Chapter 0025 This Woman Is Not Simple
I narrowed my eyes: "Do you know him?"
"I can't say that we know each other, but we are from the same place and we know each other a little bit." Ah Xiang glanced at Wuming with a look of contempt.
"He is famous for making up lies. His wife was deceived to death by him! If he tells you anything, don't believe it!"
"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows. This man and woman said that each other was untrustworthy. Did they have a grudge against each other?
"What did he tell you?" Ah Xiang leaned over with half of her body, her beautiful face full of concern, but to me it looked like she was wearing a hypocritical mask.
"Just one sentence, the same as what you said after you burned the incense. I hope everything goes well tonight."
"That's good." Ah Xiang nodded, showing a relieved smile , "Luckily I came in time, otherwise if you were deceived by him, it would be too late."
Then she moved closer to me, almost sticking to me, and her breath smelled like orchid.
"Young man, please do me a favor! I don't really want you to marry me, I just want you to kowtow to me."
"Isn't that cheating? I am an upright person and I can't do such a thing!" I moved to the side.
Ah Xiang looked at me blankly, then sighed, lowered her head with a sad expression, her shoulders trembled as if she was sobbing slightly, looking very pitiful.
"Young man, you must think I'm a frivolous person, right?" Ah Xiang raised her head, looking pitiful, with too much grievance in her big, tearful eyes.
"They all hate me and despise me. Men only care about my body, and women all call me a troublemaker. Except for you, no one has ever said a good word to me. I just..."
To be honest, she is not the kind of unforgettable beauty, but she has a kind of fragile temperament that makes people feel pity. At this moment, she looks like a wounded little white rabbit, so pitiful that people have the urge to hold her in their arms and protect her.
Those watery eyes seemed like they would sink into you if you looked at them for just one more second.
But for some reason, every time I was about to lose control, a warm feeling would arise in my chest, keeping my brain clear.
It should be the effect of the calming talisman. I put these two middle-level talismans in the pocket close to my chest.
If it weren't for the protection of the talisman, I would have fallen into Ah Xiang's trap.
This woman is not simple.
"I just want to leave this damn place as soon as possible. Once my dad is freed, I can leave. That's why I... Bro, I'm really not that kind of person. Please help me."
Ah Xiang was still begging pitifully.
"You don't have to care about what others say. Your father's greatest wish when he was alive was for you to marry a good man and live a happy life. Finding someone to deceive him is not what he wants to see."
I didn't want to continue arguing with her, so I waved my hand, got up and walked away.
Ah Xiang stood there in a daze, her head slowly lowered, her face hidden in the shadows, her pale fingers tightly folded together, no one knew what she was thinking.
On the other side, Wuming watched the whole process like watching a play, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking Ah Xiang.
Ah Xiang glared at Wuming fiercely, with a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
Seeing the subtle reactions of the two people, I am more certain that Wuming’s reminder to me to be careful of A Xiang was not out of kindness, but most likely to win me over to deal with her.
A man and a woman are evenly matched. Whichever side I stand on has the advantage.
Honestly, I'm not very interested in what happened between them. Tonight I have only one goal, which is to stay alive until dawn. There's no need to join their fight.
I looked at the time and there were still four hours before dawn. I rubbed my temples and lit a cigarette to wake myself up.
I still have to endure tonight.
The candlelight flickered beside the eerie coffin, and everyone's expression was uncertain.
As time passed, Ah Xiang became anxious. She rolled her eyes a few times, took something out of the basket, held it in her hand, and strode towards me.
Are you going to take action?
My nerves suddenly tensed up, and I put my hands in my pockets, tightly gripping the multi-purpose knife.
On the other side, Wuming's movements also changed slightly.
At this moment, I suddenly discovered a terrible thing. Ah Xiang and Wuming were on my left and right. If these two people joined forces to deal with me, I would be attacked from both sides.
My heart sank and I moved my body carefully so as not to expose my back to Wuming.
With her red skirt fluttering, Ah Xiang walked closer with a pale face.
Just when she was less than three meters away from me , a strange sound suddenly rang out in the quiet lobby.
The sound of rasping and pulling is extremely harsh.
It's like someone is scratching the wooden board with their fingernails!
When this voice rang out, Ah Xiang and Wuming's faces changed almost at the same time.
I was also shocked.
The scratching sound of nails came from the third black coffin!
Wuming stood up suddenly, frowning slightly.
"Oh no! It's awake!" He took out a bundle of red ropes and walked quickly to the third coffin.
"Little brother, come and give us a hand! Otherwise, if the guy inside escapes, none of us will survive tonight!"
Pretending to be dead?
The nails kept scratching, and the sharp sound of the teeth sounded like thousands of ants gnawing at the scalp.
Seeing how nervous the two men were, I knew the situation was urgent, so I hurried over.
"Hurry, help me tie up the coffin." Wuming handed me the other end of the red rope.
