Chapter 183 A Second Thought Incurs Profound Fear (1/2)

The Fishing River Village was a small fishing village, only a few dozen families, located next to the Pearl River. People in the village made a living by fishing and raising fish. It was not far from Guan City, but it seemed to be another world.

Soon after it was dark, a black and white electric car came to the entrance of the village.

Ning Tao pulled up the electric car, God’s Will, and took a look at his phone. It was 7:32, 28 minutes to the appointed meeting time. He put it away and said, “Qing Zhui, you stay here and watch the car. I’ll go into the village.”

Qing Zhui got off the electric car honestly and asked, “Don’t you need me to go with you?”

“No,” answered Ning Tao. “Since the person asked me to meet him this way, if he sees you, maybe he won’t show up.”

“Well, I’ll wait for you here,” Qing Zhui replied.

When Ning Tao entered the village, a faint smell of salted fish came over his nostrils. Every family here made salted fish so that the air was filled with the smell of salted fish. The Pearl River was right next to the village, flowing gently into the distance. A few motorized fishing boats were sailing along the river toward Guan City, presumably to sell their catch at the aquatic market at the dock.

For most people, that was the way life was—work according to the sunlight. They were not interested in the secrets of the world.

When Ning Tao entered the village, he walked slowly with the small medicine chest across his shoulder, occasionally flapping the Unbreakable Fan in his hand. Many people looked at him curiously, and a dog ran after him, but did not bark at him.

Ning Tao walked through the village, observing the people around him. Unfortunately, he didn’t find suspicious “target”. He had been wondering who had asked him to meet him at such a place, but had no idea.

Soon, more than 20 minutes passed. When Ning Tao was about to leave the village, an old woman with gray hair came out of a courtyard, gave him a look and asked in Hakka, “Young man, who are you looking for?”

Ning Tao stopped and politely said, “Old lady, can you speak mandarin? I can’t understand you.”

Then another woman’s voice came from the yard. “Seventh Aunt, that’s him. Invite him in.” She was also speaking Hakka.

Ning Tao realized the sound was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it. But the sentence was not complicated, and he could just make out that the woman in the courtyard had asked the old woman to let him in.

Sure enough, the old woman waved her hand and said, “Young man, come in.”

Ning Tao nodded, walked up to the old woman, and passed her through the door.

The old woman went back in, closed the gate, and said, “Follow me, young man.”

Ning Tao was not interested in analyzing what she was talking about. As he followed her, he awoke the eyes and nose to the state of looking and smelling. Then he learned about the house, which had only one room with human odors, and he saw the colorful natural aura of life released through the ajar door.

Moreover, he also saw the internal strength from the old woman’s innate aura, which only own by the real master of the internal force energy. The internal strength was different from the spiritual energy of the practitioner, but powerful. This surprised him. The old lady looked so weak that Ning Tao had no idea she was a real master. Her disguise was more powerful, and she deceived his eyes!

The old woman reached the ajar door first, opened it, and stopped at it.

When Ning Tao came to the door, the room suddenly lit up. The dim incandescent light dispelled the darkness in the room. When the light came on, a woman came into his sight. Seeing her face clearly, he froze for a moment.

The person who asked him to meet in this remote fishing village was actually Xin Zhiyu’s mother, Zhu Hongqin.

No wonder he felt a little familiar when he heard her voice just now. It was in the Prosperous House that I heard her voice.

Zhu Hongqin was sitting at an old square table with two cups and a kettle. Ning Tao entered the room, walked across to her and sat down without saying hello.

Zhu Hongqin picked up the kettle and made Ning Tao a cup of tea, saying, “Doctor Ning, I’m sorry I asked you to this place without explanation.”

“Never mind,” said Ning Tao. “Tell me why you asked me to meet you here.”

“Will you give me two minutes to get ready?” Zhu Hongqin asked.

Ning Tao said, “Sure.”

Zhu Hongqin got up from her seat and walked to the window.

Ning Tao turned his head to look at her, wondering what she was up to. He couldn’t help thinking of the spirit tablet in the ancestral temple that had the name “Zhu Hongyu” engraved on the back and wondering how to ask about it later.

However, just at this time, he suddenly heard a strong wind in his ear.

A sense of crisis struck Ning Tao. The spiritual power airbag started instantly. At the same time, he unconsciously raised his arm, ready to block.

Bam!

Ning Tao had barely lifted his arm when a foot landed on his shoulder.

It was the old woman guarding the door who had attacked him, but that was not what surprised him. What surprised him was how nimble and how fast the old woman was!

“What are you doing?” Ning Tao was shocked and angry. As he pushed himself up with his feet, the force of his shoulders pushed out the old woman who had attacked him.

The seemingly old and thin old woman twisted her waist in the air. Her right leg was pushed away and fell, and her left leg suddenly kicked Ning Tao’s head with the rotating force of the twisted waist.

This was to use the leg as a whip!

How could she make such an attack at her age!

Was it over?

Ning Tao just stopped hiding.
