24 Death Star
"I'm sick."
"Are you Miss Tian?" Before Tian Nongxi could respond, the visitor said, "Your grandfather died last night."
This information was so shocking that Tian Nongxi was stunned. His eyes widened unconsciously and his tone rose. "Huh?"
The man couldn't hide the pity and sadness in his eyes. He sighed and said, "It happened so suddenly. Where's your grandma?"
Tian Nongxi was silent for a moment, took out the key from his arms, opened the door, and called out "Grandma" twice.
The only response was the sound of the wind created by the flapping of chickens' wings.
She went to the main house again and saw that the door was closed and no one was inside.
Tian Nongxi passed by the kitchen and poured a cup of tea for the visitor. After placing it on the table, she said, "Wait a moment, I'll go look for her." As she took a step forward, she said to Lin Luan beside her, "You sit here. I know where grandma is."
Lin Luan nodded imperceptibly.
The man nodded, sat on the stone bench, and couldn't stop sighing. He didn't even care about the cold person standing next to him.
Tian Nongxi went out, thought for a moment, and turned to go to Qi's house.
Qi Hengan was standing in the yard, holding a scaled fish in his hand, and said blankly: "Second Mother, you, you are back so early." After that, he threw the fish into the basin and wiped his hands a few times on the dark gray old clothes he had just changed into.
Tian Nongxi's eyes swept across the dark spots on Qi Hengan's clothes, then fell on Qi Hengan's face and asked, "Is my grandma at your house?"
"Yes." Qi Hengan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he forced himself to answer, "In the kitchen, my mother is chatting with her."
He wanted to say that he didn't ask Grandma Tian to work, they were just chatting, but Tian Nongxi had already walked away.
To be honest, Tian Nongxi didn't have very deep feelings for Tian Niu, or even no feelings at all, but his anxiety at the moment was genuine.
After walking quickly to the kitchen, Tian Nongxi hurriedly said hello to Qi Mi and then looked at Huang and said, "Grandma, someone is coming home. I need you to come over."
Huang uttered an "Ah" and asked in confusion, "Who is it at this hour?"
"Zhuang family."
Tian Nongxi stopped talking here. Huang Shi noticed that her expression was not right, so she didn't ask any more questions. She put down the things in her hand, said something to Qi Mi, and walked out.
As soon as she left the kitchen, she grabbed Tian Nongxi, who was walking in front of her, and asked, "What did you say? Is it your grandfather who wants to go home?"
Tian Nongxi smiled and greeted Qi Hengan who was looking over. He turned his head to look at Huang beside him and said, "Wait for him to talk to you."
It's not a good idea for her to relay this matter. She might even be blamed for her bad luck.
When the two returned to the Tian family, the man from the Zhuang family hurriedly stood up and said before they got close: "Our young lady and her husband have already taken Mr. Tian back."
Huang looked the visitor up and down and asked, "What's wrong?"
The farmhand glanced at Tian Nongxi standing aside, gritted his teeth and repeated, "Last night, last night, Master Tian got up to go to the bathroom and fell. He has died..."
Huang didn't catch her breath, her body swayed, and she fell straight down!
Tian Nongxi was close by, and he quickly grabbed her body, and together with Lin Luan, he helped the unconscious old woman onto the bed.
The man sent by the banker bowed and said, "I will go and get the doctor."
The news came suddenly. It must have been Grandma Tian's excitement that caused her qi to become disordered and she fainted. However, the refusal seemed too cold after all. Tian Nongxi looked at the man, swallowed her words, and said, "Okay."
As soon as he walked the person out of the courtyard, Qi Hengan, who was standing at the door, jumped out, looked at Tian Nongxi with concern, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Grandma fainted."
"How could this be..." Qi Hengan murmured, turning around and saying, "Don't worry, my mother knows a little about medicine."
Looking at Qi Hengan's back, Tian Nongxi simply said to the man, "You go back first."
The man didn't refuse and hurriedly got on his horse and left.
As soon as his figure on horseback disappeared, Qi Mi and Qi Hengan came out.
