Chapter 20
"A Ling, can we live here?" Shen Wangyou picked up the fish, blew it, took a bite, and looked like he was enjoying it very much.
Lu Ling stopped picking the fish bones in his hand and looked at Shen Wangyou, "You have to live here with me."
It seemed like a question, but Lu Ling actually already knew the answer.
"Yeah." Shen Wangyou nodded, "It's too chaotic outside, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The people here are very simple and honest. We will live happily here."
Shen Wangyou leaned on the stone and put the grilled fish in his hand into his mouth.
Lu Ling also continued his actions and said, "I also want to live here for the rest of my life." Lu Ling paused, then continued, "But Shen Wangyou, I can't. I carry the blood of the entire Lu family on my body. If I live here with you for the rest of my life, I will be sorry for the Lu family, my father, and my mother."
"But A Ling, how are you going to take revenge now? You and I don't even know who our enemy is." Shen Wangyou stood up and said earnestly.
"Also, your parents in heaven definitely wouldn't want you to take risks. They just want you to live a peaceful life."
When Lu Ling heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said, "Chen Wangyou, what do you mean? If I don't know who my enemy is, then I will go find him. Even if it means I have to go through fire and water, I will take revenge."
Lu Ling stood up, clenched his hands, and said angrily: "Besides, how do you know that my parents just want me to live a stable life?"
Lu Ling's words were a bit far-fetched, but he still wanted to refute them.
Originally thought that Shen Wangyou would continue to talk to Lu Ling, but what Lu Ling did not expect was that Shen Wangyou actually hugged her in his arms and soothed her emotions.
The man's warm breath sprayed against her ear. "Okay, since you want revenge, then we will. But we have no clues right now, and there must be people out there trying to catch you. Let's hide here for a while and not rush out, okay?"
Shen Wangyou's last sentence was trembling, which made Lu Ling a little dazed.
It turns out he was so worried about himself.
Lu Ling hugged him back, buried his head in his broad shoulders, nodded and said, "Okay."
A breeze blew by, blowing the petals off the trees. The fire on the ground was burning fiercely, but no one cared.
After eating the fish, Shen Wangyou wanted to take Lu Ling to other places. It was a rare opportunity to have some free time, so Lu Ling didn't refuse.
Just walking on the road, Lu Ling would think of what Shen Wangyou had just said.
In fact, what Shen Wangyou said was right. She had just escaped from the military camp, and there must be soldiers chasing her outside. If she went out now, she might be caught at any time.
Then all these efforts will be in vain.
Although Lu Ling was eager for revenge, he did not dare to act rashly.
"A Ling, look, it's here." Shen Wangyou pointed ahead excitedly.
Lu Ling looked in the direction Shen Wangyou pointed.
In the cloudless sky, a kite was floating, swaying up and down.
Children were laughing and playing in the fields, chasing each other with strings in their hands.
"What is this?" Lu Ling looked at Shen Wangyou with a look of doubt.
Shen Wangyou narrowed his eyes, curled his lips, and looked at Lu Ling for a moment, then turned his head to look at the scenery in front of him. "When I came here that day, I saw such beautiful scenery. At that time, I thought you would like it."
Lu Ling thought, not bad, I really like it.
"You brought me here just to watch these children fly kites?" Lu Ling asked Shen Wangyou.
"Of course not." Shen Wangyou waved and called a little girl over.
“Uncle Shen, here.” The little girl handed the kite in her hand to Shen Wangyou.
Shen Wangyou squatted down, touched the little girl's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Thank you Zhenzhen."
The little girl looked at Lu Ling, then looked at Lu Ling and then at Shen Wangyou, and said in a baby voice: "Uncle Shen, is this your wife?"
When Shen Wangyou heard this, he looked up at Lu Ling and laughed, "How did Zhenzhen know? I haven't even told you yet."
The little girl looked a little disappointed. She raised her head and looked at Lu Ling and asked, "Sister, why did you fall in love with Uncle Shen? He looks..."
The words stopped abruptly, and Lu Ling saw the little girl shaking her head.
Lu Ling knew the answer in his heart as to what the unspoken words were.
Shen Wangyou became unhappy when he heard this, and pretended to be fierce, "Zhenzhen, what's wrong with me? I'm fine. And..." Shen Wangyou became even angrier when he said this.
"Why am I the uncle and she is the sister? Since you call me uncle, you should call her aunt."
The little girl now looked like a little adult. She put her hands behind her back, shook her head, and said calmly, "You don't understand."
After saying that, the little girl ran away, as if she was afraid that Shen Wangyou would chase after her.
Lu Ling was amused by the little girl's calm appearance and laughed out loud.
Accidentally catching a glimpse of Shen Wangyou's gaze, she saw him looking at her with a resentful expression.
Lu Ling imitated the little girl's behavior and said, "You don't understand."
Shen Wangyou touched his nose, stood up awkwardly, and asked Lu Ling, "Shall we go fly a kite too?"
Lu Ling nodded and just said okay.
Holding the kite in his hand, Lu Ling brought back memories.
