You Didn’t Say that Before (Second Update)
Just after the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed for three consecutive days, and some houses in the village were crushed. Read 520 official website
I heard from Bai Xiaohu that his father and uncle went to help people repair houses, and Ning Jing also brought his own tools.
Su Liang wanted to go and see, but a patient came.
Recently, many elderly people and children have been infected with colds. Su Liang specially prescribed a medicine, which is very cheap but effective. People from nearby villages also rushed to buy it after hearing the news.
As soon as the patient was sent away, Yan Shiba said she wanted to move around.
After Su Liang came back, Yan Shiba's complexion was visibly getting better day by day. From diet to medicine, as well as daily appropriate massage and exercise, they were all carefully arranged for her.
Yan Shiba herself has the deepest understanding of this.
Su Liang did not say anything to take credit for Yan Shiba's gratitude. But some things, if you do them, you don't need to say them at all.
The snow stopped this morning. Although the sun came out, it was still chilly.
Su Liang let Yan Shiba lean on a cane, and she supported him on the other side, slowly walking from the bed to the window.
Pushing open half of the window, the cool breeze mixed with broken snow blew in.
It was too bright outside, Yan Shiba subconsciously squinted his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "I have been living too comfortably recently. Sometimes I feel that the past when I was a killer is just a dream."
Su Liang said in a faint tone, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot."
Yan Shiba raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly became energetic, "Xiao Liang'er, didn't you ask before who saved me and sent me here?"
Su Liang asked back, "Why?"
"I miss that beautiful little man." Yan Shiba sighed, "I want to see him right away!"
Su Liang:...
Yan Shiba didn't say that it was a monk who saved her.
It was the little monk Chengyun who Su Liang and Ning Jing met by coincidence later, and Chengyun took the initiative to ask Yan Shiba. But Yan Shiba didn't know about this.
Of course, Chengyun is just kind-hearted and has no improper thoughts about Yan Shiba.
But Yan Shiba, a killer, has evil thoughts about the pure little monk.
Su Liang thinks it is inappropriate, very inappropriate.
"Xiao Liang'er, I'm talking to you! Why don't you ask him what his name is?" Yan Shiba said tenderly.
"You can say it if you want." Su Liang was very calm.
"Then I have to say it. His name is Chengyun, isn't it nice?" Yan Shiba looked like a young girl in love.
"What's your last name?" Su Liang asked.
Yan Shiba snorted, "Who said people must have last names?"
Su Liang noticed that Yan Shiba took the initiative to mention Chengyun, but he didn't seem to want to tell Su Liang that he was a monk.
"Are you going to find him after you recover from your injury?" Su Liang asked.
Yan Shiba nodded, "Of course. He saved me, and now I have nothing, so I can only pledge my love to him."
Su Liang frowned, "Do I agree?"
Yan Shiba glared at Su Liang, "Do you think I am not beautiful enough or not cute enough?"
Su Liang coughed lightly, "Miss Erjiu, I have to remind you that love has nothing to do with beauty or cuteness. What if he doesn't like women?"
"Then you don't have to treat me as a woman, I am..." Yan Shiba leaned his head against Su Liang, acting coquettishly, "a charming fairy."
Su Liang: ... This woman is so scary, Cheng Yun is in danger!
But she didn't intend to interfere with Yan Shiba and Cheng Yun's affairs. It had nothing to do with Su Liang whether they saved each other's lives or returned the favor.
Just as she was about to let Yan Shiba go back to lie down, she suddenly heard a noise in the yard. Su Liang thought that Ning Jing would not come back so soon, and heard from Bai Xiaohu that several houses had to be repaired.
She looked out the window and saw a tall white shadow standing in the yard, almost blending into the white earth. At first glance, it looked like a snowman.
Just as Su Liang was alert, she heard Yan Shiba's gnashing voice, "Yan Shiqi!"
The man was wearing a mask, and Yan Shiba recognized him at a glance. He should be very familiar with him.
"Yan Shiqi?" Yan Shiqi looked through the window and saw the person Su Liang was supporting, and his eyes suddenly shrank!
Su Liang was thinking about waiting for Ning Jing to come back.
Although Yan Shiqi had an appointment with Ning Jing, seeing that Ning Jing was not at home, he might not kill someone to take the ring.
