Zheng Qing asked again: "How is living here? Yesterday the doctor said that you won't wake up until this morning. I didn't sleep well last night. So I came here early this morning."

Li Jianrui replied: "Maybe because, the doctor also said that I was in good physical condition, so I woke up last night. Later, the nurse helped to order a takeaway. Then I slept until dawn. I had a pain in my back, and the doctor just woke up. Say it's a natural reaction. It's nothing, you don't have to worry too much."

"I saw your ID card yesterday. Your name is Li Jianrui. Let me introduce myself formally. My name is Zheng Qing. I work as a teacher in a private middle school in NJ."

Li Jianrui nodded and replied, "I know that."

Zheng Qing said bitterly: "some things have happened recently. I am very busy. So, I probably don't have much time to take care of you in the hospital. But you don't have to worry. I will bear all the expenses here. When the work is over, I will thank you very much."

Li Jianrui nodded again.He replied, "I know that."

Zheng Qing said to herself: "I'm really sorry! You helped me and this happened. But I don't have time to take care of you. I'm really sorry!"

Li Jianrui said: "Actually, I'm here for you!"

Zheng Qing raised her head suddenly when she heard Li Jianrui say this.Looking at him with puzzled eyes.Repeating that sentence: "Are you here for me?"

In her mind, she instantly recalled an event that happened before.

Once, when I was in high school.On the way home from school.he

She got to three rogues.Block her in the alley.Talking nonsense.He even frightened her with his hands and feet.Until a male classmate appeared, the story of the hero saving the beauty happened.

The male classmate, who usually looks quite weak, suddenly seems to be possessed by a superman.Beat the crap out of the three hooligans.Flee in a hurry.

The male classmate chased after her.She has rejected that male classmate many times.Because she always felt that this person's motive for pursuing her was not pure.

After that, she didn't have any contact with this male classmate.

Because there is a secret she has never said.

She knew all three hooligans.During the time I lived with my father.I saw it at a banquet once.Hooligans from other gangs.And the range of activities of that gang is not here at all.

Since then, she has only felt that people are unpredictable.Even the way the hero saves the beauty in the story will be used to the fullest.Fortunately, in the following time, during her growing up.She has been living a very low-key life.Nothing like it has ever happened again.Until she met Li Jianrui.

Li Jianrui keenly sensed the guard in Zheng Qing's eyes.But he repeated: "Indeed, I'm here for you!"

"Why?" Zheng Qing asked.

This time, Li Jianrui stopped asking.He remembered the conversation he had said to himself yesterday again in his mind.I feel like I can't speak casually.

But seeing Zheng Qing's face full of doubts and alertness.

Li Jianrui couldn't help saying: "The King of Heaven covers the Earth Tiger."

"Huh? Then should I say the pagoda suppresses the river demon?" Zheng Qing said with a smile.

Li Jianrui scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.He suddenly thought: just don't say anything, let Zheng Qing read his father's handwriting first.

"When you sent me here yesterday, the waist bag I brought is now stored in the nurse's station. Could you please get it for me?" Li Jianrui said.

Zheng Qing nodded and said, "Yesterday you were already in a coma. I heard that there are a lot of thieves in the hospital. And you are alone in this ward, so I am worried that the thieves will visit you in the middle of the night, so I will help you put your purse in the nurse's station. Oh, by the way, I opened my pocket and your wallet yesterday. Because you are going to be discharged from the hospital, you need your ID card. I didn’t look at the others, I hope you don’t mind.”

Li Jianrui nodded and said: "Thank you yesterday. Forget it, neither of us should say thank you. You thank me, and I thank you again, and there will be no end. Haha!"

Zheng Qing nodded, then turned and walked out.After a while he came back with his pocket bag in his hand.Put the purse in his hands.Said: "Look inside, is there anything missing? I'm worried, I was in a hurry yesterday, maybe something fell and I didn't find it."

Li Jianrui looked at the pocket in his hand.It was a canvas bag that could be tied around the waist.There is a zipper on the top of the bag, and there are several layers inside, so you can put a lot of things.

He even loaded it with bullets when he went hunting in the mountains.Then they take the prey down the mountain, sell it and put the money in their pockets.He has used this fanny pack for a long time.It's been so long that he doesn't even remember when he started using it.

But this time is not a good time to remember the past.He unzips the fanny pack.Take out a folded letter from the interlayer, unfold it, and hand it to Zheng Qing.

When Zheng Qing watched him take out the letter and unfold it slowly, she recalled what he said just now.Instantly felt something.

Zheng Qing took the letter paper, but didn't read it right away.Instead, he looked into Li Jianrui's eyes and said, "You said just now that you came for me. Why?"

She dared not look at the letter.Because she knew: when her father asked others to give her this letter, it showed one thing, not only had his father completely lost his freedom.The only hope rests on her.

All these years, she has been living alone.

Apart from feeling terrified every time she meets her father, she feels free and happy.Don't have to face dripping blood anymore.No need to be woken up by a sudden knock on the door in the middle of the night.There is no need to hide and hide with my father from time to time.

Received this letter now.It means: the time of freedom has passed, and the time to fulfill obligations has come.

Li Jianrui looked in front of him, this girl who seemed very lively suddenly had a cloudy expression on her face.Reluctantly said: "Don't ask me yet, just read the letter and you should understand."

Zheng Qing said silently in her heart: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided!"

Then he looked down at the contents of the letter.

The content of the letter was very simple. In fact, Dao Scar's third son dictated it several times and asked her to memorize it.

She still remembers the original words of Dao Scar's third child at that time: "Remember well! If one day, someone comes to you with this letter, it means that I have been caught. And, I will definitely not be able to escape. Only you can save me."

"Actually, I don't want you to save me. You can refuse any request from the person who comes. Live the life you want."

"I'm sorry! Your father, I don't have any education. If I have any, I just fight on the street. You are a good girl, and my father can't give you a happy and safe life. But my father will keep fighting! "
