Chapter 17
Chapter 17
"What are you doing?"
This voice was very deep, not angry or roaring, but rather slow... almost restrained hoarseness.
Wu Song's heart skipped a beat for an instant.
And just before he could react, Fu Zhenhong let go of his hand: "You are not Wu Zhi."
Fu Zhenhong's voice was indifferent and calm, even though Wu Zhi saw him and Wu Song's ambiguous | embracing each other, he didn't panic in the slightest.
Compared with Fu Zhenhong's indifference, Wu Song's mood is complicated.
He immediately distanced himself from Fu Zhenhong, and anxiously explained to Wu Zhi: "Brother, things are not what you see!"
He made the point logically and clearly: "Because I was wearing your clothes, and you and I look alike from behind, so Pan Jinlian mistook me for you."
As he was in a hurry to explain the reason, Wu Song didn't care about the seniority of his uncle and sister-in-law, so he called Pan Jinlian's nominal sister-in-law by her first name.
Wu Zhi didn't speak, he just stood there silently.
I don't know whether to believe it or not.
At this moment, the atmosphere became more and more condensed.
A sense of helplessness suddenly rose in Wu Song's heart. He was rarely so passive. He cared about his elder brother very much, and he didn't want his elder brother to misunderstand him, let alone his brotherhood with his elder brother.
Wu Song still wanted to say something, but at this moment, the eldest brother's attention was completely on another person.Under such circumstances, perhaps no matter what he said, the elder brother would not really listen to it.
Brother, what he wants to hear is another person's explanation.
In fact, Wu Song's guess was not wrong.
Now Wu Zhi only wanted to hear the answer from Fu Zhenhong.
He didn't even look at Wu Song. After turning around from Fu Zhenhong, he kept his eyes on Fu Zhenhong, staring straight at Fu Zhenhong.
His eyes seemed calm, but there was a suppressed undercurrent in the depths of his eyes, which was like tidal waves, like an unpredictable storm brewing in his pupils.
He was waiting for Fu Zhenhong's explanation.
He was holding back, suppressing the dark and dark emotions from growing in his mind, using the cage in his body to imprison the beast in his heart that was desperately trying to break free.
Fu Zhenhong looked at Wu Zhi who was standing at the door of the kitchen, met Wu Zhi's gaze, and said, "Your Erlang is right, I did recognize the wrong person."
Fu Zhenhong's words were not salty, but even with such a tone, Wu Zhi's mood was instantly relieved.
The strings that were tense in Wu Zhi's heart also loosened a little.
Pan Jinlian's eyes did not seem to be lying.
However, even though he knew it was a misunderstanding, Wu Zhi still couldn't accept it.
For a moment, he even wanted to kill Pan Jinlian and his own brother, so that he wouldn't be affected by such things anymore.
Seeing that Wu Zhi didn't speak, Fu Zhenhong walked up to Wu Zhi, about an arm's length away from him, raised her eyes and said, "You don't believe me?"
Wu Zhi's eyelids moved, he blinked his dark eyelashes lightly, shook his head and said: "No, I just..."
He didn't say anything later, as if he was organizing his words.
Fu Zhenhong said, "Just what?"
Just as Wu Zhi was about to speak, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Is there anyone? I want to buy sesame seed cakes!"
Wu Song wanted to leave here for a long time, but he couldn't make a sound. When he heard the voice outside, he immediately said, "I'll go."
After saying that, he quickly left the kitchen, leaving room for Fu Zhenhong and Wu Zhi.
Fu Zhenhong said to Wu Zhi: "What are you worried about?"
This sentence is very similar to what Fu Zhenhong asked Wu Wuzhi when he was in the room last night.At that time, Wu Zhi answered Fu Zhenhong's nervousness.
But now, after Fu Zhenhong said this, he didn't wait for Wu Zhi to answer, because he went on to say: "Compared with other people, I am more interested in you. After all, you and I are married, aren't you?" ?"
At the end of the last sound, Fu Zhenhong's voice was deliberately prolonged, and the low and slow tone was transmitted to Wu Zhi's eardrums, with a provocative itch.
Wu Zhi's lips pursed, and the exposed part of his face, the angular jawline also appeared more smooth and neat because of his unconscious movements.
