Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen
Chapter 420: Xiangjiang River
"Look at the time. It's almost time to leave. Let's get on the train first and then continue our chat on the train."
Du Guanghe's expression looked quite ugly from beginning to end. Although he finally saw the light of day again, his heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
He didn't say anything else, and the three of them walked to the train station together. After waiting for a while, they boarded the train smoothly.
He Yuzhu was very excited when he took the soft sleeper compartment ticket in his hand. After a closer look, he found that there were four tickets! Although there were only three people in their group, he was secretly happy about the extra ticket. After all, there would be no fourth person to disturb their trip.
Du Weixiang, who was standing nearby, came over curiously and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, I heard that your mysterious space is very powerful. How big is it? And what can it store?"
He Yuzhu smiled and answered confidently:
"Girl, this space is big. There's no problem even squeezing a person in there! Just wait and see if you don't believe me." As he said that, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
At this time, Du Guanghe had long lost his former skills because his martial arts had been sealed, and now he was just an ordinary old man.
Faced with He Yuzhu's sudden grab, he had no time to dodge at all, and his wrist was instantly grabbed by He Yuzhu.
Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu exerted a little force, and Du Guanghe was sucked by an invisible force. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot and was sent into that mysterious space.
Du Weixiang widened his eyes and asked in astonishment:
"Brother Zhuzi, can that person still live normally in there?"
He Yuzhu shook his head and explained:
"Sister, once this person enters the space, he won't be able to live like us normally. He will be in a state of unconsciousness, just like falling into a deep sleep."
Hearing this, Du Weixiang's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but think of...
If I accidentally offend He Yuzhu one day and he throws me into this space and locks me up for decades, when I come out, wouldn't I have turned from a young and beautiful girl into an old woman with wrinkles all over my face?
Just thinking about this horrific scene made Du Weixiang shudder.
"What you said is quite true. So, if you two don't cooperate honestly, don't blame me for being rude and locking you both up!"
Du Weixiang shuddered when she heard this and said anxiously, "I swear, everything I said is true! It was indeed my grandfather who took care of everything at that time. I had no involvement at all."
He Yuzhu nodded slightly, indicating his approval of her statement, and continued:
"Okay, then I'll let your grandfather out now. You have to persuade him to be more sensible."
After saying that, He Yuzhu waved his arm, a ray of light flashed, and Du Guanghe, who had been collected in the mysterious space, instantly appeared in front of everyone.
Du Guanghe looked around and found that the train had not started yet. He was secretly surprised, because he had only been in that strange space for a few minutes.
Seeing this, Du Weixiang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, what did you feel like in there just now?"
Du Guanghe shook his head and slowly replied: "Nothing special, just like falling into a very deep sleep."
At this time, He Yuzhu warned again:
"I'll give you one last chance. Hurry up and explain everything you need to. Otherwise, when the train arrives in Hong Kong, don't blame me for being heartless and ungrateful and turning my back on you!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the box, closing the door gently, leaving enough space for the grandparents and grandchildren to communicate.
At this moment, the staff member in charge of ticket checking walked over slowly, took the tickets from the two people, and turned and left.
Time passed minute by minute. After about a few minutes, accompanied by a low and long whistle, the train began to move slowly. There was a rhythmic friction sound between the wheels and the rails, and it gradually accelerated forward.
This journey is not short and it will take several days to reach the destination.
However, He Yuzhu seemed very calm and composed, not at all anxious about the long journey. After all, their identities had changed dramatically now, and they no longer had those special abilities or statuses, but were just two ordinary people.
Du Weixiang, who was sitting next to him, looked at his grandfather anxiously and couldn't help but say:
"Grandpa, we have been locked up here for such a long time, please be kind enough to tell me!"
The old man frowned and sighed:
"My child, you don't know that this is a treasure that our family has been longing for for decades. We finally got it, but before we could even fully enjoy the joy it brought us, it was snatched away by someone else!"
Du Weixiang's eyes widened and he asked anxiously, "Grandpa, what kind of secret is hidden in there?"
Du Guanghe shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice: "No, I absolutely cannot tell you. If I tell you, and you accidentally reveal it one day, then everything will be over!"
Du Weixiang stamped her feet anxiously and said in defense: "Why would I tell others? Grandpa, is there really nothing we can do? If we don't hand it over, will he let us go?"
Du Guanghe was silent for a moment, staring into the distance, and muttered to himself: "Let me think about it carefully..."
Du Guanghe slowly turned his head, stared straight at Du Weixiang, and asked softly:
"So much time has passed, and you still haven't given birth to a child for He Yuzhu, right?"
Hearing this, Du Weixiang's face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. Recalling her past experiences, she couldn't help but feel bitter.
At first, she was a simple and kind-hearted woman, but due to various threats and inducements, she had no choice but to become He Yuzhu's woman.
Despite their many intimate relationships, for some reason, no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to conceive.
This matter has been like a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making her frown.
At this moment, when her grandfather suddenly asked this question, she felt her face burning, as if it was burned by fire.
She lowered her head, not daring to look Grandpa in the eye, and answered in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
"Grandpa, it's my fault... I failed to live up to my expectations and leave a bloodline for the He family..."
Du Guanghe sighed deeply, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame:
"Oh! It's all Grandpa's fault. I wish I hadn't brought you here. I just wanted to bring my granddaughter out to see the world and broaden her horizons. I never expected something like this to happen. I actually ruined your life's happiness just like that..."
