Chapter 149
Iâll Die in Front of Your Eyes (1)
The villagers were simple and honest people, and everyone was closely related. Just by crossing the road, you could probably bump into a relative. It wasnât an exaggeration to say that you didnât need to lock your house at night.
Jiang Xiaoman was the only one in the Jiang family right now, and she did not have a habit of locking the door during the day.
When she heard that voice, the person was already inside and she couldnât prevent him from entering.
Jiang Xiaoman glanced cautiously at him and loudly said, âWhat do you want? Grandma will be home soon!â
âDonât be nervous, donât be nervous.â Hong Xingguo gave what he felt was a friendly smile, but in reality he looked like the Wolf in âLittle Red Riding Hoodâ who pretended to be Grandma. He was also carrying a bag on his back which looked to be packed to the brim.
To dispel her cautiousness, Hong Xingguo put the bag down and took out a lot of miscellaneous trinkets from it.
âThis is a windmill that Granduncle made himself. Here, for you.â
He really made the windmill himself. Jiang Xiaoman believed him with just a glance because the windmill looked crude and ugly. Teacher Yang had also taught them how to make one in the handicraft class.
Cut a piece of paper into four, then put a nail and stick it to a wooden stick.
The one she made was even better than this.
She showed a disgusted look and said, âIâm not playing with it!â
The one Yu Qingshi made and gave to her was very pretty!
She stretched out five fingers, âI am five years old this year!â
â...â Hong Xingguo was furious.
He ran out of patience.
Hong Xingguo laughed coldly and took out a piece of cloth. Then, he covered her nose and mouth without saying anything.
The cloth was drugged.
Jiang Xiaomanâs eyes went wide open, as if she didnât expect him to still have such a trick. She struggled a few times, but soon there was no more movement.
She had fainted.
Hong Xingguo placed her in a bag without saying a word, and walked away while carrying her on his back.
System: â......â
It had wanted to remind its host not to reason with bad guys, because bad guys do not need a reason to do bad things.
But it didnât expect Hong Xingguo to be so quick and ruthless, to work so nimbly and cleanly.
He took her away without saying anything else.
Jiang Xiaoman didnât even get the chance to make any sound.
Many people in the village knew Hong Xingguo, and of the grudge between him and Jiang Xiumei. They knew that their two families did not communicate often, and they were considered to have broken their relationship.
Seeing him come again during New Yearâs Eve, they thought he was looking for freebies again and ridiculed him, âOh, this... Isnât this that... Who was it again? Did you come here to cause trouble again? Arenât you a man, have you no shame? Unfortunately people donât want you, this poor relative anymore. Why donât you have some shame.â
Hong Xingguoâs eyes were shifty, and he quickened his pace as he walked with a guilty conscience. He tried explaining, âWho is here to cause trouble? Iâm here to bring some gifts, but she wouldnât even let me come in. So cruel!â
The group of people laughed and watched him leave.
