When the old village chief saw everyone leaving, he turned his head and looked at Liu Tian and Wu Fan: "Two little brothers, I have resigned for the time being. I have to make preparations to steal the Dzi Beads."
"Well, sorry for the trouble." Liu Tian's expression was filled with gratitude.
"Haha, it's our Wangjia Village that is troubling these two little brothers." Laughing, the old village chief's body disappeared in front of Liu Tian and Wu Fan like a ghost!
"This..." The pupils of the two people kept shrinking, and it was only at this moment that they realized that the old village chief's cultivation was unpredictable! They were all deceived by his old appearance.
"Brother Liu Tian, wait patiently. It takes a lot of time to set up that formation. It will take at least a day and a night."
The old village chief has gone away, but his voice still echoes.
On this day, a monstrous light appeared around the entire Wangjia Village. It was a huge beastly aura, and it was the old village chief setting up an array.
...
Soon, night comes.
"Liu Tian, are you worried? Just trust the old magician once." Wu Fan's voice came. Liu Tian had been restless and restless since sunset. He was not afraid that the old village chief would not be able to capture the scene of Donghuang. He was
I was afraid that I would not be able to complete the task assigned by the old village chief.
The person he wants to kill is an emperor-level power! It’s an emperor!
If you tell me this, no one will believe it.
Wu Fan's voice came again: "Don't think so much. You won't know until you do it whether it can succeed."
Liu Tian suddenly sighed: "Hey, senior brother, can I lend you your shoulder? I feel really tired."
"Damn it. Junior brother, do you have a special hobby?"
"Don't worry, I won't like men." Liu Tian gave Wu Fan a blank look.
Wu Fan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Liu Tian..." At this time, Wang Ergou's voice came, and Dahei followed him. Wu Fan felt uncomfortable when he saw Wang Ergou, so he made an excuse and went
I practiced elsewhere.
Liu Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly, then asked: "Er Gouzi, what do you want from me?"
"No, it's nothing. I just saw you were in a bad mood. I came here to chat with you."
"That's it. It's rare that you take the initiative to talk to me, so just talk about your life."
Wang Ergou was stunned: "Talk about my life? What's so interesting about my life?" His eyes dimmed for a while.
"Everyone's life is a storybook of ups and downs. You are the protagonist in your own story. You are the same. Tell me your story." Liu Tian said lightly. He just wanted to listen now and didn't want to talk.
"My story...I am the protagonist?" Wang Ergou's eyes flashed, and then he said, "My name is Wang Ergou. I was born in Wangjia Village. My mother was sick all year round, but my father was an alcoholic and
Gambling ghost. When I was a child, no one liked to play with me, and my father didn’t care whether my mother or I lived or died. When I was five years old, my mother was seriously ill and the family couldn’t get rid of the trouble. In order to take care of my mother, I stole from someone else’s house for the first time.
It was the first time I was beaten. After that, every time I went out to steal something, I would take Dahei with me. Sometimes when I was discovered, Dahei would help me block the villagers and let me leave. But, a year later
, my mother still fell seriously ill and died."
"After my mother died, everyone thought I would change my bad habit of stealing because I stole things for my mother. But I let the villagers down and I continued to steal."
"Why?" Liu Tian was stunned.
"Why?" Wang Ergou smiled, "It's very simple. Because my father is not dead yet! As long as he is not dead, no matter how he treats me, no matter how sorry he is to my mother, he will still give birth to me, raise me and give me flesh and blood."
Relative! So, I couldn’t let him starve to death. So he was being collected by the villagers for debts. I asked Dahei to scare those debt collectors. So he had no food and no money, so I went to steal and rob him! Even if he was
The man was beaten with scars! I will repay the debt he owes and the debt I owe!"
His voice was decisive, without any hesitation.
Liu Tian took a deep look at Wang Ergou and found that the old village chief was right. Wang Ergou had a cold appearance but a warm heart.
"What happened next?"
"Maybe it was retribution. The year after my mother passed away, my father also died of excessive drinking. Before he died, I don't know if it was because of his conscience, but he told me that the reason why he was so bad to my mother and me was
The reason why I am addicted to drinking and gambling is because I am not his flesh and blood... I was born to someone else. Before my mother and father got together, I dated someone else and got pregnant unexpectedly. He knew that,
But he didn't say it out loud. He said that he loved his mother deeply, but he didn't know how to treat a woman who although he loved her, didn't tell the truth to him. He said that even if his mother told him that I was not his,
He would also agree to give birth to me and raise me as an adult, but my mother did not. Instead, she always thought that my father knew nothing."
As Wang Ergou talked, tears fell down in big drops. Only he himself knew how tragic his life was.
