641: I'll come back later

Standing on the spot, the doubts in Cang Poshi's heart were constantly stacking up.

That's right.

This Town is Huangniu Town!

Although he hadn't been here for several years, it wasn't to the point where he didn't even recognize the road.

But in this Town, except for the buildings which hadn't changed much, the people within gave him a strong sense of unfamiliarity!

Those so-called familiar faces he saw on the road before, thinking back now, were only seventy to eighty percent similar to the villagers he had seen before, and were not those villagers themselves at all!

And the Town was not as dangerous as described by those few villagers who had gone to Ning Mansion before; it looked very normal.

"Clang clang clang clang!!!"

Suddenly, on the street outside, a burst of gongs directly exploded.

At the same time, a cheerful sound came from the street outside: "Opera time, the opera troupe is here to perform, everyone hurry and watch the opera!"

This huge commotion was heard not only by Cang Poshi.

The Gao family and others in the inn were also attracted.

Everyone looked towards the street outside.

Because of this greeting sound, many people from the Town had already happily stepped onto the street.

"Patrons, you've arrived at just the right time." The inn's Shopkeeper came before the Gao family and others at this moment: "In our Town, this opera troupe only comes once a year, and today you gentlemen have happened to encounter them."

"Gentlemen Patrons, after eating, go watch the opera; it is truly something to enjoy."

"It's interesting to have an opera to watch," Lan Family Head Gao Peng said, but then his attitude changed as he turned and ordered: "However, there's no need to listen to the opera. Everyone should return to your rooms to rest. When we reach Five Directions City tomorrow, you can go wherever you want to play."

Coming all the way from the coast to the Southern Border region, along this road, although it wasn't extremely dangerous, Gao Peng had also encountered many wicked people.

Anyway, they would reach Five Directions City tomorrow, so at this time, these people of theirs could even less afford to relax.

Moreover, the Town itself gave them an uncomfortable feeling.

The eldest son, Gao Lang, let out another wail upon hearing this instruction.

However.

As the people in the inn successively returned to their rooms and lay down on their beds, their bodies and minds relaxed, they suddenly heard a faint sound, like the creaking of some old wooden door opening and closing, leisurely drifting into their rooms.

"Yi yi ya ya~"

A high-pitched opera voice, carrying bursts of melody, entered everyone's ears.

The distant opera in the Town was actually being sung so that they could hear it even in the inn!

And beneath this high-pitched yet faint vocal line, a tragic story also slowly unfolded its scene along with this opera.

The protagonist of the opera was a woman from a small Village.

The woman and a scholar who vowed to achieve fame through examinations became husband and wife.

The two who married were very satisfied with each other, and the Man even swore that in this life, besides his Lin Yue's wife, he would never become involved with any other woman!

At the summer solstice, the scholar bid farewell to his Lin Yue's wife and went alone to the capital for the imperial examinations.

In the ordinary wait, the woman discovered she was pregnant, and was overjoyed to send a letter to inform her husband who had gone to the capital.

However, what her letter awaited was her husband's divorce letter.

The scholar said in the letter that he had other women outside and was going to marry that woman as his main wife!

At this point in the opera, the gentle voice gradually became mournful, just like the woman in the story crying sorrowfully.

The woman wrote thick envelopes begging to salvage the relationship or even become a concubine, but her husband no longer replied, showing not the slightest bit of attachment.

The woman fell to the ground heartbroken and had a miscarriage.

Fortunately, kind people took her to Town, where a doctor saved her and preserved her life.

However, with her husband's divorce letter added to the disappearance of her Child, under such a blow, she went mad, just like the crazily shouting performer outside, leaving the medical hall amidst mad laughter.

She began looking for that heartless Man, the A Man who had killed her Child and abandoned her.

She searched for a long time, but she really did find the place where that A Man lived!

The other party was in a Town, a prosperous Town, which her small Village couldn't compare to.

However, the woman did not truly see the figure of that A Man in this Town.

That heartless Man was hiding from her! No, he despised her!

The woman completely went mad.

Her eyes bloodshot, she poured poison into the Town's well without regard for the consequences.

Dead, the people in the Town drank the water, and one by one they were about to die!

It was also only at this moment that the woman saw that A Man, the A Man who was in her dreams!

He was still that appearance, no, compared to before, his attire was cleaner, more handsome, just like the appearance that only those important figures and Young Masters spoken of by the storyteller had.

He also drank the poisoned well water and was slightly coughing.

And the look in the other party's eyes towards her was extremely shocked, as if he had seen someone who was originally dead suddenly appear.

"What? Do you think I should have died from the miscarriage? You heartless Man, you trash!" Seeing her own disheveled state and then looking at the other party's clean attire, the woman seemed to be stimulated by something and directly drew out the dagger with many nicks from her body.

With quick steps, she suddenly stabbed it into the A Man's chest!

On the street of Huangniu Town.

Cang Poshi, without realizing it, had been attracted by the plot of this opera.

After the woman stabbed the dagger into the A Man's chest, the A Man opened his arms and directly embraced the woman: "Your husband wrote you so many letters, why didn't you reply to a single one?"

"Do you know how many times I went to the Village where you lived?"

"They all said you died from the miscarriage.

Your husband knew you must still be alive."

"You really are still here," the A Man said, tears falling, but the fresh blood from his chest was also dripping onto the ground.

The woman was somewhat stunned by the embrace, and hearing the A Man's words, she violently pushed the other party away: "Nonsense! How could you have written to me? Looked for me? You clearly already wrote me a divorce letter, you clearly said you would only marry me in this life, why, why abandon me because of other women?"

"Divorce letter?"

The A Man's body swayed: "When did I ever write a divorce letter?!

Your husband was thinking about meeting you sooner every moment, how could I write a divorce letter?!"

Under the words filled with intense emotional fluctuation, the A Man finally noticed the injury on his body.

Swaying, he leaned against the wall: "My wife must have misunderstood.

Your husband never wrote a divorce letter.

That divorce letter must have been forged, and the letters your husband wrote to his wife must have been intercepted by someone."

"Letters travel slowly carrying myriad affections, once severed, the root of affection is extinguished.

This is not my wife's fault.

The fault lies with your husband for not discovering this sooner, for not protecting you and our Child well.

What a pity, your husband still has so many things he wants to tell you."

The bloodied hand brushed across the woman's tear-streaked face.

The tenderness in the A Man's eyes extinguished as his pupils gradually dilated.

And before the A Man, the female protagonist in the opera looked at the husband she had killed and completely sat frozen on the spot.

"Huh? Aren't you a character in the opera? Why aren't you going up?" Beside Cang Poshi, A Man suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, the Old Man's brow furrowed slightly.

That Child said this before, and now this guy is also saying it.

What's going on?

"Mhm, we'll go up later." A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind, responding on behalf of Cang Poshi.

Hearing these words, Cang Poshi subconsciously turned his head: "Master? Why are you here?"
