Chapter 119: The Tragedy Caused By Plucking A Flower
“Everyone likes Sister Yuanman and doesn’t like me. Uncle is bad, Third Uncle is bad too! I don’t like Third Uncle anymore!” Jiang Xinxin said with red eyes, her double fists clenched tightly as she walked in the village, still muttering angrily in her mouth.
After coming in last in the fishing task again, Jiang Xinxin was unwilling to accept it. Seeing Jiang Chuyun frequently looking at Nan Yuanman, the unwillingness and grievance in her heart directly reached the peak.
Therefore, she didn’t go back to the room with Jiang Chuyun carrying the ingredients, but stayed outside alone sulking.
More than that, she was secretly expecting in her heart that after Third Uncle put the things back in the room, he would come out to find her, coax her, and comfort her heart.
But she sat outside for a long time and never saw Jiang Chuyun’s figure, as if he had forgotten her, which made her even more heartbroken and sad, and she hated Nan Yuanman even more in her heart.
“It’s all Uncle’s fault, why did he bring Nan Yuanman back! If he hadn’t brought her back, I would still be the most pampered child in the family!” Jiang Xinxin vented by pulling nearby weeds and throwing them to the ground.
At that moment, Jiang Xinxin saw Nan Yuanman not far away, running toward Grandpa Hu’s house with her short legs pattering.
She frowned: “Nan Yuanman? Where is she going?” Could it be that she wants to secretly do bad things while the adults are away?
Jiang Xinxin’s eyes lit up instantly, her childish little face full of excitement at catching Nan Yuanman doing bad things. Without thinking, she followed right after.
This time, she must catch evidence of Nan Yuanman doing bad things! Make Third Uncle and Actor Feng see her true face clearly!
Just as Jiang Xinxin had just left, a slender figure appeared behind her. She hesitated as she looked at the two little ones, one in front and one behind, pursed her lips, and followed after…
–
On the way to Grandpa Hu’s house, they passed a river where the wildflowers by the riverside were blooming particularly lushly. From afar, the colorful flowers looked especially beautiful.
A child’s mind is easily attracted by these pretty things. Nan Yuanman looked at her empty little palm and remembered Grandpa’s teaching that you can’t go to someone else’s house empty-handed as a guest.
But she had no extra small coffin to give to Grandpa Hu now.
The little girl stared at the flowers by the riverside and thought for a few seconds, then happily decided to pick a bunch of flowers to give to Grandpa Hu.
Nan Yuanman had also been taught by Old Master Nan since childhood not to get too close to the water when alone, so she cautiously stayed about half a meter away from the riverside, pouting her little buttocks and humming as she picked flowers.
The little one muttered in her mouth: “This flower is pretty, this one is nice, this one can be given to Third Brother…”
Jiang Xinxin, who had been following her all the way, watched her little figure humming and picking flowers, and her gaze involuntarily fell on the river not far away.
The river water sparkled under the sunlight, looking especially beautiful.
She suddenly thought of the plot she saw at home before, watching TV with Mom, where a child fell into the water and died. A thought emerged in her heart… if…
If Nan Yuanman died like the child in the TV series, would everything go back to normal?
Mom wouldn’t be locked in the room unable to come out like now, Uncle would love her again, and Third Uncle wouldn’t be attracted to Nan Yuanman…
The more she thought, the more Jiang Xinxin felt that letting Nan Yuanman die was a good idea.
Jiang Xinxin stared at the river water, malice rising to her courage. She tiptoed closer behind Nan Yuanman and suddenly pushed her toward the river with her hand!
Nan Yuanman had already noticed when Jiang Xinxin approached, but she didn’t expect Jiang Xinxin to be so vicious as to directly push her into the water.
She reacted extremely quickly and grabbed Jiang Xinxin’s wrist, pulling her toward the riverside together.
Jiang Xinxin’s hand smashed right onto a stone by the riverside, causing her to scream in pain: “Ah—!”
While screaming, she forcefully shook her hand and kicked fiercely at Nan Yuanman with her foot: “Let go! Let me go quickly!”
Nan Yuanman tightly gripped Jiang Xinxin’s hand, twisted her body to dodge the kicking foot, and angrily questioned her in shock: “Jiang Xinxin! Why did you push me!”
Jiang Xinxin was extremely panicked inside. She never expected Nan Yuanman’s reaction to be so fast! She didn’t even have time to run! And was caught by her!
She shrieked in sophistry: “I didn’t push you! I just wanted to play a game with you! You fell down because you couldn’t stand steady yourself!”
