The room was quiet, and the lights were turned off.
This time Ning Tao knocked directly on the door.
"You want more? My God, you are really the most perfect gift God has given me." Maria's voice came from the door, excited and happy.
The lights in the room came on, and then there was the sound of Maria walking in her slippers, a series of brisk little steps.
The door opened, Ning Tao walked in directly and closed the door.
Only then did Maria realize that it was Ning Tao. She was stunned for a moment, then jumped to the bedside and pulled the quilt in front of her. She actually wears underwear, but Ning Tao is neither Jian Mi nor Hanks, and she is also shy and ugly.
Ning Tao got straight to the point: "Let me ask you, has a short, fat woman with a pockmarked face been here?"
He spoke English and was relatively fluent.
Maria hesitated for a moment, but said in blunt Chinese: "I have never seen such a woman."
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment: "You never spoke in Chinese before, how come you do it now?"
Maria avoided Ning Tao's eyes and said with a slight flicker: "Hanks is a Chinese expert, and I learned a little Chinese from him. I am a woman, and I have to keep some secrets, but don't get me wrong. No bad intentions, just self-protection.”
Ning Tao realized that she was pretending not to understand Chinese, so he wouldn't deliberately guard her when talking to people, and she could get some information quietly.
Now it seems that Aunt Jiang encouraged her son to sleep with her every day, and she was listening. Maybe she saw Jian Mi as young, handsome, honest and honest, and gradually became interested in her. When a woman wants a man, sometimes a look or an action can achieve her goal. How could Jian Mi, a young young man, withstand the temptation of a big horse like her
"The reason why I tell you this secret is..." Maria paused before saying, "I want to stay here, I don't want to go back."
This is the real reason.
Ning Tao's heart was full of confused feelings: "Do you love Jian Mi?"
Maria nodded with certainty: "Love, of course I love him. When I was with Hanks before, he often didn't come home, and I was very lonely. Now that we are together very simply, he is with me every day. They all accompanied me, and we went into the mountains to collect herbs. He taught me a lot. I like the simple and rustic flavor of him. I also like this place very much. I know what she wants. I can give birth to a son for Jian Mi.”
Ning Tao no longer knew what to say. Deep in the mountains and forests, there would be problems if a man and a woman were alone together. Now he regretted sending Maria, a widow, to Jian Mi's house. Wasn't that the same as screwing the screws? A nut on the rod
"Please understand me. I have thought about it. If I go back, what awaits me will not be a peaceful life, but a pursuit. The murderers who killed Hanks will not let me go. I can survive in this place. So... I won't go back," Maria said.
Ning Tao said: "You can stay here and live with Jian Mi, but you have to tell me where that place is and what I should do to find what Hanks left behind."
Maria said: "I have already prepared it for you."
She opened the mat and mattress on the bed, and then took out a small book from the hay that made the bed.
The book also had the words "workbook" printed on it, and she didn't know who gave it to her.
Ning Tao took the homework book and took a look at it.
The homework book reads something like this in English: Hanks and I met in Florence, Italy, when I was a student at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. He rented a house next to Baihua Church and paid the rent for ten years in one lump sum. The house was very old, with a fleur-de-lis sign on the door and the number 68. Only Hanks and I knew that place. We often have trysts in that place, and the things you want are placed on the rafters in that living room.
Ning Tao tore off the piece of paper and put it into his trouser pocket: "That's it, since you love Jian Mi and Jian Mi loves you, you can be together. However, if you cheat on Jian Mi, I I won’t let you go.”
Maria then said: "How could I lie to him? I love him. Hanks can't let me have a child, but Jianmi and I can have a child. I like children, and I also like this place. I will Always with him."
"I wish you happiness." Ning Tao turned and walked towards the door.
"Thank you." Maria said, "Do you want me to tell Jian Mi that you have been here?"
Ning Tao thought for a moment and said, "Tell him that I will come to pick up the medicinal materials in a while. If there is something urgent tonight, we won't meet him."
He originally planned to ask Jian Mi to go to Beidu to help Bai Jing this time, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation. But that's okay, Jian Mi has a wife again, and it's not bad to stay with his wife to help him collect medicines. He has a low education and an honest person, but he is not used to going to a place like Beidu.
"Good luck to you," Maria said.
Ning Tao opened the door and walked out, then closed the door. He awakens the smelling state of his nose and captures all the smells in the yard. He wanted to do this just now, but he really didn't want to capture certain smells, so he endured it.
There was no residual smell of Tang Zixian in the yard.
Ning Tao secretly asked: "Doesn't she know that Maria is here? Or, she knows but doesn't show up?"
He looked around. Under the stars and moon, the mountains and forests around the village were dark, and occasionally a roar of wild beasts could be heard. Tang Zixian might be spying on him in a dark corner using a telescope, or she might have left here long ago.
