Past Events 1
Hearing this, Li Ping'an was puzzled and subconsciously looked into the pot. Now that he was closer, he could see more clearly. In addition to meat and bones, there was also a head rolling in the pot. Suddenly, he felt nauseous.
As she rolled over, Li Ping'an saw clearly that this man was one of the thugs who came in to rob her.
The impact of this scene was far greater than that of the previous world. The smell of blood and stench mixed with the men's dirty words almost made Li Ping'an vomit.
Just when Li Ping'an was about to go out and beat up a few people, waves of painful groans were heard. The sound sounded familiar to Li Ping'an.
Looking up, the men who had just been eating heartily were now all lying on the ground, holding their stomachs and wailing, spitting out black blood from their mouths.
Li Ping'an was just wondering when he heard shouting from afar. He turned around and saw people crawling out from the darkness, their fingers spread out, sometimes grasping the ground tightly, sometimes stretching forward, with expressions of extreme pain on their faces.
Not long after, many people crawled out of the street one after another. Some had distorted faces and were motionless, while others were still struggling.
Li Ping'an subconsciously thought of Sun Wuya and looked at her, only to see that she was lying on the ground, motionless.
Dead?
Li Ping'an walked out from behind the corner and walked towards Sun Wuya. At this time, she was lying on the ground with a calm expression.
Just when Li Ping'an really thought she was dead, he saw her open her eyes.
Seeing that she was not dead, Li Ping'an opened his mouth to ask, but she took the initiative to say, "You are not gone, hush, listen quietly." Her voice was so weak that it was impossible to hear clearly without listening carefully.
Listening to the wailing sounds coming from the city, Sun Wuya seemed very happy.
Li Ping'an was even more confused. In her opinion, Sun Wuya should not be such a cruel person.
So he squatted down beside her and asked with a troubled look on his face, "What are you doing?"
After hearing what Li Ping'an said, Sun Wuya did not answer, but suddenly said, "My elder sister is dead."
Then he struggled to sit up and pointed his finger at a big river outside the city, "He will die by that river."
Then he added, "My second sister also died many years ago."
"You're curious, aren't you?" If you weren't curious, you wouldn't have come back.
Li Pingan nodded.
"Help me in and take a look, and I'll tell you, okay?" A hint of girlish innocence appeared on Sun Wuya's face, and her tone was coquettish.
Li Pingan didn't know why her tone changed so quickly, but who could refuse free gossip?
Li Ping'an originally wanted to help her go in, but Sun Wuya had no strength left in her body. She was like a noodle and could not be lifted up even with help.
Li Ping'an simply carried her on his back and walked into the city. Before he took two steps, he felt a little wet on her neck. Li Ping'an realized what it was but did not ask.
Sun Wuya took the initiative to speak, "I'm sorry, I got your neck wet."
Li Pingan shook his head, and then both of them were silent.
The first thing I saw was a group of people lying in the dilapidated house, eating human flesh.
"Those lying on the ground are the famous hooligans in the east city, and those boiling in the pot are the local tyrants in the west city. Both sides have always been in cahoots with each other, stealing and forcing women into prostitution."
"I didn't expect that it would be a dog-eat-dog situation now."
After hearing what she said, Li Pingan chuckled.
Continuing to walk in, I saw a skinny and withered old man leaning against the door. Although the inside looked messy, judging by the layout, it should be a clinic. The old man looked like he was dying with his eyes wide open, his eyeballs almost popping out.
"This is the best old doctor in the city. He's also a well-known philanthropist. He has many children and grandchildren, and he lives out his days in peace. People in the city say this is his blessing."
"Why did he end up like this now?"
Li Ping'an pursed his lips and frowned. Although Sun Wuya's words were all praises for this person, Li Ping'an heard a hint of teasing.
Walking further in, you will pass by a two-story restaurant. Even though it is abandoned now, you can still see its past glory.
A middle-aged man with a thriving figure was lying in front of the restaurant. It was hard to imagine that when everyone else was starving and skinny, he could still be so thriving.
"This is the largest restaurant here. It's said that a single cold dish there is worth twenty coins. Ordinary people can't even get in."
"Now you're lying on the threshold, it's pitiful."
…
Li Ping'an carried her on his back and walked through the small town again. It seemed that all the people in the town were dead. Every time she met someone, Sun Wuya could always tell about his or her personality, occupation and past.
Some people died in the house, but Sun Wuya could still direct her to go in.
"Did you come to the city often before?" Looking at Sun Wuya's family situation, it didn't seem like she could come to the city often.
Sun Wuya had originally calmed down, but after hearing Li Pingan's words, she became excited again, "I have only been to the city once."
"My sister told me all this. My sister and I are very close."
It's strange, Sun Wuya's sister seems to be very familiar with this city.
