Chapter 491 The Old Woman Who Has Been Waiting for Five Years
"When I was fifteen or sixteen, I fell ill and could not be cured anywhere. I was about to die, so my adoptive parents sent me to Hengyang Sect."
When Li Susu heard these words, she smiled gently.
"Fuya, come here."
Yue Ya stood up obediently and walked to sit next to Li Susu.
"Fuya, do you still remember your benefactor sister? What does she look like?"
"Sister Benefactor..."
Yue Ya frowned and recalled.
"From now on, you will be called Yue Ya, and you can only remember the name Yue Fuya in your heart. Do you understand?"
"I hope we can meet again one day."
The more Yue Ya looked, the more familiar he felt that the junior uncle in front of him looked, so he moved closer to look at Li Susu's face.
The image of the benefactor sister in his mind gradually merged with that of his junior master uncle, and he spoke with an excited tone to confirm.
"You are... my benefactor sister!"
Li Susu smiled and nodded.
Yue Ya reached out and hugged Li Susu, shouting with tears in his eyes.
"Sister Benefactor!"
All this is not a dream, some people can meet again after going around in circles.
"Sister Benefactor..."
Yue Ya hugged Li Susu with a tearful tone, and one could imagine how much of an impact it had on her.
Some people are unforgettable, and you may see them again.
Tan Tai Jin, carrying his bag, found a place and saw a dead tree in front of him and an old woman waiting under the tree.
"This should be it."
remember--
"Ten miles east of Buzhao Mountain, there is a blind old woman. For the past fifteen years, she has stood at the entrance of the village every day, rain or shine, waiting for someone from day to night."
Tan Tai Jin looked at the old woman and shouted.
"Mom, Zhier is back."
The old woman then excitedly stretched out her hands to search around, her voice old and happy.
"My Zhier..."
"Did I hear it right, Zhier..." His voice trembled in disbelief.
"Are you back?" He groped his way towards Tan Tai Jin with a cane, reaching out his hand to touch the air in front of him, hoping that he was not hallucinating.
Tan Tai Jin took a few steps forward and put his hand on the wrinkled hand.
The old woman held the warm and strong hand, thinking that her son had finally returned. She was so excited that her crutches fell to the ground and she went forward to hug Tan Tai Jin.
"You really came back, wuwu, cough, cough..." The old woman with messy white hair cried in Tan Tai Jin's arms.
"The old woman only has seven days left to live. She has been a good person all her life. The Immortal Sect wants to fulfill her wish at the end. Unfortunately, her son is no longer with us."
Remembering what Zhao You said to him before he came, he raised his hand and placed it on the back of the crying old woman, comforting her.
"Yes, mother, I'm back."
After crying for a while, the old woman brought Tan Tai Jin to her thatched hut.
"Zhi'er, have a good rest now that you're back. Mom will cook you a meal." The old woman walked towards the kitchen with a staggering step.
Tan Tai Jin said with concern.
"Be careful, mother."
"Hey." The old woman agreed and disappeared around the corner.
Tan Tai Jin turned around and observed the furnishings in the room, thinking that Pang Yizhi might know something. He had to stay in Xiaoyao Sect. No matter whether he knew their purpose or not, he could not let him go.
And Li Susu, no matter where you are, I will find you, Tan Tai Jin's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Li Susu, who was shopping with Yue Ya, turned around and looked behind her as if she sensed something.
Yue Ya held a string of candied haws and a string of candy figures in one hand, turned his head to look at Li Susu and shouted.
"Little uncle!"
"Ah?" Li Susu turned around and looked at Yue Ya after hearing the voice.
"Let's go."
Li Susu threw away the inexplicable chill in her head, smiled and took Yue Ya's hand and continued shopping. Yue Ya handed her a candy man and candied haws and asked with a smile.
"Do you want to eat?"
Li Susu shook her head, and Yue Ya smiled happily and ate by himself. The play lasted until the lights came on, and the streets were brightly lit and bustling.
"Uncle Junior Master, you may not know that Jingjing has changed a lot in the past five hundred years. We can come down the mountain often to relax."
"Hey? Look, look, there's a storyteller over there." Yue Ya walked over with Li Susu curiously.
I saw that the storyteller had already started talking.
"Legend has it that a thousand years ago, Jingsheng and Changping were one, but later they were separated by a river and suffered endless wars. Then a king emerged! This made the two countries reunite and unify, ushering in a 500-year prosperous era. To know what happened next, please listen to the next episode." Before he finished speaking, the seated guest stood up and left.
"Let's go."
"Row."
