Chapter 583: My father is a horse bandit
In fact, it's no wonder that Lu Yunxiang will react like this, his biological father, who has raised him for ten years, suddenly appeared in front of him with such a strange image, it is estimated that a child will not be able to accept it.
Not to mention Lu Yunxiang, even Shao Xi and the others felt that the Land Rover in front of them was so strange at this time.
In the past few days, the Land Rover in their eyes has always been the innkeeper who is honest, tolerant of things, and even feels a little guilty.
At this time, standing in front of them was a butcher with a knife in his hand and killing people like a dog, and this extreme contrast in impression made almost everyone's heart suffer a huge shock.
But Lu Yunxiang asked these questions that no one could answer except Land Rover.
Oh, yes! Who the hell is he? Even his own son can't see his true face, so how can anyone else know?
Land Rover seemed to be stunned by Lu Yunxiang's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, Shao Xi spoke.
"We can sit down and talk about these things slowly, the immediate priority is to deal with these dead people, if the leader of this group of horse bandits knows, I am afraid that you will be in big trouble."
Sun Lichang understood this, and hurriedly called his porters and guards to start transporting the corpses of the horse bandits inside and outside the inn to a distant place to secretly bury them, and clean the inn inside and out, leaving no traces.
Whether it's useful or not, you can't let these corpses sit there like this, the smell of blood is so strong that everyone can't eat.
Everyone worked together to drag more than 20 horse bandits, including Li Er Mazi, to the depths of the oasis and bury them, and together they cleaned up the blood stains inside and outside the inn, and even opened the doors and windows to disperse the smell of blood in the inn.
All of this was carried out in a somewhat hurried manner under the leadership of the leader of the caravan guards, while Shao Xi pulled the Land Rover father and son aside and sat down.
He opened his mouth to Lu Hu and asked: "What your son asked you is actually wondering, with the skills of the shopkeeper Lu, he must have been an unknown person back then, why did he fall to this now?" Even if you have something unspeakable, you won't hide it from your son for so long, right? ”
Land Rover glanced at Shao Xi, and then turned his head to look at his son Lu Yunxiang, maybe he knew that some things couldn't be hidden, maybe he felt that his son had grown up, and some things should be let him know.
So he sighed and said slowly: "This matter goes back to twelve years ago, maybe you don't know, more than ten years ago, the famous horse bandits within a radius of more than 100 miles in this desert are not the Wild Sand Gang today, but the Double Tiger Gang, and I am the big boss of the Double Tiger Gang back then."
"Today's big boss of the Wild Sand Gang, Sand Tiger, is the second leader of the Double Tiger Gang back then, and it is also my sworn brother, at that time we crisscrossed this desert, robbing merchants and doing a lot of murder and stealing goods.
"At that time, I was in my thirties, and the sand tiger was only in my thirties, and we were in high spirits, and we felt that we were the masters of this desert, killing people and taking money, kidnapping women and children, and we didn't feel half guilty in our hearts.
"It wasn't until twelve years ago that I met Yunxiang's mother, the daughter of a caravan porter, who traveled with the caravan to the Western Regions and the Central Plains just to earn a living with her father.
"When we plundered a caravan and took her captive into the camp, I saw that she was young and beautiful, simple and virtuous, so I decided to take her as the wife of the village, and she finally committed herself to me in order to save her father's life.
After two years of getting along day and night, she finally made me understand that life in the world is not just for a momentary pleasure, people will eventually grow old, and what they want in the end is just a stability.
So the two of them said that after the birth of the child, I would wash my hands, and from then on I would end this bloody and murderous life, and the family of three would go to live a peaceful life.
"How do I know that when my wife was about to give birth, in order to save Yunxiang's child's life, she unfortunately died, and before she died, she repeatedly told me to let this child grow up peacefully and not to experience my former life again.
So I handed over the Double Tiger Gang to my second brother Sha Hu, left the Double Tiger Gang alone with the remains of the child and the deceased wife, came to this oasis to bury my wife here, and opened this inn with my son.
"I don't know when it started, the Double Tiger Gang changed its name to the Wild Sand Gang, presumably it was the name changed after the Sand Tiger became a big boss!
"Then Li Ermazi should have received the second master under his command after I left, so he didn't know who I was, and I didn't want Shahu to know that I was here now, so I kept reluctantly retreating.
"I have never forgotten my wife's entrustment, I don't want Yunxiang's child to face killing again because of me, but today Li Ermazi actually beat Yunxiang, this is touching my scales, it doesn't matter how he beats and humiliates me, but whoever dares to touch my son, he must die."
