46 -46: Shame_1
“Has the young master come to a realization?” Feng Family’s eyes immediately reddened, “If so, that would be wonderful.
The madam, if she knows from the afterlife, would also be pleased…”
Gu Yao also smiled.
As long as the young master could pick himself up, what did it matter if he was crippled or blind?
In his heart, the young master was always the best, always a figure akin to a banished Fairy.
Inside the room, Gu Qingheng wasn’t sleeping.
Although separated by the door, the sound insulation in this humble farmer’s courtyard was virtually nonexistent.
Moreover, as a martial artist, his senses were keener than those of ordinary people, and after becoming blind, his hearing seemed to have become even sharper.
Therefore, even though the two people had lowered their voices, he could hear them clearly.
Yang Dani was absolutely right.
If he really died, how could he face his deceased mother, or the wet nurse and Ayao, who risked their lives for him?
And what about those guards who died for him?
Shame washed over him.
However, after the shame had passed, he began to have a goal for living.
Perhaps it was time to do something.
Just like what that girl had said, he was blind but not heart-blind, lame but his hands were still capable.
Surely, there must be something he could do.
That’s how people are, feeling life is unbearable without a purpose, but becoming lively once they have one.
However, suddenly, after taking a sniff, he turned his head towards the door, “Ayao.”
“Big brother.” Gu Yao hurriedly got up and entered Gu Qingheng’s room, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s so late, is mother cooking something?” Gu Qingheng frowned, “Why is there such heavy smoke?”
Upon checking, Gu Yao indeed noticed the smell of smoke in the room and quickly looked around, “Big brother, it’s coming from the window outside.” It was summer, and everyone would open their windows for ventilation.
Now, smoke was continually drifting in through the open window, growing thicker, frightening him into quickly closing it.
“Go check, who is starting a fire outside.” Gu Qingheng’s frown deepened.
Gu Yao turned and left.
Feng Family also noticed smoke entering the room and hurriedly pushed Gu Qingheng out to the courtyard, “What’s going on here?”
“Ayao has gone to check, it shouldn’t be a big problem,” Gu Qingheng reassured.
Seeing the calm young man seated in the wheelchair, Feng Family calmed down as well.
This young master had been steady from a young age, praised by all the masters for his brilliance, and was also kind-hearted.
But why did such a Fairy-like person have to endure so much suffering?
Alas, the heavens are blind.
“Hey, think you’re so capable, huh?
Why are you grabbing me?” Soon, there was a woman’s protesting voice from outside the courtyard, followed by the sight of Gu Yao dragging in a woman with a face covered in soot, who was also holding a dirty jar in her arms.
“What is this…” Feng Family frowned.
“She was the one setting fire behind our house,” Gu Yao spoke gruffly.
“Mind your language, what do you mean I was setting fire behind the house?
It’s just that I didn’t light it…” Yang Ruxin was truly frustrated.
She climbed over the wall and scurried to the back of the village, hoping to find a place to cook the eggs.
But the experience of her former self didn’t help much.
Frankly speaking, in her past life, she never struck a match; there were always lighters and natural gas.
So, it took her quite a while just to figure out how to use the Fire Starter, but the grass she found was a bit damp; it barely caught fire after a long time smoking, and she was nearly choked by the fumes.
Just as a spark appeared, she was dragged away.
