Duan Mingna came here this time to take her nephew away and go to another city to start a new life together.
"Xiaochuan, would you like to go with your aunt?"
"In the future, with your aunt here, no one will bully you anymore. You can grow up in a normal family."
Duan Hanchuan was silent. Duan Mingna said that the other party was indeed his aunt, and he did not like the orphanage.
But he doesn't want to leave. What will happen to Luo Ning if he leaves? Luo Ning is not only his friend, but also his relative.
After hearing the twists and turns of the story, Luo Ning felt a little complicated. Duan Hanchuan still had family members, and he still cared about him, Luo Ning felt happy.
If Duan Hanchuan followed his aunt, he should be able to live a happy life and have a family. Who wants to be an orphan?
But in that case, would Duan Hanchuan not need him anymore? Would he want to leave this dreamland? Luo Ning couldn't bear the thought of never seeing this cute cub again.
Duan Mingna took Duan Hanchuan's hand and frowned: "Xiaochuan, what's wrong? Why don't you speak?"
"Don't you want to go with aunt? You can tell aunt if you have any difficulties."
Duan Mingna's eyes were full of worry, and her breath was as soft as a daisy that had just bloomed, which made people feel very friendly.
Duan Hanchuan broke away from her hand and turned to hold Luo Ning's hand. "Aunt, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to leave here."
Compared to his aunt, whom he has never met before, Duan Hanchuan only believes in Luo Ning. As long as Ningning is with him, this is his home.
Duan Mingna couldn't believe it. How could she not want to leave? All orphans wanted to leave the orphanage, but Duan Hanchuan was completely different. Duan Mingna couldn't understand. She said in surprise: "Xiaochuan, don't lie to your aunt, why don't you want to leave? "
"You will be bullied here alone. You are so young, you should let your aunt take care of you."
Looking at the hands held together by Duan Hanchuan and Luo Ning, Duan Mingna suddenly realized and smiled, "Xiaochuan, are you reluctant to let go of this kid?"
Duan Hanchuan nodded.
Duan Mingna's expression softened and she smiled softly: "That's how you kids are, you value your friends more than anything else."
"It doesn't matter. Auntie can adopt this child. Auntie likes such a well-behaved child."
Duan Hanchuan and Luo Ning both opened their eyes slightly and looked at Duan Mingna in surprise, how could Duan Mingna make the adoption decision so straightforwardly?
Facing their doubtful glances, Duan Mingna smiled bitterly, "my last marriage brought too much pain to your aunt. She accidentally miscarried and may not be able to have a child of her own in the future."
"Your uncle and I have made a decision. Without forcing anything, we will adopt a child as our own. Now it happens that in addition to you, we can also raise another child. There are more people and it will be more lively."
"Your aunt's family is now in business and can afford to raise two children."
Duan Mingna's eyes were sincere. When she looked at the two little cubs in front of her, there was cautious expectation and desire in her eyes.
Under Duan Mingna's persuasion, Luo Ning agreed to go with her. He couldn't let go of Duan Hanchuan. At least he had to wait until Duan Hanchuan settled down in his new family and would not be wronged. Then he could leave this dream with peace of mind.
Because Duan Mingna was a relative, the procedures were relatively simple. Duan Hanchuan and Luo Ning packed their clothes and left after Duan Mingna the next day.
The little figure lengthened, Luo Ning looked back at the orphanage, waved, and said goodbye to the director and friends. The place where he had lived for half a year gradually disappeared behind him.
The city called Bincheng was too far away. Duan Mingna's living standard had improved now, and she was willing to buy three air tickets. Luo Ning and Duan Hanchuan took a nap, and when they woke up with sleepy eyes, they were almost at Bincheng.
Then she rented it out and arrived at a beautiful community. The door of the apartment in front of them opened, and a middle-aged man who was plump, kind and stocky came out with a big smile on his face, "you're back, the meal has just been cooked."
Duan Mingna shook Duan Hanchuan and Luo Ning's hands and reminded, "this is uncle."
Duan Hanchuan and Luo Ning called someone, and the middle-aged man answered with a smile. He heard his wife's phone call about adopting two children. Both children were very well-behaved. He opened the door and said enthusiastically: "From now on, this is your home, Xiaochuan, Ningning, don't be restrained, just tell uncle if you need anything."