The last time Lu Ling flew a kite was when she was ten years old. At that time, she was interested in all kinds of small objects. When she saw others flying kites, she also wanted to fly one.
There was no kite at home, so Lu's mother bought her one. However, Lu Ling did not fly the kite. Instead, she made one herself based on the one she bought.
The kite he bought failed to fly, so in the end he used the kite Lu Ling made himself.
She still remembered that at that time, Mother Lu was playing with her and following behind her, fearing that she would fall.
He didn't fall, but he lost the kite. The kite string was not strong, and it flew out after a while. Lu Ling was anxious to find the kite, and he didn't pay attention to his mother, and hurried out of the house.
A kite fell into the Su Mansion. Su Yun saw that it fell from the Lu Mansion, so he hid the kite. Lu Ling had a quarrel with Su Yun because of this and then took the kite home.
It was already dusk when he returned home. Lu Ling was still immersed in the joy of having won the argument with Su Yun, but when he saw Lu Xing sitting in the main hall with a gloomy face, the smile on Lu Ling's face disappeared instantly.
Thinking of asking his mother for help, Lu Ling looked around but still couldn't see his mother.
"Don't look for her anymore. Your mother is resting in the room." After Lu Xing said this, his expression became even darker.
Lu Ling's heart was pounding. His mother usually didn't go to bed so early. He didn't know what had happened. Lu Ling had a hunch that this was related to him.
Lu Ling bravely asked, "Father, is Mother feeling unwell?"
"Hmph, you still dare to ask." Lu Xing said, suppressing his anger.
Lu Ling was not afraid of Lu Xing originally. In the past, Lu Xing was just pretending. As long as his mother said a few words, Lu Xing would turn around and start to coax her.
But with today's situation, Lu Ling was inexplicably scared.
"Can't you wait for your mother when you fly the kite? Don't be so anxious. Your mother accidentally sprained her foot while trying to catch up with you today." Lu Xing's expression was no longer ugly, and his tone relaxed.
"You have to serve your mother these few days and you are not allowed to have fun."
Lu Ling lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "Okay."
Lu Ling listened to his father and went to see his mother, only to find her lying on a recliner, sleeping soundly.
There is incense lit in the room, and wisps of it float in the air. Although the fragrance fills the room, it does not make people feel sick.
Lu Ling walked up to Zhou Qing, squatted down, quietly pulled open his mother's trouser legs, took a look, and saw a large red spot on her feet.
The red mark on the foot caught Lu Ling's eyes. The redness and swelling were not very obvious, but it still gave the young Lu Ling a great shock. Lu Ling felt distressed and secretly decided not to fly kites anymore.
For many years after that, she didn't fly a kite again.
"A Ling, how about we go fly kites too?" Shen Wangyou asked Lu Ling.
Lu Ling struggled internally for a long time and nodded hesitantly.
The kite was released into the air, like a bird spreading its wings and flying high.
Lu Ling pulled the string intermittently for a while, and soon the kite fell to the ground. Lu Ling looked at the fallen kite and felt a little angry.
He picked up the kite and started running, imitating the way the children next to him were flying kites.
After running again and again, the kite still didn't fly away. Lu Ling became discouraged and stomped his feet and threw the kite on the ground.
Shen Wangyou had also taken a kite at some point and was pulling the string. Seeing Lu Ling's exasperated look, he jokingly said, "It turns out that there are things that A Ling can't do."
When Lu Ling heard Shen Wangyou mocking him, his dissatisfaction grew stronger, and he said in a strange tone: "Yes, there are many things I don't know, you should find someone else to be your wife."
It was just a casual remark, but Shen Wangyou took it seriously.
Shen Wangyou handed the kite in his hand to the child next to him, and then walked to Lu Ling.
"A Ling, you can't say such things." Lu Ling's mouth was blocked by Shen Wangyou's hand.
Lu Ling stared at Shen Wangyou with a fierce look.
“A Ling, don’t look at me like that.” Shen Wangyou said, his eyes stained with lust, bewitching Lu Ling’s heart.
What Lu Ling didn't know was that his eyes looked fierce to him, but to Shen Wangyou they were quite funny and looked very cute.
Seeing that Shen Wangyou was reluctant to let go, Lu Ling raised his hand and pulled Shen Wangyou's hand away.
As soon as he touched the other person's hand, Lu Ling was held by the hand by the person in front of him.
Lu Ling's face flushed, and he felt his face was burning. He stammered, "I, I was just joking."
Shen Wangyou's voice was hoarse. She slowly approached Lu Ling, put her head close to Lu Ling's ear, and said, "Then Madam, please don't make such jokes next time. Your husband can't stand it."
Even though he had been with Shen Wangyou for a long time, Lu Ling couldn't resist him as long as he was a little gentle.
Lu Ling could only sigh that he was not good enough.
Unable to bear Shen Wangyou's whispers, Lu Ling pushed Shen Wangyou away, picked up the kite, and ran to the side.
Being hugged from behind, Lu Ling heard a familiar voice, "Pull it down first, then..."
The kites flew very high, sometimes near, sometimes far away. The green hills in the distance were rolling. There was not a cloud in the blue sky, only bursts of flying kites.
