Chapter 167: There's a Child
Putting aside all the doubts for the time being, Lin Yue planned to see what was written in it first, in case it was not the last page of the "Engraved Scripture", then many doubts would not be doubts, but he didn't want to have more doubts because of new things.
After taking it out, Lin Yue opened the paper and found that he wrote it with a waterproof ink, which also made him slightly relieved, the waterproof ink is a modern product, and it is definitely not something that can be used by Zhou Lao's grandfather's generation, so it was not written by Zhou Lao's grandfather, that is to say, it is not the last page of "Engraved Scriptures", so who should write it?
With doubts, Lin Yue read the words above.
"A long time ago, there was a child who was adopted by a kind family since he was a child, and for as long as he can remember, the family has been raised as his own child, and he has never been prejudiced by adoption. This child also regarded his benefactor as his biological parents and lived a carefree life since he was a child.
He also has a younger brother at home, and the two are like brothers, giving each other any good things.
The two often imagine their future together, the child has no ideals, he just wants to honor his parents for a lifetime, because he knows by chance that he is not biological, so he wants to repay the favor, and he cherishes this family affection even more.
His younger brother wanted to be a great sculptor because his family was a family of carvers. When the child heard this, he secretly vowed to help his brother realize his dream, no matter how difficult it was, and he also vowed not to let his brother suffer a little. He was only six years old that year......
When he was eight years old, the child's father began to ask them to learn some basic methods of carving, but it was different from his father's, but a very novel carving method, using only a knife, and later he learned that this was a very magical carving method "Carving Sutra" handed down by his grandfather.
But the book was so difficult to learn that it took him and his brother three years from the age of ten to make no progress, so his father told them to give up and forbade them to continue studying, and it was from then on that his father began to teach him how to carver.
The child and the younger brother were very disappointed, although they were young, but they all knew that the "Carved Sutra" was a very powerful carving technique, they wanted to learn, but there was no chance.
When the child saw the reluctance in his brother's eyes when his father took the "Carved Sutra" from their hands, he thought of the vow he had made back then.
Be sure to help your brother realize his dream of becoming a great sculptor......
But what can he do?
He didn't know.
He was thirteen years old that year, and he still remembered his childhood dream, knowing that the "Carved Scripture" could make his younger brother a great sculptor. But when dreams and reality conflicted, he didn't know what to do for a while.
In between practicing ordinary carving, he could always see the fantasy in his brother's eyes.
He knew that his younger brother would think about the book "Carved Scripture" and his dreams.
Why is he not, when his father took back the "Engraved Sutra", he clearly saw a deep sigh and disappointment in his father's eyes.
He didn't want to disappoint his father, never wanted to, he wanted his father to be happy, always happy, and proud of him and his brother.
But he didn't, and he saw the disappointment in his father's eyes.
His father's disappointment, and the vows he made when he was six years old, had been swirling in his mind.
Perhaps his father was no longer disappointed, and he was proud of the talent he and his brother had shown in ordinary carving, or perhaps his younger brother was not so eager for the "Carved Sutra", but all this was a thorn in his heart.
He wants to be perfect, he wants to make everything perfect, he doesn't want to see the displeasure of his loved ones.
Finally, one day at the age of fourteen, he entered his ancestral shrine and stole the "Carved Sutra......
He originally wanted to secretly copy a copy to his younger brother, but before he could finish copying it, his father had already discovered the loss of the "Engraved Scripture", so he was furious and finally vomited blood in anger.
He originally stood up and admitted that he had stolen the "Carved Sutra", but he was afraid, afraid that his father would not want him and would expel him from the house, and if this was the case, he would be worse than dead.
So, he chose to remain silent.
Looking at his father on the hospital bed and the undried blood on the ground, his heart was like a knife.
He hated to kill himself, and he kept asking himself why he did it? Why?
But he couldn't give himself an answer, because he knew that there was no right or wrong answer, and maybe he had always been wrong.
I didn't want to disappoint my father, but I made my father vomit blood and became seriously ill......
This made his heart twisted greatly, and by the time he knew it was twisted, it was too late.
Maybe he secretly sent the "Engraved Scripture" back, and what happened later might not happen, but his heart was already twisted, and he didn't expect to send it back.
He has a strong desire in his heart, he wants to practice the "Carved Scripture"!
He wants to make his father happy with his grades!
He wants to practice the "Carving Sutra" first and then teach it to his younger brother, so that he can become a master of carving!
He wants to make up for everything he has done, and he believes that he can make up for everything he has done by learning the "Carved Sutra"!
So in the following year, during the day, he desperately learned carving with his father, so that his father could see his efforts, and at night he found a place where no one was around, and he practiced "carving" desperately, sleeping only five hours a day......
But the truth is not as he imagined, a year has passed, he has failed, and he has not even touched the threshold of the magical carving shown in the "Carved Sutra".
Failure, constant failure, or failure......
Twisted, twisted......
In the end, his heart was very twisted, and he made a decision that ordinary people could not understand, he wanted to leave this family, because in this family he did not have time to practice the "Carving Sutra", because in this family he would face his father and younger brother every day, and every time he faced him, his heart was like a knife.
So he's leaving!
A year ago, he was afraid to leave this home and did not take the initiative to admit that he had stolen the "Carved Sutra", but a year later he was leaving this home. At this time, he had completely lost his mind, and there was only one thing in his mind, and that was to practice the legendary carving technique on the "Carving Sutra"!
None of this was supposed to happen, but when he reflected it, it was too late, too late......
When he was fifteen years old, he saw his younger brother being bullied, and immediately picked up a brick and slapped the other party in a pool of blood, if it wasn't for his younger brother holding him, he might have killed the other party!
He will not let go of anyone who dares to bully his brother!
Later, the person was hospitalized, and his father asked him to apologize, and he felt that he was right, and everyone who bullied his brother deserved to die, so he refused to apologize!
Later, he had a quarrel with his father, then ran away from home, cutting off all contact......
This also fulfilled his wish to run away from home.
After leaving home, he helped people do odd jobs during the day to earn some living expenses, and at night he borrowed the lights outside other people's houses to practice carving.
