Chapter 577: A Life of Wandering

"In order to threaten and deter my mother and the workers in the tea plantation, my father's body was hung on the tea mountain, and for three whole days, my mother went crazy and began to talk nonsense, crazy and giggle, but still didn't say a word."

"In our family, I am left as a child, who doesn't understand anything, and those workers are only responsible for picking tea, and the rest don't know anything, and those beasts don't get what they want, and in a fit of rage, they burn the entire tea garden, and the fire is overwhelming, and the sky is red."

"The workers scattered and fled, and they tried to kill me and my mother, my mother...... My mother saved me with her own life, I took the notebook left by my father, escaped, and went to Suzhou and Hangzhou by boat alone, my grandfather's house, now I think about it, I don't know how I got there safely, maybe, it's really my life. ”

Qin Xun didn't speak, the air in the room seemed to stop flowing, only the voice of Yuwan speaking slowly.

"My grandmother is a famous embroidery master in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and she has been making clothes for others all her life, dignitaries and nobles, peddlers and pawns, she does not refuse to come, in order to study embroidery."

"I ran to my grandfather's house for help, but I forgot one thing, Su Xiu, that is a world-famous stunt, how can I not be targeted by those beasts?" Yuwan recalled the past, her eyes were red, "An officer from Fusang, let my grandmother make a dress for him, that dress, he has to wear when he speaks to the people of the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou, that is to say, as long as my grandma makes that dress for him, the entire people of Suzhou and Hangzhou will know that the Ning family has taken refuge in the Fusang people." ”

"My grandmother has made clothes all her life and has never refused anyone, but this one, she didn't do it."

"What is the cost of not doing it?" Yu Wan smiled sadly, "It's the hands that she is over fifty years old and still maintained like a girl, her fingernails have been pulled out one by one, and her fingers have been cut off one by one." ”

"My grandmother, who has embroidered Su embroidery all my life, has lost her proud hands forever, she didn't shed a single tear, but gently told me to collect the inheritance of Su embroidery of the Ning family, let me leave quickly with the money, and live well."

"Then she, on the third day after losing her hand, committed suicide."

"In less than a year, I lost all my loved ones, and I only had a few thin books on me, which they bought with their lives, and I had to keep them, even with my life."

"I went to Shanghai again, when I was seven years old, in order to survive, I stole, rob, beg...... I did everything because, because I looked good, I was taken in by the owner of a dance hall and trained me to sing and dance, saying that he was counting on me to earn money for her. ”

"Actually, I know that a teenage girl, counting on her to earn money, I don't know what year and month I have to wait, maybe I won't be able to recover the capital I paid, and where did I teach me to sing and dance? What taught me was textbook knowledge, and the owner of the dance hall was just kind-hearted, and she took me in pitifully, and I was very grateful to her, and I spent a very relaxed and happy few years there. ”

"At the age of fourteen, the country finally ushered in the light, the darkness was gone, the people ushered in a new life, and I began a new wandering, because the owner of the dance hall died, died on the eve of dawn."

"Actually, I've heard that those sisters in the dance hall, every time they accompany the guests to drink, they are asking what it is, and I have also seen strange faces, vigilantly entering and leaving the dance hall, they are not singers, not dancers, heroes, warriors!"

Qin Xun's body shook, and his heart trembled when he looked at Yuwan's impassioned face.

At this moment, he felt extremely sorry for the woman in front of him, at a young age, she had already experienced too many things.

"Before she died, the owner of the dance hall left me a sum of money, and she only said one word to me, asking me to find a living by myself." Yuwan continued.

"The people around me are leaving me one after another, they are only a short stay in my life, I have thought for a long time, what can I do?"

"I remembered my father's body hanging on the tea mountain, I remembered my mother's desperate cry, I remembered my grandmother who had broken her hand and told me to live well, and I finally remembered what I was going to do."

"I replanted the tea leaves little by little all over the mountain, I began to learn Suzhou embroidery step by stitch, I was walking the path of my elders, I was inheriting their unfinished business, and just like that, I lived for many years."

"Later ......"

Speaking of this, Yuwan stopped, and she showed a complicated expression.

"Later, the tea mountain was given to the country, and Su embroidery became what others called 'dross'." Yuwan smiled bitterly, "Overnight, I had nothing. ”

When Qin Xun heard this, her face was unbearable, the pain that ordinary people could not bear, she had endured it I don't know how many times, what kind of powerful psychology it was, so that she would tell it in such a light and breezy tone at this time.

"I was assigned to work in a remote village, and the people in the village liked to read and treated me well, and I became a teacher there, day after day, and so on for many years."

"Later, the sky changed again."

"Suzhou embroidery is a skill that the country should vigorously protect and inherit, and the ancestral house of my grandfather's family was returned to me, and the property that was confiscated before has also come back, but I am at a loss, what can I do?"

"The tea mountain does not belong to our Yu family, but the tea-making craft is still there, and the Ning family's Su embroidery is no longer the Ning family, but the Ning family's Su embroidery will be passed on forever, so what about me? What can I do? That's when I really started to think about what I wanted to do. And what is not the right thing to do? ”

"I wanted to open a store, a store that retains customers with taste, so I have the house."

Yuwan finally finished telling her story, her story is like this cup of tea in front of her, clear, fragrant, and has a long aftertaste.

Qin Xun handed over a cup of tea at the right time to let her moisten her throat.

"Thank you."

After Yuwan took a sip, she looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, my story is finished, now, are you still willing to bet with me on a blossom and bear fruit?"

"Of course, why not?" Qin Xun replied without hesitation, without any hesitation at all.

"You said you were adrift all your life, then let me be your harbor." Qin Xun looked at her with the same smile, "Would you like to?" Miss Jade. ”

He held out his hand and waited for her to answer.

"Of course."

This time, Yuwan didn't hesitate at all, stretched out her plain white hand and gently put it into his palm.
