Chapter Seventy-Six: The Past of Heart Disease

Nancheng and Rong Xu were childhood sweethearts, because their hometown was destroyed by the war, their relatives were killed, and the two had no choice but to follow the fleeing people to Shanjing County.

The two of them begged for a living penniless, but they did not have a good time asking for food, and they often starved and froze because they could not get money.

In order to prevent Rong Xu from going hungry, Nancheng ran several restaurants to be a partner, but because of their young age, they were kicked out, and they had no financial resources, so they had to steal and rob them.

Every time something is stolen, the delicious Nancheng will give it to Rong Xu to eat, the good-looking ones that are slightly worth a little money will be used to buy new clothes and jewelry for Rong Xu, and the worthless ones will be given to Rong Xu as gifts.

The injury on Nancheng's face was beaten by others, Rong Xu knew it in her heart, but she was still young and she would always be unable to resist the temptation of these beautiful things, and she didn't know what to do and accepted it with peace of mind.

Later, she found that the women in the Qinglou had beautiful clothes to wear, and they earned a lot of silver, so in order not to make Nancheng so hard, she specially dressed up and went to the Qinglou.

But she didn't know that the women of the Qinglou had to sell their bodies to please those masters, and those easy-to-get silver tickets were just rewards after pleasure.

It was too late for her to regret it, the deed of sale had been signed like a chain that locked her firmly, and she couldn't move, and several times Nancheng was beaten half to death in order to save her, and it was her begging that made the bustard let him live.

Knowing her weakness, the old bustard threatened her with Nancheng's life and forced her to pick up customers, and she had to compromise.

She served the first guest with a desperate life, the dagger hidden under her pillow ready to finish off the other person when he pounced, and then killed herself.

Her first guest was Xu Zhong, who had a knife on his neck and warned him not to touch her.

At that time, Xu Zhong had just taken office, and many rich people who wanted to please him gave a lot of good things, and beauties also gave a lot, but he retreated back and didn't eat them.

These rich men changed their ways, sent him to the Qinglou, and told the old bustard to serve well, just because Rong Xu had just come to be a chick with little experience, and she was good-looking, so it was Rong Xu's turn.

Xu Zhong saw that she was frightened, as a county magistrate, he should have thought about the people, so he lowered her guard and listened to her tell her what happened to her.

As the official of the people's parents, Xu Zhong couldn't bear to let Xu fall into the dust, so he ransomed her body generously and gave her some silver so that she and Nancheng would no longer beg.

In order to repay the favor, Rong Xu chose to stay as a maid for Xu Zhong for two years, and Nancheng also entered the county government with her as a small servant.

Rong Xu has always treated Xu Zhong as a benefactor, he does everything himself, takes care of him very meticulously, and Rong Xu is also very good at coaxing people, usually Xu Zhong is worried about handling cases, and Rong Xu will change the law to make him happy.

Xu Zhong's trial has always been fair, and in order to rehabilitate the people, he did not hesitate to offend those rich people, so it was inevitable that he would provoke people to kill people, and he almost became a soul under the knife several times.

It's just that Rong Xu is still the master who doesn't want to die, and others are eager to avoid it at the moment of crisis, but she rushed up to block it in order to repay her kindness without fear of death, so she was injured several times.

Sacrificing his life many times made Xu Zhong feel pity for Rong Xu and at the same time have a little more affection, but he knew that Rong Xu only had Nancheng in his heart, and it was just kindness to him.

Since Xu Zhong knew his heart for Rong Xu, he paid more and more attention to her, every time he watched her and Nancheng laugh and eat together, watched her wipe Nancheng's sweat, and looked at Nancheng's shy expression when he gave gifts......

For a moment, he wished it was him, but it wasn't him.

Nancheng went out to arrest the murderer and was seriously injured, Rong Xu was telling Xu Zhong a joke at the time, and when he heard the news, he immediately rushed out, hugging the unconscious Nancheng and crying.

Xu Zhong hurriedly asked the best doctor for treatment, but fortunately he picked up a life, Rong Xu stayed by Nancheng's side all the time except for taking care of Xu Zhong, saying that this is not allowed and that is not allowed.

Xu Zhong stood at the door several times and wanted to go in to see Nancheng's injury, but he didn't want to see the scene he didn't want to see, so he had to leave silently.

