177 Father(1/2)
Xia Qing felt very at a loss about her father's sudden return, and her beautiful mood was completely broken.
What is he doing now? He is not doing well outside, so he comes to see his children? Does he know that his mother has passed away? Why is he still in the mood to come back now? What exactly is he thinking?
Xu Wen sensed Xia Qing's uneasiness, took her hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry... I'm not here! If this guy causes trouble for you, I'll be the evil man and drive him away."
"This is not necessary... I am still conscious of the head of the family, and I have many things to ask him... No matter what, let's go home first."
Xia Qing and Xu Wen rushed back home quickly, and then they happened to see a hunched figure standing alone outside the yard. Xia Qing held her words all over her stomach. After seeing each other for the first time, she immediately rushed back, and the other party turned his head and looked over.
He was wearing glasses with only half a frame, his hair was already a bit gray, with a circle of beards, and his clothes were also a little torn, just like a homeless man, even worse than when Xia Qing first met Xu Wen.
It is simply a bit insufficient to describe Xia Qing's mood at this moment, because she has no way to associate this old homeless man with the gentle father she had originally remembered.
"Ah... it's Ah Qing." His father turned his glasses and looked at Xia Qing. He smiled slightly. Although it was only about five years since his disappearance, his old appearance seemed to have been decades. Xia Qing had no idea what attitude he should use to talk to his father now.
"Qingbao,"
At this time, Xu Wen gently called Xia Qing's name, "If you don't want to see him, I will drive him away. It's not a big deal to stand like this."
There is no doubt that Xu Wen is now supporting Xia Qing's strength to stay awake. After being reminded by Xu Wen, she quickly stopped him and said, "You... you wait first, let me ask him first."
After Xia Qing cleared her throat, she quickly walked to her father, looked closer and looked up at him, and some past things could not stop rushing into her heart.
"You... are very beautiful now."
“These years…”
As soon as Xia Qing opened her mouth, she couldn't help but curl her lips, "Where have you been there all these years?"
Facing Xia Qing's questioning, his father just smiled, "You are so good now, I feel relieved."
When Xia Qing heard his elder's tone, she immediately became angry, "Do you feel at ease? Do you know how our three sisters have lived over the years!"
"Well... Thank you for your hard work..."
The father smiled and reached out to touch Xia Qing. Xia Qing subconsciously took a step back, and his father's hand hovered in the air, and then slowly retracted.
"sorry……"
Even though there were thousands of words at this moment, he still couldn't say it to his father. He thought the other party could explain what he had done in the past five years, but he ran away from home for some reason and disappeared, but in the end he didn't say anything, just perfunctorily using a simple "I'm sorry".
Seeing that he had turned around and wanted to leave again, Xia Qing suddenly shouted subconsciously.
"Stop!"
My father stopped. Xia Qing saw that the heels of his shoes were cracked and his barefoot was exposed outside. Under the influence of such a cold weather, his feet were frozen and sore, and he felt uncomfortable.
He suffered a lot outside.
But he should have been blamed and was retribution.
Maybe it was cheated by a bad woman, maybe it was retaliated by someone...
but……
but……
At least ask clearly.
"Just stop moving there."
Xia Qing took the key to open the door without a sound, and then as soon as she opened the door, she saw the fog and rain guarding the door with a stick.
Already a powerful immortal cultivator, Xia Wuyu certainly heard everything outside the door.
Her attitude was also very firm, and her gloomy and cold eyes revealed her strong and surging hatred for her father.
"This family no longer has that man's place to stay. This time I will never allow you to do the same stupid thing no matter what I say."
"I don't plan to take him in, either."
Xia Qing's expression was also very calm, "At least we must understand what happened to him in the past five years, and we cannot drive him out in an unknown way."
"I'm not interested, and I don't want to listen." Xia Wuyu's expression remained unchanged. "If you still want to drive him out after listening, then what will you do when you listen!"
"Misty Rain! No matter how he says it is-"
"I knew you would say such nonsense! You should have a limit to being a bad person! Xu Wen would forget it! But why should I bring this scum home? My mother's spiritual position is still at home, so what do you want him to come in and do! I am very restrained and didn't do it anymore! You should understand what I am going to do now!"
