Chapter 344 A Hairband
Fang Duobing leaned closer to Wu You and whispered, "Where is this new world you're talking about? What dynasty is it from? Who is the emperor?"
Wu You glanced at Fang Duobing and said, "That's a new era. There's no emperor there. Everyone is in charge."
"No emperor? How chaotic would that be?" Fang Duobing was very surprised, as was Li Lianhua.
"There is no war there, the country is prosperous and democratic, the people are free and equal, and it is a just and law-abiding country."
"In people's hearts, there will always be a red flag fluttering in the wind, with five dazzling stars shining on it."
Seeing the light shining in Wu You's eyes, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing exchanged a glance, both puzzled. Was this the same Wu You who had been listless just moments before?
“Wu You, this sounds like the country everyone dreams of. No wonder you didn’t want to come back after you went there.”
Li Lianhua poured Wu You a full glass of wine: "Youyou, in the new world, is that old mansion the home in your dreams?"
Wu You glanced at Li Lianhua, then turned her face away and secretly wiped away the tears on her face with her fingers: "The pomegranate tree in that yard produces very big and sweet pomegranates every year. Every time the pomegranates ripen, it is the happiest time for the two children in the family."
"There are so many pomegranates that our family can't possibly eat them all, so we have to sell them on the street. The two children also often bring them to school to share with their classmates."
"The stone table under the pomegranate tree was where they did their homework for three seasons of the year. After they finished their homework, they would run to the other side to play on the swing, and the two of them would swing very high."
"The story is so believable, it's like you actually lived in that little courtyard."
Fang Duobing shook his head: "But no matter what, it's dawn, your dream is over, and you're back where you started."
“Youyou.” Li Lianhua held Wu You’s hand, unsure how to comfort her.
"I'm fine, I just didn't expect to pass away so suddenly, and I didn't know what to do for a moment."
Wu You took a sip of tea: "Do you think it's when dawn breaks, the dream ends, and you return to where you started? Or is it when it's late at night, and you fall into a dream, that you can return to your hometown?"
"Does that even need to be said? Of course, you need to be awake to go back. How can you go back if you're asleep?"
"Maybe not!" Wu You shook his head, banishing the complex emotions in his heart.
"Forget about my dream of a new world, let's get back to the story you were about to tell. What was it?"
Li Lianhua patted Wu You's hand before speaking: "It's about youthful loyalty. The story goes like this: Back then, Zhan Yunfei and others joined forces to defeat the Huanghai Gang and captured its leader, Jiang Dafei."
"When they wanted to hand over Jiang Dafei's gang back to Yanzhou, they suddenly ran out of rope. So, someone took a fancy to something Zhan Yunfei had and wanted to borrow it."
"what?"
"scarf.""
"So Zhan Yunfei also wears a headscarf. Doesn't he never comb his hair?" Fang Duobing was very familiar with this habit of Zhan Yunfei.
"Well, he not only loves combing his hair, but he's also extremely particular about it. However, he's a bit stubborn."
Li Lianhua then revealed the bet between Li Xiangyi and Zhan Yunfei: whoever lost would no longer comb their hair.