"Hey?" Looking at the customer walking away, the storyteller picked up the reward money and was about to close the stall.
"Old man, please stay." Li Susu walked over slowly.
"If you are not in a hurry, how about staying a little longer and telling me another story?"
He was about to close his stall because he was interrupted, and he was feeling impatient. But when he looked up and saw Li Susu's beautiful and fairy-like face, his anger immediately dissipated and he asked politely.
"What do you want to hear, girl?"
Li Susu was silent for a while and thought before speaking.
"Please tell us about Tan Tai Jin of Jing Country five hundred years ago."
"Okay, please take a seat, young lady." He took the reward money and sat down with a smile.
Li Susu just turned around and wanted to find a seat to sit down when she heard Yue Ya ask curiously.
"Uncle Junior Master, who is Tan Tai Jin?"
Li Susu pulled Yue Ya to sit down.
"He is... the king of Jingguo."
As soon as he finished speaking, the storyteller began to speak.
"It is said that five hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Jing was weak and the people were living in poverty. After King Tan Tai Jin succeeded to the throne, he turned the tide, established great achievements, and brought peace to the world. But tonight, I will not tell you these stories that everyone knows. I will tell you some secret stories, hahaha."
The storyteller laughed mysteriously, and then slowly began to tell the story.
"It is rumored that King Tan Tai Jin has a woman whom he deeply loves."
The smile on Li Susu's lips gradually disappeared. She had a premonition that what the storyteller was going to say next would be something she didn't want to hear. Sure enough, the next second she only listened to him preaching.
"This woman, according to historical records, was the wife of King Xuancheng of Sheng State. She later married King Jing as his queen. When the king's face was disfigured, she disappeared from the palace without a trace."
"Before she disappeared, she was the only one favored by the emperor, and he even kept her as a concubine and refused to marry again. It is said that after King Tan Tai Jin passed away, he and the queen were buried together in the Tan Tai Royal Mausoleum. Since then, over the past hundred years, the Tan Tai royal family has had many descendants and wise rulers for generations."
Li Susu's face was gloomy. She felt jealous when she thought about Tan Tai Jin living happily with Ji Qinghe for the rest of his life.
His own death did not leave the slightest trace in Tan Tai Jin's heart, and he walked forward calmly.
Indeed, all those times when she spent time with him were devoid of love, only calculation and disgust. After all, she was just a clown in his long journey to become the emperor, fleeting and not worth paying attention to.
It's time for me to let go completely and pursue my own path to immortality.
Inside the thatched hut, Tan Tai Jin dozed off with his hands on the table, while a candle beside him flickered with a warm yellow flame.
He tilted his head and woke up in an instant. When he opened his eyes, he saw the old woman standing at the door.
"mother?"
He stood up and walked to the door, offering his hand for support.
"Mom, it's just dawn, what are you doing standing here?"
The old woman did not answer, but answered the question irrelevantly.
"What time is it?"
Tan Tai Jin raised his head, glanced at the orange-yellow clouds that were just brightening up the sky, and answered.
"It's just the morning of the 11th of the lunar calendar."
The old woman shook her head when she heard this.
"No, no, I mean, it's the time of the spring equinox."
"There is a small plum tree in front of the yard. It is very important to me. Can you help me check if it has bloomed?"
Tan Tai Jin agreed and went to look for the plum tree. When he found it, he discovered that there were no flowers there. It was just a dead tree.
This tree has already died, so it seems that my mother-in-law’s wish cannot be fulfilled.
"I've planted this tree for ten years. Every year I look forward to it blooming, but in the past ten years, I have never gotten my wish."
When Tan Tai Jin saw the plum tree that had been dead for a long time, he couldn't help but feel sad.
The most painful thing in life is having memories that you cannot get rid of or give up. It’s like being trapped in the same place, repeating painful memories day after day, which is heartbreaking.
To make your mother-in-law happy, you have to find a way to help her free herself from the past.
Tan Tai Jin picked up a pen and drew a talisman, then helped her mother-in-law to dress herself.
Perhaps knowing that she was going to see the plum blossoms in full bloom, the old woman's wrinkled face was filled with smiles.
After putting on his clothes, Tan Tai Jin gave him a compliment at the right time.
"nice."
He helped his mother-in-law sit in the pavilion in the yard. As soon as she sat down, she started coughing uncontrollably. Tan Tai Jin patted her back gently to soothe her and shouted worriedly.
"mother."
Until the last day, Tan Tai Jin finished drawing seven talismans and put them together. Today was the last day of my mother-in-law’s life.
