191. Misfortune often happens from self-righteousness
"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door, and Shen Xuan, who was leaning at the desk, came to his senses from his deep thoughts, "Sister should have brought the key..." With a trace of doubt, Shen Xuan opened the door and was frightened by the strange visitor at the door. One jump.
"Xiao Xuan, it's me." The narrow corridor couldn't accommodate two people at the same time. Jiang Yan's call made the short Shen Xuan notice Jiang Yan carrying Shen Mo on his back on the side stairs behind the strange-shaped old man, "This This is Mr. Lin. He is...the boss of the place where I work."
"Hello, girl." Lin was leaning on a cane, with a kind smile on his long face. "Hello, Grandpa Lin." Shen Xuan politely bent down to say hello to the big mouse, as if after a lot of tangle, he still said hello. The two of them entered the door. Their eyes were fixed on Jiang Yan who was carrying Shen Mo on his back, full of doubts.
"She was so tired that she fell asleep halfway." Sensing Shen Xuan's worry, Jiang Yan comforted, "I have done a basic check-up, there is no big problem, I just need some rest."
"Yeah." Shen Xuan's hanging heart seemed to finally be relieved. He led Jiang Yan to Shen Mo's room - this room may have been decorated like an ordinary girl's room, and those left on the table The vague mark is the proof. But now there is no decoration in the room. It is as simple as the room rented by Jiang Yan. Only the reflected flowers on the bed still indicate that the owner of this room once had a happy time.
Putting Shen Mo down, Jiang Yan checked Shen Mo's pulse again, and there was nothing abnormal. He patted Shen Xuan, who was still accompanying him, and asked her to stay in the room to change her sister's clothes. He then closed the door and came to the room. living room.
Lin Zheng stood in front of the row and determined his origin. He didn't know what he thought of. The shadow in the sunset was stained with vicissitudes. Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, he turned back to look at Jiang Yan, "I and the owner of this family ," he looked at the memorial tablet and closed his eyes in pain, "Shen Yicheng, and Ms. Wei, we had many friendships. It's a pity..."
Having said this, he fell into a long silence, and his final sigh was long and heavy.
"His little girl has grown so big. I only dared to take a look at her from a distance before. I didn't even know how tall she was."
Finally, the sound of the door opening and closing and Shen Xuan's gentle footsteps came to the living room. Lin wiped the corners of his eyes and put on the kind expression he had when he entered. "Brother Jiang Yan, I covered my sister with a towel. She... snored a little louder. Get up. Thank you."
"No, there's nothing to thank you for. Your sister..." Jiang Yan wanted to make it clearer about Shen Mo's appointment, but he thought of what Lin Na said when Shen Mo came to find him, and felt guilty again.
"Did your sister come back last night? Did she say anything to you?"
"No, she just came back this morning and didn't say anything." It seemed that Shen Xuan was also worried about his sister's abnormal behavior. Looking back on the situation this morning, he said in a worried voice, "She only said that I would do whatever she asked me to do. What, don’t wait for her to eat. Before she went out, she even... hugged me, told me everything would be fine, and asked me to put my favorite things in the iron box."
In this way, Shen Mo didn't mention anything related to last night - no matter what imagination or opinion she had, she never said it out loud. In Shen Xuan's view, she was still an ordinary tenant.
"Really...that's good." Jiang Yan, who felt at a loss for words, could only squeeze out these few words. While his eyes were averting, he saw a few pieces of paper placed on the dining table.
"Xiao Xuan, are these...the test papers I asked you to take?" Jiang Yan picked up one of them, and his neat handwriting filled the answer box Jiang Yan drew on the manuscript paper.
At this point, Shen Xuan looked away a little embarrassed: "Yes, it was all completed within the time limit according to Brother Jiang's request. It's just that I'm not confident in the answer, so I still want Brother Jiang to help me approve it."
Lin walked slowly to the table, "This word is so beautiful." The two of them watched Jiang Yan flipping through the test papers, using the pen on the table to mark the answers one by one. Finally, they put the test papers into a pile and sighed. Take a breath:
"You did it, Xiaoxuan."
Seeing the smile blooming on the face of the short-haired little girl, Jiang Yan felt happy, but he couldn't say any more compliments. He could only look up at the clock and said, "Take good care of your sister, I still have some things to do. I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back tonight, so if you want to lock the door, just lock it.”
Shen Xuan was holding the test paper happily and didn't pay much attention to the concealment in Jiang Yan's words. Before going out, Jiang Yanlin took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stuffed the cash still in his arms into the place where Shen Xuan asked her to collect things. In that iron box.
It wasn't until he walked out of the small building that Lin opened his mouth and asked: "What, you don't plan to go back?" "...Hmm." Jiang Yan didn't want the old man to see his current expression, so he walked faster. Lin was there Seeing this boy's virtue later, he blew his beard and glared, put his crutch behind him, straightened his back and quickly caught up with Jiang Yan, stopped him with one hand, and glared at him.
"...What else do you have to do?"
Lin pointed at Jiang Yan and was about to speak, when he curled up again like a deflated rubber ball, "Ouch, oh, oh, my old waist..." The crutches fell to the ground with a clang, and the painful groan was in contrast to his previous actions. It was so big that Jiang Yan could only hold the big mouse with his head full of black lines, picked up his crutch and handed it to the hand that wasn't holding his waist. But Lin didn't mean to be forgiving at all, and held it while holding it. Jiang Yan, who bent down to support him, started talking on the other side: "Look at you like this, do you still look a little bit like a man?"
With an angry expression on his face, he cursed in a thick Longmen accent: "Be a mahing!"
"You don't look much more manly than me now." Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and whispered: "In front of the two of them, I don't have much of a man. Maybe it will be better for them if I am not here or don't want to show up. "
Ignoring Lin, Jiang Yan continued on by himself: "You know, I hate the feeling of conscience being condemned, and I am afraid of meeting people who encounter difficulties in life. No one can understand the pain of others, and I will feel powerless because of my weakness. I feel regret for helping others. This is why I am happy and accustomed to be the one who makes jokes, because maybe laughter is the salvation that everyone can obtain.
"Unfortunately, I went over the line this time. Is it a coincidence? Maybe it's really just a coincidence. They tried so hard to become better, but I still couldn't restrain themselves and gave them the help I could. I wanted to Can they receive appropriate warmth from strangers? Oh, have you seen what they look like now? My sister fell on the bed tired, and Shen Xuan may not have noticed, but isn't that Shen Mo preparing to escape? "
"Why are you making such preparations? Tell me, Lin -" Jiang Yan did not look at the silent old man, "I know you must be a very capable person, and I am very grateful for the help you planned to give me last night. But...
When I think about everything together, I realize more and more that my behavior is pushing them into a pit of fire."
"...Why do you think so?"
"Your daughter, she has had contact with Shen Mo - Shen Mo cannot know that there is any threat secretly watching her, so it can only be a tip from Miss Lin Yuxia.
"And since you came today to take me out of the Guards Bureau, I am even more sure that you know who I am or what my purpose is. And now, there is only one thing that I need to know."
The two did not discuss this topic again. Jiang Yan asked: "Where are you going now?"
"...Afa's bar."
So the black-haired young man helped the strange-looking old man forward.
really.
Yesterday's search failed to catch the fat man who fell on the ground. But now, he may be about to take action.
PS: There will be another chapter later to make up for yesterday’s update. Don’t wait, it may be later. I will notify you in the group if it is early.
