Chapter 2798: Justice of the Heroine
"Hey, it's a nice day, why is it windy?"
It was a rare sunny and warm afternoon, so Shi Li brought Mingzhu to the yard to bask in the sun and tied a pair of tinkling bells on her little hands and feet.
But after a while, the good weather turned into a strong wind, and the sky became gloomy. Shi Li could only hold Mingzhu and go back to the house. When she stepped into the door, she looked up at the sky again.
"Is the sky going to change?"
Little did she know, this remote town had welcomed some uninvited guests.
This is Jiang Qingshuang's second time here.
The last time I came here was to get the sword manual back, so I was focused on that task. Until I saw Shi Li again, my heart seemed to be stirred.
There was surprise, unexpectedness, and a hint of joy.
He thought Shi Li still secretly loved him, so she pretended to meet him here by chance.
But he met Jingzhe soon. Even though he and Shi Li could not communicate with words, the invisible tacit understanding between them was obvious to all.
Jiang Qingshuang couldn't describe the feeling of loss in her heart, as if something that should have belonged to her was completely lost.
My heart feels astringent and even a little bitter.
This time the elder asked him to go down the mountain. He could have taken another route, but he somehow came here again. Until he arrived in the town, he still didn't know what to do.
Standing on the busy street, I suddenly saw a few people dressed in southern Xinjiang style.
They all looked ferocious, especially the young man in the lead, whose eyes were like poisonous snakes, making anyone who stared at them shudder.
Jiang Qingshuang watched coldly, and suddenly remembered that the young man next to Shi Li also seemed to be from southern Xinjiang. She couldn't help but frowned, looking at the group of ferocious people, wondering if there was any connection between the two sides.
After struggling for a while, Jiang Qingshuang stayed at the only inn in the town. As luck would have it, a few people from southern Xinjiang lived next door to him.
It was a pity that he couldn't understand their daily conversations, so he didn't know why they came to such a remote town.
The next morning, Shi Li walked out the door and found a few strange insects on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, several worms were completely dead, with their bellies exposed on the ground, and they actually looked somewhat pitiful.
At first, Shi Li thought that they were the poisonous insects that Jingzhe had failed to refine, and thought to herself, why did he just throw them at the door like that? Wasn’t he afraid that she would be angry?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Shi Li simply rushed into Jingzhe's room, dragged out the young man who was only wearing a snow-white shirt, and let him see for himself what he had done.
Unexpectedly, Jingzhe, who had a gentle and helpless look on his face, suddenly changed his expression after seeing the insects on the ground. There was no longer any relaxation on his face, but instead a solemn look.
Shi Li looked at his face and instantly realized that she had wronged him.
"Not you?"
Jingzhe did not answer directly, but leaned down to look at the insects more closely, and even reached out and picked up one of them.
Although she wasn't afraid, Shi Li didn't like those bugs at all, so she naturally took a step back.
Jingzhe reacted and immediately threw away a few insects, then put his hands behind his back.
"You handle it, I'll go back to the house for a while." Shi Li couldn't bear to watch it anymore and simply hid back in the house.
After waiting for a while, Jingzhe knocked on the door and walked in after getting her permission.
He even washed his hands and walked into the house and came to Shi Li's side.
"Is it the poison from southern Xinjiang?" Shi Li sighed and looked up to ask.
Jingzhe did not hide it from her, but nodded frankly.
He knew where those insects came from at a glance, and the appearance of those insects even reminded him of some things from the past.
But now facing Shi Li, he found it hard to speak. These were not good experiences and he was ashamed to let Shi Li know.
In fact, I am also afraid.
I’m afraid that after Shi Li finds out, she will change her attitude towards him, or even... I’m afraid that Shi Li will hate him.
In fact, his mind has told him that Shi Li would not be like that, but he still couldn't help but worry and didn't want to say it out loud. He would rather pretend that he didn't remember anything.
After all, Jingzhe had acted so honestly and harmlessly before, Shi Li did not suspect that he was not telling her the truth. Instead, she frowned and whispered, "Should we strike first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jingzhe held her hand.
He looked at Shi Li and shook his head seriously.
He didn't want Shi Li to know about these dirty things related to his past, and he didn't want her to worry.
Shi Li looked at him for a while, and finally compromised reluctantly.
"Okay, if you don't want to, forget it. I hope they take care of themselves, otherwise I'm not a good man."
Jingzhe seemed to be amused. He lowered his head and put his face on the back of Shili's hand, being so well-behaved, unlike himself.
He just lowered his eyes, hiding the undercurrent in his eyes.
