Chapter 16: The Abyss

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, took a sip of wine, and smiled helplessly: "My mother has nowhere to go, and she is pregnant, so she has to go back to Qinglou, because there are friends there, so I can help her." Later, when I was born, my mother couldn't afford to support me, so she had to let me go to that house to earn a living. They don't look down on me, they treat me like a subordinate, for the sake of my mother, for the sake of living, I can endure it. Later, my father's family committed a crime, and the whole family was punished, because I was nominally an adopted son, so I was pardoned and came here for the entrance examination. ”

Yuan Wailang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then what happened to your mother?" ”

Director Su lowered his head, and it took a long time to spit out two words: "Gone..."

For a while, the air fell into a stagnancy, and everyone didn't know how to comfort him, but Master Su raised his head again, and said in the same casual tone as usual: "It's all over, my mother was killed by them, and they said that if others knew that I had such a mother, I would definitely not go far." As you may have guessed, the final downfall of the Su family was also fueled by me, and I joined forces with distant relatives to find evidence of their guilt and push the man out. But I didn't want innocent people to be implicated, so I went around it, and finally changed from the destruction of the clan to the pardon of all innocent people, etc., and I saved a lot of lives. ”

When he said this, his tone was ordinary, as if he were speaking the most ordinary kind, but there was the deepest sadness in his eyes, like ice that could not be dissolved, and could not be dissipated no matter what.

Maybe no one would have thought that behind this chic looking man, there is also such a bleak past.

Chengyun listened to what he said, and remembered his experience, and couldn't help but nodded: "On the surface, the scenery of the family is infinite, but how many people can know about the darkness hidden behind the scenes?" I was born into a large family that was in full swing, and I had always taken everything I had for granted, until someone else handed me the charges to my doorstep, and I realized how many people's blood I had on my hands. ”

Master Su looked at her, but he was more serious than ever: "You don't need to feel guilty about their mistakes, it's their fault, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Chengyun smiled gratefully: "Thank you, but I don't want to excuse my mistakes, I know I'm guilty, so I just want to atone for my sins and wash away the blood on my hands." I know I may never get another chance, but I'll do my best. ”

Xue Langzhong thoughtfully patted her shoulder, and his voice was still so gentle: "We can't choose our origins, our past, but we can choose what path we will take, whether to walk in the sun, or to be with the darkness forever." As long as you have good thoughts, you can say goodbye to the past, and besides, it is their past, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

For a while, Chengyun didn't know what to say, just nodded vigorously. Xue Langzhong looked at her, as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he just sighed: "To be honest, as a child of a poor family, I don't have a good impression of those noble relatives of the family. I have two older sisters, both of whom are no longer alive, and who were killed by those beasts..."

When the outsider heard this, he immediately shouted: "Me too!" But I have no sisters, my mother only had one child, and she was sold by her family to an old man as a concubine, and died shortly after giving birth to me. Those people always bullied me and used me like a dog, and then I escaped and was sponsored by a private school teacher, which is why I am today. ”

It turns out that everyone has such a complex story behind them. They look at different temperaments, look ambitious, or always look arrogant and reckless, but in their hearts, there may be unknown corners, like eternal scars, tugging at people's heartstrings.

Xue Langzhong stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, looked up at the sky, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red: "My father is a county official, he has some ability, and marrying a wife is also considered a local nobleman, but he has never had a son, but unfortunately his wealth is not enough, so he sold his eldest daughter to a rich businessman for money, married my mother, and also had me." As soon as I was born, my mother fell seriously ill due to childbirth and passed away soon after, in fact, all this is also because she has a knot. She conceived a child in October and gave birth to a child hard, but she had to leave it to her eldest mother, which became her heart disease. My eldest mother was very good to me and never treated me harshly, but her daughter was very miserable, the eldest daughter died of depression, the younger daughter married a petty official, and later died in childbirth, and the eldest mother was stimulated and was gone. ”

When Yuan Wailang heard his story, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really not easy for a mother to give birth to a child, taking the biggest risk but getting the smallest return." Those people only care about giving birth, but they never raise them, they just push everything on the woman, and they just sit back and enjoy it, and they think how capable they are, I just think it's ridiculous. ”

Master Su also smiled a little sarcastically: "So, I won't be with any woman, I want everyone to be free to fly in the sky and be their own bird, I don't want them to be bound and hurt, I want to see their happy smiles." ”

Chengyun nodded, but then, he sighed: "I admire the realm of adults, but even if we choose to retreat in a negative way, it still can't change their survival situation, and we can't change their fate of being locked in a cage." We ourselves grow lonely and may end up finding that things only get worse. ”

Master Su suddenly smiled, and smiled helplessly: "I know, I know that my resistance is completely meaningless, but at least I don't want to cut off the path of these women with my own hands, I don't want to repeat the path I have walked, I don't want to watch my mother's wish fall through, I can only do what I can, even if it is a lifetime of loneliness, it is better than pushing others into the abyss." ”

It's a pity that even if you don't get pushed into the abyss, you will jump into it. Even if you know that there is a cliff in front of you, even if you know that jumping down is only a dead end, you will still jump down without hesitation, nothing else, just because life is full of cliffs, and there is never life.

But such words don't make any sense now, and they are just asking for trouble. This world has never been changed with just a lot of blood, even if the original intention is good, but unfortunately there are no chess pieces in the hand, even if there is a skill to the sky, it is only a waste chess after all.

In the face of such a world, how can the tragedy of a man and a woman be reversed by not intersecting with men?
