After a while, Chu Yan let down all her hair, bought a red ribbon and tied it up casually, and found Chu Hong in the crowd.
The other party was not looking for a hairpin, he was clearly playing with it happily.
Chu Yan found a beggar and gave him a tael of silver. "Did you see the woman in the blue floral skirt? Teach her a lesson."
She said calmly.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and the people in the town are particularly generous.
The beggar didn't want to pay attention, but his eyes lit up when he saw the silver.
This is silver!
How long has it been since he saw silver?
"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely do it. To what extent do you want it?"
Chu Yan gave him a cold look and said, "Do what you can do."
After finishing speaking, she stood up and went to the crowd again.
She threw the mask and headband to the ground, picked up a fox mask again, made her hair the same as before, took off the cloak and hung it on her arm, and started wandering around again.
She heard Chu Hong's scream, and when everyone around her looked over, she just played with the hairpin in her hand indifferently.
"Do you like it, girl?"
The shopkeeper saw that she had been looking at her and asked quickly.
Chu Yan smiled, "How much?"
"This is cheap, only one tael of silver."
She gave the money, put away the hairpin, and went to find Chang Zhe.
When Chu Hong passed by, she was hugging Chang Zhe and crying bitterly. She looked like she had been wronged a lot.
Chu Yan paused for a moment, still thinking about whether to go over and disturb her good deeds.
"Yanyan, are you okay?"
Who knew that Chang Zhe had already pushed her away and came to Chu Yan.
He picked up Chu Yan's hand and looked around. He was relieved when he saw that she was not injured at all.
When Chu Hong ran over crying and said someone was bullying her, the first thing he thought about was whether something would happen to Chu Yan here.
"It's okay. What's wrong with Sister Hong?"
"Am I... am I you?"
Chu Hong suddenly stared at Chu Yan with an angry face. If looks could kill, Chu Yan would be cold by now.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
She looked innocent, but the grievance of being suddenly accused made her eyes red.
Chang Zhe immediately protected Chu Yan behind him, "Yan Yan and you just went in a different direction. Besides, you said that men bullied you. What can she do to you?"
"But...but she can also give money to others, otherwise why would that person rush up for no reason..."
Chu Hong felt sick as she thought of the dirty beggar throwing himself at her.
"Why do you have such an idea? Could it be that Sister Hong has done this kind of thing?"
"You are so rude, how could I do such a thing!"
Chu Hong shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Chu Yan caught a glimpse of someone approaching them from the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile.
"Yes, Sister Hong is not such a person. She told me to be careful before leaving just now, saying that someone was staring at me. Later, I really found out that someone was following me. If Sister Hong hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have been able to hide away.
no?"
Her voice was so loud that people nearby could hear it completely if they listened carefully.
After finishing speaking, Chu Yan took the initiative to hold Chang Zhe's arm and raised his little head, "I just ran away and lost the lantern you gave me. You won't blame me, right?"
"No. As long as everything is fine, you can buy a lantern if you like it."
How could Chang Zhe have the heart to blame her? He only regretted letting her face this situation alone just now and was secretly annoyed.
Chu Hong never thought about why Chu Yan suddenly said this, but she couldn't say anything. She thought Chu Yan was speaking for her, so she nodded without thinking.
"Even so, you should also thank me."
"Yes, yes, I thank you. This is the hairpin I bought for you. I hope you like it."
She handed over the hairpin she just bought, and Chu Hong took it suspiciously. When she saw it, she found that the style and quality were excellent, and she didn't want to be angry with her. A smile spread across her face.
The man next to him could spit fire from his eyes, but when Chang Zhe glanced at him warily, he quickly left as if nothing had happened.
Chang Zhe was worried that something might happen if there were too many people, so he suggested that he just go back.
Chu Yan naturally agreed, but Chu Hong was not in the mood to go shopping any more.
On the way back, Chu Yan touched the fox mask in her hand and asked, "Sister Hong, have you found your hairpin?"
"No. But it doesn't matter. When I go back and take the initiative to admit my mistake, my mother won't blame me."
"Oh. Do you have anything to tell me?"
Chu Yan's voice was softer and Chang Zhe in front couldn't hear it.
This is the last chance she gives Chu Hong.
Chu Hong rolled her eyes, thinking that if she didn't succeed this time, she would definitely have a chance next time.
Although Chu Yan gave her a hairpin, it didn't mean that she had to give up Chang Zhe to her.
Naturally, I won't mention this matter.
"Thank you for giving me this."
"I met a little beggar on the road today. He stared at me and rushed towards me when he saw me. It scared me to death."
"..."
Chu Hong was talking about what happened to her, and it was obvious that she already had psychological shadow.
"Wouldn't it be scarier if they did that to you?"
"Then I won't live!"
Chu Hong said directly, almost blurting out.
Chu Yan sneered.
So you value something more important than life, but you can take it away from others again and again?
In all likelihood, she was involved in Chu Daqiang's affairs.
Now this matter has nothing to do with her.
This person...heh...
Chu Yan closed her eyes and said no more, but her face looked horribly cold.
Until Chang Zhe sent Chu Hong back.
On the way back with Chang Zhe, Chu Yan suddenly said, "I think Sister Hong seems to like you quite a lot."
Chang Zhe paused, "I don't know."
"Don't you see?"
"I can feel it a little bit, but I don't like her."
He expressed his meaning very straightforwardly.
So, in fact, he can clearly distinguish between likes and dislikes.
So did he really like me in his previous life, and then really abandon him?
Chu Yan said no more.
Chang Zhe thought she was angry and asked quickly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Are you not happy? I...I am telling the truth. Chu Hong is indeed a very nice person, but..."
"No, I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about other things."
Chu Yan said with a smile.
Her voice was still gentle, but she always felt a little distant.
Chang Zhe couldn't grasp her thoughts.
It was already late when the two of them returned, so they hurriedly washed up and went to bed.
Early on the next morning, Chu Yan followed him out after going out in Changzhe as usual, and was still practicing martial arts in the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
Chu Hong's retribution spread quickly in the village.