Land Rover told his past in one breath, and everyone sighed secretly after hearing it, what a pity for the hearts of parents in the world!
The prodigal son of Land Rover back then turned around, not forgetting his wife's entrustment to pull Lu Yunxiang up alone, and did not hesitate to give up everything in the past in order to let his son have a calm and stable life.
Even if he was bullied and oppressed, he kept swallowing his anger, not wanting this child to know about his father's bloodthirsty and murderous past, let alone letting this child get involved in grievances.
Maybe Land Rover is not perfect in many places, but as a horse bandit leader who once galloped across the desert, now he can do so for his son, who can say that he is not a qualified father?
Maybe his extreme forbearance is so unbearable in Lu Yunxiang's eyes, but isn't Land Rover's reversed life his deepest love for his deceased wife and his son?
It took him ten years to transform himself from a horse bandit into an innkeeper, from a murderous murderer to a submissive and timid father.
No one knows how much he has paid, all he has done is just for Lu Yunxiang, he only hopes that his son will not have those bloody violence in his life, and there will be no murder and cruelty.
His son is his bottom line, if Li Er Mazi hadn't been aggressive again and again, and hadn't hurt Lu Yunxiang today, maybe he would continue to endure like this.
However, Shao Xi can also see that Li Ermazi's persecution seems to have made Land Rover unbearable.
Previously, he begged himself and others to take Lu Yunxiang away, maybe he just wanted to face the Wild Sand Gang alone, since he could no longer guarantee that he could bring his son a stable life, then his minimum requirement was to keep his son away from killing.
If Shao Xi hadn't refused his request at the beginning, if it hadn't been for the three-day sandstorm that intercepted Shao Xi and the others in the inn, Shao Xi couldn't guess what decision Land Rover would have made when facing the Wild Sand Gang.
Maybe he will choose to continue to endure in order to protect his deceased wife, maybe he will go on a killing spree like today after Lu Yunxiang leaves, and never hide it again.
But no matter what, he didn't want his son to endure what he was going to face.
But today, Li Er Mazi made a wrong decision, he actually hurt Lu Yunxiang.
As Land Rover himself said, his son is his reverse scale, he can bear it if he hurts him, but he will not endure it anymore no matter how he hurts his son.
In the end, Land Rover still let Lu Yunxiang see what he didn't want Lu Yunxiang to see, all of which was not what he wanted.
But now that it's all happened, he can only say everything, and it seems that he has made some kind of decision.
After listening to Land Rover's story, Shao Xi turned his head to look at Lu Yunxiang, only to see Lu Yunxiang's face full of shock and incredulity at this time.
It seems that he never thought that his father was the kind of person he hated the most, and he never thought that all his father's grievances and cowardice were because of him.
At this time, the child's self-esteem seemed to have been greatly hurt, and his eyes revealed deep grievances.
"You are not my father, my father can never be a horse bandit, although my father is cowardly, although he is cowardly, although he is afraid of things, but my father has always been a kind man.
"You are not my father, you are a wicked man, my mother will never marry a wicked man, and I will never be the son of a wicked man!"
Lu Yunxiang suddenly shouted hoarsely, he couldn't accept the reality in front of him, he couldn't believe that his father was a horse bandit who was even more hated than Li Ermazi.
He couldn't believe that his father had once been a bloodthirsty madman, a wicked man with blood on his hands.
Although the former Land Rover is a father who has always despised him, made him hateful, weak and incompetent, at least that father has always been a kind person in his heart, a good person who is timid and afraid of things.
But when he knew that everything was different from what he imagined, he couldn't accept it!
He couldn't accept the reality that Land Rover was once a horse bandit, and he couldn't accept that the image of his father in his heart had been so subverted.
At this time, he would rather his father still be the innkeeper who nods and laughs when he sees people, rather than see his father as a horse bandit who is covered in blood and has done all the evil things.
He couldn't accept that he was the son of a horse bandit, because in his little heart, the horse bandit would always be the person he hated the most.
"Shut up! Who are you to blame your father? Why did you erase all your father's devotion to you as soon as you opened your mouth?
"Isn't it because of you that your father is what he is today? A person who has given so much for you, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at him and pick and choose? ”
A woman's voice rang out at the staircase, causing everyone present to look up at the person who spoke.
I saw Aliya and Sun Poyun coming down from the upper floor.
