NovelEnglish136 What To See
What… What was going on?
Qiao Xuan was almost dumbfounded.
What on earth had she seen? The future of this man?
Or maybe the past?
Qiao Xuan shook herself out of her stupor. Suddenly, she was very motivated to save him.
At this moment, Shao Yunduan let out a low cry. “He has wounds on his back and thighs. Let’s help him bandage that!”
“Okay!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeither of them were professional medical people. Moreover, this man was not only wounded but also starved. So, when the couple was done bandaging him, they fed him water, before he slowly woke up. They fed him almost 250 grams of snacks slowly. His mind became clear, gradually.
“Who… are you?”
Shao Yunduan replied calmly. “We were passing by and saw you in a coma. How are you feeling now? Better?”
Startled, the man greeted the couple. “Thank you for saving my life.”
“It is okay.” Shao Yunduan could not accept such a big gesture, but waved his hands and said, “We were just passing by, not a big deal. Where is your home? We will drop you there.”
Home? The man looked confused and miserable.
He had no home. He left home when he was much younger, full of ambition, always thinking that he could make a name for himself but eventually ended up gaining nothing.
After a few years of wandering, he returned, but by then, his parents were dead. His uncle had taken hold of the properties and insisted that he had committed a crime outside. So he got irritated and hit them. The others couldn’t help but rush up and took the opportunity to beat him fiercely, before locking him up in the woodshed.
He had no idea how they were going to deal with him, but he knew that it was not going to be good.
After being in the woodshed for three days, he managed to escape but ended up passing out here on the spot in pain and starvation.
Unexpectedly, he was saved by two kind-hearted people.
There were good people in this world.
He was no longer so angry, at the sight of this couple in front of him.
“Thanks, but it is fine, you can leave me here. If I…”
He originally wanted to say that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely repay them, but then he thought about it, and realized that he had gotten to this point, what was his future? What could he do in return? It all seemed so ridiculous.
He laughed self-mockingly. “Anyway, thanks very much for saving me. You will definitely have a great fortune in the future.”
Qiao Xuan was not gonna let go of this opportunity.
Immediately, she handed the roast chicken and a packet of dim sum to the man, and said with a smile, “If that’s the case, we will just leave. Our village is not close by, so we should go back.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man nodded. “Please.”
The man had woken up and he should be fine, so Shao Yunduan greeted him and left with Qiao Xuan.
The two of them went back to the bullock cart and continued on their journey.
They could not help but exchange a few emotional words.
The man saw them off, until they disappeared out of sight. He struggled back on his feet, and went to an isolated place.
He was starved and needed to regain energy before he could do anything else.
He opened the paper that was supposed to hold roasted chicken, but his eyes suddenly widened.
In one of the layers, there were almost 2 liang in change as well as one well-folded note of 50 liang.
No one would have put the money in this place accidentally. They must have given the money to him on purpose.
He was so messy looking and homeless. They must be trying to help him out!
The man could not help but feel like crying, as he held the money and food in his arms.
