Chapter 1095 The Returnee's Notes 169

Xiao Xiao smiled, her complexion was much better than before, and the gloom on her body had also dissipated considerably.

She came to Xie Ning to repay the money. Now that she had received compensation, she naturally had to pay back the money she had borrowed before. In addition to repaying the money, she also brought a bag of snacks.

After all, discussing interest rates would be too hurtful; sending some food and drinks as a token of gratitude is just right.

"How is your mother?" Xie Ning led Xiao Xiao to the small garden downstairs. During their conversation, she learned that Xiao Xiao's mother had suffered a stroke and was being treated in the hospital.

"The recovery is going very well. He can sit up now, but his mouth is still a little crooked. He will be able to go home after a while when he has recovered enough."

After all, there are two children at home, and Xiao's mother can take care of them after she recovers from her illness.

Xiao Xiao never considered giving up her studies to work and take care of her younger siblings. Family is important, but her own future is equally important. She wants to take the postgraduate entrance exam and then the civil service exam.

She will climb up step by step.

She doesn't want to be a withered old tree; she provides her nutrients to new branches and will grow into a towering tree, not minding the climbing of her vines.

Xie Ning took out a red string she had braided and gave it to Xiao Xiao, saying, "I wish you a smooth journey, Senior Xiao. It's not very well braided, but I hope you won't mind."

"No, I like it very much." Xiao Xiao patted Xie Ning on the shoulder.

"Xiao Ning, if you ever encounter any problems in the future, just come to me." This was a promise; she would never forget those who helped her during her lowest point.

Xie Ning met Xiao Xiao's eyes. Her brown eyes looked exceptionally clear in the sunlight. Xiao Xiao had matured... a maturity she had no choice but to accept.

“I remember.”

On a clear autumn day, when the wind and frost are falling, the osmanthus trees are laden with blossoms, and the delicate osmanthus flowers and stamens are scattered beneath the leaves, their fragrance spreading for miles.

While things were settled here, Ouyang Lin's matter was far from over. After all, it involved the demonic path, which was not so easy to resolve. An ordinary person would have swallowed their anger, but Ouyang Lin was no pushover.

It's only natural to seek revenge, especially since they were the ones who attacked the other party in the first place.

If they hadn't encountered it, so be it; but if they had, they certainly couldn't let it go easily. So, after returning and breaking the curse, Ouyang Lin directly contacted the authorities to launch an attack.

For those colleagues who are honest and take money to do things, the authorities usually turn a blind eye. However, if they use this to do illegal or criminal things, then it cannot be tolerated.

Not to mention that the old ghost that person sold also helped his employer commit murder and was involved in organ trafficking.

So while Xie Ning was texting Ouyang Lin to ask how things were going, she was still looking for someone; that old man, on the other hand, got away quickly!

I glanced at the photos Ouyang Lin sent me; they were covered in dense wood carvings, which she said were the dwelling places of the old ghost the old man kept.

Unfortunately, they destroyed the other party's base, but the person escaped.

That old man had no idea that Ouyang Lin had connections with the authorities. If he had known he had run into a brick wall, he would have run faster, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so much stuff.

Xie Ning zoomed in on the photo and carefully compared the patterns carved on the wood carving. They were quite similar to those on the old ghost's face. Perhaps they were connected by this rune.

She certainly didn't know exactly how this thing was made, so she simply packed it up and sent it to the old lady for advice, and also asked how the appliances she sent back were.

With today's advanced technology, using those old things isn't as convenient anymore.

Xie Ning is not short of money now. She buys whatever is useful and nice to wear and sends it back to the old lady, which makes her no longer want to talk to Xie Ning.

She'd been living like this for so long, and now she had to read the manuals and learn how to use all the appliances. The sudden change was a little unsettling.

Of course, it is still much more convenient.

Xie Ning also bought an air conditioner. Although the old lady didn't feel that it was cold in winter, it was a token of her appreciation. She complained about it, but she was actually quite pleased with it.

Because someone still cares about him, especially his young apprentice.

When Wang Laodao came to see the old lady again, he was a little unaccustomed to it. The outside of the house was still the same as before, but the inside had changed drastically. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You've finally decided to make changes. How is the air conditioner that Xiao Ning bought?"

My old one broke, so I'll buy a few more and install them; otherwise, the kids will be freezing in the winter.

"How would I know? It's neither hot nor cold today, why would I turn on the air conditioner?"

Despite being rebuffed, Old Master Wang didn't mind and simply asked the old lady when she would be leaving.

"Tomorrow instead." Today is not a good day.

"How is that person?" The old lady was asking Qiu Dafu.

"Xiao Ze said he died in prison, and all that's left is a withered skin." Do they really think Guibei Mountain is so easy to get to?

However, their trip was also to Guibei Mountain. Because of Qiu Dafu's matter, the old lady guessed that the formation there might be damaged and needed to be repaired.
