Chapter 111: Time is Quiet
Huan'er claimed to be Tu Qitang's wife and was pregnant with a child for him, and the teacher saw that there was a clue to it, and after Huan'er let down her guard, she exposed her lies. A five-month-old child can't deceive people, and this time itself is doubtful, Tu Qitang fell off a cliff half a year ago and was injured, and when he saw the poisonous scorpion later, the poisonous scorpion clearly said that his old leg disease recurred, and it was difficult for the whole person to even move, how could he marry a wife and have children during this period!
Seeing that the lie could no longer stand, Huan'er just cried and had no other way, what she had been worried about day and night finally happened. The happiness she desires does not belong to her after all, Shizhong said what she is most afraid of, not to mention a pregnant woman like Tu Qitang, even the young lady will be extremely infatuated. She didn't have the luxury of being his wife, but the sudden good fortune befell her, how could she resist.
"Huan'er, my Huan'er......" The door behind Huan'er trembled open, and the old man with a haggard face appeared timidly in front of Shizhong, "This adult, don't blame my daughter, don't blame her, I can't blame her ......for this."
"Dad, what are you doing out here?" Huan'er hurriedly stood up straight, stretched out his hands to block the old man, trying to stop him from saying, "You go into the house and rest, it's none of your business here, I can handle it......"
Looking at his daughter, who was still barely supporting, the old man was distressed, held his daughter's hands, shook his head and sighed: "Girl, what doesn't belong to us, it's useless to force it!" People who don't belong to you, what's the point of you staying by your side, he will leave sooner or later, long pain is better than short pain, while your relationship is not deep now, let him leave you early, you can also be relieved as soon as possible......"
"I don't want to, Dad, I can't let him go, why should I let him go, he is my husband, it's mine! He is my person, he will not leave me, I will be doubly good to him, I have the confidence to live a good life with him......" Huan'er cried bitterly, hugged the old man's arm and did not allow him to tell the truth.
"Huan'er, why bother? Why are you torturing yourself so hard, Dad can't bear to see you living so anxiously all day long. ”
"Dad, since you know that your daughter lives a hard life every day, why do you want to stop your daughter from finding happiness, now that I am very happy, I feel that the misfortunes that happened in the past are nothing, I just want to be with him and live every day. As long as I can accompany him through this life, I will be the happiest woman in the world. ”
"But how can you accompany him through his life? Don't you see that his real woman has come to him, even if he doesn't recognize her yet, he will always remember it! People are a couple, you are just pretending, lying about his wife for so many days, he is dedicated to you and me, he is kind to our family, how can we take revenge! Huan'er, you are confused, Dad knows that you are reluctant to leave him, you are looking forward to having such a good husband, but you don't forget the child in your belly......"
"Don't say it, don't say it......" Huan'er seemed to be stimulated, covered her ears with her hands and shouted, "Dad, don't say it, if you really do it for my good, don't say it again." I said that I would not give up, I couldn't part with him, I was his wife, he was my husband, I even gave my daughter-in-law tea, my mother-in-law had accepted me, no matter what others thought of me, I didn't care. Dad, if you still want your daughter to live, shut up, don't say anything, and let me live with him in peace. ”
The old man cried bitterly: "Huan'er, Huan'er, you are really fascinated, do you know what you are talking about?" He is a human being, not a thing, not that you can keep it if you want to, you will only fall deeper and deeper into it, and you will harm yourself and him in the future. You girl, why can't you see it, you're such a big person, you have to learn to let go, no matter how good he is, it doesn't belong to you, you are so persistent and bitter yourself......"
"Yes, we even have children, and whoever wants to stop us from being together will not be able to do so. I will use this child to tie his heart firmly, and we will not be separated. I don't care which woman he has loved before, as long as he is by my side now, as long as he is with us in the future, it is enough. ”
"No, you can't only think about yourself as a man." The old man raised his voice and said loudly, "You have deceived all this, you have the happiness of this time, you should be content, how can you be so greedy!" No matter how much you insist, I will tell him that he is not my son-in-law, my son-in-law ......"
"Dad......" Huan'er snorted, tears rippled in her eyes, "If you say it again, I will die to show you, and your grandson and I will jump into the river......"
"Child, Huan'er, don't do stupid things......" The old man immediately panicked and begged, "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't get excited, you have to think about the child in your belly, don't alarm the fetal ......"
Huan'er ran to the river while crying: "I'm going to find him, I'm going to tell him how much I love him, I have to talk to my mother-in-law, I can't let her listen to what others say......"
"No, you can't go, it's dangerous, it's dangerous there." The old man hurriedly chased after him, but Huan'er insisted on wading through the river.
At this time, Shi Zhongfei, who had not made a sound for a long time, jumped behind Huan'er, gently tapped the sleeping hole on her back, picked her up and sent her back to the house.
"My daughter is fine, she is still pregnant with a child...... "The old man chased after him, looking at the pale Huan'er worriedly.
