Yu Wuhen walked up to the pigsty and stopped just one wall between himself and Chu Qingchuan. “Chuchu, where are you?” He cried.
Chu Qingchuan held her breath and didn’t dare move an inch.
A second later, Yu Wuhen walked over to the nearby chicken coop.
Chu Qingchuan covered her mouth with her hand and forced herself to hold her tears back from falling.
Yu Wuhen, you must have secretly poisoned me. Otherwise, why do I always end up in tears?
Yu Wuhen, I hate you!
I hate you to death!
Deep down inside, Chu Qingchuan secretly cursed him when she heard Yu Wuhen’s voice gradually disappear.
After a long while, Chu Qingchuan cried until there were almost no more tears left. She got up, looked all around, and noticed that Yu Wuhen was long gone.
She wiped her tears away with her hands and sniffled before climbing over the wall.
She looked in one direction with teary eyes. She knew that was the direction Yu Wuhen walked in.
She clenched her fists and walked in the opposite direction.
Chu Qingchuan walked for a day, hungry and exhausted until midnight came and she reached a small village.
Chu Qingchuan’s clothes were all torn and her hair was messy. She looked so filthy that people on the street took her for a beggar.
Chu Qingchuan pursed her cracked lips, as she walked into the teahouse. She pulled out some change and paid for a pot of tea, two kinds of pastries, and wolfed them down.
Inside the teahouse, people looked at Chu Qingchuan as if she was a hungry wolf. Then, instinctively edged away in fear that she was going to bite them too.
Chu Qingchuan continued eating until there wasn’t a crumb left, then rubbed her stomach in satisfaction.
Ignoring the look of disgust in other people’s eyes, she walked right out of the tea house to find somewhere to stay. However, it was just as she imagined; there weren’t any inns to stay overnight in a little deserted place like this. Her only option was to stay at a local resident’s place.
Chu Qingchuan walked past one house after another but didn’t want to ask for shelter in the slightest, because she felt odd about staying over at a stranger’s home.
“Ah! Aunt Li! Quick, look! There’s a beggar over there!” Whispered a short, fat woman who sat beside a tall, fat lady.
The fat lady glanced at Chu Qingchuan, then quietly voiced her disgust. “That beggar is really dirty as hell! I’d say she’s not even worthy of being a beggar. She’s just vermin!”
The short, fat woman laughed. “Haha! Aunt Li, you’re comparison is spot on! From how I see it, that beggar is no different from vermin. She’s dirty and smelly. Anyone who sees her will be disgusted!”
…
Chu Qingchuan’s eyes were red, as she tightly clenched her hands. Then, she picked up the pace out of the village.
She had never been looked down upon!
All of a sudden, Chu Qingchuan thought about Yu Wuhen and how she looked down on him and distanced herself from him, and couldn’t help but cry.
Yu Wuhen must have felt like she did now. It felt like the whole world was laughing at her and she could just die and end it all.
Yu Wuhen, I’m sorry. You suffered the epitome of judgment because you look ugly, but I deliberately poured salt on the wound.
You must despise me by now. Am I right?
More tears fell from Chu Qingchuan’s eyes and without her even noticing it, she was already very far from the village.
*Aooo aooo aooo…* Suddenly, the sound of howling wolves shocked Chu Qingchuan to her sense.
Chu Qingchuan was so afraid that she darted back into the village.
No! Don’t! Don’t catch up!
Unfortunately, a wolf spotted Chu Qingchuan from a hundred steps away.
That wolf hid in the night with its glowing green eyes. Out of nowhere, it viciously charged towards Chu Qingchuan.
“Ahhhh… Help! There’s a wolf!” At that moment, Chu Qingchuan was already frightened to the point her spirit left her body, so why would she even think about crying.
That extremely vicious wolf darted like lightning.
It was ninety steps from Chu Qingchuan… then, fifty… twenty…
It glowered at Chu Qingchuan and started to drool.
Although Chu QIngchuan’s limbs felt weak, she ran with all she had so the wolf couldn’t catch up to her.
‘Yu Wuhen, if I escape this obstacle today, I’ll definitely pay you a visit and apologize!’
