Square Pond

  Arrival in a Different World 036, Fang Chi

  Early in the morning, Lianyi did the household chores as usual, packed a few clothes into a bundle, rolled it up, and put on her silver ticket, preparing to leave Sujiacun quietly.

  Breakfast was a consistent silence, just as they were about to finish eating, Dahu suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Su Lianwei, his eyes scrutinizing and complex, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Lianwei's heart was racing with anxiety, secretly praying that Dahu wouldn't resort to violence or directly confine her at home.

  In fact, over the past month of getting along, Da Hu has been cold and taciturn, but he has never laid a hand on her, nor has he ever interfered with anything of hers. At one point, she thought Da Hu was a good person, convincing herself to trust him and cooperate with him to the end, which would help both him and herself.

  But unfortunately, as modern people, they have long forgotten what trust is.

  In the end, Da Hu didn't say a word, changed his clothes, picked up his farm tools and left the yard.

  Su Lian sat down on the stool, letting out a long sigh. Why did she feel a sense of loss when she should have been relieved? She wanted to gain Da Hu's trust, but what she was about to give him in return was deception.

  Shaking her head, Su Liangwei ruthlessly suppressed her conscience. If one doesn't take care of oneself, heaven and earth will be destroyed. In the previous life, it was because she was too straightforward that she had such a result. If she were as indifferent as other doctors, she wouldn't have been forced to cross into this strange space-time.

  Cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks at the fastest speed, picked up the package and left, without giving myself any chance to hesitate.

  As she closed the gate, she still couldn't help but pause for a moment, looking at the "home" where she had lived for a month - the house was clean and tidy, after careful renovation, the clothes hung on the rope in the yard were clean and swaying gently in the wind, below which was a stone-paved ground cleverly pieced together, making people feel delighted, all of which were Big Tiger's masterpieces.

  A serene rural landscape, a quiet courtyard, men plowing and women weaving, joyfully harmonious. Although I know all this is just a fleeting illusion, the ripples still cannot bear to part with it.

  She came through to the most needed help, this "home" gave her a haven, at night, closing the courtyard door, home is the safest; when it was pouring rain, she and Da Hu hid in the house, sitting on a small stool eating melon seeds and leisurely enjoying the rain...

  Gritting his teeth, he steeled himself and turned to leave after closing the gate, refusing to look back. People are lazy by nature; once they have stability, they don't want to drift about again.

  "Sister, where are you going?" Su Bai, with a body full of quivering fat, ran over, still holding a piece of pork in his hand.

  People in the countryside can't eat meat every meal, some families may not even have it a few times a year. This big piece of pork must have cost Su Bai quite a bit of money.

  "What are you doing?" Ling's heart softened, but reason made it harden again.

  "Dad said that since you saved that widow, your body hasn't been good, and you've lost so much weight. Dad is heartbroken, so he specially asked me to buy some meat for you to send over and nourish your body." Su Bai always had a smiling face when facing his second sister, just like Maitreya Buddha.

  Su Lian looked at Su Bai's smiling face, then at the meat in his hand. Her heart, which had just hardened, softened again. Without thinking, she lifted her foot and kicked Su Bai, "I'm sick of your fat body, what are you eating? Hurry up and take the pork away, the farther the better."

  Su Bai didn't dare to hide, and was heavily scolded, "Sister, aren't you the one who loves to eat fatty meat the most? What's wrong with you today?"

  "My mood is not good, hurry up and get out! If you don't leave now, I won't be polite!" Liang Wei forced herself to ruthlessly drive Su Bai away, until that chubby figure left with a few steps and turned back, before she let out a sigh of relief.

  Originally intended to go to the fields and greet Sun's family, as well as Eldest Aunt's family, but Liang Wei was afraid of softening her heart, so she hardened her heart and left; Chu Yue, she didn't even dare to see.

  Finally, she left the village and got on the official road, and she also put down her mind, but didn't know whether her actions were right or wrong...

  ……

  Night falls.

  When Big Tiger returned home and saw the tightly locked gate, his heart sank heavily.

  She... left in the end.

  Pushing open the gate, I walked in and for the first time felt mentally and physically exhausted. Sitting quietly on a large stone in the courtyard, listening to the evening insect sounds, my nose caught the aroma of dinner wafting from a neighbor's house, while this courtyard, which was still brightly lit yesterday, had become pitch black today.

