Chapter 29: The Past (Part II)

One thought of becoming a Buddha, one thought of falling into a demon, life and death are just a thought.

Gaojia Mountain, a famous tourist spot in Anzhou City. The altitude of Gaojia Mountain is not high, it covers a wide area, and has many peaks. In winter, the mountains are covered with clouds and mist, and although there is a different flavor, due to the low temperature in the mountains, few people visit this season. In summer, the peaks of Gaojia Mountain are stacked with green, the scenery is beautiful, and the mountains are cool, which has become a summer resort for many people in Anzhou City.

During the May Day holiday, both primary school students, junior high school students and enterprise workers followed the arrangement of statutory holidays to take a break. As the chairman and general manager of Xie Group, Xie and his wife arranged the employees' holiday plan in advance. During this May Day holiday, many senior executives of Xie's Group asked to work overtime. Most of these high-level executives who require overtime are elites from other places, because they have no vacation plans after the holiday, and want to continue to work to earn some overtime pay. After Mr. and Mrs. Xie sorted out the extra salaries of employees working overtime, they found that they were able to get three days of free time during the May Day holiday. At the suggestion of the employee, the two decided to take their two children outside to play. Since there is a good tourist attraction in Anju City, the two decided to bring their children here. In addition to the beautiful scenery of Gaojia Mountain, there is another important reason why the two chose this place: when Xie's father was still alive, the relevant institutions allowed a wooden house to be built on Gaojia Mountain. Although the land rights of the mountain were transferred to the relevant agencies, the wooden house still exists. After negotiations between Xie's father and the relevant authorities, the two parties decided not to demolish the wooden house, and the ownership of the wooden house still belonged to Xie's father.

"Mount Goga is a tourist attraction and is also a place where mountain people live. The wooden house built by your grandfather is not included in the division of the tourist area, so the relevant authorities allow it not to be demolished. Father Xie pointed to the village below the mountain and continued, "You see, that is the village of Gaoga. Although the village has changed due to reform, the folk customs still exist. With the strong support of the relevant institutions, Gaojia Village has become a non-scenic village that receives tourists. So, the prices in the village of Goga are nowhere near as expensive as in the tourist attractions. During our two days and two nights at the lodge, we would also go to the village of Goga to buy supplies. ”

"Dad, as far as I know, there is more than one village in Mt. Goga. Xie Tianwen was helping Father Xie sort out his belongings.

"It's my son, and I even know this. In addition to the large village of Gaojia Village, there are some small mountain villages scattered in Gaojia Mountain. Hey, Changge, don't stand over there, it's dangerous. Father Xie put down the work in his hand and walked to Xie Changge to pull him back, and then said to Xie Tianwen: "Tianwen, take care of your brother." ”

"I don't want him to care!" Xie Changge kicked Xie Tianwen.

"What are you doing, how can you kick your brother!" Father Xie reprimanded his youngest son.

"It's okay," Xie Tianwen patted his pants and said, "Dad, I'll tidy things up." ”

"Then please. Little rabbit, come here!" Father Xie grabbed the corner of Xie Changge's clothes and picked him up.

"Daddy is a badass, let me go, let me go......"

Xie Changge struggled violently and happened to kick Father Xie's leg. Father Xie let go of his hand to cover his legs, and he couldn't stand up straight in pain.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Dad, I didn't mean to ......" unintentionally, but because the target of the kick was his father, Xie Changge still felt a little guilty.

"Little rabbit, come over to me!" Father Xie straightened up and ordered Xie Changge to come to his side. Xie Changge knew what would happen next, so he didn't dare to move far away.

"Come here!" Father Xie raised his voice. Xie Changge was startled, like a little lamb with his head down, obediently walking towards his angry father.

"Dad, hit it gently......" Xie Changge sobbed, walked in front of Father Xie and turned around consciously, then squatted down and pouted his ass.

Seeing his youngest son so conscious, Father Xie, who was still in pain, didn't want to spank his youngest son's buttocks. But as a father, majesty is still needed. "If I don't punish him a little, he will be even more violent, and in the future he will be so bold as to openly disobey me. Thinking like this, Father Xie grabbed Xie Changge and raised his hand and prepared to start.

