"It's in this area? That master Shen Xiangzuo said so?" The proprietress was stunned.
Although they had never gone to Master Zuo to have their fortunes read or to ask about good and bad luck, they had heard of his reputation as a man of extraordinary foresight.
"Since Master Zuo said so, it is probably correct. Although the East District is not small, as long as we put in the effort, we will definitely gain something."
The proprietress said solemnly.
At this time, the boss who was washing pots nearby said without turning his head: "Hey, I remember that the old couple in the back street pooled their money to find Master Zuo for fortune-telling a few days ago. They originally brought all their life savings; but Master Zuo only took one dollar and told them that their daughter might come to see them in the next few days..."
Having said this, he suddenly turned around like a whirlwind, staring at Mo Xuanyi with eyes wide open, his mouth opening and closing, making meaningless sounds: "... Deer, that Nuo Nuo Hehe..."
Mo Xuanyi's expression suddenly became nervous: "Old Wood from the back street?"
“Old Wood…” The boss’s expression was funny, full of shock.
That look and face were filled with the words that hadn't been spoken yet: You aren't their lost daughter, are you
"Uncle, where is the home of the old man surnamed Mu you mentioned?"
Mo Xuanyi suddenly felt a little dizzy.
"Just... just in the back street..."
The proprietress suddenly woke up from her shock, her face full of excitement: "I know his house, girl, shall I take you there?"
"Thank you, Auntie. It's been a pain for you."
Mo Xuanyi's voice trembled: "Well, I... Can I borrow your room for a while, I... I'll change my clothes... and then go over?"
"Ok, no problem."
Mo Xuanyi still looks like the ordinary girl she was when she went to Zuo Xiaoduo to have her fortune told. She can be said to be very ugly and not good-looking.
But just a moment later, the boss and his wife witnessed a mythical story of an ugly duckling turning into a fairy.
The girl just now had a dark face, freckles all over her face, and was short. She looked plain, or maybe just very ugly, and there was nothing outstanding about her.
The couple was still thinking that if it was really the daughter of Old Wood who came back, even if she was not very good-looking, at least she looked very simple.
Maybe I can help match my son up with someone
At the very least, her butt is still quite big... It looks like she can give birth very well, but that's one good thing that can cover up all the bad things!
But when that ugly girl comes out of her room again...
It was as if she had transformed into a completely different person. The change was so great that even her beauty could not describe it!
Tall, hot body, face, eyebrows, eyes, facial features, just like a fairy in human form, wearing a black dress, with hair naturally hanging down...
It was definitely... the legendary fairy had come to the mortal world and quietly appeared before the couple.
"… "
"Auntie, let's go..." Mo Xuanyi looked around nervously, "Do you think I'm dressed this way? I came from far away, and I'm afraid of danger, so I don't dare to show my true face..."
…
Well, considering this girl's pretty looks, it's understandable that she doesn't dare to show her true face to others!
But is it okay
The proprietress led the way with these words echoing in her mind.
Is it okay? It’s great!
I used to think that it would work, but now I don’t even dare to think about it. Our family can’t afford to support such a fairy…
…
Backstreet.
"Old Wood, Old Wood... there is a big happy event in your family!"
Mo Xuanyi looked at it with sadness, a bungalow that was extremely dilapidated... It was called a gate, but in fact it was just a few broken wooden boards nailed together, a small yard and two small houses.
Hearing the shout, an old lady came out tremblingly: "Lao Mu has gone to work... Isn't this the girl from the Ma family? Why did you come to visit? Is the business in the store not good?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Mo Xuanyi standing outside the gate that could no longer block his view.
Mo Xuanyi stood at the other end with a pair of big red eyes, staring at the old lady who was so frail that she would fall to the ground if the wind blew, her face full of tears.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
She walked forward tremblingly, staring at Mo Xuanyi's face without blinking. The closer she got, the clearer she could see, but tears welled up in her eyes. She could no longer see the person in front of her...
“This… This is…”
The old lady wiped her eyes vigorously: "Who... how... who is this? Why is he with me... with me when I was young... I... I..."
The more she wiped, the more tears came.
My body clearly hit the door, but I seemed to feel nothing.
Mo Xuanyi rushed forward a few steps, rushed through the door like the wind, supported the old lady, and said in a trembling voice: "You... you... have you ever lost a child before?"
I felt Mo Xuanyi holding me and felt the warmth from these hands.
