Chapter 80 First meeting

The layout of the roads in the village was quite different. Rong Niang thought she had figured out the route and didn't pay much attention to the surrounding area. When she came back to her senses, she had already walked to a secluded place.

With the strange environment and the fact that she was alone again, Rong Niang felt a sense of uneasiness. She closed her eyebrows and observed her around carefully, groping for the way back.

"Sorry, it's okay." Rong Niang was focused on finding a way, turned around and hit someone when she was not careful. She quickly stepped back and apologized to someone. She never thought that before she could say anything, her wrist was grabbed by someone, and a lustful voice sounded from the top of her head, "Where is this the little lady from?"

"Let me go!" The restless fingers were stroking the wrists and rubbing them in circles. Rong Niang struggled hard. When she looked up, she ran into the face of a young man. At this moment, he squinted his eyes and smiled wickedly, and blew a breath on her face: "Where are you going, my little lady? Brother, I'll take you there."

"You, bastard!" Rong Niang was so angry that she burst into tears. She raised her neck and was about to shout for help. The man opposite covered her mouth and laughed even more vigorously. The man approached her neck and took a breath and said, "Young lady is so fragrant, good brother loves you."

"Stop shouting, those who can come here are all wild couples. Who is here to come here for a walk?"

Her body was crushed by the roadside. Rong Niang bit her lips tightly and struggled to pull out her hairpin. When she closed her eyes and was about to make up, she heard a scream and her weight suddenly decreased.

"Get out!" A low male voice sounded, with a faint anger. The gangster lying on the ground was full of horror. He got up and ran desperately into the distance.

Rong Niang sat up suddenly with her eyes open, and saw a tall and slender back blocking her. She hugged her body tightly and shouted carefully: "Jiang Chao?"

The man nodded, took off his coat, threw it to her with his backhand. Rong Niang didn't care about it, wiped away her tears, hugged her clothes and hid her shadow, and tried hard to restrain her trembling body and put on her coat.

"Is it OK?" Jiang Chao stood there, listening to the slight sound behind him, and tried to make a lighter voice. The person behind him did not answer. He was silent for a while and said hard: "Blame me, I was distracted for a moment and didn't pay attention to you turning in here."

The scene of a woman struggling desperately under the man flashed through her mind again, Jiang Chao breathed heavily and clenched her fists tightly.

If he had come one step later.

"You've been following me?" A gentle voice suddenly came from beside him. Jiang Chao turned his head and looked at him. Rong Niang, who was wrapped in her outer robe, was already standing next to him. Her tears were not dry on her face, and her red eyes looked at him, reminding him of the red-eyed rabbit he had seen on the hill.

"You are fine." Jiang Chao moved his eyes away from her messy bun, looked away, and did not answer the question directly. Rong Niang had calmed down at this moment. She shook her head and said to Jiang Chao, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Jiang for helping him."

"Let me go back to the inn first." Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment, quickly raised his hand and picked the dead leaves on Rong Niang's head. He thought for a while and said, "Miss An and the others have gone to Uncle An's second home. There is no one in the inn now."

Rong Niang nodded, and was about to leave this place, when Jiang Chao suddenly called out and waited. She frowned and stopped in place. Before she could speak, she saw Jiang Chao quickly leaning over and picking up something from the ground and handing it to her.

It's the hairpin that just fell on.

Rong Niang looked at Jiang Chao in surprise, and had no extra expression on the other side, but just smiled and said, "It's rare to see such a beautiful hairpin. If it was lost by a thief, it would be a pity."

The robe she draped over her body faintly smelled of bamboo and wood. Rong Niang was panicked. She picked up her hairpin and said thank you randomly. She walked forward quickly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chao behind her called her again.

"What are you doing!" Rong Niang glared back viciously, "Don't be more timid!"

This is indeed not an attitude towards the life-savior. Rong Niang silently covered her face in her heart.

"Uh, go back to the inn." Jiang Chao seemed to be startled and stood there.

"Oh!" Rong Niang's face was so red that it was dripping with bleeding. She walked out quickly over Jiang Chao. She walked in a hurry and wanted to trot. Jiang Chao looked at it for a moment inexplicable look, and saw that someone was about to go away, so she quickly caught up with her.

On this side, Rong Niang felt inexplicably frustrated, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere for the whole family.

An Xiaoxiao took two young men to Uncle An's second uncle's house to play. This made the two elders who had not come to their house for a long time very scared. One of them hugged the other and was reluctant to let go. The two dumplings said good to grandparents, which made people laugh and wanted to hold them in their palms and unwilling to let go.

"Grandpa An, why don't you have a beard?" An Shuyue nestled in Aunt An's arms, looked at Uncle An's bare chin opposite, and remembered the old village chief of Daoxiang Village, and curiously reached out his hand. An Xiaoxiao frowned and scolded, "Any polite An Shuyue."

