……
In Li Xiangnan's impression, from his childhood to his youth, there was no memory of his father Li Dingguo at all.
As for Li Xiangnan's biological mother, no one has mentioned it, and this person seems to have never appeared.
It can be said that Li Xiangnan was raised by his second uncle since he was a child.
When he was a child, Xiao Xiangnan would always see others loved and doted on by his parents, and he was very envious, but he didn't, like an orphan.
Every time he went home, when he always wanted to ask his second uncle about his parents, the second uncle was always vague and refused to explain the reason to him, but lied to him that his father had gone far away and would take a long time to come back.
When it comes to the term mother, the second uncle did not give any explanation.
But the second uncle couldn't explain it at all, that is, he didn't even have a reason to deceive him, because the second uncle had never seen this woman.
The second uncle only knew that after Li Xiangnan was born, he was hugged back by his father Li Dingguo before the full moon, and Li Dingguo did not give any explanation, always looking very miserable.
When he was a child, Li Xiangnan was looking forward to when his father would come back every day.
It's just that his young waiting and anticipation lasted for a long time, and his father didn't hear anything.
It wasn't until Li Xiangnan began to grow up and become sensible that he learned about his father from the older generation in Guò Village, and his childhood hopes and expectations were completely shattered.
In fact, even the older generation in the village don't know much about his father Li Dingguo.
Because of the famine, Li Dingguo only settled down after fleeing the famine with his younger brother Li Yanguo, who was not very old, and then caught up with the national college entrance examination, Li Dingguo only stayed in Hongshan Village for less than a year, and was admitted to the university, leaving only his younger brother Li Yanguo at home.
In the future, Li Dingguo would return to Hongshan Village to visit his younger brother every holiday, but he came and went in a hurry, and there was not much time for the villagers to get to know him.
Later, the number of times Li Dingguo came back began to decrease, and it was not until he graduated from college that he brought a lot of things back to visit his younger brother Li Yanguo, and Li Dingguo only stayed in Hongshan Village for three days at most, and then left in a hurry again.
And this time I left, it was a full three years.
But three years later, when Li Yanguo signed up for the army and was about to leave the night, Li Dingguo returned to Hongshan Village with a baby less than a month old.
At that time, Li Dingguo seemed to have been greatly hit, his feelings were very low, and he lived a very miserable life every day, and the villagers could see that if it weren't for that child, Li Dingguo would definitely go to find a short-term view.
But just when the baby was one year old and could walk, Li Dingguo suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where he went.
The villagers' memories of him are also fixed on the day before Li Dingguo left, when Li Dingguo looked abnormal, crying and laughing, as if he was crazy, and then disappeared.
At that time, although Li Yanguo had already joined the army, it was just the time for him to go home to visit his relatives, and after Li Dingguo entrusted the child to his younger brother, he disappeared.
And Li Yanguo did not look for his brother at that time, but silently took on the responsibility of raising his young nephew.
When the nephew grew up and asked Li Yanguo about the whereabouts of his eldest brother, Li Yanguo didn't give the child any explanation, but just made up a white lie.
Until Li Xiangnan grew up and became sensible, Li Yanguo never gave any answers, and he didn't even say a word about whether he would blame and complain about his eldest brother's behavior of abandoning his family and children.
And what Li Yanguo told Li Xiangnan the most was to let him stick to his heart, not to be lost by external objects, people and things, and let him live a strong and optimistic life.
Since then, Li Xiangnan has never asked about his father Li Dingguo, and Li Yanguo has never told him what kind of person his father is, so the uncle and nephew have maintained a tacit understanding for 20 years.
From childhood to adulthood, Li Xiangnan's impression of the concept of father has become more and more vague, and the word mother has never existed at all, and the most is a faint hatred for these irresponsible two people.
In his heart, he has long regarded his second uncle Li Yanguo, who raised him, as his dearest and beloved father.
And now, when Li Xiangnan just had a casual conversation with his second uncle, but once again brought out his increasingly vague father, Li Xiangnan was messy.
