Chapter 62: A Woman's Heart
After listening to Yan Qingdu's words, Ruan Si fell silent for a long time.
How could it be him?
Ruan Si still remembers that person, he had a scar on his face, extending from the corner of his mouth to behind his ear, looking like a fierce smile.
He almost beat Yan Qingdu to death in public in the ring.
Yan Qingdu sighed: "I was planted in the hands of the same person twice. ”
In the past, when Wei Changsheng came to visit her at Yan's house, he once said that this Howling Mountain Tiger was the most mysterious, and no one had seen his true face.
But Yan Qingdu kept saying that the person who competed with him in the Dragon Boat Festival ring was the Whistling Mountain Tiger.
Ruan Si twisted his rope and asked tentatively, "How can the eldest brother be sure that he is the Whistling Mountain Tiger?" ”
He said: "I went into the cottage and searched for several days, and found that the man had been staying in the main house every day, and others were obedient to him. ”
Ruan Si whispered: "Then could he be a cronie of the Whistling Mountain Tiger?" ”
"No, it won't."
Yan Qingdu said categorically: "If that person is just reckless, he will not be unknown with his skills." ”
"And," his expression changed, "he is more dangerous than the wild wolves in the mountains, and he is not afraid of being counterattacked if he keeps the wolf as a dog?" ”
Ruan Si listened silently, noncommittal.
Yan Qingdu waved his hand and said, "You go back, when the second brother comes back, I will talk to him again." ”
Ruan Si hurriedly asked, "Big brother, how did you get into the bandit camp?" I've heard people say that it's heavily guarded, and it's hard for birds to cross. ”
"I asked a friend to find a trail up the mountain."
Yan Qingdu frowned and thought for a while and said, "But after I was captured, there was a checkpoint on that path, and I am afraid that it will not be able to go." ”
Ruan Si said a few more words to him, persuading him not to think too much and to recuperate from his injuries.
As she left the room, her heart sank uncontrollably.
It seems that if you want to get rid of the Whistling Mountain Tiger, you have to start from somewhere else, and you can only wait for Feng Shaoyu to find out the situation.
It's strange to say, Liu Ruying has been as quiet as a chicken these days, and rarely brings some cold food to feed her.
It's rare that her cousin doesn't make trouble, why does she think something will happen?
She specially asked Jin Ling'er, saying that Liu Ruying had been running to Mrs. Yan's room recently, and she stayed there for half a day.
Ruan Si looked up at the sky.
It doesn't seem like the sun is coming out of the west today, is it?
Liu Ruying came to Mrs. Yan's room early in the morning to talk with her.
When Zhu Dongyan came in to say goodbye, Liu Ruying was talking to Mrs. Yan about the Ruan family.
"Old lady, don't you know, my aunt wants to teach my cousin daughter red poetry, but my uncle wants to teach her to dance with knives and guns, and the two often argue."
"My cousin's temperament is that of my uncle, she grew up in a pile of boys, and she doesn't take the defense of men and women so seriously......"
Old Madam Yan listened with a smile, as if she was a talking starling.
"The eldest daughter-in-law is here." Mrs. Yan's eyes lit up, "Come on, come and sit next to grandma." ”
Liu Ruying swallowed the rest of the words back into her stomach.
Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she still smiled gently and softly on the surface: "My sister has been tired of taking care of my eldest brother these days. ”
Zhu Dongyan shook his head.
Liu Ruying pretended to be concerned and asked, "Is my sister's throat uncomfortable?" ”
Old Madam Yan glanced at her and said slowly: "This child suffered from the wind chill some time ago, and his voice has not been neat. ”
Zhu Dongyan didn't make a sound, and the three of them each ate tea for a while.
Liu Ruying suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Although it is a minor illness, it is not good to drag it out for a long time, so I still have to ask a doctor to take a look." ”
Zhu Dongyan bowed his head at her and said, "Thank you, sister, for your concern." ”
Her voice was hoarse like the wailing of a dying bird.
Listening to her own voice, she couldn't stand it for the first time, pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Mrs. Yan patted the back of her hand and motioned for her to go back to her room to rest first.
Liu Ruying held Zhu Dongyan affectionately and said with a smile: "I heard my sister's voice hoarse, as if she had been sick for a long time, and she must not be careless." ”
Her eyes kept glancing at Zhu Dongyan's neck.
"This silk handkerchief tied by my sister is so exquisite, and it is embroidered with orchids, right? This material looks like silk ......."
