Chapter 107: Jade Bracelet Across Centuries
【Coming back from the adventure blogger next door, I hate that I don’t have two mobile phones. 】
【Come back together, what happened here? 】
[Come on, let me explain to the sisters who just returned. Shortly after the old lady fainted, Xuan Yue kicked Ma Shan out. And then not long after, many police officers arrived.]
The police are conducting ideological work on these converts.
[So that's how it is. Why isn't Xuan Yue talking? ]
Just wait.
Only one person was left behind by Shen Wangshu.
He was an old man in tattered clothes.
The rest were all taken away by the police.
The old man took out a plastic bag tremblingly.
[This reminds me of my grandmother, who also used plastic bags to carry money.]
[My grandfather too. I've bought the ticket and plan to go back to my hometown to see him tomorrow.]
[No way? Xuan Yue already has so much money, why would she still need an old man's money?]
[The above is none of your business. No matter how much money you make, it's all earned by Xuan Yue's own ability.]
The plastic bag was filled with small change and a piece of high-quality cloth.
The fabric and the small change were incompatible.
When the cloth was opened, there was a jade bracelet inside that was in excellent condition and very well preserved.
The old man trembled as he handed the jade bracelet to Shen Wangshu: "I want to return this jade bracelet to its owner."
Shen Wangshu reached out and took it: “Okay.”
The old man showed a satisfied smile, which made the wrinkles on his face more prominent.
Shen Wangshu looked at the jade bracelet and said, “You have done a lot of good things in your life and accumulated a lot of merit. You will be rewarded.”
The old man nodded, tears falling from his eyes: "Okay, okay, then I feel relieved."
After the old man left, Shen Wangshu said to the live broadcast room: “Those watching my live broadcast room who were once sponsored by a kind-hearted person named Zhilan, go to the old man’s school to see him off.”
[Holy shit, holy shit, this tattered person is Zhilan?]
[Oh my god, I thought he was a garbage collector with a hard life, but I didn't expect him to be the one who supports Zhilan with tens of millions of dollars every year!]
[This old man often picks up cardboard downstairs from my house. How can he still donate tens of millions? ]
He just retired and started picking up cardboard. He is also my teacher. He developed a targeted drug.
Shen Wangshu waved to the live broadcast room: “The following scenes are not suitable for display, bye.”
[No? That's it? I haven't seen enough yet.]
[Wow, wow, wow, I beg Xuan Yue to live stream all day.]
[User dfwjifhg: Dreaming.]
[This new account again, what do you care if I'm dreaming or not? If Xuan Yue hears my wish, I'll really live stream all day.]
[I also think you're dreaming. When has Xuan Yue's live broadcast lasted more than half an hour?]
[It felt like I had finished solving the problem and was about to go off the air.]
After the old man was sent back, he changed himself into a neat set of clothes.
She also combed her hair neatly.
He lay down on the bed, placed his hands on his abdomen, and closed his eyes forever.
He has sponsored many students, most of whom have become elites in society.
There are also some people who live ordinary lives.
But without his funding, some people might not even be able to live a normal life.
When sorting out the remains, the old man's student, who had been sponsored by him, found a diary.
There are several old black and white photos in the diary.
There is a female student with pigtails and wearing Republican-era style clothes.
She held a few books in her hands and wore a jade bracelet on her slender wrist.
The color of the jade bracelet cannot be seen in the black and white photo.
But they all knew that this jade bracelet was the one that the old man gave to Xuan Yue.
There is another photo in which there is a dirty child next to the girl.
The child looked like he was covered in thorns, glaring at the camera.
The old man's handwriting is vigorous and powerful.
He wrote:
I was only seven years old at the time and was so hungry that I stole the first money in my life.
It's hers.
Because she looks rich.
She caught me and said that if it happened again, she would send me to the police station.
-
Once again, I was about to steal something on the street and she caught me red-handed.
She gave me a small copper coin and asked me to run an errand.
I didn't run errands, I snatched her purse again.
It turned out that there were no copper coins inside, only a piece of paper with incomprehensible words.
Later I learned that it was the Sherlock Holmes code, meant to be sent to the intelligence organization.
Fortunately, before she was caught on the street, I was so hungry that I ate the paper.
-
She said she had been looking for me for a long time and took our first photo together.
She said she wanted to teach me to read, but I didn't understand anything.
But for the sake of the meat buns, I'm willing to pretend to study.
She doesn't know that every time I see her hands writing or drawing in front of me, I want to snatch the bracelet from her hand.
I've seen this bracelet in the newspaper. It's very expensive and can be sold for a lot of money.
-
She said I was very good, and I suddenly felt that I was very good too because I could read so many words.
I learned her name, Zhilan.
I also understood the report in the newspaper, which said that a certain place had been invaded by something.
She became very busy and had no time to teach me new words.
-
People in the city began to panic and prepared to flee with their families.
Zhilan also cut off her long hair and put her beautiful clothes in the bottom of the closet.
She didn't dress up anymore. She said she was going to the front line where many people were injured.
I was about nine years old at that time.
I was very proud because I finally stole the jade bracelet I had been longing for.
I stayed with her just for this jade bracelet.
With this jade bracelet, I can sell it for a lot of money and never go hungry again.
-
There are many planes in the sky.
They threw things on the ground.
It fell to the ground and everything was blown to pieces.
They said that those rich people had already paid and fled on planes.
They are left here because they have no money.
I fled with them.
Some people cried, some ran, and some cursed.
I was alone, with the jade bracelet in my arms, wondering if Zhilan had escaped.
-
Zhilan is dead.
I thought: If I hadn't stolen her jade bracelet, she could have escaped on that flying thing.
I regret it very much.
-
Too much time has passed.
I am also 98 years old.
I have forgotten many things about Zhilan.
I only remember that the meat buns she gave me were delicious and the best food I have ever eaten in my life.
I have always wanted to return the jade bracelet to her.
I don’t know if there will be another chance.
While picking up trash, I heard them say that there was a guy named Xuan Yue who was very popular and could see ghosts.
I'll try. If possible, I want to return Zhilan's jade bracelet to her.
