After Mr. Liu Ba handed over the new mission, I left the villa first. It was inconvenient for me and I didn't want to get involved in women's affairs, so I hid whenever I could, but the dog still had no intention of leaving. , stuck there stupidly like a piece of rotten wood that has not been moistened by rain.
When Gouzi gave Liu Qiaomei the gold bracelet, I could still see his thoughts, but it seemed that Liu Qiaomei had always regarded him as his apprentice and had not thought about it at all.
But Gouzi is obviously a stubborn person, and he just can't turn this corner. They are about to get married and have children, and he is still having unrealistic unrequited love. It really makes me speechless for a while.
I want to communicate with him, but I can't, so I simply don't bother to care about this mess. I just do whatever I want. I hope that one day he can think it through completely.
After leaving the villa, I took a taxi back to the antique store. Just as I arrived at the antique store and before I could get out of the car, I received a call from Master Liu, saying that he wanted me to stay in the Yellow River. Wait for him at the ferry.
Mr. Liu rarely calls me. In the past ten years, I can count the number of times I have answered Mr. Liu's calls with my fingers. He suddenly called me. Could it be that the plan has been advanced? ?
When I thought of this, I got so excited that I told the driver not to leave yet. I ran back to the antique store, picked up my backpack, and ran out again, leaving the little kid with a confused look on his face.
About ten minutes later, I got off the car at the Yellow River Ferry. After staring for about five or six minutes, Liu Baye slowly walked to my side.
Seeing that I was carrying a bag, Mr. Liu asked in surprise: "Dongzi, where are you going?"
"It's not godfather. Didn't you ask me to come? Aren't we going to Henan?" I asked doubtfully.
Liu Baye grinned when he heard this, sat down on an empty bench by the river bank, patted the empty seat next to him and said to me: "Isn't it all set for two days? You kid is too anxious. Come on, I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you, don’t you think this is a good place to talk about things.”
I was so happy. It seemed that I had made a mistake. I nodded and sat on the bench. I turned around and looked at the turbulent water of the Yellow River behind me. Although it sounded like a stormy sea, it was amazing. There is an indescribable silence and peace, and it is indeed a place for chatting.
"Dongzi, it seems that we have never calmed down and talked like this before." Liu Baye said in a long tone and looked at me deeply.
"Well, it seems so." I responded stupidly.
"Dongzi, in fact, I have known about your life experience for a long time, and I also know that your biological father is Xie Sanjian, who was a great thief in the past. Your father and I also had a relationship, but I never thought that in the end, our family would be ruined. Even he I also disappeared..."
After listening to Liu Baye's words, I couldn't sit still. I was so shocked that I stood up directly, "Godfather, are you telling the truth?"
Liu Baye nodded and continued: "That's right, I wanted to discuss the partnership with your dad that day, but I never thought that after I got there, the house collapsed. Later I met We arrived at a monk and learned from the monk that Xie Sanjian’s son was not dead, so we searched all the way and finally found you in the hands of a trafficker. I have always admired your father’s character and ability. He is not here. Naturally, I couldn't watch his family being ruined, so I rescued you. On the one hand, I hope that one day you and my son can reunite, and on the other hand, I also want to do it as a favor to you so that I can ask your father for help. Dongzi, You don’t think I’m someone who wants to repay you, do you?”
After listening to Mr. Liu's words, my heart was touched. It turned out that Mr. Liu did not save me by chance, but because I was Xie Sanjian's son, he deliberately saved me from the hands of human traffickers. This was a small life, and the monk he mentioned was probably the passing monk who helped me bury my mother.
Although Mr. Liu also said that he saved me because of my father's abilities, and his intention in saving me was to be rewarded one day, I have never doubted Mr. Liu's character.
"Godfather, no, you have always treated me as your biological son all these years. I, Xie Dongzi, can feel it. If my father knows that there is a kind person like you, he will definitely help me. Even if the time comes, He doesn’t want to, but there is me. In order to repay your life-saving grace and nurturing grace, I am willing to take my life.”
"Once a father, always a father, godfather, please accept my homage!"
I couldn't stop my emotions when they came up, so I said that I would kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Liu, in order to thank him for his life-saving grace, his nurturing grace, and his frank treatment.
But before I could kneel down, Liu Baye hurriedly stood up and supported me, "Silly boy, why are you kneeling? This is not something we want to do. Telling you this is just to let you know what's wrong. In fact, you don’t have to keep your worries in your heart all the time. It’s better to talk to your relatives and friends more than to bear it alone, do you understand?”
"Yeah, I understand." I nodded in response.
Seeing me nodding in reply, Mr. Liu showed a trace of relief on his face, but soon he sighed again and said, "Oh, it's only my fault that I haven't been able to find out about you after so many years." I’m really incompetent for a little bit of news about dad.”
Seeing Master Liu Ba being so frank and remorseful, I couldn't hide anything at all. I immediately spoke to Master Liu with joy and said, "Godfather, actually I have learned about my dad's whereabouts. He was just ten years old." Among the mountains!"
"What! A hundred thousand mountains! So that's how it is, it's really great!"
After learning the news about my dad, Liu Baye looked extremely excited, just like the same expression I had when I learned the news about my dad from Lai Aju.
Liu Baye acted very eagerly, as if he was going to go to Shiwanda Mountain with me right now.
In fact, I think so too, but I have no choice but to wait for Lai Aju to come together. Besides, there is still the matter of Qiu Hun in front of me, plus Liu Qiaomei's marriage, so even if Lai Aju loses time, then We have to wait until all these things come to an end before we can go.
I no longer have anything to hide from Mr. Liu, especially when I discovered the strong mood Mr. Liu showed after learning the news about my father, I felt even more deeply.
So I told Liu Baye without reservation that I wanted to wait for Lai Aju.
Lai Aju is just a Miao person. I thought it was impossible for Mr. Liu Ba to recognize such a small character.
But when I mentioned the three words "Lai'aju", Mr. Liu's eyes were obviously focused. This expression clearly meant that he knew the Lai'aju that I was talking about.
"Dongzi, the Lai'aju you are talking about is the Lai'aju from the Lai Miao Village?"
"Yes, why do you know her, godfather?" I asked in surprise.
Liu Baye frowned, as if recalling the past, and then he nodded to me and said, "Well, I met her once about Lai Aju. It seems that she was the one who saved your dad when he fell into the river. of."
"Yes, that's what she said too." I exclaimed.
It seems that what Lai Aju told me is true, at least it has been confirmed by Liu Baye.
Liu Baye looked at me and smiled meaningfully, "In that case, let's wait until we get back from this trip. It's getting late. Dongzi, you should go back and rest early. It's good to recharge your batteries in the past two days." Accompany me to retrieve the Qiu Soul."
"Don't worry, godfather, I promise to complete the mission!"
………………
Liu Baye said he had other things to do and left first, leaving me standing alone on the bank of the river, looking at the fast and turbid river water, which reminded me of the time I fell into when I was ten years old. The scene in the Yellow River.
Thinking about it now, if I hadn't grabbed a piece of rotten wood at that time, it wouldn't be as scary as it is today.
I was looking at the river and sighing, and suddenly I felt that the atmosphere around me was not right, because I found that there were people staring at me furtively from all directions at this moment.
