107 buried pains

  Bai Shi took the medicine for two or three days and indeed no longer had a fever, and her body seemed to have recovered as well. Only An Yan knew in her heart that Bai Shi was now just pretending to be strong on the surface. At this time, she was only trying hard to use some unconventional methods to slightly adjust Bai Shi's body. However, the real root of the problem had not been solved. The issue of going to Nangong was then put on the agenda. An Yan felt a bit worried and didn't know how to bring up this matter with her aunt Wang Shi.

  That evening, after dinner, An Yan hesitated for a moment in her own room before walking out and arriving at the door of Wang's room. She hesitated again, then knocked on Wang's door.

  Before long, Wang came out and opened the door. Seeing that it was An Yan, he was very surprised, "Jin Xiu, why have you come to my place so late?"

  An Yan's eyes sparkled and she said softly: "I just couldn't sleep, so I came to find Auntie to chat."

  Upon hearing this, Wang naturally wouldn't think that An Yan truly came to chat with her. Her eyes moved around, as if she vaguely sensed something, but it wasn't clear.

  "It's cold outside with strong winds, hurry up and come in."

  As she spoke, Wang let out a path and allowed An Yan to enter the room before closing the door.

  Two people sat down at the table, An's eyebrows and eyes curved in a gentle smile, which looked especially delicate and lovely under the moonlight. Wang looked at An like this, his eyes dazed. Suddenly, a distant scene flashed back in his mind...

  At the beginning of spring, the cold was still sharp, and Bai Qi suddenly received a letter from afar.

  Bai Qi opened the letter and found it contained only a few words, but they fully expressed the bitterness of life.

  "What's wrong, old man?"

  Wang looked at Bai Qi's tightly furrowed brow and asked with concern on one side.

  Bai Qi carefully folded the letter and then turned to face Wang Shi, saying seriously: "My sister and niece were driven out of the Tang family by Tang Shan. They left with very little on them. So, I must hurry to pick them up. Old lady, I only have this one sister and one niece."

  Bai Qi's eyes drooped slightly, with sorrow and sighs surging inside, as well as deep remorse.

  "Old man, I know this sister holds a heavy position in your heart. Since she's someone you care about, I'll naturally care about her too. Old man, take Ping with you to pick up the two of them. At home, I'll get everything ready."

  Wang's face was full of peaceful expression, she had always been supportive of Bai Qi's decisions, and this time was no exception.

  This matter, although a bit troublesome in the hearts of the Bai family members, was ultimately acceptable to them as they were all close relatives by blood. As a result, everyone in the Bai household was willing to accept and get along well with their soon-to-arrive aunt and cousin.

  The next day, Bai Qi and Bai Ping set out to pick up the Whites and Tang Jinxiu. After half a month, they finally brought them back.

  Wang remembered forever, Bai and Tang Jinxiu first arrived at the White House sober.

  That day, it was drizzling in the sky. In the misty rain, a green canvas carriage stopped in front of the Bai family's gate.

  When the first to come was Bai Ping, followed by Bai Qi, and then came a pale-faced, frail-bodied man named Bai. At the first sight of Mr. Bai, Wang's eyes were filled with pity.

  It was Tang Jinxiu who came out in the end, wearing a light purple satin dress that day, with her hair combed neatly. However, the expression on her face was extremely dull, and there was an air of arrogance between her eyebrows. When she saw Tang Jinxiu, Wang Shi instinctively furrowed her brow, feeling a sense of unease in her heart, thinking that life might not be too peaceful from then on. And what happened later proved this point.

  Wang looked at Tang Jinxiu's disdainful frown as she gazed at the White family's house, then ignored Liu and Xiuniang's enthusiastic greetings, turned around and walked into the room prepared for her.

  After that, Tang Jinxiu was as arrogant as ever, and her temperament was extremely aloof. She basically wouldn't bother with the Bai family members. Even when dealing with Bai Shi, she was extremely vicious. However, Bai Shi remained gentle and loving throughout.

