Chapter Seventy-Six: The Old Man, the Scar of Memory

Leng Chitong and Squeak were really too lazy to get involved in the affairs between the strange couple next door, so they simply turned around and stepped back to their room through the broken wall hole and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Qiu Rong'er and Jiao Niang both walked in anxiously, and noticed at a glance that a large hole had been broken in the partition wall.

"Hitomi, what's going on? Did you get it? Jiao Niang was puzzled, and looked at the cold red eyes with a calm face in confusion.

"The man next door just now is really annoying, so ......" Leng Chitong said lightly, which was a response to Jiao Niang's question just now.

The situation just now was very dynamic, almost alarming everyone in the inn, and Jiao Niang also understood that it was the unforgiving attitude of the man next door that annoyed the young and vigorous Leng Chi Pupil, which made him so impulsive.

Although it seems that it is not clear in one or two sentences who is right and wrong in this matter, in the eyes of Jiao Niang, no matter who is more wrong, Leng Chitong's act of destroying the public property of the inn is absolutely inappropriate, and there is no reason to say it.

Seeing that although Leng Chitong is an adult, she always acts recklessly and does her own thing, Jiao Niang inevitably has some hidden worries in her heart, but she is helpless.

"Yikes! This, this, what's going on? Who got it!? ”

A greasy figure came out of the crowd crowd outside the door to watch the excitement, and when he saw the situation in the house, he screamed angrily.

"Is that you? Or are you? ”

The shopkeeper walked straight to the broken wall, blushed, pointed at Leng Chitong, and then turned his head to point at the middle-aged man in the next room, trying to figure out who the saboteur was.

"It's me!"

Leng Chitong dared to do it, and admitted loudly, saying it was right, and it looked like a hero, not a person who had done something wrong.

"Huh? Look at you like this, you've done something good, haven't you? Looking at Leng Chitong's completely unapologetic expression, the shopkeeper was not lightly angry.

You must know that the house money of this medium-sized house only collects about a dozen silver beads a day, and it takes five or six gold beads to repair this wooden wall, and a hundred silver beads are enough to exchange for one gold bead!

In the face of such a loss, the shopkeeper's anger can be imagined.

"Shopkeeper, this matter is indeed my child's ignorance, may I ask how much money it will cost to repair this wall?"

Jiao Niang walked slowly to the shopkeeper's side and asked politely.

As soon as she heard that Jiao Niang had plans to compensate, the shopkeeper's face immediately laughed happily, and he instantly lost the thunderous appearance just now.

"If you want to repair this wall...... To say the least, a dozen gold beads are enough. Seeing that you know how to be polite like this, then I will give up the odds on your face and accompany me with ten gold beads! ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand to Jiao Niang with a smile on his face, spread out his right palm, and waited for the other party to offer the compensation with both hands.

As soon as the shopkeeper's words came out, the surrounding crowd whispered continuously.

Many discerning people know that the shopkeeper is simply a lion's mouth, obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob, and pretending to be a kind-hearted person, it is really no treacherous business.

Jiao Niang is not clear about the price of wood, so naturally the shopkeeper will give as much as he says, and there is no second word at all.

Jiao Niang looked at Qiu Rong'er and motioned for her to pay the compensation.

"This stinky boy is really causing trouble all day long, and he doesn't stop for a day......"

Qiu Rong'er muttered in a low voice, squinted her eyes and turned white and red eyes, and reluctantly took out ten golden beads and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Who knows, Leng Chitong quickly snatched the money bag from Qiu Rong'er's hand, and happily took out three gold beads and put them in the hands of the shopkeeper.

"A dozen gold beads are a dozen gold beads, we can just pay for them, and you don't need to pay in advance!"

Leng Chitong held his waist straight, his voice was like a bell, and he looked like he was wealthy.

It is estimated that he is the only one present who thinks he is very chic, but in the eyes of others, he is ridiculously stupid!

"You're stupid, you're stupid! I really took myself to the Lord. ”

Qiu Rong'er looked at Leng Chitong's move, she was really speechless and asked Cangtian, and he rolled her eyes angrily when she was not clear-headed, and stretched out her fingers to poke Leng Chitong's body.

Jiao Niang was not very angry, but shook her head helplessly, she really couldn't do anything about her "stupid son".

Squeaky didn't think there was anything strange, because this was the owner he knew, a "stunned green" with a simple and cute temperament.

It's rare for this shopkeeper to meet such a stupid person, looking at so many gold beads in his hand, he can hardly close his mouth with joy.

Jiao Niang inadvertently glanced at the next door, and her gaze happened to fall on the face of the middle-aged man.

Jiao Niang's eyes widened in shock, her face suddenly became gloomy, and her body trembled slightly with inexplicable excitement.

Qiu Rong'er noticed Jiao Niang's strange look, and instinctively followed her line of sight, and immediately frowned.

After relieving herself, she suddenly wiped her eyes again and again, and stared at the middle-aged man again, with a look of disbelief on her face that could not be eliminated for a long time.

Leng Chitong and Squeak looked at Jiao Niang and Qiu Rong'er who suddenly became strange for some reason, and they didn't know what kind of magic they were obsessed with.

