Progress and killer

  "Hold on tight, hug the child well!"

  Xu Zheng got up as soon as he heard the baby's cry and rushed over to take the child from the woman.

  Xiao Congrong watched as Xu Zheng carefully held the child in his arms, skillfully bouncing him a few times. The child opened his small hands and grabbed onto Xu Zheng's clothes, still crying loudly in Xiao Congrong's direction, leaving Xu Zheng looking around in confusion.

  Surrounded by tombstones, Xu Zheng suddenly realized something, and with one hand holding the child and the other arm around the woman's shoulder, he coaxed: "Rong Rong, let's go back!"

  The woman watched calmly as the family of three slowly walked out of the cemetery, but for some reason, the woman kept turning her head to look at where she was standing, her big eyes still devoid of any spark.

  Xiao Congrong wanted to chase after him, but there was a mysterious force in the cemetery that pulled her back, making her whole body ache with every move. She could only cry out helplessly: "A Zheng, what's going on? Is that woman really me? Is the child really ours? Did you really kill me? Am I dreaming, or is everything just a mess of time and space?"

  "Third Miss... Third Miss..."

  "If you dare fall in love with someone else, I won't push him into the water... I'll kill him!"

  "No children... you be my child, I'll spoil you for life!"

  Innumerable fragments flashed in Xiao Zong's mind, and she fell into endless pain and torture, her consciousness unclear whether it was clear or confused, rising and falling.

  She was powerless to control her own consciousness, so she just went with the flow, didn't think about anything, and let herself drift away...

  Her consciousness gradually became blurred, she felt like a wisp of green smoke, scattered by a gust of wind...

  The raindrops fell on the eaves, dripping down, and then dripped onto the bluestone bricks. After a long time, they formed small, shallow, and deep circular marks, which were the witnesses of the years!

  The air is filled with negative oxygen ions after the rain, free from the disturbance of dust, taking a breath feels refreshing and clear, and my mind also becomes clearer.

  Xiao Congrong hadn't even opened her eyes yet, but she had already smelled that green-filled scent. Subconsciously opening her eyes, the ancient and elegant room in front of her left her momentarily stunned, dazed for a moment, and sniffing out a food aroma from her nose, turning her head to see an anciently dressed maid standing beside her with a tray of food.

  "Third Miss, awake? Want some congee?"

  Xiao Congrong blinked, and the woman was still standing beside him, looking at her with a strange expression. Xiao Congrong stared back at her, and that cold gaze slowly awakened her memory. In an instant, she remembered everything.

  Crossing over, being beaten, being wronged, even last night's unbearable pain... Golden Needle...

  Uh... she got a headache! The bedding under her was all dry, and the golden needles were nowhere to be seen. She quietly felt herself up and down, and even her underwear had been changed...

  Xiao Congrong looked at Xiang Lan and smiled wryly after a long time: "It was you who helped me change clothes, wasn't it?"

  That Cui Zhu is unlikely to have the guts, seeing her body full of golden needles wouldn't scare everyone in the Xiao Fu, it's strange. Looking at the current calm situation, I guess only this calm Xiang Lan can do it!

  "Hmm, those needles have been put away and placed under your pillow. Next time you do something so dangerous, it's best to find someone to watch over you, or else you'll really go crazy!"

  Xiang Lan quietly put the food tray on the small table, turned around and pointed to the basin rack, saying: "I've also fetched water for washing your face, go wash up and eat something! I'll go out first, just call me if you need anything!"

  "Ah, thank you!" Xiao Zongrong waited for her to leave before getting up to examine himself. All the golden needles had been removed and the sweat stains on his body were gone, it seemed that Xiang Lan had done a lot for him!

  This is not the point, she couldn't wait to try out her skills, and was pleasantly surprised to find that her abilities had improved again, with no pain in her legs as her internal energy flowed through them! She was overjoyed, grabbed a crutch for support and stood up, threw aside one of the crutches, tried putting her foot on the ground, took a step forward, and felt a sharp pain...

  Xiao Congrong burst into tears, this is progress! Her feet seem to be saved! In the past, they were soft and mushy when placed on the ground, how could she exert force? Now that she can bear weight and feel pain, it's already a huge step forward. What she needs to do now is to gradually rehabilitate herself, train her muscles to withstand stress, and with time, she'll be able to throw away her crutches and walk on her own.

  Tears of joy flowed freely, and Xiao Zongrong cried a happy cry for herself. The pain she had endured the night before now seemed worthwhile. She couldn't wait to find someone to share her happiness with, but after thinking about it, she realized that except for Chu Qingkuang, there was really no one else worth celebrating with.

  Chu Qing is crazy, haha, she's laughing loudly in her heart, just waiting for the day she throws away her crutches, and then give him a huge surprise!

