Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Chapter 353: Meteor Appears

Xu Zhihui took a look and saw that the truck didn't look like a long-distance truck, but rather a truck that was delivering goods within the city. She got on the truck and asked, "Driver, it's only four in the morning. Are you delivering goods so early? What kind of goods are you delivering?"

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. After he started the car, he replied, "I'm delivering goods to an old customer. I deliver goods once every two weeks, usually at six in the morning. There was something going on there today, so I asked him to deliver it earlier. I'm delivering some daily necessities, grains, oils and foodstuffs, as well as slaughtered meat, such as chicken, pork, and mutton. Girl, where are you going?"

Xu Zhihui said, "Do you know Lingyue Villa? If you take me there, I will give you a reward. If I delay your time, I will compensate you."

But when the driver heard this, he was very surprised and said, "Oh, what a coincidence. I am delivering something to Lingyue Villa."

Xu Zhihui said: "It is indeed a coincidence. Don't worry, I will still reward you."

The driver was very happy to hear this.

Xu Zhihui asked casually, "You often deliver goods to her family, so you must be very familiar with the people in Lingyue Villa, right?"

The driver said, "I'm not familiar with them. I only delivered the goods to the gate of the manor. Several gardeners came out to receive the goods, but the family didn't let them enter the gate. The people in that manor are very strange..."

He stopped talking immediately and laughed a few times. "What I mean is that they are very special and seem to be isolated from the world. Girl, do you want to visit her home? Or..."

Xu Zhihui smiled faintly and said, "Guest."

After driving for a while, the driver suddenly said, "I heard that a meteor appeared in the sky last night. The tail of the meteor was very long. It flew to the mountain in the east and fell down. It seemed to be near Lingyue Villa. Did you see it?"

Xu Zhihui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you hear that?"

The driver replied: "It was posted on the Internet."

Xu Zhihui said: "I didn't see it. It must be fake, a rumor. There is no such thing as a shooting star. There are too many fake things nowadays."

The driver didn't continue talking about this. He saw Xu Zhihui holding a purple-black vest and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Xu Zhihui said: "It's just a piece of clothing, nothing special."

The driver didn't say anything during the trip. Xu Zhihui took out He Zhijing's phone and saw that it still had power. She didn't know if Cheng Yue had called Hu Yan to let her know he was safe. After thinking about it, she decided to send Hu Yan a message.

Hu Yan didn't reply. She must have said it in her sleep.

It was a snowy day, and the truck drove slowly. It took about an hour on the main road to reach the fork, then turned into a small road, which became more and more remote. Xu Zhihui looked out the window and saw an ancient city on the mountainside in the distance.

The truck drove on the small road for thirty minutes and finally arrived at Lingyue Villa. Xu Zhihui glanced at the time and it was almost six o'clock in the morning.

It snowed heavily all night, and the entire Lingyue Villa was covered with a thick layer of snow.

Outside the gate, four or five gardeners hid in a shed waiting for the delivery truck. When the truck arrived, a big man from the villa blamed the driver, "Why are you 40 minutes late?"

The driver was about to explain when Xu Zhihui walked over from the other side of the truck and said with a smile, "Old Feng, the roads are slippery and the traffic is slow in the heavy snow. Don't blame the driver."

When Old Feng heard the voice, he immediately turned around and looked. He cried out "Ouch!" and dropped the account book in his hand to the ground. He said happily, "Ms. Hui, you're back."

"Yes."

"Quick, quick, go in."

"Wait a moment."

Xu Zhihui transferred 20,000 yuan to the driver on her phone and said, "Thank you, driver. Here's your reward."

The driver was shocked when he saw the number. For a ride, eight hundred or one thousand yuan from such a rich family was already a lot, but he never expected to give twenty thousand yuan. He hurriedly said, "Miss, you gave too...too much, I really can't accept it, I'll return it to you."

Lao Feng said, "Thank you very much for sending our young lady back. Our young lady gave it to you, just accept it."

After that, he handed the account book to others, held a big umbrella for Xu Zhihui to block the snow, and the two walked back to the ancient city together.

As Lao Feng walked, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Miss Hui is back..."

After a while, the lights on the walls of the ancient city were turned on and the city gates opened wide.