Liu Ruying suddenly grabbed a corner of silk handkerchief and twisted it hard.
The slipknot on the silk handkerchief was torn open, and Liu Ruying let out an "oops" and pretended to accidentally tear the silk handkerchief off.
Zhu Dongyan hurriedly raised his hand to cover his neck.
But it was too late, Liu Ruying saw the hideous scar on her neck.
"Sister, I was wrong, I don't know ...... sister"
Without waiting for Zhu Dongyan to ask, Liu Ruying had already burst into tears, wiping her tears and looking straight at her.
Old Madam Yan sighed: "Eldest daughter-in-law, it's time to change the medicine in Qingdu, right?" ”
Zhu Dongyan stood up and blessed him, turned around and left the room.
Liu Ruying knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and cried: "Grandma, I didn't mean to, I don't know." ”
She cried sadly, looking weak with pear blossoms and rain, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Although Mrs. Yan felt that she was very squeamish and squeamish, but now seeing her crying into tears, she couldn't bear it in her heart.
"Good boy, don't cry, the eldest daughter-in-law is not a scheming person."
Liu Ruying heard this and cried even more.
"My sister has a good temperament and refuses to punish me, so I feel sorry for her being wronged, and I am worried that she will hold everything in her heart."
Old Madam Yan sighed and said, "The old man is old, and when I see your grandchildren crying, my heart is broken. ”
The grandmother next to her also persuaded: "Girl of the Liu family, do you want to pull the old lady to cry with you?" ”
Liu Ruying sobbed, and then slowly stopped her tears.
"Grandma, I originally heard that there was a theater troupe in the city, and it was very lively, so I wanted to invite my grandmother and sister to go to the theater together."
Old Madam Yan shook her head and said, "The eldest daughter-in-law wants to take care of Qingdu, so she should have no intention of accompanying you to the play." ”
Liu Ruying hurriedly said: "Then can I invite my grandmother to watch the play?" When the time comes, order a few lively and festive dramas, Grandma Bao likes it. ”
She spoke earnestly, and Mrs. Yan couldn't refuse.
"The old body has back ears, the body is weak, and he rarely goes out. You should take the second daughter-in-law to accompany you. ”
Liu Ruying's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "My cousin has been inconvenient these days, so it's better not to go to a crowded place." ”
When Mrs. Yan heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she asked hesitantly, "What is the second daughter-in-law?" ”
Liu Ruying deliberately pressed not to mention it, and said coquettishly in front of the old man: "Grandma goes out with me, I just want to take grandma to be lively." ”
"If grandma dislikes Ying'er's stupidity, Ying'er will go back to Peach Blossom County tomorrow and won't disturb grandma's purity."
Unable to stand her plea, Mrs. Yan was a little shaken, and worried that she felt that she had been neglected, so when she went back, it would affect the Ruan family and the Yan family.
Mrs. Yan smiled at Mama and said, "I'm so old, and I still go with these children to catch up with the fun, and I'm afraid that people will laugh at me if I say it." ”
As soon as Liu Ruying heard that there was a play, her grandmother was even longer and her grandmother was short, and she coaxed Mrs. Yan to agree to accompany her to the theater.
Here, Mrs. Yan was taken out by Liu Ruying.
Ruan Si didn't know it, and was still talking to Feng Shaoyu in the store.
The madman has figured out the man's old background in the past few days, saying that the man has been collecting vegetables and meat in the village all the year round, and pulling a cart out every day.
Because the price he gave was higher than that of the vegetable seller, many villagers were happy to sell the vegetables to him directly.
"The big boss, I can catch up these days, that person slipped and fell a few days ago and injured his leg, and he couldn't go into the mountains to deliver vegetables."
"Oh?"
Ruan Si thought quietly, even if he changed people, he was afraid that the bandits would have a password.
"I secretly followed his nephew, and the bandit gave him a code and let him in."
Ruan Si smiled: "So, as long as there is a code, if someone enters the mountain, the bandits may not be able to recognize it?" ”
Feng Shaoyu scratched his head and said, "I don't know about this." My mother said that she would cook at home the day after tomorrow and wanted you to have a meal with the bottle girl. ”
His expression was actually a little timid.
Ruan Si thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Really? Do you invite me, or do you invite the silver bottle? ”
While laughing, Jin Ling'er hurried to the store to find her.
"Miss, the old lady is gone."
