New Life of Broken Cedar - C121

“Can you take a look?” the boss asked as he showed the silver hairpin to Gu Moyan.

The hairpin was simple and unadorned, just like the iron shop owner’s personality.

Gu Moyan nodded and accepted the hairpin.

Seeing that the boss had taken out the box to store the remaining solution, Gu Moyan organized him in time and said, “Boss, you can keep it for yourself. Can I exchange it for silver taels?”

The iron shop owner looked at the solution. Very few people would take silver items and melt them. Since the teenager in front of him had said he didn’t want them, he didn’t refuse. “Mm, I’ll give you ten taels of silver. Come with me.”

Gu Moyan brought a bag with her, and when she came back, all that was left was a bag of silver and a hairpin.

As Gu Moyan walked out of the city, she thought about it and realized that there were some common things in her house. She was too embarrassed to keep thinking about the villagers, so she took the money with her to the store.

By the time Gu Moyan had come out of the city, the sun was already setting in the west. At the horizon, the red clouds were as resplendent as a sea of flowers.

Gu Moyan picked up the things in her hands and pulled the rest of the donkeys up, placing them on the cart before sitting on it.

The donkey staggered forward. Under the sunset, Gu Moyan, a cart and a donkey drove on the small road. Under their shadows, they slowly disappeared into the distance.

Gu Moyan was drowsy from the donkey cart’s swaying posture, and seeing that there was no one around, she knew how to get back to the village. He then relaxed and lowered his head to take a nap.

Gu Moyan didn’t know why, but when she was about to lower her head to her knees, the donkey suddenly stopped walking and even shook its body, waking up Gu Moyan.

He looked to the side first and saw nothing. It was the same grassy path he had come by, and there was no one around. Why did the donkey stop? Could it be that there was a stone head below?

Gu Moyan was somewhat suspicious. She got out of the car and stood at the bottom. It didn’t matter if she didn’t look. Gu Moyan was so scared that her face almost changed when she looked at him.

Although he had seen dead people before, they were all dead because of him. If his momentary napping had caused his donkey to kill someone else, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Gu Moyan pushed the donkey away, revealing the person that the donkey cart had hit. Gu Moyan was a little scared, and he trembled as he extended a finger to touch the man’s nose, discovering that there was still warm breath, and let out a sigh of relief.

Why would there be people lying on this road? This was the only way to get to the city, so it was reasonable to say that the villagers were eating at home, so who was this person? Could it be that he was drunk and had fainted here?

Gu Moyan moved closer to him, wanting to ask what he smelled like. Who knew that a sour stench would assail her nose? This was a drunk man, and he was clearly a beggar who had come from an unknown place.

He waited for his identity to be revealed before paying attention to the clothes of the person in front of him. It was unknown how long it had been since this man had changed his clothes. The clothes were covered with mud and there was a dark red thing on his chest area. It had been drying with the mud for a long time, so Gu Mo Yan did not know what it was.

Before, when he was in Jinzhou City, the beggar had shown him kindness, and he was unlikely to leave this man until he woke up. Moreover, this man seemed to have been knocked unconscious by a donkey, so he should wait for him to wake up before doing so.

Gu Moyan raised her head to look at the sky and realized that stars had already started appearing all over the place. She couldn’t care less about this person’s slovenly appearance. She dragged him onto the carriage as she hurried the donkey towards the village entrance.
