"But it looks like this is just a peaceful island."
Shi Xiaonian said.
After they had landed on the island, although she had not met many people, the people she had met did not have any ill intentions, especially the landlady, who was even concerned about her.
"Peace?" Feng De mocked him, "That's only the appearance of the Berg Island, you have never been inside the Berg family, you don't know what kind of terrifying class system there is, they want their servants to have absolute servility.""…"
Shi Xiaonian listened quietly.
"minuscule thought, do you know how my father passed away?" Feng De turned and looked at Shi Xiaonian. His eyelashes trembled and his eyes were red, "My father was tortured to death. Originally, the three of us lived a relatively peaceful life in Berg family. Ever since my father was transferred to the side of a young master at that time, he was wounded every day. Gradually, his fingers disappeared, his toes disappeared, his eyes disappeared, and finally, he lost his life.Su Yaoyao stood at the side and covered her mouth with her hands.
Shi Xiaonian involuntarily tightened her grip on the pocket watch in her hand. Looking at him in disbelief, she took a step back, her body emitting layer after layer of chilliness.A warm hand closed around her.
She turned her head and Gong Ou was standing right beside her.
Gong Ou hugged her, and looked coldly at Feng De with his black eyes, as he asked, "What happened next?"
"From that time onwards, I swore that I would bring my mother away from Berg family, from Berg Island." "However, if we want to leave the Berg family, we have to go through the garrison troops on the island. They are also a group of people that have been enslaved and have a slightly higher status than us, so under the brainwashing of their masters and young masters, they do not spare us a glance, and cannot let us leave."This was the Berg family, they kept to their old dirty tricks, dividing people into several categories, wantonly raising their superior position yet treating others like dogs.
Shi Xiaonian stood beside Gong Ou and listened. She never thought that her foster father would actually be like this.
He was such a good man.
To think that there would be such a past, for the sake of escaping Berg Island, he must have used a lot of methods.
"At that time, my desire to escape was very strong. I didn't want to stay on the island with my mother and wait for death." Feng De said as he turned around and slowly walked in front of Shi Xiaonian. He took the pocket watch from her hand and stated with a pale face while lowering his eyes, "At that time, Chief Guard favored her eldest daughter, who was about the same age as me. She was the most beautiful mixed blood girl on the island."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian listened quietly and did not interrupt."I know that the young masters of the family are vowing to her, and I know that she will be destroyed by the family sooner or later. I think that she will always be destroyed, so using a girl like this is not a big deal." Feng De said as he looked at Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian, and narrated his most miserable past bit by bit. "Thus, I approached that girl and let her steal my father's talisman, and Mother and I smoothly escaped. That's the whole story. "
He finished, speaking so simply, like a spectator narrating the facts objectively, without any emotion.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De, closed in? How close was she to this point? After staying in the hotel with that girl for a long time, did she leave his behind?
"Why didn't you take the girl with you?"
Su Yaoyao asked out of curiosity.
If she escapes, her family would definitely be cruelly punished. She had to stay behind and take responsibility, she voluntarily allowed me to escape, voluntarily let me stay behind. " Feng De said, his voice somewhat numb, his face becoming more and more pale.Hearing this, Su Yaoyao could not believe it, "Then you can use that to completely get rid of a girl like her? Are you still a man? "
"…"
Shi Xiaonian really wanted to speak up for Feng De, but she could not refute what Su Yaoyao had said.
He had cheated a simple girl to help him escape, and then stayed alone to take all the responsibility.No wonder the landlady said that the girl cried for so long at the beach.
After putting everything together, Shi Xiaonian suddenly felt very sad. It was not wrong to try to escape, it was just that her foster father used this chance to hurt someone.
"I have no choice. I'll take care of my mother, and I won't be able to go back. If I go back, I'll die with my mother. I can only walk this path until the end." Feng De said with a terrifyingly pale face, but his voice was getting more and more numb, "And she, even without me, she would have been destroyed. She knows, she knows."
"Then you can leave her alone?" Su Yaoyao said excitedly, "Did you know that landlady said she cried at the seaside for a few days? You left selfishly, did you know how desperate she was?"
Shi Xiaonian turned and looked at Su Yaoyao, her emotions fluctuating, to the point that her eyes turned red from anger.Shi Xiaonian looked at her, her gaze deepened, but she did not say anything. She heard Gong Ou's voice resounding in her ears, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, after dozens of years, why did you suddenly think of coming back?"
