Love Chapter 47: Love in the Corner of the Eye
Xinwen stood alone in front of the lawyer's house, her hands clasped in front of her, pacing back and forth. From time to time, she looked out the window at the empty house, and through the dusty security net, she fingered a small hole into a larger gap, and she was sure that Ritsu was not at home before she did so.
"Why is it so long?" Xinwen looked impatient, but had to stand anxiously in the sun.
Before Xinwen went out, I discussed with Ah Mao Chang to follow Xinwen.
"Grandpa must have gone out fishing at this time." I put my hands on the wooden handle of the small courtyard gate and poked my head out to peek.
"Yes, but looking at the weather, the sun is completely out, and the lord won't stay outside for long." Ah Mao spoke behind me, and as soon as he exhaled, the heat was hot at the back of my neck.
Beads of sweat ran down my cheeks, I felt a wave of swelling in my head, and the half-squatting position made my knees sore. I kept pushing away the beads of sweat with the back of my hand, and the wet sweat on my palms soaked a pile of wood chips, and even a few sharp sawdust pierced my fingers.
"I can't hold on anymore." I was sweating hot, and my whole body felt like I was soaking in a vat, and I was soaking wet.
"Miss, you go and rest in the shade of the tree first, and leave it to me here." Mao Chang took my arm and went to the shade of the tree.
I sat quietly in the shade of the tree, wiping my sweat with my handkerchief.
After a while, I heard the voice of the law speaking.
"How about going to the roof of the building and catching a big gelding chicken to make soup later?" Zhiying is holding Ryu's right arm with one hand.
Are they back? Mao Chang looked at me and made a big turn to hide behind the door.
"Then I'll go up and kill the chicken, and you prepare things first." Ji Lu patted Zhiying's hand with a doting look on his face.
Xinwen heard the sound of the law speaking, and immediately patted her face with the palm of her hand, so that she immediately came to her senses, and was sorting out her clothes and sweat-dripping hair in front of the glass window of the neighbor's house, she coughed vigorously several times, adjusted the tone of her opening, and smoothed her chest with her hand to calm her breath.
"Why are you here?" Ryu, who was still smiling just now, immediately changed his face, as if he had changed his face, just like I had seen the face-changing talent show before.
Seeing this, Zhiying immediately let go of the hand she had just carried, lowered her head and slowed down, and then used her hand to play with the bangs in front of her at will.
Xinwen paused everything she wanted to say in her throat, like a fishbone, more like someone was holding her throat tightly and couldn't make a sound.
Rhythm and Xinwen looked at each other, and after a while, Xinwen had not yet spoken.
"Let's go in first, leave it alone." The law took Zhiying's hand and strode forward, this back, without hesitation, made me feel that the law of the year was back.
"It's not good." Zhi Ying shook off the hand of the lawmaker.
Ryu turned to look at Zhiying, her slightly angry mouth pursed upward.
"Give me back." The law roared angrily and swallowed the words that Xinwen was about to say, and Zhiying was so frightened that she quickly ran back into the house.
"It's okay in the future, don't come here, you're bothering me." When he passed by Xinwen, he stopped, turned his head to look at Xinwen, and said this to her.
I saw that Xinwen still lowered her head and didn't speak, but I saw that her clenched fists were getting harder and harder, and her shoulders were shrugged, as if the person in the martial arts competition was making preparatory moves, and before starting, she was determined to defeat the other party.
"Do you think I want to see you? I feel like I'm sick right now. When the law took a step forward, Xinwen seemed to use the greatest courage in her life, and spared no effort to say the words in her stomach.
It seems that the law did not stop moving forward because of Xinwen's words, but instead accelerated his pace, holding his head high and not planning to turn back.
"I lost my whole family." When Xinwen said this, her tone lowered.
As soon as the words fell, the law walked to the door and was holding the doorknob to open the door.
He stopped, he stood there as if thinking about something, and instead of turning back in time, he chose to close the door.
"I lost my home, I lost the tavern, my sister was born prematurely, did you hear?" Xinwen said this sentence again, and this time she was saying it in a questioning tone.
Their identities seem to have been reversed, and Xinwen is like a child, longing for a trace of love from her father.
"I know Qiu Feng is born." The law replied in a light tone.
At this time, Zhiying was hiding in front of the window in the room and watching, she ducked out her head in front of the window, one ear poking out like a magnifying glass.
"Do you know that the black dragon kidnapped me?" Xinwen raised her head and stared at the law.
"Black Dragon?"
"You don't look like a father at all."
"Look at you, you won't ask me why I was kidnapped?" Xinwen laughed a few times, her body trembling.
Zhiying covered her mouth behind the window and kept snickering, she made the usual action of watching a play, supporting her head with one hand, grabbing a handful of melon seeds with the other, and padding it with Zhang tree leaves by the window, snorting happily, she shouldn't have thought that I would see all this.
"What did the black dragon do to you?" The law turned around, looking dazed.
