Xu Lang is a brother who has been born and died with Chen Shan for many years.

When Chen Shan was talking to Jiang Ruo just now, he was sitting with the thin monkey on a rocking chair under the eaves not far away.

He watched Chen Shan finish talking to Jiang Ruo, went back to the room, and went out again.

After a while, Xu Lang said to the thin monkey to go out and look around, looking for it in the direction that Chen Shan had just left.

After walking a few steps, I saw Chen Shan sitting on the broken swing under the palm tree not far away, smoking.

Seeing Xu Lang coming, Chen Shan flicked open the cigarette case with his thumb, and Xu Lang twisted out one and lit it.

Xu Lang chatted with him a few words, Chen Shan should be very perfunctory, and he talked very little.

Xu Lang sat on the muddy grass under the swing, he grabbed the sparse grass roots, and asked Chen Shan: "Brother Shan, did you think of your sister-in-law because of that woman?"

He tossed and turned over in his heart many times before he dared to ask, and he couldn't mention it on weekdays.

Chen Shan was bored, and the lighter clicked, but when he heard the words, he suddenly stopped and didn't speak.

Xu Lang didn't dare to come out, and after a long time, Chen Shan stared at the sea level, rolled up his short-sleeved sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, and said lightly: "You think too much." ”

Xu Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and plucked up the courage to say: "I know that her current experience is a bit similar to her sister-in-law before, but she is not a sister-in-law after all. ”

Chen Shan's eyes dimmed, his facial features were cold and tough, his high eyebrows were deep and his eye sockets were deep, his eyebrows were habitually slightly frowned, and when his lips were closed, he looked a little fierce without making an expression, and this gloomy expression did not match him.

Xu Lang felt that this was out of place, but he had to say it.

From the time he saw Jiang Ruo on Chiliu Island, Xu Lang found that Chen Shan was very unhappy, because Shui Huo didn't tell him in advance that the person he wanted to take away was a pregnant woman.

At that time, it may have been on the boat for a long time, Jiang Ruo's complexion was not very good, and he looked weak without saying a word, Chen Shan looked at her, and scolded a few words.

At that time, Jiang Ruo heard it and thought that it was scolding her, but only Xu Lang knew that in fact, Chen Shan was scolding water and fire.

Since Chen Shan's wife's accident, Chen Shan has gradually withdrawn from this industry, but this road is not just to enter if you want to, and you can immediately retreat if you want to wash your hands.

Over the years, I don't know how many enemies I have offended, how many favors I owe, and if I want to retreat, I must end what should be settled.

Shui Huo saved Chen Shan's life, although it was only by chance, so when Shui Huo looked for him, he agreed without thinking about it, and he should return the favor.

But who would have thought that water and fire are so unkind, and they will engage in wives and children.

Xu Lang said: "Although the sister-in-law is gone, you have to think about your daughter, you finally picked up her life, and after doing this time, you can completely withdraw and take her away from these rights and wrongs." You know that if something goes wrong with you, he won't let you go, and you will never have peace in your life. ”

Fighting snakes and beating seven inches, he knows Chen Shan's weakness, and what he cares about most is his daughter.

It was a miracle that the child could be born alive, but at that time, Chen Shan decided to avenge his wife and quit, and said to the outside world that the child was stillborn, and only Xu Lang knew about it. He'd done so much to protect the kid, and he certainly wouldn't have seen it all ruined.

"Brother Shan," Xu Lang said solemnly: "Don't be soft-hearted, don't be compassionate." ”

Chen Shan's jaw tightened, and he repeatedly recited the words "compassion" in his heart.

If those people had even a little compassion at the beginning, would she be okay?

Chen Shan patted Xu Lang's shoulder, biting his cigarette, but there was still only one sentence: "Don't think about it." ”

At this point, Xu Lang knew that Chen Shan would definitely be able to figure out which was more important.

Chen Shan said: "You go over and guard, don't let Ah You get close to her, if something happens to her, it will not be easy to deal with the water and fire." ”

"Yes. ”

After Xu Lang left, Chen Shan propped his knees, put his hand into the stubble, exhaled deeply, and then lay directly back on the swing, swaying and watching the sun in the middle of the green leaves.

After Xu Lang walked away, Ah You sneaked close to the corridor, the thin monkey was tinkering with his mobile phone, and when he looked up, Ah You had already come to him.

"Brother Hou. Ah You flatteringly pulled over the small bench and sat beside him.

The thin monkey frowned and looked at him, and it was not easy to drive people away, "What's wrong?"

Ah You said: "Today's noon, it's really that girl who is too rampant!"

The thin monkey let out a thoughtful "um" and didn't make a clear statement.

Ah You was indignant: "And don't you think Brother Shan is too protective of that woman? He has done a lot of evil things before, and now he responds to a hostage's request, what, conscience finds?" he said and snorted disdainfully.

