Chapter 147: Hope Dashed

The old Taoist priest said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm afraid you'll mess with someone you shouldn't mess with! ”

The man snorted coldly: "Someone who shouldn't be messed with? What can I mess with who I shouldn't? And you want to say that you are going to tell me that I am doing good? If you want to teach me now, will it be too late? Why did you go earlier? When you abandoned our mother and son, why didn't you think about whether I would be good or evil in the future? ”

The old Taoist priest's face changed several times when he heard this, and finally closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and continued: "It was mine at the beginning, I left your mother and son in order to learn art and become a monk. But now that I really regret it, and it is really for your good, why don't you listen to it? ”

The man sneered a few times, with a bitter hatred on his face: "Do you regret it, can you come back?" Do you regret that I have a home? I don't have anything! I am still the wild child who is beaten and scolded every day, and I am a wild child who has no father! My mother was also bullied to death! I'm good, can my mother come back well? I am good, can all the suffering I have suffered disappear? You say! You say! Didn't you say that in the cycle of cause and effect, good people will be rewarded? That mother eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and is dedicated to goodness, why don't you want her anymore, why will you be bullied to death! The sky has no eyes! Since there is no good result for good, why should I be good? You say! You say......"

As he spoke, the man burst into tears, and although the expression on his face was fierce and inexplicable, his eyes were fragile at the touch of a touch.

The old Taoist priest listened to the man's scolding like a sharp knife poking his heart, painful, and his old eyes were full of remorse, he knew that this was the case, he should not have left this mother and son no matter what.

The old Taoist priest liked to listen to mythological stories since he was a child, and he was envious when he heard the characters in the stories who had become immortals. I always thought that one day I could become an immortal. Twenty years ago, the old Taoist priest accidentally got acquainted with a Taoist priest, the Taoist priest showed a few hands of Taoism, and the old Taoist priest's eyes were full of brilliance, and without saying a word, he worshipped the Taoist priest as a teacher, and promised to follow the Taoist priest to learn the arts. After returning home, he wrote a letter of resignation to his new wife, who had just been married, saying that he had become a monk and let his wife remarry herself. After leaving the letter of resignation, he ignored his wife's pain and retained, and resolutely followed the Taoist priest to leave the home where he was born and raised.

But what the old Taoist priest didn't expect was that his wife was pregnant at that time, and after he left, his wife cried and fainted, and his mother-in-law invited a doctor to see his wife, and found that his wife was pregnant. The mother-in-law was heartbroken when she heard that her son was a monk, but at this time she was very surprised when she heard that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, and she thanked God for leaving incense for their family.

The daughter-in-law Lin is a kind-hearted person, and she was reluctant to kill a good child, so she obediently stayed, planning to raise the child with her mother-in-law. Ten months later, the child landed and was a pleasant-looking boy. Lin and his mother-in-law were overjoyed, and they both hoped that the child would have a future in the future, and the two of them could be counted on. They gave the child a name, called Hope, which means that this child is all their hope.

Hope is a smart and filial child, obedient to his mother and grandmother, only four or five years old to help his mother do housework, take care of grandma, Lin and mother-in-law are very fond of hope, looking at the hope of health and filial piety, they feel that they are also bitter, old and dependent. Lin even eats fasting and recites Buddha on the fifteenth day of every month, thanking God for this precious Lin'er given to her.

What everyone didn't expect was that Lin went out to do needlework one day to earn money for the family, and was taken by a bully in the village. The bully saw that Lin was beautiful and there was no man at home to support him, so he wanted to marry Lin home as his daughter-in-law. The Lin family still has hope for this son, where is he willing, and directly rejected the bully.

The bully lost face and spread rumors in the village that Lin's husband had committed something outside and died outside. When the people in the village heard that Lin's husband was a criminal who had committed a crime, they all spurned their family. I hope that he will always be beaten by other children outside, and those children will scold him for being a wild child without a father, and the hooligans in the village will often take advantage of Lin's beauty when no one is around.

After a long period of oppression, Hope's character gradually distorted, and he asked Lin what his father was, and if he really committed something and died outside. Seeing that Hope was red and about to collapse, Lin finally told the truth and told him that his father wrote a letter of resignation and abandoned his wife because he wanted to cultivate immortals, and followed a Taoist monk to learn art.

I hope that Wenyan hated his father who had never met, since you want to become a monk and cultivate, why did you marry in the first place, why did you give birth to him. Now that they have become relatives, why should they abandon their wives when they have a family? Your mother raised you so much, shouldn't you be filial to your mother, shouldn't you raise your wife and children? Once you're gone, how will the rest of the family live?

The days passed day by day under the bitter hatred of hope, and the wounds on his body became worse day by day after he returned home, and his temperament became more and more gloomy day by day, until one day, the long-accumulated hatred completely broke out.

On that day, Lin and his mother-in-law went out to sell needlework together, but they were blocked by a group of hooligans in the woods near the village.

Where can Lin's mother-in-law endure these hooligans bullying her daughter-in-law, and she is about to hit those hooligans at the moment, where do those hooligans look at an old lady in their eyes, a few people grab the old lady, and the remaining few go up to pick up Lin's clothes. When Hope looked for it, what he saw was the group of hooligans leaving in a hurry, leaving only the grandmother who was bleeding from her forehead and the mother who was unclothed and dying.

Hope roared and rushed over, picked up his mother and was about to send it to Langzhong, but the mother shook her head with tears, touched Hope's head, swallowed her last breath, and her eyes were still full of reluctance. After death, he still refuses to close his eyes. I hope to know, that's called death without turning a blind eye.

After that day, there was one more bandit on Shifeng Mountain at the east end of the village, and one less family in the village. Two years later, the bandit burst into the village with a group of people and slaughtered the entire village, leaving no chickens and dogs behind. The gangsters in the village were dismembered after their deaths, and the death was horrifying.
