Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

After waiting for so long, he finally agreed to tell us about it himself.

How could Lu Luozhi not look forward to it?

"Yes, go ahead, I'm listening."

Sitting on the sofa, she held her breath, straining her ears to hear every word he said next.

"Are you really not going to let me sit down in front of you and explain things slowly?"

Judging from the background noise, he seems to be in a car.

"Ying Yuchuan!"

He almost changed the subject again, and Lu Luozhi was a little annoyed. She said coolly, "How about I prepare some milk tea and fried chicken for you so you can eat while we talk?"

He actually nodded quite casually, "Although I don't really like eating these things, it's not impossible if you want to prepare them for me."

I'm truly defeated by him.

Actually, he's quite shameless.

Lu Luozhi reminded him, "Instead of wasting time haggling, you might as well just say what you mean, while I still have the patience."

I heard him let out a soft sigh.

Afraid that she wouldn't have the patience to listen to his explanation, he didn't dare to make up any more excuses and spoke directly.

"I was kidnapped when I was ten years old."

With just one sentence, Lu Luozhi was taken aback, and then her expression slowly became serious.

Was he kidnapped?

"A whole month."

The next sentence made her open her eyes in disbelief.

There's still a full month to go.

At this moment, Ying Yuchuan gave a wry smile.

"I was kidnapped on my way to summer camp. There were eight of us kids on a bus, heading to a famous archaeological site in China."

The location was rather remote. When we reached the mountain road, an old man suddenly rushed out from the bushes. The driver didn't have time to brake and hit him. While the driver got out to check, the robbers hiding nearby seized the opportunity to rush into the car, drug me, and take me away.

"I don't know where they took me. Later, my parents told me that when they found out I had been kidnapped, they were terrified. The kidnappers told them not to call the police and to prepare 100 million in cash to be ready for their call at any time, otherwise they would kill me."

"Back then, technology wasn't as advanced as it is now. There weren't many cameras on the streets, so finding someone who was deliberately hidden was extremely difficult."

Lu Luozhi didn't interrupt, but listened quietly as he recounted his unknown past.

"It concerns my safety. Apart from the police, even some media reporters didn't know that I was kidnapped. Even those who did know were put on gag orders, so very few people know about this."

"After I was drugged and woke up, I found myself in a very dilapidated tin shack. Those men were fierce and ruthless, and they tortured me in different ways every day. One moment they would cut my hair, and the next they would deliberately injure my hands and feet. I was in a lot of pain, but they didn't dare to kill me yet because they were counting on my life to bring them money."

"The turning point came three days later. They ate the wrong thing and one after another got diarrhea. They confirmed with my parents that the day to pay the money would be the next day, but I overheard their plan. The first thing they wanted to do after getting the money was to kill me and bury me in the wilderness."

"So, taking advantage of the fact that they had diarrhea and were too busy to watch over me, I secretly ran away in the middle of the night. I ran as fast as I could, and they chased after me frantically. The mountain was full of wild cypress trees taller than a person, and there were many other trees. I was so scared at that time, so scared, so scared of dying there, so scared of not being able to see my loved ones one last time."

"In short, I dared not stop. I ran and walked as fast as I could, crossing one mountain after another. Finally, I managed to get out of the mountains and onto a country road, where I collapsed from exhaustion."

"I thought I was really going to die this time, but when I woke up feeling feverish and weak, I found myself lying in a farmer's house."

"This farmer has a lovely little granddaughter. She has a round face and a sweet smile. When she smiles, she's as sweet as a red apple..."

When he said this, Lu Luozhi was completely stunned.

She felt as if every word he said had appeared in her memory before.

"She called me 'big brother,' poured me water, and even though she was already short, she still managed to climb onto the bed and feed me cup after cup of water..."

Her bright eyes widened in shock, and Lu Luozhi's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Because what he said seemed to have appeared in her dreams...

"I had a high fever at that time, and that farmer did everything he could to save me. They gave me all kinds of medicine and finally stabilized my condition. I lay in bed for almost a week, during which time that little girl took care of me and kept talking to me. She was a bit naughty. Once, she caught a chicken from the coop and fought with the chicks. The dog killed the chicken, and her grandma was so angry that she wanted to hit her. She ran and ran with her short legs until she got to my bed and asked me to protect her... Actually, thinking about it, her personality now seems to be similar to hers before. She's very naughty."

???

Lu Luozhi gasped in surprise.

She seems to have done something similar when she was a child.

Her grandmother had told the story of catching chickens and dogs fighting for many years, as a joke after dinner.

When she was about ten years old, she was seriously protested to, and only then did she stop talking and stop embarrassing herself in the village.

He, he...

An absurd idea suddenly flashed into her mind.

No way?

"I felt a little better and was able to get out of bed. The little girl asked me to take her to the sweet potato field to find her grandparents. I was carrying her, but I was unsteady on my feet and accidentally fell into a mud pit under the ridge. Her grandparents laughed so hard."

Upon hearing this...

Those familiar feelings came rushing back, scene by scene.

Lu Luozhi could even imagine the scene of her grandparents laughing so hard they bent over.

Because she had completely turned into a little mud figure, with only her eyes showing.

Her grandmother spent a long time washing her that day before she was clean.

"I stayed at a farmer's house for almost half a month. During that time, my health fluctuated. I really wanted to contact my family, but there was no phone in the village and the transportation was difficult. I was also afraid that bad people would look for me everywhere, so I couldn't contact them for a long time. Finally, one day, the little girl's grandfather went to the market and took me to an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to get medicine. Her grandfather gave me 50 cents to buy candy. I took the 50 cents to the store and made a phone call to my family."

At this point, Ying Yuchuan paused, his tone softening.

"Lu Luozhi, have I said so much and you still can't remember anything?"

"You don't remember me?"
