In fact, it's not surprising that Lu Yunxiang had this reaction. His biological father, who had raised him for ten years, suddenly appeared in front of him in such a strange image. Even a child might not be able to accept it.
Not to mention Lu Yunxiang, even Shao Xi and others felt that the Land Rover in front of them was so strange.
Over the past few days, in their eyes, Lu Rover had always been the innkeeper who was honest, tolerant, and even felt a little cowardly.
But standing in front of them at this time was a butcher who killed people like dogs with a knife in his hand. This extreme contrast in impression almost shocked everyone's heart.
But the questions asked by Lu Yunxiang could not be answered by anyone except Lu Rover.
yes! Who is he? Even his own son couldn't see his true face, so how could others know?
Lu Hu seemed to be stunned by Lu Yunxiang's words, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Shao Xi spoke.
"We can sit down and talk about these things slowly. The top priority right now is to deal with these dead people. If the leader of this group of horse bandits finds out, I'm afraid you will be in big trouble."
Sun Lichang understood this and hurriedly called his porters and guards to begin transporting the corpses of the horse bandits inside and outside the inn to a distant place and secretly buried them. He also cleaned the inn inside and out so as not to leave any traces.
Regardless of whether this was useful or not, we couldn't just leave these corpses there. The strong smell of blood had already made everyone unable to eat.
Everyone worked together to drag more than twenty horse bandits, including Li Ermazi, to the depths of the oasis and bury them. They also cleaned up the blood stains inside and outside the inn, and even opened doors and windows to disperse the smell of blood in the inn.
All of this was carried out in a hurry under the leadership of the caravan guard leader, while Shao Xi pulled Lu Lu and his son aside and sat down.
He turned to Lu Hu and asked: "What your son is asking you is actually what I want to know. With Shopkeeper Lu's skill, he must have been an unknown person back then. Why is he reduced to this now? Even if you have some secrets that you can't say, you can't tell me anything." Has your son been hiding it for so long?"
Lu Hu glanced at Shao Xi, then turned to look at his son Lu Yunxiang. Maybe he knew that there were some things that he could no longer hide, or maybe he felt that his son had grown up and there were some things that he should let him know.
So he sighed and said slowly: "This matter can be traced back to twelve years ago. Maybe you don't know that more than ten years ago, there were famous horse bandits within a hundred miles of this desert. It was not the Yesha Gang today, but the Shuanghu Gang, and I was the leader of the Shuanghu Gang back then.
"The current leader of the Yesha Gang, Sha Hu, was the second leader of the Shuanghu Gang back then, and he was also my sworn brother. At that time, we roamed the desert, robbed merchants, and did a lot of murder and smuggling.
"I was in my thirties at the time, while Shahu was less than thirty. At that time, we were very high-spirited and felt that we were the masters of this desert. We killed people, took property, and kidnapped women and children, but we didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt in our hearts.
"It wasn't until twelve years ago that I met Yunxiang's mother. His mother was originally the daughter of a caravan porter. She traveled with the caravan to the Western Regions and the Central Plains, just to make money with her father.
"When we robbed a caravan, we kidnapped her into the camp. Seeing that she was young, beautiful, simple and virtuous, I decided to take her in as my wife. In order to save her father's life, she finally committed herself to me.
"After two years of getting along day and night, she finally made me understand that life is not just for temporary happiness. People will eventually grow old, and all they want in the end is stability.
“So the two of us agreed that after the child was born, I would wash my hands of my family and end this life of bloody killings, and live a peaceful life as a family of three.
"How could I know that when my wife was giving birth, she unfortunately died in order to save the life of the child Yunxiang. Before she died, she repeatedly asked me to let the child grow up safely and not to experience the life I once had.
"So I handed over the Shuanghu Gang to my second brother Shahu, left the Shuanghu Gang alone with my children and the body of my late wife, came to this oasis, buried my wife here, and opened this inn with my son. From now on, I stay away from right and wrong just to let this child grow up safely and live his own life from now on.
"I don't know when the Shuanghu Gang changed its name to the Yesha Gang. It must have been after Shahu became the boss!
"Then Li Ermazi probably received the second title of his subordinate after I left, so he doesn't know who I am, and I don't want Sha Hu to know that I am here now, so I have been holding back.
