There is a white bone spirit in the village

Chapter 57

Li Guantao was told by Yang Jingxuan a few days ago that he was getting married, saying that the other party was a woman from his village.The two of them have worked together for several years. Although they are subordinates, they are also teachers and friends.Knowing that he had no intention of getting married, now he suddenly said to himself that he was going to get married, and even the brows seemed to be lit up with joy when he spoke.Although he is old now, he was once young, so he naturally understands the joy of being the bridegroom officer, and is also sincerely happy for him.After asking a few more questions, when he heard that the woman was his widow and niece in the clan, he suddenly felt astonished.Thinking about it again, he has always acted prudently, since he wants to form such a marriage that can be called shocking, there must be a reason for him.Li Guantao is not pedantic, after being stunned, seeing that he cared about that woman, he begged him to be the officiant of the couple, and naturally he agreed.But he was very curious about the woman in his heart, so he asked him to choose a day to bring her to see you. Madam has a meeting gift to give.He complied and left.A few days later, when the murder case in Qingping Town was over, he was urged to meet Yang Jingxuan's new daughter-in-law by his wife who was more curious than him. It's not that he was reluctant to let his wife show up and be ashamed, that's why he was reluctant to bring it.He didn't want to, but he was uncharacteristically, stunned for a while, and finally just said "She won't marry me" sullenly, got up and left.

Li Guantao was once again astonished when he learned of his marriage and his divorce. It was only a few days before and after.After a few more days, I saw that although he was acting as usual, the gloomy look between his brows often revealed inadvertently.He is lonely and cold, and he doesn't talk much.Although everyone in the yamen respected him, they were more willing to get close to him as a superior official than usual, and now he exudes a gloomy air every day, making everyone detour when they see him.

Apart from Li Guantao, Liu Datong and others in the yamen didn't know about his brief engagement with Lin Jiao.All he knew was that he was having an affair with the female shopkeeper of the foot shop.Seeing that he suddenly changed into a different person now, he secretly guessed that it must be the female shopkeeper who gave him the first place.Although Li Guantao knew the reason, it was his private matter after all. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, he didn't want to ask too much. He just thought that he was in a bad mood at this moment, and it was inconvenient to send him more things, so Just now it was decided to let Liu Datong take someone with Lin Jiao.How could he have imagined that the "Da Ya Wang" whom he found now is the chief culprit that made his capable and beloved general feel depressed for days?Hearing the noise outside the door, he came out, saw him blocking the way with a scabbard, thought that he felt that the woman was unfamiliar, but broke into the back house of the county government, and made a move in his heart, so he hurriedly explained.Seeing that he finally got out of the way, he didn't pay much attention to his face, just smiled and said: "She promised to go to Yanlaipi tomorrow to survey the terrain. The old man wanted to go there alone, but he was stuck and couldn't get out. You If you like, you can go with her. Otherwise, you can call me Liu Datong..."

Lin Jiao heard it clearly, and hurriedly interjected: "Master Li, just as I said just now, please ask Big Brother Liu to accompany me!"

Yang Jingxuan glanced at her quickly, seeing her solemn expression when she spoke, her eyes were only looking at Li Guantao, not even looking at her from the corner of her eyes, her heart sank, just now she suddenly knew that she was the one he had suspected before but was dismissed by her clever words The hidden anger and surprise of Qing's "Wang Daya" are gone, and I will look at her bright cheeks. Thinking of these days, I always feel that there are countless words in my heart. I couldn't bear it anymore, and in a moment of blood, I wanted to go to her house to find her and ask her everything again.Every time I get closer to her house, I think of her decisive eyes and ruthless words when I looked at him in the school that day, and the steps become more and more difficult. In the end, I just return dejectedly, and I can't help thinking: "She is so ruthless." If you say you don’t want me, you don’t want me anymore... It seems that she is living a good life these days, as if she has forgotten me... Has she ever liked me? If she still likes me like she said, why? If you want to treat me like this... I seemed to be angry just now, but why was I angry? In fact, even if I want her to lie to me now, she probably won't lie to me again..." Thinking of this, I felt a pain in my chest Sorrowful, boring and unbearable.

How could Li Guantao guess the thoughts of the two people standing in front of him.Although Yang Jingxuan lost his composure, he hadn't been very normal for the past few days, so he didn't feel at ease.Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Jiao tried her best to express her willingness to let Liu Da accompany her, so she agreed.

Only then did Lin Jiao say goodbye to the two of them lightly, and Li Guantao said, "Jingxuan, see off the guests for me."

Yang Jingxuan's heart skipped a beat, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Lin Jiao rushing to say again: "Thank you, sir, I don't dare to trouble you, I know the way myself." After saying that, he bowed his head and left quickly, leaving only Yang Jingxuan stared blankly at her back, unable to move for a while.

Li Guantao was in a great mood, and when Lin Jiao's back disappeared, he couldn't help but praise: "Jingxuan, don't underestimate her. Although she is only a little girl, if she is really useful, she will be my guest in the future. You have to give her some points."

Yang Jingxuan was called back to his mind, rubbed the corner of his forehead that was starting to hurt again, pulled up the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, but couldn't help thinking: "How does she know this? Why didn't she mention it to me before?" Suddenly I thought again: "She has been lying to me all along, how could she let me know this?" The mood suddenly became more and more depressed.

