The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 265 Selfishness
The sky is getting brighter.

A new snow began to fall again.

Zhu Juanjuan sat on the steps of his house for a while, his hands and feet were cold.

All kinds of things in my mind are kneaded into a mess, no matter how hard I try, it is futile.

The snow seemed to be competing with her, and it fell obliquely, whitening her hair, shoulders and eyelashes.

Qilan looked a little sad.

"My sister is very pitiful in the cold. If the second brother saw it, he would wrap it tightly in a coat."

As a wanted person by the whole city, he is very cautious now, for fear of falling into the net arranged by Sergeant Liu.

I looked around several times to make sure there was no suspicious person coming, and then approached quietly as a passerby.

Zhu Juanjuan was still burying her head and rubbing her hands while thinking about something, but unexpectedly, she was facing the steps, and suddenly there was a rustling sound.

It turned out to be a dirty person.

His face was like salted duck eggs and preserved eggs, with one yellow, one black, one gray and one white.

Her hair was disheveled and covered most of her face.Clothes are also worn out.

The smell of pickles coming from the pavement made her cover her mouth quickly so she didn't spit it out.

The figure also paced back and forth in front of her, which annoyed her.

"It must be refugees who fled the countryside and went to the city."

"He shouldn't take advantage of the lack of people to grab money."

Thinking of this, Juanjuan felt a little sympathetic and a little timid, and reached into the bag to find the little money left.

A total of five silver dollars.

She took one of them, stood up, walked slowly behind the "refugee", and begged in a low voice:

"Here's a silver dollar. Here it is. Leave me alone."

Qilan's feet paused, no wonder she didn't move for a long time, she regarded him as a beggar.

He could only sit in front of her in embarrassment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Sister Juanjuan, it's me, I didn't come to ask you for money."

She recognized Qilan's voice, and took a closer look at the "beggar" sitting in front of her, and realized that she was really confused.

He actually took Qilan, whom he finally met, as a beggar, and was wary of him robbing him.

"Woooooo-"

She choked on her words and just cried out restrainedly.

Qilan saw someone on the side of the road coming to watch the excitement, so she hurriedly reminded her from three feet away:

"Sister, let's talk in another place."

"Come with me."

Zhu Juanjuan cried softly for a few minutes, and also realized that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and quickly disappeared at the intersection of the street with Qilan.

Only half an hour after they left here, a team of plainclothes arrived in a hurry, armed with tools, and spent a whole morning prying open the door of Zhu's house.
Qilan walked fast.As he walked, he wondered where it was safe.

Juanjuan's legs and feet were weak, and it took a lot of strength to barely keep up.

They didn't dare to communicate with each other along the way, they just bowed their heads and kept a distance like strangers.

He didn't dare to drink water or eat, for fear that there would be an ambush in the roadside shop.

Finally, at dusk, both of them walked until the soles of their shoes were worn out, and before they knew it, they came to a new school that had just been built.

"Qilan, this is where I work."

Zhu Juanjuan saw that the school's side door was still open, and there was a smile on his face.

"Let's go in quickly."

Qilan looked back to make sure that no one was following, so she was a little relieved.

He followed her into the side door and followed her upstairs.

Zhu Juanjuan never thought of living in the school, but the current situation forced her to have a home.

The school's conditions in all aspects are still very rudimentary, and the student dormitory has not yet been furnished. It was just that the classrooms and playground were closed a few years ago.

Apart from the teachers, only three or five people were left busy in the school.

Even the cafeteria is not open.Can only cook for myself.

It is naturally difficult for Juan to adapt to the environment here.She finally found someone to give her a small empty room as a temporary residence.

Qilan saw her hugging a half-new quilt, and quickly reached out to pick it up.

"Sister, I'll make the bed. I used to make this kind of quilt in school."

When the two arrived at the door of the empty room, they were both stunned.

Wherever a bed needs to be made, there is none.

There are no windows either.

In the end, Qilan neatly folded the four corners of the quilt evenly, making it into a bunk, which is regarded as a place to sleep.

In such a small place, the two of them could only sit and chat.

"Sister, when did you and Brother Xingyuan go to the police station?"

She thought for a while, "I received a call from Sergeant Liu. The third brother should go out later than me."

Talking about Xingyuan, Zhu Juanjuan began to feel sad again.

"I'm still alive, third brother."

As she spoke, she became a little incoherent, and became emotional:
"Third Brother, he was killed by Sergeant Liu."

She hugged her knees with her hands, sobbing and crying.

Seeing this, Qilan hurriedly approached her ear, and whispered:
"He's not dead, Chen Xing and I rescued him in the southern river in the early morning."

Hearing the word "not dead", Juanjuan immediately stopped crying.

Seeing that her mood was still fluctuating, Qilan continued to whisper:

"Brother Xingyuan is in the big hospital to the west, and Dr. Zhang's friend is helping to take care of him."

"Thank you," she finally smiled.

Qilan also heaved a sigh of relief.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally found a chance to ask about Lin Mi:
"Sister, I vaguely heard what the man at your door just said to you."

"Who is the lady he wants to ask you about?"

Zhu Juanjuan never thought that Qilan would have any relationship with Lin Mi, so he thought it was a casual question, so he said:

"I don't know that lady very well. I met her and my father had nowhere to go on the road, so I temporarily took her in for two nights."

"They probably left my house last night."

Spreading his hands, he shook his head and said, "Everywhere is home."

Qilan: "..."

Originally, I wanted to inquire about Lin Mi's situation, so it would be better not to ask such an answer.

Zhu Juanjuan originally helped Lin Mi and his daughter out of sympathy.

But the appearance of a button made her have to reflect on whether her words and deeds were inappropriate.

The owner of this button is undoubtedly the beautiful boy who has been on his mind for more than half a month.

But he is Lin Mi's fiancé.

Juanjuan thought about it carefully, didn't Huaxia Hotel hold two large-scale wedding banquets that day?

One belongs to the eldest brother Boyuan, and the other belongs to the Lin family. Since it is a wedding banquet, then they are legally married.

However, Lin Mi personally told her yesterday that the man was her cousin, not her husband.
Is there something hidden in it?

Qilan didn't realize that, out of selfishness, Zhu Juanjuan was reluctant to bring up the matter of Lin Mi's father and daughter with him.

Seeing that she was silent again after a brief moment of joy, he thought it was because she was tired and hungry.

"My legs hurt a little, go out and eat enough, and then help me bring back something to eat and wash my hair and face."

After she finished speaking, she handed over the money in the bag to Qilan,

He took off the scarf, folded it into a cube and laid it flat to make a makeshift pillow.

It seems that you can really fall asleep when you lie down.

The sensible Qilan stopped bothering her, helped her lie down, and went shopping.

As soon as his front foot was gone, Juan Juan couldn't sit still.

She felt that there was no window in the room and it was too suffocating, so she put her shoes on her feet and continued to be in a daze in the corridor.
