Chapter 133 He was imprisoned
Jiang Mianmian asked again, "Then why aren't you surprised at all that I can conjure things out of thin air, and this car too?"
"Huh? Is there something strange about this car?"
The man scratched his head. "Is there anything so strange about taking things out of thin air?"
"...Fine, but you're not allowed to tell anyone about me, and don't believe anything anyone else says."
Jiang Mianmian drove, saying, "Since you're with me, I'll provide you with food and lodging. You must obey me, otherwise I won't give you the antidote, and you can just wait to bleed to death."
With a combination of coaxing and intimidation, the man obediently nodded.
It seems she really has amnesia, which is why she finds all sorts of strange things normal.
The two quickly returned to the foot of the mountains, where Jiang Mianmian found a large open space and put away all the campsite's belongings.
Once I got on the bus, I remembered that the sickly person was still on board. People are really easy to forget!
Perhaps it was because he was too quiet? He just silently watched her from the car.
It felt strange, but not uncomfortable.
Jiang Mianmian didn't say anything. She changed to a bus and took him to the place where the people of Fengshui County were digging today. She put up a loudspeaker and announced, "The camp has been moved to the foot of the mountains. Please head west."
She set it to loop, went around in circles, and collected everything she could into her spatial storage. She found Magistrate Ye and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the new camp."
Not only Magistrate Ye, but also several battalion commanders and some elderly and weak people, returned to the new camp together.
After letting the captain and the elderly and infirm get off the bus, Jiang Mianmian made an appointment with them for a meeting the next morning to discuss the construction of the underground city, and then took the sickly man back to Yuanpei Village.
Upon arriving at the main gate, one could see that the original plaque had been removed and replaced with the words "Taoyuan" (Peach Blossom Spring).
Jiang Mianmian laughed, "It must be the character for 25. Let's go, we're home."
"Twenty-five?"
The sickly man followed her out of the car. "Why is your name Twenty-Five? What's your name, young lady? Can you give me a name?"
"Because that girl was the twenty-fifth young lady to come to the building. As for me, I am Jiang Mianmian, but you can call me Miss Mianmian, not Miss Jiang."
Jiang Mianmian had an idea. She was terrible at naming things, and this sickly guy was asking her to name him. She might as well just rank him along with Ling Xiaolou.
However, we need to see first whether Jiu Niang and the others would mind taking him in.
"Come with me to meet the person first."
Lin Hu was guarding in the gatehouse. When he saw her return, he opened the door and asked, "Miss Mianmian, what's this?"
"A poor little thing that nobody wants, is he at home?"
Lin Hu nodded, inwardly thinking, "Such a big guy, and this is considered small? Pitiful?"
He said, "Everything's here. The estate is almost all tidied up. We're just waiting for you to come back for dinner."
"Then let's lock the door. Come on, let's go eat. What delicious food does Grandma Niu cook?"
Before Lin Hu could answer, the aroma wafted out from the inner courtyard.
It's lamb skewers!
Jiang Mianmian asked in surprise, "Where did this sheep come from?"
"Ninth Sister went to visit Old Madam Ye, and the Old Madam gave her a housewarming gift."
Lin Hu exclaimed, "The old lady is so generous. She said you love mutton, so she specially slaughtered one and sent it over. There are other things too, all placed in your yard."
"Then I'll go first. Brother Lin Hu, could you please take him to wash up and change his clothes?"
Jiang Mianmian felt that she should discuss the matter of the sickly child with Jiu Niang in advance. If they were not happy, she would think of another way.
"it is good."
Lin Hu left with the sickly child, and Jiang Mianmian went into the backyard.
The yard has been covered with a fully automatic sunshade. Now that it's getting dark and not so hot anymore, it's not turned off, but left all the doors open, revealing the starry sky and bright moon.
Grandma Niu set up a grill and a baking rack in the middle of the yard.
Half a lamb is slowly roasting in the oven, its skin and meat sizzling and releasing a faint aroma of caramelization.
The grill was full of lamb skewers, and a group of people were gathered around the table next to it, skewering various vegetables, mushrooms, potatoes, cabbage, chives, as well as beef skewers, pork belly skewers, and various chicken, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, and chicken skin.
Jiu Niang was taking various drinks out of the ice bucket, grumbling, "I told you not to make them so cold, they'll give you stomach aches, you really don't listen."
As he spoke, he saw Jiang Mianmian entering the courtyard and immediately smiled, "Mianmian is back! Quickly drink some plum juice to cool off in the summer heat."
Jiang Mianmian took a glass of plum juice, drank more than half of it, and then carefully considered her words.
"Um, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Seeing her serious expression, everyone stopped joking around. "What happened?"
"Yeah, why are they so serious? It's terrifying."
Jiang Mianmian quickly forced a smile, "No, no, it's nothing serious. It's just that I brought a man back and I'd like him to live with me. I was wondering if you mind?"
Everyone: "!!!"
This isn't a big deal?!
The things in Jiu Niang's hands fell to the ground with a thud. "A man?! Living with you?! Are you crazy?!"
Twenty-Five cried, "Don't you want me anymore, Sister Mianmian? Why do you have to live with that stinky man?"
"..."
No, that's not what I meant! And what do you mean by "stinky man"? Who did this little girl learn that from?!
Jiang Mianmian picked up Twenty-Five and said, "How could I not want Twenty-Five? You've got it wrong. I kept him around to keep an eye on him, not what you're thinking, okay?"
The last sentence was addressed to everyone.
She told me about her encounter with the sickly man that day, "I feel that this person is really strange, and I can't tell whether he has real amnesia or is faking it, so it is safest to keep him by my side for the time being."
Having experienced a century-long mission, and possessing both a warehouse and a paradise, Jiang Mianmian knew that the world was not static. She was able to be reborn and change many aspects of her past life; perhaps others would also have extraordinary encounters.
Moreover, that sickly fellow was clearly targeting him.
If he doesn't have bad intentions, that's fine; but if he does, he must be nipped in the bud!
"Does keeping him by your side guarantee safety? You wouldn't even know he was following you. If he really wanted to kill you one day, you might not even have a chance to fight back!"
Seventh Sister's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Why don't we imprison him and see what else he can do!"
“But they haven’t done anything yet, so you’re just going to imprison them like that?” Jiu Niang disagreed, but she was also worried about letting Jiang Mianmian carry such a dangerous bomb around.
Everyone started discussing it animatedly.
Jiang Mianmian was completely baffled. "He probably doesn't mean me any harm, and even if he really wanted to do something, I could just ask the fairy for help, right? So the safest thing to do is to let him come with me."
"That makes sense, but can a fairy take care of you all the time?"
Just then, Lin Hu led the sickly man over.
The sickly man was wearing Yuan Pei's clothes, all made of fine materials, which made him look even more noble.
Everyone was stunned.
"Is this the sickly girl you were talking about?" Seventh Sister swallowed the rest of her sentence. How could she be so beautiful?
What did she just say? She actually said she wanted to imprison someone! Seriously, she deserves to die!
"Sister Mianmian, what's this handsome guy's name?"
Twenty-five's mouth was wide open.
Jiang Mianmian pursed her lips. "Twenty-six, how about this name?"
