Chapter 237 Do you remember me?
He Zhiran looked at Madam Mo and Fifth Sister-in-law.
"Mother, Fifth Sister-in-law, please try to tell Fifth Brother some of the happy things that happened in the past, and try to help him get over his pain."
After hearing what the ninth brother's wife said, the fifth sister-in-law no longer cared about her image.
He took off his shoes in front of everyone and climbed to the inside of the kang, while Mrs. Mo sat on the other side.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged Mo Zhongyuan's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
"Chongyuan, do you remember when you were sixteen? Mother had her eyes on the eldest daughter of the Chen family and wanted to ask someone to help arrange a marriage between her and you, but you refused to agree.
Later, after my mother repeatedly asked, you said you liked a girl..."
Hearing this, the fifth brother's painful expression eased a lot. He said softly, "It's Jia Jia. I like Jia Jia, so I don't want to marry the eldest daughter of the Chen family."
When the fifth sister-in-law heard her husband say her name, tears rolled down her face again like pearls from a broken string.
She hugged Mo Zhongyuan's arms tightly and choked up, "Husband, look at me, I am Jia Jia..."
Mo Zhongyuan seemed to hear a familiar voice and instinctively looked at his wife who was crying bitterly.
When he met those clear eyes, the fifth brother hugged her in his arms.
"Jia Jia, it's my Jia Jia."
The fifth sister-in-law was crying inconsolably at this moment.
"Husband...husband...you remember me, don't you?"
At this moment, Mo Zhongyuan had his beloved wife in his arms and could no longer escape the facts.
"Well, now I remember, you are my wife, my Jiajia..."
When the women in the family saw this scene, they all wiped away their tears.
The eighth sister-in-law was better off. Mo Chuhan did not lose his memory and treated him as before. The couple was now very loving to each other. The only regrettable thing was that they did not have a child yet.
Even though the third sister-in-law knew that her husband was still alive, she had not yet made this matter public at home. Moreover, her husband met her briefly and then left. Now she had no idea where he was, and she was worried every day.
Seeing her fifth brother and his wife, the third sister-in-law missed her husband even more.
The mood of the other sisters-in-law was completely different. They dreamed of their husbands coming back to life. Now that they saw Mo Zhongyuan and his wife reunited, they were extremely envious.
Mo Hanyue held onto Madam Mo and choked up, "Mother, Fifth Brother really remembers..."
Madam Mo nodded while crying: "Well, he remembered."
After a long time, everyone's emotions finally stabilized a little.
Considering that the fifth brother was out of control when he woke up, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask about his past.
Mo Zhongyuan seemed to have thought about his previous situation, but after communicating with his wife and mother, his emotions had gradually stabilized. When he thought about the unbearable past, he seemed to be able to bear it.
He looked at everyone in the room and said, "It was my recklessness back then that led me to fall for the treacherous schemes of the people from Southern Xinjiang. I stumbled into their trap and was tortured."
Everyone's eyes were on Mo Zhongyuan. They knew that he was going to tell about that experience.
The fifth brother continued, “Back then, I led a group of men to chase the defeated bandits from Southern Xinjiang, but we fell into a trap they had set.
Many of the people I brought with me were shot to death by their arrows. I wanted to rescue them, but I was alone and my horse was frightened and I could not control it at all. The frightened horse took me deep into the valley.
Just when I felt something was wrong and was about to abandon my horse and flee, a white smoke suddenly appeared and I lost consciousness instantly.
When I woke up again, I was chained in a cell. I could feel that my mind was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye's eyes turned bloodshot. He knew that his fifth brother had been poisoned.
"Fifth brother, do you know who poisoned you?"
"I couldn't see the man's face clearly, but I still remember the wisp of white hair sticking out of his hat."
When they heard about the strand of white hair, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran thought of someone at the same time.
That is Yun Li’s master, the mysterious man that Nanrui mentioned.
Now the disappearance of several surviving brothers in the family is related to that person, but they don’t know why the mysterious man is so entangled with the Mo family.
Mo Jiuye knew in his heart that now was not the time to investigate these reasons. He wanted to know more about what happened to his fifth brother later.
"And what happened next?"
"Then the man took out a white porcelain bottle in front of me. The moment the cork was opened, a bug flew out of it. I knew there was no shortage of experts in raising Gu in southern Xinjiang, so I concluded that it was a Gu worm.
I saw with my own eyes the bug biting through my skin and burrowing into my body, and I felt a voice in my head constantly calling me to do things I didn't want to do.
I was very resistant to this and tried hard to fight against that voice. I don't know how long it took, but my willpower must have overcome the voice that was controlling me, and the insect broke a hole in my arm and drilled out.
Not long after, the man came to me. He was very angry because his use of Gu on me failed.
He told his men that since they couldn't control me, they couldn't keep me alive.
While I was struggling with the poisonous insect, I was also trying to break free from the restraints on my body. Before those people attacked me, I had already managed to break free from the chains on one side. In order to save my life, I used all my internal strength to break free from the chain that trapped my other arm and escape.
Those people chased me relentlessly and pushed me to a cliff. I used up all my internal energy when trying to break free from the chains. In order to stop being their puppet, I chose to jump off the cliff.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in a farmer's house and had lost all my memories.
It was near dusk at that time, and I had no memory of the past, and didn't know that was when the toxins in my body took effect. Fortunately, I broke my leg, and the person who saved me ran fast, so I didn't hurt him.
This happened for two consecutive days. I was worried that I might accidentally hurt my savior, so I asked him to help take me to the mountains.
I struggled to survive in the mountains for more than a month, and only planned to leave after my leg injury healed.
But I didn’t know who I was or where to go, so I planned to find a remote place away from the crowd.
Later, I found that there were not many people at the foot of the mountain in Xiling Village, and there was a house that could shelter me from the wind and rain, so I stayed there temporarily until you showed up..."
When the Mo family heard Mo Chongyuan talk about his experience, they felt both hatred and heartache.
They hated that mysterious man for treating Mo Zhongyuan like that, and felt sorry for Mo Zhongyuan's terrible experience.
If they had not been exiled here and He Zhiran had not helped with treatment, Mo Zhongyuan might never have seen his family again in his life.
Thinking of this, Madam Mo was still frightened.
Her sons, all strong men, fought to protect their country, but in the end, they ended up like this...
