In Li Dalong's memory, his father was a taciturn person.
If you ask him something, he won't tell, and if you don't ask him, he won't tell. But when he comes back from the mine every day, the first thing he does is throw the nutrient solution to Li Dalong.
He is always a father, no matter how weird he is, he doesn't want his son to starve.
But more often when he came back from the mine, his father was empty-handed. It was obvious that he had gained nothing from the hard work of the day. As time went by, Li Dalong secretly went down to the mine with his father on his back, and groped for ore in the muddy pools with the miners who were not human-like.
.
Children from poor families are always tough-minded. In order to survive, they often burst out with huge human potential. Therefore, his father also found it strange. Sometimes Li Dalong refused to inject the nutrient solution he brought back. He suspected that the problem lay next door.
Xiaojia from home.
Xiaojia's full name is Song Xiaojia, and she is also from the Huaxia ethnic group. At that time, she was the only next-door neighbor of Li Dalong's family.
Every time Li Dalong came back like a clay figure, he would sneak into the yard of Xiaojia's house. No matter how cold the weather was, he would pick up the bucket and pour cold water all over his body.
The kind-hearted girl next door couldn't bear to see it, so she went back to the house to get a towel and a dryer for Li Dalong. After washing them, Li Dalong dared to go home.
Xiaojia's family situation is much better than that of Li Dalong's family, because her relatives live in Tianxing, a happy city, and her parents have contacted their relatives and are preparing to immigrate to Tianxing as a family.
Li Dalong also likes to go to Xiaojia's house, because every time Xiaojia has something good, she will leave a little for Li Dalong. Sometimes these good things are a biscuit, sometimes a candy, and sometimes a
A small bag of peanuts and melon seeds was simply more precious than gold on the bright moon star at that time.
In fact, the most precious thing in this world is not the so-called good things, but people, the human heart!
Especially those who are pure and kind after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, like girls like Xiaojia. She is still young and cannot understand why there is such a big difference between people. But she is willing to help Li Dalong. The reason is
One. That is, children like Li Dalong should not go to dangerous places like mines. The miners in the mines are all adults, and there should not be children there.
It’s just that the happy time seems to be forever short. Li Dalong went back after going down a well. His father caught him in the yard of Xiaojia’s house. That time, Li Dalong was severely beaten by his father, but he bit him all the time.
He clenched his teeth and made no sound.
He knew that his father was also doing it for his own good and did not want him to risk his life to mine at a young age. But staying at home all day long was not an option. Later, Xiaojia's family moved to other planets, and Li Dalong didn't even have a place to go.
But he has not forgotten Xiaojia. If Xiaojia has left the deepest impression on him, it is not Xiaojia's clear and bright eyes, but Xiaojia and her mother. This is what Li Dalong envies most.
.
In the kitchen of Xiaojia's house, her mother would occasionally cook a simple meal for her, and Xiaojia would be waiting nearby with a happy face.
Why don't I have a mother? This question has always puzzled Li Dalong. From the time he had memories, he lived with his father in his memory, and there was no concept of a mother.
"Where is my mother?" Li Dalong asked this question every time.
His father waved his hands impatiently: "Don't bother me. I'm very tired today. I have to go down to the well tomorrow morning. Go to sleep!"
Li Dalong was helpless. The old man's health was indeed getting worse year by year. Years of fatigue had caused various problems in his body. He was also much older. A 40-year-old middle-aged man looked like he was over 60 years old.
Elderly people.
But the old man is also a human being, and he also has his own hobbies, that is, he likes to take a few sips!
But everyone knows that Liang Yuexing is poor in materials and resources. Wine is an absolute luxury. It often takes the old man two or three months to get a small bottle of wine. This is when he is happiest.
After a hard day's work, he would return to his humble home at night and slowly drink the worst quality soju. When he was drunk, he would sing loudly:
"Love is like the sky, thousands of miles vast; sorrow is like the sea, turbulent in all kinds of ways; it is difficult to be together, and it is impossible to separate; love and hate fill my chest, and there are thousands of layers of confusion and pain, and I wait for the day when the sorrow and resentment will end...
…”
At this time, Li Dalong would join in and ask, "What kind of music is this? It's quite nice."
"Go, go, go, little brat, what do you know? Go away!" The old man waved his hands to expel him impatiently, but the next moment he turned his head, what showed in his eyes was deep sadness and a deep nostalgia for the past.
Miss you.
"Where is my mother?" Li Dalong began to ask again.
The old man was angry: "Ask again, ask again, do you believe that I will beat you to death, you brat?"
Li Dalong climbed into bed angrily, pulled up the quilt and huddled up.
However, on another night when the old man was drunk, and under Li Dalong's repeated questioning, the old man finally accidentally let out a little secret.
