Chapter 73: Courageous Accompaniment
The Seventh Master ate the fish sent by Ji Yuanhai a few times, and when he chatted with him, he felt that he was more up-to-the-road, and his speech was full of such things, and he was already quite familiar with him.
Therefore, after hearing Ji Yuanhai's words, the Seventh Master responded directly with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask your aunt to make something delicious for you!" β
"Okay, okay, I'll go in a moment!"
Ji Yuanhai replied with a smile.
went home and told Lu Heling that he was going to sit at the Seventh Master's house tonight.
"Or is it the Wang family's business?"
"Yes, no matter what, you have to breathe a little bit with the Seventh Master, lest he don't know anything and won't be able to react when the time comes."
Ji Yuanhai said: "Also, Heling, the Wang family seems to have done something illegal, quite bold." β
"In the future, when I'm not at home, you should pay attention, it's best to go into the house and close the door."
Lu Heling nodded, suddenly remembered yesterday's thoughts, and had a good talk with Liu Xianglan, isn't this an opportunity?
"Yuan Hai, when you say that, I'm really a little scared...... I'll call Widow Liu over in a while and give me a strong courage, okay? Lu Heling said.
Ji Yuanhai looked at Lu Heling in surprise.
She should be more repulsive to Liu Xianglan, right? Why did you take the initiative to invite Liu Xianglan over today?
That's right, two women and a child are really not too afraid.
Talking to the Seventh Master tonight, he is indeed going to drink some wine, further pull the relationship, and see the affairs of the Wang family as an opportunity to talk about it tentatively.
This time I came back very late, let Liu Xianglan come over to accompany Lu Heling, and I can indeed rest assured.
"Okay, I'll call them both over in a moment."
Ji Yuanhai said.
Lu Heling smiled slightly, and quietly clenched her palms: "I'll also make theirs for dinner." β
Ji Yuanhai went to Liu Xianglan's house and said a word, and asked Liu Xianglan to take Wang Xiaohong to his house and accompany Lu Heling to strengthen his courage.
When Ji Yuanhai was at home, he didn't seem to have a problem; Ji Yuanhai was not at home this night, so he seemed relatively lonely; Especially after learning that the Wang family is not a law-abiding and honest person, it is even more unsafe.
Liu Xianglan's fear of insecurity comes from another aspect.
Taking advantage of Wang Xiaohong's lack of attention, she asked Ji Yuanhai in a low voice: "Did your daughter-in-law find something and want to tear my face?" β
"Heling is not that kind of person." Ji Yuanhai said.
Liu Xianglan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, oh...... That's good, that's good......"
She was afraid that when she arrived at Ji Yuanhai's house, she would be beaten and scolded by other people's daughters-in-law, and she would not have the face to fight back.
Especially Wang Xiaohong is still following, if she is beaten and scolded like this in front of her daughter, it will be too embarrassing.
After Ji Yuanhai left, Liu Xianglan took Wang Xiaohong and arrived at Ji Yuanhai's house with a little trepidation.
Lu Heling was cooking, and when she saw Liu Xianglan coming with Wang Xiaohong, she nodded: "Come into the house and sit, the meal will be fine in a while." β
Liu Xianglan saw that she didn't smile on her face, so she chuckled in her heart.
It's one thing to help strengthen your courage, Yuan Hai and his daughter-in-law, it's not like he doesn't know anything!
"Red, don't run around!" Liu Xianglan told the child, squatted in front of the stove, and showed a smile to Lu Heling, "I'll light the fire, right?" β
Lu Heling nodded and didn't speak.
Soon, white gas came out from the edge of the pot lid, and Liu Xianglan stopped the fire and let the embers burn at the bottom of the pot.
The smoke wafted in the darkening sky, and the woods, puddles, and mountains beyond the fence seemed to smell of cooking smoke.
Liu Xianglan sat in front of the stove door with her legs crossed, and raised her eyes to look at Lu Heling.
