Especially when she heard the other party push open the door of the next room, she clenched her fists nervously.
"Brother, this house is so dilapidated, is there anyone here?"
"Could you please stop talking nonsense..."
The intermittent sound was still coming. Ning Tang's eyes quickly swept around and finally fell on a few pieces of broken wood.
“Clang… clang clang!”
The sudden sound startled the two people who had just entered the room.
"Who? Who's there?" The man immediately shouted, and flashed two flashlights. A figure suddenly flashed past outside the yard.
"who!"
A man yelled loudly and then rushed out.
Although the other one was a beat slower, he followed immediately.
The rain keeps falling.
The two men chased to the river behind the house, but found nothing.
One of them finally couldn't help but say, "Brother Liu, could it be a ghost? I heard that everyone in this family died out, and they died tragically. It can't be a ghost, right?"
"Don't, don't talk nonsense!" Although Brother Liu said this, he felt a little nervous in his heart.
Finally, they looked around with a flashlight and found nothing, so they walked back cursing.
It was not until the two figures completely disappeared in the darkness that Ning Tang emerged from behind the bushes on the shore, glanced at the receding figures, and quickly returned home.
The man was still unconscious, so she dragged him out from under the bed and put him back on the bed.
Then she took out some fever-reducing medicine, and after taking care of him, she was so tired that she fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and sunlight fell into the room through the dilapidated window. The man suddenly opened his eyes and looked around with vigilance. When he found the person lying next to him, he couldn't help but sit up.
Ning Tang felt the movement, rubbed his eyes and looked up. Seeing that he was awake, he couldn't help but said happily: "You're awake! How do you feel?"
"I...why didn't you leave?" The man wanted to thank her for taking care of him, but he was also worried about her.
"I, I yesterday..." Ning Tang did not hide it and told him that someone came to see him last night.
"Are those two people here to see you?" she asked finally.
The man's brows were a little cold as he said, "Yes, thank you for last night. You should go back quickly. It's very dangerous around here."
As he said this, he lifted the tattered quilt on his body and tried to get out of bed.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ning Tang hurriedly stopped him.
"I have to get out of here."
"Are you going back?" Ning Tang asked again.
The man paused, didn't answer, and just staggered to his feet.
Ning Tang looked at him and said, "If you still want to stay, let me help you. My name is Ning Tang!"
The man was stunned and looked at her again.
Ning Tang smiled at him, "I know you are indeed a good person. If possible, let me help you?"
The man looked at her bright and smiling face and asked, "W-why?"
"Hey, actually, I'm not helping you for nothing. Those two people last night said you were from G'an? Is that true?"
The man didn't answer, but just looked at her sharply.
Ning Tang let him look at her openly, "I don't have any bad intentions. I just hope that you can do me a favor in the future and help me find someone."
"Who?"
"My uncle went to the imperial capital more than ten years ago and there has been no news since then. If possible, I would like to find him." Ning Tang said.
The man was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. "If I have a chance to go back, I'll help you look for it."
"Okay, thank you. By the way, what's your name? Can you tell me?"
"...Yes, Yin Xiaoan."
…
After driving on the highway for more than ten hours, Ning Xi finally arrived at her destination before dawn.
Looking at the city that had not yet woken up, Ning Xi felt a mixture of emotions.
She still had some memories of this place, but those memories had long been blurred, and she couldn't even tell what was the truth in her memory and what was the illusion of speculation.
"Buzz..."
The phone rang again. She brought her thoughts back to reality and saw that the number had changed to an unfamiliar one. She picked it up expressionlessly.
"Old Pier No. 1." A processed mechanical voice came out from the phone again. After saying this, the call was hung up.
Ning Xi put down his phone, took a deep breath, and immediately searched for the address of the old dock and drove directly there.
The old Pier No. 1 is what Ning Lan originally called Pier No. 1.
But now it has been abandoned and few people use it.
Ning Xi arrived near the dock and found that it was surrounded by fences, with only one iron gate open for entry.
She didn't hesitate and drove in directly.
The abandoned dock is also piled with many abandoned wooden boxes or containers.
Ning Xizhi drove the car in and didn't stop until the road ended.
Suddenly, a light lit up in the dark ahead.
It turned out that there was a fishing boat parked on the dark river.
Then, several men with unfriendly looks came out from behind the surrounding wooden boxes.
Ning Xi looked around and finally set his sights on the fishing boat.
Soon she saw a man walking out of the boat, with the light behind him, looking down at her car from above.
"She's truly worthy of being Yin Xiaoan's good daughter. She did a great job."
Although the man wore a mask to hide his true colors, his voice, which was unedited and full of joy, subtly revealed something.
"Where is Shuo Shuo?!" Ning Xi didn't care what he said, she just opened the car window and asked loudly.
"Haha, you are young after all, too impatient!" The man's joyful voice came from under the mask, with a hint of sarcasm.
Ning Xi remained silent and looked at him coldly.
"Doctor Ning, since you are here, don't you plan to come down and pick up the child yourself?" the man said again.
Ning Xi didn't move.
The man sighed softly, "It's good to be vigilant, but..."
He laughed, and his laughter gradually became more rampant. Then he suddenly pointed at Ning Xi and said, "Doctor Ning, you'd better do as I ask you now, otherwise I'm not sure what will happen to this child."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Xi heard Shuo Shuo calling, "Auntie! Auntie!"
Ning Xi's heart tightened, and she gripped the steering wheel tightly. Finally, she reached out and opened the car door.
But before going down, she paused again, then stretched out her foot and walked straight down.
As soon as she got out of the car, the men who were standing next to the box took a few steps forward and even took out their weapons without any concealment.
Ning Xi turned around, leaned against the car, and looked at them warily.
The men on the fishing boat were obviously very happy to see this scene, but they did not order them to hurt her.
It's just like a cat that catches mice and wants to play with them to its heart's content before the mice die.
