and travel

Grandma's surname is Wang, and she is from Liwang Village next to Zhuluo Town.When she was young, she was considered a beauty in the village, Xiaojiabiyu.

It's just that she is a girl after all, a girl from a peasant family. At the age of 16, she was sold by her father to Lao Liang, a bachelor in the village.

Lao Liang's appearance is not bad, his facial features are correct, and he is ordinary.At first, Lao Liang treated her well, and when Grandma Wang was pregnant, he served her attentively.

Grandma Wang gave birth to a daughter, and Lao Liang wanted a boy to carry on the family line.After trying various methods, Grandma Wang was unable to conceive a boy again.The two baby girls born later were strangled to death by Lao Liang.

The fact that Grandma Wang was unable to give birth to a son was well known in the village, and Lao Liang, who was ridiculed by the villagers, hated his wife.And Lao Liang used to like drinking, because he hated Grandma Wang, so every time he got drunk, he would beat his wife and children severely.

When Liang Hua was 15 years old, Lao Liang owed money outside.So she sold her daughter to a brothel. Liang Hua inherited her mother's good looks and became the number one brothel in Zhuluo Town.

"Women in the brothel will never be able to have children of their own." The fat boss said, "They are forced to sell their souls and become men's playthings. There is no freedom at all, and receiving customers is all."

The fat boss stopped, as if thinking of something, his eyes gradually became moist.Seeing Jiang Daoyang watching, he quickly lowered his head and wiped away his tears to continue talking.

Liang Hua fell in love with a man, and that man was a rich young master.The rich young master didn't look very good, he and Liang Hua met at a banquet.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the prefect of Zhuluo Town held a banquet.The children of rich families in the city were invited to a banquet, including Mr. Jia, and the girls from the brothel were also invited to the banquet.

All the rich kids sitting here acted frivolously after they got drunk.Liang Hua, who was the number one, suffered even more, and Mr. Jia helped her out at that time.

Fat Boss: "Did you know? Most of the brothel girls are stupid, they yearn for true love instead of carnal transactions. Mr. Jia treats Liang Hua a little better, and she falls in love with him, wishing to entrust her whole heart to him."

Jiang Daoyang: "You are Mr. Jia, right?"

"Yes!" The fat boss couldn't hold back anymore, crying heartbreakingly: "If I hadn't fallen in love with her, if we hadn't planned to elope. If..."

Mr. Jia and Liang Hua were arrested after they eloped, and Liang Hua went back to the brothel.Mr. Jia was also strictly guarded by his family, and was sent out of Zhuluo Town after a few days to do business in other places.

Liang Hua was already pregnant at that time, and she insisted on giving birth to a child.For the sake of the child, Liang Hua found her mother, Grandma Wang.

At this time, Lao Liang was already dead. Grandma Wang took over the child and named her Xinghua, saying that it was a cheap name and easy to raise. Grandma Wang took care of her and brought her up.

But Liang Hua continued to stay in the brothel until she was drained of her last trace of value.After her death, her body was thrown into a mass grave, devoured by wild dogs, leaving no bones left.

Grandma Wang raised the child, and the two depended on each other for life.Xinghua is also very beautiful, even more beautiful than her mother.

"Where are the almond blossoms?"

Luo Chuan came from the dark. He had been here for a long time, and he probably heard the story.

"Bandits plundered here, and Xinghua was robbed to the mountain two years ago." The fat boss continued: "Grandma still remembered this a year ago. Just six months ago, she had dementia and couldn't remember clearly. I thought Xinghua just went shopping in the street."

The officials of Zhuluo Town protect each other, and even the prefect was bought by the bandits on the mountain.It was useless to report to the official, and the report was fruitless, so Xinghua stayed on the mountain for two years.Life and death are uncertain now.

But the fat boss, Mr. Jia, sought countless people from all walks of life, but he couldn't go up the mountain to save people.

"Who are you looking for? Why don't you hire some killers?" Jiang Daoyang asked.

