Wang Xiaofu was too frightened to do anything. She had never seen anyone's skin become like this at such an age, not to mention that Mu Zi was still a pretty girl with just half of her face.
Mu Zi smiled with difficulty and said, "Girl, if you don't apply it, I will freeze."
"Ah! Oh, good..."
Wang Xiaofu calmed down and started to help Mu Zi apply the ointment. As the ointment was evenly applied on his back, the pain gradually disappeared, and Mu Zi let out a long sigh of relief.
After putting on his clothes, Mu Zi looked at Wang Xiaofu apologetically: "When I get sick, the pain is so painful that I can't take care of myself. I usually just endure it and it gets over, but today it hurts too much. I owe the girl a favor."
"No, no need." Wang Xiaofu waved her hand timidly.
Mu Zi had a natural affection for such a timid and fearful girl. Just like herself back then, she was too weak to do anything to change the status quo.
"What's the girl's name?"
"My name is Wang Xiaofu."
"I got it."
"Sister Mu," Wang Xiaofu suddenly asked, "Why are you injured..."
"That year, a gangster entered the house, killed my father and mother, and set the house on fire. I was injured at that time, and I couldn't run away, because my body was on fire. Fortunately, it rained, and I saved my life. return."
Wang Xiaofu looked at the woman with a half-mask in front of her, feeling both respectful and afraid. I am such a cowardly person, I am afraid that I will never become like her in my lifetime. If one of his relatives was killed, he would not dare to take revenge.
"Sister Mu, were you... very good-looking before?" Wang Xiaofu didn't know why she suddenly asked this question.
Mu Zi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to think about it, and replied with a smile: "Chang'an Jade Wind Chime, Qingzhou Hua Yueying... This Hua Yueying is talking about me in the past. However, I haven't looked in the mirror for several years, how can I still look at myself in the mirror?" What’s the matter with Hua Yueying?”
Wang Xiaofu suddenly stretched out her palm in front of her, covering half of Mu Zi's masked face, and only looked at the other half...it was really beautiful.
Mu Zi couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss Xiaofu, it's getting late."
"Huh? Oh..." Then he left the house in a panic.
When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she seemed to be like Wang Xiaofu, timid and afraid of strangers.
…
Early the next morning, Mu Zi said goodbye to Fu Xiaohu and Tan Wushuang and headed to Chaolan Valley.
Fu Xiaohu frowned and said, "You are alone, doesn't it matter?"
"I came here alone all the way."
"You just got sick yesterday. It's not safe to be alone..." Fu Xiaohu thought for a while, "Fat man."
"ah?"
"You should accompany Sister Mu back to Chaolan Valley."
"What? We just ran out not long ago. I'll hold you back when I get back."
"Don't worry, the truth is to arrest us. They have sent people out long ago."
Tan Wushuang thought about it carefully. Thinking of his father's attitude at that time, he might even be praised when he returned.
Mu Zi declined: "No, I'm alone..."
Fu Xiaohu interrupted her: "The valley is full of institutions, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. Let him accompany you. It won't take long."
Having no choice but to refuse, he had to take Tan Wushuang back to Chaolan Valley.
The two of them rode a fast horse, and the journey was uneventful. They walked relatively quickly and arrived outside Chaolan Valley before dark.
Tan Wushuang kept chattering along the way, telling Mu Zi about things in the valley. Mu Zi didn't feel bored and just wanted to know more.
Arriving at the entrance of Chaolan Valley, Mu Zi suddenly hesitated. He didn't know whether to go in or not. He just stood at the entrance blankly.
"Sister Mu?" Tan Wushuang asked tentatively.
Mu Zi came to his senses and said, "Let's go in."
The two entered the valley. Although they had not been out for a long time and the distance was not very far, Tan Wushuang felt as if he was in another world.
Not long after they entered, they were stared at. It was Tan Wu.
His father, Tan Xiaotian.
Tan Xiaotian watched his son bring a graceful woman into the valley. He was a little angry at first: You are such a bastard. You have only been out for a few days and you are back in despair? Then I had a thought: I can kidnap a woman and come back. She looks like a dog in her clothes. Could it be that I am doing well outside?
With this thought in mind, Tan Xiaotian jumped down from the tree and stood in front of the two of them.
"stop!"
Mu Zi was nervous and subconsciously held the spear. Tan Wushuang laughed.
"Hey, dad, it's me."
"I know it's you, kid, why are you back?"
Tan Wushuang made an "offended" expression at Mu Zi, ran to his father, and whispered about Mu Zi's origins.
Tan Xiaotian frowned and asked softly: "Really?"
"real."
"Okay, I believe you, come with me."
…
Chaolan Valley is quiet at night. There are no entertainment activities in the valley. Everyone goes home to sleep as soon as it gets dark. Mu Zi's arrival caused quite a stir, and everyone came out to watch the fun.
Tan Wushuang walked beside Mu Zi with dignity, raising his head and chest, which meant: Look at me, I'm acting like a human now.
Fu Xiaohu pushed his way out of the crowd, pulled Tan Wushuang and asked, "Wushuang, where is my little tiger?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Fu, Xiaohu is doing very well now."
Someone asked loudly: "Fat Tan! What kind of world have you seen outside?"
Tan Wushuang just smiled enigmatically and did not answer.