However, this telepathy is a bit far-fetched. Li Ping'an still thinks that it was Sun Wuya's sister who told her. After all, didn't her sister go back a year ago?
After going around in circles, Li Ping'an carried Sun Wuya on his back and arrived at the river outside the city. This was the first time Li Ping'an had a close look at the river.
When he looked closer, he found that fish kept jumping up and down in the river. Li Pingan was still a little unresponsive after seeing it. He pointed at the fish that had just jumped up and said, "Wu Ya, did you see that?"
Sun Wuya looked at the river, her expression filled with resentment and attachment. "Are you talking about fish?"
"Since there are fish, they..."
Before Li Pingan finished speaking, Sun Wuya took over and said, "Since there is fish, why don't they eat it?"
“Because they are afraid,”
As Sun Wuya was talking, she suddenly burst into laughter. She couldn't stop laughing for a while and started coughing.
Li Pingan quickly patted her back, fearing that she would cough to death. After all, she had not yet said what she had promised to say.
After Sun Wuya recovered, her voice became much weaker, and she was about to reunite with everyone in the city in the next second. "Thank you, thank you."
"You are not from this world, are you?" Although Sun Wuya was asking Li Ping'an, her tone was already firm.
Li Ping'an did not answer, but just looked at her steadily.
Sun Wuya smiled and said, "When I was on your back just now, I thought it was my sister carrying me."
After saying this, Sun Wuya seemed to remember something and said hurriedly, "I have to speak quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
No time? What time are we rushing for?
Sun Wuya ignored Li Ping'an's question and was lost in her own memories. She said, "I was born in a family in Daniu Village. I am the fifth daughter of this family."
"Although she is the fifth daughter, there are only two who survived before her: my eldest sister and my second sister."
"My father saw that I was a girl and very thin when I was born, so he thought I would not survive. He threw me aside and told my mother not to feed me."
"My eldest sister took pity on me and secretly took me to my mother to feed me when the adults were away. Although my mother listened to my father and didn't want to feed me, her heart softened when she saw me."
"I managed to survive for three days like this. My father saw that I could survive without food for three days and thought I must be a monster. He grabbed my feet and was about to throw me to death."
"Luckily, my second sister was there and caught me. She was only four years older than me, so she could only hold me while running and yelling to call my eldest sister over."
"My eldest sister came and she got on the ground and told my father about how she secretly took me to feed me."
"My father was very angry. He felt that my eldest sister had disobeyed him, so he kicked her so hard that he almost killed her."
"It was only after my mother dragged her still-weak body out of bed and begged desperately at the door that my father finally let my eldest sister go."
"But my father immediately took out his anger on my mother. He forced her to work in the fields just three days after she gave birth."
At this point, Sun Wuya's tears fell. "Because of this, my mother's health did not improve. She died within a year."
"After my mother died, my father became even angrier. He felt that it was all because of us, the money-losers, that he lost his wife."
"From then on, if she was a little unhappy, she would punch and kick us. At this time, my second sister would protect my eldest sister, and my eldest sister would protect me."
When Sun Wuya recalled this moment, her breathing became heavier. She still remembered the muffled sound when her fist hit someone.
Li Ping'an was afraid that Sun Wuya would be angry to death, so he quickly patted her back to help her calm down.
Sun Wuya turned to look at Li Pingan, "Don't you have any doubts?"
"What are you doubting?" Why did you stop talking halfway?
"You suspect I'm lying. After all, how can a baby remember things?" Sun Wuya often heard these words since she grew up.
Li Pingan paused and said to her comfortingly, "The world is so big, there are always some people with excellent memories. Maybe you are one of them."
When Sun Wuya heard Li Ping'an's comfort, she laughed instead and kept it a secret. "When I finish telling you the story, I will tell you why I remember these things."
After that, Sun Wuya continued, "Less than a year passed like this. One day, my father came back, beaming with joy. He didn't beat us, but instead called us over to him, looked at us one by one, and gave us some malt candy. It was this big. It was the first time we had candy."
Sun Wuya gestured with her hands, and Li Pingan fell silent. The candy was only half the size of a person's little finger nail.
Sun Wuya didn't seem to expect Li Ping'an's response, but continued to talk on her own, "Later, my second sister was taken away."
"My father sold her. Guess where he went?"
Although Sun Wuya's tone was not very good, Li Pingan still tentatively guessed the best answer, "Sell her to someone else as a maid?"
Hearing Li Ping'an's answer, Sun Wuya's eyes were filled with hatred, and the following words were full of blood, "He sold my second sister to someone else for a ghost marriage!"
"I begged him. My eldest sister and I knelt on the ground and begged him, but he wouldn't listen. I swore to him that when I grew up I would help him make money. I begged him not to sell my second sister."
"But he doesn't believe it!"
Sun Wuya wanted to roar, but she didn't have enough strength. However, her hatred could be seen from her violently heaving chest.
