Chapter 43 The Woman with a Disfigured Face
After washing up, Li Mo went out and turned into three alleys before arriving at the door of a house.
After knocking, the door opened after about ten seconds.
When Yun Li opened the door, she saw a woman whose face was covered in scars. The scars were so dense that there was hardly a patch of unblemished flesh on her face.
A piece of his nose was missing, and the corner of his mouth had been cut open. After being stitched up, there were two long scars connecting the corner of his mouth, making him look like a monster.
Even the bravest person would be frightened if they saw someone like that.
Li Mo was not frightened at all; on the contrary, he showed a happy expression the moment he saw the woman.
The woman greeted him as he entered the house, and Li Mo, as if returning to a real home, rolled up his sleeves and went straight into the kitchen.
The woman followed them to the kitchen, replaced the coal in the stove, and then went to fetch firewood.
Li Mo rinsed a small bowl of rice, put it in a pot, and put it on the stove to cook.
I picked up two more potatoes from the corner, peeled and shredded them, and stir-fried them in a pan.
While Li Mo was peeling potatoes, the woman also lit the stove.
While stirring the food, Li Mo spoke to the woman under the stove, "Pingping, how about I bring my son to see you tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, the woman became agitated, "No, no, it will scare the baby."
It was only then that Yun Li noticed that the woman also had a problem with her throat.
Judging from her excited movements, she should have been speaking very loudly, but the voice she made was as soft as a mosquito's buzz and as hoarse as if she hadn't drunk water for a week.
Seeing that she was anxious, Li Mo gently pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "I won't bring it, I won't bring it, don't get upset."
Where the woman couldn't see, Li Mo's eyes were filled with sorrow. How tragic it was that his own mother and son could not recognize each other!
Suddenly, his eyes changed, becoming sharp and sinister. His punishment of Min Fen was too lenient; it should have been harsher.
Yun Li had a guess from Li Mo's words earlier that he brought his son to see the woman.
The son of Min Fen and Li Mo is probably not Min Fen's, but this woman's and Li Mo's.
After Li Mo finished cooking, he ate breakfast with the woman.
Yun Li withdrew her spiritual power, walked to a corner and entered the space. That night, she came out of the space to kill Min Fen.
While waiting, she saw Li Mo move Min Fen to another room, and soon after, four men came in from outside.
Four men entered the room where Min Fen was.
Li Mo sat on a chair in the courtyard, leaning back and looking up at the starry sky, seemingly lost in thought.
I only realized how hot the cigarette burning between my fingers was when it finally reached my senses.
It seems there's no chance tonight, but Yun Li isn't disappointed; killing Min Fen is just a matter of time anyway.
Over the next few days, she wandered around the town, and through food barter, she learned some things about Li Mo and the disfigured woman.
The disfigured woman was named Zhou Ping, and she and Li Mo were childhood sweethearts.
The two have always had a good relationship since childhood, and both families have tacitly agreed that they will get married in the future.
No one could have imagined that Zhou Ping would disappear after her last college entrance examination.
Zhou Ping was an only child and was very much loved by her parents. After she went missing, the Zhou couple suffered a blow; one of them fell ill, and the other searched for her.
The one who fell ill was Zhou's mother. She missed her daughter every day, and she couldn't get out of bed. She passed away a year and a half later.
Because Mr. Zhou had been searching for his daughter and hadn't even seen his wife one last time, he suffered another blow, which severely impacted his physical and mental health.
Hearing that some people would abduct women to remote mountain villages, the old father went into the mountains to search for them, but he accidentally fell off a cliff and died.
After that, only Li Mo kept searching for Zhou Ping, year after year, until the fourth year when he finally found his childhood sweetheart who had lost her mind and whose face was completely disfigured.
Zhou Ping's face was completely disfigured, but Li Mo could recognize her because of the triangular scar on her arm.
He brought Zhou Ping, who was mentally unstable, back home and took good care of her, spending every day by her side talking to her.
Gradually, Zhou Ping regained her senses. Upon learning that her parents had passed away, Zhou Ping was overcome with grief.
Coupled with her own experiences, she had no desire to continue living.
She even secretly attempted suicide once.
Li Mo found her and rushed her to the hospital for emergency treatment.
To prevent her from committing suicide again, Li Mo stayed by her side at all times during that period.
With Li Mo's meticulous care and concern, she slowly emerged from the grief of losing both her parents.
In everyone's eyes, even if Zhou Ping regained her senses, Li Mo would not marry her based on her current appearance.
A year later, just as everyone expected, Li Mo got married, but to another woman.
No one criticized Li Mo for being fickle; everyone was understanding of him.
Although Li Mo is married, he still takes care of Zhou Ping, and everyone praises him for being loyal and righteous.
In order to avoid his new wife from overthinking, everyone subconsciously avoided mentioning Zhou Ping.
So far, Min Fen has no idea that Li Mo would go to Zhou Ping's house to cook with her after she went to work, living a life like an ordinary couple.
The above is the information Yunli has gathered.
Based on the information she gathered, combined with Li Mo's actions towards Min Fen and her conversations with Li Mo and Zhou Ping, Yun Li deduced some other things that no one else knew.
Li Mo's actions towards Min Fen didn't seem to be solely motivated by money; it was more like revenge.
Zhou Ping's face was disfigured in such a way that it didn't seem like an accident, but rather like it was done intentionally.
This deliberate method of disfigurement is generally used in two situations.
Firstly, her face might resemble someone else's, and in order to avoid being discovered, she might ruin it.
Secondly, it was too beautiful, which aroused jealousy and led to its destruction.
Of the two possibilities, Yun Li leans towards the second, because she knows from the information she has gathered that Zhou Ping is a stunningly beautiful woman.
If Zhou Ping was disfigured because someone was jealous of her, then that person was very likely Min Fen.
That's why Li Mo took this kind of revenge on Min Fen.
Yun Li developed a great liking for Li Mo. Even after experiencing ninety-nine lifetimes, she had never met many men as affectionate as him.
At the same time, Zhou Ping's plight reminded her of Yun Jiaoyue, and she immediately felt pity for her.
In an instant, she had some ideas.
A few days later, at night.
Yun Li arrived at Li Mo's door and slipped a note under the door.
The white paper was very white and stood out in the darkness. The moment the paper entered, Li Mo moved.
He didn't pick up the piece of paper immediately, but instead stared intently at the crack in the door.
After watching for a while, he kicked the white paper that had fallen to the ground. The paper floated up, and he reached out and grabbed it. He took out his lighter and shone it on the paper, but there were no words on it.
I immediately felt like I'd been fooled, and my anger flared up.
He picked up a carrying pole from the yard and opened the door.
In the darkness, he could clearly see a small figure two meters away from the door.
Although you can't see the face clearly, you can still tell it's a person, and it might even be a child.
However, Li Mo did not become more cautious just because the other party might be a child.
He took the carrying pole and went outside, then closed the door again. He nodded with his chin and said, "Who are you, brat? What are you doing here? You slipped that piece of paper in there, what's your purpose?"
"I lured you out here because I have something to say."
The voice was very childish, confirming it belonged to a child.
