Chapter 19: Peace
……
In the evening, he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and Nian Zhen opened the door to see that it was Chen Xu standing at the door.
He stood outside, and before he entered the door, he said: "Commander Xu ordered me to compensate the Niu family's funeral expenses and pension expenses, and I ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Nian Zhen looked left and right in the alley to see that there was no one, and said, "Come in, don't stand outside the door."
Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, then entered the room and sat down on a stool under a wooden table.
"Have you eaten?" Nian Zhen then asked, to Chen Xu is not at all like a husband and an enemy, she knows that Chen Xu killed people only for him. In my heart, I don't blame him.
"Hmm. Ate some. Chen Xu nodded, he did eat a little, and Chen Xu was eating when the man was an adult. When he heard the voice, he rushed over, but he killed someone, and the matter was strung together, and he didn't care about it.
Nian Zhen saw it, and knew that he didn't care about eating or only ate a little, so he brought a jar of things from the stove, and when he opened it, it was a jar of porridge, and it was still steaming.
Seeing this, he was a little embarrassed: "This is not very good......" At that time, I saw the lame man beating and scolding Nianzhen, I had never seen it, but when I saw that scene, my heart was angry, and I thought that if I didn't solve it today, she would be tortured by this in the future, so she had a murderous intention. But no matter what, she killed her husband. It doesn't feel good.
"I still have a jar of money there, which is considered to be lost to you, and it may not be enough......"
Chen Xu was about to continue, but Nian Zhen gave him a bowl of porridge and asked, "They didn't punish you again except for asking you for compensation, right?"
He took the bowl of porridge, it was relatively thin, tasted it, it was faint and tasteless, not everyone eats sugar these days, does she usually eat this thing? He glanced at her quietly, and really couldn't imagine that such a beautiful woman would eat this life.
Her forehead is full, her complexion is fair, and she has a goose egg face, which matches a pair of big black and white eyes very appropriately, and her face is not charming, but it makes people feel a little intimate. It looks out of place in this dilapidated house.
Chen Xu explained: "I am considered to be a good soldier in the barracks, and I am about to go on an expedition recently, but the commander cannot reward and punish me unclearly, so he ordered me to compensate, and I was demoted from the head of the capital to ten generals."
Beiyang City has been garrisoned by the border army of Beiyang Town for a long time, and there are many sergeants' families living in the city, and she has more or less heard about the military establishment. Although he didn't take his life for his life, his demotion was also a big loss.
"I don't want the title deed you gave me for my shop." Nian Zhen heard this and said.
"It's yours if it's been given to you, and the money I saved is not enough, so it's a loss for you."
"You can keep it for yourself, I will sign for you, and it will be regarded as if you have compensated ......" She glanced at Chen Xu and said at this time.
"So how are you going to live in the future?" Chen Xu was a little anxious and spoke. A beautiful and capable woman, who doesn't like it, although there are rumors about her in the market, he knows that these are rumors spread by idle people. I just wanted to help her.
Too many things have happened today, Nian Zhen suddenly felt a little tired, and his tone began to become impatient: "Brother Xu, I understand your kindness." That's all for you. ”
The woman's heart is needled, and she can't figure out the woman's mood.
After hearing this, he was about to say "There is a risk in going on the expedition, in case I am gone, this shop may not be cheaper,...... but he felt that it was inconvenient to say this, and after a pause, he saw that the woman's big watery glasses already contained tears, "You ......"
"Let's go. I'm not a femme fatale who kills my husband**, and we're not adulterers**. Brother Xu, I keep in mind that you are good to me. Chen Xu's words seemed to intensify the fluctuation of Nianzhen's emotions, her tears were like pearls with broken threads, and she couldn't stop flowing down, and at the same time, a smile appeared on her face.
I couldn't say what I wanted to say in my mind just now, and I didn't know how to comfort her, so I had to say softly: "I said that if I gave it to you, it was yours." In my eyes, you are a good woman, and you deserve to be treated well by others. I'll go first. ”
In the dilapidated house, Nian Zhen was left alone.
She was lying on the couch, too many things had happened today, and she was also nested in the quilt, wanting to fall asleep, but she couldn't sleep, tossing and turning. The cold wind blew in from the outside, and through the broken paper windows, there was a terrible-sounding wind howl, which, combined with the dim light inside, made the room look very gloomy.
Do people really have souls when they die? Thinking like this, Nian Zhenyi was extremely frightened, and his mind couldn't help but think of the face full of blood, hideous, and dead.
She covered her head with the quilt in fear, and muttered in a low voice, "Don't blame me, don't blame me,...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have expected you to die in my heart, it's all helpless, a woman like me can't stand this kind of life...... Please don't blame me......" she muttered to herself, constantly comforting herself, very nervous, she was really tired later, and she slept in a daze for a while.
I don't know how long I slept, Nian Zhen opened his eyes in a trance, and when he woke up, it was still ten in the morning, and the sky was still dark. At this time, her hand inadvertently caught something, and she looked at it along the touch on her hand, it turned out to be the title deed that Chen Xu gave her yesterday, and she packed it in a small box and put it next to the pillow.
Thinking of Chen Xu, Nian Zhen remembered his good ...... to her Judging from his past contacts, he is not a martial artist who only understands violence, on the contrary, he has a good mind, and if he can meet the opportunity, he may have a lot of achievements...... Nian Zhen had wondered if Brother Xu was interested in herself, and she figured it out, he was mostly sympathetic to her...... Of course, she can afford to look up to a descendant like Brother Xu, but can he look down on a woman like herself?
If you pounce impatiently, I'm afraid that you will do it yourself, and your husband's bones are not cold, so you will hook up with the person who killed your husband and I will not be a woman with watery poplars? Women should respect themselves, otherwise if they don't respect themselves and love themselves, others will despise you and treat you as a plaything that can be discarded at any time.
If only I had met him a few years earlier, I would have been at least clean......
……
Day 3.
The sky is slightly bright, and the horizon is white.
The weather in February was slightly cold, and Chen Xu got up early.
It's time to pack up and go to the barracks, ready to head north to meet the enemy.
After washing, Chen Xu, who had finished packing his things, was about to go out, but when he opened the door, he saw a yellow-colored peace charm tied by a red string hanging on the door buckle. There are few people who are familiar with themselves in this place, and this thing must have been sent by Nian Zhen. He looked around left and right, but didn't notice Nianzhen's voice. I guess it's gone, right? He sighed, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
