Chapter 90: Holiday Turmoil
This month is the darkest month in Ning Le's life, by the end of the month, the number of mistakes he made has been deducted for four months, Su Miao didn't say anything, but every time Su Chan looked at him, it was like looking at the enemy, Su Xian didn't say anything, every time she looked at him, it was like looking at a helpless stupid. Hu Shi and Su Yan comforted him, but the customers in the store were already dissatisfied, especially the group of hot-tempered and irritable men, he could often hear them complaining for Su Miao, saying that Su Miao "has a good heart, but he has a burden for himself, and continuing to keep him will only affect business" and so on, Ning Le was angry when he heard it, and he wanted to reply several times, but he didn't know how to refute it, his anger was held in his heart, and he had a sense of torment like a year.
Finally, when it came to the fixed holiday, he didn't eat breakfast, and lay on the bed on all fours. Su Yan was writing his homework in the yard, his ears were rarely quiet, he stared intently at the top of the bed, his head was blank, but his heart was sour, he lay down for a long time, only to feel depressed, Huo Di sat up from the bed, did not comb his hair, took a big straw hat from the wall and buckled it on his head, and went out.
"Brother Ning, are you going out?" Su Yan, who was lying on the table and writing his homework boringly, raised his head and asked.
Ning Le didn't answer, and went straight out.
Su Yan flattened his mouth.
In the wings.
Aftertaste leaned against the wall by the window, held a cup of flower tea in his hand, took a sip of it, and said lightly:
"Ning Le is out."
Su Miao was sitting at the desk with one hand on her cheek, and with the other hand holding a pen and writing on the paper, she was silent for a long time. Absent-mindedly authentic:
"It's better to go out for a walk."
Aftertaste heard the irritation in her tone, glanced back at her, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”
"Settle accounts."
"Isn't the account calculated by the eldest lady accurate?"
"I'm just just making a plate. Look at how much money you can use on your books, and the results are ...... Alas, it was not enough, and it was even more not enough after sending the Ning County Order! She scratched her sideburns in annoyance, held the pen in her mouth and said, "If you want to find a way to make more money, what is the fastest way to make money?" ”
"You're short on money?" I took a leisurely sip of tea with an aftertaste. Look at her and ask.
“…… Well, naturally, the more money, the better, for the long-term goal. Su Miao casually calculated, erased, and recalculated. He sighed.
"A long-term goal? Do you want to go back to Toyosu? ”
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, paused, looked at him in surprise, and asked incredulously, "Why do you know?" ”
Aftertaste glanced at her. To put it mildly, "basically." Your mind is still relatively easy to guess. After a pause, the corners of his lips curled into a smile, "Do you want me to help?" I used to save some money too. ”
"No need, it's my business, you better keep the money for the future." Su Miao glanced at him and simply refused.
smiled aftertastefully, and said word by word: "Death is a shame to suffer." ”
"It has nothing to do with face." Su Miao bared her teeth at his arrogant attitude and emphasized.
"You always have a habit of refusing help from others. Do everything yourself, but don't refuse help from others. Don't you think you're a little stupid like this? He said in a questioning tone, neither salty nor light.
"I didn't! I just don't like to cause trouble to others! She emphasized.
"That's why it's a bit stupid." Aftertaste looked at her and said lazily.
"I said, it's finally a fixed holiday, and you already have your own room again, why do you have to come to my room to drink tea idlely?" This is simply an implicit eviction order.
After tasting it, he pretended not to understand, sat on the wooden pier under the window, and said lightly: "What's the matter, anyway, there is no one else in your house, and our room is door to door, if you want to enter my room at any time, I don't mind." ”
"Not the problem. When you are at home, your mother should tell you, and girls are not allowed to enter the boudoir casually. ”
Aftertaste said disapplausively: "My mother didn't tell me, but my father said that he could go wherever he liked." ”
"......" Su Miao's mind came to the uncle in red, it was that person, it was indeed possible to educate children so much, thinking about it, she sighed speechlessly.
Changle Town in the peak shipping season is full of tourists, Ning Le wears a big straw hat and walks aimlessly on the streets, people come and go, traffic is busy, there are many people dressed like him, so it will not be eye-catching. Hiding his face under the straw hat and finally no acquaintance recognized him, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and wandered around the noisy street with his head down.
