Chapter 32 When he heard that she was someone else's woman...
Pei Dong investigated the acrobatic troupe led by the old man in one day. Their troupe consisted of many children aged eight, nine, and ten. Their home base was Pingxi Village. Whenever they went out to perform and made a lot of money, they would return to Pingxi Village.
"Although Pingxi Village is not far from Jiangcheng, I haven't been back for many years." Zhan Hengyi looked into the distance, holding a cigarette between his fingers. His arms slightly tensed, and blue veins appeared on his arms.
The Zhan family's earliest home in Jiangcheng was in Pingxi Village. Later, several people died in that house, and my grandmother thought it was unlucky. My father's business also steadily increased, so the family moved to their current mansion.
The house was sold to someone else, and after leaving, Zhan Hengyi never went back.
"Me too," Pei Dong said, "but I heard from my brothers that there were thousands of families living in Pingxi Village, but now only a few are left there.
The village, which used to be bustling, is now eerie and gloomy."
Pei Dong's voice was always gloomy, just like him, depressed and seldom talkative. He had a buzz cut, skin darker than wheat, and a handsome, thin face that was even more "keep away from people" than Zhan Hengyi's.
At this moment, Zhan Hengyi suddenly saw a faint yellow light floating on the river in the distance. "It's so late, and there are still small fishing boats?"
Pei Dong followed Zhan Hengyi's gaze and said, "It's unlikely to be a small fishing boat. Let's go over and take a look. Is it a ship carrying people?"
"Um."
-
On the other side, Nan Chengcheng and his crew were on the ship.
Under the threat of the long knife, Su Manman, Hao Xiao, and Qi Mo all threw their valuables at the feet of the robber standing at the bow of the ship.
Qi Mo pretended to cry, "Brother, I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and many wives, concubines, and children below me. If I die, it will be miserable for my widow and orphans. We have given you all our things, so please let us go! Please, please! Wuuwuwu-"
"Shut up!" The robber put his long knife against Mo's head.
Mo pursed his lips immediately.
Another robber took a rope and started tying them up.
Nan Chengcheng remained motionless, her eyes looking at the robber standing at the bow with endless tenderness.
The robber blushed and pulled up the brim of his hat, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and throw the valuables on you over here, or I'll do it myself and use a knife first!
hurry up! "
"Brother, why are you so fierce?" Nan Chengcheng said aggrievedly, blinking her eyes. Her misty eyes made people feel distressed. She stood up and walked to the robber standing at the bow of the boat.
The robber's long knife was against her neck, "If you move again, I will kill you!" He looked at the woman in front of him, and when he saw her from close up, he realized that she was truly one-of-a-kind beauty.
She has a butterfly hairstyle and slightly curly long hair, which adds gentleness and sweetness to her beauty. The black cheongsam with an orange-pink base makes her look noble and playful, and the loose cheongsam can also vaguely show her exquisite figure.
The wind blew on the river and the boat swayed slightly. Nan Chengcheng pretended to be unstable and seemed to subconsciously grab the robber's sleeve.
The robber grabbed her arm with his backhand. The beauty was helpless and the man's attack seemed uncontrollable.
"Thank you, brother." The more the robber blushed, the more she stared at him, "Brother, I am a Chinese Singaporean who came back to worship our ancestors. Our family immigrated to Singapore a long time ago, and I am the only one left after we got married.
I came back from wandering around alone. Along the way, I, a weak woman, was bullied everywhere.
My ancestral grave is in Pingxi Village. I met these two people... at the door of the hotel. I gave them money and they said they would escort me there, but I don't think they are locals.
I really want to find a man to protect me. Today I saw you, my brother, and I suddenly thought, can I ask you to protect me?
Always and always...
I am willing to follow you around the world."
Nan Chengcheng acted shy, embarrassed, and insincere, and any man would be fooled by her.
Qi Mo and Nan Shaoqing on the side looked at each other and immediately realized that Nan Chengcheng was acting and her acting skills were excellent.
Mo immediately said, "Hey, hey, hey, little girl, you are so mean!"
Nan Chengcheng glanced at him coldly, "What's the point of being thick or thin? I'm just a weak woman." She continued to look at the robber, "Brother, you said you've been wandering around for a long time. What's the reason for becoming a robber now? It's to make a living, right?
