Near noon, the Wu family walked in and saw the boy from the Lu family chatting and laughing with Wu Yuer in the main room.

Their expressions were all the same, and they hesitated to move forward.

Glancing at the young man in the room who was showing extraordinary passion, he had clear eyes and was talking to their sister (daughter) with a smile on his face.

Compared with the young man who showed enthusiasm, the little girl appeared confused and puzzled.

She was like a young man who was not used to treating people coldly, but now he was unusually enthusiastic, so she had to respond politely.

There were guests at noon, and the food was more sumptuous than usual. There were seven people in the Wu family, including the guests.

Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu didn’t come, so Wu Yuer ate slowly and leisurely.

Wu's mother was afraid that the young man would be shy and unable to relax, so she greeted Lu Shengping enthusiastically and urged him to use more words and not to be too polite.

"Come on, try this dish of bacon and wild vegetables. Yu'er has loved it since she was little. It has lots of chili in it, so it's really flavorful."

Farmers do not have the habit of using serving chopsticks. When Wu's mother saw the young man raise his lowered head from the bowl and look at her.

Lu Shengping didn't stay there for long, and his eyes quickly turned to the shiny fried bacon and wild vegetables on the table.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally couldn't resist my curiosity and picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it on the rice. It tasted sweet with the rice.

After dinner, Lu Shengping had no reason to stay. The young man looked listless when he was sent out, but he still tried to cheer himself up to deal with the Wu Mu who was sending him out.

As for Wu Yuer, the little girl asked her brother to call her into the house after dinner.

Before leaving, Lu Shengping pinched the hem of his clothes with his fingers, and taking advantage of the moment when Wu Mu lowered her eyes, he couldn't help but look towards the house on the east side of the yard instinctively.

I didn't dare to stay, for fear of revealing my identity, so I only looked for a moment.

Wu Mu raised her eyelids to look at him, but the alert young man withdrew his gaze, and said goodbye to her politely with a comfortable smile on his lips.

No one in the Wu family understood Lu Sheng's inner thoughts.

"Yu'er, my brother's mask is ready, take a look at it!"

Wu Da's craftsmanship back then was not as good as it is today, as he was in a hurry.

This time, the brother who loved his sister very much carefully polished off the small thorns on the mask and decorated the mask with bright oil paints, which looked very beautiful.

"I didn't have time to ask what this Lu family kid is doing here."

Wu's mother and father came to look for their daughter, and saw that the eldest, second and third sons were all in her room.

Wu Mu saw the red, white and gold mask in her daughter's hand and walked towards her.

"Your daughter saved someone, and they're not the type to take advantage. They came over and gave me a basket of eggs. I can't just let the young man go back."

Several of the younger generation looked up, and Father Wu scratched the back of his neck and said yes with a smile.

Then his attention was focused on the girl holding the mask.

His daughter sat by the bed, her eyes lowered so that no one could see what she was thinking.

Father Wu, who knew without hesitation that she must be in a bad mood at the moment, stopped the sigh that was about to come out of his mouth.

Wu Yuer's disfigurement is not only a pain in her heart, but also an old wound that everyone in the Wu family deliberately buried in their hearts.

So at this moment, facing their daughter who is about to take off her old mask, all the rest of the Wu family can do is to keep pretending everything is fine.

Wu Da: "The dishes in the kitchen are not washed. I'll go wash them."

Wu Er: "I just remembered that the yard is dirty. I'll go sweep it."

Without waiting for the other three to find a chance to escape, Wu Yuer realized that if she wanted to cure her old wounds, she had to remove the rotten flesh in her heart.

Not only her, but also her family members who are unwilling to face it.

The girl, who didn't want to hide for the rest of her life, called out to her brother who was already striding out the door, and she smiled with some relief.

"Oh! So much time has passed, I don't care anymore. Mother, father, brother, you should let go too."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for anyone's reaction, Wu Yuer untied the rope behind the mask without hesitation.

The mask slowly fell in front of everyone in the Wu family. What caught them off guard was the fair and clear complexion of the little girl, with the light shining on half of her flawless face.

It is not difficult for Wu's mother to imagine that if her daughter had not encountered the accident, she would have been the most beautiful girl in Xiaofeng Village and even in Luping Town.

Seeing the girl taking off the complete mask, Wu Yuer's mind suddenly flashed back to the bloody cuts she had made in her early years.

After the wound was bandaged that year, Wu Yuer later wore a mask to cover up the ugliness, and the Wu family could no longer see the old wound.

Not knowing how it was healing, she was so timid that she subconsciously turned her face away and buried it in her husband's arms. After a few breaths, she calmed down her excited and sad emotions.

After finally mustering up the courage to look up, he heard the exclamations of several sons and their father Wu one after another.

"Oh my goodness!"

Wu Da is the boldest. They have been siblings for many years, so how could Wu Da not understand what his sister is thinking?

She let it go, she wanted her family to let it go, she wanted to tell them clearly that everything was over.

We need to look forward. She finally made up her mind and took off the mask she had been using to avoid the various gazes of outsiders.

A second ago, Wu Da, Wu Er, and Wu San had tears in their eyes. Their sister was brave, kind, and hardworking. So what if she was ugly? As long as her heart was not ugly.

The next second, his eyes, filled with tears, widened as he looked at his sisters, Wu Da, Wu Er, and Wu San, who were beautiful like mountain elves but not human, under the mask.

Mom and Dad! I admit that I seemed to be careless.

The girl in front of me looks like a demon, a fairy, and a goblin, but not like a human. How could anyone look like this?

The Wu family couldn't describe it with simple words. All their eyes were fixed on Wu Yuer's face, half of which was covered with branches.

The red branches set off her watery eyes, making her look dreamy and ethereal, like a fairy.

He glanced at his stunned family members one by one, his gaze lingering on their stunned faces.

Wu Yuer, with a slightly frowned brow, stood up and approached the dressing table. She squatted down and the familiar yet unfamiliar look of the woman in the mirror came into her eyes.

Two eyes, a nose, a mouth, she has everything that others have.

What others didn't have was that his fingertips lightly stroked the half of the face possessed by the nightmare. It was red, but strangely not raised. It spread over half of the face, and its presence was very strong.

From that day on, the family members became strange. The open courtyard door of the Wu family was often locked and bolted from the inside.

The neighbors passing by outside were used to looking left and right, and once again saw the locked door of the Wu family, and they muttered to themselves.

"What's going on with the Wu family? They're not even home, why lock the door?"

The farmers' families are not exactly poor, but they are pretty close.

The villagers of Xiaofeng Village are kind. Unless there is no one at home, the door of every house will be open.

So for two or three days, the villagers speculated that the rich son-in-law of the Wu family must have given a lot of silver and money, otherwise why would the Wu family keep the door tightly closed to prevent thieves.

Thinking of the girl from the Wu family returning home, it was normal for her husband to send her food, drinks and some money in carts every day.

Most of the people in Xiaofeng Village were simple and honest, and they just treated the gossip as idle talk and didn't take it seriously. However, they didn't expect that their words would spread to the neighboring village.
