2974: C2974 Big Brother

C2974 Big Brother

In the corner of the WuTown, near the dense forests of the mountains, there was a simple and crude looking wooden house. The top of the house was paved with thatch, mud, and bluestone, and after being exposed to the sun for many years, the house had already become a piece of wood which was extremely tough and fine.

The wooden house was simple, but it was built very solidly. There were ropes tied to the stakes, and because the wooden house was on a slope, there was even a small cobblestone path leading to the main road.

Around the house, there were a few old willow trees. According to legends, these old willow trees were very old, and seemed to have been planted in the generation of the WuTown Mayor's great-grandfather. In the end, the number of WuTown s increased, and they expanded outwards, cutting down all the old willow trees to make space for houses.

It was noon, and a middle-aged woman walked out of the wooden house. Her long hair was tied carelessly behind her head with a bamboo pole, and time and fatigue had etched marks on her body. The lines at the corners of her eyes were very dense and deep.

She walked all the way out and poured some rice water beside a few trees. She coughed a few times along the way and wiped the sweat off her forehead. It was unknown what was on her mind, but she sighed.

"Mother."

A cute and quick-witted voice called out. It was a 14 or 15 year old girl wearing a plain white robe with delicate facial features. This was the daughter of the mayor, Gu Xin'er.

Mother, is a form of address that is unique to WuTown.

Gu Xin'er had a worried look on her face and was carrying some fruits in her hands.

When the middle-aged woman turned around and saw Gu Xin'er, she immediately smiled gently and said, "Xin'er."

In WuTown, the middle-aged woman and her only son were bullied and ostracized. Only the mayor treated them with a friendlier attitude, and the mayor's daughter, Gu Xin'er, had always been closer to the mother and son. She would come over to visit from time to time.

"You must remember to take medicine for Mother's cold. If the medicine is insufficient, tell Xin'er. Xin'er will prepare it for Mother."

The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded. How could she dare to open her mouth when she was thinking in her heart? If the people from WuTown were to find out, they would have to jab the mother and son pair's spines even more.

The middle-aged woman extended her hand and pointed at the wooden house. "Fan'er is still inside."

The worry on Gu Xin'er's face became heavier and heavier, "It's been so many days. Brother Meng Fann , what happened?"

With that, Gu Xin'er walked into the wooden house. She had the posture of a butterfly.

After they entered the wooden house, Gu Xin'er finally saw Meng Fan.

He curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped in the quilt, as if he were sick and afraid of the cold, but it was summer.

His eyes were filled with helplessness and fear.

Meng Fan glanced at Xin'er before quickly closing his eyes as if he had been stabbed in the eye.

Seeing this, Gu Xin'er wanted to speak, but stopped herself. She turned around and walked out of the wooden house to her mother's side.

Her mother was still watering the old willow trees. Her back was to Gu Xin'er, but she could still vaguely see tears glistening in her mother's eyes.

Gu Xin'er waited patiently for a moment, unsure of what to say.

In the past, even though Meng Fan was excluded from the WuTown, and his talent in the martial way was also average, just now, he was still body refining second level. But he was very hardworking, and had a stubborn unwillingness to lose.

No matter how many times Meng Fan was bullied or knocked down, he would always stand up. Furthermore, Gu Xin'er knew that Meng Fan was always sneaking into the mountains to gather herbs for her mother. The mountains were very dangerous for them, and they were not allowed to easily step in.

These were the reasons why Gu Xin'er secretly admired Meng Fan.

Gu Xin'er and her older sister were called the WuTown Duo Lotus and were the Town Mayor's daughter. Beautiful and full of youthful energy, as well as very good talent in martial arts, there were a lot of people who secretly admired Gu Xin'er, but Gu Xin'er, even though she was the most pleasing to the eye to Meng Fan, she still kept on calling Brother Meng Fann .

What was going on with Meng Fan now?

