Chapter III

Jiang Mingchuan bought two tickets, went to the provincial capital at half past four in the afternoon, then transferred to the train at half past five, and arrived at the station at six o'clock the next morning.

After Jin Xiuzhu sat down, she didn't want to pay much attention to the man next to her, thinking that Hou Ye had praised her for her graceful and swaying style, and it became uncomfortable to look in his mouth.

However, Jiang Mingchuan didn't notice her resentment at all, and after sitting down, he handed the child to Jin Xiuzhu, took out the hot water kettle from his luggage to fetch water, and when he came back, he was followed by a lame old man, he asked the old man to sit in his place, and he stood in the aisle.

Kim so-joo was leaning against the window, and when she saw this scene, she glanced directly out of the window.

But I couldn't get angry in my heart.

She suddenly remembered one thing, one autumn and winter with Hou Ye went to Xiangyun Mountain to enjoy the snow, and met a pair of begging grandfathers and grandsons on the way, because they came forward to ask for a bite of food to disturb Hou Ye's interest, they were ordered by Hou Ye to be beaten to death.

At that time, she had just been favored, and she didn't dare to anger Hou Ye for half a point, so she didn't dare to say a word of pleading, only whispered to coax Hou Ye to be happy, but the heart-rending cry from outside the car lingered in her ears for a long time.

She thought it was Hou Ye who was brutal by nature, but later learned that those upper-class aristocratic men and women didn't care about the lives of commoners at all, they were all ants and playthings, including her.

Although Jin Xiuzhu felt that Jiang Mingchuan's kindness was a little ridiculous, it inexplicably made her feel at ease, at least in this world full of strangers, so that she didn't have to be afraid of being discarded by him.

Jiang Mingchuan knew that she was taking the train for the first time, and said to the back of Jin Xiuzhu's head: "If you want to go to the toilet, tell me, and I'll take you there." ”

There are a lot of people standing at the door of the toilet, both men and women, and it is better to have someone outside to keep watch.

Jin Xiuzhu didn't look back, only hummed softly.

But she didn't go to the toilet until she got off the bus, although she was in a hurry, but she couldn't do it in the case of so many people.

After arriving at the provincial capital train station, Jin Xiuzhu took the child to the toilet, she was worried that the child would wet her clothes halfway, but she didn't expect the child to be much more well-behaved than she thought, not crying or fussing, and did not need special care.

Jiang Mingchuan went out to buy food, after eating, he asked Jin Xiuzhu to go to the toilet to scrub it, the toilet at the provincial capital railway station is relatively large, and it is also relatively clean, there are people cleaning it all day long, next to it is the boiling water room, which has been continuously supplied, which is more convenient than on the train.

Jin Xiuzhu took the child, took a towel and a basin to wash up briefly, towels, toothbrushes, tooth powder, and basins were all newly bought by Jiang Mingchuan, and there was a mirror in the toilet, Jin Xiuzhu was startled when she saw it, she didn't expect that she was so ugly now.

His dry hair was messy and scattered over his shoulders, his cheeks were sunken, his skin was yellow, he looked very haggard, his eyes were almost bright, he was very thin, and his loose cotton clothes seemed to hang on his body. But if you look closely, her facial features are six or seven points similar to her original appearance, but she is too thin, and she looks like the kind of hard-working person who has not lived a good life.

Originally, I was still a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, I thought that the Bodhisattva took pity on her and gave her a chance to live well, although this place was poor, but there were no three wives and four concubines, and there was no grass and mustard life, it may not be worse than the previous life.

Thinking that her heart was a little more transparent, her eyes were firm, and she was even full of high fighting spirit, as if she had returned to the moment when she fought wits and courage with a group of warblers and Yanyan in the backyard.

However, when she came out and saw Jiang Mingchuan talking to a young girl, the brilliance in her eyes instantly turned into dissatisfaction, but she had always been able to hold back, and did not get angry immediately, but only after the girl left did she walk over and ask, "Who is that person?" ”

Jiang Mingchuan didn't hear it, and explained simply, "It's the people who went to the countryside who know and asked me for directions." ”

Then he asked, "Washed?" ”

Jin Xiuzhu didn't reply, but twisted her eyebrows, "There are so many people, why do you only ask you and not others?" ”

Jiang Mingchuan realized that something was wrong at this time, and looked at her with a frown.

Jin Xiuzhu lacked confidence, but she still raised her chin and pretended to be justified: "You are my man now, and no one can rob the person I fancie." ”

She has always been domineering, even if she and Jiang Mingchuan have only known each other for a day, but since he promised to be responsible for her in the future, he can only be good to her, except for men, of course.

Jiang Mingchuan originally thought that she was quite unreasonable, but when he heard this, his ears couldn't help but turn red.

He subconsciously looked around, and was slightly relieved to see that no one cared about this, and then said angrily: "What is not robbed, no one will rob you." ”

After speaking, he took the basin in her hand and strode away, finding a place to sit down.

Kim so-joo snorted and took her daughter's hand and followed.

No one noticed that Fu Yanyan looked at this scene, and a trace of confusion flashed in her dark and silent eyes.

I got on the train at half past seven in the evening,

At this time, it was completely dark, and the people on the train were either sleeping or having dinner, Jiang Mingchuan booked a sleeper this time, one was a middle bed, and the other was opposite the lower bunk, and Jin Xiuzhu slept in the lower bunk with her child.