"Dad, don't hit your brother. Xie Tianwen immediately ran to Father Xie to plead.

Father Xie was very relieved to see his eldest son caring so much about his younger son, and was about to forgive Xie Changge, but he didn't expect Xie Changge to push Xie Tianwen away and yell at him: "I don't need you, a hypocritical person, to pity me!"

As a result, Father Xie became angry. He didn't show mercy this time, and after scolding Xie Changge, he raised his hand and slapped him hard on the buttocks. After the fight, Father Xie regretted it. used to beat his youngest son, but he was pretending to be, and he didn't beat him hard. This time, seeing that the younger son was too much and dared to kick himself and push his eldest son, Father Xie was angry and made a heavy hand. I thought that if the youngest son cried, I would comfort him by hitting him casually, but the youngest son did not cry.

"You said, you will never kick your father again in the future, and you will never push your brother angrily again, so I will let you go. Father Xie thought that if the youngest son promised him, then he would end the punishment.

"I'm sorry, Dad. However, I won't forgive that person!" As he spoke, Xie Changge pointed at Xie Tian and asked.

"What's the matter with this kid? I thought he was angry with me and pushed the heavens to ask, but he turned out to be angry with the heavens. How could such a well-behaved child offend Changge?" Father Xie thought to himself, feeling that since the younger son refused to listen to him, then it was necessary for him to continue to punish the younger son until the younger son admitted his mistake.

"Dad, even if you show mercy, I won't forgive him!"

The youngest son's resounding words completely stunned Father Xie: "This kid is not a martyr, who is so stubborn?" Father Xie was helpless and slapped Xie Changge hard. Xie Changge's body trembled, but he still didn't squeak.

Said and punished, punished and punished. Parents are not afraid of children who are willing to admit their mistakes, but they are afraid of children who refuse to admit their mistakes and feel that they are right and are not afraid of punishment.

"If you don't respect your brother again, and I see you beating him, I see you hitting him once. "That is what he said, but in his heart, Father Xie prayed to God not to let his little son be so stubborn anymore.

Xie Changge didn't speak.

"It's so strong...... Father Xie whispered and turned to his youngest son to comfort and comfort his younger son, but the younger son covered his eyes with his arms and ran towards the hut without saying a word.

Quickly walking to the hut, Xie Changge put down his arm and shouted to Xie Tianwen, "I will never forgive you!" After speaking, Xie Changge entered the hut and slammed the wooden door.

"Why is this little rabbit cub so angry," Father Xie muttered to his eldest son and asked, "God ask, have you offended him?"

Xie Tianwen didn't speak, shaking his head in denial.

"Don't pay too much attention to your brother's words. You know, he's just a child. You're already a little adult, so don't be like him. ”

Xie Tianwen pursed his lips and nodded.

At lunch, Xie Changge was angry and refused to go downstairs. Father Xie and Mother Xie thought that Xie Changge would go downstairs by himself when he was hungry, but Xie Changge did not. Afraid that his younger brother would be hungry, Xie Tianwen took some vegetables halfway through the meal and said that he would bring them to Xie Changge.

"Silly son, you treat him better than we do to him. If you spoil him like this, he may look down on you even more. Father Xie said.

"He already looks down on me as an older brother. Moreover, he came without breakfast today, and he must be very hungry now that his stomach is empty. He's still young, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it if he's so hungry. Xie Tianwen picked up the plate and went upstairs.

The room where Xie Changge was located was locked.

"Brother, it's time to eat. ”

"Go away, go away, go away!" Xie Changge inside shouted again and again.

Thinking that his younger brother was probably so hungry that his front belly was close to his back, Xie Tianwen persuaded again: "Brother, if you are hungry like this, your body will collapse." Listen to my brother and eat a little. ”

"Go away, you don't have to worry about my business. Get out!"