Li Dalong finally knew that his mother lived in the happy star.
Therefore, immigrating to Tianxing became the ultimate goal that Li Dalong worked hard for in his life.
However, given the current situation he and the old man are in, let alone immigrating to Tianxing, they can burn incense if they can leave here.
One day when Li Dalong was 14 years old, he finally got the news that a supply fleet from a large consortium would arrive at Bright Moon Star in three days. His plan was simple: while the fleet was unloading goods, he would sneak in and steal the ship.
Drive away by force.
"Are you looking for death?" The old man was furious when he found out, "You're not allowed to go!"
"I have to go!" Li Dalong was very stubborn. "If you beat me to death, I will go. I can't wait to die like this. After those mercenary conglomerates squeeze us clean, there will be nothing left on this planet. When the time comes, they will slap their butts."
Leave and leave the rest of us to starve to death. I can die, but I absolutely cannot starve to death. I am a man, and men cannot die in such a tortured way."
After saying that, he walked out of the house without looking back.
The old man was speechless. Li Dalong's words were cruel, but they were indeed true.
In the middle of the night, on a forest road leading to the launch base of a large consortium, Li Dalong calculated the time correctly and set up a roadblock. After knocking a staff member unconscious with a big stone in the dark, he snatched the other person's motorcycle and headed to the base.
Open inside.
He had lived on Bright Moon for 14 years and was very familiar with every plant and tree here. As a result, when he drove to the base with ease, what he never expected was that the old man was already standing at the hatch of a small spaceship.
While waving to him: "You bastard, if you don't want to die, get out of here quickly."
"Why did you come with me?" Li Dalong closed the hatch.
The old man started the engine: "Do you really think you, a little kid, can steal a ship?"
The old man had a bad attitude as always, but Li Dalong felt very warm in his heart. Although his father was rigid and rigid, he was never willing to let him take risks alone.
Unfortunately, this warmth turned into tension not long after they flew out, and three battleships from the large consortium chased after them.
The vast starry sky is still so calm and beautiful, but the crisis is about to break out.
The old man's expression was very calm. He seemed to have known that this day would come for a long time. After changing the operating system to automatic driving, he grabbed Li Dalong and said seriously for the first time in his life: "Boy, please listen to me. I will never let you down."
There is no hope, but you are different, you are my son, you are only 1
4 years old is still very young, and your future life is still very long. This ship will land on the Camellia Star in 5 minutes. Don’t go looking for your mother. The affairs of the previous generation have nothing to do with you. No matter what happens in the future,
You have to help me survive, get ahead, and give me a voice, do you hear me?"
This sounded bad. Before Li Dalong could ask why, he was knocked unconscious by the old man's punch.
The old man stuffed him into the escape hatch, quietly watched the hatch close, and murmured: "Son, I owe you so much in this life. If there is an afterlife, and I am lucky enough to be your father, I will definitely give you
Your happiest and richest life in the world..."
After saying that, he calmly looked through the window at the three approaching airships in the distance. A strong light appeared at the front of the airships, and the warheads roared and crashed into them, blowing all hopes into ashes...
Li Dalong did not die in that disaster. The escape capsule dropped him on the outskirts of Luoning Town on Camellia Star. After climbing out of the capsule, he finally found the spaceship in the wilderness 1 kilometer away. Unfortunately, the spacecraft had been blown up beyond recognition.
The old man's body was completely burnt.
Li Dalong burst into tears immediately. This was the first time he shed tears, and they were tears of regret.
Ever since he was a child, his father had only agreed to this one request of his. This was the only request and the last request. No one could have imagined that it would be a fatal request.
Even though it was such a request, the old man still did it for him. The old man gave him the only hope of survival, but he calmly chose death.
His father may have done this thing for him in his life, but as a father, the old man may have done this thing that many fathers cannot do in their life.
Li Dalong did not forget his father's last instructions, and he had to work hard to survive no matter what.
He buried his father on the outskirts of Luoning Town. In the future, he would always come to pay homage every few years. It wasn't that he was too busy to come, but he didn't dare to come. If it hadn't been for him back then,
Stubborn and impulsive, the old man may still be alive today, but now, he can only face the cold tombstone.
Every time he knelt here, he had the feeling that there was a pair of eyes that were always watching him: "If you want to get ahead, you have to give me a voice."
Thinking of this, Li Dalong's eyes turned slightly red. He stood up, looked at the tombstone and said silently: "Old man, don't worry, I have been working hard and I have never given up. One day I will prove it to you.
of."
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew by, setting off a circle of air currents that rolled up the paper money on the ground and danced all over the sky, as if his father's soul was responding to his promise. (To be continued...)
