MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 37
"This matter is absolutely true. Madam, please find someone to go to the mass grave outside the city. I don't know where that place is, but that's what my father told me. It's late, I'm afraid I won't even find the corpse " An Ruoxi said, tears fell down again. She poked her head out of the alley and looked again. At this time, she saw her girl coming this way, and hurriedly said: "Ms. Lu, I have to go. The money is for the aunt's reward. Hiring people, buying land, buying It is used for coffins and graves. Thank you, ma'am."
An Ruoxi wiped away tears while speaking, stroked her hair and clothes, and quickly ran out of the alley. Aunt Lu watched quietly, and saw An Ruoxi greet her maid, who handed her the things she bought, she smiled, and dragged the maid to go elsewhere. He didn't look back at the alley until he was far away.
Aunt Lu looked at the purse in her hand, put it in her bosom, and instead of going home, she turned to Fangshi to inquire about the funeral workers.
An Ruoxi didn't know whether Aunt Lu really asked someone to help collect the body, whether she found the old nanny's body, and whether she had been buried smoothly. She didn't take the risk to find another chance to talk to Aunt Lu, just as before, she didn't seem to have any relationship with Aunt Lu.
On the contrary, she heard a lot about An Ruochen. Mrs. Tan paid close attention to An Ruochen's movements, and always told her where that **** went and what she did today. He also said that what was said in the public, no matter the truth or falsehood, he should listen to her together. Teach her to know what to do when she meets her.
An Ruoxi didn't say much, and just wrote the invitation letter according to Tan's instructions. Mrs. Tan looked at it carefully, and asked someone to pass it to Ziyunlou.
Besides, Aunt Lu, she really found someone to go to the mass grave to find the corpse. It took a lot of effort. Because there is more than one mass grave, the trees are dense and the grass is deep, the terrain is messy, and the search for corpses is an unlucky job that attracts bad luck and evil spirits. Few people are willing to go there, but Aunt Lu finally managed it. She found the old Nan's body. The one who settled the abandoned body didn't even do a hasty burial, and three days later, the old nanny was beaten again before she was alive, and the body was so disfigured that it was almost unrecognizable.
Aunt Lu was angry and hurt in her heart, she buried the old nanny well with tears in her eyes. Then I went to inquire with the human tooth woman in the city. Lady Ren Ya sold a few girls with life contracts from An's house, and she also heard a little about what happened that day in An's house, and what she said to Aunt Lu in this way matched what An Ruoxi said.
Aunt Lu thought about it, went to Ziyun Tower, and reported the matter to An Ruochen.
Long Da finished his work today and returned to Ziyun Building. He was surprised to hear that An Ruochen stayed in the school grounds without eating dinner. He thought she encountered some setbacks when she went to Li Xiuer's mother's house today, but Lu Zheng said that in the morning There were no accidents during the trip. The security manager looked normal, and he was very energetic when he came back to write and draw in the house. In the afternoon, there was no abnormality when I received the greeting card from An's family, but later, Mrs. Lu, who delivered the food, asked to see her. After the two chatted for a long time, something was wrong with An's manager. After sitting in the room for a long time, he suddenly took the short sword and went to the school field to practice.
Long Da raised his eyebrows and went to the school grounds to find An Ruochen.
When they got there, they saw Tian Qingyuan guarding the side of the school field, while An Ruochen sat with his head down in front of the target, motionless.
Long Da waved his hand to Tian Qing, indicating that there is no need to salute, and then walked in front of An Ruochen. An Ruochen didn't respond safely, as if he didn't know someone was coming.
Long Da looked at her for a while, and sighed in his heart, it seemed that he had to get used to the girl always ignoring him.
"It's cold on the ground, I'm sick from sitting like this."
Startled, An Ruochen raised his head suddenly, only then did he realize that the general was here. An Ruochen hurriedly stood up and saluted Long Da.
His eyes were a little red, his voice was a little hoarse, and he looked as if he wanted to cry and held back.
