Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: The Strange Woman

Let's go quickly, this place is very chaotic

Once she decided to leave, Jin Xiaoji didn't want to stay for a moment. Li Wei and the others had just left and might come back at some point. It was really dangerous here.

She quickly overtook Mu Dongyang and strode towards the end of the alley, until they turned a corner and Shi Jiu's angry scolding could be heard from afar. The iron buckets were kicked by him with a thud, but he still couldn't calm his anger.

Is he okay

I originally wanted to ignore his existence as much as possible, but for some reason, when I left the alley, Xiaoji felt a tightness in her chest and blurted out words of concern. But after she finished speaking, she regretted it. She had just told Shi Jiu that they had nothing to do with each other, and doing so now was completely unnecessary.

But Mu Dongyang had already heard her words, and his pace noticeably slowed down: "Don't worry, his endurance is stronger than anyone else's." After saying a few words, he smiled and continued, "Besides, he's not lost to me for the first time. Maybe he'll come back after a few days

You knew each other before? "No wonder their way of getting along was so strange. Little Ji suddenly realized that Shi Jiu had been causing trouble for him for a long time, but she didn't know how the two of them got together.

We have known each other since we were young, and we have been calling and calling countless times. "Feeling that Jin Xiaoji wanted to know, Mu Dongyang patiently told her, and the two walked side by side. Soon, they could no longer see the trace of the Xihe Corridor.

Jin Xiaoji listened very carefully. She had been trying to figure out the relationship between these two people, which was closely related to whether she could finally find complete peace. Therefore, she couldn't help but ask more questions and understood that the first day she was hit by her phone was purely because she was the victim of someone else's injustice.

It's also a coincidence that there were at least hundreds of classmates present that day, but it was you who was hit by Shi Jiu. "Thinking of something, Mu Dongyang suddenly smiled mysteriously, and the topic gradually opened up.

Your family, oh, I was wrong. It should be his family. His family's situation is already very complicated, and he has become like this, which is also caused by family factors

What? Your family, theirs. I don't seem to understand what you're saying

It's not that it seems, but that I really don't understand. This Mu Dongyang seems to know something, but he refuses to say it openly, just constantly hinting and trying to test his reaction.

So it's like this. "It seemed that with the result he wanted to know, Mu Dongyang regained his previous calm demeanor.

"Let me tell you that Shi Jiu has a very powerful grandfather who is very strict with his descendants. I have been to his house several times before and met his brothers and sisters. They are either as rebellious as Shi Jiu, or as submissive as Shi Jiu. They can't make a difference. So it's better to live in that environment than to be like some escaped clansmen. Maybe they will live better now."

Are you saying that Shi Jiu's actions are all caused by family reasons, so let me not care

After circling around in such a big circle, I finally understood what he was saying. Little Ji's brow gradually relaxed and her anger subsided by a large margin. It has to be said that Mu Dongyang is a good man. He doesn't care about others' mistakes, and he even takes the initiative to resolve conflicts. She can even guess that if it weren't for Shi Jiu's coercion tonight, he wouldn't have really fought him.

You can say that, "Mu Dongyang shrugged, his gaze lightly tracing across Xiao Ji's relaxed brow, as if searching for something." Time flies so fast, your house is about to arrive. Do you want me to take you in

Speaking to him, she didn't even realize she was approaching the doorstep. Xiaoji quickly restrained her mind and looked up.

Just now, as I passed through the small path ahead, the scenery on the roadside turned into two rows of small forests. Behind the forests, I could vaguely see an independent courtyard, which was the home chosen by my parents.

Under the moonlight, the blue bricks and tiles on her own roof shimmered with a faint silver light. She used to stand on the roof with her parents, gazing at the night sky and listening to them tell those magical stories. Although the family's days were monotonous and ordinary, they were also warm and happy.

It's a bit strange to settle down in such a remote place, but Mu Dongyang didn't ask, so Xiaoji naturally wouldn't mention it. Just when she saw the lights on inside her own house, her chest suddenly pounded uncontrollably a few times, and joy quickly climbed up her eyebrows and eyes.

No need, both of my parents are at home. If you go in now, they will ask three or four questions, and then our relationship will be inexplicable

They are just boyfriend and girlfriend according to the agreement. As long as Bohe's request is fulfilled, she may be able to invite everyone to her home as ordinary friends, provided that they are not intimidated by their parents' stunning appearance.

Okay, be careful yourself

Mu Dongyang didn't say much more, just followed Xiao Ji's gaze and looked at the window with the lights on. It seemed that someone was walking by the window, and from his angle, he could see a petite female figure.

I'll come pick you up tomorrow. If the car doesn't come in, we'll meet at the same place as last time

Well, okay, whatever

Before leaving, Mu Dongyang said another sentence, but Jin Xiaoji's thoughts had completely flown back home. She just casually responded and waved her hand, walking towards the house with a strong sense of return. She didn't even know when the person behind her would turn around or leave.

The closer she got to the doorstep, the stronger the feeling of her heart pounding wildly. As the familiar shadow passed by the window, Xiaoji couldn't help but shout out, "Mom

No one answered inside, but the shadow quickly moved over and the door was opened.

But standing at the door was not my mother, but a middle-aged woman I had never seen before, about forty years old, with long black hair that didn't match her age. Her hair was neither disheveled nor coiled up, but loosely tied around her shoulders. When she saw herself, the woman's eyes suddenly widened and she opened her arms as if she wanted to pounce.

Who are you? How could you be in my house

Xiao Ji quickly dodged the woman's movements, but before she could even feel relieved, the woman curled her lips and grabbed her again.

This seemingly simple move is like casting a trap, cutting off one's retreat in all directions. Knowing that she had encountered the legendary master, Xiaoji was sweating profusely, but despite her best efforts, the woman's hand still effortlessly covered her.

It's over!

Jin Xiaoji couldn't help but protect her head, and at the same time, her heart was spinning back and forth. She didn't know when she had exposed her horse's foot. Did her father really hit it off? Did some hermit expert really come after her at home?

The more I thought about this idea, the more terrifying it became. Thinking that something so unsettled had happened on this peaceful night, Xiaoji suddenly felt inexplicable sadness in her heart. Then, thinking that Mu Dongyang had just left, she became anxious and let out a long roar of internal strength.

Mu Dongyang

This shout pierced the night sky, as if shaking even the forest, but something even stranger happened. Normally, whenever she shouted, anyone living nearby would come out to see, but this time, except for the strange woman in front who stopped, there was no response from around.

What strange magic is this? This woman is by no means simple!
