Xue Zi Ning expertly shoved firewood into the hearth, the flames reddening her face.
Wei Hai couldn't help but watch as the fairy finally gained a touch of earthly warmth, his heart beating a little faster.
This was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and he had fallen for her at first sight.
He knew he wasn't worthy of Ah Ning with his child, but he couldn't help how much he liked her.
He knew Ah Ning was determined to leave here, even secretly asking the old ferryman. Fortunately, the villagers were united and informed each other of any matters, otherwise, he would still be in the dark. Da Feng Novel
The village chief told him to quickly take Ah Ning's purity. Once a girl lost her purity, she would wholeheartedly stay.
He… he was a little timid.
Xue Zi Ning was unaware of Wei Hai's thoughts, otherwise, she would have beaten him until he was covered in bruises.
"Dad, Sister Ah Ning." Wei Dong rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room, clearly just waking up.
Xue Zi Ning dug out a roasted sweet potato from the ashes of the fire pit and handed it over, "Dong Zi, eat this!"
Wei Dong's eyes lit up. He took it, blew on it because it was still hot, and started eating, saying as he ate, "Sister Ah Ning, it's delicious, really delicious."
Xue Zi Ning dug out another one from the fire pit and ate it herself, leaving none for Wei Hai.
Wei Hai gave a wry smile and continued to stir the porridge in the pot.
"Hai Zi, Hai Zi..." The village chief's voice came from outside.
Wei Hai put down what he was holding and walked out. Seeing the village chief, he couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong, Village Chief?"
The village chief glanced into the house. Wei Hai stepped forward and whispered, "What is it?"
The village chief lowered his voice and said, "Someone else has drifted ashore."
Xue Zi Ning, who was eating her sweet potato, paused slightly.
"I'll go take a look," Wei Hai said.
The village chief nodded and glanced into the house, saying, "Don't let her know."
Wei Hai replied, "Don't worry, Village Chief, I know what to do."
After the village chief left, Wei Hai walked back into the house and said, "Dong Zi, you stay and play with Sister Ah Ning. Dad is going to help the village chief with some work."
Wei Dong nodded, "Okay, Dad, you go ahead. I'll take good care of Sister Ah Ning."
Wei Hai glanced at Xue Zi Ning, who was eating her roasted sweet potato, saw nothing unusual, and left.
"Sister Ah Ning..." Wei Dong sidled up and looked at her.
Xue Zi Ning said, "Dong Zi, shall we play a game of hide-and-seek?"
Wei Dong, being a child, clapped his hands, "Okay, okay."
Xue Zi Ning said, "You cover your eyes here and don't peek. I'm going to hide. When I'm hidden, I'll say 'done,' and then you find me."
Wei Dong nodded, "Okay."
Wei Dong covered his eyes. At this moment, Xue Zi Ning leaped out and followed behind Wei Hai, arriving at the village chief's house.
She went around to the back of the village chief's house.
There was a window at the back. She poked a small hole and leaned in.
Inside, a man lay on the bed. Wei Hai stepped forward, looked at him a few times, and then asked the village chief, "When did you find him?"
The village chief said, "It was that child, Shi Tou, who found him."
Wei Hai felt the clothes of the man on the bed. Finally, on the inner side of the clothes, he found something. With a clinking sound, something fell out.
It rolled onto the ground. Xue Zi Ning saw that the token had only one character on it: Qian.
Others might not know what this represented, but Xue Zi Ning knew very well that this was an assassin from Qian Jin Lou.
Why would an assassin from Qian Jin Lou be here? Xue Zi Ning pondered for a moment, then saw Wei Hai pick up the token and say, "It seems to be an assassin."
Xue Zi Ning was startled. To be able to tell from the token that this person was an assassin, Wei Hai was not simple.
"Who?" Wei Hai suddenly attacked, the token flying from his hand towards Xue Zi Ning.
She retreated rapidly, ducking and hiding in the haystack behind her. Soon, Wei Hai chased out, saw the token on the ground, searched around, and finding no one, said to the village chief who had followed out, "I might have been mistaken."
The village chief said, "This token..."
"Village Chief, please let me manage it first," Wei Hai said.
The village chief nodded, "Then you must protect it well."
"Don't worry, Village Chief, I know this," Wei Hai said. Just as he was about to turn, he saw the small hole in the window, and his expression changed slightly.
"Wei Hai, what's wrong?" The village chief also noticed Wei Hai's unease.
Wei Hai shook his head, "Village Chief, I just remembered I have something to do, I'll be going back."
The village chief nodded, "Hurry up!"
After Wei Hai left, the village chief also entered the house. Xue Zi Ning quickly used her agility skills to return to Wei Hai's house and hid herself in a chest.
"Is Sister Ah Ning done yet?" Wei Dong covered his eyes. He had been waiting for a long time.
"Wei Dong, where is your Sister Ah Ning?" Wei Hai returned and saw only Wei Dong in the house, becoming anxious. He rushed forward and pulled Wei Dong's hands away from his eyes.
Wei Dong opened his eyes and saw only him and his father in the house. He became anxious, "Where is Sister Ah Ning?"
"I'm asking you!" Wei Hai asked anxiously.
Hearing this, Wei Dong burst into tears, "Sister Ah Ning and I were playing a game here. Where did Sister Ah Ning go?"
"Hurry and search," Wei Hai said.
Suddenly, a sound came from inside. Wei Hai quickly walked in and saw the chest seem to move. He stepped forward, opened the chest, and seeing the person inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah Ning, why are you here?"
Xue Zi Ning didn't look at Wei Hai, but looked at Wei Dong and said, "You cheated. Why did you bring someone else to find me?"
Wei Dong stepped forward, took her hand, and cried, "I… I thought Sister Ah Ning had left and didn't want me anymore."
"How could that be? I was hidden here the whole time, you just couldn't find me."
Wei Dong scratched his head, "Really?"
"I've been here so long I almost fell asleep, and you're asking if it's true? I won't play with you anymore," Xue Zi Ning said with feigned anger.
Wei Dong quickly said, "Don't, Sister Ah Ning, I was wrong, okay?"
Xue Zi Ning glanced at Wei Hai and said in a cool tone, "Does Brother Wei think the same way?"
Wei Hai quickly shook his head, "Ah Ning, don't misunderstand, I didn't."
"I'm hungry," Xue Zi Ning got out of the chest and sat on a chair.
Wei Hai quickly walked out, "I'll make meat porridge today."
"Great, we're having meat porridge!" Wei Dong shouted happily.
Only Xue Zi Ning licked her lips. Meat porridge? She wanted meat, all meat.
As night fell, Xue Zi Ning entered the room. When it became so dark that not even a finger could be seen, she quietly climbed out of the window.
She sprinted all the way to the village chief's house.
The village chief's family was not yet asleep. The village chief's wife sighed, "You've brought trouble back."
The village chief said, "What else could I do? I'm the village chief."
The village chief's wife said, "But tying him up like this isn't a solution."
"Tie him up for now. We'll talk when Wei Hai comes tomorrow. If it's really not possible, we'll just throw him back into the sea to feed the fish," the village chief said.
After all, this was a place where no one could hear their cries, and no one would come here.
The village chief's wife nodded, and there was nothing else they could do.
The person on the bed moved his fingers slightly, then stopped moving.