Shi Zhong took Huan'er's pulse and said, "Don't worry, she is just more emotional, and her body is fine." Just now I clicked on her acupuncture point and let her sleep for a while, which will not affect the child in her belly. ”
"That's good, that's good......" The old man muttered to himself with a cold sweat on his face, "I can't let my daughter and grandson have an accident anymore, otherwise, I won't have the face to see my son-in-law." ”
Shi Zhong asked with a pleasant face: "Old man, remember that when we came back together, you were talking about your son-in-law, and it sounds like you have something on your mind. I don't know what happened between you and your son-in-law? ”
"I, I'm ......" The old man glanced at Huan'er who was sleeping, and said with a bitter face, "I promised my daughter not to talk more, I ......"
"Old man, in fact, I also understand that you are saying that you are all thinking about your daughter. You have a good saying, long pain is better than short pain, instead of letting her live in a fantasy world, it is better to let her recognize the reality as soon as possible, but unfortunately she doesn't understand your hard work, and she doesn't know how to be good for herself and her children. Shi Zhong said earnestly, "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, looking at their daughters who depend on each other for their lives, right and wrong, and live in fear every day, anyone who sees it will not be able to bear it." ”
Shizhong said what the old man was thinking, and he couldn't help but shed tears again: "That's right, parents are looking forward to their children doing well, and Huan'er, this child is really pitiful." Her mother died not long after giving birth to her, I was both a father and a mother to pull her up, she followed me from a lot of hardships, I built houses for the people in the village to live, how much money could I make, often hungry and full. Fortunately, Huan'er is sensible, she never complains in front of me, and would rather go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat than make trouble for me. ”
"Our father and daughter have suffered for more than ten years, and they have never done anything bad. There was a smart and capable young man in the village, and he fell in love with my family, and the two children fell in love with each other. To tell you the truth, he is my son-in-law, after they got married, although life is not rich, but it is much better than before, my son-in-law goes up to the mountains every day to hunt, he is very good at hunting, and he is the most powerful in our village. But who knows, who would have thought ......"
The old man said with red eyes: "Who would have thought that God would be so ruthless, my son-in-law went up the mountain that day, together with the people in the village, to catch the leopard, originally there were so many people, there would be no accident." But when the leopard was wounded, it was like he had gone mad, and he only recognized my son-in-law who had drawn his sword and shot him, and ran after him into the mountains. By the time the others were chasing after me, the leopard was dead, and so was me, my son-in-law......"
Shizhong regretted: "No wonder you always say that Huan'er and their mother and son can't have any mistakes, the child in Huan'er's belly is your son-in-law's last hope." ”
"Yes, that child must be raised well to comfort my son-in-law's spirit in heaven." The old man walked into another hut and came out with a tablet in his hand, "You see, this is my son-in-law, he went up to the mountains to hunt and died, and he has been dead for four or five months." At that time, my daughter only knew how to cry, and she once sought death, but later she knew that she was pregnant with a child, so she barely survived. But I know that she misses her deceased husband, but she also longs to be cared for, to be cared for, to have someone to take care of their mother and son. Therefore, Huan'er didn't mean to be willful, nor did she deliberately want to get along with your young lady, can you forgive her? ”
Looking at the old man's pleading eyes, Shi Zhong hurriedly nodded: "Of course, this is not to blame her, how can we embarrass her!" Old man, don't think too much, just explain the misunderstanding clearly! ”
"Well, yes, if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have known he already had a lover. His mother told us that his brain had broken and that his former wife was gone, so that he would not be sad, she wanted my family Huan'er to claim that she was his wife, and that even the child in her womb was a grandchild. The old man sighed helplessly, "Actually, I also think this thing is ridiculous, but when Huan'er saw him, he recognized him, and immediately agreed." I know that she is lonely in her heart, and even if she knows that this is not appropriate, it is difficult to stop it. I thought that if there was someone who could take care of their mother and child, even if he was nominally the father of the child, my son-in-law would be able to rest assured. ”
"It didn't take long for me to be captured by the officers and soldiers, and I thought that I would never come back alive, and I was glad that Huan'er still had someone to take care of me. But I was rescued again, and along the way I thought that he was now my benefactor, and I must repay him well. However, I don't know why his mother said that your young lady is no longer there, but I think if he remembers it all one day, he will definitely blame us. I didn't know he had a woman before, but now that I know, I can't pretend not to know, I think I should tell him the truth, instead of blindly hiding it and continuing to lie to him. ”
The old man took a deep breath and said, "I think he has been so badly injured that he can't remember the past is pitiful enough, if even his mother and the people close to him have to lie to him, then wouldn't he be even more pitiful." Huan'er and I have received his favor, we can't just think about ourselves, we can't blame him. You saw that just now, too. Huan'er is now confused, and even wants to tie up my son-in-law's child, this is too undeserved, Huan'er is too confused, this child is always my son-in-law's, not his, what she can't forget is just my son-in-law, she shouldn't grab the life-saving straw and not let go. ”
Shi Zhong also sighed: "She still can't accept the accident, she originally looked forward to a happy life with her husband, but she never thought that in the end, she would be separated from heaven and man." So she always refused to face the reality and transferred her love to others, thinking that this would continue happiness, but in fact, it was a dream and a waking day. ”
Hearing the sound of crying, the old man and Shizhong looked at Huan'er lying on the bed, and I don't know when she had woken up and heard their conversation.
