Unfathomable

He was uncomfortably playing with the paper boat in his hand, but suddenly he heard Li Zhen calling him.

Li Zhen was already squatting by the river, beckoning to him enthusiastically, "Brother Bai! Come here!"

He walked over and squatted beside him, seeing Li Zhen holding the boat in both hands, closing his eyes, and kissing him tenderly.Then it was gently put into the river, and the water splashed to make the boat drift forward slowly.

He stared at the boat in his hand for a while, then lowered his head and said softly to the little paper boat, "Go quickly, I don't want you to carry such a heavy wish on my back."

Also put in the stream.

The two of them squatted silently for a long time, knowing that they could not see the boat, so they stood up.

But it took too long, and when he exerted force, the numbness on his legs hit him instantly, and the two of them fell heavily to sit by the river.

Bai Qiao rubbed her legs in pain, but Li Zhen laughed happily.

He looked at Li Zhen, as if infected, and smiled.

The street is still slightly cool and peaceful, but there are two more laughter.

When his legs felt better, Li Zhen stood up, turned around and pulled Bai Qiao up as well.

Bai Qiao patted the ashes off her body and saw Li Zhen walking towards the bridge not far away.

He hurried to follow, following Li Zhen's direction, he guessed that he was going to the open space beside the bridge.

A few days ago, he turned here and found that,

Seeing Li Zhen sitting there, Bai Qiao walked over and sat beside him.

"Brother Bai, look." Li Zhen stretched out his finger to point to the bridge, "The immortal led the river from the sky above this bridge, and returned to the heaven here. This place has the most immortal energy, so it must be the most effective."

"Yeah." Listening to the stubbornness in Li Zhen's words, he smiled and nodded.

"Brother Bai, what are you asking for?" Li Zhen put his chin on his knees and asked him with his head tilted.

"me."

"Ah."

"What I ask for, I won't get." He lowered his eyes, looking at the open space between the two of them.

"..." Li Zhen didn't know what to say, so he put down his hand and looked at the small open space with him.

After a long silence, Bai Qiao said, "I really want to know?"

"Brother Bai, if you don't want to talk about that, I..." Li Zhen shook his head in a panic, afraid that Bai Qiao would think that he was taking too much control.

"It's not something difficult to tell. When I was young," he took a deep breath and began to tell his own story——

My father hoped that I could get an advanced education, so he specially invited a gentleman who had returned from studying abroad...

At that time, I was still young, and I read with my husband shaking my head every day. I chatted with famous works from all over the world, from ancient to modern times, and read everything.The husband is knowledgeable and humorous, and every communication with him is the happiest thing at that time.

At that time, my husband taught me that in some other countries, a person can only marry one person at the same time, and if he marries two people, it will be illegal.

This is different from what I usually see—the Ninth Uncle on West Street just married his third concubine.

He also gave an example, saying that just like my parents, in this marriage relationship, each other is the only partner.As he spoke, he pinched the flesh on my face that hadn't faded.

When he said this, Li Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, and the fingertips of Wei Liang touched his warm cheek.

At the same time, Li Zhen muttered jokingly: "It's all gone..."

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and slapped Li Zhen's hand away: "Don't make trouble!"

Then he preached—

At that time, I thought that my father really loved my mother deeply, and that my mother was the only one in this life.I thought my parents were the most "advanced people" and would not stick to pedantic traditions.

We always have fun at the dinner table, laughing and playing in the garden. Although my mother has been inexplicably ill, she is always happy.

Until one day, all tranquility was broken.

That was the summer of my weak crown year.

That day, my husband and I were in the study room on the second floor, and the sound of our parents arguing downstairs, as well as the piercing sound of the broken utensils falling to the ground, I had never heard such a desperate cry from my mother before that, nor had I heard my father Such a savage roar.

I wanted to rush down to see what happened, but my husband came over gently, covered my ears, and said to me:

Bai Qiao, you must remember at any time that in love and marriage, loyalty to one person cannot be let down.

Not long after, the downstairs door was slammed back to the deadbolt. Looking from the second floor, my father quickly got into a car without looking back, and left.

Mother, when I went downstairs to see her, she was kneeling on the ground with a slanted body, with tears hanging on her face and trembling uncontrollably.I was going to be crowned that year and could already hold her.

I hugged her, and my mother didn't say anything, but just hugged me tightly.I guess she has lost the strength to speak anymore.

I didn't know what to say, I thought about it, and I could only say that it was cold on the ground, and I hugged her horizontally without waiting for her to react.

I held my mother's broken glass and walked across the ground, as if I had stepped on the past time and stepped on the broken feelings of my parents.

I hold her on the bed.With tears all over her face, I dare not leave.

I could only sit on the edge of the bed holding my mother's hand and wait for her to fall asleep.

When I went back to the second floor, my husband had packed up my things and planned to leave.

I want to ask to stay, no matter how much I don't know the truth, I can vaguely guess some unusual meanings.I'm afraid I won't be able to handle such a big matter, and I dare not let him go.

But he didn't give me a chance, he put on the scarf, just patted my shoulder, and said: Bai Qiao, remember what I taught you, remember what I said.

