"Aunt Li, what are you looking at?" Su Qingyu followed Mother Li's gaze and found that the inner chamber of the Li family's mansion was lit with lights, and there was a vague figure inside.
"It's nothing." Mother Li suddenly stood up, stretched out her hand to push Su Qingyu, urging her to leave quickly, "It's getting dark soon, you should leave quickly and find a house to live in."
In the mountains, it gets dark quickly, and the sky is gray, as if covered by a thin layer of smoke.
The air is filled with the moist, dull smell of impending rain, which makes people feel suffocated.
The leaves were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.
The old black dog Su Qingyu held in his arms began to tremble. Sensing the black dog's uneasiness, Su Qingyu gently stroked the dog's back.
When Su Qingyu was asking questions just now, Shen Sinian stood quietly and listened. After the conversation was over, Shen Sinian asked: "Aunt Li, where will we stay tonight?"
"It's almost o'clock, Mrs. Zhang will come to pick you up soon."
As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang walked over slowly along the path with a hunched back and a cane in her hand.
"Two guests, please come with me." Mrs. Zhang's silver hair was neatly combed, and her wrinkled face was smiling. "Yesterday, you went up the mountain too late, and the two empty rooms were too late. There was no time to clean up, the environment was too bad, and the two guests were wronged."
Shen Sinian shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Grandma Zhang, don't be so polite, you had a good stay last night.
Although Qingyu and I have always lived in the city, we have always yearned for rural life. Living in an adobe house in the countryside is very interesting. "
Mrs. Zhang's skin was as dry as the bark of a mulberry tree. There was a strange light in her eyes. She grinned and said, "In that case, you can stay in those two rooms tonight."
Shen Sinian nodded.
He felt that the new location meant new dangers.
Compared to the unfamiliar house at the entrance of the village, the adobe house where he had lived for one night made him feel more secure.
Su Qingyu frowned and refused: "Tonight, I want to live near the entrance of the village. Please ask Grandma Zhang to send me down the mountain."
【Gongyang Village】Rule 1.
[If you stay overnight in the village, please try to stay in a house near the entrance of the village and choose a house with dogs. If you choose to stay overnight in a hilltop house, be sure to close the doors and windows and make no noise after midnight. 】
Follow the rules to be safe.
Last night, I chose to spend the night on the top of the mountain because I didn't find the rules.
Tonight, Su Qingyu had a choice, so she would naturally choose the optimal solution provided in the rules.
Shen Sinian said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about?"
"I've made it very clear."
"Didn't we discuss this matter before?" Shen Sinian felt that Su Qingyu was a little unreasonable, "I said I won't harm you. I will protect you if I live on the top of the mountain."
"We discussed it, but we didn't see eye to eye."
There was a disagreement. Why did Shen Sinian think Su Qingyu would give in?
Shen Sinian's deep eyes widened slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said in disbelief: "Su Qingyu, we can't separate!"
The old lady Zhang also giggled. She staggered like a tumbler when she walked, and her voice was sometimes hoarse and sometimes sharp: "You are young lovers. One lives on the mountain and the other lives at the entrance of the village. They are too far away.
Why don't you listen to your boyfriend and live on the top of the mountain? I'm too old to bother running up and down. "
"I want to live at the entrance of the village." Su Qingyu took out eight hundred coins and put the coins into Mrs. Zhang's hand with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang's hand skin was wrinkled and clinging to the bones, resembling sharp claws. When she saw the Ming coins, she smiled brightly, and there was a bit of sincerity in her weird smile: "Oh, I can't help it."
She said her words of rejection, but put the Ming coins into her pocket.
After accepting the Ming coins, Mrs. Zhang became more friendly: "When Nana was in the village, she often mentioned you and said you were very annoying. When I saw you today, I also liked you very much.
It is said that the more people exercise, the younger they look. I will send you down the mountain now, just in time to stretch your muscles. "
Shen Sinian pointed at himself in disbelief and asked, "What about me?"
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "I went there last night, you should know the way.
You can wait for me to lead the way, or you can go back by yourself. "
By the time Mrs. Zhang came back after seeing Su Qingyu off, it would already be dark.
Gongyang Village is very dangerous at night.
Shen Sinian was speechless.
"Grandma Zhang, I have a few words that I want to say to my boyfriend. Please wait here."
"Let's go. To make a long story short, we have to go down the mountain." Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, then looked up at the gloomy sky.
"Let's break up." Su Qingyu said.
"What did you say?" Shen Sinian doubted his ears, he lowered his voice and held back his anger, "You are simply looking for death!
Just because I don't want to find someone to live at the entrance of the village, are you going to act like this?
On the first night, we just stayed on the mountain. Didn’t we live in peace all night? If you are really scared, we can stay under the same roof tonight. "
Su Qingyu shook her head gently, the cold and wet wind blew her hair, her eyes were gentle and firm: "I can't convince you, and you can't convince me."
"Don't forget, the rules you got at the beginning..." Shen Sinian just thought Su Qingyu was showing off her temper.
Su Qingyu interrupted him and continued: "The boyfriend's name was not mentioned in the invitation, and the rules only required that you and your boyfriend attend Li Nana's wedding on time.
Your boyfriend is just an identity, it can be you or someone else. "
Shen Sinian's brows were furrowed, his eyes became stern, and his heart was filled with anger. He said in a low and powerful voice: "You are such a poor woman!
It is really unwise to get angry in a dangerous dungeon! If you break up with me now, can you guarantee to find a boyfriend immediately and attend the wedding before Li Nana comes back? "
"You don't have to worry about it." Su Qingyu turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" Shen Sinian clenched his fingers into fists, his knuckles turning white, as if he was suppressing the anger surging in his heart.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he lowered his voice and coaxed Su Qingyu: "Stop making trouble, I will follow you this time and live with you at the entrance of the village.
But it’s just this once, it won’t happen next time.
A woman's small works can make her happy, but her big works can hurt her feelings. "
Su Qingyu stood there, creating a scene of her own. The noise and turmoil around her could not disturb her heart. She had a picturesque look on her face and always maintained a calm and calm look.
"Shen Sinian, I am not discussing with you, I am unilaterally notifying you that we are breaking up.
You and I are not on the same journey. "
Since it's a different path, why bother?
Rather than wait until the contradictory rules are exposed and they turn against each other again, it is better to cut off from now on and find a way out.
