Chapter 183: The Family
Li Ergou nodded, with a determined look in his eyes, he knew that the truth he had been looking forward to for twenty years was likely to be solved immediately.
Seeing this, the third uncle didn't say anything more, pushed open the door, and stepped in with his feet. As far as the back is concerned, there is a kind of tragedy of "the strong man is gone".
Seeing this, Li Ergou and the fat man hurriedly followed.
When I went in, I found that my grandfather was the only one in the yard, sitting on a small bench, with a dry tobacco in his mouth, and he was chopping wood.
"Third uncle!"
Li Ergou couldn't help but shout at the third uncle, he was very entangled in his heart now.
It is not difficult to deduce from the words of Mrs. Huangpizi that twenty years ago, his father was skinned and mysteriously disappeared, and his grandfather knew about it, and he couldn't even get out of it.
But why is this the case?
The dearest person, do it to the dearest person, I'm afraid that whoever puts it on it, it will be difficult to calm down, and it will collapse instantly!
"Ergou, this is our family matter, you close the door and don't let the neighbors see the joke." The third uncle turned around and said.
Li Ergou closed the door suddenly, and the whole person was on the verge of collapse.
He wished that everything was not true, but things seemed to be going in the direction he least wanted to.
At this time, Li Ergou's mother Zhou Yun also heard the movement, she walked out and stood at the door of the living room, looking at the scene in the yard with a helpless face.
"Ergou, come here."
Zhou Yun beckoned to Li Ergou, his eyes full of pampering.
However, Li Ergou keenly saw some other things from her expression just now.
It's no wonder that Li Ergou is suspicious, it's really because he has been dependent on his mother for more than 20 years, and the mother and son are too familiar with each other.
"Twenty years ago, my mother also knew the truth about my father's disappearance!"
Li Ergou suddenly had such a bold conjecture in his heart, and then, even he himself was taken aback by this conjecture.
If that's the case, that's terrible!
Thinking like this, Li Ergou had already come to Zhou Yun's side.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Li Ergou asked.
"It's okay, Mom just missed you, so I called over to take a look." Zhou Yun replied to the question.
Li Ergou listened to the clouds, and his heart was even more puzzled.
"Dad, are you the city god, twenty years ago, the eldest brother was skinned and mysteriously disappeared, did you also do it?"
At this time, the third uncle also began to attack his grandfather.
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.
