Chapter 139 - Meeting No One

After walking down several winding paths, Xiang Chen Xi finally arrived at the entrance of the village.

Old houses, unknown birds chirping on the dead trees, heaps of straw on either side of the road, a few children playing hide-and-seek around the old house, a child hiding under the straw, a child climbing on a thick tree, other children hiding in a pit that no one thought they had noticed.

It was unknown who shouted "start," but the blindfolded child started to move. Like a blind man fishing, he carefully stepped forward, his two small hands continuously waving in an attempt to grab onto something.

"Got it!" The child stumbled in front of Xiang Chen Xi, grabbing onto, who shouted in joy. Sensing that the person in front of him was retreating, he was afraid that Xiang Chen Xi would slip away, so he tightly grabbed onto Xiang Chen Xi's pants without letting go.

"Hahahaha …"

The other children by his side burst out laughing. It was unknown what they were laughing at, but in the end, the boy felt that something was wrong. He couldn't get a hold of the other party's head, so he took off his eyepatch.

Just as expected, Xiang Chen Xi saw the child's surprised and awkward expression, and the surrounding children all surrounded him, pulling Xiang Chen Xi along as they asked all sorts of questions.

The adults who were working at the side also stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiang Chen Xi, the foreign face.

Their road was very remote, and normally, no one would come here. Many young men gathered around Xiang Chen Xi to watch, and many village girls blushed when they saw Xiang Chen Xi, and some good people even went to inform the village chief.

Finally, the village chief met with everyone's expectations. The village chief wiped his hands that he had washed three times on his clothes and took out a cigarette from his bosom. He was afraid that Xiang Chen Xi would look down on him, so he took out a pack of cigarettes that were a luxury for the village chief.

Xiang Chen Xi shook his head in refusal. In order to express his friendliness, he gave the cigar to the village chief and the youths, who had never seen the cigar before. The village chief and the youths didn't know what this was, but some knowledgeable people would cry out in alarm.

"What are you doing?" Tao Chu Liang walked over from afar. She had heard from his parents that there was a person who seemed to be a rich person in the village.

Originally, he had been disdainful of the idea that there would be some big entrepreneurs coming to this remote place. Most of them were just exaggerating things like the villagers. It was inconvenient to travel here, even if there were entrepreneurs coming, they would only come to a town that was very far away.

Tao Chu Liang's voice came out, the crowd automatically split into two, the village chief saw that the person who came was Tao Chu Liang, his expression became excited, and the beard on his chin trembled along with the smile on his face.

"Lu Yu, you're here."

Seeing Tao Chu Liang nod his head, the village chief smiled even more happily than before.

"It's like this, I'm sorry to bother you, but I've come here to rent some abandoned land in the vicinity and to plant flowers." Xiang Chen Xi explained his purpose of coming to the village, but stared at Tao Chu Liang without blinking.

However, Tao Chu Liang just frowned slightly, his reaction was extremely ordinary and indifferent. He did not understand why Xiang Chen Xi was staring at her, and felt that Xiang Chen Xi was strange.

Xiang Chen Xi kept looking at the so called Lu Yu. She looked too similar to Tao Chu Liang, and Xiang Chen Xi was unable to suppress the urge of living after death.

His heart was excited, but when he heard the village chief call Tao Chu Liang, after knowing that Tao Chu Liang was born and bred here, his heart went cold. She was called Lu Yu, not Tao Chu Liang.

After searching for Tao Chu Liang for the past few years, he had seen many faces that were similar to Tao Chu Liang's. Furthermore, this "Lu Yu" had grown up in this village.

"Lu Yu, you know a lot, come and chat with this mister." The village chief laughed and pushed Tao Chu Liang to Xiang Chen Xi.

"This is?"

"She is the daughter of Old Lu family. She knows more than us old bones. If you have any questions, just ask him. We are lagging behind, so I don't know much."

The village chief shook the pipe in his hand and knocked it on the stone floor a few times. Then, he poured out the ashes.

Tao Chu Liang thought for a while and nodded his head in agreement. He didn't know why, but she could guarantee that it was his first time seeing this man.

Tao Chu Liang wanted to figure out where this sense of familiarity came from. She kept feeling that he was a little out of place with this little mountain village.

What were they thinking!

Looking at his expectant parents, Tao Chu Liang shook his head. How could she be incompatible with him? Both her father and mother were looking at her lovingly.

"What would you like to plant, sir?" As Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi left three years later, they made introductions and told him things that he did not know.

Xiang Chen Xi suddenly stopped and looked at Tao Chu Liang who was blabbering on and on. He could not help but feel his heart throb, and asked her: "Are you really called Lu Yu?"

