After Ning Meng had disappeared from the room, Ning Wentao wanted to chase after her. However, his legs gave way and he fell onto the sofa. He fainted.
After some time, Cao Xuehua, who had just escaped, came back.
Seeing that the two robbers had left, she breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and took two steps forward, but she accidentally slipped on the blood on the ground. She fell directly on the dagger that the robber had just thrown on the ground.
The dagger had cut her arm, and there was a lot of blood.
Ning Wentao opened his eyes in a daze. He looked at Cao Xuehua and stared at her face and arm for a long time. Finally, he said, "You were the one who saved me?"
Cao Xuehua was about to say something when she heard this. She was stunned.
Ning Wentao continued, "Why did you run away?"
Ran away?
Someone had just saved him, and then he was injured, but he ran away at the last moment?
Who was that person?
No …
Cao Xuehua's eyes lit up. She had chased after Ning Wentao for so long, but this guy was still living in the memory of his dead wife. If there was a chance …
Ning Meng did not care about what happened in the villa.
The artery on her arm was cut, and there was a lot of blood. The more she walked, the more dizzy she felt.
She could not faint because she did not have an identification card. It would be troublesome to go to the hospital or the police station in this world …
She could only pick up her phone and call Huo Beichen.
When Huo Beichen's phone rang, he was doing a chemistry question. The complicated chemical formula made him frown. When he saw the caller ID, he casually picked up the phone. "What's up?"
Ning Meng had used the excuse of going out to buy some groceries.
He did not know why she had not come back after so long.
As Huo Beichen was thinking, he heard her say, "I'm at the Huai 'an villa. I'm injured. Can you come and pick me up …"
As soon as she said this, Huo Beichen stood up, pushed the chair away, and rushed out. He did not even have time to put on his jacket. "How are you injured? Is it serious? I'll be right there! Don't hang up. "
He rushed out with his phone in hand.
The two villas were very close to each other, but there were no taxis on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. He walked to the door and waited for twenty seconds before he realized that it would be very difficult to get a taxi today.
As soon as he thought of this, he rushed to his garage.
There were two cars in the garage that his parents had used when they were still alive. Huo Beichen had gotten his driver's license when he was 16, but he had never driven one.
He couldn't care about anything else now. He pressed his hand on the car door.
The scene of his parents getting into a car accident instantly appeared in his mind, causing his fingers to tremble.
Ever since their accident, he had a fear of cars.
Just as he was trying his best to overcome this fear, Ning Meng's voice could be heard from the other side of the phone. "I'm so dizzy, Huo Beichen …"
After saying that, she didn't make any more movements!
Huo Beichen panicked. He pushed open the car door and drove away.
On the way, his mind was full of that woman, and he completely forgot that he was afraid of cars.
Although it was snowing, he still drove at top speed. Five minutes later, he arrived at the villa. Following Ning Meng's directions, he finally saw her at a corner where no one would notice.
She was lying on the ground, and her blood had dyed the snow around her red.
Huo Beichen quickly rushed over.
It only took him five minutes to reach the nearest hospital. When the doctor saw Ning Meng, he immediately shouted, "She has lost too much blood. Quick, go for a blood test. The patient needs blood transfusion!"
Everyone pushed Ning Meng into the emergency room. Huo Beichen anxiously paced back and forth outside. After a while, he heard a nurse shouting, "She has type O blood! We have already transferred the blood from the blood bank!! "
When Huo Beichen's mind was blank, he only remembered one thing. So, she had type O blood …
Ning Meng's artery had been damaged, and she had lost a lot of blood. Other than that, it was not too serious. After the suturing and blood transfusion, she was no longer in danger.
However, she still needed to be hospitalized for observation.
When he entered the ward, Ning Meng had also woken up. Knowing that she would be hospitalized for three days, she instantly sighed. "I was planning to make dumplings for you guys tonight!!"
Knowing that she was no longer in danger, Huo Beichen relaxed. His eyelids drooped, and he faintly said, "Luckily, you were hospitalized. Our stomachs were saved."
Ning Meng was speechless.
How much did this person not trust her cooking skills ~!
However, at night, they still ate dumplings. When Huang Cheng heard that Ning Meng had been hospitalized, Song Meilan had made extra New Year's Eve dinner and asked Huang Cheng to send it to the hospital.
When Huang Cheng sent it over, he was very surprised. "What the f * ck! Lord Chen said that when you were cutting vegetables, you accidentally cut your arm. I was wondering how could a person be so stupid. Look at your pale face, you must have cut quite deeply!!"
