A rare opportunity

Chapter 533 Waiting

Of course, what they admire is not just the people or the clothes, but the combination of people and clothes!

She was wearing a goose yellow silk dress, two buns on her head, and had a thin and fair face. She was so cute!

Seeing pedestrians stop to watch, Zijuan was both happy and scared! She was happy that so many people praised her sister for her beauty, but she was scared that someone would recognize her and then hate her sister. Therefore, she buried her head even lower!

Muchun didn't know what she was thinking, and thought she was shy, so he just smiled and took her to a restaurant.

When they returned to the hut, Zijuan's face was flushed with excitement! Although she felt it was not good, as a child, who would not like new clothes and delicious food? She had never thought that one day she would have so many new clothes and so much food! She even had the kind of cute pottery figurines that she could never dream of!

At first she didn't dare to ask for it. But later on, her sister didn't even ask for her opinion anymore and just bought so many!

At this moment, she seemed to be in a dream! She stared at the new clothes, various foods and toys covering the floor of the hut with wide eyes, not daring to blink! She was afraid that these things would disappear in the blink of an eye!

After all, human energy is limited, let alone a child? Especially the more afraid of losing, the more nervous you are. The more nervous you are, the easier it is to get tired. After watching for a long time, Zijuan finally couldn't hold on and closed her eyes!

But Muchun was frowning at this time! Because when she led Zijuan out of the town, she found that several people followed them. Muchun didn't think much and walked straight to the hut with Zijuan. Those people seemed to have seen a ghost, and they screamed "Oh my God" and ran away!

Obviously, those people didn't recognize Zijuan at first, until they saw me leading Zijuan to the hut. Maybe they thought I was Zijuan's mother! Otherwise, they wouldn't be so scared! Because they knew Zijuan's mother was dead! So the one who appeared now could only be a ghost!

She wasn't worried that they would have the guts to harass her and Zijuan. What she was afraid of was that she would no longer be able to buy food from the town! However, there was no point in worrying, so she could just walk for a while!

At this moment, I heard Zijuan yelling:

"Ah! Please, don't steal my things!"

She suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the things in front of her. It turned out that she had dreamed that someone was snatching the things she had just bought!

Seeing her sweating and dazed, Mu Chun knew that she must have had a nightmare. He immediately walked over, held her in his arms, and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, Zijuan! No one dares to steal your things!"

Zijuan knew that her things were intact, nothing was missing, and she couldn't help but hugged Muchun and burst into tears! Of course, she cried because she was happy, not sad!

In the following days, Zijuan sometimes acted like a happy little princess, jumping and dancing around Muchun from time to time! Muchun was also infected by her emotions, temporarily put aside all his worries, and played with her to his heart's content. But most of the time, he sat in front of his hut, staring blankly into the distance! Especially when there was a slight disturbance, Zijuan would immediately drop what she was holding and quickly run out the door.

As time went by, she stayed in front of the house longer and longer, and her little face showed a look of loss and resentment! Although Muchun didn't notice the expression on her face, every time she was in a daze, she knew that she was thinking about her mother again. Suffering from a lack of words, she could only repeat the same words over and over again:

"I'm here, I'll be with you!"

Every time, Zijuan finally showed a hint of gratitude. But that smile was fleeting!

When Zijuan sat down in front of the hut in disappointment again, she couldn't help but ask:

"Sister, did mother really come to find me?"

Mu Chun was startled! Sui Bujian answered without thinking:

"Of course! Where else would she go?"

Zijuan smiled sadly and shook her head:

"hope so!"

Mu Chun looked at his expression and couldn't help feeling guilty! What did she mean by that? Did she already know the truth? But how did she know that?

"Oh! Maybe she didn't come to find me, but left me and went away alone!"

Zijuan said slowly.

Mu Chun couldn't help but feel a little scared when she heard Zijuan's words! She clearly heard the helplessness and resentment in her tone that was beyond her age! At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt whether her actions were right or wrong! Yes! Zijuan would not suffer because of her mother's death. However, it planted the seeds of resentment in her heart! No! He must not have such thoughts! She said resolutely:

"No! She will never abandon you!"

"Then why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Maybe... maybe she's lost. Yes! She must be lost!"

"Lost? Adults can get lost too? I only went to town once and was able to find my way home! How could mother get lost? Even if she was lost, didn't we go to town to look for her?"

"This... maybe your mother walked out of town and went to a far place to look for you, and that's why she got lost!"

"Oh!"

Although Zijuan didn't say anything, Mu Chun could clearly hear three words from her tone: I don't believe it! Mu Chun asked with a guilty conscience:

"What? You don't believe it?"

"But...but I clearly told her that I was going to town, why did she go somewhere else to look for me?"

"This……"

Muchun was not good at speaking, and now he was at a loss for words!

"But I still believe what my sister said! I know mother loves me very much and always saves the best food for me! She will never abandon me! Oh no! Could it be that she... Could it be that she has already..."

When she said this, she curled her lips and tears flowed from her eyes!

Muchun quickly took her into his arms and comforted her:

"Zijuan, don't cry! I'll take you to find your mother now!"

Mu Chun had said this more than once, but most of the time she was rejected by Zi Juan. However, this time, she nodded and said:

"Okay! Let's wait until tomorrow. If Mom doesn't come back, I'll follow my sister to look for her!"

On the next morning, Zijuan knelt in front of her mother's grave, kowtowed several times respectfully, and then left the thatched hut with Muchun! When leaving, Zijuan couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic and shed many sad tears.

Originally, Muchun thought she had done it flawlessly. But many years later, Zijuan told her that in fact, the moment she knelt in front of her mother's grave, she knew that it was her mother who was buried in the grave!

Muchun was very surprised and asked her how she knew it and why she didn't tell her.

Zijuan's answer was: intuition! Her intuition told her that her mother was buried in that grave! As for why she didn't tell Muchun, it was because she didn't want to expose her good intentions!

Muchun once again embarked on a journey without a destination, but this time she was not alone.

Logically speaking, Mu Chun is an adult, and he should take care of Zi Juan. But sometimes, it is not absolute whether he should or should not. Because sometimes, he should but may not be able to do it, or do it well. He should not do it, but it does not necessarily mean that he cannot do it or do it badly! It is just like taking care of people. Whether he should or should not and whether he can or should not are two different things! Whether or not to take care of people is not limited by age!

Miss Muchun occasionally does it out of interest, and she will do her best. Even so, it is inevitable that she is a little flustered. After a long time, she will get a little crazy! Fortunately, Zijuan is naturally considerate! Along the way, not only did she not let Muchun take care of her too much (occasional care seemed to be Muchun exercising some kind of right, Zijuan could not refuse, and did not dare to refuse! For example, combing her hair. Although she felt that Muchun's combing was not very good, she could not refuse.) She took care of Muchun instead!

At first, Muchun was a little embarrassed, but sometimes he felt that what he did was not as good as Zijuan, so he felt at ease.

That day, the two of them were strolling leisurely in a mountain range. Suddenly, Zijuan pointed forward and exclaimed:

"Sister, look!"
