He held a wooden dagger in his hand and slashed it through the air, letting out a terrifying roar.
Chi Mu reacted quickly and pulled Shen Yuerong back, protecting her in his arms, and coldly scolded the figure.
"who!!"
The man's hair covered his face, he was dirty, and wore tattered clothes made of coarse cloth. In short, he looked like a young beggar.
Seeing this, Shen Yuerong frowned and looked over, holding Chi Mu's arm, and slowly approached him tentatively.
"Who are you and why are you in my house?"
The other person stood there, twitched his nose, and answered in a hoarse voice: “This is my home!
Seeing that the person on the other side was speaking clearly, Shen Yuerong continued to ask questions.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you, just calm down."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Yuerong. Have you heard of my name?"
Originally, Shen Yuerong thought that this man would be harmless, but she didn't expect that the moment he heard her name, he would keep waving the wooden dagger in his hand and roaring at her.
He shook his head and waved his hands, shouting out of control: "Go away!"
Chi Mu hurriedly pulled Shen Yuerong back and whispered, "Let's step back first. He looks like he has a headache."
In the dim secret room, the man opposite covered his head, but the wooden dagger in his hand was still waving.
"Go away, go away!!
After Shen Yuerong and the others retreated, he shrank into the corner and did not make any more moves, just staring in their direction vigilantly.
Shen Yuerong carefully looked at the young man in front of her, and suddenly saw the birthmark on his wrist, and was stunned.
Even though the other person was dirty, the round turtle-like birthmark on his wrist was very obvious.
At that moment, Shen Yuerong's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and her mind kept recalling the past.
The little nephew Shen Chenchuan had just been born, and she was still young, so she wanted to bring soup to her sister-in-law.
As a result, her nephew's wrist was accidentally burned by her. Her brother and sister-in-law did not blame her, but asked her to take better care of her nephew in the future.
From then on, Shen Yuerong would basically take her little nephew with her wherever she went.
The little turtle mark remains on my nephew's wrist.
She took two steps forward, wanting to confirm the birthmark on the other person's wrist. She felt both excited and a little scared, afraid that her hopes would be dashed.
At the same time, a dense pain surged in my heart. It was because I failed to protect Chenchen that this happened.
Shen Yuerong's heart was pounding. She walked closer slowly. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She tried to speak twice but failed.
She stretched out her hand, but before she could say anything, tears started to fall, and her beautiful face was covered with tears.
“Chenchen…”
Chi Mu held Shen Yuerong tightly in his arms, looking at the young man in front of him in surprise, recalling everything that had happened in the Shen family in his mind.
When the Shen family's brother and sister-in-law went out to worship in a temple, they accidentally encountered a mudslide. After narrowly escaping, they encountered refugees making trouble. Unexpectedly, they still managed to survive the disaster.
In the end, he was tragically killed by a bandit's knife a few hundred meters away from the city gate.
However, all of this was described by their servants who escaped death and returned, and the results of subsequent investigations were basically consistent.
No one suspected anything.
When Shen Yuerong called out like this, the young man was stunned, staring at her with a pair of dark and numb eyes.
“You, who are you?”
Hearing this, Shen Yuerong felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Her little nephew actually didn't remember her...
He was just over three years old when the accident happened. Logically, he should have remembered himself.
But now he looked dazed and it was hard for me to imagine what he had been through.
Shen Yuerong didn't know what had happened at the time, but she still reached out her hand, wanting to take her nephew back.
Shen Chenchuan stared at Shen Yuerong's face, and suddenly moved closer, and suddenly a crisp bell sounded.
He was so scared that he grabbed Shen Yuerong's hand suddenly, leaving a large red mark on his fair wrist, and he was feeling intense pain.
Shen Yuerong burst into tears immediately. Her heart hurt more than the pain in her wrist.
After so many years, he actually survived alone.
She reached out to Chen Chenchuan with a choked voice, her voice filled with tears.
"Chenchen, I'll take you home."
The crisp sound of bells rang again, and the candlelight in the secret room kept flickering. Shen Chenchuan looked around in horror and let out a sharp cry.
Before Shen Yuerong could say anything, Shen Chenchuan crawled on the ground like a wild beast and ran quickly in one direction.
Shen Yuerong wanted to chase him, but she ended up watching Shen Chenchuan push away the smooth wall and disappear.
She hurried forward and tried to push it open, but she couldn't.
"Chenchen, I'm your aunt, please open the door!"
Her calls echoed in the secret room, but the other party did not respond at all.
Chi Mu stepped forward to help find the mechanism and spoke with a very serious expression.
"This mechanism is probably not simple. If it is destroyed by force, there will be problems in the secret room."
"Let's leave here first—Rong'er."
He called out one last time, reaching out to hold Shen Yuerong's shoulders, his eyes revealing a firm and reassuring strength.
Hearing Chi Mu's call, Shen Yuerong gradually calmed down and looked at him with red eyes.
At that moment of eye contact, Shen Yuerong immediately understood the meaning of Chi Mu's eyes and nodded.
"Let's leave first. Chenchen will definitely not be willing to leave."
The tacit understanding between the two allowed them to communicate without saying a word.
Shen Yuerong nodded, wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief, and smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Chi Muqing smiled: "What are you talking about? I am happy with it. Let's go out first and find some people to come and have a look."
So Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu left the secret room together, and did not forget to blow out all the oil lamps in the secret room.
As the footsteps of Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu faded away, a figure slowly walked out of the dark secret room and peered towards the door.
Shen Chenchuan blinked his eyes and murmured softly: "Shen Yuerong - my head hurts!"
"I just remember looking for my aunt——"
Who is Shen Yuerong? How come he can't remember anything? What's his name...
He wanted to recall things about Shen Yuerong, but instead he had a splitting headache, as if someone was hitting his head with a hammer.
Finally, Shen Chenchuan shook his head, trying to dispel the pain, then walked to the table, squatted on a chair and started eating the cold food.
He murmured, "When will Huahua come..."
After finishing his meal, Shen Chenchuan went back to bed in the dark. Just as he was about to take a rest, the curtain in front of him was suddenly pulled open.
Shen Yuerong was grabbing his hand, and the silver needle in her hand fell quickly on his body, while speaking in a gentle tone.
"Don't move, just listen to me."
But his eyes were filled with pain and fear, and all the bad memories of the past came to his mind.
Shen Chenchuan screamed and struggled frantically, picking up something and throwing it at Shen Yuerong!
