Chapter 445
That night, Sjepan couldn't sleep anyway. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sad news of the death of his parents hit him hard after all, perhaps because of this heavy blow, some parts of the past memories slowly surfaced, and he finally remembered his mother's graceful posture on the ballet stage, and remembered his father's way of smoking a pipe and reading the newspaper......
Grief swept Sjepan away in an instant.
Why is he always losing? Lost home, lost loved ones, lost parents, lost memories, and lost the qualifications to stay in Daqing......
Why is that?
Sjepan lay quietly on the bed, motionless, waiting for the tears to slowly dry in the corners of his eyes.
Don't stay here anymore, he suddenly thought, in a few days, when Shi Suo's mood calmed down, he went to tell him, and said that he wanted to go back to Moscow...... Or Vladivostok. He left from there, and now, having lost everything, he goes back.
From zero to zero.
Stone Lock would probably be reluctant to give him up, but Sjepan knew that he really couldn't stay here anymore, he still couldn't regain his familiarity with Stone Lock, he couldn't feel a sense of affection for the person in front of him who claimed to be his cousin, he only felt guilty and uneasy in the face of Stone Lock, and he almost called him "Mr. Shi" several times, Sjepan knew that he should call him by his name, but he couldn't call him out.
All this is like acting for him, he is holding it all the time, carefully considering his lines, for fear that if he says something wrong, Shi Suo will find that something is wrong.
It's so tiring.
Let's go back to Russia, Sjepan thought to himself.
After making up his mind, Sjepan felt that his chest was empty, if he returned to Russia, then he would be farther away from the Qing Dynasty, right?
There was no way to go back.
What would Brother Nine think if he knew that he had returned to Russia? Sjepan suddenly wondered, could he be upset?
Sjepan knew that Brother Nine wanted him to go there with him, and he had already learned from Brother Ten's angry complaints that Brother Nine had prepared for him.
He remembered that on the day he left, he went to see Yinzhen for the last time, and Yinzhen said a word, he said, Sjiepan, you and Lao Jiu have no fate after all.
Who am I destined for? Sjepan laughed at himself that he was a lonely ghost, and that he would be alone for the rest of his life.
The next day, Sjepan found an opportunity to express his thoughts to Stone Lock.
Shi Suo was stunned: "You want to go back to Russia?" ”
Sjepan nodded, "I can't live with you all the time......"
Shi Suo hurriedly said: "What's wrong with living here with me!" It's not like I can't feed you! ”
Sjepan laughed: "It's not about the money. I think...... Go back and see. After all, I've been away from home for so many years. I don't go back, it's not very decent. ”
Shi Suo had no choice but to nod: "That's right." So be it, next month, I'll go back with you, anyway, my side of the matter will be over next month. ”
Sjepan didn't expect him to follow, he was troubled in his heart, but his face didn't show it, he only smiled: "What are you doing with it?" When I go back to my home, are you still afraid that I will not be lost? ”
Shi Suo frowned slightly: "Cousin, are you annoying me?" ”
Sjepan was startled and quickly shook his head: "How come! Don't guess! ”
"Well, there's something to hide from me." Shi Suo said slowly, "Is it related to Yongzheng?" ”
Sjepan was even more panicked, and he hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with the emperor!" I've already left the Qing Dynasty, and I have nothing to do with that side at all! ”
Shi Suo was angry and funny: "You are still calling him the emperor, is this 'nothing to do at all'?" ”
Si Jiepan hesitated for a moment before saying: "For me, the emperor is the emperor, the prince of heaven and earth, and it cannot be changed at any time. ”
Shi Suo looked at him, and he didn't know whether to be sarcastic or sympathetic: "Feudal thinking is really harmful, you are a foreigner, what loyalty do you serve to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
When he said this, Sjepan's face became even more ugly.
Shi Suo also knew that he was overtalking, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it for going back to Russia." You don't have to worry. ”
During this time, although Shi Suo's wife went abroad to buy and buy because of the arrival of Sjepan, the children were still here, two boys and one girl, the boy was older, seven years old and five years old, and the girl was still very young, just able to walk, and was taken care of by the nanny.
Sjepan was bored because he stayed in the house every day and had nowhere to go, so he slowly became close to the children. At first, both boys were very reserved, because the stone lock asked them to call Sjepan "uncle", and one of the boys looked hesitant, opened his mouth a little slower, and was hit on the head by the stone lock.
