C831 So It Was like This
"I have long since forgotten what happened that year! As for the copper bell … What's the point of hiding it? "
His ambiguous words caused Wu Yun's anger to come out of his mouth.
"It means nothing to you? Then have you ever thought of doing this to me … How important is that thing to my grandmother? Without that thing, my grandmother, she … She will never be able to return home! "
She shouted towards Xie Xiaowen, and when Xie Xiaowen heard her words, her cloudy eyes seemed to suddenly light up.
"Go home? That copper bell can let your grandmother go home? What does that mean? How do I get home? Is it … "Did she just go home after a strong gust of wind?"
Obviously, Xie Xiaowen still remembered clearly that day his mother disappeared, it was that copper bell and a gust of wind that took his mother away.
"Your mother … You disappeared when you were eleven, didn't you? "
Wu Yun had already heard from Faang Cheng what he saw. For Xie Xiaowen, she was actually in pain, and all these years, he could still clearly remember the day her mother disappeared. This proved just how great of an impact that event had had had on him. Even now, when he was in her late years, she was still so excited when mentioning this matter!
"You … How do you know? "
Xie Xiaowen looked at Wu Yun in shock. Back then, only she and his father knew about this matter, but right now, his father had already passed away. He should be the only one!
"Don't worry about how I know. I just want you to know that there are many strange things in this world that we cannot explain! And what I want to know the most right now is … That copper bell … "Where did you go?"
Wu Yun asked very directly and she looked at Wu Yun with a strange expression.
"You … You're actually the woman from back then, right? "
He looked at Wu Yun. Although he asked this question, his face was filled with disbelief.
"Since you've already guessed it, there's no need to be so clear about it!"
Wu Yun was a little impatient.
"I only found out through some methods recently that you were the one who hid the copper bell back then, so … You don't need to hide it, nor do you need to lie. I've already determined that the bell is in your hands, quickly take it out. I want to go home, I'm waiting for it to take me home! "
Her voice gradually grew louder, until it finally … Some of them couldn't even control their emotions.
"You're waiting for it to take you home? That thing can take you home? Then … Did he take my mother back to your house … "
Xie Xiaowen's voice was also gradually becoming agitated. He took a step forward, and asked loudly while looking at Wu Yun.
"I don't know. If you don't give me the bronze bell and I can't go home, how would I know where your mother is? If the first time I came to find you, you would hand me the bronze bell and ask me about it. Perhaps … I've already sent your mother back! "
Wu Yun berated Xie Xiaowen loudly, and after hearing what Wu Yun said, Xie Xiaowen was first stunned, then... She covered her face and cried!
"Mommy …"
Seeing his painful expression, Wu Yun couldn't bear to say anything else. She could only let out a long sigh, and then, she turned to look at Faang Cheng.
"He was only a child, and he was frightened! His mother is missing and his father is dead. He has suffered too much! "
The two of them did not speak and only stood there, looking at Xie Xiaowen without saying a word.
After a long while, Xie Xiaowen finally had enough tears, and sat there smoking ….
"Then what about now …"
Wu Yun saw that he had started to speak, and her words were filled with urgency.
"Now... Where is the bell? "
"He's gone …"
Xie Xiaowen shook her head, her eyes were a little empty.
"He's gone? What do you mean missing? "Where did you go?"
Hearing Xie Xiaowen's reply, Wu Yun anxiously grabbed onto his clothes and asked loudly.
"I …" I secretly hid the bell behind my father's back and thought … What if my mother is coming back through that bell? However … This wait … It's more than thirty years! "
Xie Xiaowen replied submissively.
Later …" I also have a son, and his son wants to marry. You all know, Gang City is a place where every inch of land is worth every penny, if you want to marry a wife, you need to have at least a house, but … "Where can I, a laborer, find the money to buy a house for my son …
"So …" So you wanted to ring the bell? "
Wu Yun's eyes widened, she seemed to have the feeling that she was about to brush past the copper bell once again.
"Yes, because when I was young, my father used to do antiques, so I know old things can be worth some money! Therefore … So, I can't do it, so I sold that copper bell! "
Xie Xiaowen lowered her head, and didn't dare look into Wu Yun's eyes.
"Then doesn't the bronze bell still hold your hope of finding your mother?"
Wu Yun asked loudly.
"It's been over 30 years. If it were you, would you still have any hope? At that time, you will feel that it is more important to keep those people by your side. For the sake of my son, I had no choice but to take out the bronze bell! "
Xie Xiaowen was right, if it was anyone else, they would probably do the same, but … This was naturally unfair to Wu Yun!
"Although your father passed away, he should have left you a lot of antiques. Didn't he collect a lot of them before?"
Faang Cheng was a little confused. Logically speaking, the Xie Clan should be a rich family!
"A portion of it sold for money to treat my father's illness, and another portion … It's all given to the cousins who adopted me, to raise me! "
"Raise you?" Don't even mention one of them, you should have at least ten of them, right? When you grow up, you won't even be left behind? "
Faang Cheng asked.
"Everyone is well aware of this, but... How? What do you mean? "Under the influence of others, they feel that it's only right for you to give them as much as you give!"
Xie Xiaowen lowered her head. Clearly, her life could not be considered good when he was young.
"So that copper bell …" Where did you sell it? "
Wu Yun asked. Hearing this question, Xie Xiaowen couldn't help but frown.
"I sold it to the shopkeeper Zhang who bought it from my family's original store. It's just that... That shopkeeper is also dead, that shop … It has also changed hands! "
Xie Xiaowen shook her head.
"That copper bell …" I'm afraid we won't be able to find it! "
After Faang Cheng heard what Xie Xiaowen said, he could not help but be shocked. Wasn't Xie Clan's original shop her same shop? That shopkeeper... Wasn't it just bragging? Xie Xiaowen actually sold the copper bell to him? This... What a coincidence!
"The store has changed owners …"
Wu Yun thought for a while, then thought, the last person to buy this shop... Isn't it just Faang Cheng?
"You?"
She pointed at Faang Cheng, who immediately waved his hand.
"When Zhang Yang left, he didn't give me any copper bells!"
He quickly explained, and the light in Wu Yun's eyes quickly dimmed. Faang Cheng understood … It was the feeling of the flame of hope being extinguished.
"I know …" That's it, I … All my life I have been waiting for my mother to come back. However, at this point, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for her! "
Xie Xiaowen wiped the tears off her face, her murky eyes becoming lifeless.
"It's all my fault. If I had told you the truth back then and passed the copper bell to you, perhaps … Everything was different! You will go back to your home and... Perhaps, you might discover my mother wandering there, and you might really send her back with good intentions. Then, I … I wouldn't be an orphan then. What happened afterwards … "Perhaps it will be completely different …"
Xie Xiaowen truly felt that... It was all her fault!
