Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 140 Three Scandals

"I think Bell was desperate at that time. When she begged me to stay, she knew that I would not stay, but she still tried, but I still let her down. Later, I went back again, but Bell didn't know. I saw that Belle's life was not going well, and I offered her money, and she didn't refuse, but Belle was obviously a lot colder to me." When Philip said this, he glanced at Scarlett, as if begging Scarlett to do something The lobbyist in the middle, but Scarlett is more interested in what else happened to Philip.

"I always thought you were a smart person, Philip. I didn't expect you to be so dirty and shameless." Scarlett tried her best to speak softly, but those words were still bloody, accusing Philip.

Philip smiled wryly, and continued: "I left Atlanta and Bell, and I went to the north. At that time, any man wanted to go to the north. Because the north can pan for gold, the government doesn't care, as long as you go, there will definitely be a large number of people. Gold is waiting for you. Everyone is crazy, looking for gold mines, looking for their own gold. I met Rhett there, and Rhett also went to dig gold. But Rhett and I were not happy. Because we We started a fierce fight for the ownership of the mine. This is a fight between two men for wealth and for each other's life." Philip glanced at Rhett, and saw that Rhett was still calm .

Philip continued: "At that time, on the mountain in the north, there was a man's territory almost a few steps away. There, we dug our hopes, and I think Rhett was like this. We were jealous of each other, but we encouraged each other Of course, this kind of encouragement is more of jealousy. Rhett's territory and mine are next to each other. One day, we discovered a common golden vein line. And that line is right between mine and Rhett's territory. We A scramble for ownership of the gold thread has begun, and you don't know about these Scarletts."

Scarlett sighed and said with a sneer: "I think there are some things I can imagine, Philip, your essence has always been deeply in my mind."

Philip continued: "That night, the more I thought about it, the more I felt bad. I couldn't go on like this. I finished smoking the last cigarette, and then I came to Rhett's tent with a kitchen knife. I called Rhett, come out if you want. Rhett came out, but he didn't see my knife. I cut Rhett's stomach with a knife, and a stream of blood spurted out from Rhett's abdomen, and the blood splashed on my body, I felt very exciting When I wanted to do it again, Rhett took out a stick out of nowhere, I think it was the most horrible person I have ever seen, those red bloodstains all over his body." Philip seemed to be unable to continue , and Scarlett's heart had already reached her throat.

It turned out that Rhett spent those years in this way.And what about myself?Scarlett blamed herself deeply. At that time, besides liking money, she loved money, and took Rhett's money as her own, and she was also in love with Ashley.No wonder Rhett's heart turned cold, these were all caused by himself.Scarlett couldn't help sighing slightly.

Philip went on: "I suppose you still have that scar on your stomach, Mr. Butler?"

Rhett laughed, and gently moved the cigar away from his mouth, "That scar has always been there, reminding me how to spend my days."

"At that time, we all fainted to the ground. I really admire Butler's strength to knock me out with a stick in that situation. But when we woke up, someone rescued us, but I know I can't go back anymore, because the Yankee police have found us, and they're going to detain us, saying we're a riot. Of course I have Rhett's scars on my legs and arms." Philip rolled up his sleeves. Those scars are like earthworms, with hideous and terrifying faces.

Scarlett gasped, she wanted to stand up and sit beside Rhett, so that Philip could never hurt Rhett again.

"Philip, you are really a crazy person." Scarlett said sternly.

"It's not his fault alone, it's our fault." Rhett never spoke for others, so Scarlett was very surprised by this statement.Is this still the Rhett I know?

Philip smiled embarrassedly and said: "Since then, I have formed a relationship with Rhett. Jinshan in the north can't go anymore, because Rhett, like a vicious dog, followed me closely, I am not to be outdone. I always look for opportunities to get rid of him, and he always finds opportunities to get rid of me. We have to guard against each other, which is very tiring. And more and more people are digging gold mines, but the resources are getting more and more Less. I'm going to change careers. Of course I dig enough gold to last me a while. But as time goes by, I miss Bell more and more. Whenever I can't sleep, my conscience is like Being stabbed so hard, I felt like I was suffering from depression. I wanted to make up for what I owed Bell, but I didn't know how to do it. As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought of everything Bell had done for me, and my conscience began to feel strongly. condemnation."