Long Da looked at the target man who had been pierced by straw. There were several holes in the cloth on his chest. At this time, the dagger was thrown at An Ruochen's feet. There are also a few words carved crookedly on the ground - "pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese". An Ruochen looked around with Long Da's gaze, then quickly stretched out his foot to wipe off the words, then picked up the dagger, and inserted it into the scabbard.
"What do you mean?" Long Da asked those words.
An Ruochen lowered his head and whispered, "Swearing."
Long Da raised his brows high, this curse is quite new.
"Who are you scolding?"
An Ruochen didn't say anything.
Long Da didn't ask any further questions, he just said: "Can such scolding be relieved?"
An Ruochen shook his head.
"I think so too." Long Dao said.
"But I didn't feel relieved after changing to a crude one." An Ruochen wiped the writing marks on the ground with her toes, muttering to herself.
"Are you still vulgar?" Long Da laughed a little. "What is it?"
An Ruochen was silent again.
"Okay, what's going on?"
"I went to Li Xiu'er's natal village today according to the general's order, and met her mother. Her mother's eyesight is bad, and a little girl took care of her. She also called her mother, and called Li Xiu'er's sister, saying that she knew her relatives. That girl was originally an orphan. Daughter, Li Xiuer gave her money and lived in her house to take care of her mother. Li Xiuer promised to give her a dowry in the future, but there was only one request, the man had to marry and serve her mother together. That little girl was very loyal , the house is kept clean, and the vegetable field at the back of the yard is well-raised. Li Xiuer's mother was raised fat and fat, and she talked with a smile. She wanted to live a carefree life without much trouble. When Li Xiuer was mentioned, she was full of praise, so she didn't feel wary. I looked at the things in the house, some were brand new, as if they had just been bought. Matchmaker Xu has passed away for more than two months, it seems that Li Xiuer is not worried about money now." An Ruochen knew that Long Da didn't ask this, But she thinks it's better to talk about serious things.
"En." Long Da responded, and then changed the subject: "Why are you sad?"
An Ruochen lowered her eyes, stared at her toes, and pursed her lips.
Long Da did not rush her, but waited patiently.
After a while, An Ruochen saw that Long Da had no intention of giving up, so he could only say: "General, I am a disaster and have harmed many people."
"Really? Let's hear it."
An Ruochen looked up and saw Long Da's indifferent expression, neither curious nor impatient, as if he was standing here anyway, just listening to her. This made An Ruochen feel at ease. For some reason, she just felt at ease in her heart.
"My mother didn't give birth to a son, and she has always had regrets. She loves me very much, but she still has regrets, I know. She was bullied at home, but she didn't do anything, except for her own personality. One reason is that she is thinking about me. She is always worried about me, she is very worried, and in my impression, she is rarely happy."
Speaking of this, An Ruochen paused. Long Da didn't speak, just waited patiently.
So An Ruochen continued: "When I was young, I was self-willed. I deliberately did things that would annoy my father and provoke my aunt. I was young and they couldn't do anything to me, but they all punished my mother. I My mother suffered a lot for me. And my maid, the nanny, also suffered a lot because of me. My mother finally died of depression and died of illness. Later, I wanted to run away from home and asked Aunt Lu to help me I rented a house, and ended up killing old Uncle Chen. Aunt Lu is fine today, but Xi Zuo knows about her, and she is still in danger. My fourth sister disappeared, and I kept telling myself that I would definitely find her I can find her, but in fact, I know in my heart that she must have been killed long ago, otherwise, how could there be no news for so long." An Ruochen's voice choked up, tears rolled in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.
An Ruochen took a few deep breaths, and continued: "Matchmaker Xu died because of me, Xie Jin died because of me, and now my old nanny is also dead." Tears filled her eyes again, and she wiped them away vigorously.
