Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 1858: Between the Staggered Destinies
That afternoon, it began to pour leaching rain, and splashing rain covered the Federal Square in hazy ripples.
Even in the Museum of War beneath the square, within the Great Hall of the Spirit, you can hear the rain of "sand and sand” coming from all sides.
The sound of rain reminds us of the grass that comes out of the earth, which, although tender, is unstoppable.
Tens of millions of spirits are engraved in dark golden ink on the obsidian walls surrounding the entire war museum.
Li Yao, at the end of the high wall, had just engraved it. There were still ink fragrances in the air, found the name, also found a family of three who were celebrating Ying Ling, and entered the information into the information base.
A skinny, plain looking, somewhat indifferent and stubborn woman; another equally plain, somewhat fat, man holding his wife's shoulders all the time.
There was also a tiger-headed tiger-headed little boy with a brilliant light in his eyes, with his head open, drumming his mumps on the count, from top to bottom on the dense, numb, intelligent wall, how many names.
On the spiritual wall in front of a family of three, eight words are very simply engraved:
“Major of the Confederate Army, Herriot. ”
When Li Yao found them, the woman looked back and saw him. Her expression didn't change, but her eyes flashed.
Li Yao felt a little embarrassed, coughed dry and walked forward, even though both sides had already communicated beforehand.
The man knew his identity, appeared to be both impotent and somewhat defensive; the little boy did not know who he was, blinked a few similar large eyes as Herrian, and curiously measured him; the woman was generous, spoke to her husband a few words, and patted her son's head melon, so he would not be inferior to invite Li Yao to speak aside.
“Are you Shen Wenyin, Ms. Shen? ”
"The remarkable contribution of your father, Major Herrenly, in the Star Sea Club a month ago has been proven in many ways. His heroic assault made it possible for the Federation's wormhole bomb to detonate, successfully delaying the crucial two hours, and eventually destroying the Empire's stargate.
“Your father is the key to this battle and the example and pride of the tens of millions of Confederate troops, and will soon come to fruition for his battle merit assessment and rank pursuit, as well as the treatment of martyrs, etc.
“Your father and I... are old acquaintances, and since I know that he still has blood, I want to tell you about it personally. ”
Shen Wenyin silently heard this place. He bowed deeply first and carefully measured Li Yao. His voice was a little dull: “Thank you, Chairman Li, I didn't think you would find me. ”
Li Yao smiled: “It is really hard to find. There is no information about your church in the army. It seems that your father and your church will be separated soon. You have taken another mother's name. It took us a long time to notify you. ”
“I… didn't want to come. ”
Shen Wenyin looked at the families of the victims who had sacrificed their loved ones at a distance, and under his fingers consciously dialed cigarettes that did not exist. He hesitated for a while before hugging them with his arms. He said softly, "Herrian Lei is not a good husband, let alone a good father. I hate him. My mother and I hate him. We just want to run away from him and never see him again, even in this form. ”
“Er...”
Li Yaofei blinked.
Though slightly unexpected, it's not surprising to combine with the last month's assessment of "Mad Dog” Herlenieri in the army.
Shen Wenyin stared at Li Yao in a complicated way: "Chairman Li wants to know about my family, about Hu Lianlian? In fact, it was nothing more than a scarred, lonely and crazy man, and a silly woman who had read too many romance novels and had fantasies of thinking she could ‘save’ this man. It was just a common story.
“However, silly women in stories can often unravel the most deeply wounded men, and live happily ever after, but in the real world...”
She laughed and touched her dry, cracked lips, seemingly putting cigarettes that didn't exist in her mouth.
