Su Wanti had a very long dream.
The dream is very real, just like what happens in reality.
In her dream, Su Wanti saw a beautiful little boy walking towards her from the misty clouds. The little boy's facial features gradually became clear, and he looked exactly like her child Miaomiao.
"Miaomiao?" she asked tentatively.
The pretty little boy smiled and shook his head at her.
"Wanmei, don't you remember me?" said the little boy.
Wan... Wanmei, he is the only one who calls himself Wanmei...
Su Wanti suddenly remembered, "You are, you are Dugu Cang?"
Suddenly, her heart ached violently, and the blood in her body seemed to flow backwards. Her chest hurt as if it was about to explode, and her head also started to hurt.
"Wanmei, Wanmei." The little boy called her worriedly.
Su Wanti held her chest and gasped for breath. She looked up and saw that the little boy was very close.
He touched his face gently, "Wanmei, you'll be fine."
Miraculously, after he said this, Su Wanti suddenly felt her body relax, the pain in her chest instantly disappeared, her blood flow became smooth, and her mind became extremely clear.
She looked at the little boy's face and saw that the area under his left eye was flat and without any wounds. She hesitated and asked, "Are you Dugu Cang?"
The little boy nodded, "I'm Dugu Cang, but now my name is Jiang Cang."
For some reason, Su Wanti felt that this name was very familiar.
"Jiang Cang, Jiang Cang." She repeated it silently, and her heart ached every time she repeated it.
"Jiang Cang... Jiang Cang!" Suddenly, Su Wanti's pupils constricted. She remembered it, she remembered everything!
Su Wanti suddenly knelt down, holding the little boy's shoulders with both hands, "Are you Jiang Cang? Are you Brother Cang? I remember now, you are my Brother Cang!"
The little boy just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time, a little girl walked out from the clouds. The girl looked exactly like Su Wanti when she was a child. She came over skipping and holding the little boy's hand, and the two disappeared together.
Su Wanti tried to pull the two children, but she couldn't stop them. She could only watch them disappear.
The clouds and mist came and surrounded Su Wanti. Su Wanti pushed the clouds away with all her strength and opened her eyes wide to look for them. Finally, she saw the figures of two children behind the clouds.
The two children held hands and skipped to the stream, fishing together, went to the orchard, picking fruits together, and went to the fields, picking wild flowers together...
The little girl was sick, so the little boy caught her favorite rabbit, hid it in a food box, and brought it to her secretly, asking the rabbit to play with her.
The little boy caught a cold and had a fever. The little girl was so anxious that she refused to leave and insisted on staying with him. Finally, she held his hand and fell asleep beside his bed.
The two read together, played together...
Suddenly, a shower of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers blew by, and the little boy and girl grew up.
The two of them looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, still in the prime of their youth, with green hair and rosy cheeks, standing hand in hand under the osmanthus tree in the evening.
The flowers are fragrant and the petals are flying.
The young man had fair skin, a delicate temperament, and delicate features. He held the girl's hand and said carefully and seriously, "Sister, the provincial examination will be held in a few days. If I pass this time, I will go to your house to ask Uncle Su and Aunt Su for marriage."
The girl's eyebrows were delicate and gentle. She tilted her head and said, "Brother Cang has studied hard for ten years. He will definitely be on the list."
"However, I hope to see Brother Cang come to my house before the results are announced."
“But the results haven’t been announced yet. How can I know whether I passed the exam or not…” The young man frowned slightly.
The girl laughed and said, "I don't care about that. I heard that some people take the exam until they are 70 or 80 years old. I don't want to wait until I am 70 or 80 years old."
The young man's brows relaxed, his eyes were filled with smiles, and the two of them just looked at each other with smiles, pure and beautiful.
Su Wanti also smiled, but there were tears in her eyes. She remembered that this was the last time she saw Brother Cang.
From then on, she never saw him again, and there was no trace of him in her memory.
Su Wanti was so sad that her heart ached. She pressed her chest, and suddenly the world spun around, with sand and rocks flying everywhere. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself back in the backyard of the Su residence.
In the early morning, the sun shines in the yard. The autumn sun is clear and clean, with a slightly cool breath.
There was a bloody smell lingering in this small courtyard.
The scene before my eyes gradually became clearer, and the sounds in my ears also became clearer.
"Beat her! Beat her hard! Beat this unfilial daughter who disregards the reputation of the Su family to death!" Su's father's face was gloomy and he was furious. He pointed at Su Wanti and shouted loudly.
"I ordered you locked up last night because I was afraid you would go and meet that Jiang guy secretly. I didn't expect you to sneak out anyway, bringing all this money and food with you. Are you going to give it to Jiang Cang?"
"Do you know what crime the Jiang family committed? They are suspected of treason!"
"Others don't even have time to hide, and you actually take the initiative to approach? If you implicate our Su family, I will beat you to death!"
The girl lay on the ground, her face pale and her body covered in blood. She could barely lift her head and was breathing weakly. "Brother Cang was exiled thousands of miles away. I, I just wanted to see Brother Cang one last time..."
Father Su was furious. "You still don't repent, keep beating me!"
The servant raised the board and was about to strike.
"Master, please show some mercy. If you continue beating me, I'll be dead."
An elegant and beautiful woman suddenly rushed up, protected Su Wanti, and said to Su's father with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Madam Su coming, the servants did not dare to attack again, but Su's father was still furious. He snatched the board from the servant's hand and wanted to teach his daughter a lesson himself.
"You evil beast, I must teach you what pain is, so you'll remember this lesson!"
Su's mother was eager to protect her daughter. When she saw Su's father raising the board to hit her, she rushed over regardless of everything. Unexpectedly, the board in Su's father's hand fell and hit Su's mother directly on the head.
This time, he was angry and used all his strength. Su's mother's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"lady!"
"Mother!"
In the chaos, Su Wanti also fainted.
"Mother, it turns out that you were injured while saving me..." Su Wanti's heart ached so much that tears rolled down her cheeks.
Her eyes suddenly went dark, then slowly brightened. On a cold ice field, a group of people in tattered clothes were walking against the cold wind.
After seeing the group of people clearly, Su Wanti's eyes suddenly widened. These were members of the Jiang family, and Jiang Cang was in the middle of the group.
People fell one by one, Jiang's father, Jiang's mother, Jiang's uncles...
In the end, Jiang Cang was the only one left.
He was no longer the frail and handsome man he used to be. He was now covered in scars and skinny.
He looked at his fallen family members with despair in his eyes, then he pursed his lips and jumped into the dark river without hesitation, disappearing without a trace.
"No!" Su Wanti covered her chest and shouted, but it was no use.
