Respectively

【respectively】

Hearing the roar of horses in the backyard in the middle of the night, Ning Jing opened his eyes but did not get up.

When Su Liang got up in the morning, he was no longer in the room.

Hot water was boiled in the kitchen. After Su Liang washed up, there was still no peace. There was no movement in the room where Yan Yu was, so she started to make breakfast.

When the porridge was almost ready, Su Liang turned around and saw Yan Yu walking to the door.

The previously innocent and optimistic girl seemed to have been drained of all her vitality overnight. She became pale and weak, and her eyes were severely swollen.

Their eyes met, and Yan Yu spoke with a hoarse voice, "Su Liang..."

Just calling her name made me burst into tears.

Su Liang put down the spoon and just held Yan Yu's arm when she leaned over weakly.

"I'm sorry..." Yan Yu choked.

"You did nothing wrong." Su Liang sighed.

No matter how bad Yan Feng is, his care and love for Yan Yu is not fake.

The day before yesterday, Yan Feng was in danger and his life was in danger. After being rescued by Su Liang, Yan Yu's heart was relieved. In just one day, he witnessed Yan Feng's tragic death again.

To her, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"My eldest brother..." Yan Yu mentioned Yan Feng again, his grief mixed with disappointment, "I am too naive and do not understand people's hearts. Even my only relative is not who I thought he was."

Su Liang was really not good at comforting people, and she didn't want to say nonsense like "Yan Feng was just confused for a moment." They all knew the truth.

"What are your plans next?" Su Liang changed the subject.

Yan Yu sat on the small bench, and the blazing flames in the stove illuminated his face with a bit of warmth, but his eyes, which were once full of smiles, could not get even half of the warmth.

"I want to go home." Yan Yu whispered.

Su Liang was a little surprised.

"Send my eldest brother home for burial and avenge myself." Yan Yu said.

"Seeking revenge on Yanwu? What result do you want?" Su Liang asked.

After Yan Yu was silent for a moment, he asked, "If he is really my half-brother, and it was my father who felt sorry for him first, what do you think I should do?"

"It was your father who made the mistake, not you." Su Liang looked indifferently, "What about brothers and sisters? He can kill you cruelly. If there is a chance, it is best to get rid of him. It is destined to be a life-and-death relationship, and he chose it. Once you become soft-hearted, you will definitely be the one who dies in the end.”

Yan Yu nodded, "You're right."

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with you finding a place to live a peaceful life." Su Liang didn't disapprove of Yan Yu's return for revenge, but this would inevitably be accompanied by great dangers, and it wasn't worth risking his life.

"I know you care about me, thank you." Yan Yu looked at Su Liang, his eyes softened a little, "If I want to stay, you will take me in, right?"

Su Liang raised her eyebrows, "Then you, the eldest lady, can only work as a maid for me, chopping wood, carrying water, cooking and washing, do you want to do that?"

Yan Yu narrowed her eyes and said softly, "I'm very happy. But I still have an unfulfilled wish."

Su Liang did not ask what Yan Yu's wish was. She felt that it should not just be revenge.

Breakfast had just been prepared when Ningjing came back from outside, holding a handful of fresh wild vegetables with dewdrops in his hand.

Su Liang ate it at Bai's house last night. She praised it and asked Aunt Bai where she picked it.

"I wanted to eat, so I went to find some." Ning Jing said.

It's also true.

…

The words are not there. He rode Ning Jing's horse away in the middle of the night and took Yan Feng's body with him. He wanted to go to the county town to buy a shroud and coffin and hire an escort to escort him home.

After arrangements are made, he will come back to pick up Yan Yu, catch up with the escort and leave together.

After breakfast, Yan Yu was about to clean up the blood-soaked bedding on the ground when Su Liang carried her directly to the backyard and lit it on fire.

Yan Yu sat at the table with the iron awl that killed Yan Feng in front of him. When he saw Su Liang coming back, he asked her, "Are you leaving this place?"

Su Liang shook his head, "I have no plans to leave for the time being."

