Chapter 7: Once
Looking at the table full of good things, I still want to eat two bites of stewed goose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"My stomach is a little empty, let me eat some first and drink with you, okay?" I don't want to pay attention to other people's eyes, it's just some ethereal illusion anyway.
Village Chief Li was stunned for a moment, and then grinned and laughed, it was not a mocking voice: "Okay, Officer Lu is a cheerful person, let's eat first, and then drink!" β
My chopsticks seemed to be infused with power in an instant, flying left and right on the dinner table.
Gu Liang only sandwiched the food from the dish in front of him and ate it very slowly.
What are you pretending to be~ If I can control his behavior with my mind, let him shake off his cheeks and eat like me.
"Village Chief Li, I want to ask you about someone." Gu Liang chatted with the village chief as if he was chatting.
Village Chief Li took a sip of the wine bowl and nodded, "Officer Gu wants to ask about Camellia, right?" As soon as I saw you enter the village, I went straight to her house. β
"Well, talk to me about Han Camellia, is there no one in her family?" Gu Liang continued to ask.
I held a goose leg in one hand and chopsticks in the other, listening to their conversation in my ears.
"Oh, if you want to talk about camellias, everyone in our village is a good girl." The village chief gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "After Camellia and her mother ran away with someone from another village, Lao Han pulled the camellia alone, but God didn't pity the two of them, and when Camellia was six years old, Lao Han broke his leg when he went up the mountain." Since then, Camellia has taken care of her father. β
An eldest lady sitting opposite the table actually began to wipe her tears, and then said: "It's not a drop, the child of Camellia has suffered too much and suffered too many crimes, and everyone in the township will pity her when they see her, but that child is a strong baby, so he feeds the chickens, cooks, and works in the field by himself, and never says a word." β
Village Chief Li waved his hand and motioned to the eldest lady not to interject: "Officer Gu, Officer Lu, you may have also seen that our village is not rich, this road is difficult to walk, the land is not fertile, and everyone is barely living." β
"Then how did Han Camellia go to the city later?" I wanted to hear the full story, so I was in a hurry to ask.
An eldest sister sitting next to me grabbed my sleeve: "Officer Lu wants to hear me tell you, let's sit close." β
I smiled and nodded, put down the food in my hand, and wiped the corner of my mouth with a tissue.
The eldest sister thought for a while and said, "I remember that it seems to be 05 years, is it Aunt Pan, it was the head of the Gong regiment who brought people to our village to perform." β
"Yes, yes, in 05, I remember clearly, my second uncle didn't have it that year." The lady on the opposite side slapped the table and replied with some excitement.
The eldest sister next to her continued: "In 05, there was a performance team passing by in our village, and the head of Gong took a fancy to the camellia and said that she looked so good that she could make a lot of money outside, so she threw a lot of money at Lao Han and took the camellia to develop outside." β
"So... How big was the camellia back then? Can her dad let his daughter go with a stranger? "I'm surprised, haven't the people in this village heard about the abduction and trafficking of women and children?
"What can I do? Lao Han also knows that his legs and feet are not good, do he want to drag his daughter for a lifetime? Whether to live in this big ravine with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky, or to break out and have a new opportunity, Lao Han also knows the answer. β
Hearing such an answer, I became silent.
If the father knew the outcome of his daughter, would he regret the choice he made back then? Time always passes minute by minute, and people always change little by little. I can't think of Camellia and the woman sitting in the interrogation room. The hardships she had endured and the sins she had suffered were not written on her face.
Gu Liang patted my leg gently, his eyes were full of a comforting look, as if to say to me: Don't be sad.
"Then where did Camellia's father go?" Gu Liang looked at the village chief and asked.
"Oops~~" Village Chief Li patted his head and thought for a while: "I heard Yu Lili who returned to the village in the first two years say that it seems that she was sent to a very good place after being picked up." β
"Forget it, Lili came back five years ago, and it's been the first two years..."
Doesn't this person know that Yu Lili has been killed by Han Camellia? Oh~~ Who knows? Didn't Yu Lili change her name to Yu Manting, and why should I bother with the rationality of a dream.
"Then do any of you know where Han Camellia's father is now?" Gu Liang seemed to be very concerned about this issue and looked at everyone present.
Everyone shook their heads and didn't answer.
What are you looking for Camellia for her father? I can't guess, but I knew you were going to find someone, at least by name.
"Village Chief Li, what is Han Camellia's father's name?" I asked.
"Old Han, we all call him Old Han, as for what is it called..."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one can say.
The eldest old man sitting next to Village Chief Li slowly spoke: "His name is Han Liangsheng, and when he was a child, he always liked to secretly pick the hawthorn tree in my yard. β
I applauded myself for being a perfect person, and there was such a great character.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, I also felt a little fluttery, and two wine burps came up in a row, and my head was even more dizzy.
I still remember how Gu Liang helped me back to the car, and I was unspeakably moved when I watched the villagers say goodbye.
"Gu Liang, do I have any money on me? Leave it for the folks, leave them all, I ate a goose the size of the others, and I ate a goose that was so big..."
His face was so close to me that I couldn't help but want to kiss him, but as soon as he pursed my lips, he avoided it. It turned out that he was helping me fasten my seatbelt, not trying to give me any chance at all.
Lost, I was sleepy-eyed and half-lying in my seat.
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it, if you're sleepy, you can sleep for a while, and there's still a long way to go back." He started the car and drove slowly out of the village.
I'm going to sleep again... Will I go to the next level of dreams like Inception?
To be honest, I really don't want to leave, with such a good fiancΓ© by my side, dare to ask what else is there in the world? A woman, for a lifetime, is not waiting for such a fate.
I knew I was a little drunk, but the more I did, the clearer my mind became.
"If you don't want to sleep, let's talk. Xiaowei, what do you think of these years? Happy? Gu Liang glanced at me and asked softly.
"Happy, unhappy, I don't seem to feel anything, I've always liked people, I don't like to communicate with people, I don't want to have friends, if it weren't for the fact that everything was a dream, I wouldn't have told you so much." I just looked at him like that, and said everything I thought from the bottom of my heart.
"Dreams? Maybe. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his handsome cheeks made my heart beat faster.
