Chapter 137 You Hurt Me

It is sealed tightly on all sides and there is not a single window.

That's fine.

Maybe it's a room where junk is stored.

But I could vaguely hear the sound of talking.

Xie Jiaojiao slowly approached the strange house.

The door was not locked, but simply had a wooden stick about the thickness of a thumb stuck on it.

The door was not closed tightly, but it was very dark inside the room and I couldn't see anything.

Xie Jiaojiao did not open the door rashly, but put her face almost against the door, concentrating and listening carefully to the movement inside.

Quiet, very quiet.

It was as if the voice just now was an illusion.

Xie Jiaojiao muttered, "No one is here."

Just about to turn around and leave.

There was a bang, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Xie Jiaojiao slowly approached the open door and stared inside.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes popped out.

When their eyes met, a chill quickly climbed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

"ghost!"

Xie Jiaojiao squatted on the ground, grabbing the ground with her hands and feet, and kept backing away.

"Chuckle, chuckle."

A silly laugh came from inside the house, and a face with disheveled hair and unclear features was stuck in the five-centimeter-wide gap of the door.

It's a human.

Xie Jiaojiao's panic gradually calmed down.

She patted her chest with her hands, gasped for breath, and her face showed relief at having survived the disaster.

She was really scared to death just now.

Xie Jiaojiao was no longer afraid, but the people inside were unhappy.

She lifted her messy hair and made a face at Xie Jiaojiao.

Beneath the messy long hair was a face that was 90% similar to Jiang Zhu's.

In an instant, a name that she had forgotten popped up in Xie Jiaojiao's mind.

Jiangmei.

Xie Jiaojiao heard Jiang Ye say that his sister was crazy, didn't like to see people, and always stayed in the house by herself.

But hearing is far inferior to seeing.

Xie Jiaojiao's eyes were complicated, mixed with a hint of heartache.

Jiang Mei's five fingers were clasping at the door, making a creaking sound, as if she was trying to break it open and rush out.

At this time, Jiang Wang, who heard the scream, ran out of Jiang Dadao's house.

As soon as he appeared, Jiang Mei immediately retracted her head.

"Daughter-in-law, are you okay?"

Jiang Wang just reached out his hand to help Xie Jiaojiao, and Xie Jiaojiao stood up by herself.

Seeing Xie Jiaojiao staring straight at the door, Jiang Wang thought she was scared.

Using the traditional rural method of calling souls.

"Soul, come back! Soul, come back! The demons and monsters will leave!"

Xie Jiaojiao blinked.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Daughter-in-law, aren't you scared? I'll call your soul back."

Xie Jiaojiao laughed, "Dad, I wasn't scared."

"It's good that I wasn't scared." Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, just call me Jiaojiao from now on. That's what everyone in my family calls me."

"Okay, Jiaojiao."

Xie Jiaojiao asked again: "Dad, is that Ah Mei inside?"

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, and said with a sad tone, "It's her."

"Wild boy, I told you, Amei was fine before, but she went out and came back covered in blood. After she recovered from her injuries, she is now like this."

"Has she always been so hostile towards people?"

Jiang Wang shook his head, "No."

“My family still has some impression of Ah Mei. She was a little crazy but gentle.

Even towards strangers, she was like a wild animal out of control, always wanting to pounce on them and scratch them.

That’s why we had no choice but to lock her up in the house.”

"You don't even let him out at home? You just keep him locked up like this?" Xie Jiaojiao was shocked.

"Lock her up. If she's released, she'll run away and beat anyone she catches." Jiang Wang sighed, his face full of worry.

This is his daughter. If there is even the slightest possibility, how could he bear to see her like this?

"Then, Amei, how did you become what you are now?"

"I don't know. Wild Boy never mentioned it."

"We asked, but he wouldn't tell us."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Jiang Wang changed the subject, "Jiaojiao, you just woke up, are you ready to go back?"

"Yeah." Xie Jiaojiao explained, "I wanted to tell my dad before I left, but I couldn't find him. Then I heard some noise over here, so I came over to check it out."

"I'm in your grandfather's room, telling him stories. Your grandfather has loved this kind of story since he broke his leg."

Jiang Wang pointed to the house not far away, "That's it. You can come find me there later. I'm probably there."

"I know, Dad."

"Aren't you going back to the educated youth camp? Dad will give you a ride."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded in agreement, but before leaving, she took a deep look at the room that had returned to silence.

After returning to the educated youth center, Xie Jiaojiao tossed and turned in bed, thinking about Jiang Mei.

The horn sounded for the end of work, but she seemed unaware.

Jiang Ye knocked on the door with dinner in his hand, and Xie Jiaojiao opened the door woodenly.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Ye noticed that something was wrong with Xie Jiaojiao.

"What's wrong? You look listless?" He placed his hand on Xie Jiaojiao's forehead. "It's not hot, you don't have a fever."

Xie Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Aye, what happened to Amei?"

The veins on Jiang Ye's forehead twitched, and the gentle aura around him suddenly became violent.

"Jiaojiao, did you see her today?"

No wonder, after he finished packing the food from the kitchen, his father called him and said he had something to look for, but at that time he was in a hurry to deliver the food to Jiaojiao, so he didn't stop.

Now that I think about it, this is what Dad was going to say.

"Um."

Jiang Ye rubbed Xie Jiaojiao's head and asked, "Are you scared?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded and shook her head, "At first, yes, but later I felt sorry for her."

Jiang Ye paused, his throat feeling a little dry.

Jiaojiao, she is not afraid, nor does she despise her, she feels sorry for Amei.

Jiang Ye suddenly hugged Xie Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you are so nice."

Meeting you is probably the luckiest thing that has happened to me in this miserable life.

"You hurt me." Xie Jiaojiao complained.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Ye let go of Xie Jiaojiao, looking like a wolfdog that had made a mistake. He was at a loss and just stared at his master blankly.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on? The right medicine is the right treatment. Ah Mei's illness can't be delayed any longer. We have to find a way to cure it."

She is so young, how can she be locked up in a small room for her whole life?

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, "Jiaojiao, eat first."

"Hurry up and tell me. We'll have dinner later."

"Let's talk after dinner." Jiang Ye insisted.

Xie Jiaojiao was angry and turned her face away from Jiang Ye.

"Jiaojiao, this is a complicated matter and will take a long time to explain. You'll only have the energy to listen after you finish your meal."

When Xie Jiaojiao heard this, she agreed.

"Then feed me."

"good."

Because she was preoccupied with something, Xie Jiaojiao ate very quickly and finished her meal in just five minutes.

"Can you tell me now?"

Jiang Ye wiped Xie Jiaojiao's mouth with a handkerchief and said, "No hurry."

"Why not? It's very urgent." Xie Jiaojiao puffed her face and disagreed.

"Change the medicine first."

"Your injury is more urgent and more important."

The inflated balloon was punctured with a hole and deflated unconsciously.

"Then, hurry up." Xie Jiaojiao changed her words.

Xie Jiaojiao frowned and looked bitter as she finished applying the medicine.

As soon as she finished applying the medicine, she couldn't wait to urge him, "Aye, you've eaten and taken the medicine, can you tell me now?"

"Can."

"This is what happened."
