Chapter 336
Is this... the voice of Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's mother?
Through the palms held tightly together, after feeling the pain like a tide in Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's heart, Li Ang couldn't care whether it would sting her heart, and reminded softly:
"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, no matter what you heard, it's not true. There is no family of yours behind us. Only by continuing to move forward can we see your daughter."
"I... um..."
After hearing Li Ang's reminder, the pale Auntie Auntie Ai Ma nodded slightly, then followed the pulling force in her hand, stepped into Li Ang's memories for the third time, and saw a little girl who was covered in dirt, with both arms scratched by tree branches, but happily handed over a nest of bird eggs for her to see.
A warmth that went straight into her heart quietly seeped into Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's heart along with Melanie's sneaky smiling face. Although it failed to melt the remorse surging in her heart, it made her heart slightly more stable.
The wailing calls behind her still made Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's heart ache like a knife every time, but as she stepped on the white blocks one by one, the memories of Li Ang's family being poor and difficult but warm became a warm palm, not only gently supporting her heart, but also tying up the rational line that was about to break again and again, giving her the courage to take steps.
And contrary to this, Li Ang, who was holding her palm, heard the sighs and wails coming from behind her constantly through the soul linked with Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, as well as a large number of scoldings full of anger.
'Sister Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, I like you so much, why did you harm me?'
'You are the sinner of the Baohua family! If it weren't for you leaking the news, would we have died?'
'Traitor! Why do you still have the face to live?'
'I am disappointed to have a daughter like you.'
'If you still know what shame is, then turn back and look, look at how we died!'
'Get lost, don't come back to disgust us!'
'The last Baohua, very good, just live on with this shame!'
'Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, six years, turn back a little, let me see you one more time, okay?'
Even with Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's soul as a barrier, only vaguely hearing part of the content, the resentment and grudge revealed in these voices were still more piercing than sharp little knives.
And the sighs of disappointment from Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's immediate family members mixed in the scolding and condemnation made Li Ang's heart feel cold.
After learning that Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma was the "last Baohua," he had deliberately flipped through old newspapers and vaguely learned about some of the situations more than six years ago.
Six years ago was the period of the War of Defense. While the Baohua family launched a coup, it seemed that they had the intention of colluding with the invading Icefield Kingdom of Aishito. There was even a saying that the reason why the Icefield Kingdom invaded was related to the Baohua family.
It was precisely because this news was leaked in advance that the Baohua family had to launch a coup in a hurry, and the royal family, who sensed the crisis, had to return the most cruel execution in order to stabilize their own status, resulting in the Baohua Alman, who once had the same status as the Lionheart Laien, finally dying until only Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma and her daughter were left.
And if the leakage of the news was really related to Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, then with her personality, she was probably tormented by guilt every moment in these six years. Hearing the curses of her clansmen and the sighs of her family, it was really difficult to resist not turning back.
In addition, the conflict between the Director and her just now seemed to have other meanings.
Although neither of them made it clear, judging from what they said, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma seemed to be preparing to do something, and the Director did not want her to do it, wanting to force her to choose to give up through the intense way of forcing her to "walk the Road of No Return in reverse."
Then, what exactly is the thing that Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma must do because of the guilt or remorse in her heart, but the Director wants to stop her and tries not to let her do?
"Li Ang?"
After noticing Li Ang's increasingly chaotic thoughts through the palms held tightly together, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then thick guilt surged up.
She only needed to wait for Li Ang to step on the white bricks to pass through this bridge of memories safely under the protection of his beautiful memories, but Li Ang had to face his own pain again and again.
In the case of encountering black bricks several times in a row, he had to constantly take the initiative to step back and re-test again and again until a white block that allowed her to pass appeared.
And it seemed that his luck was not very good. As the two continued to move forward, the number of times Li Ang needed to test began to increase, and finally he even needed to step on three or four black bricks in a row to find a white brick again.
From the time they got on the bridge until now, she had walked more than sixty steps, and the number of black bricks Li Ang had stepped on had already exceeded one hundred, proving that he had relived painful memories at least a hundred times.
At this time, it should have been her, the senior, standing in front to shelter him from the wind and rain, but because of her weakness and hesitation, she could only let him stand out and bear all this, reliving the painful experiences in his life again and again. This was really too wrong.
"Let's walk together."
After gently pulling Li Ang's palm, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who had almost seen all of Li Ang's beautiful life, suggested with a voice as gentle as water:
"Li Ang, you don't need to explore the way for me anymore. I should be able to..."
"No!"
Listening to the words that were still sharp and piercing in her ears, Li Ang refused without hesitation:
"Don't be brave! I can feel the state of your soul. You are just a little more stable now. If you are stimulated by those memories, I don't think you can hold on!"
You tell me not to be brave, but aren't you also being brave?
After biting her lip slightly, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma suggested softly:
"How about this, you still help me step on the bricks and share your memories with me, but don't look for white bricks anymore. Let me step on the black bricks too!
Because these bricks were stepped on by you, most of the memories I saw were your memories, and the memories belonging to me would only appear in a few scenes. This way I should be able to hold on!"
"Alright..."
After feeling Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's soul and confirming that she was not being brave but really had confidence, looking at the Black and White Bridge that had reached the end, Li Ang nodded slightly, moved his feet to the side, and gave up a corner of the black brick under his feet.
After noticing Li Ang's movements, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma secretly took a breath, then lifted her foot and stepped on Li Ang's painful memories.
"Big brother."
The familiar thin girl appeared in front of Auntie Auntie Ai Ma again, but this time the expression on Anna's face was not the look of tenderness and happiness overflowing in her eyes when she looked at "herself" in the past, but calmness and a faint regret.
After being silent for a while, the girl, whose face was as white as paper on the hospital bed, turned her head slightly and suggested in a voice that seemed to dissipate with people at any time, weakly and stubbornly:
"Why don't you just leave me alone?"
