Chapter 1290: Chong Tongzi
Mengyu withdrew her Divine Sense from Pi Yuhua and continued to scan other areas.
Suddenly, a shout came from a household: "If you dare eat Dabao’s food, you can just die." Immediately after, a small figure was thrown out of the back door, and the door slammed shut with a bang.
Mengyu sighed. Just from the voice, she recognized it was the Zhong couple who had adopted Gougou, and the one thrown out was undoubtedly the Chong Tongzi, Gougou.
Mengyu walked towards Chong Tongzi and called out, "Gougou."
Gougou was bowing his head, curled up and crying. Upon hearing the call, he looked up in confusion. After a long time, he finally saw Mengyu by the faint light from the house. He rubbed his eyes and called out, "Fairy Aunt."
Mengyu was puzzled. He shouldn’t be able to see her clearly, so why did he call her Fairy Aunt?
Mengyu chuckled and took out a piece of cake, handing it to him, "Don’t cry, Auntie will treat you to sweet rice cake."
Seeing the cake, Gougou, who was starved to skin and bones, almost glued his eyes to it.
"Eat, Auntie is giving it to you."
"Thank you, Fairy Aunt."
Seeing that Mengyu truly offered it to him, Gougou thanked her, took the cake, and eagerly stuffed it into his mouth, only to choke instantly. Mengyu quickly handed over a water bottle, "Quick, have some water."
The water in this bottle was naturally diluted with Spiritual Spring Water. Gougou’s body was too weak to handle the pure Spiritual Spring Water.
After eating half the cake and drinking half the bottle of diluted Spiritual Spring Water, Gougou felt it was the best dinner he ever had. Not just because it was delicious, but because he felt comfortable throughout his body after eating it, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Even though his stomach wasn’t full and he wanted more, he resisted and hid the remaining half of the cake in his pocket: "I’ll save it for breakfast tomorrow."
Mengyu’s heart ached as she looked at Gougou, her eyes getting a bit teary: "Eat it all, if it’s not enough, Auntie has more, and tomorrow morning, Auntie will have something even better for you."
Mengyu watched Gougou with compassion, as his situation mirrored her childhood. Both adopted by foster parents because they couldn’t have children, and both suffered after their foster parents had their own child (in truth, Mengyu’s suffering had to do with the Nan Family, unknown to her past life).
In her previous life, after meeting Gougou, she often secretly brought him food, which often led to scolding and beatings from Old Lady Zhou.
When she was sold to Tiger Valley, Gougou was only three years old. By the time she escaped from Tiger Valley, Gougou was already thirteen. He was a child who knew how to repay kindness, aware he survived thanks to Mengyu, and thus always felt grateful to her.
Mengyu managed to escape Tiger Valley with his help.
Yes, it was Gougou who provided the drug to knock out Old Lady Zhou and her son, and when she escaped the village, it was Gougou who scouted the path, and drew away the only person he met, allowing her to escape Tiger Valley.
Now, Gougou, though only four, was already resented because his foster parents had a baby brother. If they weren’t worried that his departure would take the baby brother with him, they would have sold him long ago.
But four-year-old Gougou was as small as a child under three, severely malnourished, making him skinny and tiny.
