Because of the dispute over the atomic bomb, Julia ignored Yin Zhen all night. She decided that the other party was playing tricks on her. She told Yin Zhen such a big secret, but it turned out to be mocking back.

In the world, how can there be people who don't even know about the "atomic bomb"!

After Yin Zhen touched the nail, he also got angry, he thought that Julia was making trouble unreasonably, he felt that he was enough to be polite and shameless to ask, but the other party treated him as a fool and ignored him.

The cold war between the two lasted until the next day, in order to avoid Julia, Yin Zhen simply chopped firewood in the backyard all morning, while Julia hid in her own house, not knowing what to sew and mend.

Lao Lu did not return in the morning, as he said. Even until noon, there was no movement.

Yin Zhen thought that maybe he was delayed by something. Since people are going to deal with private matters, then he should not ask too well. Besides, he had just gotten angry with Julia, so why bother to inquire about the situation?

It was getting late, Yin Zhen took a shower, went back to his room and lay down, and was about to fall asleep in a daze, but was woken up.

Yin Zhen opened his eyes and saw that it was Julia.

"What?" He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Ah Zhen, Lao Lu hasn't come back yet......" Julia squatted on the edge of his bed, her voice a little hoarse.

Yin Zhen was stunned for a few seconds, allowing his sanity to come back. He thought for a moment: "Maybe he is delayed somewhere?" ”

"No, it won't." Julia shook her head, "He has always been punctual, he was born in the military, and Lao Lu values punctuality more than anything else." So I'm worried...... Something happened to him. ”

Julia said it so seriously, Yin Zhen couldn't be angry with her anymore. He looked up at the window, and wondered, "But it's getting dark, and even if we want to look for him, this time is not the right time." ”

When he said this, Julia lowered her eyes, and she knew that Yin Zhen was right.

Seeing her like this, Yin Zhen hurriedly comforted again: "Although he wants to be punctual, it is inevitable that he will be delayed by something." Anyway, it's too late tonight, and if Lao Lu doesn't come back tomorrow, we'll go to him together. ”

Julia sighed softly, and she stood up, "That's all there is to it. Come down to dinner, dinner is ready. ”

Probably Julia didn't bother to cook, and that dinner that day was just sweet potato leaves boiled in potato soup. At the beginning, Yin Zhen was always difficult to swallow in the face of such poor food. But now he's used to it.

As he ate, he looked at Julia across the table. The woman only took a sip of the soup, but the potatoes were rarely touched.

Finally, Yin Zhen put down the spoon: "Don't worry, Lao Lu is not an ordinary person, even if he encounters any danger, he can break through by himself." ”

Julia lowered her head and whispered, "I know." ”

Yin Zhen thought about it again: "That's it, let's set off at dawn tomorrow - you know where to find him, right?" ”

"Yes." Julia paused, "I've been there once, and I still remember the general direction." ”

Yin Zhen endured it, but he still couldn't hold back: "What the hell is he going out for?" ”

Julia still kept her head down, and after a while she said, "I can't say." Lao Lu told me not to tell others......"

Yin Zhen nodded: "Okay." I don't ask. ”

Julia flipped through the food in her bowl with a fork, and she sighed, "I really can't eat it." And half a bowl of potatoes, Ah Zhen, are you either? ”

Yin Zhen looked at her bowl, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out the bowl: "...... Good. ”

Julia poured the potatoes in her bowl into Yin Zhen's bowl with soup and vegetables. After doing this, she suddenly came to her senses!

"Ah, you've never eaten other people's leftovers, have you?"

Yin Zhen looked at the potatoes in the bowl: "It's okay. Isn't it a pity to throw it away? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Julia hurriedly said, "Lao Lu and I have always been used to frugality, and we didn't consider your living habits. Next time you can't finish the leftovers, give it to me. Saliva is stained. ”

Yin Zhen laughed for some reason when he heard her words.

"You're not a slave in my family, why are you waiting for the rest to eat?"

When Julia heard him say this, she was also surprised: "Your maid still has to eat your leftovers?" ”

"That's not what it meant." Yin Zhen wrote lightly, "Sometimes I have a bad appetite, and I only eat one or two chopsticks on the table, and I will share the rest with them." Greasy things like eight-treasure duck are indispensable during the New Year, but I don't like to eat them, and in the end, didn't they get into the mouths of those minions? ”

“……”

"Not only the eight-treasure duck, but also the bird's nest three fresh chickens, and the boiled sea cucumbers." Then he shook the bowl upwards: "But now, there are only potatoes and sweet potato leaves." ”

Julia sighed: "The gap is so big, Ah Zhen, are you very uncomfortable?" ”

"Drop?" Yin Zhen looked up at her.

