Chapter 203 Constraints
Those clear eyes were immediately filled with mist. Those who didn't know would think that she had bullied her. Xia Yingnuan gave in after staring at the young lady for no more than three seconds.
"That, that was left here by someone else. Okay, don't mention this matter." Xia Yingnuan let go of her hand only after seeing Ning Hanqi nod obediently.
When the old boatman said this, some people were happy and some were worried. Sending passengers across the river at night is different from sending passengers across the river during the day. Every trip at night represents a risk, but the time on the return journey can be completely controlled by oneself. As long as you delay a little longer, you can let others send passengers more trips and you can send passengers less.
There are gains and losses, so the players will get less paper money, and they spent a lot of it last night...
"...That's right! We can buy it!" One of the players' eyes suddenly lit up after seeing Ning Hanqi. Ning Hanqi did not hide the fact that she bought a quilt from a vendor yesterday from other players. Since she can buy a quilt, then maybe she can buy paper money?
My companions also thought it made sense, so they decided to ask the vendor when he came.
When Ning Hanqi was about to buy today's offerings, she heard a quarrel coming from the other side in the distance. When she listened carefully, she realized that it was an issue about the price of paper money.
I remember that you could buy a bag full of paper money for 10 yuan outside. How expensive could it be in ancient times? But the vendors here are different. They sell it by the sheet, and the price of one sheet is comparable to a pound of pork.
"Are you robbing money?!" someone shouted out the thoughts of other players.
"Hmph, it's up to you whether you want to buy it or not. If you have the guts, go buy it somewhere else." The vendor took advantage of the players' weakness of being unable to leave this place and unscrupulously asked for an exorbitant price.
Ning Hanqi walked to the vendor's donkey cart, looked at today's meat, and asked the price.
While the vendor was arguing with someone else, he took the time to explain the price to her with a smile, then turned around and continued arguing.
"Give me a pork leg, and one-third of the minced beef here." The pork leg was this morning's sacrifice, and the minced beef was a backup sacrifice.
"Okay, I'll weigh it for you right away." The vendor's expression changed immediately.
Ning Hanqi didn't plan to exchange copper coins for paper money, so she didn't join the bargaining. She completed the sacrificial ceremony first, and then soon met the first group of guests of the day.
The group of more than a dozen people were all strong and sturdy men. Although they were wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying shoulder poles, they looked like they were going to do business across the street, but the fierce light that occasionally flashed in their eyes was quite creepy.
Their cargo consisted of several large sacks, which were bulging with something unknown, and blood was constantly seeping from the bottom of the sacks.
Ning Hanqi glanced at their hands and the sacks, then silently took a step back.
"She is the girl I asked you to find before..." Shan Yun muttered something in her sister's ear. Shan Yun's originally serious expression softened when she looked at Ning Hanqi.
"Then I'll be leaving first. You guys can chat." Shan Jun gave his sister a few more instructions, asking her to have a good rest these few days and not run around, and then left the ward.
"There shouldn't be any accidents, right?" Shan Yun was a little worried. This kind of thing was too mysterious, and she was afraid that it would implicate her sister.
"What if there's an accident?"
Shan Yun suddenly heard Ning Hanqi, who had been quiet until now, suddenly speak. She mechanically turned her head to look at the person next to her.
"ah?"
Ning Hanqi patted Shan Yun's head, which was a little dull and injured, just like Shan Yun did. "Sister Shan, do you believe me or that liar who came from nowhere?"
After Shan Yun left the ward, her expression was no longer as gentle as it was in front of her sister. On the surface, she seemed to have some respect for the so-called Master Zhang, but in fact, scrutiny and questioning never disappeared from her eyes.
Players cannot use offensive props in real life, and he is not favored by ghosts like the Sea Hare Prophet, so he is not much stronger than ordinary people. Standing in front of Shan Jun, he is actually under great pressure. He dare not say a wrong word for fear of arousing the other party's suspicion.
"Mr. Zhang, how much salary does Mr. Mo offer you for working for him?"
Upon hearing this, the player surnamed Zhang felt a pang in his heart, fearing that he would be exposed.
"The reward Mr. Mo gave was something rather special, with a price but no demand for it. Money was just a bonus... But when he heard that your sister was in trouble, he asked me to come over without saying a word." The player did not forget his other task and spoke well of that person whenever he had the chance.
"Really? Looks like I can't give this check out." Shan Yun's lips curled up into an icy arc as she stuffed the check she had just taken out back into her bag. The player's eyes widened for a moment. How many zeros had he just seen on it?!
...He, he felt a little regretful. This Mr. Dan was much more generous than the one he was following now!
However, he had already taken the other person's money and the magical tools that the other person had collected in real life, so he could only bear the pain and pretend that he had not seen the check.
By the way, according to Mr. Mo’s plan, maybe I can earn some extra money later.
Just as the two were leaving the hospital with their own thoughts, Shan Yun suddenly heard the voice of her silly sister shouting behind her.
"Sister, sister!"