Then he heard Yan Shiqi say coldly, "Sister Liang, go back to your room."
Su Liang lowered his voice, "Are you sure? You can't beat him."
"Sure." Yan Shiqi nodded, his eyes never left Yan Shiqi.
Yan Shiqi didn't move either.
Su Liang helped Yan Shiba to sit on the bed, then went out and said to Yan Shiqi, "Please come in."
Yan Shiqi glanced at Su Liang, "You are, Ning Jing's woman?"
Su Liang did not answer and returned to her room.
Yan Shiqi waited for a while before entering Yan Shiba's room, and soon the doors and windows were closed.
After reading three pages of the book, Su Liang heard Yan Shiba calling her.
When she arrived at Yan Shiba's room, Yan Shiqi was no longer there, and there were only a few shallow footprints in the yard, proving that someone had been there.
"Are you and him not enemies?" Su Liang asked.
"Yes." Yan Shiba snorted coldly.
"Then why are you still alive?" Su Liang was puzzled.
"He is Yan Sui's confidant." Yan Shiba said, and suddenly sneered, "Originally, we were equally strong, but unfortunately, he has a fatal weakness."
Su Liang expressed his willingness to hear more details.
Yan Shiba said with a smug look, "He likes me."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "If I remember correctly, you said before that he is a treacherous villain?"
Yan Shiba nodded, "He is. But he won't do anything to me."
"You, to him..." Su Liang heard that Yan Shiba was obviously not interested in Yan Shiqi. She liked Monk Chengyun.
"I like good-looking and young ones, he is old and ugly." Yan Shiba was very disgusted.
"But you gave him the black jade ring." Su Liang asked. The ring was originally hanging on the head of Yan Shiba's bed, but now it is gone.
Yan Shiba nodded, "It's not convenient for me for the time being, let him go to reorganize Yanyun Tower and wait for me to return!"
"Then is the owner of the building you or him?" Su Liang asked.
"Of course it's him. I just need to control him. Why should I care about the mess of Yanyun Tower? It's a bother." Yan Shiba smiled, "Sister, aren't you smart?"
Su Liang sighed, "If there is no possibility for you and Yan Shiqi, don't lie to him anymore, be careful of retribution."
Yan Shiba didn't care, "Xiao Liang'er, I will be good to you, but I will listen to you, but it depends on what the matter is. This has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to preach to me. He is happy and eager to do so!"
Su Liang shook his head, "Forget it. What sister, don't take it seriously. Leave after you recover from your injury."
Destined to be different people. It was Yan Shiba who took the initiative, but she obviously didn't really change anything because of Su Liang.
Yan Shiba saw Su Liang walk to the door and wanted to call her, but she took the words back when they were on the tip of her tongue.
She was very greedy for the warmth given by Su Liang, which was true.
But Yan Shiba, who said that the killer's past was like a dream not long ago, did not want to give up the Yanyun Tower that she thought should belong to her.
"Anyway, I won't leave until my injury is healed." Yan Shiba thought.
…
Ning Jing went out in the afternoon, and it was dark when he came back. He was holding a hard coarse flour cake in his hand, which was forced to him by the lady of the house whose house was repaired last.
The lady's eyesight was not very good, and she mistook Ning Jing for another young man in the village.
Ning Jing ate the cake for dinner.
After Yan Shiba fell asleep, Su Liang told Ning Jing about Yan Shiqi's visit and departure.
Ning Jing didn't care, and only said, "Let Yan Shiba go as soon as possible."
"You asked me to save her at the beginning." Su Liang sighed slightly, "Is that cake delicious?"
Ning Jing nodded, "Delicious."
The house of the last family didn't actually collapse. When Ning Jing was helping to repair another house, he saw a middle-aged man with black fog on his forehead, so he followed him quietly. After seeing him go home, he looked around and felt that his house was not very stable and might not last long. If it suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night, it would be very likely to kill people.
But he couldn't go to the door and say that your house would collapse soon, otherwise he would be beaten.
So, Ning Jing determined the direction and kicked the wall that was most likely to collapse, but no one was hurt.
Then it was natural to help repair and reinforce the house.
Su Liang didn't know the reason. The matter had been resolved, and Ning Jing didn't mention it again. Then she suddenly asked, "Nian Jincheng and Duanmu Chen should have arrived in the capital, right?"
