A rare opportunity

Chapter 529 Rotting Corpse

Although Muchun felt that things were a bit hasty, he was also happy for Meixiang! Firstly, they were finally together. Secondly, Meixiang finally had someone to take care of her! However, thinking about his own future, he couldn't help but feel sad!

What should I do in the future? Go back to my father? It can be said that my mother died because of him, and I can never live with him! Stay in the City Lord's Mansion? Other couples are loving, so what's the point of me staying here? Besides, Hua Qianyu seems to have a prejudice against me. If I stay, it is very likely that Meixiang will have a conflict with him. In this way, won't it destroy their relationship? Destroy Meixiang's happiness? Then where should I go? I fell into confusion for a while!

For a period of time, her life belief was revenge! But now that Xing Kuo was dead, she had lost the target of revenge. Therefore, she also lost the motivation to live! She was just worried about Meixiang and didn't have time to think so much! Now that Meixiang had a home, she also believed that Meixiang would soon be able to get out of the grief. And she had to consider her own whereabouts!

Hua Qianyu and Meixiang finally held their wedding in a grand ceremony a month later. During this month, the top management of Tianxing City was finally successfully established. Although Hua Qianyu did not get a better position, he was promoted to the position of elder of Tianxing Sect and the governor of Tianxing City thanks to Meixiang's status!

Therefore, the wedding was packed with guests. Even the new clan leader Lu Yiwei sent a gift, and the new Tianxing City Lord Yu Hualin and several other governors came to congratulate him in person. This made Hua Qianyu feel honored and very happy!

Muchun knew it was time for her to leave! Although she was reluctant to leave Meixiang, she had to leave! This was because Hua Qianyu had expressed her intention to leave in front of her several times, either explicitly or implicitly.

The next morning, when Meixiang came to her room, Muchun tactfully put forward her idea. She said to Meixiang:

"Xiang'er, I'm so happy to see you two finally get married! But you've been away from home for so long, I'm sure your father will be worried about you. So I decided to go back today to see him so he won't worry. How about I come to visit you later?"

Hearing that Mu Chun was leaving, Mei Xiang's eyes turned red! She really didn't want her to leave! But she knew that Mu Chun's words made sense. Her father must be worried crazy after not going back for such a long time? Thinking about her own father, how could she bear to stop him? She immediately said with red eyes:

"I really don't want you to leave me! However, how can I bear to make my uncle worry and my sister anxious? I just ask you to remember that you still have a younger sister in Tianxing City! You must remember to visit me often!"

As I spoke, tears began to flow down my cheeks unknowingly!

"How can I forget your life-saving grace and your kindness in taking me in? Don't worry, I will definitely come to see you!"

Na Muchun was also a little excited and held Meixiang's hand tightly!

Parting is always a sad thing. Meixiang sent Mu Chun a hundred miles away from Tianxing City, and only after Mu Chun insisted did she say goodbye in tears!

That late spring left Meixiang and rode alone on the road, feeling lost! She didn't know where to go, so she just let the horse run freely! She also wanted to go back to see her father. But she couldn't get over her mother's death!

She just wandered aimlessly over hills, across rivers, through villages, and through towns! After years of wandering, she didn't know where she was. Fortunately, before she left, the thoughtful Meixiang stuffed her with enough money so that she wouldn't starve or freeze.

One day, when she passed a small town, she felt a little hungry, so she stopped in front of a pancake shop and bought a few pancakes to eat while walking. After walking a few steps, she saw a child with ragged clothes, covered in dirt, skinny and bony, who could not be distinguished as a boy or girl. He was staring at the pancake in his hand with a pair of big eyes, and his throat was still moving! At first glance, it was clear that this was a child who was suffering from hunger!

Muchun glanced at the pancake in her hand, then walked over to the child and handed it to her. The child hesitated for a moment, then reached out and snatched the pancake from Muchun's hand and stuffed it into her mouth! Because she was in a hurry to eat, she choked and rolled her eyes! Muchun quickly took off her water bag and handed it to the child.

Seeing the child wolfing down the food, Mu Chun couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken! After thinking for a while, he immediately took out some loose change and placed it next to the child, then stood up and prepared to continue on his way.

The child was too young, only about six or seven years old at most. She didn't dare to leave him too much money, as it might harm her.

At this moment, she felt her dress being pulled. She looked down and found that the child was pulling her skirt and looking at her pitifully! Mu Chun was stunned! She didn't understand what the child wanted to do? Did she think the money she gave him was too little and wanted more? She couldn't help but feel a little angry! At such a young age, he was so unsatisfied! His face darkened immediately!

When the child saw it, she was so scared that she immediately let go of her hand and backed away like a frightened rabbit! Tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes were full of fear and panic!

Muchun couldn't help but feel soft-hearted! He reached out and took out some more silver and handed it over. But the child just glanced at it and didn't reach out to take it. He then fixed his eyes on Muchun's face!

Mu Chun was a little puzzled! Could it be that she didn't want the money? Then what did she want to do? She immediately said softly:

"What do you want me to do for you, little one?"

The child opened his mouth but didn't dare to speak. He just looked at Mu Chun pitifully.

Muchun knew that her expression must have frightened the child, so she walked forward and reached out to touch her head. The child obviously misunderstood Muchun's intention, and shrank her head in fear, and finally tears flowed down! What surprised Muchun was that she didn't cry loudly like other children, but sobbed silently! Because of this, she was even more lovable!

Muchun stroked her head gently and said softly:

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you! What do you want me to do for you? Just tell me, okay?"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the child, Muchun could not help but be filled with love and decided to help the child as much as she could.

The gentle touch of late spring had apparently worked. The child stopped trembling, raised a dirty face and said:

"Sister, you are a good person, can you save my mother?"

The voice is crisp and the eyes are full of expectation!

"Save your mother? What happened to your mother?"

"I... I don't know either. I heard from others that she was sick! But she used to get better by just lying down. Why did she take so long to get up and cook for me this time?"

"Hmm? Where is she? Take me to see her!"

Mu Chun hurriedly said, "Looking at the child's appearance, it's obvious that she hasn't eaten well for a long time, which means her mother must have been ill for a long time!"

The child pulled Muchun out of the town and pointed at a lonely thatched house in the distance and said:

"Sister! That's my home, and mom is in it!"

Muchun looked at the thatched hut in front of her and felt sad again! This child actually called this thatched hut with wind blowing in from all sides his home! The stench coming from the hut made her realize that the situation was not good!

He immediately said to the child:

"Wait for me outside first, I'll go in and take a look!"

After saying that, he quickly rushed towards the thatched hut. The closer he got to the hut, the stronger the disgusting smell became!

She held her breath, pushed open the door woven with branches, and walked in.

The scene in front of her shocked her! A rotting corpse was lying in a pile of tattered quilts! Maggots were all over the body, and flies were flying everywhere!

Mu Chunzhi felt a churning in his stomach and opened his mouth to vomit. He didn't have time to take a closer look, so he quickly retreated! He rushed to the child, picked him up and walked away! He didn't stop until the smell disappeared, put the child down, and finally couldn't help bending over and vomiting!