"Because of a letter."
Feng De said.
"A letter?"
Shi Xiaonian asked in shock. Feng De walked to his backpack and took out a letter from inside, respectfully handing it over to Gong Ou.
Gong Ou reached out and took it, opening the letter, there was only one sentence written inside: An Jilinuo is still alive."In Berg family, secretly letting the slaves leave is a huge crime. I had always thought that she was dead." Feng De said with a pale face, "I never thought that someone would suddenly send such a message to me. An Jilinuo must have sent this message."
"Why do you think so?"
Gong Ou asked coldly."After I escaped from the Berg Island, I had changed my name and changed everything. Other than her, no one else would know that I was going to name myself Feng De." Feng De said, "Other than her, no one else can find me."
"…"Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De, unable to say a word.
"Then you shouldn't be on the island." Su Yaoyao stood at the side and said, "Maybe that girl always hated you, waiting for you to settle the score. How can you have the face to come over?"
With that, Su Yaoyao turned and ran, her eyes red.
"Yeah, how could I have the face to come over?" Feng De laughed self-deprecatingly. He looked at Shi Xiaonian and said, "But I just want to take a look. As long as she is still alive, I will take back any sin."
"…"Shi Xiaonian remained silent.
Gong Ou did not have a woman's sentiments, he only asked coldly, "Did you investigate the origin of this letter?"
"Yes, I have no clue."
Feng De shook his head.
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow! "Sleep!" Shi Xiaonian said coldly as she pulled Shi Xiaonian along to leave. Shi Xiaonian stopped in her tracks, shot her a glare back, and then left without a trace.Shi Xiaonian stood there quietly, not saying a word.
Feng De looked at her, his voice low and hoarse, to the point where one could only hear his fatigue, "minuscule thought, are you disappointed in me?"Even the mind of a Cartoonist would not think that he had such an experience. He must be such a person.
She could not even stand Su Yaoyao, a stranger, let alone Shi Xiaonian, she had always respected him so much.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, quietly looked at Feng De, and asked softly, "Father, did you really abandon her? You really haven't gone back to look for it? "
"…"Feng De stood there silently.
"You must have gone back, right? You're not the kind of person to walk away from people like that, absolutely not. " Shi Xiaonian said. If it was really as cold and ruthless as he said, why did she keep such an old pocket watch on him for so long?
This pocket watch definitely belonged to him and that An Jilinuo.
Feng De looked at her and said, "So what if you've gone back? In fact, I abandoned her. I left my sick mother where she was and sneaked back to the island to find her. I saw them bury her. "
"…"
Shi Xiaonian listened in surprise.
"Then I'm leaving." Feng De said, his hand tightly holding onto his pocket watch as he sat down on the sofa.
Shi Xiaonian walked in front of him and could not help but ask, "Father, did you love her?"
"I don't know." "I only know that in the last second that I was with her, I was worried that she would betray me and would not let me leave the island. I only know that the moment I fled the island with my mother, I was really happy.
The reason why he was so close to An Jilinuo from the very beginning was to use him, so to the end, his foster father was no longer able to differentiate between his own emotions.
Shi Xiaonian sat down beside him.
"minuscule thought, I've had nightmares for decades. In my dream, there was only one scene, and that was when they buried her. The mud flew in front of my eyes, and I couldn't forget about it no matter what." Feng De said, "If only she was still alive.""You believe she's still alive?"
"That letter was placed in the place where we agreed to meet. I don't know how long it had been there, but when I went there, it was filled with dust. Besides her, no one else knew where it was." Feng De said.
"…"
"I told her before that if she wanted to escape, she would look for me at the escape route that I had set for her. I would be waiting for her there." Feng De said, "I don't even know if my words are sincere or fake, I clearly know that she wouldn't let go of so many family members to follow me. I know full well that once I escape, all she'll be left with is death. ""Foster father, all these years you've been living a life of guilt." Shi Xiaonian looked at him and said, "I didn't know that there was actually such a huge hidden thing in your heart. I keep having the feeling that there's nothing your foster father can't do, that he knows everything, and that he's the most perfect man."
"Now I'm just a selfish bastard." Feng De said.