"Huan'er, are you awake?" The old man helped his daughter sit up, and said bitterly, "Child, my father didn't want to take away your happiness, but I can't bear to see you deceive yourself!" ”
Huan'er bit her lip, looked at her tearful father, and choked up: "Dad, I know, you have been looking forward to me doing well, how can you be willing to make me sad." It's your daughter who is ignorant and makes you sad. ”
"No, no, Huan'er, you are the most sensible child in the world, but your father has no ability and can't let you live a good life." The old man blamed himself, "I have let you suffer with me since I was a child, and now I still can't protect you, so it's all because my father is incompetent......"
"Don't say that, my father is the most capable person in the world, for so many years, you have supported this family, without you there would be no me. Dad, you are a piece of the sky above her daughter's head, and her daughter is proud of you. Huan'er was finally relieved, smiling and tearful.
"Huan'er? Don't you blame Dad? The old man asked incredulously.
"How can a daughter blame her father? I've finally figured it out now, sometimes it takes more courage to live, but for the sake of the first to go, the only one who survives can choose to be strong. Huan'er caressed her abdomen, and a warm smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "For the sake of my husband, for this child, I can no longer rely on anyone, I will live well." Our family is not separated, we are always together. ”
The old man hugged his daughter and cried loudly: "Yes, our family will be better." ”
Shizhong did not disturb their father and daughter to complain to each other, and after a long time, Huan'er wiped away her tears and looked at him, and said, "I know what I should do, don't worry, I will let him go to see your young lady, so that they can reconcile as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you, Miss Huan'er." The teacher said from the bottom of his heart.
Huan'er lowered her head in shame: "As I told you, I'm not a girl anymore." ”
"Haha, Huan'er is embarrassed." The old man smiled with tears in his eyes, and looked at each other with his daughter, believing that their future life would get better and better.
The moon had sunk in the west, Liu Ye looked at the food that had been cold on the table, without the slightest appetite, she looked out the window, remembering the time when she and Tu Qitang lived on the mountain. It turns out that the best times are long gone.
Regret it? Unwilling? Liu Ye thought about it and shook his head, at least her prayer came true, Tu Qitang survived, he could live the peaceful life he longed for in this remote village, he also married a wife and had children, his wish was to have a child and grow up with the child. He wants to make up for his shortcomings, and he wants to give his children happiness with full fatherly love.
Isn't that great, Tu Qitang is now living the life he longs for, and his wish has come true. It's just why is she sad, is it because his dream is no longer with her? Liu Ye smiled bitterly, the person she loved came back, but she lost her love forever.
Heaven seems to be fair, no one can demand perfection, if she had to choose, she would still insist on exchanging her love for his life. She has been selfish for a long time, she can't let him leave with love, she wants him to live a good life for himself.
If their love is destined to torment each other, then she is willing to sacrifice her love for his happiness. He had sacrificed a lot for her, and it was indeed fair to pay for her now.
After tonight, she won't shed any more tears, not because it's not worth it. He's worth it, no matter what he becomes, he's worth it. He's doing well, so what's not to be satisfied with her? Even if the person accompanying him is not her, she should be satisfied! She knew that he had a beloved wife and children, and that he was living happily here, and from then on, she would be able to rest assured that the person she loved was happy.
I don't know when, there was a faint flute outside the window, the poignant and mournful flute floated in the silent night sky, and the thoughts hit like a tide, it was the jade flute she gave him! I used to listen to this flute, and I only felt sweet and happy, why does it sound so sad tonight!
Liu Ye followed the sound to the winding stream, looked at the familiar back from a distance, and couldn't help but shed tears.
The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, Tu Qitang turned around and looked at Liu Ye shrouded in moonlight, only feeling that it was so beautiful that he would remember it for the rest of his life.
"It's you." Tu Qitang whispered, slowly walking towards Liu Ye, his gentle gaze lingering on her eyebrows.
Liu Ye smiled and nodded, looking at the flute in his hand: "It's very good, I can hear that you are very happy now." ”
"Yes, I'm happy now."
They were at a stalemate for a moment, and Tuqitang said sadly, "I heard that we once met, sorry, I still can't remember you." ”
"It's okay, it's really okay." Liu Ye hurriedly comforted, "I am an old friend who hopes that you will be happy, I haven't seen you for a long time, I was a little worried, but now that I see that you are doing well, I am relieved." ”
"Thank you, I hope you're doing well." Tu Qitang forced himself to retract his gaze, he knew that even if he was reluctant in his heart, he would have to face the upcoming separation, "Then I will play you another song, and it will be regarded as seeing you off." ”
"Okay......" Liu Ye tried his best to keep himself calm, watching him turn his back to her again, intently blowing the jade flute she gave him.
None of them talked about the future, Tu Qitang played attentively, Liu Ye listened quietly, such a good time will never be found in the future.