The last word hurt Xie Tianwen's heart. Xie Tian was helpless, and said to Xie Changge on the other side of the door: "Brother, I left lunch at the door." You have to eat it. "Thank God and put down the plate. When leaving, Xie Tianwen also glanced at the door, hoping that Xie Changge could come out. The door did not open. Xie Tianwen sighed before leaving.

"Why, he won't come out?" asked Xie Mu.

"Hmm......" Xie Tian asked, sad.

"This little rabbit cub, it seems that if he doesn't give him some cruelty, he really doesn't take me as a father in his eyes. Father Xie turned his head and said.

"It's my fault......" thankfully asked, dejected.

"Did you bully him?" Xie's mother asked her eldest son.

Xie Tianwen shook his head and said, "I don't remember what I did to make him so angry. No, I must have done something wrong for him to be so angry with me. ”

"Don't take everything on yourself. Your brother's virtue, we will not know about it as a parent?" said Father Xie.

"As your dad said, your brother is angry. After a while, he himself will come down. Xie Mu said.

Xie Tianwen was silent for a moment, and said to his parents: "I'm worried that he will collapse his body if he is hungry." Dad, Mom, do me a favor and let him eat. ”

Father Xie sighed and said to his eldest son, "For your sake, I will go and persuade him." This little bunny, alas, ......"

"By the way, Dad, if you go up and the food in front of his door doesn't move, you just tell him that you took what I brought and brought a new one. ”

Father Xie understood what his eldest son meant, nodded and walked upstairs. In less than two minutes, Father Xie walked down and said to the mother, "The food hasn't moved." I did as I was told. I'll go up later, and if this kid doesn't open the door again, I'll break through the door and pull him out. ”

When Xie's father went upstairs again, the dinner plate in front of the door of the youngest son's room was already empty.

In the afternoon, Father Xie walked upstairs and said to the youngest son in the room: "Changge, Dad is going to Gaojia Village later, will you go with you?"

"If my brother goes, I won't go. There was a voice in the room.

"My brother won't go. ”

"Really?"

"Really. ”

The door opened, and Father Xie deliberately stepped back and let his youngest son come out by himself. I saw Xie Changge's eyes red, a few tear stains on his face, and a snot hanging down.

"Do I have to look at the thatched house three times before I can invite you, Zhuge Liang?"

Xie Changge sniffed and followed Father Xie downstairs without saying a word. When he came to the hut, he didn't see Xie Tianwen's figure. Thinking that he could finally go to errands with only his father, Xie Changge smiled.

Following Xie's father, Xie Changge came to his car. Opening the passenger door with joy, Xie Changge saw Xie Tianwen sitting in the passenger seat.

Stunned, dazed, angry, and resentful, Xie Changge slammed the car door shut the car door and said to his father without waiting for his laughing brother to come out: "You lied to me!"

"I didn't lie to you. ”

Xie Changge stood in front of Father Xie and said angrily, "You said that my brother didn't go." ”

"Your brother doesn't go to Gaoga Village, he just stops by to the small mountain village where your mother is. Father Xie said.

Xie Changge watched Xie Tianwen come out of the passenger cab and said to Father Xie: "I don't care, I don't care, he can't go!"

"Little bunny, you've been angry with your brother since the other day. Where did he provoke you?"

"He's messing with me everywhere!"

"You little rabbit, why are you so unreasonable?" Father Xie was annoyed.

"I don't care, I don't care, let him go away. With me without him, with him without me!"

Xie Changge's words completely annoyed Father Xie. Father Xie picked up Xie Changge and carried him to Xie Tianwen, and ordered Xie Changge to apologize to Xie Tianwen like a fierce god.

"Uh......h Ah......h

If you don't apologize to your brother today, I'll take you to the mountains, and you don't have to come back!"

"Ah......" Xie Changge cried even more poignantly, and shouted pitifully, "Dad is stupid, Dad is a bad guy, ah ......"

Seeing his younger brother crying into tears, Xie Tian's conscience was like a knife, and he said to Xie's father: "Dad, don't scare him." He knew he was wrong. ”

"Bad guy, I don't want you, a fake person, to intercede for me!" Xie Changge pushed Xie Tianwen away, avoided Father Xie's arrest, and ran towards the mountain.

