Chapter 12: Eavesdropping
However, Yuan Bao'er is not an ordinary person, and a few days of getting along with her made it clear that although this person is cold, he is very good, and he takes care of her very much.
Therefore, looking at the person she defined as a good person, her eyes were shining, not only was she not afraid, but she also exuded a signal to tell me quickly.
Gu Sheng didn't know what to think, so he hummed.
Yuan Bao'er's apricot eyes bent, "Great, with adults here, things will be simple." β
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her quietly.
Yuan Bao'er said: "I helped someone earlier, I listened to that, she may know something, why don't we go to her first?" β
Gu Sheng couldn't deny it, but said, "Do you know where her home is?" β
Yuan Bao'er froze and grinned, "I know a person, she should know." β
Gu Sheng nodded dispensably and motioned for her to lead the way.
Yuan Bao'er looked at the empty ridge and whispered, "I can't find my way back." β
Gu Sheng took a breath patiently, strode forward to lead the way, and silently thought in his heart that he would only be paid for three days' meals, but he forgot that his earlier help had already covered the food money for those three days.
Yuan Baoer trotted all the way to follow, and when she came to the entrance of the village, she had some impressions.
She hurriedly ran to find the traces she had drawn earlier, and followed the arrow all the way to Tuesday Lang's house.
Tuesday Lang was talking to his daughter-in-law Li with a serious face, and when he saw the two people outside the door, his brows furrowed first.
Instead, Li hurriedly came over and opened the door.
"Are you back, I heard from the head of the house that you quarreled with Zhou Lao's mother-in-law, but you were hurt?"
"No," Yuan Bao'er didn't skip Erlang's unhappy gaze, and whispered to Li: "That family is fierce, they just brought a guy to beat me, I'm afraid that they will suffer a loss and go to settle accounts with my former sister-in-law." β
Li suddenly understood, "That's Xiaocui, who lives in the north of the village, and there is a jujube tree in the yard of the house." β
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Yuan Bao'er thanked politely and turned her head to walk out.
"Hey, wait a minute," Li rushed into the kitchen and came out with some cakes.
"Bring this pad to cushion hunger."
Yuan Bao'er took it with a smile and said softly, "Thank you, sister-in-law." β
Li waved his hand at her, watched her leave, and then closed the door.
Gu Sheng came out of nowhere, grabbed her collar, and turned around, "Wrong." β
Yuan Bao'er sighed, and obediently followed his guidance all the way to the north.
"Eat?"
After a few steps, Yuan Baoer handed over the cake.
Gu Sheng took one and took a bite, frowning slightly.
It really doesn't taste good.
Yuan Bao'er also felt that it was not delicious, but she had been working all afternoon, and she was already hungry by this time.
She ate the whole cake one bite after another, feeling the bottom of her stomach, before wrapping up the rest.
Gu Sheng also took the opportunity to stuff the remaining half of the piece into his arms.
After walking for a while, I heard Gu Sheng say, "It's here." β
Yuan Baoer stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon a voice came from the courtyard, "Who?" β
"I," Yuan Bao'er responded.
The courtyard was quiet for a moment before footsteps were heard.
Zhou Xiaocui opened the door and looked out with a candle.
Seeing that Yuan Bao'er was alone, he hurriedly let her in.
Locking the door, she said as if relieved: "Thank you very much." β
Yuan Bao'er smiled slightly, "Just now, as long as you see it, you can't ignore it." β
Zhou Xiaocui smiled bitterly, "The mother-in-law of the old Zhou family is domineering, and the people in the village are afraid of them. β
"She bullied me and humiliated me like that, and everyone in the village looked at me, but who cares? In the end, you are the only one who reaches out. β
Yuan Bao'er was silent and did not say anything.
Zhou Xiaocui dragged the table set up by the wall, put it in the courtyard, set up a small stool, and invited her to sit down.
"I'm going to pour some water."
She hurried into the kitchen.
Yuan Bao'er measured the room, Gu Sheng jumped, jumped into the courtyard, quickly looked around, and hid in the dark.
Zhou Xiaocui poured water and sat down opposite her.
Yuan Bao'er held the bowl and said in a low voice: "I just had a fight with the Zhou family. β
Zhou Xiaocui was taken aback.
Yuan Bao'er said: "Don't worry, they didn't get a bargain, I'm worried that they will be angry and come to you for trouble." β
Zhou Xiaocui was a little surprised, but more moved.
"Don't worry, they won't."
Zhou Xiaocui said.
Yuan Bao'er looked at her in surprise.
Seeing her look determined and not worried at all, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhou Xiaocui smiled slightly, "My family and his family are relatives of the next generation, but if we divide the family, I am the only one left in my family, and the men of his family look at the love of the previous generation and will not interfere in the affairs between women." β
After hearing this, Yuan Baoer immediately realized that she was thinking too naΓ―ve.
She immediately gave up her earlier plan, only said a few words softly, and then politely said goodbye.
Leaving her house, Yuan Bao'er's whole body wilted.
She originally had great expectations for Zhou Xiaocui, thinking about opening the gap from here, but she didn't expect that this village was all relatives separated by generations and houses.
She, a foreigner, couldn't figure out who had a relationship with whom, and it was impossible for her to succeed in rashly probing.
Gu Sheng felt a little funny when he saw her like this.
"How did you get that fire just now?"
Ghost fire is very terrifying to ordinary people, but it is nothing more than Gu Sheng, who goes in and out of the edict every day and kills at least a few people every ten years.
"I asked someone to make it, it's funny," Yuan Bao'er tilted her head and smiled.
Gu Sheng saw that her eyes were crooked, full of cunning and smugness, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook.
"It's fun, isn't it?"
Yuan Bao'er nodded, felt something like a bean, and approached him.
Gu Sheng lowered his head, and faintly smelled a faint fragrance between his snorts.
The aroma is very light, but it is very refreshing.
Gu Sheng only felt that the tip of his heart trembled inexplicably, and he was very uncomfortable and dodged back.
Yuan Bao'er didn't realize it, and when she saw him finish reading it, she quickly put it away.
The degree of baby makes Gu Sheng look very unpleasant.
"Keep up," he sped up suddenly.
Yuan Baoer was caught off guard and was left far away all of a sudden.
It was pitch black all around, and Yuan Bao'er suddenly shrunk her neck and chased after her.
The moonlight is soft, gently sprinkled.
The two walked side by side, on a quiet road.
Soon, the two came to a courtyard with high walls and bright tiles, and Gu Sheng suddenly hugged her shoulders.
Before Yuan Bao'er could feel the man's strength and oppression, she heard Gu Sheng whispering in her ear, "Don't make a sound." β
The man's breath was warm, hitting the pinna, and Yuan Bao'er's scalp exploded.
In the next moment, the man was already flying.
Gu Sheng took her lightly to the roof, and after making sure she was standing firmly, he leaned over and lifted the tiles.
In the house, the old woman was a little confused, she was crossing her fingers, muttering to herself that she didn't know what she was talking about, Zhou Laogui was sitting at the end of the kang, smoking a cigarette.
Under the kang, the brothers looked at their mothers like this, and they were distressed and panicked.
"Dad, what can my mother do like this, if she goes outside to talk nonsense, then the matter of taking her brother will be exposed."
