Chapter 60 The corner of the world

"What... is congenitally deficient, unpopular? Can a country be unpopular?"

Fang Weihan asked in a deep voice in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Then how did it establish a country?"

"Dizziness."

Yun Shu slowly threw out three words.

Fang Weihan: "..."

He silently shut up, continued to follow Ji Gang hurriedly, and came to a dilapidated courtyard.

Decaying door latches, a courtyard that is so small that it can only be used for standing cones, a crumbling leaky roof, and bedding that exudes a damp and musty smell...

And the old woman who was dying on the bed and couldn't stop coughing.

Fang Weihan watched all this silently.

"Mother! How are you, Mother?"

Seeing that the old woman was about to get up, Ji Gang rushed over to hold her hand and supported her.

The burly man eight feet tall is like a panic-stricken child at this moment, afraid of losing the most precious thing.

"Baby, cough cough cough..."

As soon as the old woman said a few words, she coughed violently, like a broken bellows that couldn't be pumped.

"I dreamed about your father, he was smiling at me."

The old woman didn't look at her son, but stared at the roof that was seeping with water, her dull eyes were lifeless.

"The other day, I asked him what witch hazel shrimp was."

"He said it was something that the nobles in Changming City ate, and we couldn't afford it."

The old woman's shriveled and wrinkled face slowly stretched out, revealing a reminiscing smile.

"He said that he would make me live a good life...and let me eat this golden hazel shrimp every now and then."

"Later... then he went to serve as a soldier. He said he went to Liaodong, a place so far away..."

"It's been so many years in a blink of an eye, and I don't know, is he still alive?"

"If I'm alive, I probably won't recognize me, cough cough..."

She coughed violently, as if she wanted to spit out the grievances of her life together with the residue of her internal organs.

Ji Gang was anxious, with tears in his eyes and a choked voice.

"Mother, stop talking, lie down, you lie down first."

The water dripped from the roof, making a small crater on the ground.

People always say that a drop of water can wear away a rock.

But in order to penetrate the stone, how many drops of water must be smashed to pieces, evaporated, and finally die in pain?

"Yun Shu, is she still alive?"

"I'm going to find Xiaojin now, is there still time?"

Fang Weihan leaned against the door, quietly watching the scene inside the house, his eyes were a little dry.

"She should be the female worker in charge of processing the ore."

"It's a consumption caused by inhaling too much ocher powder. Her lungs have been eroded to the point where they are almost nothing but hollow shells."

"To cure this disease, you need the "fabrication" ability of Rank [-] of Tiangong. Let alone Xiao Jin, you can't save her even if you find Tianque White Robe."

"She won't survive tonight."

Yun Shu stated calmly.

Ocher, its bright red color, means festive.Because of the high price of ocher, it has become a must-have item for dignitaries to show off their financial resources.

They like to use it as a red paint for a good start.

Fang Weihan couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and left the small and dark room.

"My lord, look at Aunt Ji...is there any help?"

At the base of the wall outside the yard, several young men squatted in the corner decadently. One of them, Liu Lin, stood up and asked nervously.

Facing their expectant eyes, Fang Weihan shook his head.

The light in the eyes of several people dimmed instantly, and Liu Lin who made the sound squatted down again, scratching his scalp.

"Aunt Ji is usually so kind to us, she has never disliked us, and she often gives us food..."

Liu Lin's voice was a little choked up.

"Usually I just see her coughing a bit, and Aunt Ji says it's fine. But why suddenly..."

"She's only forty..."

It was as if a bolt from the blue exploded in Fang Weihan's heart.

"You said...she is only forty? Why..."

Why are you so old?

After all, Fang Weihan didn't say this.

"Do you think it's easy to deal with ocher ore? Float, grind, soak, float, sieve, which one is not exhausting work?"

"It's not surprising that you are doing a terrible job for a low salary, and you are 40 years old."

"After all, if you don't do it, some people will do it. She probably has no choice."

Yun Shu's words stung Fang Weihan's nerves again.

Hearing the intermittent coughing in the room, Fang Weihan fell silent for a while.

"Do you know where there is a place that sells witch hazel shrimp?"

he asked suddenly.

……

Ji Gang sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes were bloodshot.

He grabbed his mother's hand with protruding veins, felt the thick calluses on it, and regret swept over him like a wave.

Why am I going to be a soldier? Why didn't I go back to my mother sooner.

Could things have been different if I had been back sooner?

The man's eyes were dark, and he thought desperately.

"Squeak."

Suddenly, someone pushed open the dilapidated and decayed wooden door.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Gang felt a light pat on his shoulder.

He twisted his gray eyes to look, only to find that Fang Weihan handed him a wooden box emitting a fragrance.

"Witch hazel shrimp."

Fang Weihan compared his lips to him.

Ji Gang was silent for a while, and took the box from Fang Weihan with trembling hands.

"Thank you sir."

With tears in his eyes, Ji Gang said solemnly.

Fang Weihan nodded slightly, and silently exited the room.

"Mother, witch hazel shrimp, you eat..."

Ji Gang gently shook his mother, opened the box, picked up a piece of shrimp meat, and brought it to the woman's mouth.
The old woman opened her eyes weakly, and subconsciously swallowed the shrimp that Ji Gang had picked up.

She has few teeth left, so she can only use her gums to rub against her upper and lower jaws.

"It's delicious, it's delicious."

The old woman swallowed the shrimp with difficulty and sighed contentedly.

"It turns out that golden hazel shrimp tastes like this..."

"Hehe, he really didn't lie to me."

The old woman turned her head slowly and looked at her son.

"Baby, I know you've been...cough, cough, cough!"

Before the old woman could say a few words, she began to cough again.

"Mom, you lie down first, you lie down first!"

Ji Gang seemed to realize something, and said anxiously.

The old woman still held his hand tenaciously

"I know you have always hated your father, but you are still his son after all."

The old woman's dim eyes stared at Ji Gang closely.

"After I die, you can change your surname back to Zhang..."

Ji Gang choked up.

"mother……"

The old woman looked away and stopped looking at him. She rolled her eyes, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

"Are you still alive?"

"Finally, I don't have to suffer any more..."

She stopped breathing slowly.

……

"mother!"

Ji Gang's heart-piercing cries came from inside the house
Liu Lin and the others seemed to realize something too, with sad faces and crying.

Fang Weihan leaned against the courtyard wall, his plain robe was stained.

He turned to look east.

It was still dark, but there was still a golden light like the sun shining on the horizon.

That is the miraculous light of Nangong Taiji Hall, which is also the source of the name of Changming City.

The golden light of Tai Chi never goes out day and night;

This is what Taizu Fang Ganyi said.

It's like farting.

Fang Weihan silently commented.

Some people are born to live in the sun, but some people live in the gutter all their lives, without the chance to see the ever-bright light.

Even if they live in the city.

Fang Weihan lives under the sun, but it is scorching hot.

He closed his eyes weakly.

Yun Shu watched all this silently in his sea of ​​consciousness space.

It seems that I really did not find the wrong person.

This seat has a really good vision.

she thought.