While the two were tugging and pulling, Meng Juanjuan ran over and anxiously said: “Xin Xin sister, Sister Yuanman, what’s wrong with you two? Why are you suddenly arguing? And in such a dangerous place by the riverside.”
Nan Yuanman was stunned for a few seconds seeing Meng Juanjuan who suddenly ran out, her gaze suddenly falling on this face. She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt… Juan Juan sister now looked a lot like… a fox.
The little one was a bit confused and distracted thinking, but how could a person turn into a fox?
In these few seconds of her distraction, Meng Juanjuan had already come to their side and grabbed their hands.
As soon as she gripped Nan Yuanman’s hand, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve into a weird, excited smile: “Arguing by the riverside, so…”
The next second, she suddenly exerted force with her hand, pushing Nan Yuanman and Jiang Xinxin into the river, her voice lightly floating as she added: “dangerous.”
Nan Yuanman: “!!!”
Jiang Xinxin: “!!!”
Plop! Plop!
Nan Yuanman and Jiang Xinxin fell into the river together, and the river water immediately submerged them.
Jiang Xinxin struggled and screamed in panic: “Ahhhh!! Help! Help—!”
Nan Yuanman didn’t scream. When falling into the water, she instinctively held her breath and waved her little arms and legs to swim toward the riverside. But as soon as she moved, the river water stuck to her like glue, binding her tightly.
‘Meng Juanjuan’ stood by the riverside, expressionlessly watching Nan Yuanman and Jiang Xinxin struggling in the river water. Those eyes had already turned into red fox pupils.
She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips: “Two tributes. Now, I can have a full meal.”
She raised her hand, and malevolent qi invisible to ordinary people—black with strands of red—tightly wrapped around Nan Yuanman.
Nan Yuanman held her breath and struggled, only feeling her whole body strength rapidly disappearing as she sank toward the river bottom.
Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Cao in the shoulder bag sensed that Nan Yuanman was in life danger. Ignoring that it was still daytime, Xiao Cao clawed open the shoulder bag opening and rushed out. Its straw-made hands grabbed the malevolent qi and yanked hard!
The malevolent qi tore apart, and the bound Nan Yuanman was able to move. She immediately threw Zhuang Zhuang toward Jiang Xinxin, whose struggling amplitude was gradually decreasing: “Save her!”
Even though Nan Yuanman really disliked Jiang Xinxin, she couldn’t just stand by and watch her die.
The wooden puppet possessed by Zhuang Zhuang instantly grew larger and dragged the sinking Jiang Xinxin up from the river.
‘Meng Juanjuan’ was full of shock, incredulously looking at Nan Yuanman who quickly escaped from her malevolent qi control: “You… are a heavenly master?!”
Nan Yuanman’s eyes sparkled brightly, glaring at her with extreme anger. She forcefully smashed the small coffin toward ‘Meng Juanjuan’: “Evil thing! Get off Juan Juan sister quickly!”
–
At the same time, Feng Langqing, who was still coordinating the next itinerary with Luo Wei, suddenly felt panic in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.
He couldn’t stay put and hurriedly left Luo Wei with a sentence: “Arrange the rest of the itinerary freely. Just give me four days off in a month.” Then he hung up the phone.
Feng Langqing grabbed his mobile phone and went to the yard to shout Sister Yuanman a few times. Not hearing her respond, he remembered that Sister Yuanman had greeted him earlier that she was going to find Grandpa Hu.
He opened the yard door, wanting to go to Grandpa Hu’s to find Nan Yuanman. Just then, Jiang Chuyun also opened the door and came out. He was also going to find Jiang Xinxin. The two looked at each other.
Feng Langqing sneered coldly, strode past him, and left.
Jiang Chuyun pursed his lips and silently followed behind him.
At that time, by the riverside.
Nan Yuanman was grabbed by the neck by a white shadow and lifted into mid-air. Behind her were Meng Juanjuan and Jiang Xinxin lying unconscious on the riverbank.
The white shadow had an extraordinarily beautiful face, with black hair, red lips, and fox eyes, every smile and frown full of captivating charm.
At this moment, half of this beautiful face was shattered, exposing grim white bones.
“Your talent is indeed good, but unfortunately… you’re still too young.” Fox Great Immortal slowly repaired her half face that was smashed by Xiao Hong, staring sinisterly at Nan Yuanman: “If you were a bit older, I’m afraid I would capsize in the gutter.”
Nan Yuanman’s little face was flushed red from holding her breath. Her little hands quickly took out talismans and threw them at her, but for some reason, these talismans had no effect on Fox Great Immortal!
Fox Great Immortal laughed: “Stop struggling. Your talismans are useless against me, after all…”
“I am an immortal, after all.”