  During this time, Tang Jinxiu was dissatisfied with the Bai family's food and said it was unpalatable. White Qi only had one niece, after all, and was somewhat heartbroken, so he let Wang Shi improve the food a bit. However, every mealtime, Tang Jinxiu would still frown and complain about this and that. The subsequent life was naturally bumpy. It wasn't today that Tang Jinxiu pushed Xiao Pangya, but tomorrow she wouldn't be happy to pull out the eggplant in the backyard. In short, the situation continued, and White Qi's eyebrows were also increasingly furrowed. Wang Shi was also worried, thinking about how to spend her days like this. For a time, there was a feeling of wind and crane cries in the Bai family, and the atmosphere was always tense. This situation lasted for a month until one day Tang Jinxiu suddenly disappeared.

  At that time, Bai was almost frantic, and his originally weak body became even more severe. Fortunately, after two days, Tang Jinxiu returned, but it wasn't herself who walked back, rather she was carried back by a man. To be precise, she was carried back by Su San while unconscious. It turned out that Tang Jinxiu wanted to return to Qingcheng to find Ruan's young master, but she didn't bring any money with her and directly fainted from hunger on the road. Su San happened to pass by, and from a letter that fell out of her body, he knew she came from Green Bamboo Village, so he carried her back.

  This was originally a good deed, but Tang Jinxiu, an unmarried young woman, was carried back by a man. How could her chastity and reputation remain intact?

  Bai Qi and Madame Bai discussed it for a while, and finally decided to let Su San and Tang Jin Xiu get married. At that time, Tang Jin Xiu naturally resisted fiercely, but Bai Qi and Madame Bai were extremely tough this time. Firstly, Tang Jin Xiu's reputation was really ruined, and it would be difficult for her to marry again in the future. Secondly, they also hoped that Tang Jin Xiu could restrain herself, not being arrogant and willful, and not thinking about Ruan family's young master all day long. As for Su San, he indeed felt that his behavior was inappropriate, so he agreed to this marriage.

  So, Su San and Tang Jinxiu's wedding was held in this way. The wedding was very simple, with only the Bai family attending, without any outsiders. Throughout the wedding, Su San's expression remained unchanged, consistently cold and serious. Tang Jinxiu, on the other hand, was furious, glaring throughout, being forced by the two Bai brothers to complete the entire wedding ceremony. As soon as the wedding ended, Tang Jinxiu refused to share a room with Su San. Therefore, Su San temporarily stayed in the storage room, while Tang Jinxiu lived alone first. Everyone thought that it didn't matter if there was no affection now, and that living together for a long time would naturally give rise to feelings.

  After that, with Su San, the Bai family was much more relaxed. Because Su San's strength was extremely great, and he would also go hunting, often helping the Su family with work, which made him very reliable to the Bai family. As for Tang Jin Xiu, she continued to be as eccentric and willful as ever. The Bai family all tried their best to turn a blind eye, hoping that after their niece got married, she would slowly grow up and become more sensible. Unfortunately, the result of such indulgence was that Tang Jin Xiu went missing once again.

  This time, however, he was missing for seven days. During these seven days, Bai Shi was so worried that she lost her appetite and became gaunt. It was also because of this incident that Bai Shi's illness became extremely severe, and she was bedridden for almost a month. Fortunately, An Yan arrived later and helped Bai Shi recover, and only then did her body start to show signs of improvement.

  Seven days later, Tang Jinxiu was sent back by the servants of the Ruan family, covered in injuries, but only relatively painful and not too serious. Just as the White family members were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Tang Jinxiu attempted suicide again. This time, the White family really felt a chill run down their spines. They thought that this cousin was truly beyond salvation, completely hopeless. Their repeated leniency had ultimately only led to Tang Jinxiu becoming more and more overbearing. Just when they were about to give up in despair, Tang Jinxiu suddenly changed, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that she had undergone a complete transformation. The originally spoiled and arrogant young mistress had become gentle, soft-spoken, considerate, and understanding, making the White family members almost think that she was up to some new trick. However, subsequent events proved that this person had truly changed.

