Chapter 1140 - 49 Seven watches (of the night)
A cool breeze brushed against Lin Yuan’s face, and she involuntarily shivered, continuing to walk forward and slowly starting to ask around.
As she had expected, many didn’t wait for her to finish speaking before shooing her away, after all, it was approaching noon, and many were out shopping, it was the busy time for business.
Lin Yuan left an old man’s stall, feeling the hope in her heart gradually diminish to nothing.
Just as she was about to move to the next stall, Lin Yuan suddenly saw a young woman selling small jewelry on a street stand, her head bowed as she fiddled with a hairpin in her hands. Her small stand was on the ground, with not many customers; had it not been for the fact other stalls were surrounded by people while hers was deserted, Lin Yuan might not have noticed her.
As if by some mysterious force, Lin Yuan found herself walking toward the woman’s stand.
"Big sister, may I ask you something?"
Only when she drew near did Lin Yuan realize what the woman was doing—she was holding a broken hairpin, which, despite being broken, was very delicate and beautiful, with some dirt visible on it. Lin Yuan’s first thought was whether the hairpin could have been picked up from the ground.
Upon hearing the voice, the woman raised her head. When she looked up, Lin Yuan almost gasped and fell backward. The woman had a large red birthmark on her pretty cheek, which covered nearly one-fifth of her face, coincidentally right near her right eye.
