“My son doesn’t know you? Then how do you know my son?” The old woman was very confused, and his vigilance was getting higher and higher.
Jiang Yu didn’t answer but asked instead, “Do you know what your son is doing outside?”
The old woman paused, and without a moment of hesitation, she asked Di Di to drive them out. “Di Di! Drive them out! They are not good people!”
Di Di was a little embarrassed, “Why? They are my father’s friends.”
“What friends? They are liars! Why don’t you kick them out?! Go next door to your second aunt and second uncle and kick them out!”
Seeing the old woman getting more and more agitated, the veins on her neck were clearly visible. She even wanted to drag her legs out of the bed and kick them out personally.
Jiang Yu had no choice but to leave with Sister Xia in a hurry so that they wouldn’t cause any trouble here.
On the way down the mountain, Sister Xia complained as she walked, “What’s wrong with this old lady? We’re clearly being kind, why isn’t she grateful?”
“She should know what Ah Xiang has done outside.” Jiang Yu helped Sister Xia down the mountain. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so resistant to us.”
“Who knows? I think she just can’t stand to see others treat them well!” Sister Xia became angrier the more she thought about it. “Jiang Yu, don’t come to this place again. I really get angry when I see their faces.”
“Well, I won’t come.” Jiang Yu said, “But now we can be sure that Di Di is indeed Ah Xiang’s daughter. Sister Xia, you can tell Chang Kai about this later.”
“I told him about this when I went down the mountain just now. He said that he and his colleagues are already here,” Sister Xia said.
“That’s good.”
Jiang Yu and Sister Xia returned to their residence. The sky was already a little dark. There was a cold wind blowing in the surroundings, which was somewhat eerie and terrifying.
“It’s really strange. Isn’t this the south? Why is it so cold at night?” Sister Xia kept rubbing her arms. “And this doesn’t look like a proper village.”
Jiang Yu also felt that there was something wrong with this place, but she couldn’t tell what it was.
“Let’s eat first. After we finish eating, we shouldn’t go out,” Jiang Yu said as she turned on her phone and ordered two takeout dishes.
“This place is really too scary.” Sister Xia closed all the curtains in the room and turned on the lights. “After Chang Kai and the others arrive tomorrow, we should hurry back.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yu nodded.
She had been staying at school recently, so Mo Long had no idea that she had come here tonight.
Jiang Yu didn’t plan to tell Mo Long, lest he worry.
Knock, Knock. Someone knocked on the door.
“Is it the delivery?” Sister Xia looked at Jiang Yu.
But Jiang Yu’s expression was one of confusion and fear.
“According to the notification on the phone, the delivery person will arrive in ten minutes,” Jiang Yu said.
“Ah?” A chill immediately rose from the soles of Sister Xia’s feet. “Who is that outside the door? Could it be the cleaner or the waiter here?”
Jiang Yu did not think so. “If it’s them, they should have revealed their identity when they knocked on the door.”
“Then, the person outside the door is…”
Before Sister Xia could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by another knock on the door.
“Knock, Knock –” This time, the knocking on the door was even more intense than the previous one. It was as if they wanted to smash the door open.
“They’re not friendly.” Jiang Yu only said this sentence before she ran to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain to observe the situation downstairs.
“How is it?” Sister Xia was worried that the group of people would break the door open, so she quickly locked the door and brought two more chairs to block the door.
The noise outside the door became louder and louder. Some people even spoke in a dialect, but Sister Xia did not understand a single word.
“There’s no one downstairs.” Jiang Yu quickly took the scissors on the bedside table and cut the bedsheets into strips. Then, she tied them together and made a long “Rope.”.
This was the first time she had tried it in real life, something she had seen on television. She did not know if it would work or not.
However, at this critical juncture, she had to make a last resort. Regardless of whether it would work or not, she had to give it a try.
She tied one end of the “rope” to the heater and threw the rest down the window.
She called Sister Xia over. “Sister Xia, come. In this situation, our survival is more important.”
“Okay, okay,” Sister Xia replied. She carried the backpack on her back and slid down the long “rope.”.
Fortunately, the room they had booked at the beginning was on the second floor, so it wasn’t too high. Otherwise, a single sheet might not be enough.
