Chapter 171
The clothes didn't seem to be deliberately worn to show pity, because the girl's hair was withered and yellow, and although her face had been washed, the rough and dark yellow skin caused by years of hard work and malnutrition could still be seen.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at her hands quietly, and saw that they had been doing rough work for a long time. Not only were the skin rough, but the knuckles were also thick.

This girl is probably not even older than Bai Ruozhu, but she is already like this, which makes Bai Ruozhu feel really sad.

"Oh Xiya, hurry up and call Sister Shengruozhu." Mrs. Wang pushed the girl who was called Xiya.

But the girl seemed to rarely go out, her expression was very nervous, and she was even timid and didn't dare to speak.Mrs. Wang stamped her feet angrily, as if she thought she couldn't hold herself up to the wall, but she could only smile apologetically at Bai Ruozhu and said, "Ruozhu, don't mind, this girl is just timid."

"It doesn't matter, let's go into the yard to talk." After Bai Ruozhu said this, she thanked the driver who brought her back, and then took Mrs. Wang and the others into the yard.

Bai Ruozhu looked at Mrs. Wang who was staring at her closely with a look of jealousy on her face, and thought to herself that it was a good thing that she had given the reward to the driver in advance, otherwise the reward would have been spread throughout the village by Mrs. Wang. , and her grandma must be making trouble again.

Seeing that Bai Ruozhu was back and brought guests, Lin Ping'er hurriedly greeted her and went to sit in the main room, and then poured tea for the two of them.Mrs. Wang is okay, she is an elder anyway, so she is not too polite. Fortunately, she is very uneasy. She can neither sit nor stand, let alone drink tea. She is afraid that she will dirty things in the Bai family. She is still Mrs. Wang. After scolding her a few times, she reluctantly sat down, but never dared to take a sip of tea.

Bai Ruozhu sympathized with this honest girl, but she couldn't help but sigh. Even if Mrs. Xie really wanted to choose a maid, she wouldn't choose Xi Ya, because this child is too timid.

Mrs. Wang was talking about how capable Xi Ya was, and there was another knock on the door at Bai's house. It was Fang Guizhi's mother's voice.

Bai Ruozhu stood up and went to open the door, but she almost shed tears because it was not only Guizhi's mother who came, but also Guizhi himself.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Fang Guizhi lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, and his hair turned yellow. Although it was not as serious as Xi Ya, it still made people feel sad.

What a beautiful girl, she was tortured like this by her own mother!

Bai Ruozhu suppressed her anger, with red eyes, she took Guizhi's hand and asked, "Isn't it because of the cold? Why does it look like a serious illness? Look at you, you've lost weight."

Guizhi Niang pushed her from behind, probably reminding her not to talk nonsense, but Bai Ruozhu looked in her eyes but pretended not to notice anything.

"It's nothing originally, it's just that it's a bit repetitive, which makes you worry." Fang Guizhi smiled bitterly, "My father is not in good health, so I'm worried too."

"That's it, let's stop talking at the door and go inside and sit down." Bai Ruozhu said, "It just so happened that Grandma Wang brought her grandniece over as a guest. Let's join in the fun together."

As soon as Mrs. Guizhi heard that Mrs. Wang had brought her grandniece, a cold light shone in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up and whispered with a smile on her face: "Ruozhu, you have to help us Guizhi."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and signaled her not to say more.

Seeing Guizhi Niang and Guizhi coming, Mrs. Wang was very surprised and asked, "Guizhi Niang, your family doesn't have many difficulties, right?" Guizhi Niang didn't want to say more to her, and said with a cold face: "Every family has its own merits. A difficult sutra to recite.”

Mrs. Wang became unhappy, as if Guizhi Niang was going to steal her business. Bai Ruozhu guessed that she helped sell Xiya and could get a commission from it.What's more, Xi Ya's home is far away, and who knows how much money she sold for. She can be greedy for a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu didn't want to see Mrs. Wang even more.

"How can you be poorer than my distant relative? You don't want to sell your daughter, right?" Mrs. Wang muttered in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself, but she deliberately told Guizhi Niang.

It's a pity that she misjudged the thickness of Guizhi Niang's face, and Guizhi Niang pretended not to hear it like nothing happened.

Bai Ruozhu didn't want to face the two of them anymore, but she didn't want Guizhi to be taken away by her mother, so she had to chat with the two families for a while.Guizhi was familiar with her, so it didn't matter, but Xiya was just sitting on the needle board, her body was so stiff that she didn't dare to move.And since she took one look at Guizhi, she lowered her head in shame.

“Mrs. Her family has gone back, and even if she is no longer willing to part with Guizhi, there will be more opportunities to get together after she rescues them.

After everyone left, Bai Ruozhu went to the kitchen, got some food for Xiao Si, and then gently told him: "Eat slowly, drink some soup, don't choke."

……

Jiang Yichun is a man of his word. He has arrived in Houshan Village at this moment, but he is very good at martial arts and good at hiding himself, so no one knows that he is in Houshan Village.He quickly found the target that Bai Ruozhu said - Bai Zehong, Sanlang of the Bai family.

At the moment, Sanlang was fooling around with some second-rate men in the village. I don't know where they got a chicken. They were roasting the chicken in the back mountain, and the chicken looked almost cooked.

Soon, several people started fighting over the chicken. No one noticed that there was someone hiding in the dark, and they had been quietly observing them for a long time.

Jiang Yichun picked up a pebble from the side. It was so small that most people wouldn't be able to spot it without looking carefully. He held it in his hand. After thinking about it for a while, he picked up another pebble and simply pinched both of them. On his hand, his wrist sank, as if using his internal strength, two stones shot out quickly, hitting one of Saburo's legs at once.

If this scene was seen by Bai Ruozhu, she would definitely shout that it was so powerful that it could even catch up with modern guns, and they were double-barreled!
Saburo was playing with his friends when he suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, then he covered his legs and screamed. The sound was like a slaughtered pig. There were echoes in the mountains, so for a moment it was all his. Screams echoed.

Saburo's friend originally thought he was joking, but after hearing such a miserable scream, he was frightened. He ran over and took a closer look. He saw that one of Saburo's lower legs had been deformed, and the bone was obviously broken!
"Why, why is this injury so severe?" Several people went to help Saburo, who was screaming, and then checked the area, but found nothing at all. Could it be that he fell so hard because he didn't stand firm?Isn't this too evil?

The ancients worshiped ghosts and gods. Immediately some people shouted that it was the mountain god who came, and some people said that the monster came to eat people. Several young people fled in all directions, leaving Saburo lying on the ground hugging his legs, shouting and crying.

Jiang Yichun glanced at Sanlang with disdain, and left the back mountain in a flash.
