Chapter 8: The Severed Finger Boy (II)
Finger? Su You thought about it carefully, he has been close to his grandfather since he was a child, and he is together almost every day, his grandfather's hand is obviously good, how can it be a broken finger? However, Su You didn't interrupt Su Li's words, and listened to him continue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You must be curious, because your grandfather's hand has nothing abnormal, how can it be called a severed finger? That's because ......" Su Li paused, looked at Su You and said, "When your grandfather was young, his hands were all six fingers!" ”
Six fingers on both hands?
Su You was also shocked, although deformity is very common in the current society, but to be honest, the life of those deformed people is not easy, many of them can't bear the white eyes of others and choose to end their lives, even if the willed people are stubborn, they are also living in the cold eyebrows of others and live a depressed life.
Not to mention grandpa's era!
Su You seems to be able to imagine how Grandpa Su came over when he was young, could this be the reason why the Su family drove Grandpa Su out?
Su Li continued: "When the seventh uncle was born, only a few people present at that time knew this secret, and the old lady gave a death order, and no one present was allowed to reveal the matter. I thought that with the identity of the young master of the Su family, I could hide it, but as time passed, it was finally leaked out. We have a late reform and opening up here, and we are quite seriously influenced by feudal ideology......"
Su You quietly listened to the story told by Su Li, which was a sad and angry story.
Grandpa Su is the son of Mrs. Su, the seventh in the family, and has been loved by the elders in the family since birth, but when Grandpa Su was eleven years old, the secret that his hands were six fingers was spread. At the beginning, only a few people knew that they were afraid of the Su family's family background, so they just talked about it behind their backs. Within a few days, this form had spread to other villages.
The old people in the other villages all think that Grandpa Su is a monster, in the concept of the older generation, if a monster exists in the world, it is the world that causes trouble, so Grandpa Su can't stay!
So, people came to the door and asked the Su family to hand over Su Laoqi. How could Old Lady Su push her son into the fire pit. dealt with wave after wave, and later, those troublemakers also figured out that the Su family would not hurt their temper, and their arrogance became more and more arrogant, and hundreds of people came together, making the Su family unpeaceful every day.
Until one day, Mrs. Su couldn't stand it, the former Lao Qi came to everyone, and cut off the sixth fingers of Su Lao Qi's hands in front of everyone, blood gushed out, startling everyone, and there was no further talk.
Su Laoqi has been a backbone since he was a child, and he was cut off by his father even if he had a finger, even though his face was pale in pain, and his lips bit out blood, he didn't snort.
Two severed fingers blocked the mouth of Youyou.
Everyone thought that the matter would come to an end here, but in the end, it backfired.
Three months after the finger was severed, the sixth finger of the two hands began to sprout again, and in just a week's work, the finger grew again from the original cut position.
What the hell is this?
I don't know who revealed the news, and many of those people gathered in the Su family's compound again and again, saying that Su Laoqi was a demon and would change.
Old lady Su tried everything she could, vainly trying to use money to buy off the troublemakers, but these people were indifferent, after all, money and life were more valuable than the latter. Money can buy the life of a real man, but it can't shake the villain's desire for life.
The people outside are making such a fuss day by day, the people in the house are busy turning the sky upside down, Lang Zhong comes and goes one by one, and his fingers keep cutting off and growing again, until Old Lady Su begins to doubt whether his son is really a demon as the people outside say! But no matter what, after all, it's his own son, and he can't be burned to death, and no matter how bad it is, he will save his life.
Finally one day, in the heart-rending cry of the ladies in the house, Mrs. Su drove Su Laoqi out of the Su family, and set a taboo, Su Laoqi is a branch, and it cannot be returned unless it is recalled by the family.
Su Laoqi has been brilliant since he was a child, and he can naturally see the change in Mrs. Su's attitude, from the beginning of the vigorous maintenance, to hesitation, and finally to resolutely and decisively drive him out of the Su family, before and after no more than half a month. He was moved by his father's kindness, but he hated his foolishness. There was no resistance, no complaints, and he left the Su family alone, and he left for the rest of his life.
Hearing this, while Su You lamented the tragic fate of his grandfather, he also sighed at the feudal ideology of the old society. There is no way, people live for a lifetime, grass lives for an autumn, it is fate, and no one can get rid of it.
Suri said that he was thirsty, and called for a new pot of hot tea, and drank a few large sips to feel better.
"You were talking about the six-fingered spirit boy before, and the six fingers already know it, but what about the spirit child?" It's not that Su You likes to get to the bottom of things, but it is true that Su Li did not mention the word "spirit child" in his previous words, can it not be strange.
