Chapter 112: The Past (Part 1)
The wind blew quietly from the rocks, blowing into our ears along with Uncle Johnny's voice.
"This is Phaya, or this is where Phaya's last refuge lies." This is Uncle Johnny's opening remarks, and the Phaya it refers to is the red flower swinging slightly on the edge of the rock.
Although I had expected it, I was more or less surprised when I heard Uncle Johnny really say this. Uncle Johnny's sister's soul is really pinned on a red flower? After so many years,
Why has Uncle Johnny never been to this place?
At that moment, I had a desire to open my eyes and see what the reality behind the red flower was? Would it allow me to see a beautiful Indian woman in its true form?
But I won’t do that. In fact, it is impolite and even provocative to open my eyes to peer into the soul when it is not necessary. It is uncle Johnny’s sister. If I do this, uncle Johnny will do the same.
Wouldn't agree.
As if he had glimpsed my thoughts, Uncle Johnny looked at the red flower and said: "Do you really want to see the beautiful Thya? Then when the singing starts at night, you will see it. Wait a minute
, maybe you will see it too, but put away your curiosity now and don’t disturb its peace.”
When Uncle Johnny said this, the red flower began to sway gently again, as if in response to Uncle Johnny, and Uncle Johnny stood up, looked into the distance of the deep pool and said: "Many years ago
Now that I think about it, it's so long ago that it feels like I'm reading another person's story. The only thing is the same,
Whether it’s my story or someone else’s story, if you look back on this past again, the deepest part of your heart will still bleed. I never think that I am not wrong, but it is really difficult to admit some of my mistakes.
, the most difficult thing to accept is that when you really face a mistake, the price has already been paid."
When he said this, Uncle Johnny wanted to touch the wine as a habit, but his iron flask that he had thrown around many times was actually thrown away this time. Where could he find it?
out?
Therefore, he could only smile awkwardly, then squat down, gently stroke the swaying red flower, and then said in a low voice: "Where should I start? When I was very, very young."

In 1872, Tripathi Sharma was born in a manor on the outskirts of a large city in India.
At that time, India was still under British colonial rule, but this did not affect the generous life that Sharma could enjoy since he was born. Sharma's ancient surname had long destined him to be noble, and his
Parents are not the kind of people who have noble blood but no real power and wealth in their hands.
"My parents are very kind, that's how it seems to me. The world at that time was undoubtedly in dire straits, and technological changes were destined to bring about changes in the world structure. There were wars spreading everywhere, and new people who were empowered by technology were everywhere.
A new wave of emerging countries are conquering ancient, wealthy countries with a long history. My country has undoubtedly fallen into this kind of conquest. It has made my parents suffer, but they are helpless. They are more focused on religion.
Medium, but sincere
Their belief makes them a little more kind than other nobles, but only a little more kind. In general, my home is like a paradise, a paradise under the protection of my parents. They did not let me have too much contact in my childhood.
This world, and even their pain, is like clearly hating being colonized, but for the sake of power and wealth, or peace, they have to cater to them, and being with those British guys Zhou Xuan." Uncle Johnny used this sentence to summarize his childhood life
of.
In any case, at that time, little Sharma did not have such a deep understanding of his parents in this world.
He just grew up happily in such a paradise environment and under the care of kind-hearted parents.
He had a good life, received the best education, and was baptized in religion. His childhood was not lonely, because he had a playmate named Patel. No matter what he was doing, he always had the influence of Patel.
Companionship, because of this kind of companionship, Patel got the same conditions as Sharma, such as a good life, a good education, and a good religious baptism.
"If we tell the truth, all this must be unbelievable in the eyes of others, but our family has not told anyone the truth. That is that Patel is actually a Dalit. Under the caste system, he is lower than the lowest.
People of lower caste. You can understand them as 'untouchables', or 'enslaved people'
Unclean people'. Even the lowest caste will not go near them because they are filthy and they do not deserve to have names. In short, there are too many rules to trample on this lowest caste. When I was a child, I didn't know it.
Patel is a Dalit." Regarding the appearance of Patel, Uncle Johnny said this.
Yes, little Sharma did not know that Patel was a Dalit. In fact, so what if he knew? In the innocent world of children, judgments on everything are very simple. He and I can talk easily.
, we had a lot of fun together, and he was very nice to me, which was enough to establish friendship.
Identity, status, money, and differences are not reasons!
