Siheyuan: Kill Jia Dongxu at the beginning and kill the deaf old lady

Especially recently, Lu Ning has become more respectful to him, and his words are full of respect and admiration. This attitude has changed so quickly, as if the once naughty child has turned into a polite adult overnight.

This change made Yi Zhonghai feel uneasy.

Every time Lu Ning greeted him respectfully, Yi Zhonghai's heart would jump into his throat.

An old saying always comes to my mind: "When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong."

One evening, Yi Zhonghai was sitting in the yard basking in the sun. Lu Ning walked gently up to him with a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "Uncle Yi, you've worked hard. Have a cup of tea and take a rest." Yi Zhonghai looked up and took the cup of tea, but he was wondering what Lu Ning meant.

He picked up the teacup and smelled it. The fragrance of tea was everywhere, but Yi Zhonghai felt that there seemed to be some indescribable taste hidden in the tea fragrance.

"Thank you, Xiaoning." Yi Zhonghai forced a smile, "You have been very diligent recently."

Lu Ning still looked humble and said in a low voice: "It's my duty. You are my elder and it's my duty to take care of you." After that, he stood aside, quietly waiting for Yi Zhonghai's reaction.

Yi Zhonghai put down his teacup, frowned, and said, "Xiaoning, just tell me what you want to say. You don't have to be so polite."

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uncle Yi, you misunderstood. I'm really fine. I just think you usually worry too much about everyone, so I should share more of your burden."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt even more uneasy.

Nodding, he forced a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm glad you have this in mind."

In the following days, Lu Ning's "respectfulness" became more and more obvious, almost to the point of being meticulous.

No matter where Yi Zhonghai went or what he did, he could always see Lu Ning's attentive figure.

Every time they met, Lu Ning would greet them warmly, as if he was afraid of missing any opportunity to express his respect.

This made Yi Zhonghai even more uneasy.

Xu Damao stood in front of the simple projection stand in the countryside and looked at Qin Jingru with mixed feelings.

She was wearing simple clothes, but her face could not hide a trace of sadness.

Xu Damao couldn't help but feel sad. The woman in front of him had lived a glorious life in the courtyard, but now she was stranded in the countryside.

Jingru, come back with me to the courtyard, the conditions there are better and life will be easier." Xu Damao said tentatively, with a hint of pleading in his voice.

Qin Jingru lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him with a hint of fear in her eyes: "Da Mao, I... I'm afraid of meeting Lu Ning again. He's too scary there.

I don’t want to go through that again.”

Xu Damao's heart sank, he knew what Qin Jingru said was true.

Lu Ning, this name brought them too much pain and memories.

But looking at Qin Jingru like this, he couldn't bear to let her stay in this remote village.

"Jingru, Lu Ning...he has been arrested, you don't have to be afraid of him anymore." Xu Damao comforted her, but he knew that such comfort was a bit empty. After all, the shadow of the past cannot be dispelled so easily.

Qin Jingru pursed her lips, was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Da Mao, I know you are doing this for my own good, but...but I am really scared, I...I don't know if I can face all that."

Xu Damao sighed, he didn't know what else to say.

Standing in the evening breeze in the countryside, the surroundings are so quiet that it seems as if time has stood still.

Xu Damao felt that he was trapped in an unsolvable dilemma. He was unwilling to give up, but also unable to force Qin Jingru.

"Jingru, do you know that everyone in the courtyard misses you very much and they often mention you.

Every time my aunt sees me, she asks me when I can come back. "Xu Damao hopes to evoke her memories of the good old days through these words.

Qin Jingru's eyes flashed with emotion when she heard this, but were soon overwhelmed by fear. "Da Mao, I know everyone is nice to me, but... I'm really afraid of Lu Ning. His eyes seem to be able to see through people."

Xu Damao nodded. He understood her fear. It was a shadow that went deep into her bones and could not be erased by a few words of comfort.

He thought for a while and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Jingru, if...if I find a safe place for you in the courtyard so that you don't have to face everyone every day, what do you think? This way you can slowly adapt and don't have to worry about Lu Ning." Xu Damao suggested cautiously.

Qin Jingru looked up at him, with a hint of hesitation and expectation in her eyes. "Really? Damao, can you really do it?"

Xu Damao nodded heavily: "I will definitely do it.

Jingru, I won't let you get hurt again. "

Qin Jingru bit her lip, struggled for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, Damao, I believe you."

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face: "Jingru, believe me, we will be fine."

That night, the two sat on the grass in the countryside. Xu Damao described to her the new changes in the courtyard and told her about the neighbors, as if everything was still as beautiful as before.

As Qin Jingru listened, the fear in her heart was gradually replaced by warmth, and she began to yearn for the place she once was familiar with.

The next day, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru set out on the journey back to the city.

Along the way, Qin Jingru was a little nervous, but Xu Damao was always by her side, constantly giving her confidence and courage.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xu Damao deliberately chose an inconspicuous entrance so that Qin Jingru could quietly return to her own cabin.

The neighbors in the courtyard were a little surprised to see Xu Damao coming back, but they were even more shocked and delighted to see him bringing Qin Jingru with him.

"Jingru is back! Jingru is back!" The news spread quickly in the courtyard, and everyone came over to greet her and asked about her situation with concern.

Qin Jingru was a little overwhelmed, but Xu Damao stood beside her and blocked most of her enthusiasm. "Everyone, let Jingru rest for a while. She just came back and needs time to adapt."

Everyone nodded in understanding, said a few words of blessing, and let Qin Jingru enter the house.

The house was still the same as when she left. Xu Damao had been helping her take care of it. Looking at everything familiar, Qin Jingru's heart finally settled down a little.

Xu Damao arranged a remote hut for her so that she could slowly adapt to life in the courtyard.

He would come to see her every day, bringing her some fresh fruits and vegetables, and sometimes some gossip about the courtyard, making her feel that she was not alone.

As the days passed, Qin Jingru gradually adapted to life in the courtyard.
