Earlier, when Shen Jiu took Ah Jiu out, the teacup overturned, and Ah Jiu showed fear in front of Shen Jiu.
Shen Jiu comforted her and sent her back to the Warlord's Mansion.
After that, Shen Jiu was meditating. He wanted to take Ajiu out to play to ease Ajiu's mood.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Jiu decided to take Ajiu to a place, Xitang.
Shen Jiu told Ajiu his idea, and Ajiu agreed.
The sky came up, the light mist was floating and sinking, and everything sank in the clear air, very quiet.
Shen Jiu wanted to take Ah Jiu out, so naturally he arrived at the Warlord's Mansion early, and the car stopped at the door.
Shen Jiu waited patiently in the living room of the Warlord's Mansion. After a while, Ah Jiu walked out.
A Jiu saw Shen Jiu, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Jiu also smiled: "Ajiu, let's go."
Ajiu nodded.
The two got into the car, and the car started slowly and drove away from the Overseer's Mansion.
The black car faded away, hidden in the floating fog, and its outline became blurred.
The car drove forward, because it was still early and there were not many pedestrians in the alley.
The noisy streets on weekdays seemed to be asleep at this time, and the noises stopped.
There was silence outside, and the car was extremely silent.
A Jiu looked out the window with a faint expectation in his eyes.
She remembered what Shen Jiu said that day, I will take you to a place where you will like it.
Ah Jiu smiled, she believed Shen Jiu.
After the car drove for more than two hours, Xitang arrived.
Shen Jiu got out of the car first, went to the back, and opened the door. A Jiu got out of the car and clean air poured up.
When he first arrived in a strange place, Ajiu was a little nervous.
Shen Jiu saw Ah Jiu's expression, he leaned over slightly, and his voice was extremely gentle: "A Jiu, why don't you lead me."
Shen Jiu said while pointing at his sleeve. A Jiu can pull his sleeves, and he leads A Jiu forward.
A Jiu's heart loosened.
Ah Jiu's hand was originally hanging on her side. Hearing Shen Jiu's words, she stretched out her hand.
The hand slowly raised and moved upward, and finally, it touched Shen Jiu's sleeve.
Shen Jiu noticed a faint feeling of falling from the sleeves, he looked down, his hand was extremely thin, and his skin was almost transparent.
Shen Jiu smiled and looked at Ah Jiu: "Let's go."
The two of them walked forward, and Ajiu's gaze swept around.
It's very quiet all around, and the hustle and bustle of Shanghai Beach seem to be very remote here.
The air was a little humid, and it fell on Ajiu's face, sending a cool touch.
A Jiu rarely goes out. Seeing that the houses here are all built by the water, although she is a little afraid of water, she still has curiosity in her eyes.
While walking, Shen Jiu explained: "This is Xitang, and the houses are built on the water..."
"Everyone can go by boat..."
Shen Jiu's voice fell in the quiet air and softened even more.
Ah Jiu listened very carefully, and sometimes she would stop and take a look when she saw something novel.
Shen Jiu was looking at it, and he pulled the corner of his mouth. It seemed that Ah Jiu liked it very much.
There is a path between the house and the water.
The more people walked forward, the more people slowly increased, and the sound became louder. There is an alley in front, and the environment is a little noisier than here.
A Jiu was afraid of life, her hand was tight.
Shen Jiu noticed that the feeling of falling over the sleeves was a bit heavier, and he knew that Ah Jiu was going to the crowd, and he was a little scared.
Shen Jiu stopped and looked at Ah Jiu with a very soft expression: "A Jiu, don't be afraid, I am here."
Shen Jiu paused, then spoke again: "If you are afraid, take my hand tight."
Ajiu nodded.
She knew that she couldn't always refuse to contact others, she always had to take that step.
Ah Jiu tightened Shen Jiu's sleeves, and the two continued to walk forward.
The streets are full of fireworks, and there are sounds from time to time in the ears, which is very lively.
There are not many people in Xitang, they are very simple, away from the hustle and bustle here, and people's minds are also very simple.
Even so, Shen Jiu still paid attention to the surrounding movement and did not relax his vigilance.
Although Ajiu was scared, her eyes fell on her surroundings, and the curiosity in her eyes grew a little bit stronger.
It is very different from Shanghai, and she always feels that she hasn't seen enough.
Shen Jiu could feel A Jiu's mood relax.
