Chapter 154 Slander
Let's not talk about the location of Jiang Anning's house. It is in the middle of the village, in a very remote place, with few families nearby.
That is to say, their village is located in a very remote location. The few roads passing by are not very close to their place. If you want to get to their village, you have to take a long detour to get there.
Who would go so far away to ask for water?
Not to mention that their village cannot be seen from the main road outside.
Not to mention that Aunt Fang and Sui Ran were murmuring in their hearts, even Jiang Anning found it strange.
I just vaguely felt that this man looked familiar, so I softened my heart a little, and then I agreed.
She took a bowl of water, opened the door again, and handed it to the man.
Wang Shang was not pretentious, as if he was really thirsty, he drank the whole bowl of water in big gulps.
"Thank you, little lady."
As he said this, he retracted his hand when he handed the bowl back.
Jiang Anning was slightly stunned when she saw that the bowl she was about to receive moved further away from her.
"Men and women are not intimate, and I am a stranger passing by. The young lady is kind-hearted and is willing to give me a drink of water to relieve my urgent need. There is no way I can repay the kindness to the young lady."
Wang Shang said solemnly: "I have used this bowl now. I think the lady will not use it again. It will cause losses to the lady. I think it is better for the lady to sell this bowl to me."< br>
? ? ? ? ?
Jiang Anning looked at the person with a blank expression.
It took a while before I found my voice: "Young master, you don't have to be like this..."
It's just a bowl, and besides, it's not like it can't be cleaned.
There is no question of whether a man or a woman can kiss each other.
This person is thinking too much.
She stretched out her hand to take the bowl back, but Wang Shang retreated further.
"Young lady, you'd better sell this bowl to me, otherwise I'll feel really bad."
Wang Shang's attitude was firm and non-negotiable.
Jiang Anning:......
She suddenly remembered some folk legends about borrowing luck.
Could this man have such thoughts?
Maybe you haven’t heard that buying a bowl from someone else’s house can buy someone’s life...
Or if you buy this bowl, you can buy the family's wealth and luck.
Could it be some new way of saying it?
Otherwise, this man's behavior would be too strange.
It's really hard to figure out why he is like this.
You come to someone else's house out of nowhere just to buy a bowl?
Oh, no, I also spit.
I seem to have heard that borrowing water is equivalent to borrowing wealth.
Could it be that this man came to her house to borrow money?
Jiang Anning was speechless by this idea of hers.
This man must have thought so hard that he would go to such a remote place to ask a country girl to borrow money from her...
It can't be that she has some magical destiny.
Jiang Anning made herself laugh as soon as she thought wildly.
"Although I don't know why the young master insists on buying such a bowl from my house, but since the young master has such a request and feels that if I don't let you take this bowl away, you will have a guilty conscience and have trouble sleeping and eating, then I really don't It’s not easy to be a bad person.”
Hearing what she said, Wang Shang thought she was going to agree, and a happy smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Not wanting Jiang Anning to change the topic, she stepped forward and snatched the water bowl from his hand, and threw the bowl decisively on the big stone nearby.
The white and clean porcelain bowl fell apart instantly, making a crackling sound.
Aunt Fang and Sui Ran who were in the yard heard the noise and ran out quickly.
Jiang Anning looked at Wang Shang calmly: "In this way, the young master will not have to worry about the incompatibility between men and women, or if the young master has any disease, he will be worried that it will be transmitted to me through this bowl, which will cause uneasy conscience."
"Young master, do you think it's okay?"
Wang Shang stared blankly at the broken white porcelain bowl, feeling uneasy for a moment.
Was the bowl in his hand just now?
Jiang Anning was far away from him just now, right?
There are even steps to where she was just now, right?
How did she fool him into rushing in front of him and snatching the bowl from his hand?
He is the number one master in Ouchi, right?
After being a killer for so many years and killing so many people, no one has ever been able to get close to him without his permission.
Even if you look at the martial arts world, there are few people who can be his rival.
Even though he was tired of fighting and killing, licking blood on the tip of a knife all day long, he stayed in Jiang'an County and coveted comfort and enjoyment, and refused to return to the capital.
But he never slacked off in martial arts, and he kept improving his body skills.