  It's changed, really changed.

  Wang looked at the woman in front of him with a gentle smile and still felt a sense of being in a different world.

  "What's wrong with Aunt, why is she staring at Jinxiu like this?"

  An Yan saw Wang's gaze was somewhat distracted and asked in doubt.

  Wang returned to his senses and smiled: "I just feel that time is passing very quickly, so I thought of some things from the past, and was a bit distracted."

  An Yan looked at Bai Shi's face and finally asked tentatively, "Aunt, have you ever thought of leaving Lüzhú Village and taking the Bai family to live somewhere else?"

  After finishing speaking, An Xiang carefully observed Wang Shi's expression.

  Wang heard this and was momentarily at a loss, puzzled and asked: "Leave here, why leave here?"

  Her eyebrows and eyes slightly moved, thinking that since things have been said this far, she might as well say it directly.

  "My mother's body is not very good, and she needs a lot of rare medicinal materials to recuperate. However, this place is remote, and those medicinal materials are extremely difficult to obtain, so I think going to Nangong would be better for my mother's health."

  Mr. Wang's face was suddenly filled with worry, "Your mother's body really..."

  "Yes, I have recently started to carefully nurse her back to health, but due to the limitations of medicinal materials here, the prescription can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Therefore, we want to take Mother to Nangong Prefecture."

  Wang nodded, this was indeed better for Bai's body.

  An Yan continued: "Although I haven't been to the White family for a long time, but these days of wind and rain, tears and laughter, I really regard everyone as my own family, and I really consider myself a part of the White family. So, I'm reluctant to leave Aunt, reluctant to leave Pang Ya, and reluctant to leave everyone. Therefore, I selfishly want everyone to follow me to Nanjun."

  Mr. Wang's face changed, and he sighed: "I am also extremely reluctant to part with you, but the whole family is moving to South County, this matter can be big or small, I don't know how to do it. Let them all come over, let's discuss it together, this thing I really can't make a decision on my own."

  "It's only right that moving the whole family is a big deal and should be done with caution. Aunt can stay here, I'll go inform Eldest Brother and Second Brother to come over."

  As he spoke, An Yan stood up and turned around to call Bai Ping and the others over.

  Before long, everyone gathered in Wang's room. There were An and his wife, Bai Ping and his wife, Bai An and his wife, plus Wang, a total of seven people. Bai Ping and his wife, as well as Bai An and his wife, four people, still didn't know what had happened, only that their cousin had suddenly called them over, saying there was something important to discuss. At this moment, looking at the scene before them, they were momentarily stunned, as if it were some major matter being discussed.

  "What's going on with you? Just tell me quickly, or I'll be worried."

  Bai Ping immediately spoke anxiously to An Yan, fearing something bad might happen.

  "Give me some quiet, you're too impatient."

  Scolded by Wang like that, Bai Ping immediately became honest and found a corner to stand quietly, making Wang laugh and cry.

  An Yan saw that everyone was waiting, thought for a moment and opened his mouth to say: "I and Su San plan to take Mother to Nanjun, wanting everyone to follow together."

  The words had barely fallen when the faces of everyone in the room flashed with shock. The news came too suddenly, and they were completely unprepared. They had always thought that one day, when their White family's wine industry had reached a certain scale, they would move to Hsinchu County or Nanton. They had considered these two places, but not Nanton. Nanton was too prosperous for them, and it was not a good place to settle down.

  An Yan looked at everyone's faces, her heart was a bit messy. Looking at the current situation, everyone might not agree. Thinking of this possibility, An Yan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She had already gotten used to being with so many people together, if it were just her and Su San taking their mother away, she would definitely feel empty inside.

  "I agree."

  "I agree too."

  Just when An Yan thought there was no hope, Bai An and Bai Ping nodded in unison and agreed.

