Chapter 197 Adventure
Hua Xiali was very moved after hearing this. He didn't expect that everyone's house could be preserved so well because of the old man. "Uncle, you are really great, but aren't you afraid to live alone in the mountains? What if something happens and no one finds out? Why don't you go to the city and live with your wife and children?"

"When I was young, my wife died during childbirth, and the child was gone. I never remarried, so I have no children. I didn't move out because I was afraid that after I moved out, my wife wouldn't be able to find her way home." The old man's voice sounded painful.

Hua Xiali was deeply distressed after hearing this and quickly apologized, "Uncle, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." The old man shook his head. "My wife is very good, and I am happy to talk about her with everyone..."

Later, the old man told Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi about the story between him and his wife. His wife's name was Mo Jingchun and his name was Fang Juexia. Both of their names were very poetic and very well matched.

Mo Jingchun was betrothed by her family since she was a child. When she reached age, she married her childhood sweetheart under the arrangement of her parents. However, her childhood sweetheart was a treacherous villain. When he was studying in the city, he found a woman in the city. After marrying Mo Jingchun, he left Mo Jingchun alone at home. He was unwilling to touch her, nor was he willing to give her a child, leaving her a widow.

In order to help Mo Jingchun, her parents-in-law gave her a lot of advice, but this not only failed to make the man feel good about her, but pushed the man further away.

Two or three years passed like this. When Mo Jingchun witnessed her husband hugging another woman, she was completely driven crazy. Then she ran around and disappeared.

Then her husband announced to the public that she was dead and married that woman.

Young Mr. Fang went to the city for some business. When he came back at night, he passed by a small cave and saw a pair of white feet inside. He was startled. Then he bravely entered the cave and saw a beautiful girl lying inside. This was Mo Jingchun.

Moved with compassion, he took Mo Jingchun home for treatment and care. His brother and sister-in-law were afraid of spending money, so Fang Juexia separated from the family and took care of Mo Jingchun's medical expenses and care alone.

After Mo Jingchun's injury improved, his spirit also returned to normal and he was no longer in the crazy state he had been in before. Then Fang Juexia went to Mo Jingchun's house to propose marriage.

Mo Jingchun's father was an old-fashioned man. He thought it was shameful for a woman to marry two men. He just treated Mo Jingchun as dead and didn't care about her affairs. So Mo Jingchun married Fang Juexia in the Fang family.

After marriage, the two of them lived a loving and harmonious life. Fang Juexia only allowed Mo Jingchun to cook and clean at home and did not allow her to go out to work in the fields or bask in the sun.

Later, Mo Jingchun became pregnant. Fang Juexia was very happy. In order to give Mo Jingchun something good to eat during the confinement period, he went into the mountains to hunt. Unexpectedly, he almost fell to death. He was carried home in a coma. Mo Jingchun was stimulated and had a miscarriage, and then she had a dystocia, resulting in two deaths.

When Fang Juexia woke up, it was already the seventh day after Mo Jingchun's death. He didn't even see his lover for the last time, let alone see her off.

After that, Fang Juexia also went crazy and spent many years in a daze until everyone was about to move away. Then he regained his sanity. He was afraid that if he moved away, Mo Jingchun would not be able to find him, so he stayed and became a village watchman, helping everyone look after the house while waiting for Mo Jingchun.

This is why the village looks like a new one. He even renamed the village "Mo Jingchun Village" because he was afraid that he would forget his wife's name due to Alzheimer's disease. As long as he saw the village name, he would never forget it.

As Hua Xiali listened, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and his heart was choked with pain. He didn't expect that the old man still had such deep affection for her. He didn't expect that the old man had waited for her for decades, knowing that it was impossible to see her again, but he was still waiting.

Suddenly thinking of something, Hua Xiali's eyes widened. Maybe there would be a chance to see each other again. Aren't she and Huo Beixi also separated by Yin and Yang? Isn't the story of Fang Juexia and Mo Jingchun a replica of her story with Huo Beixi?
Huo Beixi died young, and Mo Jingchun also died young.

The old man has been living in the mountain village all his life, and she has also been immersed in misery all her life.

Perhaps the old man and Mo Jingchun will also have their own adventure.

However, Hua Xiali didn’t say much, because this kind of thing really isn’t something that everyone can encounter. After a hundred years, maybe they can meet somewhere else!
While eating, the old man said to Huo Beixi, "Men, you should be nicer to your wives. Don't be as regretful as I am."

If he had not gone hunting that year, he would not have fallen, and his wife would not have had a miscarriage in a panic and given birth prematurely, and she would not have left him so early.

I guess it's because she saw Huo Beixi's cold face and pursed lips, and thought he was difficult to get along with, and that he was not nice to Hua Xiali. But Huo Beixi just looks like that, it doesn't mean he is that kind of person.

"I will follow your teachings, and I hope I can wait for Grandma Mo one day." Huo Beixi said seriously.

The feelings of the older generation are really touching. They are a couple for life, unlike the young people nowadays who don’t understand love and blaspheme love. Once they change their hearts, they say “I want to pursue true love” and hurt others unscrupulously.

After the meal, the old man took out a photo that he had kept for decades. It was in black and white, and the people in the photo were blurry and unclear, but even from the blurry outline one could tell how stunningly beautiful Mo Jingchun was when she took this photo decades ago.

Hua Xiali felt disgusted when she thought of Mo Jingchun's childhood sweetheart, her ex-husband. Since he had someone he liked outside, he could have just not married her. But he ended up marrying her. After marrying her, he was irresponsible and made her a widow. He drove her crazy and even killed her. It was really vicious.

He could obviously refuse the marriage proposal. At most he would be scolded or beaten by his family. As a grown man, he didn't even dare to take responsibility for such a small matter.

"Uncle Fang, can I ask what happened to Grandma Mo's scumbag ex-husband?" Hua Xiali thought to herself. If that scumbag was still alive, she would write him dead. Why should he have children and grandchildren and live out his old age in peace? People like him don't deserve happiness.

The old man looked up at the desolate scenery ahead and said, "He married the woman from the city, but not only did his family go bankrupt, but they also owed a lot of debts because the bride price was high. In order to raise the bride price, their family was seriously injured. But how could the woman endure the hard life in the mountain village? As soon as she got married, she made a fuss every day, making the family restless. Later, when the child was just born, an old man came and took the child away. It was only then that everyone knew that this woman was a concubine of an old man. He actually let his wife down for such a woman..."
