"Older brother Hua -" Lianhua wanted to chase after him, but her father stopped her and said, "Enough, let him go back to his home." After such an incident had occurred, how could they expect that child to stay here and do nothing?

"Big Kui, Second Gouzi, bring Second Shun's wife and Chunni to the shrine. Keep a close watch over them."

"Understood."

Li Man felt like a silkworm. Li Hua had tightly wrapped the robe around her so that not even her eyes were showing.

Li Mo was also holding her especially securely. Her face was pressed against his chest, and she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.

It didn't take long before they arrived home. Li Mo brought her straight to her bed in the western hut.

Unwilling to wait any longer, Li Man tugged down Li Hua's robe. He had wrapped her so tightly that it felt hard to breathe.

"Are you okay?" Li Mo didn't dare to look at her exposed arm and hastily rewrapped Li Hua's robe around her. "You must have felt scared."

Actually, Li Man was feeling okay. She was just startled when that girl had grabbed her. She didn't think it was a big deal that her arm had been exposed.

Seeing that Li Man was only blankly blinking her large eyes without saying a word, Li Mo thought she had been scared too badly and hadn't recovered yet. His heart was filled guilt, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Fortunately, at this time, Li Hua had returned home too. Lo Mo hurriedly got up and said, "Fourth brother, say something to help her feel better."

After saying this, he led Li Shu to leave the room with him.

Li Man blankly looked at Li Hua, then she picked up a branch that she had left on the windowsill and wrote on the ground, "What was happening before?"

"It's nothing. It's already been resolved." Li Hua looked at her with a great deal of pity and tenderness. Since this girl had been brought into their family, her life hadn't been going smoothly. Previously, she had almost been hanged. And now, today, people had said such slanderous words about her.

"It seemed like those people were targeting me?" Even if Li Man wasn't especially acute, she could sense the feelings those people felt towards her.

Li Hua took the branch from her hand and wrote, "You don't need to be afraid. We're here for you." After writing this, he softly placed his hands on her shoulders. With a gentle, but firm gaze, he looked at her asked, "Do you believe me?"

(T/N: The floor in the hut is most likely just dirt, that's why Li Man is able to easily write on the floor with a branch.)

Chapter 38 – Birthmark

It felt as if the teenage boy's clear and clean gaze could purify her thoughts . Li Man suddenly felt as if her emotions weren't as unsettled as before .

Seeing that her expression was gradually improving for the better, Li Hua gently smiled . "Alright, don't have any wild thoughts . Rest for a bit . I'm going to go prepare lunch . "

Seeing him turning around to leave, Li Man grabbed his hand in panic . "You still haven't told me what happened . "

"Huh?" Li Hua turned his head to look at her .

Li Man pointed at the words that she had previously written, then she hand the branch to him . "Tell me . "

Li Hua seemed to be internally wrestling with what to tell her . Perhaps, it would better if she didn't know the truth . And so, he wrote out, "It was just a dispute between neighbors . It didn't have anything to do with you . It's already been resolved . "