Ning Meng was puzzled.
Cutting vegetables?
She looked at Huo Beichen curiously. He looked down at her, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
She had suffered such a serious injury, and it was obvious that the wound had been cut by a knife. Yet, he did not ask for the reason … he even made up a reasonable excuse for her …
Ning Meng did not say anything and just smiled at him.
Huang Cheng wanted to accompany Song Meilan, so he went back during dinner time. Ning Ke brought her homework and accompanied her outside. Ning Meng asked her to go back, but she did not leave. She insisted on accompanying her.
Thinking that it was indeed dangerous for Ning Ke to stay at home alone, Ning Meng did not insist.
When only the two of them were left in the ward, Ning Meng finally found a chance to ask, "Why didn't you ask me?"
Huo Beichen raised his eyebrows. "Would you have told me if I had asked?"
Ning Meng was puzzled.
If she had asked, she would have found another excuse … She really could not tell him.
After all, traveling through time was too unbelievable. Who would believe it?
She coughed and tried to ask, "Hey, I told you last time that I'm your future wife …"
Huo Beichen put down the book in his hand and looked up. "So, are you proposing to me?"
Ning Meng was puzzled.
She just wanted to test if he would believe in such a thing like transmigrating into a book! What kind of proposal was that?!
She pursed her lips. "I mean, I can know some things in the future. Do you believe me?"
Huo Beichen glanced at her. "Should I add a psychiatrist to your list?"
Ning Meng was speechless.
Forget it, forget it, I won't say anymore!
This New Year was a memorable one. Three days passed by quickly. Ning Meng was discharged from the hospital and returned home. Huo Beichen and Ning Ke waited on her like an empress dowager.
For example, when she went to the toilet … Ning Ke would help her. "Sis, let me help you."
Ning Meng was puzzled.
The corner of her mouth twitched. "Keke, I only hurt my arm. I'm not paralyzed."
Unfortunately, Ning Ke and Huo Beichen did not listen to her at all. Instead, they were very aggressive. "You need to rest. You've lost so much blood. You need to replenish it!"
After that, the pig trotter soup and pig's blood in the house started to be served continuously.
Ning Meng felt that she had put on a lot of weight after lying in bed for a few days.
Finally, Ning Meng and Huo Beichen had started school again. Ning Meng finally let out a sigh of relief. If she continued to put on weight, she would become a pig!
Finally, without Huo Beichen and Ning Ke walking around the room, she felt that the air was much fresher.
However, Huo Beichen and Ning Ke's days were not easy.
This was because the first thing they did after school was a quiz. It was not as big as a mock exam. It was also a test for the teachers to see if they had improved during the winter vacation.
After a whole day, they had finished four subjects. On the third day, the papers were marked and the scores were calculated.
Huo Beichen was as steady as ever. Even Ning Ke had improved a lot. When Teacher Liu called Ning Meng, he praised Ning Ke for a long time.
Ning Meng was not stingy with her compliments. "Ke Ke, you were indeed held back. It's only been a few months and you've improved so much. This time, you're in the top 50!"
Ning Ke was very shy. Her face turned red from the compliments. She looked at Huo Beichen with sparkling eyes. Seeing that he was being ignored, she was obviously unhappy. She quickly said, "Sis, this time, Lord Chen is in first place again. He has improved too. He's in second place now!"
As soon as Ning Ke finished her sentence, Huo Beichen lifted his chin slightly and slowly opened his eyes, waiting for the woman to flatter him.
However, the woman looked at him coldly. "Him? Hehehe, I'll scold him for as long as your Teacher Liu praises you. Huo Beichen, Lord Chen, Brother Chen, are you alright? Can you write an essay for the next exam? "
Huo Beichen calmly replied with an "oh". "I'll try my best next time."
Ning Meng was speechless.
Her arm had recovered, so she made tomato egg noodles for the two of them. Huo Beichen was speechless after eating noodles that he had not eaten for a long time.
After dinner, Ning Meng casually asked, "How did Huang Cheng do this time?"
Huo Beichen did not answer. Obviously, he did not care.
Ning Ke said, "He did not do too well."
"??"
Ning Ke sighed. "He probably did not study hard during the winter vacation. His overall ranking dropped by more than a hundred places. He even asked for leave today."
