Chapter 207
Li County, a small town located in the south of the Xia Kingdom, is ordinary and simple.For the people of Li County, the name that makes them proud every time they are mentioned is that girl standing on the dazzling stage, Ou Shinan.

In an ordinary town like Li County, the biggest person ever to come out is just such a small star.I remember that when the girl became famous after participating in the competition, some reporters came here specially to interview about the girl's past and learn about Ou Shinan's past.After that trend passed, the reporters never came again, and the girl who became more and more dazzling never returned to this city.

In the alley where Ou Shinan used to live, the small house has changed owners, and the neighbors in the neighborhood are still living an ordinary life. Only occasionally, when a girl's face appears on TV, they say that the girl used to be theirs. Neighbors, just haven't been back for many years.

As time goes by, memories always glow with kindness in people's minds. People forget the indifference to Ou Shinan and her mother's abuse. , and the people who felt guilty gradually disappeared as Ou Shinan became more and more famous.

Five years passed by in a hurry, and Ou Shinan came back to this place that hardly left much impression on Ou Shinan.Quietly, with Geng Maidong and Ye Zi, walking on the street she once walked, taking off the sunglasses that always cover most of her face, in such an autumn, Ou Shinan once again returned to the place where she started in this world.

It seems that I went back to five years ago, struggling to commit suicide, but ended up in such a strange and familiar environment, with a tyrannical father, a battered mother, my scarred body and a heart full of holes. Thinking about it now, no I know at that time, how I made up my mind to live a good life, but I just held my breath and made it to the present.

Walking through the dilapidated alley and coming to a small bungalow, Ou Shinan stopped, and Geng Maidong and Ye Zi, who followed her, also stopped.The surrounding environment is a bit dilapidated, and the air is filled with the smell of decay. Neither Geng Maidong nor Ye Zi understands why Ou Shinan came here.

"Five years, how time flies!" Ou Shinan suddenly said with emotion, "Sister Mai, Ye Zi, do you know that before participating in the competition in our district, I lived here for a year."

"Here?" Geng Maidong and Ye Zi couldn't believe it. The well-dressed girl in front of them, they had seen her living in a nice villa, wearing expensive clothes and expensive jewelry, she smiled sweetly, like a born noble girl , so naturally.However, this girl told them that she used to live in such a place. Even though she knew she had been abused, it was always like words in newspapers or magazines without emotion and pictures, although it would make people feel distressed and moved. , but it is far less shocking to see it with one's own eyes.

"Here, why, don't you believe me?" Ou Shinan nodded with a smile. Back then, she sold her house and sent her mother to the hospital for treatment. Her own body also needed to recuperate. To save money, she rented a house like this Place, spend all the money on your own recuperation and recovery.It is here that she takes a dictionary and flips through one by one, studying, learning to read and write. Going out of this alley, there is a high school not far away, and there is a relatively large bookstore nearby. She goes there every day to read and absorb this. Knowledge of time and space.

"Since this is the case, why refuse other people's donations?" Ye Zi was very puzzled, she knew that Ou Shinan had rejected other people's aid back then.

Looking back at the girl's puzzled face, Ou Shinan smiled and said, "Because I didn't want to lose my strength to fight, I was really weak at that time. If I accepted help from others, I was afraid that I would lose the strength to stand up, man, You can’t rely on others for a lifetime, you have to work hard to stand up by yourself. No matter how hard it is, you want to get up by yourself, which is to give yourself the motivation to struggle, because you have to live!”

With just a few simple words, Geng Maidong looked at the house and seemed to be able to imagine the stubborn girl a few years ago, covered in scars and pain, making up her mind in a small room and working hard alone.It has been more than five years since her debut. Ou Shinan never mentions in front of fans and the public how hard she has been through. She always smiles and thanks others for their support, saying that she is happy because so many people like her. She has never Live so gratefully.Because she never mentioned it, fans also gradually stopped talking about her past, so those pasts became simple words, and it was only at this time that Ou Shinan's difficulties were faintly revealed.

"Come and see, this place is still the same as it used to be. I don't know if the landlady is still here. Let's go in and see the truth!" Ou Shinan didn't continue the topic just now, but smiled and said, "At the beginning, the landlady told me that we couldn't Cooking in the room, I also secretly bought an alcohol stove to cook noodles for myself, but when I was eating, I accidentally got it on the wall, so I secretly used a piece of wrapping paper to paste I don't know if the landlady found out after I checked out and left." Thinking of the funny things in the past, Ou Shinan's tone changed a lot.

