C39 Monocrotaline
Time went back to 1994. Brain Nerve Research Center of a Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
"My deduction is correct. You are the only one who can protect my daughter." my dad excitedly said after hearing Shuyue's brainwave conclusion.
"Protect who?" Shuyue was confused.
His father simply told Shuyue what happened in the United States.
"I'm afraid that it will find us. I hope that if something happens, you can take care of my daughter." My father suddenly knelt down.
"Me?" Shuyue subconsciously shook her head: "I really can't do it, I've never raised a child before, I can't bring up a child! And I can't control your brain. You're a father to your mother. You should protect her yourself. "
Shuyue said as she took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it up.
"I'm afraid it's not safe for my daughter to stay with me. Her mother was an ordinary person, and the less she knew, the better for her. As for me … "
Suddenly my father took a knife from his pocket and drew a line in the palm of his hand.
No blood.
In its place was some dark green mucus, which gushed out of the wound.
"How can this be!" Shuyue opened her eyes wide:
"Why are you telling me now? Definitely... There must be a way! "I'll contact the United States..." Shuyue panicked.
My father shook his head and interrupted Shuyue: "It's useless. To some extent, I am no longer human …"
"For the sake of my daughter, I must understand the history of our family. To find out the truth, I must go to Tibet. If she follows me, she'll be more dangerous, and I want her to have the same childhood as a normal child. " my father whispered.
"But I …" Shuyue bit her lips. She knew just how heavy of a promise this was.
It was already afternoon by the time he left the Academy of Sciences. The two of them walked aimlessly towards the north for a long time.
They didn't say anything along the way.
At that time, Beijing was not as bustling as it is today. People who had just finished work rode their bicycles past by the roadside, and the streets were filled with "yellow masks" and buses. The two of them had been following the spring breeze of reform and opening up in Beijing for more than a decade. The elderly could not change the habits of old Beijing.
However, the courtyard had long since been demolished, and what replaced it were courtyards and residential buildings. The small shops on the road, from the bookstore to the hairdresser to the photo shop, were all there. Unknowingly, the two of them walked to the altar.
The Moon Altar is not considered one of Beijing's famous tourist attractions. It has not collected tickets since the 1980s. There was a large open space outside the park. Many children were flying kites in the open space.
Shuyue stopped in her tracks and watched a kite fly up from the red wall. It didn't even fly two seconds before it fell heavily onto the ground.
"Your kite is broken into pieces, spin it, you can't fly, come on!" A little boy picked up the kite that fell off, while another little fatty beside him taunted him bluntly.
Shuyue looked at the kite that the little boy was holding. It was indeed quite old, the Dragon Bone Shelf had broken down a little, and the kite was unbalanced by the wind, so it naturally could not fly.
"The Great Braveheart is just spouting nonsense, let's ignore them." The boy picked up the kite and turned to the other girl.
The little girl held the string in her hand and nodded. "Little big brother, are you tired?"
"Not tired, let's do it again." As the boy spoke, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and took his kite as he walked away.
Just then, the wind suddenly picked up, and the little boy immediately turned to the little girl and said, "Quick! "Now is the time. Release!"
The little girl lifted the spool with all her might, and the little boy ran wildly against the wind. Seeing that the kite was about to fly, the little boy tripped over something and fell down. The kite dropped to the ground again.
The little girl panicked and quickly ran towards the boy. Only after running did she realize that the little girl was a cripple.
Maybe because he felt Shuyue's strange gaze, the little boy immediately walked forward a few steps to stand in front of the little girl, and roared fiercely at Shuyue: "What are you looking at!"
On the other hand, Shuyue was amused by his ferocious look, and was a little taken aback.
"Don't worry about her," the little boy brushed the dirt off his hands, then turned to the little girl and said, "In the future, big brother will take you to see a foreign doctor, you'll definitely be able to cure it!"
"Alright!" Bullsh * t again! A bicycle repairman like your father can still daydream! My mom said that dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. The little fatty provocatively snorted and ran off with the other children.
The little boy clenched his fists. Shuyue suddenly felt that this child's unconvinced gaze was very familiar.
"Little friend, your kite dragon bone is crooked, so it's not balanced due to the wind, so it can't be put away." My dad walked over and took out two newspapers from his bag. "Can I fix them for you?"
"Our kite is fine!" Although the little boy said this, he still handed the kite to his father hesitantly, "It's broken. Are you going to compensate me?"
My father smiled. "When I was younger than you, I could fly in a kite with a newspaper."
My father patiently rolled the newspaper into a slender paper stick and replaced the crooked dragon bone with it. "Try again."
