Chapter 93(1/2)

On the way to the town, Jiang Huaiqing called her into the carriage for various reasons, either inviting her to eat pastries or calling her in to shelter from the rain.

In fact, although there is a place to shelter the rain above the head of the carriage, there is no barrier in front of it. The raindrops blew onto the body with the cold wind, and half of Tongshan's body was already wet.

Fortunately, she brought the spare clothes, Tong Shan wiped the raindrops on her face, hugged the bag wrapped in oil paper tightly in her arms, ignoring the persuasion of the people behind her.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Tong Shan jumped out of the car, thanked him and planned to go in. As soon as he turned around, he was called by the man.

“Ashan…”

Tong Shan turned around and looked at him in confusion. He no longer had the ignorant feelings he expected, nor did he deliberately alienate or indifference, but just looked at him like an ordinary person.

Jiang Huaiqing raised his thin lips and couldn't speak for a while. After a long time, he forced a soft smile: "It's okay, you go and do it."

Tong Shan hesitated for a while, nodded at him, turned around and walked into the restaurant.

The elegant and gentle man stood alone in the rain with an oil umbrella and looked a little lonely. His eyes were fixedly looking at the woman's figure gradually distant, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and a feeling of confusion was wandering in his heart.

It seemed that her heart was no longer on him.

It was probably because of the climate, it was raining and cold, and there were not many people in the restaurant, and Zhao Yu was also dozing off while lying down there without any trouble at this time.

"Tongshan, you are here." The shopkeeper who clicked the account book in front of the desk looked up at her.

"Yes." Tong Shan nodded, patted the water droplets outside the oil paper bag, walked to the table and said with apologies: "The shopkeeper had something to do at home yesterday, so he didn't come here, and he didn't have time to tell you in advance..."

"It's okay, I know." The shopkeeper smiled indifferently, and glanced at her wet clothes: "It's so heavy that it's okay if you don't come today, and the restaurant is not busy anyway."

It rained so that not many people in the restaurant came in the past two days.

But everyone came, and it was useless to say anything: "Do you have to dry clothes?"

"Take it." Tong Shan hurriedly wrapped the oil paper bag.

"Then go change your clothes first and then go to work hard."

"Yeah, okay."

Tong Shan responded, opened the curtain and entered the kitchen. Because there were really fewer people coming to the restaurant today, more than half less than usual, and most of them came to eat buns. The second floor even opened in one day and didn’t even open it.

Today is also the most leisurely day since Tongshan came. She and Zhao Yu were sitting on the second floor by the window and enjoying the rain outside. There was no room for a stall on the street, only passers-by with oil umbrellas occasionally.

"I'm so i'm going to doze off." Zhao Yu yawned repeatedly, and the green and black moments seemed to have not slept in a few days.

"Have you ever had this situation before?"

"Yes, it will be like this every year during this rainy season, so idle that you don't even have to hit fly."

"so......"

Tong Shan supported his head and looked out the window. With the drizzle of rain, he seemed to see the figure of a young man standing on the street like a green bamboo. He slowly turned his head, raised his eyes to look at her, and then pursed his lips and smiled.

Somehow, it was only half a day before Tong Shan missed him a little.

Seeing someone coming in downstairs, Tong Shan quickly got up and went downstairs to meet him. After someone took off his straw raincoat, it turned out to be Ye Kaixia's cousin Li Le'an.

Li Lean took the raindrops on his body and glanced at her coldly, but ignored her. He walked directly over the woman and put the straw raincoat in the corner of the restaurant.

The shopkeeper in front of the table looked up and seemed to be a little happy to see the visitor: "Detective Li, do you have to patrol the streets on such a rainy day?"

"Yes." The woman with a rough face nodded lightly and sat down near the door.

"There are few people today, and there are some seats on the second floor. Constable Li, please go up to the second floor and sit down. I won't accept more of you." The shopkeeper was rarely generous.

Since the shopkeeper said this, Li Lean would not refuse. After thanking him, he stood up with his sword and headed to the second floor.

Zhao Yu, who was also sitting on the second floor, was already asleep. Helplessly, Tong Shan could only come to entertain her. It seemed that she had never seen this person since she got married with Ye Changqiu. She almost stayed in the kitchen on weekdays, and she didn't know whether anyone had come to the restaurant.

Li Lean did not make things difficult for her. She ordered two dishes casually, and did not say anything more with a gloomy face.

While serving the good food, Tongshan was about to go downstairs, the woman called her and hesitated for a while. Tongshan turned around, Li Lean raised his chin, pointed to the position opposite him, and signaled her to sit down.

Tong Shan pursed his lips, and although he was a little confused, he still sat opposite her silently.

Li Lean poured her a glass of wine and asked casually: "How are you doing?"

Thinking she was asking herself, Tong Shan looked a little weird: "Yes, very good..."

"I mean cousin Changqiu." The woman raised her eyes and glanced at her.

"... Changqiu is also very good." Tong Shan, who was stupid, was choked and didn't know how to say it better, so he could only answer in a polite way.

"Hmph" Li Lean snorted coldly, drank the wine in the glass and placed the wine glass heavily on the table, staring at her with a long look: "It's better to be a good life. If I let me know that you are not good to him, I will definitely not let you go!"

When she learned that the two of them were getting married, she also went to find Ye Changqiu. She thought he was forced, but at that time he looked completely unhappy. Li Lean was not stupid and combined all the previous things and had already guessed a little.

But I was still a little unwilling to accept it. In her opinion, Changqiu's cousin should marry a better person.

