Chapter 14: The Truth
Wen Zhi blinked: "You still went to the Pu family to make a big fuss?" β
I nodded, "yes, who made them so hateful." β
Although it was very embarrassing in the end, it was not completely fruitless in the end. At least I let the people of Ningcheng know more deeply about the evil deeds of the Pu family, and inspired everyone's disgust with the Pu family.
Xiao Changfeng's voice floated over: "Maybe Zhou Hong was really not killed by the Pu family." β
I sneered: "How could it not be, you didn't see the arrogance of the two little guys of the Pu family,"
"People are arrogant, that's because the Pu family is rich." Xiao Changfeng said lightly: "Who would put the word bad guy on their faces, your perception is too superficial." β
"How do you do your best to speak for the bad guys?" I'm huffing.
I just don't think the people in the Pu family who are fighting for people are not good people.
"Maybe there's something else going on." Wen Zhi said: "Miss, think about it, you are not familiar with the place when you first came to Ningcheng, why didn't you look for that Zhou Qi, but just looked for you." β
"Naturally, it's because I spoke for him yesterday." I say.
Wen Zhi smiled: "It's just a sentence, this Zhou Qi took it to heart." Miss, think about it, Zhou Qi has been in Ningcheng for so many years, can he have no friends. Said that he has a bad character, he has no friends, at least he knows people, after his sister has an accident, he will always think of these people who stay in Ningcheng with him all day, how can he think of you at the first time, Miss. β
This is also what I was puzzled from the beginning, but when I saw Zhou Hong's body, I felt angry and uncomfortable, so I put the matter aside. Now that Wen Zhi said this, my doubts were rekindled.
"Perhaps...... It's fate. I don't believe it myself.
"Where in the world are there so many destined people, I'm afraid you read too many books." Xiao Changfeng laughed at me: "I might as well tell you directly, the person who killed Zhou Hong was none other than her younger brother Zhou Qi." β
I went over and touched his forehead: "You don't have a fever, do you?" β
I touched mine again: "I don't have a fever, how can I talk nonsense." β
Xiao Changfeng slapped my little hand away and looked at me with disgust: "Zhou Qi has been addicted to gambling all the year round and owes a lot of money, and his sister Zhou Hong earns money day and night to help him pay off his debts, he didn't tell you about it." β
I shook my head, Zhou Hong only said that her brother stole chickens and dogs that day, and he didn't do his job on weekdays, I thought he was just greedy for cheapness. But he never thought about him deeply.
"Her sister was killed by the people who paid him money, otherwise if it was really the Pu family, why would they attract attention and send people back." Xiao Changfeng babbled a lot, nothing more than to make me believe that Zhou Hong was killed by Zhou Qi, and I was just used by Zhou Qi.
I didn't believe that I wanted to go to Zhou Qi's house, and Xiao quickly took me over with light skills. The gatehouse in that dilapidated house was confined, and Zhou Hong's body in the yard was gone, and there were traces of dragging around, which should have been buried by Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi is gone, no one knows where he went, anyway, he is not in Ningcheng.
It was only at this point that I was convinced that Zhou Qi really lied to me, he was really addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money. Zhou Hong was to give money to people that night, but he was raped and killed by those gamblers. Zhou Qi knew who did it, but he didn't dare to seek justice for his sister.
"But why did he choose me?"
Xiao Changfeng said: "You look good, you are well-dressed, the jewelry you wear is not cheap, you are very rich at first glance, and you are very good at being deceived." β
Isn't that going around the corner and calling me stupid. I wept and said, "I also gave him two minas." β
Wen Zhi laughed at me: "Miss, it's better to be cautious in the future, don't be too gullible to others." β
"But the Pu family's conduct is really not good, it's too much like a bad person." I comforted myself: "It's all about helping Zhou Hong." β
After leaving Ningcheng, I was depressed all the way, and I always felt that I was too much of a loss for this matter.
Xiao Changfeng threw me two ingots of silver, which hurt a little in the palm of my hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Two ingots of silver to buy your bitter gourd face." Xiao Changfeng laughed at me again indecently.
I looked at him: "Two ingots of silver are too little, uncle give more." β
"Get out."
After walking for a long time, it was dark, and this time it was not as good as the last time I happened to be in a city, but this time it was almost dark but I was still wandering in a forest. It's autumn, and it's not too fast.
I asked him, "Aren't we lost?" β
Xiao Changfeng said: "It's not too late to know, we've been lost for a while." β
"Then why didn't you say it earlier."
"You've got a solution?"
Look down on me too much. I muttered to myself, though I really couldn't help it......
"I'm hungry, Xiao Changfeng," I haven't eaten all afternoon.
The three of us docked in a hollow open area. There was grass on the ground, and I didn't feel cold or dirty, so I just lay down.
It's so tiring.
"You're not afraid of catching a cold." Xiao Changfeng took off his coat and put it on me.
It's so warm. I wrapped it tightly and secretly smelled the smell of begonia flowers on Xiao Changfeng's clothes.
After lighting a fire and eating dry food, I lay down on the grass again with a beautiful heart, looking at the stars across the branches, counting and playing one by one.
The stars in the open place are the most beautiful, bright and big, like the Kong Ming lanterns that are put on the Qixi Festival every year in Licheng. It's just that the lantern is more beautiful, with many different colors, and how many crazy men and women will be written on it. As the lantern flies into the sky, disappearing into the dust, hoping to be seen by the gods above and fulfill his wish.
"Xiao Changfeng, don't you look at the stars like your eyes." I laughed and said, "It's like it when you laugh." β
Xiao Changfeng ignored me, I looked back at him, but found that he was also looking at me.
His eyes were warm, like a campfire burning beside me.
"What do you think I'm doing that?"
I was so uncomfortable with his stare at me.
"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you."
Xiao Changfeng is too naΓ―ve.
I pursed my lips and asked him, "Didn't you say you got lost, how do you get out?" β
"I thought you didn't care if you couldn't get out, and you still had the heart to look at the stars." Xiao Changfeng spoke with a strange look.
"Isn't there still the two of you, do I need to worry about it?" I crossed my legs.
"You're really big-hearted."
I don't just have a big heart, just because Xiao Changfeng likes me, I promised him for life and escaped from home desperately. I almost died in the hands of Chop Ling'er, thanks to Gu Xiu for saving me, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to see him. It's just that things are going around and around, I am obviously with Xiao Changfeng, and he also wants to find a century-old flame bird in order to marry me. It's just that, somehow, I just feel that Xiao Changfeng has a gap in his heart against me, and I can't touch him together.
