Chapter 19: Guilt
It was almost late at night, and the dim street lamps were already lit up on the path in the East Fence Pavilion.
The insects chirp intermittently beside the road, and the pavilions and pavilions in the distance are hidden in the shadows.
Wu Qi lowered his head and walked, and his shadow kept changing directions with his pace.
Most of the guests in Dongli Pavilion have left, and compared to the excitement of the evening, it is already quiet at this time.
What I saw and heard in Xiaodong Lixuan today was too shocking for Wu Qi...
He still hasn't fully digested it, especially the identity of his father and the cause of his father's death...
His father turned out to be a martial artist, and he was also the former leader of the 3rd group of the [Left Blade] Brigade...
Because of the leakage of news about a mission abroad, the 3 groups led by his father Wu Ang were besieged by the enemy...
In order to help his teammates break through, Wu Ang chose to break off.
In the end, although he also broke through the encirclement,
But because of his injuries, he has been cut off from life...
Remembering that summer vacation five years ago,
I remembered my father's pale face that day, and the shirt that was oozing blood...
Mother's desperate cry ...
Also, the self who is begging outside the door...
That was the first time I saw my embarrassed father, and the last...
Now that the truth is revealed, Wu Qi's heart is like a knife...
He misunderstood his mother, and begged her to take his seriously injured father to the hospital.
But his mother, Mo Baoying, rejected him and locked him out of the door.
I cried outside the door for I don't know how long, and the door slowly opened.
It's just that the father has already taken his last breath, and the mother is also slumped in front of the door.
In the face of his mother's inaction, he was carried away by anger and ran away from home...
Two years later, my mother remarried, and I felt that there was no reason to return to a home that no longer belonged to me.
Now that he knows who his father is,
Knowing that his father was actually incurable at that time, he forced his last breath to return home, just to see his wife and two children for the last time.
The mother did not agree to the father's request to take him to the hospital, but the father did not agree.
[Heavenly Blade] is helpless with injuries, what can ordinary hospitals do...
It's just that I didn't understand the reason at the time, and I broke up with my mother because of this...
How desperate my mother must have been at that time...
It's so undeserved...
Wu Qi clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was filled with guilt.
The pace quickened, he was going to see his mother, he wanted to apologize to her, and from now on he would be filial piety...
"Wu Qi."
There was a shout from behind him, and Wu Qi slowed down.
It was Lu Siyu's voice.
"Grandpa asked me to come out and see you. You... Are you okay? ”
When Wu Qi learned his father's true identity, he chose to leave everyone and left Xiaodong Lixuan.
Lu Zizi didn't worry about Wu Qi, afraid that he would do something stupid, so he asked Lu Siyu to come out.
Lu Siyu is a girl, and she is the best person to comfort Wu Qi now.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, and I'll keep my mouth shut about today."
Wu Qi didn't look back, and continued to speed up his pace after speaking.
"I, of course, we believe in you. I just hope you mourn and don't do something stupid. ”
Lu Siyu saw Wu Qi speed up his pace, and also sped up his speed to keep a distance behind Wu Qi.
"The father's profession, his sacrifice, is his own choice, and there is nothing to say about the son of man..."
He can understand his father's choice, he is a martyr, a hero.
It's just that he's not a good father...
"Team Leader Wu is a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and he is grandpa's most proud disciple.
I grew up listening to my grandfather tell Uncle Wu's story.
Grandpa said that although Uncle Wu's qualifications are average, he is the most diligent and hardworking one.
Every time I go out on a mission, I always take the lead, and I am always the one who breaks off...
Grandpa also said that Uncle Wu's personality is most similar to him.
In the future, he will take his place...
It's just that he doesn't have the luck of his grandfather,
And finally..."
Because Lu Siyu had the qualifications to cultivate, he knew about the existence of the [Heavenly Blade] at a very young age.
is also because his grandfather is the chief instructor of the [Left Blade] Brigade, so he met Wu Ang very early.
Now seeing that Wu Qi was depressed, she silently followed behind her and whispered some of the past things she knew about Wu Ang.
"Anything else? I'd like to hear more..."
Wu Qi slowed down and asked in a low voice.
"Every time he finishes a mission, Uncle Wu will come to the house to report to his grandfather that he is safe.
Many times I was injured, but I would come to see my grandfather first before I would go back to the [Tianyou] branch to heal.
Every time he came to see him with an injury, his grandfather would always scold Uncle Wu.
said that Uncle Wu was a stunned person who didn't want to die...
Uncle Wu just smiled and said, 'Got it, got it, I'll run faster next time'...
But the next time I turn around, I'm injured again..."
...
Wu Qi heard Lu Siyu talk about his father's past, and his eyes gradually reddened.
Every time my father comes back, he is not embarrassed, he is always in a straight suit and has a bright smile...
I never knew if the body covered by the clean suit had a newly healed wound...
My mother probably knows better than I do, but I don't know my mother's attitude.
It's just that I've never seen two husbands and wives quarrel, and they're always so loving...
"You go back, I'll go home by myself."
Wu Qi opened his mouth to let Lu Siyu leave, he just wanted to be alone at the moment, and then go to find his mother Mo Baoying.
"That's... This is my number, can you take note of it..."
Lu Siyu also guessed that Wu Qi wanted to be alone and quiet, without reluctance.
She reported her mobile phone number to Wu Qi.
