Chapter 20: Wrong
"I see your brother."
It was already late at night, and with Liu Chong escaping, tonight's matter was over, and everyone went to rest, and Su Bujin entered the dilapidated thatched hut again.
The girl was still huddled in that corner.
This time, the girl saw Su Bujin again, obviously less vigilant than the last time.
After hearing the word "brother", the girl's eyes obviously showed a glimmer of light, and immediately, the girl gently gestured a few words on the ground.
He ...... Are you still ....... ................"
Su Bujin carefully looked at the words that the girl wrote one by one, and immediately smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, he's fine."
After hearing Su Bujin's words, a smile finally appeared on the girl's face.
"However, I guess he should come back tomorrow, and by that time, I can't guarantee whether he will live or die."
As soon as the words changed, Su Bujin shook his head again and said.
Hearing this, the girl's eyes dimmed again.
It seems that the girl still cares about Liu Chong.
"It's not too early, I'll go back first."
With that, Su Bujin turned around and left.
“……”
The girl just looked at Su Bujin until she closed the door and left.
……
After Su Bujin left the dilapidated house where the girl was kept, he didn't go back to the wing room to sleep, probably because he felt that he didn't feel sleepy, so he planned to go around the Liu family's compound.
The Liu family's compound was very quiet in the middle of the night, and there was no one to see, and they were all asleep.
Su Bujin turned aimlessly alone, thinking about today's events in his heart.
What kind of grievances does Liu Chong have with the Liu family?
Why was his sister Liu Xuan locked up in that dilapidated house?
And why did Liu Tianyi hide this matter?
“……..”
Maybe he was in deep thought, and even Su Bujin didn't know how long he had been turning.
"Huh?"
I don't know when, Su Bujin has come to a lake, there is a pavilion in the lake, and I saw a figure standing lonely inside.
At this time, is there anyone who doesn't sleep except himself?
"Who could it be?"
Su Bujin was slightly stunned, and then looked carefully, only to find that the figure was none other than Liu Tianyi.
At this time, Liu Tianyi was standing distracted, his figure seemed to be a little rickety, revealing a little old and helpless.
"Alas......."
With a long sigh, Liu Tianyi turned around, only then did he notice Su Bujin and was slightly startled.
"You're here!"
"The head of the Liu family doesn't have to be so restrained, I'm just going out and walking around."
Su Bujin smiled lightly.
"That's right......"
Liu Tianyi also laughed, but Liu Tianyi's smile at this time was full of sadness and bitterness.
It seems that Liu Tianyi has something on his mind.
Su Bujin stepped forward, came to Liu Tianyi's side, and stood side by side with him.
Neither of them said a word, just silent.
The lake breeze was slightly cool, gently blowing the two people in the pavilion.
"You say, is there such a thing as retribution in this world?"
Liu Tianyi suddenly spoke, with a hint of confusion in his tone.
"Retribution?"
Su Bujin's eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately shook his head and said.
"That's a matter of heaven, we can't control it, and we can't manage it."
"Heavenly Dao? Perhaps......."
Liu Tianyi sighed faintly.
"Back then, my son came back from a trip and brought back a woman, saying that it was his wife, the two had become married, and the woman was pregnant, I didn't think there was anything inappropriate at the time, after all, the child was older, and many things were for them to make their own decisions, so I didn't think much about it, and happily accepted this daughter-in-law.
And this woman is the mother of Liu Zhong and Liu Xuan.
Later, after a few years, she has always been very good, filial piety, gentle and virtuous, very likable, and I am very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
But by chance, I found out that she was a calamity bat, I know very well what kind of existence the calamity bat is, as long as it is related to it, there must be no good end, only the choice of killing her, otherwise the Liu family is likely to be destroyed.
However, since she came to my Liu family, she has been virtuous and virtuous, and she has been kind to people, and there is no so-called disaster that has befallen her, and my son has begged bitterly, so I have compassion and plan to hide this matter.
Still, disaster struck.
That disaster caused my Liu family to lose more than half of their strength, I don't know how many people died, the Liu family's status in Fengcheng was seriously affected, and in the end, I had no choice but to kill that woman.
However, by the time I found her, she had already committed suicide because of self-blame......"
Speaking of this, Liu Tianyi's old eyes were a little moist.
"She's actually a good woman, but it's a pity that she's a Calamity Bat......"
Seeing that his clansman and son died in front of him due to the disaster, and his daughter-in-law committed suicide due to guilt, in fact, Liu Tianyi was the saddest one.
But as the head of the Liu family, he can't show it, so he can only hide the pain silently in his heart.
There is too much helplessness in this world, and only when we encounter it, we find our weakness, we can only watch, but we can't change anything at all.
"It's a pity........"
Su Bujin sighed lightly with some emotion, he didn't expect that the Liu family would have such a past incident back then, after listening to it, it was indeed very touching.
Is Liu Tianyi wrong?
In order to protect his son and daughter-in-law, he concealed that his daughter-in-law was a calamity bat, just so that the two of them could live happily and peacefully, and he was a qualified father.
He worked hard for the family, dedicated his life, and even regretted sacrificing his daughter-in-law and driving his own grandson out of the house, he is a qualified head of the family.
He's right.
Is Yanagi wrong?
Since his parents died when he was a child, and he was kicked out of the family, it was not easy to survive, shouldn't he hate the Liu family?
And he wasn't wrong.
In this matter, no one is wrong, it's just that there are too many innocent sacrifices, too many people who have died because of this incident, whether it is the Liu family who died due to the disaster back then or the twenty-three people who are now killed by Liu Chong, they could have not died, but they became victims because of Liu Tianyi and Liu Chong's selfish desires.
The price is too great.
"I'm a sinner, I'm sorry for the Liu family, I'm sorry for Liu Chong's mother, I'm sorry for Liu Chong, I'm sorry for anyone, everything is my fault, my fault ........"
Two lines of hot tears were left on Liu Tianyi's old face, but the old man who had supported the Liu family for most of his life was now crying silently.
“…….”
Su Bujin didn't speak, nor did she comfort Liu Tianyi, she just stood quietly.
A person's emotions need to be vented, and if they are vented, it will be fine.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you that, it made you laugh."
Finally, after a long time, Liu Tianyi wiped her tears and smiled reluctantly at Su Bujin.
"It's okay, Master Liu, although the past can't be changed, but the mistakes can be made up."
Su Bujin glanced at Liu Tianyi deeply, and then turned around and left without staying long.
"If you really feel guilty in your heart, then go and make amends, it's not too late."
Su Bujin suddenly paused, said a word without looking back, and then her figure left here.
All was silent again.
"Make up for it........"
The silver moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the lake, illuminating Liu Tianyi's face.
His face was wrinkled, his eyes were sunken, and his skin was dry.
He's old, really old.........
