Chapter 170: Calm

There was a homicide.

Tianqing County was originally not big, so naturally it quickly spread throughout the county.

Fortunately, the next day, the county government posted a notice to the people, saying that the lawbreakers had been arrested.

The atmosphere of panic that had just been created quickly dissipated again.

It's just that for the first two or three days, there were still no people on the streets.

After another two or three days, there were gradually bold people on the streets,—— not all of them were bold, but there were also small businessmen who were forced to come out to make a living.

Some people tried to come out and walk around and do business, and found that it was really calm, and the expressions on the faces of the officers who came out to patrol the streets were very relaxed.

Those who are particularly bold take the initiative to talk to the officers.

The servants simply took the gong out, and while knocking it, they told the people in the county town that they could come out normally, and that there were bandits who broke into the county seat before, but they had all been arrested by the county lords, and none of them escaped the net.

If you can't go out for several days, who isn't depressed?

The people were cautious, and they tried to go out little by little, and only after finding that it was really calm, did they slowly take to the streets.

By the time Tianqing County returned to normal life order, it had been another two days.

The return of Shopkeeper Qin and the others also made Yuan Ning more convinced that everything was okay outside, so he was relieved to send his younger siblings to school.

Ji Xiu was alone at home, Sister-in-law Liu was a little frightened, stupid and stupid, and the stall in the kitchen was counting on Aunt Zhang alone, and she really couldn't take care of her. Aunt Lin was infected with the wind and cold again, and she was afraid of infecting the children, so she insisted on letting Lin Yue send her home.

Yuan Ning put down everything at hand for the time being, played with Ji Xiu by himself, and made her windmills, wind chimes, and sandbags.

Ji Xiu had a lot of fun, and when she was tired of playing, she fell asleep on her eldest sister's shoulder.

Yuan Ning sent Ji Xiu back to settle down and sleep, and then went to figure out how to improve his heating system.

It is unlikely that it will be made into plumbing, after all, the current smelting is not up to par, and if you use ironware, it will all rust in a year or two, and there is no pressure pump.

While pondering, there was a knock at the courtyard door.

Aunt Zhang was busy and couldn't pull away, so she shouted: "Big girl, go and see the door!" ”

Yuan Ning walked to the door and asked who was outside.

"It's me." Outside the door was Su Heting's slightly smiling voice.

Yuan Ning hurriedly went to open the door, and in a panic, the door latch fell down, just hitting the surface of her foot, she "hissed" in pain and almost jumped up.

Su Heting's voice was tense, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Yuan Ning took off all the latches, let Su Heting in, and re-put the latches on, "Why did you come here at this time?" ”

"It's okay, I'm here to report safety, so that you don't miss it." Su Heting said.

Yuan Ning bit his lip, "Who...... Who said I missed it? ”

Su Heting saw that her face was slightly red, with a sense of shyness, and he couldn't help but be a little unable to react.

When he saw that she was walking quite right, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm, "What's wrong?" Got a broken foot? ”

"No......" Yuan Ning was a little annoyed, "the latch fell on the surface of his feet." ”

"Why was it so careless?" Su Heting kept carrying her into the house and sat down, squatting in front of her, "I'll take a look." ”

Yuan Ning shrank his feet, not to mention in this era, even in the original era, there were no girls who casually let boys show their feet, "I'm fine." "I just felt like my cheeks were burning.

Su Heting also noticed that he was in a hurry and had made inappropriate behavior, and he was also a little uncomfortable, coughed dryly, took a few steps back, sat down on the side, and explained: "I don't mean anything else......

"I know......" Yuan Ning lowered his head and whispered, "It's just that it hurt a little just now, but now it's much better, it should be fine." ”

"Otherwise," Su Heting was still not at ease, "You go back to the room to have a look, if it is okay, everyone will be relieved." ”

Yuan Ning had to get up and go into the house, staying, and the two faced each other silently, which made them even more embarrassed.

Aunt Zhang brought tea and snacks in, and when she saw that he was the only one in the hall, she couldn't help but wonder, "What about the big girl?" ”

"I," Su Heting lied casually, "I went into the house and got something." ”

Aunt Zhang didn't pay much attention, put down her things, said a few polite words, and went back to the kitchen to work.

Yuan Ning went back to the room and took off his shoes and socks, and after careful inspection, the surface of his feet was only slightly red, and he was not swollen, so it was obvious that there was no big problem, he put on his shoes and socks again, walked a few steps on the ground, and it didn't hurt much, so he came out again.

Su Heting sat there, his elbows propped up on the table, the back of his hands on his cheeks, and he was closing his eyes to recuperate.

She hadn't seen her for a few days, and she originally thought that Su Heting would lose a lot of weight, after all, what he was facing was not a trivial matter, and it would definitely take a lot of time and energy.

But looking at it this way, it seems that nothing has changed except for some tiredness?

This man is still so handsome......

The eyebrows are like peaks, like a sword, the eyelids are drooping, the eyelashes are like crow feathers, the nose is like a jade pillar, straight and erect, the thin and moderately thick lips are slightly pursed, slightly dry and peeling, but it does not affect the beauty of the shape.

After looking at it like this for a while, Yuan Ning felt that his heartbeat was unassuming, and he became manic.

He stepped back, worried that the man would fall asleep and catch a cold, so he went back to the room, opened the cupboard, and took out a thick cotton coat and covered him.

With just such a small movement, Su Heting was awakened, opened his hazy eyes, his eyes were soft, and before he could see the person in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "I'm asleep?" ”

Yuan Ning lowered his head and quickly retracted his hand, "Yes, these days, I'm afraid I'm tired, right?" ”

"It's okay," Su Heting covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, "It's just that I've been in a hurry to do official documents in the past two days, and I've not slept enough." ”

Yuan Ning was a little distressed, "Why don't you sleep first?" ”

Su Heting thought for a while, then nodded and agreed, the general trend was settled, and he had a period of leisure.

Yuan Ning immediately went to Bo Zhong and them, moved the kang table to the side, laid out the futon for Su Heting, and called him to go in and rest.

When I came out, I saw Su Heting standing with the cotton coat on his body, and when he saw her come out, he raised his eyes and asked happily, "This is made for me?" ”

"Made for Bo Zhong!" Yuan Ning blurted out, and regretted it as soon as the words came out, isn't this trying to cover up?

Su Heting smiled, "I don't believe it!" How can Bo Zhong wear it! ”

"Quick...... Go to sleep," Yuan Ning pushed him over, "I'll call you when it's time to eat." ”

Su Heting took the opportunity to walk over there, touching the cotton clothes on his body, quite a little affectionate, "Call me up early, I still have something to say to you." ”

Yuan Ning agreed haphazardly, and when he entered, he lowered the door curtain and turned back to his room.
