Sleeping until noon, He Mu woke up feeling hungry.
Getting up and putting on the special training clothes, He Mu opened the refrigerator and took out a frozen fish.
The fish was vacuum-packed and had already been processed, so it could be eaten with a little heating.
If it was raw fish, it would have to be cooked for a long time, so most of what was sold in supermarkets was such frozen cooked meat.
…
After eating the fish, He Mu went into his big brother's room.
Since his big brother became a Red Mist Fighter, his room had transformed into a simple training room.
Apart from training equipment, there was only a small single bed.
Looking at the dusty equipment on the floor, He Mu couldn't return to his senses for a long time.
It was as if he saw the teenager who had trained late into the night, but didn't dare to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing his sleep.
"Umph…"
He Mu shook his head. Under the pressure of the training clothes, he bent down with force and lifted a pair of dumbbells on the ground.
This pair of 300 pounds dumbbells was made from some kind of monster's bones. The density was 10 times that of iron. Ordinary people had a really hard time moving it a little, let alone lifting it.
Feeling the terrifying weight, He Mu recalled some images from the past.
Finally, all these images turned into his motivation.
…
Unknowingly, 10 days had passed, and it was the middle of July.
In these 10 days, He Mu had only gone to the Red Mist Alliance once to purchase supplies.
The rest of the time was spent almost entirely on cultivation.
In the beginning, one fish a day was enough to sustain his appetite for the whole day. By the fifth day, it became one and a half fish, and by the tenth day, it became two fish, which was barely enough.
In addition, the 300 pounds dumbbells in his hands began to feel as light as nothing, gradually failing to let him exercise effectively. He needed to use other equipment and wear the training clothes in order to enter that exhausted state.
…
This day, He Mu woke up from his sleep, and instead of eating and exercising as usual, he changed into a clean set of clothes and left the house.
He felt that it was almost time to focus on a wave of missions.
But to his surprise, just after walking out of the neighborhood, Zhou Yue scurried out of nowhere.
"Big Brother Mu! Wait!"
He Mu stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhou Yue who was walking over quickly.
"Big Brother Mu, the person you asked me to keep an eye on; I haven't seen him lately!"
He Mu was speechless.
His big brother's posthumous letter had instructed him to inform a girl named Lin Wei of his death.
Although his big brother's death was known to almost everyone in Nancheng, he was determined to make sure that what was mentioned in the posthumous letter was done.
But since his big brother joined the army, Lin Wei basically stopped walking past their doorstep. Now that six or seven years had passed, he didn't know her home address and how she looked. He had to put in more effort to find her in this situation.
Zhou Yue's family owned a restaurant, so they had many opportunities to meet people and gather information. A few days ago, He Mu asked Zhou Yue to help him pay attention and see if there was news of Lin Wei.
"Don't leave me hanging, is there any news at all?"
Zhou Yue was a person who wrote his emotions on his face, and when He Mu saw his smile, he knew he was bound to have something.
"Big Brother Mu, how did you guess? I do have news about her, but she has already left Nancheng, so I'm afraid you won't be able to find her even if you want to."
Zhou Yue said with a puzzled look.
"Left Nancheng? How so?"
He Mu continued to ask.
"Just yesterday, two young ladies came to the store to dine. All of a sudden, I heard the name Lin Wei being mentioned, so I went up to them to waive their bill and asked for details."
Zhou Yue spoke slowly.
He Mu listened carefully at the side.
"The two young ladies were Lin Wei's classmates in Nancheng Normal University. Three or four years ago, after they graduated from the university, they joined Nancheng Junior High School as teachers together.
"They mentioned Lin Wei because she taught her students well and was transferred to a big city.
"The reason why Lin Wei was mentioned during dinner was because of this!
"By the way, they sounded like they admired her, but their tone was sour. I guess they are green with envy!"
"Transferred to a big city…"
Hearing this result, He Mu was slightly relieved.
It was great news that the young lady was living well. Regardless of the feelings between her and his big brother, he certainly hoped that she could stay happy.
"Yes, she went to a big city… I think it's Lingzhou."
At this point, Zhou Yue added another statement, seemingly unaware of the complications involved.
He Mu shivered slightly, before quickly raising his head and asking: "Do you know when she went?"
"Those two young ladies said it was a week ago. Back then, the school organized the students and teachers for a send off."
Zhou Yue was startled when he saw He Mu's expression suddenly become serious, and subconsciously took two steps backward.
A week ago…
At that moment, He Mu's mood instantly became complex.
News of his big brother's incident spread throughout Nancheng 10 days ago.
Three days after his accident, Lin Wei was transferred to Lingzhou as a teacher. How could that be a coincidence? How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
He knew how difficult leaving Nancheng for Lingzhou was. This must be the result of Lin Wei's efforts.
Did… Lin Wei thinks the same as him?
At this thought, He Mu was both moved and regretful.
His big brother wrote the posthumous letter every year and obviously didn't give Lin Wei any promises, otherwise the posthumous letter wouldn't be as simple as making He Mu notify her of his death.
If not, he would have added another sentence like, "Don't let her wait any longer.".
But there wasn't such a statement.
This meant that the two of them only had that tacit agreement in mind and didn't make it clear.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't even a formal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
That was how it was. Lin Wei actually found a way to go to Lingzhou City because of his big brother's incident.
One had to know that she was just an ordinary person…
What kind of precious friendship was that?
"Big Brother Mu, what's wrong?"
Noticing that He Mu's mood was a bit off, Zhou Yue asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, the wind is a little strong."
He Mu looked away and said softly.
After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Do you know what's going on at her home?"
"I don't know, but you can go to Nancheng Junior High School to inquire about it."
Zhou Yue scratched his head and said.
"Okay. Zhou Yue, thanks a lot."
He Mu turned around and the expression on his face returned to normal.
"Hey, why are we still being so polite with each other? All right, I got to head back and greet the guests!"
Zhou Yue said with a shrug.
"Sure. See you."
…
After waiting for Zhou Yue to leave, He Mu couldn't help but look back at his home with a lot of emotions in his heart.
"Big Brother. You see, apart from me, there are also others who care about you so much. Don't worry, I will make sure your feelings are known."
He Mu said to himself inwardly.
In fact, at that moment, he already had some understanding of his big brother's intentions.
If Lin Wei was able to forget about his big brother quickly after his death, him informing her of his death would allow her to start a new life as soon as possible, and forget about old friendships.
But in case Lin Wei couldn't forget about his big brother, she would behave like this.
In that case, if He Mu informed her of his big brother's death, and that she was the only woman mentioned in his posthumous letter…
Would it have any meaning to Lin Wei?
It seemed that the more she cared, the more meaningful it would be.
At least he should let her know that his big brother had her in his heart.
It was also a confession that wasn't really a confession.