In the next second, Fu Zhenhong leaned forward and kissed Wu Zhi's chin lightly.
It was this light kiss that made the beast in Wu Zhi's heart withdraw its sharp claws and temporarily dormant.
Wu Zhi's mood improved.
And Wu Song, who happened to step into the house, also happened to see the scene where Pan Jinlian kissed her elder brother's chin.
His body paused in place, looking at the two people whose eyes were facing each other.Regardless of the size or height difference between the two, this picture looks very harmonious, but Wu Song's brows are unconsciously frowned.
Especially when Wu Song saw the smile that Pan Jinlian evoked towards his eldest brother, Wu Song frowned even tighter, and there was a bit of awe-inspiring coldness and guard in his eyes when he looked at Pan Jinlian
Pan Jinlian is too dangerous.
This kind of danger does not refer to how strong his martial arts are, but Wu Song sensed some kind of unstable factor from Pan Jinlian with his keen intuition.
Pan Jinlian's appearance is too eye-catching, and sometimes, beauty is a sharp blade, a deadly blade.
The eldest brother and Pan Jinlian stayed together, which made Wu Song unable to completely rest assured.Today's episode also made Wu Song more certain that he had to keep a distance from Pan Jinlian, and at the same time he had to pay more attention to Pan Jinlian.
At this time, Wu Zhi found Wu Song standing at the door of the room, "What's the matter?" He asked, his voice no longer had the initial low voice.
Wu Song restrained himself and said, "Brother, I don't know how much sesame seed cakes sell for now." He hasn't been back for several years, so he's not sure if the price of sesame seed cakes is still the same as before.
Wu Zhi replied: "It's still the same."
With that said, he walked towards the door of the room.
Wu Song looked back at Fu Zhenhong with cold eyes, and then followed Wu Zhi out.
…………
In front of the biscuit stand.
After the biscuit buyer left, Wu Zhi said to Wu Song who was standing beside him: "Pan Jinlian is your sister-in-law, you should keep your distance."
When Wu Song heard this, his dark eyes drooped, and he said, "Brother, that incident was really just an accident, and I will definitely keep a distance from him."
After saying this, Wu Song hesitated for a while, and finally, he reminded: "Brother, Pan Jinlian is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface, you should pay more attention."
He didn't want his elder brother to suffer.
Wu Zhi hummed.
Of course Pan Jinlian is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
No one knows this better than him.
But the more this is the case, the more interesting it is, isn't it.
If Pan Jinlian had behaved as she did in her previous life, he might have killed Pan Jinlian that night.
Seeing what he said, Wu Song didn't seem to have aroused his eldest brother's attention. His lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something more, but Wu Zhi didn't intend to talk to him more about Pan Jinlian.
Wu Song noticed something, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being.
As for the little episode in the kitchen, that's all.
On the surface, at least, it is.
But in fact, only they know what Wu Zhi and Wu Song are thinking in their respective hearts.
At this time, it was already halfway through the hour, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.
Suddenly, there was a burst of panic shouting and the sound of horseshoes running ahead——
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The coachman driving the carriage was pale and clutched the reins tightly with a look of horror, but the black horse held by him seemed to be frightened, dragging the wheels behind and galloping wildly.
The carriage was crooked, as if it might overturn at any moment, and the pedestrians who were walking on the street also tried to dodge at the fastest speed.
The scene became chaotic for a while.
Seeing that the carriage was about to hit the sesame seed stall, at the very last moment, Wu Song pulled Wu Zhi's arm to avoid the violent impact of the black horse.
There was a "bang", but in the blink of an eye, the sesame seed stall was smashed to pieces.
But in the next second, the frantic horse seemed to be hit by something on its front foot, its knees suddenly folded forward, and its upper body suddenly fell to its knees.
"Hiss—"
The black horse that fell to the ground let out a thin neighing sound.
The carriage behind it also fell to the ground and hit the ground with a muffled "bang".
"Miss! Miss, are you okay!" A woman's anxious voice sounded from inside the carriage.
"I'm fine, ahem... let's go out first." After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "Quickly check if my pipa is broken!"
"Miss, the pipa seems to have been knocked out just now!"
"what!!!"