The fat boss smiled wryly, his smile was uglier than crying: "Qinghe Pavilion won't accept this order, Qiya Pavilion's price is too high, I am no longer that rich young master."

As early as when the fat boss came back from business, he found that Liang Hua was dead, so he left the family and started his own business, slowly running this small inn.Naturally, a small business cannot afford the frighteningly high price of Qiya Pavilion.

Qinghe Pavilion said that the people on the mountain paid them money, and they had interests, so they didn't kill them.

And the price of Qiya Pavilion is too high, he can't afford it.

After hearing these stories behind Grandma Wang, the two returned to the room.Luo Chuan felt that Granny's life experience was rough. He was born in the palace, and even in the past few years as a killer, he only cared about killing people, so he knew little about the misery at the bottom.

Time passed quickly, and the sunset glow disappeared, leaving only darkness in the sky until it was dark and terrifying.

It was late at night, and the two were sleeping in the same bed.

Jiang Daoyang took off his coat and lay on his side.Luo Chuan, on the other hand, slept outside with his clothes on.

"Do you want to help her?"

"There are too many things like this to help."

When Luo Chuan said this, he was actually thinking about Grandma Wang in his heart.It's not that he hasn't heard of this kind of thing, but seeing it in person, he is always a little entangled in his heart.To help or not to help, Luo Chuan intends to follow his heart.

Jiang Daoyang turned over to face him, put his hands on his waist, and said softly: "Don't think about it, go to sleep!"

Second day

early morning

Jiang Daoyang woke up first. Last night he put tranquilizers under his pillow.

Luo Chuan slept soundly all night, and he didn't wake up until Jiang Daoyang turned sideways and gently flicked his eyelashes with his fingers.

Today is the day when Luo Chuan and Jiang Daoyang are going to set off and move on.

Originally, they didn't intend to come to Zhuluo Town.Instead, we have to go a little further and go to Hulian City.Now because of the old horse, I will stay here for a day. Today, I hired a new carriage and driver, and the two will continue to move forward.

The coachman this time was a young man with a handsome appearance, exactly the thirteen of that day.

The carriage moved out of the town at a steady speed.

Luo Chuan was about to fall asleep, when suddenly, there was a cry mixed with crying.

Grandma Wang was chasing after the carriage, and she was already far away.Grandma Wang was still chasing, staggering every step, and the walking stick was also thrown on the ground.Her clothes were also covered with mud, but she still got up unwillingly and ran forward.Trying to catch up with Luo Chuan and their carriage.

"Xinghua—don't go—I can't catch up, grandma just found you...why don't you want grandma..."

Grandma Wang fell to the ground again, her cries became smaller and smaller, and could no longer be heard.

Shisan did not expect that someone would chase the car, and saw the fallen grandmother.He stopped the car, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Luo Chuan didn't speak, he got out of the car and came to Grandma's side.There was still some hesitation yesterday, but a decision was made at this moment.

"Grandma." He wiped away tears for the old man and continued: "I have killed many people, most of them are innocent."

"Now help you, as atonement."

This passage seems to be speaking to Grandma, but also to Jiang Daoyang behind him.In fact, he was talking to himself.

"Get in the car, I'll take you home."

Luo Chuan helped her into the carriage, and Jiang Daoyang sat beside him, gently stroking Luo Chuan's wrist with his fingers.And Luo Chuan turned to look at him, and couldn't help being immersed in the deep eyes.There is indescribable love in it.

"Have we met before?" Luo Chuan asked suddenly.He always felt that Jiang Daoyang was very similar to that person, and that person also liked to look at him with such eyes.

After hearing what he said, Jiang Daoyang smiled softly and said, "Maybe! Maybe they were married by fate in the previous life."

Luo Chuan followed his words and asked, "Is Master Jiang a wife?"

"I can go up or down, everything is up to Lord Luo's will." Jiang Daoyang smiled.

Luo Chuan: "..."
