Chapter 20: Mutual Criticism
Since experiencing the snow wolf, Zhu Yougu, who is always panicked, is bent on finding Zuo Zhu. In order to get close to Zuo Chu, Zhu Lanyu guarded her inch by inch. Clinker took Zhu Yougu to Zuo Qiu's residence early in the morning, and was told that he went out of the village to visit Zhu Jiu, which made Zhu Lanyu instantly jealous, and pinched Zhu Yougu, who was in a trance, and gritted his teeth secretly.
At sunset, Qiu Shui brought a goat to mend Zhuyi's body. Speaking of A-Niang's body recovering well, both of them were very happy. As for the snow wolf hurting people, they only cared about each other's safety, and they didn't care much about whether the people next to them were alive or dead.
The soup was cooking, and there was a lot of chatter outside the house.
Zhu Yi went out to look, and when the door opened, he was vigorously pushed down in the house by one of the first people. Qiu Shui on the side of the pot hurriedly helped her up.
She was dizzy for a while, and listened to the angry shout of Qiu Shui in her ears: "Fifth Miss, don't go too far!" ”
When Zhu Lanyu, who was already on fire, heard this, he was immediately angered, and shouted: "Am I excessive? In terms of excess, I can't compare to Zhu Jiu's broken shoes! It's okay if she doesn't know how poor she is, can't she see us better off than her now? ”
Zhu Yi, who was helped up, knew that this person had a bad temper, and squinted and smiled: "I don't have the heart to care about you." He looked at the more than 20 girls of all sizes outside the door, and smiled sincerely: "What, the matter in your village has been dealt with?" Want to catch up with me now? ”
"Heh," Zhu Lanyu squinted at her: "Who wants to catch up with broken shoes?" Mr. Chu inadvertently saw your really shabby house, and kindly reached out to help the poor. Now that you're amazing, Mr. Chu has chosen a site to build a house for you. ”
Before Zhu Yi could understand it, Qiu Shui had already spoken: "What is the house?" Make the words clear. ”
"Mr. Tsai was afraid that the snow wolf would come again, so he specially sent someone to build a house near here. Tomorrow someone will come to clear the snow and go to the forest to fetch wood. This vixen has a way. Someone shouted outside the door immediately.
"Yes, lonely and empty for a year or two, the foxy temperament is all on Mr. Chu."
"No one is ...... these days Hmph, suffocated, right? ”
The women ridiculed each other, and Zhu Yi heard it, and secretly froze: Why didn't he say anything about it when he came over this morning?
The more people in Guzhai argue with them, the sharper their words become. Especially women, they have learned too much about the root of their tongues. Therefore, Qiu Shui didn't want to bother with them, so he pulled it out and pointed at Zhu Lanyu in front of the person, and tilted his head slightly: "We will ask about the matter ourselves, and I bother you to take people away now." ”
The eldest lady who was accused was furious, and her mouth was presumptuous: "No matter what, I am also the daughter of the ancient village, what kind of thing do you dare to use a sword against me?" ”
In vain, she admired him for a while!
Qiu Shui sneered: "Unabashed, rampant behavior, Miss Five interprets the word 'daughter' like this?" Looking at the idlers who were talking and pointing fingers, he said bluntly: "You came to find trouble because Zuo Chu came to find bamboo, and you were not treated well in the village, so you were jealous of her." ”
Zhu Lanyu was poked in the sore spot, and she was extremely angry, and pulled out a girl from behind her, "Which of us is not a clean girl?" Who is not an honest person? We don't want to disturb Mr. Tsai, why is she wearing a broken shoe? Regardless of being pointed at by the sword, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhu Yi viciously.
Zuo Chu has been living in Guzhai for so many days, and they have never had the opportunity to approach him alone. I always ask for a meeting for various reasons, and I am always denied. Even the subordinates who refused to speak on their behalf looked at people with their nostrils turned to the sky.
"Hehe," Zhu Yi finally couldn't help laughing, "How is this strange to me?" If I used my hands to 'seduce' him, and he came, then ...... How bad you are......"
When all the women heard this, they were indignant: "Bah, we are not going to bother. You know how lowly your means are. ”
"That's it, biting Mr. Tiff like a dog, insulting people's reputation!" A young girl responded sharply.
"Seduce Mr. Yu to use her Gu medicine, not to mention the business of our village, and to stick himself up!"
"Shameless!"
"I'm afraid I don't know what the face is when I've been out in the wild......"
The crowd condemned one after another.
The abuse has little impact on Zhu Yi, she only thinks that people are too noisy. Qiu Shui was about to drive people away by force, when suddenly there was a disturbance in the crowd, and everyone turned around and saw that it was Zuo Zhu, who was silent and gave way one after another.
The left path is self-entering.
