Chapter 30: Snow Melts
Shen Caisheng held Yuan Lingling in his arms and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
On the bridge was a thin woman with long hair flying in the wind, looking extremely scary.
In fact, Yuan Lingling knew that it was definitely a person and not a ghost, but she still felt a little scared.
"Who is that?" she asked subconsciously, but Shen Caisheng might not know him.
Sure enough, Shen Caisheng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but there are no more than five young women in this village except Yang Xiaoxi. We can find them out tomorrow."
"Aren't you going to catch up later?" Yuan Lingling was puzzled.
Shen Caisheng hugged her tighter and said, "No." But he didn't explain the reason.
After he moved like this, Yuan Lingling realized that the posture between them was too ambiguous.
Yuan Lingling raised her eyes and glanced at him. This Chen Caisheng's embrace made her feel safe. What's more, he was still her man. What's wrong with a hug?
She would never admit to him that she was afraid.
When she heard Shen Caisheng say he didn't want to follow, she was actually relieved. If Shen Caisheng followed him, she might not be able to catch up, and if she was discovered by him, it would definitely be her fault. But if Shen Caisheng left her here alone, she might be scared to death.
She asked casually, "Why not follow?"
Shen Caisheng noticed her reaction, was silent for a moment, and said, "It's easy to alert the enemy."
Yuan Lingling said "oh", and the two stopped talking and carefully observed the woman below.
The woman stood on the bridge motionless. If the water under the bridge had not been flowing so slowly, Yuan Lingling would have even thought she wanted to jump into the river.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I saw the woman jump into the water.
There was a thud, and I couldn't tell whether it was the sound of a heavy object falling into the water or the sound of a heavy object colliding with a rock.
"She...she she she..." Yuan Lingling couldn't speak clearly.
Shen Caisheng directly put the flashlight into Yuan Lingling's hand and said, "Wait for me here."
Now Yuan Lingling no longer cared about her fear of the dark, and quickly pushed Shen Caisheng to let him go down.
An hour later, the two of them took the woman to the hospital.
The woman had a scratched head and two broken bones on her body. Her life was not in danger, but she was definitely very cold.
"Is it cold?"
Shen Caisheng also went into the water to rescue someone just now. The water level was up to his legs. But it was winter and he was soaked in icy water. He hadn't been able to change into clean clothes for such a long time. He must have been frozen to death.
Yuan Lingling was really worried about his chronic cold legs or something like that, which would be very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Yuan Lingling was so worried about him, Shen Caisheng rubbed her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go back quickly, it's too late."
If he wasn't wet, he would have carried Yuan Lingling away.
He shouldn't have brought Yuan Lingling with him today. Not only would she have to see that scene, but she would also have been frozen, which would have been terrible.
But today, Yuan Lingling took the initiative to go out with him alone, which was rare. How could he refuse?
Shen Caisheng was annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He kept asking Yuan Lingling to slide carefully.
After being reminded again, Yuan Lingling couldn't help but said, "I am pregnant, not stupid. You don't have to remind me all the time. I will be very careful."
Shen Caisheng pursed his lips.
"I don't mean to say you're wrong." Seeing his serious face, Yuan Lingling couldn't help but explain, "Let's walk faster, don't let your legs get frozen."
After saying that, she met Shen Caisheng's direct gaze, felt a little embarrassed, and turned her head away.
"Can we not get a divorce?" Shen Caisheng suddenly brought up the past. He was a man who would take advantage of others.
Yuan Lingling glared at him and refused to let go. "I'll think about it." Then she let go of Shen Caisheng's hand and walked in front of him.
Shen Caisheng looked at his released arm helplessly, then smiled and chased after him again.
They went back and took a nap. Yuan Lingling slept until noon the next day and was woken up by Shen Caisheng who came into the room and called her.
She opened her eyes in confusion and saw that it was Shen Caisheng who turned over and turned his back to her.
"Wake up, Lingling, get up first and go to bed later."
Yuan Lingling put her arms over her eyes, but her eyes were still closed. "What's wrong? I don't want to eat. Let's eat later." Shen Caisheng was too virtuous, and it was a little too much for a lazy woman like her.
"No, the police are here. Please get up first. They want to know more about you."
"Police comrade?" Yuan Lingling took a few seconds to react before she sat up abruptly. "Police comrade, what are you doing here?" He couldn't be here because of Shen Caisheng.
"I came to ask about what happened last night."
Hearing this, Yuan Lingling breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly put on the clothes that Shen Caisheng handed over, and suddenly stopped, "What should I say later?"
The two of them, late at night, went out for a walk in the wilderness for no reason?
Shen Caisheng whispered: "Just tell the truth."
Since he said so, he must have a way to deal with it. Although Yuan Lingling herself found it very strange, she did not go there alone, so she would definitely not say nonsense and make Shen Caisheng suspected.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw two policemen in military coats sitting in the main room, with a bowl of hot water in front of them.
Yuan Lingling walked over to greet them a little awkwardly and sat down at the table.
"Are you Yuan Lingling?"
Yuan Lingling nodded.
"Why did you suddenly go to such a remote place last night..."