Seeing that his brother was tired, Su Wai spoke for Su Li and said: "Metallurgical family, the important thing is craftsmanship, the same gold mine, some people can smelt ninety percent of gold, but some people can only smelt fifty percent, this is the difference in craftsmanship, and the seventh uncle is completely worthy of metallurgy." Genius', the children of the Su family, when they grow up to the age of ten, they will test their metallurgical talent, to put it bluntly, it is to give you some gold ore, give you skills and tricks, and then let go of your hands and let you complete it alone, and finally look at the amount of alchemy, among all the children of the same generation, the seventh uncle stands out, he is only ten years old, he is called a spirit child, it is said that the old lady almost wanted to pass on his mantle and the huge industry of the Su family to him, but it is a pity that ......"
Speaking of which, Su You already understood. He never thought that the seemingly ordinary little old man in the countryside would have such a net worth background and tragic experience, although he was not his own grandson, but he had been together for so many years, it was not without feelings, when he thought of his grandfather's past, Su You couldn't help but feel sad......
Wait, by the way, I am not the heir of the Su family, and the well-informed Su family will not even know this, so ......
Su You couldn't help but shiver, and looked up at the two brothers of Su Li and Suwai, "Grandpa's matter has been said, now we can talk about our matter." ”
When the two brothers heard it, there was a door! Immediately smiling, Su Wai said: "We just want you to stay and become the head of the Su family." ”
"Aren't you the current head of the house? Why do you want my brother to stay, could it be that you are short of a family master? Jiang Ling said a word next to him, Su You was amused in his heart, this kid can really play a role at a critical moment.
"I'm just the acting boss, I don't count." Suri laughed.
Su You didn't understand it even more in his heart, in terms of qualifications, the two people in front of him were not a little bit older than him, in terms of experience, in metallurgy, he couldn't beat eight poles, I am afraid that the ten-year-old children of the Su family will throw him out a lot, why choose him to be such a "useless" and controversial person?
As if seeing the incomprehension in Su You's heart, Su Li said: "After driving away the seventh uncle, the old lady regretted it, he felt sorry for the seventh uncle, no matter what kind of demon he was, first of all, he was his own son!" All kinds of remorse, depressed, and finally sick in bed, and made a last word before dying, the position of the head of the Su family must be passed on to Su Laoqi, if he is gone, then it will be passed on to his descendants, and the rest of the people are temporarily in charge of the Su family. ”
Su You was unmoved, he had already guessed that he was looking for "Su You" to inherit the family business, but he was asking about another thing, but obviously, the other party didn't want to say it.
"I'm afraid that our Su You is not qualified for this position, our team has been drifting outside for too long, and it is not suitable to return here, so I will disappoint you." Aunt Su opened her mouth and said, she is just such a nephew, she is still brought up by herself, so she is not allowed to be buried in this impoverished ravine, even if it is Wanguan's family wealth, I am afraid that there is no place to spend it, what is the good!
"I'm afraid that Su You's affairs still have to be decided by himself, and we, as outsiders, have no right to interfere." Su Li said in a yin voice, completely devoid of the previous kindness.
"When we can be honest with each other, maybe I can think about it." Su You looked at the two brothers and said lightly, he was sure that the other party must know that he was not really "Su You", and in the case of not being able to figure out the other party's routine, the strategy of delaying the army was essential.
Su Li listened, and gave Su Wai a look, and the other party understood.
"Sister, Jiangling, it's been so many years, and it's the first time you've come back to your home, I'll take you around, it's much better here than you imagined!" Su Wai said with a smile, and when he got up, he was about to beckon Aunt Su and Jiangling to go out for a visit.
Everyone is a person with eyes, you can see the height of your eyebrows, and you know that Su Li has something to talk to Su You, although she is not at ease, but after all, she can't stand Su Wai's persuasion over and over again, and she turns back step by step.
After Aunt Su and the others left, Su Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed to be ready to talk openly and honestly with Su You.
"We know what you mean, but being the head of our Su family is a win-win process for both of us, you can get what you want, and we can also achieve our own goals, why not?"
Su You raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Since you know what I mean, you should have solved my doubts first! ”
"People live for a lifetime, why do you have to figure out everything, sometimes, it's better to be a little confused!"
"There are too many puzzles on my body, if I continue to accumulate, I'm afraid I'll die, so from now on, I will try my best to solve them one by one, and I will have no regrets in this life!" Su You said firmly, raised his eyes and looked at Su Li.