At the end of two years, Rong Xu and Nancheng said goodbye to Xu Zhong and left the county office.

The next day, Xu Zhong received an anonymous letter, saying that Rong Xu and Nancheng were in their hands, and if they wanted them to be safe, they would go to the abandoned mansion in the suburbs alone.

Xu Zhong immediately slapped the letter on the table, but fortunately he did not lose his mind while worrying, called all the officials to make careful arrangements, and went alone.

Rong Xu and Nancheng were tied to a pillar on the left and the right, and when the kidnappers saw Xu Zhongzhen coming alone, they immediately showed their big knives, and they hated this fair and selfless county magistrate.

There were about a dozen kidnappers, all of whom came towards Xu Zhong and wanted to kill him personally, Xu Zhong took a few steps back and turned around and ran, and the kidnappers saw that he ran away in fear, and they all laughed and chased him out.

And the kidnappers all chased Xu Zhong away, and several officials immediately climbed in from the courtyard wall to untie the ropes of the two, and just wanted to take the two to evacuate, but some of the kidnappers went and returned, mingling with the officials.

Nancheng escorted Rong Xu to a safe corner, told her to squat there and not come out, and went out by herself to continue to fight those people.

Some of the kidnappers who chased Xu Zhong out were wiped out by the officials hiding outside, turned back and saw the tragic situation inside, and rushed up with the officials behind.

Soon Xu Zhong's people had the upper hand, but one of the kidnappers was sent out and found Rong Xu hiding on the side, and immediately hijacked her to make everyone stop, and let Xu Zhong and Nancheng make a choice.

Only one of them can live, and let them decide who lives and who dies, otherwise the knife around Rong Xu's neck will kill her at any time.

At that time, Xu Zhong had already made a decision, and he picked up the dagger on the ground and was about to stab himself, but the moment the dagger stabbed down, Nancheng suddenly grabbed his hand, turned around and stabbed himself in the chest.

Before picking up the dagger, Xu Zhong secretly gave the official next to him a look, and at the same time as he stabbed down, the official kicked the stone on the ground and hit the kidnapper's sword-wielding hand.

The kidnapper let go of the sword, Rong Xu took the opportunity to push away the kidnapper and ran towards Nancheng, the dagger in her chest was surrounded by shocking blood, she didn't dare to reach out to touch it, she could only cry incessantly.

The official solved the other kidnappers and waited for standby, Xu Zhong asked people to take Nancheng's body back for a thick burial, Rong Xu wanted to go back with him after crying bitterly, but fainted due to excessive sadness.

After Nancheng's death, Rong Xu's spirit was much worse than before, although he could usually smile and talk to people, but Xu Zhong knew that it was just a forced smile, so he told her the jokes she had told before to make her happy.

Xu Zhong will accompany her when she is fine, talking, shopping, as long as it can make her smile, he will do it, even if he makes himself disgraced and embarrassed, he is willing to try it with his heart.

But he never got into her heart.

Until one night, she dreamed that Nancheng came to her, and she went to look for him despite the other people's obstacles, and she was the only one in the empty street who went crazy and cried Nancheng's name.

However, that night, a pair of ill-intentioned eyes stared at her, and when she ran and shouted, she suddenly appeared and covered her mouth and dragged her into the alley.

No matter how hard she struggled and screamed, she looked so helpless and desolate in the dark alley, and she couldn't resist the rude behavior of the people on her body.

At that moment, she could only let others bully, listening to the satisfied laughter of others and leaving, two tear stains finally slipped down the corners of her eyes, and her fingers scratched the ground fiercely and left bloody scratches.

When Xu Zhong found her, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and she was curled up in the corner with her knees all over her hands, her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were empty, and she looked sluggish and numb.

He felt a pain in his heart, took off his coat and wrapped it around her, and gently hugged her into his arms, for fear that a little force would hurt her.

But she suddenly showed a frightened look on her face, screamed and slapped him desperately like crazy, asking him not to touch her, let him get out, Xu Zhong endured the pain and never let go, patiently comforting him.

It took her a while to regain consciousness, grabbing Xu Zhong's clothes and crying in his arms, saying over and over again that she had lost her virginity and was dirty, and Nancheng would not like her anymore and would not want her anymore......

He waited for her to finish venting, hugged her tightly and said, I want you, marry me, I will take good care of you for Nancheng.

She agreed.
