Chapter 179: Fang Yuan's Past
"Uncle, please also inform Fang Yuan of the timing of the past! Please!" Gu Xuan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the white-haired old man sitting on the other side with a straight face!
"Alas... He is the real hard-working man!" The white-haired old man sighed lightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and slowly said the deeds of the young man who was suspected of being Fang Yuan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
About 20 years ago, a wealthy merchant moved his family to Luoxia Town, which was far less prosperous than it is now, and the roads were narrow and rugged. After he and his family arrived, he hired craftsmen from the city out of his own pocket to open up the mountain road from Luoxia Town to Xichuan City, and his actions undoubtedly brought a new way out for the residents of Luoxia Town...
After three years of development, Luoxia Town has gradually prospered, although everyone doesn't say anything, but they are very grateful to the rich businessman's family in their hearts. In this year, the wife of a wealthy businessman finally gave birth to a baby boy after November pregnancy, although the baby boy was successfully delivered and was very healthy, but the wife of the rich businessman died due to difficult childbirth. Under the mixture of joy and sorrow, the rich merchant fell ill, and since then he has fallen ill, and he can't do without the medicine stone all year round.
Since then, there have been more rumors outside, some say that the children of rich merchants are the reincarnation of disaster stars, some say that the children of rich merchants are the reincarnation of monsters in the depths of the Lianyun Mountains, and some people come to persuade rich businessmen to throw away their children and marry another room. The rich businessman laughed at these rumors and did not take them to heart. He transferred all his love for his wife to his children, after all, he was the crystallization of his love with her...
The old man paused, took a sip of hot tea, and continued to reminisce about the past.
The kind attitude of the rich merchant changed the opinion of the others, and they also felt that they were not too much, after all, it was only a baby! Although he had been in his mother's womb for eleven months, although he had killed his mother at birth, and though he had been born with a serious illness of his father, he was only a child!
However, Tiangong never seems to have the mentality of adult beauty, just on the occasion of the child's first birthday, the wealthy businessman intends to hold a grand first birthday celebration for the child to dilute the residents' resistance to their son, but it is this celebration that has become a mustard that can never be erased in the hearts of the residents...
After that day, everyone who attended the child's birthday celebration fell ill one after another, and the residents pointed the finger at the child again, and this time, even the rich merchant began to doubt his son. After that, the rich merchants spent a high price and invited countless warlocks to pray for the children's blessings and change their lives, but it was useless, the rich merchants would have poultry and livestock die for no reason every three or five times, and the families couldn't stand the mysterious atmosphere, and resigned and left, and the residents of the town were even more panicked...
A year later, at the suggestion of the loyal servant and housekeeper, the rich merchant decided to marry another family affair, Chong Chongxi, but no girl in the town dared to marry into the original mansion, and later, the rich merchant had to buy back a concubine in the field. Strange to say, after the concubine married into the original mansion, there was no such strange phenomenon as poultry dying for no reason in the original mansion, and the rich merchants and the residents of the town finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just a year passed peacefully, and in the second year, the concubine also gave birth to a baby girl for the rich merchant, and the mother and daughter were safe, and since then, the rich merchant's gloomy face finally saw a smile...
However, as the old man said, Tiangong does not seem to see the rich merchant happy, on the boy's fifth birthday, an inexplicable fire burned down the huge original mansion, after the fire, people found a man and a woman in the ruins, two bones, needless to say that it is the remains of the rich merchant husband and wife, and the two children, because the old housekeeper took them into the city to play, escaped the catastrophe.
In the evening of the same day, the old housekeeper led the second child back, in the face of all this, the old housekeeper collapsed, knelt in front of the ruins, and cried bitterly, the boy was already governor due to his own reasons, and also knelt in front of the ruins, shedding tears of self-blame...
Although the inhabitants feared the boy's ability to bring bad luck, after all, they all accepted the favor of the rich merchant, and after discussion, they raised money to bury the rich merchant and his wife, and then built a small wooden house for the poor old man and the second child on the hill behind the town for them to live in, after which the old housekeeper supported the broken family by collecting firewood and the wages obtained for the people to farm the land.
As the days went by, the little boy and the little girl grew up, and the old housekeeper grew older, and the years of fatigue made him fall into a lot of problems, and he could do less and less work, and the wages he earned became less and less, and in the end, he could no longer support this dilapidated home, so the boy took over the burden of the old housekeeper and shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family.
However, people's hearts are like knives, after the boy went down the mountain, not only did he not earn a penny, but he also suffered a lot of humiliation and white eyes, he has always been a disaster star in everyone's eyes, a demon who has ruined the rich businessmen, but they didn't expect that he, this poor boy, was also the victim of this whole incident...
However, in the face of the residents' harsh steel needles, the boy did not refute, let alone resist, he silently endured the pressure that he should not bear at that age, with his small body, doing the work that others dare not try (climbing the cliff to collect medicine, testing medicine, etc.), and once again supporting the family that was facing disintegration.
"It wasn't until six years ago that the figure of the teenager finally disappeared into the town... Perhaps, the residents thought that the boy had been buried in the belly of snakes, insects, rats and ants!" The white-haired old man's words came to an abrupt end.
As a bystander, the old man finished the experience of the teenager flatly. However, in Gu Xuan's heart, a storm was set off, and Fang Yuan's influence in the past after his death resurfaced in front of his eyes...
"No wonder Fang Yuan is so frugal, no wonder Fang Yuan works so hard, no wonder Fang Yuan is so sensitive, no wonder..."Gu Xuan's voice choked, and he said a few strange things, expressing his thoughts about his deceased friend, expressing pity for his deceased friend's tragic experience in the past, and even blaming himself for his carelessness...
It's just that people are gone, and no matter how much you miss, no matter how much pity, no matter how much self-blame, you are just licking your wounds alone...
"Gu Shaoxia, Gu Shaoxia!" Seeing Gu Xuan's eyes slightly red and whispering, the old man hurriedly called.
It's just that Gu Xuan is still like this, like a magic barrier...
"Alas... Gu Shaoxia, the old man is offended!" the old man sighed lightly, then got up and patted Gu Xuan's shoulder, which woke up Gu Xuan, who was like a demonic barrier.
"I'm sorry, the kid lost his temper!" Gu Xuan wiped his eyes and said with a forced smile.
The old man shook his head with a smile, and then asked, "I don't know, how is he doing now?"
