Chapter Thirty-one: [Farewell and the road to the future](1/2)
(Read the novel to its peak)
Uncle Fu's voice seemed a bit hollow, without any emotion, and he said hoarsely: "After your mother was taken away by the Vatican, your father tried every means to rescue her, using all the forces at his disposal, even at the cost of violating his own will."
Principle and position to save your mother. Unfortunately, the Holy See is too powerful. No one can oppose it. Against its will, all your father's efforts will be in vain. He even thought of breaking into the Holy See headquarters alone.
Rescue your mother, but this is unrealistic after all. Not to mention the mysterious Pope, the Chief Judge and the Holy Knights are not so easy to deal with. All your father's hopes are fading day by day, and the endless waiting only results in no news.
and disappointment.
In the end, although your father missed your mother very much and missed her, he gave up and no longer expected to see her again. After a period of time, there was no news from your mother, and there was no news from the Holy See.
When the news came, we thought that the saint had been executed. Those days were also the most difficult and the most depressed for your father." At this point, Uncle Fu's voice changed and he said with some excitement: "I didn't let it go.
What we are thinking of is that one morning the servant found a swaddling baby at the door of the house. The baby was very beautiful and cute. The most important thing was that inside the swaddling baby there was a letter from a saint to the master, and the baby's
You also wear the necklace your father gave your mother around your neck."
"That child is me?"
Uncle Fu nodded and said: "Yes, that child is you, young master. You looked very similar to your father at that time. Your mother's letter did not say anything, but she just asked your father to take good care of you.
Good on you, don't worry about her, and don't try to save her anymore. As long as you are brought up, it will be the greatest comfort to her. But although the letter did not say it clearly, under the strict system of the Holy See, your mother has been successful.
You can imagine how difficult and risky it is for you to be born. Because the Holy See does not allow the son of sin in their eyes to come. If it weren’t for the help of noble people back then, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be where you are today. It’s a pity that we
I don’t know who that noble person is, otherwise I would definitely repay him well.
It was also from then on that your father obeyed the arrangements in your mother's letter and did not try to find her to rescue her, but raised you with peace of mind. Since then, there has been no more news about your mother.
If nothing else goes wrong, the saint may have died." Uncle Fu's voice was choked with sobs. This incident has always been a pain in his heart. It was also from that time that the Lin family gradually declined. Now that the old things are brought up again, it is inevitable that there will be some bitterness.
, "Master, I know you have always blamed me for not taking good care of you for so many years and not fulfilling the responsibilities of a father, but you don't know the pain of me! Back then, he was full of thoughts and must rescue you.
His mother, even though he lost everything and was shattered to pieces, a letter from your mother interrupted all his thoughts. He had to give up revenge and instead raised you with peace of mind. But the pain, hatred and longing in his heart were still there.
It did not disappear for a moment, but became deeper and deeper as time went by. So he began to sink and degenerate. He was in a muddle all day long, resorting to drinking to get by. Perhaps only after being drunk could he forget that painful memory.
But the changes that happened to you changed the master and rekindled the hatred, pain and longing hidden in his body. Seeing you grow up, he felt relieved, and then he made up his mind to take revenge. Although he knew
What he did was so stupid, and his opponent was so powerful, but the obsession in his heart and the unique blood and courage of the Lin family men made him take this step resolutely."
After listening to Uncle Fu's description, Lin Tao was silent for a long time, and his heart was filled with pain. It was not until this moment that he truly understood his father's past and the reasons for his downfall. A son could not understand his father so well.
Lin Tao also felt ridiculous for his behavior.
A rage of anger arose in his heart, and a seed of revenge had already taken root in his heart and sprouted at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, Lin Tao swore that he would make the Holy See swallow the consequences of what he had done, for the sake of his father, his mother, and himself. No matter how powerful the Holy See was, so what, revenge had to be avenged, and hatred had to be given up!
In this way, the old and the young were immersed in sorrow
After a long time, Lin Tao, who buried his head deeply in his arms, suddenly realized that it was getting late. He had another more important thing to do, and he could not delay it any longer. He then said: "Uncle Fu, there is a letter from my father.
