Chapter 180 Night Visit
"Who, who?"
Jiang Anning was startled by the sudden knock on the door late at night.
She looked up at the sky and saw that it was already midnight.
Unless it's something urgent or something big like a funeral, how could anyone come out and knock on someone else's door in the middle of the night?
"Who is it?"
Jiang Anning walked down the small bamboo building and picked up the hatchet in the basket next to her.
She asked again uncertainly.
Except for the knocking on the door, which was more sincere, there was no other sound.
I don't know who is knocking on the door, but there is still no movement.
Could it be that man just now?
He didn't leave, but hid somewhere else and continued to spy on her.
Or...
Zhao Hai is back?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Anning couldn't help but tighten her grip on the hatchet in her hand.
She glanced down and saw that the hatchet had not been sharpened for a long time. Even in the dark, she could see that the knife was very dull.
There is even a slight rust near the handle of the knife.
At first glance, you can tell that it has not been used for a long time.
I don’t know if it’s fast or not, whether it’s sharp or not?
If this sword swing continues, will it be enough to kill Zhao Hai?
Jiang Anning's hands were shaking.
The bad memories from the past life kept flashing through my mind.
Thinking that she had resisted at first, but was eventually "tamed" by fists, feet and sticks, she became more and more like a docile orc.
The fears that had been engraved in her bones began to wrap around her again, and she gradually became afraid.
He finally calmed down and walked to the door.
Jiang Anning took a deep breath and asked again: "Who?"
"It's me."
A familiar voice sounded softly behind the door.
If Jiang Anning hadn't been so close, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hear him.
That's all, I'm afraid she has to thank her body. After receiving those rewards, her ears and eyesight are much sharper.
However, she had a feeling recently that the barrage was gradually becoming less active.
The [Reward] almost disappeared, and her body seemed to be a little less powerful than when she first received the [Reward].
Now, it seems to be gradually degrading and finally reaching a certain equilibrium point.
She is stronger than before, but weaker than when she first received the reward.
Jiang Anning suppressed her doubts about the changes brought about by the [Barrage], put down the hatchet, and opened the door.
"Auntie, it's so late, are you coming over?"
She looked at Aunt Fang who was sneaking outside the door and had a very serious sense of infidelity, and was even more confused.
His eyes scanned the surroundings intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't find anyone suspicious.
That is, Aunt Fang simply came to find her?
Such a late time...
Jiang Anning couldn't help but look up at the sky. It was still early before dawn, and it was the time when people were sleeping the most.
"Go into the house, come into the house and say."
Aunt Fang pulled Jiang Anning's hand and started to walk into the house.
After taking a few steps, I realized something was wrong, so I turned back and closed the door.
"Let's go, let's go back to the house first."
Aunt Fang was so anxious that she grabbed the man's hand and walked into the house.
Jiang Anning hurriedly stopped: "Hey, eh, aunt, let's go to the bamboo building next to it."
It was so hot in that room that no one could stay at all.
But after saying that, she thought again that she hadn't had time to put away the corpse powder she had just prepared.
"Let's go to the kitchen."
Jiang Anning didn't give anyone time to react. Without saying a word, she pulled the person and walked towards the kitchen.
Aunt Fang was worried, but she didn't resist. She followed the lead and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Anning groped around, found the fire breaker from the small stone grid next to the stove, and blew it gently a few times.
When he saw the light of the fire, he touched a handful of dry weeds, stuffed them into the stove, and lit the fire.
After there was light, she added some dry twigs to the stove.
It wasn't until the fire gradually started to burn that she added more wood to the stove.
The firelight from the stove illuminated the kitchen dimly.
After finishing all this work, Jiang Anning casually brought two small benches over and handed one to Aunt Fang.
She also looked at the person, as if there was something urgent, so she took her time.
When the water in the pot boiled, Jiang Anning took two clean empty bowls, which were nothing fancy. She threw two handfuls of tea leaves in each and boiled them in boiling water.
He brought a bowl to Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang blew and took a sip, but her mouth still felt very hot.
"Hey, ne is bitter!"
“You’ve made all this good tea in vain.”
How can you use such hot water to make tea?
She didn't even need to light a lamp to see, she knew that the tea in the bowl was exactly the same color as brown.
Just like that old black tea.
