Chapter Fifty-Five: Self-Confidence

  But what made me desperate was that I crouched in the bushes here and waited carefully until it was almost dark, but I didn't see the figure of that man in black. As for those three jars, I didn't even see them.

  I was originally going to continue observing here, but unfortunately it got dark and I couldn't see anything. I reckon even if that black-clothed person walked right in front of me, I'd probably overlook them by accident. Plus, I'm really starving, feeling so hungry my whole body has no energy left, so I decided to head back temporarily for now.

  Although this tracking is considered a failure, at least I know that after Tan Nu was taken away by the witch, she was not transported to her house, but was brought here. This shows that there must be a hidden "mysterious land" here, and I will definitely take some time to explore this area thoroughly in the future.

  Besides, through Su Ping, I at least knew that there might be a deadly mechanism in the witch's house, which is also a major discovery.

  Mentioning Su Ping, I feel like I've reacquainted myself with her today. This woman makes me feel more and more that I shouldn't underestimate her, she's also a very mysterious and unpredictable existence.

  I originally thought she was just a nail that Witch Grandma had planted in the village, and she was just one of Witch Grandma's confidants. However, today I noticed that she didn't seem to be as loyal to Witch Grandma as I thought. If she were truly loyal to Witch Grandma, why would she sneak around and follow her, then take advantage of their absence to enter this house? She's clearly on guard against Witch Grandma!

  Moreover, she can enter and exit the witch's room smoothly, which is suspicious in itself. How did she manage to do so? Did she go in before?

  And also, that time by the small river, she was able to mysteriously disappear in the river and then inexplicably appear on the shore again. What's going on? How did she do it? Don't tell me she has some kind of magical power to cross rivers and hide underground, she's not Sun Wukong...

  With such a mysterious thing happening, I became more curious about the girl. No, it should be more attentive. I feel that she must also have many secrets on her body, and if necessary, I will pay attention to her carefully.

  By the way, what was it that she brought out from the witch's room? Honestly, I'm really curious...

  When I carefully retreated from the back of the old witch's house, under the roots of the mountain, it was already completely dark. If there wasn't a sliver of moon hanging on the horizon and the scattered lights in the village, I reckon I wouldn't have been able to see the direction back to the village.

  After I returned to the village, I was preparing to go to Han Feiyan's home. Since that foolish boy died, I was certain that there shouldn't be any annoying people at Han Feiyan's house. However, just as I was about to head to Han Feiyan's place, I suddenly remembered Tingting.

  It's known that Tingting just sent away the "treasure" in her own home, she must be very sad and heartbroken now. I think I should go see her.

  Thinking of this, I changed my mind and went to Tingting's home. When I arrived at Tingting's home, I saw that silly girl sitting alone on a chair drinking wine.

  Ting Ting was drinking a wine that seemed to be brewed by the women in their village, a kind of mountain fruit wine. This wine didn't taste like much at first, but it had a strong aftertaste. At this moment, I saw Ting Ting's small face turn red, and surprisingly, I found her having a few points of enchanting charm.

  "Hey, little fart, why are you drinking alone?" I asked her directly as I saw her drinking.

  "If I'm in a bad mood, then...then let's just drink!" Tingting's tongue was a bit tied up and her words weren't very articulate.

  "Alright, I know you're not in a good mood today. Just have a couple of sips and that's it, too much wine is bad for your health. By the way, I haven't eaten all day, can I just finish this whole dish?" I said with a smile to her.

  Although I was hungry and wanted to go home, when I saw her drinking, I didn't know what to talk about with her. So I directly asked her to get me something to eat, which also served as a conversation starter.

  "Get out! Don't you know I'm busy?! Who has the time to entertain you?! You're not welcome, get out! Get out of here! Scram! You stinky man!!!" Tingting suddenly yelled at me loudly, her voice startling me. I knew I had to leave, if the other women from outside the village heard this and came to see what was going on, Tingting would just use her drunkenness as an excuse to cause more trouble.

  "What the hell! What's with this huge temper? I was going to comfort you, but now that you're like this, can't I just leave?! Look at you, yelling at me like a shrew! I don't think there's anything good to talk about with someone who's acting like a drunkard, especially a female drunkard..."

  After I walked out of Tingting's house, I had no choice but to return to Han Feiyan's home. When I arrived at Han Feiyan's house unnoticed, I saw that her home was filled with mist, and in a wooden bucket in the center of the room, Han Feiyan was naked, seemingly taking a hot bath inside.

  As I saw this scene, my old face turned red, and I was about to quietly leave. But just as I was about to leave, Han Feiyan spoke up.

  "You've come all this way, why leave now?"

  "Damn it! I didn't come at the right time, wait till you're done washing and I'll come in again, you take your time!" I replied awkwardly.

  "Stop messing around with useless things, we've done everything before. Are you afraid of losing me now? What's going on? Do you want to cut ties with me so quickly?" Han Feiyan was smiling at me while stirring the water in the bucket, looking like she was teasing me.

  Han Feiyan said that, I don't know what to say in my defense, so I just kept silent. Actually, I didn't want to sever ties with her, it's just that when I think of Han Jingjing, the past between us makes me feel... especially... anyway, this is hard to put into words...

  Seeing me not speaking, Han Feiyan replied to me: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. This isn't a bath, I'm soaking in medicinal water now. Actually, several hours ago, the witch brought that man to find me, and I was beaten up by that powerful and intimidating big guy, leaving me covered in bruises all over my body, almost scattering my bones apart. That's why I put some of that medicinal water you used to wipe your body with earlier into the wooden barrel to nurse the wounds on my body."

  As soon as I heard Han Feiyan say that, I immediately turned my head and looked at her seriously. It was only then that I discovered Han Feiyan's cheek was obviously somewhat swollen and red, and there were obvious bloodstains on the left corner of her mouth. Her body also had more or less some wounds. Especially on her neck, there was a purple bruise that was slightly blackish in color, which looked like it should be from being pinched.

  "What's the old witch bringing her husband here for? How did she torture you to this extent?" I asked, frowning.

  "I told you before, didn't I? That stupid woman's house, because of my special relationship with her, I said I would be implicated. As a result, the moment she returned on the first day, after sending away the servant, she immediately came to me to settle the score. However, although she scolded me severely, I'm confident that she still can't take my life, and I'm sure that no matter how outrageous things I do, she won't let me die in a short period of time, and must keep me alive. Do you know why? " Han Feiyan said this to me while completely ignoring my presence, standing up naked from the wooden barrel in front of me, and starting to wipe her body with a towel.

  She suddenly did this in front of me, and I was a bit stunned for a moment.

  "What's inside you that makes you so confident that old witch won't be able to do anything to you?" I asked her, not daring to look at her body and instead turning my face away.

  Seeing me ask this, Han Feiyan smiled and said: "Because the witch values you, so she won't let me die. If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't have let that silly boy try to break into the witch's room and find trouble for myself..."

  Yesterday, a reader chatted with me on QQ for a long time, saying that his place was affected by the disaster, his home was destroyed, and it was very heartbreaking to hear. Natural disasters are really frustrating! All I can do is wish those affected a speedy recovery! Pray for the people affected by the disaster!
