Hearing this, Lentinus edodes nodded his head, got up and walked out of the door.
The sky gradually turned dark, leaving a trace of ink on the azure sea. Soong Shiyan wrapped her coat tightly around herself and stood by the sea. As she listened to the distant waves of the sea lapping against the rocks, she closed her eyes and contemplated.
Up till now, she had already been in the Gaoshun Island for more than a month. At that time, her abdomen was injured and she desperately needed surgery. However, medical conditions on the island were limited and there were no operable hospitals. Fortunately, her uncle knew Chinese medicine, and he also knew some medical skills. Under her uncle's care, her wounds were able to gradually heal.
Soong Shiyan opened her eyes and opened her palm, looking at the tiny bullet in her palm. She was becoming more and more confused about her origins. Just who was he? Why were there gunshot wounds on his body, and why did he fall into the sea? She put the bullet in her pocket, pulled out a small mirror, and studied her face. However, this was clearly her face, but why did she have this strange feeling — although this face was somewhat familiar, this face was not hers?
"Ai!" Soong Shiyan's mind was still blank. She sighed and scratched her head, feeling extremely frustrated. She put the small mirror back into her pocket and finally took out a bright jewel necklace from around her neck and held it in her hand to carefully examine it. Perhaps this necklace was the only thing that could prove her identity. This gemstone necklace was worn on her neck at that time. It was luxurious and exquisite, and it seemed priceless. Soong Shiyan couldn't help but feel that her identity was extraordinary. Otherwise, how could she possess such a luxurious necklace?
She had wanted to go to the city and report this, to find out who she was, to recover her lost memories. However, in her heart, there was always a voice telling her that she couldn't go. It was as if there was some man-eating monster in the bustling city.
Moreover, why was she standing by the sea with a trace of fear in her heart? She clearly loved the sea, but why did she have an indescribable resistance to it?
The sound of light footsteps came from behind her. Soong Shiyan didn't need to guess to know who it was. She turned her head and looked at the lentinus edodes not too far away. Smiling, she asked, "Lentinus edodes, is something the matter?" That day, if it wasn't for the mushrooms pulling her up to the top of the reef, perhaps she would have already been drowned or frozen to death by the sea. Therefore, Soong Shiyan's heart was filled with gratitude towards the lentinus edodes. Naturally, she was extremely friendly towards him as well.
Hearing this, the lentinus edodes pointed at the house in the distance and made a gesture as if it was going to eat.
Soong Shiyan smiled and put the gem back on her neck. She walked up to the mushroom and said, "Let's go home to eat!"
Mushroom slowly followed behind her. Soong Shiyan suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at him helplessly. Seeing this, the lentinus edodes thought that they had done something wrong, hurriedly lowered their heads, and nervously stopped where they were.
Soong Shiyan helplessly sighed when she saw this.
Even though Lentinus edodes was tall, its face was pretty handsome. Even the idols and celebrities on TV could not compare to him. However, he could not speak, and was somewhat foolish. Thus, there were always some mischievous children on this island that would tease him. Lentinus edodes also did not resist, and always let those children bully him. The old man knew that the lentinus edodes were being bullied, so he was naturally angry and wanted to teach those children a lesson. Unfortunately, those children were not that old and had been living on the island since they were young. The parents and uncles were rarely seen, and the uncle couldn't bring himself to teach them a lesson, so he could only give up. When Soong Shiyan found out about the situation of the lentinus edodes, she took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the lentinus edodes. Naturally, the uncle happily agreed. In the following days, whenever someone bullied the lentinus edodes again, Soong Shiyan would stand up for him at the first possible moment. But even so, the lentinus edodes did not dare to have too much contact with her.
"Yo, isn't this Uncle Liu's silly son that he picked up?" "Why did you come here?" A mocking voice came from not too far behind him.
When Lentinus edodes heard this, its head drooped even lower, trembling slightly, and it didn't even know where to put its hands.
Upon seeing this, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but furrow her brows. She turned around and coldly sized up the person who had just spoken.
"You big fool, the people on the island said that you picked up a beautiful daughter-in-law from a pile of reefs and brought her home. I did not believe it in the beginning, but I never thought that a fool like you would have such good fortune!" That person smiled sinisterly and walked towards Soong Shiyan.
Although Soong Shiyan was currently wearing rustic clothes, it was still difficult to conceal her good looks and outstanding temperament. Soong Shiyan looked at the man in front of her and immediately felt nauseous. She frowned, trying her best to hold it in as she took two steps back, distancing herself from the man. However, the man still didn't know how to react. He took two more steps forward. Seeing that no one was around, he actually made a move against Soong Shiyan. He touched Soong Shiyan's smooth cheek and pinched her waist.
Soong Shiyan was frightened. A few scattered memories flashed through her mind. A few shadows pounced on the woman lying on the ground, and roughly tore off her clothes, causing an evil and lustful laugh to ring out. Then, the heart-wrenching screams of a woman could be heard. The helplessness and despair in her voice actually made Soong Shiyan feel it as well.
Soong Shiyan's face turned pale and her body trembled. She looked at the man in front of her and asked in a high-pitched voice, "What are you trying to do?"
"You're so pretty, tell me what I want to do with you …" Before the man could finish his words, a figure rushed up and knocked him far away.
When Soong Shiyan heard the man's words, she felt the disgust in her heart grow even stronger. A sharp pain in her brain caused her to slump to the ground. Within the abandoned warehouse, the men's heavy breaths, vulgar laughter, and the women's despairing cries … The woman in the warehouse had a face completely different from his own. That woman was not him! But why did she feel the same, wishing that she could tear those men into pieces?
Soong Shiyan shook her head vigorously, trying to throw this memory that did not belong to her out of her mind. When she came back to her senses, she saw that the lentinus edodes had been pressed down by the man and received several heavy punches. The man brandished his fists as he cursed loudly, "A fool and a mute! How dare you attack me without even seeing what I'm up to!?" He was tired of living! This old man will teach you today what 'measure your strength and do your best' is! "
Soong Shiyan watched as the man punched the lentinus edodes a few times without any ability to resist. The miserable state it was in made Soong Shiyan unable to bear it any longer. Soong Shiyan gritted her teeth and stood up from the ground. She ran to the side of the lentinus edodes and firmly grabbed onto a tuft of the man's hair, refusing to let go.
"Get up, you're not allowed to hit him again!" Soong Shiyan roared.
The man covered his hair and pushed Soong Shiyan down to the ground. When the man saw this, he turned around and continued to wave his fist towards the lentinus edodes.
