Xiang An still did not choose to spend the night outside by himself. Instead, he returned to the village and showed Zhi Xiang, who had returned to his compact appearance, to Xiang Liang.
"Where did you find this?" Xiang Liang pinched Zhixiang, looking nostalgic, with curiosity... and guilt in his eyes.
"It flew over by itself and then changed into this. It turned out to be very big."
Xiang An gestured to see how big his original Zhixiang was.
Xiang Liang wasn't thinking about what Xiang An was doing next to him, or...he was a little afraid to look at Xiang An standing opposite.
Xiang Yu stood beside Xiang Liang with his chest in his arms, sighed slightly, and glanced at Xiang An invisibly.
"Xiang An, here." After thinking for a while, Xiang Liang handed Zhixiang to Xiang An again.
"Ah? Uncle, don't you want it?" Xiang An was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took Zhixiang's hand.
"I...I don't want it, let's talk about it later." Xiang Liang shook his head with a complicated expression, looked at Xiang Yu, and then at Xiang An.
After thinking for two seconds, Xiang Liang lowered his head and sighed, pinched the shoulders of Xiang Yu and Xiang An, and raised his chin.
"Let's go out and talk."
The two brothers looked at each other and followed Xiang Liang out of the house, leaving a confused Zijuan standing or sitting in the house.
Xiang Liang walked in front of the two brothers. It was already dark outside. It was a cloudy day today, with no moon or stars. The only light was a few torches in the village.
Sitting on the bluestone steps at the door, Xiang Liang turned his back to the two brothers and could not see his face clearly.
"Xiang Yu, Xiang An, do you have any thoughts on what I'm doing now?" He suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Before Xiang Yu could speak, Xiang An shook his head.
"I don't have any idea, I just think that this is indeed what uncle would do." Xiang An took two steps forward and sat next to Xiang Liang, "But if what you said, uncle, is right or wrong...
..”
"From the perspective of our Xiang family and our Chu, it is absolutely right." Xiang Yu sat on the other side of Xiang Liang with an expressionless face. "Right and wrong have always been just a way to whitewash war. Ordinary people have nothing to do with it.
When it comes to identifying the purpose of war, whether it is right or wrong has always been the opinion of the winner."
"We are all citizens of the Central Plains. We can look at many problems from the perspective of leaders. What we must do before we can get the answers is to get our hands dirty." Xiang Liang lowered his head and looked at
His calloused hands couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "A clean big shot can't live here for too long..."
Suddenly, he clenched his hand, raised his head and looked forward: "But - that's not what I want to talk to you about today."
"Xiang Yu, Xiang An, you two... miss your dad?"
"...Huh?" Xiang Yu and Xiang An were stunned at the same time.
"...Uncle, why do you ask this suddenly?"
"I just feel... you brothers lost your father at that age, and you haven't seen your mother since you were very young. She has been with me since she was sent back to the Xiang family. Because I am usually busy,
There are too many things to do, and I didn’t even ask you about this..." Xiang Liang said incoherently, with a slight panic on his face that could not be seen clearly, "So I just thought, you brothers...
...Do you miss your father?"
"Uncle, if you say that..." Xiang An scratched his head, "If you say you don't want to... then it is definitely impossible, and I have talked with my eldest brother many times. Father
My whereabouts, the disappeared memories of me and my eldest brother, and...my and eldest brother's physical fitness is obviously different from ordinary people, etc., I have talked about it, right eldest brother."
Xiang Yu nodded: "Maybe it's because the memory has disappeared. Xiang An and I miss our father... but we don't have any other special feelings."
Xiang Liang was silent for two minutes, and finally sighed, stretched out his two hands, and touched the heads of the two young men who were taller than him.
"You...you are all grown up and sensible."
"Although I have adopted you all these years, I have never cared about you particularly, and now I want to bring you into the war..."
"Uncle, it's better not to say such words now." Xiang Yu suddenly patted Xiang Liang's shoulder, "This is not what the uncle should say now."
Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu blankly, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the determination in Xiang Yu's eyes.
"Yeah...why would I say such a thing..." His eyes dimmed a little, and he waved his hand, "Okay, you two, get out of here."
,I...sit here by myself for a while."
Xiang Yu nodded towards Xiang An, and the two brothers glanced at Xiang Liang, stood up and left.
Xiang Liang listened to Xiang Yu and Xiang An's footsteps drifting away. After confirming that the brothers had left, he raised his head and let out a long breath.
In the sky, the thick cumulus clouds dispersed, revealing a bright moon, which seemed to be an eye staring at Xiang Liang sitting on the ground.
"Brother, actually I don't care whether those two brats miss you or not."
Xiang Liang put his hands behind his back, looked at the bright eyes in the sky, and whispered.
In his mind, he thought of the mechanical bird Zhixiang held by Xiang An, and the mechanical bird that his brother showed to him when he was a child.
"I'm not young anymore, and I'm planning to start a war this time... To be honest, I don't plan to survive, I plan to go crazy in the end." Xiang Liang lowered his head again, "Now it seems that when I accepted
I killed these two boys and said I would take them to the southwest to find you... Isn't this just pure fart..."
"I...are really not suitable to be a parent..."
Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely long silence.
"......elder brother."
"Are you still alive?"
Xiang Liang burst into tears before he noticed it.
"I miss you, brother."
He raised his head and saw that the moon in the sky was about to disappear again.
Xiang Liang didn't cry, he just shed tears and looked at the sky and his half-closed eyes.
"If you are still alive, go home, brother."
"The third child doesn't see you very much. He doesn't miss you, but..."
"I really miss you..."
"elder brother......"
...
"Do you think dad will find us?" Zijuan's voice came quietly from the bushes.
"If you keep talking, you might be discovered." Xiang Yu's voice was right next to her.
"Oh! Stop talking! It seems that uncle is leaving!" Xiang An gritted his teeth.
But I saw Xiang Liang crying under the moon, wiping his tears, standing up, and planning to turn around and leave, as if he was going to sleep.
The three brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief and planned to stand up and sneak away.
"Oh!!!!"
“Pfft——!!!”
"Ugh——!!!"
Xiang Liang's two fists were smoking. He looked at the trembling Zijuan and gritted his teeth.