The thin monkey raised his eyebrows, he had nothing to do with Chen Shan before, because of this mission, Ah You was the person brought by Chen Shan, but it was not Chen Shan's ......

The thin monkey thought for a while, "Attention should be done, this woman is very important to Brother Huo, there can be no accidents, Brother Huo has also instructed to try to meet her requirements." ”

Ah You didn't expect the thin monkey to have such an attitude, he had never directly contacted Shui Huo, and he was very suspicious that the article "try to meet her requirements as much as possible" was colluded between Ah You and Chen Shan.

It must have been Chen Shan who said bad things about him behind the back of the thin monkey, in order to keep him away.

The more Ah You thought about it, Chen Shan and Xu Lang were going to collect the mountain after this trip, but he didn't want to. If he wants to take the opportunity to take refuge in the fire, he doesn't need to worry about the future.

Maybe now is the chance.

Ah You laughed suddenly, "That's what I said, but who doesn't know how his wife died? He obviously saw this woman, thought of his wife, and saw how soft his attitude towards that woman was?

The thin monkey was stunned, "How did his wife die, and what does it have to do with Jiang Ruo?"

Ah You looked left and right like a thief, and whispered closely: "Brother Shan's wife, Shi Jiaojiao, a very beautiful woman, is a serious person, and I don't know how to follow Brother Shan." was also kidnapped by Brother Shan's enemy when she was pregnant with a child, and she was about to give birth at that time. ”

The skinny monkey frowned, "And then?"

Ah You said: "Die." Those people don't eat and drink as well as us, and they still meet the requirements, heh. ”

The thin monkey asked again, "The child is also dead?"

"No, when Brother Shan arrived, he was no longer human, he was killed by a woman first, and he died on the way to the hospital. ”

The thin monkey rubbed his chin, "Chen Shan didn't take revenge?"

Ah You had an expression of what kind of nonsense you were talking about, "Chen Shanzhen! At the beginning, he was a well-known ruthless and vengeful person, and if he dared to provoke him, he would pick up all the skin for you, provoke his wife, and pick up one more layer." Those people died worse than his wife anyway. ”

The thin monkey thought about it, and didn't pick up any more.

"Brother Hou, where have you and Brother Huo been active in the past few years?"

The thin monkey squinted at him: "Are you interested?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I know," the thin monkey put his arm around Ah You's shoulder, leaned in and said earnestly, "You behave well this time, and then ask Brother Huo what he means." ”

Ah You's expression as if he had won the lottery, he was happy, Xu Lang came back, and he was still far away, and a lazy voice came: "Ah You, what are you doing there, go back to your place." ”

Ah You was very obedient this time, got up and walked away.

Xu Lang stopped him again: "Brother Shan is going out later, you move the underground car to a shady place." ”

"Okay. ”

……

In the afternoon, Jiang Ruo closed the door and closed the window and fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was already sunset, Jiang Ruo pushed open the window and looked, but she didn't see Chen Shan's shadow, she walked out of the door and asked Xu Lang, "Where is Chen Shan?"

Xu Lang said: "Wait underground, let you go down when you wake up." ”

Jiang Ruo went out in a good mood, and the reason why Xu Lang knew that Jiang Ruo was in a good mood was because Jiang Ruo smiled and said "thank you" to him, usually this woman doesn't look at people squarely.

He stared at Jiang Ruo's back, wanting to speak and stopping.

Jiang Ruo walked to the edge of the courtyard, Chen Shan and the thin monkey stood next to the red electric tricycle and talked, Chen Shan frowned and listened, he didn't say a word for a long time, he pursed his lips tightly, and there was a shallow groove in the middle of his chin.

Chen Shan's facial features are good-looking, but his temperament is rough and his eyebrows are fierce.

Chen Shan saw Jiang Ruo, ended the conversation with the thin monkey, turned around and rode on three wheels, Jiang Ruo received instructions and went over to him.

Jiang Ruo stood in front of the car, still a little hesitant, "Do we really want to ride this over?"

Chen Shan glanced at her, very cold, "Otherwise?"

"This car looks unsafe, won't it turn over?" There are no seat belts, no seats, and a small bench in the middle.

Chen Shan gave her an eye knife, "Flip it, I'll roll your eyes." Hurry up, or don't go, except for this only walking, and it will be dark as soon as you come and go. To get to the dock, you must pass through the forest in the middle of the island, who knows what strange things will be in this forest at night. ”

Chen Shan said that he was about to leave the car and quit, Jiang Ruo was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll sit." ”

Jiang Ruo looked at it, this car can only be from the rear, and there is no one who steps on it, Jiang Ruo gritted his teeth, sat on his ass first, and then lifted his legs.

It took a lot of difficulty to sit down, Chen Shan started, the ground was a little bumpy, the stool was unstable, Jiang Ruo held on to the railings on both sides and didn't dare to let go.

