Chapter 159: Four Years of Missing
"Eight Geya Road!" The guard is not from the Central Plains, but from Fuso.
After hearing Shaoyu's father's pleading, the guards did not sympathize at all, but looked at Shaoyu's father fiercely, scolded, and forced him to continue working, threatening not to give him food if he couldn't finish his work.
Helpless, Shaoyu's father could only endure the pain of illness and continue to work in the mountains.
"Hurry up, you're grinding here again!" A low-level mercenary guard on the side looked at Shao Yu's father as if he was working a little hard and slowly, raised the long whip in his hand, and whipped it towards Shao Yu's father.
Shaoyu's father was already weak, and he was not sick yet, but now he was whipped like this, and he fell directly to the ground and couldn't get up.
I saw a long red mark on his body. That's the mark from the lash just now. However, Shaoyu's father had no ability to resist at all.
After the hired guard whipped him, he saw Shao Yu's father lying on the ground, and immediately roared angrily, "Bastard, you dare to pretend to be dead, it seems that the whip I just now was still too light!"
As he spoke, the low-level mercenary guard raised his whip again and whipped it towards the man in front of him.
"Smack!" sounded, quite crisp. The whip slashed past Shao Yu's father's back, leaving a trail of red blood at the same time.
He was already thinly dressed, and his back had been torn open with two long cuts.
The long whip is not very smooth, but the kind of long whip of rattan with some small spines. After being beaten a few times, Shaoyu's father's back was already peeled open.
And the pain of being beaten directly made Shaoyu's father faint.
However, those low-level mercenary guards had no sympathy at all, and when they saw Shaoyu's father fall to the ground, not only did they not sympathize, they didn't even care.
What's even worse is that they actually punched and kicked Shaoyu's father, who had fainted, and vented it.
In this way, Shaoyu's father couldn't hold on, and the whole person was unconscious on the ground, motionless, and even his heartbeat became very slow.
But even so, those low-level mercenary guards still refused to let go of Shaoyu's father, and they used Shaoyu's father's laziness as an excuse to directly drag Shaoyu's father to the back mountain.
What kind of place the back mountain is, everyone knows that it is a rather ferocious place, not only the woods are full of rare beasts, but also some strange things, as if they are people, and they don't seem to be people.
Of course, none of these slaves went to the back mountains. Because all the slaves who entered the back mountain died, and there was not a single one left.
"Mother, why is it that my father has been gone for almost four years and has not come back. One day, Shaoyu looked at his mother at home and asked with some loss.
"Your father went to Fusang to make money, and after a while, it is estimated that he will not be able to come back. Although Shaoyu's mother has doubted, lost, and hesitated thousands of times, she must make a strong appearance in front of Shaoyu.
Listening to his mother's words, Shaoyu suddenly frowned and said, "But why hasn't my father sent money back in the past four years?"
Shaoyu's words, all of a sudden, Shaoyu's mother asked that there was nothing to say. At this moment, Shaoyu spoke again, "I heard many people say that Fusang is a very prosperous country, and the people there are very rich and extravagant. Did my father go there, make a lot of money, and then forget about us?"
"Nonsense!" Shaoyu's mother was very angry, so she picked up the broom on the spot and threw it at Shaoyu, "Your father will definitely not be that kind of person, I believe him!"
After being beaten by his mother, Xiao Shaoyu, who was full of grievances, ran to the river alone, looking at the flowing water in the river, his heart was very messy.
Shao Yu was only twelve years old when his father left, and this year, Shao Yu is already sixteen years old. For a sixteen-year-old, it is already the age of the weak crown.
Shao Yu should already be an adult to some extent.
Therefore, after wandering by the river for a long time, Shaoyu finally strengthened his belief and wanted to go to Fusang to find his father.
That night, Shaoyu returned home, looked at his mother who was weaving, and knelt on the ground.
Originally, Shaoyu's mother didn't take it seriously when she saw Shaoyu coming back, but suddenly saw Shaoyu kneeling on the ground, and was immediately stunned, "Shaoyu, my mother beat you today, it's not good for my mother, but you have to believe your father, he is a responsible person and will not forget his roots." ”
"Mother, I know. Shaoyu knelt on the ground, looked at his mother solemnly, and said slowly, "But I haven't seen my father for a long time, I miss my father." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shaoyu's mother burst into tears first. Lovesickness is separated into enmity, if Shao Yu misses his father, then as a wife, how can Shao Yu's mother not miss her husband?
But as a strong woman, Shaoyu's mother still gritted her teeth and survived. With the belief of waiting, Shaoyu's mother survived, and this boil was four years.
In the past four years, Xiao Shaoyu has also grown up day by day, and now he is very sensible.
But today, Shao Yu suddenly knelt in front of him, what was the matter?
"I know you miss your father, but even if you do, you won't see your father. Shaoyu's mother shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"Mother and child want to go to Fusang, go there and get my father back!" Shao Yu's tone was very firm, and his eyes were also very resolute.
"What?" Shao Yu's mother was stunned when she heard Shao Yu's words, "What did you just say?"
"The boy said that he was going to Fusang to get his father back!" Shaoyu said again.
But Shaoyu's mother rejected Shaoyu's request at the first time, "No, I won't let you go to Fusang, you can honestly stay at home for me!"
"Why?" Shaoyu was puzzled why his mother didn't let him go to Fusang to find his father.
"No, I just don't agree, you give me to stay at home honestly, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere. With that, Shaoyu's mother dragged Shaoyu into the room, and locked the door, as if she was afraid that Shaoyu would escape.
This made Shaoyu very puzzled and unhappy. "I just miss my father, I want to meet him, what's wrong with that?" Shao Yu sat alone on the edge of the bed, his hands wrapped around his legs, his eyes full of sadness and loneliness.
In fact, how could he know his mother's thoughts?
