บท 208: Heart of the Lake

Memory was like a dog eager to please its owner. As long as you something to chew on, it would come back with something in its mouth.

Gu Shenwei had a strong feeling that he had met the Weis before, but he couldn't remember the exact details. He doubted his memory. To him, even though he spent nearly three years working in Stone Castle, it seemed longer than a lifetime. Recollecting the events that occurred three years ago was harder than crossing the widest river alone.

But he still believed that he would get a few basic facts right.

He had only been six or seven years old when his sister Cuilan got married. He knew nothing, only to blindly address him "brother-in-law". Until he realized that his sister had married into the Wei family rather than his brother-in-law joining the Gu family, he had little impression of his "brother-in-law" and had no intention to get to know him.
