“Lucky for me, I dug up a few wild sweet potatoes. ”

Just walked in, Old Feng rejoiced: “But I tried the fruit, it's too sour. ”

Tao Xia raised her head slowly, looking at Old Feng. When she heard the old man's voice, her nervousness eased up a little, and she even smiled subconsciously: "I haven't had roasted sweet potatoes in a long time. ”

But Feng hesitated and asked, “Girl, can you see something? ”

Tao Xia smiled and shook her head: “Well, I can see a little something at first, but it's still very blurry, like a big myopia. ”

Old Feng then secretly relieved himself and sat down. As he began to bury the sweet potatoes in the fire, he said softly: “No wonder you're feeling better. ”

Tao Xia stretched out her hands, roasted the fire, and made her body warmer, nodding her head: “I never knew, it was so important to have a little light. ”

Old Von didn't talk.

Tao Xiaman suddenly asked: "Old man, do you have a cell phone? I want to make a phone call. ”

Old Feng shook his head: “I didn't bring that kind of thing. You're going to call your family, right? ”

Tao Xia nodded and sighed: “My fiancé, I'm sure he's worried about me now. ”

"'There's a fog in the woods,' said Old Feng. 'It's not safe to walk now. Your feet are also damaged. When the sun comes out tomorrow, I'll take you out. ”

“That's the only way.” Tao Xia nodded and apologized again: "I'm sorry, old man. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here all night. ”

Old Feng shook his head: “It's okay. Anyway, I was alone, and someone said something...”

He looked toward Tao Xia Wang, his voice was a little lower, "… and it was fine. ”

Remembering what this old man had said before, Tao Xia Wan imagined that this was supposed to be a lonely old man, and there was compassion, “Old man, why did you meet your daughter? Is she the one who left you? ”

“I left her.” Old Feng shook his head, "I was sorry for her. ”

“This...” Tao Xia hesitated softly: "Old man, there is no overnight hatred between father and daughter, maybe you should talk to her. ”

Suddenly it snapped.

It was old Feng who broke a branch that he was going to throw into the firewood, and he said, "Will there really be no overnight resentment? ”

Tao Xia sighed and smiled bitterly: "Perhaps… I am also the least qualified to say this. Me too... I haven't seen my dad in a long time. ”

“Why didn't you see him?” Old Feng's voice improved slightly.

Tao Xiaman fell silent, holding his legs and his chin on his knees, so silently looking at the fire in front of him, not knowing what to think.

Old Feng sighed, “I'm sorry, I asked too much. ”

“No… nothing.” Tao Xia shook her head.

She always wanted to talk about it. She just couldn't find anyone to talk to.

The old man in front of her, she doesn't know, maybe just a meeting of fate… a stranger.

A stranger who doesn't know her past, who may not have much to interact with in the future… life is perfect for talking about.

“Old man, I...” she raised her head and said bitterly: "I'm actually the daughter of a murderer. ”

Old Feng's hand shook and slowed down the action of placing the branches. He can only breathe slowly at this point. Because, for a moment, it was hard for him to catch his breath.

“Will you look down on me?” Tao Xia saw the old man suddenly silent and seemed a little nervous.

“No, no.” Old Feng shook his head, "How could it, how could it? I look down on myself. ”

“Old man, you...”

“Nothing.” Old Feng took a deep breath: “The other person is the other person, I am me, I am not qualified to comment on others. ”

Tao Xia smiled with a smile and said, "Old man, if everyone could be as wide as you, there would probably be a lot less in the world... a lot of things. ”

Old Feng frowned, “Do you... care about other people's eyes? ”

Tao Xia shook her head and remained silent until she slowly said: “I don't know, I really don't know. I forgot a lot about when I was a kid. But there are things you can't forget. They're like clocks, always reminding me when I don't mind… I'm scared. ”

“Afraid? ”

Tao Xia raised her head, like holding on to tears that could easily fall out of her eyes. “Remember then, my father was caught shortly... that must have been the family of the original victim, maybe they were really angry, maybe they simply wanted to find a place to vent their grievances...”

Tao Xia shook her head and smiled bitterly: “Can you imagine the mood... being accused of being the killer's daughter day after day, with dirty blood on her... whether it's the school teachers and students or the neighbors' eyes, it's like carrying a respect and a distance. Apathetic, cold... cold. ”

“How could they do this to you!! You're so young!! Them, them, them! ”

Old Feng's heart was bleeding and he said a few ‘they’ in a row, and he plunged the branches of his hand into the fire.

Tao Xiaman was shocked, “Old man, how can you... be more excited than me? ”

“I...” Old Feng sighed: “I'm doing it for you! Why extend hatred to the next generation when the last generation has done the wrong thing? ”

Tao Xia laughed bitterly and was confused: "Yeah... why? Perhaps the injured can fill the void in their hearts only through harm. ”

Inside the cave, there was a sudden silence.

Only the aroma of cooked sweet potatoes begins to diffuse.

