Chapter 697 River God 4

Is it really okay to just disappear in front of her like this?

The River God returned very quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour. He carried a bundle, and Ning Yan could even hear the crisp clinking sound of gold clashing together.

Let's go.

Where to?

"Go back to my home."

A few years ago, he had nothing to do and bought a house in the county town, where he has lived ever since.

"Oh, okay, okay."

Seeing that the river god had already moved on, Ning Yan casually tossed Ning Qiulan onto the bank.

...

About fifteen minutes later, Ning Qiulan slowly woke up, raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight. How could she be by the river?

No, wasn't she killed by that madman?

The memory of being crushed to powder before she died was so vivid that she trembled all over when she woke up, feeling excruciating pain in every bone. It took her a while to calm down before the fear gradually subsided.

She quickly understood her situation. She had been reborn after being crushed to death by the madman, the River God. But why was she lying by the river at this moment?

She had a headache; the memories from before were attacking her.

She finally realized what time it was: the day she saved the river god by the river.

But why was she knocked unconscious for no reason when she went out in the morning?

Why are you here now?

Unable to understand, and with her neck still hurting, she quickly got up and headed home.

Unexpectedly, the Ning family was also in turmoil at this time.

"Haven't you found her yet? They left the house almost simultaneously, how could you not find that brat? Have you checked her father's grave?"

Ning Laoda, huddled on a small stool, said defiantly, "I've looked, I've looked, there's no sign of Lao San's grave. If two grown men were really going to pay respects at Lao San's grave, how could I not see them?"

"Where could she have gone? Did she elope with that man? Oh dear, my ten taels of silver! That brat ran off with someone for nothing! I've raised her for nothing!"

“She left with a man without taking anything with her. What man would take her seriously? She’ll come back sooner or later.”

Ning Lao Er asked timidly, "Does she have anything valuable?"

One sentence silenced everyone.

She has nothing of value whatsoever.

She had only two sets of clothes, both patched upon patched. She had nothing else. Even her room had been taken by the eldest daughter of the eldest son's family, and she was living in the family's woodshed.

Grandma Ning didn't care how miserable her granddaughter was; all she knew was that her money had vanished. She slapped her thigh and started cursing, "That damned little slut! She's just like her shameless mother, utterly shameless, and actually eloped with someone!"

If she's so capable, then she should never come back...

Ning Qiulan returned at that moment. "Mother, who are you scolding? I'm in so much pain! Quickly, let me see if my neck is swollen?"

Grandma Ning's voice stopped abruptly, "What's wrong? Why does your neck still hurt?"

Speaking of this, Ning Qiulan was furious. "I was knocked unconscious as soon as I left the village this morning, and I just woke up."

Most importantly, today is the day she saved the river god. If she misses it, how will she ever get her riches and glory?

God, you've given her a second chance at life, why didn't you let her wake up sooner?

At worst, she can only save people in this life. Once the river god has rewarded her, she can stop being greedy, right?

The old lady immediately panicked upon hearing this, no longer caring about a girl she had never thought much of.

At most, they would feel a pang of regret for the ten taels of silver they had lost.

"Let me see quickly, which bastard dared to touch my daughter? If I find out, I'll scratch his face until it's covered in welts."

Ning Qiulan was very annoyed. Her mother was good in every way, and she was very kind to her, but she was too rough and always swore.

"Ouch, the back of his neck is still red. That heartless bastard, how dare he hurt my daughter! By the way, daughter, is anything missing from your body?"

The old lady helped her daughter sit down in a chair, and felt heartbroken looking at the red marks on the back of her daughter's neck.

Ning Qiulan shook her head, "Nothing is missing. The loose silver you gave me this morning is still here."

She also thought that someone was after the money on her, but she hadn't actually lost anything.

"Er Ya, go get your aunt some medicinal wine! You have no sense at all. I know I haven't scolded you enough. You're just a bunch of good-for-nothings who will be scolded every day after you marry into your husband's family!"

Er Ya, a fourteen-year-old girl, was so scolded by her grandmother that she could barely lift her head. "Grandma, there's no medicinal wine at home..."

"Can't you just go buy it? You might as well just die of stupidity!"

"Grandma, you have to give me some copper coins."

"Money, money, money, I really owe you all..."

As she cursed, Old Lady Ning pulled out twenty copper coins from her pocket. "Give me back the ones you've spent! If you dare to squander them, I'll beat you to death!"

Er Ya grabbed the copper coins and ran outside. Twenty coins were only enough to buy a small bottle of medicinal wine, not even enough for a large bottle. How could she possibly spend them recklessly?

After Er Ya left, Ning Qiulan finally remembered what she had been about to ask, "Mother, what happened at home?"

Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Ning wanted to slap her thigh and curse again, "It's all because of that shameless Sanya, who actually eloped with some random guy from who-knows-where."

Ning Qiulan was extremely surprised: "What?"

The eldest nephew, quick to speak, immediately explained to his aunt, "Around noon, Sanya brought a man back. The man was good-looking, but unfortunately, he looked like a poor wretch. He wanted to marry Sanya, and Grandma wanted ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and he also wanted a dowry."

Grandma disagreed, so he grabbed Sanya and ran off. We searched for ages but couldn't find him.

Ning Qiulan had a bad feeling; this had never happened in her previous life.

She woke up by the river, the very place where she had saved the river god in her previous life. Could the person who came to propose marriage be the river god?

No, no, the River God is a deity, how could he possibly marry a mortal?

Moreover, in his previous life, he was seriously injured, and even if someone had saved him now, he would still be unconscious. How could he come to his home to propose marriage?

After thinking it over, Ning Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been reborn, and this life would definitely not be worse than the last. Even if she couldn't save the river god, at least she wouldn't die. As for the life of wearing gold and silver in her previous life, she would make good plans for it later.

However, no matter how clever Ren Ningqiulan was, she never imagined that the river god who killed her in her previous life had also been reborn.

Her mother's insults continued in her ears, but Ning Qiulan could no longer hear them.

In her previous life, she and her parents imprisoned the river god for nearly a month. During that month, they did find something, and she carefully considered how to use those things to gain wealth and status for herself.

...

Ning Yan followed the River God and hired an oxcart in the town to reach the county. "Get off, we've arrived."

"Is this house really your home?"

River God: "Otherwise what?"

Ning Yan looked at the house again. It was a three-courtyard house with a gatekeeper who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He looked at the River God with great joy and said, "Master, you're finally back."