"Whatever, she is with an upright cultivator like Master Fakong, and she helped me kill Bai Sheng. This shows that she is not a bad person. I have a grudge against her, but I don't think someone like her will hurt her. And innocent. Even if she comes here and gets the information, I am already in Italy. No matter how fast she is, she can't get through to me." Thinking of this, Ning Tao didn't worry anymore and left Woyun Village. Walking up and down the cliff.
Back at Tianwai Clinic, it was already half past eleven. Ning Tao opened the door and walked out, and immediately saw Qing Zhui holding the child, and Jiang Hao walking towards the door.
"Why are you still not sleeping at this late hour?" Ning Tao greeted him.
Jiang Hao said: "Qing Zhui and I have decorated your room and come here to tell you to go home and sleep. You can't live in a clinic, right? There isn't even a bed in your clinic."
Ning Tao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go home. I just have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Hao gave Ning Tao a roll of his eyes: "If you continue to be so polite to me, I will..."
She didn't say anything about me, but from the look on her face, it seemed that she would say it if Qing Zhui wasn't around.
"Mom, hug." Hu Xiaoji stretched out her chubby hands, and her childish voice was like beads rolling on a jade plate, clear and pleasant.
Ning Tao stretched out his hand to hug Hu Xiaoji, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ji, please don't call me mom in the future, okay?"
"Okay, mom." Hu Xiaoji said. Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao couldn't help laughing.
Three people and one child walked down the alley, laughing all the way. If there was only one adult woman, most people who saw it would think it was a happy couple walking home with their child in their arms. But with an additional woman, the situation becomes a bit complicated and difficult to guess.
After returning to the rented courtyard, Ning Tao found out that his room was the main room, Jiang Hao lived in the right wing, and Qing Zhui and Bai Jing lived in the west wing. Yin Molan's room is in the back room. As for the roaring dog, it owns the gate of the courtyard.
Roaring Sky Dog didn't have any objection at all. Dogs were originally supposed to be the guardians of homes and homes. Before meeting Ning Tao, it was a poor stray dog, but now it has almost finished memorizing the English alphabet. Ning Tao is giving it a great blessing, what else can it be dissatisfied with
Jiang Hao and Qing Zhui tidied the room, replaced the sheets and bedding with new ones, and even prepared two sets of pajamas, slippers, and bath towels for Ning Tao. They were careful and thoughtful.
Ning Tao looked at his room and said with a smile: "It's good to have a woman at home."
Qing Zhui had a smile on his face.
Jiang Hao looked a little embarrassed.
Ning Tao saw it and was happy in his heart. In fact, as long as Jiang Hao and Qing Zhui don't quarrel or fight, and just stay together day and night, the barriers in her heart will probably melt away automatically as time goes by. At that time, he really ushered in a happy life.
There is an old saying that goes well, good things take a long time, but if you don’t work hard, where will the good come from
Later, Ning Tao called Bai Jing, Yin Molan, and even Roaring Sky Dog to his house. He got straight to the point and told the clues he got from Maria, as well as his plan.
"You're going to the United States and then Italy?" Jiang Hao's reaction was surprised.
Ning Tao nodded: "We have to go this time. At present, we have the contents of the elixir for two skulls. If I find that skull, we will have the contents of the elixir for three skulls. , if you refine the Ancestral Pill again, the effect may be even better."
"I agree, I'll go with you." Yin Molan can't wait. As long as it is related to Xunzu Dan, he will actively participate in it.
"I'll go too." Qing Zhui said.
Jiang Haoye said, "Then I'll go too."
Bai Jing said: "How can such a thing happen without me?" "
Ning Tao said: "I'll explore the route first. Once I've arranged the arrangements, I'll open a convenient door and take you to Florence, Italy."
Bai Jing said: "But the United States is the territory of Black Fire Company. How can we rest assured if you are alone? You should be very aware of the risks of this operation."
Ning Tao said: "Of course I know, but if I want to escape, no one can keep me. I don't know the situation over there yet. If we go there together, it will be easy to cause problems. Let's just decide, wait for me The arrangements have been made and I will pick you up later.”
Jiang Hao's eyes were full of worry: "Then why are you leaving?"
Ning Tao said: "Tomorrow morning, it happens to be night over there, making it easier to move around. Johanna and I have an appointment one day later."
Jiang Hao said: "Then I will get you a set of passports now, and you can take them with you in case you need them."
Ning Tao felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, "You are so attentive."
Bai Jing coughed: "Brother-in-law, why have I never seen you praise my sister like this? Also, I have done a lot of careful things for you, so why have you never praised me like this?"
Ning Tao: "..."
One sentence killed the topic.
