Chapter 313 Past Events

Yin Huaixi was standing next to Li Xiao and noticed his abnormality at the first moment.

Using the tabletop as a shield, she reached out and touched Li Xiao's clenched fist. The next moment, Li Xiao seemed to sober up a little, loosened his fist and held her hand in his.

Li Xiao knew that the man in front of him was the one who harmed his sister, and he almost lost his mind and rushed over to beat him to death.

Fortunately, I woke up.

Anan is still here, he can't let Anan see it. He also can't let this Bei know that Anan is his daughter.

So no matter how much he hated her, he had to try hard to calm himself down.

Holding the hand of his beloved, his rationality returned to him.

"Master Bei, I just thought about it carefully, and there is no one named Xiangli in the village."

Bei Rong stood there in a daze, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Think about it carefully. At her age, she might have already been married."

That unique accent is so rare.

Bei Rong didn't want to be disappointed again, so he could only place his hopes on Uncle Anan.

"Really not. I have lived in the village for more than 30 years, and I know every family's name in the village. Even if they are married, I still know their names. There is indeed no one named Xiangli."

Li Xiao felt so angry that his teeth itched, but he still held back his anger and sent Bei Rong away.

"Besides, Master Bei, you also said that the girl is thirty-two this year. Girls of this age should have married and had children. Now they may be living in harmony with their spouses. Why do you have to ask about them and cause gossip?"

Bei Rong knew that what Li Xiao said made sense, but he just couldn't let it go.

He really wanted to marry Xiangli, and even made arrangements to move the business to Hailing.

Who would have thought that during his return trip to Gaojia, his uncle passed away and there was a power struggle in the family, so he saved his younger brother from the disaster.

First he had his hands and feet cut off and suffered torture, then he was nearly burned to death.

Because of inhaling too much smoke, he lay in bed for several years before he regained consciousness.

That's why I missed her.

If Xiangli really gets married and lives a happy life, he will give her his blessings and leave.

But if she didn't marry well, I might still have a chance...

Bei Rong felt sour and bitter in his heart. Normally, he would have shed tears all over the floor. But now he couldn't cry, and his red eyes looked very pitiful.

"Uncle Anan, I won't disturb her. I just want to know how she is doing now. Can you take me to your village? Or tell me the address of the village and I will go there by myself?"

He still believed that Xiangli was from the same village as Uncle Anan.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth and refused.

How could he possibly bring this man back to his tribe?

Don't even think about it.

"Mr. Bei, if you don't believe what I say, then ask Anan. Ask her if there is a girl named Xiangli in the village."

Bei Rong subconsciously looked at Anan, who shook his head quickly.

"I know the names of everyone in the tribe and the village. There is indeed no aunt named Xiangli. Mr. Bei, Lizhou Island is so big, you should go somewhere else and look carefully."

Anan’s words made Beirong very sad.

Because he subconsciously believed that Anan would not lie.

Seeing hope right before his eyes, but shattered again, Bei Rong lost all his energy.

To be honest, this matter was indeed a misunderstanding, so Yin Huaixi didn't intend to pursue it any further. He loosened the rope on Chai Laoer and let his brother help the man away.

They were people who often engaged in fighting, so they certainly had plenty of medicine. So Yin Huaixi didn't waste her ointment.

After Mr. Bei and his friends left, Yin Huaixi pulled Li Xiao out of the door.

This time, she didn't go to the tree, but directly pulled Li Xiao to the beach.

The beach and the sea are clearly separated under the moonlight, and there is nothing around, so you can talk without worrying about being overheard.

"Huai Xi, why did you bring me here? What if we were seen by the villagers..."

"If you see it, then you can say that you and I are engaged. Unmarried couples are just walking by the beach, and they haven't done anything bad. Who can say anything?"

Li Xiao felt that something was not right, but since his lover said it was okay, it was okay. If he could really meet the person, he would have more status, which he wanted more than anything else.

"Okay, there's no one here. Can you tell me why you reacted so strongly just now?"

Li Xiao was silent.

"If it's something that can't be said, then you don't have to say it."

Yin Huaixi didn't necessarily want to find out the secret. She just felt that Li Xiao was in great pain just now and wanted to comfort him.

"There's nothing to hide. In fact, many people in the tribe know about this."

Li Xiao talked about his sister.

"You know I have a little sister, her name is Li Xiang."

Something in Yin Huaixi's brain moved, and he thought of something and was suddenly shocked.

"She was very lively since she was a child, and was really like Anan. She would sneak down the mountain to learn the language of the people down there, and would even be brave enough to get things from the mountain to trade with the people down there. When she was seventeen, she ran away and met a man, and they soon got together and even said they wanted to get married."

Yin Huaixi could already guess what would happen next.

"But the man disappeared. She went back to the mountain with a big belly. She didn't allow me to go down the mountain to look for the man, and she never mentioned anything about the mountain again. She was not in good health after giving birth. She was always sick, and later she got sick and died of coughing up blood."

"She left a will, saying that Anan was not allowed to go down the mountain. But I really couldn't control that girl. She always found opportunities to sneak away when I was busy. I wanted to really punish her, but when I saw her tears, I thought of her mother who had passed away early, and I couldn't do it."

Li Xiao clenched the little hand in his hand a little tighter.

"You should have guessed it. The man surnamed Bei is the one who abandoned my little sister."

Yin Huaixi nodded, but still couldn't help but say something more.

"That Bei Rong, the old injuries on his body are at least ten years old, and the burns on his face were also many years ago. If he didn't come back to see your sister in time because of some unavoidable difficulties, would you forgive him?"

Li Xiao shook his head firmly.

"From the moment he took my little sister's innocence without any matchmaking or betrothal, he was an irresponsible man. My little sister is already dead, I will never forgive him, and I will never let him know that Anan is his daughter."

Yin Huaixi sighed in her heart. It was really hard to let go of this old grudge.

"My Lord, I just noticed something..."

After returning to the yard, Chai Lao San saw the sad look on the eldest son's face and couldn't help but speak.

"What is it?"

"I noticed that when you mentioned the lady's name just now, Miss Anan's uncle's face instantly turned ugly. Although he adjusted quickly, I still noticed the bulging veins on his forehead."

This was a very angry expression, he could not be wrong.
