While the driver was emptying water in the alley, Lin Shu got off the ox cart and followed the twists and turns along the street until he finally arrived at Zhao's shop.
I jumped into the back door of the store. It was dark inside and there was no sound at all.
She poked a small hole in the window, and there was no one on the bed.
Lin Shu jumped up to the wall and heard voices coming from outside the door.
He paused before leaving and carefully crouched down.
"Okay, let's all go back. It's not easy for everyone today. Take the money and settle down for a few days."
"Thank you, sis!"
"Thank you, sis!"
"Well, it's all gone."
Lin Shu squinted his eyes, walked quietly to the darkness, and looked at the person below who was staggering as he walked.
Silently, he pulled out the kitchen knife stuck in his waist and rushed down when Zhao Ping entered and closed the door.
Zhao Ping shook her body and ate some peanuts as she walked, "Her uncle, why is it so cold?"
A chill rose up from his spine, and Lin Shu quickly took a few steps back.
A long sword was already pressed against her neck, and the cold touch instantly gave rise to goosebumps.
She glanced at the sharp sword blade, then raised her eyes to look at the man holding the sword. Both of them were hidden in the shadows.
A knight or a guard?
The two of them didn't speak, and looked at each other coldly.
Below, Zhao Ping lit an oil lamp, sat in a rocking chair, caught the dropped peanuts with her mouth, and sang an unpleasant ditty, somewhat leisurely.
Lin Shu didn't dare to be careless. The person in front of her was obviously more skilled than her, but he still didn't take action. This was weird.
She looked at the people in the yard with her peripheral vision, and a thought flashed through her mind.
Could this person be afraid of her?
Lin Shu tightened his palms.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Zhao Ping below stood up, holding on to the stone table, beating her chest crazily, and extending her hand to her mouth.
Thinking that he was stuck on peanuts, Lin Shu curled his lips. It seemed that evil was rewarded.
The man holding the sword sheathed his sword and was about to go down, but Lin Shu stopped her.
Although the person in front of him was highly skilled in martial arts, he did not harm Lin Shu, he only neutralized her moves.
"Stop, I'm going to save people."
Lin Shu kicked her sword, "You are allowed to stop me, but I am not allowed to stop you?"
"Do you know who I am?"
Lin Shu looked at Zhao Ping, whose face was purple, and replied happily: "I don't care who you are."
Xu Chunhuan was so angry that he had already told someone to keep an eye on Zhao Ping. Unexpectedly, he just had diarrhea and someone came.
"Who do you belong to?"
Lin Shu frowned and ran away. He was probably involved in some dispute!
The man didn't chase her either. He carried Zhao Ping and went to the hospital. Unfortunately, he went too late and couldn't save her.
Lin Shu wandered around the city all night, sometimes hiding in a water tank and sometimes hiding in a chicken shed. Fortunately, he had applied plant ashes when he came up last night, otherwise he would be remembered for his face.
She stayed up until early morning and saw that the street was as usual. She went to buy a new set of clothes and changed into them. She also went to the medical center to buy some medicine for injuries, and then left the city.
…
Shen Shi'an woke up to the scent of lotus. He opened his eyes, carefully picked up the lotus and placed it under the tip of his nose.
"smell good……"
These are the lotus flowers placed on the oxcart yesterday, brought back by Miss Lin!
He quickly got up and washed himself, found a bamboo tube, filled it with some water, and carefully put the lotus flowers in it.
"Miss Lin should not be angry with me anymore..."
Shen Shi'an reached out and touched the petals. He thought of the hand holding when he came back last night again and curled his mouth.
Not long after, she felt a little disappointed again. Miss Lin said that he didn't love her...
Irritability…
When the cockcrow sounded, Shen Shi'an looked at the vegetables in the yard, got up and walked to the next door. Hesitating again and again, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Miss Lin, are you not selling vegetables today?"
Yesterday I heard from Su Xin that Miss Lin signed a contract with a restaurant and was going to deliver food this morning...
He asked Ah Da and Ah Er to carry the vegetables onto the bullock cart and tie them up, and then went to the kitchen to pack the steamed buns.
Came to the door again, "Miss Lin, are you awake?"
Su Xin dazedly touched the place next to him. It was cold and cold. Apparently he had already gotten up.
He lifted the quilt, saw a smile in Lotus's eyes, and opened the door.
"Brother An, my wife should have gotten up early. Are you looking for her?"
Shen Shian panicked and glanced at the house. There was indeed no one inside.
"Brother Xing, Miss Lin's food hasn't been delivered yet, but she's missing. There's something wrong."
Su Xin heard this and saw the oxen and oxcarts waving their tails at the door.
"This...my wife and I slept together last night...how could it be..."
The wife would talk to one of them every day when she went out.
Usually at this time, the wife has already set off in an ox cart...
Shen Shi'an pursed his lips and felt worried. Seeing that Su Xin was confused, he said, "Don't panic, I'll go to the second aunt's house to have a look."
"Then I'll go check out the fish ponds and fields."
"good."
Shen Shi'an put the bag down casually, and the two of them ran out of the yard quickly.
Lin Shu went home in the morning fog, and when he arrived, he saw two people going out in a panic.
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Su Xin: "My wife!"
Shen Shi'an: "Miss Lin!"
Su Xin ran quickly towards Lin Shu, but her steps were messed up and she almost tripped.
Lin Shu stepped forward to catch him, "Why are you so anxious? I almost fell."
Su Xin pulled her to look left and right. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, her worried face showed a smile, "We are worried about the wife. We didn't see you early in the morning and we were about to look for you."
Lin Shu gently touched his head and handed him the medicine in his hand.
"It's okay. I just went to check out the fish pond. I'm afraid the water has been filled these past few days."
"You guys go back, I'm going to deliver the food."
Shen Shian felt a little sore, and Miss Lin didn't even look at him...
Hearing Lin Shu's words, he quickly ran into the house, picked up the bag and put it on the bullock cart.
"Miss Lin, these are steamed buns, remember to eat them."
Lin Shu got on the bullock cart and started to set off, "I understand, you can go back to the house."
Su Xin waved her hand, "We are waiting for the wife to come back!"
The two of them turned around and entered the yard until they could no longer see the shadow of the bullock cart.
"Brother An, this is medicine for your injury. Let me help you apply it."
Shen Shi'an looked at the bottle of medicine for injuries. Did Miss Lin buy medicine for him early in the morning?
No wonder she even changed her clothes, and the hem of her clothes was still wet.
It should have been soaked by the dew on the grass on the road...
He touched the very shallow scar on his neck, feeling sweet in his heart.
Miss Lin still misses him...
"Okay, thank you Brother Xing."
…
Lin Shu drove the bullock cart to the back door of Huanxi Restaurant and helped people deliver the dishes inside.
"Boss Lin, there are four taels of silver in total. Please keep it."
Lin Shu took the silver and weighed it before putting it in his chest.
The man was not annoyed when he saw it, "Boss Lin, our shopkeeper invites you."
Lin Shu was a little surprised, "Housekeeper Xu? What does she want from me?"
"The younger one is just passing on a message and doesn't know."
"Then please help me take care of my bullock cart."
"Don't worry, Boss Lin."
