He still looked completely cynical and thought Sai Jinhua was just joking.
Is it possible that she can really come to find her and have a child with her?
"..."
Su Lingyue next to her was speechless.
Seeing Lu Tianlong look so heartless, I really want to slap him to death.
Didn't this guy realize that when Sai Jinhua said these words just now, her expression and eyes were obviously different from before?
What if she is serious...
Lu Tianlong next to him really didn't notice this.
Although he was still in Sai Jinhua's small yard, he was already thinking about other things.
"Sister Jinhua, let's not go inside yet. How about we go see Xiang Xiaoying?"
Lu Tianlong thought for a moment and spoke slowly.
"You want to see Sakura?"
Sai Jinhua's expression was no longer as natural as before, and she looked at Lu Tianlong with a strange look.
"Why, is she still blaming me?"
Lu Tianlong sighed lightly and asked, knowing that since Xiang Xiaoying was still in Xianlong Village, Sai Jinhua would definitely be in contact with her.
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."
A wry smile appeared on Sai Jinhua's face, and she thought about what to say before speaking.
"Tianlong, we all know what Sakura was like before: kind, cheerful, and lively."
"But this time when she came back, she seemed like a completely different person."
"In addition to having a smile on my face when I'm with the children, other times..."
"It's very pitiful to always sit alone in silence, either crying or in a daze."
Sai Jinhua said here, and the image of Xiang Xiaoying sitting alone in the corner of the classroom and crying appeared in Lu Tianlong's mind.
I really feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
"Then where does she live now?"
"Live in the school dormitory."
"After the school was renovated last time, there were a few empty houses. Sakura tidied them up and moved in."
"I have approached her many times and asked her to come and live with me, but this girl is stubborn and never agrees."
"You also know that if she can't overcome this psychological hurdle on her own, I can't force her."
A trace of helplessness and distress flashed across Sai Jinhua's face.
When Xiang Xiaoying came to the village to teach in the past, she always lived in her home, and the two of them could talk quite well, just like sisters.
But now, according to Sai Jinhua's words, Xiang Xiaoying is also alienated from her.
"Tianlong."
"To be fair, we can't entirely blame Sakura for this matter."
"No matter how bad Xiang Shaoyu is, he is still Xiaoying's brother, and she just watched helplessly..."
Sai Jinhua sighed and did not continue.
If Xiang Shaoyu bullied Su Lingyue before, she knew everything about it.
Including Xiang Shaoyu who was abolished when Lu Tianlong appeared later, Sai Jinhua also participated in almost the whole process.
"I know, how about we go see her now?"
Lu Tianlong nodded and asked.
"That's... okay, but you have to be mentally prepared, she may not treat you well."
Sai Jinhua hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Well? So, she once mentioned me to you?"
Lu Tianlong said curiously as he followed Sai Jinhua and Su Lingyue out.
"No."
"She never mentioned you."
"On the other hand, I mentioned you to her twice to see if I could ease your relationship."
"But every time I mention you, she always remains silent, and her eyes look weird. I think... that must be murderous intent."
Sai Jinhua said as she led Lu Tianlong and Su Lingyue out of the yard.
Walk along the alley towards the school on the hillside.
"murderous look……"
Lu Tianlong nodded.
As we walked along, we just reached the entrance of the alley when we saw the leopard Li Jinbao running towards us quickly.
He is now the security manager of Xianlong Mountain Tourism Company. He is dressed in camouflage uniform. He has been patrolling the mountain just now. When he heard the news that Lu Tianlong and Su Lingyue were coming, he ran over quickly.
After a few simple greetings, he also joined the team and went to find Xiang Xiaoying with Lu Tianlong and the others.
"It's noon on the day of hoeing, and sweat drips from the weeds on the soil. Who would have thought that every grain of rice on the plate is hard work."
"Classmates, read it with me."
In a newly repainted teacher's room.
The slightly thin Xiang Xiaoying stood on the podium. In front of her were more than twenty children from Xianlong Village, ranging from seven to eight and ten years old.
In the past, Xianlong Mountain was poor, and there were almost no students in the village school. After they could almost write their own names, they would drop out of school and help the family hunt in the mountains or dig herbs.
Conditions have improved in the past few months, and the wages and profits from the tourism company are enough to allow the villagers of Xianlong Village to live a good life.
No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education, and no matter how miserable you are, you can't suffer for your children. So now the number of children attending this school is several times more than before.
"It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil..."
The children's tender voices sounded. Occasionally, someone could not keep up, read too fast or too slowly, or made mistakes. This appearance made Xiang Xiaoying's lips unconsciously bring up a smile.
Sudden.
She subconsciously glanced out the window and saw four figures in the distance slowly walking towards her.
