Chapter 248 Picking up someone

Because there was something wrong with the company's business, her opponent was willing to destroy her even at a cost of eight hundred dollars. Jiang Xian was so busy these days that staying up late was the norm.

Seeing that the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window that was half covered by gauze curtains was turning white, she was so tired that she put on a shirt as a quilt and leaned on the sofa to take a nap.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Jiang Xian heard some noise around him.

Jiang Xian was a little impatient and was about to scold whoever entered her office without her permission.

But within a second or two, she realized something was wrong here...

The woodshed is small and dark, the air is damp and the smell is somewhat unpleasant.

Kidnapping?

This was Jiang Xian's first reaction.

Before she could figure out the result, the rough palm of the woman in front of her fell over. She instinctively held it and her eyes flashed.

Mrs. Cao was in disbelief: "How dare you fight back?! Our family has raised you to this age, and this is how you repay us?!"

"In what way is Zhang Yuanwai unworthy of you? Although he is older, he is a master of civil affairs and his family is well off. You are lucky to be able to take a fancy to you!"

"I don't want to look at you like that, don't be ungrateful!"

Jiang Xian slowly spit out two words: "Noisy."

Mrs. Cao's eyes widened: "You're scolding me?! You are indeed a child of a mother and not a mother. You have no education at all. Why didn't your parents take you away with you?!"

Jiang Xian rubbed his ears.

The woman in the sarong, speaking incomprehensibly... The scene in front of her was too strange, and she frowned even though she was calm.

She originally thought it was a business competitor who was causing trouble, but that didn't seem to be the case. What was even weirder was that a completely unfamiliar memory vaguely appeared in her mind.

Although it was incoherent, it was indeed a scene she had never experienced before.

This matter was completely beyond Jiang Xian's cognition, and she encountered a problem that she couldn't solve for the first time in her adult life.

Seeing Jiang Xian standing up holding on to the wall, Mrs. Cao looked at her warily: "What are you doing?!"

"I'll tell you something - you should accept this marriage, and you should accept it if you don't! Before Zhang Yuanwai comes to ask for my hand in marriage, just stay here for me!"

Mrs. Cao said that she was going to pull Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian glanced at her coldly, his eyes were deep, and there seemed to be whirlpools in his pupils, as if he was about to lure people away with just one glance.

Ms. Cao was stunned for a moment, then she patted her head, shook her head and sat down on the ground.

After half a cup of tea, Jiang Xian asked a few questions when he saw Mrs. Cao was motionless.

Seeing that Ms. Cao was slow to answer, Jiang Xian patted the shabby clothes on his body and walked out, locking the woodshed door at the same time.

Looking from the outside in, this is a self-built house with only one floor. Half of it is made of mud and half of it is made of green bricks. The yellow mud floor is full of chicken droppings and dirt. Jiang Xian has never seen a more shabby place than this.

Already.

The extra memories in his mind were too unclear, like being covered with a layer of translucent paper. Jiang Xian needed more information.

Jiang Xian walked in Zhuji Village for a while and realized that the house she had just stayed in was already ready. At least it was large and sheltered from the rain. She met a few people on the way, but no one stopped to say hello to her.

Until we came to a river, there were several women washing clothes.

Seeing Jiang Xian, Aunt Mei shouted: "Sister Xian?"

Jiang Xian thought for a moment, then walked over and half-crouched next to Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei gossiped: "Did your uncle and aunt bully you again?"

Seeing that Jiang Xian didn't respond, she didn't seem surprised. She talked a lot while washing clothes, and finally concluded: "... A child without a father and a mother is really pitiful."

Combining the memories in his mind with Aunt Mei's words, Jiang Xian roughly understood his current identity.

An eleven-year-old poor country orphan girl, who had lost her parents since she was a child, had to live in the care of others, her uncles and aunts did not love her, and she had neither enough food nor clothing to keep her warm.

And this seems to be a parallel time and space. She is currently living in a dynasty that has never appeared in history, called the Great Xiao.

But the most important thing remains an unsolved mystery.

——Why did she change here and become another person?

So what about the original her?

What is the way to go back?

Is the passage of time consistent in parallel spaces?

With these issues to be resolved, Jiang Xian wanted to resolve the identity issue first.

Jiang Xian did not discuss with the Jiang family, but directly went to Li Zheng and said that he wanted to separate the family.

Li Zheng was of course at a loss. Since ancient times, how could there be any reason for a woman to ask for a family separation?

Otherwise, when Jiang Xian's parents died, they would not have given everything to his younger brother and sister-in-law, asking them to help raise their daughter.

After all, a woman has no right to inherit property. Parents who treat their daughter well can at most buy a generous dowry for her so that she can live a more confident life in her husband's family.

Li was looking at Jiang Xian with clear eyes in front of him, thinking in his heart.

In the past, this sister of the Jiang family didn't dare to look at people and didn't like to talk. She seemed to have lost some of her senses and was always absent-minded.

Something seems different today.

After listening to Jiang Xian's explanation, Li Zheng first went to Jiang's house to inquire about the matter.

Ms. Cao, who knew about this, naturally didn't do it. She was just kidding. She had already received a deposit of fifteen taels from Zhang Yuanwai's family. How could she let the cooked duck meat fly away?!

But no matter how fiercely they objected, unless Jiang Xian returned to his own world before the separation, the result could not be changed.

After a lot of hard work and more than half a month, Li Zheng helped set up a female household and was given a thatched house at the end of the village that the Jiang family had long abandoned and a pitiful amount of food.

Finally having a place to live, Jiang Xian moved to the end of the village.

Although it is said to be at the end of the village, it is actually at the foot of the mountain. There are no other houses or people around, and it is already silent before it gets dark.

On the first night after moving to the thatched house, Jiang Xian, who had no candles or kerosene lamp, was about to go to bed early, but he heard a noise coming from the mountain, like a very large animal passing through the grass, and then falling heavily.

She held her breath, and after there was no movement outside for a long time, she picked up the knife she had received from Jiang's restaurant and prepared to take a look.

The moonlight without light pollution was very bright, but it was night after all, and the direction of the path could only be vaguely discerned. Suddenly she stepped on a small stone, which made a clicking sound, and Jiang Xian silently retracted her foot.

After confirming that there was still no movement from all directions, she continued to walk in the direction where the sound had just come from.

After her eyes fell under a tree not far away, she paused.

There was someone lying on the ground there, it seemed to be a man, wearing a black robe, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Such a person lying around her house might cause some danger, so Jiang Xian wanted to get him somewhere else.

When she got closer, she realized that the man seemed to be seriously injured, which was only because of the dark color of his clothes.

Moreover, she has an extremely good-looking appearance. The whitening of her lips due to excessive blood loss does not diminish her complexion, but instead makes her look frail and beautiful.

I don’t know who I offended and ended up in this situation.
