The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance
Chapter 42: Orphan (2)
Although He's mother is getting older, she is still a very experienced person because she has been with He Niu through countless hardships and dangers.
At this moment, she couldn't help but interrupt and responded:
“Of course I understand the reason!
The so-called undercover, as the name suggests, is someone who originally belonged to another camp, but deliberately lurked in our camp and secretly transmitted intelligence!
Even if his actions were exposed, he would be despised and scorned by everyone, like a rat crossing the street. But it is still a thousand times better than letting that less intelligent man be trapped in this deep forest and waste his time, reaping the benefits of others' efforts! "
After hearing what He's mother said, Wang Shi realized that the other party was determined.
Immediately, he knelt on the ground without hesitation, kowtowed three times to Mother He, and promised firmly:
"Please rest assured, Auntie! For the rest of my life, I will do my utmost to treat him well and will never treat him unfairly in the slightest!
I hope you will agree to this!"
Since Wang Shi had expressed his agreement, He's mother gladly accepted his three bows and immediately stepped forward to help him up.
.........
Wang Shi frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and worry. Finally, he couldn't help but express the last bit of doubt in his heart:
"Auntie, you once told me that in this quiet town, there is a relative named Zhou Zheng who is well-known to your husband He Niu.
So, why didn't you choose to entrust Zhao Shao to him?
After all, in terms of blood relationship, they should be closer."
When He's mother heard this, she slowly raised her head and looked towards the distant sky, as if she was lost in deep memories.
After a moment, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something important, and said in a firm and somewhat indignant tone:
"That is absolutely impossible!
As for this guy, even though he always appears to be honest and loyal, he is actually a sinister and cunning person with sweet words and a sharp tongue!
He is very meticulous and pretends to be harmless on the surface, but who knows what he is planning behind the scenes!
Moreover, as far as I know, he has a son who finally chose to flee from home because he could not tolerate his violent behavior.
How can I trust my child to someone who can be so cruel to his own flesh and blood?"
After hearing this, Wang Shi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, his face full of disbelief.
He murmured to himself:
"I never expected that he would be such a despicable person!
When I first met him yesterday, he was so attentive and considerate, always thinking of others, that I almost believed him and was fooled by him!"
Looking back now, I can't help but feel a little scared when I realize that I almost fell into the trap carefully laid by the other party.
When He's mother saw that Wang Shi agreed, her face was filled with smiles again, like a blooming spring flower. The smile was as bright as the sunlight shining through the clouds, as if she had successfully completed the sacred mission she had shouldered.
However, Wang Shi then raised a question:
"Are you really so sure that Zhao Shao will willingly follow me?"
His eyes were sharp and deep, as if he wanted to see through He's mother's expression to see her true thoughts.
Mother He raised her voice slightly and answered firmly:
"My child has always been a well-behaved, sensible and extremely obedient child!
Although he would show some rebelliousness occasionally, as long as I, his mother, gave the order, he would immediately put away those little thoughts.
Therefore, as long as it is my will, how dare he disobey it?"
As she spoke, she patted her chest, confidently demonstrating her absolute control over her son.
But Zhao Shao, who was outside the window, heard these words and wondered in his heart - doesn't my mother want me anymore?
Faced with He's mother's confidence, Wang Shi slowly shook his head, indicating that he did not agree.
He said in a deep voice:
"In my opinion, perhaps with your authority and orders, you can let Zhao Shao stay with me for a while.
But, after you turned and left, didn't you ever think of this possibility - that in order to follow you, he chose to end his life in an extreme way to achieve the so-called 'company'?"
Wang Shi's words were like a heavy hammer hitting He's mother's heart, freezing her originally smug expression in an instant.
Mother He frowned and fell into deep thought. Her already heavy expression became even more solemn, as if shrouded by an invisible pressure.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she said in a low and somewhat unbearable voice:
"It's really possible... No, I absolutely cannot watch things develop to this point. I must find a way to keep him alive."
However, Wang Shi on the side shook his head slightly, expressing a different opinion.
He responded firmly:
"In my opinion, this matter is probably beyond our control.
Perhaps, we should respect his personal wishes and choices.
Instead of interfering forcefully, why not go talk to him face to face and hear what he really thinks? "
Hearing this, He's mother couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in her eyes.
She slowly raised her head and gazed into the distance, as if trying to find some answer through the distant horizon. After a long while, she murmured softly:
"Yeah, maybe only by doing this can we understand his true feelings...
But now that I know my end is near, how can I be willing to face all this again?
Forget it, let us just stay by his side quietly and spend these last moments together.
I hope this can bring him some warmth and comfort..."
After she finished speaking, a crystal teardrop quietly slipped down the corner of He's mother's eye.
Wang Shi asked:
"Then let me bring Zhao Shao in now!"
Mother He tried hard to suppress the surging emotions in her heart and responded softly:
"OK, go ahead!"
Wang Shi stepped out of the clinic door. Before he could clearly see where Zhao Shao was, Zhao Shao had already walked quickly up to him.
Wang Shi looked somewhat helpless as he said to Zhao Shao:
"To be honest, I had originally considered leaving, but your mother's earnest persuasion finally won me over, so I decided to stay here for a while longer."
After saying this, Wang Shi's expression changed again, and he smiled and continued:
"In this way, you can take me to experience the hunting life you mentioned!
Surprised or not?
Unhappy?
Is it surprising? "
There were already crystal tears welling up in Zhao Shao's eyes, but he controlled his emotions very well and didn't let even a single tear fall. His eyes just looked a little moist.
It was because before, when he was accidentally scratched by a dry branch and burst into tears, his father He Niu had teased him like this:
"Hey, look who this is, it's our little crybaby who cries all the time.
Aren't you always saying that you want to be a man like me?"
Zhao Shao sobbed and cried:
"What does this have to do with my ability to be a man?"
He Niu was tearing a piece of cloth from his clothes vigorously while muttering:
"Hey, listen up, little guy!
As tall and strong men, we can fight for justice and ideals, we can shed sweat and even sacrifice our blood, but we must never shed a tear easily!
understand? "
After hearing this, Zhao Shao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and responded with a firm and somewhat stubborn look:
"Don't worry, Daddy, I will definitely work hard to grow into a real man in the future!"
It was as if these words had been deeply imprinted in his young mind.
Time passed quickly, and while out for a walk, Zhao Shao accidentally scratched his arm with a sharp branch.
However, this time, he did not cry because of the pain like before. Instead, he endured the pain, walked silently to He's father, and told him what had happened with an unusually calm attitude.
At this moment, Zhao Shao seemed to be truly beginning to move step by step towards the image of a man in his mind...
