Chapter 190: Targeted During A Night Run
The middle-aged female shop owner didn’t believe it on her lips, but she still secretly searched for “Jiang Yuan” online.
The videos that popped up made her face paler and her heart tighter the more she watched.
Her palms were damp, and she quickly called her husband, her voice low and tinged with excitement: “Something big has happened, our stingray wants to commit suicide! It has depression!”
Her husband was silent for a few seconds, then burst into laughter: “Are you kidding me again? How can a fish commit suicide?”
“It’s true!” The middle-aged female shop owner quickly recounted the situation just now, “I searched online, she really has abilities, what should we do? Seventy thousand yuan for a fish, we absolutely cannot let it die!”
Her husband probably listened, his tone becoming serious, “Then hurry and chase after her and ask for her help to persuade the stingray not to commit suicide!”
“Okay!” The middle-aged female shop owner hung up the phone, instructed the shop assistant to watch the store, and then ran wildly in the direction Jiang Yuan had left.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuan’s family had already driven away from the furniture city to have dinner.
The dining location was a hot pot restaurant by the riverside.
After eating hot pot, Deng Rui suggested looking at the nearby scenery.
The family of six walked slowly, the river breeze brushing against their faces, bringing a slight coolness.
It was now eight o’clock in the evening, the liveliest time by the river, with many young people carrying guitars and singing, and many vendors selling lemon tea, sausages, octopus balls, and more.
Even though she had just eaten hot pot, Jiang Yuan’s appetite was piqued, and she led her two young nephews to buy snacks.
Jiang Die was afraid that she couldn’t watch two children by herself, so after greeting her parents, she followed them.
Jiang Dashan watched the backs of the children and reached out to hold Deng Rui, smiling and saying, “Wife, this is our time for just the two of us now.”
“Go, go, go,” Deng Rui gave him a sidelong glance disdainfully, “Why are you smiling like a pervert?”
Jiang Dashan: “…”
Jiang Yuan didn’t expect that when she went to buy snacks, she would encounter an acquaintance; no, a familiar bird.
Someone nearby was releasing pigeons at night, scattering grains on the ground, and several birds were mixed in eating, one of which was the little sparrow Keke.
What a greedy little girl.
“Keke?” Jiang Yuan called out to it from afar, unsure if it heard her.
She called out several times, and just as she was about to give up, Keke, who was pecking at the food, finally stopped and looked up at her.
Keke’s little eyes brightened, and it chirped excitedly, “Yuan Yuan!”
If it were usual, Keke would have flown to her immediately, but today it was different.
It didn’t fly towards Jiang Yuan but said, “Yuan Yuan, wait for sparrow!”
Jiang Yuan blinked, thinking it was probably really hungry.
After buying the octopus balls, she lowered her eyes and saw Zhan Zhan and Momo curiously staring at the group of white pigeons on the ground.
“Do you want to go feed them?” she asked with a smile.
Zhan Zhan and Momo shook their little heads simultaneously, “No need, Auntie, we’ll just go home and feed the little sparrow!”
Jiang Yuan knew they were afraid of spending money, so she walked directly to the white pigeon owner, bought two bags of feed, and said, “You probably haven’t seen white pigeons before, come on, let’s go take a look.”
Zhan Zhan and Momo turned to look at Jiang Die, seeking her opinion.
Jiang Die felt a pang of sadness and said softly, “It’s okay, go feed the pigeons with Auntie.”
In the past, when she was raising two children alone, her income was not high. Zhan Zhan and Momo knew she wanted to save money and never made demands on her.
In supermarkets, you could often see children lying on the ground and rolling around to buy toys, but Zhan Zhan and Momo were the opposite; whenever Jiang Die wanted to buy them something, they always refused, saying they didn’t like it.
But she clearly saw them sneakily glancing for a long time.
Jiang Die watched her children’s backs, her eyes quietly reddening.
It was all her fault for not being capable enough to let them suffer so much with her.
Zhan Zhan and Momo fed the white pigeons, their childish faces filled with excitement and joy.
Jiang Yuan watched this scene, her lips, slightly oily from the octopus balls, curved upwards, her eyes filled with doting smiles.
“Yuan Yuan!” The little sparrow Keke finally came to her, chirping excitedly, “Sparrow just heard some gossip there, do you want to hear it?”
Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked while eating a ball, “Keke, what gossip do you have?”
The little sparrow Keke flapped its wings and landed on her shoulder, mysteriously whispering in her ear, “Sparrow heard that a female human was targeted by a male human while night running here, and those males are planning to ‘deal with’ that female tonight!”
After saying that, it tilted its head and asked curiously, “Yuan Yuan, what does ‘deal with’ mean?”
Jiang Yuan’s expression gradually became solemn, she stood up and greeted Jiang Die, “Sister, I have something to do, please keep an eye on Zhan Zhan and Momo.”
“Okay, go ahead,” Jiang Die nodded vigorously when she saw her expression, “I’ll handle it here.”
Jiang Yuan took the little sparrow Keke away from the crowded area.
She found a deserted corner and anxiously asked, “Is the news reliable?”
“Reliable!” The little sparrow Keke said very seriously, “Sparrow also heard them say they were coming here tonight to see what ‘dealing with’ meant!”
Jiang Yuan frowned and said sternly, “Keke, can you call the birds who know about this matter?”
“Yuan Yuan, is ‘dealing with’ a bad thing?” the little sparrow Keke asked doubtfully.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “It’s illegal, and you’ll be locked in a small dark room.”
“Sparrow knows! Then Yuan Yuan, you wait a moment!” After the little sparrow Keke finished speaking, it flapped its wings and flew away.
In a short while, the little sparrow Keke led several small birds to Jiang Yuan.
“Yuan Yuan, Sparrow heard it from them just now.”
Jiang Yuan glanced around; the small birds were two magpies and a swallow.
“Hello, I am Jiang Yuan.” After greeting them, she softly asked, “Are you the ones who heard those male humans’ plans last night to wait for the night runner tonight?”
“Yes,” the swallow said, “Several males were drinking that canned liquid by the river at night, and then they saw that female running, and they kept talking about her, and not just for one night.”
Jiang Yuan’s eyes flickered, and she frowned, “You mean they’ve been observing that female for several nights?”
The swallow nodded, “That’s right, that’s right!”
Jiang Yuan: “Then did you hear what those males said?”
The swallow was still recalling when the larger magpie eagerly replied, “Magpie heard it, they said the female’s legs are so long, I wonder if they are white and long when she’s not wearing pants!”
“That’s right, that’s right!” the little magpie echoed, “They also said the female’s ‘mines’ were so big, so big, and they swayed when she ran, very pleasing to the eye.”
The swallow also recalled and quickly said, “Those males said they couldn’t imagine how happy it would be to sleep with such a gem on earth, and then they started saying many things that swallow didn’t understand.”
Jiang Yuan’s expression was cold and her gaze sharp, “How many of them are there?”
The big magpie: “Three!”
