Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 261: 

Personally Confirming

Excited, Murong Lingran exclaimed, "Linhe Village? Is it the Linhe Village that is just beyond the Wuming Mountains?"

Uncle Kou nodded, "Yes. However, although the child indeed has a birthmark on his hand, the person claiming to be his second brother might be an imposter. Still, I believe the possibility of him being your brother is extremely low."

The smile on Murong Lingran's face froze, and she asked in a daze, "Isn't he my sixth brother?"

Uncle Kou continued, "My men have also seen the child, asked him a few questions, but he showed no response to your family. Also, he speaks a bit slowly and has some issues with his speech."

The siblings were astonished, "Mentally challenged?"

"It's unlikely. He can answer any question, just a bit slow in speaking. He has a scar on his forehead, as if it was cut by a knife. His appearance only shares some resemblance with the portrait, but it could be due to malnutrition, making him look different. Therefore, the only matching points are the birthmark, age, and the time of disappearance according to what you've told me."

As Murong Lingran listened, her heart tightened. A scar on the face – if it was indeed her sixth brother, could it be related to the incident when she fell down the slope that day?

"Did you find out how the scar on his face happened?" she inquired anxiously.

Kou Shu replied, "The people from Chunqiu Yahang said they found the child in a small grove outside the city, and by the time they found him, the wound on his face had already healed. When they asked the child, he couldn't provide a clear explanation, so they remain unaware."

Murong Lingran furrowed her brows again, "Wasn't there any other child beside him?"

"No, only him," replied Kou Shu.

Murong Zong frowned, "Uncle Kou, can we personally go and confirm? Regardless, that child has a birthmark on his left wrist. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we won't give up."

Uncle Kou hesitated for a moment, "The people from the escort bureau are afraid of disappointing customers and affecting their reputation. Generally, they only inform customers when they are 90% sure they found the right person. However, considering A’Zong's face, if you're willing to confirm in person, I can accompany you. But don't set your hopes too high. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I can go anytime; it depends on when you are available."

Murong Lingran glanced at her elder brother and, seeing him nod, said seriously, "Then let's go now."

Uncle Kou helplessly smiled, "I understand your urgency, but it's not early now, and the distance to the Linhe Village is quite considerable. By the time you arrive, it might be completely dark. Moreover, you'll have to traverse parts of the Wuming Mountains. It's risky to pass through there at night. It's better to go tomorrow during daylight."

Murong Lingran wanted to say she wasn't afraid, especially with her Hei Mao, but she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. There was still a whole cart of belongings on the carriage. She had no choice but to nod.

The two hurriedly returned to Lihua Village and repeated what Uncle Kou had said to Murong Zhe and Murong Xuan.

The three of them were naturally extremely excited. Just like when Murong Lingran first heard the news, even though Uncle Kou said it might not be their sixth brother, they were eager to confirm immediately.

After listening to Murong Lingran's persuasion, they restrained their excited hearts and had to wait until the next day.

On the second day, as a father, Murong Zhe would certainly go and see for himself. Even though the people from the escort bureau said it might not be their youngest son, what if it was?

Murong Zong and Uncle Kou were familiar and had matters to discuss, so he was definitely going too.

Murong Lingran also wanted to personally see, so she would go as well.

Therefore, the ones left behind to take care of the business were Murong Xuan and Murong Kuan.
