17 Invitations
Xiao Nan's mind went blank.
He was stunned for a long time before deciding to go back. Because he really didn't have the courage to go any further.
Even if he looked back in the direction where the Xiao family's mansion was located, all he could see was pitch black, like a black hole that devoured people, and he didn't know if the magic of the mysterious back garden in the Xiao family's mansion was still there.
Everything is beyond human comprehension.
He struggled back with the rattan wheelchair by himself, the injury on his back was not yet healed, and the rain made him feel tormented every time he advanced, and when he finally reached the door of the inn he had set, he didn't know how many hours had passed, and he was trembling all over, and when he tried to push open the gate of the inn, he couldn't exert his strength, and his body slid down involuntarily.
When he fell to the ground, he didn't even feel much, and his consciousness was rapidly collapsing.
And just like that, he passed out at the door of the inn.
When he woke up, he was already lying in a hospital bed. Then there was a whole bunch of tedious things that gave him a headache, and it turned out that the innkeeper kindly sent him to the hospital. And after that, I don't know how Xiao Tianyou got the news, and he asked his newly recruited nanny to come over and pay Xiao Nan's medical expenses.
The new nanny even brought a message to Xiao Nan, saying that Xiao Tianyou asked him to come to him in person after he was discharged from the hospital.
Xiao Nan felt that his head was big when he heard this, Xiao Tianyou was not an easy person, and he couldn't imagine that he would have to face such a troublesome guy when he finally came back from time and space travel.
He was hospitalized for two days and then discharged, after all, it was a skin trauma and excessive fatigue, which was not a big problem. Excessive fatigue seems to be the sequelae of traveling through time and space, and when he wore it to the Republic of China, he also felt as if his whole body had been hollowed out.
During his hospitalization, the proprietress was extremely enthusiastic, delivering food every day, which made him embarrassed to stay in her hotel. This proprietress is obviously interested in Xiao Nan, she becomes familiar with herself as soon as she comes and goes, and she is especially able to nag, it turns out that her hotel is left by her deceased husband's family, she is just watching the store, and the income in the store is controlled by her in-laws, and she has to take two children, so she looks forward to Xiao Nan being able to take herself out of this urban village.
Of course, thanks to her, Xiao Nan learned about some more things in the town, such as Xiao Tianyou's family is the richest man in the town, and at the same time, they are also the local snakes, and no one dares to mess with their family.
There is also the day he was admitted to the hospital, there was a woman in the town who jumped into the river inexplicably and died, it is said that it was an emotional dispute, this woman worked as a nanny in Xiao Tianyou's house, and the proprietress said that the death was unknown, but no one dared to ask.
Her instincts were right, of course Xiao Nan knew that the nanny had died strangely.
This made him feel even more whether he really wanted to see Xiao Tianyou. It stands to reason that he should get out of here as far away as possible.
But can you really get out of this place?
When Xiao Nan came back to clean up his things, the proprietress said that someone came to look for him, and looking down from the window, it was two strange men, who should have been recruited by Xiao Tianyou.
Here, it seems that Xiao Tianyou's palm can't fly out.
Xiao Nan sighed, the clothes he brought back from the Republic of China era were stained with mud, and they had been cut open by the nurse in order to treat his injuries and thrown away, but the rattan wheelchair was brought back by the proprietress, probably thinking that the workmanship was more exquisite.
As for the gift to Wanyue, I don't know where to throw it away for a long time.
He didn't know what he was thinking about at the moment.
In general, when he thought of Xiao Tianyou, he felt inexplicably nervous.
Especially after he had a first-hand experience of the cruelty of the Xiao family.
He pulled out his spare phone and hesitated to call his only relative, his aunt, but when he thought of the couple who were eyeing his father's legacy, he suddenly felt that the so-called relatives were nothing more than that. He put down the phone.
Even in this modern future, he is still alone.
Probably because he was too withdrawn in the past, and he was not good at greeting people, he didn't even have a friend who he could turn to now. Of course, there are friends, but there are no who have the ability to get him out of here.
After Xiao Nan thought about it for a while, he finally put on his prosthetic leg honestly and went downstairs on crutches.
Those men even drove over, the road was not far, and it was only a few minutes away from Xiao Tianyou's house.
These few minutes of travel were enough to make Xiao Nan uneasy.
After all, he is also a mortal, and his enthusiasm for academics has now turned into all kinds of exhaustion.
He had to admit that he, like everyone else, was scared and afraid of trouble.
Anyone who has the same experience as him definitely doesn't want to return to the nightmare place of the Xiao family's mansion again, especially the scene of Ling Chi, which is still vivid when he closes his eyes.
But even if he returned to modern times, the descendants of the Xiao family still refused to let him go, how stupid he was at the beginning! I have to fight this horrible house!
The car finally stopped in front of Xiao Tianyou's house.
Xiao Nan took a deep breath and followed the few people who seemed to be bodyguards to get out of the car, they didn't enter the gate, but just made a gesture to invite him in.
