Chapter 56: Snowy Night

After learning all about the family and friends of the warrior commander Gurdjief.

After Gejieff meets him, what to do next, Zhou Ming has no idea in his heart.

Is it to tell Gurdjieff the truth and help him get revenge?

Or did he choose to hide the truth, like Defoe, and make up a lie that his wife and daughter were completely missing or dead, and persuade him to leave this sad place and start a new life?

In both ways, Zhou Ming slightly leaned towards the latter.

Revenge is very simple, take a knife and cut the enemy when you see it, and if a few people fail him, kill a few people, and kill until the psychological balance is balanced.

But......

Even if revenge is taken, how much can the stimulation and blow of these things to Gurdjieff be alleviated?

Can he be healed of the injuries he has suffered?

What if he killed all the traitors?

Zhou Ming believes that the moment Ge Jiefu learns the truth, even if he doesn't go crazy and doesn't collapse on the spot, this kind of injury will completely change his entire appearance.

He may have changed his mood drastically, abandoned his original goodness and virtue, and degenerated from an angel to a devil.

It is possible to despise life and easily go to extremes.

In short, anything is possible.

And the possibility of going bad is very high.

The Gergeff at that time will not be the Gergerfe at all now.

So......

Zhou Ming didn't want him to suffer that kind of blow and avoid him being hurt like that...... Use deception to maintain his current appearance.

But......

The development of things will not go according to Zhou Ming's vision.

The more he tries to hide the truth, the easier it is for people to see the loopholes.

……

Half a month later.

Through the griffon mount of the Continental Chamber of Commerce, Gurdjief and the warrior Fitz arrived at the city of Rumby.

Gurdjieff climbed off the back of the griffin and saw Zhou Ming waiting under the landing platform...... The two sides successfully rendezvous.

After finding a hotel and settling down, and after some unnutritious small talk, Gurdjieff asked Defoe the two questions he was most concerned about: "Defoe, have you found any news about my wife?"

"How are my daughters, Sophia and Nicola, have you found them?"

Gurdjieff's face was a little anxious, nearly two years have passed, although he has been pretending to be calm, but once he returns to the kingdom of Kadon, his heart is all on his favorite family members.

"Uh......"

Defoe's face became hesitant, a little unable to speak.

"What's the matter, you know what, hurry up. Gurdjieff asked.

"Warrior Commander, I don't want to tell you about this, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, your wife, and two daughters, they ...... All of them unfortunately passed away. ”

Defoe cried as he spoke, and knelt in front of him with his legs bent: "I'm sorry Captain Warrior, I want to tell you the good news about them, I hope to be able to protect them when they are in danger, as long as your family can join the group, Defoe and I will not be sorry to pay this life." ”

"But, I'm late, I'm too late, Madame and Miss, they've been dead for a long time!"

Rumble~

The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Gerjeff's body shook violently.

He shook his head repeatedly: "How is this possible, how is this possible? Before the war began, I wrote a letter to Count Jacobby, asking him to help take care of my family, and he vowed to take care of Natia and them, even if the nobles took his life...... Didn't Jacobby keep his promise? My wife and daughter, just like that?"

His eyes were full of disbelief.

Hearing his self-talk, Zhou Ming on the side shook his head.

How is it that at this time, Gerjeff has not noticed the slightest problem?

Is his IQ too low, or those who deceive him too high, and directly hang him.

Thinking of the reality directly, those about the messy derailment of entertainment stars, Zhou Ming has to admit a fact: honest people are easier to lose.

Especially honest people who are single-minded, value their families, and give wholeheartedly are often miserable.

Is Gurdjieff an honest man?

Zhou Ming shook his head.

Gurdjieff is not an honest person who is biased towards "derogatory", he is just more "pure".

Pure to the point of his love for his wife, his trust in his friends, without the slightest impurity, without a trace of doubt.

He believes that there is kindness, love and trust in this world, because he himself does it according to these guidelines, and the true affection he gives will definitely be exchanged for sincerity.

But......

He underestimated the meanness of human nature, the ugliness of morality, and the lower limits of conscience.

In the eyes of the most selfish, he is an idiot and a wreck.

Wanting to get their "sincerity" is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

And the biggest mistake Gurdjieff made was that he looked at this filthy world too beautifully.

Defoe began to explain: "Madame died by suicide, and when she heard that you had been defeated and disappeared from battle, she did not eat or drink for seven days and seven nights, and washed her face with tears every day, and finally she drank poisoned wine and died in order to defend your heroic honor and to avoid being defiled by the nobles who wanted to possess her. ”

"Sophia and Nicola were taken away by a faithful servant (so-and-so), but this year there was a very severe famine in the kingdom, many people had no food to eat, the faithful servant (so-and-so) starved to death, and Sophia and Nicola, who were in charge of each person, also starved to death in the famine, and their bodies were not found. ”

"Warrior Chief, it's useless to blame me, I didn't protect them!"

