Chapter 158 158: For the first time, I really started to reflect on myself (second update)

Author: Dream Builder

"You are quite open-minded." Xie Jin said in a dull voice.

Chang Xi smiled coldly, "You are not a roundworm in other people's stomachs. How can you know what others think? The most difficult thing for people is to control other people's thoughts."

Although I don’t know why Xie Jin was assassinated, it may be related to his secret, or it may be related to the changes in officials in Yiyang City and nearby cities. In short, he must have many enemies, and this time he was caught with a pigtail.

, so they killed the killer painfully.

But she kept these in her heart and didn't say them out. After all, she didn't want to know so many other people's secrets, and she didn't want to die so quickly. There was no need for a little person like her to be meat on someone else's chopping board, so she had to save herself.

The last word is to keep growing.

After she said this, Xie Jin's mood was no longer so depressed. This woman's optimistic nature was actually very contagious. She could always see the essence of the problem sharply. This trait actually made it difficult for him not to look at her.

she.

The two of them did not continue talking, but continued to be vigilant about the surrounding situation and waited for dawn. If no one came to find them yet, they would proceed to the next step.

It will be easier to do when it gets daylight. Chang Xi has been to the nearby villages. It will be much easier for her to find rescue if she sees which village is nearby. After all, most of the people in these villages are working in her workshop.

When it comes to work, she naturally has an advantage.

The morning glow gradually appeared on the horizon, and she began to be able to see things. She began to look at the surrounding scenery. For a while, she really couldn't tell where it was? No wonder no one came to look for her.

"Can I leave?"

Hearing her question, Xie Jin whispered, "Yes." Licking his white lips, he struggled to stand up.

The two went to the river to drink some water to replenish the water in their bodies. Then Chang Xi helped Xie Jin continue walking down the river. She remembered that there was a village next to the river, but now she didn't know whether it was because she hadn't arrived or

If you miss it, you can only try your luck.

Fortunately, she was lucky today and finally met a group of elderly women doing laundry. Chang Xi couldn't help but look happy.

Such a group of people are definitely not assassins, because all the young men and women in the village work in the tea brick workshop, and the housework naturally falls into the hands of a group of elderly women. As long as the poor people can work, everyone is a labor force and cannot be idle.

Stay dry and eat.

Several old women who were chatting and laughing suddenly saw the embarrassed Chang Xi and Xie Jin.

Just when Chang Xi was about to ask questions, one of the old women recognized her immediately, "Ms. Chang?"

Chang Xi immediately responded, "It's me."

"It's really Mrs. Chang."

More and more old women recognized her. After all, when the tea brick workshop opened last time, they also went to have a good meal. At that time, they remembered the generous female owner. After all, beautiful people are easy to remember.

.

Everyone immediately gathered around and started asking questions.

Then someone set their sights on Xie Jin, curious about the relationship between the two. Could it be that this is Mrs. Chang's man?

When I thought about it, a look of gossip suddenly appeared in my eyes.

Xie Jin pursed his lips. Although he felt that these women were noisy, he was very self-aware and did not say anything. However, when he heard someone whisper that he was Chang's man, his ears couldn't help but turn red.

He stood up and secretly glanced at Chang Xi from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that although her expression remained unchanged, she did not deny it, his heart jumped a little.

Chang Xi hurriedly raised his hand to stop their questioning, and casually made up a lie, saying that the two of them met a wild wolf yesterday, which was why they were in such a mess, and did not say much else.

Everyone understood immediately upon hearing this, and then enthusiastically invited her to have breakfast at home.

Chang Xi had this intention. Anyway, he was hungry now, so he did not refuse the invitation and immediately followed the best-dressed one to the village.

Who told her that she hadn't activated the skill of survival in the wild in her previous life? Catching fish in the water was too difficult, and she didn't want to challenge it.

As for Xie Jin, who was injured, she was too embarrassed to call him around. Besides, Xie Jin didn't catch fish or anything along the way. It's likely that he didn't have the same skills in this area as she did.

A group of women had no intention of washing clothes at the moment and followed them towards the village.

As soon as they arrived at this village, Chang Xi understood the direction. This village was the poorest of the five nearby villages, so it only had the village chief. The person who managed it, Li Zheng, lived in another village.

The old people chatting under the trees in the village saw Chang Xi entering the village with a strange man, and immediately gathered around them. Several respected old people who had been toasted by Chang Xi immediately came forward to say hello.

Chang Xi still recognized the person and immediately greeted him with a smile. Although he was dressed in a mess, his expression was the same as before, and he did not let anyone see that he was tired or weak.

Xie Jin's attention has always been on her. Although he knew she was strong, he didn't expect that she would be so strong. Such women are rare in the world.

He felt a little uncomfortable being treated as a strange object by the people in the village, but this was the most beneficial thing for him. The more people there, the more secure his safety would be.