Shen Jiu bought Gorgon Cake for A Jiu. Gorgon Cake is a specialty of Xitang, soft and waxy, so Shen Jiu bought it for A Jiu to taste.
The freshly baked pastries are still warm, dispelling a bit of coolness.
A Jiu took a few sips, looked at Shen Jiu, and made a series of gestures.
taste good.
Shen Jiu bought some snacks for A Jiu, and A Jiu thought it tasted good.
The daylight gradually rose a few minutes, and it was almost noon. Shen Jiu took Ah Jiu into a restaurant.
Shen Jiu specially picked a secluded corner, this place is sparsely populated, and Ah Jiu will not feel uncomfortable.
The two sat down, Shen Jiu's gaze fell on Ah Jiu, and he whispered, "A Jiu, this is my hometown."
Shen Jiu was born in Xitang since he was a child, and later his relatives died, so he left Xitang and went to Shanghai.
This is the first time he mentioned his hometown to Ajiu.
Ah Jiu was taken aback.
Ah Jiu knew that Shen Jiu's relatives had passed away. He didn't mention his hometown because he was afraid of remembering those painful memories.
Ah Jiu thought for a while, then she stretched out her hand and gently held Shen Ji's hand.
Ah Jiu's hands were cold, and the cold touch came up.
Her strength was extremely light, covering Shen Jiu's hand as if there was no weight.
Shen Jiu was startled for a few seconds, and then smiled.
The warmth rushed to Shen Jiu's heart, and the warmth gradually spread and enveloped his whole body.
For him, his hometown was a bad memory of the death of his relatives. Now there is Ah Jiu, which brings him new memories.
Shen Jiu looked at Ah Jiu, and the eyes of the two met.
Her eyes were real and gentle.
His hand clenched slightly.
Seeing Shen Jiu's mood improved, Ah Jiu's smile gradually deepened.
At this time, the boss came up and asked: "What kind of food do you want?"
Ajiu lowered her eyes when seeing a stranger coming.
Shen Jiu let go of his hand and said, "Steamed pork with lotus leaf powder."
This is a specialty of Xitang, and Shen Jiu thinks Ajiu will like it.
The boss stopped moving, and glanced at Shen Jiu: "Listen to your accent, you are also from Xitang."
Then, the boss's gaze fell on Ah Jiu again: "It's just that you look at your dress, it's from Shanghai."
These two have very good temperaments, and the clothes are of high quality, and they look good from a good family.
Shen Jiu nodded: "You are right, I used to live in Xitang, now I come back and have a look."
The boss sees that the two are very good, and thinks they are lovers.
However, the boss could see that the girl was a little scared, so he didn't speak any more.
Shen Jiu continued to order: "Wonton old duck pot, steamed white silk fish, Bazhen cake..."
These are all local dishes from Xitang. A Jiu finally came here, and Shen Jiu hoped she could taste it.
After ordering, the boss left.
After a while, the dishes came, exuding aroma.
The two began to eat.
When Ah Jiu was eating, Shen Jiu would pay attention to her reaction and see what dishes she liked and what dishes she didn't like. Shen Jiu remembered everything in his heart.
During the meal, the table was silent, but the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
The daylight fell in, illuminating this corner.
The cold light and shadow poured down, and the two looked extremely elegant.
In a secluded corner, the sound is slight, and the air is filled with a warm atmosphere.
The dishes were all ready, but another bottle of Jiashan rice wine was delivered.
Shen Jiu was stunned, he didn't order the bottle of wine.
The person who served the dishes told Shen Jiu that the boss had sent them to them.
Jiashan rice wine is what they would drink in Xitang, because Shen Jiu hadn't been to his hometown for a long time, so the boss decided to give him a bottle.
Shen Jiu asked this person to express his gratitude to the boss on his behalf.
A Jiu took the wine bottle and poured a glass for Shen Jiu. Then, she looked at Shen Jiu.
Shen Jiu didn't actually plan to drink, since Ah Jiu poured it for him, he picked up the wine glass and prepared to take a few sips.
He has never let Ah Jiu down.
In front of her, Shen Jiu couldn't help but drink a little anxiously, and suddenly choked, he coughed.
A Jiu suddenly smiled when he saw Shen Jiu's movements.
Shen Jiu put down the wine glass and looked at A Jiu's smile, with a smile on the corners of his mouth.
