Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 264 Let's Go

In the summer of Xinghong's 27th year, Jiang Xian, who recognized his blood parents, returned to Zhuji Village again, with the "purpose" of going to Jiangpinghou's mansion with him.

At this moment, the younger sister, whom she had finally met, was leaning against the wall she had leaned against, quietly listening to Mei Xiaomian's story of the past few years.

The tree above his head was rustling by the wind, and the leaves fell to his shoulders. Jiang Sheng slightly raised his hand, holding the summer green leaves.

Putting the leaf under the sun, you can vaguely see the veins inside, just like through Mei Xiaomian's unclear narration, she can also seem to see her sister's five or six years in another world.

Even for Jiang Xian's cognition, Mei Xiaomian almost only stays in this small village.

"Everyone in the village knows the virtues of Uncle Jiang's family. Sister Jiang seldom goes back to the village as she gets older..." Mei Xiaomian said, "I don't even have a home to go back to during the Chinese New Year."

Mei Xiaomian sighed.

"Later Uncle Jiang and the others said they were going to visit relatives, and the women in the village asked Sister Jiang to come to their house to celebrate the New Year, but Sister Jiang refused."

"Oh, by the way, it's strange to say that Uncle Jiang and the others have been there for several years, and the fields have been taken up. It is rumored in the village that they did not dare to return to the village because they offended someone."

"However, sister Jiang recognized her biological parents and they came back soon, and the second elder brother of the Jiang family was awarded a Jinshi. This is the first time in our village, and no one dares to gossip."

Mei Xiaomian said so much, her mouth was parched, and she waved her hands: "I went home and scooped up some water, I was dying of thirst."

She paused for a while, and added another sentence, her tone was very kind: "Do you want to go back with me?"

Jiang Sheng said narrowly: "Go back with you, and you let your yellow dog bite me again?"

Mei Xiaomian choked.

It turns out that everyone knows this!
She was a little embarrassed: "It's not that..."

At first, she just couldn't understand Jiang Sheng's ladylike style, she was dressed in a clean apricot-colored skirt, she was incompatible with Zhuji Village, and she didn't get along well at first sight.

After exchanging these few words, Mei Xiaomian also reflected that he might have preconceived it.

But Jiang Sheng still said: "You go back, I'll hang around here for a while."

Mei Xiaomian touched her head: "What's the difference?"

She took a look at Jiang Sheng.

The skirt Jiang Sheng was wearing was light in color, and it was really not suitable for strolling. Just for a while, the tail of the skirt, which was long enough to cover the embroidered shoes, was stained with many conspicuous and unknown dirt.

But it's none of her business, anyway, she doesn't want to wash it.

Mei Xiaomian didn't dissuade her, and bounced back home looking for water to drink.

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment, then went to the side of the tree and found a stone at hand and began to dig the soil.

Maybe it was her luck, or maybe it wasn't buried deep enough, and the copper-yellow metal popped out after a while.

Jiang Sheng immediately began to pick it up, and with half a stick of incense, a key with a slightly darker color stood impressively in her palm.

She hastily cleaned the dirt off the key, went to the door and inserted the key into the triple-latch lock and turned it, and the lock opened with a click.

Jiang Sheng's expression was beaming, but the next second, she froze.

In front of him was a narrow corridor, and at the diagonal corner, there was a lock!

There is no accumulation of debris in the corridor, and it is so small and clean that you can scan everything at a glance.

Jiang Sheng: ...

Fortunately, she has begun to be complacent about her intelligence.

She tried putting the key in her hand into the second lock, but it wouldn't work, and she stomped on each brick, but couldn't make a difference.

She was not interested in continuing to solve the puzzle, so she turned her head and re-locked the door to ask for the answer.

Zhuji Village is neither big nor small, but it is enough for unfamiliar people to get lost.

Jiang Sheng touched his chin.

From which road did Mei Xiaomian bring her here?

As she walked further and further away, this side should be the foot of the mountain, surrounded by trees, and no one lived there.

Realizing that I must have gone the wrong way, when I was about to turn back the same way, a few figures appeared on the sidewalk, and they became more and more conspicuous with the distance.

Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up, he jumped up and waved: "Sister!"

Although she took the wrong path, her goal has been achieved.

Jiang Xian's footsteps were quicker unconsciously, and after a while, he got rid of the people behind and came to Jiang Sheng: "Why are you here?"

Just now, Jiang Sheng was asked to return to Lizheng's house within an hour to wait for him.

Jiang Sheng looked around and asked innocently, "Where is this place?"

"It can be regarded as the junction of the two villages. It takes about three quarters of an hour to walk to the road at the foot of the mountain, and you can reach Dashe Village."

While talking, Li Zheng was waiting for someone to come in front of the two of them.

Li Zheng took a look at Jiang Sheng, and said to Jiang Xian: "I'm going to the town for the next market, and I just happened to send it to you."

Jiang Xian didn't object: "Thank you."

"I won't say any more polite words, see you then."

After agreeing on the time and place, Li Zheng left with the men behind, leaving only Jiang Xian and Jiang Sheng at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Sheng pulled Jiang Xian up: "Sister, let's go to your house."

"That house in Zhuji Village?" Jiang Xian paused for a moment, "You went the wrong way."

Full of confidence, Jiang Sheng touched the tip of his nose.

She clearly came from this direction just now, that's right.

She went back as if nothing had happened.

When he arrived at the destination, Jiang Sheng opened the door as if by magic, and lifted his chin slightly triumphantly.

"Ask me, ask me how I know" is written all over her face.

Jiang Xian ignored the refurbished soil under the tree when he came over just now, and was very cooperative: "How did you find the key?"

Jiang Sheng was even happier: "I guess you will definitely not take the key here with you, and you will probably put it somewhere. The soil at the bottom of the tree over there is a little raised, so I tried to find it."

"But there's still a door inside."

As she spoke, she entered the corridor and fiddled with the door lock inside.

The lock is a wide lock, and the hollow pattern on it is intricately and meticulously carved, and it may be because the rain cannot soak in the eaves, so it is much newer than the one outside, and it looks very beautiful.

Jiang Sheng turned his head, looking for an answer: "So where is the key to this door?"

Jiang Sheng was still habitually turning the door key dug out of the soil in his hand. The dark copper-yellow metal was dangling in mid-air, as if it would fall to the ground in the next second.

Jiang Xian raised his index finger and hooked the key into his hand, and pressed the right side hard, and the metal pieces of moderate thickness popped out from both sides.

She disassembled and reinstalled the pop-up metal piece, and handed the key to Jiang Sheng again: "Open it."

Jiang Sheng was curious and fiddled with it for a while before opening the lock.

It is a very clean small yard, covered with blue bricks, and there are a few flower pots in the corner, but no flowers are planted.

When you walk in, the kitchen is on the left, but it doesn't look like it's been used.After entering the kitchen, there is a door to the right, which can be easily pushed open, through the extremely narrow aisle in the middle where sundries are piled up, and the light-colored curtain is lifted, which is the study room.

There are no books on the two shelves in the study room, only a stack of papers and two beautiful porcelain vases, and there are still a few pens hanging on the pen holder on the table.

The bedroom and the study are connected together, separated by a six-sided painting screen.

Each compartment is very small, but perhaps because there are not a lot of random things piled up, it looks very tidy-even the utility room has nothing but a few small jars.

It's just that it has been uninhabited for a long time, and everything is covered with a thin layer of dust, including the bedding for sleeping, so of course it cannot be lived.

Jiang Sheng was in the mood to find traces that his sister had lived here for a while, wandering around in several cubicles, and was urged to return to Linyi before dark.
