Ning Jing Is Not at Home
[Ning Jing is not at home]
Su Liang's heart skipped a beat at what Su Dafu said before he died. Read
This is a world of superstition.
And the difference between her and the original owner is obvious.
People in Beijing who knew the original owner, if they saw Su Liang now, would be surprised by her changes, which could be explained as a change in her temperament. After all, she had been away from Beijing for a year.
After coming to the village, Su Liang had no contact with anyone other than Su Daqiang's family.
But Su Daqiang's family saw with their own eyes that after one night, Su Liang came back to life and seemed to have become a different person.
They thought Su Liang was not dead, but now they have come to their senses.
It seems to be nonsense, but many people will believe it. Even people in the village who were originally on good terms with Su Liang may regard her as a monster.
When Ning Jing looked at Su Liang again, black mist had appeared between her eyebrows.
It was not the first time that she had the intention to kill Su Daqiang's family. The last time Ning Jing stopped it was because the death of that family would cause Su Liang to face a murder lawsuit.
This time, Ning Jing still didn't let Su Liang do it.
"I say, will you really spare me?" Su Daming looked horrified.
"Yes." Su Liang nodded, "He acted too quickly just now. I never wanted you to die, I just wanted to see you suffer while alive."
Su Daming seemed to remember something horrible, and kept shaking his head, "No... I don't want to go back to the mine! I won't go back!"
As a result, Su Daming didn't know who redeemed them. The man was so well disguised that he didn't even have any characteristics.
The other four were still in the mine and would not be redeemed until their "mission" was completed.
Ning Jing stood up, "Take him, go."
Su Daming shrank, dragged Su Dafu's body, and followed Ning Jing out the door.
Seeing Su Liang stand up, Ning Jing turned around and said, "You stay at home, and when Xing Yusheng comes tomorrow, go with him to the villa."
Su Liang thought Ning Jing was just going to deal with the father and son, but it sounded like he wouldn't be back for a while?
Without waiting for Su Liang to ask, Ning Jing pulled Su Daming with a rope, dragged Su Dafu's body behind him, and went out to the back mountain.
Su Liang walked out of the house and saw Old Man Bai and Bai Peng carrying buckets across the bridge to go home.
The fire at Su Xingzhe's house opposite was extinguished, and the fire circle at Su Daqiang's house was slowly shrinking and was about to burn out.
"Why is Liang girl standing there? Is it okay?" Old Man Bai asked in a hoarse voice.
Su Liang replied, "It's okay, I'll go back after taking a look."
As for the real culprit of the arson, there is no need to say it.
Niu Pozi's family was not affected. I heard from Aunt Bai that Su Daming, who was a gambler and a whore, hated "other people's children" Su Xingzhe very much, and the two families had a deep conflict.
If Niu Pozi's family knew who did it, the account would be counted on Su Liang again.
Many people in the village who were bullied by Su Daqiang's family inevitably blamed Su Yuanzhou, who had been providing money to Su Daqiang. And this is indeed a cause and effect.
…
When I woke up, the sky was bright.
Su Liang opened the door. The courtyard was quiet. The newly planted pines and cypresses glowed dark green in the sun.
There was no one in Ning Jing's room. On the table was a book he hadn't finished reading last night. The bookmark inside was a ginkgo leaf that Su Liang had picked up in the yard of Mrs. Xing in Qiu Ming Villa.
The golden "little fan" was surrounded by ink-colored words, and at first glance it still looked like it was floating in the air.
I heated up two steamed buns from yesterday, and didn't cook any more.
While eating, Aunt Bai came to the door.
"His house is really uninhabitable now! It's burnt out, so he can only stay at Su Erhui's house again!"
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, in-laws."
Aunt Bai curled her lips, "What kind of in-laws are these! Who cares about them! It's just a pity that your house is so good, and there's nothing left after a fire!"
"I'll give the deed to the head of the village and ask him to help sell it." Su Liang said.
"Well, you two don't need it. If it wasn't next to Su Xingzhe's house, my family could buy it and build a house for the second son to live in after getting married." Aunt Bai felt a little regretful.
"Is the marriage settled?" Su Liang asked with a smile.
Aunt Bai sighed repeatedly, "No! The second son doesn't agree with the girl I like, and he's thinking about that..."
Aunt Bai paused and smiled, "This kind of thing can't be rushed."
Su Liang knew that Aunt Bai opposed Bai He and Liu Huilan being together, but didn't want to say it clearly. It seems that Bai He has not given up yet.
Su Liang just said some polite and nice things to this.
After Aunt Bai left, Su Liang went to Su Daqiang's house again.