As he spoke, the warrior Defoe began to weep bitterly again.

Gergerf's head drooped.

As if losing a pillar, the body became limp and crumbling.

Before I set out for the expedition, I told you that you would wait for me at home, and you ......."

Two tears slipped from the corners of Gurdjieff's eyes, and this man, who had never cried a few times in his life, thought of a helpless sad child at the moment.

Zhou Ming stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder twice, sighing: "I can't accept these news, but people can't be resurrected after death...... Please mourn and be submissive. ”

Gurdjieff didn't speak, he found a chair to back on, and lay down weakly.

……

The next day.

Seeing that Gurdjief was in a trance and listless, Zhou Ming said to him: "Come with me to the Kingdom of Adude, follow me in the future, and I will ensure your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life." ”

Gurdjieff nodded feebly.

But then he asked, "May I ask where the graves of my wife and daughters are, and I want to see them one last time." ”

"Good. ”

Yesterday, Zhou Ming told him that the bones of his wife were reburied by Difu, and the two daughters were also put on separate graves...... It's right near Gerdjieff's own castle.

That morning, the group went to Gurdjieff's house, a ruined and low castle, to pay respects to his wife and daughter.

Standing in front of three tombstones, from silent mourning to kneeling to mourning and weeping, Gurdjieff did not find any problems...... In the past half a month, Zhou Ming has worked hard, and even spent money to buy off a group of nearby villagers, so that when they "passed by" from the side, they had no intention of "discussing".

The topic was nothing more than how strong Lady Natia was, how miserable Mr. Gurdjieff was, how sympathetic the family's plight was, and so on.

In short, Zhou Ming's bureau seems to have no problem personally.

As long as Gurdjieff doesn't dig deeper and chooses to leave this sad place, the people and things in this land will no longer hurt him.

After the sacrifice was completed, and he returned to the inn in the afternoon, Gurdjief nodded and agreed, and early tomorrow morning, he would board the griffon's mount and go to the kingdom of Adud.

But that night, when the sky began to snow heavily, Zhou Ming, who was a little uneasy, knocked on Gurdjieff's door.

"Knock knock~"

After a few knocks, no one responded.

Zhou Ming, who felt a little bad, quickly broke the door and rushed in directly.

Deng Shi was dumbfounded.

The man is gone.

……

To the west of the city of Rumby, there is a beautiful lake.

Because the lake resembles a full moon, it is called "Moon Lake".

On the edge of the beautiful Moon Lake, a beautiful castle was built, called "Moon Lake Castle".

This is the castle where Count Jacobby lived, and along with that Moon Lake, and the ten miles of land around the castle, all belonged to his fiefdom.

In the aristocratic circle of the Kingdom of Kadon, the status and influence of Count Jacobby can be ranked in the top ten.

He was so capable that he had recently been reappointed by the king as vice-chancellor of the court, and he had many supporters on the side of the nobility.

As a rising star, seeing the beautiful woman standing in front of the window watching the snow, and then seeing a pair of lovely sleeping daughters on the bed, Count Jacobby, who had just finished handling the official business at hand, showed a happy smile and felt that this life was enough.

Got up and stretched, and suddenly found his wife looking out the window with a sad and depressed expression, and Jacobby felt a little strange.

Stepping forward and wrapping his arms around his wife, Jacobby asked with concern, "What's wrong, my love, don't you seem to be very happy?"

Natia shook her head, and two tears fell: "Honey, I've been feeling so worried lately, I can't sleep. ”

"What are you worried about?"

"I ...... I'm worried that Gerjeff will come back. ”

"Gurdjieff?"

Jacobby smiled and shook his head: "He can't come back, it's likely that he's dead, and even if he's not dead, he's a waste." ”

"But...... I'm still scared, I feel like I'm sorry for him. ”

Her husband's comfort had no effect, and Natia was still worried.

"We didn't feel sorry for him!"

Jacobby emphasized: "He can't give you the love you want, I can! He is physically disabled, he can't have a child, he can't let you be a mother, I can! Only I can! He's a waste, a waste that everyone hates!"

"Our two babies, but they called him dad for a few years!"

"It's disgusting to think about!"

"My love, don't be sad and blame yourself, we are not wrong, there is not the slightest mistake, the fault is wrong, that waste has a treasure that does not belong to him. ”

"Now, this treasure has the right place to belong...... That's me!"

Jacobby held Natia's perfect face and kissed it affectionately.

Take off your coat with your hands...... He was ready to "comfort" his wife.

"Ahh

There was a roar in my ears!

The two of them were startled and turned to look at the door.

Den froze.

A bald man with clenched fists, facial muscles twitching violently, eyes wide and red, and a broken right arm, stood at the door at some point.

Judging from some unfamiliar but quite familiar faces, this person has disappeared for almost two years...... Jeff Gergef.
