Chapter 17: Separation and Separation

"Marriage, if it's not heaven, is hell." It comes from an old German saying.

Perhaps love is blind, but marriage has regained its sight, so no matter how vigorous the love once was, it will disappear in smoke one day?

Is it really?

However, isn't there another saying called "separation due to understanding"?

However, Du Yusheng felt that his parents seemed to be neither, or both.

In the execution ground of hell, there was no one around except for two figures, only piles of terrifying white bones on the ground and ghosts floating around.

The black crows flying randomly in the sky are more than ten times larger than the human body, and they keep making ominous calls, disturbing the hearts of the listeners.

"Thank you."

Yu Po whispered to the man who supported him to walk.

At this time, the skin all over his body was cracked and bleeding, every wound showed deep bones, and even the flesh turned up, which was shocking.

Moreover, it was difficult to move, and I was panting every step I took.

There was a scar on the man's face. He looked very vicious, but he replied politely: "You should thank the master. If the master doesn't intend to let you go, even if I plead, it will be useless."

The tone is light, but there is a trace of concern.

Yi Yu Po raised his head and glanced at the other party, hearing this, he rarely laughed in a low voice, and thought to himself, yes.According to Ming Fengjian's loyalty to that person, if Pluto wanted to kill him, he would not intercede, even if he was one of his very few friends.

Is this stupid loyalty?Or is it commendable to be loyal?It's hard to say.

"Then, it is also my king's order that you come to deliver medicine to me."

Yiyupo said softly, walking slowly with his feet, and every time he took a step, there was a piercing pain in the soles of his feet, as if he was still walking on a knife.

It seems that even with Ming Fengjian's healing medicine, he still didn't heal so quickly.

Ming Shijian didn't answer the other party's question, but just took a thoughtful glance, and asked slowly, "For a human being, it's not like you to be so irrational."

In Ming Fengjian's impression, Yi Yu Po is a person very similar to him, often expressionless, and very rational about everything.

Of course, sometimes it is more rational than indifferent, indifferent to everything, and only a few things can arouse interest.

Ming Fengjian supported the opponent while slowing down his pace.

The punishment had been carried out for three days, and when it was completed, all the officials and soldiers had left, only Yiyubao and one person were left hanging from the wooden pillar with serious injuries.

If the master hadn't ordered him to pick him up, even if he had completed the punishment, he would not have been ordered to leave the execution ground.There are man-eating ghosts everywhere, or flesh-eating crows flying around in the sky.

Ming Fengjian looked up at the man-eating crows as big as crocodiles flying around in the sky, and frowned slightly when he heard the loud chirping.

Suddenly, the other party's whispered answer came from the ear.

"You don't seem to be qualified to say anything about me." Yiyu Po said meaningfully, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, he thought to himself, Ming Fengjian would look nervous whenever his master, the queen of the underworld, was involved in anything. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy showed that his master had feelings of admiration.Only the queen, who is stronger than a man and duller than a pig, can't see it.

Ming Fengjian paused, and said in a low voice, "I don't have that kind of affection for Master."

"I didn't say yes." Yiyupo said softly, he just pointed out a little bit, but the other party "don't admit it".

Ming Fengjian hesitated for a while, and Hei Tong asked tentatively with a trace of hesitation: "You treat that human being like I treat my master?"

"Didn't you just say that you have no unreasonable thoughts about your master? Now..." Yiyu deliberately teased.

"War Ghost is not only good at swordsmanship, but he is also unforgiving with his mouth."

Ming Fengjian also gave a rare smile, his handsome facial features were immediately stained with a soft color, and even the scar on his face didn't look so cunning anymore.

"If, at the beginning, you were willing to participate in the competition, it is unknown who of us will seal this title." Yi Yu Po said with a little nostalgia.

"My responsibility is to protect the master, and other things have nothing to do with me." Ming Fengjian replied indifferently.

Yi Yu Po snickered again in his heart, still saying that it wasn't that kind of emotion, and he said "Master" all the time.

"One day, let's compete again."

Suggested in a word, suddenly remembering the days when they competed with each other, they felt a little itchy.

