Chapter 202 The Instigator



Zhuifeng kept barking, seemingly trying to get out of the cattle pen, but it was tied up and couldn't get out, so it kept pacing anxiously in the pen.

Gu Yun Chu then realized that Zhui Feng was acting strangely.

Just as he was about to go over and comfort Zhuifeng, he was almost tripped by a pair of legs.

Looking up, I was surprised to see my sister pushing a person in a stroller.

Gu Yun Chu stammered, pointing at the person in the car, "Sister...sister, what is this...what is this?!"

Li Tiansheng looked in the direction Gu Yunchu pointed and then noticed the person in the cart.

Gu Lili turned off her flashlight to avoid disturbing her family, and the dim moonlight made it difficult to spot her.

Gu Lili told the two of them what had happened that night, saying, "Third Uncle, Yun Chu, I saw this person when I was feeling down tonight and went for a walk by the sea. Saving him is the priority, so please help me move him into the house quickly."

Upon hearing what Gu Lili said, Gu Yun Chu and Li Tian Sheng quickly moved the person into the house.

The two then realized that the man was not wearing any clothes and was wrapped in a tattered cloth.

Li Tiansheng went back to his room, found his own change of clothes, and together with Gu Yunchu, helped the man change his clothes.

Gu Lili also went back to her room and changed into a clean set of clothes.

After changing her clothes, Gu Lili went to the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) to check on the person's condition.

“Sister, this person has a huge bump on their head!” Gu Yun Chu said, pointing to the man’s head.

Gu Lili nodded, suddenly realizing why she had fainted.

She never imagined that she herself was the instigator.

This person is still unconscious, doesn't know what to say, and doesn't know where it hurts. This is really a bit tricky.

"Lili, you go to sleep first. Yun Chu and I will stay here and keep watch. We'll talk about everything after everyone wakes up!" Li Tiansheng said.

Gu Lili thought about it and realized that it made sense; if the person didn't wake up, there was no way to get any information out of them.

"Alright, Third Uncle, Yun Chu, if there's any commotion, just come and call me!" Gu Lili said.

She bought some ginseng slices from her spatial storage and had Gu Yun Chu give them to the man to suck on, then went back to her room to sleep.

When they went out, Zhuifeng quieted down. However, when Gu Lili shone her flashlight over, she found it looking worriedly into the room with the heated brick bed.

Gu Lili didn't think much of it, assuming that she had just returned too late and startled Zhui Feng. She yawned; after a whole night of tossing and turning, sleepiness finally crept in.

Gu Lili slept soundly until dawn, and when she saw the sun shining into the room, she quickly got dressed and got up.

I wonder how the person I rescued last night is doing.

Gu Lili didn't even bother to wash up before rushing towards the room with the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed).

However, just as he stepped into the courtyard, Gu Yun Chu called out to him.

"Sister, come quick!"

Gu Yun Chu stood at the kitchen doorway, looking as if she was about to cry.

Gu Lili thought something had happened and quickly went to the kitchen.

Looking inside, Gu Lili couldn't help but swallow hard.

Last night, the man she rescued was sitting at the table having dinner.

Grandma Li and Li Tiansheng in front of him were staring wide-eyed at him as he ate. Seeing the several empty bowls in front of him, they must have eaten quite a bit.

Even when Gu Lili came in, he didn't bother to look up at her.

Although he ate very quickly, his movements were inexplicably elegant, and he even made a sound while drinking porridge.

This man was clearly taller than my third uncle, because his clothes were noticeably shorter.

Gu Yun Chu said, "Sister, after this person woke up, he started looking for food, and he almost ate all of our breakfast!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lili's lips twitched involuntarily. No wonder Gu Yun Chu was crying.

Li Tiansheng had already told Grandma Li about Gu Lili saving people last night, so she didn't ask Gu Lili about it now.

"Grandma, you can't let him eat any more. If he eats any more, he might have a problem!" Gu Lili said to Grandma Li.

Judging from the way this person eats, they've clearly been starving for a long time.

Gu Lili was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle eating so much at once.

Fortunately, Grandma Li cooked porridge this morning, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Grandma Li was about to serve him more porridge, but when she heard what Gu Lili said, she quickly stopped what she was doing.

This kid is really pitiful. I don't know what he went through to be so hungry.

After finishing the porridge in his hand, the man finally found a moment to lift his head.

To Gu Lili's surprise, although the man in front of her was thin and dark-skinned, his facial features were quite handsome.

If this happened in modern times, she'd probably be a celebrity or something.

Seeing him look up, Gu Lili asked, "Where are you from? What's your name? How did you end up in the sea?"

However, the man in front of him frowned when he heard Gu Lili ask this question.

He couldn't remember who he was or where he lived.

He could only shake his head.

Gu Lili said with some regret, "So he's mute!"

The man was clearly displeased when Gu Lili said he was mute.

"I'm not... I'm not mute!" the man said in a hoarse voice.

He had been adrift at sea for a long time, and he had almost forgotten how to speak.

Gu Lili scratched her head awkwardly and laughed, "Okay, okay, you're not mute, but how come you don't even know your own name!"

Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be faking it.

Could it be amnesia?

Gu Lili carefully examined the man in front of her. Judging from his age, he should be about the same age as Li Tiansheng.

well!

If his three uncles got lost, his grandparents would be extremely worried.

The man's parents must be very worried.

"I...I don't remember anything!" the man said, clutching his head in pain.

At this moment, the only memory he had was waking up and eating; he couldn't recall anything else no matter how hard he tried.

Gu Yun Chu said anxiously, "Sister, what should we do?"

Gu Lili also wanted to know what to do. Although the man had woken up, he didn't remember anything.

When she rescued him, he was naked and had nothing on him to prove his identity.

Even if we tried to find his relatives, we would be completely clueless. We couldn't just drive him away, that would be like saving him for nothing.

Right now, Gu Lili's sugar factory is very busy, so why not have him stay and work?

Once he remembers, we'll help him find his family.

"Why don't you stay at my house and help with the chores for now? Once you remember where you live, you can go back home. We'll also keep an eye out for anyone looking for you," Gu Lili asked tentatively.

Gu Yun Chu muttered under her breath, "What can this dark and skinny guy do?"

And he can still eat so much!

After listening to Gu Lili's words, the man thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Alright! Thank you, young lady!"