Listening to the conversation between the two women in the carriage, Wu Song silently glanced at the dilapidated biscuit stand, and then at the pipa that was held down by a broken plank of the biscuit stall.
His brows were slightly frowned, and he looked at the carriage with obvious coldness.
If he hadn't dodged in time just now, he and his elder brother might have been injured.
Thinking of this, Wu Song immediately looked at Wu Zhi beside him, and asked worriedly: "Brother, are you injured?"
Wu Zhi shook his head: "No problem, thanks to your timely response."
While speaking, Wu Zhi calmly withdrew the hand that threw the broken silver at the horse's leg just now.
He glanced at the crashed biscuit stand, his eyes drooped slightly, and suppressed the emotions in his eyes.
In fact, before the carriage hit the biscuit stand, Wu Zhi could have stopped it in advance.But he didn't do that.
It was only after the sesame seed stall was hit by a carriage that he used ingenuity to throw a piece of broken silver and hit the acupuncture point on the horse's front leg, stopping the horse from continuing to go berserk.
As for why the horse-drawn carriage was allowed to crash into the sesame seed stall.
It is because this is an opportunity for Wu Zhi.
An opportunity for him not to continue selling biscuits in the future.
After all, the sesame seed stalls were all crashed, right?
Looking at the messy stalls, Wu Zhi's eyes flashed with thought.
At this time, the two women who were talking in the carriage just now also came out.
The woman in Tsing-clothed with a maid's bun supported another woman in pink with both hands, and said to the coachman, "How do you drive!"
The coachman was already terribly frightened at this moment. He collapsed on the ground and said with a bitter face, "I... I don't know why this horse suddenly went berserk."
"If something happens to our young lady, ten lives won't be enough for you!" The servant girl glared at the coachman angrily, "Hurry up and get up!"
Hearing this, the coachman quickly got up from the ground and explained to the girl: "Miss Xie, this is really an accident. I rarely encounter such things as horses suddenly going berserk. ..."
Before the coachman finished speaking, the woman in pink looked at the pinned pipa with regret on her face: "My pipa!" Obviously, the woman in pink cared more about the pipa that was pinned down than listening to the coachman's explanation. lute.
The maid in Tsing Yi glared at the coachman again: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Hurry up and get the pipa out for our lady!"
The coachman nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, let's do it, little one! Let's do it!" The coachman walked over quickly while talking. He wanted to pull out the pipa, but he pulled hard, instead of pulling out the pipa, the wood The frame becomes more scattered.
Now it's all right, the pipa that was originally only pressed down on the front end was pressed down a few inches by the scattered wooden frame.
Driver: "..."
The woman called Miss Xie by the driver: "..."
The expression of the maidservant in Tsing Yi was indescribable, she pointed at the coachman angrily and said, "You charged so much money from our lady, that's why you did it?!"
The driver's face wrinkled into a ball: "I really didn't mean it!"
"You unreliable thing!" The green-clothed maid scolded the coachman, then turned to look at the pink-clothed woman: "Miss, what should we do now?"
The woman in pink said angrily, "What else can I do, of course get my pipa out!"
The maidservant in Tsing Yi heard the words and looked at the coachman again.
The driver's body froze suddenly.
He felt that if he was allowed to come again, then Pipa might be buried in the booth directly
But if he doesn't, the result will be equally miserable.
When the driver was in a dilemma, Wu Song, who had witnessed the whole process, stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."
After finishing speaking, Wu Song walked over, stretched out his hand, and quickly and accurately pulled out the pipa with lightning speed.
The woman in pink was overjoyed, and the maidservant in green beside her saw this, and hurried up to Wu Song, wanting to take the pipa.
But when she stretched out her hand, Wu Song avoided it.
Obviously, he didn't want to just give it to her.
"What do you mean?" The maidservant in Tsing Yi frowned.
Wu Song ignored her, but looked at the woman in pink behind the maidservant in green: "Of course the pipa will be given to you, but the premise is that you pay everything that should be paid, and also, apologize."
After speaking, he glanced at the scattered sesame seed stalls, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Hearing Wu Song's last two words, the woman in pink, who was already in a bad mood, turned cold instantly: "Apologize?"
Wu Song nodded: "Apologize and pay."