"But..." Yan Yu's eyes fell on the sharp iron awl, and he frowned slightly, "Ning Yao knows that Young Master Ning Qi is here and will not let you go."

Su Liang was very calm, "You can't escape this forever."

Yan Yu sighed and looked at Su Liang seriously, "If one day you leave here and go elsewhere, you must send me a letter and let me know how to find you."

"Okay." Su Liang agreed.

Yan Yu is her second friend in this world.

The first one, of course, is that the magic stick pretends to be fair and peaceful.

…

The Bai family father and his son, who took the wild boar to the town to sell it early in the morning, came back near noon.

Aunt Bai brought Bai Xiaohu to give Su Liang money.

"Feiyan Restaurant received about four hundred kilograms, which is calculated as fifteen cents per kilogram, and sold for a total of six taels of silver." Aunt Bai opened the bag and neatly collected six ounces of silver.

Bai Xiaohu said with a smile, "My father said, I only need one or two for my family!"

Su Liang took the three coins and said, "It was decided last night, half for the whole family."

Finally, Aunt Bai left with three hanging coins in her pocket. Bai Xiaohu asked Su Liang when he would go up the mountain to hunt wild boars again.

"In two days, if the weather is good." Su Liang looked at the mountains behind the house, feeling really interested in hunting.

But it had just rained heavily and the mountains were muddy, so it was not suitable to go there for the time being.

"You must call me!" Bai Xiaohu jumped up excitedly.

"As long as your parents agree." Su Liang nodded with a smile.

Bai Xiaohu ran away as fast as he could. Su Liang entered the room, put the money on the table, and sighed, "There is no meat at home, and there will be no food tomorrow."

Ning Jing put down the book in his hand, "Shall I try the gambling house?"

Su Liang's tone was faint, "Last time I talked about copying books for others, but this time it turned into gambling. Mr. Ning, you have fallen."

"You don't agree?" Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang shook his head, "I want to go too."

Ning Jing picked up the book again, "Remember to practice calligraphy."

...

After lunch, Su Liang boiled another bowl of medicine for Yan Yu, and she fell asleep after drinking it.

Yan Wen, who left in the middle of the night, rode back at 5 pm and fetched water to wash the carriage in the corner of the yard.

"Mr. Ning Qi, can this horse and carriage..." Yan Wen said a little embarrassedly.

"Take it." Ning Jing nodded.

Yan Wen bowed deeply, "I don't need to thank you for your great kindness. If I can help the young lady regain the family property, I will definitely come back to repay the two benefactors!"

He had some silver on him, but he had spent a lot of it. The journey was long, and he had to save some for travel expenses. He had no money to buy another carriage.

And the carriage originally belonged to Yan Feng, and Ning Jing didn't plan to use it.

In the room, Yan Yu was hugging Su Liang with tears in her eyes and saying goodbye to her.

"Are you sure that Yan Wen can be trusted?" Su Liang asked.

"Well, Brother Wen is an orphan adopted by my mother, and he has treated me like his own sister since I was a child." Yan Yu said in a muffled voice.

"In short, be more careful with people and things in the future." Su Liang reminded.

Yan Yu's eyes were firm, "We will definitely meet again!"

Not long after, Yan Yu got on the carriage, still wearing the clothes that Su Liang bought for her that day. Finally, she looked at Su Liang deeply, lowered the curtain, and said, "Let's go."

"Take care, both of you! See you later!" Yan Wen finished speaking, raised the whip, and drove away.

After the carriage left Sujia Village, Yan Wen said, "Miss, I will take you to a safe place first, and then take you home after Yan Wu is dealt with, okay?"

"No." Yan Yu's voice was very cold, "I know what to do."

Yan Wen sighed deeply, "I thought it was not a bad thing that Miss wanted to stay here."

"It's good here. But I owe Su Liang money and her life, how can I feel at ease to let her take care of me? I want to go back and take back everything in the Yan family and give it to her." Yan Yu's voice was very light, but it was full of determination.

Yan Wen was stunned, "Does Madam Ning know about this?"

"She doesn't ask for anything from me, this is my own wish." Yan Yu said, "From now on, Su Liang is my most important relative in the world."