Tian Nongxi took the two of them to Grandma Tian's room, and they waited quietly for Qi Mi to take her pulse.
"You're too frightened. Just rest." Qi Mi withdrew his hand, sighed, and looked at Tian Nongxi with a look of confusion and heartache, "How could it be..."
Tian Nongxi lowered his eyes and didn't lie, "The banker just sent me a message saying that grandpa passed away."
Qi Mi and Qi Hengan looked at each other, unable to hide the shock in their eyes.
After a while, a pair of hands patted Tian Nongxi's shoulders, silently comforting her.
Tian Nongxi raised his head and smiled at Qi Mibao.
Tian Erniang might feel sad, but Tian Nongxi would not.
Not to mention that this is just a character in the book, even if we talk about Tian Niu's actions alone, Tian Nongxi couldn't help but sneer.
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. He died after falling down. He didn't suffer any punishment. It was more like he got something for nothing.
Tian Nongxi sent the Qi mother and son away, returned to his room, and put away the hairpin that he was going to give to Madam Qi. Now was really not a good time.
After thinking for a while, she took out her purse from the depths of the cabinet. Together with what she had earned today, there were a total of fifty-one taels, seven hundred and eighty-nine coins.
"Cai Cai?" Tian Nongxi asked tentatively.
No response.
She didn't give up and asked again: "How much did I earn?"
The mechanical female voice responded immediately, "Host, you have currently earned a total of fifty-three taels, five hundred and seventy-one coins. You are still one hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, four hundred and twenty-nine coins away from your goal."
…………
For a moment, the only thing in Tian Nongxi's mind was the mechanical, repetitive number nine, which was like a tight hoop that made it hard for her to breathe.
The second half of the sentence is possible, but not necessary.
Tian Nongxi couldn't help but sneer. He touched his head and found that he didn't have a fever.
She doesn't have a fever?
How could she think she could earn 20 million gold from the land when she didn't have a fever? What's the difference in difficulty between that and leading an army to rebel and changing the surname of the Yan Dynasty to Tian?
"Do I have to earn 20 million taels of gold by selling vegetables within two years? Can the 20 million taels of gold in this world be exchanged for Zimbabwean dollars?" Tian Nongxi raised his head buried in his clothes with a resentful look in his eyes.
"Yes, host. Yes, host. No, host."
"Haha, then I'd rather die." Tian Nongxi closed the cabinet and complained.
The system was stuck for a while, and all that remained in Tian Nongxi's mind was the crackling sound of electricity. Just as she was getting discouraged and about to get up and leave, the system spoke.
"Alarm, suicidal tendencies detected in the host..."
"Alarm, suicidal tendencies detected in the host..."
"Alarm, suicidal tendencies detected in the host..."
"Agent system Z071854 requests system A001 to intervene. Agent system Z071854 requests system A001 to intervene..."
A001
Such a high-level name usually refers to the final boss in various literary and artistic works that Tian Nongxi has read.
It can’t be - Cai Cai, right?
Tian Nongxi looked at the air suspiciously, but before he could ask, there was a knock on the door.
"Grandma is awake." Lin Luan's clear voice appeared after two "dong dong" sounds.
"Coming." Tian Nongxi responded, no longer paying attention to the system, pushed open the door and walked out.
Inside the room, Huang seemed to have just woken up, her cloudy eyes staring at the ceiling, showing no concern for the visitor.
Tian Nongxi leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Grandma?"
Huang blinked twice slowly. Just as Tian Nongxi was frowning and wanted to bother Qi Mi to take another look, she finally spoke, "Where's A-Zu?"
Huang's voice was rough and hoarse, and she spoke with great difficulty, "Bring Grandpa... home. Grandpa is also here, at the village house."
"..." Tian Nongxi hadn't expected her husband to die. Grandma Tian's first reaction was to worry about her grandson. She choked up for a moment, helped Huang up and leaned her against the headboard, put a straw pillow under her waist, and then said, "I'll be back soon."
No matter whether Tian Yaozu's surname is Zhuang or Tian, he will always come back.
