Chapter 396: Tomb of Shu Jie (1)

By 12 noon, in addition to the table of Lu Zhiwei and his friends, there were four more tables of guests. Although they all ordered at most three dishes, the Ruan family was still happy and felt that this was definitely a good sign.

After 12 o'clock, some individual customers came one after another, eating a bowl of noodles or something like that, and there were almost two tables of people sitting.

Ruan Jiaojiao and the other boys couldn't help much, but they could still serve tea and water. In this way, not only was the business in the store good, but it was also very orderly, without any rush or confusion. Ruan Jianmin

used to be an accountant in the village, and now he was behind the counter to settle the accounts.

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, more people came, almost filling up the entire store. Even Ruan Jianguo didn't expect such an effect, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the number of people gradually decreased, and the kitchen began to cook for the family. Ruan Lin was afraid that Ruan Jiaojiao would not be hungry, so she had let her eat first. When the Ruan family ate outside, she slept in the storage room.

There was a bed in the storage room, which was put there by Ruan Jianguo in case of emergency.

Ruan Jiaojiao also helped for a whole morning. She couldn't open her eyes when she ate, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

But -

as soon as she fell asleep, she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough.

She stood on a ridge of a field filled with mist, and heard a loud noise coming from not far away, including suona, trumpets, and howling, which made Ruan Jiaojiao's heart ache. She

followed the sound and gradually saw the scene in front of her in the mist.

It was a tomb, and the soil was still fresh, obviously a new tomb.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the tomb, and her heart seemed to be tightened. She looked around the tomb, and sure enough, she saw that the surrounding area was full of people, all members of the Ruan family.

Ruan Jianguo, Ruan Hao, and Ruan Jie were all kneeling in front of the tomb, their faces pale and bloodless.

Ruan Jianguo was completely different from what she remembered, with a stiff face, as if he had lost his soul.

Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at them and felt her heart pounding. She couldn't tell why, but she felt a chill in her heart and her hair stand on end.

She didn't want to look any further. She wanted to run, she wanted to leave, but the tombstone in front of the grave automatically jumped into her sight.

There were two words, familiar yet unfamiliar, engraved on it - Shu Jie!

No, no, no -

Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head frantically, backing away, and fell on her back on the ground without noticing. The discussions from all directions entered her ears.

"That's fate. She died at such a young age."

"That's right. I heard that her family was a high-ranking official, but she died here. Tsk tsk..."

"Yeah, I heard that her appearance changed when she died. She was electrocuted, how could she look good? I heard that she was burnt black."

"Was she electrocuted? I heard that she was strangled by an electric wire? I heard that there were marks on her neck..."

"You are all wrong. She died to save her daughter. Her daughter was electrocuted, and she went to save her, but she died. Look, that's her daughter over there. She's fine, but she died. I don't know if it's a sin."

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao raised her head and subconsciously looked around the tombstone.

Soon she was met with a pair of dark eyes... full of poison!

The owner of these eyes, with a face that couldn't be more familiar, made Ruan Jiaojiao completely collapse.
