Chen Chong was helping to chop firewood and bundle it up when he heard a girl's voice above him.
He paused for a moment, didn't look up, and then continued tying up the firewood as if he hadn't heard.
The girl was a little embarrassed when he ignored her, but she didn't leave. She quickly composed herself and continued to ask, "Ah Chong, aren't you going with the villagers now? Those people don't seem to be people we know from around here. Who are they? Are you going with them?"
Chen Chong seemed not to hear him, and continued his work without stopping. After tying it up, he simply hoisted it onto his shoulder and prepared to walk back.
He didn't even glance at the girl, acting as if she didn't exist!
Seeing that Chen Chong was indeed leaving, the girl became angry and stepped forward to stop him, saying angrily, "Didn't you hear me talking to you? Why didn't you answer me?"
Chen Chong still didn't look at the girl, but instead tilted his head to look at the sky, snorted coldly, and said with a very mocking expression, "Who are you to me? Do we know each other? Why should I answer your questions? If you have nothing to do, don't block my way!"
Hearing this, the girl got angry. She probably couldn't stand Chen Chong's attitude. He was arrogant, cold-hearted, and went too far!
She ran into her on the street, and after seeing her clearly, she kindly came over to greet her, but the person who gave her the cold shoulder actually did that! What kind of person is that!
Good deeds go unrewarded!
Chen Chong didn't want to get entangled with her, so he walked around her without the slightest hesitation or delay!
The girl was so angry that she bit her lip, and tears were about to flow. She felt that she had been greatly humiliated.
"What's there to be so proud of! So what if you're going to be with someone better? You'll still only be doing hard labor! I doubt you'll even have anything to eat. I tried to be nice and say a few words to you, and you treated me so rudely! It seems my parents were right, you're just not worth it!"
Seeing Chen Chong about to walk away, the girl grew angrier and angrier. Unable to contain her anger, she shouted at Chen Chong's retreating figure.
Chen Chong didn't want to pay any attention; he just wanted to leave as quickly as possible, so he didn't stop walking at all. But when he heard what the person behind him said, he was momentarily distracted, his steps didn't keep up with his thoughts, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, I reacted in time, steadied myself, and moved the firewood on my shoulder to a more comfortable position.
He still didn't turn around or say a word, but his taut jawline and cold eyes were enough to show that he was very angry, but he was desperately holding back.
Oh!
Very good!
I knew she looked down on him. If she didn't think he was worth it, why did she even bother to come over? What was she pretending for?
He doesn't need her pity. If she's not worth it, he should stay far away. Why bother coming over and pretending to be close to her?
Chen Chong closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, then suddenly opened them and continued walking back.
No matter how much the people behind him shouted, he did not stop walking.
Xiao Wu witnessed this scene and told Su Nanxi when he returned.
Su Nanxi was stunned for a moment. Could it be that she had run into an old acquaintance?
You can tell there's a story behind it just by listening to it!
Xiao Wu analyzed the situation himself, "It's possible that the woman was Chen Chong's betrothed, but something happened later, and the woman disliked the man and didn't want her daughter to marry him, so she broke off the engagement. But to protect their daughter's reputation, the woman's parents deliberately belittled and even slandered the man, and the woman believed them. It probably got quite embarrassing afterwards, so they stopped seeing each other. Chen Chong seems to hate that woman quite a bit, he won't even look at her! The things that woman said were also quite nasty!"
It was clear that Xiao Wu also disliked that woman; his expression was full of contempt and mockery as he spoke.
Su Nanxi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone else. After all, this has nothing to do with us, and we shouldn't interfere. Just pretend you don't know, but keep an eye on Chen Chong."
Xiao Wu nodded. It really wasn't his business. He was just a little angry for Chen Chong, but since his master said to pretend he didn't know, he wouldn't care.
Mind your own business and you'll live a long and healthy life!
After Xiao Wu left, Su Nanxi pretended not to know anything and secretly observed Chen Chong. She found that he seemed to be fine and was doing what he was doing as usual.
She was also a little unsure whether this meant they didn't take it seriously at all, or if they were hiding it well.
Either way, it's not easy!
Since Chen Chong hasn't responded, let's see what happens.
If the other person is really fine, her meddling might ruin things.
Because they had found a place to stay early, they had plenty of time to get things done. Before it was even completely dark, they started eating porridge.
The four dogs obediently guarded the perimeter. Su Nanxi gave each of them a bowl and told them to eat outside and not to go into the crowd.
There are children in the crowd. It might frighten the baby. If you're not careful, you might knock over someone's bowl, which would be terrible!
The four dogs have gotten used to it; they all know where to eat and are very well-behaved.
Anyway, their owner won't mistreat them, so they don't need to try to get attention; they can just stay up with them at night.
They help keep watch at night, and they all get a big piece of meat to eat. After getting the meat, they stay outside and don't cause any trouble!
Therefore, the four dogs didn't have a high profile. They were all low-key and quietly did their own thing because they knew that they would be rewarded if they did well, and if they didn't do well, they might go hungry!
So Su Nanxi doesn't have to worry about them much, and sometimes she doesn't even think about them!
It was only when it was time to eat that they brought their own bowls over, and that's when she remembered there were still a few big dogs!
Thank goodness they can't talk, otherwise she would definitely be cursed to death by the dogs!
Feeling guilty, I always give them extra treats.
After they ate well, they worked even harder at their jobs.
With the dogs around, other people were somewhat wary and dared not approach or directly snatch the item.
Su Nanxi was enjoying her drink when she suddenly heard a dog barking incessantly. She paused for a moment, wondering if someone had broken in.
Without thinking twice, I immediately got up and went to check.
There will always be those who are blind to the danger and try to steal their food; this time might be no exception.
Mo Qinghe immediately followed. Xiao Wu and Xiao Han saw this and immediately got up, looked around, but did not follow him out.
There has to be someone left to watch.
The wolfhound barked fiercely, and Su Nanxi heard a girl scream. She quickened her pace.
When I went over to take a look, I saw a girl being chased by a wolfhound!
Su Nanxi snarled the wolfhound, which stopped but did not immediately retreat; it waited for Su Nanxi to come over.
Su Nanxi walked over, looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground, didn't recognize her, but she looked quite young.
"My wolfhounds don't chase and bite people without reason. Why are you approaching our base?"
Su Nanxi asked directly.
The girl's face was covered in dust, she was trembling, and her eyes were filled with terror.
"Fine, don't tell us then! But I'm warning you, don't come any closer to us!"
"I'm looking for Ah Chong!"