Ning Jing nodded, "If they are alive."
Su Liang coughed lightly, "You obviously care about someone, but you say one thing and mean another."
"Caring doesn't mean I have a responsibility for him. If he makes the wrong choice and pays the price for it, I can only say, I'm sorry." Ning Jing's expression was indifferent.
We are all adults, and we just hope that each other is well.
But often, this simple wish is not easy to achieve.
"If we go our separate ways one day, you will do the same to me, right?" Su Liang chuckled.
Ning Jing glanced at Su Liang, "You are much smarter than Nian Jincheng. You won't make the wrong choice. You will only get into trouble because of your lack of strength. Continue practicing tomorrow morning."
Su Liang got up silently and went back to his room to sleep. He had to get up early tomorrow.
…
Beijing.
Late at night, Nian Jincheng sent Duanmu Chen back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion before returning to the Nian family.
After bathing and changing clothes, Nian Jincheng felt hungry and wanted to ask his followers to find something to eat, but he heard Nian Ruxue's voice, "Second brother?"
Because of Ning Jing and Duanmu Chen's warnings, Nian Jincheng frowned subconsciously, got up and went to open the door, and saw Nian Ruxue wearing a cloak, a hood, carrying a food box, and appeared at the door with a smile.
Nian Jincheng felt warm in his heart and quickly let her in. "Fourth sister, why are you still awake so late?"
Nian Ruxue came in, put down the food box, took off her cloak, and smiled sweetly. "I told the servants here that as long as the second brother comes back, no matter how late it is, he must come to my yard to inform me. Seeing that the second brother is safe and sound, I am relieved! Are you hungry, second brother? I cooked your favorite dishes."
"I am indeed hungry." Nian Jincheng nodded, "Fourth sister, sit down and eat together."
"I'm not hungry, second brother, eat more." Nian Ruxue served rice and dishes to Nian Jincheng.
Nian Jincheng ate while listening to Nian Ruxue asking about the fourth prince.
"Everyone is safe and sound." Nian Jincheng said.
"Thank God." Nian Ruxue clasped her hands together and asked curiously, "Recently, there have been many rumors in the capital about the mastermind of the iron ore smuggling case, but there has been no conclusion. Second brother must know. Tell me quickly, is it the Prince of Nanping or the Prince of Beijing? It can't be the one in the west, right?"
Nian Jincheng shook his head, "This is a secret. The Fourth Prince didn't let me know."
Nian Ruxue frowned, "It's impossible. Second brother is with the Fourth Prince, how could he not know? Can't he tell me? I won't tell anyone else."
"I really don't know." Nian Jincheng shook his head, "The Fourth Prince doesn't trust me."
Nian Ruxue was a little disappointed, "Okay."
Nian Jincheng lowered his eyes and suddenly said, "I have news about A Ling."
Nian Ruxue was shocked, and then overjoyed, "Where is he? He is really still alive!"
"I have been thinking that if you stay in the capital, you will definitely be arranged to marry a man you don't like. In this case, why not go find A Ling. What you said, even if he doesn't accept it, you will be willing to be a slave and do his laundry and cooking for him. I think, when he sees you, he will not drive you away for my sake." Nian Jincheng raised his head, looked at Nian Ruxue and said earnestly, "Second brother has nothing else to ask for, I just hope you can live happily."
Nian Ruxue heard this, her expression was very unnatural, "This... is too sudden, second brother, are you sure he is really in the place you know? What if I go there and he is not there?"
"Don't worry." Nian Jincheng shook his head, "I have sent him a letter and made an agreement. He will definitely wait there. You don't have to pack anything. I will send you away tonight to avoid more dreams at night."
"But... I can't bear to leave my grandmother and my second brother..." Nian Ruxue said, twisting her handkerchief.
Nian Jincheng looked at her panic, not even hesitating, only the helplessness of being eager to find an excuse, his eyes were slightly cold, "Xue'er, you said that before, have you changed your mind, or did I misunderstand?"
"Second brother, ask him to pick me up, as long as he comes, I will go with him!" Nian Ruxue suddenly grabbed Nian Jincheng's arm and said.
Nian Jincheng slowly pushed her away, "Let him come to the capital? Wait for you to report him and be caught by the emperor, and then you can make a great contribution?"
