Set Apart for Ten Years, By The Living And The Dead! (15)

In the morning, the Zhang Clan Town was as quiet as usual.

To put it in another way, one could describe it as 'deadly quiet.'

"Sister Ning! Sister Ning!"

Ning Huanxin felt like she heard Zhang Yan's voice through her sleepiness, and then there was a knock on her door.

Her head hurt. Ning Huanxin wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt heavy. Her head was hurting terribly, and her entire body felt uncomfortable.

"She has a fever. I'll bring her to the hospital."

It was Jiang Lixing's voice.

Right after that, Ning Huanxin felt someone carrying her entire body.

It was that faint scent again. It was indeed Jiang Lixing's smell.

While she was still in a daze, Jiang Lixing carried Ning Huanxin to the car and placed her at the backseat for rest. The car ride was bumpy all the way. When Ning Huanxin finally had some energy to open her eyes slowly, she immediately saw Jiang Lixing sitting in front, driving seriously.

"Jiang…"

Ning Huanxin's voice was hoarse. Her throat was dry as if it was on fire.

"Don't speak. Drink some water first. There's some next to you." When Jiang Lixing saw that Ning Huanxin was awake, he gently reminded her. Ning Huanxin felt around with her hand, and her hands landed on a bottle of mineral water. She quickly opened it and gulped it down. After a few mouthfuls, her throat instantly felt much better.

Since young, Ning Huanxin had a healthy physique. As far as she could remember, she had never fallen ill before. Even if she had ever gone to the hospital, it was because she got injured while practicing martial arts or… when she was beaten by her father, hehe.

It felt too uncomfortable to be sick. It was strange.

Ning Huanxin subconsciously looked out of the window, and to her surprise, she saw that river again…

"Stop!"

Ning Huanxin suddenly shouted. Jiang Lixing was shocked and immediately stepped onto the breaks. The car tires left long trails on the asphalt road.

The car finally came to a stop. Jiang Lixing looked at Ning Huanxin with a face of confusion. "What happened?"

"Why are we here again? Am I back in my dream again?"

Ning Huanxin spoke, while subconsciously pinching herself at the same time.

It hurts!

Is this not a dream?

At that moment, Jiang Lixing also looked out of the window, and his expression suddenly changed. "I remember that I was driving towards the county! How did I end up here!"

This was the same road that they had come with Zhang Yan yesterday. The river also was not very far from them.

"Do you see that?"

Ning Huanxin suddenly asked anxiously.

"See what? That river?" Jiang Lixing looked at her suspiciously. He felt that Ning Huanxin was not really in good shape at that moment, just like yesterday…

"Bam."

At that moment, Ning Huanxin had already hopped off the car and slammed the car door shut.

She saw it!

Countless villages gathered at the shores on both sides of the river!

These villagers were wearing black robes, and they all had respectful and sincere expressions.

They looked like they were performing some ritual. Right by the shore, there were two young girls seated next to each other. Their long hair reached their shoulders. Unlike the other villagers, these two young girls were wearing white robes.

It was them. Ning Huanxin could instantly recognize that those two young girls were the same who she had seen yesterday walking into the river.

However, they looked even more real now, and even more anxious and flustered.

There were so many people crowding around them, and the two young girls were tightly grabbing onto each other's hands.

And these two girls were…

This time, Ning Huanxin saw their faces.

The two of them surprisingly looked very similar, like a pair of sisters.

They looked very familiar.

Ning Huanxin subconsciously took a couple of steps forward. She felt that the girl's faces were very familiar. That was…

Auntie Zhang!

One of the girls was actually the owner of the Siheyuan, Auntie Zhang!
