"But it seems like this is just a peaceful island."
Shi Xiaonian said.
After they arrived on the island, although she didn't meet many people, the people she met didn't have any ill intentions, especially the old landlady who even cared about her.
"Peace?" Feng De sneered mockingly, "That's just a false appearance on Berg Island. You have never been inside the Berg family. You don't know what a terrible class system there is. They want their servants to have absolute servility. ."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian listened quietly.
"Xiao Nian, do you know how my father passed away?" Feng De turned to look at Shi Xiao Nian, his eyelashes trembling and his eyes were red, "My father was tortured to death. Originally, our family of three was in the Berg family. Life was quite peaceful. Ever since my father was transferred to live with a young master at that time, his body was injured every day. Gradually, his fingers were gone, his toes were gone, his eyes were gone, and finally, his life was gone. "
Su Yaoyao stood aside and covered her mouth with her hands.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but clenched the pocket watch in her hand, looked at him in disbelief, and took a step back, her body filled with chills.
A warm hand hugged her now.
She turned her head and Gong Ou was standing beside her.
Gong Ou hugged her, looked at Feng De with cold black eyes, and asked, "What happened next?"
"From that time on, I swore that I would take my mother to escape from the Berg family and escape from Berg Island." Feng De said, looking dimly at the darkness outside, "But if you want to leave the Berg family, you must pass through the island. They are also a group of people who have been enslaved, and their status is a little higher than ours. Under the brainwashing of the masters and young masters, they also treat us with disdain and cannot let us out. "
This is the Berg family. They stick to all the dirty old tricks, divide people into several classes, wantonly enhance their own arrogant status, but treat others like dogs.
Shi Xiaonian stood beside Gong Ou and listened. She never knew that her adoptive father was like this in the past.
He's such a nice guy.
To have such a past, he must have tried his best to escape from Berg Island.
"At that time, my desire to escape was very strong. I didn't want to stay on the island with my mother to wait for death." Feng De said, turned around, walked slowly to Shi Xiaonian, took the pocket watch from her hand, and lowered his eyes. He looked at the pocket watch and recounted with a pale face, "At that time, the guard chief doted on his eldest daughter. That daughter was about the same age as me. She was innocent and the most beautiful mixed-race girl on the island."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian listened quietly without interrupting.
"I know that the master's young masters are determined to seize her. I know that she will be destroyed by the master sooner or later. I think she will always be destroyed. It is okay for me to use such a girl." Feng De said, raising his eyes to Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian, and telling his most embarrassing past bit by bit, "So, I approached the girl and asked her to steal my father's Deshima Talisman, and I and my mother went smoothly. Escaped. That's the whole story."
When he finished speaking, he spoke so succinctly, like a spectator who was just objectively describing the facts without any emotion.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De blankly, approaching? How close is it? After staying in a hotel with that girl for a long time, did you abandon that girl again
"Why don't you take the girl with you?"
Su Yaoyao on the side asked Xiao Nian's doubts.
"She refused to leave on her own. The guard chief has a lot of family members. If she escapes, her family will be brutally punished. She must stay and bear the responsibility alone. She voluntarily allowed me to escape and stayed voluntarily." De said, his voice was numb and his face became increasingly pale.
Hearing this, Su Yaoyao couldn't believe it and said, "Then you can use Perfect Man to keep her as a girl? Are you still a man?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian wanted to speak for Feng De, but she couldn't refute Su Yaoyao's words. This story sounded like her adoptive father's behavior was indeed scumbag and cruel.
He deceived a simple girl into willingly helping him escape, and then stayed alone to bear all the responsibilities.
No wonder the landlady said that the girl cried at the beach for so long.
Putting all the things together, Shi Xiaonian suddenly felt very sad. There was nothing wrong with wanting to escape, but his adoptive father took advantage of him and hurt people.
"I can't help it. I'm taking my mother with me. I can't go back. If I go back, I'll die with my mother. I can only go one way to the end." Feng De said, his face was horribly white, but his voice was getting louder and louder. Numb, "And she, even without me, she will be destroyed, she knows it, she knows it."
"Then you can let her stay alone?" Su Yaoyao said excitedly, "Do you know that the landlady said that she cried at the beach for several days, and you left selfishly? Have you ever thought about her? How desperate?”
Shi Xiaonian turned to look at Su Yaoyao. Su Yaoyao's mood was very fluctuating, and her eyes were red with anger.
