Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

"Why are you wearing a mask so late at night?"

"My face is disfigured, and it's inconvenient for me to see people. I'm afraid I'll scare others."

Wen Qilang said with regret: "What can I do? I can't wear it all the time, right? But being disfigured is better than dying. Where have you been all these years? Why don't you go home?"

"I was injured in the face and head during the war, and lost my memory. I forgot about you and followed Chu...followed others to the capital. I was in a coma for three months last year. After waking up, I remembered things sporadically."

"Oh, you're so miserable. By the way, what did you say you wanted to ask me just now?" I was so scared before that I didn't pay attention to what he said specifically.

"I want to ask Xiao Ke how she has been doing these years..."

Wen Qilang looked at Wen Lin with a puzzled look, "You...you didn't marry and have children again in the capital, did you? And now I don't dare to go back and face her. It's a bit difficult for me to live like this."

After all, Hua Ke remained a widow for twenty years for the sake of her brother, and raised the two brothers Wen Fugui peacefully. She was a person worthy of his admiration. With Wen Lin in this state, he didn't know who to help.

"No!" Wen Lin said seriously.

"I have never done anything wrong to her. I have been alone all these years. I have never touched another woman and I don't have any other children."

Wen Qilang glanced at a certain place very quickly. His brother had lost his memory and his face was disfigured. Could he have been injured there as well? Otherwise, how could he not have any thoughts about women after so many years? Wow, what a fate his brother had. He missed the Tong exams in the early years, and then he was disfigured and lost his memory. He only came back when sweet potatoes grew on his grave.

"No! Your Hua Ke has been telling us that you are dead and working for the judge. On the day she drowned, it was you who showed her the way to the afterlife, and she came back to life. You are not dead at all. She is a liar and has deceived the people of Shicheng Village again! She even deceived the county magistrate. It's over. You'd better not admit that you are Wen Lin."

Wen Lin shook Wen Qilang's shoulders vigorously, his tone cold: "Drowned to death?! What happened! Why did something happen to her?!"

"Ouch, be gentle, my shoulder hurts, calm down, it's too cold outside in the middle of winter, let's go inside and talk, it'll take too long to finish."

When Cheng heard this, she quietly retreated from the doorway to the bed, pretending that she had not eavesdropped. This was unbelievable. Hua Ke's dead man was alive! What kind of dream was this? Hua Ke had deceived them so badly! But Old Wen was right. It was really hard for people to accept that a person who had been dead for 20 years suddenly came back and said that he was not dead.

Wen Lin and Wen Qilang chatted from midnight to 5 p.m., and Wen Lin's heart became colder and colder. The person he hated the most was himself. He hated himself for not protecting her, and for leaving her alone here. How much suffering had she endured over the years? What reason did she have to forgive him? Could he still go back to her?

She is a weak woman who raised two children and now has to raise six grandchildren. The responsibility of the whole family falls on her. How tired she must be!

Hearing that she was carried up the mountain by her two sons right after the accident, his fists hardened, and he wanted to run out and beat up Wen Fugui and Wen Fugui. She was their mother, the mother who had raised them with great difficulty, but how did they take care of her? How dare they treat her like this! Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning? !

He was extremely angry, but what position did he have to educate Wen Fugui and the others? If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. When they were growing up, he was not by their side to teach them, and he did not take on the responsibility of being a father. When the children needed him, when Xiao Ke needed him, he was in the capital enjoying the wealth and glory with the rich and powerful. He really deserved to die!

Wen Lin covered his head in pain, tears dripping onto the ground. Should he really come back?

Wen Qilang comforted him: "It's okay, you haven't met them yet, right? They don't know about this."

"They know," Wen Lin choked up, "I couldn't help myself today and told them the truth, but they didn't believe me. I couldn't find Xiao Ke at the market, so I wanted to leave my horse here with you tonight and secretly go to see her, and ask you something by the way, but I don't know what to do now."

"Ah? You've already gone back to see them? This is not going to be easy for you. You came here yesterday. I guess everyone in the village will be talking about you today. Your clothes are too ostentatious. When a fly from another village flew into the village, everyone would talk about it for a long time. The news that you went to see them will soon spread throughout the entire Shicheng Village. By the way, brother, are you doing well after losing your memory? Is that horse outside yours? When can I replace my ox cart with a horse carriage?"

Hey, the topic has gone off track. He should continue to counsel his brother. "So what are you going to do now? Hua Ke has a bad temper. Do you really want to go back and tell her the truth?"

"I do not know."

"I think you can give it a try. She hasn't looked for anyone else in all these years, which means she still has you in her heart. If you say some soft words, maybe she will forgive you."

Hearing this, Wen Lin felt much better. After he recovered his memory, what he feared most was coming back to see that she was with someone else, or that she was no longer alive. Fortunately, she was still alive.

"How about this, you stay at my house first. My Wen Yuan passed the Tongshi exam and is traveling with his teacher to study abroad. He won't be back for more than a month. You can stay in his room for the time being and just say that you are my distant relative."

Wen Lin: "Congratulations, your son is quite amazing."

Wen Qilang said cheerfully: "Not bad, but not as good as you. If you had the chance to take the exam, you would have become a juren long ago. He is still a little short of the mark."

Wen Lin decided to stay at Wen Qilang's house first. After settling the horse, he walked around to the end of the village and stood under the apricot tree, watching silently. The puppy at home curled up at the door of the thatched hut. That should be the room where Xiao Ke was.

Her room was so shabby and looked dangerous. She had been wronged over the years. He had to reconcile with her quickly. If she was willing to go to the capital with him, he would take her away. If she was not willing, he would stay with her. If she wanted to go around, he would accompany her to the ends of the earth.

In the space, Pu Bao looked at Hua Ke who was sleeping soundly, and the masked man who was standing outside in a daze, and rolled his eyes speechlessly. Isn't the wind outside cold? I really don't understand humans.

At Wen Qilang's house, Cheng woke up from a nap and asked, "Old Wen, is that person outside really Wen Lin?"

"Well, he's staying at our house temporarily. Just say he's my distant relative."

Cheng complained, "Why don't you find a more reliable excuse? Where did your rich relatives come from? Also, how long does he plan to stay with us? Ah Hong is going to bring her two little grandchildren to stay at home for two days in a few days, and we won't be able to accommodate them at home."

"I don't think he'll stay long. Wen Lin doesn't want to trouble others for a long time. How about you call Hua Ke home in a couple of days and let them have a good chat?"

"No, I'm afraid Hua Ke will get angry and smash my things."

That’s true. Let Wen Lin figure it out on his own.
