Chapter 920 : Water drop through stone!

In the following days, Tang Zhong came to visit Dong Boti every day.

At the beginning, the members of the Dong family were extremely uncomfortable.No matter who came to visit, they would see the person they least wanted to see sitting there, and they would be very angry and irritable.Especially those junior members of the Dong family who knew some inside information wanted to eat his flesh raw and thirsty to drink his blood and cut him into pieces.

But because of Dong Xinhang's permission and the old man of the Dong family's silence on the matter, there was nothing they could do.

After a long time, they all got used to Tang Zhong's existence. Everyone came and went, completely treating him as a transparent person.

Since that night, Dong Puti has not spoken.

She lay in a daze on the bed, occasionally humming a few lyrics.

Tang Zhong couldn't hear clearly the first few times. After paying special attention a few times, Tang Zhong probably understood the meaning of the lyrics:

I would rather time pass my eyes and see me as a tombstone

I still think of the incomplete memories that once made me perfect

Thought we met and shed tears of strangers, ruthless like running water

Just forget who you are, forget who you are to me

-------

After Tang Zhong went back, he searched for this song and knew that it was the work of a senior in the entertainment industry.This senior mainly focuses on film and television performances. Although there are only a few music works released, they are widely sung and can still be remembered by people until now.

Tang Zhong didn't speak either.

Seeing that Dong Boti's lips were dry, he sent warm water.

After Dong Boti finished drinking, he took back the teacup.

Some fruits will also be peeled and sliced, but most of the time they are rejected.He held the fruit and did not move, and Dong Boti lay there and did not move.

After a long time, the peeled apples turned yellow, but no one took a bite.

Most of the time, Tang Zhong was silent company, he sat in the corner of the room, not far from Dong Boti's hospital bed.A piece of wood and a knife are constantly carving something.

One day, two days, three days -----

Half a month has passed, and a month has passed.

Tang Zhong stayed in Yanjing during this time, and also stayed by Dong Puti's side.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Spring Festival is getting closer.

However, there is no Chinese New Year atmosphere in everyone's heart.

Everyone kept a straight face, as if the businessman didn't have any harvest this year.

Today is the second day of No.30, Tang Zhong once again came to the small courtyard where Dong Puti lived to report.

As usual, he first cleaned his hands with disinfectant in the bathroom.Then he walked into Dong Boti's room, checked whether her face was rosy, and decided whether to give her water based on the dryness of her lips.

The fruit in the fruit basket is very fresh, it should be delivered by the little nurse just today.Tang Zhong knew that Dong Boti liked apples, so he peeled another fruit, sliced ​​it into slices and put it on a plate -- he knew Dong Boti would not eat it.

But maybe she suddenly wants to eat?

Tang Zhong stood in front of Dong Boti's bed with a fruit in his hand. Dong Boti's eyes moved, and he reached out and picked a piece with a toothpick and stuffed it into his mouth.

Tang Zhong was very excited.

You know, in the first 30 days, Tang Zhong would cut an apple and bring it to Dong Boti every day, but she never touched it.Willing to eat an apple today is already a big change.A welcome change.

She chewed lightly, looking devoid of appetite.

But yes, where does she have such a thing as appetite now?It's a miracle to be alive.

It took a long time before this piece of apple was swallowed by Dong Boti.

Tang Zhong held the plate and looked at her expectantly, hoping that she could eat another piece.

Dong Boti didn't eat any more apples, but said out loud, "Help me up."

Tang Zhong quickly put down the fruit plate, put two pillows on the head of the bed, and carefully helped Dong Puti up to lean on.

"You don't have to do this," Dong Puti said.

Tang Zhong didn't speak.If he doesn't speak, it means that he will continue to do so.

"Is this the longest time you've been with me?" Dong Pu asked.

Tang nodded emphatically and said, "It will be longer."

"No more." Dong Puti shook his head.

Tang Zhong's heart sank suddenly.

"Tang Zhong, why didn't you lie to me?" Dong Puti looked directly at Tang Zhong, and said, "You are so smart, and nothing can stop you—why don't you lie to me?"

"-------" Tang Zhong's heart was heavy, but he didn't know how to explain it.

She knows the answer, and when she asks this question, what she wants is not the real answer -----

Women are such strange creatures.She needs to be honest, but, when the truth is hard to swallow, they expect it to be a good lie.

"Why didn't you break his leg? Why didn't you let him go in front of me and then find someone to kill him behind your back? Why didn't you let Jiang Rulong or anyone else do it? Why you? Why must it be You? Why -----" Dong Puti's voice was full of tears. "If you do this, how can I love you in the future?"

Tang Zhong's eyes were also red.

His throat squirmed, but no sound came out.

He can explain it to Dong Xinhang, he can explain it to the whole world, but how can he explain it to Dong Boti?

No matter what the reason was, it was his brother, his own brother.

