C355 Memories of the past

"I..."

Gu Sang wanted to say "I'm not curious," but when she saw Shen Shaochuan's expectant look, she could not bear to refuse. She could only change her words and ask, "Why did you come back?"

Although she asked at Shen Shaochuan's request, Shen Shaochuan was very happy.

Perhaps because he knew her character, he did not have the heart to bicker with her.

"Did I just mention that I was born in Imperial City? My birth mother passed away a long time ago. " I have almost no impression of her. But a few years ago, I happened to see a photo of my birth mother standing in the courtyard with me in her arms in my father's wallet.

That was the first time I looked directly into my biological mother's eyes, even though it was just a photo. However, I was very happy. My biological mother was very beautiful. Her smile was very bright, and I was very curious. What kind of place was it that brought up my birth mother's bright eyes? It became the reason why I came back here after crossing thousands of mountains and rivers. "

Gu Sang looked at him in surprise. "So you came back to search for the mark of your birth mother's life?"

"Yes, but it has been more than 30 years. There have been too many changes in this city. Back then, my mother held me in her arms and took pictures of the courtyard. I could not find any trace of it."

Shen Shaochuan sighed. His face revealed the first worry he had ever felt since he met Gu Sang.

Gu Sang frowned. "The courtyard? Thirty years ago in Imperial City, there were not many families who could own an independent courtyard. Presumably, your family was very well off back then. Why don't you ask your family if you have any old residences here? "

I can't ask. I heard from my mother that I forgot to mention that after my mother passed away, my father married my aunt. The two of them have lived together until now. My aunt is my current mother.

I heard from her that... Previously, my father and my birth mother had a very good relationship. The reason why he left Imperial City was because he was afraid of touching the scene. Therefore, in front of my dad, we never mentioned my birth mother. "This is also why when you mention my birth mother in front of me, I won't feel sad about it."

Shen Shaochuan leaned back as he spoke. "I'm full. Your cooking skills are really good."

Gu Sang put down the bowl, took a tissue, and handed it to Shen Shaochuan to wipe her mouth. She wiped her hands.

"If it's the old house, I did think of some places."

Thinking of her mother taking her to an old house area with a courtyard when she was young, she suddenly thought of the courtyard Shen Shaochuan mentioned.

"Is that so? Where is it?" When Shen Shaochuan heard that, he immediately became energized.

Gu Sang closed her eyes and carefully recalled. The scene of playing in the old mansion area appeared in her mind when she was young.

She closed her eyes and used her memory to recall, "It takes more than 40 minutes to get there by bus from the city. There is a mountain behind and there is a big blue lake in front of the mountain. Water vapor can still be seen on the surface of the lake in the evening, just like a fairyland. Not far from the lake was an old residence. Every house was a single villa, with its own door and courtyard. The courtyard is also very beautiful. "

Thinking about this, Gu Sang opened her eyes and looked at Shen Shaochuan.

"It looks like the villa district of Imperial City. It looks like a mansion."

Gu Sang's memories were not limited to just these. In front of a yard with a swing tied on the tree, her mother hugged her and cried for a long time.

Although she did not know why her mother was sad, the young her knew that the house had a story for her mother.

"It's still 40 minutes by bus, so far from here! Do you remember where it is?"

Shen Shaochuan felt that there was hope. He was excited.

Gu Sang shook her head and said apologetically. "I went there once when I was young, but I did not have a very deep impression. I actually did not know whether it was a dream or real, but my mother was there. If you really wanted to find that place, I could help you ask my mother."

"Really? Then help me ask now."

Gu Sang smiled awkwardly. "I'll ask for you when I get back."

"Why? It's good to ask now. I can find someone to help me take a look first." Shen Shaochuan seemed to be in a hurry.

"I'm sorry. I don't know my mom's contact details." It really took courage to say that.

"What?" Wang Yao asked. Shen Shaochuan had never seen his daughter who did not know his mother's contact information.

"I hope you don't ask me why you don't know my mother's contact information. I have my own reasons. If you really want to know, I will ask for you another day."

Gu Sang stood up with the bowl in her hands. "I will go wash the dishes."

Shen Shaochuan frowned and shook his head when he saw Gu Sang enter the bathroom in a panic.

What exactly happened that would make a daughter not even know how to contact her mother?

This world was really rare. Even such a thing happened. He was more and more curious about Gu Sang.

Gu Sang finished washing the dishes and came out. She did not intend to stay any longer.

She packed the thermos and said to Shen Shaochuan, "I will go back today. Do you have anything special to eat tomorrow? You can tell me now. I will make it for you tomorrow morning."

Shen Shaochuan smiled warmly. "Your cooking is so good. You can cook whatever you want. I like whatever you do."

Gu Sang smiled when she heard his praise. "Okay, then I will leave first. Goodbye."

After leaving the hospital, Gu Sang did not go home directly. Instead, she took a detour back to the home that she had not returned for six years.

She used to live in the slums of Imperial City.

The alleys here were very narrow. The houses were all cylindrical buildings. The clothes that were washed could only be hung on the window frame that had many layers of gray stains.

A few houses shared a kitchen. Sometimes, the neighbors would often have to fight against each other over who used whom's things.

Even though this place was already full of desolation, it was all Gu Sang's memories.

Her childhood, youth, and youth were all spent here.

If it was not because of an accident, perhaps she could have left this place during her university days.

Unfortunately, her studies didn't change her fate, because she missed the best opportunity.

At this moment, Gu Sang was walking in the narrow alley, looking at every familiar scene from left to right.

There were people splashing water in the alley, there were people drying clothes, there were people choosing vegetables, and there were people playing cards.

Although they were poor, people's lives continued.

This place was still as lively as before, but not many people could recognize her.

That's right, most of this place came from the territories of foreign tenants, so the tenants were very mobile.

In six years, most of the people here had changed a lot.

Gu Sang walked along the alley to the innermost part. This was the only six-story building in the slums.

Gu Sang only moved here from the bungalow when she was twelve years old.

That was the 76 square meters building that her mother used her lifetime savings to buy on this building.

At that time, her father was still carrying gambling debts. Although the house was already there, it was in danger of losing it at any time.

In order to not sell the house to pay off his debts, his mother had no choice but to work day and night to earn money.

That period of time was like a nightmare to Gu Sang.

She went to school during the day and had to come back to cook at night. She also had to endure the fact that she could beat her father at any time after drinking alcohol.0

Walking to the front of the building and looking at the lawn on the right, Gu Sang suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

She was afraid and took two steps back.

Six years ago, her father was lying there. He had already left, but he still looked at the people of the world with a resentful gaze. It was as if he wanted to tell the people of the world that he was wronged...