  An Yan was greatly astonished, and he looked up at the two brothers in shock. Wang Shi was initially puzzled, but then her eyes suddenly turned red, she turned her head to the side and quietly wiped away tears with her sleeve.

  An's words made him even more puzzled, and he wondered if there was any other reason for this.

  In the end, it was Bai Ping who dispelled the confusion. "Before Father passed away, he had always wanted to make Zhū Yè Qīng famous and let the White family stand out with it. He hoped that one day he could fulfill Grandfather's wish and return to the White family in Nangong with his head held high."

  It turned out that there was such a thing in between, and An Yan only knew at this time that her uncle had such an obsession. This was indeed Uncle's obsession, so it became An Yan's goal. She would not only make the White family prosper, but also have the head of the Nan Guo White family come to pick up Uncle and his branch of the clan.

  "Then let's go to Nangun together."

  Wang's voice was also trembling with sobs at this time, and he must have thought of his uncle.

  Then, everyone discussed some details about going to Nangun. First of all, the autumn radish in the field will be harvested in another month. Anxin's heart was a bit unbearable at that time, thinking that he would always be rooted in this ordinary and simple village. Who would have thought that now they are leaving, those autumn radishes suddenly lost their original meaning. In the end, it was decided to rent out the land to familiar people, and the house was also reserved. Everyone thought in their hearts that maybe one day they would get tired of the prosperity of Nangun, or maybe they would come back. Or, if they couldn't make a living in Nangun, they could still have a place to return to.

  Bai Shi had always been a good talker, and everyone here agreed. On the other side, Bai Shi also nodded in agreement. So, the matter of moving to Nanguan was officially put on the agenda. The land of the Bai family was rented out by Wang Shi to someone they knew well at a very low price. And the house of the Bai family was also taken care of by someone trusted. After the Bai family settled down in Nanguan, they would write letters to keep in touch. After all the arrangements were made, the Bai family, along with An Yan and his three family members, set off for Nanguan with their entire household.

  As they walked halfway, they met many people who were close to the White family and enthusiastically offered to send them off. An Yan unexpectedly saw Ye Ming in the crowd, Fang Jiao Jiao's original fiancé. Speaking of Fang Jiao Jiao, she is now also considered a fallen woman. It is said that she was already pregnant with Wu Yong's child before they got married, which was not a big deal, after all, the Fang family had always been thick-skinned. However, who would have thought that the Wu family would fall, and Wu Yong's father, Wu Wen, would be arrested and thrown into prison? The Wu family's home was also confiscated, leaving them with nothing overnight. They came to seek refuge with the Fang family, but were directly beaten away. Although they were driven out, Fang Jiao Jiao still had a child in her belly. This child definitely couldn't stay; if it did, Fang Jiao Jiao would never be able to marry again. Although these events made it difficult for Fang Jiao Jiao to get married, she could still get married. However, having a child was an entirely different situation.

  For various reasons, Fang Jiao was taken by her family to have an abortion. As a result, it is unknown whether it was retribution or not, the abortion did not go well, and there was severe bleeding. After barely saving her life, she could no longer bear children from then on. This was simply a bolt out of the blue, and Fang Jiao would never be able to marry into a good family again. Who wants a hen that can't lay eggs?

  This news was also heard from Wang's family, and everyone just took it as a joke. After all, Fang Jiao had not been good before, and would stir up trouble, so at this time, everyone couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude.

  All the way being sent by the villagers of Lüzhucun to the city gate of Hsinchu County, everyone waved goodbye and left.

  Entering Hsinchu County, there were Zhang Jun and Yu Lei to receive them. In total, they took two horse-drawn carriages, one for men and one for women. The rest of the people didn't bring much, just bringing silver money and some clothes, the rest of the things, it's not convenient to bring on a long journey, so they will buy everything when they arrive in Nangang.

  Two horse-drawn carriages left Hsinchu County and walked leisurely on the pipeline.

  Inside the carriage, An Yan looked at a new face on the carriage with extreme surprise. This was brought by Zhang Jue, who was said to be the daughter of the leader of the Shui Sha Gang, Shui Yue Niang, and is now Zhang Jue's heartthrob.

