Chapter 154 Slander
Not to mention the location of Jiang Anning's house, which is in the back of the village, a very remote place with few families nearby.

Simply put, the location of their village is very remote, and the few main roads passing by are not very close to them. If you want to get to their village, you have to take a long detour before you can get there.

Who would go so far to ask for water?
Not to mention that their village can't be seen from the main road outside.

Not to mention Aunt Fang and Sui Ran were puzzled, even Jiang An Ning felt strange.

It was just that he felt vaguely that the man looked familiar, and his heart softened, so he agreed.

She took a bowl of water, opened the door again and handed it to the man.

Wang Shang did not act pretentiously. He drank the entire bowl of water in big gulps, as if he was really thirsty.

"Thank you, young lady."

As he said this, he retracted his hand that was about to hand the bowl back.

Jiang Anning was slightly stunned as she watched the bowl that was about to be in her hand move away from her again.

"Men and women should not touch each other, and I am a stranger passing by. The young lady is kind-hearted and willing to give me a drink of water to help me out of my urgent need. I cannot repay the young lady with evil for her kindness."

Wang Shang said righteously: "I have used this bowl now, and I think you will not use it again. In order to avoid loss to you, I think you should sell this bowl to me."

? ? ? ? ?

Jiang Anning looked at the man with a bewildered expression.

It took a while before he found his voice again: "Sir, there is no need to do this..."

It's just a bowl. Besides, it's not impossible to clean it.

This has nothing to do with the fact that men and women shouldn't touch each other.

This person thinks too much.

She reached out to take the bowl back, but Wang Shang moved further away.

"Young lady, please sell this bowl to me, otherwise I will feel really bad."

Wang Shang was firm in his attitude and his tone was very unnegotiable.

Jiang Anning:...

She suddenly remembered some folk legends about borrowing luck or life.

Could this man be thinking the same thing?

I have never heard of buying a bowl from someone's home, which can buy someone's life...

Or maybe by buying this bowl, you can buy the wealth and fortune of this family.

Is this some new way of saying it?

Otherwise, this man's behavior would be too strange.

It is really hard to understand why he is like this.

Why come here for no reason just to buy a bowl?

Oh, no, he spit.

I seem to have heard that borrowing water is equivalent to borrowing wealth.

Could it be that this man came to her house to borrow her fortune?

Jiang Anning was somewhat speechless at his own thought.

This man must be really desperate to come to such a remote place to ask a country girl like her for money...

It can't be that she has some magical fate.

Jiang Anning was so distracted by his random thoughts that he ended up making himself laugh.

"Although I don't know why you insist on buying this bowl from me, but since you have made this request and feel that if I don't let you take this bowl away, you will feel guilty and uneasy, then I really can't be a bad person."

Hearing her say this, Wang Shang thought she was going to agree, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Anning changed the subject, rushed forward, snatched the bowl of water from his hand, and decisively threw the bowl onto a large rock beside him.

The clean white porcelain bowl shattered into pieces in an instant, making crackling sounds.

Aunt Fang and Sui Ran, who were in the yard, heard the noise and ran out quickly.

Jiang An Ning looked at Wang Shang calmly: "This way, you don't have to worry about the intimacy between men and women, or if you have any disease, you don't have to worry about infecting me through this bowl, and then feel guilty."

"Sir, do you feel okay?"

Wang Shang stared blankly at the broken white porcelain bowl, unable to recover for a moment.

Was the bowl in his hand just now?
Was Jiang Anning very far away from him just now?

There might even be stairs where she was just now, right?
How did she trick herself into rushing in front of him and snatching the bowl from his hand?

He is the best fighter in the palace, right?

Having been a killer for so many years and killed so many people, no one has ever been able to get close to him without his permission.

Even looking at the entire martial arts world, there are few people who can be his match.

Even though he was tired of the fighting and killing and the days of living on the edge of a knife all day long, he stayed in Jiang'an County, enjoying a comfortable and enjoyable life, and was reluctant to return to the capital.

However, he never slacked off in his martial arts training and kept improving his skills.

What I’m afraid of is that there will always be people better than you.