"Because we want to see the place where Lai Si fell into the water."
"Who are you, Lai Si?"
“…”
Yuan Lingling told the other party everything she knew and what happened yesterday. The other party did not deliberately guide her, and Yuan Lingling gradually became less nervous.
"Then do you know Comrade Niu Shengnan?"
"Niu Shengnan? What does this have to do with her?" Yuan Lingling was subconsciously surprised.
The two police officers looked at each other and asked, "Do you know her? How did you know her?"
Yuan Lingling shook her head. "I don't know her. I heard Yang Xiaoxi mention her."
"What did she say?"
…
After the two public security comrades finished their questioning, Yuan Lingling was still a little confused. It turned out that the woman last night was Niu Shengnan.
Shen Caisheng sent the person out and came back with breakfast from the kitchen.
Yuan Lingling found it a little funny to see Shen Caisheng thinking about feeding her all the time. She took an egg, looked at it and rolled it on the table, and the eggshell separated from the egg white easily.
She asked: "So, the person who attacked Lai Si was Niu Shengnan?"
"Don't rule out this possibility." Shen Caisheng handed Yuan Lingling a bowl of soy milk.
The freshly ground soy milk had a strong soy aroma and the taste of peanuts. Yuan Lingling gulped down a few sips, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Will they believe what we just said? I don't believe that they would go to the death scene of a man they didn't know in the middle of the night."
She still feels that she was out of her mind yesterday, otherwise why would she urge Shen Caisheng to go to that place? The most important thing is that it was such a cold day and she actually went there so late.
"It's okay, they will believe it. You don't have to worry about it. I will take care of it."
Shen Caisheng said this with such confidence that Yuan Lingling couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him. What did this mean?
"Do you know anyone in there?"
Shen Caisheng smiled and said, "I guess so."
If so, then it is definitely the case.
"You can't do something illegal just because you think someone is protecting you." Yuan Lingling took a bite of the egg and muttered softly.
Shen Caisheng's smile froze for a moment, then he smiled even brighter, "What are you thinking about, are you... are you concerned about me?"
Yuan Lingling glared at him and said, "No, I'm just spurring you on."
"Then you should push me more."
Yuan Lingling continued eating and ignored him. The more they got along, the more she found that this man was becoming more and more frivolous. Although he still looked like a stranger who wanted to stay away from her on the surface, it was much more comfortable to get along with him this way.
It's possible that he did evil things because he had someone behind him, so he was so unscrupulous. She must keep an eye on him.
no.
Has she decided not to divorce him?
Comrade Yuan Lingling, you really have a weak will!
Shen Caisheng watched Yuan Lingling eating and biting the eggs as if they were her enemy, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Yuan Lingling looked over and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Didn't I say I would smile at you often in the future?"
Yuan Lingling deliberately made a fierce expression, "Who wants to see you smile? It's not serious."
The more she said this, the more Shen Caisheng smiled.
After dinner, in order to prevent those blind people from causing trouble again, Shen Caisheng went to the tofu shop.
Yuan Lingling didn't think much about it. She was lazy and didn't want to go with them, so she just basked in the sun in the yard by herself.
There has been more sunshine recently, so I guess spring is coming soon.
Unexpectedly, she didn't enjoy it for long. Just after Shen Caisheng left, Xie Guangan knocked on the gate.
Yuan Lingling was somewhat surprised by his visit. Thinking of Shen Caisheng's previous groundless suspicion, she became more defensive towards him and had no intention of letting him in.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"Let's talk inside." Xie Guangan had no intention of avoiding suspicion with her.
Yuan Lingling thought about her previous interactions with Xie Guangan. He seemed to be a very polite person. Besides, they were in the yard anyway.
Having made up her mind, she did not refuse and stepped aside to let Xie Guangan enter the yard.
After he went in, Yuan Lingling not only did not close the door, but left both doors wide open.
Xie Guangan just glanced at the gate and didn't say anything. He just asked, "I heard that the police came to your house this morning. Did something happen?"
"It's okay." It was not surprising that such a thing spread on this street. Yuan Lingling did not doubt it, but their relationship was not close enough for them to talk about these things in detail.
Xie Guangan seemed not to notice her defensiveness and asked again: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hearing this, Yuan Lingling frowned and looked at him, asking doubtfully, "Have you ever done anything to let me down?"
Otherwise, why would he be so nice to me?
He had said before that he was willing to help her leave, but now that he saw that she seemed to be in trouble, he came over immediately.
Xie Guangan still had that dead expression on his face and didn't answer directly, "I just want to help you."
"Why do you..." Yuan Lingling wanted to ask, but she felt that knowing too much might not be a good thing. After thinking about it, she asked a question she had always wanted to ask.
"Before you said you could help me leave. I want to ask, how can you avoid Shen Caisheng and send me away? Aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble for you?"
Hearing this question, Xie Guangan looked a little strange.
"You still want to leave?" he asked.
Yuan Lingling was a little confused by his attitude. Didn’t he previously feel that he was forced to marry Shen Caisheng?
Didn’t he decide that he wasn’t having a good time in the Shen family?
It's totally incomprehensible.
"What? Were you kidding me earlier?"
