The landlady immediately understood what she meant. She glanced at Taozhi and said, "You watch Ah Yu at home, I'll go out for a while."

Taozhi was a little worried, "Master, I will accompany you."

The landlady shook her head, "I can do this alone. Can you keep an eye on Ah Yu for me?"

Taozhi could only nod, "Okay."

At this time, the rain was still falling. She walked downstairs and looked at the somewhat desolate street. She picked up the oil-paper umbrella behind the door and was about to go out.

When the employee of the embroidery shop saw this, he asked, "Madam boss, why are you going out at this time when the rain is so heavy?"

"I remembered some tricks and wanted to go out and have a look."

"It's raining heavily, be careful."

She smiled and nodded, holding up the umbrella and going into the rain. The rain pattered on the umbrella and snaked down. Her eyes looked at everything in front of her with some nostalgia and some reminiscence.

It has been many years since his death, and I have never seen the current scenery again. I was trapped in that embroidery shop all day long, watching the customers coming and going in a daze, and concentrating on my own memories.

She raised her head, not reaching out to touch the rain after all. She passed by one store after another and saw old friends whom she knew well in the past. They saw her passing by and raised their voices to say hello, and she responded with a smile.

Until she stepped into the familiar alley again, she felt as if she was in another world. She stood like this for a long time holding the umbrella, holding the umbrella handle tightly with her hand, and slowly stepped into it.

In the mayor's office, Mayor Wu was a little surprised by the sudden knock on the door. He got up and opened the door, and his face was filled with disbelief when he saw the person coming.

There was a smile on the lips of the landlady, "Long time no see, Mayor."

Mayor Wuzhen looked a little confused. He opened his mouth and seemed to struggle for a long time before spitting out a few words, "Why... why are you here?" He seemed to be simply confused.

"Won't you invite me to come in and have a seat?" The landlady's smile was a bit bitter.

Mayor Wuzhen stepped aside in a daze and followed her step by step.

"What's wrong with your legs?" The landlady saw him limping and was a little confused.

The mayor of Wuzhen moved his lips, "The road was slippery on a rainy day and I fell."

The landlady put down the umbrella without asking any more questions, "Since Pingping's death, we haven't seen each other for many years."

Hearing his late wife's name, his expression struggled for a moment, "Yes, it's been many years," he said in a nagging voice.

"I came to you today because I actually want to tell you something," she tightened her fingers slightly, as if she was considering her words.

Mayor Wuzhen was a little nervous when he saw this, "What's the matter?"

"Actually, I don't know whether I should believe you or not," her expression was solemn, but also revealed a bit of panic.

"Say," Mayor Wuzhen's expression tightened. He seemed to have a premonition in his heart and became increasingly restless.

The landlady took a deep breath, "I don't know if you noticed it? I just know that I almost collapsed when I thought about it."

She smiled with a hint of bitterness in her eyes, "Does the mayor still remember the flood 18 years ago?"

Mayor Wuzhen's pupils trembled, and his hands subconsciously grasped the clothes on his thighs. "Big water, big water," he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, I felt like the world was spinning, as if someone was tapping with an awl in my mind. He held his hands on the table, like a fish out of water, breathing heavily, "What on earth did I forget? What are you doing again?"

What do you want to say?"

He stared at the person in front of him, "What do you know?" His expression was tangled and struggling, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and he almost bent over in pain.

"We are already dead. We have been dead for 18 years." The landlady's voice was light and airy, reaching his ears like a ghost.

"No, no, that's obviously not the case," he almost shouted, "You are lying to me, you are all lying to me."

Messy memories filled his mind, like sharp knives cutting his head. His wife's voice and smile gradually emerged, and his daughter's childish voice seemed to be asking over and over again.

The memory was like a beast that came out of the gate. At the moment he broke through, it rushed out without any concealment, rampaging and mercilessly raging in his mind. The memory was like a knife stabbing at his heart.

, those forgotten pasts seem to remind me of my stupidity.

He covered his face in embarrassment and let the tears pour down, "How could there be someone as stupid as me? How could there be someone like me?" The truth he suddenly learned made him almost collapse.

The landlady sighed softly, "You have to be careful and watch the fate of your enemies."

Mayor Wu suddenly raised his head, "When did you remember it? And when did you discover it?"

Seeing his somewhat crazy expression, the landlady frowned slightly and said, "How can you go see Ah Yu if you can't hold it in?"

Just such a simple sentence made his expression freeze instantly, "What are you talking about?" he asked in panic.

"You know? When I think of all this, my heart feels like a knife is cutting it piece by piece. I see Ayu passing by my store again and again in my memory, but I didn't notice it at all.

Her existence," she looked up at him, with a trace of sadness in the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that Mayor Wu was at a loss, she continued to talk to herself, "I saw so many threads wrapped around her body, and I was wondering if she was in pain. How uncomfortable was she? Such a small child.

, endured so much pain, that was the only bloodline left by my sister! But she died so quietly, and she could not even rest in peace after death."

She stared at Mayor Wu, "Do you know how much I hated him in that short moment? If it hadn't been for that master, I would never have seen Ah Yu in my life."

I'm afraid even Yan Qiao has never thought of such a relationship between them.

Wuzhen didn't speak for a long time. He just stared and his whole body was as stiff as a zombie. "Ah Yu," he said these two words with great difficulty.

Finally, his mind felt as if it had been split open by a white blade, and the truth was brought to him. Everything bloody was revealed so cruelly, and then he remembered the little figure he had seen countless times, and he remembered the figure who followed the adult.

It turned out that his Ayu had appeared in front of him many times.

"Why didn't I recognize her?" He covered his face and laughed lowly. His sickly and twisted laughter revealed everything, "I didn't recognize my daughter. Do you think it's interesting? It's been so long.

I've seen it again and again, ah, hahahaha."
