Drift [Gone with the Wind Drift Doujin BL]

Scott knew Ritter, but couldn't see through him.Whenever he thinks of Rhett's long-sleeved dance, great magical powers, and at the same time, his heart is full of chivalry, Scott will involuntarily go back to Rhett's past and find the secret of his complex personality.

Later, Rhett casually talks about his past, as if telling a joke about someone else.

Rhett was smart and rebellious as a child, but also likable - except for his father.His father didn't like him because he was too much like his grandfather, a pirate who made his fortune by raiding passing ships.Rhett's father, who has become a civilized gentleman, is ashamed of his son as a pirate, but he never thinks that everything they have now is caused by his father's dishonorable behavior.On every acre of their land was the storm of the Atlantic, and on every coin of their gold was blood.Rhett's father tried his best to whitewash the disgraceful past in front of his family, and at the same time, with a strong fear of the resurgence of the wild, he rejected his clever, rebellious, and seemingly old-fashioned son.The father is rigid and strict, with cold violence and hard sticks; although the mother loves him, she is powerless and helpless.

Everything made Rhett go further and further on the road of rebellion.However, the wealth of their family is enough to support the young Rhett to have fun and spend a lot of time outside, and the reputation and prestige of the Butler family gave him the capital to make friends with large groups of foxes and dogs.Finally, the head of the family, who had finally had enough of it, found an opportunity to drive his unworthy son out of the house.

This time's departure or departure can be said to be the result of mutual consent between Rhett and his father.For Rhett, he can finally get rid of his father and all the suffocating etiquette, and live the life he wants, an unfettered life.As for his father, although he felt a little unbearable and helpless when he drove his son away, the departure of this rebellious son solved his heart disease after all-from then on, the reputation of the Butler family will be flawless, and there will be no more gossip, gossip, etc. Gossip, and no more scandals and scandals...

Rhett's father, like many old-fashioned and arrogant southern gentlemen, inherited his father's wealth and values ​​​​from birth, and he had no doubts about his peace of mind.They never think about the meaning of life, nor do they think about whether the existing norms and systems are reasonable. They just follow the rules and follow the template recognized by the mainstream values ​​of society, and go through their lives rigidly.

They live for others, and they will never experience the ecstasy and happiness of freedom.

Now that we have chosen freedom, we must face up to risks, endure risks, and insist that the existence of risks is just the price of freedom.And Rhett also liked the feeling of the heart beating in his throat, the blood boiling and accelerating in the veins.Human life is exposed to a world where the known and the unknown, opportunities and hostility coexist, how can it be possible to avoid risks, how can it be possible to be comfortable and safe.

But... Scott reviewed the plot in "Gone with the Wind", Rhett began to bow his head to the Guardians of Atlanta for the sake of his daughter.When he doesn't want to act, he can make everyone hate him to the bone; but when he exerts his acting skills, he can even conquer the most conservative and stubborn hearts.Although Rhett is a rebellious and a prodigal son, his pragmatism, wisdom, rationality, kindness and enthusiasm all lead him back to the ancient south.After being young and frivolous, he gradually discovered the preciousness and eternity of certain things in that vanished era, and the blood of a southern gentleman began to surge in his bones.Besides, he was old and tired, and he didn't want to bear the hardship and loneliness of fighting the whole world.

When Scarlett had a nightmare, Rhett comforted the frightened child with his strong arms and gentle laughter, but who comforted Rhett?Who understands the bitterness and loneliness buried in Rhett's subconscious?How much do people in this era know about Rhett's thoughts, and how much are they willing to know?

Once again, Scott establishes that both of them are people who are cut off from the world and at the same time deeply in love with a world that doesn't understand them.

Later, Rhett and Scott talked about their past, and Scott found that their experiences overlapped a lot, but Scott was lucky to avoid many detours.

In April 1851, 20-year-old Rhett Penniless Butler boarded a ship bound for San Francisco.On board, the penniless gold diggers thought they were going to get rich soon, so they didn't take the cash in their pockets seriously, and thoughtful playing of cards was a lack of confidence in the future.The gold diggers seriously say to anyone - anyone who will listen to them - that they are not for themselves, absolutely not!They risked their lives entirely for the sake of their wives and children who stayed at home.They leave home for family's sake, as if the gold diggers were guilty if they could not provide their wives and children with golden water to wash their faces and bathe in.

The ground in San Francisco is paved with formwork, and the streets are muddy enough to stick shoes off.Tents, wooden huts and stone houses stand side by side, and restaurants, hotels and brothels are all available.

This brand-new city is full of people with different skin colors and different ideas, which makes people surprised and delighted.

The gold diggers are driven mad by greed and the unknown future.No insurance company is willing to guarantee their lives.Cholera would kill them, typhoid would kill them, fester infection would kill them, whiskey would kill them, stones that fell from the sky for no reason would kill them.There is no law in the gold digger camp, whoever has a strong fist is the boss, but there are always different faces in the "boss" seat.A little dispute will detonate the tyranny, irritability and restlessness in the hearts of the gold diggers, and they often use shovels, picks, fists and guns to solve the problem.If all this is of no avail, the gold diggers will probably kill themselves.

Rhett didn't join the frenzied gold rush.He knows how little the probability of picking out gold is from the ore, and he also knows that no matter how poor the gold diggers are, they have to eat, and their clothes and tools will wear out.Rhett was brave enough and strong enough. He brought beef, whiskey, flour, tools and canvas into the camp on mules, and let the gold that the gold diggers had worked so hard for flow into his pocket.

Scott thought of his jeans business in the Gold Digger's Quarter—God forgive me, as a good citizen of time travel, I let the jeans be perfected and improved in advance.When the sturdy jeans, thick and comfortable, with leather hips and brass rivets, arrived in San Francisco, they were snapped up by workers suffering from the wear and tear of their pants.

Is this the inheritance and development of Ritter's career?

"I set up a firm in San Francisco to bear my respected name, then I sold my shares to a competitor - he fought me three or four times - and I went to New Orleans to try my luck .New Orleans is an overly French city that would shock the normal American. Its citizens are all good Catholics — thinking only of foods, drinks and love, albeit in a different order.” Scott He couldn't help but burst out laughing.Rhett glanced at him like Scott had told a nasty joke during church service.

Yes, Scott is also very familiar with New Orleans. His ship has docked at the port of New Orleans countless times. As long as he goes all the way north, Tara seems to be close at hand...

In New Orleans, orange blossom and lemon blossom are filled with the smell of meat and sin, like a woman's perfume, sensual and charming.There are racetracks, casinos, opera houses and brothels lined up one after another, as numerous as an animal's feathers.

"My beautiful Creole mistresses were always eager to marry me. And once I found out that they were going to tie me up, my liking for them evaporated," Rhett said lightly. "I I won't pretend to believe it's true knowing it's true. I won't soften my heart by wanting to share my uncertain fate with these poor little things, and I won't stay with them out of sympathy, because Sympathy is crueler than love."

Sympathy is crueler than love.