Lu Heling also happened to come over.
As soon as the eyes of the two made contact, they quickly turned away.
"Dinner, let's eat." Lu Heling said.
Liu Xianglan was silent, serving the bowl and busily taking the nest, and when it was all served, Lu Heling took three plates of side dishes.
Deep-fried monkey, salted duck eggs, sesame oil and green onion pickles.
Ji Yuanhai went to the county seat several times, and the oil, sesame oil and other seasonings he bought back were relatively sufficient, and he also bought some when he met a seller of salted duck eggs.
Thick porridge, clean nest head, vegetables full of oil and water, Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong, both mother and daughter, who watched it, swallowed saliva involuntarily.
Seeing them like this, Lu Heling also sighed in her heart.
The life of this mother and daughter is indeed too hard.
couldn't complain, Yuan Hai helped her a few times, and she moved her mind.
"Eat." Lu Heling said.
Liu Xianglan nodded, stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Xiaohong, signaling her to be obedient.
Both of them held porridge in their hands and began to eat their nests.
Lu Heling didn't want to give them a good face, but when she saw that they weren't even willing to eat the food, she handed half of the duck egg dripping with oil to Wang Xiaohong: "Eat it." β
Wang Xiaohong looked at Liu Xianglan and didn't dare to ask: "I'...... I don't want ......"
Liu Xianglan also hurriedly said: "It's good to be able to eat a full meal, but don't give it again, this kid won't eat this." β
Lu Heling said: "Eat, you're welcome." β
also handed Liu Xianglan half a salted duck egg.
When Liu Xianglan saw her expression, she seemed to be angry if she didn't take it, and she didn't dare to refuse.
Cautiously took it: "The two of us can just eat this half." β
Lu Heling showed a smile: "You're welcome, let's eat." β
Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong, under her urging, ate half a salted duck egg by themselves, and they were both full.
Not long after eating, Wang Xiaohong nodded sleepily.
Lu Heling asked her to go to bed, and Liu Xianglan hurriedly shook her head: "This kid's clothes are dirty......"
Lu Heling said: "Let the child go to bed, let's talk." β
Liu Xianglan was silent for a moment, stopped insisting, and let the sleepy Wang Xiaohong go to sleep.
Under the bright yellow light, mosquitoes are flying.
Lu Heling took a book, looked down for a while, and waited for Liu Xianglan to settle Wang Xiaohong over, she realized that she hadn't finished reading a word, let alone remembering it.
Closing the book in distraught, Lu Heling looked at Liu Xianglan.
Liu Xianglan immediately lowered her head, like a prisoner waiting to be tried.
"What do you think of Yuan Hai?"
Lu Heling asked.
Liu Xianglan said in a sullen voice: "He is the benefactor of our mother and mother, and he saved our lives." β
"He is the only one in the entire Xiaoshantun, who is willing to treat our mother and mother as human beings."
"What else?" Lu Heling asked.
Liu Xianglan lowered her head and stopped talking.
She couldn't say anything, and Lu Heling couldn't ask either.
The two of them were silent under the light, one felt that he was at a loss, and the other was not the kind of shrew, who couldn't use the means of scolding and jumping around the street and being aggressive.
After a long, long time, Liu Xianglan finally spoke: "You don't have to worry. β
"I know I'm unlucky."
"Yuan Hai has never slept with me, and I won't let him sleep with me; If he comes near to me, I am afraid that his good fortune will be ruined. β
When Lu Heling heard this, she was immediately relieved.
It was best that she could think like that!
With this breath of relief, Lu Heling's attitude eased a lot, and even spoke a lot easier: "Sister Liu, you really have nothing to do with Yuan Hai?" Simply grateful to him? β
Liu Xianglan is really difficult to answer this question.
To say that it doesn't matter, it's not exactly; But if you want to say that it has a relationship, you can't be more specific with what Lu Heling said......
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of running outside.
A piece smashed into the fence yard with a dull thud.
