Pei Yu’s stronghold was located Outside, controlled by a Tribal Leader who commanded a hundred thousand troops. But eighty thousand against one hundred thousand, a bloodbath ensued Outside, the enemy’s hundred thousand falling on the yellow sand, yet not a single one of Yun Ge’s eighty thousand suffered a scratch!
However, on the return journey, he received so news and ordered a woman nad Hong Fei to knock Zhi Chen unconscious with Knockout Drug.
When Liang Zhichen woke up again, he found himself in a desolate wilderness. Following the trail of the eighty thousand troops, he only saw a valley of death. Bodies piled up like mountains, numbering eighty thousand, including Yun Ge, with not a survivor.
...
Zhang Yu seed to want to calm the man before her, lest he truly swing his knife at her and Doctor Yun. But Doctor Yun pulled Zhang Yu back, signaling her to shut up.
Afterward, Yun Ge looked towards Liang Zhichen, her voice slightly hoarse, filled with longing and emotion, "My surna is Yun. We have co here in search of soone. Purple chervil... no, she has two other nas, Dong Dabao, Dong Baowei!"
Liang Zhichen acted dumb, "Baobao? Miss, do you know my family’s Baobao?"
Yun Ge was startled.
Liang Zhichen couldn’t help but sigh to himself that this person was really suspicious.
He had thought that earlier, in the town tavern, when he let slip information about Baobao, this person might have rushed up to recognize Baobao right away. Yet this person rely followed quietly, and almost got mistaken as a villain by Baobao’s sister.
Liang Zhichen bead with joy, sheathed his kitchen knife, and warmly said, "So it’s a flood that has washed over the Dragon King Temple? My family’s Baobao is surnad Dong, Da Bao is the na given by her grandmother."
After that, he opened up as if opening a chatbox, "My family’s Baobao truly had a hard life. At just six years old, she was sold by malicious villagers to a Human trafficker, vanished without any news for ten years until she returned two years ago, looking all dark and pockmarked, who knows how much suffering she endured in those years."
Zhang Yu exclaid in astonishnt, "General!!"
It really was the General!
He and Doctor Yun had been hesitant to recognize the person, firstly because the General’s appearance had changed drastically, and secondly because the General looked at them so unfamiliarly, as if he didn’t recognize them. anwhile, Yun Ge grabbed Zhang Yu’s arm, her eyes reddening as she tremulously said, "Purple chervil, it’s her, it really is her! Zhang Yu, did you hear that? We found her! More than two years, almost three years now, I finally found her!"
Yun Ge cried tears of joy, but the long-standing depression in her heart suddenly dissipated like smoke.
Purple chervil, her Purple chervil...
Her lips curved into a near-dreamlike smile.
"I want to see her! She’s so bad, hiding for so long, not recognizing , she really, really is so bad!"
She stepped forward eagerly wanting to enter the Liang family’s ho, but then... "Wait!"
She was stopped by Liang Zhichen.
When she turned around, she saw under the moonlight, the man’s lips barely moving.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up the fallen leaves, making the Chinese parasol trees rustle loudly.
Opening her mouth, Yun Ge, after what seed like trendous effort, finally managed to utter a complete sentence,
"So it turns out to be like this..."
Purple chervil, her Little Mute,
The one who shared her hardships, who once took a calamity for her, and upon curing her muteness, whose first utterance was calling out her na...
She had, it seems, forgotten her.
No wonder they didn’t recognize each other upon eting.
