Chapter 112: Memories of Lester the Vampire (Part II)
However, Duan constantly knew that in Lester's recollections, the fundamental reason why his father and brothers did not let him become a pastor in the church was that the family did not have the money for him to pursue a Christian career. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was not possible to promote him to bishop or cardinal in order to benefit from their title, so he had to live like an illiterate or a beggar. Every day he hunted in the forest, played chess with his marquisal father, and then married a woman from the village, and his life was like this under his father's arrangement, and there was no creativity at all.
At that time, Lester was like a walking corpse, he didn't want to escape from this place all the time, and finally one day the opportunity came, and that day in their village, an Italian troupe came, and this troupe performed an old comedy for them, and Lester was deeply attracted by this energetic comedy.
At the end of the show, Lester followed the troupe to the inn where they were staying, bringing with him the wine he could hardly afford, just to be able to talk to the comedians.
Lester had a great conversation with the comedians, and after they got drunk, he told Lester that he had a talent for the role of the heroine's lover, and Lester was very happy at this time, and he felt that he had found his purpose in life, that he had found a way, a way to escape from this cage.
The next morning, Lester took his clothes and hid in the troupe's car, thinking that this was his life and that he would become the most famous comedian in Italy.
But now that he was going to another town with the troupe, Lester felt like he had never been smarter and sharper than he had ever been when he appeared, and he spoke to the audience until the other actors pulled him off the stage.
But, indisputably, the show was a great success, and that night the heroine, who played Leicester's lover, came to give him an unforgettable night, and he fell asleep in the arms of this actress.
Lester fantasized in his dreams that he would perform in Paris, for the Queen and King Louis, but these were only his dreams after all.
When he woke up the next day, the whole troupe had left, and all the actors had disappeared, except for his eldest brother Augustine standing by his side, and Lester didn't know what was going on at that time.
But he can make a guess, although he is not afraid to speculate on others with the worst malice, but the facts are not too different from his guess, it is nothing more than that the troupe has accepted bribes, or out of fear, betrayed their young friend.
Duan kept guessing that it was probably the latter, but no matter what the facts were, it didn't make sense, and Lester was eventually brought back to the castle, and his actions this time were simply unforgivable for the whole family, and the actor had no status at that time.
Not to mention the fact that he had to put foundation on his face, perform with the bum-like comedians, and show up in the town for a few bucks, and he was once again beaten up without question.
This time, Lester cursed everyone hatefully, ignoring his mother, who had tears in her eyes next to him, and turned away, but his mother finally found him, bought him a shotgun and a mare with a precious jewel, and she disobeyed Lester's father's request to stop beating and confining him.
is such a mother, she can't be said to be careless about his child, it can be said that she has done her best, so Duan has respect for this woman, not because he is Lester now.
In Duan Ji's heart, all mothers in the world are worthy of respect, because they have made too many comebacks for their children, but they have not asked for anything in return.
At this time, Lester's mother sat down on the straw mat on the bed, her face haggard at this time, because she had been coughing all winter, and her poor physical condition had exhausted her, but it could not hide her peculiar femininity.
Her cheeks are rosy and delicate, her chin is well-defined, and she has clear blue eyes and long, gray-white eyelashes that make her look quite small.
And when Duan kept seeing this woman, he could clearly feel that Lester, the original owner of his body, had completely inherited her mother's appearance, but looked more coarse than his mother, which was due to the fact that Lester was a man.
To a certain extent, men's facial features are generally more wild than women's, but it is not excluded that some pseudo-mothers and other species may look like a girl and a man.
The woman looked at Duan and said, "I know you hate them, they don't understand what you did, this is undoubtedly very sad. ”
Duan didn't say anything, just looked at the woman silently, didn't agree with her speculation, and didn't refute it, because it meant nothing to him, and there was only one thing he wanted to know now, that is, what tricks Poe wanted to play this time, and what kind of strange events he would experience this time.
However, Duan's constant silence made the woman think that her child agreed with her speculation, so she continued: "I know how you feel, because I have also experienced this kind of loneliness, when I gave birth to my first child, which is your eldest brother. ”
"After I gave birth to your eldest brother, I did not allow anyone to approach me, because this is the child I have experienced the pain of loneliness, born in helpless circumstances, and how can other people understand my feelings."
"Hmm!"
Duan continued to listen to this woman's story, and still only replied lightly, his intuition told him what he should have to do at this time, but the truth was that he didn't know what he should do, because this woman was not his real mother, so he didn't know how to communicate with her, this may be another type of generation gap!
This is the generation gap between two generations in different spaces and at different times, and this invisible generation gap is much more serious than the generation gap between children and parents in his time, which leads to the current Duan constantly at a loss, and can only nod his head blankly.
Lester's mother looked at her child, and he thought that this incident had dealt too much damage to her child, so she sighed: "I have not much time left, I can survive next spring, maybe I can survive another summer, but I will definitely not survive the next winter." ”
"Ahem......!"
Just after this woman finished saying this, she suddenly coughed violently, Duan could see that her lungs were in pain, and he didn't expect that this middle-aged woman would be so sick that he was not really Lester, but now he was also impressed by the greatness of this mother.
"Mother!"
Duan kept opening his mouth to shout, he felt that he should call this mother, because this is a woman's expectation for her child, no matter what the truth is, he can't let this woman leave with regret, at least this regret can't come from himself, from her child.
"No need to say anything!"
She stopped what Duan Chuan wanted to say next, comforting words, but Duan Constant still comforted: "Don't think too much, this may just be an illusion ...... yours!" ”
"I didn't think too much about it!"
Lester's mother interrupted again, Duan kept preparing to speak, raised his hand and said: "I never think about it, I know my current physical condition very well, the only thing that makes me uneasy is that if I leave you must be ready to live on your own, it should be more difficult than you think." ”
Duan kept trying to say something, but the words stopped again, he didn't know what he should say to this woman, did he want to say directly to this poor mother: "I'm not your son, I'm just an outsider, and I have the power that ordinary people don't have, you don't have to worry about how I will live." ”
But is this possible?
The answer was no, so Duan Zheng could only sit on the straw mat of the bed in a daze, he didn't even know when this short-lived mother left. (To be continued.) )
