[Zhan Zhaotongren] Hongchen

Chapter 40 The So-Called Hope

On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao sat in front of Zhan Zhao's horse, while Xiaohong was led by Zhuiming.

Because they were all men, the wound on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder and back was treated briefly. Zhan Zhao chose to return to Kaifeng Mansion as quickly as possible, while the others finished up later.

Pang Tong said in front of Zhan Zhao's horse, I will send someone to take it back to where it came from.This made Su Xiaoxiao a lot more at ease. I don't know why she believed in him. Pang Tong would definitely do what he said.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao glanced back, the captured leopard had lost its luster in its big moist eyes.

Imprisoned, injured, and...what else, Su Xiaoxiao feels very discouraged, what on earth is she here for?

She glanced at it, and then leaned on Zhan Zhao's shoulder. Some things may not be changed by herself even if she works hard.

Zhan Zhao's back was stiff, but he didn't hide. Su Xiaoxiao was wearing a light green gown today, and the blood behind her was a bit dazzling after it dried.

It was extremely quiet along the way, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't hear any sound, except the sound of horseshoes.

After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, she was directly sent back to her small courtyard. Not long after, Gongsun Jin entered Luoxia Residence amid Xiaofeng's sobs, followed by a little maid carrying a medicine box, and Zhan Zhao.

The wound was not too deep, the wound was treated and then the medicine was applied. After everything came to an end, Gongsun Jin wrote another prescription for Xiaofeng, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the little path, "Girl, your injury..."

"I asked for it," Su Xiaoxiao half leaned on the soft pillow, a little tired, "If I didn't go, so many things wouldn't have happened, and Zhan Zhao was even implicated."

Zhan Zhao didn't hear these words, he watched all the way, until Gongsun Jin said that Xiao Xiao was fine and the wound had been treated, then he turned around and went about his own business.

Now there are only two people left in the room, and Gongsun Jin affectionately stretched out his hands to comb the lock of hair that fell on her shoulders, "Xiaoxiao, my brother said you are smart and brave. Brother Bao and brother like you very much. Worry, no one will blame you."

Su Xiaoxiao looked into Gongsun Jin's eyes, then slowly lowered her eyes, "I..."

She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Thinking about it now, what she said back then seemed so childish and ridiculous, who did she think she was?

Here, Bao Zheng and the others just treat her like a child, so they indulge and let her go, but she is not, others don't know, but she knows that she is just a willful adult in the name of a child.

Think about the days when the master who taught her cooking doted on her, her parents doted on her, and even after work, because of her talent, her colleagues and leaders indulged her intentionally or unintentionally. It turned out that she thought she was very good, and everyone I told her so, but now...

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak, Gongsun Jin thought she was tired, so she got up and left after a few words of comfort.

Xiaofeng went to cook the medicine, the room was very quiet, the door was closed, Su Xiaoxiao heard the sound of Gongsun Jin closing the door, she thought, Zhan Zhao should have left long ago, and now she doesn't know what she should tell him Well, it's superfluous to say anything now.

"elder sister……"

A childish voice, with a little fear, Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and saw Tongtong hiding behind the screen, she smiled weakly, "Sister is fine, just accidentally..."

Not a little hurt?She herself finds it ridiculous to say such an idiot. Su Xiaoxiao gave up powerlessly. Even if she is just a child, she should do better than her. At least they know not to make trouble at critical times.

After drinking medicine and eating, Su Xiaoxiao insisted on driving away Xiaofeng who was going to stay on vigil, and then the room became cold again.

From the paddock to now, she still can't get rid of her emotions. Bao Zheng also came to see her during the meal just now, and didn't say anything, just let her have a good rest, but now she can't sleep.

Now when she closes her eyes, she sees those beastly eyes and Zhan Zhao's stiff face, she is his trouble, the realization came late, but at last, she still thought of it.