"it is good."

Ming Fengjian answered briskly, with a look of anticipation on his brows.

In the ward of Weihuang Hospital, Du Yusheng sat upright on the bed, holding a piece of letter paper in both hands, his hands trembling slightly, the more he looked, his face became paler, and his mouth was slightly opened.

Every month his mother will send him a letter whenever she is free, because there are a lot of medical equipment in the hospital, and it is inconvenient to talk on the phone.As for e-mail, Du Yusheng was not interested in computers, so there were no communication tools in the room.

He is a boy who is very different from modern teenagers. He always has his own way of thinking and hobbies.

He prefers the joy of waiting than indulging in skeptical social networking.

Besides, Mom is too busy to be able to connect with each other without affecting her.

On weekdays, he always received greeting letters from his mother. Although the greetings in the letters were almost the same, making people recite them backwards, his concern for him was real and real.

Therefore, he will still read the thin letter paper seriously, and then reply seriously.

This is his habit, a corner of his life.

However, what he saw today is simply a bolt from the blue, unbelievable!

Is he dazzled, or is Mommy laughing?

No, she won't make such a joke, it's just that she can't accept it.

"Yu Sheng, what's the matter with you? You look so bad?"

Sister Fen was standing next to him, she glanced at the letter, but couldn't see any content inside, she couldn't help but asked worriedly.

Usually he finished reading with joy on his face, then showed a big smile, and then hurriedly buried himself in the letter.

Today, he was frowning, what happened?

Sister Fen raised her eyes and wanted to glance at the contents of the letter again, but felt that such behavior was not good, so she had to hold back.

Du Yusheng put down the letter in his hand with a solemn face, pursed his lips in silence, and slowly grabbed the letter with force, the flat letter paper was twisted into a ball and held in his hand.Then, with a hoarse voice, he said softly, "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital immediately."

After Du Yusheng said this sentence that day, he stopped talking.

He eats very little food every day, and looks depressed.

Although the new attending doctor of the hospital did not advise him to leave the hospital under such circumstances, he learned from the patient's exclusive nurse that something happened to the patient's home that caused his depression.

The most important thing for a long-term patient is to fight against the serious illness with fighting spirit, otherwise the medicine will be ineffective. Finally, after discussions among all levels of the hospital, Du Yusheng had to be allowed to be discharged for a week.

And that night when Du Yusheng received the approval, he hurriedly packed his simple luggage, boarded a private long-distance helicopter, and headed to the UK without hesitation.

As soon as he got off the airport, he was not in the mood to appreciate the local exotic customs and buildings. After arriving, he didn't take a breath, and went straight to the address in the letter.

On the way, he was uneasy, holding the crumpled letter in his hand, until he reached the destination, the uneasiness did not disappear, but a nervous look appeared on his face.

"is it here?"

Du Yusheng looked down at the address in the letter and looked up at the house number.

The Western-style buildings are like ordinary holiday houses, full of freehand and leisurely taste.

He crossed his feet and wanted to look out of the window next to him, wanting to take a peek at what was going on inside the house.

However, because of the high distance, he couldn't see anything.

He had no choice but to muster up his courage, reached out and pressed the doorbell, and then waited for the host to open the door.

After a long time, what seemed like a long time, he heard the sound of the doorknob turning slowly.

Then, the door gradually opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of him.

The woman who was still graceful and luxurious was not much different from the last time I met, only the brows were deeply furrowed, and she was stained with obvious deep melancholy.

"Mommy."

Du Yu shouted obediently, with a hint of crying in his voice, and rushed straight into his mother's arms, hugging her tightly, with tears in his eyes.

"Zaizai, why are you here?"

Du Li Lirong showed surprise on her face, and said softly while hugging her son.At the beginning, she was struggling whether to tell Du Yusheng about this kind of thing, but in the end she decided to tell it. After all, Zaizai was the son of that person and had the right to know about this kind of thing.

"How can I not come?"

Du Yusheng buried his face on his mother's shoulder and asked softly.He took a deep breath, raised his head, and asked, "Where's Dad?"