It was already hot, and after a while, a layer of sweat broke down his spine, but he still hadn't figured out where he was going. The temperature, the crowd and the dry air made his already boring heart more and more irritated, and the feeling of sweating was unpleasant, and even the sun above his head made him unbearable, so he simply found a shady wall and sat on the ground against the wall, and unconsciously observed the endless flow of the street under the straw hat.
Not far from the sitting, there was an old man selling herbal tea with a flat pole, his overdried throat began to smoke, and he involuntarily slid his Adam's apple, but he had no money to buy a bowl of rough tea that he despised the most in the past, and he had been withheld for four months' wages.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more bored, and angrily scolded Su Miao in his heart for being an "iron rooster, a stupid woman, and a demon", and cursed her for "never marrying for the rest of his life". Hanging his head, he sighed deeply.
At this moment, a familiar figure came into view, Su Chan wore a straw hat and wore a short brown from far and near, her eyes looked straight ahead motionlessly, and her pace was not hurried or slow.
Although Ning Le has a deep friendship with the Su family, he is not familiar with Su Xian yet, they almost never spoke before the last time, and his impression of Su Chan is limited to "Su Miao's sister-in-law, old aunt's face, not like a woman" and the like. In short, in his eyes, this woman is very unlikable.
Ning Le turned his head and was about to pretend not to see her, at this moment. only to find out what she was like.
Su Chan was following someone walking in front of her, and although she didn't look obvious, his beastly instinct told him that she was doing such a thing. Ning Le couldn't help but be curious. Because he really wanted to know who Su Chan's coffin face was following, he stood up and patted the dust, tiptoed behind her, and always kept a distance from her.
After following for a while, Ning Le finally knew what Su Chan was following, in the bustling crowd, in front of Su Chan, a man with an obscene description was stretching his hand towards the purse hanging from a girl's waist. At the moment of success, Su Chan stepped forward as quickly as lightning and grabbed his wrist. Such a big move startled both the thief and the stolen girl. Su Chan is tall, dressed in neutral clothes, and wears a straw hat, no one finds out that she is a girl. The thief is just a nosy fool. Seeing that the stolen money was discovered, his eyes were fierce, and he punched over, broke free from Su Chan's hand when she was dodging, pulled out a sharp knife from her arms, and stabbed at Su Chan!
Ning Le, who was watching from the sidelines, was so frightened that he shouted anxiously: "Su Chan, you get out of the way!" ”
Su Chan didn't expect anyone to recognize her. I was distracted in a daze.
Seeing this, the thief sneered and stepped forward and stabbed him!
Su Chan's heart sank. The body rotated, but in the end he didn't dodge the past, the cuffs were cut, and the elbow was cut by the blade of a deep blood mark!
The screams of passers-by rang out one after another, Ning Le panicked and flew away the true soul, seeing that the thief smiled even more proudly, and once again brandished a knife and attacked Su Chan, although he was small, he was a man, how could he let a weak woman be injured under his nose, and his anger rose from his liver, and he had to rush over.
The sharp knife stabbed again, Su Chan's eyes flashed, her body quickly turned to the side, the thief pounced, and then was sharply clasped by her arm again. Because of the angle, he couldn't break free, Su Chan immediately slammed his armpit with his elbow, and at the same time, the hand that grabbed his arm slid to his wrist, and with a backhand fold, the thief let out a scream, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. Su Chan kicked at the crook of his knee, and the thief involuntarily fell to the ground, and then was hit in the back of the heart by a knee, and fell to the ground with a bang, screaming in pain!
Ning Lefei rushed over but there was no room for him to appear, blinked his eyes twice, and was stunned.
After Su Chan knocked the thief down, she cut his hands behind her back, took out a hemp rope from her waist and tied it, and then lifted the thief from the ground, raised her head and whispered to the victim:
"Girl, please come with me to the yamen and make a confession." As he spoke, he handed the purse in his sleeve to the girl who was already stunned.
"Good, good." The stolen girl stammered, her cheeks flushed slightly because of her low, magnetic voice, and she followed Su Chan, who was leading the thief to the yamen.
Ning Le was completely ignored as air, a little angry, a little worried, and a little unwilling, and quickly chased after him.
