Chapter 871 This is my lover
After more than twenty minutes, the taxi arrived at the destination.
Duan Mingjie got off the car carrying Grandma Yue on his back.
Lu Yao paid the money and followed Duan Mingjie.
Grandma Yue looked around and finally fixed her eyes on a birch tree. She patted Duan Mingjie on the shoulder and said, "Little Duan, go there."
Duan Mingjie: "Okay."
Duan Mingjie carried her on his back and walked in the direction she pointed.
Lu Yao trotted to catch up.
Duan Mingjie squatted down, and Lu Yao helped Grandma Yue down, and the two of them took care of her until she sat down.
Grandma Yue looked at the endless prairie, turned her head and smiled at Lu Yao, "Yaoyao, it's beautiful here, isn't it?"
Lu Yao: "It looks nice and spacious."
Grandma Yue glanced at the birch tree next to her. After decades, she didn't know if it was still the same tree.
"Xiao Duan, go over there and dig a one-foot hole on the left side of this tree and see if there is anything underneath."
Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao looked at each other, and both noticed that something was wrong with Grandma Yue.
She spoke much more fluently.
I feel much better now.
She seemed to be in even better spirits than when they first met her.
Is this a last hurrah?
Lu Yao's heart sank little by little.
Duan Mingjie stood up, picked up a stick and started digging nearby.
Grandma Yue kept watching, and Lu Yao looked at her. She saw desire in Grandma Yue's eyes.
She began to worry, if Duan Mingjie didn’t dig out anything, would Grandma Yue be disappointed?
Suddenly, Duan Mingjie stopped.
He bent down, reached in, and pulled out a box covered with a red cloth.
Lu Yao looked at it from below and it looked like a black box.
When I went to see Grandma Yue again, I found that she was already in tears.
Lu Yao stared at her blankly. At this moment, she felt that Grandma Yue did not need comfort.
Duan Mingjie came over with the box in both hands.
Grandma Yue stretched out her hand and Duan Mingjie handed the box to her.
After taking the box, Grandma Yue hugged it tightly in her arms.
Lu Yao frowned, "Grandma Yue, what is this?"
"This is my lover."
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie were both shocked. Besides being shocked, they also understood why she insisted on coming here.
Grandma Yue stroked the red cloth with her old hands. "He is a guard in the palace. We came here with our master when we were little."
Lu Yao licked her lips, her throat tightening.
"We both knew the situation was bad at the time. He had been planning to take me away from the palace, but it was not that easy. We still had to face the war head on."
War has always been cruel, especially to women.
Not all the attackers were good people. Some palace maids were violated, and she almost became one of them.
"It was because he held the criminal's legs and was shot several times that I had the chance to escape."
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie could imagine it.
Grandma Yue's tears wet the red cloth. "I thought I would never have the chance to be buried with him in this life."
She was lucky that after the storm, she took the risk and went to the mass grave and found him.
"He and I had anticipated this day would come, so we agreed that no matter who passed away first, the other would do their best to find each other, and we would be cremated and buried together."
So she cremated him and buried him in their favorite place.
Grandma Yue looked at Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao, "Yaoyao, Xiao Duan, I thought I would never have another chance, but luckily I met you two."
Lu Yao frowned, "Grandma Yue, you should have told me earlier."
If she had known this earlier, she would never have let Grandma Yue wait until the last minute to come.
"This is already good enough, I have no regrets."
Lu Yao turned her head away, unable to bear to look at the smile on Grandma Yue's face.
Grandma Yue held the box and said, "Yaoyao, Xiao Duan, when you cremate me, put our ashes together. Just find a place, dig a little deeper, and put us in it."
Lu Yao: "Duan Mingjie and I will take you all back. There is a cemetery in Beijing."
She was worried about leaving them here.
Who can guarantee that there will be no changes here in the future? What if someone wants to build a house or do something else here?
"Grandma Yue, your relatives are all in Beijing. Director Zhao is still waiting for you to come back. We can visit you at the cemetery anytime."
This place is too far away, transportation is inconvenient, and the language is not very common.
Grandma Yue touched the box and said, "Then let's go back."
He must want to go home too.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie both breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandma Yue put the box on the ground and Lu Yao looked at her in confusion.
Grandma Yue stretched out her hand to Duan Mingjie, "Little Duan, help me lie down."
Duan Mingjie helped her lie on the ground.
Grandma Yue looked at the blue sky and said, "It's still as beautiful here as it was when I was young."
Lu Yao looked at the prairie and saw scattered flocks of sheep and horses. It seemed as if she was in the great outdoors. The temperature was not as high as in Beijing, so it was a good place to escape the summer heat.
Grandma Yue patted the other side, "Yaoyao, come here and lie down."
Lu Yao followed her instructions and lay down beside her, and Grandma Yue began to tell her what happened when she first came to Ordos.
At first Lu Yao just looked at her, but gradually she became fascinated by what was said. She looked up at the sky and imagined the original scene.
Suddenly, Grandma Yue's voice became softer and Lu Yao turned her head to look.
Duan Mingjie squatted down beside her.
Grandma Yue suddenly raised her hand and grabbed at the air. Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie held their breath, only to see a happy smile on Grandma Yue's face, "Chu Chen, I finally see you."
