138- The truth
"Hehehe, don't be angry. None of this happened, I can't make it up. Luo Tianyun looked at him with pity, "Lian Haitao, I'm not as unbearable as you think, and your wife who hasn't passed through the door is not a silver woman." You can not believe me, and you will naturally know the truth when you spend candles in the cave room, and this can't be faked. β
Lian Haitao gasped, he naturally believed this, if Shen Yuexin looked at him pitifully and said that they were innocent, he would be very happy to believe it, but when these words came out of Luo Tianyun's mouth, he just felt awkward, he could feel that even if he fell into his hands, Yuexin would marry him, but he still thought about her everywhere.
At this time, shouldn't he Luo Tianyun want to protect himself, or deliberately say some excessive words to provoke himself, wishing that he broke off the marriage contract with Yuexin in a fit of anger, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman. But he didn't, the reason why he did this was only one reason, he was afraid that the moon heart would be hurt.
Even at this point, he is still protecting Yuexin and teaching him how to calm down as a fiancΓ©? Such affection, coupled with the fact that he saw them holding hands with his own eyes that day, taught him how to believe that there was nothing between them? Although Shen Yuexin's explanation was that she couldn't walk, so he took advantage of the situation to pull it, but during this period of time, she was absent-minded, and taught him how to convince himself?
There was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, so he pointed the finger at Luo Tianyun again, and whipped Luo Tianyun over and over again as if he was deadly, until he was tired of beating, and then stopped.
After taking a sip of water, he stepped forward and grabbed Luo Tianyun's broken collar, and asked word by word: "Say, what did you do to her!" β
He didn't understand why he was so persistent, he knew that the answer would make him sad, but he just wanted a clear answer, and he didn't want to guess for no reason, if he didn't ask for an understanding, he would always have a thorn in his heart. And this question, he couldn't ask Shen Yuexin, so he had to interrogate Luo Tianyun over and over again.
Luo Tianyun never said a word, which made him angry, and he increased the strength of his hand: "Say, what did you do to her!" β
The clothes that had long been beaten and tattered were torn apart, revealing an old scar on the shoulder, but it was unusually clear. Lian Haitao stared at the scar in shock, and then frantically ripped off his sleeve. Looking at his arms, as if not satisfied, he unbuttoned his ragged clothes again and groped around him.
His inexplicable action made Luo Tianyun feel extremely humiliated, just like that...... The rabbit couldn't help but say angrily: "Lian Haitao, don't go too far, you can't be humiliated!" β
Lian Haitao didn't pay attention to him, just searched for himself, and then found half a white lotus jade pendant from him, looked at it for a moment, put it in his arms, and silently walked out of the dungeon.
"Lian Haitao, you give me back the jade pendant!" Luo Tianyun is like a raging lion.
Lian Haitao locked the door of the dungeon, returned to the room, took out half of the jade pendant he had personally collected, and gradually brought the two jade pendants closer together to form a complete circle.
"I wish my grandmother happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!" Two pink dolls kowtow to the old lady sitting in the first place.
The old lady smiled and shone red: "Good, come to grandmother!" β
When the little doll heard this, she got up and ran forward, leaning on the sides of the old lady, who looked at her well-behaved grandson in her arms and smiled. Mama presented a lacquer plate with a white jade pendant and a jasper bracelet in it.
The old lady smiled and gave the contents to her two grandchildren: "This is a treasure that has been passed down from our family for generations, you have to put it away and give it to my granddaughter-in-law in the future!" β
"Mother, you spoil them too much, they know so much, you should keep it for them first!"
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law unhappily: "How can I take back what I gave to my grandson!" β
Zheng Siping hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "You two haven't thanked your grandmother soon!" β
"Thank you, Grandmother!" The elder brother saluted respectfully.
The younger brother was not happy: "Grandmother, I don't want this bracelet, I want to change it with my brother!" β
Zheng Siping reprimanded: "Haitao, don't mess around, don't thank your grandmother!" β
Four-year-old Xiao Haitao flattened his mouth and cried "wow", which made the old lady anxious.
Xiao Tianyun put the jade pendant in his hand and comforted: "Haitao is good, Haitao doesn't cry, I'll change it with you." β
Xiao Haitao didn't appreciate it, and smashed the jade pendant to the ground: "I don't want it!" My brother is the worst, I don't want to be with my brother again! After saying that, he ran out crying.
Xiao Tianyun picked up the jade pendant on the ground, found his younger brother who was crying behind the rockery, and said in surprise: "Haitao, look at it!" β
Although Xiao Haitao was still angry, he couldn't suppress his curiosity, his eyes looked at his brother through his fingers, and he saw that his brother was holding two and a half pieces of jade pendant in his hand and said with a smile: "Haitao is so smart, divide the jade pendant into two, you are half and I am half, let's go to Mama and wear it with red thread, even if one day we get lost, we can find each other with tokens!" β
"Okay!" Xiao Haitao burst into tears and laughed, and pulled his brother to find his grandmother.
The child's temper is like this, it comes and goes quickly, he was four years old that year, and his brother was three years older than him.
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed, and Xiao Haitao has grown up and become more naughty. He hid in a big tree, and when he saw that his brother was looking for him in a hurry, he climbed to the top of the branch and shouted, "Brother, here I am!" β
Xiao Tianyun said anxiously: "Haitao, why did you climb so high, come down quickly!" β
"Good!" As he spoke, Haitao mischievously jumped from branch to branch, which frightened the little Tianyun who was watching under the tree.
