258. Goodbye Master and Apprentice (1)
Gao Ran and Zhao Feng slowly led their respective horses all the way to the depths of the Medical Valley, and when they were about to walk to the house in the valley for "foreign" disciples to rest temporarily, Zhao Yi suddenly flew out of nowhere, and jumped in front of the two of them, blocking their way. But he didn't look at Zhao Feng at all, but stared at Gao Ran directly, and said to her with a rare serious face: "Follow me!"
When Gao Ran saw it, he immediately handed over the reins of the young man to Zhao Feng's hand, and briefly explained to him, "You go and settle down first! I'll come later!", and then took a step slower, but followed Zhao Yi, who was already walking in front, and went with him to the dense forest not far away......
"Tell me, why are you here, or are you here with him?!"
"Master, don't be angry! This is a long story...... So, if you can't listen to me calmly and patiently, then it's better for me not to say anything! lest there be a bunch of unnecessary misunderstandings for no reason, and my explanations will sound more like a cover-up to you...... Wouldn't that be more troublesome?!"
Zhao Yi listened to it and felt reasonable, so he deliberately took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood slightly, and then sat on the ground, and motioned for her to sit down and sit beside him with his eyes.
When Gao Ran saw it, he naturally did it with interest.
Then she began to speak slowly......
"It's a long story...... However, if you think about it, you are actually to blame for this, Master!"
"Blame me?"
"Of course I blame you! Don't forget, you never mentioned it to me, it turns out that I have a little uncle who is from the same teacher as you! And when I first met him, I didn't know about his past with you, but I knew his identity...... Then think about it, with my character, I won't be curious about him?—— it's not that you don't know me......"
"Wait, don't you mean that you already know about our past?"
"Of course, otherwise, why do you think he brought me here?
"Humph!"
"Okay, Master, I know all about the things between you now...... But in my opinion, although Uncle Xiao is indeed wrong, you are also at fault!"
"What?!Am I wrong?!Where am I wrong?!Am I wrong!?!!?!!?!!!
"You're wrong, you're wrong, you're using your own ideas to think about Uncle Xiao's personality!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Master, don't you dare to say that you have always thought that if you don't look at you in the same way as you see yourself, you must not understand you?! And Uncle Xiao did that, in your opinion, it is clear that he doesn't understand you, and even betrayed you nakedly/nakedly! Yes and no?!"
After Zhao Yi heard this, he didn't care, but he didn't refute it, but his face became a little bad......
But Gao Ran saw that he was obviously still willing to listen, so he had the courage to say it more explicit than before!
"Master, in my opinion, the contradiction between you is nothing more than this: one of you does not think that you are wrong, but the other feels that the other has not only made a mistake, but also made an absolutely unforgivable mistake!
"But in the eyes of me, the onlooker, it's not as simple as you think!
"What's wrong?"
"You are all too self-righteous! What you really see in your eyes and hearts is only yourself and everything you want to see! You all just think that others should think and do what you think they do! Otherwise, it is the fault of the other party—— it is the fault of the other party!"
"You!"
"Isn't it?!Master, in my opinion, the events of the past—the affairs between you—are not just a sentence that can be explained by who is right and who is wrong......! How so...... In my opinion, Uncle Junior's fault is that he doesn't understand you, that you think of him like that and ask him that way, and that you are also at fault!
"I don't understand him?"
"Well, your so-called understanding is only understanding him in your eyes, but not himself in his eyes!
"If you really understand himself in his eyes, then you can understand why he was so easily instigated by Gao Liwen to do such an unrighteous thing, but he still has no regrets!
"If you really understand him, then you won't blame him anymore! Because, you will know, what you two are really thinking about is actually not the same thing at all—— what you care about is that he doesn't understand you, and it also deeply hurts your expectations and trust in him——!
"He did that to protect his own 'things' in his own way. As for anyone, anything, or anything outside his 'room', no matter what happens to them, in his opinion, it has nothing to do with him—— and this is the relationship between himself in his eyes, and the relationship between himself and everything in this world—— but do you know this?!"
"Huh?" Zhao Yi obviously didn't understand what Gao Ran said later about her description of Zhao Feng.
Gao Ran saw that he was puzzled, so he immediately paused, and then realized that what he was doubting should be the parables she said later. She paused what she was going to say, then turned back to him and patiently explained to him in detail what she had said earlier about what she meant by the somewhat abstract descriptions......
"Oh, I mean, actually, in addition to the deep study of medical drugs, Uncle Xiao has a completely childlike heart for other things! Moreover, he has no intention of letting this part of himself grow up!
