Chapter 29

There was a small frozen lake on the side of the road. Su Jingyang was afraid that he would be thrown into it after he finished asking, so he wrapped his hands and feet around him at the same time, his voice was a little louder, and he reassured: "I really just find it strange to ask I'm just asking, I'm not trying to tease you because I'm interested in you, don't think too much about it!"

Hearing this, Rong Ci kept his head slightly sideways and did not speak for a long time, the light snowflakes fluttered around, and some fluttered on his long eyelashes, melting into water droplets into his eyes, but he He didn't even move his eyelids, as if he had suddenly stopped.

Su Jingyang couldn't help but get nervous, he won't, won't he really be told by himself!!

Rong Ci closed his eyes for a moment, then turned his face away with a confused expression, and continued to walk steadily forward with his back behind his back, with a light voice: "Do you think I will like you?"

Su Jingyang has consciously understood this as a denial, he breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his hands and feet, leaned on his shoulder and said, "I don't think so, it's really good. Because if you really like it I won't be responsible for my words."

Rong Ci said, "Who said you were held responsible?"

Su Jingyang said with a puzzled expression: "What is your opinion, don't you need to be responsible for your feelings?"

Rong Ci said: "There are so many people who love me, are you responsible? Have you seen who I am responsible for? Oh, except for Yangyang."

Su Jingyang thought to himself, "Okay, then my worries are unnecessary." He thought of something, and quickly changed his words: "No, no, I mean if you like someone else, don't you expect others to be responsible for you? "

Rong Ci's dark pupils were bottomless, and the corners of his lips curled up in a manic voice: "The one who talks about being responsible, I haven't seen a few who can really be responsible for a lifetime. These are all lies, it's better to be happy every day. Confused about what to do.”

Hearing this, Su Jingyang sighed in surprise, "Yes, yes, you are very handsome." After a pause, Su Jingyang continued: "However, if you can say that, you probably haven't met someone you really like, and your real likes are all about it. If you are possessive, when you meet the right person, your views will definitely change, and you will not be as calm as you are now.”

Su Jingyang was even more relieved, this person was obviously really bored with him, it seemed that he really thought too much.

Rong Ci looked at the white expanse in the distance, and after a long time he said in a low voice: "It's still different from person to person, and act according to chance, otherwise it's too radical, and it's easy to do bad things."

Su Jingyang leaned on his shoulder and smiled, "It turns out that you have such deep thoughts in your mind, and you don't know which unlucky person will be attracted to you, and you will definitely not be able to escape from your palm!"

Rong Ci hummed inexplicably from his nose: "You're right."

After thinking about it, Su Jingyang couldn't help but ask him: "I still don't understand, why did you believe Murong as soon as he said it, and suddenly came to me? Now you are willing to carry me back, do you actually hate me as much as you say? , you already treat me as a friend?"

Rong Ci said quickly, "I don't have a friend like you."

"I'm like this? What's wrong with me like this?" Su Jingyang was unhappy. "Am I so bad? I'm not worthy of being your friend? Then why are you still backing me? If you are so disgusted, you can let me down."

Rong Ci raised his voice slightly: "Are you sure you want to come down?"

Su Jingyang looked up and recognized the way, and found that it was still far away, so he pretended that he hadn't said this, and continued to ask: "You didn't answer my question just now, you don't like me, and you don't treat me as a friend, so why would you run away? Come save me? Why?"

Rongci: "You have too many questions, and refuse to answer. Ask one more word from now on, and I'll leave you behind."

"..."

Rong Ci carried Su Jingyang back to Lingli's house. Su Jingyang asked him to go in for a cup of hot tea, but Rong Ci turned around and left after saying a word and went back to his house.

Su Jingyang went in and found that Rong Hua had already sent A Xuan to his house, and the three of them were roasting sweet potatoes around a brazier in the house, the aroma filling their nostrils.

From time to time, Ling Li, who was looking out the door, saw him come in, and hurriedly got up and went to get a dry towel to brush off the snow on him.

Ah Xuan happily ran over and hugged Su Jingyang's hand, as if he was afraid that he would freeze, and opened his mouth to exhale at his hand. Su Jingyang rubbed his little head, picked him up and kissed him. Ah Xuan leaned on his shoulder, "I miss you, uncle."

Su Jingyang asked, "Where are you thinking?" Ah Xuan pointed to his heart, blinking his black and white eyes and said softly, "Here."