Du Lili looked at her son standing at the door, and at the much taller man, she smiled faintly, reached out and touched the head, and wiped the sweat off Du Yusheng's forehead.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet him."

Du Li Lirong said softly, took Du Yusheng's hand, and led him into the house.

It was a bit dark inside, with little light, and my mother didn't seem to intend to turn on the lights at home.

Du Yusheng couldn't help wondering to himself, what the hell was Mommy doing by herself in such a dark room just now?

He looked around at the furniture and structure of the house. Although the space is not big, the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs.

Moreover, he felt that there was an indescribable smell here, which made people feel comfortable and familiar.

He slowly followed Du Li Lirong's footsteps, shuttled through the corridor, passed the courtyard, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a lush and towering tree in the courtyard, with lush leaves, densely packed, through the layers of leaves, suddenly flashed in his mind A long memory from the past.

"Come on, Zaizai, Dad will tell you a story today."

The strong and powerful arms picked up the petite man with one hand, and then sat on the broad shoulders, stretching out his small hands to hug the man's head.

He smiled and raised his voice: "Wow! It's so high!" His tone carried the tenderness of a child and the joy that couldn't be concealed.

"Really? How about this?"

The tall man firmly grasped his two calves with his hands, stood on the spot and kept turning in circles, not only made himself dizzy, but also made the small man scream in shock.

"Okay, you can tell the story."

As if he felt that he had played enough, the child patted his father on the head to signal him to stop, and said old-fashionedly, which drew the man into a helpless wry smile.

The warm hands in my memory stretched out a finger, pointing to a lush and lush tree in the courtyard of my home at that time, and asked with a smile: "Zaizai, do you know why we planted such a big tree in our house?" Where is the tree?"

"It's beautiful!" The child replied innocently at the time, thinking that the yard was either planting flowers or trees, so what was there to be curious about?

"Of course not, this is to remind Zaizai to learn from Newton."

The man smiled and patted the child's calf.

"Newton?" He tilted his head and asked.

"Newton was the first president of the United States. When he was a child, he accidentally cut down his father's most beloved cherry tree. When his father found out, he was very angry and asked everywhere who did it. But, although he was afraid , but still told the truth. Unexpectedly, his father was not angry, but hugged him and said: "My good boy, I would rather be cut down a hundred trees than you tell a lie."

The man finished speaking in one breath, and said with a smile: "My child, you have to learn from Newton."

"Cut down a tree?" the child blinked and said deliberately.

"No, no, be an honest child and don't lie."

The man gritted his teeth and patted his butt pretending to be angry.

"Oh! Don't! Well, I know! Daddy, I will not lie like Newton."

He said with a bitter face, stretching out his small hand to touch the painful calf.

"That's right!" the man said contentedly.

At this time, the child's mother just came to the courtyard to dry the clothes with the laundry in her hands. Hearing their conversation, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Husband, that's not Newton, that's Washington!"

The man blushed, touched his head foolishly, and said with a smile, "Haha! It seems so!"

The whole family laughed and staggered.Under the bright sunshine, the courtyard planted with big trees is full of happiness and ordinary taste.

Du Yusheng's thoughts stopped here, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

I thought to myself, no wonder he felt very familiar as soon as he walked here, as if he had been here before.

It turns out that the furnishings here are exactly the same as when they lived together before!

"Here, Zizai."

Du Li Lirong opened the door of the room and said softly.The tone was very light, for fear of alarming the people in the room.

Standing at the door, Du Yusheng immediately saw the person half lying on the chair covered with a blanket.

The young and tall appearance in my memory is gone, the hair on both sides of the ears has turned into silver threads, and there are wrinkles on the forehead. The man closed his eyes tiredly, his cheeks were thin, and the hand on his belly was like a dead branch. emaciated.

He walked over slowly and squatted down in front of the man.I remember when, when he was still young, he appeared and stood in front of this man, and he had to look up to see it.

Now his height is almost higher than the man's shoulders.

The man's hand and the pair of strong arms in memory are also different.

"Daddy!"

