Chapter 629: Chapter 627 Design 11_1

"Don’t worry, before he has a chance to dissect me, I’ll definitely chop him up first! I can really fight!" Xia Ningxing huffed.

The Mad Uncle’s mind suddenly filled with images, and he couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh.

After walking for more than an hour, Xia Ningxing finally led the Mad Uncle out of the tunnel, and then they entered the sewer.

Another half-hour passed before the two of them finally emerged.

The outside world was pitch-black, the swaying tree canopies with their gnarled branches looked incredibly eerie, but Xia Ningxing and the Mad Uncle felt the breath of freedom.

Moreover, Xia Ningxing discovered that the exit was very close to the Ning Family.

"Uncle, the poison in your body hasn’t been completely cleared, and your memory hasn’t recovered. Stay with me at the Ning Family to recuperate for the time being. Once you’re better and your memory is back, you can make other plans. How does that sound?" Xia Ningxing suggested.

Although this arrangement was the best, Xia Ningxing still left the decision to him.

The Mad Uncle didn’t even think before nodding, "Miss Xia, I’ll do as you say."

"Alright." Xia Ningxing responded.

Then, the Mad Uncle seemed a bit puzzled, "By the way, girl, what place is this Ning Family? Why does it sound so familiar?"

It was as if he had heard of it before or had been there!

"Uncle, the Ning Family is a famous Traditional Medicine Family in Star Shine. Everyone from eighty or ninety-year-old seniors to children of just a few years knows about it. You must have heard of it before, so it’s normal that it sounds familiar to you now," Xia Ningxing didn’t find it surprising and explained.

"I see..." The Mad Uncle furrowed his now non-existent eyebrows, feeling that his familiarity with the Ning Family wasn’t just for this reason, but for the life of him, he couldn’t remember why.

The Ning Family.

Xia Ningxing returned quietly and without notice.

The reason for her silence was that she wanted to play a trick on Ning Mo and the others to see how they planned to react next.

She first went to Mrs. Xia Ning’s room.

Mrs. Xia Ning hadn’t slept, fretting over not having found Xia Ningxing yet.

Lu Tingli, Mrs. Xia, and others were also gathered together, discussing plans to find Xia Ningxing.

"Mom! Master! Lu!" Xia Ningxing pushed open the door, calling out to everyone.

"Bao’er!"

"Ningxing!"

Everyone answered instinctively and lifted their heads. At first, they thought they were hallucinating due to their longing, but when they saw that the person before them was indeed Xia Ningxing, they first felt ecstatic, and then they all rushed over to hug her.

However, the first person to embrace Xia Ningxing was Lu Tingli.

"Ningxing!" he called again, his voice full of excitement.

Although he had guessed she was not dead, seeing her safe and sound upon her return finally allowed his heart that hung in his throat to settle back down.

"Lu, sorry for making you worry," Xia Ningxing hugged him tightly with guilt and also turned to the others, "Sorry for making everyone worry."

The incident happened so suddenly, she had no chance to leave any clues for them, causing them to worry for so long.

"Bao’er, what on earth happened?" Mrs. Xia tearfully took her hand and asked.

Xia Ningxing briefly recounted what had transpired.

After listening, Mrs. Xia quickly shook her head, "You child, why apologize? It’s not like you disappeared on purpose, it’s not your fault."

Lu Tingli also affirmed, "Mom’s right, it’s not your fault."

"This Ning Jian really is a beast worse than a pig or a dog!" Mrs. Xia Ning was so angry she wished she could tear him limb from limb.

However, just then, someone’s stomach growled with a "gurgle," exceptionally loud.

"Bao’er, are you hungry?" Mrs. Xia thought it was Xia Ningxing and asked instinctively.

"It wasn’t me," Xia Ningxing shook her head.

Although she had been kidnapped, she was well fed every day, especially knowing that she would escape tonight, she had made sure to eat her fill.

"Then whose stomach is growling?" Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other.

Could it be Chuanchuan?

But Chuanchuan was sleeping soundly in the cradle.

"It’s me..." At this time, Mad Uncle, who had been ignored for a long time, timidly raised his hand.

It was so awkward that he couldn’t help but cough lightly to give himself a meek presence.

Only then did Mrs. Xia and the others notice a dirty man beside Xia Ningxing, emitting a foul stench.

His hair and beard were so long that they completely covered his face, making it impossible to see, and his figure was hunched, his back bent as if he were very old.

Upon seeing him, Mrs. Xia asked subconsciously, "Who is this gentleman?"

Could he be a beggar her daughter had casually saved?

Xia Ningxing quickly interjected, "Master, it’s like this..."

She briefly explained the situation to her.

After listening, a look of gratitude appeared on Mrs. Xia’s face, "My dear brother, thank you so much for escaping with Xingxing."

With that, she reached out her hand without any disgust, intending to shake his hand.

Mad Uncle looked at those slender, fair hands, then lifted his head to look at the woman in front of him, feeling as though he had seen her somewhere before.

He furrowed his brow and tried hard to think.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find any trace of recognition in his mind.

"Uncle?" Seeing him spacing out, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but remind him.

Mad Uncle then came to his senses, quickly lowered his head, and brushed his long hair with his hand, as if afraid of scaring the person in front of him, "No need to be polite, if it hadn’t been for Miss Xia, I probably wouldn’t have been able to escape myself, so I should be the one thanking you."

"As for shaking hands, let’s forget it. My hands are too dirty; they will soil yours."

His voice was hoarse and low, like the grating sound of a chair scraping across the floor.

His throat had also been affected by the poison, so the sound was not only unrecognizable from before, but also very unpleasant to hear.

"It’s no problem," Mrs. Xia still shook his hand in the end.

Just when she was about to let go...

Mrs. Xia froze.

These hands gave her the feeling of her husband who had died many years before.

So warm, so familiar!

"May I ask your name?" Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but ask excitedly.

Mad Uncle immediately showed a troubled expression.

Xia Ningxing quickly reminded her, "Master, didn’t I just say it? Uncle has lost his memory; he doesn’t know his own name at all."

"Sorry..." A flash of disappointment crossed Mrs. Xia’s eyes, but she quickly recovered to her normal self, slapping the back of her head, "I apologize, I forgot."

"It’s alright," Mad Uncle said in a low voice, carefully enunciating as if afraid to wake the sleeping Chuanchuan inside the house.

Xia Ningxing continued, "Master, please arrange a guest room for Uncle in secret. I plan to treat him."

"No problem," Mrs. Xia agreed.
