Terrified, she simply packed up the things in her house that could still be used to pay for the money and stumbled away. When she came to her senses, she was already destitute, not only had she become a beggar, but she was also surrounded by a group of thugs with bad intentions in the alley.
When she was rescued, she thought that God had finally thought of her and helped her out of her predicament once again. But she never expected that face to appear among these handsome young men. Oh, what a ridiculous fate. What had she done wrong? Why was she born to suffer more misfortune than others?
When Xu Zhaodi woke up again, she found herself on a soft mattress, covered by a quilt that exuded a faint fragrance. She opened her eyes and felt as if she were back in that villa again: "Where is this..."
Tang Chen saw the person on the bed opened her eyes, and without even putting down the towel in his hand, he quickly walked over: "Girl, you're awake, how do you feel?"
"You, that's you, you murderer, return my grandma's life!"
Xu Zhaodi's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't know where she got the strength from, and she pushed the person in front of her to the ground.
"Don't get excited, calm down, calm down! Ah!"
Tang Chen thought that her sudden appearance had scared the other person, and just as she took a step back to help her calm down, she was pushed to the ground. If she hadn't taken that step back, her pain would not be as simple as a sore butt.
Li Xinzhai, who was waiting outside because the cloth edge had been left inside, had just asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food that Tang Chen liked when he heard someone coming out of the guest room. He rushed back and found Tang Chen collapsed on the ground. The woman who had fainted was holding a stool and looked like she wanted to hit Tang Chen.
Li Xinzhai smashed the stool in Xu Zhaodi's hand with one palm, then carefully helped Tang Chen up. "We were kind enough to save you, but you actually wanted to attack me. I told you you're not a good person. Tell me, who sent you here?"
Xu Zhaodi went crazy, picking up things and smashing them on the ground. When the shopkeeper and the waiter heard the noise and came up to see the two women and one man, they immediately imagined a huge drama. Thinking it was a family affair, they couldn't get involved, so they could only hide outside, happily memorizing the value of the items the woman smashed.
"Huh, save me? If it weren't for this woman, how could I be in this state today, and how could my grandma be missing!"
She said many similar things, but Li Xinzhai didn't hear a word. He only cared about whether Tang Chen was okay now: "Ah Chen, how are you? Are you okay? Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, don't hold it in!"
Tang Chen rubbed his butt and waved, "No, I'm fine. So, young lady, I really don't know you. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Before Xu Zhaodi could say anything, Li Xinzhai's hidden blade was already ready to fire: "I don't care if she recognized the wrong person or not. This person has no good intentions when approaching us!"
Seeing Li Xinzhai like this, Tang Chen suddenly felt like crying. If Wang Yanzhou was here at this moment, would he also do the same: "Oh my god, I was the one who was pushed, how can you be more excited than me? Stay calm, she may have just woken up and her consciousness is a little confused."
Xu Zhaodi roared, "I don't want your fake kindness!"
Li Xinzhai glanced at Xu Zhaodi coldly. The fierce "shrew" in the previous second became mute in the next second: "Listen, when did you become so innocent?"
Tang Chen argued, "This isn't called Bai Lianhua. This is just a matter of fact. I really don't know her. What if the person she's talking about is someone who looks like me?"
Li Xinzhai said, "Are all these women so abnormal? They can't use logic or observe details. When this woman fainted earlier, he saw her eyes clearly. This woman definitely knew Tang Chen, and she hated her to the core."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'm going out to buy some things. When he comes back, let him take a good look at it for you."
Xu Zhaodi, who was standing aside, was furious when she saw that there was someone who cared about her so much beside Tang Chen. All of this should have belonged to her. She was Tang Chen. She was: "You, you actually ignored me! Aren't you afraid of me..."
Before Xu Zhaodi could finish, Li Xinzhai knocked her down with a single blow. Tang Chen looked at the woman who had fainted on the ground again and sighed helplessly: "Do you know why you've been single for over twenty years? Do you know how to flirt with girls? Do you know how to flirt with girls?"
Li Xinzhai snorted softly and said, "That's not what I want to do. Otherwise, I tell you, if I just stand on the street, I'll attract the attention of countless beautiful girls."
Tang Chen sneered: "It's not even dark yet, why are you dreaming?"
"...You're a topic terminator."
When Chen Xin came back from outside, Xu Zhaodi was still lying quietly on the bed, just like before he left: "Is the little girl still awake? I bought you some shoes, come and try them on. I estimate that this size should be about right, but..."
Tang Chen took the shoes from Chen Xin's hand and took a look. Well, the size is indeed enough, but these are men's shoes. "... Uh, barely acceptable. Anyway, I don't go out much anymore. When I'm out and about, I just do whatever's convenient."
Chen Xin said apologetically, "Just wear what you have for now. When we get to Qinghe, we can buy a new set of clothes."
After Tang Chen changed his shoes, he looked at his big feet and bulging belly, and his longing for Wang Yanzhou became stronger. "How long do we have to walk?"
Chen Xin didn't specify the time, but simply said, "Don't rush. The roads aren't very peaceful right now. There seem to be bandit activities at night and before dawn, so there's no rush to travel now."
"Alas, the country is in turmoil. Has the filth beneath the prosperous surface also been swept up?" After saying that, Tang Chen turned the topic to Qingliang Valley: "How is Qingliang Valley doing?"
When Shen Xin went out to buy things, although he was severely ripped off by the store owners, he also got some valuable information:
"Although there have been wins and losses in the battle with South Vietnam, it's still under control. I inquired when I went out on the street just now, and half of the army that originally besieged Qingliang Valley has withdrawn from Qingliang Valley. It seems that they want to contain Yanzhou and then attack the capital directly."
At this moment, Tang Chen couldn't help at all, she just hoped she wouldn't be a drag. She just wanted to get to Qinghe County as soon as possible and have someone tell Wang Yanzhou that she was safe and not to worry. "By the way, I suddenly thought of someone. If you have a chance, can you help me find out about her?"
"you say."
