After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

Old Lady Wang slapped her legs and wailed softly, "You two are really taking advantage of me. Your father asked me for dozens of taels of silver, and you asked me for more. Add to that what I spent before, and I have nothing left! Are you going to let me live?"

"Grandma, stop crying poor! If you don't do it yourself, I'll find it myself!"

Old lady Wang glared at him fiercely, "What sin have I committed, old woman?"

She wiped her nose and dug out a small bag from under the bed. After counting, she found that the silver coins and copper coins totaled more than three taels of silver.

Pushing it in front of Su Xiaoqiang, "There is nothing more, only these loves, do you want them?"

Su Xiaoqiang curled his lips and weighed his wallet.

That's fine, three taels is a lot, it's better to have something than nothing.

Besides, with his grandmother around, he was worried about not having money to spend.

That old woman must be hiding something!

But he could never understand why a man in black would leave such a large sum of silver in his yard.

Not to mention him, even Mrs. Wang, who unexpectedly got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, couldn't figure out who would put such a large sum of money in her house.

She hid the silver at that time, but no one came to her house after ten days or half a month, so she secretly told her son about it.

It was also her fault for being too talkative. After that, her disappointing son asked her for money every now and then.

After Su Xiaoqiang left, Mrs. Wang sighed again.

The first wife was not born by him. Su Zheng was his biological son, and he only had Su Xiaoqiang as his biological grandson.

Now he has been spoiled by that damn Zheng.

Mrs. Wang took out the hidden jar and counted it carefully. There were originally one hundred taels of silver, but now there were only more than twenty taels left.

Damn it, I can't give it to them anymore. Immediately, when no one was watching, she dug up the soil under a tree in the yard and buried the jar.

These are her coffin books and cannot be wasted again.

Of course, Su Runrun didn't know about what happened between Su Xiaoqiang and Wang Pozi.

She was going up the mountain with Gu Ji.

It was dark, and the people who were chatting at the foot of the hill went home one after another.

Seeing these two people doing the opposite, I knew what they were going to do.

She is exactly the same as her shameless second uncle.

The look he gave Su Ruanruan became more and more contemptuous.

Su Ruanruan was too lazy to pay attention to them and just asked, "Does Uncle Gu know that you came out?"

"He's not at home. He went to the next village to deliver a cow this afternoon."

Su Runrun said "Oh", holding the oil lamp in her hand, and walked in the dark forest feeling a little timid.

First, she was afraid that there might be wild animals in the forest, and second, she was really afraid of the darkness in the woods.

Feeling Su Ruanruan's uneasiness, Gu Ji took the initiative to hold her hand.

Su Ruanruan did not refuse. The warmth from her palms continued to come, and her flustered heart felt a little more at ease.

"We have been walking this road for several years. Why are you still afraid? This is not a deep forest. There are no wild animals here."

"If there were any, they would have been eaten when we first discovered this place. Recently, many villagers have been collecting ginseng in the forest, but they all returned empty-handed. Your little brother is really lucky."

He added, "I never noticed that you were afraid of the dark before, what's wrong with you lately?"

Su Ruanruan said in a muffled voice, "I had a nightmare recently. It was pitch black in the dream, so I'm scared now..."

"How about next time, we come during the day?"

Su Ruanruan shook her head. "There are many people here during the day. I'm afraid they will find this place."

Gu Ji relied on his memory to pull Su Ruanruan through the forest.

Finally stopping in front of a rock wall, he brushed away the branches that were blocking the entrance to the cave.

Bending down and crawling into the low cave entrance, Su Ruanruan took off the backpack behind her and followed him closely.

The gurgling sound of water beside his ears became clearer and clearer. Gu Ji reached out to take the backpack and helped her in again.

The space inside the cave is neither too big nor too small, and can be described as a masterpiece of nature.

The three pools here are even more peculiar. The small one is an ordinary hot spring, the medium one has the effect of beautifying the skin, and the largest one contains sulfur.

Gu Ji took out candles from the backpack and his brows twitched slightly as he looked at the six candles.

"Ruanruan, aren't these six too many?"

"Not much. I'm afraid of the dark."

Gu Ji swallowed his saliva. Previously, Ruanruan had only lit two candles, and the cave was dim.

But the last two times, Ruanruan lit six candles, and the light in the cave was as bright as day. Even if he was guarding the door, he could see the shadows projected on the cliff.

He is a man full of vigor and vitality, and Ruanruan must be too confident in him.

Sighing, he obediently lit six candles, then retreated to the cave entrance, picked up the largest branch to block the entrance, looked around vigilantly, but couldn't help looking into the cave through the gaps between the leaves.

Su Ruanruan took off her clothes and walked into the misty sulfur pool. The dark color on her body slowly faded away with the baptism of the sulfur water.

Revealing a jade-like snow-white skin.

She wiped her face with the handkerchief again, took off her disguise, and revealed a stunningly beautiful face.

Her skin is as white as a freshly peeled water chestnut, and her face is as blushing as a peach blossom.

Gu Ji's heart couldn't help but be restless. He looked at the shadow projected on the wall and closed his eyes in panic.

When she was eight or nine years old, Ruanruan had grown into a graceful young lady.

The men in the village looked at her more and more strangely.

She begged him to help her disguise herself. He begged his father for a long time before he gave him a prescription to change his appearance. With his knowledge of herbs, he went up the mountain to look for them every day. Not only did he prepare all the medicine, but he also accidentally discovered this remote hot spring that had not been discovered by others.

The villagers only knew that Ruanruan's appearance changed drastically after she fell seriously ill, but they didn't know that this was her way of protecting herself.

Of course, only he, Ruanruan and her mother knew about this. Perhaps his father also knew about it since he asked for the recipe.

The effect of the medicine is very short-lived, so they have to come here to re-brew the medicine every month.

She hasn't seen Su Ruanruan's true appearance for five or six years.

At this time, Su Runruan had already exited the sulfur water and moved to the middle pool that nourished her skin. Immersed in the hot spring water, her palm-sized face became increasingly rosy, like a ripe peach.

The skin all over the body is as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg.

After soaking in the beauty pool for another half an hour, she put the camouflage herbs into the ordinary hot spring. After the herbs took effect, she got into the pool, held her breath and sank into the water. When she came out again, her snow-white skin had turned dark yellow and black, and her appearance was like the bright moon covered by dark clouds, losing its original brilliance.

She leaned against the pool wall, closed her eyes and tried to rest, but she didn't expect that she would fall into a complete sleep.

When she woke up, all she saw was darkness, with only a small oil lamp emitting an eerie, dim light on the ground in the distance.

But soon, this little bit of dimness was completely extinguished.

Being in this almost enclosed and dark space, it was very hot, but my whole body felt cold.

My heart suddenly tightened and panic and fear surged into my heart like a tide.

His eyes flashed, and the memory of being locked in a dark basement in his previous life reappeared.

Su Ruanruan called out with a trembling voice, "Gu Ji, Gu Ji, where are you?"

But no one answered.

"Don't leave me alone... I'm scared, wuwu..."

Su Ruanruan was trembling all over and huddled in a corner of the pool.

I couldn't help but let my tears flow out, and my breathing became rapid.

"Can you not live without a man? The man who appeared in your house before was not him."

The cold voice rang out in the empty cave, like a ghost at midnight, suddenly scaring Su Ruanruan.

"Who? Who are you?"

This voice sounded somewhat familiar. If Su Runrun was calmer, she would be able to tell that it was Huo Yan's voice.

But she was trapped in the fear of her previous life, and everything in front of her eyes was dark. Even though she couldn't see, she could clearly hear the footsteps gradually approaching her.
