Su Che nodded: "It's normal for our Su family to be despised and even targeted if we touch someone else's cake."

"So... it means that if there is no complete victory, all these temporary victories are just relief, right?" Su Wanxia asked a question that was difficult for Su Che to answer.

Su Che took a deep breath, looked at the gradually darkening sky and said, "Look, the sun is going down, but no one seems worried or scared at all. Why is this?"

Su Wanxia immediately replied: "Because the sun will rise as usual tomorrow morning."

"Yes, because the sun will rise as usual tomorrow morning... But have you heard such a story?"

"Um?"

"It is said that a traveler came to a strange country. In this country, everyone was busy building a tower that reached the sky. The tower was very, very high, and the traveler could not see it even from a distance.

He couldn't see how high the tower extended to, so he was curious about why this country wanted to build tall towers, but farmers who planted grain only knew how to cultivate the land, keep part of the grain, and hand over the rest to the workers.

They ate. The female worker who produced bricks in the factory said that she was only responsible for pouring the soil into the bricks. After burning the bricks, she had a mouthful of food. The people who transported the bricks to the higher parts of the tower came back once a month at first, but later it took a year.

, it takes two years, or even ten years to complete a transportation, but they don’t know why they want to build the tower. They only guess that the world may need it. Some people say that if they don’t build the tower, they will be arrested and sentenced by the king’s guards.

Therefore, for generations, the people living here only know one thing, building a high tower. As for why it was built, what the tower will be used for, and when it will end, there is no conclusion..."

Su Che paused, took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you heard of this story?"

Su Wanxia thought for a while: "It seems... when I was very young, an elder of the Su family told me this story, but I didn't remember it deeply. I only roughly remember... the tower fell down later, right?"

"Yes, the traveler's life creed is to travel everywhere, but on this day, when the traveler was searching for the secret of the tower in the town, a young man found him. He wanted the traveler to take him away, and the traveler asked him, do you

Why do you want to leave? Why don’t you stay here and build a tower like them? He said, I don’t know, but I feel that the meaning of my life should not be like this... So, please take me away..."

"Well, did the traveler take him away?"

"No, the traveler rejected him. He said that he was a traveler and would not report the young man's escape, but he would not help him leave. He only said that if he could not find the answer, he would write a book without an ending.

story, and then he would leave, and the young man left disappointed. In the second month after the traveler came to this country, that is, when the traveler finished writing the story and was about to leave, there was an earth-shaking loud noise that shocked the whole country.

The country, the tower fell."

Su Wanxia's eyelids jumped when she heard this, because he could almost imagine what a doomsday scene would be like when such a tall tower collapsed.

"When the tower fell, the earth was shocked. Countless men, women, old people, children, chickens, and dogs died in this country. It was dark and there was no light... But what surprised the travelers even more was that, When everything calmed down, people were cheering, and the king even proudly said that we can build another tower in a new place. At that time, the travelers understood that the only purpose of this tower was to be built and fell down. It is the meaning of life for all the citizens of this country. It was built, fell down, and was built again. In short, the tower must exist." The story is basically finished here. Su Che drank tea and smiled: "This is the first time I have seen it. I thought this story was ridiculous when I was reading it, but after I finished laughing, I felt a chill running down my spine..."

Su Wanxia didn't have so many complicated thoughts. He just felt that it was stupid to do so. He also felt a little bit sad and a lot of surprise at the cheers of the people.

"How many people live like this in this world now? How many people are building towers?" Su Che sighed softly: "I hope you return to the family, partly because when you grow up, you should After returning home, the other half is that the Su family needs a successor, and after my death, it needs a reliable person to take the helm."

When Su Wanxia heard this, her heart trembled. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh. It felt like a commoner emperor was suddenly recalled to the palace to inherit the country and the country.

No one seemed to care about Su Wanxia's feelings at all.

But Su Wanxia is no longer the self-centered person she was ten years ago. Especially in the days before her mother passed away, she looked at her pale mother and listened to her say over and over again: "Your father is a pitiful man. He is almost against the whole world, but no one can help him... I could have stayed, but he gave me a reason that I couldn't refuse... I want to watch you grow up healthily... As long as Unfortunately, I don’t seem to be doing well..."

During those days, Su Wanxia shed tears almost every day. He stayed by her mother's bedside without eating or drinking, until she passed away and until she was laid to rest.

"I think...it's good to continue in the current state." Su Wanxia expressed her thoughts.

Su Che was slightly startled: "You don't want to go home?"

Su Wanxia smiled bitterly: "I think, from the first day I left home and every day after that, I wanted to go home... But now I find that if I can protect this home better by not going home, then I won't Go home."

Su Che glanced at his son silently after hearing this, and he nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay."

…

After bidding farewell to her father, Su Wanxia quietly returned to her temporary residence and began to prepare for her trip to Tibet. Just like Su Che went to Tibet alone for interviews, Su Wanxia didn't bring much with her, not even a ticket to go back. Prepare in advance. Because he doesn't know how long this trip will take and whether he can come back safely.

Over the years, Su Wanxia has been living a very aggrieved life. On the one hand, it is her mother's restraint, and on the other hand, Su Wanxia herself knows that it is very dangerous outside. Once his whereabouts are exposed, he may be killed.

When she arrived in Lhasa, Su Wanxia felt dizzy as soon as she got off the plane.

His heart trembled at that time, and he thought to himself: No way? Altitude sickness?

Just when Su Wanxia subconsciously wanted to grab something, a girl who was much thinner than him came over to support him, took out a bottle of medicine, unscrewed it, poured one pill and stuffed it into Su Wanxia's mouth.

When that cold little hand came into contact with Su Wanxia's lips, Su Wanxia subconsciously thought that someone was trying to harm him.