"You must have been hungry for such a long time. I will put the food on the table right away. I made braised pork and cola chicken wings today. You kids will definitely like it."
Such a warm tone made Luo Ning relax a little. A parent who loves to laugh like this should have a good temper.
This apartment is very spacious, the decoration is simple and elegant, and every decoration is a bit particular and exquisite. As Duan Mingna said, the conditions are relatively comfortable.
The middle-aged man named Zhang Dahai greeted the two new children at the dinner table with a smile, "with you here, the house is much more lively."
Although he and Duan Mingna are from a remarried family, they have no stepsons and stepdaughters, so they have a harmonious relationship and live a loving and harmonious life.
In Zhang Dahai's words, he especially likes children.
After the meal, Duan Mingna introduced the layout of the home to Duan Hanchuan, quickly cleaned up a room, put on soft bedding, and planned to take Duan Hanchuan to buy some new clothes tomorrow.
Because of Duan Hanchuan's dependence, Luo Ning still slept in the same room with Duan Hanchuan. Their small, soft bodies were squeezed together, and the scent of fragrance came from the quilt. They had just arrived in a new environment and were still a little unable to sleep, but they were still very energetic at this time, round eyes bright.
Duan Hanchuan held Luo Ning's arm and smiled. From now on, they can grow up together and stay together.
Luo Ning felt like a caterpillar was twisting around him, itching. He touched Duan Hanchuan's hair and coaxed, "okay, go to bed quickly."
He stared at the small table lamp beside the bed, thinking that this dream might have changed. Duan Hanchuan would be taken care of and he would grow up smoothly. When he wakes up tomorrow, there should be bright sunshine.
Luo Ning paid close attention to Duan Mingna and her husband. They both had a gentle personality and were very considerate. She cooked delicious food for them in different ways every day, and often took them out to play. She took everything into consideration for them and never ignored them.
They were two qualified parents. Luo Ning felt relaxed. When he heard that they would be sent to study, Luo Ning's eyes lit up. According to the normal age, Duan Hanchuan should be in elementary school, and now he is studying again from the first grade. Get up, it's late.
It just happened to be that the winter vacation had just begun and the time was not suitable. Duan Mingna planned to sign up again next year.
The temperature in Bincheng is very comfortable. Even in winter, it is not as cold as in the mainland. It does not snow all year round, and snowflakes can only be seen on TV.
Luo Ning and Duan Hanchuan were sitting at the table, watching cartoons. There were many children in the community. Luo Ning originally wanted Duan Hanchuan to be more cheerful and took the initiative to take Duan Hanchuan to play with those children, but Duan Hanchuan was very repulsive, so he had to give up...
While he was fascinated by watching TV, Duan Mingna came out with chopped dumpling fillings. Luo Ning and Duan Hanchuan helped make dumplings to eat during the Chinese New Year. The closer to the end of the year, the more lively the community became.
The New Year's Eve dinner was sumptuous, and fireworks exploded outside the window. Not long after, Duan Hanchuan will be one year older again.
Luo Ning was planning what kind of birthday gift he would prepare for Duan Hanchuan. In the middle of the night, he wanted to get up and go to the toilet, so he went to the toilet.
Because she was a little thirsty, he turned towards the kitchen and passed by the study. To Luo Ning's surprise, the light was still on in the study.
It's a bit late now, why isn't he sleeping yet?
Luo Ning originally wanted to stop by to remind him to take a rest, but maybe because he was small and his steps were too light, there was no movement even when he walked on the floor.
Luo Ning came closer and suddenly heard two laughters coming from inside. He vaguely heard the words "two little fools". He frowned. His intuition prevented him from knocking on the door, and he continued to listen subconsciously.
The door panel is very thick and the sound insulation effect is very good, but Luo Ning has Xiaoba to help explain, so he can vaguely hear what is being said.
Zhang Dahai's face in the study room is still kind, but there is a trace of cruelty and joy in his eyes. "Those two fools have lowered their guard and trust us, so let's take action. Boss Wan can't wait any longer."