In the past, Meng Fan had always been unable to bear the supercilious looks of the villagers and had fought against them on the spur of the moment. However, due to his low cultivation base, he had always been at a disadvantage.

But now, Gu Xin'er would rather Meng Fan go out and fight with someone else than be so submissive.

It seemed too pitiful.

But there must be something to hate about the poor man.

Anger was not contested.

The current Meng Fan did not have any anger.

This was a few days ago. Meng Fan was practicing his fist art in front of his home when he suddenly sat on the ground in pain, even wailing. He covered his head and shook his head with all his might, shouting "No, no".

Ever since then, Meng Fan did not have the mood to practice boxing. Every day, he would lie on the bed in fear and it was difficult for him to fall asleep. The moment he fell asleep, he would wake up screaming in his dreams.

Soon, the people of the village found out. Some people said that Meng Fan was cursed by his father, Meng Cang, and was struck by evil. Their family was born with miserable fates, and it would affect the people around them.

Mama Meng didn't care about these rumors at all. She just hoped that Meng Fan could get better.

Because of this, Mother Meng had decided that she would pack her belongings and leave the WuTown to go to a few relatively large cities to beg those powerful cultivators. No matter the cost, she had to cure Meng Fan.

Mother Meng was very strong. She did not want anyone to see her pain and helplessness, including Meng Fan's, so she hid it all the time.

Even though Gu Xin'er was young, she was already very sensible. Knowing her mother's mood, she opened her mouth a few times but did not say anything. After that, she decided to turn around and leave.

However, as soon as she turned around, she was called back to her mother.

"Xin'er, take Meng Fan and go out …" "Let's go out for a walk."

Gu Xin'er turned her head and saw the helpless look in her mother's eyes. She immediately nodded. "Ok."

It took a lot of effort for Gu Xin'er and her mother to get Meng Fan off the bed. He barely managed to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge before he followed behind Gu Xin'er and walked toward WuTown.

Meng Fan was staggering along the way. He hadn't had a good night's sleep or a good meal in the past few days. His body was extremely weak, and his eyes were lifeless. Occasionally, he looked a little dazed.

Gu Xin'er held Meng Fan's hand without hesitation.

At this moment, Meng Fan's entire body quivered and his face finally showed some color.

Gu Xin'er's hands were very thin, very soft, and also very warm.

This was the first time Meng Fan held Gu Xin'er's hand.

It was likely that in the entire WuTown, other than the mayor and the mayor's wife, none of them had ever held Gu Xin'er's hand.

Meng Fan's face turned slightly red. He was a little nervous, the fear from before had dissipated a little. However, it was only a little.

"A lot of things have happened in the town these days." Although Gu Xin'er's heart was filled with worry, her face still brimmed with a smile, "Uncle Lei Ze's medicine store has opened, and he hired a crew from the neighboring town of Hu Xiang. He sang it very well, and there are a few characters in the company, and they are all very pretty.

Lei Tao fought with someone, and because he injured someone, he was grounded for a few days. Now, even if we go and see him through the window, he will die from laughter.

Zhou Bai Shu was leaving in a few days. He heard he was going to take the examinations in the neighboring towns, and he was so envious to be able to go out and take a look.

"There's more …"

Gu Xin'er kept talking.

Meng Fan suddenly said leisurely: "Outside, it's very big, very big..." "It's better if you don't go out …"

Gu Xin'er was stunned.

These words came out of Meng Fan's mouth?

It was only after a long while that Gu Xin'er recovered her composure and continued, "There is a new master in the town, and he is a very handsome big brother. He looks quite handsome, and he must have come from a big place, and he claims to be a person who sells paintings for a living, so he casually used some mud and water to draw an image on one of the walls. His father and many of the powerful uncles and aunties of the town saw him, and they all said very seriously, saying that there is a very strong charm in the painting, and the essence of martial arts.0

This means that he must be very talented, or has opened the Heaven's Eye, so he lent him a house. Now, this big brother here has been painting for the people in the town every day for free, so I'll take you to see it. "
