40. Chapter 40
"This ......" pondered the two titles in his heart for a moment, Su Hong saluted Chen San with a long heart, "Then thank you third brother!" ”
"Hey! Since you have called the third brother, what are you saying thank you! Chen San saw that Su Hong chose the title of 'third brother', and he also smiled with a wrinkled face.
"Hehe......" Seeing that Chen San was so invisible, Su Hongtang immediately smiled, "That Hongtang has seen the third brother here!" ”
"Red Entanglement?"
Before Su Hongtang's smile fell from his face, he saw that Chen San's eyes became a little strange.
"The red-tangled girl is from Yunzhou City?" Chen San looked down at Changxin, who was tugging at Su Hong's sleeves, and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Realizing that Chen San's eyes were wrong, the smile on Su Hongtang's face froze, "But what happened in Yunzhou City?" ”
"There are people with the same name as my sister in Yunzhou City," Chen San looked up at Su Hongtang's eyes.
"This ......" Su Hong saw that Chen San's eyes were full of honesty, and his heart was also entangled for a moment. There will definitely be no one in Yunzhou City with the same name as her - she has been a lowly citizen. This matter has affected the name given to her by the master, but ...... Looking at Chen San's reaction, it seems that something big has happened in Yunzhou City.
"Yes. After all, Hongtang is such a common cheap name...... "Stabilizing his mind, Su Hongtang pretended to be confused and glanced at Chen San, "If the third brother has something to say, you might as well speak up, Hongtang is not a person who can't listen to people's words." ”
"Oh, that's a long story." Chen San heard that Su Hongtang said that 'Hongtang' was a cheap name, and his face immediately eased, "A while ago, I went to Zhenxi City to see the official mansion Zhang Bang and said that there was a Huan Pavilion in Yunzhou City that was burned, and it was rumored that the owner of the Huan Pavilion was born handsome, so it caused a fire disaster to the Huan Pavilion......"
"What?" Su Hongtang's heart trembled when she was shocked by Chen San's words, "You mean that the Youhuan Pavilion in Yunzhou City was burned...... Are there any casualties? ”
"Casualties? More than casualties! The government said that no one in the Huan Pavilion escaped, and all of them died in the Huan Pavilion......" Chen San saw that Su Hong's body was unstable, and he stretched out his hand to help, but he was preempted by Changxin.
"Hahaha...... Red-tangled girl, why are you not as good as your little girl! Chen San looked at Su Hongtang's long heart with satisfaction, and said in his heart that the woman he met today was really an ordinary woman's family. Even if he was single and took his daughter to Zhenxi, he would still be frightened by this kind of false gossip.
"Third uncle, don't laugh at your mother!"
Changxin looked at Su Hongtang's face and glared at Chen San fiercely.
"Hahaha...... You little girl, you are so fierce! ”
Chen San depreciated the little girl in front of him, but in his heart he appreciated Changxin, he hadn't seen such a powerful little girl for a long time!
"Huh...... The third brother smiled! Seeing that Chen San was not suspicious because of his reaction, Su Hongtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly holding Changxin in his arms, Su Hongtang glanced at Chen San suggestively, "Third brother, Hongtang has been walking for so long today, and he is already a little tired......
"Ahh The red-twined girl should rest quickly! ”
As soon as Su Hong opened his mouth, Chen San immediately realized that he was still in the house late at night, and immediately retreated from the house with a smile.
"Then I won't send it."
Seeing Chen San open the door and walk outside the grass house, Su Hongtang immediately pulled Changxin to the door, raised his hand to close the door, and after closing the door, Su Hongtang instinctively swept around the house and found that there was a wooden table in the house. Without hesitation, Su Hongtang quickly moved to the wooden table and pushed the wooden table behind the door.
She has never dared to live in a house without a lock.
"Mother's ......"
Changxin stared at the table against the door for a moment, and glanced at Su Hongtang disapprovingly: "If the third uncle comes back later......
"Shh
Su Hongtang put her ear to the door and listened for a long time, and when she saw that there was no movement outside the door, she took the oil lamp from Changxin's hand and put it on the table.
"Xin'er go to sleep first!"
Motioning Changxin with his eyes to go to the bed that was made by Chen San, Su Hong turned over and sat on the table, leaning his back against the door.
"Mother!"
Changxin saw that Su Hongtang had no intention of going to sleep, so he quickly propped himself up on the table and sat next to Su Hongtang.
"My mother doesn't sleep, and I don't sleep either!"
"Don't make a fuss!"
Su Hongtang remembered how sleepy she looked when she walked all the way to the house with Changxin on her back, and her heart obviously wanted to sleep. Besides, children sleep a lot, and if they don't sleep, they won't be able to keep up their spirits tomorrow.
"Mother! I want to accompany you! ”
Changxin secretly shrank into Su Hongtang's arms.
"Isn't it in the same room?"
Su Hongtang slightly wrapped her arms around Changxin, who was hiding in her arms, and sighed softly.
"Hmm......" Changxin looked at Su Hongtang in the candlelight, and whispered, "Mother, my heart is afraid of the dark!" ”
"Then take this oil lamp and go to sleep." Su Hongtang heard that Changxin was reluctant to sleep because he was afraid of the dark, so he immediately handed the oil lamp on the table to Changxin's hand.
"What about my mother?"
Changxin looked at the oil lamp in Su Hongtang's hand for a moment, and frowned slightly.
"Mother's parents are not afraid of the dark."
Su Hongtang gently patted Changxin's back.
"Yes...... I'm afraid of ......"
