Chapter 81 Little Red Riding Hood
Xiaowan?
Wen Wan blinked her eyes, looking confused.
This person shouldn't be calling him. Is there also a girl named Xiaowan around?
This was Wen Wan's first reaction, so she didn't respond at all.
"Xiao Wan?"
The man called out again, and this time, his tone was filled with worry.
Wen Wan didn't move until the person in front of her raised his hand, waved it in front of her, and then raised his voice in surprise.
"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Well, her name is Xiaowan, her eyesight is not very good, and she is probably the only one around.
It's not a coincidence, this person really knows her.
Wen Wan remained expressionless and rubbed her eyes deliberately. "Sorry, I'm blind. Do you know me? May I ask who you are..."
Perhaps the word "blind" had too much of an impact on the person in front of him.
The man didn't respond for a long time. When he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly.
"They, they actually..." He choked, as if suppressing his anger, "I'm Meng Jin, you... don't remember?"
Of course she didn't remember, she was not the original owner at all.
When she came into this world, she was already a concubine in the general's mansion. Apart from the young sisters in the general's mansion, she didn't know anyone else.
It seems that being blind is not a bad thing. At least when facing acquaintances, she can legitimately say that she can't recognize them.
"Uh...you see, I'm injured, so..." Wen Wan hesitated.
"Lost your memory too?" the man asked in a deep voice.
That's what you said.
Wen Wan didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.
She couldn't see it, but Shen Zhou could see it clearly.
Although the man in front of her was wearing the makeup of a Hua Dan, his facial features were delicate and upright, and he must have an extraordinary appearance. From the moment he saw Sister Xiaowan, he stared at her with his eyes, and the affection in his eyes could not be hidden.
And now, when he heard that Wen Wan was not only blind but also had lost her memory, his whole body swayed, as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
"Meng Jin! It's your turn to go on stage again. Hurry up."
The boss in the distance was urging us on.
Meng Jin looked at Xiao Wan reluctantly and said, "Wait for me here. I have something to tell you later."
After he left, Wen Wan pulled Chen Zhou's arm.
"let's go."
Chen Zhou was stunned. "Ah? That person seems to know you. Do you really not need to wait for him?"
"No."
Wen Wan answered straightforwardly.
She is an acquaintance of the original owner, but not hers. Let her go. Too much contact will only cause trouble.
Chen Zhou naturally listened to Wen Wan, so he helped her walk out of the crowd.
It took great effort for the two of them to squeeze out of the crowd.
Wen Wan took Chen Zhou to buy some snacks before returning home.
*
Wen Wan didn't go out for the next few days.
At least she didn't plan to go out again until the opera troupe left the border town.
After returning that day, Wen Wan thought about it carefully. Judging from Meng Jin's reaction, it seemed that he had a close relationship with the original owner.
Her life is pretty good now. She finally has a new identity and can live freely for herself, but she doesn't want to be involved in any more messy things.
This little episode passed quickly, and soon Chen Zhou got news that the opera troupe had left the border town three days ago.
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, the alarm was finally lifted.
That afternoon, Chen Zhou happily said that a new pastry shop had opened on Xiaofeng Street. It was said that the food was delicious and there was a long line at the door.
Wen Wan's appetite was aroused, and she clamored to try it.
Agui was there today and could accompany her, so they took Chen Zhou with them and headed straight for Xiaofeng Street.
When we arrived, we saw a line in front of the small pastry shop that stretched all the way to the street corner.
Chen Zhou: "Such a long line, why don't I wait in line here and you guys go to the teahouse next door to rest."
Wen Wan blocked the sunlight with her hands and said, "Okay."
Although the spring sun is not very strong, you will still get tanned if you stay in the sun for a long time.
So Wen Wan and Agui turned and walked into the tea room opposite.
There were quite a few people in the teahouse, and the hall on the first floor was full. The waiter in the shop led the two to the private room on the second floor.
It was a secluded private room with a large window facing the back street.
I don’t know if it’s because this room is rarely used, but there is a faint musty smell in the room.
Agui frowned, stood up and opened the window completely.
The waiter went to make tea. After a while, there was a noisy sound coming from next door, as if someone was arguing.
Agui opened the door to take a look, and was about to close the door when the waiter grabbed Agui's hand and begged.
"Brother, there's a person injured next door. Could you please help carry him to the clinic? The clinic is very close, just at the corner of the street, just a few steps away."
As for the matter of lending a hand, Agui was a tall and strong man, so it was understandable that the waiter begged him for help.
Agui was thinking about Wen Wan and looked back hesitantly.
The waiter saw his concern and said, "Brother, this girl is in our store. She can't be lost. Close the door and make sure no one comes to disturb her. Human life is at stake. Please help her."
Agui hesitated, "Miss Xiaowan, how about... I'll be back soon?"
"Okay." Wen Wan responded.
Ah Gui followed the waiter out and closed the door behind him. He was worried and reminded her, "Miss Xiao Wan, please bolt the door and don't open it for anyone."
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead."
Wen Wan shook her head and smiled faintly, remembering the story of the boy who cried wolf. Before her grandmother left, she repeatedly warned her not to open the door to strangers.
She is such a grown-up, not a child anymore, how could she get lost in just a few minutes?
In broad daylight, in the open, if they don't have to be on such guard, how can they live a normal life?
Even though she thought so, Wen Wan still obediently bolted the door.
She had just returned to sit by the window and hadn't had time to take a sip of hot tea when a figure leaped in from the window.
Wen Wan: “…”
It turns out that we should not be too sure about what we say. The door is closed, but the window is still open?
Who could have thought of this?
She gathered her sleeves and her fingers quietly touched the dagger.
"Xiao Wan..."
A familiar voice sounded, carrying with it a heavy, undisguised affection.
It’s Meng Jin!
The voice was so pleasant that she recognized it immediately.
She pursed her lips, rubbed her eyes calmly, and pretended that she couldn't see anything.
"You are...Meng Jin?"
Meng Jin smiled when he heard her calling his name.
"It's me."
He excitedly stepped forward and held her hands, "Xiao Wan, I'll take you away."
Wen Wan's scalp felt numb.
No, brother, who are you to take her away?
Wen Wan pulled her hand free. "I don't even remember you. How can I go with you? Besides, I'm living a good life now. Where can I go?"
"Fine?" Meng Jin snorted coldly, "You're blind, and you call that fine? You've completely forgotten me, the person you grew up with, and you call that fine?"
