The two parties met each other. The big guy gently hugged Shen Xingyue in his arms, howling, “Yueni!”
Shen Xingyue suddenly had a sense of intimacy, which was so familiar and so tender. She asked, trembling, “You are my grandpa?”
“Grandpa!” repeated the big guy.
Shen Xingyue cried, “Mother, he is my grandpa! He is my grandpa!”
Third Grandaunt cried trembling, “My elder brother!”
“Ying!”
The big guy took Third Grandaunt into his arms as well.
Third Grandaunt burst into a rage of tears. She held the big guy, shouting, “My poor elder brother. How could you become like this? What on earth happened?”
The big guy was of weak intellect so he could not understand her questions. He simply repeated, “Yueni! Ying!”
Fourth Uncle and Fifth Aunty also rushed over, crying around the big guy. The big guy tried to recall very hard. After a long time, he shouted, “Fourth Brother! Fifth Sister!”
They both fell to their knees and grasped their elder brother’s leg, wailing ceaselessly. The clan of the Shen Family behind all kneeled to kowtow, within whom the wailings rose and fell.
Crew Cut Taoist lifted his clothes and sank to his knees. He held a fist salute, saying, “Respects to my elder brother!”
The big guy did not know him. After all, they met only once. Even if the big guy was alive, he still had few impressions of Yang Zihe. Now that the big guy was insane, there was no room for Crew Cut Taoist in his remaining memory.
But the worship on the bended knees of Yang Zihe was sincere. He knew that this elder brother began the arrangement 25 years ago all because of Shen Xingyue. “My elder brother must have sacrificed himself to help my daughter. I must kneel to him!” thought Yang Zihe.
Third Grandfather of the Lin Family said to Fifth Brother secretly, “I did not expect him to be the previous chief of the Shen Family. Bro, this is going to be tough. “
When Fifth Uncle of the Lin Family came back, he introduced briefly to Third Grandfather about Shen Xingyue’s identity and her purpose of being here.
The Lin Family planned to find Miss Lin and Li Mu first. And then they could have a conversation with the Shen Family. If they could not agree with each other, they would fight. But now it appeared that they were no fighting match for the Shen Family since they brought a limited number of men. If they did fight, the Lin Family was likely to end up with defeat.
Third Grandfather could not help secretly complaining of Li Mu, “I’m speechless about Li Mu. How could he seek a marriage alliance with Shen Xingyue? If Miss Shen is a stubborn girl, things won’t end well.”
In fact, these leaders of the Lin Family knew exactly the course of the event. They guessed that Li Mu initially simply wanted to do some terminal care. However, Shen Xingyue did not die and the terminal care was transformed into trouble. What could they do?
The elders in the Shen Family cried for a while. Third Grandaunt said, “Get up and cry no more. We must find out what happened and why our elder brother became so.”
On hearing this, Fourth Uncle and Fifth Aunty stood up obediently. Fifth Aunty ordered her clans, “You all stay where you are. Without orders, don’t take casual actions.”
And she held a fist salute to the Lin Family, saying, “Everyone listens, please. This is a private issue of the Shen Family. We need to ascertain the facts through investigation and I hope you stay where you are. Please forgive me for the discourteous treat.”
Brothers of the Lin Family held fist salutes in return. Third Uncle said, “You are welcome. It is gratifying to see you reunite. On behalf of the Lin family, I congratulate you. Please help yourself! We will wait here.”
The elders in the Shen Family said nothing more. Third Grandaunt said to the big guy, “Elder brother, take us to the village, please.”
Without more ado, the big guy picked Shen Xingyue up in one hand, Third Grandaunt in the other. Then he turned around and walked towards the village.
Shen Xingyue and her mother blushed shyly. Crew Cut Taoist stunned there, “How could he do that? How could he take away my wife and daughter!”
He shouted inwardly, “Put them down! They are mine!” But he was afraid that he could not beat the big guy. In a hurry, he shouted, “Come down, darling!”
Third Grandaunt whispered hastily, “Elder brother, you cannot do this. Please put us down! “
The big guy obediently put them down and looked at her blankly.
“We can walk by ourselves. There is no need holding us!” Third Grandaunt said kindly.
It was difficult to say whether the big guy understood what she said. Anyway, he would stand tamely unless he was required to move.
“Let’s go! Let’s go to the village! “
The big guy responded and picked Shen Xingyue together with her mother up again, heading for the village.
Third Grandaunt shouted shamefully, “Put me down! Put me down! Hurry up!”
The big guy stopped walking. He put them down in a daze.
Fourth Uncle tried hard to keep himself from laughing. He said to Third Grandaunt, “Third Sister, you are the family members elder brother missed most. He is protecting you. I am afraid that he won’t let you go out of his sight.”
Third Grandaunt knew this, of course. But that would not do! Anyway, she could not be held by her elder brother every day.
At this embarrassing moment, Shen Xingyue said, “Grandpa, don’t hold my mom again, please. Let she walk on her own!”
“All right!” answered the big guy. Then he put Third Grandaunt aside directly, almost making the old lady stumble.