  Shuǐ Yuè Niáng is indeed a delicate and charming beauty, with eyebrows and eyes that are extremely elegant. However, she has a lively personality, somewhat like a boy. It's said that when Shuǐ Yuè Niáng was in Hsinchu County, she often wore men's clothing and strolled around the county, helping her father manage various affairs of the Water Sand Gang. After being with men for so long, it's inevitable that her personality has become somewhat masculine. ān Yán always found it strange that Zhāng Jùn, a man like him, would actually like a woman with such a personality, which is really quite rare. She thought Zhāng Jùn would like the kind of weak and quiet woman instead.

  Shuǐ Yuè Niáng saw ān Yán constantly looking at herself and suddenly asked in confusion: "Why is Sū Niáng Zǐ always looking at me?"

  When Shui Yue said this, An Yan didn't feel embarrassed at all, but instead smiled warmly and said: "Looking at Miss Shui's delicate and lovely appearance, I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

  Even Su Shui's usual carefree demeanor couldn't hide the blush that rose to her cheeks as she heard An Yan's straightforward praise.

  "Surniangzi is really good at talking, she said so much that I felt embarrassed."

  "I didn't say anything wrong, everything I said is true."

  An Yan smiled and insisted, she thought Shui Yue Niang was actually a pretty good person to get along with.

  "I saw Su Niangzi a long time ago and I wanted to be friends with her back then."

  Suishoujo looked at Anjin and suddenly mentioned one of her own wishes.

  Anxious words, Shuǐ Yuè Niáng continued: "It was that time when you were looking for a doctor outside Rén Hé Táng, I saw how fierce you were. Not only was your medical skill excellent, but you were also extremely intelligent, and Zhao Mǎn from the Zhào family was completely at a loss for words. At the time, I thought to myself that if I could be friends with such an intelligent and elegant woman, it would certainly be a very happy thing. Unfortunately, after that incident, I never had the opportunity to see Sū Niáng Zǐ again. However, people's plans are not as good as heaven's plans, and unexpectedly, one day I was able to live with Sū Niáng Zǐ together. Do you think this is fate?"

  "It's really fate that we two have not only the fate of being sisterly friends but also the fate of being sister-in-law and brother-in-law."

  The words of Mizuki's gentle speech made her suddenly blush and lower her head, for a while she couldn't even speak.

  The others in the car watched the conversation between the two, also smiling kindly on the side, and secretly blessing Shuimoyan and Zhang Jun, hoping that they would finally become a couple.

  The horse carriage went on the road, stopping and starting, and it took seven or eight days to arrive at Qingcheng. Everyone was a bit tired from the bumpy ride, so they decided to rest for a day or two in Qingcheng to recover. Otherwise, if they continued to rush to Nanguan without stopping, even if the men could endure it, the women and children couldn't. So, after considering everything, everyone stayed at a small inn in Qingcheng.

  An Yan and Su San shared a room, while Bai Ping's family of three and Bai An's family of three each had their own rooms. The Whites were sharing with the Wangs, but the most troublesome ones were Zhang Jun and Shui Yue Niang. Originally, these two should have been separated, but there weren't enough rooms at the inn. In the end, somehow Zhang Jun managed to get Shui Yue Niang to agree to share a room with him. For a moment, it seemed like four couples had come to stay together.

  That night, due to fatigue, everyone went to bed early.

  The next day, everyone got up and had breakfast, then went out to stroll around Qingcheng. It's not easy to come once, so naturally they want to take a good stroll. Rarely having a leisurely time, An Yan also walked hand in hand with Su San on the main street, strolling slowly.

  An Yan was visibly excited all the way, and whenever she saw ancient-style things, she would go up to take a closer look and ask questions. Now standing in front of the mask stall, she picked and chose, finally selecting a Nezha mask, which she put on her face.

  "Su San, look, is it good-looking?"

