Chapter 999 Dilapidated wind chimes in front of the windowsill
As the boy from the same hometown explained everything about what happened more than a year ago, word for word, the old ghost's face became increasingly ugly.
His face was ashen, and the surge of anger all over his body swept over him like a tide, covering the entire ruined temple.
Originally, the temperature in northern Xinjiang dropped to freezing temperatures at night. However, due to the anger of the old ghost, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply. Everyone felt the endless chill, and even Su Che was not surprised...
Su Che looked at the old ghost thoughtfully, as if he was recalling old stories about his old friend, so Su Che did not disturb his thoughts...
The seven or eight people lying on the ground were all trembling with fear. The quieter the air, the more scared they became...
He looked at Su Che with a pleading look on his face: "Two...Two gentlemen, we have told you everything we know. Today is really the first time we have been bandits. You...please forgive us...we really
There are seniors above and young below, and they don’t even have food to eat..."
Su Che originally didn't want to do anything to this group of people. Everyone was a poor person. They were not even qualified to move their families and leave their hometown. In this war, apart from those who died in the battle, they were the most pitiable...
…
Thinking of this, Su Che subconsciously touched his pocket, originally planning to give them some money.
Unfortunately, I have never had any idea about money. The money in the Small Thousand World is not compatible with the secular world. Su Che does not have a single big character on his body.
Helpless, he could only wave his hands: "Let's all go... If you want to fill your stomach, you can work harder for the time being, and you can rely on the mountain to survive. After this period, when the war is over, you will be able to live a quiet life again.
"
"The war is over?"
Everyone looked at each other with longing and disbelief on their faces: "Sir, this battle has been going on for so long. We are losing ground. We don't even have the slightest hope of winning. I want the war to end.
I'm afraid I can't wait..."
"It will be over soon." Su Che waved his hand: "Let's go."
"Yes Yes……"
"Thank you sir..."
"Thank you for showing mercy..."
"When you go back, do something serious! No matter how difficult it is, being a bandit is always not advisable. You can't bully or rob people who have money and food. Most of the people who can rob are poor people like you.
There’s nothing interesting about it. Don’t you still understand this account?”
"Yes, yes, sir, we remember it. After we go back, we will clean up our skin and become a new person..."
"Um."
After Su Che nodded in agreement, the group of people rubbed oil on their soles one by one and ran away in a flash.
In the ruined temple.
A long moment of silence.
The old ghost's thoughts wandered into nowhere in the sky, and he finally came back to his senses after taking a hundred and ten breaths.
"well……"
The old ghost sighed: "It's all my fault... I should have considered this when I encountered this incident. I just saved the mother and daughter with a little effort, but the bandits are still there... I should have considered it earlier.
Yes! If I hadn't been so playful and gone up the mountain to kill all the gangsters in Heifeng Village! How could the two of them have suffered such a result..."
"It's not all your fault."
Su Che let out a sigh of relief: "It's true that you saved them with a little effort, but for them, it's already a new life. If the gangsters come back later, I can only say that they deserve this disaster in their lives..."
"Besides..."
Su Che said: "Didn't the young man from the same village just say that Xiaoyue'er and her mother were just captured and taken to the mountain? They may still be alive, but there is no guarantee that they will suffer. It just so happens that this time we are going to Black Wind
If they are still in the village, just save them!"
Unexpectedly, before Su Che finished speaking, he was stopped by the old ghost.
"Will not……"
"Boy Su, you don't understand Xiao Yue'er's mother's character. How could such a strong and stubborn person be captured and still survive today? It's impossible..."
"this……"
Su Che looked at him doubtfully: "So, you know Xiaoyue'er's mother very well?"
"I……"
The old ghost pointed to the door: "Let's go and take a look at their house. Regardless of whether there is anyone there, you should take a look. Let's talk as we walk."
"good."
The two of them quickly left the ruined temple and walked over there.
The old ghost said: "That woman's husband has been dead for many years. It is not easy for one person to take care of the child for so many years... But she is very strong and admirable! She holds the child, washes clothes for others, goes to the mountains to collect medicine, etc.
, she is not afraid of hard work that can earn money to support her children..."
"I saved their mother and daughter, and they kindly invited me to have a rest and have a couple of meals to express her gratitude. I am a refugee myself, and I have a home all over the world. I happen to have no place to go, so I
I wanted to give their gratitude a foothold, so I ate them a few meals..."
"Through daily conversations and understanding, I know this woman's tenacity and bravery, how strong she is, and how hard her life is..."
"But, I am a prodigal who meets by chance and is a guest in a foreign land. What can I do? I don't know what to say except comfort and silence. Moreover, the more detailed I listen to her story, the more awkward it becomes.
Two days later, I lied that I had something to do and had to get up and leave..."
"But I never expected that she...I don't know whether it was out of gratitude or something, that night, she went to my room...wanted...wanted to give it to me."
"I also considered that she might be looking for a father for her daughter. After all, her daughter is old enough and will be getting married in a few years. Girls should get married. A child without a father is hard to say..."
"But no matter what the reason was, I had already felt sorry for one person when I was young. How could I hurt a second person again, so I refused and left overnight..."
"I really don't know anything about what happened next..."
"I have never mentioned this matter for more than a year, and I have no regrets."
"Today has arrived in the blink of an eye. I didn't expect that they... would actually encounter such a result... It's really true!"
Su Che has always been a good listener. The old ghost walked and talked, and he listened while walking. Soon, he arrived at the small courtyard where the old ghost once lived for two days and one night...
In the yard, there is no longer the clean land of the past. Instead, after more than a year of winter and spring, weeds are overgrown, the house is dilapidated, the walls are cracked, and the yard is collapsed and crooked...
The old ghost's eyes touched the dark red stone millstone used as a dining table in the yard, and saw the shapeless wooden stick wind chime hanging on the door frame. His eyes were a little moist and red...
"Little boy Su, I made that wind chime myself and gave it to that girl Xiao Yue'er..." the old ghost murmured.
