Chapter 203 Back then

It wasn't until the woman in red came running over, that Mu Wanwan saw the smile on that person's face.

"Dad."

The woman looked up and greeted him with a smile.

He also responded with a smile.

Mu Wanwan felt a tightness in her chest at this moment.

As she grew up, the only memories she had of her father were the swirling smoke, loud roars, and the occasional sound of the mahjong table being dropped.

She swung her sword to cut away the illusion, only to feel that her children were even more uncomfortable.

"You said the barbarian girl left? With a Central Plains person?"

This time he was wearing some pale blue clothes.

The face of the man opposite had a heavy pain that did not dissipate: "Brother Zhu, Madam, she likes that Central Plains person, and I can't help her."

Mu Wanwan only felt a sadness in her heart. She looked at the father who had married her daughter, staggered to sit on the chair, and because she couldn't control her strength, she turned over directly.

The man he called Brother Liu stretched out his hand to help him up.

"Brother Zhu, from now on you can live in my Baichilou. Before the barbarian left, she didn't ask for any wages. Her lover was also a good man, so he left some money and asked me to take good care of you."

He stood up slowly, hunched over and walked out.

Walking very slowly, very slowly.

A few moments later, Mu Wanwan saw him coming back.

He was carrying a manuscript on his back and a flower pot in his arms.

"Let's go and see where I live? Since she asked me to wait for her here, then I will wait for her here."

So the man placed him on the highest floor near the street. In front was the market with people coming and going, listening to the hawking, and behind him was the highest floor of the Baichi Building.

He looked up and could see the scattered fences of the building behind him from the window. He even felt that he could reach it if he stretched out his hand for a hundred years.

Of course, he tried it on the first day he moved in, and he could reach it, but it took a lot of effort.

The life without the barbarian girl passed quickly and boringly.

Mu Wanwan watched as his hair turned gray, his teeth became sparse, and finally his beard began to fall off.

During those countless days waiting for his daughter to come back, he lived a repetitive and boring life.

Eating the same three meals and dreaming of sometimes frightening dreams.

When he was awake, he would often go to the back window and copy a piece of the Heart Sutra. After he finished copying, he would spread out the paper and start writing the story in his mind.

But his spirit was getting worse and worse. He looked at the falling snow outside the window and chanted the pear blossoms, and looked at the fireworks outside the building and sighed at the spring sun.

It was obviously three years, but it seemed to him that thirty years had passed.

One spring afternoon, he heard a cat meowing outside the window, and when he looked up, he spotted the cat on the eaves of the highest floor of the Baichi Building.

So he secretly ran to the back building, quietly opened the door, and climbed up to the eaves.

But the cat is flexible, but he is not flexible anymore.

The cold wind from high places made him shiver with cold, and he glanced downstairs.

It's still like what I saw at first, I can't see the bottom and can't hear any sound.

All I could hear was the meowing of cats and the whistling of the wind.

His heart was beating very fast because he knew that if he fell, he would never have the chance to see his daughter again.

But I'm afraid something will come. Maybe the roof tiles haven't been replaced for a long time and moss has grown on them.

He accidentally slipped and fell down.

His heartbeat was beating faster, and it even felt like it had escaped to his throat, and he felt tightness in his chest.

Slowly opening his eyes, he found that he was falling between the high platform and the outer wall.

He lowered his head and the clouds filled the air below him. Then when everything was silent, he heard a slight snoring in his ears.

After all this time, he didn't even know anyone lived in this high-rise building.

He couldn't hold on anymore, so he slowly reached out and broke off the Phalaenopsis that was growing in full bloom by the window, squeezed out the mud inside, and headed towards the cat on the roof.

The cat was frightened and took a few steps back.

He then reached out to pick up the manuscript and threw it up, but the manuscript fell on the high platform.

When he glanced over, he could even see the three big words "Su Yang Biography".

He didn't care, he continued to pinch a handful of dirt and threw it out. This time the cat jumped down suddenly, brought down a piece of tile, and stepped on his stomach again.

The person in the room seemed to be awake and he smiled.

Mu Wanwan was not clear about his intentions at first, but now when she saw him struggling to destroy his balance and trying to fall, she still didn't understand.

Seeing the relieved smile on his face, Mu Wanwan felt her heart tremble.

The expected fall did not come, but someone held his hand.

The man was tall and honest, and it took all his strength to pull him up a little.

"Don't bother, old man, I don't have long to live, so it's okay to die like this."

The young man ignored him and just shouted into the house: "Liu Man, come out and help."

He felt that the clouds passing by his ears had stopped, and when he looked at the woman walking around the corner, he forgot even his words.

"Aman."

The two tried their best to rescue him.

He was lying on the rocking chair on the high platform, feeling the joy of surviving, and even more feeling the shock of seeing Aman.

He didn't understand why his daughter came back and was right in front of him but didn't come to see him.

"Uncle Zhu, I haven't seen you for so many years. You have aged a lot."

He was confused, he didn't understand, and he didn't speak.

"A Ming, I just said I wanted to eat mung bean cake, can you help me get it?"

Ah Man opened his mouth and pushed the person next to him away.

He was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and Ah Man continued to speak: "Dad, I had no choice but to leave that year because I was pregnant with his child. I know that if you find out about this, you will definitely be beaten to death.

I, I will discuss it with Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu said A Ming is a businessman

, Businessmen value profits. If Amin knew that you were just a down-and-out scholar, he might dislike me. He also said that he was a businessman, and if I recognized him as my father, Amin would love and respect me even more in the future. So I agreed, not only

It’s for me and for my child.”

He remained silent and spoke after a long time: "Then why don't you come back to see dad? Dad has been waiting here for you for many years."

Barbarian Niang sobbed slightly, then she spoke tremblingly: "I thought you were gone. Uncle Liu told me that you were too sad because of my departure."

He understood everything after hearing this. From beginning to end, Liu used his daughter as a springboard to help him rise to fame and fortune.

He sighed: "It's useless, Dad."

Then he took out a tassel from his pocket.

"This tassel has been with me for many years. It was made up by your mother-in-law during her lifetime. You can take it. With your Uncle Liu here, I feel relieved. Your husband has been gone for a long time. You should go find him."

His eyes gradually blurred, and Mu Wanwan said: "You are going to die."

He seemed to be able to see Mu Wanwan: "Yes, I'm going to die. But there's something I don't understand. Why did you follow me as soon as I arrived in Pengshan?"

Mu Wanwan was shocked: "You can always see it?"

He smiled: "Yeah, but I didn't expect that it would be you who would accompany me on the last journey."
