Some of the villagers couldn't believe it, but it was true that Zhang Tiansheng was tied up, and the blood on his head was also real.
Faced with the villagers' questions, Xu Xingchen frowned and did not answer.
"I tied it up."
Jun Haoyue stood out to block everyone's view and confessed.
The villagers backed off. The village chief had specifically instructed all villagers to treat Jun Haoyue well. Now Jun Haoyue tied up Aunt Wang's son. How could this be judged?
"I don't know why Xu Xiaoniang's cousin wanted to kidnap Zhang Tiansheng?"
A villager asked the question cautiously.
"Zhang Tiansheng sneaked into my house at night and wanted to attack my cousin. I couldn't bear to see him bullying my cousin, so I tied him up." Jun Haoyue said it calmly. Although his words were not as emotional as Aunt Wang and her son, they gave people a more convincing feeling.
Zhang Tiansheng's eyes widened. This man was lying with his eyes open. He tied him up after knocking him unconscious!
"You!... I was knocked unconscious after entering the house. When I woke up, I saw him tying me up." He defended loudly to the villagers.
Jun Haoyue's face was filled with sorrow and pain. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect my cousin well. She was almost bullied by Zhang Tiansheng. I'm useless."
"Why didn't you say anything useless when you pushed me to the ground!" Zhang Tiansheng pointed at him and cursed.
Jun Haoyue slapped away his hand that was about to poke his face with an indifferent expression, "I'm just a scholar, how could I have the ability to pin you to the ground?"
"You put..."
"Auntie Fat is here!" someone in the village shouted.
The villagers made way for her, and Aunt Fat panted slightly as she moved sideways past them. She came in front of the group and started firing her machine gun.
"You guys are here in the middle of the night. I just laid down and someone complained to my old man. He twisted his waist. Are you trying to torture him to death?"
No one dared to breathe. Although Aunt Pang usually smiled at everyone, she could be very dangerous when she got angry. Even the village chief had to stay away from her.
Even though Auntie Pang was angry, she was reasonable. She glanced around and chose the 'gentlemanly' Jun Haoyue. "Cousin Haoyue, tell me, what's going on?"
Jun Haoyue performed a scholar's ceremony and told the whole story of how Zhang Tiansheng's sneak attack in the middle of the night failed and Aunt Wang came to cause trouble.
After hearing this, Auntie Pang clapped her hands and said to Auntie Wang, "So that person this afternoon was you!"
"Aunt Fat, what are you talking about? What happened to me this afternoon?" Aunt Wang felt guilty because it was indeed Aunt Fat who came to Xu Xingchen's house in the afternoon to express her gratitude.
"Hey, you went to the east of the village today, carrying a basket this big." Aunt Fat gestured the size of the basket with her hands.
Aunt Wang tried to put on a smile, but her face turned out to be uglier than crying: "What are you talking about? I didn't go to the east of the village today."
Aunt Fat tilted her head and recalled for a moment, then said with certainty, "I'm not mistaken, that person is you."
Xu Xingchen raised the corner of his lips, not smiling, "Aunt Wang, did you encounter a wild boar in the west of the village?"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Aunt Wang held her forehead, staggered back a few steps, and pretended to faint.
As soon as Auntie Fatty's testimony came out, the villagers realized they had been deceived by Auntie Wang and immediately complained: "Auntie Fatty, Auntie Wang is asking us to tear down the gate of Xu Xiaoniang's house today, saying that she locked up Zhang Tiansheng. Auntie Wang, you are going too far!"
"Yes! We came here because we heard you said Zhang Tiansheng met with an accident."
"Aunt Wang, this isn't the first or second time you've told me this. Miss Xu even told me the story of the boy who cried wolf before."
Aunt Wang, who had pretended to faint to avoid danger, actually fainted.
Zhang Tiansheng immediately supported him and screamed for help in fear.
Auntie Pang looked at the mother and son with some disdain and said to the villagers, "Bring them to my house and let my old man have a good talk with him. My old man's waist was injured unjustly."
The villagers came forward in groups of two or three, one holding Zhang Tiansheng, and two of them lifted Aunt Wang up one at the head and one at the tail, and they left the yard with a "hey yo" sound.
Xu Xingchen went to close the gate and found that it was just as the villagers said: "Aunt Wang demolished her gate." She looked at the shaky gate with some pain.
Repairing the door costs money...
A white, slender hand stretched out from behind her and, following her strength, straightened the door.
"I'll fix it tomorrow."
"kindness..."
......
Lying on the bed, Xu Xingchen tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Suddenly, the scene in Jun Haoyue's bamboo house flashed through his mind.
Jun Haoyue was still lying on a thin summer blanket. She turned her head and looked at the lonely little bamboo house in the backyard in the moonlight.
It must be freezing outside...
She murmured softly, not even daring to mention the subject, for fear that someone would hear her.
After staring for a while, she jumped up, opened the locker in her slippers, took out a thick quilt, and sneaked into the backyard like a thief.
She hesitated again, hugging the quilt in front of the bamboo house. It was so late, everyone must have gone to bed, right? Otherwise, tomorrow?
While he was struggling, bursts of coughing were heard from the bamboo house. Xu Xingchen's hesitation disappeared and he was left with only worry. He didn't care whether the other party was asleep or not, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Jun Haoyue? Are you asleep?"
Inside the dim bamboo house, a handsome figure sat on the bed. When he heard the worried inquiries from outside the door, he lowered his hand covering his lips and revealed a cunning smile.
Then he dropped his smile and said in a sleepy voice, "Not yet. Wait a minute."
Xu Xingchen was holding the quilt outside the door, shaking his legs anxiously. After a while, he heard footsteps inside the house.
“Squeak—”
Jun Haoyue's face was hidden behind the door, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Xingchen? What's wrong?"
Xu Xingchen's eyes swept across his face, and then she frowned. It was so cold and this man was wearing such thin clothes. No wonder he was coughing.
She stuffed the thick quilt in her hand into his arms, her tone a little stiff: "I was tidying up the quilts and found that this one couldn't fit anymore, so it's just right for you to use."
The lower half of Jun Haoyue's face was hidden behind the quilt in his arms, and Xu Xingchen did not see his happy smile.
"Okay, thank you Stardust."
The usually gentle voice was now hoarse, inexplicably alluring, and Xu Xingchen felt his ears itchy.
"Well...tomorrow, I'm thinking of going to town to sell malt sugar."
"Okay, let's go together."
"Yeah, yeah." She raised her hand to smooth her hair in a concealing manner, and the tips of her small ears were red and charming.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep." After saying that, he left Jun Haoyue with his back until she closed the door with a bang.
Jun Haoyue finally revealed his full face, and his smile was a bit too much.
If Xu Xingchen saw this, he would definitely punch him in anger.
The next day.
Xu Xingchen first went to the laboratory, prepared some tools, wrapped the malt sugar and put it into a square box. When everything was ready, he went to the backyard to call for help.
Standing in front of the bamboo house, she called out twice, but no one answered. She stretched out her hand and the door opened. After a little hesitation, she pushed the door open.
The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as yesterday, except for the addition of a potted plant on the small table in the middle.
