When the others left, Shen Shu remembered a question in hindsight, she forgot to ask the name of the other party, and just now she only guessed the other party's intentions......

Thinking of this, she was stunned. Since when did she become like this?

There is nothing wrong with being vigilant, but this person is the one who is willing to risk the danger to save her and Cui Yijing with just a save without knowing anything. The other party's behavior is indeed a little abnormal, but he did not release any malice from beginning to end, and it can even be said that everything he did was for her and Cui Yijing's good.

But what about her? From the very beginning of discovering a clue, she has been constantly speculating on others with malice, and no matter what the other party has done, she can always find a relatively malicious explanation.

She wasn't like that before......

Shen Shu was stunned for a long time, and it wasn't until Cui Yijing carefully pulled her sleeve and called her mother that she came back to her senses.

"Brother Jing'er, you'll follow me in the future, okay?" Shen Shu gently touched his head and asked.

When Cui Yijing heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Follow, mother." ”

Seeing him like this, Shen Shu suddenly felt guilty in his heart. She knew very well in her heart that he didn't know what it meant by this nod, just because it was her who spoke, so he agreed. And even if he didn't agree, Shen Shu couldn't let him go anymore, the two of them were tied together, and they fell into the cliff with the carriage together, and in the eyes of the Xie family, they were also 'dead people'.

Under such a premise, if Cui Yijing is sent back to the Xie family, it is tantamount to declaring that she is still alive, but instead of going back together, she wants to leave the Xie family. In this world where there are no human rights at all, and women are inferior, even if she dies because of this, she will only get infamy, and she deserves it one after another, and no one will feel pity for her......

Brother Zhen and Brother Yan may think of her at the beginning, but as time goes by, they grow up little by little and accept the rules of this world little by little, and at that time, the words Shen Shu brought them were probably only disgust and humiliation.

To be alive, and to be alive well, no one will want to die.

Shen Shu is just an ordinary person, she will be afraid, and she also hides selfishness in her bones.

She put her arms around Cui Yijing's shoulders, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "Brother Jing, I'm sorry...... "From now on, you are my only relative in this world." I will do my best to make your life better.

——

After Yue Donghai left, he rode back to the place where he had stayed. The two villages are actually not far apart, but they are separated by a mountain, one in the middle of the mountain and the other a little outside, so you need to take a detour.

When he returned, his companions were still waiting there.

In fact, strictly speaking, these people are not his companions, but he paid for them. Although he learned from others that Xie Changning had died in the Qingmingshan Gorge outside Jingzhou City, and the displaced people were not difficult to deal with in theory, but this was based on a single or small number of people, if there were more people, it would be another matter entirely.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

That's what she'd taught him. In addition to this, she also told him a lot of unbelievable knowledge, and it turned out that she was right. She is always cold and indifferent to others, only when she faces him, she will show a shallow smile, as if she has changed from a beautiful puppet to a living person.

Yes, it's just pretty.

In his eyes, she is the best-looking, better looking than everyone in the Xie family's mansion.

is the same age as him, but he always talks to him in the tone of treating children.

She said, "Brother Jing, do you remember what the outside world was like?"

He also said, "Didn't I sue you, there is nothing to be afraid of thunder, and it is not that God is angry, it is just an ordinary natural phenomenon." When it rains, the positive and negative poles in the sky collide together, resulting in lightning and a lot of heat released at the same time...... That's thunder. You shouldn't know what a positive or negative pole is, it's okay, I'll tell you slowly......"

He added, "Although I want you to be safe all the time, the nature of war is cruel, and there is no accurate measure of life and death, right and wrong...... So I can only say, I hope you don't care about it anyway, as long as you are worthy of it. ”

His life was divided by the age of eighteen, and he had been poor and ignorant like ordinary people before. However, fate took a turn at the age of eighteen, when he closed his eyes in the icy waters of a stormy night, and when he woke up again, he saw not hell, but heaven.

He didn't die, his soul occupied other people's bodies, and what he got was not only fine clothes and food, but also people who asked for warmth.

At first, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, but gradually accepted this qiē.

But in the end, he began to hate this qiē again.

Brother Jing, Brother Jing, Brother Jing...... How he wished that one day he could hear three other words from her lips - Yue Donghai. He left with this wish, hoping that when he came back after becoming famous, he could take her out of Xie's house, live in the courtyard with only the two of them, and say a word to her in person.