  He is actually not a ruthless person, if he didn't have to, he wouldn't kill anyone. He hopes to cooperate with her until the end, even if they don't become friends, at least they won't be enemies.

  She said she was going to Fangchi to buy seafood, should he still believe her? Would she come back?

  He gave her three days' time. If she came back, he vowed to respect her and befriend her. If she didn't come back...

  At this thought, Da Hu's eyes turned cold. If Su Lianhui didn't come back, the next time they met would be when he killed her, and he wouldn't show any mercy!

  The big tiger closed his eyes, but his heart was surging like a wave, unable to calm down. The conflicting emotions made him find no way to vent, and with a heavy punch, the stone under him cracked open, but at the same time, his fist was also dripping with blood. He slowly opened his eyes, which were also filled with conflict and struggle, without noticing the injury on his fist.

  The big tiger took a deep breath and suppressed the annoyance in his heart - Su Lianwei, don't give me a chance to kill you!

  ……

  Under the same sky.

  Fang Chi, Su Lian Wei really came to Fang Chi.

  Lianyi finally understood why women in ancient movies and TV shows always disguised themselves as men when they were outside. In this damned feudal society, a young woman traveling alone was extremely dangerous. Those men would gaze at her with lewd eyes when she entered a restaurant by herself, like flies buzzing around an egg, and if they found the slightest opportunity, they would pounce without hesitation.

  During dinner at the restaurant, Lianyi carefully listened to the conversations of people at nearby tables. The elderly people's conversation topics were mostly about national affairs. Although she only caught snippets, she often heard phrases like "Nan Kang Wang" and "Dong Fu Wang". This world is indeed chaotic, and Da Hu did not lie.

  In the afternoon, while strolling on the street, she always felt that someone was following her behind. In the course of an afternoon, she was inexplicably "bumped" countless times by people. Fortunately, she had previously sewn a pocket on her pants and put all the silver tickets in it, which was covered by her skirt, making it impossible for outsiders to steal easily, otherwise her silver tickets would have been stolen long ago.

  Fangchi is a small town with few people, but there are also recruitment notices posted everywhere next to the city gate tower, and people's hearts are in a state of anxiety.

  At nightfall, Su Lianwei had wanted to stay in an inn within the city walls, but after thinking it over and over again, she still didn't dare to do so. In the end, she found Zhao's second daughter's home to take shelter for the night.

  Zhao's second daughter, Yihong, was so frightened when she saw Su Lianhui at the door that her face lost its usual composure, making Lianhui feel embarrassed, and even had the idea of turning back.

  But Yihong's mother-in-law was a good person, and upon hearing that Yihong's sister from Suzhai Village had arrived, she warmly invited her in, added several dishes for dinner, and enthusiastically asked her to stay overnight.

  Yi Hong didn't dare to easily offend Su Liu Wei, after all, her parents were still in Su's village. So she entertained Su Liu Wei with a determined attitude, but unexpectedly, the female tyrant of the village not only didn't pick on her, but was instead gentle and patient, listening to her mother-in-law's chatter about family matters, and paired with her chubby appearance, she was quite lovable.

  It was late at night, and Yihong's family had all fallen asleep, but Lianyi couldn't sleep no matter what.

  She quietly left the house and sat down on a small stool in the courtyard, hugging her knees and gazing at the sky.

  In fact, she didn't have to come to Fangchi, she could go directly to Jingcheng and other places. But when she arrived at the post station to take a horse-drawn carriage, she inexplicably reported Fangchi's name. Was it her subconscious leaving herself a way out, or was there someone in that place she couldn't let go of? She didn't know.

  What Big Tiger said is right, the outside world is very chaotic. Her staying in Suzhai Village may not be bad, and leaving to go to a big city may not be good. At least, we should wait until the power struggle outside subsides.

  In the upper mysterious moon, the starlight twinkled. Because of this decision, Su Lianwei not only didn't feel a bit lost, but on the contrary, as if she had thrown off a heavy burden, her pink lips slightly curved up, and her round big eyes slowly narrowed into a fan shape.

  Su Bai, does it still hurt where you kicked me?

  Xiao Ying, if she finds out she's not at home, will she cry?

  Is Auntie Sun holding little Sun Jin while he sleeps at this time?

  What if Big Aunt knew she was at Second Sister's house, would she be happy?

  And... Big Tiger, what is Big Tiger doing now?
