Chapter 151: The Shadow of the Snake
Tang Sen said a name, and Xu Lin was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I know." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" His tone was complicated, and it should be a pain that ordinary people could not understand to learn that he was betrayed by a comrade-in-arms who could entrust him to his back, after all, being stabbed in the back is either the most incompetent shame or the most unbearable pain.
"I want to know what kind of price a person like me is worth in his heart. He knew that he had to believe it, but he still couldn't understand why he wanted to betray this person, and was there anything else that could tempt him to get his price? Before that, he never dared to believe it, and he never thought that one day, he would be betrayed by his comrades-in-arms, and that person would be him.
“…… This matter is actually none of his business, and he also has unspeakable bitterness. It was hard for Townsend himself to imagine that one day he would speak for him.
"Unspeakable suffering? Hehe, I don't know, what unspeakable hardship he has that can make him betray me. Xu Lin's heart is obviously not as calm as it appeared on his face, just imagine, when you suddenly find that you have been stripped of your skin by others, and all this is because your comrades betrayed you, who will feel better.
“…… You're not him, you can't understand...... Third Brother Xu, no matter what, please believe that he doesn't really want to betray you, he doesn't know that you are here with me, and for him, all this is helpless...... I shouldn't have spoken to him, but I just put aside my relationship with him and said a fair word that I didn't really want. Tang Sen actually couldn't understand why he wanted to excuse him, even if he was misunderstood by Xu Lin, what did it have to do with him? But he still said it, and even lowered his posture and softened his tone for him, after all, he was a blood relative, why bother!
“…… You mean, he didn't know you were threatening me with that?"
"Yes. ”
Xu Lin's face softened slightly, if he was unaware, it could only be regarded as a leak of the inhuman trust, although this was a big mistake in the Northern Blade, and it may even be a military court, but it didn't matter to him, and even, he had to intercede for him, because he didn't betray, they were still brothers in life and death.
"Can you still contact him now?"
Tang Sen shook his head, "I couldn't contact him at all, and he came to see me when he passed by me before, after all, I have been in Russia for more than two years, and for him, I can almost be considered lost." When he said this, Tang Sen's expression also softened a little, presumably remembering the day when the man came.
“…… Are you relatives?" Xu Lin was not a person who would listen to other people's secrets, in fact, except for finding out the news during the mission, he was in a state of ignoring what was going on outside the window, but now, he was desperate to find a reason for him.
“…… If we say that we are relatives, we are probably the relatives who are the least like relatives. Tang Sen's tone was very complicated, but after so many years, he also needed someone to listen to, and the entanglement that had been squeezed in his heart for many years also needed an outlet, "In terms of blood relationship, he is my eldest brother, the eldest half-brother, but in fact, in so many years, I have said no more than a hundred words to him, isn't it sad?"
Hearing this, Xu Lin actually regretted listening to these things, because when he heard the words half-father, he could already imagine that it would be an out-and-out tragedy, and his last sentence made him not want to listen to it anymore.
But once it starts, it ends casually, and Townsend continued, "Actually, the first time I saw him was when I was six years old, and when he was eleven years old, that was the first time he came to my house, and perhaps for him, this can only be called coming to my house, and not the word 'home', because he lives in my house, and even the next person is not as good as my subordinates." Only I know that he doesn't want to come to the Tang family at all, and he is not like those people say, coveting the property and identity of the Tang family, he is actually for his mother, and I hate him because of his mother. ”
Tang Sen told about his past with that person little by little, and in Xu Lin's ears, he only felt sad.
Xu Lin is an orphan, and since he can remember, he has longed for family affection. When he grew up, he went to the orphanage, and he wanted to know if he was abandoned by his parents, or if his parents had an accident and were thrown into the orphanage, but by the time he returned to the orphanage, the director had died, and the original aunts were gone. Later, he asked the sunspots in the North Blade to hack into their computers and find out the information about the orphanage. Therefore, when he had a rare holiday, he had to rush back, looking for the truth of the year little by little.
In fact, so many years have passed, and he has become the dragon and phoenix among people, the best among the Chinese soldiers, and he is full of military merit medals, which makes people feel daunting as long as they glance at it. But he was still unwilling, the truth of the year was like a Pandora's box, beckoning him to open it, but while he stretched out his hand, he also had a stealing heart, for fear that the truth was what he had always feared.
Many people think that he is indestructible, he is tough enough, yes, he is what people say is a tough guy, he has steel and iron bones, he is not afraid of shells, not afraid of knives and guns, even if he has a hole in his body, he is only regarded as being bitten by a bigger insect, only the heart is the only flesh and blood flaw in the steel body, but this is the only flaw, so that every time he finds a relationship with the person, his heart is uncontrollable and beating, and when he finds a little truth of the year but can't uncover the mystery, his heart can't stop being disappointed and relaxed。
For so many years, he had been making a fool of himself.
In fact, what he is most afraid of hearing are "blood" and "relatives" These words, every time he heard a word, it was like countless steel needles passing through his heart over and over again, his breathing suddenly became sluggish, he didn't dare to listen, he didn't dare to look, only he knew, the smile on his face was always just a performance and a mask, for so many years, his heart was like an incomparably heavy stone, he could only keep acting, and today, listening to Tang Sen keep talking about the things between him and that person, he felt like the scar on his heart was being uncovered little by little, with a trace of blood sticking, which made him give birth to an unspeakable fear, as if his secret was no longer hidden in front of others, although it was not his story。
"If you are from the capital, you will probably have heard that ten years ago, the Tang family blocked all information about that incident overnight, and all the newspapers that tried to disclose this matter were empty, because this incident was a scar that could not be mentioned for the entire Tang family.
