Chapter 1278: Ergou's Past
I don't know how long I watched it, and Li Ergou's voice came from the side.
"Brother Zhang, you are a person with a story."
I don't know when, Li Ergou came to Zhang Yifeng's side.
Zhang Yifeng said lightly: "No matter who you are, there is a story, and you are the same." ”
"Brother Zhang, can you tell me your story?"
"My story? It's too long to tell. It's you, it's rare to take the initiative to talk to me, so how about you tell me about your story? ”
Li Ergou was stunned: "Talk about my story?" What is there to talk about in my story. ”
Zhang Yifeng said lightly: "Everyone's life is a storybook of ups and downs. I am the protagonist of my own story. You too, tell me your story. ”
Zhang Yifeng is in a very nervous mood now, he just wants to listen, not speak.
"My story...... Am I the main character? Li Ergou's eyes flashed, and then he spoke, "My name is Li Ergou." Born in Lijia Village, my mother was sick all year round, and my father was not only an alcoholic but also a gambler. ”
Li Ergou paused, took a deep breath, and then continued to speak: "When I was a child, everyone didn't like to play with me, and my father didn't care about the life or death of me and my mother, when I was five years old, my mother was seriously ill, and the family couldn't open the pot, in order to be able to take care of my mother, I stole other people's things for the first time, and was beaten for the first time, and after that, every time I went out to steal something, I had to take Da Hei with me, and sometimes when I was discovered, Da Hei would help me block the villagers and let me leave. However, a year later, my mother still died of a serious illness. ”
"After my mother died, everyone thought I was going to break my bad habit of stealing because I was stealing for my mother. But I disappointed the villagers, and I continued to steal. ”
"Why?" Zhang Yifeng asked lightly.
"Why?" Li Ergou smiled, "It's very simple. Because my father isn't dead! As long as he doesn't die, no matter how he treats me, no matter how sorry he is for my mother, he is the relative who gave birth to me, raised me, and gave me flesh and blood! So, I can't let him starve to death. So he was collected by the villagers, and I asked Da Hei to scare those who collected the debts, so he had no food or money, so I went to steal and rob, even if I was beaten and bruised, the debts he owed and the debts I owed, I repaid! ”
His voice was unequivocal, without the slightest hesitation.
Zhang Yifeng took a deep look at Li Ergou, and he found that the old village chief was right, Li Ergou's appearance was cold, but his heart was warm.
"And then?"
"Perhaps there was retribution, the year after my mother died, my father also died of excessive drinking. Before he died, I don't know if it was his conscience, he told me that the reason why he treated my mother and me so badly, why he was addicted to alcohol and gambling, was because I was not his flesh and blood...... I was born to someone else. Before my mother was with my father, I had a relationship with someone else, and I was unexpectedly pregnant. He knew, but he didn't say it, he said that he loved his mother deeply, but he didn't know how to treat a woman who he loved but didn't tell him the truth. He said that even if his mother told him that I was not his, he would agree to give birth to me and raise me as an adult, but my mother didn't, but always thought that my father didn't know anything. ”
Li Ergou said as he spoke, tears dripping down in big pieces. Only he knows how tragic his life is.
"Wang!"
Seeing Li Ergou crying, Da Hei stood up and yelled at him, and then stretched out his paw and touched his face, as if he was wiping his tears for him.
"Big Black, I'm fine." Li Ergou touched Da Hei's head and continued to speak, "Dad does love his mother, and it is precisely because of love that he has expectations in his heart, and thus hatred." He expects his mother to tell him the truth when she gives birth to me. He felt that the reason why his mother didn't tell him the truth was because she was worried that he wouldn't want me and would beat me out. But, after giving birth to me, my mother didn't tell him the facts, he was very angry in his heart, but he couldn't bear to shoot at the woman he loved, so he could only hide this sorrow in his heart, but he always stupidly hoped that his mother would say to him: My son is actually not your flesh and blood, it is my bad relationship with that person, but I was reluctant to beat it before I was born, Xianggong, I hope you can forgive me. ”
"But, as time went on, I got bigger and bigger. His father was starting to die, and he knew that his mother was not going to tell him all about it. So, he started gambling and began to drink alcoholically, because only drinking and gambling could make him forget these troubles! So, he snubbed my mother and me. ”
Zhang Yifeng didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"Brother Zhang Yifeng, do you know? Since I was a child, I have hated my father very much, because since I was sensible, my mother has always done housework, and my father only knows how to drink and gamble. I always thought that my father was the most irresponsible person in the world. But now, I finally understand why my mother told me not to hold a grudge against my father before she died, but to take good care of him. Perhaps, the mother knew that she had hurt the father. ”
Zhang Yifeng sighed, everyone has their own story and world, and if they are not in someone else's world, it is really difficult to distinguish between cause and effect.
"Ergouzi, speaking of which, you are the one who is hurt the most. Whether it was your mother or your father, they all hurt you, and you resisted all the things they didn't dare to bear. Ergouzi, do you still hate your parents now? ”
Li Ergou nodded: "Hate, why don't you hate, it was they who ruined my childhood and ruined my life." But, what can I do but hate. No matter how much I hate, they are also my parents, who raised me and did not die young. What's more, none of them are bad people. And since my father's death, I have given up my original name and called myself Ergouzi, because I am like a stray wild dog. No one loves. ”
"Wang!" Da Hei suddenly let out a dog bark.
Li Ergou looked at it and smiled: "I'm sorry, I said it wrong." Even if I don't have my parents, I still have you by my side. You are my relative. ”
Da Hei nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his tongue and licked Li Ergou's face.
"So, that's why you want to leave Lijia Village?" Zhang Yifeng spoke again.
"Yes. In the whole village, I, Li Ergou, am a beggar, a person with a bad past. I'm a thief, I'm the son of a drunkard and a gambler. Here, I can only live alone with Dahei. But once we go out, I can have a new beginning, a new beginning, I can go to another village, in the new village, everything I have is a blank slate, no one knows my past, no one despises my birth, I can live happily with everyone without being excluded, and that's enough. In this way, I can know that I really exist and that I can be recognized by everyone. ”
Li Ergou's eyes flickered non-stop, which was his vision for the future.
