Chapter 3: Old Anne's Story (Part II)
Old Anne suddenly told me what was all this for? Storytelling is generally a death fleager, he doesn't .......
I listened quietly to old Anne. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHe seemed to be immersed in this sea of memories, and every word was said to me with emotion........
He left Shanghai in his thirties, a city that made him suffer so much, not that he couldn't get along anymore. It was the girl's final choice that made him really unacceptable.
The girl had lost her virginity when she was dumped by the cowherd, and at that time, the girl who was still obsessed with the so-called love washed her face with tears every day, and she was still fantasizing that one day the cowherd would be able to come back, because ....... The Cowherd deceived her with a beautiful lie, and she was stuck in it from beginning to end.
Little Anne tried to save her image with her own actions, but in the end, his efforts were not as good as the cowherd's fluttering words. When dissuaded by little Anne, the girl angrily reprimanded him for not dictating to what was going on between them. In the end she was abandoned, but she still lay in a warm and cozy deception with a silly dream.
Later, he finally became famous in Shanghai, but looking at this girl, he resolutely chose to give up this hopeless girl, he decided to give up everything now, forget everything here, and find a new place to make a new start. He went north to Beiping, that is, Beijing, to have a look, but he didn't expect it to be just in time for the Vietnam War, so he wanted to join the army to vent and change to a new self.
He shaved his beard and dressed a little more vigorously, washing away the gloom and making himself look more like a young man in his twenties. After a year of baptism, he looks more robust and stronger. Contrary to his expectations, the state did not ask him to go to war, so he successfully mixed up with the vehicle bound for Vietnam by relying on his own skills and anti-reconnaissance capabilities honed since childhood.
There was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War in the car who took good care of him, and this kind of warmth was never felt even when he was a child by his father's side. He wants to do his part for the country.........
Later, the veteran who had taken care of him for three years died on the battlefield, and he lost contact with his team. A man wandered in Vietnam, a place of war and chaos, for a whole year. One day he was surrounded by Vietnamese, and a white American man was saved, but unfortunately the white man was seriously injured, and he could not save the white man in any way. But in the end, the white man entrusted him with one thing, and that was this incident that gave him a new turn in his life. He took the white man's token and prepared to sail across the ocean to the United States to fulfill his wish.
At that time, it was not an easy task to cross the sea, and he became a bandit along with the deserters near Vietnam, burning and looting in small areas far from the army, and in order to save money, he could leave Asia with some ships first. Lucky or unlucky, one day he caught a group of Chinese, and his instinct told him that if he went back with these people, he might be able to travel from China to the Americas. He untied the rope and joined them in killing all his companions who had been with him for many years. He looked indifferent that day, and the death of these people seemed to him to be like an ant being pinched to death, and it was not a big deal. But this is not the case in the eyes of other Chinese, who see him as a dangerous figure.
Old Anne was very good at that time, and no matter what troubles along the way, he easily resolved them, and even the problem of vehicle damage was perfectly solved by his research day and night. How could he have imagined that China, which he had finally returned to, would catch up with the Cultural Revolution again? So under the trap of a provocation, he was put in prison.
Fortunately, he still has some influence among the people he saved, and only after revealing the truth did he rescue him and give him some money, so that he could find a place to smuggle out from the Chinese border.
He silently remembered these kindnesses in his heart. Smuggled to the United States, he found that he could only speak simple English, had a hard time communicating with Americans, wanted to eat something, had no dollars, and could not speak. He rummaged through the garbage cans on the side of the road and threw away the leftovers that looked like they could eat.
After a few months of 'camping', he was finally able to have some normal communication with foreigners. Later, when he learned the origin of the token, he found the home of a dead white man in the eastern United States. He gave the token to his wife, and by that time the white man's child was almost five years old, and the white man's wife had remarried. Fortunately, the man was broad-minded and accepted the incident and expressed his remembrance of the white man who died on the battlefield.
They invited old Anne to be there, but he refused. He thought that since he had left China, he would be able to enjoy himself in this vast world.
Later, he followed a gang of tomb robbers around the world to find ancient monuments, and then returned to China to follow adventurers to climb the world's highest peak, Mount Everest. Until a friend asked him, his skills are so good, even in the world, why not be a killer?
He regained a new interest and became a bounty hunter. But he has one condition....... That is, not to accept any assassination of the political aspect. He wants to be completely free from the shackles of all countries, and he just wants to be a wild horse galloping freely on the steppe, a bird flying freely in the sky, unrestrained.
It wasn't until his wealth could barely last him a lifetime that he found out....... There is always an empty piece in my heart. In his sixties, he had never had a family, and he remembered the girl in Shanghai. He returned to China to see the girl, who had her own family and was living peacefully. He looked at the old Zhuhuang from afar, and she was left behind after being ruthlessly destroyed by the years, and she had become a grandmother. And old Anne seemed to be still stuck in that moment........
He went back and looked at his father's low grave, overgrown with weeds, which he had carefully plucked one by one with his vigorous palm. He wanted to cry, but the tears never flowed out of his eyes, they kept rolling in his eyes, no matter how vague they were, he couldn't express the sadness in his heart in the form of tears.
His right hand was clenched to his chest, and the palm of his hand seemed to grasp the heart that was trying to stimulate him, and he wanted to stop the noise that was making him irritable.
Poof! He fell to his knees, holding his painful chest and kowtowing his father three times.
After that, he heard other bounty hunters mention the city of dreams, and he became confused about what his dream was, so he traveled to the city of dreams. The white children of that time also grew up, and in order to repay him, they went to Dream City with him..........
To be continued...........
