Chapter 17 Recovering Memory
After successfully cultivating to the third level, An Ran became more confident about this trip to Hai City. The third level of Qi Refining is not yet the beginning of the path of cultivation. But in this era of spiritual scarcity, they are already rare.
An Ran believed that since she had the incredible luck to obtain the space, she could embark on the path of cultivation. Then there must be something unknown in this world, and she never looks down on anyone.
Now she can only keep a low profile until she grows into someone that no one can afford to offend. So she has to work harder.
In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn.
From the yard again came the chirping of chickens, the clinking of pots and pans, and the quiet conversation of parents. Like a symphony, it outlines the warm atmosphere of human life.
An Ran simply packed a few pieces of clothing into her backpack and left the room.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to Hai City today. Let's settle things as soon as possible so that we don't have to worry about it."
Lin Qingwan came out of the kitchen in a hurry with a spatula in hand.
"Are you leaving now? Have breakfast first."
"No, Mom! I have to go to Mingcheng to catch a plane."
"Kid, be careful on the road. Call mom and dad to let them know you're safe, okay?"
Lin Qingwan's eyes turned slightly red as she looked at her daughter reluctantly.
"Nannan, Dad will take you to town."
An Guodong walked over and reached out to take the backpack from An Ran's hand.
"Dad, you don't have to send me off. I can walk fast and I'll be there in no time. You stay at home with mom and wait for your daughter to come back after making a lot of money."
An Ran gave him a playful smile, then turned and quickly walked out of the yard.
The couple watched Anran leave, their hearts filled with reluctance.
......
In the high-end suite of the best business hotel in Yuncheng.
Lin Huaizhi helped Mr. Lin sit down on the sofa.
"Grandpa, we have been searching in all the towns and villages in Yuncheng for several days. I think this is another misunderstanding."
Mr. Lin sighed slowly.
"Hey, it's been twenty years. I don't know if your aunt is still alive. If she is still alive, why didn't she contact us and come home?"
Lin Huaizhi poured a cup of tea and brought it to Old Man Lin, comforting him softly.
"Grandpa, I believe that my aunt will be safe and sound. We will find her one day."
"Why......."
Old Master Lin sighed again and said, "I don't know if I can see your aunt again in my lifetime. Your grandmother's health is getting worse. Although she doesn't say anything normally, she often calls your aunt's name in her dreams at night."
He carefully took out a photo from his pocket. It showed him and his wife with their son and daughter. The boy was handsome and the girl was pretty. He slowly stroked the girl in the photo with his hand, his face filled with heartache and loneliness.
"It's all because of that heartless guy."
Lin Huaizhi sat down next to the old man, tilted his head to look at the photo in his hand, and something seemed to flash through his mind.
He drank his tea silently and breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh..."
He was very tired after driving around day and night these days. But in order to help grandpa find his aunt, he didn't mind the hardship or fatigue, he was just worried that grandpa's body couldn't take it.
Neither the grandfather nor the grandson spoke any more, each thinking about his own thoughts in silence.
"Oh, I remember now."
In the silence, Lin Huaizhi suddenly shouted. The old man, who was immersed in his memories, was startled and looked at him with displeasure.
He didn't explain, but took the photo from the old man and looked at it carefully again and again, with an excited look on his face.
In the eyes of his elders, Lin Huaizhi has always been a sensible and steady type. The old man has never seen his grandson look so happy.
"Grandpa, do you remember that I almost hit a girl while driving yesterday afternoon?"
"I remember that you got off the car and talked to the girl for a few words."
The old man nodded: "Is there anything wrong with that little girl?"
"Grandpa, look, look."
Lin Huaizhi excitedly took the photo and put it in front of the old man.
"At the time, I just thought that the girl looked very familiar. Now when I see the photo of my grandmother when she was young, I remember that the girl's eyes are very much like my grandmother's, and even their appearance is somewhat similar."
"Grandpa, didn't you say that my aunt was pregnant when she disappeared? Is it possible that this is my aunt's child?"
"really?"
The old man's eyes widened instantly and he looked at him in disbelief.
"That's possible." Lin Huaizhi nodded heavily.
"Pa" the old man slapped him on the head.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The old man was extremely anxious and finally got a clue about his daughter. He has spent the past twenty years in regret and pain. My daughter has been well-behaved and sensible since she was young, and she has grown up to be outstanding in appearance, gentle and elegant. The only shortcoming is that his personality is too gentle. If it weren't for the fact that...
He couldn't even imagine how his delicate daughter had survived the past twenty years. He must have suffered a lot and endured a lot of pain.
"Grandpa, I didn't think too much about it at the time. After all, the girl was so young, I didn't even think about my aunt."
"Let's go find her now."
The old man stood up from the sofa, grabbed his clothes and put them on, ready to go out.
Lin Huaizhi quickly supported the old man: "Grandpa, where can we find it at this time of night? There is nowhere to ask. You should have a good rest tonight. I will accompany you to look for it early tomorrow morning."
Old Master Lin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. For so many years, as long as there was a glimmer of news about his daughter, he would go looking for her with great hope. However, I always return disappointed.
However, this time, he had a strong feeling that his daughter should be waiting for him not far away. But Huaizhi was right, it was getting late, and he could only be patient and force himself to rest.
Cloud City Hospital.
An Guodong stared at his wife lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, with deep heartache in his eyes.
After An Ran left today, Lin Qingwan, who seemed to be calm, suddenly fainted. He was so frightened that he rushed her to the hospital.
At this time, An Guodong wiped her face carefully with a towel, as if it were a treasure.
Lin Qingwan slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.
"Qingwan, you're awake!"
An Guodong was suddenly extremely happy and finally let go of the worry in his heart.
Lin Qingwan stared upwards blankly and murmured softly.
"Guodong, I remember!"
An Guodong was stunned for a moment, then stood up as if he hadn't heard anything.
"I'll get you some water."
"Guodong, I remember now."
Lin Qingwan's dazed eyes finally focused, and tears flowed down her cheeks into her hair.
"Don't cry."
When An Guodong saw her tears, his heart felt like it was being twisted. But I can't help wanting to escape and dare not face the reality.
He hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"Qingwan, do you remember what happened in the past?
Lin Qingwan remained silent, her tears flowing even more violently.
An Guodong was suddenly at a loss.
"Do you want to go back to find your relatives?"
Her silent tears slowly turned into suppressed sobs, and her good upbringing prevented her from crying in public.
An Guodong seemed to understand something.
"I won't stop you if you want to go back, but can you please leave Ning'er to me?"
After An Guodong said this carefully, he slumped in his chair as if relieved of a heavy burden, and became extremely depressed and decadent.
His face was full of pain and reluctance. When he rescued her, she was in a miserable state, but she was dressed luxuriously and had an elegant temperament. He knew then that she was not someone he could ever desire.
But he couldn't control his heart. You can say he is greedy or selfish. For some people, one look may be a lifetime memory!
Now, she remembered her past. No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't bear to force her to stay and let her waste her life in this village.
In her previous family, there must have been a husband who was a good match for her. For him, a country farmer, having her by his side for more than twenty years was a blessing from God.
He didn't dare to have any more wishful thinking, and he thanked God for letting her accompany him for so many years, which was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life.
"Are you going to send me away?"
Lin Qingwan, who had just recovered from the painful memories of the past, saw An Guodong crying like a child.
