Chapter 209: Lightning Strike



This choice is difficult to accept for all women, but for Hong'er, as long as she has given up, there is nothing she cannot accept.

After her face was ruined, Hong'er sold her house and used the money to open the Sheli Tea Shop in Zhou Yuan.

For so many years, except for saving a pillow book, Hong'er has been living in a daze for many years.

I don’t know if it’s because her face has aged, but Hong’er’s heart has also aged a lot in an instant.

What I was obsessed with before, I now understand clearly.

Everything in the world is fleeting, and everything is determined by fate. Nothing will never change. If you have it, you will lose it.

So over the years, she no longer cared about anything. She wore the most exaggerated clothes, put on the most exaggerated makeup, and had the most exaggerated smile. What others said or did had no effect on her.

Except for that water girl.

That water girl who attracts bees and butterflies. No matter how thoroughly Hong'er thinks about it, she just doesn't like her and doesn't like her.

.......

After Aunt Hong finished speaking, Liang Meng was speechless for a long time.

Liang Meng felt very sympathetic towards Aunt Hong's experience, but after all, what did this have to do with Zhenshu's injury.

"Auntie Hong..."

Liang Meng spoke tentatively, her tone very soft. This was entirely because the anger in her heart was suppressed by Aunt Hong's experience.

She just wants to know about the pillow book now.

"Master, please don't be anxious. Please listen to me."

Aunt Hong understood Liang Meng's worry and anxiety about Zhenshu.

Aunt Hong didn't turn around, her voice slow and firm. Her eyes were still fixed on the door, her hands on her knees tightly clutching her clothes.

Liang Meng looked at the skinny chicken claw-like hands and sighed silently.

As expected, behind every person you look down upon, there may be an experience that is too painful to recall.

......

Hong'er hadn't felt a single regret since she drank the drug that destroyed her appearance. She truly felt that being alone was good.

She really doesn't care about those good-looking appearances.

Loveless, free from worries. Having suffered the most painful emotional pain, being alone is the life she wants most.

But I never expected that the Pillow Book would appear halfway.

I saved him at the time simply because I felt pity for my unborn child.

For so many years, Aunt Hong has always treated Zhenshu as a child, and there has not been a trace of love between men and women. There is no doubt about that.

But the problem is, now this stubborn kid says he loves me, wants to marry me, and wants to be with me forever.

Apart from the initial life-saving grace, the reason why Zhenshu loves Hongyi so passionately is because of this.

The biggest reason was that he knew what happened to Aunt Hong and he was filled with sympathy and a desire to protect her.

Of course, those past events were told to him by Aunt Hong herself.

The reason Hong Yi told him was because of a drunken misconduct. What made Hong Yi regret most was that after she finished crying and confiding in the pillow book, she actually took out a portrait of herself from the past.

It was drawn for her by the man she loved a long time ago.

He drew many pictures for her at that time, but later he was heartbroken and burned them in a fire, leaving only this last one.

The person in the portrait is beautiful and lovely, wearing a light pink long dress, wandering among the flowers, with joy and happiness in her eyes and eyebrows.

That sweet and lovely look was like the flapping wings of a butterfly, which instantly touched Zhenshu's proud heart.

The next day, after Hong Yi sobered up, Zhen Shu asked her about it. Of course, Hong Yi refused to say another word, but she really underestimated Zhen Shu's persistence.

I kept asking her if this appearance could be changed back.

Aunt Hong said no, but Zhenshu didn't believe her and pestered her, insisting that she tell him how to change her appearance.

Finally, being forced into a corner, Aunt Hong said something to him half-truthfully.

"If you want to regain your beauty, you must return to the mountain where you were from, find that person, and find the antidote."

In fact, Aunt Hong was not lying to him. Before she took the medicine from that man and drank it all, that man told her that if she wanted to regain her beauty in the future, she could come to him again.

But the problem is that the man traveled all over the world and did not stay in just one mountain.

Finding him is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

The most important thing is that if you want to get this appearance back, the price you pay will be greater than destroying your own face.

I thought that after such a harsh rejection and the extremely difficult search, Zhenshu would definitely give up.

There are so many pretty girls out there, but no one can really be attracted by an old face.

In fact, Aunt Hong didn’t know that the reason why Zhenshu fell in love with her was not because of the so-called life-saving grace.

It was the tenderness and gentleness that Aunt Hong inadvertently showed during their daily interactions. Especially after learning about Aunt Hong's experiences, he felt a genuine pity for her.

This is not Aunt Hong's charm, but Hong'er's charm.

It is shocking that Zhenshu falls in love with Aunt Hong, but it is not surprising that Zhenshu falls in love with Honger.

But Aunt Hong's feelings towards Zhenshu have always been one of disbelief, disobedience and rejection.

Zhenshu is young and full of energy, but her love life has been so bumpy, which is really frustrating. It's just because of the age difference between us. Since your beauty can be cured, I'll find it for you.

When age is no longer an excuse for refusal, I will see how much you refuse.

Once you get into a dead end in love, it is extremely easy to take things for granted.

Zhenshu thought that Aunt Hong rejected him only because of their age difference. Little did he know that love is a matter between two people.

Besides age, there is another sentence: I don’t love you.

With such strong arrogance, the next day after leaving Yunmeng Hall, Zhenshu ran to the mountain that Aunt Hong mentioned alone to look for the antidote.

When Aunt Hong saw the note left by Zhenshu, she was completely shocked.

There are wild beasts roaming around in the mountains, and there are dangers everywhere.

The key point is that the mountain is located in Zhou Yuan's barrier. If Zhenshu breaks in, the people guarding the barrier will not recognize him and he might be mistaken for an enemy and killed.

Aunt Hong was so anxious that she didn't even have time to put on her clothes before she ran out of the dormitory.

Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, Aunt Hong was still too late. By the time she found the pillow book, it had become what it was now: charred all over, its eyes tightly closed, lying motionless on the ground.

It was bad luck for Zhenshu as the spirits came to the barrier to cause trouble some time ago. After Yun Xuchen arrived and killed them, he also used his spiritual power to strengthen the barrier.

The pillow book was bumping around here and there, and by chance, it bumped into the mechanism that triggered the barrier.

A sudden bolt of lightning struck the pillow book, turning it into this state.

A lightning strike, let alone a child like Zhenshu who has no spiritual power at all, even someone with Yun Xuchen's skills would lose half his life if he didn't die.

In fact, with Zhenshu's small physique, that blow would have killed him instantly. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the guards guarding the barrier urgently set up a protective shield, although using it to resist the powerful lightning was simply nonsense.

But fortunately, the pillow book's breath was finally protected.
