Chapter 42: Old Things (5)
On the other hand, Li Jianguo's soldiers came looking for him. These days, they have contacted the lost regimental headquarters and can leave to join the large army.
The parting was so sudden. Ah Ying is not afraid to leave the village alone, but she can't give up her responsibility to protect the village. In Li Jianguo's case, he will not be allowed to bring a family member. Li Jianguo wants to stay here and accompany his beloved girl to live this life simply. But in the emergency of the war, the soldiers under his command who trusted him with their lives reminded him that he needed to return to the team and dedicate his own efforts.
Li Jianguo left his personal collection and his favorite German-made Luger P08 pistol. Took a silver hairpin from Ah Ying's hair.
"Just look at this hairpin, it's like seeing you. You can also look at this pistol and think I'm still with you. Wait, wait for me, I'll be back, and when the war is over, I'll be back and give you a wedding!
"Ziqian, I will wait for you, and when you come back, I will leave with you."
A hug, a light kiss, a parting, no one thought that this would become the last time they met. Li Jianguo never came back, and returned to this hidden Miao village.
Ah Ying waited year after year, from seventeen to forty-seven, from forty-seven years old, to sixty-seven years old, seventy-seven years old, until the people under the mountain were cheering for the founding of New Chinaγγγ she already knew that he would not come.
Hopeless waiting is the most torturous of all. Li Jianguo has been gone for so long, it's like everything is just a dream, if it weren't for the exquisite P08 pistol that reminds him all the time.
Year after year, Ah Ying fell silent in endless waiting. Time can destroy everything, and the original love and trust deteriorate little by little in desperate waiting. Resentment, suspicion, and fear gnawed at Ah Ying's heart little by little, and she wasn't sure how long she could hold on. Why not come back? Killed on the battlefield? Or did he fall in love with another girl, and he had long forgotten that there was a self waiting for him?
The unanswered inquiries distorted Ah Ying's heart, and waiting became an obsession. She began to study witchcraft, which was listed as a forbidden art, sucking the ashes of the dead and refining yin blood, just so that she could hang her own life and continue to wait endlessly.
No one is human, no ghost is not a ghost, and he lives alone in the cave where he first met. She was no longer able to reincarnate, and her soul was trapped in a shell that should have rotted away, unable to be redeemed.
These things are old things, and I know them as an observer. I don't know what to say about my curiosity. If I had gone, I wouldn't have known the story, but curiosity often kills cats, and this time, I'm lucky.
On that day, I felt the attention of the mysterious power of the back mountain to the investors in Xizhen. I left more snacks.
In the evening, an unusual cold air and low pressure were noticeably felt. Oh, at this moment, Sanzang and I are hiding near the mayor's house, and I didn't want to involve Sanzang, but I couldn't bear to follow him. The county magistrate and his group had already rushed back to the city overnight. But the young man insisted on staying, and now he lived in the mayor's house. I expected tonight to be an unusual night, and sure enough, wasn't that coming?
Silently, but with the appearance effect of the black wind, I and my little friend Sanzang children's shoes were stunned. "Ouch, I'll go, is this the goblin in Journey to the West? It's so cool! Hearing Sanzang's complaint, I silently held back my words, which really won my heart.
Actually, it's not a cool demonic style, it's just that Sanzang and I opened the underworld early. The ghost aura on the person who came was too heavy, and there was also magic power mixed in it, and finally it was manifested in our eyes, and it became what it is now.
Looking at this strange power in the person who came, I could be sure that it was still a person. But such a heavy ghost aura really doesn't make sense. As I got closer, the sound of "jingle bell, jingle bell" gradually became clear. Bright and bright, beautiful as summer flowers, wearing the traditional costumes of the Miao people, adding more style in the night. It's still a big beauty.
"Brother Shuzi, it can't be that this beauty falls in love with that kid today, right? Yanfu is really not shallow! β
"What do you kid think about every day? Keep an eye on it, save that kid's life if you can, do good deeds, and accumulate some yin virtue for yourself! β
"I don't do bad things, I'm doing good things every day, my yin virtue is ironclad, really, Brother Shuzi, do you want to wait for you to die, I'll give you some yin virtue? Let's buddy, I'll give you a 9% discount, how about it, it's righteous enough, right? β
Sanzang's whole person laughed so much that his teeth were about to fall off, so he had to slap him, "Hey, wake up, go home daydreaming, and lift the snack to protect yourself!" β
Seeing the woman walk all the way into the mayor's house unimpeded, Sanzang and I walked in along the door she had opened.
"Mayor Mayor, Mayor Mayor, wake up, are you all right?" As soon as I entered the house, I saw the mayor lying on the ground on all sides, and the house was quiet, and no one spoke.
Put your fingers under your nose and test it, and breathe. "It's okay, she just fainted, it seems that the woman didn't have the intention of hurting the people here." The mayor's family was here, but the man who had come to invest and the assistant who followed him were nowhere to be seen.
"Who are you? What did you do to him? I heard a voice on the third floor, and looked at the stairs leading to the third floor, "Sanzang, let's go up and have a look." β
Hide on the stairs and show your head to find out. The entire third floor was empty, and the assistant was lying motionless on the ground, and he should be alive too. The man was holding a military dagger in his hand and was confronting the woman.
"Ziqian, is that you? Are you finally back? "The voice was hoarse and rough, like he hadn't spoken in years. Obviously he looks young, but his voice is like a dying old man.
"I'm not a Ziqian, you recognize the wrong person." Just saw this woman stun her assistant and bodyguard with a slight wave of her hand, and she didn't dare to underestimate this woman at all.
"You're lying, you have his breath in you! You're lying! Hehe, yes, how can you still be so young! "The woman's emotions were out of control for a moment, and she flashed over and grabbed the man's neck." Say, Who are you! Do you know a man named Li Jianguo! Answer my question obediently, otherwise it will be the same if I will extract your soul and extract a confession. β
"Li Jianguo? It's my father! How do you know my father's name? β
