Chapter 489 He's dead

It was Jiang Duo, whom Mingzhu was familiar with. It seemed as if she had seen the face in the photo just yesterday.

Her heart seemed to be torn apart by the blood vessels and stopped beating.

The old lady behind her stopped walking and was silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "I didn't want to make you feel bad, but since you saw it, I won't hide it. He's gone, and you... can't find him, so just leave with your family and don't come back."

Mingzhu still didn't move.

The old lady didn't move either.

The two sides were deadlocked for ten minutes, and the old lady finally spoke again: "I really have something else to do. You already know everything you need to know. Let's go."

"When did he leave?"

The old lady was silent for a long time before she said: "Not long ago."

"Can I go in and pay my respects?"

The old lady's eyes were red: "It's not necessary."

"After paying my respects, I will leave without any distractions."

"I'm sorry, I don't like others entering my room."

Mingzhu laughed at herself: "Is it really your room?"

She turned her head to look at the old lady, and the expression on her face seemed to have completely shattered the moment she saw the photo. "It's been more than 40 years, and this place is still the same as when I left a few days ago. Are you reminiscing about Jiang Duo, or is this the style you like?"

The old lady frowned and urged: "Don't say anything, and don't think about it anymore, Mingzhu, go!"

"Why can't I think about it? What are you hiding? Or, why do you keep urging me to leave? I don't feel your ill intentions, so..."

The old lady was a little upset, "Stop guessing! Mingzhu, can you... listen to someone's advice for once?"

For a moment, Mingzhu's bold guess seemed to be fulfilled: "So you have come to this point today because you didn't listen to advice? Is your name... also Mingzhu?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment.

Mingzhu walked up to the old lady firmly and took off her mask.

Sure enough, the face in front of her should be what she looks like in her old age?

"It's really you, no, it should be me."

The old lady laughed helplessly: "History is always amazingly similar. I should be the one who knows you best, but now... because of this understanding, I have become the one who can't stop you the most."

Mingzhu was actually almost deceived, but after entering the courtyard and seeing the unchanged furnishings, she suddenly became suspicious.

Because she just remembered that Jiang Duo in her dream was crying and asking her when he would come back...

So, the original owner's body is not dead, but her soul has left.

And at this moment, I met Mingzhu from another timeline. That Mingzhu successfully returned to the original owner's body and lived until now along the traces of time.

How unbearable!

Mingzhu turned her head to look at the serious photo of Jiang Duo in the living room through the glass, her eyes were bloodshot: "You just said that history is always surprisingly similar. What does that mean? Have you ever... experienced the confrontation between you and me today? Can you tell me what happened? How did you get back? I want to see Jiang Duo. I miss him so much that I'm going crazy."

The old lady nodded: "Yes, there was a scene like this more than 40 years ago in my timeline. I have experienced it before. At that time... I sneaked out while my eldest brother was not paying attention and found this place. My second brother had no choice but to help me find Mingzhu, who was old at that time.

At that time, after the old lady saw me, she tried every means to make me let go of Jiang Duo and let me leave, but I was too stubborn. I didn't believe that Jiang Duo would betray me. I also... missed Jiang Duo and the children too much, so I didn't listen to her advice and spared no effort to find a way to go back, and then... I was left with an empty life. "

The old lady's eyes were also misty.

Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat. An empty... life?

She looked at Jiang Duo in the photo again. Jiang Duo still looked the same as he did more than 40 years ago. He didn't like taking pictures, but it wasn't to the point that he didn't leave any photos for more than 40 years. Why did he use this photo as a posthumous photo? Could it be because...

Her heart was pulled so hard that it hurt, and her voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "He didn't die in recent years, but... a long time ago? What happened?"

The old lady sighed and finally opened the fingerprint lock of the living room.

After the two entered the house, she came to Jiang Duo's portrait, burned incense, and then walked to the couch and sat down.

Because the place where the old lady sat was where Mingzhu was most used to sitting, she walked to the other side of the couch, which was where Jiang Duo sat most often.

The old lady looked at Jiang Duo in the portrait and said, "Jiang Duo died in the autumn of 1981."

Mingzhu's heart sank. 1981? Then Jiang Duo was only... 32 years old?

"How could it be?"

The old lady sighed: "I already knew about this before I went back. That's why I tried my best to go back. I wanted to change Jiang Duo's fate, prevent his death, spend my life with him, and realize my dream of walking through the long river of time with him and seeing the prosperous times today, but..."

The old lady shed tears: "I tried my best to be cautious, but I was still like the old pearl in my previous timeline... I failed. She lost her Jiang Duo, and I lost mine. Jiang Duo, we each spent our lives lonely in our own timelines.

Mingzhu, that was really too painful, so I don’t want you to repeat the same mistakes. You can’t change the ending. We have made a mistake and don’t want you to make any more mistakes. Leave here with your parents and older brothers and start over."

Mingzhu looked at the old lady and asked back, "Then, in my timeline, will I spend my whole life regretting why I didn’t save Jiang Duo when I knew he would get into trouble?"

"You couldn’t save him..."

Mingzhu was silent for a long time and asked, "Have you regretted it?"

"What?"

"I said, did you regret it after you went back?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, because at this moment, she had many different conversations with the previous timeline.

At that time, the old lady insisted on not telling me the method. I was even a little hysterical towards her, questioning why she treated me like this. She said that her failure didn't mean I would fail too, and I had to go back. In the end, the old lady could only tell me some of the things she knew.

In comparison, Mingzhu in front of her seemed much calmer than she was at that time.

Mingzhu shook her head at her: "You have no regrets, but you have been repenting why you failed to save him. Even if you do it again, you will still make the same decision, so... why stop me? You can't stop me."

"You must go back?"

Mingzhu nodded: "I will try my best to save Jiang Duo, even if... even if I really fail, I will definitely tell another self one day in my old age to save him, and I must save him!"
