Chapter 251: Looking at the Starry Sky and Recounting the Past
Seeing Zhou Yunbai crying as he spoke, Bai Li Feng could imagine how sad his heart was. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.
A six-year-old child, who should have enjoyed a carefree childhood, has suffered such a big change, how can he not be unforgettable, how can he not be grief-stricken?
Baili Feng sighed slightly, raised his hand and patted Zhou Yunbai's shoulder, but did not speak.
All he could say was comforting words, but what about those words now?
It can't change anything, and it can't comfort Zhou Yunbai's grief.
Zhou Yunbai didn't seem to feel Baili Feng's hand falling on his shoulder, he just wiped away the tears on his face and continued.
The man in black cursed a few words, and then he left, and did not find me hiding under the bed, so I kept being afraid, and did not crawl out from under the bed until dawn. β
"The moment I crawled out, I was completely frightened, and the ground was covered with blood, drop by drop, stretching from the foot of the bed to the outside of the house. β
"I looked over to the bed in horror, and I saw my mother lying quietly on the bed, ragged and disheveled, and she ...... She was ......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yunbai's expression became a little resentful, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke, and tears couldn't stop falling.
Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Bai Li Feng could think of what kind of scene it was.
He couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and secretly scolded those thieves for not being human, and they did such things that were inferior to beasts.
Zhou Yun was sobbed a few times, raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then continued, "There is a deep wound on my mother's chest, which has shed a lot of blood, which is terrible. β
"I was so frightened that I ran out screaming. β
And then ...... I see it...... The courtyard was full of dead people, lying on the ground, blood flowing, and the picture was terrifying......"
"Among them were my father, my uncle, and my cousin...... But they were all dead, and no matter how much I cried, they didn't react at all......"
"I was so scared that I ran out of the house crying and screaming, and I didn't dare to look back ......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yunbai's tone became slightly calmer, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then poured himself another glass of wine, raised his head to look at the starry sky, and drank it by himself.
Bai Li Feng sat next to him, but did not speak.
At this time, it is better to let Zhou Yunbai be quiet by himself, and it is superfluous for others to say anything.
Zhou Yunbai took a sip of the wine, as if he wanted to let the alcohol full of sorrow take away all his worries.
He was silent for a while, then sighed, looked at the starry sky, and said, "Mother told me that when people die, they will become stars in the sky and continue to guard the people they love. β
"For so many years, every night I have been looking for the stars that represent my family. β
"But as I grew older, I gradually understood that the idea that anyone will become a star after death is a lie. β
"But I knew these things, but I couldn't believe them, so I always wanted to look at the stars, but at the same time I was afraid to look at the stars. β
At this point, Zhou Yunbai couldn't help laughing at himself, turned his head to look at Baili Feng, and said, "You say, isn't this quite contradictory?"
Baili Feng was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Everyone's experience is different, and everyone's thoughts are different, but no matter what everyone does or how he does it, it is his own will, whether it is right or wrong in the eyes of the world, at least in his own opinion." β
"You asked me if it was a contradiction, I don't know, from your words, I can guess that in fact, your heart is very entangled. β
"On the one hand, you miss your family, and on the other hand, you are afraid to face the past, which makes you not know what to do. β
"Actually, if you want me to say, you don't need to be like this, just like an old housekeeper of my family once said to me, whether you face it or not, it has become a fact, it is there, it has no right to choose, only you can choose, is it brave to face it, or cowardly to hide?"
Bai Li Feng's words fell, and Zhou Yunbai fell silent.
He lowered his head and carefully thought about what Bai Li Feng said, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he thought.
After a moment, he looked at Baili Feng and said, "Do you want to hear about the rest of the story?"
"If you want to say it, just say it. Bai Li Feng said.
Zhou Yunbai pondered for a moment, and then drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand in one gulp.
He smacked his lips and continued, "I ran out in fear, and I don't know how far I had gone, but I suddenly felt dizzy and fainted, and when I woke up, I was already in a small village outside the city. β
"The man who brought me back to the village was an old man, who was very kind, but he was alone, his wife died many years ago, and he had no heirs. β
"The old man was very good to me, like his own grandson, after I knew that the affairs of the family had already been taken care of, I agreed to live with him, he treated me like a grandson, and I treated him like a grandfather. β
"The old man is kind, never argues with others, and is respected by many people in the village. β
"Life is like this, although I have no money, but I will not be hungry, and with the company of the old man, my thoughts about my parents have gradually faded, and I have started my new life. β
"Gradually, I got older and older, and when I was eighteen, my old man's health was not as good as before. β
"One day when I went back, I saw the old man talking to the two uncles and aunts in the village, as if they were discussing something, I was curious, so I went over and asked a few questions, and the old man told me that he was talking to me about family affairs. β
Speaking of this, Zhou Yunbai couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, as if he couldn't laugh or cry at what he said the old man had done.
The old man told me that he was very old and that he might not have a few years to live, so he thought that he would be able to see his grandson marry in his lifetime. β
When I heard this, I didn't know what it was like, so in order not to disappoint the old man, I went to meet the person I kissed. β
"That girl's name is Xiao Tao, and she is a very famous filial daughter in the village, who is both filial and diligent, and her appearance is also good. β
"I met her and got to know each other a little bit, and we both had a good impression of each other. β
"That's it, my relationship with Xiao Tao is scheduled for the beginning of spring after the New Year. β
Zhou Yunbai said slowly, and at this point, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted a smile, and he seemed to be very happy.
But the gaze in his eyes looked a little regretful, and when he said the name Xiao Tao, his face also showed a look of nostalgia.
Baili Feng looked at him, did not speak, and quietly listened to him continue.
"I still remember that after hearing these things, the old man was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night, and as a result, he fell ill the next day, and in order to treat him, he borrowed money from the villagers. β
"When I was cured, I worked hard to make money, paid back all the money I borrowed, and at the same time took the opportunity to save some money for the bride price. β
"In the spring after the year, for the sake of my family affair with Xiao Tao, the people in the village helped a lot, and every family sent blessings. β
"I was so happy that I thought I would be able to stay with the people I loved for the rest of my life. β
"But I didn't expect it to be the day I got married......"
Zhou Yunbai's voice changed rapidly, from sweet and warm to angry and hateful, and the tone of his voice became gritted teeth.