"To be honest, they are quite obedient. I really like them. I originally planned to take good care of them, but you have become pregnant recently, so they are of no use to them."
Duan Mingna was a little hesitant, "I won't talk about the wild boy named Luo, but Xiaochuan is my nephew after all."
Zhang Dahai patted her hand and said, "we are husband and wife. Can I not know what you think? Given your family's situation, how can you feel about your so-called nephew?"
"Don't be soft-hearted. If this deal goes through, we can make a lot of money."
Duan Mingna pondered for a while, her eyes were cold, without any warmth as usual. She touched her belly, her eyes became colder and colder.
It is true that Duan Mingna eloped to Bincheng, but the painful marriage life changed her whole person. She was still soft on the outside, but her heart gradually became harder than iron.
Duan Mingna is no longer a gentle girl because of her ex-husband who likes domestic violence. Something is stirring in her heart. She lives such an unfortunate life, and seeing others living so comfortably makes her feel dazzled.
She couldn't regret it, and she desperately wanted to get rid of that disgusting marriage.
Finally, she met her current husband, a man who was very kind to her. With the help of her current husband, Duan Mingna successfully divorced.
It was only after she got married that Duan Mingna discovered that her husband was engaged in the grain and oil business, but in fact he was a gangster and had a secret network under his control.
By attacking some children or single adults, taking body parts, and then selling them to other sick wealthy people.
Such a dark and profitable business has maintained their current good life.
The Male Protagonist And The Male Counterpart Are Together 11
Duan Mingna had actually known about her brother being imprisoned and her nephew being sent to an orphanage a long time ago, but she was not in a hurry. Her marriage was uncomfortable and she wanted to escape back to her parents' home, but the whole family was occupied by her eldest brother. For a moment, she hated that family.
If her eldest brother hadn't been too selfish and wanted to occupy the entire house, she wouldn't have been forced to go back to Bincheng and live such a hard life.
This time she went back to take Duan Hanchuan away just because she had difficulty getting pregnant. It was better to raise her own nephew than to adopt an unknown person. But now that Duan Hanchuan was useless, it was time to realize the last bit of value.
Duan Mingna's eyes glowed coldly, and she began to calculate the huge benefits she could get this time.
They contacted a customer this time. Because his child was suffering from kidney failure, Duan Hanchuan would be able to help him, it would be worth several million.
Luo Ning's heart continued to sink, and his hands and feet were cold. He tried his best to hold his breath and not make any movement. He stood on tiptoes and returned to the room calmly.
The moment the door was closed quietly, Luo Ning pressed against the door panel and dared to breathe.
He didn't expect that he would overhear such a secret. Duan Mingna, who was so gentle and kind, and so patient with them, was actually a criminal and was planning to attack them.
Luo Ning didn't dare to think, if he hadn't happened to hear it, would he and Duan Hanchuan have fallen into a trap? Fortunately, he followed Duan Hanchuan here.
Thinking of Duan Hanchuan saying yesterday that he would repay his aunt when he grows up, this is Duan Hanchuan's only relative, why is Duan Mingna so cruel?
These warm days turned out to be fake.
Luo Ning felt sad and touched Duan Hanchuan's sleeping cheek. He must find a chance to take Duan Hanchuan away as soon as possible. Duan Mingna should take action soon.
Luo Ning had something hidden in his heart. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep at all at night. He got up with an ugly face the next day and pretended as if nothing had happened and that he didn't know anything.
Duan Mingna was cooking in the kitchen, still smiling warmly in the hot air.
Noticing that Luo Ning's eyes were a little green and black, she pinched Luo Ning's face and said with a smile, "why did you become a red panda?"
Luo Ning pretended to be naive, "I watched cartoons too late last night. I'm so sleepy."
Duan Mingna chuckled and said, "I want you to be playful next time. Children must go to bed early. They are only allowed to watch TV for an hour tonight."
Luo Ning nodded, his eyes darkened. The mask on Duan Mingna's face was so perfect that she could rival a professional actor. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he really wouldn't have been able to detect the coldness hidden in her.
After morning, Zhang Dahai would go to work as usual. Duan Mingna had nothing to do and often stayed at home.