Just as he was about to take out the token and ask someone to go to another courtyard to notify Zhou Nan or Manager Jin to come, Chang Xi grabbed his hand, secretly shook his head at him, and then smiled and asked everyone who was working in the workshop today.

rest?

Immediately someone raised their hands and said, "My father is at home, I will call him."

Chang Xi watched the clever baby run away, then a few more people responded, and then ran home to call the adults.

At this moment, the best-dressed washerwoman was sitting on a small table in front of the home. The host brought porridge and pickles. Then the woman was afraid that they would not be able to eat them, so she hurried to the kitchen to find them.

When two eggs are brought out, they immediately light a fire and fry them, for fear of neglecting the distinguished guests.

Chang Xi was really hungry, so she was not polite. After thanking her, she picked up the bowl and started drinking porridge.

Xie Jin looked at her, swallowed the question on his lips, and then imitated her and started to drink porridge. This porridge was multigrain porridge, a bit cut throat, but he didn't dislike it so much when he was hungry.

The host brought freshly scrambled eggs, but Chang Xi was not reserved. It was difficult to switch from extravagance to frugality. She had never been neglected in her life, so she just picked it up and ate it.

This meal ate up all the porridge that the host had prepared for lunch. Chang Xi rarely ate so much, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she immediately took out some scraps of silver and gave it to the host.

The host's family hurriedly refused. Someone in her family also worked in the workshop and received Chang Xi's favor.

Chang Xi insisted on giving money, otherwise she would be embarrassed, and in the end the host had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

At this time, several children had already brought the adults in the family.

Several adults who were about to take a rest after returning from the night shift saw clearly Chang Xi sitting in the crowd, and all their sleepiness disappeared. It turned out that the baby was not lying, she was really Mrs. Chang.

They were frightened and came forward to greet him.

Chang Xi returned the gift with a smile, and then asked them to go back and bring a message to Xiaotao or Huniu, asking them to come and take them back.

The embarrassed look of the two people caught everyone's eyes, and they understood immediately, and without any hesitation, several people hurried out of the village towards the other courtyard.

Chang Xi did not separate from Xie Jin, but borrowed a room from the host's house to take a rest.

The host was now more sure that Chang Xi had a close relationship with this man, and immediately enthusiastically gave up the best room in her house for them to rest. She also said that if the person who picked them up entered the village, she would come and notify them.

Don't worry, take a rest.

Chang Xi responded hurriedly, "Hey, then I'll trouble the old man."

When the host saw Chang Xi being polite, the smile on his face became wider and wider. No wonder everyone said that the hostess was easy to get along with, and indeed she was.

When the door was closed, the crowd outside began to disperse.

Xie Jin then asked Chang Xi, "Why is that so?"

It would be fastest to take his token to report to another hospital, so he was a little puzzled by Chang Xi going around in circles like this.

Chang Xi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, "Master Jie Jiu, you are used to being aloof and can't see the people below."

Xie Jin's expression turned cold on the spot, "I don't want to hear your ridicule now. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Seeing Chang Xi sitting on the bed, he consciously picked a bamboo chair and sat down. The intimacy last night was out of necessity. Now that he is awake, he shouldn't be so intimate. After all, he and her have not really established a relationship, so they shouldn't ruin it.

her reputation.

Chang Xi saw that he consciously avoided suspicion and respected him as a gentleman, so he said sternly, "Take your token and go to the other courtyard to report the news. I think your subordinates may arrest the person for interrogation first, right? Are you sure he is true?"

After the fake, I just came here, let’s not say it’s inefficient, let’s just say why should others be interrogated?”

It's polite to say they're being interrogated, but they'll probably be beaten up first. Something happened last night, so the security in the other courtyard must be very tight now. Maybe the Fourth Master and Mr. Qin are on their way to the other courtyard, and something like this happened.

Major matters must be reported to the main house.

Both Zhou Nan and Manager Jin were afraid that the person taking the token might be a spy? Could there be a trap? If they didn't find it clearly, what would happen if they fell into the enemy's trap?

Not only will this save Jin who doesn't understand him, but he himself will also get into trouble.

She didn't want to see such a scene. After all, most of the people in this village were simple and life was not easy for everyone. If something happened to the pillar, the whole family would be destroyed.

So she chose a roundabout way. The workers in the workshop were looking for Xiao Tao or Hu Niu without being conspicuous. Even if there were still people ambushing them, they would not attack a few common country men on the road, but would just treat them as normal people.

work.

If you had done some research beforehand, you would have known that her tea brick workshop was nearby, and a group of people going to work would pass by the other courtyard every day.

Hearing what Chang Xi said, Xie Jin fell silent. He really had not considered what would happen to the people who used his tokens to report to other courtyards. He would not think about the problem from their perspective.

Perhaps he always kept the literal meaning of the four words "love the people like a son". Even Jie He, who taught him, could not actually turn these four words into verbs.