Jiang Anning touched her nose: "I'm living a rough life. I don't like to study this. If I can drink it and have a little taste, it's pretty good."
"Then you can't waste things!"
Aunt Fang glared at her, but didn't say any more,
After all, it’s the money people spend and the things they buy.
What's the matter with her gesticulating?
Jiang Anning nodded and said "hmm" twice, and did not dwell on this matter: "Auntie, what's the matter with coming here so late?"
Aunt Fang's eyes averted and she was silent for a long time.
Jiang Anning blinked, becoming even more confused.
"Aunt?"
Did he quarrel with Jiang Genshan again?
Jiang Anning couldn't help but speculate in her heart.
She was even thinking about how she should deal with it if it really happened.
She really didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs.
It’s too easy to become someone else inside and out.
"I'll do it..." Aunt Fang hesitated, picked up the bitter tea, and took a few sips to cover up her panic.
Jiang Anning was a little panicked by her actions.
"It's actually okay for me to come."
Aunt Fang laughed: "I just can't sleep, so I came here to chat with you."
She asked the person very seriously: "I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
Jiang Anning smiled: "I happened to be up at night."
She didn't say that she hadn't slept yet.
Not only did she not want to add psychological burden to others, but she also did not want others to know that she had not slept yet.
In order not to notice her, she went to the woods in the evening, picked up those things, and prepared the corpse powder.
Then he associated Zhou Ran's disappearance with her.
What's more, that day, it was she, Aunt Fang and Sui Ran who were fighting in a group together.
It's not that she doesn't trust Fang Shanzi, it's just that she must be on guard against others.
And it is inevitable that people will let down their guard sometimes.
If someone really wanted to inquire about this matter deliberately, Aunt Fang would be fearless and would inadvertently tell the truth about what she said that day.
She didn't want to create any complications. "As long as it doesn't disturb your rest."
Aunt Fang was a little absent-minded, but she didn't notice anything wrong with Jiang Anning.
Her hands on her knees were loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, feeling very tangled and uneasy.
He was about to say something, but by the faint firelight, he looked at Jiang Anning's slightly blurry face, but it still couldn't hide his good-looking face.
After swallowing a few times, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Aunt Fang was confused and couldn't make up her mind.
She felt that she should be honest with Jiang Anning and tell everything frankly.
Otherwise, I'm really sorry that Jiang Anning cared so deeply for her, and I wholeheartedly wanted to help her live a better life!
But if I said it...
Although many years have passed since the incident, and she was not actually in Jiangjiacun at that time.
However, many things that happened back then are bloody and vivid in my mind.
She really didn't dare.
It would be fine if it was just her.
But she still has family.
Her two sons have not yet married, and her daughter has not yet married.
And her man... although she hasn't forgiven him yet and is still angry with him.
I hate him for his indiscretion and anger for his failure to live up to expectations.
But in the end, after hearing Zhou Ran confess those facts frankly, the anger and hatred in her heart had already gradually disappeared in the face of her man's submissive honesty and flattery.
Now, the reason why he hasn't let go yet, is still keeping a cold war, and doesn't give the other party any good face, is just that he hopes that he can be more thoughtful and thoughtful before doing anything in the future.
Always think about the people at home.
He is also worried that if she relents too quickly and forgives too quickly, this man will not only not have a long memory, but will also feel that she is too easy to coax, and as long as she behaves well and pleases, everything can be lifted high and lifted gently. .
From now on, I will become even more unruly.
Implement the things you dare not do now and implement them in the future.
And her natal family.
Jiang Genshan's parents are no longer here.
She has no father-in-law or mother-in-law, and she is not very close to her relatives and elders in the clan, and has little contact with her.
So she is not too worried here.
But on her mother's side, her parents are still alive, and her brother has just gotten married. They are still living in poverty and have not yet lived a good life.
What if it was just because of her temporary kindness and soft-heartedness that she brought trouble to her family...
Just thinking about it, Aunt Fang already felt that she was guilty.
She didn't even dare to think about it anymore.
But...
Seeing Jiang Anning looking over, her eyes full of innocence and trust, Aunt Fang became even more confused.
Whether it was out of gratitude to Jiang Anning for helping her or out of conscience condemnation, she felt that she should tell Jiang Anning the truth truthfully.
well!
