Chapter 1 Bad news

"Follow my left hand

right hand in slow motion
Slow motion replay with right hand and left hand

this song brings you happiness

Did you fall in love with me..."

Suddenly, TFBOYS's "Youth Practice Manual" rang out from the phone, waking Ling Zikai up from his sleep.

He picked up the phone from the pillow in a daze, and pressed the answer button. A strange voice with a strong northeast accent came from inside:
"Excuse me, are you Ling Shuisong?..."

"Who is Ling Shuisong? Wrong type!"

Ling Zikai hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, and then suddenly remembered that his nickname was "Shui Song"!It's just that no one has called him for more than ten years, and even he himself has forgotten it.

Could it be a relative calling?

Only a few distant relatives in my hometown will call me by my nickname.

Ling Zikai looked at the location of the call, and it showed the city of BS in the northern province thousands of miles away.

In memory, BS City seems to have no relatives!

Whoever he is!Why are you calling in the middle of the night!
Before Ling Zikai put down the phone, it started singing again:
"Follow my left hand

right hand..."

Ling Zikai glanced at the screen, this time he really had to look for something:
"Mom, what are you doing? Is there anything you can't talk about during the day!"

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and my mother's deep voice came:
"He was in a car accident!"

Ling Zikai was stunned for a moment.

Of course he knew that the "he" that his mother said was referring to his biological father. For more than ten years after his parents divorced, his mother had been using "he" to replace his father's name.

"Just now, the traffic police team of BS City in the northern province called, saying that he was hit by a car and flew more than 20 meters, and he disappeared on the spot!"

Shocked by the bad news, Ling Zikai asked inexplicably: "Just now a caller from BS City called me, and I was told to hang up! How did the traffic police know our mobile phone number?"

"They said that an old photo was found in his belongings, with two mobile phone numbers written on the back! They asked us to go and deal with it."

Mom hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you going?"

Ling Zikai said coldly: "What are we going to do? There was no father when he was alive, but a son appeared when he died! Doesn't he have family members over there, let them deal with it!"

"Zikai, there is something that I have been hiding from you for fear that you will get angry! He came to me a year ago..."

"Does it mean that he regrets it now, that he shouldn't have divorced back then, and left you and your mother alone. Right?"

Ling Zikai said sarcastically.

After a while of silence, my mother said in a low voice: "Actually, it hasn't been easy for him these years. He approached me the year before last. He said that he had been staying in the mountains of Xing'anling in the northern province for these years and contracted a forest farm.

"Over there, he has never been married, but adopted a girl."

"He wanted to see you, but he was afraid that you would be angry, so he just wanted to take a photo of you when he left."

"That's all?" Ling Zikai asked calmly.

"He didn't say much, and he looked a little old and tired, as if he had a heavy heart."

"It deserves it!" Ling Zikai said coldly, "I don't want to hear his crap!"

Ling Zikai interrupted his mother's words in a blunt tone.

"... Zikai, I can't explain some things on the phone, but he must be your biological father! I have something to do here, so go to BS City tomorrow morning and see him for the last time!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zikai lost sleepiness and his mind was in a mess.

To be honest, he didn't want to go to Baishan.

He didn't have any affection for his biological father, Ling Feng, nor would he have the so-called blood-melting affection.

When he was 12 years old, from the moment his parents divorced, he hated his father from the bottom of his heart.

Ling Zikai's hometown is in Ouzhou City, Jiangnan Province.It was an area famous for its private enterprise.

Like most people in the town, his family also owns a leather shoe factory, earning millions of dollars a year. Although he can't be called a rich man, he can be considered a wealthy family.

In my childhood memories, the relationship between my parents has always been bad, and they often quarreled, and it became more and more intense.As a young man, he didn't know what caused them to break up, and he didn't know about their emotional disputes, but it turned out that he became a single-parent orphan.

During the divorce, the court awarded Ling Zikai to his mother. After leaving a sum of maintenance money, his father left the family with half of the property. It is said that he was in the north, and there has been no news since then.

The following year, my mother remarried, marrying a junior high school classmate of hers.

Ling Zikai still suspects that the reason why that classmate married his mother was because he was spying on the family property that belonged to his mother and himself.

Fortunately, before the remarriage, the mother went to the notary office and transferred all the property of the family to Ling Zikai's name.

Probably because his plan failed, the stepfather's attitude towards Ling Zikai has always been lukewarm.Ling Zikai didn't like him very much either, and he didn't even want to live in the same house with him.

After entering junior high school, regardless of his mother's opposition, Ling Zikai resolutely chose to live in school until he finished high school. Except for holidays, he would go home and live a completely independent and independent life.