"It's you! It's you! Why didn't you die? Why don't you die!? ”

Jiao Niang suddenly went crazy and walked briskly towards the middle-aged man, shouting at him at the top of her throat.

"Smack!"

As soon as Jiao Niang stopped, she stretched out her palm and slapped two big mouths on the left and right faces of the middle-aged man, and the crisp two slaps rang out immediately.

Because Fang had just shot too hard, Jiao Niang only felt that her palm exuded a hot pain, which was numb and sore, and her palm trembled involuntarily.

The middle-aged man didn't react for a moment, his face spread with heat, and his ears buzzed.

"You woman, what are you doing!" The middle-aged man's wife moved in front of the man, questioned loudly, and raised her eyes full of anger to stare at the inexplicable "crazy woman" in front of her.

"You tell her, is it wrong for me to hit you? Are you supposed to fight! You're just damned! Damn it! Jiao Niang's face flushed with excitement, and even her muscles were angry and bruised.

The delicate woman was barely able to stand firmly, and she staggered back two steps, holding on to the edge of the bed with one hand, so that she could continue to stand.

Jiao Niang's strange behavior aroused the interest of the people around her, and they all poured into Leng Chitong's room directly with curiosity.

When the middle-aged man looked up at Jiao Niang, he was instantly dumbfounded, where did he dare to fight back, so he could only bow his head in shame.

"You gambler, if it weren't for you, my sister wouldn't have died of depression back then, what a good woman she is...... I shouldn't have agreed to let you marry her! Why did you kill my sister! You are so ruthless that you can even leave your young daughter behind and run away on your own! You're still not human! ”

After Jiao Niang scolded, her face was full of tears, and she sat directly on the edge of the bed.

"She wasn't even twenty-six when she died...... So young, but depressed, and finally died, she was so gone, I didn't even get to see her for the last time....."

Jiao Niang seemed to have lost her mind, her expression was sluggish, and she kept saying some words that were unfair for her sister.

Qiu Rong'er didn't approach the middle-aged man, but just stood beside Leng Chitong, full of tears and tears.

Nearly twenty years have passed, although he has more gray hair, some wrinkles, and an older appearance, but just by the recognizable big black mole on his chin, Qiu Rong'er recognized at a glance that this person was the gambler father who ruthlessly abandoned him back then.

What the? This person is Qiu Rong'er's father?

Leng Chitong listened to what Jiao Niang said, and suddenly understood everything in shock.

"What's going on? Do you have a wife? Didn't you say you didn't get married? Do you still have a daughter? Is what she said true or false? Or did she recognize the wrong person? ”

After listening to Jiao Niang's words, the middle-aged man's wife suddenly felt that a thunderbolt fell on her head, and she kept asking the truth.

"She didn't recognize the wrong person...... What she said was true......"

The middle-aged man had no quibbles at all and easily admitted everything.

Even though men have committed countless sins over the years, a woman has always believed that men love her, so she has chosen not to give up.

It's just that I didn't expect that this man had been deceiving himself all along, and now that I think about it, I can't help but feel that my life is really ridiculous.

After learning the truth, the woman fell silent and stopped talking, with a look of lovelessness on her face.

"Let's go! There's nothing to see, it's time to go back to sleep. Seeing that the nosy crowd was still poking his head into the excitement with great interest, Leng Chitong had no intention of withdrawing at all, so he took the lead in issuing an eviction order.

Everyone was reminded by Leng Chitong, many people yawned tacitly, and a sense of sleepiness suddenly spread to the audience, and then they all gradually returned to their respective rooms.

After the crowd left, there was no squeak for a while, and the room suddenly became unusually quiet.

"You, don't be sad! It's all gone anyway, isn't it? Leng Chitong looked at Qiu Rong'er's sad expression, and couldn't help but feel that it was not a taste in her heart, and whispered comfort.

Qiu Rong'er didn't react at all, didn't speak, and still stared at the middle-aged man, her eyes constantly flashing with tears.

"Sister Rong'er, don't be sad!" Squeak was also a little distressed by Qiu Rong'er, standing beside her cautiously trying to enlighten her.

"Forget it, even if I beat you to death and scold you to death, what can I do, she can't come back from the dead...... Grievances only complain about the creation of people, and the creation of people makes people......"

Jiao Niang beat and scolded, and after her emotions eased a little, she got up and walked back to Leng Chitong's house without looking back.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for her, it's all my ......" The middle-aged man mustered up his courage and shouted to Jiao Niang, expressing his deep remorse.

For a middle-aged man, he thinks that the person he is most sorry for in his life is Jiao Niang's sister.

Despite his mental awareness, he often couldn't control his hands and his temper, as if there was a demon living in his soul, and he had long since lost the ability to control himself.

It's just that such an apology is so pale and desolate.

"Rong'er, let's go......"

Jiao Niang only pretended that she hadn't heard anything, and whispered to Qiu Rong'er, then took her hand and walked towards the room where the two of them were separate.

"Rong'er? She's Rong'er!? The middle-aged man couldn't hide his excitement, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, his legs seemed to be out of control, and he involuntarily stood up quickly, and then walked over and followed behind Qiu Rong'er.