"Let's go!" Just when Xiao Haitao was proud, he accidentally grabbed a very fragile branch, which broke off as soon as he touched it, and only a thin layer of bark was barely attached.
"Brother, save me!"
"Haitao, don't worry, I'll figure it out...... Waves...... Ah......h
Before Xiao Tianyun finished speaking, the fragile bark was also broken, and Xiao Haitao fell straight down. Xiao Tianyun didn't have time to think about it, so he caught his younger brother with his small body, but the branch in Xiao Haitao's hand was inserted into his shoulder, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Haitao saw a lot of blood on his brother's shoulder, crying and shouting for help, and finally alarmed the people in the village and rescued Xiao Tianyun. Xiao Tianyun's life was saved, but his arm was broken, and it took a long time to recover, but the scar on his shoulder was always there.
"Brother, it's all my bad ......"
"What stupid words are you talking about, you are my only younger brother, of course I, as an elder brother, want to let you and protect you!"
"Then you can only have one brother of mine in the future!"
"Okay, silly brother!"
After Xiao Tianyun's injury recovered, Zheng Siping began to teach him martial arts, and his mother was afraid that Xiao Haitao would make trouble again, so she just wanted to go back to her parents' house to save her relatives, so she took him away. Although Xiao Haitao is reluctant to give up his brother, the outside world of flowers is more attractive to him, and his brother has always been there, so there are not many opportunities to go outside.
The day before leaving, he pulled Xiao Tianyun and said, "Brother, I'll come back and bring you good things!" β
"Oh? What good things does Haitao want to bring me? β
"It's a secret!"
However, he never saw his brother again, and when he returned, Zhengjiazhuang was in ruins, and there were still some people who did not know what they were searching for. The mother decisively picked him up and ran, and when she got to no one, she gave the accompanying grandmother some silver and sent her away, and she depended on Haitao for her life.
After the mother changed her appearance, she went back to inquire about what had happened, and she did not dare to go back to her parents' house, so she had to wander around with her son, looking for the housekeeper and the eldest son at the same time.
The money on her body was quickly spent, and she had to find a place to settle down and do some embroidery to make ends meet. At first, it was fine, but after a long time, those people saw their orphans and widows, and began to bully them, but luckily they got the help of a commander.
With Uncle Lian, no one dares to bully their mother and son anymore, but there are even more people pointing fingers behind their backs. After these turbulent days, Xiao Haitao seems to have grown up all of a sudden, he has become sensible, and he is no longer naughty.
When Uncle Lian proposed to be his father, he resolutely objected, and scolded his mother for being shameless, but he was slapped by his mother, and he ran out crying again, but this time there was no brother by his side to comfort him.
Uncle Lian didn't speak, and after catching up with him, he took him to see the lives of some beggars, and took him to see some scenes where poor families couldn't open their pots and sell their sons and daughters.
On the way back, Uncle Lian said meaningfully: "If you resolutely refuse to agree to your mother's remarriage, she will follow you." But if it weren't for my help, those people would come to bully you orphans and widows, your mother is a woman, she has endured all the hardships, at most she will give you enough food, she can't train you to become a talent, let alone give you a life of fine clothes and food, are you willing to live the same life as those people in the future? β
"Your mother agreed to follow me because of you, follow me, even if you can't give you the life of a master, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, it is not a problem to learn martial arts, and if I am promoted in the future, you will be decent. I treat your mother with all my heart, and I will treat you as my own, as long as you really regard me as a father. For the sake of you and your mother, I will continue to seek fame and fame, and do my best to make your life the best. β
Uncle Lian did not break his promise, he spoiled their mother and son as his heart, and he really regarded Uncle Lian as his father. Two years ago, his father had been promoted from the original commander to the state lieutenant, and he was able to serve as a county lieutenant at a young age, and it was also managed by his father.
Now he has a happy family and a beloved fiancΓ©e, the only regret is that he didn't find his brother, and after he left home to embark on a career, his mother kept urging him to find his brother. The half of the jade pendant, the scar on the shoulder and the birthmark on the right arm are the clues to find the elder brother.
Lian Haitao sat alone in the room for a long time, and then returned to the dungeon, he untied the rope on Luo Tianyun's body without saying a word, and took out the clothes he didn't wear and put them on for him: "You go, don't appear again in the future, don't come to disturb me and Yuexin's life, I will treat her well." Manage your black sand village well, and from now on the well water will not interfere with the river water. β
Luo Tianyun couldn't believe his sudden change of attitude, he stood still, for fear that he had some conspiracy.
Lian Haitao seemed to see his thoughts, and said disdainfully: "I won't kill you for Yuexin, why don't you leave quickly, my mother and Yuexin should almost come back when they go to Shangxiang, do you want her to see you look embarrassed like this?" β
Luo Tianyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Give me back the jade pendant." β
"It's just a broken jade pendant, I've already thrown it away."
"You're lying!" Luo Tianyun shot at Lian Haitao.
Lian Haitao dodged a blow and admitted: "Okay, I'm lying, that jade pendant is of good texture, Yuexin will like it, you should give her as a congratulatory gift." β
