Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Accident
Tang Chuxia almost didn’t get her back broken.
But seeing Tang Jianzheng’s serious expression, Tang Chuxia instinctively learned to spit three times.
She was really at a loss for words.
A soldier brother actually believed in such superstitious talk, it really left her speechless.
The key was that the entire Tang Family was staring at Tang Chuxia.
Tang Chuxia immediately said, “I was just talking nonsense, don’t be so serious!”
Tang Jianbing yelled, “Tang Chuxia, don’t think that just because I’m about to go abroad, you can stir up trouble. Don’t forget, once I leave, you are the only one left to look after our parents!”
Tang Chuxia: …
She actually didn’t need to have such high expectations placed on her.
Tang Chuxia calculated that once Jianbing left, it seemed that she would indeed be the only one consistently at home with the old couple. If something were to happen to her, would the scenario described in the book still occur?
Tang Chuxia sighed and then said, “I understand, I am the youngest at home, and I must take on the responsibility of caring for our parents!”
After she spoke, Madam Tang playfully scolded, “We are not yet so old and helpless that we need your care! Just don’t cause trouble every day and give me headaches!”
Tang Chuxia hugged Madam Tang’s arm, “How could I? I am just a little lazy, I still depend on mom to take care of me to survive!”
Madam Tang tapped her forehead.
That seemed to settle the matter.
That evening, everyone gathered and talked a lot about their childhood memories. Tang Chuxia rarely participated, and even if she did, it was in a playful way.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go along with it; it’s just that those experiences belonged to the original owner, not Tang Chuxia, and she didn’t want the Tang Family to forget that girl from their memories.
The entire family was deliberately overlooking the changes in Tang Chuxia.
They were all astute, and Tang Chuxia could feel their yearning for the girl they once knew.
Late at night, Tang Chuxia returned to her own courtyard. No matter how Gu Beihuai tried to amuse her, Tang Chuxia was listless.
Tang Chuxia held Gu Beihuai’s hand, “If something really happens to me tomorrow, you can open this box. But if nothing happens, you must not touch it, it’s all my treasures!”
Tang Chuxia handed a wooden box to Gu Beihuai, whose face turned grim.
“I don’t want it! You just stay safe and sound at home. I don’t believe anything bad will happen when I am watching over you.”
Tang Chuxia was just being cautious.
After all, she didn’t have too many ties in this world, and everything now had its own trajectory.
But before she could say much more, Gu Beihuai kissed her, and that night, he truly feared that Tang Chuxia would have the energy to go out the next day, so he kept her busy all night.
Only when the rooster crowed did they finally fall into a deep sleep.
Tang Chuxia was speechless, truly filled with complaints about Gu Beihuai.
Even if she wanted to avoid the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it didn’t mean he should make her sleep all day.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Tang Family were all very tense.
Madam Tang also asked her four sons a question for the first time, “Did you already sense that something was off?”
All four sons kept silent.
Madam Tang didn’t urge them but shared her own feelings, “Xiaxia has changed too much!”
With just that phrase, the four sons were even more silent.
“I know you all have your suspicions, but she is Xiaxia!”
Madam Tang sighed, “I gave birth to her; I know she is Xiaxia! It’s just that her character has changed!”
Tang Jianguo was the first to speak, “Mom, we understand what you mean, Xiaxia is Xiaxia!”
That was the only thing he could say.
Madam Tang massaged her temples, “Since all of you still remember that Xiaxia is your sister, then keep a close eye on her. Don’t let her out of your sight today no matter what!”
The four Tang brothers assured that they would indeed do so.
However, the deeply sleeping Tang Chuxia had no idea what awaited her.
And when she woke up, she didn’t plan to go out, not going out wouldn’t matter much but it would certainly give her family some peace of mind, so she simply didn’t even change out of her home clothes and chatted with her brothers at home.
As the night fell, everyone thought nothing would happen, and after dinner, they all decided to play cards.
Tang Chuxia, who liked lively atmospheres, of course would not be absent.
In the middle of it, Tang Chuxia went to the restroom once but took a bit longer than usual.
“Where’s Xiaxia?”
The younger brother looked around and, not seeing her, asked Gu Beihuai.
Gu Beihuai said, “She went to the restroom!”
Gu Nanzhi said, “That’s not right, I just came from the restroom and didn’t see her there!”
Madam Tang asked, “Did she go back to your little courtyard? There are a lot of people at home today and not enough restrooms!”
At this point, everyone began to have some bad guesses.
Gu Beihuai rushed to find Tang Chuxia first; however, there was no sign of Tang Chuxia in his own courtyard or in the restroom. Then he checked the Gu Family’s place and even the public restrooms outside, but there was no sign of Tang Chuxia.
Only then did everyone realize the severity of the situation, Tang Chuxia had disappeared right under their noses.
How could this happen?
The faces of the four Tang brothers instantly changed, none of them had noticed the crisis, yet she had just disappeared.
Where is she?
Could something have happened to Tang Chuxia?
Soon, everyone remembered the old Taoist’s words about Tang Chuxia facing a death trial today.
Gu Beihuai was also extremely frightened; he could not imagine how he would live if he lost Tang Chuxia.
Although their relationship had started with a deception about appearances, in the process, he had fallen deeply in love.
While everyone frantically searched for Tang Chuxia, where had she actually gone?
At this moment, Tang Chuxia was also quite frustrated.
She had just finished using the restroom and hadn’t managed to fix her belt when someone had ambushed her, carrying her off as limply as a noodle.
Tang Chuxia was extremely annoyed.
She couldn’t speak, but at the very least, they could have fastened her belt.
During the bumpy escape, she was worried that her belt would break, exposing her embarrassingly.
Who knew, in such a dangerous time, Tang Chuxia would only be worried about her belt.
Perhaps because she had mentally prepared for such situations, Tang Chuxia remained calm when the problem arose, though she suspected something was wrong with her nose.
Because she smelt a familiar scent, but couldn’t quite confirm it.
The person taking her away knew the city’s routes extremely well, moving her so effortlessly that no flaws were exposed.
Tang Chuxia felt helpless.
She didn’t understand; was this supposed to be her death trial?
Wasn’t a real death trial supposed to involve being killed?
Actually, she was curious, if she died, could she return to her own time and space?
But now, she was even more curious about what the person taking her intended to do.
After reaching the destination, the person finally spoke, “Aren’t you even a little curious?”
