Chapter Twenty-Nine: Can You Forgive Me?
"Why not pursue it? I won't pursue it for a lifetime, but I've also held my breath for a lifetime, I'm not comfortable in my heart, I just want to investigate! I just want everyone to see that I am not the one who did the wrong thing, so why should I bear the consequences? Why don't people who do something wrong have to pay anything? ”
Old Gu Tou looked at Village Chief Gu coldly, and then looked at the people around him, all of them were accomplices in his eyes. At the beginning, everyone watched their unfair treatment, but they were just cold bystanders, and even those who contributed to the trouble, and none of them said a word of justice.
So what can't be said in these words?
Boss Gu looked at Old Gu Tou in shock at this time, in his impression, his father Village Chief Gu has always been a great image, what happened back then, wasn't it his grandmother's unfair behavior? What does it have to do with his father? But now he looks left and right, and all he encounters is a dodging sight, so what Lao Gu Tou said is true?
Over the years, Boss Gu faintly knew that there might be something between Lao Gutou and his mother, but he always thought it was wishful thinking on the part of Lao Gutou, because he clearly remembered how beautiful his mother was when she was young, so over the years, he was faintly jealous and rejected Lao Gutou, every time Lao Gutou came to his house, he would take his younger brothers and sisters to stop his mother from meeting. But what if the wrong person is not the old Gutou, but the father he respects all the time?
Looking at the various strange eyes around him expressionlessly, Lao Gu didn't even tremble his voice.
"You told me not to pursue it? When you were living peacefully at home, did you ever wonder what kind of life I lived? I'm alive like I drink blood! The only thing that supported me to survive was Alain and my little sister! My mother, that woman, had always valued fame as life! Just for the praise of these people in the village, they can learn from their own children like this! My father, that's a soft egg! ”
"Gu Sheng! How can you say that about your own father?! ”
"You've gone too far!"
"Disobedience and unfilial piety!"
"Unfilial?!"
Old Gu Tou smiled coldly, even though there was a wave of opposition around him, he was not shaken in the slightest.
Under the angry eyes of so many people, Lao Gu Tou actually felt a strange kind of happiness!
"I used to be too filial! I'm used to being wronged, so you think it's okay if I suffer more! Why? I was born in this world, didn't I live a better life for myself, for the sake of being wronged by you? Today, even if there are knives in the sky, I have to say!! My dad, that's a soft egg! Obviously they are all his children, and he can watch the other two pave the way for the one who gave him the first birth! He's a softass! can watch his little son come back with an injury, and choose to turn a blind eye and listen to it! ”
"Although they gave birth to me, they will not determine my life for decades to come!"
"In the more than ten years that I was raised, I have been working early and late for as long as I can remember, and my good big brother, you are studying in the house! Study! I'm not as good as an orphan without a father or mother! ”
Old Gu Tou stretched out his hand, which was full of scars brought by the years. In addition to the calluses left over from the farm work, there were also many scars from swords, guns, swords, and halberds, all of which were wounded on the battlefield.
The villagers who were going to stop him somehow couldn't open their mouths.
"Say, you're going to die, what else can't you say? Tell me...... Answer me! ”
Village Chief Gu was silent for a long time, and Old Gu almost thought he was dead. But at this moment, Village Chief Gu slowly raised his head and looked at Old Gu Tou sadly.
This is his brother, his blood relative. It's a pity that he was too young at the beginning, he only thought that the old Gu Tou would take away everything from him, and he would be afraid of his increasing excellence. will even suffer from gains and losses for the news of the old Gutou.
In fact, it is only now that he gradually understands, what is there to fight for? After all, they are flesh and blood. But he didn't figure it out until today, and it was too late.
"At the beginning, I was supposed to go when I was recruited, but my mother used the method of drawing lots, and you won the long one, so you went. And Alain, Alain ......"
Village Chief Gu seemed to be a little embarrassed, but at the moment, Old Gu Tou would not give up until he got an answer, so he could only bow his head and speak.
"When you left home, I have also reached the marriageable age, Alan wants to wait for you, but her father and mother are unwilling, to marry her to someone else, my mother said that if you come back to find that Alan will be sad to marry, so let me marry Alan first. Later, then I made a mistake, Alain became pregnant, and someone said that you died on the battlefield, so we went on like this. From that time on, Alain already had some mental problems, until you came back and knew the news of your return, Alain was completely insane, almost didn't know anyone, and then you already knew what happened......"
“…… Scold. ”
It was no different from what he imagined, Lao Gu Tou sneered, disappointed in everyone. Especially the woman who called herself a mother, was she abnormal from the beginning? Otherwise, why would you insult him so much?! Wasn't he the woman who gave birth to her in October?
It turns out that the woman really doesn't love her children, only her reputation! This damn reputation! Does she think that's what others think when they praise her for treating her stepson better than her parent? It's just stupid!
Forget it, what he already knew, and now hearing about it would only add to his troubles.
"So, no matter how well you put it, you still robbed me of everything. Don't push everything on that woman, you're a man, what you don't want to do, who can force you? Don't tell me to look down on you. ”
Village Chief Gu took a deep breath, and then nodded solemnly.
"Indeed, it is me who has evil thoughts, it is me who is plotting against you, it is me, I am sorry for you......"
In the second half of the sentence, Village Chief Gu said extremely heavy, he really felt uncomfortable. In this life, he has never bowed his head to anyone, especially Lao Gutou, he thinks that he can always hold his head high and face death with dignity. But I didn't expect that the sky would never spare anyone, and every drink and peck was determined by heaven.
Village Chief Gu's consciousness was already very vague at this time, and when a person was about to die, his words were also good. At the last moment of his life, Village Chief Gu finally confessed his mistakes, and also confessed his jealousy of Old Gu Tou. Everything is peeled off the surface of the camouflage and spread on the ground for others to look at. All his life, he has been suppressing his heart, because he can't think about it, and when he thinks about it, he knows that he owes so much to a person. It left him almost breathless, so many times, he chose to ignore it.
But after being honest about everything, Village Chief Gu finally felt that he had received a trace of redemption. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to reach the wrist of the old man.
"Er, can you forgive me?"
