Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou looked at the child's mother and saw the woman staring at him in astonishment.

He felt a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the woman's voice excitedly saying, "Li Ergou… is that you?"

Li Ergou looked at the woman in slight surprise, suddenly noticing a familiar feeling about her, as if he had met her somewhere before.

He couldn't help but curiously ask, "You, you recognize me."

The woman's tears streamed down her face, and she said in a trembling voice, "Don't you recognize me? I'm… Cuihua."

Li Ergou never imagined that the thin and weak woman in front of him would be the once round and plump Cuihua. He couldn't believe it; it was as if she had become a different person.

She had lost so much weight, but her eyes didn't lie because they had never changed.

It really was Cuihua. A smile appeared on his face, and he felt a strange mix of emotions in his heart. He really didn't expect that they would meet again one day.

He came in front of Cuihua, but he didn't want time to pass, after all, he couldn't go back to the past. He had changed, and she had also changed. Time had really changed so many things.

But it was good to be alive. He said in an excited voice, "I really didn't expect you to be here. You've lost so much weight. After the corpse disaster, I thought, I thought you were dead."

Cuihua said, "I was lucky enough not to die. Unfortunately, after the village was destroyed, we came to Tiangou Town to make a living. This is my husband, and that is my son."

Li Ergou's eyelids twitched. Things really had changed.

"You're not doing well, are you?"

"Ah, it's a long story," Cuihua said with a wry smile.

At this time, Dabaixiang finally arrived with his men. They were all dumbfounded at the scene, but the thirteen youths from Wanglong Village couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Cuihua.

In the evening, Li Ergou booked the entire second floor of the Qunxian Restaurant. One after another, delicacies were brought up, filling a large table. From childhood to adulthood, Huzi had never seen so much delicious food. He kept shoveling food into his bowl, truly eating with greasy mouth, which made everyone laugh.

Where had Wang Dazhuang ever seen such a scene? His upper body sat upright, but his lower body couldn't help but tremble. He didn't know if he was frightened or excited.

In fact, at this moment, he was most worried about his wife. Through everyone's chat, he naturally understood what was going on. It turned out that this powerful constable, Li Ergou, was his wife's childhood sweetheart.

He had never heard Cuihua mention that she had such a powerful friend.

He was really afraid that this person would get excited and take Cuihua away. If that were the case, he wouldn't even have time to cry, and what could he do? Perhaps he could only watch her leave.

Li Ergou listened to Cuihua telling him about what happened after he left Wanglong Village. Only then did he know that Cuihua's father had married her off for a bride price of five taels of silver. Fortunately, Wang Dazhuang was a good person. Although his family was poor, he was still quite good to her.

After hearing about Cuihua's story, Li Ergou felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. When he was young, he thought that if he had money, he would definitely marry Cuihua.

But at that time, he also knew that he was just wishful thinking. After all, whether he could live to grow up was still up for debate. Marrying a wife was something he didn't even dare to dream about.

Who would have thought that he could also jump out of the pond and achieve extraordinary things.

However, after that, after seeing the outside world and contacting more people, he realized that his feelings for Cuihua were not love, but just human desire.

Perhaps to put it bluntly, he just wanted a warm home.

Time passed, and years were merciless. The two of them, after growing up, belonged to two different worlds after all.

In a drunken haze, Li Ergou also asked Cuihua if she wanted to leave with him. Although Li Ergou would not marry her, as a former friend, he could help her a lot, at least to live a good life that she couldn't imagine.

However, Cuihua ultimately declined this kindness. She had no ambition and no illusions. She was ultimately just a good mother and a good wife. She just wanted to stay by her husband and son's side and be an ordinary person.

Li Ergou naturally respected her thoughts. After all, everyone pursues different things. It's like, what is honey to you is poison to others.

He certainly wouldn't let Cuihua continue to live such a hard life. Since they had the fate to meet, he would of course let Cuihua live a good life.

So, the next day, he bought her a big house in Tiangou Town and gave her hundreds of taels of gold. Even if she didn't do anything for the rest of her life, she could live a happy life.

Cuihua wanted to refuse, but how could Li Ergou let her refuse? She was, after all, his youth.

At this moment, Li Ergou can also be regarded as giving the young self an explanation, perhaps everything starts from this moment, Li Ergou is no longer the Li Ergou he used to be.

With Li Ergou's care, from the yamen to the local gentry in Tiangou Town, who wouldn't give him face? Cuihua's family has since lived a happy life, at least no one dares to have evil intentions and provoke them.

In the next few days, Li Ergou asked Dabaixiang to lead everyone to kill all the monsters near Tiangou Town, while he leisurely took Ye Wanwan to visit some people and see some things.

Haotian Martial Arts Hall, his former memory, he walked out from here, he didn't expect that one day he would come back again.

He didn't notify anyone and entered the martial arts hall in plain clothes.

The martial arts hall was still the same, but there were not as many people here as there used to be, and most of them were not people he knew.

On the training field, two people were practicing boxing. To be precise, one person was practicing, and one person was being beaten. The person being beaten was also a teenager. At this moment, he was constantly knocked down, but he would get up again.

Fortunately, the person practicing boxing didn't use too much force, and it was just a matter of stopping at the point. It must be said that this is much better than he used to be. At that time, he was simply risking his life to be beaten.

Just as he was lost in memories, suddenly another shocked voice came, "Li Ergou!"

Li Ergou turned around and saw a tall and strong fat man looking at him in surprise.

Liu Dachui looked at Li Ergou and laughed, "Li Ergou, I'm Liu Dachui, you wouldn't not recognize me, would you?"

Li Ergou naturally recognized this guy, Liu Dachui? It is said that Zhu Daqiang no longer manages the martial arts hall and let Liu Dachui manage it.

This guy almost beat him to death back then, he can't forget him no matter who he forgets, but, those are all things of the past, he is not so petty as to hold grudges and pester him.

Liu Dachui walked towards him with a flattering face, but Li Ergou noticed that this guy's leg was dragging on the ground, it should be broken, he didn't know what was going on.

Li Ergou looked at him and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with your leg?"
