On the other hand, since Shen Xu came here, Song Lin reads books very late every night and does not go to bed until Shen Xu falls asleep.
The books that were rarely opened on his desk were quickly finished by him.
Shen Xu seemed to have gotten used to sleeping first. She gradually stretched out from her original position where she was curled up like a cat and slept alertly on the pillow.
But sleeping posture is still very bad.
Song Lin lovingly covered her with the quilt, lay down beside her, gently pecked her pink cheek, then quickly turned around and closed his eyes.
During this period of time, the more he looked at this girl, the more he felt that she was beautiful. Ever since he forcefully kissed her, his desire to have her began to grow rapidly.
In order to prevent himself from losing control and causing serious consequences, he slept late every night, and was even more relieved when he was on night duty.
He began to worry that she would find her family, that she would be taken home by the brother named Yan, and that one day she would be like the cat and run away and suddenly not come home.
It seems that I have to marry her as soon as possible.
Stray cats are hard to tame.
…
Shen Xu recently found a job that can make money - copying books for a bookstall.
At first, the bookstall owner was reluctant to accept her things, but after seeing her neat and tidy cursive handwriting, he reluctantly agreed to let her copy the books.
"Young lady, are you here to deliver books for your husband again? I didn't expect that Constable Song is not only a martial arts master, but also has such beautiful handwriting." The owner of the bookstall flipped through the book she had copied, nodded with satisfaction and praised him.
Shen Xu did not refute, but directly asked for a few more books, saying: "I think my husband can also write letters, write couplets and translate books from other countries. If the boss needs it, you can give me the materials."
"Oh, Constable Song can even read other languages? He's wasting his talent as a constable. He should take the imperial examination."
The book stall owner was slightly surprised, then took out two books and said, "I bought two books from the North Sea Kingdom a while ago, but no one could understand them and no one bought them. Why don't you take them back and ask your husband to see if they can be translated into the language of the Haoyue Kingdom?"
Shen Xu took the book and bargained, "The language of the North Sea Country is more complicated, so you have to pay more."
"If Constable Song can translate it, I'll give you a 30% bonus."
Shen Xu held up two fingers and said, "At least double it."
The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "You can translate it and then bargain with me about the price. It will not be lower than the price of other books."
Shen Xu nodded and left with the book in his arms.
Under a sycamore tree not far away, a man holding a knife and holding a piece of grass in his mouth was looking at the beautiful figure from afar.
Just as he was about to follow, he seemed to notice something, spat out the grass in his mouth, and disappeared into the crowd.
When Shen Xu returned home, he saw the girl who had jumped into the river and her mother whom he had saved that day. They were standing by the half wall outside the yard, looking inside, holding a basket of eggs in their hands.
The woman saw Shen Xu coming back with the book in her arms, and she quickly went up to him, smiling and saying, "Silly girl."
Shen Xu: “…”
"Thanks to you for saving my Yan'er that day, I don't have anything good to thank you, so I saved some country eggs for you to nourish your body."
The woman patiently held her hand, pointed to the free-range eggs in the basket, and said, "Free-range eggs, eatable. Thank you."
“Uh…” Shen Xu: I’m not deaf.
She pushed open the gate, invited the two in, put down the books, and moved two small stools for them to sit on.
The woman looked into the house and asked, "Has your Mr. Song gone on duty?"
Shen Xu nodded, poured a glass of water for the two of them, and pushed the basket of eggs back to the woman. "Saving someone is just a small favor. No need for a thank you. Auntie, just take it back and give it to Yan'er."
After saving Yan'er that day, Shen Xu went to the government office to take a statement and heard about Yan'er's experience from other people.
She was the daughter of the owner of a tofu shop in town. On her way to deliver tofu to her family, she was unfortunately raped by a bandit roaming the streets.
The girl had a terrible experience and could not stand the pointing of the neighbors, so she tried to commit suicide many times.
Later, after hearing about Chen Xu's experience, he became a little more enlightened, but he was still very afraid of people and was timid.
"What a pretty girl, but unfortunately... Alas, she is a silly girl without parents. Her life is even more miserable than that of my Yan'er." Yan'er's mother, Aunt Tofu, looked at the fair-skinned Shen Xu and couldn't help but sigh with tears in her eyes.
No, auntie, are you polite?
Shen Xu looked up at the stack of papers on the table, then looked at the mother and daughter who were sitting in the yard and refused to leave, feeling a little anxious.
She is also busy copying books to make money.
"When will your Mr. Song come back? Will his uncle Song come?"
Shen Xu replied, "I'll be back after my shift at the yamen. It'll be soon. Uncle Song will come over occasionally."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Captain Song and Constable Song will catch those bad guys as soon as possible."
She glanced at Yan'er, who was sitting on the stool hugging her knees in a daze, and grabbed her hand to comfort her, "Don't be sad, it's not your fault that this happened."
"Don't touch me!" Yan'er subconsciously retracted her hand, hugged her arms tightly, and curled up into a ball.
"Miss Yan'er, you haven't done anything wrong. You shouldn't feel ashamed. The ones who should feel ashamed are those evil people who were born human but acted like beasts. They are the insensitive people who slandered you with unwarranted malice!"
She stared at Shen Xu blankly, and replied tearfully, "But, I have lost my reputation, so I can only seek death."
