"where?"
Tang Zhou turned his head tentatively, still remaining very vigilant.
"Over there?"
Yu Shan pointed to the left. Although Tang Zhou was standing opposite him, he seemed to not be able to see his outstretched hand. He couldn't help but waved his hand towards Tang Zhou again. Seeing that he still didn't respond, he finally confirmed that it was Tang Zhou. eyes cannot see.
"I-I'll get it for you, don't... don't worry."
Just now, he was frightened by Tang Zhou's darkened face. Now he knew that Tang Zhou couldn't see, and Yu Shan was relieved. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would suffer. Tang Zhou looked not easy to mess with.
The room was small, so he reached the table in two steps and held a few things.
"Here, here you go."
Yu Shan stretched out his hand, but his body still shrank back in fear.
When Tang Zhou took the things and touched the familiar bag of sugar, his heart dropped slightly. He didn't care about the bag of silver. As for the other letter... he couldn't see it, and he was even more puzzled.
"What's written on the envelope?" he asked.
Yu Shan took two steps back, feeling embarrassed and said, "I don't know that either. I can't read. Only the village chief in our village can read."
Tang Zhou didn't reply before he finished speaking, only to watch him slowly bring the letter to his nose and smell it.
Immediately, he raised his eyelids and seemed to smell something.
It's the scent of lily of the valley.
Shen Zhixi likes this taste, and most of the powders he usually uses are of this taste.
So he understood that this letter was from Shen Zhixi.
"Excuse me..." He spoke again, his tone no longer as sharp as before, "I would like your village chief to come and help me read this letter."
As he spoke, he threw away the bag of silver in his hand as a thank you.
Yu Shan hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, but didn't dare to take it back.
He had opened it before and saw that there were some pieces of silver inside, as well as many large ingots and even banknotes. Not to mention ingots, even a piece of silver is enough for a family like theirs to spend more than half a year.
"I'll just run for you. It's not far anyway."
Yu Shan confiscated the money and put it back on the table intact. He didn't save people for money in the first place. He just didn't want to die without saving people, which would save him from peace of mind in the future.
Turning around and opening the door, the villagers standing at the door almost fell in. Yu Shan pushed them all away and left quickly from the door, his steps hurried and anxious. When he brought the village chief back, Tang Zhou was sitting in front of the bed, sweating profusely on his forehead.
When he raised his head, his face didn't look good, it was frighteningly white.
"Sir, I have invited our village chief over so that I can read the letter to you."
The village chief is about the same age as Yu Shan. He is not as honest as Yu Shan, and his eyes are wiser.
"Excuse me." Tang Zhou stood up and passed over the letter in his hand.
The village chief took the letter and replied, "It's a small matter, no trouble."
Then he took the letter, looked it back and forth, and replied: "The recipient's name is not written on this envelope. Let me open it and take a look..."
I opened the letter and took out the letter paper. There were two pages in total.
The village chief held the letter, looked down from top to bottom, glanced at Tang Zhou, and then began to read according to the words on the letter.
“Karabune…”
The first two words on the letter were Tang Zhou's name.
"Your name is Tang Zhou, right?" the village chief asked.
"Yes, it's me."
Tang Zhou's eyebrows were furrowed, and while his expression was serious, it could be seen that he was a little nervous.
The village chief said "Oh", cleared his throat and continued reading.
"Tang Zhou, I'm sorry to say goodbye to you in this way, if not..."
Before he could read a few sentences, Tang Zhou abruptly interrupted him and said, "You read it wrong."
He used an extremely positive tone, and even though his eyes were cold, it was not because of the words in the letter, but because he believed that the village chief had read it wrong or deliberately lied to him. He did not believe that Shen Zhixi would write such a letter.
He and Shen Zhixi had only been married for a few months, and Shen Zhixi was his wife.
Of course he trusts his wife more!
"I didn't... I didn't read it wrong. That's how the letter was written, and it's not a rare word. How could I have read it wrong? I didn't..."
The village chief argued loudly, but Tang Zhou's expression was so firm that it even made him suspicious. He wondered whether he had really read it wrong because of his mistake. He hurriedly lowered his head to look again, but he carefully checked several times. The result is still the same, he just read it correctly.
"Sir, I read it correctly."
"Did you read that correctly?" Tang Zhou sneered, but still didn't believe it. "My wife and I have been married for less than two months. I made an agreement with her yesterday. How could she suddenly say goodbye to me?"
He believed in Shen Zhixi no matter what he said.
In this unfamiliar situation, he was more willing to believe that everything was a conspiracy of these people.
"This... how can I know this? Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Maybe you will know the result after reading the letter. Master, don't be anxious. At least let me finish reading the letter first."
Tang Zhou didn't say anything after hearing this, and he agreed, but his face became even whiter.
Seeing that he calmed down, the village chief felt relieved and continued reading the letter.
"If not, I really don't know how to face you. I have a thousand words to say, but the one thing I want to say the most is, forget about me. You told me before that the bad-tempered Orion is not my lover. , but in fact, I am not the real good man, I lied to you, I'm sorry."
Halfway through reading, the village chief stopped and carefully looked at Tang Zhou's face.
Tang Zhou's face tightened, as if he had lost his breath.
"Sir, are you okay..."
"Keep reading." Tang Zhou swallowed nervously, and slowly clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.
The village chief immediately lowered his head and continued reading.
"I am not from Yanzhou, I come from other provinces, and that bamboo house is not my home but an abandoned house that I happened to find. My sister and I simply cleaned it up and used it as our temporary residence. We have only been here for half a year, and it is even more unexpected to meet you. Not only these, but many things are fake. Orion, aunt, and member Liu are all fake. The so-called aunt is just an invitation from me. The reason why I came here to act is because I'm interested in you."
The village chief paused again and looked at Tang Zhou's face.
He just felt that this letter was so scary. The things written in it were so outrageous that he didn't dare to read any more.
Not to mention the person involved, Tang Zhou, his face was like solidified sand, his whole body was sealed, there was no blood at all, and he didn't even blink his eyes. If he was lying down, he would be mistaken for himself...
After a long while, he said one word, "Read."
"Hey, I'll continue reading then." The village chief glanced back and forth between the letter paper and Tang Zhou. He was always worried that Tang Zhou would not be able to hold on and would not be able to speak out the words after opening his mouth several times.
Tang Zhou sensed his concern and said coldly, "Just think about it. I can judge whether it is true or not."
