Chapter 53: Regret Medicine
Liu Yonghan was furious, like a clown who was teased, and was actually played with by two children. The spiritual world he had just built collapsed, those beautiful yearnings and the sacrifices of the past became ethereal, and an intellectual who had received a materialist education had more than once attributed the result to God's punishment.
He had wanted to go to that haunting place countless times, and the woman he loved for the first time must have been married to a woman because of his treachery. He regretted, blamed himself and even harmed himself, thinking that sincere love could withstand the wind and rain no matter how difficult the environment and how difficult the years, but the depressed "Scar Liu" was destroyed by the ruthless hands of the years and was already scarred.
He squatted on the dock, the noisy city had nothing to do with him, the rushing Yangtze River had nothing to do with him, and the two lovely children in the warehouse had nothing to do with him.
Sixteen years ago, as an intellectual youth who went to the countryside, he went to a place called the "Majiazui Brigade", ending the road to university that he had just stepped into the palace of knowledge. His consolation could only be found in those few books that were quietly hidden, in the poems he had written and then burned, and in the beautiful singing of a girl named Ma Lanhua......
Seventeen-year-old Ma Lanhua is just like his name, green and elegant, blue and faint fragrance, and the seeds of love take root and sprout in that small village...... The feelings that sprouted made the two young people forget the hardships of the "revolution", but the impulsive ** also allowed them to break through the worldly confinement. In the straw pile of the brigade, the two people lingered and merged again and again, forgetting the stars in the sky and the cool autumn breeze......
Soon, the bad news came from Jiangyun, Liu Yonghan's parents were beaten as "capitalist roaders", and unfortunately they were both criticized to death, and his sister couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide by jumping into the river. Love has become insignificant in the face of family affection at this time, Liu Yonghan has become a "negative man", he has to return to Jiangyun, thousands of miles away, as a filial son to collect the corpse for his family. After a simple meal, the claws of the "revolutionary" once again reached out to this lonely "little capitalist roader", who survived year after year of humiliation and resentment, watching his home turn into ruins, and from ruins to bustling docks. He never wanted to leave here again, a qiē resentment and anger have become bamboo sticks grinding on his shoulders and backs, a qiē grief and wailing have become a rushing river, a numb heart has swallowed up all ideals, and the cruel reality has defeated the former mountain alliance and sea oath.
One day, he tilted his head and scolded the swear words to usher in the "rehabilitation", he thought of asking the girl in Majiazui, the image in his mind changed from vague to clear, the feeling in his heart changed from pain to remorse, tears rolled in like the water of the Yangtze River, as a son failed to fulfill his filial piety and failed to send it to the end, as a younger brother failed to appease and even could not find his sister's body, as a lover failed to wait and even lost the courage to love - a complete bastard and a loser became his self-label.
The news of Ma Lanhua came from Majiazui, and the "unruly" orchid was pregnant with a child of educated youth, and married an old widower in the brigade next door with tears. Only then did Liu Yonghan know that Orchid was already pregnant with her own child when he left, but she already had her own family, although it may be a very unhappy "magic cave", but what else, how good can she be under her tattered bridge hole? He didn't have the face to go to that place again, but he suddenly felt that he wasn't alone, just in that familiar place, there was a child of his own!
Yes, Liu Yonghan suddenly stood up, I still have a child of my own, not Liu Fushun, it is just a lie made up by Yang Guiying! Liu Yonghan straightened out his new blue cloth uniform, threw the scarf he had worn in the morning into the river, and staggered towards that destination in his own shadow......
--------
Fushun hadn't heard his godfather swear for a long time, and he had never heard him scold girls, let alone Sister Gui Ying. Fu Shun sat restlessly, thinking about the conversation he had just had with his godfather, and knocked on the door of the maid's house next door that had no latch.
Gui Ying hadn't turned off the lights and went to bed yet, happily sitting on the bed and tidying up the new clothes she had just changed, it seemed that Liu Yonghan had not come. She saw Fu Shun coming, stretched out her head and asked, "Fu Shun, I haven't slept yet, it's so late, what's the matter?" ”
"Sister Gui Ying, come down, let me ask you something!"
"You ask, it's not like I can't hear it, what are you going to do when you come down!"
"Did you see the godfather?"
"No, not in the bed outside?"
"No. Sister Gui Ying, let me ask you, did you tell him where we came from? ”
"I ...... Didn't I tell me? ”
"Then did you make up a place called Majiazui?"
Gui Ying was stunned, her brain exploded, and the light bulb above her head turned into stars. "Fushun, I'...... I didn't! Gui Ying said, even she didn't know how she had gotten out of bed.