  At this time, An Yan was like a child in front of Su San, and she became more and more relaxed.

  Su San looked at An Yan, who was wearing a mask with an ugly face but still had an outstanding temperament, and his eyes were filled with infinite doting, "Good-looking, as long as it's you, everything looks good."

  Her face turned crimson in an instant, like the morning glow on snow.

  "You can talk."

  She spoke in a low voice with a tone of rebuke, but couldn't help revealing a hint of amusement.

  Su San looked at the slender and elegant woman in front of him, who was smiling and scolding him, and felt extremely happy. As long as his little wife was by his side, wherever they went would be filled with blooming flowers.

  Anwen wore a mask for a while, planning to buy it back and give it to Pangya. She took it off and was about to make the purchase when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye. Her entire body stiffened instantly, and her eyes trembled. She turned her head abruptly and saw a man in his early forties standing on the street corner. The man's face was ordinary, his clothes were a bit worn out, and he blended into the crowd without drawing attention to himself. However, it was that ordinary face that made Anwen lose her composure instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes, falling uncontrollably down her cheeks like pearls that had broken free from their string.

  On one side, Su San didn't know what had happened, only that the little woman suddenly lost her composure and then burst into uncontrollable tears.

  "What's wrong, daughter?"

  She didn't say a word, her eyes fixed on that face, and with a mix of sadness and joy, she called out: "Uncle..."

  Then she instinctively grabbed the mask in her hand and ran towards where her eyes could see, tears falling from her eyes and drifting away in the wind.

  Su San took a look and was about to follow, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone. Su San's sharp eyes looked over and saw the mask vendor's honest and fearful face.

  "This gentleman, your wife grabbed my mask and ran off without paying yet."

  Su San immediately pulled out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it onto the stall, "No need for change."

  The owner of the small stall was intimidated by Su San's lavish demeanor, and instantly frightened, he loosened his grip and stared blankly at the silver ingots on the stall. These silvers were enough for their family to use for a year, was this a pie falling from the sky? The owner of the small stall, at this time, raised his head to look up at the sky with an uncertain expression, only to find that the weather was normal. Then the owner of the small stall suddenly came back to himself, hastily put the silver into his bosom, and after looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, he pretended to calm down and continued selling masks.

  Su San finished paying the silver and turned around, only to find that the street was bustling with people, but there was no sign of the little woman. He felt a sudden surge of anxiety and, without regard for being on the main street, instantly deployed his lightness skill and leapt directly to the other side of the street intersection. However, she was still nowhere to be found, and Su San's heart skipped a beat as the fear from the last time the little woman was kidnapped suddenly flooded back into his mind, causing his hands and feet to turn ice-cold. Just as he was at a loss for what to do, a low sobbing sound reached his ears, and he hastily looked in the direction of the sound, spotting a small green figure crouched in the corner of a nearby alleyway, burying her head in her knees and crying softly.

  Watching this scene, Su San's heart ached. He took three steps and made two steps to come in front of the small body, embracing the little woman into his arms.

  "What's wrong, little woman? What's wrong with you? Tell me, okay? I'm so worried."

  Su San's voice was hoarse and low, filled with unspeakable fear and panic.

  An Yan suddenly lifted her head, her face full of tears, but her eyes shone with a stunning light.

  "Su San, I just saw your uncle."

  As soon as the words fell, Su San's face was momentarily stagnant, and his eyes were filled with worry. He stretched out his hand to gently pat An Yan's back, and said softly: "Little woman, your uncle is already dead, can't you be rational?"

  Su San's words directly touched An Yan's sore spot. She instantly pushed Su San away, with a force that was unexpectedly strong, and Su San, who had not been prepared, was pushed to the ground in an instant.

  An Yan rushed over to help him up, "Su San, I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional."

  Su Sanshun hugged An Yan tightly and said in a soft but firm tone, "It's okay, I'm thick-skinned. As long as I can make my wife happy, she can do whatever she wants to me."