"Go and go, what's the most fierce thing?" Uncle An glared at An Xiaoxiao, took An Shuyue with a smile, and handed her chin to her little hand and walked. He said happily: "Because grandma said that grandpa was not good-looking with a beard, so he would not leave it for grandpa."

"What nonsense?" Aunt An blushed and slapped him, and said in a low voice: "What are you talking nonsense in front of the child."

"Grandma An, what is this?" An Yuce sat upright, glanced at a wooden box on the table with four wooden strips spanning the box, with strange shapes. He looked curiously for a long time, and asked while taking advantage of the quiet space.

"This is called Luban box." Aunt An smiled and walked over and took it over, explaining: "It was Grandpa An who bought it in the town to help her get rid of it."

An Yuce carefully observed the wooden box and found that there were four wooden strips on all sides of the box. He swayed with his hands and could vaguely hear the sound of things colliding inside.

"Is there something in this box?" He pushed it with his hand, and the box did not move at all. He observed again and found that there was no mechanism to open. An Yuce became more and more curious, and his vision was completely attracted by the wooden box in his hand. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, the box was always closed.

Uncle An laughed loudly, rubbed his head with his big palm, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to untie it. Do you want grandpa to teach you?"

An Yuce shook his head and answered seriously. I wanted to try it first. I sat down and carefully observed the wooden box.

"These two children have a pretty good eyes like Dawu." Aunt An looked at them lovingly, lowered her head and met An Shuyue's big round eyes, and pinched her nose docilely.

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. An Xiaoxiao's heart thumped hard. Before she could speak, Dawu came over. He smiled silly and blushed and said, "I don't look like me, I don't look like me, I look like Xiaoxiao."

In front of outsiders, Dawu was still stupid. He tried to please him as if he had put his head close to An Xiaoxiao, blinked his big eyes and said, "Yes, Xiaoxiao."

Yes, it's a big one. Whether it looks good or not, it's like you. You are your real father. I didn't expect it, it's exciting.

An Xiaoxiao was calm and panicked. She laughed a few times, not daring to speak.

The inn lobby was divided into two. On the left is Jiang Chao's shop counter, and on the right is An Xiaoxiao medicinal materials shop. The doctor had finished picking up the Fangzi and was about to pack up and go home. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Chao and Rong Niang entering the door one after another.

"Miss Rong, are you okay?" Rong Niang was wearing an obviously not fit outer robe, and her cheeks were covered with mud. The doctor rushed out of the medicine cabinet in a panic, not daring to ask more questions, but just took out a clean veil and handed it over, stuttering: "There is hot water in the backyard."

"Thank you." Rong Niang took the handkerchief and nodded to thank her. She stood there, hesitating about how to explain. Jiang Chao spoke at the right time: "The back mountain is sparsely populated, and many hunters will set up traps there. Miss Rong should be more cautious next time."

Oh, I'm stepping into a trap.

The little doctor, who was not very careful, suddenly realized the panic in his eyes, and instantly turned into sympathy. After thinking about it, he realized something was wrong. He was just about to continue asking, but Jiang Chao silently stepped forward and blocked his sight. Rong Niang quickly walked into the backyard.

"Don't mention this to Manager An." Jiang Chao patted the doctor's shoulder and quickly pushed the person out of the inn, blocking the reason he was about to blurt out.

The young doctor had always lived in the inn, but later he found a farmhouse with a suitable rent. He moved out not long ago. He said a few times. Seeing that the pressure resistance was ineffective, he picked up the medicine box and returned to his residence in shame.

After struggling for a long time, dinner was not ready, and An Xiaoxiao and the others were about to come back. Rong Niang and Jiang Chao had no time to rest, so they immediately went into the kitchen to prepare dishes.

When they were skillful in washing and cutting vegetables, Rong Niang and Jiang Chao cooperated tacitly and just happened to prepare a table of food before they entered the inn.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

As soon as he stepped into the inn, Rong Niang took the hot dishes to the dining table in the lobby. The steaming fried meatballs were full of fragrance. An Shuyue was so hungry that she twitched her nose and threw herself at the wooden table and looked at her with a hurried look. Her little mouth kept sucking water, looking like a little hungry ghost

The little hand that was ready to move was tempted on the edge of danger, and finally reason overwhelmed the greed in her stomach. She reluctantly moved her eyes away from the plate, pulled An Yuce up and ran to the backyard, "Go and wash your hands with me!"

"Rong Niang, are you?" Seeing Rong Niang's outfit, An Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked subconsciously. Rong Niang quickly explained: "It was really inconvenient to accidentally splash water behind me in the kitchen, so I asked Manager Jiang to lend me a set of clothes to change it."

