Ning Ning curled the corners of her mouth, feeling like she was being wronged.

But what can she do when she is under someone's roof?

After all, she was a person who could not escape, and every choice was related to her life. In the end, Ning Ning could only bow to reality and chose the fastest and most expensive option.

[A pair of custom-made ancient-style cow tendon sole rubber cushioned embroidered shoes with a shit-like feel is 3298.9 yuan (including 10% service fee), and the balance in the mall is .16 yuan. ]

Ning Ning's heart is bleeding...

If she couldn't get the gold anymore, she wouldn't be able to afford medical treatment, not to mention anything else.

Ning Ning let out a soft sigh.

However, this sigh made Shang Wenqi open his eyes.

He knew that Ning Ning had external injuries, especially her feet, which were seriously damaged. He thought that this frail and distressed lady would cry helplessly when he saw her wounds, but she just treated her wounds silently, then curled up and fell asleep quietly.

Maybe this man wasn't as fragile as he thought.

But after all, it was someone else's business, so Shang Wenqi quickly calmed his mind and continued to concentrate on meditation.

Fortunately, the pursuers did not harass us again that night.

The next day, Ning Ning was awakened by the reminder sound of the mall.

[Host, your embroidered shoes have been delivered. Would you like to try them on? ]

Ning Ning sat up suddenly when she heard the voice. Her first reaction was to look around. It was already dawn, and Shang Wenqi beside her was gone. The shabby house was empty.

Ning Ning couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that she wasn't alert, but Shang Wenqi's Qinggong was too ghostly. Many times, she couldn't feel Shang Wenqi's presence at all.

I don’t know what this guy does so silently. If you don’t know him, you might think he is the legendary shadow guard.

However, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Ning Ning quickly took out the shoes from the mall.

I have to say that the shoes made by the top-notch Chinese craftsmen are truly amazing. Apart from anything else, their appearance is so real that it can be mistaken for the pair that Shang Wenqi got.

It's just that its internal structure fits better, the lines are smoother, and it's more comfortable.

Ning Ning put her clothes on quickly and stood up tentatively. She felt as if her feet were stepping on cotton, which was much more comfortable than the hard and ill-fitting shoes.

She moved back and forth a few steps, testing the bottom line of her feet. However, although the shoes were in good condition, she soon felt a dull pain in the soles of her feet.

Ning Ning sighed helplessly.

In order to achieve the goal of three-inch golden lotus, the original owner's family forcibly broke her four toes, and in order to show the beauty of her arched feet, she had to wrap them with cloth all year round. Even if she lays her toes flat now and unties her foot bindings, her feet are like pig's trotters and cannot be restored at all.

Not to mention that she was forcibly escorted for a month.

All in all, the feet have been over-strained, and it is impossible to recover overnight. As the old doctor said, you can only take care of them slowly.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ning Ning heard noisy footsteps coming from outside. It sounded like there were at least ten people, and some were crying and shouting, and it was very chaotic.

This was obviously not Shang Wenqi. To be on the safe side, Ning Ning could only retreat into the darkness temporarily.

After a while, some people came in. They were a few middle-aged men. They carried a wet piece of linen and walked quickly into the shabby house.

At the back of the team, two people who were familiar with the route quickly brought two long benches from the dilapidated house, placed them one in front of the other, and then lifted the wooden board and placed it on the long benches.

A simple plank bed was placed in the middle of the dilapidated house, with the end of the bed facing the door, which looked a bit weird.

After finishing all this, the two of them went out to greet everyone.

"Okay, put the people up quickly!"

"My son...my son..."

As the noise continued, people carrying sackcloth finally came into the house. They put the sackcloth on the wooden board, and the objects wrapped inside gradually became clear.

It was the body of an eight or nine-year-old girl, who looked like she had drowned. She was wet all over, her face was pale, her skin was swollen, and her stomach was unusually bulging, which looked horrible.

At this time, her mother was crying and following the team, but due to taboos, everyone did not let her get close.

Neighbors gathered around her and advised: "Old people can't send young people away, you should go home quickly."

"Yes, Sister Xiaolin, you still have two little ones to take care of. Hurry up and leave this to us."

"My poor Daya..." The woman cried heartbreakingly, but was still dragged away by her neighbors.

There were only a few strong men who were used to seeing life and death left in the dilapidated house. They covered the little girl with a piece of white cloth to hide the horrific scene.

Then he found a sand basin, lit three incense sticks on it, scattered paper money, and burned gold ingots.

One of the uncles sighed and said, "Daya, don't blame your parents for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. In your next life, you should open your eyes and be reborn into a good family. Don't be reborn into a poor family again."

"It wasn't easy for Daya either. It was such a sin to fall into the well..."

"Well, why are we talking about this? Let's talk to the village chief and ask him to seal the well mouth smaller. Otherwise, someone will fall in every now and then. This won't work."

"That's not right. Let's find a place to bury Daya at night, right? Why don't we go find the village chief now?"

"Okay, strike while the iron is hot."

After talking for a while, they burned the paper money and left the charity cemetery in a hurry.

Ning Ning, who witnessed everything, realized that the dilapidated house she thought was actually a charity cemetery, and those benches and door panels were not prepared for travelers, but for people who had died suddenly to lie down.

No wonder Shang Wenqi had that expression when she suggested lying on the board.

But this guy is really something, can't he just tell her the reason? What if she really goes to lie down!

Thinking of this possibility, Ning Ning felt unlucky.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm speechless when I think about the various dead people lying on the wooden boards and the various germs that may be left on them.

If she really lay down and was unlucky enough to get infected with the germs...it would be a real loss.

Just when Ning Ning was lost in thought, a mellow and cool voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Scared?"

Ning Ning was suddenly startled and turned around. Shang Wenqi, who had disappeared, appeared behind her again at some point.

This person is like a ghost, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

Ning Ning pretended to be afraid and patted his chest, then looked behind him, but there was only a dark wall behind him and no secret door.

"Where did you come from?" she asked curiously.

Shang Wenqi did not answer, but found a clean place in the dark and sat cross-legged again.

"?" Ning Ning was puzzled: "What are you doing? Aren't we leaving? There is a dead body here..."

"Are you afraid of death?"

"It's not a question of whether we are afraid or not, but the villagers said they would come back at night. What if we run into them?"

Shang Wenqi glanced at her and said, "There are secret guards everywhere outside."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Ning lost interest.

It turns out that Shang Wenqi went out to explore the way.

Ning Ning curled her lips and said, "I am just the daughter of a small official. Is it worth mobilizing so many troops to hunt me down?"
