Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 49 Rhett's plan

The same time, the same plot, the same characters, but the feeling from the mouth of the people at that time is a world of difference.Jack thought he was ready to be surprised, but he still didn't expect such a bizarre thing to happen so real.He didn't know if it was because of the alcohol gas, but he felt that his head was starting to feel dizzy again.

"You need to drink some water." After Rhett finished speaking, he saw that his face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to fall off the chair. He thoughtfully brought him a glass of water and watched him tremble. He held the glass with both hands, but drank it quickly.When he took the cup away from his face, Rhett found that his expression had returned to calm, and there was a flash of approval in his eyes.

"It seems that you are right. I shouldn't want to be a good person when I don't understand the situation. I just hope that you can get back together like I thought." Jack reluctantly reviewed his youthful spirit. Sheng, but still didn't give up, "But I'm really surprised, you've been in love for so long, why did you give up when she said you loved you?" He really didn't understand what the handsome man with a calm face was thinking Yes, before he thought he knew the beautiful woman this man loved, but now it seems that he doesn't know any of these two people.For some reason, this made him feel disappointed, but it also aroused his strong longing for love.

"You'll know when you fall in love with someone, Jack." His tone was full of endless vicissitudes, and there was a bit of detached enlightenment. "It takes a lot of effort to love someone. It's not the same as helping someone. It needs to use your inner strength. It's not as simple as reaching out to others in times of crisis. Don't you understand? This is also It's normal, after all, you have never been in love. In fact, it's not just you. There are many people who have never really loved in their lives. They just got married for the sake of carrying on the family line, and their whole life has passed like this. I have exhausted my strength. I've had enough hurt too, and I don't want to take any more risks. You don't know Scarlett, she's a little girl no matter how old she gets, selfish and willful, wants what she can't get, and takes what she gets Lost. It's not that I haven't thought about getting back together with her, and you are not the first person to persuade me, but I really can't imagine that if I am with her again and she still uses my love as a whip to hurt me, I will What do you do, maybe I will beat her to death before I kill myself. I don't want to hurt her, let alone let her hurt me again. So I leave, it's good for everyone. "

"I thought that only the Chinese would pay attention to family inheritance, but I didn't expect Americans to do this too." Jack said to himself first, then quickly reacted and said to Rhett: "Are you willing to just give up like this? ? After 12 years, I didn’t get anything, if I definitely didn’t do it.”

"I've spent 12 years proving I'm a fool and that's enough. I don't want to spend any more time reminding myself that I made that stupid mistake, or even an even stupider mistake again, it just makes me feel so stupid. Failure. Failure once is enough, and I don’t want to fail a second time. If I want to say I’m willing, of course I’m not willing to, but it’s better than giving up completely.”

"Then let me ask you a question, please tell me the truth, and I promise not to reveal it." After Ritter nodded acquiescingly, Jack mustered up the courage to say: "Do you still love Miss Scarlett?"

"I have never stopped loving her since I saw her for the first time." After a long silence, Rhett still spoke the truth in a helpless tone, "It's just that I can't be with her anymore It's two different things, maybe you think it's ironic, love her but don't want to be with her, but other people have no love but live together for a lifetime, but this is the reality, it's not romance, the prince and princess go through hardships in the end lived a happy life.”

"Then what do you plan to do in the future? Marry a woman you don't love, and live the rest of your life in a mediocre way?" Jack asked sentimentally and curiously, not feeling that this question was lacking in consideration, let alone upbringing. "Can you bear that kind of life?"

"Of course I can't stand it, and I don't want to." Rhett replied firmly, with a very firm tone. "I'm not one to wrong myself. Generally speaking, I only hurt others." He smiled at his own humor, but quickly regained his composure. "Although now I find that the gentleman's life in Charleston is not suitable for me, I am still willing to live the exciting life of breaking through the blockade, but I will not go to it again. I am not young, and what I need is stability and peace. Calm. It's normal for you not to understand now, and you'll find out after you've experienced a lot of things that what defeats you is nothing but time."

"No, I think you're quite young." Jack said this completely from the bottom of his heart, maybe people with dark skin look young. "Crossing the blockade is much better than those old gentlemen. No matter how tired you are, just rest for a while and recover. You can't completely deny your past just because of a failed attempt, right?"

