In the first half of the night, the sweat soaked the clothes. In the second half of the night, the wet clothes pasted on the body, cold and uncomfortable.
Li Yuanwu carefully got up and looked at Li Xian sleeping on the side. Worried that he might catch a cold at night, he took off his coat and gently draped it over him.
"Dad, I didn't sleep." Li Xian suddenly said in a deep voice, then threw down his coat and put it aside.
Li Yuanwu was startled by the sudden sound. He immediately reacted and sighed silently. In this case, it's really incredible if you can sleep in.
"Xian'er, aren't you really going overseas with me?" after a while, Li Yuanwu asked carefully.
Li Xian obviously twitched, clenched his teeth and said, "I'd rather die in Lingang than hide overseas like a dog for a lifetime!"
Li Yuanwu looked gloomy, and the color of struggle slowly appeared on his face. It took four or five minutes to gradually calm down. His back leaned against the wall covered with spider webs, and his voice was dull and abnormal: "xian'er, dad has something to say to you."
As a father, Li Yuanwu tried his best to bring Li Xian back. It is true that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but it is because of this that he sees through Li Xian's futile struggle. However, Li Yuanwu believed his son too much. He didn't realize that he couldn't mention some words in the face of Yu Xian.
Inadvertently, he had sounded the death knell for his own death.
He reached out and touched his pocket. Li Yuanwu took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, pulled out a wrinkled cigarette and held it in his mouth.
Then he took it out of his pants pocket and didn't find the lighter. He simply kept holding the cigarette in his mouth and looked up, with a faint color of memory on his face.
"Your father, I've never been serious. When I was young, I ate, drank and gambled. You should know that. I have nothing to hide. More than 20 years ago, the driver took me under the Tianshui bridge and ran into a woman."
"I don't know if I really bumped into her. Anyway, the woman didn't hurt anything. It seemed that she twisted her foot." Li Yuanwu laughed. "I looked at her through the window. She looked coquettish and dressed cheap and dissolute, but both her figure and face were better than those little girls in Ledu."
"She saw that our car was good. She thought we should be rich, so she wanted to blackmail. If I had put it in the past, I wouldn't be in such a good mood, but at that time, she saw that this girl was very good, so she asked the driver to take her to the hospital." Li Yuanwu said this gently, "Then in the hospital bed, I took care of her. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, you can't blame me. She flew at me and rubbed me with her thigh as soon as she got on the bus. She wasn't idle for a moment."
There was a touch of disgust in Li Xian's words: "why do you tell me this? Do you think I'm interested in your romantic account when you were young?"
His face changed slightly, and Li Yuanwu's voice was low: "xian'er, Dad, there are countless romantic accounts here, but this one is for you. This woman has something to do with you. She is your mother."
"I don't want to hear!" Li Xian sat up straight and fell down beside the bed, gasping.
Li Yuanwu took out the cigarette he bit on his mouth and gently stroked Li Xian's back to calm him down: "when you grow up, you are better than me as a father in all aspects. Some things are better for you to know."
"This bitch became my woman later. I can get together with her seven or eight times a day. She screams when she is crazy, as if she can pierce the roof. I don't know whether I like her or whether she has better service skills. In short, I prefer to be with her and don't want to find those little girls in Ledu. Every time I finish, I will leave it for her For the next stack of tickets, I know in my heart that's what she's doing. What kind of shit love, it's all playing tricks on children. "
"After being with her for about a year, I lost my interest and got a little... Tired of playing. However, she obviously ate sweets here and stuck to me. Later, she said to me on the phone, come to my house. The heartless ones in my house are not here. Let's have a game in my house."
Li Yuanwu smiled: "I didn't know how to do it. Her house was so dirty. It was not much worse than a dog shack. It was greasy everywhere and half a fan of dried bacon hung at the door. However, I had never played in such a place before. She worked hard and tried to seduce me that day. We got involved and tossed for four or five times. I was tired When he was exhausted, his man came back and hit us. "
The body shrank back, and the smile on Li Yuanwu's face slowly sank: "her man is a butcher who kills pigs in the vegetable market. She is tall and big. She practiced boxing for several days when she was young. She directly knocked over the two bodyguards I brought, rushed into the house with a knife, and almost cut my head."
