"Think about it, since he has never failed my sister, how could she forget him so easily? If this person was a heartless man, my sister might have returned to normal long ago, because that man and her were sincere. Falling in love, this inner love trapped her and she could never return to normal."
Ban Shu's words made everyone very worried. Ban Nu's love actually became her prison. As long as she couldn't let go of her feelings for a day, she would never be able to return to normal. In other words, when she really let go, It has probably been proven that the man is a heartless person.
No matter which ending it is, for Ban Nu, it is just the difference between bad and worse, and there is no possibility of development in a good direction.
"Then, since that person went to look for something, hasn't he shown up yet?"
Hua Yuxiu was curious about where this person had gone. If the two people really loved each other, how could he let Ban Nu wait for so long? Judging from the scars on Ban Shu's arm, it must have been a long time.
Ban Shu paused and took a long breath: "Back then, I was only five years old when that man went there. Now, I am thirty-five years old."
"Thirty years? Then this person has been gone for at least thirty years. That also means that your sister has also suffered for thirty years. Is this person reliable? Don't do it to deceive you. In fact, he has gone to other places. The place is free and happy, have you sent any letters?"
Although Yue Guanchao's words are rough, the truth is still the same. Some people just like to have a romantic relationship, and promised that the lover will come to her. As a result, decades have passed, and the old relationship has turned into ashes without waiting for the person who knows her. It was wasted. Feelings and love flow eastward.
He thought about Ban Shu's age. Ban Nu had lived in pain for thirty years just to wait for that person. It was somewhat not worth it.
Ban Shu shook his head and said, "No, when that man left, he only told my sister that he would come to see her when he found a way to lift the curse. Otherwise, he would be considered dead."
"This sentence has troubled my sister all her life. Until now, we have not heard from him."
Listening to his words, Song Siyuan had a doubt in her heart. If this person really cared about Ban Nu, how could he refuse to contact her for decades? She asked with concern: "Are you sure that that person and your sister really love each other? In other words, that person just couldn't stand your sister becoming bloodthirsty, so he said some pretentious words and ran away."
"No, he and my sister treat each other sincerely." Ban Shu was very certain about this.
"How do you know? You were only five years old at the time. If they had known each other earlier, you might have been only three or four years old. You wouldn't have remembered anything at that time."
Song Siyuan wanted to know who Ban Nu loved so much that she was willing to wait for thirty years.
When Ban Shu talked about this, his eyes moved slightly: "I really didn't remember anything at that time, but the clan elders in Chaoyuntai knew what was going on."
The story told by the clan elder was thirty or forty years ago. Although he heard it from hearsay, he could still feel the true feelings between Sister A and that person from the specific details.
Ban Nu’s story begins thirty years ago.
At that time, the Taiping Civil War was over, and the former government began to vigorously hunt down the rebels. Some remnants of the Taiping Army hid in the Shiwanda Mountains in the southwest in order to survive. Wushan County, as the gateway to the southwest, began to be frequently harassed by these refugees.
Wushan County is located at the intersection of the Ning River and the Yangtze River. It is naturally a good river beach. As long as the ferry is disconnected and the embankments are built high, no one can force the river to reach the shore.
In the context of the intrusion of refugees in the southwest, Wushan County began to build high rammed earth walls along the river in order to prevent the nuisance of the refugees, and sent local warriors to patrol along the narrow river embankment day and night. Such high walls almost covered the river beach, and the entire area of Wushan County was Parts of the river beach are sheltered behind walls.
At the same time, the people of Wuxian Mountain were still building two city gates on the river embankment near the county town for entry and exit, sealing off the ferry originally used to transfer goods, and then disconnecting the cable bridge between Ninghe River and Jiangshui River. When it was discovered that the refugees were trying to cross the river bank, they would attack them with artillery fire or drive them away.
Relying on these thunderous means, Wushan County isolated itself into an isolated island. Although it was the gateway to the southwest, it was not affected by the refugees. It became a pure land away from the disputes and watching the fire. When it was most prosperous, there were hundreds of thousands of ordinary people trying to avoid the refugees. Enter Wushan County to make a living.
At that time, the riverbank ferry was closed, and the river embankments were long and tall. It was impossible for anyone to enter the county town from the river. If any rioters wanted to cross the river mouth by boat, they would be attacked by black artillery from Wushan County, and they would probably be burned before they reached the shore. engulfed in flames.
Some smart refugees knew that gathering together would easily make them targets of black artillery. They took advantage of the night to disperse into a few people. They no longer took boats or rafts, but carried sheepskin bags across the river mouth, as long as they could bypass the high altitude. If you build a wall, you can get ashore from other places.
Although this is a shortcut, the risk must be considerable. Without a boat, it is difficult for a living person to control the direction in the rapid river. If you are not careful, you will be swept away by the river. Even if you encounter an undercurrent whirlpool on the way, you will be sucked in. Never came out again.
Despite all the dangers and the pursuit of troops, many peaceful and rebellious people took desperate risks and crossed the river at night, just for a chance of survival.
That man was a Taiping rebel named Sun Tianqi who crossed the river at night.
"Sun Tianqi?"
When Yue Guanchao heard the name, he felt curious. Wasn't the Mr. Chicken Feet they met in Jiangyong County named Sun Tianqi? Of course, it is also possible that they just have the same name, but they are not the same person. He can't make up his mind, and now he can only listen to Ban Shu continue to talk.
When Sun Tianqi arrived, he had a sheepskin bag tied around his body, and he had already been knocked unconscious by the waves of the river. His body was all wrapped in water and weeds, so no one could spot him. This also allowed him to escape in disguise and not be attacked by the Black Fire. During the shelling, he barely managed to save his life.
The butcher Lao Zhao went to the river at night to hunt weeds to feed the pigs. He thought he was a weed dumpling and hooked him to the shore. When he found him, he was already on the pig and grass cart. When the butcher saw that he was unconscious and motionless, he thought he was dead. , immediately decided to take him back.
This is not to bury him in a grand ceremony, but to take advantage of it and use his body to feed pigs. If he feeds more than 100 kilograms of his body, he can save a lot of swill.
The world at that time had reached the end of the troubled times. Not to mention the dead, even a living person walking at night might be chopped up by the mom-and-pop shop at night, made into meat buns or minced and fed. livestock.
Anyway, as long as the tail is taken care of, who knows who will die.
It’s not like the pigs raised by Lao Zhao have never eaten human flesh. If there was a dead person on the roadside in a famine year, he would dare to cut off a leg and beat the teeth of his own pigs as a sacrifice.
I heard that this pork that is stained with human fish tastes very good. When you kill one end and cook it, the aroma can be smelled in villages ten miles away.