  Calm down, after drinking the porridge brought by Xiang Lan, Xiao Zong decided to have a good talk with Xiang Lan. Her secret had been known by Xiang Lan, and if she didn't want to kill her, she could only bribe Xiang Lan to keep this secret for her.

  But as for the price of Lan, she had no idea at all. After thinking about it, it seemed that honesty and sincerity were the best weapons to conquer Lan. Women are soft-hearted after all, and she only hoped that Lan hadn't become so heartless that he was beyond salvation.

  "Come in, Xianglan!" Having made up his mind, Xiao calmly called Xianglan in.

  The rain outside had stopped, and a cold air mass was brought in by the wind. Standing at the door, she asked faintly: "Third Miss, do you have something to ask me?"

  "Come in and sit down, let's have a chat!" Xiao Zongrong had already washed up and was sitting at the table, and even poured her a glass of water.

  "What's the matter?" Xiang Lan sat opposite her, her lips curling up sarcastically. "Are you afraid I'll tell Wu Mingyuan your secret? Don't worry, I'm not that despicable, and I'm not his household slave, reporting to him on everything!"

  Xiao Congrong smiled: "You say that and I'm not afraid! Is there anything you need my help with? Just say it, if I can do it, I won't refuse!"

  Lan furrowed her brow and asked abruptly: "Do you like doing things this way? One thing for another?"

  Xiao said calmly: "No, I don't care about how much I pay for my friends! You and I are not friends yet, I think it's better to get along like this. I don't want to owe you, so consider it a repayment or a bribe, give me a price that I can afford!"

  Xiang Lan smiled for the first time, very faintly and briefly: "Your personality is similar to mine, I also don't like owing people! If you want to be at ease, I'll give you a chance to be at ease. However, this matter still puts you at a disadvantage, so I'm not sure if you'll do it or not. But if you refuse, I won't blame you either. I swear on my mother's spirit in heaven that I absolutely won't reveal your secret. Let's just consider us friends from now on, okay?"

  Xiao Zongrong was slightly moved, thought for a moment and stretched out his hand: "Alright, for your sake, I'll make friends with you first, we can discuss other matters later!"

  Xiang Lan stretched out his hand and gave her a high-five, saying: "You were tired all night last night, sleep a little more, my business is not urgent, wait until you have energy to talk!"

  "Ah, okay!" Xiao Zongrong wasn't a hypocritical person either. He had been in pain all night and was severely drained of energy, so he really didn't have the spirit to do anything. Seeing Lan being so considerate, he accepted her kindness and lay down on the bed, saying: "Don't hurry off, let's chat for a bit!"

  Look at Lan and say: "Don't ask me about Wu Mingyuan's affairs, I can't tell you, industry rules I won't be the first to break!"

  Xiao Congrong smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I didn't want to ask about his affairs, I won't make things difficult for you! It's just that it's been a long time since I've had a sister to talk to, I wanted to find someone to chat with!"

  Xiang Lan finally walked over and sat down beside her bed, saying very seriously: "Let's talk, what do you want to talk about?"

  Xiao Congrong was speechless, did they have to be so serious when chatting? After thinking about it, he didn't expect this cold woman to come up with any conversation topics, so he had to start himself: "Xiang Lan, your martial arts skills are very high, what do you do?"

  "Assassin! I'm paid in silver to kill!" was Lanzhen's direct and candid response.

  Xiao Congrong suddenly fell silent, never having met a killer who killed with such calmness. He didn't know if it was the residual effect of being a policeman in his past life, but his first instinct was that they were not on the same side. After some thought, he couldn't help but laugh - emperors killing people like they were nothing, what's the big deal about meeting a killer in ancient times?

  "Scared? Intimidated?" Biased towards Lan provocatively asked, that disdainful tone made her cry and laugh at the same time!

  What's there to be afraid of! When I was a cop myself, quite a few people died at my hands too. The difference is that they were all heinous villains.

  "No, I'm thinking that being an assassin must be very profitable?" Xiao thought calmly. If her legs were fine, or she could also engage in this profession! Her inner strength was so deep, it shouldn't be wasted!

  Learn more martial arts, or maybe make a name for yourself in this industry! Of course, assassins have their own creed, she absolutely doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and killing those corrupt officials who are short on silver is not a big deal!

  This time Lan was stunned, is this the third miss of Xiao's mansion? Hearing that the killer wasn't afraid, but instead asked if being a killer was very profitable?

  Is she short of money? Judging from the lavish gifts that arrive daily, it's unthinkable! And what about that night pearl given by some boss, selling it would be enough for her to live a carefree life!

  Either this third miss has a problem with her brain or she is really... very ignorant of the profession of killer!