Wu Song's idea was very simple, they hired the carriage, and if something happened, they should give an explanation.
And if they hadn't dodged in time, the impact would not have been as simple as the sesame seed stand being crashed.
The woman in pink said: "If we don't apologize, then we won't pay?"
Wu Song said unhurriedly: "Then I'm afraid I can't give you this pipa."
The maidservant in Tsing Yi said: "You are bold!"
Xie Lingshan laughed angrily.
She felt that she was at odds with this place in Qinghe County, and the road from here began to have twists and turns.After coming here, everything went wrong.If it wasn't for that fellow Xie Linge and Brother Zhou coming here, she would never have set foot in this small and remote county in her entire life!
Xie Lingshan glanced at the onlookers, and then looked at the man who was holding her pipa and looked like a petite man.
If she was only asked to pay for the biscuit stall, Xie Lingshan would be acceptable.
But ask her to apologize, that won't work.
The sudden madness of the horse is not something she can control, nor is it her fault.She herself was frightened, and her pipa was hit. She was already a little irritable, and naturally she couldn't bear what this man said.
She hates being threatened the most.
The more someone treats her like this, the more she wants to sing a different tune.
"Why do you want me to apologize and pay?" Xie Lingshan said impatiently: "My favorite pipa was suppressed by your biscuit stall, so it must have suffered a lot of damage! You should pay for it!"
The maidservant in Tsing Yi also echoed: "That's right! Our pipa is a phoenix-neck pipa, which is so precious! You can't compare to the corners of this pipa!"
"It's fine if our lady didn't ask you to pay, but you still want us to apologize and pay you, maybe you're looking at us like we've been taken advantage of! You think we're easy to bully, don't you?"
At this time, the onlookers couldn't help but say——
"This is too unreasonable for the master and servant, why is this?"
"That's right, that's right, their carriage almost ran into me just now, or else I reacted quickly, and I would have been hurt by now."
"This lady in pink looks so beautiful, but she never expected to be so unreasonable."
"Yeah, it's unreasonable..."
These comments from the crowd made Xie Lingshan's face turn pale one after another, and she was so angry that she shook her hands: "There are so many of you, right? That's all I'm going to say here! Unless it's someone I really recognize in this life, no one can Force me to apologize!"
At this time, Wu Zhi, who had never said a word, suddenly asked: "How can it be considered an admission?"
Xie Lingshan glanced at him, and said contemptuously, "At least someone who I can really admire." After she finished speaking, her eyes glanced at the pipa in Wu Song's hand, and she suddenly turned her eyes: "For example, someone who plays the pipa very well .”
As soon as she said this, the onlookers were in an uproar.
"Isn't this embarrassing the two brothers of the Wu family!"
"That's right! This pipa is notoriously elegant. There are very few people who can learn pipa. Except for the musicians and singers in the teaching workshop, there are only some people who can learn pipa because they like pipa. The official lady from the elementary school Pipa can."
"Indeed! Of the two brothers from the Wu family, one sells sesame seed cakes and the other is away all year round. No matter which one, it is impossible for them to get in touch with the pipa, let alone play it well!"
At this time, a person in the crowd suddenly said, "Hey! Have you forgotten that there is another person?"
"Who?" Someone was puzzled.
"Who else could it be!" The speaker glanced at Wu Zhi who was wearing a mask, and then at the door behind Wu Zhi.
Seeing this, the other person immediately reacted: "Could it be that..."
"Pan Jinlian?" Someone answered the question.
As soon as the three words Pan Jinlian came out, the onlookers were in an uproar again, and the discussions became more intense than before——
"Pan Jinlian? Impossible!"
"I also think it's impossible. Although Pan Jinlian is very good-looking, her face looks like a fairy, but that's the only face I can see!"
"I also think it's impossible! Pan Jinlian was once a servant of Zhang Yuan's family, but not the master of Zhang's family. How could he play the pipa?"
"What's more, there are very few men who can play the pipa."
"It's really impossible, anyway, I don't believe it."
Xie Lingshan listened to these people talking to each other, almost without leaving the words "Pan Jinlian" in their words, and suddenly became a little curious.
She exchanged glances with Xiaoyan, her maidservant, and was about to speak when she heard an extremely pleasant male voice——
"very noisy……":
