Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang squatted by the small pond and fished.
Sheng Mingfu told her about his plan the night before and asked her to stay at home, but as a person, you always have a lot of thoughts in your mind, so you feel a little uneasy.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Sheng Minglang specially played with her and told her stories.
Some gust of wind brought dark clouds, and ripples appeared on the water. Yu Huan and Sheng Minglang put away their fishing rods and walked back. As soon as they reached the eaves, it started to rain heavily.
The water droplets dripping down the tiles rolled onto the leaves. Yu Huan brushed the leaves aside and listened to the whispers of two maids who had just come running out of the rain:
"A lot of people died outside today."
"It must have been done by our Lord Governor."
Why does that tone sound a bit proud...
A sudden heavy rain washed the earth and washed away all the remaining bright red bloodstains on the ground.
The rain gathered into lines and flowed to lower places. When it encountered a depression, it rushed into it, washing away the dead branches and leaves as well as the confidence of the various forces that had stirred up trouble in the past.
Clean and brand new.
In Rongcheng, no one can compete with Sheng Mingfu anymore. Even if they repent and unite now, they will not be able to make a difference.
What's more, Sheng Mingfu would never give them this opportunity.
?
A car drove in, and Yu Huan heard the sound and walked out.
Seeing Sheng Mingfu get out of the car, the adjutant wanted to hold an umbrella for him, but he waved him away and walked in in the rain.
The ferocity in him had not completely subsided, and there was still a faint smell of blood. He originally wanted to let him stand in the rain for a while to dissipate the blood, for fear of scaring her.
But she stood under the eaves waiting for him.
He had no choice but to walk over quickly.
Yu Huan didn't ask him why he had to walk back in the rain. He just looked at his clothes and hair, exclaimed, "Ouch!" and said, "They're all wet!"
Then he gave him a dry towel and urged him to take off his clothes and dry his hair.
When the evidence was right in front of them and there was no doubt about it, the group of people still refused to admit it and instead shouted at them. Sheng Mingfu became murderous, and the bodies were scattered all over the ground.
The hum of gunfire continued in his ears, and raindrops streamed down his face, and he had a vague feeling that it was their blood. A small puddle had accumulated on the ground, and when he looked there, he thought the reflection of the water was a demon.
Is it because you killed someone that you are tormented by your conscience?
No, in this world, killing is a very common thing. Moreover, they have committed many evil things and deserve to die.
He just felt that she was so innocent and pure that she might be afraid of him.
He didn't want her to be scared.
However, all his worries stopped the moment she handed him the towel. Sheng Mingfu took it with trembling fingertips, but just kept it in his hand and asked her jokingly: "Are you scared?"
"Of course." Yu Huan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
A string became taut again.
"Minglang and I went fishing, but we didn't catch a single fish. I was so anxious and irritable. Oh, I was so worried that something had happened to you. Fortunately, you came back early, otherwise I would have been worried to death."
"Are you hurt? Let me see."
She took his hand and looked up and down to see if there was any damage to his clothes.
Sheng Mingfu stared at her, watching the warm yellow light of the floor lamp shining on her face, still unable to dispel the tension between her brows.
Yu Huan was suddenly hugged by him tightly, as if they could feel each other's heartbeats.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Yu Huan was surprised and guessed randomly, "Are you injured somewhere and don't want me to see it? You want to use this trick to get away with it!"
"Cheng Yuhuan." He called her full name in this life in a low voice, his breath hot, "I love you."
Tsk.
Fall in love again.
The system rolls in space.
The temperature on Yu Huan's face seemed to be rising. Sheng Mingfu touched her face and suddenly curled the corners of his lips.
?
The days that followed passed a little faster.
The leaves on the branches turn green and then yellow, fall off in the bleak autumn wind, and then sprout again in the spring when all things come back to life.
In the blink of an eye, it is summer again. The leaves on the trees are rustling and stretching out in the breeze. The bright and hot sunlight falls to the ground through the gaps between the branches. It is a beautiful scene again.
During this period, Sheng Minglang grew taller and taller like a young sapling.
When they first met, he was not even as tall as Yu Huan's waist, but after a few years, he had reached Yu Huan's elbow.
As he grew up, his face became less childish and the lines became clearer, making him look a bit like Sheng Mingfu when he was a child.
He was sent to school and was not as lively as before. However, when he talked to people close to him occasionally, he could still find the cunning and mischievousness of his childhood.
Over a long period of time, Lin He gradually accepted the attitude of her son-in-law and comforted herself by saying that although he killed people without blinking an eye outside, he did not kill at home.
Sheng Mingfu remains unchanged.
Yu Huan is different. He does whatever he wants and likes, and he has fun and lives happily.
She enjoys the world and life seriously, takes herself seriously, and someone loves her seriously.
?
The racecourse held a horse racing meeting with many professional equestrians participating. Yu Huan mingled among them and finally won a participation award, a small medal.
Yu Huan gave the medal to Sheng Mingfu who came to watch her competition, but she felt it was a little small and was embarrassed to take it out.
Sheng Mingfu placed it in his palm, examined it for a while, and praised: "That's amazing! You've only been learning for a short time, and you've already won a prize."
"Isn't that so?" Yu Huan was no longer embarrassed and felt from the bottom of his heart that he was indeed quite capable.
The two of them clearly took the car back together. Yu Huan didn't know how Sheng Mingfu spread the news. Anyway, when they got home, a banquet was already set up at home.
Sheng Minglang heard that his sister-in-law had won a prize at the horse race, so he left school and came over without even doing his homework. The cook at home had cooked a delicious meal, and Lin He had also cleaned up the mess.
Everyone took turns admiring the small medal. Yu Huan almost thought he had won some incredible prize.
I don’t know how Sheng Mingfu got the word out, but everyone thinks that this medal is a great honor.
Sheng Minglang also complained: "This Jockey Club is so stingy, they only give one medal."
…
In fact, the first place winner will receive a prize of 30,000 yuan and a good horse.
It’s just that Yu Huan is not.
Anyway, the celebration banquet was quite enjoyable.
?
After dinner, the Sheng family prepared to rest, but the adjutant knocked on the door, hurriedly found Sheng Mingfu, and told him some news.
It seems like something went wrong.
That night, Sheng Mingfu came back very late.
This continued for the next few days.
The people also felt the impending danger. The once bustling streets became empty overnight. Not many people went out, and some even moved their families to other places for refuge.
The situation is tense.
These days, Sheng Minglang's family didn't allow him to go to school, so he came to find Yu Huan.
"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
Yu Huan was also worried, holding his face and said: "I want to know too."
As soon as Sheng Mingfu came back, he saw two people, one big and one small, with gloomy faces, like moldy mushrooms. He couldn't help but laugh, and his originally tense mood relaxed for a moment.
