When I got home, the warmth and tension in my heart finally relaxed, and only then did I feel the pain. There were abrasions on my hands, arms, legs, and even back.
"hiss..."
Wen Nuan endured the pain, changed her dirty clothes, cleaned herself, and then began to treat the wound.
Fortunately, these scratches were not too serious and they would be fine after a couple of days of rest.
Thinking about the wolf in the space, Wen Nuan felt very angry. If it was because of this big guy, she would have ended up in such a miserable state!
Lying on the kang, the extremely tired Wen Nuan soon fell asleep, but she knew that while she was sleeping, two people sneaked into Liu Haizhu's house one after another.
Liu Haizhu and Zhao Cuiping were sleeping soundly at home, but they didn't expect that a sack was suddenly put on them, followed by a beating.
The wailing filled the entire courtyard. Just when he finally got a chance to catch his breath, he was beaten again.
On a road far away from Liu Haizhu's house, two men were facing each other, and the scene was a bit deadlocked.
Zhao Qianjin looked at the familiar figure in front of him, and countless images flashed through his mind, but he still dared not believe it.
Wu Rui knew that Zhao Qianjin recognized him. Although he felt sorry for his impulse, he did not regret it at all.
The two men confronted each other for a long time. Finally, Wu Ruiming took a step back first, pulled down the scarf on his face, and there was a hint of apology in his tone.
"I'm sorry... Qianjin, I have my own reasons too!"
Zhao Qianjin confirmed his guess. Although he was angry at Wu Ruiming for deceiving him, he was happy for him in his heart. After all, a good person is better than anything else.
"I know you don't need to apologize. If I were you, I would probably make the same choice..."
Zhao Qianjin wanted to force a smile, but the corners of his mouth seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Wu Ruiming felt very complicated when he saw this. The relationship between the Wu family and the Zhao family destined them to be friends forever.
But Wu Ruiming kept in mind the childhood friendship and Zhao Qianjin's care.
But he was not qualified to forgive Zhao's family for what they had done on behalf of their deceased family members.
"Move forward..."
Wu Ruiming opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Needless to say, Ruiming, your leg is fine, and my guilt has been alleviated a lot. This is good, really good."
"I am..."
"I know you're hiding this from me on purpose. I think Xingzhou must know about this, so he wouldn't be so sensible."
Thinking of Wu Xingzhou, Wu Ruiming also felt guilty.
But if he pretended to be lame, he would not be able to escape the surveillance of those people, let alone protect the things left by the Wu family.
"I'm sorry..."
Thousands of words were finally summed up in one sentence: Wu Ruiming still cared about his friend Zhao Qianjin in his heart.
"I won't tell you that. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you. But are you here today because of Wen Zhiqing?"
Wu Ruiming didn't expect Zhao Qianjin to make things clear. He was embarrassed for a moment but then returned to normal.
"So, you are also trying to vent your anger on Wen Zhiqing. Are you attracted to her?"
"Yes, I like Wen Zhiqing very much and want to pursue her. How did you fall in love with her? Is it because she saved Xingzhou last time?"
Wu Ruiming shook his head. Perhaps he himself knew clearly when he fell in love with Wen Nuan, but looking at Zhao Qianjin in front of him, Wu Ruiming felt a little inferior.
With his current status, if he wants to be with Wen Nuan, he will undoubtedly drag Wen Nuan into this vortex. Will Wen Nuan be willing?
"I... it was because of Xingzhou's incident. I also said that I knew exactly how I fell in love with her.
But don't worry, I won't cause trouble to Wen Zhiqing. After all, my current identity is suitable. I just want to protect her..."
"Yes... Protect her!"
In just a few moments, Wu Ruiming made his decision.
Since my identity is suitable to stand by Wen Nuan's side, I will protect him silently in secret, as long as his girl can be happy!
Zhao Qianjin had never thought that Wu Ruiming had such a side. Although they were rivals in love, they were also friends. After much hesitation, Zhao Qianjin finally gave Wu Ruiming some words of comfort:
"Think it over. Some things can't be let go just by saying so. Don't do things that will make you regret it!"
"you...."
Wu Ruiming was about to say something, but Zhao Qianjin just turned around and left.
"It's early, and I have to go to work tomorrow. I'm going to sleep, and you should go back too!"
Being able to comfort his love rival with just one sentence was already the limit of Zhao Qianjin's ability.
Ignoring the bitterness in his heart, Zhao Qianjin quickly disappeared into the night, leaving Wu Ruiming standing there alone, furious.
After a long time, with the dew soaking his feet, Wu Ruiming walked back to his own stable with stiff steps.
Standing outside the stable, the two thoughts that had arisen earlier were extinguished again.
In my current situation, even if I like her very much, I can't drag the girl into this quagmire of my home!
She instantly knew from the warm and bright feeling how the two men had been entangled and fighting for her last night.
It was already past nine in the morning when Wen Nuan woke up. Thinking of the wolf in the space, Wen Nuan went straight into the space.
Having suffered so much, she naturally wanted to taste the wolf meat.
However, Wen Nuan didn't know how to deal with the wolf. Considering the integrity of the wolf skin, Wen Nuan hesitated for a long time, but finally didn't do it.
[Humph, you beast got a bargain, I'll eat rabbit meat first! ]
Giving up the idea of eating wolf meat, Wen Nuan carried the rabbit out of the space. Compared with wolves, it was much easier to deal with rabbits.
After a while, green smoke began to rise from the kitchen chimney.
Wen Nuan chopped the cleaned rabbit into small pieces, then added chili peppers and stir-fried them together. Soon, the aroma of the rabbit meat wafted out.
With the big pot of stewed rabbit, Wen Nuan also steamed a bowl of rice.
White rice with rabbit meat, this meal is warm and very satisfying!
Wen Nuan finished her meal and just in time heard the bell for the end of work. She packed up and prepared to go to Zhang Cuifen's place later. After all, she had agreed to exchange some mountain products yesterday.
But before Wen Nuan could leave, Zhang Cuifen came over with a few aunties carrying things.
“Knock, knock…”
"Are you, Mr. Wen, at home? I am your Aunt Cuifen!"
Wen Nuan had just changed her clothes and came out immediately after hearing Zhang Cuifen's voice.
"Aunt Cuifen, I said I would come to see you later, but you came first!"
"I thought you would be out this morning, so I brought them here.
Let me introduce them to you. These are your Aunt Zhao, Aunt Sun, Aunt Zhu, and Aunt Liu!"
"Hello, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Sun, Aunt Zhu, Aunt Liu, please take a seat. We were in the same room yesterday and it was all in vain!"
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you're fine. You know, Aunt Cuifen was very worried when you didn't come back yesterday!"
"Yes, it was me who made Aunt Cuifen worried. You guys sit down first, I'll go get some water!"
"Don't bother, we'll be leaving soon!"
"You have to drink some water, too. How can you drink your saliva when you have guests? Auntie, please sit down first!"
After Wen Nuan finished speaking, she stood up to pour water, took out five small bowls, put some sugar in the bowls, and then boiled them with boiling water.
This month, when guests come to visit, treating them with sweet soup is considered a high standard.
"Come on, everyone, drink some water. After you finish drinking, we can talk about mountain products!"
Wen Nuan brought the water to a few people, and seeing how enthusiastic she was, they stopped refusing.
Aunt Zhao picked up the bowl and took a sip, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, it's still sugar water! Wen Zhiqing spent a lot of money!"
"It's not expensive at all. Candy is bought to be drunk!"