After a day in the car, the mother and daughter were already tired, Jin Xiuzhu didn't care if the bed was clean or not, just lay down and slept, Jiang Mingchuan looked around first, and felt that there was no problem before climbing into the opposite bed.

There were a few stops in the middle of the train, and the carriages, which had been relatively empty, gradually filled with people.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Mingchuan, who was in the dark, suddenly noticed something, suddenly opened his eyes and looked down, and then saw a sneaky figure standing at the end of Jin Xiuzhu's bed, bending over to rummage for something.

He instantly turned cold and scolded loudly, "What are you doing?" ”

The black shadow was startled, and when Jiang Mingchuan got up, he turned around and ran, and in the dim aisle, the person quickly disappeared.

Jiang Mingchuan landed and chased two steps before stopping, staring at the end of the carriage, and then walked to Jin Xiuzhu's bed to check the situation.

The sleeping people in the carriage were awakened by this movement, and a young boy poked his head out and frowned and asked, "What are you arguing about?" I don't sleep in the middle of the night. ”

He was supposed to be his friend on the upper bunk, and he had a better temper and politely asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

The main reason is that he sees Jiang Mingchuan as having a special temperament, not like a reckless person.

Jiang Mingchuan explained simply, "There was a thief just now, everyone is careful about their own things." ”

These words made the people in the carriage nervous, and they all quickly sat up and checked their luggage. Jin Xiuzhu also woke up, and hurriedly touched her pants pocket, and was relieved when she felt that the money was there.

Jiang Mingchuan said to her: "You sleep on the top, I'll sleep on the bottom." ”

Kim so-joo guessed that the thief was going to steal something from the people below and was discovered by him, so he didn't refuse and quickly got up from the bed.

Jiang Mingchuan carried the child who was still sleeping into the middle bed, Jin Xiuzhu was not very good at climbing this ladder, and she didn't know how to get up if she was stuck in the middle of the road, Jiang Mingchuan didn't think much about it, reached out and grabbed her waist like a child, and carried the person directly to the bed.

He was tall, with strong muscles in his arms, and Kim so-joo's weight was easy for him, and seeing that she was still wearing shoes, he took them off and put them under the bed.

Jin Xiuzhu knelt on the bed, looked back in a daze, and the whole person didn't come back to his senses for a long time, especially when he saw him take off his shoes, he was even more shocked and couldn't speak.

Even if the people in the Hou Mansion say that Hou Ye spoils her to the sky, every time she gets along in private, she is the one who bows down and is small, even if she is angry and wants Hou Ye to coax, she is also in a sense of proportion.

In the concept she has accepted since she was a child, men are heaven, and after entering the Hou Mansion, she is even more deeply aware of this.

So she never imagined that one day, a man would treat her like this.

I was a little dazed and a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Mingchuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him doing this, so he only ordered, "Sleep for a while, and I'll call you tomorrow morning." ”

Jin Xiuzhu didn't speak, only nodded and quickly lay down, covering the emotions on her face with the quilt.

——

The next morning, without waiting for Jiang Mingchuan to shout, Jin Xiuzhu woke up.

They didn't have much to do, and when the train stopped at the station, they quickly squeezed down from the crowd, which was completely different from the endless plains of "Kim so-joo's" hometown, and at a glance it was covered with snow-covered mountains.

Jiang Mingchuan took Jin Xiuzhu to breakfast first, he should be very familiar with this side, took her to the nearby bus stop, and then took the bus to the city to eat noodles.

After eating, Jiang Mingchuan led her to the vegetable station, but unfortunately the car that delivered the food had already left, but fortunately, there was a car to go to the countryside to collect vegetables, and they could be sent to the dock by the way.

Jiang Mingchuan and Jin Xiuzhu waited for a while, and it didn't take long for two staff members to come over on tricycles, Jin Xiuzhu sat behind a tricycle with the child in her arms, and Jiang Mingchuan rode on another tricycle to let the staff rest.

The staff on the road also chatted with them enthusiastically, Jiang Mingchuan didn't talk much, he replied with one or two words every time, seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Jin Xiuzhu couldn't help but explain with a smile: "It's also because I don't have the ability, I only gave birth to one after several years of marriage, and I came to join the army this year." ”

Then he pretended to be curious and said: "There are so many mountains here, they are different from our hometown, and there are a lot of mountain treasures to come." ”

As soon as they heard that Jin Xiuzhu was coming for the first time, the two opened the conversation box and began to introduce the characteristics here, Jin Xiuzhu will not only cheer, but also provide advice in the middle, for example, a staff member mentioned that the elderly at home have a bad appetite recently, and took her to the hospital to see but was unwilling to go, Jin Xiuzhu asked a few words and said that you can use cangshu peeling, dried jujube pitting, dried ginger, fried almonds, boiled licorice and salt together into powder, and take it with hot water.

The man didn't think much about it, but after hearing this, he silently recited it in his heart several times, saying that he had written it down.

Jiang Mingchuan, who was riding in front, also heard it and glanced back at Jin Xiuzhu.

When they arrived at the dock, the two staff members waved their hands to Jin Xiuzhu unsatisfactorily, feeling that it was so comfortable to talk to this little daughter-in-law, and every sentence was praised to their hearts.

Jin Xiuzhu was quite happy, but when she turned around and looked at Shangjiang Mingchuan, she felt empty, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she simply lowered her head and pretended to be dead.

As soon as he lowered his head, he looked at the calm eyes of the little man next to him, and his heart was tight.

I don't understand how this big and small look so scary.
