Chapter 174
Wuning's family
Yang Zheng was stunned. The last time she was young and innocent, she hadn't thought about other people's families. Of course, she didn't think about it this time either. But since she wanted Wu Ning to study in the imperial capital, she couldn't help but ask a few questions: Is there anything wrong with your family? Do you need someone to talk to?
What Wu Ning answered at that time seemed to be... no need.
Wu Ning felt a little embarrassed and sad at the time, so she didn't say anything else.
Finally, Yang Zheng shook his head and slowly said, "I just know her family isn't very well off."
"She was born into a reconstituted family...or rather, lived in one," Wang Lianru explained, handing her a document. "Her parents argued frequently since she was young. Neighbors recall that her father was abusive. When she was three and a half, her mother left the family, and by the time she was six, they had divorced. Her father soon remarried. According to her father, it was because her stepmother was pregnant, forcing him to remarry immediately. Related documents also confirm that his new wife was indeed pregnant at the time. Her stepmother treated her very poorly after they reunited. Both of them say she was doing household chores from the age of seven, and she raised her younger brother almost single-handedly. She once ran away when she was twelve. She heard her mother was in the borderlands, so she went looking for her. After much effort and many dangers, she finally found her mother. She must have gone there hoping to live with her mother. But her mother rejected her, and she left in despair. Soon after, her mother died."
Yang Zheng was originally reading a very comprehensive document. Although the document she saw had been condensed, it was obvious that Wang Lianru and others had screened it very carefully, and all the necessary times and events were outlined.
But when he heard this, Yang Zheng raised his head.
"She had thymic cancer before she passed away. We can't be sure now whether her mother rejected her because she was ill or just didn't want to care for her. There's no way to verify that. Her mother didn't have a good life in the frontier. She wanted to make money, but was cheated at first. Later, she met a good boss and earned a decent salary for two years, but then she was diagnosed with the disease."
"Her mother asked someone to lend her a set of clothes when she was ten, but she never received it. Her father said he hadn't seen it either. What we've found so far is that the clothes were most likely lost at the transfer point."
If scholars were to study the frontier, no matter how far it was from the Central Plains, there were planes available. If they truly needed to investigate, especially with public resources, they would surely have found it. But here, unless someone special could use a military aircraft, the average person wouldn't have to rely solely on trains or cars to travel such distances; they'd most likely have to use tractors or even donkey and ox carts. And in the frontier, water was a precious commodity. Many people might not even bathe once a year, especially the drivers, almost all of whom were covered in dust and dirt.
With this background, and after all these years, it really takes some luck to find out how the clothes that Wu Ning's mother had given Wu Ning were lost.
"Perhaps because it wasn't delivered, or perhaps because she didn't receive any response, her mother never sent her anything again and rarely talked about her with others. So we don't know what her mother's feelings were towards her."
Yang Zheng nodded.
"But this is a heavy blow to Wuning. We currently speculate that Master Li's discovery of the stone statue on the border is closely related to this."
Yang Zheng opened his mouth and thought of something from the Scholar Spacetime: "She hates her mother."
"Perhaps, we don't know. To be fair, there are people in the world who are worse off than her, but those people didn't... many of them even became outstanding talents, so you see..." Wang Lianru spread his hands, "Even after all this talk and all this research, we still know nothing about heresy."
She didn't say anything at the time. How could she figure out something that so many scholars couldn't figure out? However, because of the scholars' memories of time and space, she still asked, "What if her family was harmonious and her parents and family loved her very much, would this not have happened?"
"I don't know." Although she said this, Wang Lianru actually hesitated for a moment. But after saying this, she said again, "I really don't know."
Yang Zheng always felt that what Wang Lianru wanted to say at the time might be a possibility, a maybe, but she couldn't draw any uncertain conclusions on this matter, so she said she didn't know. And now...
"Yes, Wu Ning, I really like you and I'm glad to be your friend!" She said again with certainty. Her expression was serious and her tone was extremely certain. She really thought so - if it weren't for the heresy, if it weren't for such a change, Wu Ning... would really be a very good friend.
She was able to come all the way from Biandong just to watch her compete. Knowing that she was a Grandmaster and had no shortage of money, she still carefully prepared meals and calculated the expenses every day!