"Woof!"
Seeing Wang Ergou crying, Dahei stood up and yelled at him, then stretched out his paw to touch his face, as if wiping his tears.
"Dahei, I'm fine." Wang Ergou touched Dahei's head and continued, "Dad does love mother, and it is precisely because of love that he has expectations and therefore hatred in his heart. He expects
When my mother gave birth to me, she told him the truth. He felt that the reason why she did not tell him the truth was because she was worried that he would not want me and would abort me. However, after giving birth to me, my mother did not tell him the truth, and in his heart
He was very angry, but he couldn't bear to attack the woman he loved, so he could only hide this sorrow in his heart, but he still foolishly hoped that his mother would tell him: Qiang'er is not your flesh and blood, but the fate between him and me.
, but I gave birth to it because I couldn’t bear to abort it. My husband, I hope you can forgive me.”
"But as time went by and I got older, my father began to give up. He knew that his mother had no intention of telling him all this. So, he started gambling and became addicted to alcohol, because only drinking and gambling could make him forget.
These troubles! So, he ignored my mother and me."
Liu Tian never spoke, just listened quietly.
"Brother Liu Tian, do you know? I have hated my father since I was a child, because since I was sensible, my mother has always done the housework, and my father only knows how to drink and gamble. I have always thought that my father is the most irresponsible person in the world.
But now, I finally understand why my mother told me not to hate my father before she died and to take good care of him. Maybe my mother knew that she had hurt my father."
Liu Tian sighed. Everyone has their own story and world. If you are not in other people's world, it is really difficult to distinguish right from wrong.
"Er Gouzi, speaking of it, you are the one who has been hurt the most. Both your mother and your father have hurt you. You have resisted all the things they did not dare to bear. Er Gouzi, you still hold grudges now.
Your parents?"
Wang Ergou nodded: "Hate, why don't you hate, they ruined my childhood and my life. But, what can I do except hate. Even if I hate again, they are still my parents, and they will be my parents forever."
I raised them and they didn't die in infancy. Besides, they are not bad people. But since my father died, I gave up my original name and called myself Ergouzi, because I was like a stray wild dog. No one loved me."
"Woof!" Dahei suddenly barked.
Wang Ergou looked at it and smiled: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Even if I don't have my parents, I still have you by my side. You are my relative."
Dahei then nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his tongue and licked his face.
"So, is this why you want to leave Wangjiacun?" Liu Tian spoke again.
"Yes. In the whole village, I, Wang Ergou, am a beggar, a person with a bad past. I am a thief, the son of a drunkard and a gambler. Here, I can only live with Dahei's aloofness.
Alive. But once we go out, I can have a new starting point, a new beginning. I can go to another village. In the new village, everything I have is a blank sheet of paper. No one knows my past.
No one despises my birth. It is enough that I can live happily with everyone and not be excluded. In this way, I can know that I really exist and that I can be recognized by everyone."
Wang Ergou's eyes were shining with light, which was his longing for the future.
That night, Wang Ergou talked a lot. Although he was a cold and aloof child, his heart was indeed warm... very warm. He told Liu Tian that since his father's death, he had never stolen anything again.
He and Dahei found everything he had to eat and drink. He became a thief just for his parents and did something that a son should do but was immoral. But he had a clear conscience.
"Er Gouzi, it's getting late, go to bed. Big brother promises you to try his best to break the seal of the entire village. If it doesn't work once, it won't work twice! If it doesn't work twice, it will work three times! In your lifetime, big brother will definitely take you out and let you go.
You see a new world and have a new beginning. Big brother promises you, unless I die."
"Brother, don't talk about death, Ergouzi believes in you! Dahei, let's go to bed."
There was a smile on Wang Ergou's lips. He seemed to feel a little better after the things he had been buried in his heart were revealed. As soon as he entered the thatched house, Wu Fan came out from the side.
"Why, after listening to it for so long, are you willing to give up?" Liu Tian glanced at Wu Fan and smiled faintly.
"Hey." Wu Fan's expression was heavy.
"What's wrong? It's not like you to be so groveling."
"It's nothing. I just didn't expect Wang Ergou to have such a tragic experience. If I were him, I don't know if I can live as strong as him. My father, who I hated since childhood, was actually a victim in the end. At that time, he knew
After the truth was revealed, his heart must be very complicated. His parents are dead, but he can still live a strong life alone. I really admire him."
Liu Tian smiled faintly: "You are wrong, Ergouzi does not live alone."
Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, then understood: "What you mean is..."
"Yes, it's Dahei. Dahei is his relative. He can live strong until now because Dahei has always been by his side."