As he spoke, he could not help but burst into tears. Du Weixiang quickly raised her head, reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Grandpa's eyes, and comforted him:
"Grandpa, please don't say that. It's been so long since the incident happened. It's useless to regret it. Maybe this is my fate. I accept it..."
After saying this, a hint of helplessness and relief appeared in her eyes.
At this time, the grandfather and grandson fell into a brief silence. After a while, they began to talk to each other about what they had experienced during this period of time, sharing each other's experiences and feelings.
However, although they were chatting animatedly and temporarily forgot their troubles, the thought of their current predicament of being captured and their uncertain future made their hearts heavy again.
"How was your discussion?" With a slight creaking sound, He Yuzhu gently pushed open the slightly old door and poked his head in to ask. The room was quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing coming and going.
After a long while, a hesitant voice came: "You...let me think about it again."
The person who spoke was Du Guanghe. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with a frown on his face and a troubled expression, rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu was not in a hurry, but just smiled and said:
"No problem, I have plenty of patience." After saying that, he sat down leisurely.
Seeing this, Du Guanghe couldn't help but sigh secretly, his heart was filled with worry.
Before this, the two of them were in two different places, thousands of miles apart. Because of this, even when facing interrogation, he could grit his teeth and refuse to confess.
However, now the situation is completely different, they have already boarded the train to Hong Kong. Although there are still several days to go before the destination, time will always pass quietly.
Did he really have to wait until he arrived in Hong Kong before confessing everything to the other party? But if he confessed directly like this, he would really be unwilling to do so.
After all, he had gone through untold hardships and finally got the extremely precious jade token. However, before he could send it back home, he and his companions were caught by He Yuzhu.
The time on the train seemed particularly long and boring. He Yuzhu seemed to have expected this. He took out a deck of cards and a box of chess from his backpack like a magic trick, and said to the other two with a smile:
"Come on, let's play together to kill some boring time."
Thus, the originally dull and depressing atmosphere gradually became lively, and the three of them sat together and started an unconventional gaming journey.
As night fell, everything was silent. At this moment, the light in the berth seemed particularly soft. He Yuzhu looked at Du Guanghe and said casually:
"Old Du, you can sleep in that space tonight."
Hearing this, Du Guanghe was stunned at first, his face full of confusion. He asked in confusion: "Why? There are obviously four beds here."
He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then said: "Hey, you are really an old and frivolous elder. Your granddaughter and I are here to perform the Zhougong ceremony and create a new life. Do you really have to listen to us from the sidelines?"
When Du Guanghe heard this, he was so angry that his face turned red, his eyes widened, and he pointed at He Yuzhu and cursed: "You...you little bastard, you are simply lawless!"
It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that along the way, the bad guy He Yuzhu had not let his precious granddaughter go even on the train.
Du Weixiang, who was standing by, had already blushed with shame. She lowered her head, not daring to say a word, and kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands.
Seeing this, Du Guanghe had to take a deep breath, suppress the anger in his heart, and said helplessly:
"Forget it, just send me into that space."
As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. Moreover, in that mysterious space, there is no chance to even think.
Besides, it wasn't the first time that his granddaughter had such close contact with He Yuzhu, so one more time wouldn't seem to be a big deal.
So, He Yuzhu smiled and sent Du Guanghe into the space. After settling Du Guanghe, He Yuzhu turned to look at Du Weixiang, raised his eyebrows, and teased:
"What are you still standing there for? Go get some water and wash up."
Du Weixiang responded softly, "Yes!" Then she turned around and went out to fetch a basin of steaming hot water. She carefully brought it back to the berth and began to serve He Yuzhu attentively.
Along the way, the sun shines on the earth, and the daytime seems particularly bright and warm.
At this time, they will release Du Guanghe from that mysterious place and let him feel the breath of the outside world.
Whenever night fell and the sky gradually darkened, Du Guanghe would consciously ask He Yuzhu to let him return to that special place.
He knew very well that the night time should be for He Yuzhu and him to be alone, giving them enough private space to communicate their emotions and express their thoughts.
In this way, the days passed one by one, for a full seven days and seven nights. The long journey seemed to have no end, but finally, the train slowly pulled into the railway station in Yangcheng, and stopped steadily after a heavy gasp.
He Yuzhu and two other people got off the train and set foot on this unfamiliar land.
They were soon picked up by people who came to pick them up and taken to a simple but clean and tidy guesthouse.
Here, they were able to rest for a while and recuperate. After a full day of rest, they boarded the train to Hong Kong the next day.
The train kept moving forward until it finally reached the Xiangjiang River. Although there was already a train that could go directly to Kowloon on the Xiangjiang River, He Yuzhu still had to sneak across the river by himself.
The lights were on at night, and the bright lights reflected on the river, making the waves sparkle like a dream. According to the prior arrangement, the accompanying personnel drove them to the riverside at night.
"As long as you cross this river, the bustling and lively Hong Kong River is on the other side. However, my superiors have not given me the order to send you across the river. My task is only to send you here." The accompanying personnel said calmly.
He Yuzhu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding and gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work. I have been able to come this far thanks to your care."
The accompanying staff waved their hands and smiled, "It's not hard, it's not hard! This is all my job, and it's my honor to be able to help."
After saying this, he seemed to realize what might happen next, so he tactfully said goodbye.
After the accompanying personnel drove away and disappeared into the night, He Yuzhu made a prompt decision and used magical means to directly bring Du Guang and the grandfather and grandson into the space.
