The days slowly slipped by in teaching Shi Sheng to read and recuperate, and by the time of early summer, the injuries on Ling Ruo's body had basically healed, only the sprained right foot had not been fully healed, and there was still some stinging pain when he walked, which was not very stable.

On this day, Ling Ruo was teaching Shi Sheng to write, which was a family character, and now Shi Sheng had already known a lot of simple characters, and now he began to teach some words with slightly complicated strokes.

When writing this family word, Ling Ruo's mood was a little heavy for no reason, she had been here for more than a month, and she didn't know what was going on at home, she really wanted to go back and see......

"Thinking about your family?" Shi Sheng finished writing according to it, but when he looked up, he found that Ling Ruo was looking at the words under the charcoal strip in a daze, his expression as sad as the first snow

Ling Ruo clapped his hands and stood up and sighed, "What do you think, you won't see you again." ”

Shi Sheng followed and got up, and after hesitating for a while, he plucked up his courage and said, "If you don't dislike that we are from Jianmin, you can treat us as your family." ”

His eyes were bright in the early summer sun, which made Ling Ruo lose his mind for a moment, and then smiled: "You are already my family, why do you need to be like it anymore." ”

After getting along for a long time, Shi Sheng saw her smile for the first time, it was very beautiful, a hundred times better than the colorful butterflies flying among the flowers and leaves, I really wanted to, I really wanted her to have a smile on her face all the time, instead of being sad and sad.

At this moment, Shi Sheng's heart seemed to be filled with something, and blurted out: "You look so good-looking, you have to smile more in the future." ”

"Is it pretty?" Ling Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his delicate cheeks and said with a smile: "No matter how good-looking it is, what's the use, it's just a skin, after a hundred years, it's just a skeleton that looks good." ”

"Although life is a hundred years, after which there are skeletons, since you are alive, you should try to be happy and forget all the unhappy and unhappy things." Shi Sheng didn't know what kind of past Lu Dao Ling Ruo had, but thinking that her family was not there and she was hunted down by enemies, she must have been painful in the past without mentioning a word.

It's just that how could Shi Sheng guess that the root of all Ling Ruo's tragedies lies in the man she has loved for nineteen years, and this kind of unforgettable pain is not something that can be forgotten if you want to. What's more, another man died because of her, and pain, guilt, resentment, and regret haunted her every day like a ghost that never dispersed, making her suffer a lot, and if she had been replaced by a mentally fragile person, she might have collapsed.

Seeing that Ling Ruo's expression was as unassuming as before, Shi Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is the market in the town, I am going to sell some melons and fruits to sell, do you want to go and see the excitement together." ”

There is not much money to bragging about, not to mention that there are not many happy events in this small town every day, so every time there is a market, Shi Sheng will go to sell some seasonal melons and fruits to sell in the market.

Hearing him say this, Ling Ruo's heart was slightly moved, he had been here for more than a month, he had stayed in this hut, he had never taken a step, he was really depressed, and now although his foot injury has not healed, it has not hindered walking, it is nothing more than to slow down, and he said: "It's okay." ”

Shi Sheng was very happy, and agreed to go to the dock tomorrow to pick up the freshly delivered fruits and then come to accompany her to the market, and then he talked about some of the excitement in the market for Ling Ruo.

On the second day, when it was still dark, Shi Sheng carried an empty basket to the wharf, and from here to the wharf round trip for thirty miles, and he had to rush to the market as soon as possible to grab a good position, the sooner the better.

When Shi Sheng came back, it was getting dark, and the basket on his back was full of melons and watermelons, and he made a scale in the gap next to him.

"Let's go." Shi Sheng held the heavy basket behind his back and said to Ling Ruo.

Ling Ruo nodded, and stepped out of the humble house for the first time, the alley was long and narrow, only for one person to pass through, and the stretched eaves blocked most of the skylight, making this alley always dark and dull, with potholes on the ground, if it rained, it would be full of rain, making it even more difficult to walk. Those who live in this alley are all the same Jian people as Shisheng's mother and son, living humbly and hard at the bottom of this society.

Ling Ruo walked very slowly, and by the time they arrived at the market, both sides were already full of vendors, and it was difficult to find a vacant seat, all of them were like Shi Sheng, taking advantage of the excitement of the market, to come here to make some money.

"Brother Shi Sheng! Brother Shi Sheng! A crisp voice jumped into his ears, and when he looked up, he saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old pretty woman wearing a floral cloth skirt waving vigorously at Shi Sheng, Ling Ruo had seen her before, it was the daughter of Uncle Zheng, called Xuan'er, who often sent some things for her father.

Xuan'er saw Shi Sheng coming, bent her eyebrows and said, "I know that you will definitely come to set up a stall today, so you can take up more space, just enough to set up two stalls." As she spoke, she moved her stall with her little toys to the side, leaving more than half of it empty.

"Xie Lu, Xie Xuan'er, sister." Shi Sheng grew up with her as a child, but he was not polite, not to mention that after walking for so long, he was also worried that Ling Ruo's feet would not be able to stand it, and after unloading the heavy basket, he took out a square piece of oil paper from it and spread it on the steps behind, and said to Ling Ruo: "Your foot injury has not healed, sit down and rest first, and when I set this place up, I will go and buy you something to cushion your stomach." ”

"Hey, is Sister Ling here too?" Xuan'er saw Ling Ruo at this time, and helped her sit down with some surprise.

Ling Ruo rubbed his feet that were starting to sting, and smiled, "Yes, it's okay to stay in the house, so I want to go out for a walk." Alright, you can take care of yourself, and leave me alone. ”

Xuan'er only knew that if Lu Daoling was rescued by Shi Sheng, she had seen it a few times, and she was not familiar with it, so when she said this, she nodded and returned to the stall, helping Shi Sheng to move the melons and fruits in the basket out and put them on the ground, and said a few words from time to time.

Under the morning sun, the girl's face has been hanging a soft smile, and the pear nest looms on the cheeks.

Xuan'er likes Shi Sheng.

Ling Ruo discovered this when she first met Xuan'er, and that kind of gaze only appeared when facing someone she liked. Also, Shi Sheng is diligent and filial, and he looks good, and it is natural for Xuan'er to like him.

It's just that the parties don't say it, she naturally won't break it, whether it's Xuan'er or Shi Sheng, she said that it's just a passerby, a hurried reunion, and they will soon be separated.

Right now, her foot injury is getting better, and it's time to consider leaving, the life of the Shi family is not easy, and adding her more mouth for nothing is even worse; There was no way before, but now that the injuries are healed, how can I be embarrassed to eat and drink here for nothing.

However, before leaving, she must first go back to the capital, even if it is dangerous, Yinzhen hates herself because of Rong Yuan's incident, and sends someone to chase and kill, and now she is lucky to escape, and I don't know if he will be angry with her family, so she must go back to confirm the safety of Ama before leaving. Also, Hongli...... Her child, I really want to think about it, I don't know what is happening to him now, she used to be a saint in the palace, so Hongli was very fond of Yinzhen, although others were jealous, but they didn't dare to act rashly; But right now, alas, it's really worrying......
