That day, by chance, I was walking aimlessly in the street with a painted portrait, and an old woman pushing a wheelchair stared blankly at the painting in my hand.

"Mom?" Until she heard her son in the wheelchair calling, "Why don't you leave?"

I also heard this voice, and when I turned my head, I saw the expression of the old woman looking at the painting in my hand.

I knew it, I knew it, I found Li Guosheng's wife and children.

After confirming, we slowly pushed the cart back. On the way, she told me about her and Li Guosheng, and what happened after Li Guosheng left.

The old woman's name was Zheng Xiaofen, and she was a well-known beautiful girl in ten miles and eight villages at that time.

At the age of 17, the country gentry insisted on letting her marry his son.

The squire's son was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and he wanted to marry Aunt Zheng just after seeing her.

In order to marry her, he forced her parents to death, as well as her younger siblings.

How could she marry such a person?
How could a weak woman get over those aunts who have been doing farm work for a long time?
Aunt Zheng was tied to the sedan chair.

When she met Li Guosheng, she was sitting in a sedan chair, and she heard Li Guosheng's voice questioning the squire's son, asking if he had robbed the peasant girl?

"I still remember the majesty of that voice." These were Aunt Zheng's original words.

How could the squire dare to admit that Li Guosheng got excited and said directly that his daughter-in-law fell in love with him and wanted to tie her back to be Mrs. Yazhai.

The squire's son has been hollowed out long ago, and there are only a few entourages and bearers. How can he be an opponent of a tyrannical bandit like Li Guosheng?
He just left the sedan chair and ran away.

Li Guosheng scolded the coward, then lifted the hijab and pulled the cloth out of Aunt Zheng's mouth.

As soon as Aunt Zheng saw her, she started to cry. The beautiful woman with pear blossoms and rain directly confused Li Guosheng without knowing what to do.

"I still remember how stupid he was at that time."

It is said that Aunt Zheng was still crying at first, but seeing how he looked at that time, she suddenly laughed again.

Seeing Aunt Zheng smiling, Li Guosheng also laughed.

The two just saw each other on the sedan chair.

Immediately, they were carried back in a sedan chair and married, and Aunt Zheng became the real Mrs. Yazhai.

After marriage, she returned to her home and moved out the ashes of her parents and younger siblings. She wanted to take revenge on the squire, but when a war broke out, the squire became a target.

It was useless for Li Guosheng to do anything, and the whole family died.

The son was only born in the third year of marriage. At that time, Li Guosheng was so happy that he felt that his son should use the best for everything.

I heard that a thing called milk powder came out of the town, and a caravan happened to pass by.

Li Guosheng originally thought that it would be enough to just grab a few cans to feed his son, but who knew it was a trap.

In this way, Li Guosheng was forced to join the army and fight, and took away a strong and strong brother from the bandit den.

The news of the suppression of the bandit nest spread to the township, and the villagers gathered and began to curse the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village.

Aunt Zheng and her son are even better.

No one was willing to give them food or shelter, and the bandit den couldn't live there, so she had to take her son away.

Li Ergou was young, not even a year old, how could he stand up to such a long-term travel, resulting in malnutrition, suffering from polio, when he was two years old, his legs began to shrink.

Up to now, the whole body can move, only one head remains.

I glanced at him, Li Ergou still covered his whole body with a thin cloth on such a hot day in the wheelchair.

But I can still see that his legs have not developed at all, and the exposed hand is not like a normal person, it is a small one.

When I found out about Li Guosheng's wife and children, I had already sent a text message to Yan Shuyuan, and he asked Du Ai to bring the porcelain out of the temple.

"Little sister, didn't you say that Li Guosheng is here? Where is he?" Aunt Zheng was full of expectations, but seeing that I took her into a farmhouse, there were only a few young people in it.

Li Guosheng was not there at all, and he looked at us with vigilance.

"Li Guosheng is dead." Zhang Wanmo said, "Auntie, why don't you rest for a while? He will arrive at night."

"What? Dead?" Perhaps in Aunt Zheng's heart, Li Guosheng had already died, so when Zhang Wanmo said this, her face remained unmoved. Now that I'm gone, I'm going to take my son to burn paper for Guosheng, and if he burns more, he won't be short of money to spend underground."

"Auntie, he didn't lie to you. Although Li Guosheng is dead, we can still let you see him." I stood in front of Aunt Zheng and said sincerely.

"Son, aren't you sick? What do you mean I can see him even after he's dead? Could it be that you are here to kill us both?"

"No, no." Jiang Ke hurriedly waved his hands aside, "It's such an aunt. We were entrusted by Li Guosheng to find you and let you meet. My friend is a Taoist priest."

"Mom, let's go, they are all liars, they must be bullying when they see us old and disabled."

At this time, Li Ergou, who had been silent in the wheelchair, spoke.

But as soon as he spoke, Aunt Zheng stopped and looked at us carefully, "Sister, is what you said true? Can we see Li Guosheng?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Do you know how many years he was dead?"

"In 36 years, the first two days were the days when he left home to join the army 36 years ago."

"Yes, that's right." Aunt Zheng suddenly sat on the stool next to her, feeling a little emotional, "I didn't expect it to be 36 years."

"Mom, let's go!" Li Ergou became more and more impatient.

"Goofy, I want to stay, stay and see your father."

"They are all lying to you! All charlatans are cheating money!"

"No." Aunt Zheng shook her head. "Look at the clothes of these young people. Why do you need to lie to us? Also, if you can accurately tell the day when your father left home, I will I believe that even if they can't let me see Guosheng, they must have seen Guosheng, come on, sister, tell aunt about Li Guosheng."

How do we know anything about Li Guosheng?
Jiang Ke, who was named, looked at me, smiled awkwardly, stepped forward and took Aunt Zheng's hands, "Auntie, we don't know much about Uncle Li, we just met by chance, and then he has been in the office all the time." Waiting for you in the cave, we thought he was really pitiful, so we offered to help him find you."

"Yadong, I can't go up the current Yadong!"

In order to change the topic as soon as possible, we directly arranged for lunch.

In the afternoon, Du Ai came over with the porcelain.

"Aunt Zheng, Uncle Li, he is in this porcelain."
