Jinping Street is crowded with people, and everyone is preparing for the New Year. Su Ling and Jiang Duanchen got out of the pharmacy and separated.

Is this the way home? Su Ling looked around, trying to discern the direction of the Su Mansion. But she was too short, and at a glance, she could only look at all kinds of strange faces.

"Little lady, turn your head and let the master take a look?" A not-so-bad and kind accosting interrupted Su Ling's thoughts.

Su Ling turned his head and saw that it was his second brother. "Second brother?" Su Ling was a little puzzled, didn't he recognize me?

The swinger man looked at the beauty in front of him who called his second brother, and then exclaimed: "Yo, I should have such a beautiful appearance from the little lady of which family, it turned out to be a big sister." I didn't even recognize it, you are really different from when you were in Shuolin Garden. ”

There was no half praise in the tone, but it was full of mockery.

This is the eldest son of the concubine of the Su family, Su Zisheng.

The name chosen is suave, but the side looks unruly, with a malicious smile on his face, and his eyes are as shrewd as those of a thief and a mouse, which is extremely inconsistent with the name.

Even if you look good, your character doesn't work.

Concubine Su originally wanted her son to become a Chan, but her unsuccessful son became addicted to gambling.

Su Zisheng inherited the arrogance of Concubine Su's heart higher than the sky, and he didn't like this big sister who returned home at the age of ten in his heart.

"The eldest sister should stay in Shuolin Yuan at this time, why, now she is dressed like this, is she trying to seduce anyone?" Su Zisheng stared at Su Ling directly.

Although he doesn't like this big sister, he usually feels disgusted when he looks at it twice, but I have to say that today's Su Ling is really as delicate and cute as a young lady.

Su Ling didn't know how to answer for a while, and he couldn't just say that he hid someone at home and flew me out.

Just as Su Ling wanted to perfunctory, "Second brother, you go shopping first, I'll go back first." "But the scoundrel hurriedly stopped him." My good sister, I'm going to go to the gambling house, and since we've met, I'd like to ask you to sponsor your brother. ”

"However, I don't have any money, and my mother has never given me a penny." Su Ling replied weakly.

"No money? If you don't have money, how did you get this new outfit? Stolen? Not to mention that I haven't noticed it, when did the eldest sister get this new set of clothes, I don't remember that my father prepared new clothes for you for the Spring Festival, but my mother specially explained that there was no need to prepare them for a certain animal in Shuolinyuan. Su Zisheng suddenly raised his voice fiercely, grabbed Su Ling's arm hard, and specially attracted passers-by to humiliate Su Ling.

Su Ling reflexively squatted on the ground, withdrew his arm, buried his head, hugged himself tightly, and retorted in a choked voice: "It's not stolen, I'm not an animal, I'm not, it's not a ......."

The people around were pointing fingers.

"This is the child found by the Su family? He looks lovely. ”

"I heard that the concubine of the Su family said that this child has been kept at home like an animal after being brought home, which is also strange and pitiful."

"Isn't this the girl who was with Jiang Gongzi just now? Could it be that she hooked up with Jiang Gongzi? ”

......

Gossip cut Su Lingde's chest like a knife.

No, I don't.

Su Ling wanted to resist, but she couldn't say a word, her mind was chaotic, because the crowd gathered, and fear swept over the city like a black cloud.

Su Zisheng looked bored, spat on Su Ling's head, and kicked it hard. "Damn, what a waste, it's really a disappointment, let's go, let's go to the gambling house and have fun." Immediately walked away with his fox friends without looking back.

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the crowd also dispersed.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and scattered snowflakes fell on Su Ling's shoulders.

A red oil-paper umbrella was propped up above the little man. Su Ling looked up at the person in front of him: "Gongzi Jiang, you are here." With a bright smile, there is no sign of the humiliation that has just been encountered.

Jiang Duanchen squatted down and said softly, "I finally found you, Su Ling, go home." ”

"Okay."

Shuolin Garden

Su Ling looked at the room full of good things, and his eyes instantly brightened a lot.

"Jiang Gongzi, did you buy these? So you just brought these things back early. Su Ling spurred a reason for not being able to find Jiang Duanchen just now, to convince the ridiculous idea of complaining that he was not there to protect her.

Jiang Duanchen quipped: "That's not it, it took me a lot of effort to move these things back, but this is not for you, I will have to return it in the future." ”

"That's nature." The girl happily caressed the new clothes and bedding, and the soft touch made her feel warm.

"I have saved some silver taels here, it is all the savings that my father has secretly given me over the years, I know that it is not enough, I will hand it over to my son first, and I will find a way to do the rest." Su Ling took out a thick handkerchief from under the wooden bed and handed it to Jiang Duanchen.

The man shirked back: "Then it's not too late to wait until you have saved enough, if you don't save enough, you will have to come to my house to be a maid in the future." ”

Su Ling had no choice but to agree.

It was late at night, Su Ling packed up the bedding neatly, and prepared to let Jiang Duanchen sleep on the bed, while he planned to sleep on the ground.

Jiang Duanchen glanced at the moonlight outside the window, and turned back to Su Ling, who was still busy, and explained; "Girl, don't clean up yet, I still have something to go out, you go to sleep first, sleep in bed."

"Where are you going?" Su Ling stopped what he was doing and asked suspiciously.

"Go, clean up some crumbs."

With that, the man disappeared into the night.

Casinos

"Buy and leave, buy and leave." The man with the thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes shook the dice in his hand.

"Big, big!"

"Tiny Tiny!"

The sound of betting, accompanied by the smell of alcohol, filled every corner of the gambling house.

The man slowly lifted the dice Gu, and the heartstrings of the men around him tightened.