Crew Cut Taoist held her, said jealously, “Don’t allow him to hug you anymore! Only I can hug you!”
Third Grandaunt wanted to laugh and weep all at once. She gave him a ferocious stare, scolding in a low voice, “What are you talking about? Wicked old fool! Later, remember to be careful and find out what happened to my brother.”
Crew Cut Taoist whispered in her ears, “Darling, it doesn’t need to wait till later. Now I almost understand what happened. In my opinion, the elder brother wanted to revive his spirits by Corpse of Death. But pitifully, it failed!”
Third Grandaunt sighed and nodded slightly.
Shen Xingyue over there spoke again, “Grandpa, put me down as well, please. I can walk by myself!”
The big guy refused quickly. It was fine to let his sister go, but not his granddaughter. His subconsciousness reminded him over and over again, “I must protect my granddaughter. I cannot relax even for one moment.”
Shen Xingyue tried several times but all in vain. At last, she simply gave up, being held by the big guy heading to the village.
The village was in a mess with signs of fight everywhere. Third Grandaunt and others checked around and finally concluded that those people fled from the back of the village.
Shen Xingyue was concerned about Li Mu’s safety. She hurriedly asked the big guy, “Grandpa, have you fallen in a fight with someone recently?”
The big guy did not understand. Shen Xingyue had to use both gestures and verbal words, which took a lot of work, to let him understand her question.
He put down Shen Xingyue and measured a height with both hands.
“The defector!”
The defector? The elders did not know what it meant.
Clever Shen Xingyue understood quickly, saying to everyone, “I knew! Grandpa measured with both hands to show that there were two people. He meant that there were two defectors of the Shen Family. They were about this tall. They must be Zixing and her sister.”
Suddenly they all realized. But, how did Shen Zixing become a defector? Why?
Before they could ask anything, the big guy offered to say, “Gold stealer! Defector!”
Third Grandaunt swore angrily, “Damned the two little brutes! How dare they think of gold! When I get my hands on them, I’ll spank them!”
The damned two little brutes would be spanked. Others cast contemptuous eyes on her and thought, “You spoiled them. No wonder the two brutes dare to run riot.”
The big guy did not know why his sister was so angry. He assumed that she was in trouble and hurriedly held her into his arms.
Third Grandaunt said helplessly, “Elder brother, I’m fine. Please continue.”
The big guy loosened his arms and measured another height.
“The fraud!”
No doubt. It must be Little Brother Li who received this honor. The Shen Family nodded in agreement and all considered that his description was right. Little Brother Li indeed was a fraud.
“Grandpa, what did you do with the fraud?”
The big guy suddenly appeared to be angry. He pointed at his head, saying, “He hit me!”
After saying it, he lay on the ground.
All were surprised. Fifth Aunty asked uncertainly, “He means that the boy named Li Mu defeated him?”
Shen Xingyue asked the big guy to stand up. She described this question to him. The big guy nodded.
“The fraud! Competent!”
All looked at Shen Xingyue. Crew Cut Taoist asked, “My daughter, are your boyfriend so competent? “
“I don’t know. He used to be an ordinary guy. How could he...”
Fourth Uncle smiled, saying of great significance, “I didn’t misjudge him. The ordinary person is not comparable to the dragon and phoenix. Yueni has good taste! But he isn’t a guy of a good character.”
Third Grandaunt snorted and said with disdain, “I don’t care whether he is a person of merit or not. His bad character alone cannot qualify him to be the son-in-law of the Shen Family. My Yueni, we won’t object you to finding a lover. But we cannot watch you jump into the pit of fire.”
“Your mother is right. I also think so.” echoed Crew Cut Taoist.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Shen Xingyue shouted angrily, “Brother Mu is not that kind of person. I have dated him for four years so I know better who he is than you do!”
The rest kept silent. Their girl was very clever. By rights, after four years of affections, she must have known through about him. And she dared to guarantee in this way. Then there could be no mistake.
“Perhaps there indeed was some misunderstanding.” They thought, “We were supposed to avoid wronging an innocent person, lest Yueni would be annoyed.”
Shen Xingyue said to the big guy, “Grandpa, he is not a fraud. He is a good guy!”
The big guy did not seem to fully understand. Suddenly he said, “Son-in-law!”
Shen Xingyue nodded and added, “Yes, he is the son-in-law, not a fraud. Who tells this sentence to you?”
“The fraud!”
It appeared that the first impression was very important. The big guy asserted that Li Mu was a fraud.
Shen Xingyue did not bother herself to correct him again. Rather, she asked, “Where is the son-in-law?”
The big guy pointed to the back village, answering squarely, “Three Stones!”
Shen Xingyue did not understand. She had to ask her mother, “Mother, what is Three Stones?”
Third Grandaunt sighed and said bitterly, “Three Stones Mountain. The entrance to the gold mine is right there. Yueni, that good guy together with two little brutes has gone to steal golds after all. “
Shen Xingyue looked pale. She said worriedly, “So they are boxed in it.”
“Right!” Fifth Aunty sneered, “Whoever dares to seek gold will come to a bad end. Dream Valley is not a joke. Once a man enters it, he will never get out again.”
