Chapter 51: After the Deception
In the evening, when I returned to my room, I suddenly felt thirsty, so I wanted to go to the kitchen to drink some water, and when I passed by the door of Xu's room, I heard a voice inside.
Maybe the mother and the two were chatting, and they were about to raise their legs to walk me, when a sentence came into their ears: "Ran'er, you don't just care about reading books all day long, you look at your daughter-in-law, running out every day, which woman is like her." This is not going to be good, bring a wild seed back from outside, where will we put the face of our Zhuo family at that time! Alas, my mother told you, you replied, she is your daughter-in-law. ”
"Mother, our family has wronged others enough, she just wants to go outside and breathe, so let her go."
This is the voice of Zhuoran.
"You kid, you can't always let your mother talk about it. Our family has wronged her a little, but she has already married in, and she is the daughter-in-law of our Zhuo family, so she should follow the woman's way. Xu's voice came out again.
"Mother, I see." Zhuo Ran's voice came out.
"Go back and talk about her." Xu said.
Hearing footsteps, I hurried away and drank water. In fact, their voices are very small, but their ears are too fine.
After drinking the water, he returned to the room, and Zhuo Ran was already in the room. I didn't say anything, but I wanted to see what he said.
"When you go out in the future, remember to tell me."
Zhuo Ran spoke.
"Why?" I didn't ask knowingly, I didn't understand what he said, this is not the same thing as his mother explaining to him!
"No, it's good that you're safe." Zhuo Ran said.
"You're caring about me?" I was stunned, and suddenly remembered the Cangmang Sword that turned into my body, and the words when Qianfan gave the sword: ...... If I am not by your side one day, and danger comes, how can you ensure your own safety?
It turned out that he had planned to leave for a long time, why didn't he say a word of goodbye? Are you afraid that I will stick to him and go with him?
"What's wrong with you, I don't seem to be very happy, I don't mean to care about you, I just want to know that you went out safely." Zhuo Ran walked up to me, looking overwhelmed.
I felt sad, reluctantly pulled out a smile, and pretended to be nothing: "No, don't worry, no matter where I am, I'll be fine." ”
"Don't be careless, it's better to be careful when you're out and about." Zhuo Ran said.
"Why are you such a mother-in-law, sleeping." I say.
I don't want to reminisce about the past, but the facts that have existed always come back to my mind inadvertently. No matter how happy, sad, or sad we were before, we are only lost at this time, because we can't go back.
I couldn't sleep that night.
The next morning, when no one was in the room, I threw a comb from the dresser on the bed and cast a spell, transforming myself into my appearance. After thinking about it, he cast another spell to turn it into a high fever that would not go away, which would save him a lot of trouble.
The reason why this is because I don't want me to be at home, so that Xu gossip again, which makes Zhuo Ran embarrassed. It's just that...... What I didn't expect was that for this fake me, Zhuo Ran took care of it for a day.
When it got better, I moved straight from my room to my own shop. Suddenly remembering that the door was locked from the outside, I had to cast a spell to open the lock.
As soon as the door was opened, a man of about thirty years old, who was not tall or short, dressed ordinarily, and carrying a package on his shoulder, was looking at the lock on the door with a puzzled expression.
"You are?" I asked.
"Isn't this door locked, how did you open it from the inside?" The person outside the door asked me.
"Ah...... Oh, there's no lock on this door, it's just a lock on the outside. I said.
The man outside the door touched his head and continued to look at the lock, still with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" I asked him.
"Oh, yes, I saw a shopkeeper or something on the door, and I came in. I wonder where the owner of this shop is? The people outside the door finally looked away.
I opened the door all the way and said to him, "I just, come in." What position are you applying for? ”
"You?" The people outside the door were full of disbelief and did not come in.
"Isn't it like?" I laughed.
"Your shop...... Is it a place to eat? The man outside the door said.
"Do you think I'm going to open a green building!" I'm angry and funny.
"This ......," the man outside the door laughed awkwardly.
"My shop is mainly hot pot, oh, you call it a pothole. And, believe it or not, I'm the owner of this shop. I came out of the job posting at the door. It's up to you to decide whether you want to stay or not. I said.
The person outside the door smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm offended." Do you think I'll be the shopkeeper for you? ”
"What's your name, where do you live, and do you have relevant work experience?" I asked him.
"My name is Hu Pingping, a native of Sichuan. As for experience, it's a shame to talk about. I used to be in business in my hometown for a few years, and then I lost money. Don't know what it takes? The man who called himself Hu Ping outside the door replied.
Since I have done business, it should be no problem to be a shopkeeper, and besides, this person named Hu Ping looks quite honest, so I asked him to be the shopkeeper.
Hu Ping bowed to me: "Hu Ping thanked the owner, and he will live up to expectations." I wonder when the owner will open? ”
"If you're okay now, you can go to work, and your salary will start today." I say.
"However, the store is not open, what can I do? You can't take the owner's money for nothing! Hu Pingping said.
"There is a shortage of people in the store, and there are a lot of things that have not been done, you help me look at the store first, and if someone comes to ask what to do, you can help me take a look, and if you think it will work, you will stay." By the way, where do you live? ”
"Staying at a friend's house for the time being."
"Then I'll give you the key, and I'll give it to you in the store first." With that, I took the key out.
"The owner...... This is not appropriate, after all, you and I have first met, how do you know that I am a good person and a bad person? "Hu level is difficult.
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" I say.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally took the key.
Someone looks after the store for me, and I can do the rest.
For the rest of the day, I walked through the streets and alleys without knowing the way back, bought some dishes and chopsticks and hot pot utensils, and hired a few people to help me deliver them to the store.
The day passed quickly, and when I returned to the room incognito, the door happened to be pushed open from the outside, and I saw Zhuo Ran coming in from outside the door with a basin of clean water and a towel inside.
What's he doing? I don't understand. I saw Zhuo Ran put down the basin, wrung out a towel from it, walked to the side of the bed, and gently applied it to the forehead of the fake me who was lying on the bed......
Is he taking care of "me"?
"Ran!" With a shout, Xu walked in: "Hasn't Xiao Li woken up yet?" You go get something to eat first, it's been a day, you're going to starve! ”
"I'm not hungry!" Zhuo Ran said, his eyes still staring at the fake me on the bed.
I was a little moved in my heart, although it wasn't really me, but he took care of "me" all day without eating. It makes me feel like there is still a place in this world.
