C19 (2/2)

I was just about to clean up the dishes.

However, he didn't expect that his father would return at this critical juncture.

He was covered in dirt and dirt, and he looked very tired. It seemed like he hadn't slept at all that night.

With a bit of heartache, her grandmother went up to the hoe and then asked with heartache, ”You haven't eaten yet, right? We left some food for you. How about you eat some?”

His father hummed in a low voice as he hastily washed his face and hands. After that, he laid on the table and started to eat.

He was like a hungry ghost. After hurriedly finishing his meal, he went back into the house. From the beginning to the end, I waited at the side. I wanted to ask him a few questions, but I never got the chance to do so.

After seeing the door slam shut, I could only bitterly go back to clear up the dishes.

Not long after, I packed my things and returned to my room, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

I was still a little confused, unable to figure out which one of my father and Great Deity Li was the real one.

Time flew by very quickly. At noon, my father didn't come out to eat. When night fell, I prepared a meal and before I could call for him, he woke up.

Father didn't say anything. He just sat at the table and ate his food in a hurry. After that, he threw down his chopsticks and walked out the door.

As soon as I saw him, I realized that my father might have made another move.

Immediately, I threw down my utensils and followed him out.

My grandmother asked me what I was going to do.

This time, I didn't say anything about following my father, but from my grandmother's eyes, I could tell that she had already guessed my intention.

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

Grandma sighed and waved her hand. ”Okay, come back early.”

After I followed him out, I found that there was a small bag on my father's back. I didn't know what was inside the bag. It was very bulging and very strange.

I silently followed him to the outskirts of the village, where he listened to me in the wilderness.

I saw a dead tree where the grass was.

He walked around the wasteland for a while before he finally reached the bottom of the withered tree.

Under the bright moonlight, I saw a black thing jump down from the dead tree.

As for his father, he squatted on the ground, seemingly taking off the black object on his back and placing it on the ground.

Looking at this, I became even more doubtful. I subconsciously groped over to see if I could see more clearly.

When I get closer.

Only now did he realize that his father was feeding something inside a black bag to a black wildcat.

When I first saw the wild cat, I felt a sense of familiarity.

After careful observation, I was surprised to find that this wild cat that looked extremely docile in front of my father's eyes, isn't that the ferocious wild cat that my father released from our house?

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be shocked speechless.

This wild cat, last time he almost scratched me to death, so I hate this guy to the bone.

At this moment, I couldn't help but be speechless and immediately rushed over.

In front of me, he suddenly jumped out from the bushes.

His father was not surprised.

He didn't even look at me. His gaze was incomparably gentle as he looked at the wild cat in front of him. He then asked in an indifferent tone, ”Why are you following me again?”

I tightly clenched my fist.

At this moment, I don't quite understand the father in front of me.

Why did he treat me like this? He's my father, yet he treats me so coldly. However, towards that wild cat, his gaze is so gentle. What does this mean?

It means that there's a problem with the father...

Thinking about this, I couldn't control my emotions and shouted, ”Father, what are you doing? This black cat almost took my life while you were still feeding him.”

I wanted to see a hint of guilt on my father's face and then stop.

However, he did not do so.

He then continued to feed the black cat, casually saying, ”There are some things I don't understand.”

As he said this, his tone revealed the vicissitudes of life that I didn't understand at my age.

I nodded subconsciously.

Since he doesn't want to say it, then I can only act on my own guesses.

I immediately said, ”What relationship do you have with the black cat? Did you already know that Second Uncle would die and even get the wild cat to destroy Second Uncle's corpse?”

My voice trembled as I said this.

I can't figure out why he did it.

”He's your own little brother, how can you bear to do such a thing?”

Recalling the scenes when Second Uncle was still alive, I couldn't help but cry.

He had always been a very cold father.

At this moment, she finally turned her head and looked at me. Then, she said with incomparable emotion, ”There are some things that it's better if you don't know them. You only need to know them; everything I do is for your own good.”

That way, I wouldn't believe it at all.

After all, from the things that he did after he returned, I didn't realize that he was being cruel to me at all …

I immediately glared at him and said furiously, ”Don't lie to me. I am already 18 years old and am no longer a child. Tell me, was Second Uncle killed by you?”