In Sharma's eyes, Patel is a very handsome boy. Not only that, he also has a strong body and a smart brain. Even when he received religious baptism and learned everything about religion, Patel also
He showed more talent than Sharma, although Sharma's talent has already made people marvel.
But all this did not make Sharma jealous, because the memories of growing up in the past eight years quickly flowed, letting Sharma know that Patel was one of the best people in the world to him, and he was like a protective younger brother.
He is an elder brother who protects Sharma. Even if there is a dispute between naughty boys, he will always stand in front of Sharma, even if he is beaten to a bloody head.
"You don't have to do this next time. I can also let them taste my power. My boxing skills and even yoga have been learned very well. Patel, you can't always let yourself get hurt." Sharma once said
Said this to Patel.
That was also the first time he saw the deep sadness in Patel's eyes: "Even if you are very powerful, I can't let you get hurt at all. Sharma, you don't know the difference between you and me.
Well, even if there are not these differences, from my heart, I am willing to do this, and I am grateful for this kind of life."
Sharma could not understand these words at the time, but for the first time he was smart and felt the distance between Patel and him, as well as Patel's incredible precocity.
Time passed quietly, and when Patel was ten years old and Sharma was eight years old, Sharma's sister was born, Valicia Sharma. In addition, she also had a cute nickname - Na
Ya!
"Nya is a cute, innocent and kind-hearted girl who is heartbreaking. Forgive me for using all the best adjectives in the world to describe her, because she deserves such praise. Her birth was like a blessing to our family.
The coming of sunshine has also brought something different to the lives of me and Patel. Well, what is it? Two
In this masculine world of boys, suddenly there is a soft, kind-hearted beauty belonging to girls. Patel and I both love her, love her, and care about her." When mentioning Yaya, Uncle Johnny's tone was...
Unconsciously and tenderly, we can all feel his love for his sister. It is sincere and comes from the love of a brother.
Those were the happiest years of growing up, with two smart and powerful brothers and a kind and beautiful sister who admired them all.
Their happy life, everything beautiful, is like a fairy tale. Their "adventurous" footprints have traveled throughout the entire huge manor and even nearby territories. Each time they harvest are beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
But in this world, the most ruthless and affectionate thing is time. The ruthless thing is that it can take away all your good things. Fortunately, it can also heal any of your wounds. It exists fairly, not because
Whoever is greater will have one more minute of daytime and one minute less nighttime.
In the blink of an eye, Sharma was eighteen years old, Patel was twenty years old, and Thaya was twelve years old that year.
At that time, according to their age, Patel and Sharma should have had a wife, but they did not, just because something different happened to them.
"That's a secret, a secret that our family keeps secret! In the land of India, there are really powerful religious people who have all kinds of magical spells or abilities. Now of course I understand that this is
The so-called cultivators, but I didn’t know it at that time. The circle of cultivators is a special existence. In this religious country, it has an unreachable status. I have this talent, and so does Patel, who is even better than me.
.However, our treatment is not the same." Uncle Johnny said.
At that time, Sharma already knew Patel's true identity, that he was a Dalit. The reason why he and Sharma were able to grow up together was because of the kindness of his parents, which was a bit different from other nobles.
.
Patel's father once saved the life of Shamal's father and sacrificed his own life for this, so Patel became this lucky child and could grow up with the most noble Brahmin! Although Brahmin generally
They are religious figures, but this does not prevent them from being powerful and wealthy. Even because of their caste, it is more convenient for them to get all these things. Therefore, Patel's sensitive identity makes many people jealous and makes many people speculate.
But the truth will always be known only to the Sharma family.
"You know, people are born into different categories. In the eyes of many people, it is a matter of course for a slave to defend his master and sacrifice his life. But in my opinion, even a lowly life is a life, and we should
I’m grateful. Patel’s father not only saved me, but also touched me at the time. Raising Patel is not a difficult thing, and I think this is the repayment I should have.” Sharma’s father is
So said to Sharma.
It was such a little bit of kindness that made his parents make such a decision, but to Sharma's ears, these words seemed a little awkward and felt like charity.
But the caste system is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that it is an insurmountable obstacle. Sharma also thinks that this guy Patel is lucky enough.
Therefore, even though Patel is more talented than him, he is still the Son of God to the outside world. Sharma also feels that there is nothing wrong with it. Even if it is Patel who becomes the Son of God, it is a misfortune. If people know that he is