Fourteen years ago, when I was six and he was eleven, I was so happy when he first came to my house that I had another older brother. At home, I was the youngest...... I didn't lie to you about this, I was indeed the third oldest in the family, and the two older brothers above me were very used to me, so I was really happy when I learned that I had another brother, even if he was my half-brother.
For four years, we were all doing well, or rather, I was doing well because he really took care of me, exactly as I imagined. But when I was 10 years old, everything changed. His mom killed my mom, and then I watched her wipe her neck in front of everyone, and after that, I never called him brother again.
It's not so much that I hate him, it's that I don't know what to do with him.
He has always taken good care of me, from childhood to adulthood. When he first came to my house, it was as cold as a piece of ice, and everywhere revealed the smell of no one to enter, but I was the only one, pestering him every day, running behind his ass, like a little heel worm. Later, he started talking to me, and he started to smile on his face, and although his relationship with other people was still so stiff, he was willing to bow to his father for my sake...... After all these years, I think he is probably still the same as he was at the beginning, just as cold. Tang Sen smiled, looked at Xu Lin and nodded, his smile became even bigger, "I know, how can a person like him be willing to change, let alone in the Tang family, in the army, even if he cuts thousands of knives every day, he will still not say a word if he doesn't want to say a word, and he will bite to death if he doesn't want to tell you." ”
Xu Lin lost his usual smile and hearty smile on his face, and became extremely calm. He was really tired, he didn't want to act anymore, listening to Townsend and his story, the wound that was uncovered, gradually bleeding pus, but it was a harbinger of imminent healing.
He just listened, listened to Townsend say, and he wasn't just listening, he was thinking about his own story. He's not Townworthy, he won't tell anyone else, but he'll say it to himself over and over again.
"Ten years ago, overnight, we all felt that the world had changed, it had become scary, it had become cold, it had become what it was yesterday. He didn't know anything about it before I did, and I knew that no matter how indifferent he was, he couldn't have been premeditated as my father said, because if he had premeditated, he wouldn't have done so much for me.
The tiger poison does not eat the child, but the father forced his own son to give his stepmother a funeral, just to appease the anger of his mother's family. In fact, the Tang family has achieved the ultimate in the family, and in the entire capital, the Tang family can be ranked in the top three, I am afraid that only the Gu family and the Yan family can compete with the Tang family. But even so, in the father's heart, the life and death of his own son are not as good as a pile of paper in a warehouse.
It's just that I don't understand him at the age of ten, I only know that my father is my father, so my father is right. At that time, in the entire Tang family, only the second brother, who had always been silent, stood up to speak for him, even the eldest brother I had always admired, and he didn't say a word.
It wasn't until I grew up that I realized what my father had to say about them. At the beginning, my father said that the eldest brother was calm, the second brother was straightforward, and I was lazy, only him, full of backbones. In my father's eyes, the eldest brother can do one position after another, can grasp the course for the family, the second brother is the most capable, he can do all the things he wants to do, including letting his father let him go, I am lazy by nature, I don't want to do anything, my biggest wish is to open a coffee shop and live by my shop. And he is really a backbone, his father wants him to die, broke his leg, but he wants to survive, his father wants him to starve to death on the street, but he is as tenacious as a wild dog, and then he was forced to have no choice, to become a soldier, my father concluded that people like him will die on the battlefield soon, but no, he has lived until now, although I think, he may be as glorious as you.
In the middle of the night last night, without alarming anyone, he climbed into my room through the window, and after a few seconds of eye contact with me, he wanted to turn around and leave.
In fact, after two years in Russia, I also grew up a lot, at the beginning, I believed my father's words, and together with him, kicked him out of the house, and even left him to fend for himself outside, but only when he was about to die of fever and burn, I fed him a mouthful of water and two pills. But just for this saliva and two pills, he secretly took care of me for six whole years.
I don't know if he took care of my brother or if he was just sorry, and I didn't dare to ask. It wasn't until yesterday that I finally stopped him and asked him to speak. At that time, he was just looking at me, with the light on his back, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. But I clearly felt his repression, he was suppressing his excitement, his shoulders were shaking, and it was then that I realized how much he cared about me as a brother, and I realized how childish all the things I had done over the years.
Third Brother Xu, when I saw your reaction when I heard my first sentence, I knew that you also have a hurdle in your heart, a hurdle that you can't overcome...... I can't help you anything, I can only tell you that life always has to look forward, the past is over after all, no matter how persistent you are, those who have become the past will never appear in your future again, the important thing is to see that there are some people around you, what kind of mood is loving you. ”
Townsend had already made a set, waiting for the one with the black fist to drill in, and when the fish was not yet hooked, all they had to do was wait, and what was best for them to do was still wait.
I don't know when, Tang Sen has already left, and Xu Lin is still standing in place and not moving.
At this moment, he felt like a mess in his head, and he couldn't figure it out. Tang Sen is free and easy, even if it is a little late, he can see all this clearly, but he still can't let go, and he doesn't know how to figure it out.
On the battlefield, he has always been resolute, he wants to do it, even now, he said that if he enters the black boxing, he will enter the black boxing, and he will cooperate with Tang Sen if he cooperates with Tang Sen, and he will not drag the mud and water at all, but only this matter, as Tang Sen said, this is a hurdle in his heart that cannot be passed, he has been walking for 20 years, but he has never been able to step over.