Tian Nongxi was unsure, but didn't want to waste time talking, so he made up an excuse to fool people.
After saying that, he picked up the warm water he had just poured and scooped it out for Huang to drink, mouthful by mouthful, with a spoon.
About an hour later, two horse-drawn carriages arrived at Tianjia Village. The one in front was larger and blocked half of the road, while the one behind was a bit mediocre. It was not only small but also open-top, following the one in front not too far away.
At this time, most of the villagers in Tianjia Village were busy working in the fields, and the road was deserted. Two carriages were driving slowly on the deserted country road and finally stopped at the entrance of the alley.
A man and a woman in gorgeous clothes got off the carriage in front. They were Tian Nong Le and Zhuang Xueling.
Tian Nong Le got off the carriage and reached out to help Zhuang Xueling, but was pushed away without a word.
He didn't notice anything, his eyes were fixed on the straw mat carried by the servants behind him.
Inside was his father.
The man, who had never seemed very skinny in his lifetime, looked empty and hollow when wrapped in the straw mat, with not even a part of his body exposed.
Everyone followed Tian Nong Le into the Tian family.
There were a lot of people, but it wasn't lively at all.
The master didn't speak, and the servants didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
Therefore, it was not until the coffin entered the yard and was lowered that the loud bang disturbed the people in the house.
As soon as Tian Nongxi walked out of the main house, he was hit by a barrage of scolding like a rainstorm.
"It's you! It was you who went to my house a few days ago. Tell me! What did you do?" Tian Nongle suddenly rushed forward, staring at Tian Nongxi, raising one hand as if to slap her.
Seeing that the slap was about to fall, the people around came forward to stop him, but Tian Nong Le was in poor health and slapped him quite fast, so no one was able to stop him in time.
Tian Nongxi was helpless. He raised one arm to block Tian Nongle's incoming slap, and with the other hand, he grabbed Tian Nongle's wrist and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"
She had recovered during this period and had regained half of her former charm, so her expression was relaxed when she strangled Tian Nong Le. In comparison, Tian Nong Le's eyes were furious, making him look like he had just crawled out of the ground.
Tian Nongle was furious, breathing heavily through his nostrils, "You, you unlucky star! Not only did you kill your father and brother, you also want to kill your grandfather!"
"You're sick." Tian Nongxi shook his hand away and sneered, "It's not enough that you killed your brother and nephew, you also killed your father."
After she finished speaking, she remembered that her behavior was not in line with her "character setting", and she hurriedly said "unlucky star" and prepared to leave.
"Father was in good health, how could he pass away after falling down?" Tian Nongle was furious. For a moment, he didn't even question his niece's sudden change of temperament. He just grabbed her sleeve and refused to let her go. He turned to look at Zhuang Xueling with a helpless and panicked expression, "I have to interrogate the servants who served him."
Zhuang Xueling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying that someone in the Zhuang family wants to harm him?"
Tian Nong Le's eyebrows trembled heavily. He was dissatisfied with Zhuang Xueling for embarrassing him in front of everyone, but he was helpless. He didn't even dare to hum. He just turned his head away and stopped looking at everyone.
When I turned my head, I saw a person walking out of the main house.
Tian Nong Le knew that this was the person who lived in the Tian family and ate for free under the identity of Jing Wenshu.
They had seen that he also looked like he was staying out of the matter when he was at the bank.
Borrowing Jing Wenshu's identity, Tian Nongle was an old acquaintance of Jing Wenshu, so he was happy to do him a favor. At this moment, he pretended not to see it and was about to turn his head to look the other way when he ordered the servants to carry the coffin into the main house.
But for some reason, the hand holding my niece was inexplicably knocked down.
Tian Nongle looked at the people around him who were unaware of anything, then looked at the empty ground, and finally, he quickly glanced at the man at the door.
She looked at her man leisurely.
His palms were sweating slightly, and an idea quietly emerged.
【Author’s words】
Tian Nong Le: My father is gone, but it’s okay. I will still act like a demon if I need to.