"I have never forgotten my wife's instructions, and I don't want Yunxiang, the child, to face killings again because of me. But today, Li Ermazi actually hit Yunxiang. This is what touched my back. How he beat, It doesn’t matter if you humiliate me, but whoever dares to touch my son must die.”
Lu Rover told his past in one breath, and everyone sighed secretly after listening to it. What a pity for the parents in the world!
When the prodigal son of Land Rover turned around, he never forgot his wife's instructions to raise Lu Yunxiang alone, and gave up everything in the past in order to let his son have a peaceful and stable life.
Even when he was bullied and squeezed, he always swallowed his anger, not wanting the child to know about his father's bloodthirsty killing past, and not wanting the child to be involved in grudges and disputes.
Maybe Land Rover is not perfect in many places, but as a leader of horse bandits who once galloped across the desert, and now he can do this for his son, who can say that he is not a qualified father?
Maybe his extreme forbearance is so unbearable in Lu Yunxiang's eyes, but isn't Lu Hu's life turning around like this the deepest love he has for his late wife and his son?
It took him ten years to transform himself from a horse bandit to an innkeeper, from a murderous murderer to a submissive, timid father.
No one knows how much he has paid. All he has done is just for Lu Yunxiang. He only hopes that his son's life will be free of bloody violence and cruel killings.
His son was his bottom line. If Li Ermazi hadn't been aggressive again and again and hadn't hurt Lu Yunxiang today, maybe he would have continued to be tolerant like this.
But Shao Xi could also see that Li Ermazi's persecution seemed to have made Lu Rover intolerable.
Before he begged himself and others to take Lu Yunxiang away, maybe he just wanted to face the Yesha Gang alone. Since he could no longer guarantee that he could bring his son a stable life, his minimum request was to keep his son away from killings.
If Shao Xi had not rejected his request, if the sandstorm in the past three days had not intercepted Shao Xi and others at the inn, Shao Xi could not guess what decision Lu Lu would make when facing the Yesha Gang.
Maybe he would choose to continue to tolerate it in order to protect his deceased wife. Maybe he would go on a killing spree like today after Lu Yunxiang left and not hide it anymore.
But no matter what, he didn't want his son to bear what he was about to face.
But today, Li Ermazi made a wrong decision and actually hurt Lu Yunxiang.
As Lu Rover himself said, his son is his inverse scale. He can tolerate hurting him, but he will never tolerate hurting his son no matter what.
In the end, Lu Rover let Lu Yunxiang see what he least wanted Lu Yunxiang to see. None of this was what he wanted.
But now that everything has happened, he can only tell everything. It seems that he has made some kind of decision.
After hearing Lu Hu's story, Shao Xi turned to look at Lu Yunxiang. Lu Yunxiang's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
It seems that he never thought that his father was the kind of person he hated the most, and he never thought that all his father's grievances and cowardice were because of him.
At this time, the child's self-esteem seemed to be greatly hurt, and his eyes revealed deep sadness.
"You are not my father. My father can never be a horse bandit. Although my father is timid and timid, my father has always been a kind person.
"You are not my father, you are a wicked person. My mother will never marry a wicked person, and I will never be the son of a wicked person!"
Lu Yunxiang suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs. He couldn't accept the reality in front of him. He couldn't believe that his father was actually a horse bandit who was more hated than Li Ermazi.
He couldn't even believe that his father was once a bloodthirsty maniac, a villain whose hands were stained with blood.
Although in his eyes the former Land Rover was a weak and incompetent father whom he had always despised, hated, but at least that father had always been a kind person in his heart, a good person who was timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
But when he knew that everything was different from what he imagined, he couldn't accept it!
He couldn't accept the reality that Land Rover was once a horse bandit, and he couldn't accept that the image of his father in his heart had been so subverted.
At this moment, he would rather his father was still the innkeeper who nodded and bowed when meeting people, with a smile on his face, rather than seeing his father be a bloody horse bandit who had done all kinds of evil things.
He could not accept that he was the son of a horse bandit, because in his little heart, the horse bandit was always the person he hated the most.
"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to accuse your father? Why do you erase all the contributions your father has made to you as soon as you open your mouth?
"Isn't it because of you that your father is what he is now? For someone who has done so much for you, what qualifications do you have to point fingers and pick at him?"
A woman's voice sounded from the stairs, causing everyone present to look up at the speaker.
I saw Aria and Sun Poyun walking down the stairs.
