Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 348: A Strange Journey (3)

She might think this was a very charming move, but unfortunately Ning Ning ignored her and even wanted to stay away from her.

"Cough cough."

Ren Xin was overwhelmed and quickly cleared his throat to remind Min Le not to go too far.

Unexpectedly, Minle looked at him with disgust, "Why are you coughing? Are you sick? If you are sick, go back to your room and eat by yourself, don't infect us!"

"Don't talk nonsense if someone is sick."

"Then why are you coughing for no reason? Don't you have the strength to breathe? Then you'd better stop breathing!"

"you--"

"Aunt Fan, I heard that you have guests at home?"

A voice came from the door, interrupting Ren Xin's words, and then a girl about twenty years old walked in. She also had fair skin, small features, and long black hair braided into two pigtails. Just standing there she seemed like a beautiful scenery.

"Jinghua is here? This is Ning Ning, Ren Xin's classmate."

Ning Ning greeted her and Min Fan asked her to sit down for dinner, so Ning Ning gave her a seat and let her sit between herself and Min Le, just enough to separate them.

Min Le immediately became unhappy and rolled his eyes at Jing Hua several times. He picked up a piece of mushroom and put it in his mouth, chewing it hard, as if he was chewing Min Le's meat!

Everyone finished the meal with their own thoughts. Jinghua asked Ning Ning a few questions and seemed very interested in the outside world. Later, she even offered to take Ning Ning around the village.

"Don't worry Aunt Fan, we won't leave the village."

"Okay, you guys just go for a walk, don't come back too late. Ning Ning must be tired after traveling all the time, she needs to have a good rest!"

"Got it, Aunt Fan."

As soon as the two of them went out, Ren Xin and Min Le's faces changed.

Ren Xin was helpless and angry, "Minle, what are you doing? Ning Ning just got here, and you can't even wait for a meal before you attack him!"

"It's none of your business when I take action! He's already in the village. We have our people here. He can't escape even if he has wings. What are you still hesitating about? I know you don't want to bring him back because you're afraid that it will affect your future outside."

Don’t even mention how sarcastic she sounded when she said the word “future”.

Ren Xin was so angry that he trembled all over. "What's wrong with me staying outside? What do I have to miss here? I passed the exam with my own grades, why can't I live a good life outside! But you insist on hindering me and force me to bring people back now! Do you know that I am only a sophomore? My classmates all know that Ning Ning and I are good friends. If he disappears, the police will definitely question me. You are going to kill me! Why can't you wait until I graduate before letting me bring people back!"

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Min Fan was getting impatient. "Ren Xin, you just came back and you're already arguing with your sister! If that's the case, leave as soon as you're done. This place has nothing to do with you in the future! The last one couldn't hold on any longer. It was the village chief who decided to let you bring people back now. What can we do? If you want to make a fuss, go and make a fuss with the village chief! It's your fault for not wanting to stay in the village, so you can only bring people back from outside!"

When Ren Xin heard about staying, he was shocked. "No! I won't stay! Anyway, I'm back with my people, you can't let me stay! Go, I want to leave!"

Having said that, he went back to the house mumblingly.

Min Le spat at his back, then frowned and said to Min Fan, "Mom, what does Jing Hua mean? Ning Ning was brought back by Ren Xin. According to the rules, I have to be the first one. Why is she trying to get involved?"

"Don't worry. She doesn't dare to take Ning Ning out of the village. As long as she wanders around the village, there will be no shortage of people around. Are you still afraid of what they might do in public?"

"Oh, that's true."

The Ning Ning they were talking about was indeed being taken around the village by Jinghua at this time.

There are not many people in the village, probably only a few hundred, but there are large gaps between the houses, so the village still occupies a large area.

However, when Ning Ning and Jing Hua were walking on the dirt road in the village, they still felt like they were being watched. Even if they turned around suddenly, they might see a pair of eyes looking at Ning Ning through the crack in the door.

When he noticed Ning Ning looking at him, the pair of eyes disappeared in an instant.

Ning Ning: ...Excuse me, are you a mouse?

Jinghua was also a little embarrassed. "Well, there are no outsiders coming to my village all year round, so everyone is very shy and embarrassed to meet strangers, but I can't help but be curious and want to see more of you. Please don't be surprised."

"It's hard to say whether it's strange or not, but I think there's something very strange. If I'm not mistaken, most of you here are women, and there are only a few men. Why is that?"

"Oh, you, you ask that. Well, most of the men have left. They don't want to stay in our village. They think the world outside is more exciting. But we women prefer to guard the inheritance left to us by our ancestors. By the way, that's the ancestral hall in front, where we worship our ancestors."

Ning Ning: ...The way you change the subject is really not awkward at all!

Sure enough, there was a building in front of us with a large yard. The house was taller than an ordinary house, with imposing pillars in front of the door, and people coming in and out, moving something.

"The day for our ancestor worship is coming soon, so everyone is preparing."

"Jinghua, who are you talking to? Is this the outsider who came here?"

A woman walked out of the ancestral hall. She was very tall, about two meters tall, with muscular body and short hair.

"Clan leader, he is the classmate brought back by Ren Xin, his name is Ning Ning. Ah Ning, this is our clan leader Min Wen."

Ning Ning nodded and greeted her, but she sucked her cheek and looked at Ning Ning, not seeming very satisfied, "So thin..."

Ning Ning: ...I am speechless, please don’t disturb me.

The original body was probably about 1.8 meters tall, with a medium build. At least in Ning Ning's opinion, he was definitely not thin. What is your criteria for judgment?

"Okay, just take him for a walk. The ancestor worship is coming up, so you'd better not run around."

"Yes, Chief, we will go back now."

Min Wen seemed to have great prestige. As soon as she spoke, Jinghua immediately obeyed and took Ning Ning back.

On the way back, Ning Ning looked at a building a little further away and asked Jing Hua, "What is that place?"

There was a room there with gray brick walls, very small windows and a locked door. I didn't know what it was used for.

"Nothing. In the past, we would catch live prey in the mountains and keep them there. When they were tamed, we would bring them back home. But now there are fewer and fewer prey, and they are no longer useful."

As she spoke, she moved closer and closer to Ning Ning, almost leaning over to his ear, and said to him in a very soft voice, "Go quickly. Find a way... Go quickly."

"What are you guys doing?!"
