795: We two brothers really share the same suffering.
After Xiao Wu returned to his parents' side in the company, he gradually regained consciousness after several years of careful care.
He thought of the old forest where he used to live and the small wooden house where he lived, but he didn't know where that place was. He asked his father Lao Wu, and Lao Wu told him that it was the logging company of their farm, but now it has become a forest farm.
Xiao Wu said that he wanted to go to the forest farm to take a look.
Seeing that his son seemed to miss that place very much, Lao Wu bravely took his son there.
Xiao Wu came to the forest farm and followed his vague memory to find the old site of the cabin. It had been razed to the ground, but some wooden foundations could still be seen remaining on the ground.
He recognized the place and remembered how he came to this place.
After leaving home, he walked here in a daze. When he was about to starve to death at the foot of the mountain, he looked up and saw white smoke coming out from the hillside. He knew there were houses there, so he went towards the place where the smoke was coming out.
Several wooden houses were found on the hillside, and in the houses there lived an old man with a white beard.
The old man was wrapped in animal skins, had long hair, and was holding an old hunting rifle. He was an Oroqen hunter who stayed in the mountains.
It was the old Oroqen hunter who took him in, taught him how to hunt, and told him how to survive in the mountains.
After Xiao Wu learned how to survive in the mountains, the old hunter passed away as if he had completed his last mission in this world.
Before leaving, the old hunter said the last words to Xiao Wu: Don't be afraid, the mountain god will protect you.
He died after saying this.
Xiao Wu buried the old hunter and then lived alone in the vast forest.
Live there for many years.
Because he lived alone for a long time and had no one to talk to for years, the great loneliness and sad past finally made Xiao Wu gradually lose his mind.
Many years later, when the logging team went into the mountains to cut down trees, Xiao Wu had become a crazy and skinny monkey who didn't know who he was.
The people in the logging company saw that he was thin and small, so they named him Skinny Monkey. Later, Yu Zhengxian came.
Skinny Monkey was very aggressive towards the people in the logging team, but he was not so averse to Yu Zhengxian.
Yu Zhengxian battled wits and courage with the skinny monkey and gradually accepted him. From then on, one of them was a savage and the other was a skinny monkey, and they depended on each other in the cabin.
After a battle of wits and courage between Yu Zhengxian and Shouhou, Shouhou gradually accepted him.
Later, the skinny monkey was brought down the mountain to find his relatives and turned back into the original Xiao Wu, but he still missed the old forest.
Seeing that his son seemed unable to forget that place, Lao Wu thought that since the Eighth Company had so many bad memories, it would be better for him to take his wife and son away from there and move the whole family to the forest farm.
After a long period of coordination, the family was finally transferred to the forest farm and became forest farm employees.
Lao Wu didn't expect that on the first day the family arrived, they would meet Yu Jiahui's eldest son, nor did he expect that Yu Jiahui's eldest son is now the deputy director of the forest farm.
Of course, he didn't expect that this deputy director was the one who hunted with his son on the mountain that year. It was because of Yu Zhengxian that he accidentally found his son.
After listening to Lao Wu's words, Yu Zhengxian realized that the whole story was so coincidental, as if it was a play.
After knowing Xiao Wu's past, Yu Zhengxian became closer to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu is still very taciturn and won't say a word for a long time unless it is necessary.
He would only talk to Yu Zhengxian when he was drunk. Yu Zhengxian would often bring a bottle of wine to Xiaowu to drink with. The two of them would take turns drinking from the bottle, and when they were drunk, they would say anything.
Once, when they were drinking, Yu Zhengxian asked Xiao Wu:
"Why did you run away from home? What made you sad?"
"Didn't my dad tell you?"
"No, he didn't."
"Do you want to hear it?"
"I want to hear it."
“——”
Xiao Wu remained silent, his expression tense, as if he had suffered great injustice and was about to cry.
Yu Zhengxian hurriedly said:
"It's okay. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Who doesn't have some troubles?"
Yu Zhengxian snatched the bottle from Xiao Wu's hand and took another sip of the liquor. After drinking it, Xiao Wu spoke:
"Thinking about it now, it's just like what happened in my previous life—"
Xiao Wu finally told Yu Zhengxian his story about him and that girl.
After hearing this, Yu Zhengxian held Xiao Wu's shoulders with red eyes:
"We two brothers really share the same suffering!"
For the first time, Xiao Wu told others about the past that he had buried in his heart. After speaking out, he felt much better. He also took a sip of wine, raised his head and asked:
"What’s wrong with you?"
"My situation is similar to yours, but also different. The difference is that the girl didn't like me. Maybe, she liked me a little bit, but I was the one who messed with her and ruined the whole thing. She took the child and left."
"Where did you go?"
"Back to the capital. Have you ever been to the capital?"
Xiao Wu shook his head: "No."
"I haven't either. I took the train through Beijing when I came here and saw it for a while, but I don't know what Beijing is like outside the train station."
Xiao Wu looked at Yu Zhengxian's face full of longing and said:
"You can go find her."
"How can I have the face to go to them? They don't like me at all. They didn't like me back then, let alone after so many years. Now that my children are several years old, they like me even less."
Xiao Wu looked envious:
"You are better than me. At least you are still alive. I can always see you when I want to."
Yu Zhengxian pondered Xiao Wu's words and nodded:
"Yes, at least he's still alive. Maybe we can see him again someday. What about your son? Where is he now?"
"I live with my sister in another place."
"Have you seen him?"
"Yes, I saw him a year ago."
"Does he know you're his dad?"
"I don't know. He calls me uncle."
"That's good, it's good this way. It's best if he never knows you're his father."
"That's what I thought."
Yu Zhengxian thought of himself when he heard Xiao Wu's situation. He originally thought that he was very miserable, but when compared with Xiao Wu, he felt that he was actually very lucky.
Fortunately, the child’s mother is still alive, and the child now has his surname and does not have to call him uncle.
Even if Chen Ci marries someone else in the future, he will still be his son's biological father and can openly recognize this son.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhengxian felt very comforted.
He took out the deerskin bag hidden in his arms, which contained more than a dozen photos of his son, from the earliest photo of him lying in the nest basket to the photo of him running and jumping in the park in shorts and short sleeves. His son is now two years old and is said to be able to go to kindergarten next year.
The child has grown up, but he has never seen him once.
The last time they met, their son was less than a month old. He only saw him a few times, and his impression of his son still remained at the time when he was less than a month old.
