“I also dreamed that Song Zhijing would throw me, my grandmother, my sister-in-law, my brother and me into the water shortly after the flood. The dream was so real, as if it had actually happened. So, when I woke up, I vowed never to repeat the same mistake.”
Xie Xiao was jolted, his heart filled with turmoil. "You—"
She even dreamed about this scene.
"Song Zhijing received my father's merits and swore to be good to me for the rest of his life, but he broke his promise. Xu Shi, that mother-in-law, is even more vicious. She tried to kill me twice. She deserves to die more than Song Zhijing."
Today I have come here to kill the Xu family, both to avenge them and to bid farewell to the past, so that I may live as a completely new person.
I felt this was a personal matter, which is why I didn't tell you.
Xie Xiao's heart skipped a beat again. "Sever ties with the past? Everything?"
He felt a little regretful, but her complete farewell to her relationship with Song Zhijing made him extremely happy.
Li Ru glanced at him and said, "Or, I could be more careful next time and tell you where I'm going?"
"That's more like it." Someone pouted arrogantly.
Li Ruo smiled and then took out disinfectant and gauze from her sleeve. "Can I clean your wound now, big brother?"
The man's expression brightened. "What else was in your dream? Did you dream about me?"
"You?" Li Ruo said while cleaning his wounds, "We were completely unrelated before, what could I possibly dream about you?"
Xie Xiao was a little disappointed. "Hiss! What kind of venom is this? It hurts a bit. Is it also imported?"
"It's not venom, it's disinfectant, for preventing infection. You've used it before."
Xie Xiao looked suspicious. "You carry these things with you, or did your accomplice—who helped you move the grain? Does he have connections to the highest levels?"
Li Ruo bandaged him up simply and said, "If you insist on saying you have accomplices, then fine, it's my father."
So, we still need to come up with a reason.
Xie Xiao's pupils dilated. "Your father! He's not dead!"
I was overjoyed.
Unfortunately, it didn't last two breaths.
Li Ruobai glanced at him and said, "I wish I could too. Fortunately, my father became a high-ranking official down there."
"ah?"
“It’s easier to get things done if you have someone down there.” Li Ruo began to talk nonsense with a straight face. “My father is a powerful assistant to the King of Hell. I offer them gold, silver, jewels, jade and other trinkets, and in return they give me these things from overseas.”
I'm sorry, General Li.
"As long as I call out to my father in my heart, he will send me those things from overseas, including the pig iron for you. It is temporarily stored in a mustard seed of Mount Sumeru. It is a very large place, but others cannot see it. Only I can see and use it."
Xie Xiao was stunned for a full ten seconds.
Then, he gave me a look that said, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"
He narrowed his eyes. "If you're going to lie, at least come up with a better excuse."
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me, that’s why I didn’t say anything, because it took me a long time to believe it myself.”
Xie Xiao stared straight at her. "So, all those treasures you asked for before were for offerings to your father?"
“Exactly,” Li Ruo said. “Why don’t you go to my storeroom and see if they’re all gone? I don’t have a cellar, and I don’t wear gold or silver jewelry, so where did they go?”
Xie Xiao looked at her head and hands, and indeed he had this question for a long time. She wasn't wearing it, and she couldn't eat it, so what was she going to do with it?
turn out to be……
Holy crap! What's wrong with this world?
"But those people down there are so corrupt. I gave them so many treasures, and they only gave me a few things in return. It's not an equal exchange at all."
"Yes, it is indeed a bit dark."
Xie Xiao's thoughts were being led astray by her, but suddenly he snapped back to reality, "You think I'm easy to fool, huh?"
"Don't believe me if you don't want to."
Xie Xiao was skeptical. "So, the things you used to build the house before, which always managed to slip past us unnoticed, were all from your father—"
"You're so smart."
Suddenly, Li Ruo's gaze sharpened. "So you sent a lot of spies around my house?"
His knuckles cracked as he gripped the weight.
Xie Xiao covered her fist faster than he could, "Isn't it because I care about you? The more you like someone, the more you pay attention to their every move."
Li Ruo decided to let him off the hook and pulled her fist back, but he grabbed it.
The man's eyes gradually deepened, and his tone became seductive: "In that case, conjure some up for me to see."
"So you still don't believe me?"
"It's out of curiosity." It's also true that they don't completely believe it.
Could such a miraculous thing really happen in the world? It's even more absurd than his dream.
Li Ruo said leisurely, "What's the rush? Let's go to Achang's place to meet up first. When we get back, we'll take a boat alone, and I'll slowly show you how to do it."
When it gets dark and windy, I promise I won't scare you to death!
After saying that, Li Ruo gave the man a sidelong glance.
Xie Xiao felt a tingling sensation in his bones.
Alone, on a single boat?
Someone's thoughts have already wandered off to other places, and their smile is gradually becoming distorted. Could it be...?
"Well, okay, I'll be waiting." He regained a bit of his seriousness.
Achang and his family and friends warmly welcomed them.
When Xie Xiao looked at Achang's father, he immediately remembered him; he had indeed saved such a person on the mountain.
Achang's father was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
There were dozens of them living in a large thatched hut, and for the time being, no one dared to bully them easily.
"Has the leader agreed to let us join Black Wind Stronghold?" Achang asked expectantly.
Xie Xiao patted the boy's shoulder. He was quite sturdy, with bright, piercing eyes. For some reason, he seemed to see a reflection of his younger self. "You really want to be a bandit?"
