Girlfriend Jiang Ziqi, "..." Is this going to cause trouble?
The hunter frowned upon hearing Yan Qingnuo's words, but said nothing. He simply quickened his pace and, upon arriving home, pounded on the door, shouting, "Open the door! Open the door for me!"
The door opened in no time. Jiang Ziqi, who had already given up trying to break free from Yan Qingnuo's grasp, muttered, "We knocked for ages and no one answered. I thought nobody was home."
The hunter heard this and turned around. "It's my wife. She only opens the door when she hears my voice when I come back. It's for safety reasons."
Jiang Ziqi: "Oh."
The way this man is looking at her is so annoying. No wonder Yan Qingnuo wanted to assert her dominance. She just doesn't know what he's discovered that he's here to investigate. She'll just have to play along.
Jiang Ziqi didn't even get a good look at the hunter's wife's face when she was invited inside. The woman kept her back to them, and even when serving tea, she practically buried her head in the ground, looking very timid. The hunter patted her on the back with a strong slap, "Alright, you're so clumsy. You don't even know to cook when you see guests?"
The woman went downstairs, trembling.
Jiang Ziqi calmly surveyed the place. The house must have been several decades old, as it was kept very clean, indicating that the woman was hardworking and capable. However, she was still treated this way by her husband. Since they had only met by chance, she didn't know what to say.
However, the hunter always dragged Yan Qingnuo into his conversations. How could Jiang Ziqi not understand his intentions? Yan Qingnuo simply couldn't stand it. If it weren't for Aunt Yu, he would never have wanted to investigate from the beginning, so why would he have put up with him until now!
Jiang Ziqi, however, had seen many men like this since she was a child. In her early years, she had worked her way up and down in various markets and alleys for business, and had encountered all kinds of people. Dealing with this hunter named Lang Lang was a piece of cake for her.
"Uncle, do you still have charcoal here? How far did you go to buy it?"
The hunter was delighted that Jiang Ziqi had spoken to him first. "This wasn't bought; I made it myself with firewood."
Jiang Ziqi gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"
She sniffed, "It smells so good, I'll go check it out."
She got up and went straight to the kitchen.
The hunter's face immediately fell, and he looked displeased.
Yan Qingnuo clenched her fist and tried to start a conversation with a smile, "Uncle, have you seen Flame Grass here before?"
What is that?
"It's just one kind of herb, it grows like..."
The hunter listened and pondered, "I feel like I've seen this before."
"Really? Can you tell me where it is?"
The hunter thought for a moment, "How about I take you there? That place is hard to find. You could wander around the forest for days without someone to guide you and still not find it."
Yan Qingnuo's smile was so fake. "Then thank you in advance, Uncle."
kitchen.
The woman was startled when she saw Jiang Ziqi come in and instinctively turned her back.
Jiang Ziqi was thinking that the face that had just flashed by looked familiar. Where had she seen it before? ... That's right, it was Old Geng's daughter, who sold vegetables outside the city. She had seen her many times.
Jiang Ziqi was startled when she realized who she was. How could Old Geng's daughter have married into a hunter's family?
Jiang Ziqi grabbed the woman's hand and lowered her voice, "You're Old Geng's daughter, right?"
The woman stopped struggling and looked up at Jiang Ziqi with shock in her eyes. She clearly recognized Jiang Ziqi as the little girl who used to pay high prices for vegetables for her father.
I knew I hadn't made a mistake.
Why are you here?
The woman opened her mouth as if to speak, but no sound came out. Jiang Ziqi lifted her chin and pinched it, and the woman opened her mouth even wider, allowing Jiang Ziqi to see that she had no tongue!
