Chapter 3 Taking money to completely break off the relationship
Three days later, the sun was still shining brightly, but Jiang Ruoxi's mood was as heavy as if it was shrouded by dark clouds. She walked slowly and hesitantly towards the familiar yet unfamiliar place - that was the home of the stingy and unwilling to give money Jiang Daguo and his wife.
Along the way, various possible scenarios kept flashing through Jiang Ruoxi's mind: How would Jiang Daguo and his wife make excuses? Will he speak ill of me or even drive me away? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, but the urgent need for the money in her heart still drove her to move forward.
Finally, Jiang Ruoxi arrived at the doorstep of Jiang Daguo and his wife. She took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked gently on the door. However, there was no response from inside the door for a long time, which made Jiang Ruoxi more and more nervous. Just as she was hesitating whether to knock again, the door suddenly creaked open, revealing Jiang Daguo's gloomy face.
"Here, 2,000 yuan. From today on, you are no longer my, Jiang Daguo's, daughter. No matter how well or badly you live, don't come to me again. I want to see who can look up to you, a woman without the support of her mother's family, hum!" Jiang Daguo took out the money and handed it to Jiang Ruoxi with a painful look.
"Thank you, but you don't need to worry about whether I will live a good life in the future. You should just take care of yourself. I don't even know if I was stolen or trafficked by you?" Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed in Jiang Daguo's eyes.
Jiang Ruoxi saw the panic flashing across Jiang Daguo's eyes, and she had some ideas in her mind, "Jiang Daguo, didn't I have anything on me when I came to your house? If I did, give it to me quickly, or I'll smash your house and search it."
"No, when you came here, you had a small square wooden sign hanging around your neck. It's been so many years, I have to go and see if it's still there?" Jiang Daguo said after recalling the incident.
"Go find it quickly. I'll wait for you."
Jiang Daguo turned and went into the house, rummaging through the drawers and cabinets for a long time before coming out with the agarwood plaque in his hand. Jiang Ruoxi snatched it away, examined it carefully, and confirmed that it was the wooden plaque that Jiang Daguo and she had described. She felt relieved. This might be the evidence for her to find her biological parents in the future. She wanted to ask her biological parents in person why they gave birth to her instead of wanting her. Jiang Ruoxi put the money and the wooden plaque away, turned around and left, not wanting to stay with Jiang Daguo and his wife for even another second.
After leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Ruoxi returned to her own residence. She looked at the wooden sign again and saw that one side of the sign was carved with an exquisite phoenix, and the other side was carved with a ruyi. In the inconspicuous place in the lower right corner of the sign, the word "Ruoxi" was engraved. Judging from the font, it was obviously engraved later. Jiang Ruoxi put the wooden sign under her nose and smelled a fragrance. She thought that the wooden sign might have other secrets. She rubbed the sign unconsciously with her hand and suddenly felt something prick her finger. A drop of blood dripped onto the sign. In an instant, the sign glowed with a soft light. The scene in front of her eyes changed, and she found that there were some strange symbols flashing in the space.
Jiang Ruoxi approached the symbols curiously, and when she reached out to touch one of them, suddenly a stream of information flooded into her mind. It turns out that it is about an ancient physical training tradition. Practicing this set of physical training techniques can make muscles and bones stronger, improve physical fitness, and enhance physical strength, speed, endurance, agility and flexibility.
Jiang Ruoxi touched other symbols, including medical skills, disguise, alchemy, ancient martial arts, etc. There is also a thatched house in the space, and next to the house is a stream, in which swims a kind of fish with silver bodies shining all over.
The thatched hut looked small and shabby from the outside, but when Jiang Ruoxi entered the hut, she saw a completely different scene inside. There was a large alchemy room, a practice room, a bedroom and a kitchen in the hut. It could be said that it was small but had everything. Jiang Ruoxi came out of the hut and saw that there was a garden in the open space in front of the hut. The soil in the garden was black and nothing was planted on it. Jiang Ruoxi thought about bringing some vegetable seeds to plant next time so that she would not be short of vegetables to eat in the future.
After looking at the house and the vegetable garden, Jiang Ruoxi looked up into the distance again, only to see that it was shrouded in thick white fog and could not be seen clearly. Since she could not see clearly, Jiang Ruoxi gave up and wondered how to get out. Just when she thought of the word "go out", Jiang Ruoxi returned to the house. Jiang Ruoxi blinked her big eyes and tried twice in a row before she was sure that as long as she thought about going in, she would enter the space, and as long as she thought about going out, she would come out.
After all the hassle, Jiang Ruoxi felt hungry, so she picked up her bag and walked towards the state-owned restaurant.
