Forty-one (5)
It was not until the afternoon that the sky began to rain heavily, and there were gray clouds near and far, like a dull leaden gray, stacked on top of each other.
The sound of the rain on the eaves was higher than a while, and when I listened carefully, it turned out to be the sound of the rain beating the dead branches and leaves in the yard, sometimes high and sometimes low, like the chirping of insects in summer, mixed in the ears, and the noise brought up the chill of autumn, and even the temperature in the house was lower.
Because Shen Qiangrose was pregnant, after returning to the small building, Yuzhu invited a doctor to come and see, and after the examination, it was determined that the child in the womb was safe, and the maids of all sizes in the building were relieved. Although Su Hui is not here now, everyone can see that he cares about this child very much, so he tries his best to take care of it in big and small matters, for fear that Shen Qiangrose will be uncomfortable.
She naturally understands it in her heart, so she lets this group of people do their own work. She wanted to lie on the bed and sleep for a while, but as soon as she closed her eyes, it was the scene of the student riot, and those indignant words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, which could not be calmed down in her heart for a long time, and she remembered that when she was a student, she had marched like them, holding flags in her hands, chanting slogans over and over again, preaching women's rights and freedom, when the sky was royal blue, the clouds were very low, and there were not as fierce and rigid conflicts as today, or even riots.
Yes, the country will not be a country, and the national map is still killing each other, she doesn't dare to think about it, but the thoughts that were firm in her heart in the past can't convince herself, just thinking over and over again, everything will be fine.
After squinting like this for a while, she heard footsteps getting closer, she opened her eyes to look, and saw that it was Yuzhu who led Han Guaner in, because of the rain, the hem of Han Guaner's cheongsam splashed a lot of rain, while wiping her forehead with a handkerchief, she asked anxiously: "Sister, are you okay?" ”
When Shen Qiangrose saw her like this, she said, "I'm fine, didn't I call over and tell you not to come?" It's still raining outside, and I'm not afraid of catching a cold. ”
As she spoke, Han Wan'er had already sat on the edge of the bed, and said indifferently: "I travel in a car, how can I get drenched?" But yourself, how did you encounter such a thing? ”
She said, while showing a puzzled look, and said: "If you want me to say, this matter is not so simple, just when I came over, the West Street was under martial law again, and after asking, I found out that another scholar was assassinated, what is the difference between those people in the patrol team and waste?" I think if this continues, I'm afraid that nothing will happen at the front, and Jinling will fall first. ”
She originally said it casually without intention, but listening to Shen Qiangrose's ears, it made her more and more worried, and when it came to the previous student riots, it really didn't seem like a coincidence, it was more like someone was doing it in secret, she thought about it carefully, now that the situation is chaotic, there are not a few people who want to take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble, but there are very few people who have the courage to do this kind of thing.
She had an answer in her heart, but she didn't want to think about it, so she just replied perfunctorily, "Don't worry about these things, I won't go out in the future." ”
Han Wan'er glanced at her silently when he heard this, and then said: "Well, now that you are pregnant, you should cultivate well, don't go anywhere in the future, and when the limelight is over, leave with me." ”
Shen Qiangrose remembered that Su Hui wanted to send her away, so she fell into silence again, and the two of them were quiet for a long time before Han Guaner said, "I have already told Miss Six, I will move in with you this time." ”
Shen Qiangrose glanced at her in surprise and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to come and live with me?" ”
Han Wan'er smiled and said, "You are pregnant, and you can't have a caring person by your side, even if Yuzhu is dedicated, isn't it better to have a relative by your side at this time?" ”
Shen Qiangrose didn't think much about these things, but she also smiled when she heard this, and said, "It's just right that you moved here, I'm afraid that you won't be comfortable staying there alone, and I won't find a chance to say this." ”
Han Wan'er knew what was on her mind, so she didn't continue the topic, just nodded, then got up and went out to tell Yuzhu to call, and ask the messenger in the house to send her everything she was wearing.
