Chapter 12: The First Quarrel
My heart quickened, and tension and fear rushed over me. What am I going to do now? Call the police, impossible! These things have never been reported to the police. Leave! But maybe this is an important clue? Break in? This is even more impossible, the situation inside is unknown, I just broke in, and my life was not guaranteed.
When I was embarrassed, I saw Ren Qiancang who walked in in a hurry. There was never a sound of footsteps when he walked. If it weren't for me facing the courtyard gate, I wouldn't know he was coming. As soon as he was about to speak, I put my index finger to my lips and made a gesture to him to keep quiet.
Ren Qiancang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood. He has the hearing of a cat, and he hears sounds much clearer than I do. He listened for a few seconds, then jumped onto the roof and crouched down on it. I was worried, but I knew I couldn't make a sound.
Ren Qiancang's skills, I can trust, he won't make a little sound. I watched him squat down on the roof, and I didn't know if I saw something in the room. After a few seconds, he jumped down and pulled me away.
Walking out of the old man's yard, I eagerly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there someone in the room who wants to kill him? Shall we help? Didn't you say that you can't let him die for the time being? ”
"I said I wouldn't let him die for the time being, but that doesn't mean others won't."
"Who's in the old man's room?"
"No one, just him."
"And he...... Say...... Is it haunted? My voice trembled. My mind is making up the picture of Aunt Xiao becoming a powerful ghost and coming up to take his life.
Ren Qiancang sensed my fear, stopped, increased the strength of his grip on my hand, and said, "No, he was eroded by corpse poison, and his thighs began to rot in." When I watched, he was poking himself in the wound with an ancient knife to ward off evil spirits. He thought it was a ghost, and without Wu Guang's presence, he would just be tossing like this. Let him suffer a little more, Wu Guang will find out when he comes back, and he will naturally send him to the hospital. When the time comes, let the old Chinese medicine doctor see, at most, he sawed that leg. ”
"Ren Qiancang, let's go and take him to the hospital now."
My words made Ren Qiancang's eyes change. He let go of my hand: "Sympathize with him?" ”
"I ...... He won't die anyway, so how about we just call the Chinese medicine hospital? ”
"Merchant, have you forgotten the first time you saw me? I waited in that little building for decades, and when I was beheaded by them, did he sympathize with me? He was retribution. After Ren Qiancang finished speaking, he turned around and left, I looked at his background, thinking about the injury on the back of Yuan Xue's hand, and felt embarrassed for a while. I know I'm still not ruthless enough, and even if I get to this point, I'll still have thoughts of soft-heartedness.
And the moment Ren Qiancang let go of my hand, my heart really hurt. I didn't catch up with him, took out my mobile phone, and called Ye Cheng. I don't have Wu Guang's phone, so I can only call Ye Cheng. The phone was connected, and I only said one sentence: "Old man Ren is in the room, infected with corpse poison." With that, I hung up my phone and turned it off.
That's all I can do for the old man. Let him suffer less.
By the time I returned to our yard, Ren Qiancang had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, and was sitting in front of the computer. I stood in front of the door and asked, "Have you been with Xu Xin this afternoon?" ”
Ren Qiancang responded: "Hmm." ”
"And what did you say? What does she have on all those papers? Who gave it to her? Ren Qiancang turned his face, looked at me, and said, "Shangshang, your first question is what did we say?" You still care more about my relationship with Xu Xin. I've already told you, I don't have any feelings about this Xu Xin. Why are you holding on to this question? Is it because I loved other women before, do you have to remember it for the rest of your life? ”
"No, I ...... I just asked casually. "The way he suddenly got angry scared me. And today he seems to be very angry, and he hasn't said a few words, he is so aggressive. I swallowed nervously and said, "I'm going to take a shower." ”
I walked towards the bathroom door, only to remember the blood-colored water that had come out of the valve last night. With a burst of fear in his heart, he took two steps back. Looking at Ren Qiancang again, he was still sitting in front of the computer and kept staring at the desktop of the computer. It's obviously angry.
I smiled bitterly in my heart. Before, he told me that he and Xu Xin were fine, and I believed it. Now that he and Xu Xin are fine, I began to doubt. Because in the past, even if there was something more important, he would not leave me alone in danger. Now that his heart is occupied by anger or something, he doesn't even think that I am alone here and afraid.
