"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you are here! I have been looking for you for a long time!"
Shen Zhu walked over while talking, and next to her was the young man in white. Her face was flushed, and it seemed that she must have had a very happy time before this.
Su Zhi thought that this sister-in-law hadn't met her family for such a long time, yet she was hanging out with such a man, and her face was still as rosy as a blooming flower. It seemed that she liked this man very much. She didn't know who this man was, whether she had known him before, or whether she met him by chance at this lantern festival.
Shen Zian looked at Shen Zhu with a bad expression on his face, and said, "Just now, when there were too many people, there was chaos again. It's been so long, and you still haven't seen the fifth brother and the others? Do you know this young man?"
When Su Zhi heard what Shen Zian said, she thought that it was Shen Zian who had handed Shen Zhu to the care of this man, and Shen Zian didn't even know this man, but Shen Zhu could still chat with this man so happily. She really admired Shen Zhu in her heart. She thought that it was amazing that a girl could stay with a man in such an occasion without being afraid. It seemed that she wanted to catch a rich husband, and meeting such a man was her wish!
Shen Zhu finally put away the smile on his face and said, "I have been looking for you guys, but I just can't find you. I am also very anxious. Fortunately, this young man has been with me all the time. He helped me deal with those bad guys before. He is really a good man. Although I don't know him, as soon as I told him where I lived, he knew who I was. It turns out that he knows the young man."
"Cousin, why are you here?"
The young man in white was about to introduce himself, but he saw Liang Fu standing inside. Liang Fu was standing inside and didn't see the young man in white, but when she saw him, she smiled.
"Cousin, of course I am here to see the lanterns. I also met the benefactor who saved my mother and me that day. It was Brother Shen."
Liang Fu pointed at Shen Zian and said to the young man in white.
The young man in white quickly bowed to Shen Zian and said, "It turned out that it was you who saved my aunt and cousin. Qian Guang would like to thank you very much."
Su Zhi smiled in her heart, thinking that this person was the son of the wealthy family, Qian Guang. I wonder if there is another one called Qian Jin. Or another Qian Duoduo? But she changed her mind and couldn't laugh anymore. This person knew Shen Ziju, and now he was related to Shen Zhu. Then her husband's reputation as a benefactor could not be avoided. After all, Liang Fu was the cousin of the Qian family.
Shen Zian bowed and said, "No, it's just a small favor. Didn't you also save my little sister? Let's just call it a day. Don't mention this anymore."
Qian Guang smiled and said, "Fourth Brother Shen is such a straightforward person. I never thought that today would be such a coincidence. Not only did I meet Zi Ju's sister, I also met Zi Ju's fourth brother. And Fourth Brother Shen is also the benefactor of my cousin. This is such a coincidence."
Liang Fu also smiled and said, "It is indeed a coincidence."
Shen Zian was silent, Su Zhi was silent too, she thought to herself that she had always wanted Shen Zian to avoid Miss Liang, but he didn't. This kind of coincidence was really not what she wanted to see, she looked at the smiling Qian Guang and Liang Fu in front of her, and the blushing Shen Zhu, she felt that Shen Zhu's encounter with Qian Guang was not a good thing, she and Shen Zian seemed to have stepped into darkness when they met Liang Fu, she hoped that this was just her fantasy caused by too much.
Because Shen Zhu was there, Shen Zian couldn't leave with Su Zhi. They had to accompany Shen Zhu to find the Shen family before leaving. So they walked together, looking for Shen Ziju while watching the lanterns. This time, they didn't look for too long. Within a quarter of an hour, they met Shen Ziju.
As soon as Shen Ziju saw Shen Zhu and discovered that she was with Shen Zian and the others, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Guang and Shen Ziju greeted each other. Shen Ziju heard that it was Qian Guang who helped Shen Zhu, and thanked Qian Guang again. This time, his parents did not come out. He brought Shen Zhu out to see the lanterns. If he lost his sister, and let her get into trouble, he would have a hard time explaining it.
"Zi Ju, since we've met, please come to my house for a drink. Fourth Brother Shen, you and Fourth Sister-in-law should also go. Aunt has been talking about your life-saving grace these days. If she sees you there, she will definitely be very happy."
Qian Guang said enthusiastically that he seemed very generous and not annoying.
Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi didn't want to go, but Qian Guang and Liang Fu kept inviting them, and Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu also tried to persuade them. Finally, the two of them had to say that they came here in a ox cart and would have to take a lot of people back with them, so they declined their invitations.
"Brother Shen, Sister Zhao, since you have something to do today, my mother and I will definitely come to your house to thank you someday."