"All the maids and servants in my yard have been disposed of. Those who have life contracts are sold by the prostitute, so they can go to a better place. I'm afraid they are too anxious to sell, even brothels and brothels..." An Ruochen clenched her fists, "I knew that if I left like this, everyone in the courtyard would be hurt, but I did it anyway, and I didn't care about them at all. I killed the old nanny, and I killed all of them. It's all ruined. I can't even get justice for them. I've been thinking and thinking, and I can't even think of a way to report to the police. All the people are gone, and the prostitution contracts are gone. I can't prove that the old The nanny is not a prostitute in Anfu, so I have no way of redressing her. Sitting there, I always feel that there must be a way, but I don't have it. My mind is empty. I have nothing but trouble and kill others. can not do this…"
An Ruochen couldn't bear it any longer, she yelled loudly, tears ran down her cheeks, she sucked in her breath and wiped them away vigorously.
Long Da stared at her and said, "I don't talk to people who can't speak clearly."
An Ruochen hurriedly sniffed, trying to control the tears, but the tears still fell disobediently.
"Try scolding?"
"His grandma's bear..." Sobbing and wiping away his tears, his voice was choked up, this catchphrase of Zong Zeqing was pitifully spoken by An Ruochen, and it didn't have the slightest vulgarity of scolding.
Long Da sighed: "It's better to cry."
An Ruochen shook his head.
Long Dao: "Don't bear it."
An Ruochen bit her lip hard.
"Cry!" Long shouted at her.
After drinking this, An Ruochen couldn't bear it any longer, her grievances and sorrows welled up, she lowered her head and began to cry, crying louder and louder, crying until she was out of breath, crying until her whole body became weak, crying so much that she needed a shoulder to lean on . She pounced forward, and before Long Da hesitated to extend her hand, An Ruochen had already passed him, hugged the straw target, buried her face in the target's shoulder, and finally had no more scruples, wow wow Cry out.
Long Da was taken aback, and withdrew his hand behind his back. Silently watching An Ruochen's thin shoulders trembling from crying. After watching for a while, I finally couldn't help reaching out to touch her head. When it was about to fall on her hair, it hesitated for a moment, then landed on her shoulder, and patted it lightly. Before it could speak, it heard "crash clang clang" and the scarecrow fell down.
An Ruochen was crying so deeply that she was completely defenseless, with her whole body weight on the target. Caught off guard, he followed the target person straight and fell down.
thump.
The crying stopped at once. The sound of falling to the ground sounded painful.
An Ruochen pressed on the target, her limbs lay motionless on the ground. The whole person fell dumbfounded.
Long Da was also dumbfounded, his hand was still raised in the air, he didn't use any strength, he swore.
Later, Jiang Song flew into Zong Zeqing and Xie Gang's courtyard.
Zong Zeqing was polishing his armor in the courtyard, when he saw him coming, he asked, "Is there any more sweet soup?"
"No." Jiang Song replied quickly: "The general slapped Guanshi on the ground with his palm."
Zong Zeqing said lazily, "Oh, so there is no sweet soup...Wait, who beat Guan Shi?"
"General."
"What did Lu Zheng and Tian Qing say?" Zong Zeqing turned around and ran towards Xie Gang's house, while running, he said, "Is it appropriate for you to choose someone who has such a bad mouth?" He ran to the door and slammed on the door.
Xie Gang opened the door with a serious face.
"Officer An made a mistake and was knocked to the ground by the general. You said we should pretend not to know about this or ask about it?" Zong Zeqing finished in one breath.
Xie Gang looked at Zong Zeqing, then at Jiang Song.
Jiang Song said the matter again. After hearing this, Zong Zeqing went over with a punch, "Then why did you lie to me, the general, and beat him up?"
"When did I lie to you?" Jiang Song easily blocked the punch, "You don't want people to make up nonsense and slander the general."
Zong Zeqing was even angrier when he heard that, he was obviously deceived. The two fought together, Xie Gang asked: "And then?"
