Chapter 194: Retreat
If I want to be a person who doesn't understand anything, I heard him say the story of humans and snake demons, I'm afraid I will scoff at him, and even think he is joking, although there are such stories in TV series, but those are all stories after all, but now it's different, this snake demon is by my side.
When we were all seated, I glanced at her, and she confessed what I meant.
In fact, I just want her to calm down her emotions a little, because the next story is about herself, if there is any conflict, she will be completely exposed when she refutes it in anger, how can there be a person who looks so similar in the world?
She nodded at me, signaling that she would definitely control her emotions, and I was relieved.
Li Hua took a sip of tea: "My father usually talks very little, everyone says that he is a very strange person, and his temper is not good, but in my opinion, this is not the case, I have only my father to take care of me since I was born, although he usually does not smile, but he is still very good to me, although I used to be naΓ―ve and ignorant and still very incomprehensible, and even quarreled with him many times, but he was not angry, but always watched him sit on the chair outside in a daze at night, holding this photo in his hand, It was the first time I had the courage to go over and ask him who he was, because I hadn't seen my mother since I was born. β
I was a little surprised, I thought he was taking care of Li Hua with his wife after he got married, but he never saw his mother after a long time?
I don't know how to speak, if I ask directly, it's a little rude, if I don't ask, I may die, just when I have been doing psychological struggle for myself, he smiled: "Actually, you don't have to feel embarrassed, I still cared at first, and then I got used to it, although I was always bullied when I was a child, saying that I was a child without a mother, but my father was very good to me, and later I learned that I was adopted." β
I was even more shocked when I heard this, this is too different from what I said in the dream, he was a prodigal son in the dream, he didn't care about her sincerity at all, and he said that he was married to someone else at the time, could it be that these are all fake?
Thinking of this, I quickly calmed her emotions, I looked at Xiaoqing's eyes were slightly red, so I quickly touched her arm and asked her to control her emotions, fortunately, she didn't say anything, it is estimated that she has no strength to refute now, and she has no strength to say these words, right?
He continued: "I was sitting next to my father at the time, he didn't notice, he kept looking down at the photo, I took the photo directly, looking at the woman in the photo is very good-looking, but my father was angry at the time, directly took the photo and got angry with me, that was the only time he was angry because of such a trivial matter, he went back to the room alone, only I sat outside and sulked, at that time I thought it must be my mother, but he refused to tell me, there must be something hiding from me, Because I was always bullied in school, I wanted to prove that I had a mother, so I kept pestering my father to tell me who this person was. β
This picture is very real, I think of the picture at that time, and I can understand why he desperately wants to know who the woman in the photo is, after all, his father has always been a very serious person who does not smile, and he is a strange temper person to others, but such a person has a caring woman, and it is obvious that the relationship between this woman and his father is definitely not ordinary.
He thought for a while and said: "Later, I asked almost every day, my father would be angry at first to show me a look, and then it seemed that he was used to it, anyway, he didn't talk about it, no matter how hard I tried to ask him, there was no response, and then I was really angry, so I directly hid the photo, at that time the photo was in this small box, I secretly took it out while he was asleep, and my father was the only one who hit me that time, so this impressed me." β
Speaking of this, he also smiled slightly, and even had a little tears in his eyes, it was not easy for his father to pull him to him, although outsiders thought that his father was a strange and irritable person, but he knew that his father also had a tender side, but he never showed it.
He continued with tears in his eyes: "That time, he was very anxious, he kept looking for photos, and then he asked me if I had stolen the photos, then I must have lied at the time, anyway, I refused to admit that I stole the photos, and he began to beat me, at that time his eyes seemed to be really angry, and I saw him for the first time, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, it was a look of disappointment in me, and then he told me that the disappointment was because I lied, not because I stole the photos." β
I didn't expect him to pay so much attention to the issue of principle, and now my bad opinion of him in my heart has begun to decrease a little bit, and even think that he is actually a very gentle person, but what is going on in the dream, I am still confused, is it possible that these are all fantasized by Xiaoqing, after all, everyone has a different view of others, and they can't figure out what others really think, and sometimes what they see is not true.
He said: "Later, I took out the photo, in fact, he beat me and he felt very uncomfortable, when he looked at the photo and cried, this is the first time I saw my father crying, and it was also the most uncomfortable time for me, so I remembered it for so long, he looked at the photo like a kind of sustenance, I was really stubborn at the time, at this time I asked my father who the woman in the photo was, and he answered me." β
Before I could speak, Xiaoqing immediately asked, "What did you answer?" β
Although Li Hua's eyes were a little surprised, he still said: "He said that this is the person he misses the most, this person is the support of life for him, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have insisted on living for so long, and then I was even more curious about what happened between them, but my father didn't mention it, just told me that he was the person he missed, and didn't say where this person is now, and said that he would tell me when I grew up, and I wouldn't ask anymore after that, I look forward to the day when I grow up to know what their story is. β
Then he went straight to the point and said what happened next: "It's been a long time since my father died, I thought I could wait until I grew up, and then I went to school in college, so he was the only one at home, although I was worried but I still had to go, he had a strange personality and didn't want to communicate with others, so he liked to sit alone at home, and I also asked him to go out and talk to other people, and it was good for him to go out for a walk and play chess at his age, but he just didn't listen." β
Speaking of this, I began to fantasize about this scene, what a lonely person this must be, it is said that people are the most afraid of loneliness, but he is like enjoying this loneliness, at this time Xiaoqing has tears in her eyes, I looked at her a little surprised, Li Hua has been paying attention to her.
Seeing that she couldn't stop her tears, I had to reluctantly explain: "My wife is usually like this, more emotional that's why she looks like this, you must not feel strange, in fact, I also thought it was strange at first, and then I got used to it, as long as I got used to it,"
Li Hua nodded and continued: "When I went back, he was already dying, and when I went back, he had already packed up all his belongings, probably knowing that he would definitely have such a day, so he packed up in advance, and when he went back, he kept lying on the bed, looking like he had lost more than a dozen pounds, he didn't have any wishes before he died, he hoped that I could live a good life in the future, he didn't tell me to work hard, just let me be happy, as long as I live a good life, don't care about other people's opinions, You won't be happy to live in the eyes of others. β
Although I said this to him, I think he also said it to himself, maybe they just cared too much about other people's opinions to miss it, although I may not accept people with snakes, but at least I will not interject and meddle.
He said: "After saying this, he told me a story, in which he was a heinous bad man, who had always played the role of the prodigal son, and he was with a snake demon, and I didn't believe it when he said these things, but he was also a dying man, and it was impossible to joke with me anymore, and I believed him when I looked at him very seriously, but I didn't think that there were really monsters in this world, and he was with my father." β
I don't like to hear these words, originally I thought that there were no monsters in the world, but I myself am a half-demon, and these people would rather accept ghosts than accept monsters, thinking that monsters will always be animals, and animals cannot have feelings, probably because I am now a half-demon, so I have such an idea, I didn't refute, but listened to him continue.
"His encounter with the snake demon is very simple, just like a lot of mythological stories, they met after he accidentally saved a small snake, but he didn't expect that the person he missed day and night would be a snake demon, he said that when he met for the first time, he completely liked the woman, the woman was like a fairy, and her whole body revealed a cold temperament, which seemed difficult to approach, but in fact, her heart was hot, and she was still a kind and simple girl."
If it were me, I would probably fall in love at first sight, who can resist such a fairy-like person?
He continued: "But his first reaction after he liked it was to back down, he felt that he was not worthy of such a person." β