Xie Tianwen, who was pushed to the ground by Xie Changge, stood up in pain, threw a sentence of "I'll chase him" to his father, and followed Xie Changge.

As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west. Xie Tianwen chased his younger brother until he was deep in the mountains that cars couldn't enter. The two were exhausted, and the older Xie Tianwen naturally grabbed his younger brother first.

"Changge, don't be angry, go back with your brother. ”

"I don't want you to take me back with good intentions!"

Xie Tianwen said helplessly: "You are my brother, how can I not take you back." ”

"Hypocrites. If you take me back, you can tell your parents how brave and powerful you are, please your parents, and make them love you even more. You bad guy!"

As soon as Xie Changge said this, Xie Tianwen immediately understood what his younger brother was angry about. Suddenly feeling that his younger brother was very cute, Xie Tianwen said to Xie Changge: "Mom and Dad don't love me, they love you the most." ”

"Liar. I've known for a long time that you and Mom and Dad often speak ill of me in private. You sow discord!"

Thinking about where his younger brother learned so many idioms, Xie Tianwen solemnly bent down and apologized to his younger brother: "I'm sorry!"

"What?" Xie Changge turned around.

Now is not the time for conflict. It gets dark in the mountains quickly, and it doesn't take long for it to get back. I need to make sure my brother is safe and get him back to his parents as soon as possible. Thinking like this, Xie Tianwen bent down again to apologize to his younger brother: "Brother, it's all my fault, please forgive me." ”

"Do you think you're cheating on a child?" Xie Changge's mood stabilized.

"So, when I go back, I will ask my parents in front of you, so that you can witness that the person they love the most is actually you. Xie Tianwen said to his younger brother.

"Hmm...... No way!"

Xie Tianwen was startled and looked at his younger brother blankly.

"You have to spank Daddy in front of me, or my ass will be so pathetic. ”

Xie Tianwen smiled and said, "Okay, good." ”

"Also, you have to compensate me for the mental damage - you have to take me to the high-tech park. ”

"Good, good. ”

"Also, you're going to treat me to pizza, I want the luxurious kind. ”

"Good, good. Anything else?"

"Hmm...... Let me think about it again......" Xie Changge turned around and took a few steps forward.

There was light in the forest, and Xie Tianwen, who was walking behind Xie Changge's side, immediately noticed the danger.

"Long song, stop!" the words came out, but it was too late.

Xie Tianwen ran forward and rushed out to hug his brother, rolling down the slope and slamming heavily into the rocks below.

Xie Changge, who crawled out of Xie Tianwen's arms, was shocked, stood up and looked at Xie Tianwen who had fallen on the stone, and took a few steps back in a panic and sat on the ground.

"Damn...... There was grass covering the slope...... Well, it's too dangerous......" Xie Tianwen tried to stand up, but he couldn't move. The sharp pain in the back of his head and back made Xie Tian wonder if it was his head and spine that had hit the rocks so hard that he couldn't move.

"Brother, brother......" Xie Changge looked at Xie Tian blankly, stretched out his finger and pointed, "Brother, blood...... There is blood on your head......"

Since my younger brother has said so, then he must be more than lucky.

"Long Song...... Listen, listen......" Xie Tianwen gasped and tried his best to advise his younger brother, "You, you go back now, hurry back and find ...... Mom and Dad are coming...... Do you hear that, go back and ......"

"And what do you do?"

"I, I'm fine. Obedient...... You, you're going back soon......" There are more clouds, and the wind is rising. The weather forecast says that there will be light rain today, light rain tomorrow, and heavy rain at the end of the May Day holiday.

"Shall I go back then?"

"Hmm...... Go back ......."

Xie Changge left Xie Tianwen and ran two steps, looked back at his brother, and said, "I'll go back to find my parents." ”

"Hmm...... Go for it......"

The sun disappeared and the wind was slightly strong, and Xie Changge relied on his memory to run on the way back. Although he took the wrong path halfway, Xie Changge still found a familiar way to Gaojia Village.

