Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 80 How to repay kindness (2)

"That's all?" Shen Huai asked.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Su Ya laughed when she heard this, "Do you want me to lynch him, Mr. Shen?"

"If you want, there's nothing wrong with it." Shen Huai replied calmly.

Su Ya looked at him in surprise. If the meaning of this sentence were to be put in Sun Po's mouth, it should be "It would not be a pity to kill such an ungrateful dog!" But in the world, Qingliu was especially famous. There was a strange meaning in Shen Hanlin's mouth, which he admired so much.

"Master Shen, have you been hurt so badly by that Zhao Qing that you are afraid that you won't be able to fight General Cao later, so you come to my place to have fun?" She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm just doing this. You were betrayed, but you are being hunted, don't even think about inducing me to break the law!"

"Just being betrayed?" Shen Huai's face darkened, and he repeated in a sinister tone, emphasizing the word "but" particularly hard, "How many lives do you have to be betrayed and implicated over and over again?"

Su Ya was confused by his sudden change of attitude. This man just kept talking. Why was he so angry all of a sudden?

"How can you repay kindness with kindness? If you have someone you really want to protect, you'd better remember: repay kindness with kindness and repay kindness with integrity, so that you won't always be bullied."

This man was moody today. Su Ya didn't want to argue with him, so she nodded repeatedly, "Tit for tooth, remember."

Shen Huai snorted, but then said: "You just said, 'It's something that happened here', and then you want to give your property to Xue Jun - what's the matter here?"

Did she say this just now? Su Ya began to wonder if she was drowsy after not sleeping all night.

"Su Ya," Shen Huai sighed softly, "I asked you once before, what's on your mind, why do you want to risk a night trip? Before... you didn't dare to say it before, but I want to ask you again today, Do you need me to help you?"

His tone was soft but solemn, even full of sincerity, and each word struck Su Ya's ears like an axe: "Do you need me to help you?" Such short words, but in the past two or three years, no one has ever spoken. Said it to her.

Even though Grandma Sun had always known what she was doing, she never asked about it.

It's as if you have been walking alone on a mountain ridge with strong winds for a long time, and suddenly you turn to a wide place. You don't want to stop there, but in the end you can't help but turn your nose red because of the gentle wind in one place.

Su Ya couldn't help but quietly tighten her hand on the quilt, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Shen, you may have heard wrongly. I only have pain in my legs now, and what I'm most worried about is that I will miss work."

She didn't want to say.

Shen Huai was a little disappointed, but he felt that it was expected. He turned his head to look at the skylight outside, stood up, moved his hand slightly in his sleeve, and a dagger about seven or eight inches long appeared in his palm.

He put the dagger's hilt forward and placed it next to Su Ya's hand, "I just heard you crying so aggrievedly. Is it possible that even your mother doesn't know about the difficult things hidden in your heart? Well, you don't want to talk about it today, so I'll just leave it for now. Don’t ask. Hold this dagger for self-defense."

"I don't..." Su Ya instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Take it, just think of it as thanks for not letting me drown in the river," Shen Huai smiled mockingly, "Seeing as you don't have any weapons at your disposal, if you are blocked at the bridge again next time, you may not be able to do it." It happens that there are still five people who are cowardly. It is not convenient to borrow someone else's belt when the weather is warm. It is faster to just use the knife... If the government comes to trouble you, I will take care of it."

Su Ya opened her mouth slightly and was speechless. What kind of bridge, what kind of belt?

Did he see everything that happened on the Heman Bridge in the twelfth lunar month?

Before she could figure it out, Shen Huai moved his hand to the end of the bed.

Su Ya had no time to think anymore and asked, "What are you going to do again?"

"Let me look at your legs."

Su Ya couldn't help but look at her legs, which were buried under the quilt. What did she think?

"Why should I show it to you?" She immediately held down the corner of the quilt vigilantly, "Uncle Liu has seen it, please stand far away."

Shen Huai turned to look at her with interest, "Su Ya, I thought that our friendship has been extraordinary since we have shared hardships several times, and we have a distance that allows us to express our concern..."

"Not at all!" Su Ya said decisively: "Master Shen, please quickly think about the etiquette and rules in the sages' books!"

"I have soaked in the river and stayed on the beam. I have long forgotten the rules and so on." Shen Huai said with a smile: "Or, do you want to trade again? That's okay. I can also show you my injuries. .”

As he spoke, he actually made a show of taking off his cloak.

Su Ya looked at him warily, with hidden expectations in her heart - Could this brave fellow have seen through the beauty that she had secretly admired, and took the opportunity to undress and take off his clothes? If someone saw it, wouldn't she be blamed? ?If Mr. Yan sees it, will his other leg be broken? If...

I don't know if her eyes were too entangled, but Shen Huai's fingers stopped untying his cloak, and Su Ya's eyes moved up, looking at him inquiringly.

"The time is not right, take it off later."

Boom! Su Ya realized it later and her face was instantly flushed.

Shen Huai helped her straighten the quilt with a sullen smile, took a step back and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Xu Yuan and Gao Jun are staying here. They don't show up, and Sun Po is still there, so it's a safe bet." It’s safe, just take good care of yourself.”

"What about you?"

"I'm in the government office, no one will touch me again at this time, don't worry."

After Shen Huai finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation. As soon as he reached the door of the hall, Su Ya softly shouted from behind: "Master Shen!"

He turned around and saw Su Ya leaning forward slightly while holding on to the edge of the bed, and asked, "If there is any follow-up to the gunpowder incident in Zhou's house, can you tell me?"

Shen Huai's eyes flashed, but Su Ya met his gaze without retreating and waited seriously.

"good."

After he finished speaking simply, he left the main room.

Su Ya pursed her lips and maintained her previous posture. She slowly leaned her body against the head of the bed until his movements could no longer be heard in the courtyard.

The quilt had just been carefully folded by Shen Huai into four folds, and was placed behind her in a regular and comfortable manner. It was soft and made people no longer suspended in the air.

The dagger was sunk into the rough quilt, exuding a cold and hard luster, somewhat like the way he looked when he was silent, with a hint of defiance.

Su Ya stretched out her hand, lightly pressed her slender fingers on the simple and plain scabbard, and pulled out the dagger. The familiar sharp edge seemed to be the one he used to cut the deck board on the leaky ship last night.

My swollen calf began to throb in pain again, but the warmth of a hand was firmly protecting my leg. Someone said steadily: "Don't be afraid."

His appearance appeared in front of her eyes, and when she thought of his words when he presented the dagger, she couldn't help but recall her abruptness when they first met. At that time, he pretended to be a weak scholar, and was very cooperative in her abduction and intimidation. Later, she always suspected that this person had something. It was fun to put on a show, but it turned out that he had already recognized her by then.

This dagger cuts iron like clay, but he gave it to her so easily. Is there any meaning in it?

However, even if we don’t mention the disparity in family background and status, how worthy is she, a person who doesn’t know how long she will live?

Su Ya slowly sheathed the dagger again. The person who abused gunpowder had appeared, and clues to the mystery of her past life were gradually revealed. Now she was embarrassed by Qiu Nianyun, forced by Cao Qingyuan, and was blocked on the beach. She was in a state of embarrassment and tried her best.

I'm afraid I can't protect my mother, so how can I have the energy to talk about the long term?
