Chapter 47
The granite road of Stone City is gone forever.
After the spring of the following year, the white ash slag created a smooth new street and new road all over the city, and there were three or five new and old cars running on the new street and new road, and there were trucks loaded with guns and ammunition and dragging cannons rumbling past, bringing another scenery that Shicheng had never seen before.
Mr. Wang, President Tang of the Jin Hui Office and the Chamber of Commerce all had cars.
The latestest car supervised by Wang was bought from Shanghai along with the 300 Toyo cars of "Dafa Foreign Car Co., Ltd.", and no one had to carry it.
The "Mercedes-Benz" that needed to be carried was sent to the Jin Hui Office, but the Jin Hui Office was never lifted, I don't know if it was because the road was good, or because the car was repaired well.
"Shi Weng Zhai Annals" therefore contains: "Supervising Wang, a bloodthirsty butcher, he has no merit in his life, only the stone city road construction is commendable in one fell swoop......"
On the "commendable" streets, amid the bells of foreign cars and the honking of cars, there was still a lonely sedan chair proudly floating, from the west of the city to the east of the city, and from the east of the city to the west of the city.
Supervisor Wang and the people under the Jin Hui Office turned a blind eye.
The people rumored: This lonely sedan chair was issued by Wang Supervisor and Jin Hui Office, and Aunt Bu and Grandma Bu who sat in the sedan chair had a big ability, and Liu Zhen Shou had a leg back then, and now he has a leg with Wang Supervisor Jin Hui Office.
After passing the pass, I couldn't help but wonder: This Aunt Bu is no longer the eighteenth Bu girl of the year, she is in her thirties, and her hair has turned a lot gray since the ban on sedan chairs.
sighed: Strange things, strange things...... The lonely sedan chair floated for four years.
Drifting desolately.
Drifting stubbornly. Four years later, the Northern Expeditionary Army of Commander-in-Chief Chiang came over and defeated Wang's supervision, and the ban on sedan chairs was naturally canceled, and there were some sporadic sedan chairs on the smooth streets.
People thought that Aunt Bu and Grandma were going to make a comeback, but it was strange again, not only did Aunt Bu not play the "Wan Chengxing" banner again, but also did a lot of work, and even the lonely sedan chair that people commonly used was gone.
Aunt Bu and Grandma are naturally gone, and no one can remember when Aunt Bu and the lonely sedan chair disappeared, and why they didn't see each other.
There was a mess in the stone city for a while, and it was rumored that there were noses and eyes.
Some say that Aunt Bu went to the foreigner's concession in Tianjin to find the envoy Liu Zhen and her daughter Tianhong...... Some say that Aunt Bu didn't go to Liu Zhen to guard the envoy, but waited for her son Tianci, and Tianci took her to Nanjing...... Some people also said that Aunt Bu was waiting for an old friend, eloped with the old day, and went to Beiping...... Rumors are not credible.
No one saw where Aunt Bu had gone.
The years have passed, but twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Twenty years later, on a winter day, Steward Zhao, who was "old and accessible", said that he had seen it with his own eyes, and he saw it on the tram in Shicheng.
According to Steward Zhao's description, Aunt Bu's grandmother was already a little old woman, but her demeanor back then could still be recognized, she was very clean and neat, her dress was unusual, and she didn't wear the cloak she liked to tie back then.
Aunt Bu helped a thin old man and got off the bus at the Duxiangting Tea House.
Steward Zhao called "Aunt Bu", but Aunt Bu didn't respond.
Steward Zhao wanted to get out of the car to chase after him, but the car had already opened.
Steward Zhao got off at the first stop, turned around and went to the Duxiangting Teahouse to look for it, but Aunt Bu and the old man were nowhere to be found...... When Steward Zhao said this, a group of young men and women around him were curious, so they asked, "What Aunt Bu?" What does this man do? ”
These people don't even know about Aunt Bu!
Steward Zhao was in awe and recalled the past: "This Aunt Bu is not simple, she was the most famous person in our stone city back then, and the men in the city are not as good as her!" When Aunt Bu was eighteen years old, she was hired, and she moved a thousand sedan chairs, which shocked the whole city. Many years later, her husband and father fought for the sedan chair and returned to Huangquan together, and the sedan number of a city fell into her hands, making her the owner of a sedan chair in a city. Aunt Bu and Grandma went through a big event, and she went to the funeral at the same time for her husband and father, and it was so good, the pomp was really big, and I haven't seen it since, but I'm afraid that I won't see each other again. Later, Wang supervised the ban on sedan chairs, but Aunt Bu and Grandma ignored them and ordered the whole city to petition. That time to petition the warlord is not the same as today when you petition the Kuomintang, the military and police only douse water, then the Wang Supervisor sweeps with a bead gun! Otherwise, future generations will scold him as a butcher! Supervised Wang's Lianzhu gun is sweeping here, and Aunt Bu and Grandma Bu are still sitting in the Duxiangting teahouse eating dog meat buns and listening to people singing! Hey, Aunt Nabu......"
Steward Zhao and the old people in Shicheng really remembered Aunt Bu and Grandma Bu, the extraordinary stories of Aunt Bu and Grandma Bu, and even the red cloak and black cloak that Aunt Bu often wore on her body, and the unique fragrance of fat powder on Aunt Bu's body.
Many old people in Shicheng said that no matter whether they were white or black, as long as they closed their eyes, they could see Aunt Bu and Grandma floating over on a small sedan chair. The red cloak or black cloak behind Grandma Bu swelled in the wind, and the air around her was filled with the scent of fat powder that they would never forget...... Aunt Bu and her story have melted into the history and air of Stone City, who can forget this?