Until the evening, the heavy rain gradually turned into a light rain, patting the window rustling, such a season, always mixed with a slight chill, Han Waner came to the interest, and then instructed the maid to prepare ingredients such as hot pot, she originally had a lively personality, recently got out of the shackles, but recovered a lot of former spirit, with the maids to talk and laugh ready, Shen Qiangrose also went downstairs, sat on the sofa in the hall and looked out the window, the night was already deep, and a cold blue light was revealed in the sky, although it was a rainy night, But it was like a star twinkling, and it was more thoroughly drenched by the rain.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and she saw that there was no maid around, so she got up to answer it, and a voice quickly came from the other end of the phone, "This is Qiao's foreign company, is Miss Shen here?" ”
Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then said slowly, "I am." When he said this, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in, thinking about everything that had happened in Jinling recently, his intuition was related to Qiao Yunhua, but he didn't know where to start, so he said, "What's the matter?" ”
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Miss Shen, our Young Master Qiao wants to meet with you." Paused, "Just tonight." ”
Shen Qiangrose instinctively looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and saw that it was almost nine o'clock, she flashed hesitation in her heart, and glanced around vigilantly, making sure that there was no one else, and then whispered: "Time, place." ”
The man also lowered his voice, "Around ten o'clock, there is a tailor shop on the corner of West Street, and I will make an appointment there." ”
Shen Qiangrose silently wrote down, for fear of arousing suspicion, she hung up the phone and hurriedly walked to the sofa to sit. At this time, she didn't have the heart to think about Qiao Yunhua's reason for seeing her, but she was a little uneasy inexplicably, but she didn't dare to tell others about such a thing, so she thought about it, but she didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Han Waner and the others took a long time to come out of the kitchen, it turned out that the hot pot was almost ready, the maids took the ingredients and other things to the restaurant, Yuzhu saw Shen Qiangrose sitting on the sofa alone and was distracted, so he walked over to help her, "Miss, it's all ready." ”
Shen Qiangrose gave a perfunctory sigh, and followed Yuzhu to the restaurant, this meal was naturally tasteless, but fortunately, she usually looked taciturn, and everyone was not surprised, and after eating a few bites at will, she pretended to be tired and went upstairs.
Lying on the bed thinking about it over and over again, I was not sure whether I should go or not, there was a grandfather clock in the bedroom, and it was very quiet in the room at this time, only it swayed again and again, and the sound was a little heavy in the dark night, but it seemed to be devastating, which made her upset.
Wu thought about it for a while, but got up to change clothes, raised his eyes and saw that the time was almost up, so he went out and rang the electric bell, Yuzhu quickly went upstairs, and saw that she looked neatly dressed, and asked in surprise: "Miss, where are you going?!" ”
Shen Qiangrose didn't know how to explain, so she said, "Call the driver to prepare, I'm going to go out." ”
Yuzhu was even more surprised, "Miss, it's getting late now, what are you going to do......"
Shen Qiangrose was originally playing drums in her heart, but when she heard Yuzhu ask her, she only felt even more flustered, and after a pause, she said: "I'm just going to see someone, if you don't worry, just ask the garrison to follow." In fact, her heart is also uncertain, and she doesn't want these people to follow her to take risks, but if it is really Qiao Yunhua looking for her, then she must meet this person.
Qiang stabilized his mind and said firmly: "Tell them to prepare." After a pause, seeing Yuzhu answering dejectedly, he hurriedly said, "Don't tell Wan'er about me going out." ”
Yuzhu nodded and went out.
Shen Qiangrose was originally sitting on the sofa and waiting, but listening to the bell, it made her mind heavy, so she put on her coat and went out, and went downstairs with gentle steps, and saw Yuzhu coming over and whispered, "Miss, I'll go with you." ”
Shen Qiangrose glanced at her before nodding. The two of them walked out together, the rain was still falling outside, the sound of the rain on the eaves was already low, the light rain fell on the cheeks like fluff, but they didn't feel cold, the car waited at the bottom of the steps, and when they got into the car, they drove out quickly.
Shen Qiangrose looked at the vast night outside the window and said, "Go to West Street, there is a tailor shop around the corner." When she turned around, she saw that the military vehicles were following in unison, and in the rain, there was a clear yellow patch.
She became more and more uneasy in her heart, thinking over and over again, if this was a trap set by someone with a heart, what kind of situation would she put herself and these people, but she had come to this point, even if she blamed her stubbornness, she had to go forward.
West Street is not far away, but the car is moving very slowly in the rainy night, and through the window, there are two yellow and clear lights. Until the West Street, I saw that the whole street was pitch black, and the driver drove directly over, until the corner, I saw an inconspicuous tailor's shop, the wooden sign was slightly dumped, looking dilapidated.
Shen Qiangrose hurriedly glanced at it, and then got out of the car with her hands, and Yuzhu hurriedly followed, holding an umbrella behind. Just a few steps away, Shen Qiangrose quickly walked to the door, knocked on the door, and looked back, only to see that the military vehicle was also parked on the side of the street.
At this moment, the door was opened, and a man glanced out, and then said politely, "Miss Shen, please come in." ”
Shen Qiangrose recognized this person at a glance as the person next to Qiao Yunhua, so she was slightly relieved and walked inside, the tailor shop was very small, only a simple small hall, and there was a staircase around the corner, but it was blocked by the goods, and she looked at the room getting smaller and smaller.
She looked around and was about to ask, when she saw that the curtain at the other end was lifted, Qiao Yunhua came out of it, glanced at her intently, and then said, "Meet again, how are you doing?" ”