Liang Fu said, her eyes fell from Shen Zi'an's face to Su Zhi's face, with a very sincere look. Even Su Zhi began to doubt that she was really judging others by her own mean-spirited mind. She thought that maybe this lady was just a grateful person, and only thought about repaying the favor and had never thought about anything else.
"My husband, I never thought you would really save someone who is so grateful. I was wondering if she would marry you if you were still married."
Su Zhi watched Liang Fu and the others disappear, took Shen Zian's hand and said to him, let's see how Shen Zian reacts. Seeing that Shen Zian's expression did not change, she smiled happily. She liked the way her husband remained calm in front of other beauties, because he only showed tenderness to her. This different treatment made her feel precious and happy.
Shen Zian looked at her and said, "Even if we weren't married, I wouldn't like her."
Shen Zian was telling the truth. He married Zhao Xiaomei because it was the engagement his mother had left for him. Even if he didn't like her, he would still take the responsibility. But later he fell in love with his wife because Su Zhi really made him feel at home. He felt that if that person wasn't Su Zhi, no matter how good the woman was, he wouldn't have that feeling of home, and he wouldn't have a warm feeling just by looking at a person. So, even if a rich lady wanted to marry him, he wouldn't marry her.
Su Zhi nodded. She thought to herself that she was really overthinking it. Miss Liang was a rich lady. She didn't know what the situation was when she came to the Qian family's house this time. Even if she came to seek refuge in the Qian family, she came from a good family and was both talented and beautiful. There was no way she would marry a farmer, let alone a married farmer. So she really didn't need to think too much about it. Because she regarded Shen Zian as a treasure, she thought that others would come to snatch him away. However, she should also think that in this era, Liang Fu and Shen Zian were simply impossible.
Thinking of this, Su Zhi's mood immediately improved.
"My husband, I'm hungry."
Su Zhi said to Shen Zian in a coquettish tone, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Shen Zian liked Su Zhi calling him husband, and when he heard her say she was hungry, he immediately took her to find a place to eat.
"There seems to be a soup cake shop in front. It's delicious. Let's go there to eat."
Shen Zian held Su Zhi's hand and talked as they walked. When they passed through a small alley, Su Zhi suddenly saw a man holding a child in his arms. The way he held the child was very strange. She also seemed to hear a very dull sound, like a grunting sound made by someone with his mouth covered.
"Zi'an, there was a strange man in the alley just now. He was holding a little kid. The man wasn't dressed well, but the kid seemed to be wearing silk clothes."
Su Zhi immediately told Shen Zian that she felt like she had been kidnapped. She thought so because she had watched Dream of the Red Chamber many times before. Yinglian in the dream was kidnapped in this way. She felt very sorry for Yinglian. In addition, Shen Zian also said that sometimes children and even beautiful women were kidnapped at the Lantern Festival, so she naturally thought of this. As long as there was this possibility, she would not hide it. She hated this kind of kidnapping the most because it changed a person's life!
Shen Zian stopped immediately after hearing this. He looked at the alley and wanted to go inside, but when he saw Su Zhi, he felt embarrassed. Just now, he was just helping Shen Zhu. When he left Su Zhi for a while, she was pushed away. Now this was even more dangerous. How could he leave her? How could he let her take risks with him?
Su Zhi saw Shen Zian looking at her and immediately understood what he was thinking. She pulled him and ran into the alley, saying, "I'm fine. It's more important to see if the kid has been kidnapped!"
However, before entering the alley, Su Zhi put the two lanterns aside, then picked up two sticks placed beside the alley, gave one to Shen Zian and took one herself.
"Zi'an, you have to be careful."
Su Zhi was not worried about herself, but about Shen Zian. She wanted to save people, but she didn't want to get involved with Shen Zian. This mentality was really contradictory. In the end, she still thought of saving people first. She had the Spring Water Fairy Lotus in her hand, so she estimated that there would be no danger. Besides, Shen Zian also knew how to fight and was very strong.
Shen Zian nodded and ran in front. His voice was very soft, just like a cat, and Su Zhi's footsteps were even lighter. She followed behind him and the two entered the alley.
The alley was not very long. After walking for a while inside, it turned to both sides. Shen Zian relied on his intuition gained from years of hunting and moved forward in one direction. Su Zhi followed behind him.
After walking for a while, I saw a small door inside, which seemed to be a back door.
Shen Zian asked Su Zhi to stop. He put down the stick, stepped back two steps, jumped up, and put his hands on the wall. Then Shen Zian stepped on the wall and slowly walked forward a few steps, so that he could see the scene in the yard. (
