Chapter 9: The Truth Behind the Mudslide
"If Dad is still here, how can we have such a hard time, how can Grandpa be tired and sick, and how can this kind of thing happen?" Ruan Lili's tone was very painful, Qian Qian and I couldn't have anything to do with the dead Uncle Niu at all, Ruan Lili glanced at the two of us mockingly: "You think I'm unreasonable, right?" It's not right to attribute all the sins to Zhao Daniu, right? Although she thought so, she was embarrassed to say it directly, but Sissi was very embarrassed, she was stunned and said, "Yes, although he is a little immoral, this should not have much to do with your family's poverty, right?" Besides, even if he made too many mistakes and saved your grandfather's life, you shouldn't hold on to his mistakes in the past! That's ...... too."
"You want to say I have no conscience?" Ruan Lili snorted coldly: "Yes, my conscience was eaten by that damn dog man and woman fifteen years ago!" Without waiting for us to speak, she said, "I haven't told my grandfather because I don't want him to be hit, and our grandchildren are going to live in the village, so even if we say it, what can we do?" The Zhao family is a big family in the village, and there are many relatives and friends, do you still expect them to call the shots for us? At most, we can mediate and compensate, but in the end, our grandparents will be blamed, so I have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, just hoping that life can be better. ”
"What happened fifteen years ago?" The more I listened, the more I felt that something was wrong, fifteen years ago, it didn't seem to be so simple, otherwise Ruan Lili wouldn't have hated it for so many years, so I asked her straight to the point, Ruan Lili said: "The people in the village all know that my father died because of the mudslide eruption and didn't have time to rescue, but they don't know ............" said her voice became very resentful: "My father and he could have survived, but that pair of sluts !! They didn't save them when they saw death, they obviously saw my dad buried in the mud, as long as one of them still had a little conscience, as long as there was a little bit of it, my dad could survive, but they, in order to hide their little, were afraid that my dad would survive and trouble them, so they turned a blind eye and watched my dad being buried in the mudslide and suffocating to death!! Do you think I should hate him?? Should I hate him?? The more she talked, the more resentful she became, the more excited she became, and I saw that her face was flushed, for fear that she would be excited and pouted again.
"But grandpa......" Ruan Lili's tears flowed down again: "He didn't know anything, after his father died, he just thought it was a natural disaster, after the woman left, Zhao Daniu came to my house every day to help this gang and that, but he had a good reputation, but I am not rare, who rarely asks him to help, if my father is still alive, if he is still alive............" Ruan Lili cried so much that she was about to faint, I quickly stroked her back and let her breathe.
Knowing the inside story many years ago, although I still feel that Ruan Lili is a little extreme, but her hatred is not without reason, if it is myself, I can't guarantee that I don't hate, but I never think that Zhao Daniu is a human being, otherwise when he encounters a disaster, why should he care about the old father and son, if he only cares about his own escape, no one will say anything about him, after all, when people are in danger, it is instinct to protect themselves, I think between him and Ruan's mother, it was just a momentary misstep, and later Ruan's father found out that the adultery between the two, So he panicked, so he didn't dare to face it, which caused the death of Ruan's father, and he has been helping Ruan Lili's house later, maybe he is guilty!
Because of this guilt, he fought for his life and wanted to save Old Man Ruan, maybe he always thought that Ruan's father was dead, and he was mainly responsible, so he saved Old Man Ruan's life, which can be regarded as seeking benevolence, but this is just my analysis, although the truth may be the case, but I think Ruan Lili can't listen to it, so I don't have to bother with that tongue.
"Oh yes!" Sissi's focus is always different from mine: "How do you know so clearly?" ”
"Because of me at that time" Ruan Lili said quietly: "Hide and seek with my friends, just hiding in the mountains, that day was like today, it was raining heavily, and it was very sunny at the beginning, so I found a small hole to hide inside, and then none of them found me, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, it was already raining heavily, and the mudslide also broke out, and I was lucky, that area only moved down a little, and it didn't move, but I didn't dare to move or make a sound, because as soon as I moved, the hole had a tendency to collapse." , I saw with my own eyes, I saw with my own eyes the pair of dog men and women, panicked down from the mountain, met the father who was buried by the mudslide, the expression of the father at that time, I will never forget it in my life, that kind of disbelief, that kind of despair and pain, I will never forget!! I will never forgive them, even if he saved Grandpa, but that's what he should do, because of him, I lost my father and Grandpa lost his son. ”
"Alas!" I didn't know what to say, so I had to sigh, I don't know who I sighed for, Ruan Lili suddenly wiped away her tears, smiled at us and said: "This matter, in my heart for fifteen years, has been pressing my heart heavy and uncomfortable, now that I say it, I feel much more comfortable, the whole person is very relaxed, thank you for being willing to listen to my nagging!" ”
"It's okay, it's better to say it!" I also smiled and walked back with her: "Let's go back first, otherwise Old Man Ruan will be worried!" Ruan Lili hesitated for a while, but still hummed, nodded, and suddenly said to me again: "I told you before, can you not tell others?" ”
"I understand!" I hurriedly assured that it had been so long since the matter had passed, and if it came out again, there was no point in anything other than destroying the harmony in the village, not to mention that the party had already died, Ruan Lili showed a relieved smile, and I gave Qian Qian a warning look, she quickly covered her mouth and nodded desperately, signaling that she would never say it!
On the way back, we met a girl who was not from the village at first glance, she was very beautiful and fashionable, but her face was so gloomy that it was going to rain, and she pedaled to the back mountain.