Shen Suzhu came out with a dozen servants to greet them. She hurried over and looked at Xu Zhihui carefully. She reached out to wipe the snow off her body and said distressedly, "Miss Hui, you're back. Are you okay? Look at you. You're covered in snow. Are you cold?"

Xu Zhihui was touched and smiled, "Aunt Shen, don't worry, I'm fine and I'm not cold."

Shen Suzhu took her hand and said, "Go in quickly and warm yourself up. The weather is bad, and it suddenly snowed heavily last night."

Xu Zhihui smiled and walked into the city with everyone.

The driver outside the gate asked in surprise: "She...she is your daughter?"

A gardener said, "Of course."

In the eyes of the people in Lingyue Villa, Miss Yueqiu and Miss Ahui are more like sisters than sisters. Miss Ahui is the lady of Lingyue Villa, no different from anyone else.

The driver murmured, "No wonder she is so noble and beautiful, it turns out she is the daughter of Lingyue Villa. Fortunately, I gave her a ride."

The castle was very warm, like two different worlds from the outside. There was a stove every two meters in each corridor, and the firewood in the stove was burning brightly. Shen Suzhu took off Xu Zhihui's coat, took her to eat something, and told the maid, "Prepare bathing and changing utensils for the young lady."

Xu Zhihui sat at the dining table and ate cakes. While eating, she asked, "Aunt Shen, how are Mr. He and Cheng Yue?"

Shen Suzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. They were a little tired and hungry when they came back. They went to rest after eating and haven't woken up yet."

Xu Zhihui felt relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you Aunt Shen for taking care of me, and thank you Lao Tian for helping me along the way."

Shen Suzhu said: "Why thank you so much? It's my duty."

After eating something and taking a bath, Xu Zhihui came to He Zhijing's room. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she lay down beside him in her clothes.

When she woke up, it was already noon. He Zhijing was sitting beside the bed looking at her, looking refreshed.

He Zhijing came over and said with a smile: "Wife, are you awake?"

Xu Zhihui nodded, sat up, and saw that there was still a faint mark on his neck. She reached out and touched it, and asked, "Does your neck still hurt?"

He Zhijing smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xu Zhihui said, "I brought you something. When I'm not with you when I go out, you can wear it. It will protect you."

After that, she got off the bed, picked up the purple-gold armor from the chair, and measured He Zhijing's body to make sure it fit him. She immediately took off his coat and put the armor on him.

He Zhijing was so moved that his eyes were red. "Wife, you are so good to me."

Xu Zhihui stroked his face and said with a smile: "Silly boy, I'm your wife, of course I will treat you well."

After a while, the servant came to invite the two to have lunch. Xu Zhihui saw Cheng Yue, who was in good spirits, with a look of happiness after surviving a disaster. She returned the phone to him and asked, "Have you called Hu Yan?"

"I got the call as soon as I got home last night," Cheng Yue smiled happily, "Oh, I was so worried about her that I felt like an ant on hot nest the whole night."

When they sat down to eat, Lao Tian was there too. He was surprised and impressed, and asked, "Ms. Hui, did you handle that guy by yourself last night?"

Xu Zhihui smiled and said, "Of course. I've already said that guy is a waste and not worth mentioning."

She omitted a lot of details, just telling how she kicked the guy, knocked him out, tied him up, and then left.

She said it so calmly and without taking it seriously, which made Old Tian admire her even more.

Shen Suzhu smiled without saying anything, knowing that it was not that simple. It was not surprising that Miss Ahui, like Miss Yueqiu, had special abilities.

Old Feng suddenly asked, "Mrs. Shen, I heard that a meteor appeared in the sky over the capital last night and landed on a hill near us. Have you seen it?"

Shen Suzhu said: "I haven't seen it! Don't talk nonsense."

Someone at the table said, "It's not nonsense. Madam Shen, look, there are videos online."

Shen Suzhu shouted, "Nonsense! Videos can be faked and can be manipulated. Stop spreading rumors."

In Lingyue Villa, besides Miss Yueqiu, Shen Suzhu is the most authoritative person, and there is also an old coach who protects the villa. When Du Yueqiu is not around, Shen Suzhu is in charge of Lingyue Villa, and everyone calls her "Mrs. Shen".

Everyone responded, "Yes, I know."