Li Yao silenced for a moment, whispering: “I have heard colleagues and psychologists in the army say that Major Herren seems to be plagued by a serious mental illness, both due to factors of battlefield syndrome but also due to strong stimuli in the early years... sorry. ”
Shen Wenyin smiled slightly, dumbfounded: “Chairman Li, what do you have to apologize to me? He is too narrow in his heart to pull out in the tip of the horn all the time, what does it have to do with others? ”
"Li Yao said," I always have a strange feeling, but I can't talk about guilt. It's just that before, I never thought that people like Herr Lian Lei would form a family and have their own joy and sorrow and aspirations, all of which would be so... vigorously sacrificed. ”
Shen Wenyin provoked his eyebrows and watched Li Yao's eyes become more surprised and confused. He couldn't help but say: “Chairman Li, you are nothing like ‘vulture Li Yao’ in books, news reports, various propaganda and entertainment works. If you hadn't come to many secret sword bureaux or any special services just now, you would have talked to me for a long time and checked my items with you dozens of times. I wonder if you were fake. ”
Li Yao smiled and scratched his nose: “Since my identity was exposed, it seems like everyone who saw me has said so. Even I thought I was a fake. ”
Shen Wenyin smiled and breathed a long, turbid breath. "Actually, I also have a very strange feeling right now, thinking that decades of things have become real, but yet so vain, such as dreams, how can it not seem true?
“You know, Chairman Lee, there was a time when I hated you and hated you very, very much - that's when Herrian overpracticed, lost his mind, cried and drowned, vomited while holding his stomach, yelled at me and my mother, and clawed his teeth like an animal.
“I was five or six years old, six or seven years old, barely knew anything, and I came across the original legend of 'Vulture Lee Yao’ from all sides, and I knew exactly how my father played a disgraceful role in that legend.
“Of course I can't say what you did wrong, it's all his fault, you're absolutely right, you're the victim.
“But when Herriana tortured herself and all of us so hard that we could barely survive, I, a little girl of six or seven years old, would always be in the middle of nowhere. Without you, there would never have been a 'vulture Li Yao', Herriana did not suffer such a lesson and change, his fate, my mother's fate and my fate, would it be completely different? Can I live a little more normal and relaxed like other kids?
“At least, there won't be any other kids playing ‘war games', playing my dad over and over again when you beat him up, until he vomited, chasing my ass, learning the sound of my dad vomiting!
“A dozen kids studied my dad's vomiting voice together, and it haunted me until a long time later, and I, I could even tolerate what Herrin did to me and my mom, but I just couldn't stand the kind of vomiting that was deliberately faked, and at its extreme, I thought of dying, exactly 97 times. ”
Li Yao blushed, "I'm sorry, I don't think it was wrong, but if I had another chance, I might have chosen another, more... manageable approach. ”
Shen Wenyin smiled again, his face was light and cloudy, like telling the story of another person: “Chairman Li, you must not change your mind, otherwise it would be bad.
“I have cursed myself countless times, cursed you, cursed Herriot, cursed even my mother, cursed my goddamn destiny for making such a big joke with me.
“But one day, when the best thing in the world happened to me, when I met another big man, and then I had another little man, I suddenly felt that the little drip that had happened to me in the past, and even all the good or bad things that had happened in the world before I was born, had its meaning.
“The whole point of all these things was to make me slip so hard in the early morning of the ice and snow that I walked into the middle of the road, fell half numb, couldn't climb up for half a day, and then all the past came to my mind, completely breaking my heart, tearing my heart out like a child, and fainting.
“Just because I cried so rarely, I'm standing on your right hand right now, sneaking up on our big fool to notice, and I fell and ran over to help me.
“Until now, I still remember pushing him away, crying and saying a silly word, I said ‘Go away, my father is Herrian', he was pushed by me and he sat on the floor, touched his head for half a day, his mouth whispered ‘Who is Herren'?
“Oh, I've imagined 10,000 times what a world would be like without you, but if ‘vulture Li Yao' hadn't beaten Herrian and his destiny had completely changed, he wouldn't have met my mother. Even if he did, as his golden egg dude, he couldn't have made a single crossroads with my mother, I wouldn't have been born at all.
“Even if I were born and raised in a different way, I wouldn't be able to walk through the cold streets of the planet that winter morning, and if I did, and unfortunately slipped, I wouldn't cry like a fool.
“Well, I won't know him, I won't own him, they, the three of us together, every day is like a soap bubble, the 'bang’ disappears without a trace, when I think about it, I'm scared to death.
“So, Chairman Li, fate is such a wonderful thing, if it weren't for the conflict between you and Herrian, I wouldn't be in this world, even this tiger head tiger brain, full of crawling little guy wouldn't have been born! ”
