Chapter 10 Because I am mortal

Li Heng sighed and didn't continue to speak, anyway, this is still Lu Bo's own family matter, and it's not good for him to talk too much.

After thinking about it, he can only say goodbye now, and if he stays any longer, the atmosphere will only be more embarrassing.

"Okay, then Uncle Lu, I'll go first, you can call me if you have something"

"Okay~"

After Li Heng left, Lu Chengfei's crooked face slowly returned to normal, and then returned to the pot with the bowl, although he was reluctant, he still served a bowl of taro porridge and drank it with a sigh.

Since he was a child, he has never had a good time with this unrelated brother.

On the one hand, the two personalities of them are not compatible, and they are not the same kind of people, so they naturally can't talk together.

On the other hand, he felt that he was not as good as this unrelated guy in his father's eyes, although Li Heng was not very good, but everything was relative.

Li Heng has been a relatively good character since he was a child, and he is still studying fast, so it is not easy to be admitted to university in such a small mountain village.

So compared to himself, Li Heng is a proper "other people's child".

Seeing his father take care of this kid so much, and saying that he is good and promising, he is angry, and his jealousy continues to multiply into resentment.

But this jealousy did not change his essence, he didn't feel that this difference was caused by personal behavior, but he was even more reluctant to make progress, dropped out of school before finishing junior high school to mess around, and didn't get famous after he finished, and later became addicted to gambling.

Playing cards, fried chicken, mahjong, pai gow all day and night...... I haven't learned a lot of crafts in the past few years, but I've been involved in all of them.

After drinking the porridge, he asked as if he suddenly remembered something, "Huh?" Why did he come back at this time? And what did he mean by letting you look for him at any time? ”

Lu Bo replied angrily: "Xiao Heng resigned, and now he is at home."

Lu Chengfei's face shook violently, and a sense of pride and happiness from the bottom of his heart burst out from the bottom of his heart, and then he laughed out loud.

"Hah! Look, what did I say, what is the use of going to college and studying?? Isn't it still gray and falling, how can you be better than me? ”

"Oh, by the way, can he give you money? That's a lot, huh? ”

Lu Bo scolded with a horizontal face: "Do you still want to make a face?!" ”

But Lu Chengfei was already used to being scolded, and he didn't care about his own Lao Tzu turning his face at all, but he came closer and whispered mysteriously:

"Great, have you thought about what you told you last time? The boss is still very sincere, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Boteng stood up and shook his arm: "Are you still fighting that idea?" Hey, little brute, you want to sell my old roots?! ”

……

On the way back, Li Heng silently thought about some things.

He remembered that his father had told him about Lu Bo's life before, saying that he was also a hard-working person in the past, and he was even more miserable than Li Heng, and he didn't have his parents when he was younger, and he grew up in someone else's house.

He has let go of cattle and sheep, planted seedlings and planted wheat, cut rice and weeds, worked as a carpenter and worked as a mason, and has been diligent and honest all his life.

Later, he was introduced to his aunt and married in the brick house he built himself.

Lu Bo is the most standard and traditional template for ordinary working peasant men, and what he wants in his life is nothing more than the most simple ideal from ancient times to the present - marrying a wife and having children to settle down and work.

He never lazy and unworked, never lacked work when buying and selling grain, and would not be short of catties or two when he bought and sold grain, and he would also help others when they were in trouble, but he was an honest and diligent farmer who had been doing good things all his life, but he did not have a good fate throughout his life.

More than 20 years ago, there was a sudden heavy rainstorm during the summer and autumn season, and the water level of the Leishan Reservoir behind was urgent, which may cause flash floods.

However, the reservoir station clerk concealed the cracks in the side embankment of the dam, and when the heavy rain reached its maximum in the night, the water level caused a small collapse below the critical point, and the water directly washed away the duty point in the mountains and forests, where Lu Bo's daughter-in-law was.

Lu Bo was lucky not to be on duty at that time, but tied a stability rope to the mountain rock at the high point next to him, only ten steps away, only three breaths, he watched his pillow person disappear into the flood, and there was nothing he could do.

Afterwards, the crack of the embankment was involved in the construction problem, which was the project of a well-known local road and bridge construction contractor, perhaps it was good to dot up and down, so it was so hard to block the truth, until many years later, the company was about to close down due to poor management, and after entering the bankruptcy review stage, I found this old story from the pile of past materials, and understood that the cause of the accident was to save costs and replace the embankment materials with lower-priced road and bridge materials.

But there is no point anymore, the long-bankrupt enterprise has no ability to pay, the main person who should be responsible has long been nowhere to be found, or because other economic crimes have entered.

These are even more meaningless to Lu Bo, since then he has only left his son, who is just half a year old, his only relative.

However, he worked hard to farm, and the only bloodline he had worked so hard to raise did not bring him any happiness, but only anger, chagrin, and disappointment again and again......

From the consequentialist point of view, Lu Bo's life was a complete failure.

Although he didn't do anything wrong, life or fate didn't favor him.

As an ordinary human being, or an ordinary life, it is so helpless, to be born into this world without warning, to give birth to spiritual intelligence, but not to really control the fate of this life.

Helplessness, pain, sadness, resentment...... Always lingering on the left and right, love parting, resentment, and suffering.

The root cause of this suffering is the difference in cognition and ability, all good things can be illusory in the conception of wisdom, but the reality is so far away, powerless, and exhaustive.

It is precisely because people are mortal!

Li Heng clenched his fists, but now God gave him a chance to get out of this strange circle!

If he is strong enough, he will not have to be dictated by others, if he is strong enough, then he will not give up what he loves, if he is strong enough, then the tragedy of his parents can be reversed, and if he is strong enough, he can ......

As long as he has enough ...... Strong!

All regrets, all pains, have room for reversal.

"Young man!"

Just as Li Heng was pondering, someone suddenly interrupted him.

Li Heng looked up and saw a villager standing on the ridge not far away, looking at him and shouting in surprise: "Why are you still walking in the autumn?" Don't you choke on such a big smoke? ”

"Huh?"

Li Heng looked up blankly, only to find that the smoke around him was the thick smoke from the burning of straw in the field not far away.

After reacting, he felt a little choking, but it was not as strong as he imagined, but his nose and throat were a little itchy, but he quickly covered his nose and ran away.

Running out of the smoke range, he let go of his palm and felt an itch on his nose, only to hear a "bang".

A small puff of black smoke came out of his mouth and nose.