Du Yusheng took the other party's hand, whispered, and smiled softly.

It seemed that Du Yusheng's actions had awakened the sleeping man. The man slowly opened his eyes, turned his cloudy eyes a few times, then stared at Du Yusheng, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Zaizai! It's you!" ?"

Du Yusheng nodded, and held on to those hands. There were too many things to say in his heart, but now he couldn't say a word.

It is often said that family affection is a field sown with love and irrigated with blood.

It took a lot of love, a lot of care, a lot of intimacy to make that field flourish and become a golden scene.

Du Yusheng likes this kind of talk very much, there is no reason, but he likes it intuitively.

In his memory, the warmth of family is not much, but it is irreplaceable.

Just like now he eats, watches TV, and walks with his sick father and mother every day.The seemingly ordinary picture is not easy to come by.

How many years?

It seems that, for a long, long time, I have never tried to get together as a family.

These pictures can only be dreamed in dreams, but now they can be realized one by one, which is really surprising.However, when he thought of his father's illness, he couldn't help feeling sad, and the lingering sadness was lingering in his heart amidst the happiness.

When the family was eating together, Dad put a few green vegetables into his bowl, which was more satisfying than eating chicken legs. Everything seemed to go back to the past, and my heart was boiling.

When he was watching TV, his father was sitting next to the sofa, and his mother was holding a fruit plate and putting it on the coffee table. Everyone watched TV with relish, eating fruit, and occasionally a laugh resounded in their hearts.

Such a happy day, I really don't want to wake up.

When his family was walking on the street and saw a toy he liked, his eyes flickered, and his father smiled helplessly, and bought the toy with money. This is a smile that is more expensive than anything else.

Everything is so longing and cherished.

Until that day, in the hospital ward.

The man was lying on a white sheet, and the doctor at the hospital said to Du Yusheng and his mother, "Go and see him for the last time!"

Only then did Du Yusheng realize that this beautiful stage play will end one day.

Even if he prays to God every day, hoping that his father can live longer, he is still no match for the overbearing illness.

When the song ends, people can't keep it.

The haggard patient lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.

He slowly opened his eyes and smiled at them, a long-lost bright smile.

Maybe it's the effect of backlight!

Du Yusheng couldn't help thinking this in his heart, feeling sour.

Normally, he always chattered non-stop, but now his throat was blocked, making it difficult to speak, and his eyes were absent-mindedly looking at the man in front of him, his father.

He didn't cry, just stood quietly, listening to his father talking, saying that he should listen to his mother carefully and don't be naughty. This is what any parent would say to his children, but in Du Yusheng's ears I cherish it very much.

He knew that from today onwards, he would never hear such nagging words again.

Maybe he talked too much, his father took a breath slowly, and whispered to Du Li Lirong who was holding his hand all the time: "Li Rong, take out the black tie in my closet, okay?"

Du Li Lirong froze for a moment, wanted to ask something, but couldn't ask, but walked to the cabinet in front of the bed a little hesitantly, and found the tie in the mouth of the other party.

Because it is an expensive private ward, the furnishings here can be decorated according to their preferences, because there is a special cabinet for clothes in this room.

Du Yusheng knew that his father was a very decent person, even though he was seriously ill, he still dressed neatly.

"Which one is it?"

Du Li Lirong found some black ties, turned around and asked.

The man lay down, stretched out his finger and pointed to one of them, and said, "That one."

Du Li Lirong followed the direction he pointed, looked down, her face froze slightly.Then it quickly returned to its original state, and asked softly, "Do you want to put it on?"

The man nodded with a smile, pointed to one of the suits hanging in the cabinet, and said in a low voice, "Put it on for me!"

Du Li Lirong stared at the tie and the suit in her hand and was slightly taken aback, then carefully helped the man put them on.

Originally, Du Yusheng wanted to help, but Du Li Lirong shook his head and refused, so he had no choice but to continue standing where he was.It took a long time to get dressed.

The person on the bed gasped slightly, stretched out his hand to grab Du Li Lirong's hand, and stared at her without blinking, as if he wanted to carve her face into his heart with a knife.