Inspection room.
Today is Wang Bao on duty, the thief has been handed over to Zhao Long to cook, and Zhang Hu asked the victim girl to record a confession.
Wang Bao flipped through the case file and said to Su Chan, who was silent in front of him: "This time it's a habitual thief, two taels of silver." ”
Ning Le, who was standing behind Su Chan, would not have been close to the county government if he died, but this time he followed and came in.
"Okay." Su Chan finally spoke and responded lightly.
Wang Bao counted two taels of silver from the cash cabinet and handed it to her, Su Chan reached out to take it, revealing the sleeves that were cut and stained with blood, Wang Bao saw this, and said helplessly:
"Although the more people who catch the thief, the better, but that's not the girl's business, you should also stop, your sister and your mother will worry if you go too far."
"Just keep them from knowing." Su Chan picked up the silver and said lightly.
"Since the new law came out, the current thieves are all playing with their lives, if you are like this, you won't even lose your life one day!"
"I'm not afraid to play with my life, and besides, I need money." Su Chan said unhurriedly, and took a reward notice on the table, "I'll take this." With that, he walked away.
"The temperament of this sister is more stubborn than the other!" Wang Leopard ran out of ideas and let out a long sigh.
Ning Le obviously hadn't recovered from the shocking news that "a girl actually made money by catching thieves", and was stunned for a long time before remembering to go out with Su Chan.
"Hey! Feed! On the lively street, Ning Le chased after Su Chan and shouted, but not only did she not stop but was still in a hurry, Ning Le was annoyed, strode forward and grabbed Su Chan's arm, "Didn't you hear Lao Tzu calling you?!" ”
His hand was holding Su Chan's injury, and Ning Le found that he was stunned when he held it.
Su Chanxiu frowned, annoyed-
Syllable!
She slapped Ning Le in the face, making a crisp sound, and turned her head to leave!
Ning Le covered his red cheeks in a daze, and his eyes were red for a moment, he was actually beaten by a woman, he looked so much that his mother had never beaten him!
He was unwilling and angry and consciously took the blame, covered his face and followed her angrily, staring at her back with vicious eyes.
He was sure that this woman must hate him very much, she looked at him unpleasantly from the first time they met, and of course he didn't like her either!
Su Chan ignored Ning Le's follow, went straight down the river embankment, sat down in a quiet corner, took out the golden medicine and bandage, applied the medicine to the injured elbow, and wrapped the bandage around the arm with difficulty with one hand and teeth, trying to tie a knot several times but failed, she frowned.
Ning Le couldn't look at it, and generously forgave her for slapping him earlier, squatting down, grabbing the two ends of the bandage and tying a knot.
"I don't need your help." She said coldly.
"You can't do it yourself." Ning Le said, already bandaged, sat down beside her, and asked suspiciously, "You are very short of money?" ”
"Hmm." She snorted coldly.
"Are you so short of money that you need to rely on the yamen's bounty to make money? Why? He asked, and laughed again, "Is it because you want to save a dowry for yourself?" ”
"The second sister wants to open a store in Fengzhou, and the silver is not enough, because she helps a fool who can't be used at all, and the silver is even more insufficient."
Ning Le's heart was shocked, but he was very dissatisfied: "...... You don't mean me by stupidity, do you? ”
"Who else but you?" Su Chan looked at him expressionlessly and asked coldly.
Such a look made Ning Le's heart empty, and he subconsciously opened his eyes and touched the tip of his nose: "So you did such a dangerous thing for your second sister?" You sisters have such a good relationship. ”
Su Chan fell silent, looking at the rippling river, thoughtful.
Ning Le waited for a while and didn't see her make a sound, but when he looked over, he saw that she was in a daze, and couldn't help but say:
"You don't seem to like to talk."
"I don't have anything to say." She replied.
Ning Le was dumbfounded.
Su Chan stood up suddenly, didn't say hello, and walked towards the stone ladder.
"Where are you going?" He hurriedly asked.
"One more vote."
"What are you doing? You're all hurt! ”
"If you dare to say anything about today, don't blame me for turning my face!" She put down a cold warning, and the person had already left.
"......" is obviously already turning her face, Ning Le touched her nose, this woman is really weird! (To be continued......)