In the Hidden Fog Mountain near here, there is really a treasure left by the legend of the golden light and the white dragon, and the person who took the treasure is his father, or the second uncle has seen it with his own eyes.
So, what happened to Li Dingguo on the day he left?
Li Xiangnan raised his head and saw that the second uncle's gaze was sometimes very cold, sometimes warm, as if a certain memory had been provoked again.
Soon, the cold gaze was retracted, and after softening a few points, Li Yanguo looked at Li Xiangnan and said: "Xiangnan, I don't have a good evaluation of your father's personality, because in my eyes, he is a good brother, we were in the famine, life and death together, he left me all the food he could eat, he could endure hunger alone, endure torture alone, and protect me regardless of a qiē, if it wasn't for my eldest brother, I would have died a long time ago."
But in your mind, maybe the eldest brother is not a good father, he abandoned you when you were one year old, he is a bastard, he can survive the suffering of that death threat, but he is lost in the foreign object, trapped in it and unable to extricate himself, failed to stick to the torment of his heart, and became a loser, a failed bastard! ”
Li Xiangnan didn't speak, the second uncle mentioned this father's personality, even if he didn't have any feelings for this man, he didn't have any impression, only a faint hatred, but he was the son of that person, and he was not qualified to evaluate.
Now that the second uncle is willing to tell him this, it is estimated that the second uncle feels that the time is ripe, and he does not need to bear those heavy memories silently alone, and he will feel much easier to say it.
Li Yanguo actually reflected for a long time after a conversation with his nephew before.
He knows that his nephew has grown up under his wing, and he no longer needs to escort him, his nephew has matured and is strong, and he has his own ideals in life, and he has his own path to follow, why don't he broaden his path and let him go more smoothly?
When the tacit understanding is flipping over, Li Yanguo can gladly accept his nephew's life plan for the rest of his life, he has smoothed out his weaknesses, and at the same time, he doesn't want to put some heavy burdens on his nephew's back because of himself, what he wants to do is to relieve pressure on the other party, because he has always regarded him as his own son in his heart.
So this time, Li Yanguo will take the initiative to reveal to Li Xiangnan some things that he has buried in his heart for many years.
Because of the tacit understanding between the two sides, Li Yanguo also knew what his nephew was thinking, he just made a one-sentence comment to his eldest brother, and he didn't talk about Li Dingguo's personality anymore, he believed that his nephew had his own judgment in his heart.
What Li Yanguo talked about was an incident that Li Dingguo had personally experienced before he left.
Since Li Dingguo returned to the village, he was very depressed, and when asked the reason, he never refused to say, but complained that he was not strong enough.
But why he longed to be strong, and what exactly gave birth to him, let him be devastated, no one knows.
And once, after Li Dingguo heard the legend of the golden light and the white dragon born a hundred years ago in the Hidden Fog Mountain from the old man in the village, he was like a demon, and without any explanation, he resolutely decided to quietly look for the ruins left in the legend.
Li Yanguo didn't know what kind of method his eldest brother used, and after countless failures without success, he was really lucky to find the key clues.
The night before Li Dingguo left, he came back with something to find his younger brother Li Yanguo and asked his younger brother to do him a favor.
So the two brothers groped their way through the mountains and valleys to find a mysterious ruin in a dark night, and they worked hard for a long time before digging a passage.
And when they entered through that passage, they found the treasure.
But in reality, the treasure was nothing more than a golden dragon head staff, a mysterious compass-shaped thing, and a dragon pattern jade pendant engraved with mysterious words.
At that time, after Li Dingguo got those few things, if he got the treasure, the whole person was like an obsession, and he couldn't extricate himself.
Although Li Yanguo felt that it was unrealistic and persuaded him to live a normal life, Li Dingguo just didn't listen, saying that as long as he unlocked the secret of the dragon pattern jade pendant, he would be able to become stronger.
The next night, Li Yanguo was resentful and helpless, and after persuading him to no avail, he watched his eldest brother lose his heart, abandon the child, and go away with those so-called treasures.
