Chapter 49: Young Love

It was a day twenty years ago, and Lai Aju remembers it very well, and that day happened to be her birthday.

The Lai people are not allowed to leave the clan territory without permission, so there are guards on duty at the exit to the outside world.

By chance, Laiaju, who was in the adolescent stage of a girl, learned from her parents how wonderful the outside world was, so she had the idea of leaving the clan to see outside.

So, taking advantage of the shift change of guards, he ran out along the exit.

The exit to the outside world is located on a cliff, so when Lai Aju first emerged from the exit, she almost dripped into the rushing river below.

At that time, at the exit place, Lai Aju saw a ferry boat, on which was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties and a little boy of seven or eight years old.

That was the first time Lai Aju left the clan land, and it was also the first time she saw the middle-aged man, that middle-aged man was Lai Bo, and the little boy was the martyr who died as a soldier later.

Riding a small boat on the shore of Laia Ju, the scenery of the outside world attracted Lai Aju's eyeballs, until playing until dark, Lai Aju did not think of going home.

It happened that Liber had not yet received the ship at that time, so he carried Layju back.

Lai Aju said that the moon that day was exceptionally round, that is, because of the moonlight, she saw my father drifting down the river.

With Leber's help, my dad was saved, but he didn't wake up for a long time.

Originally, Liber wanted to take my dad to his fence yard, but because Lai Aju saw a foreigner for the first time, and he still looked so delicate, he was fascinated by my father's appearance at that time, and secretly carried my dad back to the clan land.

According to Lai Aju's recollection, she struggled to carry my father through the entrance to the clan land, and was surprised to find that the guards in charge of guarding the entrance were gone.

At that time, Lai Aju was still worried about how to get my dad into the clan land without being discovered by the entrance guards, but she didn't expect that there was no one in front of her, which inevitably made her feel a burst of happiness and joy in her heart.

When approaching the front of the house, Lai Aju hesitated again, she patronized her brain fever for a while, and took it upon herself to bring my father, an outsider, back to the clan land, without even informing her father and aunt in advance.

Or worried that his father and aunt would have an overreaction after seeing this foreigner, so Lai Aju has been hiding in a bamboo forest by the river and did not dare to go home, and then unknowingly Lai Aju fell asleep in the bamboo forest.

I don't know how long she slept, Lai Aju was woken up by a noise, she looked over, and saw a team of people rushing into her house, and after a while, they came out again, and her father and aunt came out with them, and they were tied up by five flowers.

Seeing this, Lai Aju rushed out of the bamboo forest to chase after her, but because of her eagerness, she accidentally fell on the way and broke her leg with blood.

With a limp, Lai Aju walked forward step by step, and suddenly heard the miserable cry of her father and aunt, and the sound came from the direction of the altar.

By the time Lai Aju arrived at the altar, the entire altar was as silent as death, and there was no shadow of half a living person in sight.

Two mutilated and terrifying corpses were tied to two wooden pillars, and Lai Aju recognized them as her father and aunt at a glance.

Speaking of this, Lai Aju was already crying silently.

I didn't bother her, I waited until she cried less so sadly, and then continued to ask about what had happened.

Lai Aju said that she later saw the old grandmother, and it was the old grandmother who helped her bury the body of Daddy and Auntie.

Having lost her parents overnight, Lai Aju said she felt like she had lost her soul at the time, and she couldn't even remember how she walked home.

Looking at the already cold food on the dining table, Lai Aju cried even more sadly, she suddenly felt that she no longer had any nostalgia in this world, so she picked up the firewood knife at home and wanted to follow her parents.

But just as she was about to do something, she suddenly remembered my father who had been abandoned in the bamboo forest by the river, so she threw away her firewood knife and ran to the bamboo forest where my father was hidden.

Later, my dad was placed in Lai Aju's house, and according to Lai Aju, my dad was not only drowning at the time, but also had internal injuries.

As a Miao of the Lai nationality, Lai Aju has understood the role of Miao medicine since he was a child, so with the help of Lai Aju, my father's health is getting better day by day.

At that time, the two were at a fiery age, and after getting along for a long time, they had feelings for each other.

Just like mentioned before, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the fact that Lai Aju secretly hid foreigners was quickly spread to Lai Aotian's ears.

At that time, my father's injuries were not healed, and his condition was very critical, but at that time, the old grandmother appeared, and she took my father away from the clan.

And what happened later was that Lai Aotian couldn't force him to kiss, but fell into the ground.

After being kicked out of the clan land, according to the direction given by the old grandmother, Lai Aju found my father.

It seemed that a beautiful and happy life began, but the good times did not last long, and one day my father suddenly received a letter, and then he said goodbye.

Lai Aju waited for a full year, but still didn't see my dad come back.

Later, she asked around and found my childhood home.

She saw my dad in the same place, my dad had lost an eye at that time, and when she saw my dad like that, she wanted to rush over at that time.

But when he saw my mom holding me in her swaddling clothes, she hesitated.

In the end, Lai Aju didn't disturb my father's life, and stayed in a nearby town, and whenever she missed my father, she would sneak in and take a look at it from a distance.

Later, Lai Aju stopped coming to my house, because my dad often went to the town to set up a stall, so she followed my dad to the stall, still looking from afar, not daring to disturb his life.

In fact, Lai Aju hated my dad for saying goodbye in the first place, but when she saw my dad like that, everything was relieved.

That's it, one persistence is eight years.

Until there was a period of time, my dad never went to the stall again, because he couldn't help but miss it, and Lai Aju went to my house again many years later.

But when she arrived, it was already a burned and collapsed ruin.

After listening to Lai Aju's bitter past, my heart was also very uncomfortable, because I couldn't understand why my dad said goodbye and let Lai Aju down at that time.

"And then, you've been looking for my dad all these years, haven't you?" I asked.

Lai Aju wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded silently and said, "Well, then I just went around to find out the news, happy again and again, disappointed again and again." ”

"Later, I actually learned the news about Brother Sanjian again from the mouth of the person in the thief's door, it was the blind old monk, and it was he who told me that Brother Sanjian's son, that is, you, is still alive."

Hearing this, I nodded silently, which was a clear understanding of the youthful past between my father and Lai Aju.

As for the rest of the matter, it belongs to my personal experience, and it is useless to say more.

There is a kind of love called letting go.

This lyric really reflects Lai Aju's abandonment, maybe in her opinion, no matter what kind of person my dad is, as long as he lives happily, such a woman may not be able to find a second one in the whole world.

"Sister Aju, don't worry, we will definitely find my dad and let him give you an explanation." I said firmly.

Lai Aju didn't respond, just smiled at me, that smile seemed bright, but it was difficult to hide her lovesickness for my dad for so many years.

"By the way, Sister Aju, what did your father and mother die of at that time?"

My dad's question came to an end for the time being, and I curiously asked about Lai'aju's father and aunt.

What happened at that time, so that even the old grandmother couldn't save the lives of these two people, and used the cruel capital punishment of ten thousand Gu devouring the body.
