Chapter 154
Xue Shun wanted to give an explanation to the dead.
But Quan Shuanwa just wanted them to leave, and Liu Huaya just sat there in despair, not saying a word.
This is so discouraging.
Ma Qianli looked anxious and tried to persuade the old man for a long time, but all he got was one sentence from the old man: "Forget it..."
How can this be let go?
Xue Shun silently held Shen Jiao's hand and walked towards the carriage, looking particularly sad.
"Go to Musong Village." He said softly.
Shen Jiao replied nonchalantly, "Okay."
"Sir, don't be too sad. It's not that they are heartless or don't love their children. They are just too scared. What will they do if Lin Changxi is really captured? At least they have a place to live now. If they anger the master, not only will they lose the place to live, they may even lose their lives..."
Shen Jiao didn't finish his words, but Xue Shun understood them. He paused and almost wanted to turn around and make some promises to them to boost their courage, but he didn't do that in the end.
"Let's go to Musong Village first, and then we'll talk about it when we come back."
Even if he wanted to find a place to put them, he had to have a place.
Moreover, these two people refused to even tell him what happened that day, let alone leave with him.
Quan Shuanwa and Liu Huaya's fear of Yonghe Restaurant made Xue Shun realize that this matter was more difficult than he had imagined, and he became more and more eager to meet Li Yan, the victim.
He placed his hopes on Li Yan, hoping that he would dare to fight for himself.
Because if he doesn't fight, Xue Shun will really be helpless.
A barber who is too eager to do something is likely to end up doing something bad with good intentions.
Xue Shun understood this principle, and Shen Jiao also knew it very well.
Ma Qianli was confused, staring anxiously, and stopped Xue Shun, saying, "Master, please don't leave yet. Let me talk to them. Uncle Quan and Aunt Liu are confused. If you leave, they will regret it."
Xue Shun was so dizzy that he was standing there. If the other party hadn't figured it out yet, he would have to lie down first.
Shen Jiao stood between the two of them, helping Xue Shun up while explaining to Ma Qianli, "Young Master didn't say to ignore it. If they can't make up their minds, they can think about it again. It's the same if we go find another victim first. It's the same case anyway, so we won't forget them. But Brother Ma, why don't you go back and tell them that you're leaving with us like this? I'm afraid my family will be worried."
"Oh, this..." Ma Qianli turned his head and saw Quan Shuanwa hiding at the door, avoiding their gazes. His look made people feel angry.
Ma Qianli panted heavily and said, "No need, I'll just find someone to deliver the message."
"No need to look for him... I'll go... I'll tell your grandfather, you just need to follow him without worry." Quan Shuanwa's voice floated over from the door.
The nameless anger in Ma Qianli's heart burned even more fiercely.
"Uncle Quan, you..."
He watched Quan Shuanwa raise and lower his head and waved his hand weakly.
"Forget it, girls, get in the car and sit inside. I'll take you to Musong Village right now. Hurry up and we'll be back in town before dark."
Ma Qianli didn't have the energy to persuade him anymore.
Seeing Shen Jiao also got into the carriage, he jumped onto the shaft, pulled the reins, and drove the carriage away with the word "ri".
Shen Jiao let Xue Shun rest his head on her legs, lifted the curtain and looked back. The two men had been staying there, motionless like stone statues. Only when they disappeared from view did Shen Jiao lower the curtain.
Xue Shun closed his eyes and asked her, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I'm just looking around."
"It's a lie."
"Really?" Shen Jiao looked into Xue Shun's open eyes, seeing the light of doubt in them. She then said, "I don't know what I'm looking at. Perhaps... I just want to see... what parents who have lost their children look like."
"What are you looking at?" Xue Shun stroked Shen Jiao's hand on him, "You seem to have never told me about your parents."
"The master has never told this servant about his past."
At least not when I'm awake...
Shen Jiao recalled Xue Shun's crazy drunken behavior. She pursed her lips and softened her harsh voice: "Everyone has a past they don't want to talk about. There's no point in talking about it."
Xue Shun's face turned pale: "...If you want to hear it, I can tell you."
"If that happens, I will have to talk about my past. Sir, please don't talk about it."
Shen Jiao doesn't want to know about Xue Shun's past, nor does she want Xue Shun to know about her own affairs.
It’s not that she felt sad talking about those things, but she was afraid that the more Xue Shun heard, the less he would like her, and that would be a waste of time.
Xue Shun pressed her hand to his heart: "You don't have to say it."
"Your servant doesn't have to listen."
Xue Shun lowered his eyes, seeming even sadder.
So hard to please...
I'm afraid he'll regret it after he says it.
Shen Jiao pretended not to see his awkwardness, and Xue Shun didn't say anything. The carriage was shaking, and he even slept for a while.
It felt like I just opened and closed my eyes, and I felt like I hadn't slept enough, but in fact, a long time had passed.
Xue Shun asked hoarsely, "Hasn't it arrived yet?"
"We're here. Brother Ma has gone to inquire about Li Yan's residence. Young Master, please wake up and it's time to get up."
"Um... I don't have the strength, give me a push."
Although he said he was pushing, Shen Jiao felt that he was actually lifting him up. He didn't seem to use any strength at all and ended up tiring himself out.
"Take another pill..."
Xue Shun breathed softly and broke out in a sweat in an instant.
"It's not time yet. Young Master has already eaten too much today."
"I know. I won't eat tonight."
Xue Shun said he knew, but his hands had already started groping around. It was obvious that he was not prepared to obey. Shen Jiao gave him the medicine and he calmed down, leaning against the carriage and waiting quietly.
Shen Jiao helped him tidy up his messy hair. For some reason, he nudged her palm like a puppy.
Shen Jiao touched his head, which didn't feel very good. It was a bit frizzy. He should apply some oil to nourish it and take some Wuhei pills. It seemed that he had more white hair.
Shen Jiao held his face and kissed him.
I feel that time flies, and I always feel that each kiss is one less.
Logically speaking, Xue Shun shouldn't be old at his age, but he is really too worried.
Xue Shun opened his eyes and looked at her: "Do you like me?"
Shen Jiao: I just said that he is thoughtful. What does this have to do with likes or dislikes?
"Sir, please take a rest for a while."
Ma Qianli came back quickly and brought them to Li Yan's house in a short time.
The courtyard looked quite nice, with a brick wall and two doors. Not far from the door, there was a willow tree growing next to the wall, looking full of vitality. Shen Jiao helped Xue Shun get out of the car.
Ma Qianli went to knock on the door. After knocking for a long time, someone answered and asked, "Who is it?"