If he gets lazy, he might be killed by a genius killer who appears out of nowhere one day.

Just like him, ruthlessly reaping other people's lives.

He clearly felt that he had become stronger.

How come Jiang Anning, a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken, was able to approach him so easily and snatch the bowl from his hand?
If just now, Jiang An Ning had taken away not the bowl in his hand, but his life...

Does he have time to fight back or dodge?

Wang Shang was confused.

He thought about it over and over again, but he really couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Anning...

When did she grow up to be someone he didn't even recognize?

Has he overlooked something in the past eight years?
Who was behind this, secretly making moves and concealing it from him and Jiang Wei... It was even possible that there were other forces and spies that he didn't know about, secretly cultivating Jiang Anning?
Or maybe Jiang Anning was not who he thought she was...

Could it be that she has been very good at disguising herself since she was a child and is a deep-minded person, and they were all deceived?
Does Jiang Wei know?
That person, does he know?
In a flash, Wang Shang thought of many possibilities.

"I took the liberty."

He suppressed his panic and confusion, and apologized to the others with great apology: "If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a dozen silver bills from his sleeve pocket and stuffed them into the man's hand without giving the man time to react.

Then he bowed and said hurriedly: "These are my compensation to you. I hope you will not be upset by my abruptness."

After saying that, he left in a hurry without looking back.

"Eh?"

Jiang An Ning called out to him to return the banknotes, but the man didn't seem to run or jump, but in the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters away, turned behind a straw stack, and then disappeared. ??????
Jiang Anning was stunned.

Even Aunt Fang and Sui Ran, who heard the noise and ran out in a hurry, were shocked.

"This……"

I'm afraid we've encountered some mountain elf monster?
How could a normal person be able to so quickly fly so far away and disappear in the blink of an eye?
"An Ning, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Anning looked down at the banknote in his hand, then looked at the place where Wang Shang had just disappeared, his expression confused.

"I do not know either."

Who knows what's going on with this man who appeared out of nowhere.

She told the person what had happened in general, including her suspicions and worries that someone might have learned some vicious tricks and wanted to borrow her life or luck.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly: "…It's not that I'm superstitious, it's just that this man's appearance was too strange and bizarre."

No matter who you are, if you suddenly encounter such a thing, you will feel a little nervous, right?
"You're right to be cautious!"

Aunt Fang said with a straight face, "This man's appearance is indeed too bizarre, and his behavior is really weird. Look at how he looked when he left just now. How can he be a normal person? Who knows what kind of thing he is!"

"Aunt Fang is right!"

Sui Ran was also standing nearby, and said with a serious face: "I've heard of what you said before. It is said that someone would go to a stranger's house and ask to borrow a bowl of water. Once you give him the bowl of water, you will borrow his fortune."

"It's even possible that you'll meet someone with great abilities, and even your life span will be borrowed from you."

"Although folk rumors cannot be trusted, they may not be able to stand up to scrutiny."

"But since the older generation passed down such words, there must be some truth to them."

"You should be more cautious."

Sui Ran looked at Jiang An Ning worriedly, and was very afraid of what might happen next: "For some things, it is better to believe it than not to believe it."

Jiang Anning nodded: "I think so too."

"If there is really nothing wrong, then everything will be fine."

"But if there is anything to be said, it is always better to be cautious."

"It also prevents you from accidentally falling into someone else's trap."

Aunt Fang and Sui Ran agreed with Jiang An Ning's words.

"only……"

Jiang Anning looked at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand with a headache: "What should I do with this money?"

Aunt Fang and Sui Ran looked at each other.

Neither of them had ever seen so much money in their lives.

However, they did not dare to touch this kind of money, as its origin was unknown, and they had no idea what its purpose was, or whether it contained any shady information.

I’m afraid that it will damage my blessings.

Aunt Fang thought about it and suggested, "I think, why don't we take this money to a temple or Taoist temple and donate it as incense money?"

"No matter whether there is any calculation or curse on this money, let's give this money to the Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Taoist Priest Tianzun. Even if there is any talk of borrowing lives or fortunes at that time, there are Buddhist and Taoist leaders to help offset it."

