Chapter Twenty-Six: Zhuo Ran (Part II)

The old woman said a few words of farewell, I just nodded in response, all my thoughts were thinking, why this person in front of me was so similar to Qianfan, but the difference was that this person was more like a scholar in terms of dress and temperament. Although Qianfan also reads books and has a Confucian style, he definitely can't see the unique temperament of ancient scholars.

The old woman and the young man helped each other along, and I unconsciously followed them. After some time, the old woman inadvertently looked back and saw me, and stopped with her son to wait for me to approach.

"I wonder where the white girl is going?" The old woman asked with a smile.

"I don't know!" I say.

"The white girl doesn't look like a local, I don't know if she is passing by or looking for relatives?" The old woman said again.

"Passing by." I say.

"I don't know if the white girl is in a hurry, if not, go to the house and sit down and drink a cup of tea." The old woman said.

I nodded in response.

The end of the street is deserted, the weeds are higher than people, and the bustling street is completely the same as the sky, the ground, only a simple house with a civil structure stands at the foot of the mountain, which looks indescribably lonely and desolate. And this is the home of the young man who smells of books all over his body.

The woman opened the door, invited me into a simple but tidy room, took a clean rag and wiped it on an old blackened chair, and then asked me to sit down with some embarrassment, and said, "White girl, I'm sorry, the house is simple, and you can see and laugh."

I sat down in a chair and smiled back, "It's okay."

"Ran'er, you accompany the white girl first, and I'll pour a cup of tea." The woman went to a small door beside her.

The young man sat down silently in the chair across from me, his brow furrowed and almost knotted.

"What's your name?" I couldn't help but ask him.

"Under the surname Zhuo Mingran, the word is also." The young man replied with an absent-minded look on his face, as if he had lost his soul.

"You...... What's on your mind?" I asked tentatively.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, thank you for the rescue just now, and the son also remembers the five, and he will repay him in the future. ”

"Knock knock" Zhuo Ran just finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, I followed the reputation, at the door, a young girl with a soft appearance, colorful clothes fluttering, but full of tears in her eyes stood at the door.

However, as soon as I saw her, I actually had that sense of déjà vu welling up from the bottom of my heart, just like how I felt about Zhuo Ran just now. Who is she?

"Xiuxiu?" Just when I couldn't figure it out, Zhuo Mu came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea, and was a little surprised to see the girl standing at the door.

At the same time, Zhuo Ran, who was opposite me, suddenly stood up, he looked at the girl called Xiuxiu with blank eyes, and only heard him say after a while: "Xiuxiu, you, why are you here?"

"Ah Ran!" A gust of fragrant wind blew, and the girl at the door choked and shouted, and then rushed to Zhuo Ran opposite me and hugged him.

What's going on? I looked at them inexplicably, only to see Zhuo Ran gently push her away.

"Ah Ran, I'm sorry, today's incident is not good for my father, Xiuxiu is here to accompany you and your aunt for your father." Xiuxiu burst into tears, and Qianqianyu fingers stroked the bruises on Zhuo Ran's face, and murmured, "How can they do this to you......

Zhuo Ran didn't speak, his eyes were full of pain.

"Ah Ran, why don't you speak?" Xiuxiu asked anxiously.

"Miss He, you better go back, let people see that you are not good at our house." Zhuo Mu said coldly.

"Auntie, I really love Ah Ran, if you give me some time, I will definitely convince my father. In this life, except for Ah Ran, I He Yuxiu will not marry anyone. You believe me. Xiuxiu looked at Zhuo's mother and said sincerely.

"Alas~ What's the use, our family is so poor, how can your father and mother be willing to let you live a hard life with us. Besides, your father also wrote the divorce letter himself. Zhuo Mu's expression was a little depressed.

Listening to their conversation, I already understood the gist, probably another drama between Miss Qianjin and the poor boy. This Xiuxiu is probably the daughter of the house where Zhuo Ran was beaten just now.

"Okay, you Zhuoran, look at your polite appearance, and you actually abducted my daughter here." There was an angry shout at the door, and then an old man in his late sixtieth year, dressed in brocade and wearing a man's hat, walked in. He was followed by two women, four men and six people, who were probably the subordinates of the house.

"Daddy?" Xiuxiu was obviously taken aback when she saw her father's appearance.

Father He stepped forward and pulled his daughter to his side, and scolded: "Didn't you let you stay at home for me?" How did you run out? ”

Xiuxiu bowed her head and said nothing, Zhuo's mother came over and brought the tea in her hand that was supposed to be served to me to Father He: "Dear...... Master He, please drink tea! ”

I didn't want Father He to look at it, so with a wave of his hand, he knocked over the teacup held by Zhuo's mother, and the hot tea spilled Zhuo's mother's hands. In an instant, the place where Zhuo Mu's two hands were splashed with tea was red.

I got up from the chair, Zhuo Ran had already stepped in front of my mother, grabbed my mother's hands and looked at them, and asked worriedly: "Mother, how is it, is it hot?"

"Dad, how can you do this to your aunt? Anyway, you were friends with your uncle back then......" Xiuxiu blamed her father, and was about to go close to see Zhuo's mother's hot hand, but her father pulled it back hard.

"You go back to me!" Father He glared at his daughter angrily.

With a "plop", Xiuxiu knelt in front of her father and cried: "Dad, you will fulfill your daughter and Ah Ran, we really love each other!" In this life, her daughter will not marry anyone except Ah Ran. ”

Father He was so angry that he almost trembled and pointed at his daughter and said, "You can say this kind of thing, you really don't know shame!" Daddy's usual teachings to you are in vain. Look at this Zhuo family ......" Speaking of this, Father He pointed to the dilapidated items in the house and continued: "Just like this, what will you eat, wear, and use after you get married?" Taking a breath and not turning his head, he waved his hand and ordered the two girls he had brought, "You two quickly take the young lady home."

"Yes, sir!" The two girls were blessed, and they went to help their own young lady.

Xiuxiu violently broke away from the girls' hands with her, and said to her father in a firm tone: "I'm not leaving, Dad!" My daughter is not afraid of hardship, as long as I can be with Ah Ran, I am not afraid of anything. ”

"Pull Miss home for me." Father He shouted angrily, and the people were all frightened.

"Miss, go back, Miss......" The two girls persuaded their own young lady under the majesty of their master, and dragged her hard to walk out of the door.

"Ah Ran...... Ah Ran ......" Xiuxiu cried, and was very reluctant to be dragged out of the door by the two girls.

Zhuo Ran had been observing his mother's injured hand, and only then did he look up at Xiuxiu, who was already outside the gate.

"Humph!" Father He snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve robe and walked out, before leaving, he looked at me specially, his eyes were full of arrogance!
