Wenxiu had yet to recover from the words "my own wife, I can discipline myself" when she heard Li Jun's commanding words piercing her ears. She suddenly came to her senses and looked at the man beside her with eyes full of shock.
Could it be that this person was Old Li San, the husband of the ghost who had disappeared for five years?
Wen Xiu raised her head and looked over. Her eyes met with Li Jun's cold gaze. He had a grave and stern expression on his face, and there was not a hint of emotion on his face that belonged to his loved ones. He was either lost in longing or excited. His eyes were calm, even a bit cold.
The doubt in his heart increased by a few more points.
In Wen Xiu's inherited memories, her impression of Old Li San's voice and smile was very vague. It could be said that apart from remembering that his name was Li Jun and that he was the third oldest at home, she could remember nothing.
Although her original body had entered the bridal chamber after her marriage with Old Li San and had a pair of cute children, the newlyweds were all shy. Especially since she had never met Li Jun before the marriage, and the bashfulness deep in her bones made her not dare to look at her husband, she recorded down his appearance in her mind. Before she had time to do anything, Li Jun had gone hunting on the third day of the wedding.
Therefore, Wenxiu didn't recognize Li Jun at all.
As for Li Jun, was it the same as him? That was why he kept saying that it had nothing to do with him?
Wenxiu really couldn't understand Li Jun's attitude. She could only explain herself in this way. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a coincidence for Li Jun to appear on the third day after his original body had been sunk?
"Wenxiu, what are you thinking about? "He's actually so engrossed in thought?" Song Xiaoyue swayed back and forth a few times before she regained her composure and said, "Hurry up and go back. Third Brother Li has already gone home."
Wen Xiu looked up and saw Li Jun's long figure already walking to the edge of the forest.
"Sigh!" I'll go back right now! "
Wen Xiu's gaze was always on Li Jun. She casually replied to Song Xiaoyue and hurriedly chased after him. After walking out of the forest, Wen Xiu was walking in front of Li Jun.
The villagers looked at the two figures walking towards Wen Xiu's thatched cottage with astonished eyes. It took them a long time to recover from their shock. Wait, everyone from the Lee family was here, why did Old Li San leave without saying a word?
"Li Zheng, Old Li San, why are you so weird? It's fine if he doesn't know us, but why doesn't he recognize us either? " Sixth Aunt retracted her gaze and a malicious glint flashed in her eyes. She looked at Liu Da He and exclaimed in shock. Then, she covered her mouth in panic and stammered, "Could it be … It can't be that he isn't Old Li San, right? "
Not Old Li San? Then who could he be? That man just now looked exactly the same as Old Li San!
For example, Song Xiaoyue's husband, Wang Yanqing. When he heard Sixth Aunt say this, his face immediately turned cold and he snorted: "Sixth Aunt, if you say he isn't Brother Jun'er, then who do you think he is?"
When Aunt Liu received Wang Yanqing's indignant gaze, she immediately shrunk her neck and curled her lips. She quickly shifted her gaze away and pouted her lips as she muttered: "Who knows who he is. He might be the wild man Wen Xiu stole."
Wang Yanqing saw that Sixth Aunt was silent and snorted. She pulled Song Xiaoyue and left the forest. These people had nothing to do after eating their fill, so they couldn't be bothered to stay with them.
When Li Fu and Lady Wang saw that Wen Xiu and Li Jun had left, they looked at each other with different thoughts and slowly withdrew their gazes.
Old Lady Li had a dazed expression on her face. Her head was lowered all the way down, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
Liu Da He saw that the Li Family members did not even fart after Li Jun and Wen Xiu had left for half a day, so he could not figure out what Old Lady Li and Li Fu's situation was. He frowned, withdrew his gaze, and looked at everyone else, saying in a clear voice, "Alright, since Li Jun has returned, this is a good thing. Everyone, stop watching the commotion and quickly go back to your own homes. It might rain again. "
Yesterday, they had to watch the scene before they got the rice to eat. If today, Liu Da He's crow beak hit again, then their days would be truly miserable. No one cared about the Li Family members as they all dispersed.
Seeing that everyone had left, only Liu Da He and the Li family's three men remained in the forest. He then said to Old Lady Li, "Aunt Li, San-er is back. Why do you look so unhappy to me?" Are you all right? San'er's return is a good thing, so don't worry about his household registration. I'll go to town after I've collected the rice in the barn these few days and explain San'er's situation to the county magistrate. Although it's a bit troublesome, it shouldn't be a problem. "
Old Lady Li did not have the slightest reaction. Li Fu and Lady Wang repeatedly thanked her.
Liu Da He only thought that Old Lady Li was too shocked and didn't care too much about it. He was thinking about the rice in his own field, so after giving a few instructions to Li Fu, he also went back to work.
"Mom, everyone has dispersed. Li Zheng has left as well. Let's go back as well." Lady Wang supported Old Lady Li with one hand, secretly tugging at her sleeve and said with a low voice.
Old Lady Li's expression was not good. Her eyes were filled with a blank look as she continued to mutter, "How come you're back? "Why did he come back just like that …"
When Lady Wang heard this, her expression immediately became unnatural. She quickly looked at her husband and seeing that he was not suspicious in the slightest, she tried to pull at Old Lady Li and said, "Mother, San-er is back. Thank you for worrying for so many years." "Don't be sad, you have to be happy, okay?"
Old Madam Li was not the least bit moved. She still had a lifeless look on her face, and her mouth was still mumbling, "Why did you come back so quickly?"
Li Fu glanced at his wife, who had a lot of words to say. He didn't know why the old lady said that, but it seemed like Old Third didn't want to come back. Although he was suspicious, he felt that he was overthinking it. He thought that if his old lady's words were heard by others, it might cause some trouble, so he hurriedly ordered Lady Wang to send him home.
As the three of them walked home, they heard the sound of Li Jun's return. Before they even reached their house, the news of Li Jun's return had already spread throughout the entire Xitang Village. Some busybodies would intentionally leave their work to run to the Elegant Family to investigate and see if the rumors were true. Could this person who had been dead for five years really come back? There were also people who were shrewd enough to go to the town to find the storyteller and exchange the information for two copper coins.
The people who had disappeared for five years had returned alive. This kind of explosive news could be considered rare in the remote villages and small towns. In the teahouse and restaurant area, it was said to be fresh even if it took ten days or half a month. Even if it were twenty copper coins, the storyteller would be willing to pay it, much less two. One had to know that such anecdotes were not always common.