"One, three, four, six, small~"

"Damn, it's the wrong bet again." Su Zisheng pounded the table in annoyance. When he was about to bet, he was suddenly dragged out of the gambling group. "Who dares to drag the master, is he tired of being crooked?"

A "snap" slap slapped Su Zisheng to the ground, and Jiang Duanchen appeared in the gambling house with a gloomy face.

The people around wanted to help Su Zisheng, but when they looked at the people, they were all stunned.

Jiang Duanchen commanded the boss in the gambling house: "Where is the boss!" ”

"Childe...... Son...... How did you come here? The boss asked, trembling his legs. What is the wind that is blowing you here today? ”

Jiang Duanchen snorted coldly, and turned his eyes to Su Zisheng: "Do you know what is wrong?" ”

"Master, what's wrong with me?" Although Su Zisheng didn't know the person who came, this person's aura made him shiver unconsciously.

"Su Gongzi is really a memory, then I will let you remember it for a long time today. Xue Fei! ”

A man appeared in the dark night, kneeling outside the door, holding a sword and clenching his fist, "Here!" ”。

Jiang Duanchen smiled at the gambling house owner and reminded: "Please ask the boss to help me clear the people." ”

The boss immediately dismissed the crowd of onlookers in the gambling house, leaving Su Zisheng trembling.

Jiang Duanchen half-squatted down, picked up Su Zisheng's arm, looked at it carefully, and then broke it vigorously.

"Ahh My arm! Su Zisheng was in pain.

"Villain...... The villain really didn't know where to offend the child...... Ask the son to make it clear. In order to find out how he provoked this person, Su Zisheng knelt on the ground with his broken arm and kept begging for mercy.

"I will ask you only one word, and if you answer, I will let you go; If you don't, don't even think about going out of this room tonight. Jiang Duan Chenyin stared at Su Zisheng's eyes, and his tone was cold and cold, which made people feel furious.

"The villain must know everything, and he has no words, Childe, please ask."

"Did you just bully a girl?" Su Zisheng's heart was shocked! Is it for that waste sister? No. When did Su Ling recognize this backer, he must have recognized the wrong person and suffered a tragic lesson.

After Su Zisheng came up with this idea in his heart, he wanted to hide it in a weak heart, "Villain...... The villain hasn't done this! Son

No, the villain has been in the gambling house tonight, and he has never seen any girl! ”

"Xue Fei, call me until Su Gongzi remembers." With that, the man outside the door immediately received the order.

Passers-by on the street only heard the screams in the gambling house, begging for mercy, and looked at the closed door of the gambling house in horror.

Su Zisheng was lying on the ground trembling, blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the door, as if he wanted to escape, but there was no way.

Jiang Duanchen, who was sitting at the table in the room, outlined a touch of evil at the corner of his mouth: "Remember for me, Su Ling will have no one to bully from now on." ”

It turned out that it was really for Su Ling! Su Zi had a thousand resentments in his heart, and at this moment he had to beg for mercy desperately from the person in front of him, "The villain knows!" The villain will never bully his sister again in the future, beg for ...... Ask the son to spare his life. ”

Jiang Duanchen raised his hand to send Xue Fei back, walked past Su Zisheng without looking back, and left a sentence, "If you dare to commit it again, kill!" ”

Su Zisheng was paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, and the two words kept echoing in his mind, "kill ........"

Xue Fei has been a secret guard with Jiang Duanchen for many years, and he knows the temperament of his master best.

Out of the gambling house, Xue Fei followed behind Jiang Duanchen and asked tentatively, "Isn't the son still going back home?" ”。

The man in front of him suddenly stopped, "If you are like this, you don't have to follow me" His cold gaze stared at Xue Fei's eyes. Xue Fei hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, "The subordinates lost their words." Please forgive your sins! Jiang Duanchen put away his sharp expression, turned around and walked towards Shuolin Yuan. And Xue Fei's routine disappeared into the night.

Shuolin Garden

Su Ling hadn't taken off her new clothes yet, and she had just finished cleaning up this simple house.

For the first time, the little man sat on a wooden bed covered with thick bedding, as if he was sitting in cotton, which was soft and comfortable, and made people feel at ease.

With her hands on her knees and her head resting on her arms, she stared blankly at the strange, yet familiar room in front of her.

Since she returned home, she has been living in seclusion, not enjoying a comfortable day, not knowing what warmth is.

She suddenly felt so cold, her body seemed to be soaked in an ice hole, the cold was biting, looking at these dazzling objects, she suddenly feared that this was just a dream, illusory but real.

She was desperate to find a warm embrace, to lean into, to be sure that it was all true.

"Squeak!" The door was suddenly gently pushed open.

Su Ling was startled and raised his head suddenly.

There was a young man standing at the door, his handsome face reflected in Su Ling's eyes.

When the young man saw Su Ling, who was stunned, he frowned slightly, showing a look of pity, "Su Ling! What happened to you? He asked with concern as he approached slowly.

Su Ling couldn't control herself anymore, and her emotions exploded the moment she saw Jiang Duanchen. Jiang Duanchen wrapped her whole in his own breath.

"Su Ling!" He called her name, his voice thick with concern and pity.

He sighed lightly and hugged Su Ling into his arms.

He lowered his head and kissed away Su Ling's tears, and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, I'm here." ”

Su Ling felt the temperature transmitted by the young man's chest and the hot air sprayed on his neck between his breaths, and the real touch made Su Ling's heart settle.

The girl raised her head, gently stroked Jiang Duanchen's face, drew his facial features with her fingers, stroked the straight eyebrow bones, deep eyes, and beautiful nose bridge, and fell on her lips and whispered: "No one has ever treated me so well, Jiang Gongzi, thank you." ”

After that, the man in his arms fell into a deep sleep.