He just wanted to see her happy.
After finishing the meal, Shen Jiu and A Jiu left the restaurant.
The house in Xitang was built near the water, and Shen Jiu and Ajiu walked slowly along the path between the house and the water.
This is the method Shen Jiu came up with. If she wants to cure A Jiu, she needs to reduce her fear.
Shen Jiu walked outside, and Ajiu walked inside.
There were not many people on the trail, and it was very quiet around.
The surface of the water was extremely clear, and the lake was flowing leisurely, revealing a breath of tranquility and tranquility.
The shallow sunlight shines on the water, and there are fine fragments of light and shadow on the water.
Seeing the water, Ajiu subconsciously stagnated, and then took a few steps back.
There was fear in her eyes, and her hands trembled slightly.
The turbulent tide in the dream swept over again, and the feeling of suffocation pressed hard on her, and she felt that she was almost out of breath.
At this time, Ah Jiu felt a warm touch from his hand.
She looked down subconsciously.
A pair of big hands covered her palms, and her hands were completely wrapped.
The warmth came, and the chill and fear in Ajiu's heart dissipated a little.
Ah Jiu looked up again, and Shen Jiuzheng was watching her tenderly.
Shen Jiu said, "Ajiu, don't be afraid, I'm by your side."
Ah Jiu looked at Shen Jiu, and the worries in his eyes were clearly visible.
A Jiu's heart quieted down.
Seeing that Ah Jiu was better, Shen Jiu said, "A Jiu, the water is not terrible."
Ah Jiu turned his head and looked at the water.
The water of the lake was very calm, the breeze blew, the water rippled, and soon dispersed.
The surface of the water seemed to be caged with mist, floating in the light and shadow, with a somewhat hazy feeling.
In the dream was the raging tide, she was trapped in the bottom of the water alone.
And here, it was a tranquil lake, and Shen Jiu was with her beside her.
Ah Jiu's heart gradually calmed down.
Ah Jiu nodded and smiled.
Shen Jiu took A Jiu's hand and continued to walk forward. The trail is long, winding to the front.
In the afternoon, Xitang is exceptionally quiet and sunny, bringing warmth.
The two walked slowly, enjoying this quiet time.
In the afternoon, Shen Jiu took A Jiu to see other places in Xitang, and then he was about to take A Jiu back to the Governor's Mansion in Shanghai.
It was dusk when I arrived at the Warlord's House.
The sun was sinking, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped Shanghai.
During this trip to Xitang, Ajiu's mood relaxed a lot. Now that she saw the water, she would not be as scared as before.
A Jiu got out of the car, looked at Shen Jiu, and she made a series of gestures.
Shen Jiu, thank you.
The smile at the corner of Ajiu's mouth deepened.
Shen Jiu smiled: "Ajiu, take a good rest."
Ah Jiu nodded and walked to the Warlord's Mansion.
Her back is slender and quiet, but her steps are much lighter than before.
Shen Jiu stared at A Jiu's back, without taking his gaze back for a long time.
Shen Jiu said something in his heart.
Ajiu, I will take you out of that lonely world before.
You will get better gradually.
…
After the school was over, Ye Chu walked out of the school gate.
It is early spring at this time, the spring is cold and the temperature is still not high.
Although the wind was not so bitter compared to winter, it still felt chills.
Ye Chu tightened his coat and prepared to walk to the tram station.
At this time, footsteps came from behind, from far to near.
Ye Chu still had time to look back to see who came.
The person behind him had already ran to Ye Chu's side and held her hand.
"Achu."
Yan Manman's voice rang in his ears, Ye Chu was startled, then smiled, and turned to look at Yan Manman.
"Tomorrow is the weekend, do you have anything to do later?"
Yan Manman asked Ye Chu with a look of expectation on his face.
Ye Chu said, "Of course nothing, what do you want to do?"
Yan Manman smiled: "I know there is a newly opened cake shop near the tram station."
The two of them walked towards the tram stop while talking and laughing.
Although Yan Manman was in Peking, he still heard the news that Ye Chu was being pursued by the Third Young Master.
As Ye Chu's friend, she naturally wanted to learn more.
Yan Manman said: "When you met San Shao before, you still needed my cover."
"It's not necessary now."
Some time ago, Yan Manman, as the only insider, did not know how hard he held back in order to cover up the relationship between the two.