Luo Ning jumped off the sofa, lay down by the door, and said in a coquettish tone: "Auntie, I want to eat chicken wings today. Are there any chicken wings in the refrigerator?"
Duan Mingna frowned slightly, feeling that Luo Ning was in trouble, and said, "No."
Luo Ning said again: "There seems to be no meat in the refrigerator. Auntie, when you go to the supermarket, can you buy some on the way?"
Duan Mingna thought for a while. There were no ingredients in the refrigerator. This was not good. She was pregnant and needed balanced nutrition.
Considering the child in her belly, Duan Mingna immediately stood up and prepared to go out. She turned around and saw that Luo Ning was sitting on the sofa obediently watching TV again. She reminded: "Ningning, be obedient and don't go out. "
Luo Ning looked like he was addicted to TV, "I know, Auntie."
As soon as the door closed, Luo Ning's expression was much more serious. Duan Hanchuan held his hand and asked, "what's wrong?"
He knew Luo Ning very well, and Luo Ning seemed to be hiding something.
Luo Ning whispered: "I will explain it to you in detail later."
Quickly ran to the window, and when she saw Duan Mingna's figure disappearing downstairs of the community, Luo Ning rushed into the study, quickly turned on the computer, and tapped on the computer with his fingers.
Because Zhang Dahai was not on guard against them, the computer did not have a password, and the previous files were encrypted, but some information had not been blocked last night.
The information was irrelevant. Luo Ning couldn't find any stronger evidence, so he became a little anxious. He looked through it over and over again and found that a customer had sent a message on a certain chat software. The sentences in it were very vague, saying that he was ill, etc., not in time, need to see the goods immediately.
Zhang Dahai also replied, saying that four pieces of goods would be delivered on March 20th.
Four pieces of goods?
They should be talking about him and Duan Hanchuan, as well as two other unknown people.
Luo Ning was a little disgusted. They were actually treated as cargo. He recalled it carefully. Zhang Dahai mentioned a place last night, which was in the basement of an abandoned building.
After getting the information he wanted, Luo Ning turned off the computer again, went into the house and grabbed two pieces of clothing, and then left with Duan Hanchuan.
Duan Hanchuan remained silent. Seeing Luo Ning's face solemn, he obediently followed Luo Ning downstairs. He believed that there must be a reason for Luo Ning acting this way.
Luo Ning was afraid that Duan Mingna would come back halfway, so he moved quickly, his heart was lifted, and he hurried out of the community gate and stopped a taxi.
A normal child would probably be confused, but Luo Ning has money in his space and can go wherever he wants. Time is tight. He doesn't know how extensive Duan Mingna's network of contacts is, so he must leave this area quickly.
Otherwise, Duan Mingna would use the excuse of searching for missing persons and quickly use the developed network to find them.
Unable to obtain more definite evidence, even if he and Duan Hanchuan paid their respects, they might be taken back by Duan Mingna. After all, what adults say is always more credible.
But before leaving, Luo Ning was unwilling to let Duan Mingna go. He used a public phone and called the police in a low voice. Duan Mingna and Zhang Dahai were involved in illegal activities and would carry out criminal activities in a certain building on March 20th.
After settling all this, Luo Ning took Duan Hanchuan to buy the nearest ticket, and then told Duan Hanchuan the truth. Duan Hanchuan's eyes turned cold, and he seemed calm, but in fact his fingers were trembling.
He really regarded Duan Mingna as his aunt, and his mind went blank.
Duan Mingna wants to kill him.
The coldness in Duan Hanchuan's heart continued to rise, and he gritted his teeth tightly, thanks to the fact that he did not put all his trust in Duan Mingna.
Duan Hanchuan held Luo Ning's hand tightly. He almost hurt Luo Ning. If he knew it was dangerous here, he would not have brought Luo Ning here.
From the beginning, they should have stayed in the orphanage.
Luo Ning thought he was scared, so he comforted him softly.
Duan Hanchuan leaned on Luo Ning and hugged Luo Ning's waist tightly.
Luo Ning plans to go to a small town where they can rent a house, just him and Duan Hanchuan, plant some flowers and plants, raise a puppy, continue business, and he can watch Duan Hanchuan grow up.