"Is that so..." Wu Ning tilted her head. At that moment, she even felt playful. "Then kill him!"
When she said this, she acted like a little girl acting coquettishly, as if asking for a cup of milk tea or an ice cream, but her words came out in a cold and chilling tone.
"He is no longer the person you like. It shouldn't be difficult to kill him." She smiled, with a tone of, I did a good job. Yang Zheng looked at Li Yinuo, then at Wu Ning, who was grinning.
Li Yinuo took a breath and stood up straight, with one hand hanging naturally in front of him and the other hand folded behind his back. Just when he was about to mobilize his space to make another sound, Wu Ning snorted, and immediately, he flew backwards like Wei Yijian just now.
"Mr. Li!" Yang Zheng gritted his teeth and without hesitation, he pushed hard with his feet and swung out with his right fist.
Her strength was very strong, and she felt that this punch contained at least 90% of her strength, if not all of it. However, when she threw it, she felt something was wrong, it was too soft and too slow.
Sure enough, when she threw the punch, Wu Ning had already taken a step to the side leisurely, and Yang Zheng's fist just brushed her ear. Then, Wu Ning waved her hand lightly, and Yang Zheng also flew backwards.
There was nothing behind her, but her body was like being hit against a wall. The powerful impact made her throat feel sweet and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Is this why you like me the most?" Wu Ning smiled. Yang Zheng said nothing, just lowered his head and looked at the blood. Has she spit out blood before? She seemed to have spit out blood before, but that seemed to be the last time. This time...
"Silly boy, deviation value." Wei Yijian over there had been beaten to the point of almost returning to his original form... Well, it's a bit weird to say this, but as everyone knows, Wei Yijian had a dark face before, and although the young man was energetic, he could not be called handsome. When he first came out here, he had red lips, white teeth, bright eyes and white teeth. He could be said to be a handsome young man. But at this moment, his face was dark again and his lips were thick again. Although he had not completely changed back, everyone knew who he was.
"Don't act recklessly!" Wei Yijian said again, and while saying this, he jumped to the side again. He knew just now that he couldn't let Ding Shengzhen beat Yang Zheng, but he was not quite sure why. After being beaten a few times, he became more sober. Although there were still many things he didn't understand, he knew that this was the result of his being influenced. The most important thing now was to get rid of this influence.
"Use your brain!" he said again, and then jumped again.
At this time, he was not jumping as a master. To be honest, he was more like an ordinary person with agile skills. However, although he used his greatest ability, he was still a little short of it. This time, he was swept by Ding Sheng's palm wind and then spit out blood.
This time, his face seemed a little darker.
Ding Sheng looked at him with a smile on his face, but there was malice in his eyes. He seemed to glance towards Wu Ning, but it was not obvious.
Wu Ning slowly walked in front of Yang Zheng——
Crash! Just as she was walking, the third piece of white mist fell from outside.
When abnormalities occurred at No. 15 Middle School, Bian Dong carried out large-scale isolation, and almost the entire southern area was cleared out. It was only under such circumstances that such a thing could be done, and it was because of this isolation that not much harm was caused earlier.
Although the monitoring personnel had encountered problems with the emergence of this space, some with high mental strength or those above the innate level were able to evacuate, while many more remained here. According to statistics, it was a tragic loss, but in the face of such a situation, it could be said to be a blessing.
But as the white mist fell, the impact grew larger and larger, first affecting adjacent areas, and then areas across the border. Some people started smashing things for no reason, some sang and danced, and some desperately waved green flags, but at this point, they were already doomed to fail.
"We are all going to die, we are all going to die!" Yang Zheng's second aunt lay on the ground and kept screaming, then suddenly bit the sofa.
"Go to hell, die!" Yang Mang was also shouting. He felt that it was not nice to say that to his second aunt, but at this moment he could not control himself. Moreover, he also felt that what he said was not wrong. This second aunt deserved to die!
Wu Ning came to Yang Zheng and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to grab Yang Zheng, but the next moment, Yang Zheng disappeared in front of her.
Li Yinuo!
At that moment, Li Yinuo took the lead and pulled Yang Zheng back. Wu Ning's eyes immediately changed.
