The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad
Chapter 234: Meeting an Old Friend
Jiang Muxia followed Tianqing from a distance. Tianqing walked around the back hall twice with a lantern in his hand. He looked around in a secluded place and when he found that there was no one there, he turned around and went up the steps to the front hall.
Jiang Muxia's eyes showed doubt. What was she doing in the front hall? Could it be that the goddess's residence was in the front hall? How could this be possible?
Seeing that Tianqing was about to walk out of her sight, she quickened her pace and chased after him.
Tianqing walked to a small side door behind the front hall and disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Muxia ran two quick steps to the side hall. She pushed the door gently and found that it was locked.
Her heart moved slightly. It seemed that the goddess was indeed here. Such a secret place must be the dark room where she did her shameful deeds.
She had been to this hall when she was a child and still had some impression of it. In the center of the hall were enshrined the Four Heavenly Kings who were in charge of the weather and good harvests. The main hall was very large, with a side room on each side. She had never been inside to see it, but she only remembered that the elders took them, the children, to burn incense, kowtow, and then left directly.
Jiang Muxia stood at the side door, not knowing what to do. There was a door in front of the hall, which would be locked at a certain time, so she couldn't get in.
But there was no other entrance or exit here. Was she going to lose the chance to find the truth in vain? She was too unwilling to accept this.
She took out a knife from her bosom, inserted it into the crack of the door, and fiddled with it for a long time, but there was no progress. She pushed the tip of the knife inward, and suddenly there was a slight "clang" sound.
No wonder there was no movement after she fiddled with it for a long time. There was a copper lock on the door latch.
This discovery made her excited. The fact that they acted so meticulously further proved that this hall contained the secret she wanted.
She put her ear to the door and held her breath to listen for any movement inside, but to her great disappointment, she heard nothing.
There was no telling what was going on inside, so she didn't dare to alert the enemy rashly. After thinking for a moment, she turned back to the backyard and returned to Fukuko.
"How is it?" Fuzi asked her with her mouth.
Jiang Muxia also mouthed back, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
Fuzi raised her chin and motioned her to look at the place where the porridge was being cooked.
She found a comfortable place to sit, looked up, and saw a group of people punching and kicking a person in the light. The person being beaten held his head and made no sound.
Jiang Muxia turned his head back in confusion, his eyes seemed to be asking him what was going on?
Fuzi didn't answer and motioned for her to continue reading.
Sure enough, one of the maids who took action cursed out loud, "Bitch, don't think we are afraid of you just because you have climbed up to Tianqing. We want to kill you, it's like crushing an ant. I advise you to be quiet and do things with your tail between your legs, otherwise, I will take your life."
Jiang Muxia looked in the direction of the voice and found that the one who was cursing was the younger maid. At that moment, she had her hands on her hips, scowling and looking arrogant.
It seemed that they were not as united as she had imagined. After beating the person and venting her anger, the little maid waved her hands and all of them dispersed, going about their own business, leaving the beaten maid lying on the ground, motionless.
Under the light, Jiang Muxia finally saw her face clearly. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and was originally a pretty girl. But now she had no expression on her face, and her face was ashen. There was blood at the corner of her mouth. After everyone had left, she slowly got up from the ground, patted the dust off her body, straightened her clothes, and limped to the stove in the middle.
Jiang Muxia immediately became curious about her. What kind of woman was she to have such a strong character?
She felt that the girl looked very familiar, as if she had seen her before, but she couldn't remember where.
After watching the fun, the two did not leave.
They were still waiting for Tianqing to come back. From what she had said, they would add some ingredients to the porridge after it cooled down.
They knew that they were the eggs of the poisonous insect, so they wanted to see for themselves and find a way to destroy the porridge and make sure it did not enter the mouths of the people.
I waited for more than half an hour. The clothes I had just changed before going out were now completely wet. They stuck to my body like thick armor, making me even hotter and stickier.
Tianqing finally came back, holding a sealed black box in her hand. She walked straight to the middle stove, handed the box to the beaten maid, and ordered sternly: "There are six boxes in it. Sprinkle the contents into the porridge and stir it evenly."
She yelled at the other maids, "All of you, retreat. From 5:00 a.m. tomorrow, we will target Yangdong Village."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
When she walked away, the slightly younger maid walked up to the beaten maid with her chin raised, raised her eyes, and sneered, "Oh, I thought you climbed up the social ladder. It turns out that people just treat you as a useful laborer. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful. Sisters, let's go, and let her stay here."
After walking a few steps away, he seemed to have forgotten something, turned around, raised his middle finger and lifted her chin, gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better keep an eye on the pot. If you let the porridge go bad like you did yesterday, I'll dig out your dog eyes."
After saying this, he left with a group of people.
The beaten maid was the only one left at the scene, standing there in a daze. A little light slowly rose in her eyes. She stared at the black box in her hand, with deep hatred in her eyes.
Jiang Muxia couldn't understand why she had such an expression?
Seeing her stunned, Fuzi reached out and poked her, "Sister, what should we do now?"
"Of course we can't let her put the insect eggs in there." Jiang Muxia stood up and walked towards the maid, and Fuzi jumped over and followed her.
The maid was surprised to see a stranger coming and was shocked, but to Jiang Muxia's surprise, she did not scream. Her expression just changed slightly and then returned to a calm look.
She reached out her hand, held the black box out in front of them, and said, "Are you here to look for it?"
It was Jiang Muxia who was surprised. She couldn't guess the maid's intention.
"Why give it to me? Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"What about punishment? What about death? I should have died a long time ago." The maid's expression was a little moved, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"Why do you want to help me?"
"Because I am a human being, I still..." She didn't say anything else, tears welled up in her eyes.
Her eyes were very beautiful, like a pool of autumn waves swaying in a deep pool, and she had a fresh and beautiful temperament. Her eyebrows were as white as smoke and green as black, which made her look like a fairy.
No wonder those maids bullied her, it was probably more out of jealousy towards her.
However, her eyes looked too much like someone else's. Jiang Muxia's eyes lit up, staring at her and asked, "What's your name, young lady?"
The maid didn't reply. She looked at her again and again, and after a while she spoke, "Are you from Xigang Village?"
Jiang Muxia's thoughts became more determined. Everyone searched for her for hundreds of times, but when they turned around, she was right next to them.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked with surprise. "Are you Sister Hong Xin?"