Xiang Xiaoying's body trembled suddenly, as if her whole body had been struck by lightning.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes were extremely complicated, and she stared hard at the person outside who she was once very familiar with but now hates so much, Lu Tianlong!
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
A timid voice sounded.
A little boy of six or seven years old with a runny nose in the front row raised his hands and stood up, asking cautiously.
"Teacher, it's okay, you continue."
Only then did Xiang Xiaoying realize that she had lost her composure. She raised her head slightly and blinked hard. The tears that had appeared in the corners of her eyes quickly disappeared.
"Students, get out of class ends in twenty minutes."
"Let's read it a few more times and try to memorize it."
Xiang Xiaoying took a deep breath, turned her eyes back from the window, and focused on the children in front of her again.
"At noon on the day of hoeing..."
Outside, four people, Lu Tianlong, Su Lingyue, Sai Jinhua and Li Jinbao, had arrived outside the classroom.
"Sakura, Sakura?"
Sai Jinhua glanced at Lu Tianlong, then walked forward and called several times through the window.
Xiang Xiaoying inside did not respond, and was concentrating on leading the students to recite poems.
"Sakura?"
Sai Jinhua thought she didn't hear her, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and knock on the classroom glass.
"Sister Jinhua, no need."
Later, Lu Tianlong calmly stopped her.
"You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep."
"It seems that she is not ready to see me yet. Let's go and come back tomorrow."
Lu Tianlong's expression was calm.
The situation was better than he expected. He originally thought that Xiang Xiaoying would rush out and fight him desperately.
"For pretending to be asleep or not, that Xiang Shaoyu is entirely to blame for himself. You are not to blame at all."
"It's wrong for her, Xiang Xiaoying, to blame you for this matter."
"Boss, just wait, I'll get her out!"
Li Jinbao next to him couldn't stand this anger. In his eyes, Lu Tianlong was a god. Now that the god was being despised, he naturally wanted to help.
Especially since he had really suffered from Xiang Shaoyu and almost died in his hands, he naturally hated him deeply.
As he spoke, he rushed into the classroom.
"If one day I do evil and get killed, what will you do?"
Lu Tianlong waved his hand, looked at Li Jinbao and asked.
"What should I do? I'll avenge you. No matter you are a good guy or a bad guy, you are still my boss."
Li Jinbao was stunned and replied subconsciously.
As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately understood what Lu Tianlong meant.
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
In the face of friendship and reason, Li Jinbao chose to stand on the side of friendship.
Then why should Xiang Xiaoying choose reason in the face of family affection and reason?
Lu Tianlong turned around and walked down the mountain. Sai Jinhua and Li Jinbao behind him looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and then followed with Su Lingyue.
Several people went directly back to Sai Jinhua's home.
Her sister, who runs the farmhouse with her, is not here. She said she was on a business trip and went to the big city to inspect famous farmhouses.
We need to understand the preferences of city dwellers who come here to travel, and then we can expand this farmhouse.
From this point of view, the Sai Jinhua sisters are still very discerning.
At noon, they had some snacks at a farmhouse, and then Lu Tianlong and Su Lingyue followed Li Jinbao up to Xianlong Mountain.
In any case, it is not easy for the Xianlong Mountain project to develop until now, and it will continue to expand in the future. Lu Tianlong and Su Lingyue must understand the specific situation.
If there are any problems, they should be corrected promptly.
This turn takes half a day.
By the time the three people came down from the mountain, it was already evening.
Standing on the hillside and looking into the village, every household has bright lights and smoke, which is completely different from a few months ago.
Lu Tianlong still felt a sense of accomplishment.
In the farmhouse.
Sai Jinhua specializes in cooking and personally prepares a table full of dishes.
There is no big fish or meat, just some game and wild vegetables from Xianlong Mountain, an authentic farmhouse flavor.
"Come on, come on, it's so easy for you to come back today, let's get drunk and then rest!"
Sai Jinhua was very generous. She brought out several jars of her own wine and poured a large bowl for Lu Tianlong, Su Lingyue, Li Jinbao and herself.
Then he picked it up and drank it in one gulp without saying a word.
"Haha, Sister Jinhua is still so cheerful, I like it!"
Lu Tianlong and others did not refuse, including Su Lingyue, who did not want to ruin such a good atmosphere. They also imitated Sai Jinhua and killed her in one go.
"Let's drink openly today. I've already told those guys that no one can come to my mother's house to cause trouble tonight."
"Otherwise, I will block the door of their house with a kitchen knife tomorrow."
Sai Jinhua filled the bowls for several more people, while laughing and saying, naturally referring to other villagers in Xianlong Village.
There were many people milling around at the door just now. It seemed they wanted to invite Lu Tianlong to their home for dinner, but no one dared to come in.
"Dong dong."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