He left, and I walked him to the door and watched the car he was riding in dust fly away.

At that moment I was confused and at a loss, the sun was still dazzling, but the bird's cry at the moment seemed to be mocking. I never expected such an unimaginable thing to happen.

The servants began to clean the house, which was ridiculous, as if they had to clean up the wreckage themselves after being swept away by the enemy after a defeat.

I nodded to them, they said nothing, and neither did I.

Only Aunt Li, who has been cooking in my house for more than ten years, hesitated in front of my mother's door with this warm towel.

I walked up to her and took the towel lightly. She patted my hand and walked away with a sigh.

Back to my mother again, I gently wiped away the traces of dry tears on my mother's face.

She whispered in her sleep: You can't marry her, you can't marry her!you can not……

What she said was small and weak, but very desperate.

I couldn't help but tremble when I heard it, and it coincided with my guess, the worst thing happened.

I took my breath to coax her, and I said, it's okay, it's okay, my son is here, and my son is not afraid of anything here...

I don't know if this has played a role. She stretched her eyebrows and eyes in her sleep, and I tried my best-I couldn't laugh anymore, and returned a relieved smile to make myself look more reliable, even though she couldn't see it.

My mother never woke up that day, and my father and I had a big fight over dinner.The first time I yelled at him, I questioned why he married another woman! ?

He was clearly impatient and hysterical.

From his incoherent words, I could tell that my mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to me, which was the root cause of the disease. He felt ashamed of his mother, so he never remarried.Now that I'm going to be crowned, he has already done his utmost to his mother...

I couldn't speak, and I was stunned.

He said in a high-sounding manner that it was all his mother's fault, and since he gave his mother a home, she shouldn't expect anything extravagantly.

He said sentence by sentence, sentence by sentence broke my hope and crushed my dream life.

I seem to be laughing, or not?

I asked him, don't you think you are too ridiculous?The voice trembled involuntarily.

He didn't expect that I would resist his words, so he was furious, and he yelled: You bastard!

Raising his hand, he was about to beat him down—he wanted to use force to tame his son for the first time.

I just felt cold in my heart, and I said, if you slap me, it will not only break my son's heart.

He was taken aback for a moment, but still hit it.It wasn't fast, but it was very loud. My face was burning with pain, but my whole body seemed to be frozen and I couldn't move.

He rushed out of the door, probably because he didn't expect to teach a son like me.

After that day, I never saw my husband again, and I can understand the reason. My father must think that my husband taught me such an "unworthy descendant".

Since then, my mother has been bedridden, and her illness is getting worse every day, and her body is getting weaker and weaker. I have sought out doctors, big and small, but none of them are helpful.

My father still came in and out as usual, but he never came to see my mother. I never studied carefully before why he wanted to sleep with my mother. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was premeditated.

But my father and I are like strangers, under the same roof, but we have no communication. The house has become abnormally cold, not like it should be in summer.

On the night when he married that woman in, my mother was lying on the bed holding my hand, and she told me angrily:

Xiao Qiao, in the future, if you have someone you like, you must treat them sincerely and never bully them, do you hear me?

I don't know how much she suffered and how many tears she swallowed before she even cared about others.

I agreed repeatedly, almost crying. My mother hated me the most, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes.She couldn't reach it, so I lowered my head.

But as soon as she touched the corner of my eye, she stretched out the features on her face shriveled in pain.

She finally laughed, but there was no more sound.

It's so ridiculous that my father spends his days and nights in his embrace of warm and fragrant nephrite, but his mother dies in a dilapidated home.Outside the window is all the beauty that midsummer should have, but inside the window is a person who has lost his home.

I wanted to roar angrily, but I couldn't make any sound.want to……

When he said this, he shed tears softly, choked with sobs, and could no longer speak.

Lizhen was listening to him slowly speaking with a relaxed expression, but suddenly he heard the voice beside him disappear, replaced by sobbing.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhen panicked, searched in every pocket of his body but could not find any paper.But I couldn't just sit there and watch him cry.

He was crying emotionally, distraught, but saw a hand clenched into a ball in the dark night, pulling the fabric beside the cuff, and wiping his tears awkwardly.

He stared blankly at that hand, and suddenly realized that it was Lizhen who was comforting him, and couldn't help but burst out laughing out loud.

The stone in Li Zhen's heart fell to the ground, and his breath slowly eased.

He wiped away the remaining teardrops from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and said mockingly, "Look at me, these are all old things, so there's nothing worth mentioning, it's hard for Brother Li to listen to me talking about this."

Lizhen didn't answer his words, but said, "Lingtang must be a very gentle person."

He took the words, "Yes, my mother is a very gentle person. As far as I was young, I never saw her having sex with anyone."

"Brother Bai..."

"What?" Seeing Lizhen, he hesitated to speak.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just think that Brother Bai will be a good husband in the future, and the family will be happy and happy."

"No." He was silent for a while before replying lightly.

"How could it be? In my opinion, Brother Bai, you have inherited Lingtang's gentle side, and you are well aware of the pedantic persecution, and even more..." Li Zhen eagerly wanted to prove it to him.

"I like men." He interrupted Lizhen calmly.