He was "blind" and could face Zhu Yi. Because the door of the house was wide open and the room was cold, he frowned unconsciously: "Which Miss Zhu is so idle and brings so many people to make trouble?" ”
Zhu Lanyu hurriedly spoke: "Mr. Zhu, I am Lan Yu." We are all worried that you have been deceived by the wild girl outside the village. We have all the Gu medicines she has, if you need them, just ask, why don't we want to give them? You don't know what kind of virtue this person is, if you are allowed to be deceived by her, how can we be happy? ”
"Who does Zuo trade with, and what does it have to do with you?"
When Zhu Lanyu heard this, she felt a pain in her heart, and said hurriedly: "You are blind in both eyes, so naturally you can't see it, this woman has no appearance, let alone talent, and she will only make the means to do some unsightly things." We also told your men that there is a woman outside the stockade, who is either a good lord or she! I'm too embarrassed to tell you about her affair. ”
The heart that can't stir up waves, when facing the man in front of him, finally shows a rout, this situation is really not suitable to expose the past. Zhu Yi's breath was a little chaotic, and he roared in a low voice: "Shut up!" It's not your turn to ...... my business."
"Mr. Tsubi, ......" A panicked female voice sounded outside the house at the right time, interrupting Zhu Yi's next words that were about to refute but were meaningless. She looked at it and inadvertently saw Zuo Qi's impatience on his face. Looking at the past again, it was Zhu Yougu with tears on his face.
Zhu Yougu was helped in by Zuo Zhu's subordinates, and his subordinates looked embarrassed: "Zhuang master, this Miss Zhu has woken up since you left, and she kept saying that she wanted to find you, and the owner of the ancient village came over with his subordinates to ......."
Zhu Yi glanced at Zuo Chu, Zuo Chu didn't look back at all, still facing her, ignoring the trembling girl, and her voice was a little cold: "Didn't you send someone to appease her?" ”
His subordinates knew that their master was angry, so they resigned: "The subordinates have tried their best to appease, but Miss Zhu panicked, and the owner of the ancient village begged again and again, saying, "I will send it to you temporarily......"
Zhu Lanyu, who was blocked by Zuo Zhu, thought about what happened at night, looked at Zhu Yi, had a plan in his heart, walked over and pulled the trembling Zhu Yougu, and sent her straight to Zuo Chu's side, "My sister Su Ri is timid, this time I was really scared, Mr. Zhu coaxed her for most of the day today, and it was also hard." ”
Yan Bi Dese glanced at Zhu Yi, took Zhu Yougu's little hand, and said: "My sister is usually the purest person, and she knows what kind of character people outside this village are. Mr. Tsui doesn't want to believe us, so he might as well listen to what my sister has to say. After that, Chao Zhu Yougu hinted with a look in his eyes.
Zhu Yougu timidly approached Zuo Chu's side: "She's not a good girl's family, Mr. Chu, she's not chaste, and she killed that Chulin brother." I don't want to say the rest, shall we go back to the village? I'm afraid ......," the girl pleaded, looking up at Zuo Qi.
Zuo Chu moved away a little, didn't listen to the two sisters, ignored it, but turned in the direction of Zhu Yi, and said softly: "My reason, I brought you these troubles, don't take it to heart." No one will come to the door to make trouble in the future, you believe me. ”
He doesn't like to watch the trivial affairs of others, and he doesn't care about the words and deeds of people who have nothing to do with him, and he can't talk too much about rude people, he just needs to protect her from this environment.
For a while, all the women who came to Xingshi to ask for guilt were embarrassed.
Zhu Yi looked at this scene, the petite girl, who only pretended to be him in her eyes and heart, quietly felt a little sad, took a step back, and said: "I don't know what Mr. Chu is going to do, but my reputation is stinky enough, why bother to defile you." ”
"I know who you are, I know your character, how can other people's foul language damage your reputation?" He smiled and stepped forward slowly, "I couldn't protect you before, but now I don't do anything else but protect you." Zhu Yi bit her lip, took a step back, looked at him and shook her head.
He relied on himself to lie that he was blind, pretending not to see her avoidance, turned to face the women, and said in a deep voice: "Zuo's transaction with Guzhai will end, if you come to disturb her again, Zuo doesn't mind asking Guzhai for an explanation." ”
The women looked at each other, unable to figure out why Mr. Zhu was protecting his clothes like this, and listened to his eviction order: "Everyone, please go back." As the words fell, dozens of people from Yaozhuang appeared behind them, and everyone was shocked by this suddenness. Although everyone was still not convinced, they could only choose to leave under pressure.
The storm died down, and it was dark. Zuo Chu didn't look at Qiu Shui, but he could also feel the inquiring eyes he cast.
Qiu Shui asked, "Do you do this, what's interesting?" ”
He replied, "Naturally." Then he gestured to Zhu Yi's side and walked away.
Zhu Yi stayed in place, looking at his back as he walked away, not knowing what to say.