Changxin twisted in Su Hongtang's arms.
"Isn't there an oil lamp?" Su Hong replied with a long heart.
Changxin didn't like Su Hongtang's reply very much: "What if the oil lamp goes out?"
"It's time for the day." Su Hong wrapped up a long sentence. In fact, she knew in her heart that when the oil lamp went out, her heart should also fall asleep.
"How does my mother know?" Changxin didn't believe Su Hongtang's words very much.
"Why do you talk so much?"
The questioning eyes made Su Hongtang a little unable to dodge.
"Because my mother deceives people!" Changxin had to cry in Su Hong's arms.
"Shh......h Don't cry in your heart, your mother will accompany you in the past! ”
Neatly getting up from the table, Su Hongtang, holding Changxin in one hand and an oil lamp in the other, slowly walked towards the corner.
"Then you're not afraid, are you?"
Sleeping with Changxin, Su Hongtang blocked Changxin in the corner of the wall, staring directly at the door blocked by the table.
"I'm afraid of ......" Changxin reached out and grabbed the edge of the quilt tightly, closing his eyes.
"Why?" Looking at Changxin's eyes closed, Su Hongtang couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid to be accompanied by my mother, if my mother is not there in the future......"
"Why is my mother gone?" Hearing Su Hongtang say that he was gone, Zen Changxin immediately leaned towards Su Hongtang's side, "Changxin is just afraid of the shadow on the wall......"
"What's there to be afraid of with a shadow?" Su Hong wrapped her feet around the quilt, and the feeling of sleeping on thatch didn't seem to be as bad as she imagined.
"Hmm......" Changxin hesitated for a moment, still glanced at his head, and then quickly closed his eyes, "Mother...... It's just that it looks scary...... If you don't believe it, look up and see ......"
"Huh?" Su Hongtang closed her eyes again when she saw Changxin, and she was a little nervous for a while.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Red Wrapping Girl! Red Wrapping Girl! ”
Chen San's voice made Su Hongtang's whole person tense.
"Third brother, what's the matter?"
Su Hongtang stabilized his mind, pretending to be sleepy and said to the door, "Hongtang has rested......"
"Oh! When the third brother was just sleeping, he suddenly thought that the door of the grass house was not locked, and he realized that he was negligent. A girl is no rougher than the third brother...... The third brother ran over just to remind the sister that the door was not locked. For the sake of peace of mind, the girl should push the table in the room to the door and hold it against ......"
"Ahh Trouble the third brother......" Su Hongtang got up slowly, making some thatched grinding sounds, "Third brother, go back to sleep, Hongtang will take care of the door lock." ”
"Hmm......" After Chen San heard Su Hongtang's response, he added uneasily, "If the red-tangled girl wants to defend herself, there are more than a dozen kitchen knives hanging on the beams, and the girl can choose one at will." ”
After that, Chen San left his grass house and walked towards the blacksmith's shed.
And Su Hongtang heard Chen San's smaller and smaller footsteps, so he slowly closed his eyes. She almost made a move on Chen San just now. She felt uneasy after Chen San said that everyone in the Spring Breeze Pavilion was burned to death. She seems to be caught up in a conspiracy.
If the Spring Breeze Pavilion is still there, then she is a pariah with a name and surname, and she can enter the city at will. But if all the people in the Spring Breeze Pavilion were burned to death, then who was she? She was undocumented and unable to prove her identity.
If she said that she was Su Hongtang, then how did she escape from the fire, and why did she not appear for so many days after the official mansion was announced? Did she set the fire herself......
Thinking about these messy questions, Su Hongtang's head was a little big. But she had to go to Shizun...... Even though she didn't know where Shizun was, she could be sure that Shizun must not be in Chenzhuang. She needs to have an upright identity, and her heart needs to do it.
But how easy is that?
Su Hongtang looked up at the beam weakly, but her gaze could no longer be separated.
Sky! How could there be such a person as Chen San!
Staring at the sharp knife hanging from the beam, Su Hongtang's scalp tingled. She suddenly understood why Xin'er was lying in bed but didn't dare to sleep. What kind of strange person did she meet......
Su Hong sighed, leaned over and took Changxin into her arms, and gently patted her back to soothe her to sleep.
"Xin'er, let's sleep......"
……
Morning comes sooner than one might think.
"Mother...... Mother's ...... "Changxin wakes up from sleep before Su Hongtang."
I don't know when I fell asleep, Su Hong opened her eyes in a daze and glanced at Changxin: "Xin'er? ”
"It's dawn!"
The long-hearted voice made Su Hongtang's lips hang a light smile, and also led her to open her eyes and look at Chen San's grass house.
As soon as he looked at it, Su Hongtang realized that the grass house in Chen San's mouth was actually his humble speech. I lived last night, no matter how you look at it, it's a brick house. But where is the thatched house she saw in the village yesterday?
Enduring the doubts in her heart, Su Hong carefully observed the place where she lived last night - the big window was on her and Changxin's side. And by the window there was a wooden cabinet with a lot of ash, and next to the cabinet was a large water tank, and next to the water tank was a stove, and next to the stove was the table she had pushed past to block the door last night......
Staring at the window beside him for a moment, Su Hongtang secretly laughed at the fuss he made last night - the window has no bolts, right?
"Hehehe......" lowered her head and chuckled for a moment, Su Hong touched the top of Changxin's head, and thought through a truth that Shizun had told her a few years ago: the door lock can only prevent a gentleman and not a villain.
Shi Zuncheng does not deceive her!
