Tongzhuang

I thought I would never see Rui Ge again.Unexpectedly, only a few days later, I saw her again.

It was she who came to me.

As usual, I went out to buy vegetables early in the morning, and opened the backyard door to go out, and she came out from the alley.

"Brother Han."

"Ruige!" Seeing her suddenly, my first reaction was surprise, and I rushed to grab her.But she gently avoided my hand, "Brother Han."

Only then did I realize that she looked haggard and pale.She has always had a clear and bright voice and a bright smile, but today... Looking into her eyes, my heart suddenly ached.

"Ruige, what's the matter? What happened! Have you been bullied?" I couldn't help asking loudly.

Ruige's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, finally raised his eyes to look at me, and said softly: "Brother Han, I'm here to say goodbye to you, I'm leaving tomorrow...I can't take it anymore..."

She looked dazed, and I was anxious, "Rige! What's the matter? Why can't you tell me! Who bullied you?"

She shook her head slowly, a smile appeared on her pale face, "Don't ask any more."

"Why!" I was flustered, I gritted my teeth suddenly, and stared at her, "I know! I know this person! Right?"

Ruige's expression changed slightly, even though it was only a little bit, I still saw it!I grabbed her: "Who is it?"

She broke away from me and turned away.

"Ruige!" My heart was on fire, "You tell me! No matter who it is, even if he is the emperor, I will try my best to never abandon you!"

To my surprise, she stopped, turned around, and looked at me with a pair of beautiful black pupils for a long time. "...Will you come with me?"

Looking into her eyes, I felt a shock and a pain in my heart, almost without a moment's hesitation. "I am willing! I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do!"

I'll never forget what Rigo looked like then.She slowly broke into a smile, and there was a layer of water in her bright eyes: "Okay...wait for me at Feiyan Pavilion at Shenshi tomorrow..." The last two words were so light that they could almost float away with the wind, and she didn't turn her head back into the depths of the alley.

I was dazed and stood where I was.

There were footsteps behind me, and someone tapped me.I turned around, it was my brother.He asked suspiciously: "My dear brother, why are you standing here in a daze?"

He raised his eyes and saw Rui Ge's back far away at the end of the alley. "Isn't that Miss Rigo?"

I watched her disappear and froze.

"Brother Chun," the eldest brother supported me, "What's wrong with you? Still can't let go? She hates the poor and loves the rich and doesn't want you, so why do you still meet her and ask for trouble?"

"No..." I muttered to myself, "No..." Rui Ge will be safe, nothing will happen to her, no!

The eldest brother sighed, and helped me to walk back, "Forget it, don't think about it anymore! I told you that women in brothels are capricious, it's not worth—"

I was suddenly annoyed, threw him away, and shouted at him: "Rige is a good girl, I like her!"

The eldest brother was stunned, his face turned red and then pale, looked at me for a long time, and left.

I slumped down.Ruige... Ruige...Seeing her gaze, I felt an extremely ominous premonition in my heart.

She must have been persecuted and tortured.Who is forcing her?

— a man I know.Her expression gave it to me.

Who?

Ruige is arrogant and arrogant, and has offended many people. Some local bullies were rejected by her and held grudges against her.Is it Fang Dongshan's group?But they still haven't come out of the prison in the county government; the elder brother also had a quarrel with her, but he only teased her a few times, there was no deep hatred, and the elder brother never liked to deal with her; could it be an ordinary drinker?At most, they coveted her beauty, but they haven't been able to make Rui Ge dare not tell, after all, Rui Ge is also a majestic oiran...

Could it be, could it be him?

Yes, he forced Ruige to be a concubine last time, and he was the only one holding the handle on the girls in the brothel, letting him blackmail him as he wished...

After all the calculations, among the people I know, only he can do such a thing!

...No mistake, it must be him!

I jumped up and rushed out.

When I arrived at Tongzhuang, I was stopped by the gatekeepers. I pushed them away and knocked on the door desperately: "Call Qi Feng out! Let him come out to see me!"

I kept shouting, but they had no choice but to go in and report.

When Qi Feng came out and saw me, she was a little surprised, and then said coldly: "What's the matter?"

I rushed up and grabbed his clothes, angrily: "Is that you? What did you do to Rui Ge?"

"What are you doing!" He frowned and waved my hand away.

"Aside from you, who else wants to embarrass Rui Ge? How much hatred does she have against you? Let me tell you, if you dare to hurt her, I will not let you go!"

Qi Feng's face was extremely ugly, he paused for a while, and sneered: "Can you control what I do to her? She is a little bitch, she is nothing, if I want her to disappear, she has to disappear! "

I was trembling with anger: "Qi Feng! You are vicious and despicable! I used to treat you as a friend, but I was blind..."

Qi Feng's face was very scary, but he went back to the village without saying a word.I wanted to chase, but the two Zhuang Ding pushed me out roughly.

I fell to the ground, saw the two doors slammed shut in front of me, and slowly clenched my hands, filled with anger and desolation.

--------------------------------

Before the application time came, I waited at the Feiyan Pavilion near the city gate.I packed all my things, just a bag with some clothes and strings of money inside.Today my eldest brother went out to Fu Xiangye's house, I couldn't wait to bid him farewell, leaving only a letter.Although he is a bit stubborn and pedantic, he has always cared about me and valued me. I am ashamed of him.

Rui Ge wants me to go with her, then I will accompany her and protect her even if I risk my life!When I meet her, I must ask her clearly. No matter how terrible things are, I also want to know.

For some reason, thinking of the word "terrible", a slight chill rose from the soles of my feet.I stomped my feet, it is early winter, most of the trees in the street have some dead branches left, and there are a few yellow leaves hanging on the branches, fluttering in the north wind.I looked anxiously at the sun, and stared at the street with wide eyes, hoping to see Rigo.

A quarter of an hour passed, and another quarter of an hour passed...

There are fewer people on the street, the sky is getting darker, the cold wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it is also mixed with bits and pieces of winter rain.

It was already the third quarter of Shen Shi, and Rui Ge hadn't appeared yet.

I almost wanted to run to find her, but I didn't dare to leave.He could only desperately keep his eyes wide open, looking for Rui Ge among the pedestrians one after another in the dim light.

Large thick dark clouds piled up layer by layer, and the wind became colder and colder. I rubbed my hands and walked back and forth anxiously.There are no pedestrians nearby, and the city gate will be closed at Youshi.

Rigo isn't coming?Why doesn't she come?Could it be——she lied to me?As soon as the thought came to me, I quickly dismissed it.No, she won't!She will come, I will wait until she tells me everything.

The rain was getting heavier, and the vision became more blurred in the twilight.It was cold and rainy, and there was no one on the broad street.The soldiers guarding the city clapped their hands and complained a few words, and at the time of You, they closed the two city gates!

I was cold all over and stood in the pavilion helplessly.

Rigo!Why did you miss the appointment?The sky has been completely dark, neither stars nor moon are seen, only the sound of wind.

I gritted my teeth and decided to go to Zhanchunlou to find her right away!As soon as he lifted his foot, a beam of lantern light came over——