Shan Jun turned around and thought some husky was rushing out in an electric wheelchair. The little girl was running behind her, panting and pale. She slapped her sister on the injured head and said angrily, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"
"I, I..." Shan Yun glanced at Ning Hanqi, who had finally caught up, and then said as they had agreed before, "I suddenly thought of a few suspicious places in the company, and I want to take Master Zhang to check them out..."
So it was because of this. Shan Yun's expression lightened up a bit. "For something like this, can't you just call and tell us? Why bother coming here in person?"
"Some places are hard to find and I can't explain them clearly over the phone. My leg is broken, but other parts of my body are fine. I can still go and show the way in a wheelchair. Sister, please let me go. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease if I miss any place!" Shan Yun used the coquettish and naughty skills she had practiced since childhood to annoy her sister, who had to agree.
"Then should I have someone send this little sister home?" Shan Jun glanced at Ning Hanqi who had come running over because her sister was misbehaving. The little girl looked sick at first glance, and it must have been difficult for her to jog all the way here.
"No need to bother! She... comes with me. Isn't there a nice restaurant next to our company? I'll take her there for dinner after I finish dealing with the company's affairs!" Shan Yun tried hard to control her expression. She didn't lie. After she finished dealing with the company's affairs, she would definitely treat Ning Hanqi to dinner.
Shan Yun felt like she had already put all her acting skills to good use, but who was standing in front of her? This was the older sister who had changed her diapers in kindergarten. How could she possibly deceive Shan Yun with her poor acting skills?
What are these two doing?
Shan Yun was still thinking about it, but when Zhang Xu heard that Shan Yun had noticed something strange, his expression suddenly changed. He didn't know that this was an excuse made up by Shan Yun. He just thought that this person had a strong inspiration. If she really discovered those things, his arrangement might fail!
No, he had to know how much Shan Yun had sensed!
So Zhang Xu also joined Shan Yun's team, and things went more smoothly.
Ning Hanqi had been paying attention to the player's actions. The other party's expression changed like a play, and it was impossible not to pay attention. However...did Shan Yun's sister also notice something unusual?
Xia Yingnuan glanced at Ning Hanqi, stroked her still rosy face and said, "Look, my son-in-law is so scared that his face has turned pale."
The behemoth's fat body trembled at her words, "Then, then...what do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, father, don't worry. This has nothing to do with you. I just want mother to give her bracelet to my son-in-law to calm him down. Remember to make sure it's clean."
Mr. Xia, the Meat Mountain, thought for a moment, then muttered, "Okay, I'll have her hand it over right away."
"Xia Shan!" Madam Xia screamed, her body gradually expanding, turning into a monster similar to Master Xia. "You useless wimp! How dare you!"
"What should I not be afraid of? The thing I regret most is marrying such a vicious woman like you!" Mr. Xia really had resentment towards his wife. If she had not interfered in his marriage with her sister, killed his original wife, and raised his children to be so spoiled, how could he have ended up like this!
New and old grudges came to the fore as the two monsters collided with each other, tearing each other's bodies with their sharp claws. Soon the whole yard was almost destroyed in their fight.
Xia Yingnuan pulled Ning Hanqi to stand a little further away to prevent bricks and pieces of meat from flying towards them.
It's a dog-eat-dog farce. She has watched it for so many years that it no longer feels as fresh as it did at the beginning.
"Nuannuan, don't look if you're unhappy." Ning Hanqi raised his hands to cover her eyes.
Xia Yingnuan was slightly startled before she couldn't help but laugh, "Is my performance that obvious?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm a little tired of seeing it all these years." At the beginning, when she saw the couple fighting each other to the death, she could still find a sense of pleasure in revenge, but now... it's nothing but annoyance. Maybe looking at them less can make her feel better.
"Then don't see them anymore." Ning Hanqi looked at the two monsters tearing and biting each other, a cold look in his eyes.
Xia Yingnuan, who still didn't realize the hidden meaning behind Ning Hanqi's words, just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell them to stay away from me from now on."
After an unknown amount of time, the two monsters finally decided the winner.
Master Xia was even better. Xia Yingnuan was not surprised by this outcome because she knew that this man was a cold and vicious person when he was alive. Those dirty things seemed to be done by Madam Xia, but he was the one who pushed all this to happen behind the scenes. No matter from which aspect, Madam Xia was no match for him.
Every step the Meat Mountain took caused the earth to tremble slightly. He seemed to be smiling as he handed the black silver lotus bracelet in his hand to Xia Yingnuan, but the flesh on his face made it difficult to see his expression.
"Dad got it for you, look..."
"Thank you, father. I'll trouble you to comfort mother." Xia Yingnuan took the bracelet and wiped it over and over again. Only after making sure there was no dirt did she put it in Ning Hanqi's hands.
"It's my duty, it's my duty..." Seeing that Xia Yingnuan no longer paid attention to him, Mr. Xia took the opportunity to disappear quickly to prevent this unfilial daughter from setting her next target on him.
The game prompt appeared in front of Ning Hanqi's eyes.