What I am afraid of is that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
If he gets lazy, he will be killed by a genius killer who appears from nowhere on some unknown day.
Just like him, ruthlessly harvesting other people's lives.
Obviously he felt that he had become stronger.
Why did Jiang Anning, a weak woman with no strength, approach him so easily and snatch the bowl from his hand?
If just now, what Jiang Anning had taken away was not the bowl in his hand, but his life...
Does he have time to fight back or dodge?
Wang Shang was confused.
He thought about it over and over, but he really couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Anning......
When did it start and grow into something he didn't recognize at all?
Has he neglected something in the past eight years?
Who was behind this, secretly tampering with him and Jiang Wei... It might even be other forces and informants that he didn't know about, secretly cultivating Jiang Anning?
Still, this Jiang Anning is not who he thought she was...
Could it be that she has been very good at pretending since she was a child and is a deep-minded person, and they were all deceived?
Does Jiang Wei know?
That one, do you know?
In the blink of an eye, Wang Shang thought about many possibilities.
"I took the liberty."
He suppressed the panic and confusion in his heart, and said apologetically: "If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he took out a dozen banknotes from his sleeve pocket and stuffed them into everyone's hands without allowing anyone to react.
Then he bowed his hands and said in a hurry: "Consider these as my compensation to the young lady. I hope the young lady will not ruin her mood because of my abruptness."
After saying that, he left in a hurry without looking back.
"Eh?"
Jiang Anning shouted to him to return the banknote. Unexpectedly, the man didn't run or jump when he looked at it, but in the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters away, turned behind a straw pile, and then disappeared again. No trace was found. ? ? ? ? ? ?
Everyone in Jiang Anning was dumbfounded.
Even Aunt Fang and Sui Ran, who hurried out after hearing the sound, were shocked.
"This..."
Are you afraid that you encountered some mountain elf?
How could a normal person swoop so far away and disappear in the blink of an eye?
"An Ning, what's going on with you?"
Jiang Anning looked down at the banknote in his hand, and then at the place where Wang Shang had just disappeared, with a blank look on his face.
"I don't know either."
Who knows what this man who appeared out of nowhere is doing.
She told everyone about what happened in general, and even told her suspicions and worries that someone might have learned some vicious tricks and wanted to lend her life or luck.
After saying that, she lowered her head in embarrassment: "...It's not that I'm superstitious, it's just that this man's appearance is too strange."
No matter who it is, if they suddenly encounter such a thing, they will feel a little nervous, right?
"You are right to be cautious!"
Aunt Fang said with a serious face: "This man's appearance is indeed too bizarre, and his behavior is really weird. If you look at the way he looked when he left just now, how does he look like a normal person? You can't tell. Just something changed!”
"Aunt Fang is right!"
Sui Ran was also at the side, and said with a serious face: "I have heard what you are talking about before. It is said that someone will come to a stranger's house, with the excuse of borrowing a bowl of water. Once you give this bowl of water to If he doesn’t, he will borrow his wealth.”
"It is even very possible that if you meet those who are righteous, your life will be borrowed."
"Although folk rumors cannot be fully believed, they may not be tenable."
"But since the older generation passed down such words, there must be some truth to it."
"You should be more cautious."
Sui Ran looked at Jiang Anning worriedly, feeling very scared: "There are some things that you would rather believe than not."
Jiang Anning nodded: "I think so too."
"If nothing really happens, everything will be fine."
"But if you really have something to say, it's always right to be cautious."
"So as not to accidentally fall into other people's schemes."
Aunt Fang and Sui Ran believed Jiang Anning's words deeply.
"It's just..."
Jiang Anning looked at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand with a headache: "What should I do with the money?"
Aunt Fang and Sui Ran looked at each other.
Neither of them had ever seen so much money in their lives.
However, they didn't dare to touch the money with unknown origins, unknown purpose, or whether there was any hidden secret behind it.
I'm afraid it will damage the blessings.
Aunt Fang thought for a while and couldn't help but suggest: "I think, how about taking this money to a temple or Taoist temple and donating it as incense money?"
