Chapter 186 My Brother is Called Shunliu (The End)
Qingmo doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, nor does she want to. Only when she occasionally encounters some very wealthy people will she rob the rich to help the poor, hehe.
She has plenty of food, so she doesn't need what she has. She doesn't need to think about anything else. She's the kind of person who plucks feathers from a passing goose.
Her refusal to accept grain or other miscellaneous items is already a sign of respect for the Chinese People's Liberation Army. If netizens were to ask her to donate her own items, that would be rather impolite.
She found a small town, bought a small courtyard, and settled down quietly. This period was not peaceful; many families were broken up, people were displaced, and Qingmo was just a drop in the ocean among the crowd.
She dresses like a man and doesn't stand out. She lives a simple and ordinary life. If you dare to provoke her, she will sneak to your house at night and take you to see your great-grandmother.
I sit in the rocking chair in the yard every day, basking in the sun and playing the piano. This is a hobby I've recently developed to cultivate my mind and spirit.
Having visited ancient times several times and being a decent player, I can set up a soundproof barrier so the sound from the courtyard won't carry out.
She wasn't completely clueless; she knew a little bit about everything, but she couldn't master anything, nor did she want to learn anything too complicated. She was just a greedy and lazy girl.
One day, she saw an injured man in the alley. The Nationalist soldiers outside were arresting people. After thinking about it, she took him home.
He was shot twice, once in the shoulder and once in the abdomen, and he still managed to run away. That's quite impressive. He used his internal energy to force the bullets out of his body.
She fed him some spiritual spring water, applied some wound powder, and bandaged him up. It wasn't a big deal. In short, the person she wanted to save wouldn't die.
I must say, this guy was quite good-looking, the tough guy type. He was probably a Communist. After tidying up, I left him alone, put some water and steamed buns nearby, and went back to my room to play on my phone.
The man woke up that evening, didn't say much, thanked Qingmo, left some money, and left, probably with some other task.
Qingmo continued living her life. The boy she saved last time was named Li Yanting, and he was probably a member of the underground Communist Party. Of course, this was just Qingmo's guess, and no one else would tell her.
Sometimes when Li Yanting was being chased, he would hide at Qingmo's place. Over time, the two became acquainted. He always thought Qingmo was a man and didn't try to hide it.
Qingmo rarely asked many questions. Some things were enough for the two of them to understand. Over time, he also subtly inquired about Qingmo's views on the situation and whether she had any thoughts of joining the revolution.
Qingmo replied: Thanks for the invitation, but I don't want to, I have no idea, I just want to be a lazy bum.
For her, it was just a matter of convenience; as for heroes, she was still willing to give them the respect they deserved.
However, it's a different story if we ask her to seriously pursue her career. The heroes of this era were undoubtedly great and made outstanding contributions.
However, human nature is ultimately complex. Even heroes can have their edges smoothed by time, and even heroes cannot resist the charms of beautiful women. It was not uncommon for people to abandon their wives and children after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Cultural Revolution was nothing more than a struggle for power.
We ordinary folks don't understand those things. We should just live our own lives. If we encounter someone we need help, we'll lend a hand. If we don't, we'll just pretend we didn't see them. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.
She knew history well; it was largely unchanged, except that there would be sacrifices on the road to progress. Sacrifice was inevitable; that was revolution, and people would eventually see the dawn.
One day, Qingmo was basking in the sun in the yard, humming a little tune, when Li Yanting rushed over, looking anxious.
"Brother Qingzi, I have a favor to ask, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Qingmo: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it. You already said it was an unreasonable request, so there's no need to say it. It'll only embarrass you and me."
Li Yanting hadn't expected Qingmo to refuse so decisively. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke up. He knew it was presumptuous, but the situation was urgent, and he couldn't worry about that now. What if it worked out?
It turned out that there was a traitor in their organization, many comrades were arrested, and the stronghold was no longer safe. They urgently needed to find a hiding place to transfer people and then find a way to send them out of the city. He and Qingmo were old acquaintances, so he thought of asking for help.
Qingmo raised an eyebrow. This was not a good matter to get involved in. Did she seem like a kind person?
Saving you was a favor, not saving you was my duty. How did you end up using this place as a base after I saved you once? Are we going to have to hold all our meetings here from now on?
Looking at Li Yanting's earnest eyes, Qingmo said coolly, "I'm sorry, I don't think it's convenient. I'm just an ordinary citizen and don't want to cause trouble."
Seeing her refusal, Li Yanting did not give up and continued, "Comrade Qingzi, this is a time of national difficulty. I hope you can help us. When the country is in trouble, who can remain unaffected?"
Qingmo didn't say anything more; there was no point in arguing, so she simply chased Li Yanting away.
Sure enough, she's too kind. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened. She could have just let it go. Sigh! Kindness, there's nothing she can do about it.
(Just a quick note: she really didn't want to do things like donating food and saving lives, but some netizens are going to criticize me again, saying I'm unpatriotic. It's so hard. Help! Can't she just kill without batting an eye?)
After the civil war ended, Qingmo never saw Li Yanting again. She didn't know if he had sacrificed his life or was too busy being a high-ranking official, but it was none of her business.
In life, one may have one or two close friends, but relationships come and go. To her, they are all just passersby. She may make some friends and listen to their conversations about everything under the sun, their dreams for the future. She just smiles and doesn't respond.
They are friends, but the definition of friendship is different. It's enough to treat each other sincerely. There's no sadness because of someone's departure, nor any resentment because of someone's misplaced trust.
She was just a woman living alone. As time went by, she grew old and became an old lady. There was nothing special about her, and no dramatic story.
Qingmo lived to be 65 years old, and her life was finally over. This period was really not a good time; it was always chaotic. Although it had nothing to do with her, a commoner, her living conditions were just average. Killing others was easy, but outliving yourself was too difficult.
"Ding, congratulations on completing the mission. We will take you away from this world immediately."
"Ding, area score settled: 1000, balance..."
Her cultivation has reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, and she's about to become a Human Immortal. When that happens, she'll first need to convert all the spiritual energy in her body into immortal power. Once that's all done, she'll be an immortal. Hehe, I'm looking forward to it, after all, this is her true form.
She had already asked Xiao Wu, and after her main body becomes an immortal, even if she is unbound from the system, she will not need to be reincarnated.
She can choose any world to retire in, and her lifespan is calculated based on her cultivation level, which is perfect. However, when the time comes, her cultivation level will need to be sealed, and it can only be sealed to the highest level that the world can withstand.
"Xiao Wu, let's begin the next task."
