Chapter 368: Previous Life Extra - Rebirth in the Old Days
After Ye Wansheng's mother fell ill, she would always mention her daughter from time to time. Coupled with the death of both elders, Ye Wansheng began to feel uneasy. He wanted to make sure Ye Mu was doing well no matter what.
Once, Ye Wansheng told him that he was worried about his sister and asked Lin Dan to help him think of a way to ask the captain for a letter of introduction so that he could return to H Province. Lin Dan was thinking about it, but he didn't need to think of this method anymore.
The death of Grandpa Ye and Grandma Yang served as the letter of introduction for returning to Province H.
However, when we arrived in Province H, there was no good news.
Ye Mu is gone, and others call him a spy. That whole family has become spies.
Lin Dan didn't believe that the sister that Ye Wansheng said was afraid of everyone and almost like an idiot was a spy.
But the people are dead, and they have no way to verify all this.
The situation of the Ye family was already dire enough. If there was any good news, they would have been able to hold on. However, God extinguished the last bit of hope, as if he wanted Ye Wansheng and the others to disappear just like that.
Aren’t there enough people who died in the past years? Just among the long-term workers who followed his grandfather, many of those who protected them died. Lin Dan hated this world so much.
"You go to the hospital first, and then we'll go back to Province F, back to the village. Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhu are still waiting for you..."
At this point, Lin Dan stopped talking. Yes, Ye Wansheng’s sick mother was still waiting for him.
Wait for him to bring back good news about his youngest daughter Ye Mu.
“I can’t go back.”
As Lin Dan gradually became more and more tired while carrying the person on his back, Ye Wansheng, who was immersed in his own world, seemed to finally wake up from the endless pain and spoke with a sob on Lin Dan's thin back.
Ye Wansheng paused, and just lowered his eyes, his eyes reddened a little:
"You can go back."
"I'm not going to the hospital anymore. I'm going to buy a ticket now."
Ye Wansheng struggled to get off Lin Dan's back. Looking at the young man who was standing a little taller than him, he seemed to have calmed down completely, but Lin Dan thought he was terrifyingly calm.
It was even worse than when he heard the news about Ye Mu before, when he was like a madman, grabbing people and asking questions non-stop, and looking collapsed.
At least the emotions are intense, at least more vivid.
"I want to travel around H Province again."
As he spoke, Ye Wansheng suddenly covered his mouth, pursed his lips, coughed a few times, and then stopped talking.
Just keep moving forward.
"Then let's go for a spin."
Lin Dan hurriedly followed, tightened his not-so-thick cotton jacket, felt his inner pocket, and breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the letter of introduction and banknotes inside.
There are many pickpockets during the Chinese New Year. These are the things they brought back to Province F. Even if they lose others, they cannot lose these things.
Ye Wansheng wandered around for a whole day. At noon, Lin Dan bought two small vegetarian buns, but he didn't eat them. He just wandered around from place to place, staring at a corner of a roadside wall from time to time.
He would cough uncontrollably from time to time, and his eyes were red as if stained with blood.
When Lin Dan thought he would cry, he smiled instead, pursing his lips and laughing softly. Later, Lin Dan couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying, but he didn't shed a single tear.
It gets dark early in winter, and the sky is getting darker and colder. Lin Dan began to worry that he would fall ill if he stayed outside the guesthouse for a night because of his frequent coughing.
In fact, if you grit your teeth and save some money on the bus fare, you can still pay some money to stay in a guesthouse for a night.
There were not many street lights and it was completely dark, but people often go out at night in the countryside, especially Lin Dan and Ye Wansheng.
It was dark, but it did not pose much of a hindrance to their movements.
A few days ago, the two of them were still traveling over the mountains at night, and now there was no inconvenience at all when walking on this flat street.
However, Lin Dan still urged Ye Wansheng: "We have been walking around for almost a day, let's go find a guesthouse to stay overnight. I'll keep this bun for you."
“Stop shopping.”
He said what he had been wanting to say for the next half day.
Seeing that Ye Wansheng’s face was paler than his sick mother’s, Lin Dan had wanted to say this a long time ago.
But there were too many emotions in Ye Wansheng's eyes when he looked at those places, so Lin Dan didn't dare to speak, for fear of interrupting his last thought.
People always have to cherish the past, otherwise how can they regroup and stand up again.
Lin Dan also experienced rebirth from the past.
The night wind was growing stronger. Lin Dan looked around and realized that they had unknowingly walked to the bank of a river.
This river runs through H Province and flows continuously.
There are street lights on the bridge over the river, and they are quite bright, probably because they are afraid that people might accidentally fall off.
But not many people go out at night, especially today is New Year's Eve, and they are the only two people left on the bridge by the river.
Ever since Ye Jungui's leg was injured, Ye Wansheng began to take on the responsibility of supporting the family. He couldn't let his father's leg injury get worse, so he rushed to do a lot of work. The two elders in the family were seriously ill, so Zhu Yuting had to take care of them for a long time and couldn't earn many work points.
But no matter how much they did, by the end of the year, it was all in vain.
Coupled with the running around these days, Lin Dan could still hold on for now, but Ye Wansheng couldn't.
His face was as white as paper under the street light, and the wind from the riverside made his face hurt.
The winter in H Province is quite cold, but the temperature has warmed up a bit during the New Year holidays.
Seeing that he finally stopped, Lin Dan was relieved, but then he heard Ye Wansheng laugh again, and it was the kind of suppressed laugh that made people's hearts clench, "Don't laugh, cry if you want to."
His words seemed to have triggered a switch. Ye Wansheng laughed and then began to sob softly. His body began to tremble again, and his figure swayed, just like before.
Lin Dan reached out to help him up, and then felt something was wrong. He took out the cold bun from his arms and handed it to him:
"Eat something first, or you'll faint from hunger. I won't be able to carry you anymore."
His voice was also a little hoarse. Since the day they met, Lin Dan had never seen Ye Wansheng cry. Even when Ye Wansheng's grandfather and grandmother passed away, he did not shed tears, let alone cry like this.
When he was about to give up on himself, Ye Wansheng helped him. At that time, he was thinking, this person who was sent down to the countryside, who was living a miserable life and was criticized and struggled against from time to time, actually came to help him.
Although he found it ridiculous and disdainful, he seemed to see someone of his own kind. From time to time, he looked at the Ye family, especially Ye Wansheng, who was about the same age as him, watching them trying to survive and protect themselves in the village, and watching him helping his parents with work.
Lin Dan, who had been taken care of by the family's servants since he was a child and looked after by long-term servants, had to face the reality. After venting his anger day after day, he became calm and reliable.
But Lin Dan was still unwilling to accept it. He was never willing to be the person who was insulted and despised and bullied by everyone in the village.
As he got older, he took an opportunity to become what the villagers called a "second-rate person".
Looking at Ye Wansheng biting his lip and crying under the street light, Lin Dan stuffed the bun in his hand into his.
He thought that as long as he could get through this, everything would be fine.
Although Aunt Zhu's illness was serious when they left, he left money at home, so she must have been sent to the hospital and cured by now.
It's not cured, but it's definitely gotten a lot better.
Everything will be fine after these few days.
After a few years, the pain will be forgotten and only hatred will remain.
Just like him.
But he didn't expect that the bun that he had stuffed into Ye Wansheng's hand actually fell to the ground.
