Next to him, a man in ordinary clothes looked at Xiang Wan with evil intentions, his eyes kept rolling on Xiang Wan's body.
In fact, she wanted to ask for directions, but her sixth sense told her that the person in front of her was not a good person.
I pretended not to hear anything and continued walking forward, and finally met an old lady I felt was reliable. The aunt was playing with her granddaughter in the yard in front of the house.
Xiang Wan felt that someone who was so patient with his granddaughter would not have any other thoughts.
"Hello, aunt."
He obviously heard Xiang Wan's voice and brought his mother-in-law, who was holding a small rubber ball, to see Xiang Wan. She looked at her carefully for a while before speaking.
"Who are you looking for, little girl?"
"Auntie, I want to ask you if you know where Zhuang He lives?"
"Zhuang He?"
The old man frowned and tried to remember, while the little grandson next to him impatiently shouted for the ball.
In order not to disturb the old man, Xiang Wan stepped over the short fence, picked up the ball on the ground, and threw it towards the child.
"Isn't that the old banker? Why are you asking this, little girl?"
At first glance, Xiang Wan didn't belong to the town, so her mother-in-law was a little cautious.
"Oh, this gentleman named Zhuang He bought something in our store, and I want to send it to him."
"Oh, that's it. Then just wait for me and I'll ask my wife to take you there. Come in and sit down first."
Her mother-in-law warmly invited Xiang Wan to sit in her room, saying that the road to Zhuang He was difficult and people outside could not find her.
It was hard to refuse, so I entered the room. It could be seen from the room that my mother-in-law's family must be very clean. Everything was kept neatly, and the little grandson also poured tea for Xiang Wan obediently.
"Thank you."
There was nothing else on her body except the candies she grabbed at breakfast in the hotel this morning, and she stuffed them all into the children.
The child was relatively thin and felt a little malnourished. After receiving the candy, his dry and yellow face showed a happy smile.
"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke!"
"Grandma, my sister gave me candy, you eat it first!"
"Okay, you eat first and leave one for grandma."
Seeing the old and the young living together so harmoniously, she couldn't help but laugh.
While the three of them were laughing and drinking tea, the half-open wooden door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a burly figure came in against the light.
Everyone in the room was stunned. The little boy was obviously frightened and shrank behind Xiang Wan.
Just when Xiang Wan was about to pick up the vase next to him, he heard a familiar voice coming from the door.
"Wang Qiang."
"Mr. Xu, this..."
The hand that was holding on to the bottle suddenly relaxed. It turned out to be Wang Qiang.
No, why are these two people here?
I saw Xu Si'an walking out of the backlight, with a slender figure, and glanced into the room. After seeing Xiang Wan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xu Si'an?"
"Is this your friend?"
The mother-in-law asked aloud.
In order not to cause misunderstanding, Xiang Wan had no choice but to nod and then glanced at Xu Si'an.
A man as big as Wang Qiang hurriedly hid at the door, leaving Xu Si'an alone, and he spoke calmly.
"I'm sorry, auntie, I came to see my friend. Didn't I scare you?"
Seeing that the visitor was kind, the child poured a glass and carefully handed it to Xu Si'an as before.
"Thanks."
The alarm was lifted, and the children happily went out to play ball again.
She was too lazy to care what Xu Si'an wanted to do, she just wanted to seize the time and ask for some useful information.
"Auntie, you, Zhuang He, have always lived in this town?"
"No, Lao Zhuang came later, but he was kind and taught everyone how to farm. We all have a good relationship with him."
It's not normal to suddenly come to this desolate town and bring technology with you.
"Then does he have any children?"
"No at first, but later his neighbor Zhang died of illness, so he adopted his daughter."
It turned out that he had no children, was skilled, had a good heart, and was a wealthy man. She was becoming more and more interested in this Zhuang He.
"Old lady, is there someone at home?"
An old man came down from the second floor. He was estimated to be seventy or eighty years old. He should be my mother-in-law's wife.
"Old man, take this little girl to the old banker's house. She doesn't know the way."
"Okay, I'll pack up and go right away."
Xiang Wan got up and prepared to go outside to wait for the old man to come out. As soon as he went out, he saw Wang Qiang standing at the door. He was so angry that he couldn't help but wonder. What on earth did Xu Si'an want to do?
Wang Qiang looked at Xiang Wan and explained quickly: "Miss Xiang, it's all my fault. I saw you hadn't come out for a long time, so I rushed in out of fear that you might be in danger. It's none of Mr. Xu's business!"
"Are you following me?"
"Ah! No...no..."
Wang Qiang saw that the explanations were getting more and more confusing, and he was a little at a loss. The relationship between the boss and Miss Xiang was already very bad, and it would be a disaster if he made things worse!
"Okay, Wang Qiang, you can go on your way."
Xu Si'an took a step forward and pushed Wang Qiang away.
"I let him in. This town is not safe, so I followed you."
It was the first time that she saw someone talking about stalking so confidently. She shook her head and didn't want to talk nonsense to him anymore.
The old man happened to come out at this time, "Let's go, the old banker's house is a bit far, but the road is still easy to walk."
Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen the guests for a long time, but the old man was in high spirits and could still chatter when he was walking in front.
"Lao Zhuang is a good man. He has taught us a lot of knowledge in the town. It's a pity that he has no children. Alas..."
"Uncle, have you seen him in these stations?"
"These past few days? Don't tell me, it doesn't seem like it has happened. Maybe there is something going on at home?"
Xiang Wan frowned, maybe something really happened.
The old man walked in front, followed by Xu Si'an, and finally Wang Qiang finished.
Xiang Wan was like a sandwich biscuit, protected in the middle.
She didn't know what Xu Si'an wanted to do by following her, but with the old man present, she couldn't drive him away, so she just let it go.
The group of people walked in twists and turns for almost twenty minutes and finally arrived near Zhuang He's house. If Xiang Wan had done it by himself, he probably wouldn't have been able to find it until dark. There were too many small alleys inside, and there were so many
There are no road signs in the old town, and the alleys all look the same.
When I came to the door, the loud voice of the old man rang out.
"Lao Zhuang! Someone is looking for you."
However, I didn't hear a response for a long time.
"Lao Zhuang?"
This time, within a few seconds, the iron door opened with a click, and the little girl revealed half of her face, looking at the people outside in confusion.
"Grandpa Wei."
Then he glanced at the others and stood behind the door with some vigilance.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, they are here to see your Uncle Zhuang."
The little girl opened the iron door and rushed back to the room.
"Don't mind. This girl is very sensitive, but she is by no means a bad boy."
As the old man explained, the whole house felt a bit old.