Later, Sjepan learned that the children's real uncle, Shi Suo's half-brother, was killed by Shi Suo because of the failure of the plot. The children have been taught by their parents since they were young, thinking that the uncle is a bad person, and they don't want to die one of them, and another one comes, and they are still blonde foreigners.
But slowly, the children were not afraid of Stepan, they spoke to Stepan in Russian, the Russian language was taught by Stone Lock, and there was no Russian here except their father, and now with Stepan speaking the same thing to them, the two boys were very happy.
Stepan didn't ask why he forced the children to learn Russian, he knew it was a way for Stonelock to remember his mother, and he even saw a picture of Stonelock's mother in Stonelock's bedroom, but unfortunately, Stepan didn't remember the lady at all.
Idle is also idle, Sjepan taught two boys to write calligraphy, which Shi Suo agrees with, he thinks that children should learn some Chinese culture.
"I thought I should let my cousin teach them to read some ancient books, such as the Book of Filial Piety or something. Anyway, you have been in the Qing Dynasty for so long. Shi Suo said seriously, "But when I think about it, isn't it as hypocritical as the boss of the company letting employees accept the idea of dedication?" So forget about filial piety or something, alas, I pretended to be a filial son and grandson in front of my father every day, and in the end, didn't I deceive him into a lot of meat? Simply, you can teach them calligraphy, that is not tired. ”
So Sjepan began teaching the two boys how to learn words.
Children are children after all, they are very happy at the beginning, and they can't sit still after a long time, six or seven years old, it is the stage of playing, write a few words and run around in the yard, Sjepan does not restrain them, the boys go outside to play, and the very little girl follows the nanny to find her brother.
On this day the little girl staggered over again, and Sjepan took her to his knees and listened to her babble something that did not make sense.
Of course, I won't have children, Si Jiepan thought secretly, but it doesn't look easy to raise children, Yinzhen, Yinxiang, and Ten Elder Brothers, all of them are worried about their children, except for the Ninth Elder Brother, only he has raised a smart and mature Hongxuan......
Just thinking about it, Shi Suo's eldest son ran in, and when he saw his sister grabbing his calligraphy sticker, and the cover was torn off in half, he couldn't help but be furious: "Don't touch my things!" ”
The boy snatched the notebook from his sister's hand, and the little doll was suddenly taken away from the things in his hand, and he cried wow, and Sjepan panicked: "Alyosha, don't scare your sister!" ”
The boy was not convinced and poked his sister's nose: "It was originally her fault!" Still crying! Still crying! I'll tell Daddy to beat you later! ”
The little girl cried even more fiercely, and the little fat arm waved vigorously to fight back against her brother, and whoever wanted to stretch out her little hand knocked over the inkstone on the table.
Alyosha cried out: "Troublemaker! You see! What to do now! ”
The room was in a mess, Shi Suo pushed the door in when he heard the sound, he frowned and looked, "What's going on?" ”
I saw the little fat girl crying a handful of snot and tears, Sjepan's shirt was full of ink, and the inkstone smashed on the plush carpet, and the little boy turned blue with fright when he saw his father come in.
Sjepan hurriedly laughed: "It's me who is not good, I didn't hold the child steadily, and I knocked over the inkstone." ”
Shi Suo sighed, walked over and reached out to pick up his daughter: "Go and change your clothes." ”
Half of Sjepan's sleeves were covered with ink, and the black liquid dripped down his arm onto the carpet, and he subconsciously rolled up his sleeves twice, and felt inappropriate, so he quickly put it down.
"Don't clean it up." Shi Suo stopped him, "Go take a shower and change clothes, I'll call a maid here." ”
Sjepan went back to the bedroom, he went into the bathroom, took off his ink-ticking shirt, the weather was already warm, and the stone lock room was even warmer, so he wore a shirt on him.
Turning on the faucet, Sjepan rinsed off the ink, his mind up and down.
Just now, he unconsciously made a very careless move: roll up his sleeves.
Ever since he came to Shi Suo's house, Sjepan has repeatedly told himself not to roll up his sleeves, because he has long whip marks on both of his arms.
He forgot for a moment just now, and rolled up his sleeves so as not to stain the carpet, but he immediately woke up and hurriedly put it down again.
…… But I don't know if the stone lock noticed it.
Probably not, right? Sjepan thought to himself, especially since his arms were covered in black ink, and he was moving so fast.
He sighed. Bury your body in a fine column of steaming water.
