After failing her tribulation, Yun Mojiu returned to her previous life, the one where she had committed suicide by wrist-slashing. She was forced by her husband, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, and t...
Chapter 215 The Hunchback Old Man
"Um."
Knowing what the old lady wanted to say, the old man nodded with red eyes.
Seeing that the two had a lot to talk about, the eldest sister hurriedly pulled her daughter out of the house.
"You two, I'll take you to the living room. They should need quite a bit of time to chat."
The eldest sister said with a smile.
Yun Mojiu nodded, "It's troublesome."
"Hey, what's the trouble?"
The eldest sister's face was full of smiles.
"Our small fishing village is not often visited by outsiders. Seeing one or two new faces is refreshing, especially since you are so beautiful. Looking at you more often will make your life longer."
Yun Mojiu was amused by her elder sister's words.
This elder sister is quite interesting.
Enthusiastic and good at chatting.
Even Xiao Junhe couldn't help but raise his lips.
"Please sit down first. I'll pour you a cup of our special tea. Drink it and it will clear your heat and quench your thirst."
After entering the living room, the eldest sister came over to help pour water.
The living room is the first room on the left.
There are windows in the front and back, and the room is very bright.
The living room is furnished with a wooden sofa, a wooden table and several wooden chairs.
There is a TV in front of the sofa.
Although the house is not big, it is decorated very warmly.
There is also a photo wall on the wall, with wind chimes made of shells hanging on it, as well as many family photos.
There are times when fishing and times when working.
But the most common photos are of the eldest sister’s daughter’s growth.
There are relatively few from childhood, most of them are from recent years.
As he looked, Yun Mojiu's attention was instantly attracted by one of the photos.
She moved closer.
In that photo, the eldest sister's daughter was walking on the street of an ancient street, holding an ice cream in her hand and smiling happily.
There are shops on both sides of the street, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
This is a selfie, but there are many passers-by behind me.
Yun Mojiu's gaze remained on the person on the right side behind his eldest sister's daughter.
The man was wearing a black Tang-style robe. The robe was very long and covered his entire body.
He was wearing a pair of round glasses, a bit like the ones a fortune teller wears.
But these are not what Yun Mojiu is concerned about.
What Yun Mojiu cared about was his slightly bent body, arched back, and the mole at the right corner of his mouth!
Isn’t this image exactly the same as the madman described by the witch?
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Junhe walked up to her.
Yun Mojiu pointed at the photo and said, "Look at this."
Xiao Junhe looked over in confusion.
When he saw the person in the photo, the corners of his eyebrows raised.
"You mean this old man is the one we're looking for?"
"It's very likely."
There are many people with hunchbacks, and there are also many people with moles on the right corner of their mouth.
But it is not easy to find someone who possesses these two characteristics at the same time.
"Come on, have some tea."
The eldest sister came over with a smile and handed the tea to Yun Mojiu and Xiao Junhe.
"Sister, can we ask your daughter something?" Yun Mojiu asked.
The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, I'll go call her."
My daughter went to the kitchen to cut fruit.
The eldest sister went out for a while and came back with the girl.
"Just ask if you have anything."
The eldest sister walked to the wooden sofa with the fruit, placed the cut fruit on the coffee table, and smiled.
The girl stood aside, looking at Yun Mojiu and Xiao Junhe with some curiosity.
This sister and brother are so beautiful.
But what will they ask themselves?
Is it about Grandma Hua?
But she had just returned home, so it would be better to ask her parents about Grandma Hua.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Yun Mojiu pointing at the photo on the wall.
"Excuse me, where was this photo of yours taken?"
Yun Mojiu asked politely.
The girl was a little surprised.
She didn't expect that Yun Mojiu would actually ask about the photos.
She stared at the photo.
"This one was taken two months ago when I went on a trip with my college classmates to an ancient town called Jiezi Ancient Town."
"Do you have any impression of this person?"
Yun Mojiu pointed at the hunchbacked old man again.
The girl looked in the direction of Yun Mojiu's fingertips and moved forward.
She frowned in thought.
"This person..."
She shook her head. "I'm sorry, I can't remember."
"fine."
Yun Mojiu also knew that this photo was just taken casually.
With so many people around, the chances of her remembering anything were slim.
She was just trying to ask.
“Can I take a picture of this?”
After Yun Mojiu asked, he pointed at the hunchbacked old man and added a sentence.
"Don't worry, we won't take any pictures of you. We just want to find this person."
"Yeah, sure."
The girl smiled and nodded.
Yun Mojiu took the photos and sent them to Chen Yan and Tong Rou.
Let them check the people in the photos.
Xiao Junhe also asked Jian An to help investigate.
After sending the message and waiting for a while, the old man and the old lady came over.
Both of their eyes were a little red.
But compared to before, the old man's mood was obviously calmer.
He bowed deeply to his elder sister.
"Thank you all for saving my wife's life and taking care of her. This is a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it."
He took a check.
It says ten million.
He bowed to Yun Mojiu again.
"And thank you, my friend, for saving me and leading me to my wife."
He handed another check to Yun Mojiu.
It also says 10 million.
"What's this?"
My eldest sister had never seen a check before and was a little confused.
But her daughter recognized it and whispered something in her ear.
After listening, the eldest sister waved her hands.
"No, no, no, we just did a little favor. How can we charge you so much money? No, no, we can't accept it."
"Compared to your life-saving grace, this little money is nothing."
The old man let out a long sigh.
"You don't know, just an hour or two ago, I almost committed suicide."
He smiled and said, "You are my wife and I's saviors. Because of you, we survived and were reunited. If it weren't for you..."
His voice was choked with sobs, and he didn't finish the rest of his words.
But everyone understood what he meant.
"this..."
The eldest sister was a little embarrassed.
She and her husband really just do it right.
They would have saved anyone.
When they saved people, they never thought about asking for anything in return.
Besides, she wouldn't feel safe holding so much money.
Before she could figure out what to do, she saw Yun Mojiu reaching out to take it.
"Please accept it. The old man won't be at peace if you don't." Yun Mojiu smiled at her.
The old man also agreed with a smile, "Yes, this girl is right, once something is given away, there is no reason to take it back.
Come on, take it, big sister. If you don’t, I’ll stay here with you.”
"Then...then should I really accept it?" The eldest sister was still a little embarrassed.
"Take it, don't worry, this amount of money is not a lot of money for me, I will feel at ease if you take it."
