After just a few words, Lin Xi already had a general idea of how the two brothers usually got along.
No wonder Tianming thought that his only disaster in the future would be his relatives. He indulged them unconditionally just because Huo Xiang yelled at him. How could there not be trouble?
Lin Xi looked at Director Tianming coldly.
"Captain, don't you know that unconditional indulgence will only harm him?"
Huo Xiangyou became angry again when he heard this.
"It's none of your business! He's my brother, shouldn't he protect and take care of me?!"
Seeing that Tianmingshi was silent, it was obvious that his thoughts were affected by what Lin Xi had just said.
Huo Xiangyou was worried that his brother really wouldn't help him, so in a panic, he simply hardened his heart and directly opened up the most painful scar in his brother's heart.
"And if it weren't for you, my parents wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have become a childless and motherless orphan at such a young age! You're the one who caused all this, and you should pay for it with your blood!"
These words were like a huge rock, crushing Tianming's straight back.
The thing that was buried deep in his memory and that he least wanted to think about was brought up again, and Dean Tianming's eyes were filled with pain.
His lips were trembling. Although he was old, he looked as helpless as a child.
"I, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it..."
Lin Xi frowned.
From what Huo Xiang said, it seemed that the death of their mother was caused by Tianming.
However, judging from Tianming's elder brother's facial features, there was no sign that he had committed a murder, so his mother's death was not his fault.
It's conceivable that he either has a strong sense of guilt or has been brainwashed by such remarks for a long time and feels that all this is really his fault.
Judging from Huo Xiangyou's words and actions just now, Lin Xi had no doubt that the latter was the true situation.
It's just that although the strength of the headmaster Tianming in front of her is not much stronger than her, he can still be ranked among the top among the people she has met so far.
Moreover, according to rumors outside, Abbot Tianming must have stayed in Tianyun Temple for many years. He must have met many pilgrims and witnessed many stories of the people. He even helped many people solve their problems.
He thought he had seen through the mundane world, but he didn't expect that when his father encountered something related to him, he still couldn't avoid being emotional.
No wonder people often say that love is the most torturous thing.
No matter whether it is family, love, or friendship, once you fall into the wrong "feelings", you will never be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but shake his head with regret.
"Master, you are a cultivator, but you can't even figure out the saying that life and death are destined."
As he spoke, Lin Xi added a meaningful word.
"Besides, the people who should feel guilty haven't felt guilty yet, so why should it be your turn?"
Although he didn't know what happened to his grandmother, since Huo Xiangyou dared to mention it, it must not be something that needed to be kept secret. At most, it was an accident.
Most accidents represent destined disasters.
As soon as Lin Xi said this, Tianming's expression paused noticeably.
Of course he knew this, but whenever he thought of the scene at that time, especially with his brother constantly reminding him over the past few decades, he couldn't think calmly about the past.
Especially since he had not yet visited Tianyun Temple at that time, let alone learned these things, he could not remember what his mother's face looked like when she was reincarnated.
He only remembered the tragic scene when they passed away, the carriage soaked in blood...
However, what did Lin Xi mean by his last words?
What does it mean that the person who should feel guilty hasn't felt guilty yet, so it's not his turn?
Before he could figure it out, Huo Xiangyou's angry roar was heard hurriedly from the side.
This time, his voice was louder than any other time before, and he stared at Lin Xi with bulging eyes, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.
"Shut the fuck up! What do you mean by fate? My parents are obviously not going to die. It's because I had to attend a parent-teacher conference for him. If it weren't for this incident, they wouldn't have been hit by a car!"
After Huo Xiangyou finished scolding Lin Xi loudly, he quickly looked at Tian Mingzhang and reminded him with gritted teeth.
"Brother, you really haven't forgotten, have you? Your parents clearly had something to do that day and didn't plan to attend a parent-teacher conference for you. It was you who kept crying, and your parents agreed to it because they couldn't bear it..."
Thirty years ago, Tianming was only thirteen years old. He was not yet a teacher, but a junior high school student named Huo Xiangbin.
There was only an elementary school but no junior high school in the village, so he went to junior high school in town.
He had excellent academic performance since childhood. Although he entered a village primary school, he ranked first in the class in the first semester. He showed off in front of his city classmates who looked down on him as a rural student.
After the exam, the school required a parents' meeting. Huo Xiangbin ranked first in the class and wanted his parents to witness his honor with him.
However, at that time, his younger brother Huo Xiangyoucai was only three years old. He was at the age when he was ignorant but loved to run around. His parents were worried that it would be inconvenient to take care of him if they took him to school, so they decided to send only one of them.
But Huo Xiangbin really wanted them to go together, thinking that after the parent-teacher meeting was over, their family could go to town to play.
Ever since his younger brother left home, their family hasn't been to town to play together for a long time. Because it's inconvenient to bring his younger brother with him, his father usually goes to town to buy things, and his mother stays at home to take care of the child and rarely goes out.
He missed going out with his mother very much.
So he rarely showed his willfulness and kept begging his parents to be with him. In the end, he even cried and asked them if his brother was more important to them than him.
Of course, when these words were spoken, his mother immediately denied them and quickly said that he was as important as his younger brother and they loved him equally.
At the same time, they also realized that after their youngest son came out, they seemed to pay less attention to their eldest son, Huo Xiangbin. After some inner reflection, the couple finally agreed to accompany him to the parent-teacher meeting together.
The couple planned to leave their youngest son at a neighbor's house and ask the neighbor to take care of him for a few hours so that the child would not have to go through all the trouble with them.
After all, it takes nearly 40 minutes to take a bus to their town, and there are quite a lot of people on the bus, squeezing each other, and the smell is not good. The children must suffer.
But the three-year-old Huo Xiangyou kept clamoring to go along, and if he was not agreed, he would cry at the top of his lungs, and would not stop until his voice was almost hoarse.
Finally, the couple had no choice but to agree to take him with them.
But considering his youngest son's poor health, he was worried that he would feel uncomfortable when riding the bus. In the end, Mr. Huo simply contacted a friend in the village who specialized in driving cars and paid him to take them to town.
By this calculation, renting a car for a family of four is not much more expensive than taking the bus.
After packing up, the family of four got on a small van and set off for the town.
Huo Xiangbin was very happy along the way, looking at the scenery outside the window and looking forward to the scene of his family of four going to town.
Even if his parents didn't buy anything, he would feel very satisfied if they just accompanied him for a walk and a look.
There were more cars on the road that day than usual, and there were also some children who were attending parent-teacher meetings in town, so the traffic was not as smooth as usual.
Although they were riding in a seven-seater van, the driver was a friend of Huo's father, so he didn't want to really treat him as a driver, so he sat in the passenger seat and chatted with the driver.
In this case, the mother and her two children should sit in the back.
But the three-year-old Huo Xiang had never seen his father sitting in the front seat, where the view was wide, so he kept clamoring to sit in the front seat too.
It is illegal to sit like this, but they are on a rural road and no one will check. In addition, there have been more than a dozen people sitting in the small van when it has carried many people before.
Therefore, the driver didn't think it was a big deal. Seeing Huo Xiang crying, he asked Huo's father to carry him to sit on the passenger seat.
