Chapter 57: Misunderstanding
After Jiang Qingwan entered the alley, she started running at a high speed. While running, she tried to make as many turns as possible in the hope of getting rid of the people behind her.
After running for a long time, she heard sparse footsteps following behind her, so at a corner, she quickly turned into a courtyard with a relatively low wall, squatted down and hid in the corner.
The middle-aged men ran to the corner and saw that the girl had disappeared. They were a little annoyed and cursed. The leader cursed and ordered the people underground to split up and chase her.
Jiang Qingwan put one hand against the wall and the other hand on her chest, where her heartbeat was racing due to running, and she gasped for air.
Hearing the footsteps of those people gradually disappear, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Come on, making money in this day and age is indeed a serious matter!
It had been a long time since she had exercised, and running for so long would have killed her.
Fortunately, she has been drinking from the spiritual spring in space recently to improve her health. Otherwise, if the original owner's frail and frail body had encountered such a strenuous exercise today, she might have lost half of her life.
"Who are you?" An old man in simple clothes and extraordinary temperament stood at the door of the house and looked warily at the strange stranger who suddenly broke into his yard and hid at the root of the wall. He exuded a fierce aura, "Why are you in my yard?"
Here? What do you want to do?"
Seeing that the owner of the yard had discovered her, Jiang Qingwan stood up embarrassedly, bent down and apologized: "I'm really sorry. There was a bad guy chasing me just now, so I hid in your yard in a hurry."
Although it was to avoid people outside, Jiang Qingwan felt guilty and lacked confidence because she had broken into someone else's yard after all.
The old man carefully looked at this girl who could be seen in disguise at a glance. She was wearing gray cotton clothes, but there were no patches. It seemed that her family was in good condition.
He carefully observed her exposed clear and bright eyes. Based on his experience, a person with such clear and bright eyes would definitely not be a heinous and evil person.
I also saw that she was carrying a large backpack on her back, and thought of the "black market" a few lanes away, where people often pretended to trade food supplies.
I knew in my heart that this girl was probably being targeted in the black market or avoiding the pickets, so she hurriedly hid in her yard.
"That's right, that's okay!" Seeing that the girl apologized so solemnly and behaved politely, the old man lowered his guard a little and said in a gentle voice.
"Thank you for your understanding! They have already left. I will leave immediately!" Jiang Qingwan looked at the old man in front of her who seemed to have a lot of background. The aura she just exuded was definitely not what an ordinary person would have, so she cautiously
Thank you very much.
She was about to leave when suddenly an anxious voice came from the house, "Old man, is someone coming outside? Who is it?"
The old man turned towards the house and shouted: "Don't worry, it's okay. It's just a girl who accidentally broke into the yard."
Then I saw the girl preparing to climb over the wall and leave. Out of my fondness for the girl's apology, I thought about it and said, "Little girl, please wait a moment. The person chasing you may not be able to find you."
Fight back. Just stay in the yard for a while and wait until you are sure they won't come back before going out."
When Jiang Qingwan heard this, she stopped moving, thought for a moment, then retreated to the base of the wall, and thanked the old man seriously once again.