“Sounds familiar, doesn't it?” Tao Xia whispered softly: “It smells so good. ”

“I'll get it for you.” Old Feng nodded and dug out the sweet potatoes with the branches. He quickly reached out and picked them up. Unexpectedly, the sweet potato was hot. Old Feng screamed painfully, and the sweet potatoes fell out of his hand.

“Old man, are you all right?” Tao Xia subconsciously reached out and grabbed Feng's finger and blew his breath gently, "Wouldn't you pick up something so hot later? ”

“I'm in such a hurry.” Old Feng shook his head with a smile.

Tao Xiaman suddenly pounded. She lengthened her sleeves, covered her palms, and carefully lifted the sweet potatoes and blew them, recalling: "Remember when I was a kid, my dad was always like you, always able to get the sweet potatoes hot. He couldn't change that bad habit. ”

“You… you remember. ”

“Hmm?” Tao Xia stunned, seemingly not hearing that clearly.

Old Feng said softly: "Nothing. Eat it while it's hot. ”

“Come on, I'll give you bye.” Tao Xiamang laughed and gently broke open the general and divided it in front of Old Feng.

The two of them simply ate this crude roasted sweet potato and said nothing more.

Old Feng doesn't know what it's like to eat Tao Xia Man, but he does know that this is the best meal he's had in over a decade.

Chat, have a meal, say laugh, see each other.

It's a meal he's been looking forward to for over a decade.

……

Don't know when Tao Xiamang has been lying down. She suffered a lot of things a day, and I'm afraid she's exhausted and her breathing is gradually calming down.

Old Feng watched this pile of firewood carefully, afraid it would suddenly extinguish the past.

But he wanted to ask himself something, so he said, "Girl, girl? ”

“Well, I'm listening.” Tao Xia beat up a debt. “Anything wrong? ”

Old Feng hesitated, “Miss, are you sure you don't want to see your father? Maybe... he misses you too. ”

“I don't know...” She seemed troubled and confused. “I'm afraid... I don't know... how to face it... I'm afraid...”

“Aunt...” Old Feng turned her head and sighed when she saw that she was already tired of sleeping. “Xia Mang, it's Dad who's sorry for you. ”

……

Old Feng hurled out toward the firewood, slightly folding down a small dry branch and threw it away. It was already midnight, only his daughter's sleeping breath and the sound of the mountain wind accompanied him.

His inner peace is immense.

Old Feng suddenly approached Tao Xiamang and reached over her face gently... He wanted to touch this face gently, but he didn't dare to really come close, scared a little disturbed, disturbed her dreams.

Perhaps she was having a wonderful dream at the moment, and he saw her smile as she slept.

Old Feng sighed and slowly walked out of this cave. The fog on the outside is still heavy, but the moon can be seen in the middle of nowhere.

Feng raised his head and stood still for a long time before biting his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

“Enough, come out.” Feng softly said: “That's enough, come out, I know you're here... boss. ”

Lao Feng's call finally allowed the club owner to show up in the night.

“Old man, what can I do for you?” Rochu asked softly.

Lao Feng looked at him and silenced for a moment before he called out: “Thank you for scheduling this meeting... enough, enough is enough. ”

“Nothing. I told you I'd make it up to you.” Lochu looked at the time: “Miss Xiaman's eyes will recover when she wakes up, without hindrance. ”

Old Feng nodded his head and tried to speak a few times, but put up with it again.

Finally, he opened his mouth and said softly: "Send me back… Send me back to prison. ”

“Guests.” Lochu calmly said: "According to your transaction, it is not yet agreed upon. But the transaction has begun, and even if you stop now, you will not be able to recover your transaction fee. But if you don't stop, I can make it all go back to the way it was, and you can go back and finish your wedding dress. ”

Old Feng shook his head: “It doesn't matter. ”

He looked back at the cave and persisted: "Five years of life, in exchange for this dinner, this conversation is already worth it. Besides, I've been out there for so long, I've earned it. ”

Chang Feng sighed and bitterly said: “I was too adamant, I was just thinking about my wishes, but I didn't think about Xia Long's mood... Why should I let her live happily ever after and continue to mess up? I... I shouldn't have appeared in her life again. ”

“So...” Lao Feng walked toward Lo Qiu, "send me back. ”

“I get it, then, as you wish. ”

……

When Tao Xia woke up... she woke up feeling a little chilled.

She opened her eyes and everything in front of her had become so clear that she could see everything clearly. But she couldn't see the old man who was with her all night.

The firewood has been extinguished and the old man is not here. The only coat left is this one on her.

Tao Xia shrugged, silently hearing what was coming from outside... who was shouting her name, and there seemed to be plenty of others.

She walked out of the hole, heard more noise, and saw a helicopter circling in the distance.

It's dawn.

“I'm here! I'm here!” She began to cry out loud.

Soon after, several search teams finally found her.

Tao Xia looked back at her cave for one night and felt like she was really dreaming.
