082 Decisions (I)
Back in Suba's hut, Ran Ningning's mood did not calm down, and it was Grandma who stopped them on the mountainside.
Just now, if it wasn't for Grandma to stop her, Ran Ningning would probably have come closer and carefully looked at the factory.
But Grandma appeared, Ran Ningning always thought that Grandma with inconvenient legs and feet actually appeared on the mountainside, just now, she found that Grandma had no problems with her actions, so why did she hide her true situation?
Grandma has a secret, this is what Ran Ningning felt when she first saw her, on the surface, Grandma is no different from the villagers who live here, Ran Ningning also asked Tongtong about Grandma, but Tongtong is too young, and Grandma has already lived here for a long time when she appears here, so Tongtong doesn't know about Grandma's origin.
Ran Ningning has been wondering, has Grandma lived here since she was a child, or was she arrested like them?
Ran Ningning felt that it was the latter.
Grandma knows the customs and knows the passport, so she must have gone out, otherwise how would she know this, so how long has she been living here, hasn't she thought about escaping?
"Tongtong, you go outside and prepare dinner first. Grandma obviously wants to break Tongtong.
Tongtong looked at Ran Ningning, she was worried that her grandmother would blame Ran Ningning, and Ran Ningning smiled at her to comfort her.
Grandma looked at Ran Ningning, at first when Tongtong brought her back, she looked at this delicate little girl, and felt that maybe it was no different from those children before, but she was wrong, this little girl is very tough, although she has injuries on her body, but she is still worried that Tongtong will work hard for a child, and she will never cry, even in the face of her ridicule, she is still firm, and she will try to plan, Grandma thought, maybe she is different!
Grandma's eyes were suspicious, although Ran Ningning once thought that the world she saw with her cloudy eyes must be blurry, but at this moment she felt that Grandma's eyes were clear.
After staring at each other for a long time, Grandma opened her mouth and asked her, "Do you want to leave?"
Although Ran Ningning felt that her purpose was obvious, she still solemnly replied to her grandmother, "Yes, you must." ”
Ran Ningning's firm gaze seemed to make Grandma see a glimmer of hope.
Grandma's eyes stared deeply at Ran Ningning, "Do you know what you're holding in your hand?"
Only then did Ran Ningning realize that she had been holding the green leaves pulled out of the field tightly in her hands, the weather was hot, and Ran Ningning was holding hard, and there was already green juice on Ran Ningning's hands.
"That's the Fire Manro, and in Jiujia, the Fire Manro is the plant that can grow uncontrollably without taking care of it. Grandma's wrinkled fingers picked up a branch and leaf, "Maybe you are not familiar with it, it actually looks a lot like a plant - Tian Qi." ”
Isn't Tianqi a Chinese medicinal material?
"Although they look very similar, but the fire manluo is far from the effect that Tian Qi has, in fact, in Jiujia, or Mandaan, can not grow Tian Qi, but it can be grown Huo Manluo, it is precisely because of the preciousness of Tian Qi, so they use fire manluo to replace Tian Qi, and then sell it to all over the world at a high price. ”
"Although Mandaan has been banning the cultivation of fire manro, there are always people who are willing to take risks with such high profits, and the villagers of Suba work every day to plant and harvest fire manro. ”
"So, in order to cover up this secret, Suba can only go in and not out, right?" Ran Ningning asked.
"Do you know why I'm here?" Grandma didn't answer Ran Ningning's question, but asked her another question, but she didn't seem to need to answer.
She slowly sat down on the chair, as if she had changed back to her old appearance, leaning back on the back of the chair, Grandma slowly closed her eyes, and her thoughts returned to twenty-five years ago:
Her name is Nan Hui, born in a small county town in Kanla City, grew up to come to Jiujia in order to make a living, at first in a casino as a card girl, because of a bit of beauty, so, there was never a shortage of suitors around, gradually, she was blinded by this flower world, driven by the lure of money, she lost herself, did a lot of unsightly deeds, and then was brought into the circle of selling fire manro, she never knew that the original fire manro was really effortless to get a steady stream of money, she fell, and since then she has embarked on this road of no return。
It was a summer, when she was trading in Jiujia, she met the United Forces, and they were all wiped out, so she pretended to be an ordinary crowd and mixed in the crowd, and the person in charge of questioning her at that time was a young policeman, he had just graduated and joined the team, simple and responsible, he believed her words, after all, she was so harmless at that time, he smiled at her, two shallow dimples on his face, as bright as the sun, he said to her, don't worry, we are here to rescue you.
He didn't know that he might have saved a poisonous snake, and when she spat out the snake letter, it was the deadliest time.
So she escaped the interrogation in this way, but just as she was about to leave, their people began to counterattack, and he thought she was just an unarmed civilian, so he tried his best to rescue her, the scene was too chaotic, there was no intermittent gunfire, the rioting crowd, she could never forget the fear of facing death, and she could not forget that picture: he stood in front of her, the blood that burst out of his hands was stained, it was warm, his eyes didn't have time to close, his whole body just convulsed a few times and then stopped, the bright red blood was dripping down, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a smile remaining。
At that moment, her world collapsed, and death was so close to her, right in front of her.
She didn't run away, and was taken back to Jiujia, and since then, she stopped selling fire manro, and then began nightmarish days, being beaten and tortured, they tried all kinds of means, but she still didn't change her mind, so they threw her to Suba to fend for herself, but she survived, even if she lived as a walking corpse.
Every day in Suba, she regretted coming to Jiujia, regretting touching Huo Manluo, but she couldn't help but think that if she hadn't come to Jiujia, then she wouldn't have known him, so she trapped herself in the contradiction between regret and happiness, for a long time.
It was so long that she didn't know how many years she had lived here, and it wasn't until Tongtong appeared that she realized that she had been here for twenty-five years.
Twenty-five years?
If she hadn't heard what Grandma said with her own ears, Ran Ningning would never have believed that Grandma was only in her fifties, because she looked like she was in her seventies, how did she live all these years?
Grandma's cloudy eyes looked at Ran Ningning fixedly, "You're right, you shouldn't stay here, you must go." ”
Bring out the secrets here.
