Rong Zhan looked at her with inquiring eyes, "Don't you even know this?"

Too bad!

Only then did Chu Wanying realize that her subconscious answer had exposed herself.

Then he pretended not to care and said, "That's right! Ever since I can remember, the Chu family has kept me at home, not letting me go out and only letting me work. How could they tell me these things!"

Who in the entire Yunluo Village doesn't know that Chu Wanying, the concubine of the Chu family, was born to a crazy woman, so not to mention the Chu family, even outsiders think she is very unlucky!

After hearing this, Rong Zhan felt that what he said made sense, but after thinking about it, he still felt that something was not right.

"Since they are so harsh on you, how do you learn to read?" He had not forgotten that these days, she had been relying on letters to communicate with him.

Regarding this, Chu Wanying had already thought of an excuse and said calmly, "It was an aunt who taught me how to read. She used to be the cook of the Chu family. Seeing that I was pitiful, she secretly taught me how to read. It's a pity that she didn't teach me how to read.

How long later, he left the Chu family and didn’t want me anymore..."

At the end of the sentence, the girl lowered her head and remained silent, as if she was full of grievances and had no one to express her sorrow.

Seeing her like this, Rong Zhan couldn't bear to ask any more questions, and then comforted her, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, from now on, the Rong family will be your home. No one will leave you."

Chu Wanying originally just made up a bunch of nonsense, but she didn't expect the man to actually believe it.

Feeling really sorry, he added, "Well, I know you've been kind to me, so I'll repay you." After saying that, before waiting for the man to answer, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, I've been sleeping for the past two days, Xing

Is there any news from home?"

Rong Zhan shook his head, "No, after the Xing family took the body away, they buried it in the ground on the back hill that day."

The girl bit her lip. She originally wanted to take a look at the girl's body again, but now it was difficult. She couldn't dig the body out, right?

The man seemed to have noticed her plan and frowned, "It's not feasible to dig up the body. Besides, the body has already decomposed into such a state. Even if it is dug out, it will be useless. Unless we find a widow to test it..."

Chu Wanying interrupted, "Are you the roundworm in my stomach? Why can you guess what I think of every time?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time. In the past, it could be explained that her expression was too rich, and maybe men were smart enough to see through it at a glance.

But now that she can speak, she can't be seen through so easily!

Hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to say that I can indeed vaguely guess your thoughts. Wouldn't you find it incredible?"

She couldn't tell the truth from his half-joking and half-serious tone, so she could only stare at him suspiciously and said, "Can you really hear my heart?"

In fact, she didn't think it was impossible for this kind of thing. After all, there were many supernatural powers in the past apocalypse, including mind reading.

However, according to the memory of the original person, Rong Zhan has indeed changed a lot. Is it possible that he also traveled through time?

Chu Wanying squinted her eyes to test him and said, "Why do I always feel that you are different from before? Did something happen?"

At this time, Rong Zhan was walking to the corner of the yard, holding a hoe and weighing it. Hearing her words, he looked back at her and said, "What are you thinking about again? Of course I am me. I just experienced life and death once.

It’s inevitable that I’ll be more open-minded.”

"Would you like to follow me for a walk in the back mountain later?" The man finally chose an ax, walked up to her, and explained, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I don't have enough firewood at home. I have to go to the back mountain to chop some.

The wood comes back.”

Knowing that he was deliberately changing the topic, Chu Wanying did not expose it. She also wanted to go around the back mountain, thinking that she might be able to find some treasures, so she agreed.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao came out and told them not to go too far.

Until she reached the foot of the back mountain, Chu Wanying finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked him, "What's going on with Aunt Rong these days? Why do you keep giving us these instructions?"

"It's okay, don't think too much about it. It's just that something happened to the two daughters of the Xing family. In addition, the old people in the village are a bit feudal. They are worried about us and told us not to come out all the time."

How could Chu Wanying not hear the implication of this sentence? Some people must have blamed all these things on her.

Originally, her reputation was not very good. Her mother died just after she was born, and she was still mute. Therefore, everyone thought that she had a tough life and would definitely be a slave to her husband in the future.

She didn't find it strange that they looked at her this way.

It's just that Mrs. Zhao is still kind-hearted. Even if she has some doubts, she is still embarrassed to speak out.

Chu Wanying looked at the man's nonchalant look and was very curious, "Don't you think a lot has happened since I came to the Rong family? Could it be..."

She was about to say, don't you feel like they do that my life is too overwhelming?

The man quickly interrupted, "No."

The answer this time was concise and concise, and it was obvious that he did not intend to discuss this topic anymore.

Chu Wanying stuck out her tongue at the man's back, not knowing why he was so sure.

What she didn't know was that what Rong Zhan was thinking in his heart was that even without Chu Wanying's existence, these things would have happened sooner or later. However, when the incident with Xing Cuicui happened in his previous life, he was still weak and lay in bed to recuperate every day.