Immediately after that, someone kicked the fence wall with their feet, and there was a loud noise.
Lu Heling and Liu Xianglan suddenly trembled, remembering Ji Yuanhai's previous explanation.
Could it be that the people of the Wang family are really coming?
Is their family really bold enough to dare to do such and such a thing?
When Lu Heling thought of this possibility, her hands and feet were a little cold, and she didn't know what to do for a while!
However, Liu Xianglan reacted quickly.
"You guard the door, and you are in the house with my daughter."
"I'll see what's going on!"
Lu Heling was surprised: "This is too dangerous, right?" Yuan Hai is not at home, what if you go out and they break in? β
"Then you can't help but see what's going on, it's frightening, and they're getting bolder." Liu Xianglan said, "When I go out, you lock the door from the inside, and it will be difficult for them to come in at that time." β
Lu Heling was even more surprised: "Then what should you do?" β
"I can shout, I can scream, I can run...... Eighty percent of the people outside are deliberately scaring people, and they don't dare to shout anymore as soon as I show up; Even if there are really bad guys, I can make a noise and let the people in the village know. Liu Xianglan said quickly and walked to the door.
"I mean, Sister Liu, what if you're in danger!" Lu Heling was a little anxious.
Liu Xianglan forced her composure and laughed: "What danger can I have?" β
"No matter what, you are Yuan Hai's daughter-in-law...... I just don't have anything to do, and I can't let his daughter-in-law have a hair. β
"Otherwise, my life would have been in vain."
"You and Yuan Hai are both kind-hearted people, you are clean, safe and secure, and live a long life."
Compared with you, my cheap life is nothing......
Liu Xianglan thought in her heart, walked out of the door, closed the door with force, and reminded Lu Heling to lock it.
She stood in the courtyard and shouted outside, unusually spicy: "Enter your mother!" β
"If you don't sleep when it's dark, run your father and your mother here to spread wild!"
"If you can't sleep, go home to your mother!"
The footsteps outside the fence quickly ran away, and there was no movement.
Liu Xianglan listened carefully and there was no movement, and she didn't dare to be careless, so she stood in the courtyard and scolded again, making sure that there was indeed no one, so she turned around and pushed the door.
Lu Heling was nervously leaning against the door of the house, dodging a crack for her.
"Gone?"
Liu Xianglan was a little anxious: "Why don't you lock the door from the inside?" β
"If anything, I'll have to let you in." Lu Heling replied honestly, "How can I let you be alone outside?" β
Liu Xianglan suddenly cried or laughed, and said: "It's fortunate that it's okay!" β
"If something really happens, you have an accident like this, and I can't close my eyes when I die!"
"If there is a next time, I will let you hide, you will hide, you know? You're a schoolgirl from the city, and you don't know how bad some people are! β
Lu Heling responded: "Then you come in quickly, right?" β
"Give me a flashlight and I'll take care of it." Liu Xianglan said, "Lock the door from the inside and don't open it again!" β
Lu Heling gave her the iron flashlight, and under her repeated urging, the door was locked.
However, she also told Liu Xianglan that if there is really a bad person, run back quickly. I must open the door for her and not let her stay alone to fight the bad guys.
For a while, the two of them became one heart.
Fortunately, Liu Xianglan's flashlight shone around, and there was no one.
A stone was thrown in the courtyard.
The fence was kicked a few times, but it was still very strong, not even deformed.
Liu Xianglan looked at it, and after confirming that there was no one, she used two wooden sticks against the wooden door of the fence, went back to the house, and immediately locked the door, and her body was already covered with cold sweat.
"scares meβ"
At this time, a gust of wind rushed over, and Lu Heling couldn't help but reach out and hug her plump body: "Thank you, Sister Liu!" β
Liu Xianglan opened her hands, at a loss.
"I'm supposed to do it...... You're welcome...... Don't hug me, what are you hugging me...... No wonder it's uncomfortable! β