As Philip spoke, he showed a painful expression, and that kind of psychological sadness was beyond Philip's control.Rhett knew that feeling, and it was enough to drain a man's self-esteem.

"Later, I went to Dr. Duncan. I told Dr. Duncan that I couldn't sleep at night, and I was thinking about the past painfully during the day. My head was about to split open. Dr. Duncan gave me treatment. He said that I It’s a psychological problem that makes me relax. At this time I saw Jack, this child is learning hypnosis techniques. I saw with my own eyes that a child as young as Jack hypnotized a person who was alive and kicking. I think this is God help me, I got hooked on the hypnosis technique."

When Philip said this, he had no emotion at all, as if the events of those years were just a small episode of his own, but the careful Jack found that when Philip said this, his eyes were full of pain.Of course, Jack would never forget that at that time Philip came every day, pestered him every day, and said that he would support himself in the future.

Scarlett just said lightly: "Philip, what happened next?"

Philip continued: "Later, I wanted to make this technology my own. I was greedy and wanted to take everything. It happened that there was an anti-Chinese riot at that time, and I think you should have heard of it. I took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into Dr. Duncan's house , I searched everywhere, hoping to find the secret recipe for hypnosis. But I didn't expect, everything was destroyed by the anti-China forces. There was only Jack left, and I wanted to take Jack, not because I felt sorry for him, but because I felt Surely Jack will remember that recipe."

Speaking of which, Philip took a deep look at Jack, his face full of apology.Jack smiled slightly, "Mr. Philip, I did lose you during those days, otherwise I really don't know how to live. You know that I have no relatives, and I have no ability to survive at all. You know that I have amnesia. "

Philip sighed: "Yes, child, at first I thought you didn't say it on purpose, I thought I did well enough, you can be moved, and then tell me the secret recipe. But I didn't expect, you are True amnesia. When I finally determined you had amnesia, I dumped you. Jack, I didn't feel any guilt when I dumped you."

"Yes, when I woke up, I found you were gone. No matter how you beat me and scolded me before, I think you are a good person. But you don't want me anymore, I don't know how I will live in the future. I I learned to steal, I just want to survive and see you. Mr. Philip, I have never thought that you are a bad person."

Philip's apologetic expression is enough to see how painful he is: "There are some things that people always regret after they have done it."

Jack quickly said: "Later, I went to the south with many people. The north was really too messy, and the south was relatively better, but I still couldn't remember anything. I started to learn to record things, and I went to The monastery, because the monastery is a good place. But I always can’t eat enough, in fact, many people don’t have enough to eat. Coupled with my amnesia, it caused me intermittent dizziness, and I fainted in front of the Charleston monastery that day , and then it was Miss Scarlett who saved me." Jack cast a grateful look, and Scarlett listened with great interest.It turns out that everyone's experience has been so complicated over the years.

While listening, Scarlett wanted to express some opinions, but at this moment, what she said was superfluous, so she continued to listen.

"I was still wary of Miss Scarlett at the beginning, because I was afraid of being abandoned again, so I was careful in everything I did. I was afraid that Miss Scarlett would abandon me too." Jack smiled, this Looking at Jack, he has the innocence of his peers.

Scarlett couldn't help saying: "Poor child." Scarlett was also surrounded by a kind of guilt, because she really had no intentions for Jack at the time.

Philip continued: "I feel like I've abandoned Jack, I've abandoned Bell, and I'm getting more and more uneasy."

Scarlett sneered at the doctor, her charming eyes fixed on Philip, and her thin lips uttered a sentence: "Philip, you are really a cold-blooded person. I think it is difficult to describe you as a beast."

Philip did not refute, but continued: "I think Scarlett, these are not enough for you to be angry. I want to let you know one thing, in fact, the person I love the most is your mother, Ellen."

Scarlett couldn't help jumping up, and stared at Philip angrily and surprised, with an offended look: "What did you say?"

Philip suddenly laughed loudly: "I mean, the person I love the most in my life is your mother. Your mother Ellen and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were young. We love each other, but I don't know why your mother's family always disagrees. So your mother chose your father. Your father didn't know I existed. Ellen brought me into Robillard as a younger brother. Haha, you don't know about these scandals, right? Your mother, Ellen Lun, who loves me, but gave birth to you with your father. What kind of scandal is this?"
