Chapter 276 Escape.
The old woman had a kind face and seemed to have no ill intentions.
"Grandma, where is this?"
"This is deep in the mountains, and there is no name."
no name?
"Grandma, I was sold here. I'm from Shiba Town. My name is Yin Wanshu. I have a father, two brothers and a sister at home. Please let me go. I can't stay here."
The old woman in front of her looked kind, and perhaps this was her only hope.
The old woman looked at her and felt that the beautiful girl was indeed not suitable for her alcoholic son.
She is a widow whose husband died in a mountain flood. She has been living in the mountains with her son, and has no other source of income except for the mountain products she collects.
Her family was poor, but so were the other two families living here.
Now my son is in his 40s and still can’t find a wife. He finally asked someone to buy him a wife, but the girl in front of him really looks pitiful.
She is very pretty and obviously comes from a wealthy family. I don't know why she was abducted here.
Although the old woman felt sorry for her, she felt even more sorry for her son.
If I could buy a wife and have a son or daughter, that would be an explanation.
The old woman was somewhat moved, but not much:
"We spent 30 dollars to buy you. I can't let you go."
30 oceans is their savings of many years. You have to know that this is a place where people rely on the mountains for their livelihood and there is no opportunity to make money at all.
Yin Wanshu walked up to her, took her hand, gave her the jade bracelet in her hand, and took off the earrings from her ears and put them all in her hand:
"Grandma, this is all I have now. I'll give you more money when I get back. I mean what I say."
Yin Wanshu only has this one chance, she can't lose it.
The old woman hesitated, but not because of those things. She was young once, and she was also sold to her ex-partner as a child bride.
But she was not so lucky, nor was she as courageous as her.
Life here is hard, she has experienced it.
"Child, take these and keep walking along this path. You will see a road. Where the road leads, you will meet passing cars. You can use these as travel expenses. Leave here quickly."
Yin Wanshu didn't expect that there were such kind people here. That old lady was a noble person in her life.
She followed the route the old man told her and ran as fast as she could without even looking back.
The old woman was moved with compassion, perhaps also wanting to accumulate blessings for her son.
Her son went to the mountains to collect mountain products, and when he came back he found that she was missing.
"Mom, where's that woman?"
Her son is an alcoholic and has spent all the money he earned over the years on alcohol, so he still can't even find a wife.
The woman sat on the kang:
"I let her go."
"Left? Why?"
He didn't understand why the wife he spent 30 dollars to buy was let go?
The woman raised her head and looked at him tremblingly:
"Son, we must not do evil. That girl is fair-skinned and looks like she is from a good family. If you marry her, won't you be ruining her whole life?"
But he has already spent all his money, isn't it just a waste of money?
"how long it has been?"
The woman said nothing, and stamped her feet in anger:
"Mom, why are you so confused? Isn't the money wasted?"
"You can spend it if you want, but you can't do such immoral things. You will be punished by God."
Maybe, doing bad things will be punished by God.
At this time, Yin Wanshu was already riding in a horse-drawn carriage carrying wood and heading towards the town.
When she was almost about to collapse, she met a good person.
Maybe not all people in this world are bad.
Yin Wanshu escaped, but she did not return home.
She didn't dare and didn't want to go home, so she went to another town and lived in hiding for many years.
She didn't know what happened to Shen Sinian during this period, and of course Shen Sinian didn't find her either.
They are like two people on two parallel lines that can never intersect.
Just like she promised before, she would never appear in front of him and keep her family safe.
She never wrote any letters home, and her family believed she was dead.
Later, due to wars, all the warlords were overthrown, and the term "warlord" no longer appeared in history.
|
Ten years later, Yin Wanshu appeared in Shiba Town. She had cut off her long hair and was wearing a Lenin suit.
She now works in a newspaper, has a stable job and is self-sufficient.
She only dared to return home after the warlords were unified. She stood at her door, hesitant to push the door open.
It’s been 10 years. How much change has taken place in these ten years?
Yin Wanshu had changed from head to toe, and her previous appearance was completely unrecognizable.
She was holding the wine and roast goose she bought for her father, but she just couldn't move her legs.
"Dad, I'm back."
"Dad, I'm back."
"dad……"
Yin Wanshu burst into tears. She knelt at the door and kowtowed three times.
There is white paper pasted on the door, which is a local custom and proves that an elderly person in the family has passed away.
It has been 10 years and she has not come back. She didn't even dare to write a letter. Her father left with regrets, and it was because of her, the unfilial daughter, that he could not rest in peace.
The house was locked and she broke the door open with a stone.
The layout of the room was the same as before, nothing had changed except the dust.
With trembling hands, she walked towards her father's room step by step.
There is a photo of my father on the desk. He was so kind.
His room has not changed and has always been so tidy. Besides books, there are also calligraphy works that he often writes.
There were some unfinished calligraphy works on the desk, and spider webs formed on the inkstone.
The sunlight came in, but there was no warmth at all.
"Dad, I'm the one who hurt you. I'm the one who killed you."
She was a sinner who had committed the unforgivable sin.
She destroyed this family and she has no face to come back.
Yin Wanshu opened the wine and roast goose she had prepared in her bag and placed them in front of her father's photo.
She cleaned the room, making every corner spotless.
Afterwards she returned to her room, and the past memories repeated themselves as if they had just happened.
She, Shen Sinian, and Gu Xinran are all involved.

Later she learned from her neighbors that her eldest brother had gone to another place and seemed to be working in a factory. He came back once after her father passed away and never came back since then.
My second brother went to the north, but no one knows where he went.
As for my sister, she never showed up again even after my father died.
Many people died in that era, and fresh life was not cherished. One might be cut off from the world in one second.
They have never returned to this old house because Yin Wanshu has never left since that day.
She wanted to wait for her eldest brother, second brother, elder sister, and perhaps Shen Sinian.
But none of them ever came back, and they waited for a lifetime.
Yin Wanshu also learned from her neighbors that Shen Sinian had come to see her.
That was half a year after she left. The Gu family was cut off from its financial support, and he was completely out of the Gu family's control.
The first person Shen Sinian came to find Yin Wanshu, but it was too late.
