Liu Niang stood in the courtyard with her hands and feet tied up, looking lonely.
Xu Ling looked at her cruelly and urged the two children to quickly carry their valuables into the car and throw away the others if they couldn't take them away.
Nothing is more important than life!
But she was still a bitch, so she couldn't help but ask Liu Niang: "If you tell me this, what will you do when Wang Zhu wakes up?"
Although Liu Niang and Wang Zhu were in the same group, listening to her narration, it was clear that she was also a very miserable woman.
Liu Niang saw that he cared about her, so she forced a smile and said, "I have known him for many years, and we don't have any affection at all. He won't blame me."
Is it? Xu Ling didn't quite believe it, "Have you never thought of leaving him?"
"Brother Xu," Liu Niang gave him a resentful look, "you are a man, so you don't understand the suffering of us women. Where can I go if I leave him? It's just to find another man who is not as good as him and continue to suffer. lifetime."
Xu Ling said: "You can find a job to support yourself, why do you have to get married?"
Liu Niang was shocked, "Is Brother Xu just some young boy who has never seen the world? What he said is completely baseless. Don't you know that there is a lot of trouble in front of the widow? Without a man around, anyone can bully him. Which one is better for me, being bullied by one person or being bullied by many people?"
She was selling tea honestly at the tea shop, clearly not wanting to offend anyone. Those men looked at her as if they had never seen a woman in their eight hundred lives.
If Wang Zhu were not here, she would have been bullied in vain, and no one would seek justice for her. They might even call her a "bitch".
At this point, Liu Niang no longer wanted to say anything to Xu Ling. She looked back at Xu Ling, her skirt flying, just like the day they first met.
"Brother Xu, let's go."
Xu Ling was a little stunned. Don't try to persuade others to do good without suffering others' hardships.
Although she accepted the reality that she was dressed as a man and was determined to live according to the standards of a man, she still could not change her thoughts in her previous life, so that she treated people and things in this life with an incompatible innocence and stupidity.
If you think about it carefully, what Liu Niang said makes sense.
Xu Ling's thoughts turned over and over again, and he wanted to give the Qiuli ointment recipe to Liu Niang again.
If she learned how to make Qiuli ointment, she wouldn't have to live a hard life with Wang Zhu, right?
It's a pity that Liu Niang left too fast and had already returned home.
Xu Ling was afraid of disturbing Wang Zhu, so he thought of finding an excuse another day and asked someone to hand it over to Liu Niang.
He quickly packed up his things and left the tea shop courtyard with his younger brothers and sisters pushing their belongings.
He only rented the house here for one month, and now that more than half of the lease period has passed, the rest is in vain.
By the time Xu Ling went to Yahang to find Xiao Qi and another place to live, and settled everything, most of the day had passed.
The three brothers and sisters lay on the made bed, all breathing a sigh of relief.
It feels so good to have narrowly escaped death.
After this incident, Xu Ling didn't want to stay outside any longer. He just wanted to make enough money to go home.
I don't know if it was because of the impact this incident had on his outlook on life. Xu Ling felt a little uneasy all day long and almost lost his hand several times while peeling a pear.
Xu Ping and Xu An were also frightened, looking at the wilted ones.
Xu Ling simply put down his work and prepared to take the two children to a crowded market.
First, he took Xu Ping and Xu An to a clothing store, where each of them bought a pair of clean and thick clothes. Then he took them to a tile to listen to books, drink tea, and watch an acrobatic team perform monkeys and breathe fire.
Among them was a young girl, wearing a pink singlet with three-inch golden lotus flowers at her feet, performing bowling and juggling with a muscular man with his chest exposed.
Xu Ling couldn't help but think of Liu Niang again.
I don’t know if Wang Zhu blamed her after he woke up.
The three brothers and sisters had a meal of donkey meat noodle soup at a restaurant outside, and went home when it was almost dark.
They were renting a small shared courtyard this time. There were three families living in the square courtyard. One of them was a breakfast seller, and the other was an old scholar. I heard that he worked in a wealthy family. People become teachers.
The third household is Xu Ling's family who just moved here.
Xu Ling felt relieved after checking the doors and windows before going to bed at night and blocking them with wooden sticks.
I just tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Xu Ling was reflecting on what he had done recently.
First, his thoughts need to change, and he needs to remember at all times that this is an ignorant ancient time, not a society ruled by law, and he must remember the laws of the dark forest.
Secondly, you need to pay all kinds of attention when doing things. Don't put women in the vulnerable group and always want to take more care of them. He is a man now, not Xu Ling who cares about vulnerable sisters in modern society.
Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their door, and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles. You think she is a poor beautiful woman, but maybe she is Sun Erniang who runs a human meat bun shop.
He is not a secret agent or a miracle doctor, and this is not a game. He has only one life. There are seniors and juniors in the family, all relying on his little sapling. If he loses his life, it will be the family members who will suffer.
Don’t show off your wealth, be humble in everything, don’t be arrogant when you are in a high place, don’t lose your pride when you are in a low place, and most importantly, always remember to follow your heart.
Xu Ling tried hard to engrave these creeds in his bones, chanting them over and over again, and decided to put this matter behind him, make good money, and go home to live a happy life with his wife and children.
Then he let go of his anxiety and slowly fell asleep.
"Open the door! Is there a merchant here named Xu Ling!?"
Early in the morning, someone banged loudly and rudely on the door of the courtyard. The tenants in the courtyard went to open the door and saw three fierce-looking officers and soldiers with swords on their waists. They impatiently pushed the man away and broke into the courtyard.
"We are here to arrest the murderer Xu Ling, who is Xu Ling!?"
Behind them was Xiao Qi from Yaxing. Xiao Qi showed them the way with a flattering smile: "Three officials, Xu Ling rented this room."
After that, the three officers and soldiers went to knock on the door in a big way.
The other tenants in the courtyard also recognized Xiao Qi, and quickly pulled him aside and asked: "What happened? How did you provoke these deadly people!"
Xiao Qi shook his head secretly. He didn't know what was going on. Early in the morning, the Yahang steward and the Yamen servants found him and almost scared him out of his wits.
He thought he had committed something, but he actually asked him where a tenant named Xu Ling lived yesterday.
Xiao Qi also made inquiries along the way, and only heard that this Xu Ling seemed to have caused a murder and absconded due to guilt.
"Oh, why did you invite such a plague god to live here! Bodhisattva bless you! Don't involve us!"
"It's really bad luck. Let's go to Lingbao Temple tomorrow to burn incense and get rid of the bad luck!"
That compartment.
Xu Ling was woken up by the sound of someone knocking hard on the door. He pulled up his shoes and hurriedly opened the door. He just saw that the people who came were three official servants.
Then he was pushed to the ground and his neck was stuck.
I just heard the leading official say: "Xu Ling! You killed someone, we are ordered to arrest you!"
Xu Ling's cheek touched the ground, numb with pain, and his face was confused. Who did he kill?