As they talked, the crowd gathered around them and arrived at the meeting hall. In the hall, Mo Changfeng, Chen Yan and others had been waiting here for a long time. It seemed that since they entered the valley, someone had come back to spread the news.
Mo Changfeng looked at the half-masked woman in front of him and asked, "Girl, are you really from Qingzhou?"
Mu Zi cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Junior Qingzhou Mu Zi, I have met Lord Mo."
"You're welcome. If you are really Uncle Jiu's granddaughter, then we are our own family. Wait a moment, someone has been sent to notify Uncle Jiu."
Chen Yan asked: "Miss Mu, how are you at home?"
Mu Zi smiled bitterly and replied, "Not very good."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of staggering footsteps at the door, and an old man with white hair and beard stumbled into the hall with the support of two young people.
"Man'er!" Uncle Jiu's face was filled with tears. He shouted and came to greet him as soon as he entered the door.
Mu Zi turned around and looked at the old man in front of him, his mind went blank for a moment. He is old, too old.
Everyone present sighed with emotion. Uncle Jiu entered the valley eighteen years ago and has not had any contact with his family in these years. Now that his granddaughter has come to see him, the old man is crying like a child.
Uncle Jiu stretched out his trembling hands, gently touched Mu Zi's face, and cried, "Man'er, I miss you so much, grandpa! What's going on with this mask?"
Mu Zi suddenly reached out and took off the mask on his face, revealing half of his face with tangled flesh and flesh in front of everyone. This shocked everyone and they all wondered what kind of crime Mu Zi had suffered. Although Tan Wushuang knew that Mu Zi had burns on his face, he was still shocked when he saw this terrifying half of his face.
Mu Zi sneered and replied: "Thanks to you, my life will be ruined."
Uncle Jiu was suddenly stunned. Not only Uncle Jiu, but also everyone in the room was stunned. Although Tan Wushuang had known Mu Zi for less than two days, he knew that she was a gentle person. Why did he say such cold words now?
"A few years ago, your branch of the Mu family in Qingzhou was retaliated by the enemy. Your son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all killed. Your granddaughter was seriously injured and left to die in the fire. God will not kill me." Mu Zi closed his eyes and raised his neck. She originally thought that she would burst into tears when she said this accusation, but who knew that she would be so calm and without any disturbance in her heart.
Uncle Jiu asked blankly: "Who committed the murder?"
"It doesn't matter anymore, they are all dead," Mu Zi lowered his head and lowered his eyes, "I came here for one thing."
"Man'er, what's going on?"
mu
A fierce light suddenly appeared in Zi's eyes. He flipped his wrist and a dagger appeared in his hand, and he stabbed out Uncle Jiu's heart.
She did not succeed. The moment she took action, Chen Yan and Fu Yanhe rushed forward one from the left and the other from the right. Fu Yanhe restrained Mu Zi's left arm, and Chen Yan hit several acupuncture points on Mu Zi's right arm with lightning speed. She felt that her right hand holding the knife suddenly lost strength, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Then Fu Yanhe used both hands to push Mu Zi to the ground.
Tan Wushuang stared blankly at everything that happened before him, and said vaguely: "This... this, Mu..."
With an angry look on his face, Tan Xiaotian kicked his son out of the hall and shouted angrily: "Get out!"
A lot of people gathered outside the door. They didn't see the situation in the hall clearly, but they didn't know what happened suddenly, and Tan Wushuang flew out.
In the hall, Uncle Jiu shouted: "Stop it! Yan He! Let her go!"
Fu Yanhe said: "Uncle Jiu, but..."
"Let her go..." Uncle Jiu looked bitter, "Let her go."
Fu Yanhe had no choice but to let go, and Mu Zi stood up unsteadily, his arm whose acupoints had been tapped by Chen Yan hanging weakly. She looked at Uncle Jiu with vicious eyes and said, "You're just being pretentious."
Uncle Jiu's body suddenly stooped, his legs became weak, and he seemed to be unable to stand. He slowly sat on the ground with the help of others.
"I... I'm sorry for you, and it's normal to hate me. After eighteen years of separation, hey... I thought that if I didn't contact my family, I could always get rid of the relationship. Man'er, have you been having a hard time these past few years? ?」
Mu Zi smiled, as if he had heard a big joke.
"Jade Wind Chime, Hua Yueying. When I was sixteen years old, the young talents in Qingzhou were trampling down the threshold of my home, and the matchmakers invited by the aristocratic families never stopped." Mu Zi said, reaching out and touching all the places on his body. The left side of his face was burned, and he continued, "Although the whole family is not welcomed by the elders of the clan, they have no worries about food and clothing. To put it bluntly, I am also the eldest daughter of a well-off family. Everything was ruined overnight. No one came to propose marriage anymore, and members of the same clan also Everyone avoided me. If it hadn’t been for the rescue of kind-hearted people, I might have died in the ruins of my house. I thought at that time...it would be great if grandpa had not joined Changfeng Tower."
Uncle Jiu listened quietly to Mu Zi's words. He sighed and said, "Man'er, my grandpa's old life can be given to you."
Mo Changfeng said loudly: "No!"
"Master, there is no need to persuade me, this is my life."
Mo Changfeng stood in front of Mu Zi and said: "Miss Mu, Changfeng Tower feels guilty to you. If you want to take revenge, you can blame me, Mo Changfeng... Your grandfather lost everything for Changfeng Tower. .”
Mu Zi said coldly: "I don't want your life."