If he had changed before, in Daqing, he would definitely not be so lax. Sjepan is good at observing words and feelings, can detect mistakes from clues, and is usually extremely vigilant, and will not easily expose his shortcomings......
But after coming here for more than half a month, he unconsciously relaxed his vigilance with the kindness of the stone lock every day.
That's right, he was already guilty, he couldn't use Shi Suo as a political enemy, right?
Nervously taking a shower, Sjepan dried himself and came out of the bathroom, he pulled out a clean shirt from the cupboard, and was about to put it on, when suddenly, it didn't feel quite right!
Sjepan turned his head suddenly, and Stone Lock stood quietly in the doorway!
In the room, it was as if the air had suddenly frozen!
A second later, Sjepan suddenly reacted! He hurriedly put his shirt on his body!
However, it was already too late.
Shi Suo stood there, looking at him quietly, and then, he whispered, "Can you explain?" ”
Sjepan's hand tugging at the sleeve of his shirt slowly drooped.
"Not what you think." He whispered, "Actually, I ......."
His mind was so jumbled that he couldn't even come up with a slick excuse right away.
Stone Lock walked slowly, and he walked behind Sjepan and reached out to lift the white shirt that was covering it.
"Whiplashes, iron scorching, knife cuts and burning, even the nails were pulled out three ......"
Sjepan looked at his cousin in horror as he watched Shi Suo's face fade from snow-white to pale and pale.
"I'm also the one who licks the blood from the knife, cousin, do you think all this can hide from my eyes?"
Sjepan stared blankly at Shi Suo, his heart was beating rapidly in his chest, for a long time, he could only say in a dumb voice: "It's not what you think, it's really ......"
"Okay, then tell me how it is."
Sjepan couldn't answer him.
Shi Suo nodded: "If you don't want to say, I'll ask Yongzheng." If you become like this, he must be the culprit! ”
"It's really not the emperor's responsibility!" Sjepan was in a hurry, he took a step forward, "Mr. Shi, don't blame him......"
He said a word, and it was too late to take it back.
Shi Suo stared at him in astonishment: "You just ...... Call me what? ”
Sjepan squirmed his lips hard, and he felt that the muscles around him were becoming stiff little by little, hard as rocks!
For a long time, he opened his mouth and said weakly: "...... I'm sorry. ”
After all, I still can't hide it. Sjepan suddenly thought sadly, he had spent so much effort to disguise, but he still couldn't disguise it anymore.
"I have amnesia." He said, trying to squeeze out a smile, "But it's not just about you, Mr. Shi, I've forgotten everything in the past." Include...... My parents. ”
Sjepan saw that when the voice of "Mr. Shi" came out, Shi Suo's strange face seemed to have been hit hard like he had never been before!
"What do you mean...... What does it mean to forget it all? Like a dream, he asked softly, "What happened when we were young, what happened when I returned to China later, so many things...... Have you forgotten? ”
Sjepan buried his head, he couldn't bear to look at Shi Suo's red eyes anymore, nor could he bear to look at his slightly trembling face.
"I'm sorry ......"
Then, he heard Stone Lock sobbing in a low voice.
"How is this possible?" He put his head in his hands and muttered, "How could you have forgotten?" So what are you...... So what's the matter with me? I've worked so hard for so many years and so much effort to get you back, and as a result, you don't even remember who I am! ”
Sjepan hurriedly said, "I'm trying to think about it! I try to think about it every day! But I just can't remember......"
He didn't say any more, and he saw Stone Lock slowly bend down, crouch on the ground, and start crying.
Sjepan stood there motionless, he didn't know what to do, if he had gone as usual, he might have stepped forward and patted Stone Lock on the shoulder, but at the moment he knew that no matter how much he tried to comfort him, it was useless.
For a long time, Shi Suo held on to the door, slowly stood up, and he walked out quietly with his back bent.
Sjepan's heart was like a knife, but he didn't go out, and he sat down in front of the bed.
I don't know how long later, Sjepan suddenly heard the sound of the door locking, and he was stunned, and suddenly raised his head.
Someone is locking him, and they're going to lock him in this room!
Sjepan's mind went blank for two seconds, and suddenly he realized, he flew over, banging on the door desperately!
"Stone locks! What do you want! Feed! Don't do anything stupid! ”
Outside the door, Shi Suo's cold voice came: "Cousin, you have to stay at home for the past two days, I want to go to the Qing Dynasty and settle accounts with Yongzheng!" (To be continued.) )