During the parent-teacher meeting, he saw the fathers of his classmates talking loudly, and he was envious.

During the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, the affectionate appearance of his classmates' fathers also made him feel lost.

In his life dictionary, "fatherly love" is an extravagant word, and it is also a kind of eternal pain!
After graduating from university, he stayed in the provincial capital to work and bought a house with the property allocated to him by his mother.Every day I go to work and go home after get off work, three points and one line, ordinary life.

So much so that in his mind, "family" became a very vague concept.

Looking at the phone, it was already past four o'clock in the morning.

Ling Zikai simply got up, and first bought two air tickets to BS City in the morning online.

I also sent a message asking for leave to the company leader on WeChat.

Seeing the red light on the circle of friends, I opened it and took a look. They were all reposting, swiping the screen and the like for nothing. Are you from BS City, Northern Province?
It is said that it is very troublesome to deal with traffic accident cases now. This time I went to BS City, and I am not familiar with the place, so it might be even more difficult to deal with.

This guy named "Mouse" is his college classmate Zhang Hao, and he usually has a close relationship. I heard that his family has some background, so why not ask this buddy to help clear up the relationship, maybe it will save trouble.

Ling Zikai sent a message to Zhang Hao, asking where he is now?

Unexpectedly, with the sound of "ding dong", Zhang Hao replied immediately: "Wood, I can't sleep because of beautiful women! Do you want a buddy to help you hook up?"

Ling Zikai replied: "I'm poor, brother, I need you for something, where are you now?"

"Where else can I go, I'm an otaku!"

"That's right, I'll go to your place tomorrow?"

"Really? I don't think you need to be so exaggerated, my brother's sexual orientation is very normal!"

Ling Zikai was not in the mood to play tricks on him, so he briefly mentioned his intentions in the future.

Zhang Hao fully agreed, reassuring him that everything will be covered by him when he arrives at Baishan.

I also asked what time the flight ticket was, and he would pick up the plane at that time.

At the end, he couldn't forget to tease what kind of beauty Ling Zikai wanted, so that he could prepare in advance.

At noon, the plane landed at Baishan Airport.

Walking out of the airport, I saw a chubby young man looking up at the exit from a distance, and saw Ling Zikai, shaking his fat body, trotting up:

"Dude, you finally fell from the sky!"

Ling Zikai stepped forward to give the other party a hug, and said, "I might trouble you this time!"

"Which one of our two brothers is with whom! If you say this again, I will be in a hurry with you!"

The two got into a black Buick sedan.

While starting the car, Zhang Hao asked Ling Kai, "Where should we go first?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the funeral home first!"

When he arrived at the funeral parlor, in the refrigerated mortuary, and saw the body wrapped in a white cloth, Ling Zikai's heartstrings that had been sealed for many years finally moved.

The staff removed the white cloth covering the body's face.

A face with high cheekbones and sunken eye sockets is thrown into the eyes. The pale face is still stained with unclean blood, and the lifeless mouth is opened wide, as if calling the last voice to the world.His gray hair was messy, and his beard hadn't been shaved in a long time.A pair of empty eyes opened wide, full of confusion, panic and deep unwillingness!

Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, his lips twitched a few times.At this moment, he felt that his heart was very contradictory. He had the urge to rush forward and slap the other party several times, but also seemed to feel that something was slowly leaving him, disappearing in this world forever.

Zhang Hao, who was next to him, saw that Ling Zikai's mood was not right, so he signaled the staff to cover him with a white cloth.

At this moment, a sharp cry came from outside the door of the mortuary: "Godfather!"

A figure sprinted through the door, and threw himself on Father Ling's corpse bed, shaking the body crazily: "Godfather, what's wrong with you? Did you see me? Speak up!"

Ling Zikai glanced at the woman, guessing that she must be his father's adopted daughter. She looked a little older than Ling Zikai, about 27 or [-] years old, wearing a pair of washed jeans and a white T-shirt. I can see the back view, but I have a good figure, giving people a sense of overall uprightness.

Ling Zikai saw that she was crying so sadly there that even his nose was a little sore, so he stepped forward and said, "Okay, don't cry anymore, people can't be resurrected after death, no matter how much you cry, it's no use. Think about how to deal with the funeral!"

Perhaps Ling Zikai's words were a little cold, the woman straightened up abruptly, turned her head, and stared at each other angrily: "Who are you, what are you doing here, get out!"

At this moment, another group of people rushed in from outside, just in time to see the woman having a dispute with Ling Zikai, "Hula" all rushed up, surrounding Ling Zikai and others.
