Chapter 42: The Shan Gu's elopement
You ask this kid Chu Yu to help me find someone, this person, I haven't seen him for thirty years, after I find him, I will let you out. If this kid doesn't find him, you'll stay in this basement for the rest of your life. β
Shi Xinhui said: "Old man, the person you are looking for should be very important to you, you might as well tell Chu Yu about his specific situation and appearance characteristics first." ββThe younger generation always feels that the old man still has a lot on his mind, if you want to, you can tell us about it, maybe we can help you with other things?"
Shi Xinhui said this so euphemistically, because she wanted to get more of the heart of the old mountain girl. Her words really worked, and after the old mountain girl heard it, she sighed a few times in succession, as if it touched the depths of her heart.
The old mountain girl said, "Today, I might as well tell you all, do you know why I dig this basement?--I'm for the sake of the man I love--he's wolf-hearted thing, he hasn't come to me for so many years--"
When the old mountain girl said this, she seemed a little excited, and she adjusted her emotions first.
The old mountain aunt continued: "His name is Zhou Cangping, he has broad arms, thick eyebrows, two large dimples that are very charming, and three large black moles on his left wrist, he is not very tall, a little shorter than your man. However, he is much more handsome than you are.
Back then, when he was separated from me, he told me that his family lived near Gushu Mountain in Shanxi, thousands of miles away. When I was young, I had a strong sense of self-esteem and a lot of face, although I always missed him very much, but I didn't want to put down my dignity to find him, I only hoped that he would come to me, and I thought he would come to me, so I built a house in this remote mountain and lived, ready to wait for him to come to me one day.
This is a place where we have been happy together, and he should remember. I think that if he comes to Shudi, he will definitely come here to find me. To be more secure, I dug a basement in the house, and I dug it so that no one would break us apart when he found me. Then, even if someone wants to arrest him, we can hide in the basement so that they can't find us, and when the outsiders leave, we will come out of the basement.
But--who knew that I had waited for thirty years--! I had not seen a single ghost of him for thirty years, how could he be so ruthless, so conscienceless---God! Tell me whether he is alive or dead now, I almost want to kill him-"
When she said this, she cried bitterly. Immediately, after she calmed down, she continued to speak.
The old mountain aunt continued: "My hometown is adjacent to an inn. Thirty years ago, a group of Shanxi people lived in an inn next to my house for a while, and during that time, I became acquainted with him, and we fell in love at first sight. I remember that as soon as I saw him, I liked him so much, and I felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure and intimacy all over my body. At that time, he said that when he saw me, he felt the same amazing feeling.
One day, when my parents were not looking, I slipped out with him, and we wandered aimlessly, until we reached the mountains and came to the place where I am now in the house. It was here that I did what I did with him as husband and wife.
Later, when we returned, we both noticed that we had an unusual relationship. At that time, the group was preparing to return to Shanxi. At that time, he begged his parents and elders that he wanted to stay and be with me. But his family strongly disagreed, and asked him to return to his hometown immediately and marry a girl.
He was very reluctant to go back, so he rebelled against his family, who eventually used force to tie him up and forcibly escort him back.
After he was taken away, I was so sad that I cried all day long. At that time, my family thought I was embarrassed, and no one cared about me or comforted me. So I came here alone in a fit of rage. Since then, I haven't been back to my hometown, and I guess my family is no longer alive......"
After Chu Yu and Shi Xinhui heard this, their doubts about the ground house were solved. It turns out that the basement was intended to be used to hide her and her lover. She was worried that after her lover found her, she would be tied up and taken away. So he dug this basement so that in case that situation happened, he and his lover could hide in the basement so that they could not find them.
In these words, the old mountain aunt said that Chu Yu was Shi Xinhui's man, Shi Xinhui was so angry when she heard it that she wanted to beat her chest, but she endured it at that time and did not interrupt her. When the old mountain aunt talked about eloping with her lover back then, especially when she talked about the fact that she was married here, Shi Xinhui couldn't help but think of Chu Yu's behavior last night, and her face couldn't help but be hot again, but this situation, because of the darkness of the basement house, no one could see it.
In fact, Shi Xinhui is very disgusted with the elopement of men and women, and she also thinks it is a shameful thing. Because in her life, every day is a business that she can't finish thinking about and doing, how can she have the leisure to think about what her children are long. Even if there were occasional childlike thoughts, she would feel that compared to the business she was busy with all day, it was secondary, and most of the time, it was only a fleeting thought.
At this moment, Shi Xinhui definitely did not dare to express her true opinion in her heart. She could only pretend to say a few words of comfort.
Shi Xinhui said: "Old man, don't be too sad. As the saying goes: 'A lover eventually becomes a family'. Chu Yu will definitely be able to help you find him, and you will be reunited then, I don't know what the old man is called?"
The old mountain aunt said: "You can call me Yang Yinghua, and you are not allowed to call me an old man in the future." I'm not that old, so call me Sister Sakura......"
Chu Yu and Shi Xinhui were really surprised to hear this. Both of them tried their best to laugh so as not to cause any more accidents. Subsequently, Yang Yinghua released Chu Yu and looked for her lover from thirty years ago.