Yan Manman acted like a baby to Ye Chu: "I have kept this in my heart for so long, and haven't leaked it at all."
Ye Chu couldn't help laughing. According to Yan Manman's temperament, it was indeed embarrassing for her.
Ye Chu thought for a while and said, "Today I invite you to eat cake."
Yan Manman nodded: "It's almost the same, but next time I will invite you to dinner."
The two talked and laughed, and soon walked to the cake shop.
There is a burst of aroma in the cake shop, sweet aroma mixed with the smell of coffee.
They were lucky. As soon as they arrived at the store, a batch of freshly baked cakes came out.
After the two bought the cake, they carried it in their hands and walked out of the cake shop.
At this moment, Ye Chu's gaze fell across the road, and she squinted slightly.
Yan Manman followed Ye Chu's gaze.
There were two men across the road, one was Ye Chu's cousin Su Mingzhe, and the other man was walking side by side with him, seeming to be his friend.
Yan Manman naturally recognized him, and they had met at a party.
She looked at Su Mingzhe for half a minute and felt that he seemed to have changed somewhat from a few months ago. Therefore, she did not realize that Ye Chu's reaction beside her was not quite right.
Ye Chu turned his head to look at Yan Manman: "Manman, I may have something to do, you go home first."
Although Yan Manman felt strange in her heart, she still nodded.
Ye Chu said, "Be careful on the road."
Yan Manman said goodbye, then turned and left.
Before leaving, Yan Manman tilted his head and stared at Su Mingzhe for a while before taking a step.
Ye Chu looked at Su Mingzhe again, and finally set his eyes on the person next to him.
Ye Chu recognized that person.
This person's name is Wen Yusheng, the only son in the family. He took over the family business and had business dealings with Su Mingzhe.
Although Wen Yusheng is mediocre, but he has excellent eloquence and is very inciting.
Ye Chu knew his identity because it was this person who tricked Su Mingzhe into a bad habit and went to degeneration.
In the last life, Wen Yusheng was Su Mingzhe's best friend.
Later, Su Mingzhe was coaxed by him and smoked a lot of smoke.
In the end, Su Mingzhe ended up looking like a man and a ghost, and all his family members were disappointed in him.
After Ye Chu came back from rebirth, she immediately found someone to investigate Wen Yusheng.
Ye Chu discovered that at this time, Su Mingzhe did not know him or had any business dealings with him.
According to the situation just now, Su Mingzhe and Wen Yusheng have just met each other.
They have not yet become good friends, and Su Mingzhe will not be deceived by him so quickly.
Now the regret has not been caused, and there is a lot of time to save it.
Su Mingzhe did not see Ye Chu, but was talking with Wen Yusheng.
The two talked happily.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chu couldn't help frowning, and immediately followed.
Ye Chu deliberately hid his whereabouts to prevent Su Mingzhe and the others from discovering it.
Ye Chu followed the two of them, and she watched Wen Yusheng and Su Mingzhe walk into a restaurant.
Ye Chu didn't follow the restaurant, but turned and left.
If she went in directly, they would most likely find her.
Now that she knew that Wen Yusheng was approaching Su Mingzhe, she could investigate this person again.
All of Wen Yusheng's materials had long been stored in Ye Chu's study.
The address of his residence will naturally appear on it.
The next day, Ye Chu made a disguise first, and after disguising himself, he went to the vicinity of Wen Yusheng's residence.
There is a tea house near Wen Yusheng's residence, and Ye Chu has set an upstairs box.
Looking down from this box, one can just observe the Wen family's house.
The window was half open, and Ye Chu sat by the window, his eyes falling out of the window.
Ye Chu ordered a pot of tea, poured the tea into the cup, white air curled up, and the fresh tea scent lingered in his nose.
Ye Chu just took a few sips and didn't drink any more.
Her gaze was always in the direction of the Wen family's house, and she did not dare to take it lightly.
When a cup of hot tea has completely cooled down, there will be movement over there.
The door opened and Wen Yusheng walked out of it.
Because Wen Yusheng was wearing a hat, Ye Chu made a careful identification before recognizing it.
After seeing Wen Yusheng go out, Ye Chu quickly left the teahouse and followed.
Ye Chu was in the crowd, always following Wen Yusheng.
Ye Chu noticed Wen Yusheng's expression, and there was a trace of anxiety on his face.
