Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173
....
The sky was getting dark, so they walked all the way wet.
Surrounded by barren mountains, there was no sign of human life.
If they could not find a place to stay, they would have to spend the night in the open.
“I’m not afraid of the cold, but I can’t let you suffer, Jiu Zhu.”
Sikong Wuyuan lowered his head slightly, his face full of worry.
Yuan Hehe stood at the side with a helpless expression. “That’s right. We can’t let him catch a cold.” He chimed in.
He was able to handle the cold since it was a demon after all. However, Jiang Ming was a human, so he would not feel uncomfortable at all.
Jiang Ming looked at his two companions with a smile. He felt warm inside.
They cared about him the most.
“Let’s hurry up. Perhaps there will be a place where we can seek shelter.”
After he finished speaking, the three of them continued to walk forward. The three of them walked very quickly.
Soon, they discovered that there was a house not far ahead.
There was actually a house in this remote village?
The three of them looked at each other and decided to go forward to take a look.
When they arrived, Jiang Ming raised his hand and knocked on the red-painted wooden door. No one answered after a few knocks.
“Could it be that this is an empty house?” Sikong Wuyuan asked.
He pushed the door, and it creaked open.
The first thing he saw was a courtyard. It was empty and there were many fallen leaves.
“It looks like an empty house!”
Yuan Hehe smiled happily.
Jiang Ming thought so too. He continued to walk in. There were two rooms in total, so he entered one randomly to take a look.
In the end, the moment he entered, he saw an incredible scene.
They saw a woman putting on her clothes with her back facing the three of them. Her skin was soft, smooth, and fragile.
Just as the three of them were in a daze, they heard a voice behind them.
This voice was like a lion’s roar, scaring the three of them so much that they immediately turned around. The young girl was also so scared that she put on her clothes randomly and covered herself up.
The three of them looked over and saw a white-haired but energetic old woman in front of them. She looked at the three of them very seriously, especially Jiang Ming. Her eyes sized up Jiang Ming from head to toe.
“You shameless people, how dare you watch my daughter change clothes in broad daylight! How shameless!”
“No!” Sikong Wu Yuan hurriedly explained. “We absolutely didn’t mean to offend you! We just saw that there didn’t seem to be anyone in this house, so we came in!”
He was panicking. Why did they have to encounter such a thing?
They were really unlucky.
The old woman was angry when she heard that. She shouted even louder. “Did you think we were dead?”
Yuan Hehe was so frightened by her fierce look that he hid behind Jiang Ming. This woman was really scary when she was angry. He did not dare to provoke her at all.
Jiang Ming also quickly explained, “Ma’am, please don’t be angry. We were really just passing by and wanted to find a place to stay. No one answered the door just now, so we came in. We are now apologizing to you and this lady.”
Jiang Ming bent down and lowered his head. Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe also lowered their heads when they saw him.
The old woman stared at Jiang Ming and asked, “Where are you from?”
It had to be said that this young man was quite handsome and was completely worthy of the young lady.
Jiang Ming stood up. “I’m Jiu Zhu. This is Sikong Wuyuan. This is Yuan Hehe. May I know your name?”
The old lady nodded. She only glanced at Yuan Hehe before turning her gaze back to Jiang Ming. “Her name is Tang Xiaoxiao.”
“I’m really sorry. This was really unintentional.” Jiang Ming turned to Tang Xiaoxiao.
“It’s alright. It’s over now,” Tang Xiaoxiao said to Jiang Ming.
She looked up and realized that her mother was winking at her. She could not help but be stunned.
What did her mother mean?
The old woman coughed twice.
Why was her daughter still so oblivious? Did she not understand such a hint?
She had already reminded her so many times, but why was there no reaction from her at all?
Jiang Ming straightened his body, somewhat at a loss.
What was going on?
Could it be that he still had to be responsible for Tang Xiaoxiao?
“Jiu Zhu, right?”
“Yes.
Jiang Ming was a little flustered when the old woman called him again. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
This old woman looked a little old-fashioned, and no one knew what she wanted to do.
As expected, the old woman said seriously, “Although our Xiaoxiao is not a devastatingly beautiful woman, she is still a pure and innocent virgin. I’m afraid it won’t be good for her to have been seen like this by you.”
Jiang Ming lowered his head slightly. When he heard this, he could not help but frown, but he did not dare to look directly at the old woman and Tang Xiaoxiao.
He had indeed done something wrong. He admitted this.
The old woman continued, “This bald man is a monk. That won’t do. He’ll break the rules of his monastery. This child is too young. Naturally, he can’t be chosen. You’re the only one left.”
She stared at Jiang Ming.
“Huh?”
Jiang Ming was shocked.
She was a little panicked, but the old woman seemed to be a little proud. She immediately widened her eyes. “If you do something wrong, you naturally have to pay the price. You have to give us some silver.”
“How much?”
Sikong Wuyuan frowned and asked. The old woman reached out her hand, and the three of them pursed their lips. Jiang Ming did not know what to say.
“Are you trying to scam us? We all apologized! As a mother, how can you do this!”
Yuan Hehe stopped pretending and shouted repeatedly.
“You’re not paying? What are you guys thinking? How can you be so immoral?”
The old woman was also unwilling to let it go, but she said, “It’s fine if you don’t pay! But then you have to marry my daughter!”
Jiang Ming understood what was going on.
“You’re forcing him! Who would force someone to marry their own daughter?” Sikong Wuyuan also started to shout.
“What?” the old woman asked. “You don’t even want to take responsibility? I see that all of you are well-dressed. Are you actually irresponsible lechers?”
This sentence silenced Sikong Wuyuan.
Jiang Ming was immediately put in a difficult position.
No matter what, this was not the case.
At this moment, a rough voice came from outside the door. I’m back!”
“You came back just in time!” the old woman said confidently. “Someone is bullying your sister! They want to escape!’
After saying this, Jiang Ming felt a murderous aura coming! It was not from the old woman, but from outside the door. It was getting closer and closer!
In the blink of an eye, someone had appeared!
“Who was it? Who bullied my sister!”
A large head appeared. He was tall and looked very strong.
“Did you bully my sister?”
“Nannan! They saw your sister changing her clothes and they’re not taking responsibility!
The old lady’s temper flared up. Tang Nannan was furious.
“What?! Come over here!”
As he spoke, he wanted to grab Sikong Wuyuan by the collar..
