"Do you know why I named you Tang Shengtian?" Father asked with a smile.

Tang Shengtian shook his head, for an eight-year-old child, not sleeping all night was equivalent to punishment, but he tried to stay awake and write down every word his father said when he was still alive.

My father explained: "Man will conquer the sky, and my father has not read many books, but remember this sentence, you must also remember that man will conquer the sky." ”

Tang Shengtian asked: "Dad, then if people are determined to win the sky, you won't die, right?" ”

Father shook his head: "It takes time for people to win the sky, I don't have time, you still have it, your life is equivalent to your father's life." ”

At that time, Tang Shengtian didn't understand what the continuation of life was.

Tang Shengtian grabbed his father's hand and cried: "Dad, I was wrong, I blame me, it's all my fault, I must avenge you!" ”

Father also squeezed Tang Shengtian's hand tightly: "No, don't take revenge, you are still young, you remember, you have to live, live, remember, live, don't hate your mother, after all, it is your mother, this is a matter between your father and mother, it has nothing to do with you, remember, your father is gone, you have to take care of your mother, filial piety to your mother, you know?" ”

Tang Shengtian couldn't cry: "Dad, didn't you say that good people have good rewards?" Why? Are you a good person? I'm also a good person, I do good deeds every day, Dad, why? ”

Father's hand passed through the railing, hugged Tang Shengtian's face, and wiped away the tears on his face: "Shengtian, remember, to be a good person, you don't necessarily have to do good things, a person who doesn't do bad things is a good person." ”

Tang Shengtian was stunned. Is that so? Is that really the case? Is it redundant to do good deeds?

The next day, when his father was dragged to the execution ground by the prisoner car, Tang Shengtian kept running and crying with the prison car, and he fell down several times during the period, and he gritted his teeth and got up.

He vaguely remembered what his father had been saying that day: "As long as everyone in the world does not do bad things, then there are no bad people, and there is no need to do good deeds every day." ”

Later, Tang Shengtian fainted, and in a blur, he remembered his father's smile and the "good man theory" that his father said was completely opposite to what he had done in the past.

He was an obedient child, so he forced himself not to hate his mother, and forced himself to remain an obedient and filial child.

Of course, he still has to be filial to his father, and he has to send his father on his last journey.

So, at the age of eight, he dragged his father's body out of the city by dragging a cart alone, dug a pit for a day and a night, and after burying his father, he went to ask his husband to write a wooden sign and stand in front of the grave.

At that time, Tang Shengtian was still thinking, maybe the suffering was over, right? In the future, I will no longer do a good deed every day, as long as I don't do bad things.

No, the suffering has just begun.

Soon after, three of his sworn brothers came to his door and told him that they were wrong, that they were ignorant, and that they had done these things with the candy of the lawyer, his mother's new husband.

Since his father's death, they have been haunted by nightmares every night, and it seems that Tang Shengtian's father has turned into a powerful ghost to haunt them, so they decided to save Tang Shengtian from the sea of suffering.

Yes, the sea of bitterness. Because Tang Shengtian didn't live a human life at that time, he lived in a chicken coop in the courtyard, but he didn't think it was anything, because no matter how cold the day was, the poultry, cats and dogs at home would be next to him, keeping him warm from the wind and keeping him from freezing to death.

Who says animals are inferior to people?

Tang Shengtian shook his head and said: "No, I want to be filial to my mother and send my mother to old age, this is what my father said." ”

Du Liguo said anxiously: "Don't you know that your mother is going to kill you?" ”

Tang Shengtian was surprised: "Why?" ”

His sworn brother told him of a horrific plan, which was said by the lawyer, and they could not get over their conscience and decided to save Tang Shengtian.

Tang Shengtian's words sounded in his ears, if you want to live, you must live.

So, Tang Shengtian, who once again chose to believe, left with the sworn brothers, but he didn't expect that when they walked out of the city and came to the dilapidated house, he saw the lawyer, his mother and another big man standing there.

"Is that him?" The big man frowned, and stepped forward to look at Tang Shengtian, "Too thin?" Don't have the strength, it's cheaper, right? ”

Tang Shengtian's mother said: "No matter how cheap it is, you have to have three oceans!" ”

As a result, Tang Shengtian was betrayed again by his biological mother, the adulterer, and three sworn brothers. His three sworn brothers were thus given a pig's knuckle, a chicken, and a jug of wine.

Ironically, the three oceans happened to be Tang Shengtian's father's fortune for a month.

What's even more ironic is that when he was taken away by the big man, he was desperate and numb, and turned his head to see that the three sworn brothers were re-worshipping in the broken house, but this time there was wine and meat.

Why?

What am I doing wrong?

I've changed, I haven't done a single good deed every day, I don't do bad things according to what my father said, why do they still treat me like this?

Tang Shengtian followed Dahan with these questions, and from that day on, he stopped talking.

Not long after, Dahan sold him to a kiln as a handyman, a handyman for life, which is commonly known as Guigong.

The kiln is called "Peach Blossom Spring", an extremely ironic and apt name, because people who come here are just for a moment or a night of temporary peace of mind.

It was also in that kiln that Tang Shengtian met Wang Lu, who was sold here from Guangdong.