Aunt Fang really couldn't make up her mind and kept sighing in her heart.
"Aunt?"
Jiang Anning thought for a while and said considerately: "Auntie, did you encounter any difficulties? It's not convenient to tell you?"
Seeing how troubled this person was, she couldn't help but boldly guess what kind of difficulties the other person had encountered.
"If it's really inconvenient for you to say it, aunt, don't make it difficult for yourself to make a decision that goes against your will."
Jiang Anning is very considerate: "But if there is anything I can do to help, whether it's providing people, effort, or money, I just need to say something."
"You don't have to explain the reason to me."
Aunt Fang's eyes suddenly filled with tears and she was extremely moved.
"Peace..."
She was so choked that she couldn't speak, and she immediately made a decision in her heart.
"I have to tell you about this!"
Look at girl An Ning, trusting her so unreservedly.
Even before she knew what she wanted to say, she had already made a generous promise to help without saying a word.
Why did she still have the nerve to look forward and backward, hesitant?
But on the one hand, she had made a decision in her heart, but when the real thing came and the words came to her lips, she still lost the courage.
"That's it... eh!"
Aunt Fang was really angry at herself for not living up to expectations.
"Girl An Ning, please listen to my aunt's advice. Now that your house has been rented to Sui Ran and his wife, don't come back from now on."
"Sui Ran and his wife are both down-to-earth, and they will definitely not damage your house! Even if they want to damage your house, I will be watching from the side and I will not let them have such an idea!"
"You can live peacefully outside. Don't come back. Leave this village and stay far away from here!"
"Don't come back again!"
"Never come back again."
Aunt Fang emphasized to Jiang Anning over and over again: Don't come back again, stay away from Jiangjia Village.
Jiang Anning frowned in confusion: "Why did Auntie say that suddenly? Did something happen that I don't know about? Or did Auntie hear something or see something?"
Otherwise, why would Aunt Fang come to her house and say such things to her?
Jiang Anning's eyebrows tightened more and more.
She recalled in a daze that that day, when Jiang Xiu'e and others, along with all the women and sisters-in-law in the village, found Chaohuang Embroidery Workshop, they seemed to be looking at her with the same eyes, and hesitated several times.
Could it be that Jiang Xiu'e and Aunt Fang wanted to talk about the same thing?
What secrets does Jiangjiacun hide that she doesn't know about?
"Alas! Anyway... don't ask! Just don't come back to the village in the future."
Aunt Fang sighed: "I didn't mean to drive you away, or that I wanted to help Sui Ran and his wife and take advantage of you. Seeing that you rented out the house, I couldn't wait to leave as soon as possible."
"I..." Aunt Fang looked around warily and lowered her voice: "I'm doing this for your own good!"
"An Ning, after spending so long together, don't you understand what kind of person my aunt is?"
"Auntie will not harm you."
"Be obedient and don't come back again, ah."
Jiang Anning wanted to ask why, but as she spoke, she knew that this matter was probably destined to be fruitless.
Aunt Fang was obviously very secretive about the reason, and most likely she would not tell her the truth.
Even if she insists on asking, she is just making things difficult for her disciples.
"Since my aunt is unwilling to tell me the reason, I won't ask."
Jiang Anning considered her words carefully and said: "I believe that my aunt treats me sincerely. She came to talk to me at night and said such things to me, and she must be sincerely doing it for my own good."
"I don't want to embarrass my aunt."
Aunt Fang was about to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the first half of the words.
It would be best if An Ning girl could listen to Jin's advice.
I didn’t want Jiang Anning to change the subject: “But I also hope that my aunt can respect my decision.”
"I still have things I want to do that I haven't finished yet."
"When I finish my work, without my aunt persuading me, I will move out of here immediately and never come back."
Although, this place holds most of her childhood memories and beauty.
It is also the only home where she can miss her grandma and her father...
But this was also the source of all her pain.
Even if Aunt Fang doesn't persuade her, she will be ready to leave when the big revenge is avenged.
What's more, she still has to go to the capital.
We need to find out the truth behind the murder of grandma and daddy!
This time, the return date is uncertain... She is not even sure whether there is a return date.
Who knows whether those eyes and enemies hiding in the dark will wait for an opportunity to kill people again?
However, in this case, there is no need to inform Aunt Fang about such a plan.