While talking, Li Yuanwu stretched out his finger and pointed to the scar under his eyes: "this is what was left at that time. If you hide more slowly, your father and I would have died."
"Then?" Li Xian turned his head and asked softly, looking at Li Yuanwu with an unprecedented look.
"Later... Later, I slipped out while the bodyguard rushed up and hugged him. I heard the butcher shouting in the house, and then she rushed out and hugged me and asked me to take her away, or her man would kill her alive." Li Yuanwu's face changed, "I was scared and scared at that time. Where could I manage so much? She got on the car with one foot and asked the driver to drive away immediately." "When I got home, the more I wanted to get angry, I found someone to tie the butcher over and beat him to death in front of me. From beginning to end, he didn't ask for mercy. When he was dying, he was crying, which probably meant that he didn't listen to his parents' advice and just married a bitch home." Li Yuanwu took a deep breath and was silent for a long time before whispering: "So the rumors outside are true. It was very popular in the north of Hong Kong at that time. All families used it as a joke and couldn't do it if they wanted to cheat." Li Xian said coldly, "it's boring. Then you married that woman back?" Li Yuanwu frowned, stared at Li Xian and asked, "don't you want to know your mother's name?" Seeing that Li Xian didn't answer, Li Yuanwu sighed softly and continued, "then three or four months later, she came to the door by herself. At that time, I could hear people talking in succession in the family. Naturally, I was very upset. I wanted to drive her out, but she said she was pregnant with my child. I was moved." "At that time, Li Qing was already born. I was not the eldest son at all. If I had no more son, I couldn't compete with Li Yuanwen. Moreover, Li Qizhi always thought that the Li family was thin. I always thought that if I gave him another grandson, maybe he would have a better attitude towards me." "on balance, I let her in, and then naturally gave birth to you." "After having you, I have more rules in my life and work. I remind myself that I am a father all the time." Li Yuanwu smiled with self mockery. "And gradually I also found that I really like her a little. You know, I wanted to cry several times when I saw her feeding you." "The way she looks at you is very different. It's not flattering or flattering. It's pure. At that time, I felt that even if she wasn't recognized by the Li family, it's nothing. I was willing to protect her and accompany her all my life." the corner of her mouth slowly lifted up, and Li Yuanwu looked at Li Xian in a daze, "But you know what? When you were one year old, I got a serious illness. During the examination, I found that I was born with a congenital defect and couldn't have a child at all." Li Xian was shocked by the sudden words, his eyes suddenly widened, and his body shrank back: "what... What?" "xian'er, you're not my son at all, but the seed of her and the butcher!" "Nonsense!" Li Xian suddenly shouted. Obviously, he didn't recover from the sudden blow. He covered his head with his hand, fell directly to the ground from the mattress and wiped all the water stains on his body. Li Yuanwu convulsed from the corners of his eyes and burst into blue veins on his forehead: "Do you know what I did later? I strangled her! I was really mad. She cried and begged me for mercy, saying that there was no other place to go. Everyone around her scolded her as a concubine. If she didn't come to me, she and her baby would starve to death. He also said that as long as I let her and her child go this time, she would treat me well and do something for me "After strangling her, I still wanted to strangle you. But when I rushed to the baby's bed and saw you, i... I..." Li Yuanwu looked up and burst into tears, "I really can't do it. You are clearly my son. Your eyes, eyebrows, nose and mouth are like the Li family. How can you be a wild species? I think you have to call me dad when you grow up. I want to invite the best teacher for you. I want you to live carefree. How can I strangle my son?" With that, Li Yuanwu also held his head, fell on the dirty mattress and cried. Li Xian loosened his arms, slowly raised his head and stared at Li Yuanwu. Tears could not help flowing out of the corners of his eyes: "what do you mean by telling me today? Do you think I'm not miserable enough? Or do you want to show how selfless you are? And then let me cry?"
