Gu Zhiyin turned his head and saw her smiling as if she was watching a good show, "Are you itchy?"
"No."
"Ning Ning wants to try?"
"Then come."
Gu Zhiyin choked.
The bad girl knew that he couldn't do it now, so she deliberately provoked him.
"Wait for two more days."
Gu Zhiyin left a few words and walked to the bathroom.
Before entering the door, Mu Ning shouted to him: "Uncle Gu is old now. Isn't he going to die? Should I let you rest for a few more days?"
Gu Zhiyin staggered, wanting to scold but reluctant to scold, so he quickly went in and closed the door.
Mu Ning rolled forward and backward in pleasure on the bed. In the past, it was Gu Zhiyin who squeezed her dry, but she never thought that one day, she would be able to say these words.
After breakfast, Lao Wang came to pick them up.
Mu Ning's hometown is not in the center of the county, but in a small town, about an hour's drive away. The development there is not very complete and there are no good accommodations, so she chose to live in the county.
Although the road to the town has been repaired, there are mountains and fields on both sides of the road, and you can only see a house on the roadside from a long distance away.
The houses are basically red brick houses, and two-story bungalows are rarely seen.
Mu Ning turned to Gu Zhiyin and joked: "I'm taking Uncle Gu to the countryside to gain experience."
Gu Zhiyin chuckled, "I've seen it before."
Mu Ning looked surprised, "Huh? When? I remember that the Gu family's old residence has been developing very well."
Gu Zhiyin said calmly: "When the land was used for demolition in the past, the scene on the border of the capital was also the same."
"Oh, have the common people ever made trouble with you?"
"It's a big deal, just to pay for the demolition fee." Gu Zhiyin rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.
Mu Ning looked curious, "What's the fuss about? Are a group of people holding hoes and shovels holding banners to forcibly stop the work?"
Gu Zhiyin sneered, "That's nothing."
He knocked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Have you ever seen an eighty-year-old lady lying under a steamroller, unable to get up?"
"This is too cruel. How did you solve it? Did you find a publicist?"
"I asked the master who drove the steamroller to talk to her."
"Huh? What will he talk about?"
"His wife has run away, his child is seriously ill, and there is a mother with Alzheimer's disease at home. He has lost his job and the whole family is in dire straits."
"..." Mu Ning felt a trough in his heart.
"Are you putting pressure on him? Did the old lady finally agree?"
"If he didn't agree, he would go to the old lady's house and jump off the building. She was afraid that someone would die at her house, so she agreed."
Mu Ning gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Gu, you are a capitalist... no wonder you can secure this position."
Gu Zhiyin glanced at her and said, "You still have a lot to learn."
"I don't want to be like you. I'm too tired. I just want to live happily."
"Well, happily be my little waste." Gu Zhiyin smoked a cigarette and rubbed her head, "Take my money and support me."
"Without any personal attack." Mu Ning curled his lips and muttered, "Can we still have a pleasant chat?"
When they arrived at their destination, Mu Ning found that the town had changed drastically.
Her previous house was demolished and rebuilt into a small restaurant.
Mu Ning suddenly became nervous.
Gu Zhiyin noticed something was wrong with her face, frowned and asked in a low voice: "Ning Ning, did you remember something?"
Mu Ning nodded palely.
He reached out and took Mu Ning into his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Mu Ning lay on his chest, sucking in his scent, as if she could feel safe in this way, otherwise she would really be suffocated.
She thought about the night her mother was killed—
Twelve years ago, she was taken to the Gu family to give Mr. Gu a blood transfusion. The old man was already in critical condition. After a two-month delay, he eventually died due to ineffective resuscitation.
After attending Mr. Gu's funeral, Gu Zhiyin sent her home.
It was already evening when she got home. It rained heavily that night and the wipers didn't work at all. The little girl sat close to Gu Zhiyin in the back seat.
Gu Zhiyin closed his eyes and rested his mind the whole time. Mu Ning knew that the old man was in a bad mood after his death and did not dare to disturb him.
There was lightning and thunder outside, and Mu Ning was scared to death. She had never seen such bad weather.
After finally reaching the door of the house, Gu Zhiyin was still sitting in the car and did not send her up.
He asked the driver to give her an umbrella, and she got out of the car holding the black umbrella. She turned around and asked him, "Can I... see you again?"
Gu Zhiyin closed his eyes and did not answer.
Mu Ning bit her lip.
The driver saw her pale face and said, "Go home, girl. I will come to the capital to play in the future. If we are lucky, we will see you again."
Mu Ning knew that those words were meant to comfort her, and she walked away disappointed.
Her home is on the third floor, which is also the top floor. I found that the door of her home was not closed tightly. I was surprised that it was so late and the lights were not turned on at home. Why didn't her mother close the door?
Mu Ning closed her umbrella and crept into the house. She tried to be as gentle as possible to avoid waking her mother from sleeping.
The house has two bedrooms and one living room, and is very small. Her mother sometimes brings men back, so she has not slept with her mother since she was three years old.
But the door to her mother's room was wide open when she passed her mother's room.
Just in time there was lightning and thunder.
She saw a man stabbing her mother in the throat with a sharp knife.
Blood spurts out.
Mom fell to the ground, her eyes wide open, staring at the dull Mu Ning outside the door in fear.
There was a lot of blood on the ground.
The man suddenly realized something and turned his head at this moment.
There was another thunder and lightning, and the lightning illuminated the room brightly.
The man's ferocious face and those vicious, lifeless eyes were illuminated in a particularly strange and eerie way.
"ah--!"
Mu Ning screamed, threw the umbrella, and ran out without looking back.
The man immediately came after her.
She nearly tumbled down the stairs and stumbled out into the rain.
Gu Zhiyin's car hasn't left yet!
She ran that way with all her strength, but to her surprise, Gu Zhiyin actually got out of the car holding an umbrella.
She rushed towards him as if she saw a savior. The water on the ground was too slippery. She ran too fast and fell at his feet with a thud.
Gu Zhiyin looked down at her in embarrassment.
She raised her head and grabbed his trouser legs as if grasping a life-saving straw, "Help...help me..."
She was so scared that her whole body was shaking.
As footsteps approached, Gu Zhiyin saw the man rushing towards him and the bloody knife in his hand, with blood and rain dripping down.
Just when the man was about to stab Mu Ning, Gu Zhiyin suddenly closed his umbrella and slapped the man hard on the face, knocking him to the ground.
Gu Zhiyin kicked away the knife and knocked the man unconscious.
Mu Ning looked at the man who was knocked down by Gu Zhiyin and passed out next to her. She fainted due to excessive fright.
When she woke up again, she was in the county hospital.
Later, Gu Zhiyin held a funeral for her mother and adopted her.
…
Mu Ning was breathing rapidly in Gu Zhiyin's arms.
She has never dared to come back, that's why.
"If Ning Ning is scared, why did you bring me here?"
