Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Human Heart Is Unfathomable
"What?" I raised my voice in surprise, but soon lowered my voice again, afraid that the wall would be heard by outsiders.
Xiao Lengyan said that the "rat man" was called Lin Changsheng, who was Lin Muqing's only son, and after Hongru's people found him, they used him as a bargaining chip to force Lin Muqing to show up.
It's just that Hongru didn't know that at that time, Lin Mu put shackles on himself early in the morning and imprisoned himself.
"He put the shackles on himself?" I did see the "big guy" at his ankles, with two broken chains tied to them.
Xiao Leng nodded, Lin Muqing was worried that after he became a beast, he would not be able to control himself, so he would use shackles to imprison himself, but he didn't expect that the heart of the people is vicious, and if he lets others go, it doesn't mean that others will let him go.
I frowned when I heard this, if this is really the case, then the owner of Hongru should be more vicious than a snake and scorpion, right?
"That's why I won't let you into the pawnshop." Xiao looked at me coldly, paused and said, "However, don't worry, the time has not yet come, and they will not hurt you yet." ”
I nodded indifferently, but my heart was mixed, at least, in the past three years, Qingru seemed to be my second home.
Fu Lao also took care of me like an elder, which made my feelings for Hongru extremely complicated.
"Sleep, before the storm comes, we have to gather strength and make ourselves strong, don't we?" Xiao Leng finished speaking, and once again took me into his arms.
I could hear his heart beating strongly.
"I have one last question." Leaning against his chest, I hesitated, but still asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am, you just have to remember that I regard you as life, and I have been waiting for you before you were born." He finished and closed his eyes.
I raised my head slightly, looking at him, his long eyelashes, trembling slightly, but soon fell asleep with his eyebrows on his face, at this moment, I wanted to reach out and take off the mask on his face to see what he looked like.
In the end, though, I held back.
Leaning on his arms, even in the sweltering summer day, I feel very cool, and there is a sense of steadiness in my heart that I have never felt before.
Slowly, I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Fu Lao knocked on the door, I found myself already lying on the bed, but Xiao Lengyan had long since disappeared.
We people want to return to Qingru immediately, except for Zhuo Yifan, who was seriously injured, the rest of the people will go back with us, including Tiezi.
Fu Lao did not let Tiezi be treated in the hospital, but planned to take Tiezi away directly.
Tiezi's condition was terrible, I sat in the same car with him, he was draped in a blanket, his lips were purple, and his whole body was trembling, exactly like the man who came to Qingru to pawn the dog's head.
"Brother Tiezi, do you want to drink some hot water?" I unscrewed the kettle that Fu Lao handed me, and the water here was specially for Tiezi to drink.
Tiezi trembled and stretched out his hand to take the kettle, but because his hand was shaking so badly, the hot tea in it spilled.
Tiezi hurriedly stretched his neck and drank several sips of hot water, and his face was slightly better, but he still shrank his body, still unable to restrain the trembling of his body.
Now he can't feel the itch anymore, maybe because he is paralyzed, after all, when he is awake, he will tell me that his body is very stiff and uncomfortable.
And even more unbearable than this stiffness is the cold, this cold is from the inside out, in addition to drinking some hot water and eating something in the car, Tiezi sleeps the whole time.
Sometimes, when I saw him sleeping with his eyes closed, I even had the illusion that it was already a corpse, because it was lifeless.
Just like that, it was a bumpy road, and Fu Laoxian took our group back to Qingru.
Qing Ruli was very quiet as usual, Guo Chaofeng was very dissatisfied with me for not saying a word to him in person, and left, in front of Fu Lao, he scolded me, and in the end Fu Lao became a peacemaker, Guo Chaofeng let me go.
"Guo Chaofeng, this little Jiu'er still has to bother you to teach well, we will go back in a while and give the owner his life." When Fu Lao and Guo Chaofeng were drinking tea, they suddenly said this.
Guo Chaofeng nodded, his eyes glanced at me, and he didn't say anything.
In the evening, Fu Lao really led a group of people to leave, including Tiezi, who was already dying.
Originally, he also wanted to take Wu Gang away, but Wu Gang was very stubborn, he was no longer willing to follow Fu Lao back to Hongru, probably because his heart was already cold when he saw so many of his brothers die in front of him, so no matter how Fu Lao persuaded him, he didn't change his mind.
In the end, Fu Lao could only nod and say yes, let Wu Gang recuperate in Qingru, and wait a few days, he will come here again, hoping that Wu Gang can go back with him at that time.
Wu Gang didn't speak, Fu Lao glanced at me, and motioned for Hongqing to let them go.
"Old Fu, Brother Tiezi?" I wonder what they're going to do with the iron.
"Let's take him back, he is a Hongru after all, and the owner will definitely try his best to save him." When Fu Lao said this, it made people feel that the owner seemed to be affectionate and righteous.
"Really?" I am skeptical.
"Xiao Jiu'er's owner never hesitates to take care of his own people, this is true for Tiezi, and the same is true for you." Fu Lao brought it to me inexplicably.
"To me? I've never met him. I frowned.
"But he has always remembered you, but now is not the time, one day he will meet you." After Fu Lao finished speaking, he patted me on the shoulder, turned around and left with the group of people.
Guo Chaofeng, who was behind me, also said meaningfully: "The owner is kind to everyone. ”
He didn't know that this sentence was a little harsh in my ears, and after knowing that he used Lin Changsheng to try to lead out Lin Muqing, I didn't have a good impression of this owner.
It's just that now, I can only stay in Qingru, and only by staying here can I have the opportunity to explore the mystery in my heart.

I agree with Xiao Lengyan's point of view, but how many people in this world can see the essence of their hearts through this surface?
