Chapter 19: Conspiracy Begins

After breakfast, Old Lady Luo went to the village office and made a phone call. The person on the other side didn’t answer immediately. They had an agreement: every time Old Lady Luo called, she would be the first to speak. “Hello, Ah Ming, when will the factory manager and his family arrive? It’s been several days, and I haven’t seen anyone come. If they don’t hurry up, that little girl will find out. And she seems to suspect me. Last night, she even went to my bedside and scared me. I almost died of fright.” Duan Ming’s face flashed with murderous intent.

No one could ruin his current life. It seemed that the little girl couldn’t be kept. After things were settled, he would just find her a man to have an affair with, and then call the factory manager’s family over to catch them in the act. He knew the factory manager’s personality. If something like that happened, he wouldn’t keep her. “Don’t worry. I won’t let her live for more than two months. Go out and find someone to buy that kind of medicine. Don’t buy sleeping pills anymore.

 Buy her a medicine that makes her unable to stop. The factory manager will arrive today at the latest, tomorrow. You hurry up and prepare the medicine.” Old Lady Luo had already bought sleeping pills as he had previously instructed. But now she needed to change to that kind of medicine, and the supply and marketing cooperative didn’t sell it. She could only go to the black market and find someone to buy it. After finishing, Duan Ming hung up the phone immediately. Since they had been in contact, he had never called Old Lady Luo “mother” because he didn’t want to admit it from the bottom of his heart. He always thought that the elegant woman at home was his mother. But fate played a joke on him.

Old Lady Luo felt a little disappointed, but she didn’t blame her son. If she had to blame someone, it was that woman. If that woman hadn’t snatched the man she liked, her son wouldn’t have looked down on her, and she wouldn’t have married Old Man Luo and lived this kind of life facing the loess and turning her back to the sky. She could have been a rich wife! There wasn’t much time to think. After returning home, Old Lady Luo changed into a set of old clothes, put on a straw hat, and hurriedly took a bullock cart to town. Luo Xingci didn’t know anything about this.

At this moment, she was practicing martial arts with the wild man. The wild man was actually quite skilled. He was agile, fast, and could shoot arrows with great accuracy. Whenever Luo Xingci’s archery posture was incorrect, the wild man would demonstrate it again or gently hit her hands and feet with a branch until her posture was correct. These skills were actually taught to him by the parents of the two wolves. Whenever he did something wrong, the mother and father wolves would bump his butt with their mouths. After being taught by the wild man, Luo Xingci’s archery skills had improved a lot. When they weren’t busy, they would spar.

 Maybe it was because the wild man had drunk the spiritual spring water, he had become much stronger, and his fighting skills were getting better and better. Luo Xingci could only suffer losses when sparring with him. When they were tired, they would sit together and rest, while the two wolves went hunting. Luo Xingci was roasting wild chicken and sighed, “I should give you a name.” The wild man’s eyes lit up and he nodded. “Okay, you tell me.” He could already speak now. When Luo Xingci wasn’t around, he would read the books she left behind. He also liked reading and sometimes forgot to eat. But he learned a lot from the books. He realized that there were many places in the world besides the forest. Luo Xingci thought for a moment and then smiled.

“How about Luo Jinchuan?” She didn’t know why she suddenly thought of this name, but she felt it was very suitable for him. As for why he had the same surname as her, maybe it was because they were both in the same boat. They were both people who weren’t loved by their families! Luo Jinchuan nodded vigorously. He liked the name. The two wolves were also excitedly jumping around Luo Xingci, their eyes constantly staring at her, as if they were saying, “Give us names too.” Since she became familiar with Luo Jinchuan, Luo Xingci was no longer afraid of the two wolves. Instead, she found them cute, like big white dogs. “You’re called Big White and Little White. Whoever is bigger is Big White.

” The two wolves didn’t want to be Little White, so they started fighting. It wasn’t a real fight, but a playful scuffle. But Luo Xingci would distinguish Big White and Little White based on their weight. The heavier one was Big White. After the chicken was roasted, Luo Xingci broke off a chicken leg for Luo Jinchuan. “Go back and cut your hair short. Also, clean yourself up and wash yourself. I’ll give you some clothes later.” After finishing the roasted chicken, Luo Xingci took out a few sets of men’s clothes from her space, left him a pair of scissors and some food, and then went down the mountain.

She hadn’t been back for a day. Old Lady Luo must miss her, right? She had to go back and see. At this moment, the Old Lady Luo she was thinking about had already arrived in town. Then, she went to the black market as if she knew the way. When she got to the black market, she found a man selling medicine and whispered to him. “Do you have that kind of medicine? The kind that makes a woman unable to stop after taking it?” Old Lady Luo wasn’t afraid at all.

 On the contrary, she was very excited. If things went this way and she forced the issue, she would get back all the money Luo Xingci spent from the factory manager. The man with shifty eyes understood immediately. He looked her up and down with a lascivious look and thought to himself, “I didn’t expect that she would be so wild at this age.” The man took out the medicine and gave it to her. Old Lady Luo paid and left immediately. She disguised herself well and no one recognized her. When she got home, it was already 3 pm. Seeing that no one was home, she took the medicine back to her room and put it away. Then, she went to the kitchen to eat something to fill her stomach. “He Tongzhi, what are you sneaking around eating?” The sudden voice startled Old Lady Luo so much that she dropped the things in her hand. “Ah!” Old Lady Luo’s face turned pale.

“Are you calling for your soul? What did you do wrong to be so scared?” Luo Xingci, who suddenly appeared, almost scared Old Lady Luo to death. Seeing that it was her, Old Lady Luo was so angry that she wanted to hit her with a brick. “You’re going to die! Don’t you know that scaring people can scare them to death?” Luo Xingci raised an eyebrow and smirked. “How do you know I scared a person? In my eyes, Grandma, you’ve never been a person. You’re scarier than a devil. I haven’t seen you all day. Where have you been fooling around? You’re so wild at such an old age. Aren’t you afraid of being played to death? I’ll set off fireworks.”

 “Enough. I’m your grandma. Even if you don’t like me, I’m your elder. How can you talk like that?” Old Lady Luo was so angry. She couldn’t argue with her, and she couldn’t beat her. She had to accommodate her these days, so she could only stew in her anger. ‘Slap!’ Luo Xingci slapped her for no reason and then left. “Tsk, you have such a thick face!” Old Lady Luo was dumbfounded. How did she get slapped? This little girl! Wait until tomorrow. She would make sure that everyone in the village would see how this little girl seduced men, and a fool at that!