Sui Ran couldn't help nodding beside him: "I think what Aunt Fang said is feasible!"

"An Ning, what do you think?"

Jiang Anning felt that it was not a bad idea?
She thought for a moment and asked Auntie Xiang Fang, "Auntie, do you know where the nearest temple or Taoist temple is?"

Aunt Fang frowned and thought for a moment: "It seems... there is a temple for the goddess in Dongyao Town?"

After she finished speaking, she became a little uncertain: "Niangniang Temple, will it work?"

Jiang Anning didn't understand this either.

The two of them couldn't help but turn their eyes to Sui Ran again.

Sui Ran racked his brains and thought again and again, and finally said only one sentence: "The Niangniang Temple should be okay, right?"

"If it doesn't work, why don't we go to the Dragon King Temple?"

She couldn't think of anything else, like a temple or a Taoist temple.

The three people who didn't really believe in supernatural things were all a little stumped.

Jiang An Ning sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's go to the town tomorrow to ask around. If that doesn't work, we can go to the county to ask around. It's not possible that in such a big place like ours, we can't even find a temple or Taoist temple, right?"

Aunt Fang and Sui Ran listened and nodded: "It's feasible!"

Not far away, several women who had heard Aunt Xiurong's words hesitated for a long time before deciding to go back and talk about the matter with the men at home.

After hearing this, several men, led by Patriarch Jiang, became extremely angry and rushed to Jiang Anning's house angrily, wanting to find out what had happened.

As luck would have it, he saw Jiang An Ning holding a stack of silver bills in her hand and handing it to Aunt Fang.

In fact, Jiang An Ning only showed it to Aunt Fang and Sui Ran, asking them how to deal with these hot silver bills.

However, in the eyes of the men in the village from afar, it immediately seemed like Jiang An Ning was giving money to Aunt Fang and Sui Ran, lots and lots of money.

"unacceptable!"

Zhou Ran stood beside Chief Jiang and said indignantly, "Jiang An Ning is so rich, but he is reluctant to give us even two hundred taels of silver. He simply doesn't consider us as real relatives!"

"If you ask me, let alone two hundred taels, even if it's three hundred or four hundred taels, she can take it out. Why doesn't she take it?"

"We all live in the same village. She is a little too cruel. She has made a lot of money, but she only cares about her own good life and doesn't care about the lives of us uncles and elders at all."

"Chief, as the head of the clan, you have now replaced Jiang Wei as the village chief. You are the backbone of our entire village. You can't just ignore this matter!"

Zhou Ran said righteously, "Whatever we say today, we need Jiang Anning to give us an explanation!"

Chief Jiang glared at the man fiercely and sneered, "Give me an explanation? What explanation do you want to give me?"

"Why should Jiang Anning give us an explanation?"

Zhou Ran was extremely shocked: "Patriarch?!"

How could this old man say such a thing?
Are you trying to have the best of both worlds and pretend to be a good guy here?
Zhou Ran's face darkened and he felt a surge of resentment in his heart.

Why are these people with the surname Jiang so ungrateful?
Just now there was a case of Jiang Genshan who stopped being obedient, and now even the old Dengxi, the head of the Jiang clan, is speaking in a sarcastic tone and not giving him face?

This is really unreasonable!

Zhou Ran secretly swore in his heart: When he becomes successful one day, he will teach these people a lesson!
Chief Jiang sneered, not noticing Zhou Ran's resentment: "You also said that this girl is cruel!"

"Since he is so cruel, he must have never considered whether we live or die."

He sighed deeply: "It's my fault that I didn't see how ruthless this little girl was at first. I thought she was soft and easy to deceive."

"I should have thought of this long ago. How could a vicious woman who could just send her fiancé and his entire family to jail be a soft-hearted person?"

Chief Jiang's eyes were cold: "Now it seems that we were all deceived by this damn girl from the beginning!"

"Perhaps, it was the Zhao family that suffered this sudden disaster because of the planning and calculations of this girl for many years!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "What are you talking about? Could it be that the Zhao family was killed innocently... This is impossible? An Ning doesn't look like a calculating and deep-minded person!"