  An Yan stayed in Su San's arms for a while, but suddenly lifted her head and said: "Su San, I really saw my uncle."

  Su San didn't really want to get entangled in this matter at this time, but looking at the small woman's eyes shining with intense light, he sighed and said: "Little woman, when your uncle passed away, you personally saw him being buried, didn't you?"

  About what happened to Bai Qi, he had secretly investigated and indeed it was already a done deal, no mistake about it.

  These words brought a deep pain to An Yan's eyes, and she suddenly turned her head away, tears falling pitter-patter.

  "I know you've never been able to accept Uncle's passing, and not being able to see him before he died. It has always been a pain in your heart, but the past is already gone, isn't that what you always say? Since we have buried that hurt, let it be forever hidden deep within our memories, and let Uncle rest in peace. Uncle won't blame you, he's watching over us with love from another place, definitely hoping for our happiness. Little woman?"

  Su San knew that although An Yan always said to look forward, the matter of Bai Qi was a pain in her heart that could never be touched, an irreparable regret.

  Her hands were uncontrollably clutching her chest, where it hurt. Her expression was sorrowful, but her words were agitated. "Su San, why don't you believe me? I really saw my uncle just now. It was really him, with those clear and familiar eyebrows. And then he turned around, smiled at me with kindness and tolerance. That kind of kindness and tolerance could only be from Uncle."

  When she was most at a loss, it was her uncle who accepted her, believed in her and cared for her. In her heart, her uncle took the place of a complete father. How could she accept that due to her insufficient consideration, her uncle had gone like that? Before he left, she hadn't even been able to see him one last time.

  Su San's eyes were also slightly red, his face was gloomy, he supported An Yan's body and said seriously: "I know you can't accept it, but that's the fact, it's already a fact. Little woman, do you understand?"

  An Yan stretched out her hand again to push Su San, "I don't believe it, I clearly saw it."

  After finishing speaking, An Yan suddenly stood up and was about to rush out. Just as he took a step, he suddenly turned his head around, "Don't follow me, I want to be quiet for a while."

  As soon as she finished speaking, An Yan ran off. As she ran, it seemed that a warm teardrop fell onto Su San's face. He reached out and gently touched it, then brought his hand to his eyes to look at it. Sparkling and translucent, with some remaining warmth, this was the young woman's tear. He stood up and quietly followed in the direction An Yan had just left. The young woman said he couldn't follow her, so he would secretly follow without letting her discover him.

  Anwen was walking aimlessly on the street, her face calm, but slowly calming down. She knew it couldn't be her uncle, her uncle had indeed passed away. But that one glance, absolutely wouldn't be an illusion, who could it be? Could it be that she was truly too heartbroken, so she had an hallucination? At this moment, Anwen couldn't confirm, only feeling a mess in her chest, the figure she saw earlier clearly falling into her mind again.

  When An Yan raised her head again, she found herself unexpectedly in a quiet alley.

  At this time, a young man with a bad temper was rubbing his hands in the alley, full of anger and resentment on his face. "It's really a bloody curse, it's really losing as much as you bet."

  As he spoke, the young man spat out a mouthful of saliva. Yu Guang, however, caught sight of An Yan walking in unconsciously and his eyes lit up instantly. The young man rubbed his hands excitedly before hurrying towards An Yan's direction.

  An softly stopped in her tracks, gazing coldly at his figure.

  At this time, Su San, who was following behind An Yan, was quietly lurking at the entrance of the alley. Seeing that man dared to look at his beloved little wife with such eyes, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his chest. At this moment, if it weren't for remembering that the little woman didn't allow him to follow her, he wouldn't have shown up. He would have rushed over and made that kid useless.

  That young man had no idea of the danger approaching, stopped at a distance of one step from An Yan, and looked at An Yan's slender figure with a sly gaze. In his heart, he was secretly calculating that such a beautiful little girl would be enjoyed by himself for a few days first, and then sold to the brothel, which would be truly satisfying and profitable. The young man still felt dizzy and couldn't believe that such good fortune had fallen upon him.

