I, who was afraid of society, was forced to marry a national goddess

Chapter 255

However, the couple who were missed finally arrived at a remote town in Ningcheng after several hours of long-distance travel.

At 7:30 in the evening, the two took a short rest in the town, ordered some local delicacies to fill their stomachs, and then continued to set off for their destination, Longjing Village.

Wu Cuixiang and Li Guofu are both from this village, which is a very remote natural village.

There is no public transportation, and driving by yourself is also a test of skill.

Because it is on the mountain, you have to drive up the one-way winding mountain road to arrive.

Fortunately, Bai Qinning has good driving skills, and the nearly one-hour drive was relatively smooth.

At 8:30 in the evening, the sky had completely darkened.

The two finally arrived at their destination, Longjing Village.

This village is built on the mountain. Because of the remote location, there are no young people in the village. Even before nine o'clock, many families have turned off the lights.

In the dark night, besides the friction between the tires and the stones, there were the sounds of insects and birds, and the slow flow of the stream.

Li Shuo was not familiar with his hometown. When he arrived in the village, he took out the map drawn by his father Li Xuejun. After walking in the village for more than ten minutes, he finally arrived at Wu Cuixiang's mother's house.

This is an old mud-built house at the end of the village. Perhaps because of years of disrepair, a large area of ​​the wall of the house has weathered.

The lights were still on in the house. Bai Qinning parked the car on the roadside not far from the mud house. The couple got out of the car one after another, picked up the rice and flour they had bought in advance, and went together.

There was only an old man with gray hair and dark skin living in this house. When he saw Li Shuo and Bai Qinning, he was still wary at first.

It was not until Li Shuo told him his identity that he reacted and quickly invited the two to sit at home.

This is Wu Cuixiang's younger brother, Wu Huaishan.

According to what Li Shuo learned from Li Xuejun, after Wu Cuixiang's family became rich, they did not take care of their brother's family. Instead, they directly cut off contact with Wu Huaishan when Wu Huaishan's son was diagnosed with cancer.

Not long after Wu Huaishan lost his son, his daughter-in-law also had an accident, and she raised her grandson from the age of eight to college graduation.

As for how Wu Huaishan's grandson is doing now, Li Xuejun doesn't know.

However, judging from Wu Huaishan's current living conditions, Li Shuo can also judge that his grandson's development in the big city should not be smooth.

Although Wu Huaishan and Wu Cuixiang are siblings, their temperaments are very different.

Knowing that his nephew and grandson came back with his wife to visit, Wu Huaishan was busy pouring tea for the two and washing the only few apples in his house to entertain them.

"Xiao Shuo, Ningning, I didn't know you were back. We didn't prepare anything delicious at home. Tomorrow, your uncle will go to town to buy you some."

Wu Huaishan's dark and old face smiled simply. He put the small basket filled with apples on the eight-immortal table in front of the two of them, smiled and said something, and then went to clean up the unfinished hats piled on the ground.

Li Shuo immediately stood up to help, and said at the same time: "Uncle, you are polite. It's also because Ningning and I came here suddenly."

It was the first time for Bai Qinning to see such a poor environment. She was used to having luxurious clothes and delicious food, and she was really a little uncomfortable for a while, and her reaction was not as fast as Li Shuo.

After her husband got up to help, she realized it belatedly and got up from the wooden stool to help.

The two young people were very polite, especially Li Shuo, the nephew, who didn't seem to be as autistic and manic as the villagers said.

Wu Huaishan was very pleased. After packing up quickly, he asked the two to sit down and eat apples, and also asked about Li Xuejun's situation in Lucheng.

Wu Huaishan obviously cares more about his nephew Li Xuejun than his sister Wu Cuixiang.

Li Shuo and his uncle told Wu Huaishan about his father Li Xuejun's situation in Lucheng, and followed this topic to ask about Li Xuejun's life experience.

"Uncle, I heard from my father that he is not the biological son of my grandparents. Can you tell me about my father's origin?"

Li Shuo asked tentatively, and the smile on Wu Huaishan's face suddenly froze slightly and became embarrassed.

"Xiao Shuo, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Li Shuo did not hide it from Wu Huaishan, and told him directly that he wanted to try to find his relatives.

Wu Huaishan did not support it very much. He frowned and said to Li Shuo: "Xiao Shuo, uncle advises you not to waste time. With your father's situation, even if I tell you his origin, it may be difficult to find relatives."

"Whether I can find it or not, I will always try. I hope you can provide some clues, uncle."

Li Shuo said sincerely.

Bai Qinning also said: "Uncle, if you can help provide clues, whether Li Shuo can find his relatives or not, we will definitely reward you handsomely."

Wu Huaishan has lived in this isolated mountain all his life and is an honest man.

Li Shuo and Bai QinningAfter nagging him for more than ten minutes, he finally told them all about Li Xuejun's origins.

Li Xuejun was brought back by Wu Cuixiang and Li Guofu from a man named Ma Qing in Wancheng. At that time, Li Xuejun was only a little over one year old, just a toddler.

Wu Huaishan didn't know the other party's address, but only knew that there was a man named Ma Qing in Wancheng.

Even though the information provided was not much, it was a great progress for Li Shuo and Bai Qinning.

As long as Li Zhiyue went back and found out the man named Ma Qing in Wancheng, the truth about Li Xuejun's life might be revealed.

It was already late at night when the two finished talking with Wu Huaishan.

Wu Huaishan was afraid that it was unsafe for the two to drive at night, so he warmly invited them to stay overnight.

He happened to have a guest room at home, but it was relatively simple.

Bai Qinning drove for most of the day today, and Li Shuo agreed considering that she really needed a rest.

He held Bai Qinning's hand, and the young couple followed Wu Huaishan to the small attic on the third floor.

The attic still used light bulbs from many years ago. Even though the light was not very bright, Bai Qinning could see the spider webs on the beams and around the bed.

Her palms were sweating unconsciously, and she felt a little uneasy thinking that she might sleep with a room full of spiders and insects tonight.

Li Shuo could sense Bai Qinning's uneasiness, and even regretted agreeing to stay overnight.

He had never lived in such a bad environment, not to mention his wife who had a well-off family background and had been pampered since childhood.

Just when Li Shuo was hesitating whether to take Bai Qinning to the town to find a place to live, Wu Huaishan had already taken the sheets and quilts from the sack on the bed.

As soon as he made a move, a dark shadow suddenly jumped down from the bed.

Bai Qinning was already panicking. When she saw the shadow rushing over from the bed, her beautiful eyes widened. Before the shadow reached her feet, she hooked her jade arms around Li Shuo's shoulders, and her feet left the ground instantly, clinging to Li Shuo like a koala.

She didn't scream, which was the last stubbornness of Miss Bai, who had never been afraid of anything since she was a child.

Fortunately, Li Shuo had been paying attention to Bai Qinning. When her soft body suddenly hung up, he subconsciously reached out to hug her and stood firm. The two of them were almost tightly together.

Li Shuo could even feel Bai Qinning's body trembling slightly. She was scared, so he hugged her and comforted her gently: "It's okay, it's okay."

After Bai Qinning jumped onto Li Shuo, she realized that her cowardly behavior just now was too embarrassing, but at this moment, when she heard her husband's gentle comfort, her heart was instantly filled with sweet honey.

She was no longer in a hurry to jump down and show off her strength, but chose to give in in Li Shuo's arms, burying her face in his neck, tightening her arms, letting Li Shuo hold her, enjoying the unique sense of security that Li Shuo brought her at this moment, and responded softly in his arms.

"Yeah."
