Chapter 115: Chapter 115: The Nearest Pavilion Gets the Moon First
“Hmm! Then you go, co back early or the ox cart will be full and leave.” Too much had happened today, and Madam Xie’s mood still hadn’t recovered, leaving her in a daze.
“My wife, I’ll go too.” The fool sitting in the ox cart, upon hearing this, stood up, also wanting to follow Xuexue.
“Stop adding trouble. The clerks from the Great Harmony Restaurant are still looking for you all over town. You’d better just sit here quietly and wait for
to co back.” Xuexue turned her head and said crossly.
“Yeah, you better not go. It was so dangerous just now.” Madam Xie also nodded in agreent, recounting how just monts ago, several clerks from the Great Harmony Restaurant had suddenly appeared behind her, scaring her half to death. Even thinking about it now was trendously startling.
“I’m not afraid. I know martial arts. I could send them all to the roof to cool off.” The fool waved his hands, mimicking the posture of a martial arts master.
“Keep babbling, and see if I don’t kick you out of my house and make you wander the streets.” Xuexue’s face hardened, and she spoke fiercely.
“Eh.” Intimidated by Xuexue’s fierceness, the fool slouched back down, looking utterly dejected.
Seeing that the fool had quieted down, Xuexue finally smiled satisfactorily, turned around, and quickly stepped into the street, soon disappearing into the crowd.
“Big brother, don’t be sad. Sister is very kind, she’s only scaring you because she doesn’t want bad people to catch you,” Chuner, seeing the fool’s listless deanor, comforted him.
“Hmm! I know my wife ans well.” The fool then smiled broadly.
“Why do you keep calling my sister your wife?” Chuner, though young, was sharp-minded.
“She is my wife! I have a token, don’t believe ? Let
show you.” Saying this, the fool took out a portrait from his bosom, holding it as if it were a precious treasure, and carefully handed it to Chuner.
Chuner unfolded the portrait and indeed, it was of her sister. However, she wondered why there were so many blood stains on the portrait, making the whole picture look dirty.
“It really is a portrait of sister! Mother, look.” Chuner handed the portrait to Madam Xie.
Madam Xie had already seen the portrait when Chuner got scared earlier, and it was definitely of Xuexue. She had been puzzled for a long ti, but facing this man, who appeared simple-minded, she couldn’t ask for much.
Madam Xie took the portrait again and examined it carefully. The clothes Xuexue wore in the portrait looked very familiar, reminiscent of the outfit she wore the night the incident at the Mo family occurred.
“Big brother, this portrait seems to have been painted recently, hasn’t it?” Madam Xie asked tentatively.
The fool scratched his head, thinking hard, and finally curled up in agony, saying, “I don’t know, I just can’t rember. Whenever I try to think, my head feels like it’s going to explode, it hurts so much.” While speaking, he began to slap his head vigorously with both hands.
This action terrified Madam Xie and Chuner: “Big brother, if you can’t rember, then stop trying. Don’t hurt yourself.”
“Big brother, stop hitting yourself, it must hurt a lot,” Chuner also said anxiously.
It took a while, but the fool finally cald down. Madam Xie dared not ask him anything more, fearing he might harm himself again.
“Big brother, you are truly pitiable, having forgotten your past and not even knowing your own na, yet rembering only this portrait,” Chuner said sympathetically as she returned the portrait to him.
Soon, the won who had gone to the market started to return one after another. Seeing a handso young man on the cart, they couldn’t help but take a few more glances. His features were outstanding, not just in Mo Family Village but in the entire town, no wonder their eyes glead.
“Madam Xie, this handso young man, what’s his surna and given na, where does he live, is he married yet?” One of the aunties, seeing Chuner sitting close to the handso man and whispering to him from ti to ti, and knowing he must be a relative of Madam Xie’s family, thought it a good opportunity to find a potential son-inlaw for her daughter, thus inquired.
