Chapter 197: What She Didn't See
"But...... All the uncles in the family stopped me and said that a dead man ......"
When Li Xiaohu said this, his eyes were red, he stared at Gu Qinghuan tightly, but he was not looking at Gu Qinghuan, his eyes were full of broken pain, and he said in a trembling voice: "A dead man...... Why give her a name? Anyway...... It's useless......"
"So, you compromised?" Gu Qinghuan was unmoved.
"Yes, yes, yesβ"
Li Xiaohu said three "yes" in succession, and then tilted his head and retched, it seemed that it was because of the previous banquet, he didn't eat anything, and all he spit out was sour water.
Maybe it was too painful to vomit, Li Xiaohu's tears were blurred, he raised his head and said with a whimper: "My mother held a knife to her neck, threatening that if I dare to tell the truth in front of the emperor, she will die!" So...... I compromised, I compromised......"
Li Xiaohu knew he was a waste.
Knowing it from a young age.
The brothers will study the family business and do their part for the family.
He can't.
Because his eldest brother is a famous genius in the family, he has known since he was a child that he does not have to bear any responsibilities, he just needs to eat, drink and have fun with peace of mind, and hand over the power to the eldest brother.
Father and mother all deliberately let him have fun like this, for fear that he would rob his eldest brother of something.
After a long time, Li Xiaohu thought that he was a waste.
When he was a child, his father would still dot on him, but when he grew up, his doting eyes slowly turned into disgust, as if he thought that his son was not worthy of him!
Li Xiaohu was puzzled, wasn't everything he did what his father wanted?
Why was my father so disappointed and disgusted with him in the end?
Fortunately, his mother has always loved him, no matter who scolds him for being a waste and not a product, his mother and mother are very fond of him.
In the days when he was looked down upon, Li Xiaohu would feel at ease when he thought of his gentle mother.
Until......
Under Bai Zhi's suggestion, he made the fireworks that could present words.
On the day of success, Li Xiaohu went to find Bai Zhi excitedly, and he was so excited that he even forgot that he had stayed in the mountains for two months in order to study fireworks, and he had become a wild man!
But he didn't care!
He was so happy!
Bai Zhi's idea was right, according to Bai Zhi, he really made fireworks that could manifest words, which was an unprecedented feat!
Growing up in the fireworks family, he deeply understands what this means!
He has been raised as a waste since he was a child, and he understands what this means to him, and he is finally no longer the waste who owes countless to his family and can only suffer silently!
He also has a day to give back to the family! In the future, no one will want to scold him, and use him to sarcastically mock his father, mother, and eldest brother!
However, when Li Xiaohu rushed to the door of Bai Zhi's house full of expectations, he was greeted not by the woman who was as light as a green lotus and smiling as a peach blossom, but a dead silence.
Neighbors passing by told him that Bai Zhi had committed suicide, a month before he returned.
Li Xiaohu didn't know how he went back.
When the family saw his embarrassed appearance, they laughed at him as usual.
Li Xiaohu yelled at them, lighting the fireworks brought back from the mountains on the spot, successfully blocking everyone's mouths!
To this day, Li Xiaohu remembers how shocked those uncles who usually use their nostrils to him after seeing the fireworks that show words, and they can't even say half a word!
Afterward...... Later, he was even received by his ancestors, who could only meet him when he was worshipping his ancestors.
Everyone in the Li family is proud of him and is ready to use this achievement for the palace celebration in the near future.
At that time, everyone will be proud of the name "Li Xiaohu".
Looking at the excited crowd, Li Xiaohu was not happy at all, he even poured a scoop of cold water on those people when the atmosphere was at its hottest, telling them that the fireworks were not his alone, and that the beginning of everything was a woman named Bai Zhi, and he wanted to inform the emperor of the woman's name when the fireworks were lit in the celebration.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Immediately after, his father asked him, who is Angelica Bai?
Ms. Li said Ms. Bai was a widow who lived by the lake and committed suicide a month ago.
When he said this, he was very sad.
However, his uncles, including his father, laughed.
It's like hearing some good news.
Those people smiled and said to him, since this is the case, then cross out Bai Zhi's name, a dead person, why care? The dead don't need a name, the living do.
Li Xiaohu felt extremely cold, although it was already early spring at that time, it was no longer winter, he still felt cold, he wanted to rush out of the house, to the lively street at the door and shout, the fireworks were made by him and Bai Zhi together!
However, he couldn't run out of the door, and his mother stopped in front of him.
His mother, who usually only laughs at him, held a knife with a hideous face, put it across his neck, and said viciously that if he dared to tell Bai Zhi's affairs, he would die in front of him! This fireworks...... It has nothing to do with Angelica dahurica or something! This fireworks...... It was her son, Li Xiaohu, who made it alone!
At this point, the dust has settled.
Li Xiaohu can ignore those uncles and even fathers and brothers who look at him coldly, but he can't watch the blood of his mother, who has been good to him since he was a child, splashed on the spot.
So, during the palace celebration, the fireworks of "Shengshi Taiping" ignited and exploded over the palace, and everyone was shocked, and then they knew that the maker of the fireworks was Li Xiaohu.
That's all.
"White Girl...... White girl, she'......"
Li Xiaohu opened his mouth and said in a choked voice: "The day she died...... It was still a little cold, and I didn't have time to look at the flowers that bloomed in early spring this year......"
He looked up and wept into tears.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place.
Angelica is his sad place.
Over the years, he walked his dog and fought cocks during the day, and was drunk like mud at night, drunk unconscious.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep.
When he was awake, he would always think of the name Angelica Angelica, like a spell, echoing in his mind again and again, making him more and more awake and unable to sleep......
"Count the days, I was still setting off fireworks in the mountains at that time...... If only I had taken her into the mountains...... If only she had agreed to go with me to make fireworks......"
Li Xiaohu's voice was hoarse: "She can see what she said, the fireworks that can show words, and the flowers that bloom in early spring...... Dale...... Don't all women like beautiful things? She's going to love that view......"
Looking at Li Xiaohu, who was almost speechless, Gu Qinghuan stepped forward silently, reached out and took out his handkerchief from Li Xiaohu's arms, and stuffed it into his hand.
"I ...... I owe Sister Bai Zhi a word, but before I could return it to her, she died and was killed. β
Gu Qinghuan looked at Li Xiaohu, his tone was so calm and cold, "Come to think of it, even if I say that sentence to her tombstone ten million times, it is useless, so I am going to do something useful, are you willing to help me...... No, it should be said...... Do you want to do something for Sister Bai Zhi? β