"That is, I used to live like that, and now, I live like this." Julia pointed to the potatoes in his bowl, "It's like falling from heaven into the mud." ”

"That's not heaven." Yin Zhen said lightly, "The food is naturally stronger than now, but life is not particularly smooth." Besides, now that I'm alive, that's good. ”

"Again, you're an optimist." Julia nodded, "Lao Lu also told me about those palace delicacies before. Just reporting the name of a dish can make people hungry to death. ”

Yin Zhen smiled and didn't say anything.

"Lao Lu also said that his family took over the royal drive in his early years." Julia said in passing.

"Really? Who's the driver? Yin Zhen drank the potato soup nonchalantly.

"It is said that it is the imperial car of Emperor Kangxi."

Yin Zhen suddenly coughed wildly! Julia was startled and hurriedly got up to pat him on the back.

"What's wrong? Still choking on this soup? She asked.

Yin Zhen coughed for a while before calming down. He wiped his mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, "Lao Lu's family, who were they in their early years?" ”

"It is said that he is a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, and he is too rich, so he donated an official." Julia coughed, "It's a pity that his grandfather's generation has been defeated, and his father, the whole loser, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and is omnipotent, and all the little family assets he has are lost, and the house, the fields, and the jewelry are all sold." In the end, when there was nothing to sell, he swallowed raw opium. Lao Lu is a posthumous son, and his mother is not his father's wife, so she seems to be a concubine. Later, the family was scattered, and the mother and mother only relied on washing people's pulp to get by. Later, he became a soldier at a young age, and then took his mother out, and since then he has completely cut off contact with that family, so even during the Cultural Revolution, he was not affected too much. ”

Yin Zhen was thoughtful, he nodded: "No wonder." ”

Julia returned to her seat, and she was full of worry: "In his own words, 'no matter how rich it was, it was hundreds of years ago', alas, I don't know if Lao Lu has anything to eat tonight, I am afraid that he doesn't even have sweet potato leaves to gnaw now." ”

That night, Yin Zhen finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out of the inner room, where he saw Julia still sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It was already dark, and it was their habit not to waste lamp oil unless it was important.

Yin Zhen didn't go back upstairs, he wiped his hands and sat down on the sofa.

In the darkness, neither of them spoke.

Then, Yin Zhen heard Julia laugh.

"I'm just so flustered." She said, "Every time I am worried that something will happen to Lao Lu, every time it turns out to be a false alarm in the end." ”

Although he said it with a smile, Yin Zhen could also hear the suppressed uneasiness in it.

"It's going to be a false alarm this time." He said.

Julia looked at him, "How do you know?" ”

Yin Zhen thought for a while and said, "If I say 'Jiren has his own natural appearance', will you laugh at me?" ”

Julia shook her head, "No." Why should I laugh at you for this? ”

Yin Zhen pursed his lips, and after a while, he said sullenly: "Anyway, you have a lot of fun for me." I don't care about this one. ”

Julia endured it before saying, "I don't mean to laugh at you." Ah Zhen, it's just that there are some places in you, it's too weird. Common sense doesn't make sense. Are you hiding something from us? ”

"You and Lao Lu, don't you also have something to hide from me?"

was brought back by Yin Zhen like this, and Julia had nothing to say.

"I don't know about you. But Lao Lu didn't want to talk about some things because he was injured. Julia's voice lowered as she said this, "Being betrayed by someone you trust, if this kind of thing happens once, it will leave an eternal wound." In the future, even if you meet a 100% kind person, you don't dare to hand over your trust casually. ”

After she finished speaking, she slowly lay down. The couch wasn't long enough, and Julia's head was on Yin Zhen's left leg.

"So up to now, Lao Lu only trusts me, and I only trust him, and he left you almost without asking anything because he absolutely trusted me." When she said this, she suddenly raised her face and looked at Yin Zhen, "Ah Zhen, are you a kind person?" ”

She suddenly asked like this, so that Yin Zhen didn't know how to answer for a while.

It took him a long time before he said with difficulty: "I try not to do things that I shouldn't do." If he hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have dealt with him. I don't know if that's good. ”

In the dark room, Yin Zhen couldn't see Julia's face, but he was sure she was laughing.

"Laughing at what?" Yin Zhen was a little displeased.

"Have you ever tried to kill someone with your own hands? Definitely not, right. Julia whispered.

"Of course." Yin Zhen snorted, "It's not a good thing to kill people. ”

"Well, but if you don't kill it, if you can't do it, then it's really bad."

Yin Zhen was silent, and after a while, he said: "As long as it is not a heinous crime, I will try my best to spare the other party's life." ”

"So I guess you'll be kinder than I am." Julia muttered, "Don't be bad either, so be it, and continue to be a good person." I'm here to be the bad guy. That's more appropriate. What if something really happened to Lao Lu...... It's just the two of us in this room. ”

In this room, one day there will be only the two of them left. For some reason, this thought kept spinning in Yin Zhen's mind.

If only the two of them are left in this world......

The room was dark and quiet, and Yin Zhen couldn't help but gently put his hand on his left leg, and he could feel his fingertips touching Julia's short hair, which was very soft.