Along the way, Xie Changge thought while running. He wondered if his parents would blame him for abandoning his brother? After he and his brother came home, would their parents really praise him and love him more than they loved him? Will my brother break his promise and not take me to play? You must know that the last time my brother brought him home because his father invited him home, he didn't take him to eat a hamburger.

"My brother is a liar and always deceives me with rhetoric. The moment the words came out, Xie Changge recalled what he had said at that time: "It's good that my brother is not there." ”

Standing in place and pondering, Xie Changge continued to run.

"My brother is a stupid person, and such an older brother shouldn't be pampered by his parents. My brother is a bad guy and often makes my parents blame me. It's okay to bleed a little, just go back and put a few band-aids on him. Xie Changge ran into Gaojia Village and said to himself, "Brother must be punished. ”

Exhausted, Xie Changge fell asleep in the service room in Gaojia Village. When he woke up, he saw his mother standing by him.

"Mom......" Before Xie Changge remembered about his brother, Mother Xie hugged Xie Changge.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

Xie Changge looked at his mother's tearful face, and a wave of joy welled up.

"Changge, have you come back with your brother?"

If you tell where your brother is now, your parents will definitely go to your brother right away, so that your brother will not be punished. Thinking like this, Xie Changge shook his head and said, "My brother and I are separated. ”

Mother Xie covered her face and cried. Xie Changge saw that his mother was so sad, he felt that he couldn't lie to his mother anymore, and was about to tell him out when he saw his father enter the service room with a few people.

"Daddy...... Hey, why are you sweating so much?" the person next to Dad was also sweating profusely. No, that's rain. It's raining outside.

"How's it going?"

"It's a landslide. The mudslide has buried many places......" Xie Changge replied to his mother with a sad face as he looked at his father - his father was really crying.

"Mudslides?"

"Bastard, why is it today, why is it raining today!" Father Xie squatted down, hid his face and cried, then stood up and said, "No, I have to look for it again." I'm going to have to find God!"

"Brother, didn't you find it?" Xie Changge looked up at the clock in the service room and found that he had slept for five hours.

"Changge, Changge, let me ask you, didn't your brother go after you?, where did he go, where did he go?" Looking at his father, who was holding on to him, Xie Changge was speechless.

"Don't scare him, he's separated from Tianwen!" Xie Mu cried.

In a trance, Xie Changge saw his father and the villagers brave the heavy rain to look for his brother again, while his mother sat on the ground crying.

"Hey, it's my fault? Because I didn't get everyone to find my brother in time, so my brother is gone? Because I lied to my mother, my brother can't find me? Do I have to tell the truth to my parents? If I say it now, they will hate it, and if I say it now, they won't want my ......."

That year, a 13-year-old boy went missing in a rare landslide in the Goga Mountains, and his fate is unknown. The chairman of the Xie Group has one less son, the general manager of the Xie Group has one less son, a family has one less eldest son, and the boy named Xie Changge has one less elder brother.

Thank God if it is dead or alive, God knows, who knows the living?

That day, Xie Changge knelt down in front of his parents, crying and begging his parents for forgiveness. Knowing the truth, Xie Changge's parents almost collapsed. In the end, Xie Changge did not get the punishment he deserved, but got the only love he longed for. The price of this love was too heavy, and Xie Changge knew that he couldn't bear it.

Since then, Xie Changge's heart has been missing half. Looking at the dining table without his brother, at the bench without his brother, at the bed without his brother, and at the future without his brother, Xie Changge has changed. He became apathetic, stopped making friends, lived with loneliness, and languished with guilt and pain.

That day, Xie Changge met someone. For a split second, he overlapped the man with his brother. From then on, he had been keeping an eye on the man, but he didn't want that person to get too close to his sinful self. What exactly is Xie Changge longing for? At least Xie Changge knows why he cares so much about him-

On the day of registration at the beginning of the first year of high school, Yi Jiahe smiled and said to Xie Changge, who was still unfamiliar to him: "Classmate, make a friend." "Don't forget the latest chapter of the "Don't Forget the Blessing and Claw Book House of the Past in the Past" is free to read for the first time.