Ning Meng was stunned. "He asked for leave? Why? "
Ning Ke thought for a while. "I think he said that his grandma passed away and he went to attend the funeral."
"??"
Why had she not heard of this grandma before?
Just as she was puzzled, Huo Beichen opened his mouth. "Grandma?"
Ning Ke nodded. "Yes, I heard it when I went to look for the teacher."
Huo Beichen's reaction made Ning Meng quickly ask, "What's wrong?"
Huo Beichen frowned. "His grandma should be Auntie Song's mother. I know her. She's my mother's godmother. "
Mama Huo and Song Meilan had a good relationship, so Huo Beichen must have known Huang Cheng's grandma.
In the end, Huang Cheng's grandma had passed away without informing him …
However, after thinking about it, Song Meilan had thought that he was still a child in school. There was no need to inform him about this.
Ning Meng saw that he was a little uneasy, so she asked, "Where is she? Should we go and take a look? "
Huo Beichen nodded. "She's not far away. We'll go and pay our respects later."
Ning Meng nodded.
Since this had nothing to do with Ning Ke, Ning Meng asked Ning Ke to stay at home after dinner. She was afraid that she would be scared alone, so she asked Su Ye to accompany her.
Ning Meng then followed Huo Beichen and drove to Huang Cheng's grandma's house.
Huang Cheng's parents were locals, and Huang Cheng's grandma's house was only half an hour away from them. It was a rural area in the suburbs.
When they arrived at the village, they saw that there were very few people in the village. It was winter, and it was a world of ice and snow. Very few people would go out.
The two of them stopped the car at the entrance of the alley that was closest to Huang Cheng's grandma's house. Then, they got out of the car and walked into the alley.
Ning Meng was so cold that she was puffing out white steam. She rubbed her hands and asked, "Which family are they from?"
Huo Beichen looked ahead. "I came here when I was five years old. I can't remember clearly. Just look at the house with the white cloth hanging on it."
Ning Meng was speechless. "… But this house is covered in snow. It looks white. I can't tell at all!"
Huo Beichen was speechless.
The two of them stopped and continued to look ahead. Finally, they saw an old lady staggering out of the house to throw the garbage.
Ning Meng quickly took a step forward and patted the old lady's shoulder. "Grandma, may I know how to get to Huang Cheng's grandma's house?"
The old lady turned around. The dim light from the door shone on her face. Coupled with the white snow around her, her face looked pale.
The moment she turned around, Huo Beichen grabbed Ning Meng's arm.
Ning Meng turned around and saw that his face was pale. His lips were trembling, and he stammered, "She … she is Huang Cheng's grandma!"
"!!!"
Ning Meng was scared out of her wits. She felt a chill run down her spine.
Granny Huang smiled. "That's right. Little girl, why are you looking for me?"
Then, she looked at Huo Beichen. "This is … Little Chen? Let me take a good look at you. When you're in the underworld, you'll be able to answer to your mother. "
After hearing this, Ning Meng felt even colder.
The person beside her suddenly fell on top of her and fainted.
"!!!"
She had forgotten that Lord Chen was afraid of ghosts!
Ghosts …
She quickly turned around and looked at Granny Huang. She was shocked. "What's wrong with Little Chen? Quick, come in and talk. "
Granny Huang stretched out her hand. Ning Meng was so scared that she lost her voice. Just when she thought that she was going to faint, a warm hand held her arm.
"??"
A warm hand?
She gulped and watched as Granny Huang helped Huo Beichen into the room.
There was nothing white in the room. It was very normal.
"…!!!"
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility. "Huang Cheng didn't come?"
Granny Huang poured a glass of water for her. "No! He doesn't usually come. He's in his third year of high school. He's busy with his studies! "
"!!!"
Ning Meng could not help but ask, "Granny, you just said that you'll answer to Huo Beichen's mother. Why did you say that?"
Granny Huang waved her hand. "I'm already so old. Who knows when I'll be dead. Help Little Chen's mother look after him!"
"!!!"
Ning Meng's mouth twitched. "Granny, we'll visit you when we're free."
"Sure!"
It was only a matter of time before Huo Beichen fainted. He slowly opened his eyes, and in a daze, he heard Granny Huang's voice. "The next time you come, burn some cloth for me. I plan to make some clothes! Also, burn some soles for me. I want to make a pair of cotton shoes. It's cold on the ground. "
"Okay, I'll bring it to you."
Burn some cloth …
Just as Huo Beichen woke up, he blacked out again …
