Chapter 10 The house was looted

Before she went down the mountain, she saw a person in the mist at the entrance of the village from a distance. Although she couldn't see the person clearly, she knew that the person was Lu Nan. There were several people with bad legs and feet in the village, and only Lu Nan had a wheelchair.

Wheelchairs are considered luxuries in this era. Most people with bad legs and feet can only lie down at home. Lu Nan has a wheelchair because of the special care given to him by his superiors.

 He is waiting for her.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but speed up her pace.

They were getting closer, and before she could speak, he had scolded her with a stern face, "Why are you running to the mountain? What should you do if you encounter danger? What should you do if you fall down when you go down the mountain so late and you can't see the road clearly?"

She wasn't angry either. She stepped forward and pushed Lu Nan toward the village. "I didn't go deep into the mountains. I won't encounter danger. It's indeed a little late to go down the mountain today. I will go early tomorrow."

 “Are you still going?” Lu Nan raised his head and glanced at her.

 “Don’t worry! I’ll be very careful.”

 “Your legs don’t hurt anymore?”

 “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” It hurts! It hurt even more after a day in the mountains.

But she didn't dare to say it hurt. If she did, Lu Nan would definitely stop her from going up the mountain.

Lu Nan has already cooked dinner, but there is still no meat and only a plate of vegetables.

well! She wanted to collect more herbs and take them to the market to exchange for money so that she could buy some meat.

 After dinner, Ning Xi picked up a few buckets of water from the well, washed the herbs and placed them on the ground covered with wooden boards to dry in the sun.

At this moment, Lu Nan noticed that Ning Xi had picked the herbs. There was a hint of weirdness in his eyes, but he couldn't help but didn't ask any more questions.

After a tiring day, Ning Xi took a shower and fell on the bed at night, then fell asleep. Lu Nan asked her to get up and apply the medicine, but she didn't open her eyes and let him use his rough palms to help her apply the medicine.

In the dim light of morning, Ning Xi opened her sleepy eyes and yawned. The person next to her disappeared again, and she didn't know what time he got up every day. How come she didn't know at all.

Lu Nan had already made breakfast. She made vegetable leaf porridge according to her request, added some lard and salt, and it smelled very fragrant. She also steamed the steamed buns. She didn't know whether he steamed them specially for her or just happened to do it. I want to eat these two days.

Ning Xi quickly made breakfast and packed the steamed buns, then put the basket on her back.

"Wait a minute." Lu Nan stopped Ning Xi who was about to go out, took out a pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to her, "Check the time. There will be fog in the mountains around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. You have to go home before 4 o'clock."

"Pocket watch, is this an antique? It must be worth a lot of money!" Ning Xi's eyes were bright. She had only seen pocket watches on TV in her previous life.

Lu Nan frowned and regretted giving the pocket watch to Ning Xi. He couldn't help but warn, "This is a gift from an elder in the team. Don't throw it away, let alone exchange it for money."

"I know." Ning Xi said coquettishly, bumping her bags on her back and walking out. In Lu Nan's eyes, was she the kind of woman who only cares about money?

She was the one who could do such a thing by exchanging his pocket watch for money?

Ning Xi stayed on the mountain for another whole day. Today, her luck was even better than yesterday. Not only did she collect a lot of usable herbs, but she also dug up a few orchids of excellent quality.

 I didn’t know about it in my previous life, and I don’t know if bluegrass is worth anything now.

I brought my watch with me today and had already gone down the mountain before 5 o'clock. Lu Nan was waiting for her at the entrance of the village again. When he saw her emerging from the mist, his face almost dripped with ink, "Didn't I tell you to go down the mountain earlier?"

Ning Xi hurried up and pushed him towards the village. "I have already gone down the mountain early. The mountain road is not easy to walk. I walk slowly, so I am late."

"I know the mountain road is difficult, so you should go down the mountain earlier." "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention to it tomorrow."

Lu Nan raised his head and glanced at her. The meaning was obvious. Are you still going?

Ning Xi smiled and touched her nose innocently.

Despite Lu Nan's strong objections, Ning Xi went up the mountain on the third day and didn't come down until around five o'clock.

I don’t know if she was angry, but she didn’t see Lu Nan when she went down the mountain.

This person is really stingy. She went up the mountain just for him. It doesn't matter if he is not moved, but she is still angry.

Ning Xi pouted and walked quickly towards home.

Several aunts stood together at the entrance of the village talking. When they saw Ning Xi, one of them hurriedly opened her mouth, "Ning Xi, why are you still here? Something happened to your family."

Ning Xi's heart tightened, her face changed slightly, and she didn't even bother to ask what happened. She ran home with a basket on her back.

 Her door was once again crowded with people, muttering and wondering what they were talking about.

Ning Xi suddenly felt bad and hurriedly pushed through the crowd and rushed into the yard.

 The first thing that caught his eye was the wheelchair lying on the ground. It looked like it was broken.

Lu Nan was sitting on the chair in a state of embarrassment. There was some dirt on his body, some small wounds on his face and forehead, and veins on his neck were bulging. His whole figure was like a volcano about to erupt, and his whole body was filled with monstrous anger.

The people from the Lu family were surrounding him and whispering something.

As soon as he saw Ning Xi, Yang Yufeng immediately rushed over and slapped her in the face, "You are such a scourge. It's not enough to ruin my son's money. Now you want his life, right?"

This slap made Ning Xi stunned on the spot, her ears buzzing.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Lu Nan's face was livid, and he rushed forward suddenly. He forgot that he was a disabled person and couldn't stand up and couldn't protect her.

"Xiaonan (brother Several people from the Lu family called out anxiously and hurriedly caught him.

Ning Xi ignored the argument with Yang Yufeng and rushed into the house the moment Lu Nan rushed out. "Brother Nan."

“Don’t come near my brother.” Lu Bei stopped in front of Ning Xi and glared at Ning Xi angrily. He clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth.

"Xiao Bei, what happened?" Ning Xi did not argue with Lu Bei. She knew that Lu Bei was different from Yang Yufeng. He just felt sorry for his brother.

"You still have the nerve to ask what happened?" Yang Yufeng rushed over and grabbed Ning Xi's arm, pushing her to the ground. "That good brother of yours brought 20 or so little beasts to the house to smash and rob." , and beat my son, do you know what Xiaonan looked like when I came over?"

"Mom, that's enough." Lu Nan roared angrily, his whole body trembling. If he hadn't been stopped, he would have pounced on Ning Xi again.

"He was pushed to the ground, kicked and punched by those brats, and was trampled on the ground by them." Yang Yufeng ignored Lu Nan and continued to speak loudly, "You loser, my house has never been clean since you entered the door. You Get out of here, we don’t have a daughter-in-law like you.”

Ningyang, how dare he?

Ning Xi stood up from the ground, calmly picked up the herbs scattered on the floor and put them into the basket, and walked back to the room. The room was turned into a mess, clothes and socks were discarded on the floor, and there were no books on the desk.

His most precious military ID card was thrown casually on the ground, with several footprints on it. The box he used to store his medals was also opened, and all the medals were gone. Except for the 300 yuan she had on her, the only 100 yuan left at home was No more money.

A fierce look flashed across Ning Xi's eyes.

Yang Yufeng rushed into the room and grabbed Ning Xi's hair, dragging her out. "Get out of here, you can't understand people's words, right?"