But she did not give him this opportunity, and in the winter of the second year of his departure, she died of a sudden typhoid fever.

The news was that the second lady of the Xie family sued him.

And everybody thinks so.

It's ridiculous, everyone takes him for a fool. If she really went because of illness, how could she have left nothing for him.

No, it's not that nothing is left. She said it and asked him to take good care of the Xie family for her.

That's what they told him. It's even more ridiculous than not saying anything. No one in that family really knew her and knew her innermost desires.

But even though he knew it was all fake, he still did it, not all, but only part, and took care of several children under her name.

The rest of the year became extremely long, and the days went on like years. He stayed up year after year, and finally couldn't hold on anymore for the fifth year after she left.

The sharp arrow shot from a distance, instantly piercing the entire chest, and after a brief pain, the consciousness began to dissipate little by little.

He thought that was the final end. Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, I saw the blue sky again, with seabirds constantly flying over and the sound of the tide. He also saw familiar people, people who had been his friends, who had later slept with him in the depths of the sea, living forever in his memory. They waved their hands, raised a big smile, put their hands to their lips again, and shouted at him, "Yue Donghai, you hurry up, we're leaving-"

In distant memory, this scene happened many times. Each time they set out with a lot of hope, and although there were hardships and dangers during the period, they were able to return safely every time.

Except for the last time.

At that time, he only thought it was an illusion, because many people said that when people are about to die, they will recall their lives.

So he waited, waiting for her to appear in front of him and accompany him on the last stretch of the road.

But the scene in front of me has always been unavoidable, whether it is the sky or the earth, it is so real, you can feel the delicacy of the sea sand when you step on it, and the wind blowing in your face carries the familiar and unfamiliar, the smell of the sea......

Later, he realized that it was not an illusion, everything was real, and he went back to the age of eighteen, before the accident.

……

Yue Donghai found someone who was traveling with him, and when he opened his mouth, he went straight to the topic and said goodbye to everyone. Everyone was quite surprised, and asked him if he didn't have something to do, why he was suddenly leaving.

He hired honest people, and although he got the commission early in the morning, he still cared about his problems.

Yue Donghai said that it had been done. Although everyone was a little confused about how to do it, they didn't ask, and after congratulating him, they left in twos and threes.

Yue Donghai simply packed up his things, and then went to the village where Shen Shu was and them.

Because I was worried that she would say goodbye without saying goodbye, I hurried all the way, turned over and dismounted in front of the door, but I didn't dare to continue to go inside, and stood in front of the door for a while, until I heard a voice from the house, softly and softly, "Yes...... Are you back?"

Yue Donghai breathed a sigh of relief, and after sorting out his feelings, he raised his feet and walked into the house.

Shen Shu had already gotten up from the bed, and was sitting on the square table in the middle of the room, with a bunch of dead grass on the table, pinched into finger-length pieces, and a few scattered sticks.

Yue Donghai knew at a glance that he was teaching Cui Yijing to arithmetic, and it was not a difficult problem. He couldn't help but think of the past, she had taught him here, from the addition and subtraction of one plus one plus two to multiplication and division. Her ideas are very out-of-the-box, she doesn't have a fixed set of what she wants to teach, she always thinks of what to say, and she may become more and more biased during the period, and finally has nothing to do with the original idea at all.

His expression was in a trance for a while, and he was soon pulled back to reality by her words.

She said, "Can you tell me your name?" ”

He almost blurted out, "Yue Donghai, my name is Yue Donghai." ”

Shen Shu asked, "Is it the Yue of the mountains?" or is it ......" Before she finished speaking, she saw Yue Donghai shaking her head in denial, so she continued, "Is that the Yue of transcendence?"

Yue Donghai nodded.

Shen Shu asked again, "The east of the east, the sea of the sea, right?" Seeing that he continued to nod, she smiled and said, "Can I call you by your name directly?"

Yue Donghai nodded again, "Yes." ”

So Shen Shu called his name.

"Yue Donghai, did you grow up by the sea?"

These three words came out of her mouth, as if they were endowed with magical power, and they turned a thousand times in the bottom of her heart, and they never dispersed for a long time.

Obviously, before he left, the atmosphere was still so stagnant, he knew that she had doubts in his heart, and there were some things that he couldn't say to her now. But not long after she left, when she returned, her attitude suddenly changed, and she became very easy-going, as if nothing had happened before.

What happened in the meantime?
