Chapter 40 Liang's Father's Difficulties
===========================
I wish you all a happy new year 2024 and good luck;
===========================
Originally, Liang's father felt that he had no face to see his children, but recently he heard rumors that his son had killed people from the Liang family in the capital and had a grudge with the White Dragon Cult.
He also heard rumors that the two forces had joined forces and wanted to attack his children, so he had to come.
When he abandoned his children, Liang's father did not want them to be involved in the grudges of the underworld. He also knew that his children were not living well, but he did not dare to step forward for fear of involving his children in the grudges of the Liang family.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. When he heard the rumors about his children, he knew that something bad was going to happen. He went to investigate the matter personally. Then he heard that his second son who had amnesia had recovered and seemed to have become very mysterious. The nameless mountain village even had a name. Everything was beyond his expectations.
Arriving at the open space, Liang Zifeng and his companions first lit a bonfire. The temperature this year seemed to be much lower than in previous years. Liang Zifeng even wondered if they had encountered the Lesser Cold Period.
After the bonfire was lit, they took out folding tables and chairs from the top of the carriage, and the family sat around the bonfire. However, the scene was a little weird, and everyone was silent.
"Since you left, why did you come back?" Liang Zifeng broke the silence first and asked Liang's father calmly.
"Um, second brother, I..."
"My name is Liang Zifeng now, the third brother is Liang Zimu, the fourth brother is Liang Zijin, and the youngest sister is Liang Ziya."
When Liang Zifeng heard the word "second brother", he frowned subconsciously, then interrupted Liang's father and introduced the names of the brothers and sisters to Liang's father.
"Alas." After hearing this, Liang's father was stunned for a moment, then sighed somewhat dejectedly, "You...you must hate Dad very much, right?"
"As for me, no. You know I don't have a deep impression of you. I was in a daze for 12 years, and there is basically no image of you in my memory."
Liang Zifeng glanced at Liang's father, then shook his head and spoke in a tone as if he was talking to a stranger.
Liang Zifeng's tone, as if he was talking to a stranger, made Liang's father feel a little painful. When he left, he actually didn't think that Liang Zifeng could survive, so he didn't blame Liang Zifeng for being distant.
"As for the third, fourth and little sister." Liang Zifeng finished talking about himself, then looked at his younger brothers and sisters and found that except for the little girl, they all had complicated expressions.
"You should still have a chance to make amends, but." Liang Zifeng changed his tone and looked at Liang's father seriously, "When you abandoned us, no matter what the reason was, you had already hurt them, so we will not take the initiative to help you with the old man. If you want to find help, I advise you not to even think about it."
"Old... Feng'er, Daddy doesn't have this idea. When I left, I didn't want you to get involved in the grudges of the martial arts world. I wanted you to be an ordinary person.
Because I don't know when my father will die outside, but... I didn't expect it, it's fate. "Father Liang shook his head quickly, looked at Liang Zifeng, said with a guilty face, and finally sighed with some sadness.
"Then you know what? If I hadn't woken up, we would have starved to death. Even if we didn't starve to death, we would have frozen to death the next year." Liang Zifeng frowned and said in a low voice.
Seeing Liang's father's speechless and ashamed look, Liang Zifeng continued: "Do you know what they looked like when I woke up and saw them?
It's just a piece of human skin wrapped around a skeleton. Can you imagine it?
Also, the adobe houses at that time were full of wind and rain. If you were leaving, why were you in such a hurry? Couldn't you have built a good foundation for us?
What made you so cruel? "
"Stop talking, please stop talking." Liang's father seemed to be a little collapsed. He hugged his daughter tightly in his arms and wailed with tears streaming down his face.
"Can you tell me why? I, no, we are all very curious. Why did you abandon us? Even if you didn't want to involve us in the grudges of the martial arts world, you could have left us a home where we could survive. But you didn't. It felt like you left in a hurry. What was the reason?"
"Dad, I want to know why, too." The fourth brother at the side also said with a complicated expression, then looked at his third brother and said, "My third brother and I want to know why."
After Liang's father calmed down, everyone looked at him, waiting for his answer.
"Alas, Dad, I didn't expect this to happen. In fact, when I left, I left 50 taels of silver for the eldest brother, just to let you rebuild a better house. I just don't know why the eldest brother didn't do as I asked, and now the eldest brother is nowhere to be found, ..."
Everyone was extremely shocked at this moment, not knowing whether to believe what Liang's father said, because the eldest brother had never mentioned the 50 taels of silver, and from what happened later, the eldest brother did not seem to have used the 50 taels of silver, so they didn't know whether what Liang's father said was true or false.
As Liang's father told the story, Liang Zifeng and the others finally knew the whole story. Liang Tianye married a peasant woman in Yichun County and gave birth to Liang's father. He originally planned to spend the rest of his life there, but when one is in the world, many things are beyond one's control.
When Liang's father was 8 years old, Liang Tianye met his former enemy outside. Although he killed the other party in the end, his whereabouts were exposed. So he sent his wife and children to the newly established Wuming Mountain Village, and went to lure away his enemy.
Then he would secretly return to Wuming Mountain Village from time to time to take care of the mother and son. When Liang's father grew up, he often followed Liang Tianye out to explore the world and learned about the cruelty of the world.
After Liang's father got married and had children, he planned to retire and no longer care about the grudges in the outside world. He planned to spend the rest of his life with his wife and children in the nameless mountain village. He had countless quarrels with Liang Tianye for this.
But no one expected that in the second year after Liang Ziya was born, Liang's father and mother met the inner disciples of Shengding Sect outside Yichun County. The inner disciples of Shengding Sect actually took a fancy to Liang's mother and wanted to keep her by their side as a cauldron, so a war broke out.
The final result was that the inner disciples of Shengding Sect had better cultivation, and Liang's father and mother were also seriously injured. If Liang Tianye had not arrived in time, they might have both died. Unfortunately, Liang's mother was seriously injured and eventually died.
Then, Liang's father, whose heart was filled with hatred, abandoned his children and followed Liang Tianye to seek revenge.
After listening to Liang's father's story, Liang Zifeng and others felt mixed emotions. Although Liang's father's emotions were understandable, once some damage was done, it would not be easy to repair.
