Chapter 228: The Cycle of Heavenly Principles
When Anne and I calmed down a little, we noticed that there was a group of people standing ten meters behind us, in addition to the six or seven people in Anne's Bar, there were also some neighbors.
They probably already knew Anne's story, and during the time I was away, I was confirmed by Anne who somehow went and came back that I was the one Anne had been waiting for, so they came to witness this sad and exciting reunion between me and Anne!
The two Tibetan girls in Anne's bar couldn't help but hide their faces and weep, and several men also looked happy with a little empathy.
I knew they were glad that Anne's wait had come to fruition, and they had finally seen what the man Anne had been waiting for looked like!
I soon learned why Anne had gone and returned. Anne did have a ticket to Beijing at 4:50 p.m., and a ticket to the United States has also been booked!
As for the reason why she didn't make the trip, it was really simple, but the flight was canceled because of the weather in Beijing. Anne had already received a message from the airline halfway there, so she had already turned back halfway and had never even been to the airport.
Actually, I could have borrowed a mobile phone to call her when I learned that the barmaid was Anne, but because I had lost the habit of using a mobile phone for many years, I had forgotten that I could call her in the first place, and because I was so emotional at the time, I couldn't calm down and think. That's why when I learned Anne's identity, the first thing I thought of was to catch up with her and stop her......
We even passed by on her way back, but at that time we all had our own thoughts, how could we have imagined that we had such close contact......
That night, Anne and I sat side by side in this small border town, in my silversmith's shop, and talked to each other about the sorrows of all these years.
Dabin had already rested with Wei in his arms, and General Wei was also lying at my feet and squinting his eyes. The night became silent, and it seemed that all the creatures in the world had fallen asleep, and only Anne and I were still talking at night!
When I talked about what happened to Anne since she left, Anne burst into tears. When I talked about the more than three years I was designed to be in prison and the life and death ordeal I experienced in prison, Anne almost cried into tears!
She leaned on my shoulder tremblingly, and said silently, "Brother, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have left you willfully, I shouldn't have left you alone, although I have been thinking about you all these years, I have never dared to inquire about you, I am afraid to hear about your misfortune, and I am afraid to hear that you are happy......"
Anne could barely say more! Her words made my heart ache, I already knew Anne's affection for me, how could I not know how hard she had been over the years!
It's just that I can't be heartbroken to hear that she is so cautious and I are so cautious that she adheres to this desperate distance, and doesn't even dare to hear the slightest news from me!
I put my arm around Anne's shoulder, and for a moment I was speechless......
It took a long time for Anne to calm down a bit, and she began to tell me about her experience.
At first, she didn't think about where she was going after she left, and the grief-stricken Anne wandered aimlessly around her country, perhaps as she left a message, she might settle in some favorite corner
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
settled, but a year of wandering didn't seem to have made her feel the urge to stop somewhere.
Even she herself thought that there was no place that was only worthy of her nostalgia, and the so-called mourning was greater than heart death.
She thought she would soon leave China for the United States to find her mother, and at that time she thought that maybe her mother was the only one left in the world!
It wasn't until she came to this place that she suddenly remembered that she had made this agreement with me, and she said, "I remember every word you say clearly......
But she wasn't sure if I would really come, because I was in love with Mu Xichun at that time, and she wasn't even sure if I would remember what I said in a moment's excitement!
But she finally had a glimmer of illusion, and it was this illusion that kept her here.
She chose it because it was the only way for most people to continue westward in Tibet.
She knew I was a big fan of the pub, so she opened a bar in the middle of nowhere, and named it The Promise.
But she didn't stay at the bar very often, because once she stayed somewhere for a long time, she couldn't help but fall into a deep sadness, because the place would remind her all the time how hopeless her wait was......
So she chose to keep walking, so as to release the sadness in her heart, and this walk was seven years......
In order not to let me miss this place, she even took great pains to use that photo as the background picture of the bar's light box signboard, even so she was still not at ease, and printed four seal characters on the bottom of the light box that only me and her knew the inside story, so she felt at ease!