"Tang Zhong, how much do you hate me that you don't want to lie to me?" Dong Puti covered his face with the quilt, weeping uncontrollably.

"I don't hate you, and it's not that I don't want to lie to you--" Tang Zhong raised his face, preventing the tears from falling from the corners of his eyes.

He doesn't like to cry, because that represents cowardice.

The bearded man doesn't like to cry either, and he gives up easily when he cries.In such a dangerous and desperate environment, giving up means losing everything.

"Last time, in order to save someone important to me, I kidnapped you. And ---- stabbed you three times." Tang Zhong suppressed the guilt and pity in his heart, and said in a heavy voice.He pointed to Dong Boti's abdomen and said, "It was also in this position last time."

"This time, you stabbed yourself three times in order to save me." Tang Zhong patted his stomach and said, "It's still in this position."

"Do you know why I always avoid you? Because I'm afraid to face you. Every time I see you, it reminds me of those three swords. It makes me feel that I owe you a lot--now, I owe you this It will never be clear for the rest of my life.”

"I owe you already, so I don't want to lie to you again." Tang Zhong looked directly at Dong Boti's teary eyes, and said emotionally, "When you stabbed that knife into your stomach, I knew that I would never marry you again in this life." I can't hide anything from you. As you said, I can have a hundred ways to deal with Dong Xiaobao. I also hesitated - but, I chose the most authentic one. I respect him and don't lie you."

"You would rather fulfill him than fulfill me?"

"Because he is your brother." Tang Zhong said.

-------

Walking out of Dong Puti's room, Tang Zhong stood in the yard panting heavily.There is a big rock pressing on the heart, and there is a kind of weather that makes people chill.

The distance between him and Dong Boti was so far that it was hard to see with the naked eye.

As the Buddhist saying goes, what kind of cause sows what kind of fruit.Every cause has a corresponding effect.There are no knots and locks that cannot be untied in this world.

However, the knot Tang Zhong is facing now makes people helpless.

What if he put his feet down at that time?Getting caught up in an endless fight again, and then it's up to you again?

If, in another way, he beat Dong Xiaobao to death and made him disabled, would everyone be able to accept such a result?

In this world, there is a kind of injury called deception.There is a kind of stupidity called being cruel to yourself.

People are tired, and the heart is even more tired.

"What do you think you can change?" An old voice sounded from behind.

Tang Zhong turned around and saw a bald old man standing behind him.The old man was tall and tall, wearing a washed and whitish military overcoat, he looked imposing.

However, the old man's eyes were a little swollen, and it seemed that he hadn't slept very well during this time.

Dong Handong, the old man of the Dong family, is a legendary figure in Yanjing.

Tang Zhong's eyes also became sharper, he stared at Dong Handong coldly, and asked, "What do you think you have changed?"

The old man's face was gloomy, but he said with great pride: "Dong Xiaobao is a good son of my Dong family, and also the most proud grandson of my Dong Handong - it's just that I lost to you due to bad luck. If Xiaobao succeeds, who will pay for it in the future?" Can you stop my Dong family? Success and defeat, such stories are happening every day in history. Do you think I did something wrong?"

"Of course you are wrong." Tang Zhong said harshly. "If you hadn't been behind the scenes to fuel the flames, if you hadn't been behind the scenes to calculate and support, how could things have come to this point? How could you have lost your grandson? Lost your granddaughter?"

"This has nothing to do with right or wrong, but with luck." Dong Handong said firmly. "life and prosperity are ruled by fate."

"Until now, you still feel that you have no blame at all?"

"Tang Zhong, you will be like me, and you will come to my step -- what you are going to go now is what we did back then. What I have done now is what you will do in the future .” The old man’s eyes seemed to be able to see everything. "This is the road of a king, and it is also the road of a hero---Tang Zhong, if you can't do it, go home and have a baby. Maybe that kind of life is more suitable for you."

"My life doesn't need to be arranged by others." Tang Zhong countered. "I am my master. I will take a different path, I am different from you."

"Really?" Dong Handong rubbed his face with both hands, and said, "Didn't you kill Dong Xiaobao already? How are you different from us?"

"I killed him because of Dong Puti."

"Yes." The old man nodded. "So - you are not as good as Dong Xiaobao."

"I'm a winner."

"But facing Dong Boti, you have already lost."

"Water drips through stone, you should have heard of this saying, right?"

"This is what a lunatic deceives a fool. How can anyone really believe it?" The old man said with a sneer.

"Dong Puti is your granddaughter, your own granddaughter, how can you treat her like this?" Tang Zhong wanted to roar.He hurt her, her relatives hurt her, and the whole world failed her.

Dong Handong was silent for a long time, and said: "I don't believe that water drops through stone, but I believe that man can conquer nature—Tang Zhong, don't let anything block your way forward. If you win, you should be rewarded with the whole world."
