There sat a mountainous heap of trash at the urban-rural junction of Shallow Bay, the continuous drift of a sour rot filling the air, nauseating to anyone who slled it.
At that mont, a luxury rcedes car slowly drove into the midst of the trash mountain, coming to a stop in front of a shanty hidden behind.
The car door opened, and four people alighted.
"Big brother, Granny and I have been staying in the shanty ahead!" Yangyang seed aware of the stench and said apologetically to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng glanced at the trash that piled up like a mountain and wrinkled his brow at the vomit-inducing stench.
By his side, Chen Sihai and Hu Er had also followed. At that mont, both were inwardly churning, the stench overwhelming their senses.
As Yangyang spoke, he ran towards the shanty holding so food they had just bought.
The shanty had no door, but was rely constructed from a collection of dilapidated asbestos tiles. As soon as he entered, Ye Feng saw an elderly figure lying on a wooden bed, and before her stood a woman with long hair, holding a bowl and feeding her sothing.
This elderly figure was the sa old lady they had seen on the train before. Now she looked much older, with disheveled white hair, hollow eyes devoid of spirit, and with tear streaks still visible at the corners of her eyes, having obviously just cried.
"Granny! I'm back!" Yangyang ran excitedly into the room, and when he saw the woman feeding his grandmother, joy spread across his face:
"Chouchou sister, you're off work!"
Chouchou, the woman with the jet-black hair that cascaded to her waist, had a voluptuous and graceful figure. Even wearing a washed-out, worn casual shirt that was nearly white, it couldn't hide her impressive physique.
"Yangyang! Didn't sister tell you not to go begging anymore? I'll bring you food, okay?" Chouchou's voice was as lodious as an oriole, exceedingly pleasant to the ear and soothing to anyone who heard it.
When Ye Feng and Chen Sihai saw the woman's perfect figure and heard her clear, enchanting voice, both were stunned. Those two features alone could make anyone believe that she must be an extrely beautiful woman.
"Sister, do you rember the big brother I told you about last ti? He ca today, he's right there!" Yangyang said excitedly, pointing outside.
Upon hearing this, Chouchou realized that there were visitors, and turned to look outside the shanty.
However, as Chen Sihai and Hu Er clearly saw the woman's face, they felt a chill on their scalps and were taken aback.
This woman was contrary to expectations; she wasn't a beautiful lady but rather one whose ugliness was extre!
Her face bore a massive birthmark of purple and red, almost completely covering one side of her face. Even more horrific was that the birthmark extended to her neck, giving her an intimidating and terrifying appearance.
"Damn! She really is the 'back view assassin'!"
Both Chen Sihai and Hu Er inwardly muttered. From the back and by the sound of her voice, she was undoubtedly a suprely beautiful woman. But her front... it could scare off any man, indescribably hideous to the extent that they had never seen a woman so grotesque.
In contrast to Chen Sihai and Hu Er's shock and revulsion, Ye Feng was much calr. The instant he saw the woman's face, he was only slightly surprised, but then his gaze lingered on her features, without showing any sign of aversion to her unbearably ugly visage.
The woman seed already accustod to the disgust and horror in Chen Sihai and Hu Er's eyes. At that mont, her expression did not change in the slightest. However, when she saw Ye Feng sizing her up with interest, she was a bit surprised.
If her mory served her right, this was still the first person who hadn't been scared off by her!
"Alright! Yangyang, now that you're back, take good care of grandma! I will co to see you again tomorrow!" Chouchou said to Yangyang, then leaned over to whisper sothing in the old lady's ear before turning around and walking out of the shanty.
Seeing the woman pass by, Chen Sihai and Hu Er dodged repeatedly, not daring to take another glance at her, fearful that looking too much would indeed give them nightmares at night.
Whereas Ye Feng's eyes continue to sweep over the woman's face until she had walked far away before he finally retracted his gaze.
"Perfect figure, pleasant voice, indifferent personality, flawless features! A supre beauty, this is a supre beauty!" Ye Feng murmured in admiration as he watched the woman's retreating figure.
Hearing these words, Chen Sihai and Hu Er nearly bit their own tongues.
"Brother Ye, you couldn't have missed seeing that woman's face, could you?"
With weird looks in their eyes, Chen Sihai and Hu Er faced Ye Feng who had quite a peculiar taste. Clearly, she was the ugliest woman, comparable to the holy Dongshi, yet in his eyes, she had beco a supre beauty.
Ye Feng, of course, knew what the two were thinking, but he paid them no mind.
To ordinary people, whether soone is beautiful or not is judged solely by their facial features and skin. As long as the features are fine-tuned and the skin is fair, that person is considered beautiful; otherwise, they are deed ugly.
However, Ye Feng had a different way of viewing people. First, he looked at the facial bone structure, then observed the facial muscles, followed by the features, and finally, the skin!
Ye Feng found that the woman nad Chouchou had an exceptionally regular facial bone structure, hardly finding any flaws, her facial muscles were compact and delicate, her features were exquisite—it was only her skin that seed ugly because of the greenish-red birthmark.
And for Ye Feng, skin was exactly the most changeable elent! If he could remove the woman's birthmark, she would undoubtedly be a supre beauty!
Ye Feng naturally would not discuss this with Chen Sihai and Hu Er; at this mont, he walked straight into the shanty.
The inside of the shanty was very rudintary, with only a wooden plank bed and a tattered table. The roof above had already cracked, and it would be uninhabitable inside if it rained.
Upon seeing Ye Feng, the old lady lying on the bed imdiately burst into tears, struggling to get up.
Ye Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support her, comforting her, "Old madam, please restrain your grief!"
Along the way, Yangyang had told Ye Feng about their misfortunes in the past few days. He hadn't expected this family to undergo such drastic changes in just two days, with their money robbed and the old man stabbed to death by a thug, leaving behind only the elderly and the young, for whom even survival would now be an issue.
With tear-filled eyes, the frail old woman grasped Ye Feng's hand and said, "Young man, the only thing my old man insisted on before he left was that when Yangyang grows up, he must repay you! It was you who gave my grandson his life!"
Hearing this, a slight pang of sorrow struck Ye Feng's heart. The old man had toiled all his life, and in the end, had not only amassed a mountain of debt but had also died in a foreign place, which was truly a sad tale!
Ye Feng then soothed the old lady for a while and after making sure she was just overly grieved and extrely weak rather than physically injured, he was able to set his mind at ease.