Shi Xiaonian looked at her, his eyes deepened, and he didn't say anything. She only heard Gong Ou's voice ringing in her ears. He said coldly, "If this is the case, it has been decades, why did you suddenly think of doing this?" return?"
"Because of a letter."
Feng De said.
"A letter?"
Shi Xiaonian asked in astonishment, and saw Feng De walking to his backpack, taking out a letter from it and handing it respectfully to Gong Ou's hand.
Gong Ou reached out to take it and opened the letter. There was only one sentence written inside: Angelina is still alive.
"In the Berg family, it is a serious crime to let a slave leave without permission. I always thought she was dead." Feng De said with a pale face, "I didn't expect that someone would suddenly send me such a letter. It must be Angelina. Someone was sent to spread the word."
"Why do you think so?"
Gong Ou asked coldly.
"After I escaped from Berg Island, I changed my name and started all over again. Except for her, no one would know that I would name myself Feng De." Feng De said, "No one can find me except her. ."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De and was speechless.
"Then you shouldn't go to the island." Su Yaoyao stood aside and said, "Maybe that girl has always hated you and is just waiting for you to show up to settle accounts. How can you have the nerve to come here?"
After saying that, Su Yaoyao turned around and ran away, her eyes always red.
"Yeah, I don't have the nerve to come here." Feng De gave a self-deprecating smile. He looked at Shi Xiaonian and said, "But I just came to take a look, just one look. As long as she is still alive, let me atone for any sins." All is OK.”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was silent.
Gong Ou did not have the sentimentality of a woman, and only asked indifferently, "Have you investigated the origin of this letter?"
"I've investigated it, but I have no clue."
Feng De shook his head.
"Then let's talk tomorrow! Go to bed!" Gong Ou said coldly, pulling Shi Xiaonian and turning around to leave. Shi Xiaonian stopped. Gong Ou looked back and glared at her fiercely, and then left.
Shi Xiaonian stood there quietly without speaking.
Feng De looked at her, his voice was so hoarse that he could only hear the tiredness, "Xiao Nian, are you disappointed in me?"
Even a cartoonist would never have imagined that he would have such an experience and that he would be such a person.
Even Su Yaoyao couldn't stand looking at a stranger, let alone Shi Xiaonian, whom she had always respected so much.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, watching Feng De quietly, and asked softly, "Father, did you really abandon her? Did you really never go back to look for her?"
“…”
Feng De stood there silently.
"You must have gone back, right? You are not someone who just walked away like that, absolutely not." Shi Xiaonian said, if it was as cold and ruthless as he said, why did he carry such an old pocket watch with him? For a long time, they refused to replace it with a new one if it broke.
This pocket watch must belong to him and that Angelina.
Feng De looked at her and said, "So what if I go back? In fact, I abandoned her. I put my sick mother in a resettlement place. I secretly returned to the island to find her, and saw them burying her. ."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian listened in surprise.
"Then, I left." Feng De said, holding his pocket watch tightly in his hand and sitting down on the sofa nearby.
Shi Xiaonian walked up to him and couldn't help but ask, "Father, have you ever loved her?"
"I don't know." Feng De said, lowering his head, "I only know that the last second I was with her, I was worried that she would betray me and not let me leave the island; I only know that with her The moment my mother fled the island, I was really happy; I only knew that no matter how many women I met later, I would still wake up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, dreaming that I had killed a woman."
He was trying to take advantage of Angelina from the beginning, so in the end, the adoptive father could no longer distinguish his feelings.
Shi Xiaonian sat down next to him.
"Xiao Nian, I have had nightmares for decades. There is only one scene in the dream, that is, they buried her, and the dirt was flying in front of my eyes. I can never forget it." Feng De said, "If she really It’s good to be alive.”
"Do you believe she's still alive?"
"The letter was placed at the place we agreed on. I don't know how long it was there. When I went there, the letter was covered in dust. No one knew where it was except her," Feng De said.
“…”
"I told her before that if she figures out how to escape, she can find me at the place where I have planned an escape route. I will wait for her there all the time." Feng De said, "I don't even know what I said. Whether she was sincere or hypocritical when she said this, I know that she cannot leave so many family members and follow me. I know that if I escape, she will only die. "
"Father, you have been living with guilt these years." Shi Xiaonian looked at him and said, "I didn't know you had such a big thing hidden in your heart. I always felt that my foster father was omnipotent. , can do everything, and is the most perfect man."
"Now I find that I am just a selfish bastard." Feng De said. (To be continued)