On the other side, Duan Mingna, who was returning home after shopping for groceries, opened the door and looked at the quiet room. She thought Luo Ning and Duan Hanchuan were playing with toys in the room, but when she put her things away and took a look, she saw that there was no one in the room.
Duan Mingna frowned, her intuition was a little bad, her heartbeat was beating fast, and she quickly checked every room, and there was no one there.
Duan Mingna suddenly panicked for some reason. She ran to turn on the surveillance camera, but it was actually broken.
Realizing something, Duan Mingna hurried downstairs again. There was no one in the community. She ran to ask the security guard at the door and learned that the two bastards had really gone out.
Duan Mingna took a deep breath. Where could the two bastards go at this time? Under normal circumstances, they would go somewhere without saying hello to her.
Duan Mingna noticed something was wrong and thought of Luo Ning's green eyes. That night, she and her husband were talking about some shady things. It was possible that they were overheard.
No, no!
Duan Mingna wanted to comfort herself. The soundproofing effect of the room was very good. If she really was overheard, how could the little brat named Luo be so calm? Shouldn't he be trembling with fear? How could he act like nothing happened?
A mere little kid, even an adult, wouldn't have such scheming intentions.
But everything was unusual. When she went back and took a closer look, she found that a few pieces of clothing were missing. This broke Duan Mingna's fantasy. The two bastards really escaped while she was out.
Duan Mingna immediately called Zhang Dahai, feeling hateful and afraid. The two children had already negotiated the business. How much money would it cost? She didn't know how much information the bastard had heard. She always felt uneasy.
After learning the news, Zhang Dahai rushed back immediately, angrily blaming himself for being careless and letting the duck fly out of his mouth.
They were all a little panicked after hearing such dark things. In order to find the person quickly, they hurried to call the police. When they saw that the two bastards in the police bureau did not come to report their respects, Duan Mingna breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Mingna called the police, her eyes were red, and she told the police the excuse she made up. She kindly took her nephew and an orphan back to raise her, and treated her as her own. Who would have thought that without paying attention, the two children stole the family's cash and disappeared. What she said was that two children from an orphanage had contracted bad habits.
"Comrade Police, you must help us find this person quickly."
"He's my nephew. He's still so young. What if he meets a bad guy?"
"I'm really worried. As soon as there is news, you must notify me in time."
Duan Mingna felt that things were out of her control. The two bastards were smarter than she imagined. They calmly pushed her away and ran away from under her nose.
But where could he run to?
She and Zhang Dahai felt very uneasy, hoping to find the person back soon, and they couldn't sleep at night.
Zhang Dahai originally didn't want the plan to be carried out on March 20, but the customer was impatient and kept urging him. If he didn't hand over the goods quickly, the business would be gone.
Because he was reluctant to give up the profit, and everything was ready, the longer it was delayed, the more changes would occur, so Zhang Dahai went ahead with the plan and went to the abandoned building in the suburbs in person that day.
The Male Protagonist And The Male Counterpart Are Together 12
On March 20th, Zhang Dahai went to the secret site. The floor below was damp and dark, with a faint smell of blood.
Although it is cleaned every time, some of the blood stains have dried up due to long-term accumulation. At this time, only the pale lights are on, and anyone who walks in will definitely be shocked.
Zhang Dahai was already familiar with this scene. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he walked past the instruments placed around him. On the simple mattress, a person injected with anesthesia was lying, a child of about ten years old.
This child is a kidnapped beggar. Even if something happens, it will not pose any threat to him.
Zhang Dahai watched his men pick up the sharp blades. Just when he was about to take action, he suddenly had an extremely bad premonition. He became inexplicably irritable, his heart was pounding, and the basement seemed to have suddenly become much colder.
Zhang Dahai put out the cigarette butt. He felt very uncomfortable. After being silent for a while, he felt that something was wrong with his premonition, so he wanted his subordinates to stop their actions first. He planned to discuss it with the client and postpone it for a few days.
But it was too late for Zhang Dahai to regret it. When he made up his mind to terminate the plan, a chaotic sound rang out, and more than ten police who suddenly broke in entered the basement, staring at him coldly, pointing their weapons at him, and surrounded them stand up.