"My phone... It seems to be lost... I can write down the number, rest assured. ”
I fumbled in my pocket, but I couldn't find my phone...
Wu Qi was a little embarrassed, so he had to say that he could remember the number, and it was no problem to remember a mobile phone number with his memory.
"That's... You can contact me anytime you think about it..."
Lu Siyu said this a little awkwardly, but in fact, he wanted to say that Wu Qi would contact her if he made a good choice.
It's just that the current situation is not good to ask Wu Qi directly about his choice, so the taste of the words has changed.
"Find a good time, I'll visit Grandpa Lu..."
Wu Qi of course understood what Lu Siyu meant, and replied, which also resolved Lu Siyu's embarrassment.
"That's good... Good bye. ”
Lu Siyu was also relieved when he saw Wu Qi answer like this.
Although Wu Qi did not give a positive answer, at least things did not develop in a bad direction.
Saying goodbye to Lu Siyu, Wu Qi also walked in a different direction.
He was going to look for his mobile phone, and he should have left it somewhere on the road to Xiaodong Lixuan where he was knocked unconscious by Miao Yifeng.
No wonder Shen Dong and the others didn't contact them overnight, it turned out that they couldn't get in touch because they lost their mobile phones.
It's just that I was knocked unconscious and brought to Xiaodong Lixuan, in which direction is the two-story building where the celebration banquet was held...
Wu Qi sighed lightly and walked in one direction...
"System! Didn't you say there were no side effects? ”
Wu Qi suddenly thought of the accident that happened when he was practicing karate, and his body was uncontrollable and couldn't stop.
"There are no side effects similar to taking genetic potions to detoxify the whole body, Mr. Host."
Get! Playing word games with me is losing under the game, I admit it...
Wu Qi scolded and stopped the conversation with the system...
After searching for half an hour, Wu Qi finally saw the familiar scene from afar, and the two-story building was finally found.
Wu Qi quickened his pace to the open space where he practiced karate before, looked around, and found his mobile phone next to a small tree.
Fortunately, it can still be found, otherwise it will be a very troublesome thing to replace the card.
"Huh?"
Just as Wu Qi was about to open his mobile phone to check the missed call, he found that there seemed to be a figure sitting at the door in the direction of the second-story building.
Wu Qi took a closer look:
"Shen Luyao?"
The figure sitting in the middle with his head buried in the crook of his arm suddenly raised his head, it was Shen Luyao.
It's just that Shen Luyao seems to be in a very bad mood at this moment, and anger quickly accumulates on her face.
An arrow stepped forward, and Shen Luyao struck Wu Qi's head with a knife.
This hand knife did not spare any hand because of anger, and the momentum sank!
"Wow! There's something to say. ”
Wu Qi saw that Shen Luyao couldn't help but say that he was going to beat himself if he came up directly, begging for mercy in his mouth, and his body reacted quickly to the side.
"Huh?"
Shen Luyao's inevitable attack was actually dodged by Wu Qi, and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
She was unwilling to give up, and it was another whip leg.
"Huh!"
was dodged by Wu Qi again, what's the situation?
"You first... Ouch yo yo... Lightly, a good man spares his life! ”
Shen Luyao saw that two consecutive attacks failed to succeed, so she simply didn't care about any moves.
Taking advantage of Wu Qi's speech, grabbing Wu Qi's shirt and splitting his head and face was a fan fist, which made Wu Qi protect his head and beg for mercy.
"Say... Die... Go? ”
After the education, Shen Luyao gasped and asked.
"Hmm... There's a hot spring pool over there, I went to soak in it, and I accidentally fell asleep..."
On the way back to the two-story building, Wu Qi found a hot spring pool in the distance, and now he had to use it perfunctory for explanation.
"If you soak in the hot springs, you won't be called back..."
Shen Luyao became even more angry when she heard Wu Qi's explanation, this bastard went to sleep in the hot spring pool, causing several of her to work so hard.
The more I think about it, the more angry I become, and I have to make a move again.
"I lost my phone, I just got it back... I was wrong! ”
Wu Qi saw that Shen Luyao was about to make a move again, so he hurriedly hugged his head, shook the mobile phone in his hand and explained.
Ay... Don't be angry...
Wu Qi is very sad, the self-confidence he gained from learning karate...
Why is it still ending like this...
Why didn't you kill all sides after you became stronger, and seek defeat alone...
But in just a few hours, I was knocked unconscious again, and I was beaten again...
Facing Shen Luyao, I'm afraid it's not a matter of strength, it's a shadow in my heart...
"To wait for you, my aunt and grandmother sat here for a few hours.
Go ahead. How to compensate? ”
Shen Luyao took Wu Qi and walked towards the gate of Dongli Xuan, Shen Luyao was in front and Wu Qi was following behind.
"What do you mean?"
Wu Qi was beaten up much more honestly, bowed down to follow Shen Luyao, and asked flatteringly, the dog's legs looked very vivid.
"It's time for me to turn positive."
"Uh-huh, it should, it should..."
"You have to get a salary, right?"
"Uh-huh, it should, it should..."
"Just add a 5W."
"Uh-huh, huh?"
"How?"
"It's okay, how big... Something..."
...
The night is getting deeper.
After Shen Luyao's fuss, Wu Qi's heavy mood improved a lot...
Remembering my father's deeds and the inner righteousness he upheld...
Is it worth it...
And what do you want to stick to?