Su Jingyang suddenly felt sore in his eyes, and hugged him tightly in his arms, feeling a mess in his heart. One of the reasons for what Ah Xuan said was thoughtful, but more because he noticed that Ah Xuan's return this time was much more effective than the first time. Much smoother. This kind of better and better sign made Su Jingyang feel very grateful and excited.

Rong Hua stood up and looked outside, then turned his head and asked Su Jingyang very puzzled: "Didn't you come back with A Yi? What about the others? Why didn't you come in?"

Only then did Su Jingyang remember to ask her, "Murong, why are you lying to Ayi?"

Rong Hua flickered his eyes, stared at him quietly for a moment, hooked the red hairband that was hanging between his black hair and twisted it, and replied with a bright smile: "It's fun!"

Su Jingyang was speechless for a while. Rong Hua quickly changed the subject and asked him how he was going today. Su Jingyang told the truth that Rong Hua didn't have a big reaction. Ling Li was obviously shocked by Hao Jiasheng's death and resurrection. After hearing Hao Jiasheng's proof of Su Jingyang's innocence , he let out a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

After he was relieved, he instructed Rong Hua to stay for dinner, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements. Ah Xuan was crooked in Su Jingyang's arms and refused to come down. Su Jingyang hugged and sat down by the brazier.

Rong Hua approached and asked him, "What, Ayi ran to save you, are you moved?"

Su Jingyang was immersed in the smell of roasted sweet potatoes, and was secretly swallowing saliva. Hearing Rong Hua's question, Su Jingyang reacted somewhat, narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously, "Murong, you won't...you're matching us. The two of you, right?" This worried look is really similar to when he set up A Yi and Ling Li at the time!

Rong Hua nodded calmly, "Yes, yes, I think he likes you very much, but he refuses to say it."

"What did he say..." Su Jingyang recalled forcefully, before reminding Rong Hua with a serious face: "He said, 'If you stupid brain dares to match me up again, just chop it up yourself. Now, feed it to the pigs', you better stop, be careful if he notices and scolds him more fiercely!"

Rong Hua: "..."

Su Jingyang raised his finger to wipe off the saliva from the corner of Ah Xuan's mouth, pulled a hot sweet potato out of the brazier with iron tongs, wrapped it in something, and peeled it for him to eat.

"He also admitted that he doesn't like me, I'm not even a friend." Su Jingyang muttered.

Rong Hua pinched his eyebrows, as if he was very troubled.

Su Jingyang didn't seem to care much about this topic, and concentrated on feeding Ah Xuan. Rong Hua got up, looked at him again, and said to go to the next door first, then a red shadow flashed, and Su Jingyang turned his head again. No one saw her when she came.

Rong Ci didn't come to dinner with Rong Hua that day. He didn't see his people until Su Jingyang returned the chicken the next day. , took the chicken and threw it into the yard, then closed the door.

After that day, Su Jingyang didn't see Rong Ci for several days, and heard Rong Hua say that his family had something to go back to Rongcheng. Su Jingyang asked a lot, and Rong Hua said that his mother was making a fuss again, and he rushed back to deal with it. Rong Hua said vaguely, probably because there was something hidden, so Su Jingyang didn't ask any further questions.

Because the road was too slippery, the Lin Kee Restaurant was closed for a while, and they didn't go until the sun began to melt.

Su Jingyang heard the chatter of the guests at the counter and learned that Mrs. Hao had passed away. Hao Jiasheng simply held a funeral and sold the house, as if planning to leave the town.

Su Jingyang was listening to them, and his eyes glanced inadvertently. It was a coincidence that he just saw Hao Jiasheng who was carrying a bag and bought dry food not far away and was about to get into the carriage and leave.

Seemingly aware of the sight here, he paused for a moment, and suddenly looked towards this side without any expression, Su Jingyang did not expect that he would turn his head, his hand trembled, and the seeds almost fell.

In the past, this guy was laughing and joking, but Su Jingyang, who suddenly had a deep face, was not used to it. It seems that it is as the doctor said, he should be enlightened.

Rong Hua ran from the back kitchen, leaned against the counter and grabbed his paws, while squatting while looking over Su Jingyang's line of sight, he happened to see Hao Jiasheng turning his face back with frosty eyebrows and getting into the carriage, stunned for a while. , and then asked Su Jingyang: "Who, do you take it so seriously?"

"It's that Hao Jiasheng who came back to life."

Rong Hua was not too interested, then he took his eyes back and continued eating melon seeds. Su Jingyang turned to look at the backyard and asked Rong Hua, "Who was Li talking to there just now?"