The furniture had been sold long ago. The walls were burned black.
The old pear tree that was full of fruits not long ago was left with only half of a completely carbonized wooden stump.
In the backyard, after the shack collapsed, half of the wooden board piled in the corner of the wall was left unburned, and a half-black and half-purple eggplant was pressed underneath.
Su Liang sighed lightly and was about to turn around and leave. Her eyes were fixed on a certain place and she walked over.
Where the original owner's bed was, there was a hint of purple in the dark brick cracks. At first glance, it looked like a half-burnt eggplant buried in it.
But the color was wrong.
Su Liang picked up a stick, pushed the broken bricks aside, poked a few times in the soil, and a purple jade pendant covered with dust appeared in front of her.
After wiping it clean, the bright and translucent violet color was mysterious and beautiful. It was a genuine product and worth a lot of money.
This item could not belong to Su Daqiang's family. It should have been hidden by the original owner. After seeing the faces of the family, it was buried under the bed and was not discovered.
Su Liang put the jade pendant away and planned to put it together with the embroidery left by the original owner. One day, if she met someone who really cared about the original owner, she would give it to the other person.
She looked around and found nothing else.
She took the land deed and the original house deed to the home of the village head Su Bai.
After stating his purpose, Su Bai said that the land was in a good location and next to Su Xingzhe's house, so it was easy to sell.
Then he sighed, "Liang girl, I am also your cousin, don't think I am too nosy, did Mr. Ning mention taking you home?"
Su Liang shook his head.
Su Bai's eyes were a little distressed, "After this... Alas! You two should live a good life!"
Su Liang knew that as long as Ning Jing's parents said that they did not recognize her as their daughter-in-law, she would have nothing to do with Ning Jing.
Su Bai asked about Xing Yusheng, and when he learned that Su Liang knew medicine, his eyes lit up!
"Liang girl, there is nothing you can't tell others about this, right?" Su Bai asked, "Our village is small, and there has never been a doctor. We have to travel a long way to see a doctor! It would be great if you could treat people!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Liang eagerly.
Su Liang thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
Su Bai clapped his hands in joy, "Okay, okay! I tell everyone! If someone comes to you for treatment, you should charge the consultation fee!"
Su Liang knew that she couldn't make much money practicing medicine in the village, but there would be a lot of work, but she needed the opportunity to practice. What she learned in her previous life is still different from the actual situation in this world.
After returning home, Su Liang waited and waited, but Xing Yusheng, who was always punctual, didn't come.
It was almost noon, Su Liang was cooking, and heard someone knocking on the door.
It was Qi Jun. He came on horseback, in a hurry.
"My old lady and the prince left for the capital early in the morning." Qi Jun said.
Su Liang was surprised, "What happened?"
Qi Jun sighed, "The emperor chose a son-in-law for his favorite sixth princess, and sent someone to summon the prince to the capital."
Su Liang saw Qi Jun's solemn face, and knew that the princess's choice of a son-in-law was probably an excuse.
Xing Yusheng mentioned that his grandparents' home was in the capital, but he had never been there.
Su Liang guessed that the emperor wanted to "kidnap" the son of the prince, and found a plausible reason.
"I'll prescribe another prescription for you to take away. Acupuncture will help you recover faster, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it." Su Liang said, and turned into the room.
Qi Jun came here, first to inform Su Liang, and second for Xing Yusheng's illness.
Su Liang quickly wrote the prescription and handed it to Qi Jun, and said, "In fact, your son's body recovers too quickly, which may not be a good thing."
Qi Jun was shocked and bowed, "Thank you Miss Su for reminding me. I will tell the old lady and the prince."
"Please take care of them." Su Liang took a few buns to Qi Jun and asked him to eat on the way.
He also asked Ning Jing whether it would be affected if he took Xing Yusheng's jade card to participate in the imperial examination. Qi Jun said that it would not be affected at all, so they could rest assured.
After thanking him again, Qi Jun rode away in a hurry.
After leaving Sujia Village, he remembered that he didn't see Ning Jing this time.
After Su Liang sent Qi Jun away, she remembered that Ning Jing asked her to stay at Qiu Ming Villa with Xing Yusheng last night. She didn't expect that she would leave suddenly without even having the chance to say goodbye.
It was dark, Su Liang had a simple dinner, and sat in the room reading a miscellaneous book Ning Jing bought.
Unconsciously, it was late at night, and she put down the book to wash up.
Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, she suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the backyard!
Su Liang's eyes condensed, and she went back to the room, picked up the iron awl on the table and stuffed it into her sleeve, blew out the light, hid behind the door, and held her breath...