"Besides, in his heart, he actually built a 'room' for that 'kid' all along, and he was the only one who could control it absolute......ly!
Zhao Yi saw that Gao Ran suddenly became speechless when he said this, and knew that what she was going to say next was likely to be difficult for him to accept, so he consciously took a few deep breaths again, and only after some adjustment and conscious that he had some psychological preparations, he nodded at her and motioned for her to continue......
When Gao Ran saw it, he nodded at him knowingly, and then his eyes flashed, and he immediately changed to a look of some sympathy for him, and continued in a slightly comforting tone: "However, although you are his own brother, there is too much age difference between you after all! Moreover, you are not half-brothers from a 'normal' family...... Therefore, apart from knowing that you are his own brother, in his eyes, you are actually no essential difference from his other senior brothers! You have more than them, and you are only half of the same blood as him! However, he doesn't care about this! Therefore, from beginning to end, you are at most just a 'senior brother' to him that he still fears a little and will never get close to!
"Don't be too upset, though. I think that's not a good thing for you!
"Do you want to! With Uncle Xiao's current strength, he is actually already above you! But it is because, when he was young, the memory of - you are very strong - has long been deeply imprinted in his heart! So, if there is no accident, I am afraid that he will always look at you as he looked at you in this life as he looked at you when he was young—— he will always fear you for no reason!
"So I think that if there is no accident, if the current valley master dies, then the only person in this world who will make him really afraid will be you!"
When Zhao Yi heard this, he was about to refute something-after all, what Gao Ran said, to him, was not the slightest gratifying! But before he could speak, he was stopped by Gao Ran—— who immediately stopped her: "Eh! Listen to me!" - and even while speaking, she reached out and covered his mouth!
Zhao Yi saw her like that, what else could he say?! Looking at her posture, it was obvious that he didn't plan to let him speak if he didn't finish speaking! Then he would just wait for her to finish before he spoke. - What's more, maybe after listening to her say it all, his state of mind may also change! If so, then what he wants to say now may not be said again. In that case, why not listen to her patiently first?
And Gao Ran saw that Zhao Yi had no resistance, so he knew that he had acquiesced to her to continue speaking, so he let go of the hand covering his mouth with interest. Then he continued: "Master, as I told you just now, in Uncle Xiao's heart, there has always been a child who will never grow up and does not want to grow up. And that child, he will always live only in that 'room' that belongs only to him, and in that 'room', if anything else exists, it is his plaything to him!
"Master...... Actually, in the eyes of the little uncle, she is ...... Oh, and I'm referring to the 'old friend' you told me about...... She...... In the eyes of Uncle Xiao, she has always been the child in his heart, and she has regarded it as a plaything to accompany him since she was a child!"
"What?!"
"Master, calm down! Don't be angry yet!"
"How do you calm me down?!If what you're saying is true, then he's ...... He actually regarded his junior sister as his plaything......?! Then why did he have to put that curse in the first place, causing them both to almost die?!"
"Here's the problem! Master, listen to me first! The biggest difference between you is actually here!
"I dare to say, you have been angry with him for so many years, but in fact, it is all in vain—— because he doesn't understand what you are angry about?!
In his opinion, he will be poisoned, although it is true that Gao Liwen instigated his relationship, but more importantly, he himself has always felt that his uncle and aunt should belong to him as a matter of course! Even if he loses interest in her in the future and no longer likes her, he can't be snatched away by others! He can't tolerate her leaving on her own initiative, or being taken out of his 'room' by others!
"Master, when I say this, can you understand?
"I mean, he just wanted to keep the person he wanted to keep in the way he could—— even though in his eyes it wasn't just a person like him, but just a plaything for him ...... - but something he would never destroy!
"How so...... Uncle Xiao seems to have a strange 'cherishment' for Uncle Shi's mother...... Treating her as a plaything, but not wanting to hurt her, but not being able to tolerate her disappearing from her 'room'......
"Master...... I always feel that Uncle Junior's mentality is no longer something that can be explained by the word 'weird'! I wonder if he has some kind of heart disease? As for Uncle Shi, to him, it is very likely that she is an 'incomplete substitute' for a key person in his heart disease! But it is precisely because he cannot be completely replaced, so even if he treats her specially, he still regards her as a plaything......
When Zhao Yi heard this, his previous qi had almost unconsciously dissipated. At this moment, he was also frowning like Gao Ran, thinking about what she had just said—Zhao Feng might have some kind of "heart disease" that no one knew—or even that he didn't even know about......