"Li Rong, I've really let you down these past few years. I worked so hard in my career that I never thought about how you and your son feel. I'm such a failed daddy and husband."

The man said slowly, thinking to himself that he has been sprinting desperately on the track of his career for the past few years, and has been running hard, but in the end he ran too far unknowingly.

When I looked back by chance, there was nothing around me.

"Don't say that..."

Du Li Lirong said with a crying voice, shaking her head vigorously.

In fact, he is not the only one who is incompetent?

She is also an incompetent mother and wife.

His man was ambitious, and he was also an ambitious woman. In the end, they couldn't speak a word every time they met, and they were strangers than strangers.

The most ironic thing is that after the man became seriously ill, she discovered that everyone could talk and talk like before.

However, both of them knew in their hearts that they could not go back.

"Li Rong, I have asked the lawyer to send you the divorce agreement, and you will receive it soon."

The man smiled slowly, let go of Du Li Lirong's hand, moved to the bedside cabinet, took out a document, and handed it to Du Li Lirong.

Du Li Lirong caught it hesitantly, opened it carefully, then her face changed, and she said coldly: "I don't want it." After finishing speaking, she threw it back into the man's arms.

"You! Really... How should I put it! This is alimony for you! How can you not want it?" The man smiled helplessly, handed the document to Du Li Lirong again, and forced her to accept it.

"Just accept it! Use the money as you like! Be obedient!"

The man coaxed slowly.He remembered that when they first met, they were attracted by Du Li Lirong's stubborn temper.

However, when did it start that he once admired the other party's character, but it turned out to be the other party's shortcoming?

Perhaps, when some things are going bad, many things are going bad too.

"You are the woman I love the most in this life. As long as you say, I will do it, even if it is a divorce. Now my only request is to give you these things, can't you accept it?"

The man said slowly and smiled helplessly.

Du Li Lirong gripped the document tightly, and a tear fell silently across her cheek.

She looked at the man wearing the suit and tie she had bought for him, and felt very sad.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Du Li Lirong quickly wiped away her tears and said quietly.

"Okay, okay!" The man smiled happily and said in a low voice, "I'm a little tired, I want to sleep."

After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and lay quietly on the bed.

Only Du Yusheng knew that his father never opened his eyes again.

He has never cried. Perhaps the saddest and saddest emotion is a kind of "pain" that doesn't even have the strength to shed tears.

He forgot what kind of expression Mommy showed at that time, what kind of face he had at the funeral, and what is...sorrow.

His heart was empty, as if there was nothing.

In fact, Du Li Lirong had been worried that Du Yusheng would not be able to bear the blow and would have a heart attack, but the child had been very quiet, neither saying nor expressing anything.

She sent Du Yusheng back to the hospital in Hong Kong, and she had to rush back to deal with her husband's death.His business involved too much, and Du Li Lirong was too busy all of a sudden, and had no time to take care of Du Yusheng, and hurried back to foreign countries.

After Du Yusheng returned to the hospital, he became very silent, and the quietness made people feel terrible.

Occasionally, someone talked to him, and he only answered a sentence or two.

Time is always passing between the fingertips, Du Yusheng stood under the tree, looked up, looking at the lush trees, a black shadow flashed in his heart.

Where are you?Why, you haven't come back yet?

There was a doubt in his heart, his eyes looked at the thick tree trunk in a daze, he put his head on it, and closed his eyes gently.

Suddenly, a familiar breath drifted by with the wind, and he suddenly turned his head, and saw the long-lost black shadow standing in front of him.

The black shadow, the windless hem of his clothes, and the crescent-shaped sickle in his hand stood quietly in front of his eyes. The distance seemed to be so close and yet so far away, making Du Yusheng think it was his own hallucination .

The cold and hard face showed the joy of reunion, although it was faint, but it was very dazzling, like the brilliance of the setting sun, spreading gently in the heart.

He always thought that when they met again, Du Yusheng would smile brightly at him, showing a smile as warm as sunshine.

However, at this moment, he saw strings of crystal clear tears running down the boy's cheeks.