Mentioned, let us leave Fanmeer City quickly and go as far as possible until the people from the Holy See cannot find us. We will come back when we are strong enough."
Uncle Fu nodded, relieved from his sadness. The situation in front of him was indeed urgent. "The master is right, you must leave immediately, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. We already discovered that back then, although the Holy See was sanctimonious on the surface,
, but in fact he is an executioner who kills without blinking an eye. If he is caught by them, he will only die."
"You go and clean up, we will leave immediately." Lin Tao made a quick decision and said coldly.
After hearing Lin Tao's words, Uncle Fu did not act. Instead, he shook his head dully, "Master, please go. I am old and no longer fit to run around. If I follow you, I will only drag you down."
What should I do if someone from the Holy See comes after me? Besides, I have lived in Lin Mansion for decades and I can’t bear to leave here. The most glorious years of my life were spent here, especially in my later years.
I am even more reluctant to leave. I will use my last breath to take good care of the Lin Mansion and stay with this house." Uncle Fu's words were not loud and his speech speed was not very fast, but it was indeed shocking to Lin Tao.
Yes, these are words from the heart of a loyal old man!
Although what Uncle Fu said made sense, Lin Tao could not agree with him. Over the past few decades, the Lin family had already regarded Uncle Fu as one of their own, and Lin Tao even regarded him as his own relative. Looking at Fu Bo,
Uncle Fu was taken away by people from the Holy See, which Lin Tao could not do at any cost. "Uncle Fu, I understand your feelings, but I will never agree to what you do no matter what. Now that my father does not know whether he is alive or dead, I will become
As the head of the Lin family, I want you to leave with me immediately."
Uncle Fu opened his mouth, and the tears in his eyes had already slipped down his cheeks. You can imagine how moved he was. Decades of hard work and a few small words were all in vain at this moment.
Since Lin Tao said this, he naturally couldn't refute it, so he had no choice but to nod his head, and then the three of them took two steps at a time to take care of everything.
Fu Bo is very fast, and he quickly handled everything in just half an hour, which shows his ability.
The servants and guards seemed a little confused after hearing the sudden news. After all, working in the Lin Mansion was an excellent job for them. Without this job, life at home would instantly become very difficult.
.But after seeing the generous severance package given by Fu Bo, he could only sigh helplessly and accept the reality in front of him.
After a while, dozens of servants and guards disappeared completely. Only Lin Tao's maid Ruolan said goodbye to them with red eyes and a look of reluctance, which made Lin Tao sigh for a while. This maid, Lin Tao, too
I liked him very much, and I was a little bit reluctant to say goodbye so suddenly.
After taking care of everything, only two people, Lin Tao and Uncle Fu, were left in the huge Lin Mansion. All the concierges had been completely locked. Many important things that could not be taken away were placed in the secret room of the study by Uncle Fu.
, I believe that even if people from the Vatican come to investigate, they will not find it.
Looking at the closed door of the Lin Mansion and the weather-beaten wall, Lin Tao and Uncle Fu felt uncomfortable, and they had to leave their hometowns from now on. Everything here will become memories, forever sealed in dust.
in their memory
Standing on the busy and lively streets of Fanmeer City, there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, and the sounds of hawking and shouting come and go.
But Lin Tao felt that all this was so strange. He seemed to be incompatible with this world. It turned out that he did not belong to such a world at all. Lin Tao sighed silently in his heart. Maybe he was born to work hard and was not suitable to be a playboy.
, he smiled bitterly.
Just when Lin Tao was sighing and Uncle Fu was remembering him, a slender figure walked from the other end of the street, walking vigorously.
The not strong glare of the setting sun made Lin Tao narrow his eyes slightly. After looking closely, he saw this beautiful figure. Seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, Lin Tao seemed a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"
A smile appeared on Luo Yashan's bright face, and she asked: "Don't you think what you asked is a bit funny? I have been involved in this matter, so there is nothing strange about knowing that you will leave Fanmeer City in the future. It is.
When you left, didn’t you say hello to me as your friend?”
Being choked by Luo Yashan, Lin Tao smiled sheepishly, a little embarrassed: "I forgot that with the power of the Luo family, how could they not know the news that I was about to flee? But your appearance surprised me.
