Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Drowning (7)_1

There were still quite a few children in the area, but witnessing this scene, none dared to come forward and help. The Ruan Family’s kids were too rogue-like, they wouldn’t dare.

Of course, at this time, instead of looking at Ruan Jiaojiao, everyone was focused on Wa Yiting. Naturally, no one noticed how chilling Xiu Xi’s eyes were as he watched Wa Yiting; his gaze was no different from that which one would fix a dead person with.

After scolding Wa Yiting, Ruan Hao cautiously picked up Ruan Jiaojiao from the ground. The brothers couldn’t even care about the fish any longer; they all hurried towards home.

Ruan Jiaojiao wept incessantly. Ruan Jun thought she had been frightened, so on the way back, the older brothers took turns holding her, gently coaxing her now and then.

Except, Ruan Jiaojiao could no longer hear their words of comfort. In her line of sight were the very things she saw when she’d been unconscious.

When Ruan Qun died, she had seen him following someone into a secluded spot where he was then surrounded and attacked by a group of snakes. The person who led him there coolly observed from the sidelines...

And just now, when she regained consciousness, she saw the same person standing on the shore as Ruan Chi drowned...

That person was—Ruan Jiaojiao herself!

Ruan Jiaojiao, she had been at the scenes of both Ruan Qun and Ruan Chi’s deaths!

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t understand why this was happening and she dared not think deeper about what it all meant!

She even suspected whether she was coldly watching from not far away when the Ruanlin Family passed away?

But why?

Why would she do this?

The Ruanlin Family, Ruan Chi, Ruan Qun, they were all her family who loved her dearly. Why would she do this?

And the subsequent deaths of other Ruan Family members... Ruan Jiaojiao dared not think, she really dared not think.

She felt as if she had fallen into a deep abyss, unable to climb back up ever again.

Even though it was still midday, she felt an overwhelming chill, cold to the bone and shivering in Ruan Hao’s embrace, her teeth chattering while her complexion turned pale as death.

Ruan Hao quickened his pace, nearly sprinting home.

They had run back via a small trail and had not attracted anyone’s attention along the way, but once they reached the Ruan Family’s doorstep, they encountered Liu Mei.

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao being carried back, Liu Mei’s eyes flashed and she couldn’t help but smirk as she strutted over, blocking Ruan Hao’s path. She glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao cradled in his arms with an expression of feigned surprise, "Oh my, what happened here? You look so pale and wet. Did you fall into a ditch, or what...?"

"Get out of the way!" Ruan Hao’s face was ghastly; his sister was still trembling in his arms, clearly something was terribly wrong. And here was Liu Mei, blocking their way at a time like this, which completely tore through his nobleman’s mask of elegance, his voice brimming with fury.

The rest of the group felt the same way, furiously glaring at her.

Suddenly being stared down by so many pairs of eyes, Liu Mei’s heart skipped a beat. But to back down in front of several young boys felt like losing face to her. Just as she was about to make another sarcastic remark, she met Xiu Xi’s deeply green eyes that seemed bottomless, and she was startled, feeling her hairs stand on end all over again. This time, she was too frightened to say anything more and stepped aside, sheepishly making way.

Ruan Hao carried Ruan Jiaojiao into the courtyard, followed by the other young boys who cried out as they entered, but no one came out to meet them from within the house. They then remembered the Ruanlin Family was in the building at the village head.

"Ruan Jie, go ahead and call Nanny. Ruan Feng, go to the end of the village and get Doctor Lu. Ruan Lei, get some hot water boiling! Hurry!" Ruan Jun directed. Meanwhile, he flung the covers on the bed aside, not caring whether they were clean or dirty, bundled up Ruan Jiaojiao, and held her tightly in his arms.
