The Protagonist Just Wants To Falling In Love - Chap 511
Early the next morning, when he was carrying a bucket to the pond, he met Chen Qianhu on the road. Chen Qianhu was carrying two loads of water, walking back in vain, and his lips were so pale that he couldn’t hide them.
”Jiang Er…Aqiu…” He sneezed, and Jiang Zefeng hid for a moment.
”It’s not healed yet.” he asked.
”Nothing.” Chen Qianhu rubbed his nose, “Are you going to fetch water too?”
Jiang Zefeng said “Yes” and saw that he was not wearing enough clothes and asked, “Aren’t you cold?”
”It’s hot to work.” Chen Qianhu said. Then he coughed a few more times.
Jiang Zefeng felt that his illness would not be cured for a while, so the two chatted for a few words, and when they were about to leave, Chen Qianhu stopped him again.
”Jiang Er.” There was a bit of hesitation on his face.
”What’s wrong?” Jiang Zefeng asked.
Chen Qianhu: “I…forget it.”
He thought for a while but didn’t say anything.
”Forget it, let’s talk if you have something to say.” Jiang Zefeng clicked his tongue, not liking others to stop speaking mid-sentence.
”It’s…your brother.” Chen Qianhu simply put down the shoulder pole first and said, “I saw him staying up late at night and running into the fields last night. What was he doing?” Jiang Zefeng paused and changed the topic
: “Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?”
Chen Qianhu said: “Pee.”
Behind Chen’s house is the latrine next to the pigsty, and behind it are the fields. He slept in a daze last night. When he got up in the middle of the night, he saw the figure on the field ridge. , almost not being frightened. After taking a closer look, I realized that it was the cheap and stupid brother picked up by the Jiang family.
Jiang Zefeng: “Oh, so is he.”
Chen Qianhu: “…”
”Maybe you are dreaming.” Jiang Zefeng said with a smile.
Chen Qianhu muttered, could it be that he had made a mistake?
He carried the water and left.
Jiang Zefeng watched him disappear and went to fetch water from the pond. He looked at his faint reflection in the water and put the bucket down.
The calm pond was suddenly rippled with waves, one inside another, and even the reflection was shattered.
Today is a cloudy day, the sky is gray and covered with clouds, which always gives people a heavy feeling. When Jiang Zefeng returned home, he heard the sound of chopping firewood inside. He wondered if it was because he heard Chen Qianhu coughing a lot just now, and his throat also felt a little itchy. , his Adam’s apple rolled a few times, and he stood outside the door for a long time before pushing the door open and entering.
The man in the yard was chopping firewood on the pier with an axe, and he was chopping firewood in a very rhythmic manner. The firewood at home was used up quickly, and the unused firewood was piled up in the corner of the kitchen.
”Brother.” He came in carrying water.
The weather has been hot and dry for a while, and the well water at home is also short of water. When there is no water, I have to go to the pond to fetch water and pour it into the tank.
He poured water into the tank. Seeing this, Gu Yinzhou came over to help, “Go to the pond?” “Well, when
I woke up in the morning, there was no water at home.” Jiang Zefeng said.
”I’ll do this kind of thing.” Gu Yinzhou frowned slightly. Jiang Zefeng didn’t know how to swim. If he fell headlong –
”I saw you weren’t awake.” Jiang Zefeng said.
Gu Yinzhou: “Put the bucket over there. I’ll go there later.”
Jiang Zefeng said “Oh” and then said, “I just met Hu Zi on the road.”
Gu Yinzhou said “Hmm” not caring much, and then heard Jiang Zefeng He said, “He said you went to the fields at midnight yesterday. Brother, what did you do?”
This seemingly unintentional question seemed to have just been heard, so he came back and asked casually, but it instantly made Gu Yinzhou’s heart skip a beat. Standing up, he glanced at Jiang Zefeng, whose eyes fell directly on him.
In the past, when Jiang Zefeng was still stupid, he was ignorant and silent. He didn’t know how to say anything when he was bullied. He didn’t have so many expressions on his face on weekdays. But now that he is no longer stupid, he seems to be a little too sharp and smart – he It’s different from the people here.
Gu Yinzhou couldn’t confirm. He asked this sentence accidentally, but he still noticed something.
”When I got up last night, I saw a wild cat running in and grabbing a piece of meat from the kitchen, so I chased it out.” Gu Yinzhou said calmly.
”Why didn’t you tell me last night?”
”I’m afraid you’ll think too much.”
Jiang Zefeng asked, “Did you catch up with me?”
Gu Yinzhou said, “No, I lost you and came back.”
He raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Zefeng’s face. .
Feeling his gaze, Jiang Zefeng tilted his head and smiled at him, “If you lose it, just throw it away. You won’t be able to eat it if you get it back.”
Gu Yinzhou breathed a sigh of relief unnoticeably.
He didn’t want to lie to Jiang Zefeng, but he couldn’t tell him what was good or bad, so he subconsciously hid it from him.
”Brother, you have nothing to hide from me, right?” He heard Jiang Zefeng ask again.
”No.” His voice was tight.
It seems that there is a first time for lying, and there will be a second time.
Jiang Zefeng said “Oh”. Gu Yinzhou avoided his eyes and asked him if he was hungry. He said he would wash the vegetables first. He took the initiative to change the topic, and Jiang Zefeng did not hold him back.
He estimated that Gu Yinzhou was not very good at lying. This kind of lie could be easily exposed at a glance.
He was convinced that Gu Yinzhou was hiding something from him, and it was by no means a trivial matter.
Why did he go to the fields? Was he going to do something or… to meet someone?
Gu Yinzhou felt the eyes on him. Jiang Zefeng did not hide it. He only felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders. He sat on the small bench in the kitchen. , choosing the lentils, pinching off the heads and tails skillfully.
As time went by, he became more and more unwilling to break the status quo.
An overly comfortable life can easily paralyze people.
The two of them looked the same as usual, but there were still some differences.