After Tao Chu Liang heard this, he could not help but burst out laughing, and asked, "My name is not Lu Yu, could it be that uncle is Lu Yu?"

In the time she had spent in contact with Xiang Chen Xi, she felt that Xiang Chen Xi was not as cold and cheerless as he seemed on the surface. Lovely.

"Uncle?" Am I that old? " Surprised that Tao Chu Liang dared to joke with him, Xiang Chen Xi said in a narrow voice.

"Of course … "Not old, but you really are a very big uncle." Tao Chu Liang mischievously stuck out her tongue, pretending to pause. She seemed to know that Xiang Chen Xi wouldn't be angry.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why should I be afraid of you? We are all humans, we have hands and feet." Tao Chu Liang rolled his eyes at Xiang Chen Xi's question, but he thought that this uncle's brain wasn't working.

"Then what are you doing here?"

It was probably because that face was extremely similar to her mischievous look, which made Xiang Chen Xi want to understand more about her.

"Yes, I teach in the village. I'm a teacher here." Tao Chu Liang said rather proudly.

"Do we know each other?" Looking at Tao Chu Liang's pleased expression, the mysterious Xiang Chen Xi said what he was thinking.

"Hahahaha, Uncle, are you sent by Monkey to make us laugh? We just met today."

Xiang Chen Xi's words gave Tao Chu Liang an exaggerated laugh. After hearing Tao Chu Liang's answer, Xiang Chen Xi became embarrassed and his face became hot, but he understood that Tao Chu Liang was speaking the truth.

The two of them laughed and discussed about growing the plants together. However, no matter how Xiang Chen Xi looked at his smile, it seemed to have a bitter taste to it.

What Xiang Chen Xi did not know was that Lu Yu was precisely the Tao Chu Liang he had been bitterly searching for for for the entire past three years, and what Lu Yu did not know was that he was actually the Tao Chu Liang that Xiang Chen Xi had always been worried about!

Originally, when she was kidnapped by Tao Yi Fei at the wedding, she had to use a cloth with aphrodisiac to cover Tao Chu Liang's mouth, making her unconscious and unable to make a sound. Tao Chu Liang was put into a box by the crazy Tao Yi Fei, and after waking up, Tao Chu Liang started to run for her life.

She was afraid that she would be discovered by Tao Yi Fei or her men, so she ran through a very remote area which was so remote that she couldn't even remember the way back. Finally, without any troops to follow her, Tao Chu Liang slowly walked back, wanting to tell Xiang Chen Xi to be more careful of Tao Yi Fei and Tao Yi Fei. Due to it being so dark, she slipped and rolled down the hill, hitting her head on one of the shattered rocks, and finally hitting a tree stump without any consciousness.

Tao Chu Liang was saved by the people from this village, so when he woke up, Tao Chu Liang couldn't remember anything. As long as he tried his best to think back, he felt an intense pain in his head, and after interacting with him for a few days, the people of the village realized that Tao Chu Liang's conversation was not just normal, but also profound and profound. He could teach the children of the village a good lesson, and the people of the village, in order to not lose Tao Chu Liang as their teacher, made up a beautiful lie, making Tao Chu Liang think that she was someone born and raised in the little village.

So even now, Tao Chu Liang still thought that she was truly from here, that he was from this village, and that his death would be at least the village's soul.

Tao Chu Liang's origin had become the secret of everyone in the village. Under the village head's request, everyone unified their voices, afraid that they would not leak a single word.

Lu Yu had gotten the name of the person who saved Tao Chu Liang for her, he was originally surnamed Lu, but he just happened to meet Tao Chu Liang on the way here.

Everyone had buried this secret in their hearts for three years, never mentioning it at all. They thought that this secret would be kept hidden until the day Tao Chu Liang thought of it himself, or perhaps even his entire life, and he would just stay in this little mountain village like this until he died of old age.

Unfortunately, Tao Chu Liang met Xiang Chen Xi.

Lu Yu would never think of his past with Xiang Chen Xi, but Tao Chu Liang would, perhaps one day, Tao Chu Liang would suddenly think of Xiang Chen Xi on a sunny morning.

Time flew by quickly, Xiang Chen Xi realised that when he was with Lu Yu, he would completely forget about time.

Thus, Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang returned to the village. With the Village Chief's orders, Xiang Chen Xi left, but he told the Village Chief that he would be back in a few days to observe the situation.

The village chief brought the people from the village and sent Xiang Chen Xi to the entrance of the village with a smile. He firmly believed that Xiang Chen Xi was one of the entrepreneurs who started a business in a big city, and if he could take a fancy to this place, what kind of businesses or plants would he plant here?

The Village Chief had already treated Xiang Chen Xi as a cash cow. What he wanted to do now was to get close to this tree and make his village better.
