Chapter 14: On a Dark and Windy Night (Part II)
Speaking of this, Arou asked her to pause first and asked, "Shouldn't you have been flustered at that time?" Normal people shouldn't laugh, right? โ
Lin Ling blushed and said, "I don't know." โ
Ah Rou asked again: "Then you just happened to that kind of thing the day before yesterday, why did you recover so quickly?" Still so happy? He looked at her suspiciously.
Lin Ling suddenly laughed meaningfully, mysteriously put her hand to her mouth, leaned into Arou's ear and said, "I'll tell you secretly, you must not tell others." โ
Arou nodded at this.
Lin Ling continued: "I told my father and mother about it when I went home, and they were angry. But I couldn't tear my face with his family openly, so my father bought a group of people and dragged him into a box early yesterday morning and beat him. After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said, "When I was fighting, I was hiding in a hidden place and watching, and he was beaten so badly that it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of bed for half a month." โ
When Arou heard this, she also laughed gloatingly, and said, "Where did you just talk about?" Hurry up and move on. โ
Speaking of ...... Where's the talk? Lin Ling looked up at the sky and didn't think about it for a long time.
Arou can't remember.
Ah Xue, who still didn't speak, reminded: "Speaking of what you saw the scholar." โ
"Oh oh, yes!"

Zhou Junyong heard the laughter and put his mind at ease. If you can laugh, then it's not a ghost.
Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, he secretly removed his hands, only to see Lin Ling with his back to him, so he whispered: "Girl? Girl? โ
Lin Ling then remembered that there was a big living person behind her, so she turned around and said embarrassedly: "You, are you in trouble?" โ
Zhou Junyong saw that she was disheveled, and there were still tears on her face, and when he thought of what situation Xu had encountered, he said kindly: "Xiaosheng saw the girl running in such a panic, did she encounter something?" If there is anyone who needs Xiaosheng's help, just say it. โ
Lin Ling was really informal, and she couldn't take care of the defense of men and women for a while, and said tentatively: "I'm ...... I was in a bit of a situation just now, could you lend me a piece of clothing? I'll give it back to you next time. Then he looked at himself, "It's really hard for me to walk on the street like this." โ
Zhou Junyong paused, turned around and thought about it, as if he was hesitating.
Lin Ling thought he was unwilling, so he hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, after all, men and women can't accept it" At this time, a cool breeze blew, and the coolness penetrated through ......the skin inch by inch. She was so frightened that her originally muddy brain finally began to react to what had happened to her, and she couldn't help herself for a while, so she squatted down and cried softly.
"No, that's not what Xiaosheng meant." Zhou Junyong hurriedly turned around when he heard this, but saw that Lin Ling was crying, her shoulders trembled, and she panicked for a while. Hurriedly took off his robe and put it on Lin Ling, and said, "Girl, what's wrong?" โ
Lin Ling felt even more sad when she asked like this, and she cried even louder, and she couldn't stop her tears.
The cry echoed through the silent night around her, and with a few crows chirping in the distance, it looked terrible.
Zhou Junyong became more and more flustered, and he proposed: "Why don't the girl go home with me, it's windy outside, and it's not good to catch a cold." Even if you don't think about yourself, your parents will be sad. After saying that, she secretly regretted it, how could she agree to such a presumptuous proposal? and secretly blamed himself for being too frivolous.
Who knew that Lin Ling just stood up like this, crying and looking at him shyly. At that time, she thought in her heart: if you want to cry, you can't cry on the street, even if there is no one, it will be very humiliating. Besides, what if Yanagisawa and the others find out that there is no one over there and chase them back.
Zhou Junyong inexplicably regretted that if he took a woman back in the middle of the night, he would be blamed by his mother or second, and it would be bad if he ruined the reputation of others.
But the words had already been spoken, and they couldn't be taken back, so Zhou Junyong had no choice but to extinguish the oil lamp, and walked towards his house with her nervously, and he was not sure if she had been standing behind her, so he had to look back from time to time.
Nothing to say all the way.
Lin Ling followed him unhurriedly, and her crying slowly turned into a small sob. After calming down a little, they found that the scholar's residence seemed to be very remote, and the two of them walked around the alley for a long time, and finally came to the main road and came to the vicinity of the scholar's house.
Lin Ling looked at the surrounding streets and remembered carefully, and found that this place was actually near the Liu Mansion, and faintly heard the sound of Liu Ze and his little brother scolding not far away. She was secretly uneasy in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it openly.
Until at the last corner, she suddenly saw a maid dressed in black carrying an object on a tray and sneaking into the side door of the willow house. The object was covered with a black cloth, and only the outline could be discerned. It looks like a strange bottle.
In the few seconds when Lin Ling paused, Zhou Junyong had already walked a long distance. As if because his destination was near, he didn't look back at her.
Lin Ling hurriedly followed, but saw that they had already come to the back of the Liu family's mansion, and Zhou Junyong had already opened the back door of the Liu mansion and motioned for her to enter.
She didn't hesitate any longer, and walked in with him.
This is a small yard, which should be a small place carved out in the backyard of the Liu family. In one corner of the courtyard were a few broken pillars, the bamboo bodies had turned yellow, and on the other side was an ugly mud house with dim lights. There is also a simple pot stove next to the earthen house.
And there is a small door in the small courtyard, opposite to the two cars that Lin Ling came in just now. It should lead to the inside of the willow house.
The people inside heard the sound of the door opening and shouted, "Is it Yong'er?" "Listen to the voice, because it should be a middle-aged woman.
Zhou Junyong closed the door and responded, "Mother, it's me." Then they saw a woman go to the door and open it for them.
Although the woman was over thirty years old, her face was still beautiful, her hair was coiled high, her eyes were cloudy from overuse, and her hands had calluses from years of needlework.
Zhou was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Ling, and he was not enthusiastic, so he turned to Zhou Junyong and asked, "Yong'er, this little lady is ......" and said in a sneer, where did this little lady come from? This eye is red, I must have cried just now, it's weird.
Lin Ling looked at Zhou Junyong embarrassedly, and Zhou Junyong asked them to go back to the house first before saying, "Mother, she ...... I brought this sister from outside, you help her find clothes first, and I will send her home later." โ
Lin Ling looked around, there was only a small bed, a table and a few small benches in the room, there was a small oil lamp on the table, and there was a half-knitted winter coat next to it. Further inside is a small room separated from each other, which should be one person living in the inner room and one person living outside.
Zhou glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and knew that it was not too late to wait for this girl to leave, so he went to find a plain and simple dress and handed it to Lin Ling: "Little lady, we don't have any good clothes to wear here, this is what I wore when I was young, don't dislike it." โ
Lin Ling hurriedly took the clothes and said gratefully: "Auntie, don't say that, I should be grateful to you, and I will send you this dress tomorrow." "It's not a good dress, but it's pretty good for her now.
When Zhou heard this, he didn't react, and said in a flat tone: "Then little lady, you can change your clothes here first." After speaking, he pulled Zhou Junyong to the outside and helped close the door.