"No matter whether there is any conspiracy or curse on this money, let's give this money to the Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Taoist Master Tianzun. Even if there is really some talk of borrowing fate, the leader of Buddhism and Taoism will help offset it. ”
Sui Ran couldn't stop nodding from the side: "I think the method Aunt Fang said is feasible!"
"An Ning, what do you think?"
Jiang Anning felt that it was okay?
She thought for a while and asked Aunt Xiang Fang: "Auntie, do you know where the nearest temple or Taoist temple is from our place?"
Aunt Fang frowned and thought for a while: "It seems... there is a Empress Temple over there in Dongyao Town?"
After she finished speaking, she was a little unsure: "Is the Empress Temple okay?"
Jiang Anning doesn't understand this either.
The two of them couldn't help but focus on Sui Ran again.
Sui Ran racked his brains and thought over and over again, and in the end he only said one sentence: "The Empress Temple should also work, right?"
"If that doesn't work, why don't you go to the Dragon King Temple?"
Besides, she couldn't think of any other temples or Taoist temples.
The three people, who didn't really believe in the divine things, were a little stumped.
Jiang Anning sighed and said calmly: "That's all. I'll go to the town tomorrow to ask around. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the county and ask. It's not like we can't even find a temple or Taoist temple in a place as big as ours." Are you there?”
After hearing this, Aunt Fang and Sui Ran nodded: "It works!"
Not far away, several women who listened to Aunt Xiurong's words decided to go back and talk to the men at home about this matter after struggling for a long time.
Several men, headed by Chief Jiang, became very angry after hearing this. They became angry and angrily came to Jiang Anning's house, wanting to find out what was going on.
As luck would have it, he saw Jiang Anning holding a bunch of banknotes in her hand, handing them to Aunt Fang.
In fact, Jiang Anning just showed it to Aunt Fang and Sui Ran, asking them how to deal with these hot bills.
However, in the eyes of the men in the village from afar, they suddenly saw Jiang Anning giving Aunt Fang and Sui Ran money, lots and lots of money.
"Too much!"
Zhou Ran stood next to Chief Jiang and said with great indignation: "This Jiang Anning is so rich, but he is not even willing to give us two hundred taels of silver. He simply does not regard us as real relatives!"
"If you ask me, don't say two hundred taels, even three hundred taels or four hundred taels. It's not like she can't take it out. Why not?"
"We all live in the same village. She is a little too cruel. Although she has made a lot of money, she only cares about her own popular food and drinks, and has no regard for the life and death of our uncles and elders."
"Chief, as the head of the clan, you have now replaced Jiang Wei as the leader of the village, but you are the backbone of our entire village. You cannot ignore this matter!"
Zhou Ran said very righteously: "Whatever we say today, we have to let Jiang Anning give us an explanation!"
Patriarch Jiang glared at the person fiercely and sneered: "Give me an explanation? What explanation?"
"Why should Jiang Anning give us an explanation?"
Zhou Ran was extremely shocked: "Clan leader?!"
How could this old man say such a thing?
Could it be that he wants to live alone and pretend to be a good person here?
Zhou Ran's face darkened, and his heart was filled with resentment.
Why are these people named Jiang so ungrateful to each other?
There was Jiang Genshan who just stopped being obedient, and now even Clan Chief Jiang, the old Dengxi, is making harsh remarks and not giving him face?
This is really unreasonable!
Zhou Ran was secretly angry in his heart: When he becomes famous one day, he will have to make these people look good!
Patriarch Jiang sneered, but did not notice Zhou Ran's dissatisfaction and anger: "You also said that this girl is cruel!"
"Since he is cruel, he must have never thought about our life and death."
He let out a long sigh: "It's my fault that I didn't see how ruthless this little girl is, and thought she was soft and easy to deceive."
"I should have thought of it a long time ago. How can a vicious woman who can send her fiancé and his family to jail just as easily have such a soft temper?"
Chief Jiang's eyes were cold: "Looking at it now, I'm afraid we were all deceived by this damn girl from the beginning!"
"Perhaps, even the Zhao family suffered from this misfortune suddenly because of this girl's many years of planning!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "What do you say? Is it possible that the Zhao family was innocently killed... This is impossible, right? Girl An Ning doesn't look like a scheming, deep-minded person!"