Just as Ou Shinan finished speaking, the door of the bungalow opened with a "squeak" and a middle-aged woman came out. Maybe she didn't expect that there was someone standing at the door. She froze for a moment, then looked at Ou Shinan's face, I just remembered something like "Hey, Xiao Nan, are you back?"

"Yes, Auntie, I'm back. I haven't seen you for many years, and you're still so young!" Ou Shinan said with a happy smile on her face.

"You little mouth, you're still so good at talking!" The landlady's wife was cheerful when Ou Shinan said, "Why are you back? Now you are a big star. You often appear in newspapers and go abroad to walk red carpets. Amazing!"

"Auntie, you also watch entertainment news!" Ou Shinan came back and met acquaintances, and exchanged pleasantries.

"Look, why don't you watch it? You always appear on TV. Your uncle and I both said that it's like a dream that our family lived in a big star like you." The landlady said exaggeratedly.

"Well, when I lived here before, thanks to you and my uncle taking care of me!" Ou Shinan's words made the landlady a little embarrassed. Because Ou Shinan was a child back then, the attitude of their husband and wife was indeed not very good, but they never changed. Do something excessive.

Hearing what Ou Shinan said, the landlady was silent for a while, feeling that she had nothing to say, she said some polite words, and left in a hurry.

As for Ou Shinan and the others, they left this small alley and went to the bookstore where Ou Shinan studied. The owner of the bookstore has not changed, but there are a few wrinkles on his face. The children who had just entered elementary school before are now about to go to high school. graduated.

When the boss saw Ou Shinan, he couldn't believe it for a moment, and then he realized that the girl who used to come over to read books and was often kicked out by her came back after becoming a big star.

"Boss, I'm back. I won't read the books this time. I'll buy them!" Ou Shinan said to the boss with a smile.Then enter the bookstore, choose basic novels and fairy tales, and come to check out.

After paying, Ye Zi hurriedly put away the books, and the boss looked at them cheerfully, "You girl, you left as soon as you said, and you came to report every day for a year, and I got used to kicking you out, but suddenly you don't come, I'm not used to it yet!"

"Haha, after I went to the capital, I often think of the days when I read books here! Does the boss still have such children?" Ou Shinan looked inside the bookstore.

"We're not kicking out now, who knows if there will be another big star!" The boss smiled.

After chatting with the bookstore owner for a while, and leaving a signed photo for the owner, Ou Shinan left here.

"Let's go, there is a place, I have to go back and look today. It's the last place!" Ou Shinan's tone was a little different, and the emotions in his eyes were also complicated.

Walk on the familiar bluestone road again, and come to the vermilion gate.It was already a sunset outside, and the bright colors reflected the vermilion gate, which was heavy and solemn.

"Is this your home?" Geng Maidong vaguely remembered that Ou Shinan once mentioned that her previous home had a vermilion door.

Ou Shinan nodded, "Well, my former home!" After the scorching pain, she was reborn in it. In order to change her fate, after being beaten, she staggered out of the alley to ask for help.Here, her father in this body was imprisoned, and in that year, she left this house alone with her mother. Once she left, it was nearly six years. After so many years, that person was tortured here again The woman has passed away.

Looking back at the colorful clouds in the sky, I remembered the dream at that time, the warm dialogue and figure of the mother and daughter waiting for their relatives to come home in the dream.

Geng Maidong and Ye Zi looked at Ou Shinan quietly, unable to say a word, because at this moment, Ou Shinan looked so far away from them, as if he was not a person in this world.

"Xiao Nan!" In the end, Geng Maidong couldn't stand the silent atmosphere, and like Ou Shinan who was so different from the past, he broke the silence, "It's getting late, we've been walking for a day, it's time to go back and have a rest!"

The thoughts were drawn from the memory, the sunset glow was gorgeous in Ou Shinan's eyes, Ou Shinan's eyes slowly recovered, and then smiled and said to Geng Maidong and Ye Zi, "I didn't expect to walk around casually, it's so late, you can Let's go back, I'm hungry!"

Although he also felt a strange atmosphere at that moment just now, the young Ye Zi recovered quickly, and when he heard Ou Shinan say that he was hungry, he also held his stomach, "Well, I'm hungry too, let's go eat!"

Ou Shinan was alone in front, leading Ye Zi and Geng Maidong out of the alley slowly, step by step, ignoring the passers-by, Ou Shinan's steps were steady, as if walking out of his previous life, saying goodbye to the past.