The old lady opened her tearful eyes wide, wiping them vigorously, wiping them vigorously, staring at Mo Xuanyi infatuatedly, and said as if she were dreaming: "I... lost it, my daughter was snatched away by someone..."
Her lips trembled: "My daughter... there is a mole on the back of her neck, a birthmark on her shoulder, and a birthmark on her thigh. When she was a child, her father accidentally burned her foot, leaving a mark... My daughter... I won't lose her. She has so many marks on her body..."
Mo Xuanyi's tears burst out crazily.
She turned her head, squatted down, opened her collar, and choked up, "Is it here?"
The old lady's eyes suddenly widened!
There was a gurgling sound in his throat, and he gasped like a bellows for a while, and then suddenly fell backwards.
"mom!"
Mo Xuanyi screamed and rushed forward to hug the old woman without saying a word.
There is no need to confirm anything further. The old lady knows all the most secretive marks on my body that no one should know except me. Why would I need to confirm anything further
I’m afraid even my master may not know these private marks!
Of course the only person who might know is your mother!
Only one's biological mother would engrave these things deeply in her heart and never forget them for decades.
After a long time, the old woman woke up slowly, hugged Mo Xuanyi and burst into tears.
For a moment, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, which made Aunt Ma, who was watching on the side, feel extremely sad. She was happy for the reunion of mother and daughter, but also felt that it was not easy for them.
"Just cry slowly... No no... Just talk slowly... Sister-in-law, please take your daughter in quickly. How can you cry at the gate?"
"This is a happy event... Stop crying, or your tears will ruin your happiness."
Aunt Ma was very enthusiastic: "You two can chat first. I'll go call Old Wood back and ask him to buy some wine and food so that you can have a family reunion. After a few days when everything is settled, I'll set up a table at my house to celebrate your family reunion and have fun together."
He said this and walked out with a smile on his face, but he wiped his eyes as he walked.
Thirty years of separation, it was not easy for this family...
Now, they are finally reunited, I am so happy for them!
The old woman pulled Mo Xuanyi into the room, and then began to wipe the bench, asking her daughter to sit down; she brushed the teacup over and over again, carefully.
"Nannan... the tea at home is not good... you, you may not be used to it, I will ask your dad to go out and buy some later..."
"This house is too dirty. Your father and I have been... lazy these years. Please don't be disgusted. Just sit down. Just sit anywhere. Don't... You don't have to do these things... Don't make your clothes dirty..."
Looking at the old woman's face full of joy, she was still worried that her daughter would dislike her. Her face was full of happiness, and her face was full of tears...
Mo Xuanyi burst into tears; he walked over gently, hugged his mother, and pressed his whole body against her: "Mom... Mom... Mom..."
The old woman trembled, trembling, and gently, tentatively, put her wrinkled and cracked hands around her daughter. Slowly, she hugged her tighter and tighter, as if she had used up all her remaining strength, fearing that her daughter, whom she had met again, would suddenly disappear again...
"Heaven... has eyes..."
Not long after, Lao Mu came back with wine and food in his hands. There was a bruise on his forehead and his eyes were filled with inexplicable excitement.
"Old lady... Old lady... Are there... guests coming?"
There is unspeakable fear and anxiety, and endless expectation and longing in the words and tone.
"Your father is back..."
The old woman's emotions had stabilized a lot at this moment, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's Nannan who's back, her father."
…
The family is finally reunited.
There was indescribable bitterness and endless emotion. We just sat facing each other quietly, looking at each other, and suddenly tears started flowing. For a long while, no one uttered a complete word.
Mo Xuanyi's eyes were red as she obediently washed vegetables, cooked, and poured tea for the two elders... She was stubborn and refused to let the two elders interfere. She just wanted to finish it by herself and serve the first meal for the two elders.
A wandering heart gradually calmed down in this process.
It was just a small, dilapidated house, but in her heart, it was more precious and warmer than any other mansion, because her parents, her biological parents, were inside it!
"dad!"
"Mother!"
After shouting these two words again, Mo Xuanyi wanted to cry with happiness and laugh happily at the same time.
From now on, I have a family, no longer alone, no longer lonely, no longer cold...
The wine and food were quickly prepared. To be honest, Mo Xuanyi's cooking skills were really not that good.
But the old couple ate with gusto. They really felt that they had never eaten such delicious food in their lives.
Lao Mu even broke the taboo of many years and drank three glasses of white wine, and he was not drunk!
