Mrs. Gu was immersed in memories, and her tears gradually became moist.
After a while, she said slowly: "I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of this as if it was yesterday. Time passed too fast. Yesterday I was eating green plums and riding bamboo horses, but now, I have a full head of hair."
Jiang Nan agreed and asked, "What happened next?"
Mrs. Gu continued to talk.
"Later, he told me that he was attracted to me when he first saw me. He just used a stupid method. Although the first impression was not good, he found ways to contact me many times.
opportunity.
From that day on, he came to me from time to time, with the excuse of paying back the money, but in fact he was quietly cultivating a relationship with me.
He is indeed a smart man, and before we knew it, we had developed feelings and reached the age where we were talking about marriage.
However, at that time, our family was relatively wealthy, and there were many nobles pursuing him, so the family was not particularly satisfied with him.
However, he thought of a good way and made a promise in front of my parents and family. I still remember his solemn expression at that time.
He said that within two years after getting married, he would become the richest man in the city. Otherwise, he would give everything in their family to our family and then marry us.
That kind of vow was very courageous and charming. So I became his wife.
After we got married, everything went well in the beginning. He doted on me and was very kind to me. It can be said that we were happy.
Moreover, he also works very hard for his career and works particularly hard to make his commitments.
Because he has brains and is very smart, even in just over a year, he has already made a great business and his reputation has greatly increased. Their sound shops are also distributed throughout the city, and almost everyone knows about them in the streets and alleys.
Now I think about how high-spirited he was in those years, and I also feel that he seemed to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
However, then, everything changed.
Suddenly, the people from Kou Island invaded the city, causing a loss of life and panic.
Let alone business, I am lucky to be able to survive.
And because he was quite famous, he was quickly called by the people from Kou Island.
From then on, he was called a traitor and a thief, and everyone shouted that he should be beaten.
And I don’t dare to step out of my house, otherwise I will be beaten, scolded, and thrown at people when I go to the street..."
Old Mrs. Gu's expression became desolate and sad when she recalled that experience. It seemed that she was still very sad.
Tears fell again.
Jiang Nan waited for her to calm down for a while and handed her a tissue.
She didn't ask for it, but took out a very old handkerchief and wiped her cheek.
"I deeply sympathize with the persecution that people of your generation suffered from the Koudao people. You must have suffered a lot of insults. However, from your tone, your wife seems to have been wronged, right?
"
Mrs. Gu immediately said: "Of course he will not betray everyone, and he is not a thief. He fights for justice. Even if everyone in the world doesn't believe him, I also trust him. He is a real man."
"So, he was just following a trick?" Jiang Nan asked.
"That's right. In order to keep our family alive, he stole a lot of useful information from the enemy under the name of infamy. He didn't do anything unscrupulous at all. At most, he only lost some
It's just dignity. But if it is occupied by the people from Koudao, then what dignity will we have, and what will our descendants have?"
The old lady got a little excited and started coughing.
As I get older, my body is not as good as before, but my expression is determined.
At that moment, Jiang Nan still admired her.
"You are right. At this point in the story, I have a question. Is there any connection between your family and Xia Yang and the Dark Soul Zone?"
"What is the Dark Soul? Xia Yang, I know him." The old lady asked doubtfully.
"Dark Soul, I only know that it is the codename of an old agent. It seems that I know your wife as well." Jiang Nan said.
The old lady suddenly realized and said: "Yes, you are right. A few people did organize themselves back then. My wife and two other people, they were leading another group of people to quietly deal with the Koudao people, working together inside and outside.
,indomitable."
"I remember that it was a stormy night, and he led two other people, one of whom was Xia Yang, and the other one, I think his name was Xiao An or Xiao Zhou, I forgot. I only remember that they ran to the city despite thunder and lightning.
Everyone in my house was soaked, but they were still very excited.
I brought them hot water, lit a lamp, and got some food.
They locked themselves in the room and talked most of the night.
I didn't know what they were talking about, so I fell asleep without realizing it. When I woke up, it was dark.
My wife packed his luggage and asked me to take the children and family and hide for a while, waiting for news from him.
If he can't come back, let me stop waiting for him.
I was extremely scared at the time, but there was nothing I could do.
I asked him what happened, and he just said that they had been preparing for so long and were finally taking action. If successful, they would drive the people from Kou Island out of our city.
He was passionate and unswerving, and I knew I couldn't stop him.
I had no choice but to do as he said, and on the second night, gunfire rang out.
It goes on and on, like a nightmare.
I stayed up all night, waiting in fear.
Finally on the morning of the third day, everything stopped.
I heard someone say that there was a war, but those who wanted to repel Kou Island suffered numerous casualties. Many of their bodies were hung on the city walls and even paraded through the streets.
I didn't dare to look, and I didn't have the courage to go. I thought maybe he was among them.
I waited for more than a month, but still no news from him.
Someone advised me that he should have passed away during that battle.
Because so many people were shot to death indiscriminately at that time, it was normal that his body was not found. It is true that we should be more open-minded, don't be too burdened, and continue to live well.
Later, our former home was looted, and of course it was sent by people from Kou Island.
Fortunately, our family members are all hiding.
The children and I depended on each other for more than a year, and there was no more news about him.
Although I hold on to a glimmer of hope in my heart, I know that it would be extremely slim and even deceiving myself."
Old Mrs. Gu's tears were blurred, her voice was choked, and she seemed unable to continue speaking.
Jiang Nan sighed very much, if he really lived in such a time, how would he face all this?