I bit my lip and tried to remind him, "Ren Qiancang, I'm afraid." ”
He said impatiently: "What are you afraid of?" When I was in the small building, I scared you like that, you didn't go to the shower by yourself! ”
I secretly exhaled to calm myself down, but I found that my heart was beating faster and my hands were trembling slightly. These are not because of fear, but because of anger.
Compared with the bleeding from the water valve, Ren Qiancang didn't care about me, and I was more concerned. I yelled at him, "That's good! Anyway, even if you get drenched in blood, you can't die! I strode into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
In the bathroom, I leaned against the back of the door and it took me a while to calm down before I realized we had a fight. It was probably the first time we'd had had such an argument, and a sense of unease came over us. Yesterday, we just got married, and today we quarreled. What changed him?
I walked to the bathtub and chose the bathtub, so that I could boil the water first and wash it only after seeing that the water was clean.
Soaking in the bathtub, I thought about today's events. Maybe Ren Qiancang encountered something else outside that upset him, so he ignored me. I should be stronger, and not like a little woman to ask for his protection. I shouldn't be angry, I should share his worries.
I figured it out, and when I walked out of the bathroom, there was no one in the room. Ren Qiancang is not in front of the computer, not in bed, and not in the living room outside. I pulled out my phone and called him, and the sound of it turning off was still coming.
Listening to the sound of the phone turning off over and over again, I was so distraught that I forgot all the things I had just thought about in the bathroom. At that time, if Ren Qiancang stood in front of me, I would definitely be a little woman and scold unreasonably first.
But he didn't show up, not for the whole night. Because of this fluctuation, I didn't pay attention to the situation on the old man's side. So I didn't know that the old man was sent to the Chinese medicine hospital overnight. Wu Guang said to the people in the courtyard that the old man had been treated in the hospital before, and now he was back for a day, and he would be sent to the hospital overnight when he was tired.
That night, I lay on the sofa in the living room, holding my little black kitten, waiting for Ren Qiancang to come back. I didn't go to bed. Because here, right in front of the door, as soon as he comes back, I see him right away.
I followed the black cat's fur and said to it: "Kitten, what's wrong with Ren Qiancang today?" Didn't he just go to find Xu Xin, why did he seem to be a different person? Are you angry with me and blame me for calling them to take the old man to the hospital? In fact, the old man is quite pitiful. Listening to what he said at the well that day, I think he was also quite miserable. Hey, you're still so young, you can't understand what I'm saying? Your brothers and sisters are all spiritual pets, aren't you? Probably not. Alas, where is Ren Qiancang now? It's so late, he can't do something dangerous, right? Yikes! It won't be going to Xu Xin again, right? ……”
I talked a lot and ended up falling asleep on the couch. It's just that when I was sleeping in a daze, I seemed to see the pet cat basking in the moonlight in front of the door directly from the living room. It also meowed at me.
When I woke up the next day, Ren Qiancang still hadn't come back. The door to the living room was still open, but the pet cat was gone. The kitten was still asleep on top of me, but because I sat up, it woke up, jumped off me, and stretched.
The loss in my heart was certain, but I didn't hide in my room either. Out of the yard, I went to the kitchen for breakfast and began to inquire about last night's events.
It's just that when I passed, Bao Ye happened to be eating breakfast there.
I sat with him on the stone chair in the courtyard with breakfast, and while listening to the security guard who was also eating breakfast talking about last night, I learned that the old man had been sent to the hospital overnight.
The security guards were all going to shift shifts, and they left in a hurry after eating. The old gentleman transferred from the library also ate a few bites, and went to sweep the floor and wipe the table.
For a while, there were only two people left, me and Bao Ye, and then I asked, "What about Ren Qiancang?" Do you know? ”
"Your husband, why are you asking me? I'm not your junior. ”
I gave him a blank look: "Speak well, after he went to find Xu Xin yesterday, he became weird, and he didn't come back last night." ”
"Don't worry, Xu Xin won't sell him. When you're old, no one will buy it. ”
I looked at him, exhaled, and decided to give up. Just as I stood up and was about to leave, I heard him say in a low voice: "He went to Ye Yan to inquire about Xu Xin." He said Xu Xin was suspicious. ”
I sat back down next to him: "What about you?" Why don't you go and ask? You've known Xu Xin for longer than we do. ”
Bao Ye's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened, did not speak, and lowered his head again to continue eating.
I saw his uneasiness and continued: "Xu Xin is so beautiful, you don't like her? Beautiful women have privileges, will you release water on her? ”
Bao Ye still didn't answer.
I stood up and said, "Okay, I got it." ”