"Whatever you do... You are really a rebellious girl--"
As soon as Xia Wuyu heard the sound, the stick in her hand was taken by Xu Wen who suddenly appeared, "Listen to your sister, don't make a fuss."
"This thing is... don't... don't want you to get involved!"
Xia Wuyu struggled desperately to get rid of Xu Wen's shackles, but the fight was completely impossible. Even so, Xia Wuyu still grabbed around stubbornly, and Xu Wen had to use his mind to control her.
"You go to my cave first, and Xue Ji is also doing the questions there now. You have learned so many magics, why are you not mature at all..."
Xu Wen dragged Xia Wuyu toward home, and then saw Xia Wantao lying outside the door waiting.
I heard it all...
Forget it, it should be nothing.
She stood by the door like a child who did something wrong, and just smiled giggling when she looked at Xu Wen. Her helpless and sensible smile made Xu Wen feel moved. "Wan Tao, are you going over there?"
Xia Wantao shook her head and then whispered, "I...want to know about Dad."
"He is not your father! You might as well recognize Xu Wen as your father."
Xia Wuyu suddenly spoke in shock, which scared Wan Tao so much that her pupils were shaking on the spot. Xu Wen held Wu Yu and slapped her ass hard, "You just talk too much! Go there and reflect on me."
Then Xu Wen threw the fog and rain over.
At this time, Xia Qing also came in with her, "Misty Rain She-"
"She's okay, you can handle the matter here first." Xu Wen frowned, "Do you want to call your grandfather over for you?"
"Need not……"
Xia Qing paused and continued, "I see that he is wearing a torn cotton jacket and is very dirty, so I asked him to take a shower first."
"I'll go and help him wash it, you don't need to do it."
Xia Qing was shocked by Xu Wen's sudden positive response, "You... help my dad take a shower?"
"When I came before, didn't you help me take a shower?"
Xu Wen's answer made Xia Qing, who had been nervous, smile, "You... you didn't know anything at that time because you were like a fool. If my father said that, at least he would recognize who I am, he should be—"
"It's okay. I'll help him wash it. You've given me the skills of rubbing my back, right?"
"Ah...you're trying to ask for information for me...that's right, thank you..."
"Don't thank my husband."
"Then... I'll go find a towel, change the clothes, and prepare dinner."
At this moment, Xia Qing's father was still standing in the yard, Wantao was watching, Xu Wen squatted down and asked Wantao, "Have you said hello to him just now?"
Xia Wantao shook his head, "As soon as I opened the door and let him in, Sister Wuyu drove him out."
"That's how..."
Xu Wen smiled and said, "Then you can go up and say hello now."
“…”
Xia Wantao rarely feels as squeamish as she is today. She shook her head and said, "I... dare not, I am afraid."
"He is your father, what's there to be afraid of?"
“He is like a homeless vagabond.”
Xia Wantao thought for a while, "But, it was the same when Brother Xu Wen first came to my house...ah, wait - I know how to say hello to him!"
Xia Wantao quickly walked to the TV in the living room, took a paper crane next to the TV, then held the paper crane in both hands, and followed Xu Wen to his father in the yard. Perhaps because he did not get Xia Qing's approval, or because he was worried that the fog and rain would hit him, he had never intended to enter the house.
At this time, Wantao walked over with a paper crane.
During this period, she didn't look up at him until she got closer, then she raised her head and muttered:
"for you……"
"You... are Wantao."
The father squinted his eyes and smiled at Xia Wantao, "He has grown so old. He is obviously just a baby in my memory."
Facing his father's chat, Xia Wantao seemed a little nervous, just pushing the Thousand Paper Crane in his hand.
"Do you want to... give it to me?"
Xia Wantao nodded vigorously, "This is the best paper crane I have ever made."
"Is that right...then thank you, Wantao is so awesome."
My father reached out to take the Qian Paper Crane and was about to reach out to touch her head, but Wantao ran away.
Maybe it was only halfway through the way that I remembered his actions, Xia Wantao turned around and looked at his father, and trotted back.
At this time, my father's hand hanging in the air had not yet retracted.
Seeing Xia Wantao deliberately lowering his head and waiting for him to touch him, his father seemed a little surprised. But he finally smiled and reached out to touch him.
