Chapter 53: The crux of the matter
After listening to the third uncle's questioning, Li Ergou collapsed in an instant, feeling that the whole person had been completely stripped of his soul.
However, what made him even more devastating was his grandfather's answer.
"Yes, what do you want?"
In the face of the third uncle's inquiry, the grandfather just took off the dry cigarette holder, knocked it twice on the cement floor, and said disapprovingly.
He didn't even deny it, he answered crisply, and there were no emotional fluctuations in his cloudy old eyes.
When he heard this answer, Li Ergou felt that the sky was about to fall, he held his hands on his head and squatted directly on the ground, not knowing what to do.
One is his most respected grandfather, and the other is his biological father, Li Ergou only feels that God has played a huge joke on him.
Zhou Yun also squatted down at this moment, gently holding Li Ergou's head in his arms, his face full of tears.
And the fat man was just dumbfounded, it was not to stand there and walk, nor to continue to stay.
It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that he is still an outsider!
"Dad, why, tell me why, eldest brother is your own son!"
The third uncle asked through gritted teeth, his fists clenched, and his expression was extremely painful.
"What, my son is disobedient, do you need a reason to teach Lao Tzu a lesson?"
Unmoved, Grandpa refilled the tobacco and took two puffs before he continued, "Remember, my life is mine, and yours is mine." ”
"Ahh
The third uncle roared in pain, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and then like a deflated ball, he sat down on the ground, hiding his face and crying bitterly.
The whole courtyard was lifeless and in shambles.
Grandpa was smoking dry tobacco there, Li Ergou and the third uncle, as well as Li Ergou's mother Zhou Yun, all cried together.
The only person standing was the fat man.
But he obviously couldn't intervene in this matter, not to mention, grandpa's other identity is still the city god, and the fat man is not an opponent at all.
At this moment, Li Ergou can best understand the third uncle's mood.
As far as Li Ergou is concerned, on the one hand, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, and on the other hand, he is a respected grandfather, and he cannot be filial piety.
Sandwiched in the middle, it's really hard to do!
Although Li Ergou had expected this result and this dilemma at the moment, he was still a little at a loss when it really happened.
However, Li Ergou was unwilling after all and was not carried away by emotions.
His father, Li Chengde, is his grandfather's biological son after all, and the tiger poison does not eat children, let alone the grandfather of the city god?
Li Ergou felt that there must be something else hidden in this matter.
Besides, the yellow-skinned old lady once said that his father was not really dead, but was buried in a mysterious place.
If the grandfather was really a femme fatale and did such a heartbreaking act as killing his son with his own hands, Li Ergou's mother would not have stayed in the Li family, and she would have stayed for more than 20 years.
What about Lord Chenghuang? What about the?
After all, this is a society governed by the rule of law, not the underworld under the jurisdiction of Lord Yama, as long as you break the law, you will be held accountable.
However, grandpa's attitude is too annoying.
In his conversation with the third uncle, every sentence was like a sharp blade, which was inserted into Li Ergou's heart.
Li Ergou never thought that his grandfather, who he had respected since he was a child, would be the city god, a cold-blooded and ruthless executioner.
Even the mutilation of one's own son can be said lightly.
Just because of his "son is disobedient, be a lesson from Lao Tzu", Li Ergou lacked father's love for more than 20 years, and let his mother Zhou Yun stay alive and widowed for 20 years, wasting a woman's most precious youth.
And what about grandpa?
looked indifferent, not even an explanation, not a word of apology.
The more Li Ergou thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally stood up and walked towards his grandfather step by step.
"What, you want to get justice for your father too?"
Grandpa raised his head and looked at Li Ergou, his eyes were full of indifference and disdain, as if he looked at the enemy.
That kind of look made Li Ergou extremely unfamiliar, and even felt a coldness from the depths of his soul.
"Grandpa, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, I will definitely make your evil deeds public and hand you over to the police." Li Ergou glared at his grandfather and said.
"Oh? What if I don't explain, I can train you for twenty-five years, and I can also destroy you! Grandpa said disapprerovingly.
Li Ergou was stunned for a moment, and even felt a little funny.
In the past twenty-five years, in addition to saving him once from Guan Erye's knife, what else has grandpa done for him?
From childhood to adulthood, Li Ergou has been dependent on his mother, and without the help of his third uncle, he would not even be able to go to college.
And what about grandpa, he doesn't do anything all day, he is idle, he knows how to smoke, and he wants others to earn money to support him, is this what he calls training?
"Grandpa, it's all now, are you still obsessed?"
Li Ergou roared, looking a little hysterical.
He really couldn't understand that all he wanted was an explanation, why didn't grandpa want to say anything?
"You can do whatever you like, anyway, there is nothing to say!"
Grandpa also seemed to be angry, and after yelling at Li Ergou, he continued to chop firewood there, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Okay, that's what you said, I don't want to stay in this family, you just wait for the old Li family to cut off their children and grandchildren!"
At this moment, Li Ergou was already furious, and after putting down a cruel sentence, he said to the fat man: "Fat man, let's go!" ”
After speaking, he pulled the fat man and walked out of the yard together, and then slammed the gate with a bang.
"Brother Ergou, don't be angry, in my opinion, your grandfather must have a hard time."
After walking a few steps, the fat man patted Li Ergou on the shoulder and comforted.
It's okay that he wasn't comforted, but as soon as he was comforted, Li Ergou couldn't hold back anymore, and hugged the fat man directly, and the tears that he couldn't stop finally came out again.
"Alright, manly man, what's there to cry about."
Although the fat man said this, he still patted Li Ergou on the back and comforted: "You have to think like this, you are Li Ergou, the grandson of the Chenghuang Lord, even the king of Jizo wants to give you amnesty, what is there that you can't solve?" ”
"What's more, he is your grandfather after all, an important figure in the Lingyin Sect, how can he really harm your father? The way you look makes Lin Baoer see how bad it is. The fat man continued.
As soon as he said this, Li Ergou also felt embarrassed, and quickly let go of the fat man and wiped the tears on his face.
If the fat man is talking, how can Li Ergou not understand?
It's just that I feel aggrieved and want to vent.
"Fat man, do you have any good ways to deal with my father?" After sorting out his emotions, Li Ergou asked.
Now that the fat man knows what the whole thing has happened, he should have his own opinion.
What's more, by Li Ergou's side, except for the third uncle, the only people who can negotiate and believe in it are fat people.
"In my opinion, the crux of the problem is still in the underground labyrinth under the Fengyuan Building." The fat man thought for a while, and then said sharply.