Wang Lu's mother is a saltwater girl from Guangdong, that is, a prostitute who specializes in serving foreigners, so her father is a foreigner, which can be seen from her mixed-race appearance, but she never knew what country her father was a foreigner.

And the reason why she is called Wang Lu is because she was born on the road, and her foreigner father once claimed to be surnamed Wang, so she was named Lu.

Because of her beautiful appearance, she had to stop breathing, and the sixteen-year-old Wang Lu soon became the top brand in the kiln, but Wang Lu liked Tang Shengtian, who never spoke, always left him some delicious food, and secretly bought him a sheepskin jacket.

This made Tang Shengtian very moved, so after staying in the kiln for a year and never speaking, he finally said to Wang Lu: "You are the only person who is good to me besides my father." ”

After saying this, Wang Lu's smile appeared on her face, and then she became very exaggerated, and began to laugh, and then she rushed out of the room and shouted loudly: "Dumb speak, I won, you lose, give money quickly." ”

It turned out that all this was just a gamble, and Wang Lu bet that she could make Tang Shengtian speak.

God gave Tang Shengtian a resounding slap in the face again.

That night, Tang Shengtian was beaten and insulted by those who lost the money in turn, while Wang Lu just sat next to him holding his chin and laughing, and winked at him from time to time.

Eventually, Tang Shengtian was stripped naked and thrown in the center of the lobby for the prostitutes and prostitutes to have fun.

He just stood there in a daze until late at night.

In those few hours, Tang Shengtian made a decision, he didn't want to be a good person, he wanted revenge, he didn't trust anyone anymore, so he prepared oil and prepared to burn the kiln on fire at night, and then return to his hometown with his own things, and then avenge his father and himself.

What's next? He didn't think that no matter what, he had to take revenge!

However, when Tang Shengtian was about to light the fire, his hands were trembling, and he remembered his father's words again.

Yes, I have to live, at least for my father. Tang Shengtian turned around and left, giving up the idea of killing people and taking revenge.

From that day on, there was a ten-year-old beggar on the streets of Jiangyang, this beggar did not speak, did not meddle in his affairs, did work when he had work, slept when he didn't work, and lived for a long time.

On Chinese New Year's Eve when he was ten years old, when Tang Shengtian walked back to the broken house with some food he was asking for, he saw Wang Lu, who was pressed by two gangsters and was about to commit violence.

Wang Lu was covered in injuries and her face was full of tears, begging Tang Shengtian to save her.

The gangsters viciously wanted to drive Tang Shengtian away, and told him that Wang Lu was a bitch himself, and asked him not to meddle in his affairs.

Tang Shengtian didn't say a word or do anything, just sat in the corner, numbly eating the food he had begged from his bowl. Opposite him, the two gangsters had gradually approached Wang Lu.

Wang Lu's cries kept reaching Tang Shengtian's ears, and suddenly Tang Shengtian didn't know that he was controlled by something, so he picked up the brick next to him and knocked over one of them, but was kicked over by the other person.

The man took out the dagger, screamed and rushed towards Tang Shengtian, and when he saw that the dagger was about to pierce into his body, a figure flashed in, raised his foot and kicked the person away, and easily knocked the other person who got up unconscious.

Tang Shengtian came back to his senses and looked at the old man in front of him who was dressed like a beggar like him, still expressionless.

Wang Lu sat next to her with her clothes curled up, crying.

The old man picked up the dagger, walked up to Tang Shengtian, and handed the dagger over: "Kill them." ”

Tang Shengtian didn't take the dagger, but just turned around and handed the bowl to the old man.

The old man was stunned: "Give it to me?" Why? ”

Tang Shengtian glanced at the gangster who fell to the ground next to him.

The old man thought, "You want to thank me for saving you?" Is that right? ”

Tang Shengtian still didn't say a word.

The old man smiled, turned around and glanced at Wang Lu: "Then you kill her, she hurt you, she deserves it." ”

Tang Shengtian finally shook his head, sat down and ate the food in his bowl in one bite.

The old man crouched down in front of him and asked, "Why?" Why not take revenge? ”

Tang Shengtian still didn't speak.

The old man said again: "Actually, I arranged all this, I am a god, I think you are pitiful, and I want to help you take revenge, so that you will feel better." ”

Tang Shengtian looked at the old man, and after putting down the bowl, he kowtowed to the old man three times, and finally said, "Thank you, old fairy." ”

The old man was surprised: "Why don't you kill them?" ”

Tang Shengtian asked rhetorically: "Why should I kill them?" ”

The old man frowned: "She has insulted you and made you suffer great shame, and you deserve it." ”

Tang Shengtian smiled: "But after all, she didn't want to kill me, she just wanted to be happy, and the matter has passed, I am me, she is her." ”

The old man got up and took a deep breath: "Is man determined to win the day?" ”

Tang Shengtian raised his eyes and looked at the old man: "No, I don't want Shengtian, I just want to live in peace." ”

The old man frowned: "Even if you don't provoke right and wrong, right and wrong will find you, even if you don't kill people, people will kill you, there is no reason in troubled times, but if you want to know why, you can go with me." ”