"Then let me beat him to death." Zong Zeqing replied.
"Then the general left and drove Lu Zheng Tianqing away, leaving Guanshi An to lie there alone."
Zong Zeqing was taken aback for a moment, and stopped. "real or fake?"
"Really." Jiang Song rolled his eyes at him.
Zong Zeqing had a look of disbelief: "The general is so cruel?" Seeing that Jiang Song's expression did not seem to be a joke, he frowned: "How can this be so? Manager An is a delicate girl, so she should help her up to comfort her. Ahhh , I'll go take a look, it's so pitiful. I'll help her and comfort her."
Xie Gangliang swished and said: "If you are really crying with snot and tears, and your face is covered with mud, no one in the girl's family wants to let others see this appearance. Are you going to comfort others, or to give People feel troubled."
"..." Zong Zeqing stopped in his tracks. "Makes sense."
"Besides, it's been a long time, I might have gone back to the house early." Jiang Song also poured cold water on him.
Zong Zeqing scratched his head, a little uneasy, "Then why don't you go to her room to comfort her later. But how do we explain that we know the embarrassment of her falling to the ground?"
Xie Gang said seriously: "I didn't know that Guanshi An fell to the ground."
Jiang Song also shook his head: "I don't know either."
Zong Zeqing despised them with his eyes.
Jiang Song patted him on the shoulder and said: "I said brother, if you really have any ideas, go to the general and talk to the general first, as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."
Zong Zeqing was quite at a loss: "What are you talking about? What's your idea?" Then he suddenly said: "Ah, that's right, Si Xiajiang's forward attack, I did come up with a good idea, and I have to discuss it with the general."
Xie Gang and Jiang Song looked at each other.
"Okay, I guess you can rest assured."
"Well, this kid probably has nothing else on his mind except fighting."
Zong Zeqing was not convinced, he had nothing on his mind except fighting, obviously he was a general, okay? "I'm going to discuss with the general."
"The general is at Guanshi's place."
"Then I'll look for him when he comes back." Zong Zeqing sat down in the yard and continued to happily polish his armor. His plan is very clever, the general will definitely agree.
Long Da is indeed in An Ruochen's room. An Ruochen felt much more comfortable after crying that scene, and immediately lost the feeling of sadness after the embarrassing fall.
So embarrassing, so embarrassing.
Fortunately, the general turned around and left without saying anything. Fortunately, it was already dark and no one saw her. She sneaked back to the house by herself to scrub and change her clothes. She felt much more energetic.
At this time, the general came to the door and reprimanded her.
"I really feel that I am a scourge and a burden, so leave as soon as possible. I can't use you here."
"I was wrong, and I dare not do it again."
"Where is it wrong?"
"Let the general see a joke."
"It's okay for me to see a joke, but if you let the evildoers read the joke, and let those who bullied you read the joke, that would be a mistake." Long Da said in a stern tone, "If you can't tell right from wrong, it's a little pain. I can't bear the grief, what use do you need?"
An Ruochen lowered her head, feeling very sad at being scolded. Long Da asked her what happened, and she explained it in detail.
After hearing this, Long Da asked her, "What did I tell you?"
An Ruochen replied softly: "The general said that the general is quite strict, I need to work hard."
The corner of Long Da's mouth twitched, and he held back his laughter. Such an untrained person, after a few words of scolding, he will only remember that he is strict. "I said don't just focus on one thing, but look at the overall situation. Your old nanny died unjustly. You can't prove that she is not a lifelong servant of the An family, and you can't redress for her, but this is the only thing you can do? Your father So innocent in this life, only did such a bad thing?"
An Ruochen suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkled, she understood the general's lesson.
"And your fourth sister, didn't you say that you would never give up if you didn't see people and died? You said you understand in your heart, so you should understand more clearly. Who harmed her?! You blame yourself and blame yourself Can you avenge the revenge of your fourth sister? Those who hurt you live better than you, are you willing?"
She is not willing!