But when he saw the girl's appearance clearly, he was stunned.

Then he blurted out the word "Mom" and shouted out.

The girl was also stunned, and then said with a smile: "Hey, wake up, big man, and take the medicine. You will adapt to this place soon."

Su Wanxia did as she was told.

The effect of the drug was surprisingly good. Su Wanxia, ​​who was about to faint one second, became lively and energetic again the next second. Looking at the girl's retreating back, Su Wanxia hurriedly chased after her: "Hey, wait a minute.

"

The girl did not stop, but continued to move forward with a mysterious smile.

Su Wanxia followed closely until she reached the station entrance before catching up.

She is clearly a very thin girl. With Su Wanxia's pace, let alone running, she should be able to catch up quickly as long as she strides forward. However, the fact is that this girl can walk much faster than he imagined.

.

"Hey! Hey!!" Su Wanxia finally stopped the girl.

The girl frowned and said displeasedly: "Who is calling you? You have been chasing after me. I thought you were going to block the road and rob you."

Su Wanxia was quite embarrassed. He gasped for air, and then smiled and said, "No, you didn't tell me your name. I can't just watch my savior walk away like that."

"Me? My name is Xue Jianian." The girl said her name generously.

"Xue Jianian?" Su Wanxia was stunned.

Xue Jianian asked back: "Do you know me?"

Su Wanxia shook her head blankly, but the girl looked a bit like Su Wanxia's deceased mother, and... their surnames were also the same.

So Su Wanxia couldn't help but think, could it be that there was a certain destiny, and this girl was arranged by my mother to be by my side?

What Su Wanxia, ​​who was so musing, didn't notice was that the girl was already wary of him.

"Hey, what about you? What's your name? Big guy."

"My name is Su... Su... Su Su." Su Wanxia was about to say her real name, but then she thought about it and said a fake name.

The result immediately aroused the girl's disgust: "Hey!! You are a grown man named Susu? Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Su Wanxia was indeed embarrassed. His mind was spinning just now, and he actually came up with such a strange name.

"I don't want to either, but this is the name my father gave me, so I can only accept it."

"Well, it seems that uncle wants a girl." Xue Jianian teased.

Su Wanxia chuckled: "Maybe."

"Well, that's ok. I have a character that is ready to help when encountering difficulties. Besides, it's just an emergency medicine to treat altitude sickness. It's not worth much. Just say thank you and we'll be clear." Xue Jianian didn't seem to be interested.

I don’t plan to have too much interaction with Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia also felt that she was a little reckless. He actually wanted to chat with Xue Jianian again, but that would indeed seem strange, so he nodded, bowed sincerely and said, "Well! Thank you!"

Xue Jianian was startled: "Hey! What are you doing! Bow to me in public! Everyone is watching! Oh, it's true! Okay, okay! I still have things to do, so I won't invite you to dinner.

,Bye-Bye."

After saying that, Xue Jia Nian slipped away like the wind.

Su Wanxia was left standing alone. He kept looking at Xue Jianian's leaving figure, subconsciously touched the jade ring on his left hand, and then smiled at the corners of his lips: "Mom, I seem to be in love."

…

After coming out of Lhasa Airport, Su Wanxia took the unmanned shuttle bus directly to the Potala Palace.

Although the transportation is now extremely convenient, it is the first time for Su Wanxia to travel alone. Of course, she must first take a look at the surface buildings of Lhasa.

There are many tourists taking photos outside the Potala Palace.

Su Wanxia came alone. Although the equipment on her body allowed him to take 360-degree shots in various poses without blind spots, he just stared at the Potala Palace and felt the gift that Songtsen Gampo gave to the ruler.

The miracle of the princess and Princess Wencheng.

In Tibet, every scene on the plateau will make people look up to it.

And this magnificent building that has stood for nearly five hundred years has undoubtedly added a dazzling brilliance to the overall image of mankind.

After staring at the Potala Palace for more than an hour, Su Wanxia had no intention of going in to pay homage immediately. In fact, personally, he did not have any clear beliefs, so he had no intention of turning around those things that had been lost in the long river of time.

I don’t know how many people have touched the prayer tube. Su Wanxia decided to find a place to live first, then have something to eat, and then prepared to find the whereabouts of her aunt on her own.

Finding a hotel is no longer a complicated matter in this era. Especially after the launch of Sinan 2, many big cities have already built a complete information network structure. As long as you search according to your needs, there is nothing you can't find.

.However……

A few hours later, Su Wanxia found that all the hotels near the Potala Palace were fully booked, and the only one she could go to was a B&B.

It seemed that the medicine had worn off, and Su Wanxia was really tired. He wanted to lie down and have a good sleep before talking about it in the morning.

When she arrived at the B&B, Su Wanxia discovered that the owner of the B&B was not a local, but from Jiangsu.

He was very enthusiastic, and even warmly invited him to have a free meal after learning that Su Wanxia's ancestral home was Shandong. After eating and drinking, Su Wanxia fell on the bed and fell asleep.

When Su Wanxia woke up the next day, she found that the door was open.

He scratched his head and went out to ask his boss: "Am I drunk yesterday? Why was the door open?"

The boss looked at Su Wanxia in surprise and said: "Hey? Wasn't that girl your girlfriend just now? I saw she took your ID card and let her in... Oops! It's broken! I'm afraid I met a thief!

"

Su Wanxia was stunned: "Ah?"

The two hurried to the room. Sure enough...Su Wanxia's bag and suitcase were gone.

The boss probably felt very sorry, so he immediately comforted Su Wanxia and said that he would bear all the losses, and called the police at the same time. Su Wanxia was also speechless. On her first day here, she encountered someone stealing things in broad daylight?

Speaking of which, how could his identity document fall into the hands of that thief?

The police came soon.
To be continued...
