Su Mulian knelt on the ground with Su Muzhi and cried in a low voice.

Cheng Aoran, who was standing in the corner, saw that after the villagers dispersed, he looked at the painful Su Mulian, and his heart also twitched, and he walked over slowly, and comforted in a low voice: "Miss Su, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me today, this wouldn't have happened." ”

Su Mulian shook her head weakly, her voice became hoarse, and she whispered: "Today I want to thank you for saving my life, Cheng Aoran, you go back first, I want to be alone." ”

Cheng Aoran wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, sighed lightly, and left.

The next day, with the help of the villagers, Su Mulian cleaned up the burned house, and was blown by the night wind all night, and she could still smell the smell of burning, and then thanked the villagers again and again, and then left with Su Muzhi and went to the store.

Su Mulian, who was in a frustrated mood, entered the kitchen, and Su Muzhi, who was fighting with flour, felt very sorry for her sister, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

Su Mulian, who had reconciled the flour, kneaded the flour again, began to make pastries, and then put them on the kang to burn, and after a while, the fragrant pastries were baked.

"Mu Lian." At this time, Liu Xinghe's voice came from inside the store.

Su Mulian walked out, looking at his anxious expression, she only frowned and did not speak.

Liu Xinghe saw that the woman in front of him had a pale and weak face, and the six masters were godless, he frowned distressedly, and stepped forward to ask with concern: "Mu Lian, I haven't seen her for a day, why did such a big thing happen?" ”

The matter of the Su family has not only spread in the village, but has also become a household name in Qingyuan Town, and the people of the Su family have also become rats crossing the street and dare not go out.

Su Mulian tugged at the corners of her mouth, sat on the bench, and said weakly: "Some things are already doomed, how can you escape if you want to?" ”

"Mu Lian, don't worry, I've already sent someone to find Su Mao." Liu Xinghe said, "Now everyone is looking for him, as long as he comes out, he will definitely be discovered." ”

Su Mulian smiled lightly and shook her head: "Su Mao is cunning, even the people of the official family can't find it, let alone your people?" Xinghe, don't look for it anymore, besides, Su Mao is cruel, if there is another accident, I ......"

"But you can't let Su Mao get away with it!" Liu Xinghe didn't wait for Su Mulian to finish speaking, and then interrupted anxiously.

Su Mulian smiled meaningfully, and did not answer his words, but changed the topic and said, "I plan to sell this store." ”

"What?" When Liu Xinghe and Su Muzhi heard it, they were surprised in unison.

"Sister, isn't our store's business doing well?" Su Muzhi, who came out with the food, really happened to hear this, and walked forward incredibly, sat beside her, and asked suspiciously.

Su Mulian smiled faintly: "This place is full of memories of my father and mother, I sold this shop, and then went to buy a set of backyard shops closer to the town center." ”

Su Muzhi, who heard this, breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that her sister would be like her mother, her expression would become in a trance, and she was even more afraid that she would leave.

Su Mulian took Su Muzhi's hand and said in a low voice: "In the future, you and I will depend on each other." ”

Su Muzhi smiled and said in a low voice: "Sister, if it weren't for you and my father, I would be just an orphan wandering away now, and it was you who made me feel the warmth of home." ”

Su Mulian, who was in tears, smiled with relief.

Liu Xinghe looked at Su Muzhi's pretended to be strong, and he felt distressed, he wanted to protect her for the rest of his life.

"Mu Lian, is the silver enough?" Liu Xinghe asked with concern, after all, the price close to the town center is not the same as the price here.

Su Mulian felt three pressures on herself, but fortunately, she had the foresight to hand over all the silver to Cheng Aoran for safekeeping, and said in a low voice: "Sell this shop, plus the money you earned before, you should be able to buy a set." ”

"Besides, it takes a while to sell a shop, and during this time, I can still sell pastries and make some money."

Liu Xinghe saw her hard work, and became even more distressed.

"Na Mulian, if you need help, call me as soon as possible, and I'll go back first." Liu Xinghe said, and then left.

After the death of her father, the tragic death of her little sister, and the whereabouts of her younger brother are unknown, Su Mulian has become no longer as lively as before, and she is worried and silent all day long.

Su Muzhi was very worried in her heart, so she sandwiched a piece of food and put it in a bowl for her, and comforted: "Sister, I will be here in the future." ”

"You have to be there, you know?" Su Mulian looked at Su Muzhi seriously and reminded in a low voice.

Su Muzhi nodded, and then didn't say anything, but lowered his head and ate silently.

After eating, Su Muzhi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Su Mulian, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time, also relieved herself, went to get a large wooden board, dipped it in ink and wrote: Sold in the store, the price is negotiable.

It is then placed in front of the store.

"Muzhi, I'll go out for a while." Su Mulian said, and then went to the street to find Cheng Aoran.

Cheng Aoran was selling his prey, and this was the first time Su Mulian had come.

"Miss Su, why are you here?" After the transaction, Cheng Aoran was a little surprised, but with a little surprise, he said.

Su Mulian looked around, and after no one was there, she approached him and said cautiously: "I plan to sell the shop here, buy a new one, and give me the money I put with you when I need it." ”

Cheng Aoran was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but nodded and said, "Okay, where are you going to buy it?" ”

Su Mulian thought for a while and said, "Near the north street in the town, there is a house with a backyard, and it has been vacant for a long time, I plan to buy it there." ”

It's just that the price is a bit expensive for her, but if you want to make a fortune, you must spend a lot of money.

Cheng Aoran probably knew where it was, and nodded.

"Cheng Aoran, I still have something to do, so I won't tell you." Su Mulian, who suddenly thought of something, said anxiously.

"You...... Are you alright? Cheng Aoran could see that she was very tired and stubborn.

Su Mulian squeezed out a smile, shook her head weakly, and comforted herself: "How can there be smooth sailing in this life, hardships and ups and downs are just human nature, Cheng Aoran, thank you, I'm fine." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Cheng Aoran looked at her distant back, much thinner than before, and much more lonely and desolate, and her heart was pinched together.

Su Mulian walked outside the yamen, walked up the steps, took off the wooden hammer, and began to beat the drum, every drum that was knocked down pierced her heart, so painful that she couldn't breathe, and said with tears.

"The folk girl has something to ask to see!"
