Chapter Seventy-Four: Red's Trust and Remorse
"That's all I know, most of it was what Red told me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lina leaned against the wall and coughed softly, her throat burning from the long storytelling she had been telling the story for a long time.
"It's a little similar to me, but compared to Uncle Red, my childhood was much better." The exclamations echoed with how much hardship, and the heart sank when I saw these hard earthen walls, because all this was far from over.
"Speaking of Miss Linna, you know that the change in attitude after I am the original captain makes me unacceptable, this ........" I am a little embarrassed, after all, anyone who encounters an inexplicable 180-degree change will have doubts.
"Just call me Linna, Red and Fog Hide have always said that you are a very good person, the kind of person who goes out of his way to treat his friends, I think it should be a kind person with a sense of justice." Lina said with a smile.
I could only look embarrassed: "I'm sorry...... Disappointed you. ā
"It's okay, it's okay, Red believes you. I will believe you. Lina said with a smile.
Saying this made my heart a little uncomfortable, and I turned my head to look at the fog that had been silent for a long time: "Fog ........."
"Big brother, does Uncle Red deserve it?"
I was stunned, I stole a glance at Linna, and Linna's face became extremely exciting.
"I don't think I can answer you now." I touched the fog in my head, I obviously had the answer in my heart but I didn't want to tell the fog, it's not because I don't trust the fog, I just don't want this to gradually destroy the simplicity of the fog.
"I'll go see Uncle Red first." He smiled apologetically at Lina and got up to leave the cellar.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the cabin, Uncle Red was holding a cigarette and exhaling a puff of mist in front of the glowing pool. I didn't want to disturb him, because I saw the empty cigarette case and cigarette butts all over the ground under his feet, and Uncle Red was really in a bad mood.
"Brother Ye? Smoked? Uncle Red turned his back to me and gestured to me with a box of cigarettes in his hand.
"No, smoking hurts your lungs." I politely declined.
"Well, Lina's story is complete." Uncle seems to already know everything.
Without waiting for me to speak, the uncle continued: "Do you think I'm particularly hypocritical? Obviously can't even communicate well, and you still spoil other girls? Pretend to be a teacher in front of others, pretending to be a good person. In fact, he was the real murderer of his parents. So ugly, so bad. In front of you, I still pretended to be a vulgar uncle, deliberately with a rough-looking beard and a bold face to get together with you shamelessly? ā
After speaking, the uncle took a puff of cigarette and threw the cigarette butt at his feet, as if he was stepping on a cockroach. Then he pulled another one out of the cigarette case.
"Uncle Red!" I stepped forward to stop the uncle.
"Isn't life just about pretending? Saying one thing and doing another in front of others, constantly lying and constantly lying, living in endless battles every day. Compared to me, your life is miserable but not very tiring. "I was behind Uncle Red, and I could only see Uncle Red's expression through the blurry reflection of the sparkling pool water.
"Indeed." Uncle Red slowly spat out two words.
"But, you know, all these years I have lived like a walking corpse as a human being, as a human being."
"So you, who are used to blows, don't care about this little despair in front of you........ Right. "I want to slap myself, what kind of bastard is this.
"Yes. I have been confined to my home for many years, and my heart is still twisted, and my peace of mind and indifference to everything are the biggest obstacles for me as a person. Just imagine......" Uncle Red's choked voice hit my spirit even more, and his dry voice continued: "A person who doesn't care about everything is equivalent to having lost his emotions, so let's not mention that he is incomplete, I think he has lost the right to be a human being." ā
"Why?" I remembered the ruthless 'me' in my memory.
"Emotion is the most important tool for people to communicate, every sentence and every word describes your emotions to others, and he is too bland in addition to the meaning of the language can explain what he wants to express in a monotonous and dry way, what should he do for a person who is not good at expressing and stammering?"
"It's one thing to be kind, it's another thing to have evil thoughts. After all, it is caused by people's emotions, and seeing a person being bullied will produce pity, and pity will give birth to kindness. Isn't disgust to a bully a hate? Look at me, what do you think I'll get? What can I have? I have no pity for the beggars or hate the thieves. Why? For there is something hateful about the wretched, and there is nothing wrong with that. ā
He suddenly turned to face me: "It's because of my mentality that everything is made to the same size that makes me like this." If I express my anger at Lina's family's obstruction, will they stop? ā
"You know what? Heather. Oh! Lena didn't know what the girl's name was, her name was Heather. If I could have been outraged by her betrayal and scolded her or said something vicious about it, I don't think she would have died with that look of regret in the end. Lena shouldn't have told you, Heather's last words still have this sentence: 'I know that Uncle you are so indifferent to everything, it's just the occasional novelty that catches your attention, and when these novelties pass, you should be indifferent or indifferent to my existence, so before I left you, I was extremely panicked and thought sinfully: Maybe I told you directly that I brought you a green hat with a little white face outside. I guess you should have a nonchalant attitude, too. āā
Red spoke almost in the calmest voice, and to be honest, any man who heard his woman say such things to himself was impulsive, and even wanted to kill the man and woman on the spot.
"Do you know how I answered?" Uncle Red looked calm.
"You're right, I'd be angry as a man, I'd despise you as a woman, but I'm just living as a puppet in human society."
Uncle Red's face was full of joy and sorrow, like a passer-by who seemed to have nothing to do with him, he had never seen or felt anything.
"When I met a group of teammates, I didn't talk much and didn't engage in serious conversations, but they would look at me and ask for my nod. It's called 'Etos', a name that I am proud of, a place that makes me feel emotional and warm, they will be sad and laugh, they will care about me, they will be with me. From the first word of this sentence, Uncle Red's words are no longer pale and weak, no longer plain as water, but full of nostalgia and warm tenderness.
"Now! It's almost dissolved on the edge of this terrible cliff, all because of your departure, but I don't hate you. Uncle Red turned to sad words, and his eyes stared straight at him: "Because of your helplessness, your situation, your powerlessness, your ignorance. So you have to leave, you do your best for everyone but have your own thoughts, the team that you can't master, your departure is the best choice, it's too reluctant to stay, so I don't hate you. We all trusted, so we don't want you to throw that trust away in the future, and we look forward to your return. Let's bring back our original warm 'home' again."
These were Uncle Red's last words before I left, and they were the source of the greatest motivation I heard. It was this sentence that made me know: everyone is still waiting for me.