The searching sight immediately moved to himself, Jiang Chao straightened his back and nodded and agreed.

The whole family gathered together to have a meal. Looking at the table full of food, Dawu felt a little embarrassed, "We'll be back early, we can help you."

"Uncle An likes to be lively, so it's better to spend more time with them." Jiang Chao smiled and spread the two chicken legs on the plate into two small bowls. He turned his head and took out the wine behind him. Rong Niang put the wine pot on his hand to make it easier to pour it in.

"Rong Niang, how long are you here?" An Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.

"I'll leave tomorrow." Rong Niang swallowed the food and replied: "The new orders in the embroidery shop are large, and I can't leave for too long."

"Okay, then I'll pack up the things tonight and let Shuyue and the others take them back together."

The originally warm atmosphere became cold. An Shuyue and An Yuce looked at each other and slowed down the speed of picking up food. An Shuyue secretly kicked Dawu under the dining table. The man straightened his waist, pondered for a long time, and said carefully: "Anyway, the school is fine, so why not let them stay for a few more days and I will send them back when school starts."

"Spring plowing is about to start, and you will have time to send it to you later." An Xiaoxiao didn't respond, looked at Dawu, and exposed the matter lightly, "Okay, no need to say anything, I will follow Rong Niang back tomorrow."

Seeing that the plan failed, An Shuyue was depressed and poked the rice in her bowl with chopsticks. When An Xiaoxiao saw it, she frowned slightly and reminded: "Shuyue, don't get angry when you eat."

The child responded and lowered his head to make the rice. An Yuce raised his little face and suddenly said, "I forgot to take the Luban box that Grandpa An promised to give me. Before leaving, I want to go to my grandpa's house to get it back."

An Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said directly: "No, you want to go back tomorrow and buy it in the town."

An Yuce's face appeared uncomfortable, and she twisted her lower body and said quietly: "No need."

He had already cracked the mechanism before leaving, and it was not necessary to spend money to buy one.

An Xiaoxiao glanced at two small ones and said concisely: "Eat."

Haha, you still want to use Uncle An to suppress me? Your mother won’t eat this set.

Dawu looked at the two little ones who were disappointed, and what he wanted to say was in his mouth. Finally, he saw An Xiaoxiao's warning eyes, and ate silently and swallowed the words back.

"An Niang, they are children after all, so why should they be so strict?"

After dinner, Dawu took two little ones to the back mountain to play swords. An Xiaoxiao abandoned Jiang Chao and cleaned up the mess in the inn, and took Rong Niang to take a walk on the village road. Rong Niang remembered the expressions of the two little ones on the dining table and couldn't help but speak, "In fact, it's okay to stay for a few more days."

"My grandma Rong, what happened to you today?" An Xiaoxiao did not respond, but was silent for a while and suddenly asked.

"Isn't it just preparing supper in the inn? What can I do?" The steps under my feet were not stopped, and Rong Niang's tone was as normal as she was without any flaws.

"You know you can't hide it from me." An Xiaoxiao sighed slightly. She grabbed Rong Niang's wrist, stopped, looked straight into her eyes and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice it."

Rong Niang frowned. Just as she was about to stop her words, she quickly turned her mind, "Didn't Jiang Chao tell you about Anjia Village?"

"No." Rong Niang shook her head, and An Xiaoxiao sighed again. In addition to hiding the identity of her village chief An's daughter and her real intention, she told her everything that happened to her in Anjia Village. Rong Niang's face turned from white to blue, and finally she was so angry that her face turned red, and she said angrily: "It's outrageous!"

"Anjia Village does not need Daoxiang Village. I don't know what will happen here. Sending two young people away is the best way to do it now." An Xiaoxiao pinched Rong Niang's palm and smiled and said, "I can only ask you to bother to help me with them."

"Say this kind of thing again." Rong Niang angrily glanced at An Xiaoxiao, and then worried, "What will you do?"

"Me?" An Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and curled her lips, "There is no choice, just do it."

Before dawn the next day, Jiang Chao drove the ox cart and parked it at the inn gate. I don’t know what Dawu said to the two little ones last night. Although they still hugged An Xiaoxiao and refused to let go when they left, their resistance obviously subsided a lot.

An Xiaoxiao and Dawu coaxed them into the car half-hearted and half-lied them. Rong Niang greeted the two of them and helped Jiang Chao's men get on the ox cart. The few of them said something reluctantly, and drove towards the entrance of the village under the urging of the rooster.

I don't know when I see you next time.

Looking at their backs getting farther and farther away, An Xiaoxiao felt a little sad. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and suddenly reacted.

Wucao, no, when did Jiang Chao and Rong Niang get so close?!