Li Guantao, however, was so happy that he didn't pay attention to the distressed mood of this capable subordinate in front of him.With a final wave of his hand, he said, "Jingxuan, go and tell Liu Datong to choose someone to take care of her tomorrow. My wife said that she will cook some dishes by herself in the evening, and asked me to invite you over for dinner. Seeing that he was still absent-minded after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but reached out and patted his shoulder vigorously, encouraging him: "There is no grass in the end of the world. Your widow, nephew and daughter-in-law won't marry you because she has no vision." , Thinking about it later, maybe it’s a good thing. Why don’t a man have a wife? I’ll ask Madam to take care of you, as long as you let go and keep them for three years!”

Yang Jingxuan gave a wry smile, and finally got up his spirits to respond. He resigned from Li Guantao and went straight to find Liu Datong as he was told. When he saw him, he said, "Daya Wang, whom my lord asked to look for a while ago, has found him, and I will order you tomorrow Take someone to escort her to Yanlaipi to survey the terrain."

Liu Dayong listened to Mr. Li's order, and hurriedly responded, and asked again: "Where does Wang Daya live?"

Yang Jingxuan said slowly: "Wang Daya is Chun Jiao who runs a foot shop, and Chun Jiao who runs a foot shop is Wang Daya."

Liu Datong groaned and answered again, only to realize that something was wrong, he almost jumped up: "It's her!" As soon as the words came out, he quickly glanced at Yang Jingxuan, seeing him with his hands behind him, expressionless He stared at himself, but there seemed to be something different in his gaze.Thinking of his various anomalies in these days, he felt blessed immediately, slapped his forehead and hurriedly said: "Look at my memory! I suddenly remembered. My mother-in-law has been clamoring for me to accompany her back to her mother's house tomorrow morning. After agreeing, I am going to ask you to take a leave of absence from the adults, what should I do?"

Yang Jingxuan hummed, but still said expressionlessly: "In this case, you are allowed to take a day off tomorrow."

When Liu Datong heard the words, his heart suddenly blossomed with joy.This music is not fake.Yamen work hard, bad luck, even if you are busy for a month, it is rare to have a day off.These days, I heard that his father-in-law in the country fell and broke half of his front tooth, and his mouth was swollen.The mother-in-law at home is clamoring for him to ask for leave to visit together.He saw that his immediate boss had a gloomy face all day long, and he had many things to do, and he ran here and there, so he didn't dare to mention the leave.I didn't expect to get a day off out of thin air like this, so I was naturally happy and grinned to thank him.Yang Jingxuan said nothing, turned around and left.

Lin Jiao went out of the yamen to her own house, and the first thing she did was to take Neng Wu to Xu Shun's house immediately.As soon as his wife heard that she could accompany her to visit the prison, she immediately got up from the bed, packed a basket of food and clothes, put Xu Shun's usual doctor in the medicine box, and followed Lin Jiao to the prison.The head of the cell just got an order to transfer Xu Shun from the group supervisor to a cleaner single cell.Seeing that Lin Jiao showed the handwritten letter with the seal of the county magistrate, she put it in.

That Xu Shun was implicated and imprisoned, he regretted and was afraid, and he cried and cried every day, suddenly saw that today he was put in a single prison, and asked the prison boss to ignore him, and he didn't know whether it was joy or disaster. Kneeling in the corner anxiously, he suddenly saw his mother-in-law, Lin Jiao and others approaching, and then realized the reason.Now that his life is in the hands of others, how dare he be negligent, and after asking the jailer to wash his hands with a basin of water, he held his breath and performed acupuncture treatment.After that, knowing that Lin Jiao had some face in front of the county magistrate, she begged her in a low voice: "I know that I used to be obsessed with money and did something wrong. Now if I can cure young master Nengwu's eyes, it will be considered a crime, please. Say a few more good words to me in front of the magistrate, if you let me go out earlier, I will definitely change my past, definitely!" His wife next to him also begged.

Lin Jiao didn't dare to answer, she just talked for a while.Thank you, Xu took Nengwu out by the way.After settling back to the room at night, I prepared the paper and pens for tomorrow and rested. In the dead of night, as soon as I closed my eyes, the scene when I bumped into Yang Jingxuan today appeared in front of my eyes.

She tried her best not to think about his typical lovelorn frustration, but the more she didn't want to think about it, the more it came to her mind.The peace of mind that had been so easily cultivated in the past few days was gone, and I only felt depressed.Just like when I couldn't sleep in the first few nights, I got up, lit the lamp and sat down at the table, took out the "Primary School Book", spread out the paper, and practiced slowly on the words on it with a pen, writing After a page of words, he finally yawned.After putting away the pen and ink, he was about to put the book back to bed and go to sleep, when a piece of paper suddenly popped out from between the book, and he opened it up to look, and saw that it was the paper he had written on the first night when he came to teach himself how to read.The "Chunjiao" and "Jingxuan" are neatly lined up above, and the scene at that time seems to emerge in front of my eyes.After staring at it for a while, I took a pen and dipped it in thick ink, until the words were painted black, and then I let out a long breath, put down the pen and went to bed, blowing on the lamp and going to sleep.

Lin Jiao woke up early the next day.Because I have to climb a mountain road today, I dress very neatly.He ordered the people in the store and Nengwu, saying that he had something to go out, and he might come back late at night.While talking, Zhaodi ran in and said, "Sister Jiao, that person is here again! He's outside!"

Lin Jiao asked, "Who?"

Zhao Di said: "Master Yang!"

Lin Jiao was startled, frowned, thought for a while, took the basket she had prepared and walked out, she saw him standing straight beside the carriage, she walked over and asked, "Where's Brother Liu? "

When Yang Jingxuan saw her appear, his heart beat slightly faster unconsciously.When she saw her asking herself, her attitude was a little gentler than when she met yesterday at the door of the Houya study, and for some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "He has an urgent matter to ask for leave today, so Master Li ordered me to replace him." .”