"Don't look down on me, Jack. I'm not denying my past, I just want to change it." Rhett retorted, "Maybe what I said is not accurate enough, some things have nothing to do with age, but with state of mind. I have experienced a lot people tend to crave peace, it's as simple as that."

"That means you're still longing for that state of mind of breaking through the blockade, but it's not easy to get it back, but it's not impossible." Jack thought secretly, and the hope that had just disappeared was ignited again. But instead of saying it, he remembered something else, which was closely related to him: "I'm not so easy to deceive, Mr. Rhett. You say you want peace Why are you still going to the north?"

"That's just the last necessary preparation I made to seek peace." Rhett said indifferently, "The specific thing happened a long time ago, and you won't understand if I tell you. Anyway, it's me One last adventure."

"Then can I ask you one thing?" Jack hurriedly took the portrait out of his pocket, handed it to Rhett and said, "Do you recognize the little girl on it? If you do, please You tell me..." His words stopped abruptly, because he saw that Rhett's expression became deep and dignified, and he was still very excited. He interrupted Jack's question and asked him, "Where did you get that?" This portrait?" "At Tara, Mammy had an illness and broke the picture frame, and I happened to be there, so I saved the picture. I feel like I saw this little girl in the north, but I can't think of it." I figured out who she was, and left it. I asked Miss Scarlett, she ought to know, but for some reason she wouldn't tell me. Can you tell me who she is?" "No, at least not now, I have to I will tell you after going to the north for confirmation." "Then can you take me there? I think this should allow me to regain my memory." "Sorry, I can't take you there. Originally, what I did this time was very important. Risky, and those Yankees - sorry, hope you don't get mad - hate me now, because I sold them all out to remake the gentleman. Now add your business, can I live It’s hard to say when you come back.” “Forget it, you don’t want to take risks for me, if something happens to you because of me, Miss Scarlett will kill me.” “Although there are not many things I promised before. In the end, the promise was kept, but this time I decided to honor it." Rhett's expression was a little excited when he heard Scarlett mentioned, but he quickly regained his composure. "I will inquire carefully, and I will definitely help you get back your memory." "Thank you, you are such a good person." "Then you misjudged the person, I am an out-and-out villain."

"You are an out-and-out good and bad guy." Jack invented a word regardless of the grammatical norms, which made Ritter laugh out loud: "Thank you for your compliment, this is the most beautiful truth I have ever heard in my life Cheers to the fact that the truth can be so beautiful!" "Actually, I have another truth, do you want to hear it? No, I have to tell you whether you want to hear it or not. It is a reward for you." "Speak." Rui Te seemed to sense what he was going to say, but he didn't stop it. Instead, under the influence of alcohol or the light, his eyes were terribly bright, with excitement and anticipation that couldn't be concealed. "Actually, Miss Scarlett has always loved you. It's just that she didn't dare to tell you because you didn't believe it. She didn't tell me that, but I can see it. She really doesn't want you because she can't have you." You, but love you sincerely and want to reconcile with you. People who love each other may not be able to be together, but only people who love each other can have real happiness. You will be happy in the future, not separately Happiness alone, but the happiness of two people together. Because you are with each other for happiness."

"Really, I was a sober person when I went out, and I became two drunks when I came back." Scarlett looked dissatisfiedly at Rhett and Jack who were walking staggeringly. There were two puddles of mud in front of her, and she even wondered if the two of them would flow out of their clothes and stain her carpet if they fell down.Jack also told her with a playful smile that everything was fine. It seemed that his usual obedient appearance was all a faux pas, and he only showed his true colors when he was drunk.He even dared to contradict her, saying that drunk people can see things more clearly than sober people, which is nonsense.Rhett is the same, how old is he, and he still gives voice to children, listen to what he has to say. "I'm not drunk, neither is Jack, we are both sober and happy." She didn't bother to talk to them, and said coldly: "The most unbelievable thing in the world is a drunk, especially if they say they are sober Time." After she finished speaking, she went upstairs angrily, but she heard Rhett continue to be angry with her: "That's not necessarily true, dear. Besides, we are really not drunk, are you right, Jack." Scarlett didn't even turn her head. So I didn't see Rhett and Jack's expressions, only heard them laughing."What two fools," she thought to herself.
