our psalms

When I returned to the door of the house with Lao Cao, I had already seen several policemen standing there wearing the same police uniforms as Lao Cao usually wore. It didn’t take long before I saw my father being killed by several other policemen. When he came out, his hands were handcuffed. Although he tried his best to press his hands down so that I could not see them, I still saw them.

"Uncle..." I called out.

My father didn't say a word, just smiled at me slightly.When he walked in front of Lao Cao, he suddenly knelt down with his knees facing Lao Cao.

Lao Cao hurriedly knelt down to help him, but he refused to get up no matter what.

"Brother Cao, there are thousands of words, and a brother doesn't know where to start. Thank you, baby, please, my failed father, there is nothing to repay!"

"What are you talking about? I recognize this baby and I don't need you to tell me what to do. You are looking down on me." Lao Cao hurriedly said, "Zi Cheng, why are you still standing here? Get up!"

I walked up to my father, and together with Lao Cao, I finally helped him up.At this time, my father's eyes were full of tears.

"Zicheng, you must be obedient. Don't be like uncle anymore, you know?" My father said to me earnestly.I seem to have fallen into numbness at this moment, and I know that there is no way to recover everything.I just nodded vigorously.

Without too many words, the father was slowly brought into the police car.Watching the car slowly disappear from my sight, at that moment, I couldn't help crying again.

Lao Cao kept patting my shoulder and comforting me: "Be good, be strong, be obedient..."

A few days later, in the court, the father's sentence came down, 20 years in prison.When I heard the news, I immediately rushed towards my father like crazy, but of course I was stopped by the police.

When I saw my father again, he was already inside the high walls of the prison. My father sat in front of me with his hair shaved and wearing prison uniform and cloth shoes, which made my heart ache.He still smiled at me optimistically.

"It's okay. Uncle will be fine. It won't be long before 20 years. Maybe he will lose if he performs well." I knew he was comforting himself and me.

"Uncle, don't worry!" Lao Cao had already taught me what to say, and I mustered up a lot of courage to say it, "I will listen to my godfather, and I will finish it well." Study, live well, and wait for you to come out..." Before I finished speaking, my disappointing tears welled up again.

"Don't worry, Lao Wang, I promise you, I will take good care of Wang Zicheng, you should perform well here, and try to come out as soon as possible." Lao Cao said while gently rubbing my back, but I still kept talking. sobbing.

"Hmm..." Father still smiled, just like what Lao Cao said, there are many helpless things, and there is no other way but to face them.

Finally, after watching my father walk through the heavy iron gate, I couldn't help but threw myself into Lao Cao's arms again and burst into tears.

Lao Cao, who never asks for leave, took a few days off for the first time this time, and he has been here with me all the time.wherever I go.

There is a large maple leaf forest on the outskirts of my hometown. In autumn, the red maple leaves all over the mountains and plains will dye the whole mountain red, and the ground is also covered with a thick layer. Walking up will make a "chi chi" sound, just like dust. A familiar melody in memory.I have loved to come here to play since I was very young. My parents used to bring me here together. After my mother was gone, my father brought me here. Every year there will be no less.And now, autumn has not yet fully arrived, and there is no deep red that makes people shine.

"It's very beautiful here." Lao Cao said as he walked. He knew that I hadn't spoken a word for a few days, and he was always trying to get me to speak.

Seeing that I was still walking endlessly in silence, Lao Cao stopped.

"Cheng'er!" He stopped me, and I stopped and stood in front without moving.

"Dad is tired, can you rest for a while?" He said

I didn't speak, nodded and slowly sat down under a big maple tree beside the road.Lao Cao also came over and sat beside me.

"Drink some water." He handed me the mineral water bottle in his hand, "This mountain is still quite high, and it's a bit tiring to climb up."

I took a few sips of mineral water, still staring straight ahead.

"CET-[-] still has to be taken, don't you think so?" Lao Cao suddenly said, "Don't be like this, listen to Dad and cheer up, okay?"

I still looked ahead in silence.

"How can you behave like this, how can you be worthy of your father." Lao Cao kept talking, but I still didn't have any mood.

"Even if he did it wrong, it was all for you, you know? He just wants you to live a better life, although his way is wrong, and you are like this, what will he think if he knows!"

"You go!" I finally spoke, but it was these few words.

"What?" Lao Cao looked at me in surprise, the wrinkles on his forehead formed a pile.

"Thank you." I said, "But none of this has anything to do with you, and I don't want to be your burden!"

"What did you say, say it again?!" His usual serious expression was revealed again at this time.

"You know why we are together. This is not your original intention, isn't it? I... I don't think I have any mood to talk to anyone anymore. "

The blue veins on Lao Cao's face are exposed, and I know he is very angry now.But after a while, he immediately regained his composure.

"I don't blame you, I understand how you feel now. But, you are no longer an ignorant child, do you understand?"

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"

"I am your father, and now this is a fact that no one can change!"

"..." I looked at him indifferently, "Uncle..."

"Don't think this is a joke. Although I know why we came together, that's not the most important thing. You should learn to be a loving and righteous person. No matter what kind of love it is, father and son Regardless of love, we are already connected, now let me not care about you how I did it, not only for the promise to your father, but also for myself..." He didn't go on, but I understood what he meant , "You can do whatever you want, but I can't leave you alone, I can't let my temper go on, until one day you really grow up and have the ability to make your own choices, then no one will force you anymore what."

"But……"

"But what, stop your naive thoughts immediately. Whether you admit it or not, you have already recognized me as a father, and I have recognized you as a baby. It's not just anyone who wants to go back on his word."

Looking at Lao Cao's determined eyes, I knew that it was impossible to change according to his temperament.But I still felt his sincerity in my heart, and I was silently moved, but I still couldn't fully accept all of this for a while.

After all, I listened to him, caught the last flight of the day and flew back to the city, and returned to that "home".

As usual, after eating the meal made by Lao Cao, I went back to my room to read a book.Whether you can't watch it or not, it still looks like it will continue to do so.I really don't want Lao Cao to worry any more.

At this time, Xiaodong's phone call came suddenly.

"Where have you been all these days? I don't see you surfing the Internet. I'm so worried."

"Something happened at home."

Hearing my low tone, Xiaodong asked with concern: "Can you tell me what's going on at home?"

"Maybe later!"

"Uh... well, I... I..."

His tone was hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.

"what happened?"

"I need your help with something!"

"what's up?"

"Do you want to finish listening to the story about me? I'm going to take you to a place tomorrow, and you'll know when you get there."

"What are you doing secretly, tell me now!"

"No, you have to come tomorrow, we still meet at the gate of the People's Park!"

"I am in a bad mood!"

"I know, but this time... if you don't help me, I will die."

"What's so serious?"

"me……"

Seeing that he was embarrassed again, I didn't bother to ask, but he rarely does this usually, so I thought there must be something bothering him.

"Okay, I'll try my best tomorrow."

"Thank you, Brother Cheng!"

"Need not!"

Hanging up the phone, I suddenly felt a hairy feeling in my heart.
