Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - Chapter 153

Chapter 153

“What’s wrong? Nei’er, why is your face all red?” Xiuping was cooking porridge, and asked casually.

Nei’er shook her head, “No, nothing, just a little hot.”

While they were talking, Niqiu came in and saw that the porridge was ready. So he brought a food tray and looked like he was going to help deliver porridge to Ning Qing.

Those days, because of the cold weather, Ning Qing’s house’s heater was lit, so Xiuping would bring food to the house.

“Let Nie’er deliver it, you go and fetch some water,” Xiuping dismissed him, not letting a boy into a girl’s room.

Niqiu put down the food tray, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he still obeyed Xiuping’s arrangement and went to the well to fetch water.

Niqiu dropped the barrel and watched as the bucket descended vertically and landed in the well with a “pop”, as the water swayed. He could not help but touch his chest. There seemed to be something alive inside, twisting between the chest and the palm of his hand.

He had a moment of swaying, and then a trace of determination and ruthlessness swirled under his eyes.

The tiny arms were surprisingly strong. The well water was already abundant and not high from the ground. Three or four round trips a bucket of water was pulled up.

He picked up the well water and headed for the kitchen, but his eyes lingered briefly on Ning Qing’s window.

The guard who had been lying on the eaves of the house faked sleep, and everything in the courtyard was seen through the slits of his eyes.

The weather was getting colder after two more days. The few trees in front of the courtyard only had some dried up branches standing against the wind. The green leaves were long gone. In the dull sky as far as the eye could see, only withered yellow appeared.

Panther curled up in the kennel, head and tail buried in the abdomen. A small sound came, its ears alertly erected. The dog’s eyes also opened. In the black pupils of the dog, a small figure wavered.

The dog immediately stood up from the kennel, shaking his hair, sensitive nose smelled the unusual scent, and followed it to the house.

At that moment it was three o’clock at noon. In the morning, they were busy. The afternoon things had not yet arrived, so the usual busy figures, at the moment, were idle.

Nie’er took advantage of the gap to go back to the house to see her paralyzed father and check if her two brothers were home. Xiuping was responsible for the food of the house. She got up early and was tired, so she went to her room for a short rest after her daily work.

In Zhang Rulan’s house, the two maids were playing cards with her, and every now and then came a laugh or a sigh.

Ning Qing was reading the account book. A small figure was sitting outside the curtain at Ning Qing’s door, as the fire in the house was warm.

The small figure quietly walked into the hall and sat down on the floor by the fireplace. If someone came out at that moment and saw him, they would only think he was warming.

Not long after, the thick coat under the faint drumming, the small figure looked around, saw the black dog lying on the side of the fire, momentarily looking at him, which startled him.

What a human being!

Luckily it was a dog. The tiny figure breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back, pointing directly at Ning Qing’s house.

He seemed to be a little anxious. After a moment of hesitation, with a firm gaze, the small figure approached. He walked to the door, looked at Shen Ma’s hand.

After making sure there was no doubt, he took out something from the sleeve, sprinkled some powder on the door, and from under the jacket pulled out a baby head-sized cloth bag. The cloth bag was bulging, there were things rolling in it.

The tiny figure was a bit panicked. His hands were shaking. He pulled the tied mouth of the bag several times but it was tight and could not be opened. The black dog had long stood behind, took two steps back, his legs went a bit soft.

The tiny figure’s forehead seeped out beads of sweat, blocking the line of sight. He wiped a bit as he finally opened the bag. He was obviously relieved, then carefully flicked the bottom of the bag, along the ground to send it forward gently.

The black dog stared, only to see more than a dozen black and white poisonous snakes tumble out. But because of the threshold of unknown powder, they stopped there. The temperature inside the house was warmer than the outside, and those snakes coincidentally crawled toward the house.

These snakes seem to be stimulated by something and they were spitting their tongue violently. Their crawling speed was not at all like first awakening after hibernation, as if they were guided directly to attack Ning Qing.

The stunned dog barked. At the same time, hanging on the eaves of the two guards waiting for an opportunity to move, jumped to the door to subdue the figure at the door who was escaping.

The two guards flashed into the house, with daggers as fast as the wind and before Ning Qing would react, more than ten snakes had turned into two halves.

The guard was afraid that the remaining snakes were not cleared, so they picked up Ning Qing and flew out of the house.

Shen Ma heard the sound, in panic opened her eyes, saw several people standing in front of the door, bewildered, “What is happening here?”

Ning Qing looked at the poisonous snakes on the floor of the house, and recognized it as the silver-ringed snake. The toxicity of that kind of snake was very strong. If bitten, one would die in less than an hour.

Looking down at Niqiu who fell in front of the door, she remembered Flower Boss’s words. Although her heart was clear, she was still regretful.