Zhang Dahai was so frightened by this turn of events that he almost leaned over. Why did the police come? He kept this secret well.
No matter how many doubts Zhang Dahai had, he clearly realized that he was finished and he might not be able to get out in the next life.
He knew very well that he was walking on a tightrope, but the profits that came like snowflakes confused his mind and made him put down his initial vigilance.
These criminal facts are enough to convict him of a felony.
Zhang Dahai was taken away as if he were dead. He had not lived enough of his good life. He would have saved as much money as he could, but now everything is gone.
Zhang Dahai was involved in a crime, and Duan Mingna was definitely not immune to it. She was also taken to the police bureau, and sat in a cold room. The cramped space and the dark future finally made the two of them afraid, and they began to regret choosing this path.
Both of them could see the situation clearly. In a situation where all the evidence was already proven and they could not quibble, they simply told the truth about all business matters.
The criminals involved in the underground dark network were all uprooted.
Once such a large-scale and sensational social incident was exposed, the response was very strong, and it even became a hot search topic.
Being able to do such cruel things, the scope of the network was so wide, and it harmed so many people. Looking at it carefully, it was simply heart-breaking. A chill ran up from the soles of their feet. They couldn't believe that such an organization could actually do such a cruel thing. After existing for so long, those who disappeared were treated cruelly.
And the couple Zhang Dahai and Duan Mingna were sprayed bloody. They looked kind, but their hearts were black as ink. How could they be so cruel?
The neighbors in the same community as Duan Mingna felt a little scared at this moment. They were even more frightened when they thought that they had lived with such a criminal.
What if Duan Mingna attacks them? They know people well but don't know their hearts. Who would normally believe that Duan Mingna and her husband are such terrible people.
Everyone has increased their vigilance and called for continued crackdowns on such organizations.
When Luo Ning saw the news, he had already settled in the town with Duan Hanchuan. They bought a simple small building with a spacious yard.
After seeing that Duan Mingna and Zhang Dahai were indeed caught, Luo Ning felt relieved.
He grabbed Duan Hanchuan and planted a grape tree together in the corner of the yard. They should be able to eat grapes by next summer.
When Duan Hanchuan heard the beauty described by Luo Ning, there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
When Luo Ning was smiling, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and gradually turned into panic. He quickly went to pull Duan Hanchuan because Duan Hanchuan's figure became transparent.
What happened?!
Luo Ning was anxious, but then he discovered that his own hand had become transparent, like a faded ink painting, and everything around him began to become void.
Duan Hanchuan's pupils shrank suddenly, obviously shocked by this change. He could only hold Luo Ning's hand tightly, but before he could react, all the color in his eyes disappeared.
......
During the Grain Rain season, there were only a few pedestrians on the streets paved with bluestones. This small city called Yecheng was just a small place for the man.
Pedestrians on the street were either wearing long-distance running jackets or coats, and several rickshaws passed quickly, splashing water all over the ground.
In a simple tea shed, several men were peeling peanuts and chatting.
The comings and goings were all the gossip in Yecheng. When talking about the Duan family that received the most attention, several men couldn't help but lower their voices.
"I heard something strange happened to the Duan family recently. Mr. Duan and the third lady went crazy. They locked themselves in the room and clawed off pieces of flesh from themselves alive."
"Mr. Duan's second son is also sick. It is said that one of the concubines in the family went out in the middle of the night and jumped into the well."
"I have a relative who works at Duan's house. He said that the well was filled with blood."
"Not only that, it is said that you can still hear the sound of the eldest young master reading in the middle of the night. Isn't the eldest young master long gone? How can there be the sound of reading? Just think about it and be careful."
"The Duan family is trying to invite the master to come. I think this matter is not easy."
Several people looked at each other and knew that this kind of thing was unusual. Due to some taboo, they didn't say it out loud. A gust of cool wind blew by, making them shiver and they didn't want to drink the tea...
Everyone in Yecheng knows the Duan family, because the Duan family is rich enough. In the past, the Duan family could be ranked high in Yecheng, but it was not the most prominent family.
