Let the Villain Go

“Hush, be quiet,” his companion hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t you know General Jiang’s temper? Do you dare to gossip about him?”

“Eh, I’m talking about Ye Peitian. He’s really a devil. How many masters’ lives have been buried by his sand?”

“Huh, don’t you know that the murderous demon was here to kill someone and the whole black street was bloodshed.”

Mother Wu passing by the scraps went towards them, “You young people shouldn’t talk nonsense. You haven’t seen it with your own eyes. What do you mean by saying he came to kill someone? I was standing here at that time, so why didn’t I see Ye Peitian killing that person? Huan Shengjie himself wanted to kill him, doesn’t he have the right to fight back?”

A few idlers mingled on the Black Street every day. They were accustomed to her temper. She cursed people, but they didn’t even take it seriously.

“Oh, old lady. You got old and confused. You are even talking for that demon.”

“I didn’t talk nonsense. Ye Peitian was actually pretty good. When he lived here, he helped me many times.” She called the boss, “If you don’t believe me ask boss Wu. Please tell them.

Old Wu talked kindly, “He was pretty good. Every time he bought a bun, he gave me money. When he brought buns, he gave it to a few small beggars at the street.”

Mother Wu was proud, “Look, I told the truth.”

“Unexpectedly, I heard a rare thing today. It seems that the rumours and the reality are also a bit different.”

“Whatever he did, the grievances of those  men have nothing to do with us,” Mother Wu mumbled and dragged the heavy scrap cart forward. The ramp was very steep. The young people just looked at it, but no one came to help.

She couldn’t help thinking of the reticent young man who wore a face mask. Every time she passed by, he would silently push the cart for her.

The last time she saw him, he saved her but unfortunately at that time she was too scared to say a word of thanks.

Mother Wu, who had always had a sharp mouth, had a flash of guilt in her heart.

A young couple passed by her side. The woman looked bright and her posture was sharp. The man was tall and had long legs with a silver mask covering his face.

Obviously, they only passed by to enter the city and weren’t the residents of this barren neighborhood.

Mother’s wheels were stuck on the steps, and she exerted her full strength to pull the front of the cart.

The heavy load suddenly lightened, and the young man who passed by reached out and lifted the rear end of her cart without saying a word, and kept on moving.

“Thank you, young man,” Mother shouted loudly.

The girl walking ahead stopped, said something with a smile, and reached out to touch the face of her lover. He took her hand and squeezed it all the way into the bustling neighborhood.

…

Chu Qianxun took Ye Peitian to her residence. When she opened the door, she regretted it.

She had seen the castle where Ye Peitian lived was clean, neat and spotless.

In contrast, her home could be called a kennel.

But they had already arrived, and she could do nothing. Chu Qianxun gritted her teeth and slammed the door open. She pretended not to see the waste piled up in the corner of the wall, and pulled Ye Peitian into the house.

She scrambled to clean up the place and pushed Ye Peitian to the table. Her face had a rare blush.

“You came here for the first time, sit and don’t move. I will clean this place, and we will eat hot pot later,” Chu Qianxun mentioned buying all the food in large bags.

Ye Peitian didn’t seem to notice the mess in the room. His eyes fell on the flower pots on the window sill that had no fruit. After walking to the flower pots, he saw the plane tree not far from the window.

Only he knew how many times he had stood quietly under the tree, looked up at the window with his head raised, and imagined everything in it.

At that time, he never thought he could really walk in here.