"Then you told him that we are from Ma Jiazui?"
"I didn't!" Gui Ying had already cried, "It was he who said it, he said that you are like his son, and he said that he had a son in Majiazui, so I answered in accordance with it!" Fushun, I'm sorry, I've been hiding from you, I really hope you are his son, he is your father, and you live together! ”
Yang Guiying said truthfully. A few months ago, just as Liu Yonghan knew that Ma Lanhua was pregnant and married, Fushun broke into his life, and it was so coincidental, Liu Fushun, who looked like him, was simply a copy of his youth, introverted, rational, and studious...... He thought it was meant to happen.
Before Fushun moved to Xiaoqiaodong, one day Liu Yonghan and his good brother Zhang Haikui drank under the bridge, and for the first time told people about the affectionate past when he knew it...... Gui Ying happened to overhear this conversation and remembered the two names Ma Jiazui and Ma Lanhua - she really hoped that Fushun would find a home, a home where she would no longer suffer and suffer!
A few days later, Liu Yonghan and her had a family affair, mixed with the joy of "Scar Liu" "not to admit himself", Yang Guiying substituted herself into the mountain village, and said that the muddy ditch was Ma Jiazui, and the father and mother who died in the muddy ditch were Ma Lanhua and the old widower. Liu Yonghan's pain was awakened again, and Gui Ying looked at the infatuated man crying bitterly for the first time, and almost told the truth, but for the sake of Fushun, for the sake of him and Fushun's "future", Gui Ying swallowed the words on his lips hard. Liu Yonghan quickly made a decision to bring Fushun to his side, and spent his life to compensate for his dead mother, to love this poor son, and he was even willing to find the other two children born to the old widower that Gui Ying said and raise them as his own children.
"Yang Guiying, are you having something wrong with your braincase!" It was the first time that Fushun spoke to Gui Ying so angrily. Together with Liu Yonghan's previous drunken words, the ins and outs of the matter became clear, Yang Guiying is a big liar, poor godfather - no, poor Uncle Liu. After Fu Shun finished speaking, he went out, and he wanted to find that great benefactor as much as possible.
Gui Ying grabbed Fu Shun, her face was already full of tears, "Fu Shun, don't leave me, I'll pack up my things, and we'll run away together!" ”
"Yang Guiying, are you really sick with your brain? Why are you running away, I'm going to get him back! Fu Shun didn't even glance at Gui Ying.
"Fushun, don't go, you listen to me, let's go, get out of here, Liu Yonghan is a madman, he knows that I lied to him, he will definitely kill me, he will definitely kill you! Quick, let's get out of here, take a boat, take a car, aren't you looking for your big brother? Gui Ying trembled, hurriedly pulling Fushun and praying for Fushun.
"You are not allowed to go anywhere, we found Uncle Liu, you apologize to her!" Fu Shun took Gui Ying's hand and walked out.
"I'm not going...... I'm not going! Gui Ying squatted on the ground, "Fushun, let's go to Uncle Li's house, Liu Yonghan will definitely come back, and he will definitely kill me!" Gui Ying seemed to have found a savior, and immediately got up and went to bed to clean up her things.
Fu Shun, who calmed down a little, was also exhausted, he really didn't know what to do, and he couldn't understand why this Gui Ying sister, who was willing to give her life to protect him, did this?
"Sister Gui Ying, I know you are for my good, I'm sorry just now. However, you have to believe me, believe Uncle Liu, we apologize to him, he will forgive us, you think he is fierce, in fact, he is not fierce at all, as long as we make it clear, he will not treat us like anything! It's a big deal that we're not going to work at this dock! ”
Gui Ying sat paralyzed on the bed, really wanting to pour herself a bowl of regret medicine. She not only harmed herself, but also harmed her beloved Fushun. All of them are shattered, and it's impossible for them to start over! She looked at this boy who was almost the same size as herself, he had grown up and matured, he could have called for wind and rain on this pier, and he could have moved into the building that Liu Yonghan was renovating soon, but now it is impossible! It's all because of herself, until now, she can only obey Fushun's arrangement, even if Liu Yonghan rushes in with a knife now, it is self-inflicted.
"Sister Gui Ying, don't be afraid, if you feel uncomfortable, just sleep! I'm out looking for him! You don't run around......"
"I'm going to ...... too"
The two children ran all over the dock and several warehouses on the dock, the crescent moon crescent creep quietly climbed the treetops, the bell at the intersection had already struck four times in a row, they searched along the city's roads, and Fushun shouted "godfather" hoarsely! How he wished to find that resolute man in a corner of the city, how he hoped to get his last understanding, how much he hoped that he could stay here and stay with him more......