Tong Shan's clear eyes looked at her without any timidity and made a serious promise: "Since Changqiu has married me, I will never let him down."

The woman's eyes were firm, which made people feel inexplicably at ease. Li Lean looked at her for a while before picking up the wine glass and snorting coldly: "It's better to do it if you can say it."

She stroked Huaidou with one hand, took out a piece of round jade from it and threw it at Tongshan. Tongshan hurriedly raised her hand to catch it. Her jade body was round and full, with her body temperature that had not completely dissipated. Although she didn't understand the market, it should not be cheap.

"this......"

"As I gave you a wedding gift. I couldn't take time to go through the day of your wedding, so that's just a supplement." In fact, she hadn't been able to think about it that day, and she had been hungover overnight. Now she was thinking about it, and she felt much more relaxed.

Tong Shan was not pretentious either, so he accepted it after thanking him.

Li Lean raised her glass and signaled her to drink with her. Tong Shan wanted to refuse, but subconsciously felt that the glass of wine should not be refused. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the glass, closed her eyes and drank it all.

This wine is not as sweet and mellow as sweet wine. It is much stronger than sweet wine. As soon as I swallowed it, I felt a sensation in my throat. Tong Shan took several breaths before he recovered.

At this time, the shopkeeper walked up and called her.

Tong Shan turned his head and looked: "What's wrong with the shopkeeper?"

"Now the rain is getting lighter, you go back first. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will rain harder later and the road will be even harder to walk. Anyway, the restaurant is not busy, so you can go back first."

After looking out the window, the rain was indeed much less than this morning. Tong Shan nodded without delaying it. He spoke to Li Le'an and left the restaurant.

In front of the window on the second floor of the restaurant, one person stood and the other sat silently drinking tea. The shopkeeper looked at the woman in a hurry on the street outside the window and sighed: "Tongshan is a good child."

"Tsk, good boy?" Li Lean glanced at her faintly: "What the shopkeeper said, you look younger than her."

No, her face looks like a man and her figure is shorter than an ordinary woman. From a distance, she really looks like a young man who is not as good as a hairpin.

The shopkeeper smiled and touched his face. He could see the slight fine lines at the corners of his eyes: "I am much bigger than her, I just look like a childish face."

Li Lean sniffed lightly, looked out the window and didn't say anything anymore.

......

When Tongshan returned to the village, the rain stopped for a short time. She put away the oil umbrella and rushed home quickly. At this time, Guan was cooking lunch. Tongshan went back to her room to change clothes but did not see Ye Changqiu.

When she changed her clothes and came out, she searched around inside and outside the house but couldn't see anyone.

"Dad, where has Changqiu been?" I had no choice but to ask Guan, who had been at home.

"I haven't seen him this morning, I must have gone back to Ye's house."

Tong Shan frowned when he heard this: "Have you never looked for it?"

Guan, who was busy cooking, was angry: "What are you looking for! I don't know how busy I am after a day. The vegetables in the field were flooded and I had to dig a channel to drain water. Now I have to cook again, so where can I find time to find him!"

When Tongshan looked to the vegetable field outside the yard, some of the vegetable leaves had been washed away by heavy rain and fell into the mud, mixed with the turbid mud and water. The shallow drainage channel was almost covered with the soil and disappeared.

"Dad, I'll go find Changqiu first and help you when I come back." After that, I left the yard.

Guan was washing the fine rice and muttered dissatisfiedly: "This child, I knew to look for Ye Changqiu as soon as I came back. You have forgotten who raised you..."

Tong Shan came to the door of Ye's house and said that she seemed to have not been here for many days. She raised her hand and knocked on the door. Ye Kaixia was very happy to see the person coming.

"You are here Tongshan, come in." Ye Kaixia opened the courtyard gate wide and said to her.

Tong Shan nodded at her and looked at the yard, but he still didn't see the person. Ye Kaixia, who was beside him, knew what she was going to come when she looked at her appearance, curled her lips and pointed to the boy's bedroom.

"He's inside."

Could it be that she was very obvious? Tong Shan scratched his neck awkwardly, walked to the bedroom where she was pointing to, raised his hand and knocked it twice, and there was silence inside. She knocked it twice again, but there was still no sound in the room.

Tong Shan looked back at the woman in the yard in confusion.

Ye Kaixia shrugged and affirmed that he was inside.

Could it be that he fell asleep? Tongshan knocked on the door and called out, "Changqiu?"

The room was quiet for a while, and then the rustling sound of clothes rubbing was vaguely heard, and then it became silent again.

After confirming that the person was inside, Tongshan breathed a sigh of relief: "Changqiu, lunch is almost done, you can go back with me."

She didn't think too much about it. After all, the two families were already close, and Ye Changqiu would occasionally come back to the Ye family, but she just came back to get things on weekdays and rarely stayed for so long.

Tong Shan, who could not get the echo, was a little worried. He pushed the door and found that he had easily pushed it open. He looked into the bedroom. The person who had never responded to her was sitting on the bed, holding a book in his hand and was reading.

Ye Changqiu, who was silent, made Tong Shan frown. He was about to go in and call him, but the moment he stepped into the bedroom, the boy's cold eyes pierced at her like spikes, and his voice seemed to be the first melting cold snow without any warmth.

"go out."

He said.

Tong Shan was stunned and finally realized something was wrong with him: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'll let you go out." Ye Changqiu closed the book, and he paused every word, and each word seemed to have ice residue.
