Chapter 364 The Abused Daughter's Last Wish 2
When Jiang Xunfeng brought the silver note for buying apples, Gu Laoliu said goodbye to him.
"We will leave the capital today and see you again if we are destined to meet again." It seemed that they were not destined to meet again. They went to Liuquan Village to visit the little soldier's mother. They would leave after the first and second grade students came back to exchange the gold and silver.
This plane is still okay. There are no reborn people and no time travelers. The main problem of the world's collapse lies with the male and female protagonists. The two of them acted like crazy and didn't take their lives seriously, which led to the collapse of the plane.
"Why don't you stay and play for a few more days? The old man's birthday is in about ten days, and the capital will be very lively then," Jiang Xunfeng really treated them as friends and was reluctant to see them leave so soon.
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu were not interested in the hustle and bustle of the capital. They just came to this plane for a formality. There was nothing special there, so they lost interest after visiting this kind of plane too much.
They said goodbye to Jiang Xunfeng at the door of the inn. Jiang Xunfeng watched their backs as they walked away, and he had a hunch that they would never see each other again in this life.
Chang'an sat on the horse, Gu Laoliu led the horse, and the father and daughter walked out of the city facing the sunset.
"Dad, where is the male protagonist now?"
"He will pass through Luochuan City, and we can wait for him there."
After walking a long distance out of the capital, Gu Laoliu took out a carriage from the space. They preferred riding in a carriage rather than riding horses.
They ate and slept in the space on the way, and arrived at Liuquan Village in less than five days.
I picked a random kid at the entrance of the village and gave him two candies. "Can you take us to Zhang Sanbing's home?"
The kid was very cautious and didn't take the candy from Gu Laoliu right away. "Who are you? What do you want from Uncle Sanbing?"
"I am Zhang Sanbing's comrade-in-arms. He asked me to come back to see his mother."
"Really? Has the war been won? Then why didn't Uncle Sanbing come back on his own?" The little boy's eyes instantly sparkled with joy, and his words were full of anticipation.
Gu Laoliu then took a closer look at the child. He was related to Zhang Sanbing. The child's brother was the son of Zhang Sanbing's second brother.
"Even if we win, he won't be able to come back if something happens."
"Okay, then come with me. I'm his nephew. My home is the third one from the entrance of the village. My grandmother is the only one at home now. Everyone else has gone to work in the fields."
The Zhang family was not far from the village entrance, just a few steps away. Gu Laoliu parked the carriage, took Chang'an and the little boy to the Zhang family.
The little brother shouted from afar: "Grandma, grandma, uncle's comrades-in-arms are here to see you."
Old Mrs. Zhang was feeding chickens in the yard and didn't hear clearly. She only heard her third uncle and thought it was her third son who came back. The broken bowl of chicken feed in her hand fell to the ground.
She cried with joy and ran out in a hurry. When she saw Gu Laoliu's appearance clearly, Old Mrs. Zhang stood there and did not move forward. This man did not look like her son at all.
Even if I haven't seen my son for five or six years, I might not be able to recognize him. He is not a good-looking guy. It is impossible for him to grow up to be handsome after joining the army.
The excitement and joy in Mrs. Zhang's eyes were replaced by disappointment, "Goudan, he is not your third uncle, you made a mistake."
"Grandma, I didn't say it was Third Uncle. He was Third Uncle's comrade-in-arms. He said that Third Uncle asked him to visit you," Goudan stepped forward to support his grandmother, fearing that she would fall down due to excessive grief.
He knew how much his grandmother missed his uncle. She often cried secretly, worrying about whether his uncle was doing well in the frontier and whether he was injured. How long would it take for him to come back?
Old Mrs. Zhang forced a smile and said in a relaxed tone: "Please come in, sir. My humble home is too simple. I hope you don't mind."
Although this man was wearing ordinary cotton clothes, he had an extraordinary demeanor. The child in his arms was as precious as a precious jade. Gu Laoliu did not introduce himself, so Mrs. Zhang directly called him "Sir".
"Auntie, just call me Lao Liu. Your family is very nice and it is my great honor to be invited by you."
Gu Laoliu and Chang'an did not dislike the two black-looking stools and sat down naturally. Goudan went to pour them tea sensibly.
There were cracks on the earthenware bowl, and there were missing pieces here and there on the edge of the bowl. Goudan was a little nervous, afraid that Chang'an and Gu Laoliu would refuse.
However, the father and daughter took the tea bowl with both hands as if nothing had happened and drank two sips calmly.
Gu Laoliu took out a bag of silver that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve pocket. There were more than fifty taels of silver in it. Of course, it was not Zhang Sanbing's monthly salary, but his small fortune was also in it.
"Auntie, San Bing asked me to bring you your monthly salary. The war on the front line hasn't stopped yet, so he can't come back. He had to ask me to come back to see you on his behalf. It's good to know that you are well."
Old Mrs. Zhang had two years left to live, but her health was not good and she could not stand any stimulation, so Gu Laoliu concealed the news that Zhang Sanbing had passed away.
"I'm fine, tell him not to worry. Please tell him to come home when the war is over. I miss him," Old Mrs. Zhang held the purse filled with silver and shed tears silently.
"Okay, I'll make sure to convey your message," Gu Laoliu finished the tea in the bowl and stood up to say goodbye.
"Auntie, please take care of yourself. I have something else to do and won't stay any longer."
"Okay, take care and remember to tell him that his mother is waiting for him at home."
"Yes, he will know you are waiting for him to come home."
The carriage slowly left Liuquan Village. When Old Mrs. Zhang returned home, she locked herself in the room. No matter how Goudan called her, she did not come out.
I think she already had a guess in her mind that her filial third son must have died on the battlefield, otherwise he would not have asked others to come back to see him.
If nothing had happened to Zhang Sanbing, he would bide his time and then run back happily to see his mother.
Gu Laoliu and Chang'an were on their way to Luochuan City when they met Su Qianyu's convoy and happened to catch a big melon.
Su Qianyu's men fought a life-and-death battle with twenty or thirty assassins, and those assassins were hired by Jiang Ziyi.
"Another drama of the male and female protagonists loving and hating each other?"
Chang'an squatted on the shaft of the carriage and watched Su Qianyu retreating step by step.
"Wow"
"Hiss!"
Both the father and daughter were shocked. One of the assassins suddenly rushed towards Su Qianyu. Everyone thought he wanted to kill him with a sword, but unexpectedly the sword was just a feint and pointed directly at his lower body.
"Ah!" The shrill and painful screams scared the birds on the nearby mountains and they fled in panic.
The second child of Su Qianyu's family was cut in half by the warrior's sword, and he fainted on the ground with a distorted face.
"Jiang Ziyi likes eunuchs?" This move is even more immoral than her sixth father's. Her father never uses his power to harm others.
But it’s a good thing that the hero still needs the heroine to cure him.
Gu Laoliu: “…It’s not impossible.”
Are all women so aggressive? Here’s another reason to stay away from women.
More than half of Su Qianyu's guards were killed or injured. The remaining people wanted to retreat with Su Qianyu, but were stopped by Jiang Ziyi's men.