For seven years, she only used this place as a temporary post house, and occasionally came back to rest her feet, and by the way, she found out if anyone had heard from her.
Yet she never received the message she longed for......
She set herself a time limit of five years, and if she didn't wait for my arrival within five years, she would go to America to find her mother!
In the past five years, she has traveled to almost every land in the motherland, and she will take photos everywhere she goes, leaving evidence of her visit. Months later, when these photographs appeared in front of my eyes in a different way, I almost died on the spot......
A five-year period is not a long time for the whole life, but for a person who is waiting, how can this length be more than just a sight to wear?
But she still waited, she was a little panicked when the five-year period came, she thought it would be a relief, but it turned out to be a bigger shackle, she didn't want to accept this fact, so she found another reason for herself, she felt that she had set foot in most of China, why not go to the rest of the places that she had not been to?
So she deceived herself very easily, but although the motherland is big, there will always be borders, and no matter how far the road is, there will always be an end! In the last few days she almost put her schedule to the slowest she could, until she finally despaired when she pulled out her map and couldn't find a strange place again......
Little did she know that I had already lived in her immediate vicinity for three years, and that I had never met her once because of providence.
Actually, it's not entirely true to say that I haven't met once, and Anne told me that she passed by my silversmith shop more than once.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I was even seen working in the shop several times, but after I was released from prison, because of the shocking scar on my face, I consciously or unintentionally trimmed my long hair.
Because of the work with my head down, my hair covering my face, and my face has long been emaciated due to stomach problems that fell in prison, and I have long been out of my original appearance, she just passed by, how could she recognize me!
And the work in my hands, I have never looked up and seen her once, and it is fate to think that it is fate!
She had also heard of the new shopkeeper of the silversmith's shop, and she even knew that everyone called me Ah Sheng, and that I had adopted a daughter named Wei Lai, but how could she piece together such an unbelievable truth from this fragmentary clue?
Many people in the town knew Anne's name, and many people had talked to me about the barmaid, but no one had ever mentioned Anne's name to me.
And Dabin has been singing in bars for more than two years, and he has told me about his boss lady countless times, but he has always called Anne as the boss lady!
He also invited me to the bar many times, and even if I didn't drink, it would be nice to listen to their music, but I didn't go to the ......
The arrangement of creation has always been so miraculous that it is elusive and powerless to change. In short, it is also a kind of helplessness!
Some people think that they can control their fate, but in fact, it is just fate that opens up the net for you, and when it feels that it is time to close the net, it will make you doomed in an instant, and it will not even say hello to you......
I have already learned this, so I have long been resigned to fate, and I have long been unable to fight against fate! I have lived cautiously all these years, and I am afraid that the slightest smug will be mercilessly struck, and I am afraid that it will take away what I have most of my treasure, even though I have nothing left......
"You left, how is Brother Liang?" After a long time after Anne finished speaking, she suddenly thought of Li Liang!
My heart froze slightly, about Li Liang, I didn't want to tell Anne what he did to me, after all, Li Liang's original intention was nothing more than an extreme act to hold Anne upset, if I told her, I am afraid she would be more burdened.
But since she asked, I don't think I should hide it from her. So I told Anne the truth!
Anne's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, of course she would be surprised, when I realized that the reason why I was imprisoned was because of Li Liang's secret, how could I not be as surprised as Anne at this moment!
It turns out that we don't know Li Liang at all, although on the surface we have been friends for many years, but since that incident, I have understood that we have never known what Li Liang is thinking in his heart!
Regarding Li Liang's feelings for Anne, I think Anne must know, but she loved me at that time, so Li Liang's love for Anne is so desperate, so he and Anne feel roughly the same, he can't love Anne, and Anne can't love me.
In this way, I didn't suffer this calamity, and the sin I inadvertently created was indeed enough for me to suffer this calamity, I hurt Anne, and indirectly hurt Li Liang, so it also confirms the words of the heavenly cycle. There is already a certain number in the dark, and no one can escape the catastrophe they deserve......