"Rape."
I saw that my legs were weak and I fell to the ground, I immediately got up, but when I thought that I didn't come here openly today, and in order to follow Xinwen, if Xinwen found out that I was hiding there with Ah Mao Chang and eavesdropping, this would find another big trouble for Su Wei.
"What?" Ritsu tried to grasp something with his hands that would support him to stand up, but kept groping backwards, but he couldn't find it.
Zhiying sat in front of the window in a daze, letting the law call, but she still looked at the two father and daughter motionlessly.
"Do you know you're worried now?" Xinwen cautiously waited for the answer from the law.
"Tell me about this, have you been blacked by the dragon?" Ritsu smoothed his chest with his hand and took a deep breath.
"I was given that by the black dragon." Before Xinwen could finish saying this, the law fainted.
"Father!" Xinwen knelt on the ground.
At this time, Zhiying quickly grabbed the leaf into her pocket, wiped her mouth constantly, ripped the entire shirt a few times, smoothed it out, and rushed out pretending to be nervous.
Zhiying's tears came as soon as she said it, like a burst of clouds and rain, and tears flowed in an instant.
"Get the hell out of here." Xinwen pushed Zhiying down heavily, and when Xinwen didn't pay attention, I even saw Zhiying's expression of wanting to kill Xinwen.
I saw Zhiying climb in front of a wooden box, open the box, and dig out a pair of sharp scissors from underneath, and she hid it in her cuff.
I realized that this was wrong, and Ah Mao Chang thought the same as me, and the two of them immediately rushed in.
Despite our swift movements, we couldn't stop Zhiying from stabbing Xinwen in the back with a sharp knife.
When Ah Mao came in, he kicked Zhiying to the ground, he moved quickly, and pressed Zhiying's neck hard with his elbow, only to see her lying on the ground with her side face, and she didn't forget to spit on us in her mouth, I didn't expect that Zhiying, who is usually delicate, even if I saw through her that she didn't really want to stay by the side of the law, I didn't expect that the matter of bayonet killing would appear on an old woman in her early fifties.
Later, Julu, Xinwen and Qiu Feng were admitted to the same hospital.
Ah Mao and I sat on the edge of the bed and waited for the law to wake up, Xinwen was in the next bed, the doctor explained in every possible way that he could not let the law be stimulated again, so that the heart could not be loaded, and Xinwen was fine, just a shallow mouth, probably scared and has not woken up yet.
Before the two of us could wake up, several police officers walked up to us.
When they approached me, I opened my eyes wide and saw that it was Officer Hu.
"The fire in the backyard has finally come to light." Officer Hu took off his hat and smiled at me.
I looked at Ah Mao Chang, and my heart was mixed, and Ah Mao Chang seemed to be thoughtful.
"The fire in the backyard, Lan Zhiying admitted that she did it."
"What?" I opened my mouth wide.
"You say, she was the one who caught fire in the backyard?"
"Yes, you're right." A police officer answered.
"She said this unintentionally, and we didn't know about it." Officer Hu said.
"She said that she stabbed Gu Xinwen with a knife because she was really hateful, especially when she said such a thing to the law, she would not regret her actions today, because it made her feel refreshed." When Officer Hu said this to us, his eyes were full of exhaustion.
"She didn't even reveal that she had ever been so cheerful, showing us her burned arm, and that burned, festering skin was her record."
"That's how we took her words one by one."
"Isn't she an out-of-tlander? Banjinghuayuan has no hatred for her. I thought with a frown.
"Because on the night of the fire, Lan Zhiying sneaked into the back warehouse of Banjinghua Courtyard, and colluded with Wang Pingzhu to exchange the real wine in the tavern for fake wine, and then sold it at a high price, Lan Zhiying is not as simple as you see."
"She is what you call a foreigner, but as you said, she is helping others take care of their children, which is fake, she is a dealer who sells fake wine."
"It turned out to be her!" I stared at Mao Chang with wide eyes.
"I've said it all, this matter has nothing to do with Qijun." I slapped Mao Chang the back.
"Qijun, maybe he witnessed the whole process of this matter, and then he was killed." Ah Mao looked at Officer Hu, and then made a guess.
"We think the same way, but Lan Zhiying denies that she has not done such a thing." Officer Hu put his hat on and moved left and right to tidy it up.
"Don't worry, we'll find out about it."
After the officer left, we turned to look at the lawyer, and saw a tear streak in the corner of his closed eyes, and before the old tear stain had dried, a new tear streak, as if he had heard our conversation.
As far as I've seen today, is Zhiying's approach to the law really purposeful? Did she stab Xinwen really because she the law? Then she hid behind the window, and still had a nonchalant attitude, and at the moment when the law fell, she was still taking care of the melon seed crumbs at the corner of her mouth, and I knew that she was lying.
Zhiying's sincerity, maybe from the tears in the corners of the eyes of the law, already knows the answer.