Not much is known.

In the end, this matter was settled.

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the death of the two daughters of the Xing family was definitely not a simple coincidence.

Rong Zhan's eyes darkened and his pace became faster.

Chu Wanying followed him with great effort, and finally stopped until the man was walking on the mountainside.

"What are we doing here?" There are obviously many trees at the foot of the mountain. If he wants to cut down trees, there is no need to come here.

"Do you still remember the soil around Xing Sisi's body?"

After the man said this, she noticed that the soil around the land was brown in color, and it was indeed very similar to the one next to the corpse.

"You mean she was buried here? But didn't Uncle Xing say he buried her in the vegetable field?"

"I've been to the fields, and the soil conditions there are inconsistent." The man bent down, grabbed a handful of soil, and smelled it.

The taste is also different.

Chu Wanying lowered her head and sniffed it. Apart from the damp smell, she didn't feel anything special!

Rong Zhan lowered his eyes and stared at the traces on the ground, "This is the mountainside to the east. Very few people come here. Maybe we can find something else."

The two walked around the area and found nothing.

Chu Wanying leaned against the tree, sat down directly and sighed, "Forget it! It's been so long and the evidence has long since disappeared."

Rong Zhan ignored it and continued to search seriously.

She then wondered, "Now that the death of the Xing family's daughter has clearly nothing to do with the Rong family, why are you still so concerned about it?"

The man didn't answer. When he saw something shiny on the ground, he suddenly called her, "Wanying, come here quickly!"

Hearing the sound, Chu Wanying hurried over and saw the man picking up an earring.

"It seems that we have to take this and ask the Xing family if it belongs to Xing Sisi," Chu Wanying looked around the area where the earrings fell, and continued, "Then let's look for it again, maybe there are still some

Other discoveries.”

I searched carefully again, and this time I really couldn't find anything.

Chu Wanying held the earring and looked at it carefully. There was only one pearl on the earring. The style was simple and elegant, and there was nothing special about it.

Suddenly something occurred to her, and she shouted to the man who was still searching everywhere, "Actually, we can go to the rouge shop in town, Shopkeeper Qiu, and ask."

When the man heard what she said, he came over immediately and said, "Okay, we'll go there right now."

After saying that, he took the lead and left.

Chu Wanying thought to herself, what is going on with this man today? He does things vigorously and resolutely, but now her small body is really too much for her.

After finally catching up with him out of breath, the man suddenly stopped and said, "I'll cut some wood first and send it home. Why don't you go to town for a walk first? We'll meet at the door of the rouge shop."

Chu Wanying nodded in agreement.

After the two parted ways, Chu Wanying went to stock up on cotton-padded clothes and trousers, cotton shoes, cloth shoes, needlework, soy sauce and other condiments.

When passing by Huichun Hall, shopkeeper Li was not there, so she bought some medicinal materials for treating typhoid and cold and Jin Chuangshui medicine.

It's cold in winter, so it's inevitable to catch some colds, so it's always a good idea to prepare some medicine.

Then she went to the materials store to stock up on some fire folds, sulfur, etc.

After spending almost a tael of silver, I stopped in disinterest.

Sure enough, as long as you don't buy things like rice and noodles, you can still stock up on a lot of things with just one tael of silver.

When she passed by a rice noodle shop just now, she noticed that the price of rice and noodles had increased a lot. If this continued, there would soon be not enough food.

Chu Wanying was thinking about trying farming in space.

In her previous life, she had used the land in space to grow a lot of vegetables. However, since traveling through space, she has lost many functions. She wonders if this kind of skill can still be used.

I walked to the door of the rouge shop and waited for Rong Zhan for a while. Shopkeeper Qiu happened to come out to see off the guests. When he saw her standing at the door to see off the guests, he hurriedly greeted her, "It's been a long time, girl! Why don't you come in and take a look?"

People who do business have good memories. Even though Chu Wanying only came once, shopkeeper Qiu remembered her preferences clearly. So after he invited the person in, he walked into the inner room and took out an exquisite wooden box.

.

"Girl, come here and take a look. This is the new product I got from Dai Viet two days ago."

Chu Wanying stepped forward and took a look. It turned out to be a string of exquisite pearl earrings. The style was similar to the one she had just picked up on the mountain.

She was startled, and for a moment she forgot to pretend to be mute, and quickly asked, "Are these pearls only found in Dai Viet?"

Shopkeeper Qiu was surprised when he heard the girl speak for the first time, but he had seen the world after all, so he did not ask. He just followed her question and said, "Yes, Dayue Country is located in the south, close to the bay.

Pearls are abundant there."

"Look, this pearl is pink and mellow in color, but it is much more exquisite than the string you bought before!"