Maybe you will be able to know the reason later.
Ye Chu followed all the way, and after a while, Wen Yusheng stopped.
Ye Chu pretended to stop, and also stopped.
Ye Chu looked up and saw that this was a casino.
Wen Yusheng seemed to come here often, and the guard at the door was very familiar with him, and it didn't seem like the two had met for the first time.
Ye Chu watched Wen Yusheng walk into the casino, and immediately followed.
As soon as he walked into the casino, Ye Chu frowned subconsciously.
The environment inside is not very good, the light is dim, the air is stagnant, and it makes people breathless.
Ye Chu's gaze fell on Wen Yusheng's body.
Wen Yusheng walked in easily, and he immediately walked to a gaming table.
When his gaze fell on the gaming table, his gaze instantly changed and became extremely hot.
All of Wen Yusheng's mind was placed on it, and everything around it was difficult to attract his attention.
To avoid suspicion, Ye Chu walked to a gambling table next to him.
She just made a few bets at random and didn't make a big bet.
In the eyes of others, Ye Chu is just one of the many gamblers in the casino, nothing more ordinary.
Ye Chu bet while paying attention to Wen Yusheng's movements.
Ye Chu found out that Wen Yusheng would lose no matter how he bet.
But the worse Wen Yusheng loses, the more he will continue to gamble.
At this moment, he was like a desperado.
Although he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, he would still go on.
According to Wen Yusheng's gambling method, he would naturally lose all the money he brought.
Soon, Wen Yusheng lost all the money in his hands.
However, Wen Yusheng did not stop because of this, he still wanted to continue betting.
There are a lot of thugs around the casino, just to prevent people from making trouble.
Wen Yusheng's actions will naturally arouse their attention.
"What are you doing? If you lose all your money, leave the casino immediately."
Those thugs stepped forward to drive Wen Yusheng away.
Wen Yusheng said quickly: "The casino can lend me some money first, and I will return it to you as soon as I win."
The beater waved the stick in his hand, and his voice was full of sarcasm: "It's ridiculous. We are running a casino, not a shantang."
"If you don't have any money, just get out and pretend to be an uncle."
Beaters are not used to this, how many people lose all their net worth at the gambling table.
These people know the gambler's thinking very well.
Everyone thinks that as long as they are given another chance, they can win back their capital.
But the results are often not satisfactory.
Only when you lose everything will you wake up.
Wen Yusheng knew the rules of the casino and immediately said: "I know your boss, and he will definitely lend it to me."
The other gamblers in the casino did not feel surprised to see this scene.
They were still betting, but annoyed Wen Yusheng interrupted them.
Some people who lost money became angry on Wen Yusheng and began to curse.
Just as the scene was chaotic, a man suddenly walked out of the casino.
As soon as the thugs saw him, he immediately stepped forward: "Master Du."
The person called Du Ye gave a hum, and walked straight to Wen Yusheng.
"Master Wen, why are you here again?"
Wen Yusheng was a little panicked at first, and then he said: "Master Du, you know my temperament, if you can lend me some money, I will definitely come back."
Hearing this, Du Ye sneered: "Did you forget something?"
"You still owe a lot of money to our casino. I only promised you a few days of grace."
After a pause, Master Du said: "You also know the rules of the casino. If you don't pay, just wait for your hands and feet to be broken."
After speaking, Master Du also walked away, letting the thugs drive Wen Yusheng out before leaving.
Following Du's order, the thugs first beat Wen Yusheng and then threw them out of the casino.
Ye Chu took advantage of the fact that no one noticed, she also left soon.
Before leaving, she glanced at Wen Yusheng, his face turned pale.
The cold wind blew, Ye Chu's eyes were extremely cold.
Seeing the scene just now, Ye Chu knew that Wen Yusheng was a gambler and he hadn't changed after repeated teachings.
But in his previous life, he pretended to be very good in front of Su Mingzhe, and the Su family did not know that he was in debt. Perhaps he met someone to pay off his gambling debts.
And everything needs to pay a price, but I don't know whether Wen Yusheng is being used by others, and he is obsessed with it.
Ye Chu squinted his eyes. Su Mingzhe clearly had a promising future in his previous life, but he was ruined by indulging in the smoke.
She thought carefully about how this happened by accident.
If someone who wants to use Wen Yusheng to bring down the Su family... then the consequences will be disastrous.
