Meng Yan subconsciously glanced at the old lady.

Fortunately, the old man was already asleep, and he was in a wheelchair and made an even breathing sound, plus Lao Hei's voice was already relatively low, so he should not have heard it.

However, Meng Yan still took two steps out, and then lowered his voice and asked him.

"How did you know that there is an old man named Zhang Sheng in Chiba Village?"

Lao Hei told the truth.

"I have accompanied Mr. Ji to get to know all the families in Chiba Village before, and one of them is an old man named Zhang Sheng, who impressed me deeply."

I see.

Meng Yan was just curious, after all, this was the territory of the Hai family, and she had to be careful, in case she was driven out by exposing the lie, it was very likely to attract Hai Rufeng's attention to herself.

She nodded, gathered her thoughts, and followed Hei to the side of the room.

The two gave the old man a little money, and the treatment was that he could temporarily rest in the side room for a night, Lao Hei gave up the only bed to Meng Yan, and he sat on the stool next to him and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Sleeping on the wooden bed and listening to the sound of rain outside, Meng Yan fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but a thunderclap suddenly woke her up.

Meng Yan glanced at Lao Hei next to him, he seemed to be still sleeping, thinking that it was not easy for him to sleep on a stool to rest, Meng Yan tiptoed out of the door and didn't wake him up.

Originally, he wanted to go outside to ask for a sip of water to drink, but after looking around in the living room and not finding a hot water kettle, Meng Yan had no choice but to give up.

It's just that when she was about to go back to her room, she suddenly heard a slight noise from the backyard, again and again, very regular.

She walked over curiously to look through the hazy moonlight, and vaguely saw that it was the old lady, who seemed to be digging these things in the backyard, she gradually opened her eyes that were still a little sleepy, but she was frightened by the things in the old man's hand and woke up instantly.

The golden handful......

It's clearly gold!

Meng Yan's head was completely sobered up in an instant, where did this old man dig up so much gold?

However, she was surprised, but accidentally touched the vegetable basket placed aside, and instantly fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Meng Yan was shocked, looked at the old man, and sure enough, he saw her fierce look.

"Grandma, I didn't mean to peek at it......

She subconsciously wanted to explain, but she didn't expect the old man's expression to suddenly become extremely hideous, and he shouted loudly at the neighbors.

"Don't sleep, catch the thief!"

Meng Yan was dumbfounded.

When did you become a thief?

It's just that at this time, she couldn't think about it so much, seeing that the old lady raised the broom on the side and rushed towards her, Meng Yan could only hold her stomach and quickly exit the backyard and run towards the front hall.

But she didn't want to wait for her to hurry to the room, and when she wanted to wake up Lao Hei, she found that the other person had disappeared.

"Don't run, I'll just say that you two brothers and sisters are not well-intentioned, that old man named Zhang Sheng is obviously a lonely old man, and he has no children and no daughters at all, where is the junior, what do you want to do? Are you trying to steal from us?"

Seeing that the old man was about to hit himself with a broom, Meng Yan hurriedly retreated to the side.

She opened her mouth to explain. qδ

"Grandma, you really misunderstood, we are not thieves, didn't we give you back the money? We just want to go up the mountain!"

However, the old man didn't listen to her defense at all, raised the broom in his hand and swung it at Meng Yan again.

Meng Yan could only flee again.

Although it was still raining outside, Meng Yan didn't even have time to take the umbrella, so she could only run out of the old man's house in a hurry, she anxiously searched for Lao Hei's whereabouts, but found nothing.

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, she came to the place where Lao Hei parked and patted the window vigorously, but saw that it didn't seem to be someone inside.

"Where the hell did he go?"

As soon as this doubt came out of his mind, Meng Yan vaguely saw that there were more people chasing after him.

She was so shocked that she didn't even have time to think about what was wrong, so she could only run straight to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain.

This place is sparsely populated, she ran all the way and didn't see anyone else, and she didn't dare to ask for help casually, but seeing that the people behind her were getting closer and closer, Meng Yan could only rely on her courage to run to the side of the road.

But I didn't expect that there was really a car passing by at this time.

Meng Yan was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand.

The pouring rain soaked her all over her body, and she couldn't even open her eyes for a while, but Meng Yan couldn't take care of it, but fortunately, the car slowly stopped in front of her, Meng Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly explained her intention to the rolled down window.

"Is it convenient to take a ride?" Just send me to the city, and I can pay for your journey."

Fortunately, she brought all her bags with her when she escaped in a hurry just now, and her phone and wallet were there.

Suddenly, she was keenly aware that a cold gaze fell on her face.