But in the past six months, the Duan family seems to have suddenly had good luck. Business has become smoother and smoother, and good things have happened in the family. Suddenly, they have become a wealthy family in Yecheng.
Everyone originally envied the Duan family, but they did not expand their business to the provincial capital, because in the past two months, a lot of strange things happened to the Duan family. People in the Duan family were sick and walked away, even the servants were afraid and quit their jobs one after another. After all, life is more important than wages.
Someone analyzed it and found out that the Duan family was probably involved in something. After the eldest son of the Duan family left, the Duan family moved out of the old house. It was fine. Why did they move out? But now something unexpected happened.
Rumor has it that someone went to the old house and went crazy as soon as they entered, saying that there was a ghost. The old house has not been sold yet. In just six months, it was covered with moss.
Maybe it has something to do with the eldest young master. Who knows whether the eldest young master died of illness or not. Those wealthy families with a bright appearance always hide some shady dirt. Otherwise, why would the Duan family move out?
Others would talk about it from time to time, but the discussion was not lively. After all, they all had scruples about such things.
When Luo Ning saw the light around him again, he was standing on the damp street. He hurriedly glanced around him, and Duan Hanchuan was gone.
The warmth of the other person still remained on the hand, but it completely dissipated when the cold wind blew.
Luo Ning's heart sank. He and Duan Hanchuan were lost. It seemed that he had to take the initiative to find Duan Hanchuan again, but Luo Ning was not too anxious. He entered Duan Hanchuan's dream. Everything revolved around Duan Hanchuan. He should be there soon and can meet Duan Hanchuan.
Luo Ning was worried that Duan Hanchuan would not have a good life.
Looking around, Luo Ning was greeted by the quaint atmosphere and green brick and tile houses. The architecture was backward yet somewhat novel. The way those pedestrians dressed made Luo Ning know the background of this virtual world. Is this the Min Kingdom?
Luo Ning stood in a daze. A rickshaw passed by and a splash of cold water splashed on him. He suddenly came back to his senses.
Even if he knew nothing about this place, the first thing he had to do was to settle down and then go find out about Duan Hanchuan.
Luo Ning is penniless. If he didn't have space to rely on, he might be almost like a beggar.
The common currency here should be copper dollars or oceans, but Luo Ning has neither.
He wanted to buy some fruit, but it was already evening. Who would run out to buy fruit? It would cost money to stay in the inn for one night.
Luo Ning had no choice but to walk into an alley and knock on the door of a house shamelessly.
The person who opened the door was an aunt, maybe because she was busy, her face was a little impatient.
A polite smile appeared on Luo Ning's face. He was no longer a little boy, but a gentle and fair boy. Such a gentle and handsome face would easily make people like him.
The aunt was dazzled by Luo Ning's smile, her face looked much better, and she asked, "what's the matter?"
Luo Ning handed over the basket in front of her and said: "Auntie, I came to the city from the countryside to sell fruit. I lost all my money for some reason. It's too late now and it's not safe to go back. I want to stay with you for one night. I can give you all these fruits."
The aunt's eyes lit up when she saw the apples in Luo Ning's basket. The fruit was not cheap. Her family couldn't eat it for ten days and a half. With this fruit, her two children would be able to enjoy it.
Although the young man in front of her was dressed a little strangely, he looked like a scholar, so it was nothing to take him in for one night.
The smile on the aunt's face suddenly became more enthusiastic, and she let Luo Ning into the yard. The yard was not big, shared by two families. There was a smell of sewage in the air, rotten vegetable leaves were scattered on the ground, and chickens were fed in the corner...
Luo Ning's sleep was uncomfortable, but it was better than sleeping on the street.
As soon as he got up the next day, he planned to sell rice today, save some money, and then go inquire about Duan Hanchuan.
But just as he was about to go out, he saw a dispute coming from the end of the alley.
A mother and daughter seemed to be noisy.
"You are doing well in the Duan family, earning two oceans a month. Why do you want to come back?! Are you out of your mind?"
The young girl frowned and said, "mom, all you can see is money. I've told you that the Duan family is in trouble. What if something goes wrong!"
"Anyway, I'm scared in that house. No matter what you say, I won't work there anymore."