  "Little girl, you're here specifically for a date with me?"

  She looked at him coldly and said in a flat tone: "I saw your unchaste thoughts towards me from your eyes."

  The young man was taken aback, this woman is really a bit strange, shouldn't she be panicking and wanting to run out at this time? How come, still talking to herself like that. However, the young man didn't think much of it, just thought her personality was a bit weird.

  He stretched out his hand and was about to touch An's face as white as jade.

  Su San outside the alley, with a concentrated energy in his hand, pointing at the young man's crotch, with raging flames burning in his eyes.

  Not even waiting for Su San to make a move, a mournful howl came from the alley. Su San looked carefully and saw that the young man was lying on the ground, his hands trembling as he covered his crotch, his face contorted in pain. Su San looked at his own hand in confusion, certain that he hadn't released any energy yet. After a moment's thought, his eyebrows furrowed, realizing that he and his little wife were somehow connected.

  In the alley, countless wailing voices were soon heard one after another. The sound was earth-shattering and unbearable to listen to.

  He withdrew his foot from stepping on the young man's leg and said expressionlessly: "Don't let me see you again, otherwise I'll beat you up every time I see you."

  The young man was on the verge of tears, this little girl looked soft and weak, but how could she be so fierce? He was beaten to the point where he had no room for counterattack.

  An Yan was originally quite capable, unless she encountered someone like Xiao Du who had exceptional martial arts skills and lightness techniques. Otherwise, dealing with ordinary thugs would be a breeze for her - one could take down one person, two could take down a pair, and so on. After this exchange, An Yan felt much more at ease in her heart. Suddenly, even the gaze she directed at that young man had softened considerably.

  "I was in a bad mood just now, but thanks to you letting me practice on you, I'm feeling much better now."

  The young man wanted to cry but had no tears, watching An Yan's back as she walked step by step out of the alley.

  The young man saw An Yan disappear, and only then did he let out a long sigh. As he struggled to get up from the ground, he thought that he would have to burn more incense when he got back home, it was truly an unlucky year. However, before he could even finish his lamentations, he had only managed to crawl halfway up when he was kicked back down again by someone. He lifted his head once more, on the verge of tears, and thought to himself that woman had come back again...

  As a result, he looked up and saw not An Yan's elegant face, but Su San's face that was like the god of death. The young man was shocked by Su San's aura and trembled, saying: "Brother, is there something I can help you with? I haven't offended you, have I?"

  The young man couldn't figure out how he had offended such a big shot. The man exuded an aura of invincibility, his presence was intimidating, and he really had no impression of him at all.

  "Hmph, daring to have ulterior motives towards my wife, it's simply infuriating. What just happened earlier, has he already forgotten?"

  At this moment, the young man is not about to cry, but wants to knock himself to death. These two couples are really a match made in heaven, one is as fierce as the other. The wife beats him up, and the husband still wants to come back for more, it's simply unbearable.

  The alley continued to echo with mournful wails, accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering bones.

  Su San looked at his miserable state and suddenly felt that his mood had also improved, so he swayed out to find his little wife.

  Who would have thought that just as he walked to the entrance of the alley, he saw his own little wife standing at the corner of the wall, with a faint expression and eyes that seemed to be smiling but not quite.

  Suddenly, Su San was at a loss for what to do with his hands and feet, "Wife, how did you end up here?"

  "I'll wait for you."

  An's soft smile fell on Su San's body with a light and gentle gaze.

  Su San's heart was uneasy, earlier the little woman had told him not to follow her, now he was caught red-handed, would the little woman be angry? Su San couldn't help but sneak a few glances at An Yan, but he couldn't discern any clues from her expression.

  Before Su San could even react, he felt an itch on his arm. He turned his head to see the soft hands of the little woman pinching him. Seeing this, Su San touched his head and smiled foolishly, "Wife, you can pinch me all you want, as long as it makes you happy."

  "......"

  Su San is indeed thick-skinned to a certain extent...
