Chapter 136 137. Footsteps
Huo Ying may not have noticed it herself, but Jiang Huai could clearly see the nostalgia in her eyes.His steps stopped in an instant.

Just as Jiang Huai was thinking about the chances of not being kicked out if he had the cheek to go into Huo's mansion to grab a meal, he heard footsteps coming from his side, and the next second, the man coughed.

Jiang Huai and Huo Ying looked at the direction of the voice at the same time.It was only then that the two discovered that the man was Huo Yuanzheng!
Jiang Huai: ╯□╰
Huo Ying:〃〃

"Father." In front of her father, Huo Ying quickly calmed down and nodded solemnly.

"Uncle Huo." Jiang Huai saluted unhurriedly, like a polite junior, who couldn't tell at all that he was thinking of going to someone else's house for dinner just now.

Huo Yuanzheng walked over slowly with his hands behind his back: "Yes."

He looked at Jiang Huai: "How did my daughter meet Jiang Shizi?"

In front of Huo Yuanzheng, Jiang Huai automatically recovered his calm appearance.He said calmly: "I went out for a walk today, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Huo by chance."

He still used the same excuse as before.In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to use a better excuse to deceive Huo Yuanzheng, but that he knew that he couldn't be deceived at all.Huo Yuanzheng has met more people than his age.

But he couldn't say frankly: because I want to hook up with your daughter.Jiang Huai felt that if he really said that today, let alone having dinner at the Huo Mansion, he might not even be able to eat the food in the Xuanping Hou Mansion today.

So, it's better to just say an excuse that is passable on the surface, but everyone can understand.At least in Huo Yuanzheng's heart, he can be regarded as honest.

"Hmm." Huo Yuanzheng was noncommittal.Can you go for a walk to the suburbs?Just like what Jiang Huai thought, Huo Yuanzheng could see his careful thoughts at a glance, so the enthusiasm he usually saw when he saw Jiang Huai was gone, and he only hummed from his nasal cavity.

Jiang Huai: ...

Jiang Huai looked at his nose, nose and heart, not daring to speak.

No matter whether this kid is honest or concealed, he can't hide his desire to hook up with his daughter.Thinking of this, Huo Yuanzheng took a cool look at Jiang Huai: "Senior Jiang has also been delivered, so go back quickly. Otherwise, it will be dark."

Jiang Huai:!
He knew that Huo Yuanzheng should be indifferent to him, so he responded with a smile: "Uncle is right, I'll go first." Facing Huo Ying's gaze, Jiang Huai instantly changed his face and became pitiful Xixi.

Huo Ying was helpless.She herself felt that today was too out of line, and she was not sure how long her father had watched them.After all, Huo Ying was aware of the expression on her face when she said goodbye to Jiang Huai just now... She was feeling guilty, so she could only smile comfortingly at Jiang Huai and wave her hands at him.

Jiang Huai was satisfied.

He bid farewell to Huo Yuanzheng politely: "It's getting late, come visit Uncle Huo another day."

When Jiang Huai's back gradually walked away, Huo Yuanzheng snorted, gave Huo Ying a resentful look, and went into the mansion.

Huo Ying: ...

Huo Ying can only be thankful that the marks on her mouth and earlobes should be gone.Otherwise... Huo Ying dare not imagine.

When they first stayed underground for a while, they felt fine.Gradually, they couldn't stand it any longer.

Here, there is no entertainment.What's more, the most frightening thing is that this place is underground, and they can't feel the passage of the underground at all.

That day, several little girls couldn't bear it and started crying.Lufeng and Bai Churan sat together, listening silently.

In order to prevent boredom, the two talked about their own experiences.

There is nothing to tell about Bai Churan's experience. She finished the description in a few words, looked at Lu Feng and said, "It's very cliche, right? You must have heard such stories a lot?"

Lufeng looked at Bai Churan's smiling face, and didn't know what to say for a moment.The person in front of him was clearly smiling, but his eyes were full of sadness, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

It's not cliché either.Her father is a typical person who is backward in his family, ambitious, unwilling to face reality, and always thinking of taking shortcuts to restore his previous life.Such a person, at best, has a high spirit, at worst, they just cannot see reality clearly.

However, it was obviously his fault, but his daughter had to bear it all.

She struggled for a moment, then gently reached out and stroked the top of Bai Churan's head.The strength of the green wind is very gentle, as if afraid of disturbing something.Unfortunately, the fragile butterfly was still disturbed.

Bai Churan blinked, her eyelids were like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.In the next second, a string of teardrops slid down her face abruptly.

Lu Feng sighed softly, and comforted: "It's okay, they are all crying, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry, it's not ashamed."

Bai Churan was blinking hard at first, trying to blink back the tears.Hearing Lufeng's words, tears still fell into her eyes after all, she threw herself on Lufeng and burst into tears.

"I..." Bai Churan choked up and said, "I'm obviously working hard to make money. That night, I was about to finish a large area of ​​embroidery, and it cost a lot of money. He actually couldn't wait for such a little time."

She still clearly remembered that at that time she was using gold thread and was inlaying gold borders on the embroidered pattern as required.When her father announced the news that she was going to be sold, the needle in her hand fell and touched the embroidered mandarin duck pattern.

From that moment on, she never had a father again.

Lu Feng's hand was hanging in the air, he wanted to let it go but couldn't, he struggled for a long time, seeing her crying more and more, then he let it go, and gently patted Bai Churan's back.

She didn't know how to comfort people, so she could only repeat over and over again: "Cry, it's okay." Crying is a kind of catharsis.In many cases, it is easier to let go after venting.

Just as Bai Churan was crying, the two of them suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.Green Wind held his breath vigilantly.Bai Churan raised her head in a daze. She thought she was hallucinating, but she didn't expect to hear obvious talking and laughing in the next moment.Most importantly, it was still a man's voice.

Green Wind frowned.Logically speaking, this day has not passed yet, and now it is at most dusk.According to the custom of this store, there should be no movement tomorrow?

Other people heard the voice one after another, and for a while, the woman's crying stopped.

Lu Feng didn't dare to make any noise rashly, she pulled Bai Churan tighter and listened quietly.

It was a man who came outside, and there was more than one man.

Lufeng heard someone ask: "Didn't the door open tomorrow? Why did you allow me to come in today?"

The person who seemed to be Xiaoer explained: "Today's situation is special. Besides, what is the status of others, and what is your status as an adult. If you want it, there is no reason for us not to agree."

The man said with satisfaction: "You guys are acquainted." Then, he laughed twice, as if he was very happy.

"My lord, you can choose whatever you want."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

As the footsteps approached, Bai Churan was so frightened that she didn't dare to vent her anger.Then, they heard that footsteps stopped in the next room.