I didn't expect you to show up at this time."
Luo Yashan's words of friendship made Lin Tao feel very warm in his heart. This was the first true friend and confidante he had made after coming to this world.
"I believe you understand the power of the Holy See. Are you still planning to stand on its opposite side at this time?"
Lin Tao smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have never changed."
Lin Tao's answer made Luo Yashan a little sad, but after just a moment, she put aside the sadness and laughed, "Yes, if you don't do this, you won't be the Lin Tao I know. It's a pity that in your choice
I can't provide you much help on the road, after all, my identity is here, and sometimes I can't help myself."
Lin Tao nodded nonchalantly, "I understand, and I don't want to make it difficult for you. I can understand your difficulties."
"But I can help with some small things that are easy to do." Luo Yashan smiled playfully.
"It's true that I don't need any help. I have to walk the road in the future by myself, and I can't rely on you."
Luo Yashan sighed, but then she saw Uncle Fu next to Lin Tao who had been looking back at Lin Mansion in a daze, and her eyes lit up: "Perhaps, I can help you take care of this old man. Are you so cruel?
At such an old age, he still goes on adventures with you?"
Luo Yashan's words made Lin Tao's heart light up. Indeed, it was inappropriate for Uncle Fu to follow him. After all, he was very confused now and didn't even know where he was going. Not to mention how dangerous the road ahead was. It was very likely that
Facing the pursuit of the Holy See, it is really inconvenient to wear Fu Bo, and I don't want to see him suffer with me. "Is this convenient?"
"What's the inconvenience? It's just an old man with no power. Not to mention that people from the Holy See may not be able to know. Even if they know, what can they do? Although our Luo family is not as powerful as the Holy See, we are not that powerful either.
Weak." When Luo Yashan said this, her tone was very firm.
Lin Tao nodded and agreed to Luo Yashan's suggestion, "Okay, I'll spare you the trouble. Don't worry, if I have the chance to come back, I will definitely repay you for everything you have done today. Uncle Fu has stayed in our Lin family all his life.
, he spent all the good times of his life in the Lin family, starting from my grandfather's generation. He has suffered too much over the years, and I don't want to see him continue to suffer with me. To be honest, I feel very guilty.
, not only failed to give him a stable and happy old age, but also made him lose his own home. You are right, no matter what, I can't take everything with him to take risks. That would be too selfish, right?
Let him enjoy the rest of his days. So, I leave it to you." Lin Tao's words were very serious, very sincere, and they were all spoken from the heart.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of him. You should be careful when you are out alone, especially when you leave your hometown and encounter unknown difficulties. Maybe the Holy See will hunt you down at some point, so be careful about everything." Luo Yashan was a little uneasy.
After saying these words, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable in my heart, as if something was suddenly missing and empty.
Lin Tao smiled and said, "Thank you, I will pay attention to safety."
At this time, Uncle Fu, who had been immersed in reluctance, heard the conversation between the two and said anxiously: "Master, no, I must stay with you. I have served the Lin family all my life. I don't want to do it again when I am old.
If I don't do it well, I have already been ashamed of Master Lin Meng. If I didn't fulfill his instructions before his death, I can't make any more mistakes now. What's more, you have never traveled far since you were a child. You will inevitably encounter troubles like this when you are outside.
.Although the old man is old, he can still handle some things well, so just let me accompany you."
Lin Tao shook his head firmly, unmoved by Uncle Fu's words, "Uncle Fu, please don't say any more about what I have decided. As Miss Luo said, it will be in danger for you to follow me, and I don't want you to live in this life."
You are in danger. Don't say anything that you are not ashamed of. You have done enough in your life and you are good enough. The Lin family does not need you to give anything more. On the contrary, your kindness will not be repaid by the Lin family for generations.
Ah. Thank you, Uncle Fu!"
Seeing that there was no way back, Uncle Fu felt sad, and nodded, agreeing.
Seeing the true emotions between the master and the servant in front of her, Luo Yashan almost had the urge to cry. She had never thought that there could be true love between the master and the slave. She was even more interested in this old man.
