Subconsciously, Su Ruyi was completely unaware that she was caressing the ring while thinking about going back, and in an instant she was back in that world!
At the same time, they also took Ai Ganbei, who was supporting her, back with them!
The moment she returned, she saw her parents' heads being chopped off by the enemy.
Bright red liquid gushed high into the air.
At the same time, an enemy spotted her and pounced on her.
Her butler, who is also her lover Xiao Yao, is rushing towards her to shield her from the enemy's blade.
However, the moment Xiao Yao lunged at her, Su Ruyi, in her nervousness, unintentionally turned the ring again, and Xiao Yao vanished instantly!
Ai Ganbei suddenly found himself in a strange world. People were wearing unfamiliar clothes and speaking unfamiliar languages, which made him tense up instantly!
The next second, he found himself in the midst of a massacre!
A one-sided massacre, and the targets of the massacre were the girl's own family.
The girl cried out loudly, "Father! Mother!"
He was hoarse and exhausted.
There was no time to think about why he and the girl had suddenly come from the Old Pig Forest to this strange world. Ai Ganbei picked up a knife from the ground and was about to join the battle.
At that moment, another knife slashed at Su Ruyi.
Ai Ganbei lunged forward with the knife in hand, blocking it, and at the same time, he pulled Su Ruyi's arm—the ring on her finger unintentionally started to turn again.
At that very moment, Su Ruyi's cousin, Zhong Su, also rushed over, grabbed Su Ruyi's other hand, and tried to pull her away from the attack.
In an instant, Ai Ganbei, Su Ruyi, and Zhong Su all disappeared.
When Xiao Yao, Su Ruyi, and Zhong Su woke up again, they found themselves in Su Ruyi's space, which was Huichun Hall.
That Huichuntang was originally a clinic that Su Ruyi opened in her original world.
However, for some reason, this clinic has been separated from that world and has become a hiding place in the void.
Of course, Su Ruyi's clinic only has one floor. Where did the boudoir and study on the second floor come from?
Su Ruyi felt that she could vaguely recall it, but it was all just a hazy, indistinct memory.
Only Su Ruyi, Xiao Yao, and Zhong Su entered the clinic at that time; Ai Ganbei was nowhere to be found.
Su Ruyi was immersed in endless grief for a very long time.
Having experienced the shift in time and space, she forgot many things, but she remembered the great hatred for her parents.
But Ai Ganbei was completely forgotten by her.
Looking at Ai Ganbei before me, and remembering how he lunged at me with a knife to protect me—we were just strangers I'd met by chance…
Su Ruyi's eyes filled with tears: "Uncle..."
Ai Ganbei's heart skipped a beat: "My Wenxing, is he... is he alright? Girl, do you know something?"
Su Ruyi was in tears: "Uncle, I don't know how to tell you. You... are probably... already dead..."
Ai Ganbei paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "So I really am dead? It seems I haven't gone mad, I'm just dead. Girl, are you dead too? Is this the afterlife?"
Su Ruyi shook her head: "Uncle, what I'm about to say might be a little hard for you to accept. Can I explain it slowly?"
Ai Ganbei nodded.
Su Ruyi slowly began to speak: "This year is 1975."
Ai Ganbei asked, somewhat puzzled, "The Republic of China... 1975? That's already... two thousand years ago?"
"No, no, no, it's been 45 years. Uncle, we met in 1930, which is the 19th year of the Republic of China. After you sent me back, you never came back."
Ai Ganbei frowned and said:
"The only thing I remember doing before I came to this white fog was pulling you along to dodge a knife that someone was about to slash at you."
However, they were suddenly pulled here by a tremendous force!
This white fog seems to stretch on forever; this place is incredibly strange!
I won't feel thirsty or hungry here, and I don't even need to sleep!
There is no one else here, and nothing else here!
I don't know exactly how much time has passed, but now you're telling me it's 45 years, so my feelings should be about the same.
I'm not crazy, thank goodness!
Girl, where did you come from this time?
Is my Wenxing alright?
How are my wife and my youngest son, Wendou, doing?
Su Ruyi didn't know how to answer these questions.
She was silent for a moment before speaking with difficulty: "Your eldest son, Ai Wenxing, is already... 63 years old this year. As for your wife and youngest son... I think you should hear it from your eldest son when you meet him."
Ai Ganbei nodded: "Yes, girl, I understand—they're all dead, aren't they?"
Su Ruyi couldn't bear to lie to him either:
"Let me start from the beginning—after Evans took the ring that day, he exchanged the contents of it for gold and silver."
Your wife rented a house in town so that both of your sons could go to school.
Later, the war became more severe, and your eldest son, Ai Wenxing, joined the army. He first served in the army of the Young Marshal, and later revolted and joined the People's Army. After liberation, he transferred to local government and is now a highly respected leader.
Your youngest son works as an assistant to a senior reporter at a progressive newspaper.
Later... he took a bullet for that famous reporter and died... just before dawn.
Qi Yasheng told Su Ruyi the story of Ai Wendou all the way in the car.
He said this was a sore spot for Ivan, and it was best not to mention it.
Upon hearing this, Ai Ganbei squatted down and covered his face.
"I know, I actually know."
I just—don't want to believe it.
In this white fog, I sometimes drift off to sleep.
Back then, I would always walk onto a road covered in yellow sand, and I would see my wife leading Wendou, the two of them waving at me desperately!
I wanted to go there, but the endless yellow sand and the wind that blew like knives made it impossible for me to move an inch.
I rarely fall asleep and rarely dream, but when I do fall asleep and dream, it's always this kind of scene!
But I have never dreamed of Wenxing.
As expected... as expected.
"Girl, when will I be able to meet Wenxing?"
Su Ruyi pondered for a moment: "I feel that our meeting here must be in my dream."
If you were to see Evan Star, it would surely be in a dream.
Right now, where my physical body is, there is a Taoist priest with extremely high magical power. I will plead with him to allow you to meet with Aivenxing. What do you think of this?
Ai Ganbei exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful, girl! That's wonderful!"
Su Ruyi looked away, unable to bear looking at him: "Uncle, you...don't you hold a grudge against me?"