The little boy took the kite and said to the girl, "Let's try it again. If it doesn't fly, then he will compensate us."
The little girl smiled apologetically at my father.
"The wind is blowing! "Run!" Shuyue suddenly felt a gust of wind blow against her hair.
The little boy immediately ran towards the distance, shouting, "Release the line! "Relay!"
When the last rays of the setting sun were still out of the corner of his eyes, the kite crookedly flew up into the sky.
The four of them stood at the entrance of the Moon Altar Park, looking up at the sky where a kite had turned into a black dot.
"One day, I will be as free as it is. I want to be an astronaut, fly a rocket, and go to a place higher than the sky! " the boy said to himself.
"Brother, when you fly to the sky, you must take me with you." The little girl pulled at the thinning thread.
"Of course! We won't be in the alley then! We fly to the North Pole and live with the penguins! "
"Stupid girl, don't believe a kid's words. The North Pole is nothing but a penguin from the South Pole. A boy has no hair on his mouth, so you might as well throw your life away. " Shuyue said with a half smile and half anger.
"Little big brother won't lie to me, I want to be an astronaut even when I grow up! I'm going to the Arctic State, and the Arctic State has penguins! " When the little girl heard Shuyue saying bad things about the little boy, she was so angry that her face turned red, and she looked at Shuyue as if she wanted to eat him up.
Shuyue turned around and shrugged, "Childish!"
Her nose was sore, and her eyes were filled with tears. She was afraid that my father would see it.
As the sky gradually darkened, the two children packed up their kites and returned home to eat. Shuyue and my father sat at the door of the altar and watched the street lights light up.
"I didn't expect you to remember the craftsmanship when you were young." Shuyue laughed.
"There were a lot of unhappy times when I was young," my father said.
"When you were young, you were an extremely unyielding person. However, the fate that you wanted to destroy brought you back to the starting point once again."
After a moment of silence.
"You know I have a thousand reasons to refuse." Shuyue lit a cigarette.
"Mm, I know. Even if you don't want to, I don't blame you. I already owe you a lot."
"But I promise you." After Shuyue took one last drag, she took out the cigarette in her bag and threw the lighter into the trash can, "Although you are a bastard, if it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have become such a good person."
"If it ever comes to that, I'll think of her as my own daughter." Shuyue sniffed: "But I hope that day will never come."
"I hope that she will grow up to be like you. She will be strong and will never give up."
"Bullsh * t!" Shuyue hit my father with his school bag.
In this world, every day, there were many people who rebelled against their own fate.
Hold your faith in the current, and find your hope in the dark.
But there was more regret.
But I am still grateful, our efforts are not worthless, our confrontation has become a memory of light, we in the unarmed struggle with fate, have become better themselves.
And I met you.
The day that my father spoke of came faster than I had expected.
After meeting up with Shuyue, he immediately went to Luo Bu Lake. This time she was gone for months.
On a certain day at the end of the year, Shuyue received a call from my father.
"Shuyue, where are you, can you come over to my house? "I just came back --"
"I saw it in Robb's Pool."
Shuyue rushed over to my house. My father had lost a lot of weight and was covered in injuries, while my mother sat by the table. Her eyes were red from crying.
"I saw it at Luo Bu Lake. Its appearance hasn't changed at all … It also saw me and I think it won't be long before it finds me here. " My father frowned, "Today, you will take Woof away …"
"What about you two? "If he really did come knocking and saw that your young lady had disappeared, he would also be suspicious."
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will find a substitute, and that girl also left some blood in our family. It won't be able to tell." Suddenly, my father looked up and said firmly, "I'll go to Kikukawa tomorrow."
"Our two children? Impossible! I'm the only one left in my generation... Don't tell me you're saying this! " Shuyue opened her eyes wide.
"Yes," my father nodded. "Do you remember when I stole the sperm sample I sent to you for testing?"
"The little girl you're talking about …" Shuyue had not finished speaking when I pushed open the door and entered.
"Sis …" Auntie... "Alright." I saw a stranger, hesitated, and said hello.
"Hey, is this Woof?" "Come over and let auntie hug you." Shuyue didn't continue speaking, but walked over and carried me in her arms.
"You will be living with Auntie Shuyue tomorrow," Mother said as she held my hand. "Darling, can we go back to your room to pack up first?"
After Mom brought me back to my room, my dad took out the yellow envelope with the thousand words in it from his school bag.
"Please give this envelope to my daughter at the right time. It contains an encrypted password written by her mother. Let her memorize the code inside, and you'd better memorize it too. In the future, only the two of you will know the code. If you do encounter 43, you can communicate through this password. It can only intercept encrypted information. "
