Chapter 419: The knot in the heart is hard to untie.
"Xiao Ni has a miserable life. Her parents passed away a few years ago, and I, an old woman, raised her. How could she die out of the blue?"
"I raised her with great difficulty!"
The old woman could not accept the fact that the only blood of her son left in this world was dead.
She spat out a mouthful of blood.
But his hand was still tightly grasping the hem of Su Tan's clothes.
The old woman's eyes widened, her body curled up in pain, and her vision began to blur. "It's my fault..."
"It's all my fault that I'm useless as an old woman."
"I wish I had taken her to the market that day!"
"If I had taken her to the market, she wouldn't have been kidnapped at home, wouldn't have been inexplicably involved in these things, and wouldn't have died."
As the old woman spoke, she beat her chest hard, and blood kept oozing from the corners of her mouth.
Sui Sui, who was still young, watched this scene with his hands shaking.
She took out a handkerchief and kept trying to wipe the blood from the corner of the old woman's mouth.
But no matter how she wiped it, the blood seemed to never be wiped away.
The blood coughed up from the corner of the old woman's mouth seemed to never stop flowing. Her eyes slowly widened, her hands trembled, and she soiled several handkerchiefs. She cried helplessly, "Grandma... Grandma, don't close your eyes, I'll go find a doctor for you..."
"Grandma, wait a minute, I'll go find a doctor for you..."
Sui Sui's tears fell one by one, hitting the back of the old lady's hand.
She tried to wipe the blood from the corner of the old lady's mouth, but it seemed like she was walking on an endless road full of thorns. No matter how hard she tried, the road would never end.
Just like the old lady and her friends who traveled through mountains and rivers to the capital, thinking that they could finally seek justice for their children, thinking that no matter what, their children might have just been tortured, but they were still alive.
But what is the result?
The result is so cruel.
The monarch, who is high above everyone else, does not care about the ants in the world and does not care about the lives of his subjects.
Even though their tears were about to drown the entire capital, the king still sat high on the dragon throne, boasting about how he loved his people like his own children.
The recorder kept records every day. Even when the emperor was having meals, he was thinking about his people, fearing that he had done something wrong and made the people live in dire straits.
Thousands of years later, if future generations open the daily records of Emperor Qinglong, they will probably sigh that he was truly a good emperor who loved his people and cared so much about the people.
Little did they know that countless bones were buried in every page of this diary.
Su Tan thought of something that was inappropriate yet most appropriate at the right time.
——The article describes all the peaceful things, and is unwilling to bow its head to see the common people.
The old lady shook her head, forced herself to force a smile at Sui Sui.
"Little girl, don't waste your handkerchief."
"I know you're a good person, but Xiaoni is dead, and I really don't have the strength to live anymore."
She suddenly felt very tired.
I didn't even have the slightest bit of strength left.
The next moment, her hands dropped heavily and she closed her eyes tightly.
Sui Sui whimpered and broke down crying.
“Grandma…”
“Grandma…”
Lu Zhiheng stood aside. He said nothing, but just stared at the old lady's body without blinking.
But it seemed like he had said everything.
However, the person traveling with the old lady suddenly gave a wry smile and said, "She has already spent all her energy. She came to the capital with us with her last breath, just to find the whereabouts of her little girl."
They wiped their tears as they spoke.
It's not just grandma who is like this, they are the same.
They both came to the capital with their last breath.
I thought I could get justice here.
Some even deceived themselves into thinking that as long as the emperor gave the order, they would always find their children.
Whenever they didn't see the child's body, they would always think that the child might have been abducted by those beggars.
Just locked up.
But Su Tan cruelly told the old lady the truth.
Informed Xiao Ni that she was dead.
The old woman could no longer bear it. She spat out a mouthful of blood and her body instantly withered and died.
Su Tan stared blankly at the old woman's body on the ground, his body growing colder and colder.
During this period, the heat was unbearable and the scorching sun hanging high in the sky was almost enough to melt the whole person.
But when Su Tan stood in the inn, she felt that she was surrounded by layers of ice.
The endless chill almost enveloped and swallowed her whole body.
She stared blankly with her eyes wide open.
Eyes wandering and out of focus.
My heart feels so sour and swollen.
It was like an invisible big hand tightly grasping her heart. Su Tan's body swayed uncomfortably. Fortunately, Sui Sui and Lu Zhiheng supported her from behind, so she did not fall.
Su Tan slowly lowered his head and clenched his fingertips slightly.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Maybe……
Maybe she shouldn't be so cruel.
The old lady was so old, how could she tell her that the other party's only granddaughter was no longer alive.
She killed grandma with her own hands.
No!
Su Tan suddenly raised his eyes.
She wasn't the one who killed grandma.
They are the culprits who kidnapped the baby girls!
He is the emperor who knows everything but does nothing!
Many people may be responsible for grandma's death, but she cannot be the one who killed grandma.
Lu Zhiheng shook his head, "No!"
"Not you!"
"It's not your fault anyway."
"It wasn't you who killed Grandma, it was them!"
Even the people who were traveling with the old lady sighed deeply.
"Yes, Master Su, Xiaoni's grandmother is just too tired and can't hold on any longer."
"She has always had a knot in her heart. She always feels that if she had taken Xiaoni to the market that day, maybe Xiaoni would not have disappeared, let alone died."
An old lady said this to Su Tan, but she couldn't help crying out in grief.
"But it's no use!"
"That day, the head of our family and I took our child to the market. The head of our family was holding the child's hand the whole time. Suddenly, a snake bit his foot. He looked down, and when he looked up again, our child was gone."
Among this crowd, there were many people whose children had disappeared at the market.
But no matter what, the old lady could never untie the knot in her heart.
"In fact, when we came to Beijing, we had already met those fortune tellers under the overpass. We even asked them to tell us whether our children were still alive."
They remembered that a master named Li said that the children were all dead.
Tell them not to come to the capital again.
Even if we come to the capital, it will be a waste of effort.
No one cares about their children's life or death.
They just never believed it.