It's basically a dirt road, potholes, and a slightly better road is the gravel road, which is close to the pier, and the long gentle slope goes down to the pier.

Jiang Zuo sat with his back to Chen Mountain, palm trees and some island plants growing luxuriantly on both sides of the road, and the burning clouds in the distance illuminated the sky blood red.

Chen Shan pinched the handbrake, "This is the dock." ”

Along the way, Jiang Ruo rarely saw a house, except for those whose homes were by the sea, there were only many families scattered on both sides of the road near the wharf.

Before, they said that there was a market on the dock, and they said that it was a market, but in fact, it was a few adobe sheds built around the pier, in addition to a grocery store, a barber shop, a clothing store and a breakfast shop, there was actually a chess and card room.

The Coke that Chen Shan asked people to buy two days ago was bought at the grocery store.

Today is the day when the transport ship comes, there are fishermen who send seafood over, and they play cards here in the afternoon, and the breakfast shop next to them also sells brunch, and some people will eat something after playing cards and then go back.

At this time, several shops were still open, the sound of mahjong came from the chess and card room, and there were customers eating at the breakfast shop.

Jiang Ruo got out of the car, walked to the dock, passed by a few shops in the market, and at a glance, he didn't see any young men and women.

At this time, the wharf is not as lively as during the day, and a few small boats with mottled roofs are quietly docked on the shore.

There are strangers on this island, let alone a young woman like Jiang Ruo.

Even though she wears an earth-colored shirt and floral trousers similar to the women of this island, people can still recognize that she is not from this island.

Not to mention that the young men and women on this island have gone out to make a living, even if they stay here, their skin should be dark and rough due to the sun and wind all year round, and she is not only white, but her complexion is as transparent as porcelain under the sunset.

All the way through the bazaar, everyone looked at her with strange and wary eyes from outsiders, and her belly was bulging, which was even more eye-catching, and even the sound of shuffling cards in the chess and card room was quiet, and several women stared at her and whispered and pointed and pointed.

Jiang Ruo was a little apprehensive by these eyes, and Chen Shan poured cold water on the side, "How good do you think this dock is, a paradise on earth? The dawn of escape? ”

What Jiang Ruo didn't know was that the people on the island knew that there were several young men from Mrs. Chen's house, and the boatman who sent them over that day said that there was also a woman who came with him, and in the past two days, this matter had already spread, and they were guessing her identity in private.

Aunt Chen is not an aboriginal here, she moved here more than ten years ago, and she always said that her son did great things outside and made a lot of money.

Everyone didn't believe it at first, but since her son was so capable, she ran to their island where birds don't lay eggs when she was full.

But later I found out that Mrs. Chen's household was sent from outside, all kinds of electrical appliances, the first one used, all of them were her family, she didn't fish, but she never lacked food, and everyone believed it over time.

So the islanders are wondering if this woman is her son's wife? But why did her son throw his mother and wife on this island?

Seeing that Jiang Ruo didn't speak, obviously nervous, Chen Shan joked: "Scared?"

Jiang Ruo ignored him and walked towards the front restaurant, "I want to go and eat something." ”

The boss is a man, Jiang Ruo can't see his age, medium height, dark and thin, his eye sockets are very deep, his eyes are as black as Aunt Chen, they look deep and bright, Jiang Ruo hasn't approached yet, he has been staring.

Jiang Ruo was extremely uncomfortable stared at by those eyes, she sat down at a table, Chen Shan sat opposite her, and the boss immediately handed over the menu and put it on the greasy table.

She instantly seemed to have a pregnancy reaction that she hadn't had in a long time.

Jiang Ruo glanced at the menu, it was very simple, it was basically all kinds of seafood with rice or noodles, Jiang Ruo said: "Boss, a bowl of clam noodles." ”

The boss said yes and asked Chen Shan: "What do you want?"

"It's the same. Chen Shan said.

The boss took the menu and went to make noodles.

Jiang Ruo raised his eyes to look at the shop, Chen Shan got up and said, "I'll go to the opposite side to buy a pack of cigarettes." ”

Across the street is the grocery store.

After Chen Shan left, she turned around and looked, the proprietress smiled and greeted Chen Shan, she looked like she should be the youngest woman on the island, although she was dark, her skin was tight, her body was plump, she was wearing a slim floral dress, her long hair was curled high, and there were two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth.

Jiang Ruo couldn't care so much, and after a glance, he turned around and walked towards the boss who was making noodles.

The boss, who was wearing an apron and handling fresh clams in his hands, looked at her with a somewhat rigid gaze and asked her in broken Mandarin with a local accent, "What's the matter with you?"

Jiang Ruo stood a few steps away from him, and turned his head to look at the opposite side, Chen Shan was looking down to choose a cigarette, Jiang Ruo turned his head and asked the boss, "Are you here every day?"
