Chapter 117 Half a Steamed Bun
Shen Shenyuan flipped his palm, made a finger gesture, and directly put Dou Dou back into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, so as not to disturb the old woman.
The old woman was a little surprised when she saw that the little doll with the flames burning on its head that frightened her suddenly disappeared, but she quickly reacted and immediately rushed towards Shen Shenyuan.
"The Archmage..."
The old woman greeted from a distance.
"Old man." Shen Siyuan responded politely.
"The Archmage can indeed see me." The old woman said happily.
Then he looked at Xiaoyue and Duoduo, who were standing aside and looking at her curiously, and then continued: "Master, did you see my old man on the way here?"
"Is that the thin one riding a tricycle?" Shenyuan asked.
"Yes, yes, that's him. At this time every day, he should be back." The old woman said quickly.
"I saw him. He's behind and will be here soon." Shen Siyuan said.
At this time, another thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and heavy raindrops began to fall from the sky.
The old woman was startled, hurriedly hid under the bridge pier, and waved to Shen Siyuan.
"Master, do you want to take shelter from the rain before leaving?" She asked hopefully.
It was a lie that she wanted Shen Shen to stay away from the rain. She probably had something to say to him.
"Okay."
Shen Shenyuan walked over without hesitation.
Seeing that Shen Shen Yuan had no intention of leaving, the old woman couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly asked Shen Shen Yuan to sit down.
Under the bridge, in addition to mountains of waste, there was also a simple pot stove, bedding, tables and chairs.
This location is right at the angle between the downhill slope of the overpass, and the location is remote, so no one cares about it.
"The old man is not a Binhai local?" Shen Shenyuan asked.
The old woman nodded and praised: "The Archmage has good eyesight."
"Your accent doesn't sound right to me." Shen Siyuan said.
The same goes for the old man just now, who spoke with a Shaanxi accent.
Sure enough, the old woman continued: "We are from Shaanxi Province."
"At such an old age, why don't you stay in your hometown and come to Binhai to make a living?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.
Hearing this, the old woman sighed and said: "A few years ago, I was ill and couldn't move in bed. The old man saw that I was lonely at home, so he got on a tricycle and took me around..."
When Si Shenyuan heard such a reason, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"It was too cold in the north. The old man was afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear it, so he came all the way south. He took me to many places..."
"But last year, I couldn't get through it, and the old man was the only one left..."
"For me, the old man has spent all his money, so he picks up some rags in exchange for some money to live..."
The old woman said, quietly wiping away tears.
"Why don't you go home? If you don't have enough money, I can help." Shen Siyuan said.
The old woman shook her head and said: "It's not about money. If you really want to go back, go to the government and the government will help send him back. It's the old man who doesn't want to go back..."
"Why?"
"Oh~, because there is no one at home." The old woman sighed.
"Then how can I help you?" Shenyuan asked.
Shen Shen had guessed the old man's thoughts a long time ago and simply asked him directly.
At this time, the rain fell harder outside, and the old woman glanced outside with some worry.
"Can you help tell my old man that he should go home and stop wandering outside? Let him bury me on the east slope so that I can see him all the time..."
Shen Shengyuan listened to the old woman's conversation. She must have read books and had a certain level of education. She didn't know why she ended up in this state in her later years.
"You can tell him these things yourself. If I tell him, he may not believe it." Shen Siyuan said. Then with a thought, he summoned the [Ten Thousand Souls Banner], stretched out his fingers to make a seal, and instantly absorbed the old woman into the banner.
Then in an instant, she "vomited" out again.
"Huh?"
The old woman was still in a daze, seemingly unable to react for a while.
"You can show yourself, see him, and talk to him in person." Shen Siyuan said.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The old woman's face was full of gratitude, and as she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Siyuan.
"You don't have to kneel to me. Now that we have met, we are destined to be together."
Following Shen Siyuan's words, the old woman could no longer kneel down.
Because she was absorbed into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the old woman became more trusting and close to Shen Siyuan.

Seeing that the old man hadn't come back yet, he took the initiative to tell Shen Shenyuan about their past.
The old woman's name is Ma Hongxia, and her husband's name is Sun Sanlu. They have known each other since childhood.
"Although Sanluzi has no education, he is very honest, hard-working and willing to work..."
"When I was young, I had a lot of strength and was a good player both inside and outside..."
"I am very popular with girls, but he doesn't like any of them. He doesn't know why he just likes me and would not marry me unless I am..."
Ma Hongxia complained, but she couldn't help but smile.
"That must be because you were so beautiful when you were young and you fascinated the old man." Shen Siyuan said.
"How can ordinary rural women be so beautiful?" Ma Hongxia said.
"Besides, I was already married and had children at that time..."
"Ah..." Shen Siyuan was silenced by her words.
Ma Hongxia continued in a calm tone: "My family background is not good, so my family helped me find a family to marry into..."
Shen Siyuan felt a little enlightened.
Ma Hongxia continued: "When Sanluzi's parents arranged for him to get married, I already had two children."
"But I met him several times, but he just didn't want to. His father beat him a lot because of this. Finally, he got so angry that he ran into the mountains. In the end, his parents couldn't do anything about his stubbornness, so they just let him go. Already..."
"My ex-husband was a short-lived man. He was gone within a few days of a good life..."
"Later, the three donkeys wanted me to live with him, but my two children didn't want to, and his parents didn't want to. People in the village also gossiped, but this stubborn donkey recognized me..."
"No one can try to persuade him to make trouble with me or his parents. I saw that he was so sincere, so I followed him..."
When Ma Hongxia said this, there was even a hint of shame on her old cheeks.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Ma Hongxia looked worriedly at the outside of the bridge pier, but she quickly looked away and continued talking.
"I asked him why he insisted on me as a widow. He said that he had been attracted to me since he was a child and that I was a kind-hearted person. I gave him half a white steamed bun. I didn't even remember it, but he still kept it in his heart... …”
"When I gave birth to my third baby, I suffered a massive hemorrhage. I couldn't save the baby and was injured. I couldn't give birth to another baby..."
"He is such a stubborn donkey. Even though he knows this, he still insists on asking me to take care of me for the rest of his life even though he says he doesn't want a baby. He is such a stupid donkey..."
Ma Hongxia looked at the rain curtain outside the bridge pier, sighed, and said with guilt: "The most sorry thing for him in my life is that I didn't give him a son and a half, and I was a drag on him..."
After hearing her story, Shen Siyuan couldn't help but remain silent. She could only say that it was a tragedy of the times, and felt that Sun Sanlu was sincere.
At this moment, Ma Hongxia suddenly withdrew her gaze, looked at the piles of garbage beside her, and asked: "Three Donkeys have been sincere, hard-working, and never cheated all their lives. Why do they live like this?" ?”
Shen Siyuan didn't know how to answer this question.
Maybe it's because he is too honest and sincere?