Rong Hua put the peeled melon seeds on the counter into a "hum", and said in his mouth, "It's the one who collects swill. She's five or six months pregnant, and she's still out to work in the cold weather. She was almost hungry just now. When he fainted, A Li asked him to sit in the back kitchen and eat something warm."

Su Jingyang nodded clearly, "That's it."

This swill collector is called Xiang Cao. He is a two-person, rather taciturn. Every time he comes, he nods his head to say hello, and seldom speaks. But Su Jingyang had heard of his tragic situation.

Xiang Cao is a child bride. He has a lazy husband and an evil mother-in-law. He has had children since he was fourteen years old, and now he is almost thirty years old. He has given birth to a total of ten children, most of whom are born within three days. It will be sold by the mother-in-law, and now there are two sons left at home to protect the blood, and a defective daughter who cannot be sold. I heard that Xiangcao's two sons were instigated by the family, and they were very angry, and they would beat and scold Xiangcao and the handicapped sister at every turn, and they didn't treat him like a human at all. When his mother-in-law was full, she would pick her teeth and bask in the sun, or chew her lips, or sleep at home, waiting for Xiangcao to finish her work and go home to work, and she lived a very leisurely life. Xiangcao's husband has nothing to do. He relies on Xiangcao to make money to drink a little wine. After drinking, he likes to go crazy. If he disagrees, he goes home and beats Xiangcao. Xiangcao's face is often covered with old wounds. Not gone, new injuries continue. But no one has heard him cry of pain, and no one has heard him complain, he seems to be numb.

Su Jingyang felt that he was really pitiful. Now that he was pregnant, he had to continue to work, and he was forced to give birth to a son, just because the price of having a son would be several times more expensive. Moreover, the laws of this dynasty are not perfect in this regard, and the government will not control it.

Su Jingyang has no position to accuse him of being submissive, and scolding him for not resisting, because after some things have been instilled in you since childhood, it is really difficult to correct them. It was common in his era, not to mention this time and space.

Lingli went back that night to pack up some old clothes that Ah Xuan couldn't wear, folded them, and packed them together with a bundle, ready to bring them to Xiangcao's daughter to wear, but the next day he waited and waited for him to come, and listened later. It was said that they found out that he was beaten to a miscarriage and that the child was gone. Ling Li was holding the pile of clothes with a sad expression on his face, and Su Jingyang also sighed in disappointment for a while, what the hell are these people!

At the end of work that night, Su Jingyang was alerted that there were a few gangsters looking at him sneakily outside the restaurant. Su Jingyang felt a little nervous, squinting and looking back, those few people were just as if nothing had happened. He looked away, but he was already written on his body.

Su Jingyang probably guessed it. It must be the owner of Yunxiang Restaurant who wanted to make a fool of his mind. Before, he planned to let Liu Yue's parents expose Lingli in public to bring down the business of Lin Kee Restaurant, but he didn't expect Lin Kee Restaurant. Not only did it not collapse, but it was able to maintain normal, so couldn't sit still and wanted to make a fool of self.

Su Jingyang didn't know what they were going to do, but he knew with his knees that this time his posture was bound to be a personal threat.

Ling Li packed up, took the child from the nurse, and was about to leave with Su Jingyang without realizing it, but Su Jingyang tugged at his clothes and whispered with his back to the door: "Ali, there are a few strange people over there. Yes, we might as well take a look at the situation and go."

On this night, neither he nor Ling Li knew martial arts, and he also brought a child. It was really difficult to fight against any situation. If it really doesn't work, they will spend the night in the restaurant, and there are officials patrolling at night, so they shouldn't be too public.

Ling Li held Ah Xuan in a stunned moment, then hurriedly looked over his shoulder to look at the street, only to find that the few people who had formed a bunch of suspicious shapes suddenly dispersed and disappeared into the crowd.

Lingli's expression became more solemn, he put his arms around Ah Xuan, and said to Su Jingyang, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two stood there silently, the atmosphere was stagnant for a long time, a slender figure appeared at the door of the restaurant, and knocked on the half-closed door with his fingers, his voice was clear and pleasant, "Why are you still not leaving?"

When Su Jingyang heard this extremely familiar voice, he turned his head abruptly. Sure enough, he saw Rongci's bright and handsome face in the dark night. For some reason, he suddenly became happy, and an extremely strong sense of security surged in his heart, as if he saw him. Nothing to worry about.

Su Jingyang hurriedly ran to the door, his eyes curved, and he smiled brightly at him, "Ayi! When did you come back?"
