Chapter 84 Dreams
The more the system gives, the more the powerful will target you. A rich man without a foundation and a backstage is like a child holding a huge treasure but no one to protect him.
Those powerful will certainly eat up Brother Gan's family alive.
"Brother Gan, do you really want to hide with Tian'er for the rest of your life?"
Gan Fanren also thought about these questions asked by Gongsun Yue, but he was just a scholar and never dared to dream of rebellion.
From the beginning to the end, his wish was just to stay with his wife and children and live a peaceful life. He never thought of high positions, wealth, honors, and wealth.
"Ah Yue, I will consider what you said."
Maybe because he drank two more cups, Gan Fanren's mind was a little confused at this time. He stood up in a daze and returned to the room accompanied by the moonlight.
Seeing him come back, Hui Niang handed him the hangover soup that had been prepared long ago, and considerately helped him take off his robe.
He hugged his wife and his mood calmed down a lot.
"My wife, I miss you so much." He buried his head under Hui Niang's neck, smelling the fragrance on her body, and his tone was soft and delicate. "
Didn't you just go out for a drink? My husband said it as if you and I haven't seen each other for a long time."
Hui Niang hugged Gan Fanren's shoulders, just as gently.
Hearing this, Gan Fanren said nothing, but just kissed Hui Niang's white jade neck lightly.
"My wife, will you blame me for being useless and not being able to let you live a life of luxury?"
"If there is a chance to change our current life, but it may cost a huge price, are you willing to do it?"
Hui Niang patted Gan Fanren on the back gently and said softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have never asked for wealth and honor, I just want my family to be safe and sound."
"If I really wanted to live a life of wealth and honor, I would not have chosen you ten years ago."
Gan Fanren snorted in dissatisfaction like a child.
"My wife, don't choose him. He is a fickle guy. Unlike me, I will only be with you for my whole life."
"I will be good to you and Tian'er. If I let you down one day, I will be struck by lightning."
"Don't choose him, don't think about him, just choose me."
"Okay, okay, I choose you, I choose you!"
Gan Fanren's alcohol tolerance is actually quite good. He just wanted to act coquettishly with his wife under the influence of alcohol.
He lay on Hui Niang, humming, kissing and coaxing, and made a lot of noise for a long time before he fell into a deep sleep.
At night, he had a dream.
He dreamed that he was in rags and fled with his wife and children. It was very rough.
They had no system, and could not hear their daughter's voice. The family was starving and cold. The children were skinny and their daughter was as thin as a kitten. Even her breathing became very shallow, as if she would die in the next second.
In order to save food, he secretly ate Guanyin soil without Hui Niang's knowledge.
The Guanyin soil made his stomach swell up and hurt a lot, but he did not show it at all. He took the children to find food every day. His daughter
was too young and needed someone to take care of her. Although he was worried, he had to leave Hui Niang and his daughter behind.
"Chengyu, I'm going to find some food. Please help me take care of my aunt and sister. I'll share the food with you when I come back."
A boy who looked like a white dumpling replied obediently, "Don't worry, I will take good care of my aunt and sister."
After getting the child's response, he left with his sons at ease. But when he came back, he saw the boy who was crying and shaking all over.
"Uncle, aunt and sister were killed. I, I was useless and failed to protect them."
Hearing the boy's words, he felt like the sky had fallen.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
"It's true. A group of strangers rushed in. They took my aunt and sister away. They cooked and ate my sister."
The boy's body was covered with blood and dirt, and his face was gray. It was heartbreaking to see him crying.
But under his wide sleeves, the corners of his mouth were raised high. His face was black, but the area around his lips was white and tender with an oily sheen, obviously because he had just eaten.
He smacked his lips in aftertaste, and when his head appeared from behind his sleeves, he looked like he was crying his heart out.
Gan Fanren's body couldn't help shaking, and in the end he fell directly to the ground.
"My wife..."
"My wife..."
"Tian'er..."
He rolled over on the ground, wailing. The Guanyin soil in his stomach seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, causing him unbearable pain.
They were about to reach the capital. As long as they reached the capital, he would be able to find a living and feed his family.
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit!
Why is God so cruel?
If he hadn't gone out today, it would have been
great! If he had brought his wife and daughter with him!
If...
If my wife hadn't chosen him, would he still be living a life of luxury now, without suffering such pain, and wouldn't have ended up like this.
The heart-wrenching pain engulfed him like a tide.
"My wife..."
Gan Fanren shouted and sat up suddenly.
Listening to the chirping of insects and birds, and looking at the cozy decoration in the house, Gan Fanren slowly calmed down.
But he still felt a chill filling his limbs.
He sat up straight and slowly put on his clothes. The warm light shone into the room through the window lattice with a woody fragrance.
He moved the eight-immortals stool in the room to the sunlight, and his body felt a little warmer.
Those were all dreams, not real.
No!
Even though he already knew what would happen in the future from his daughter's voice, his daughter's voice was just a simple sentence, not a personal experience, so it was a little different.
The experience in the dream was very real, as if it had already happened. The pain of losing a loved one and a family member was very deep.
He did not review his lessons or help his children with their homework, but continued to lie on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, he was already in his forties and his sons had grown up.
He entered the temple and became an important official in the court. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he was gloomy and difficult to approach. He went down to celebrate his colleague's birthday at the invitation of his colleague.
"Brother Gan, I thought you wouldn't come today."
The colleague winked at him and said, "Today I have invited the courtesan from Yangliu Tower. If you don't come, you will miss this beauty."
He picked up the wine glass and said coldly, "She is just a prostitute. It's a pity to miss her."
"Brother Gan, you don't know, this prostitute is different from other prostitutes. Although she is already middle-aged, she is extremely beautiful. She can be described as icy and charming. She is born to be a courtesan. Many important officials in the court are her followers. Once you have tasted her once, I'm afraid you will never be able to give her up again."
