424 Finding Her Grandmother

Su Xiaowu blinked at Liu Sanniang. “Sister Liu, how are you going to help me find my grandmother?”

This was not a simple thing. Su Xiaowu counted with her little fingers. “I’ve been looking for Grandmother for a long time, but I still couldn’t find her. I’ve seen the white world. Once, twice, thrice, four times.”

Li Guanfeng’s heart tightened. His eyes were red. The white world was winter when it snowed.

Four times. His Xiaowu had been wandering outside for four years. Li Guanfeng felt bad.

If he hadn’t been selfish, if he hadn’t insisted on keeping Xiaowu back then, his Xiaowu would have been a beautiful and normal girl.

While he was keeping Xiaowu by his side, Su Xiaowu, who lacked a soul, was already growing up in this world. Because of her missing intelligence, she had been lost for four years. What kind of suffering had she gone through?

Li Guanfeng did not dare to imagine.

Su Xiaowu looked at Li Guanfeng and realized that her brother was crying again. She smiled and reached out to wipe the tears off Li Guanfeng’s face. “Brother, don’t cry.”

Li Guanfeng choked. “I’m sorry.”

Su Xiaowu was anxious. “Brother, don’t cry.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Xiaowu didn’t know why she was so sad. She just didn’t want to see him sad. She felt terrible. This kind of feeling was worse than wandering alone on the street.

Li Guanfeng reached out and hugged Su Xiaowu.

Su Xiaowu wiped his tears. “Grandmother said that when it hurts, you just have to blow on the wound. I’ll blow on it for you, hu…”

Her warm breath landed on Li Guanfeng’s face, and he smiled gently.

Su Xiaowu also smiled. “Grandmother didn’t lie to me. It really stopped hurting.”

Li Guanfeng nodded and looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, sorry to trouble you.”

He had to meet the grandmother who treated Xiaowu so well. He had to kowtow to her and thank her for raising Xiaowu up.

Su Xiaowu only remembered her grandmother, not her parents. This meant that the only person who truly loved her was her grandmother. That gentle treatment warmed Su Xiaowu’s heart. How could he not be grateful?

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Su Xiaowu smiled at Liu Sanniang. “Thank you, Sister Liu.”

Su Xiaowu didn’t know why she felt close to Liu Sanniang but she liked Liu Sanniang very much even if it was the first time they met. She didn’t know what she could do, so she just smiled at her.

Her grandmother had said that when you liked someone very much, you just had to give the person a big smile.

Li Guanfeng held Su Xiaowu’s hand. “Xiaowu, extend your hand to Sister Liu.”

His Xiaowu was really too skinny. Her small wrist was only left with bone and no flesh.

Su Xiaowu extended her hand and Liu Sanniang held it gently.

Su Xiaowu grinned and exclaimed in surprise.

Soon, she smiled even more happily. “It’s so warm and comfortable. I want to sleep.”

Li Guanfeng patted Su Xiaowu’s shoulder. “If you want to sleep, sleep. I’ll protect you.”

Su Xiaowu yawned and nodded. Soon, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, looking like she had a sweet dream.

Su Xiaowu was not at all on guard against Liu Sanniang and trusted her wholeheartedly.

Liu Sanniang’s power was as gentle as water. She released her power and brought Li Guanfeng into Su Xiaowu’s memory.

Li Guanfeng couldn’t describe what he was feeling. He knew that this was Xiaowu’s memory.

He watched as Xiaowu was born, but there was no light in her eyes. At a glance, one could tell that she lacked a soul. and because of that, Xiaowu wasn’t liked.

The nanny and the maids neglected Su Xiaowu, which infuriated Li Guanfeng.

However, no matter how negligent the servants were, Su Xiaowu would not complain because she knew nothing and could not speak. Her father never liked her.

After Su Xiaowu’s mother passed away, an old lady took her over. She brought Xiaowu to the temple hall to chant scriptures. She taught her how to speak. She was always very patient and Xiaowu wholeheartedly relied on her.

The first word Su Xiaowu said was ‘grandmother’. She always liked to lean on her grandmother. At night, she couldn’t sleep unless her grandmother held her hand gently.

Children would eventually grow up.

She was stupid and always smiled foolishly at others. Her foolish smile made the other children want to tease her.

Su Xiaowu didn’t understand why they would pull her hair and put worms in it when she smiled at them.

However, she did not hold a grudge. After crying, she forgot about it.

The old lady told her what spring, summer, autumn, and winter were. Su Xiaowu couldn’t remember. Later, those children tricked her to go out with them and abandoned her. Since then, she hadn’t been able to find her way home again.

She cried herself hoarse and called for her grandmother, but there was no response.

She walked down the street, looking at the steaming food. She didn’t know that she had to pay for everything. She’d been scolded and beaten for stealing things. She’d been walking aimlessly, further and further away from home.

She still did not understand what spring, summer, autumn, and winter were, but she knew that when the world turned white, it would be very cold and she would not be able to find anything to eat. She was so small that even wild dogs would pity her.

She was also kind. When she had food, she would give some to other small animals, wild cats, and wild dogs.

She seemed to know a lot, but she also seemed to know nothing. She had wandered across many places and met good people and bad people. She knew that she was looking for her grandmother. She had managed to escape from bad people countless times.

After a few months, she seemed to have become much smarter, but she was still stupid.

One day, she was very hungry, so she sneaked into the backyard of the county office to steal an egg, but she was so hungry that she fainted before she could eat the egg.

Liu Sanniang had already retracted her hand. Li Guanfeng looked at Su Xiaowu lovingly. Xiaowu had experienced countless hardships before she wandered all the way here. Nevermind, he would protect her for the rest of his life henceforth.

“The Su Mansion in Chuzhou, Lord Li, do you remember?”

Su Xiaowu had been missing for four years. She was the daughter of the Su family in Chuzhou.

Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, Xiaowu has been away from home for four years. Is her grandmother still alive?”

After sensing Su Xiaowu’s memories, Li Guanfeng understood how important her grandmother was to her. However, he was worried that the old lady was no longer alive.

Liu Sanniang examined Su Xiaowu’s face carefully.

On her face, it showed that her mother had passed away while her father was still alive, but something had changed, and Liu Sanniang couldn’t figure out what it was.

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng and said, “There’s something strange about Xiaowu’s family. If you want to find her family, you should go as soon as possible. It doesn’t matter if her grandmother is still alive or not.”