All night long, it was all a dream. In the dream, she saw herself being hugged bloody by Zhan Zhao. In the dream, she saw that she was wrong with Zhan Zhao because of her stubbornness. In the dream, she yelled loudly, but no one paid attention to her. ...

It was already morning when I suddenly woke up, my head was covered with cold sweat, the window was closed and the brazier was not far from the bed.

Su Xiaoxiao moved, her shoulder still hurt a little, she didn't dare to touch it, she got up to wash up carefully, maybe there was a noise, Xiaofeng walked in after a while, her eyes were still red, "Miss, you How did you get up? Miss Jin said you need to rest more."

"It's okay, the bleeding is gone. I hurt my shoulder, not my leg."

"Then go back and lie down for me, you don't know us..." After saying a few words, Xiaofeng's eyes became wet again, Su Xiaoxiao could only go back and lie down obediently.

After breakfast, Xiaofeng said that she would send Tongtong to the ancestral hall and help in the kitchen. She thought for a while and said that if she had nothing to do, she would come back early, and then told Su Xiaoxiao not to go out and not to wander around.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, she wasn't going anywhere, it was troublesome for her to go out... Hey, well, I'm in an extremely bad mood.

After reading for a while and posting for a while, Su Xiaoxiao felt as if she had returned to Liu's house.

While half asleep, Su Xiaoxiao heard someone knocking on the door, she answered, but thought about whether her voice was too soft, so she got up and opened the door.

With a "squeak", Su Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the person at the door, Zhan Zhao, and then she saw another person standing behind him, "Brother Zhan."

Su Xiaoxiao called out, then took two steps sideways, Zhan Zhao and Zhan Jie entered the small hall one after the other.

What is he doing here?Su Xiaoxiao frowned displeasedly when closing the door. She didn't forget what he said when he left last time, she said it so clearly, she thought they had no chance to see each other again.

"Xiao Zhao said you were hurt, are you really okay?" Zhan Jie stood by the table, looking at the person in front of him, his voice sounded calm and steady.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and glanced at Zhan Zhao, and then said to Zhan Jie, "Thank you brother Zhan for your concern, I'm really fine."

"Last time..." Zhan Jie sighed, and then said again, "Now that you are so hurt, I don't even know to tell Uncle Liu, are you still unwilling to go back with me?"

"I..." For a moment, Su Xiaoxiao was shaken, go back, the result of being so stubborn is like this, why bother...

Zhan Zhao watched from the side, he didn't know what was wrong with him, actually he didn't want Zhan Jie to know that Su Xiaoxiao was hurt, but he went to the inn in the morning and told Zhan Jie what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Zhan Jie came back with him without saying anything, which made Zhan Zhao's heart sink. He guessed that Zhan Jie came here to say this sentence. Grandpa's words are still very important, and no one dares to disobey.

There was a moment of silence, the three of them stood still, and finally Zhan Jie frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "I will return to Hangzhou in two days, if you change your mind, come to me, Xiao Zhao, the inn where I live, knows. "

Su Xiaoxiao nodded silently, did not serve tea or let them sit down, the two men came and left very quickly.

Her fingers were still on the latch, and her back felt a pain again. Going back, will her father ground her again?Going back, will she naturally become Zhan Jie's daughter-in-law?go back……

Xiaofeng's action of pushing the door almost made Su Xiaoxiao fall out, she barely dodged it, apparently still didn't understand, Xiaofeng was startled, quickly supported her and asked, "Miss, are you okay? Why are you so silent?" stand behind the door!"

"Xiaofeng," she left, what should Xiaofeng do?Let her stay, people in Kaifeng Mansion won't bully her, "I...well, why did you come back so soon?"

"I went to deliver food to that person just now, and he said he wanted to see you. I told him that you couldn't go because you were injured, but," Xiaofeng helped Su Xiaoxiao to the side of the bed and sat down, "but he said that tomorrow he will see you." I'm going to die, so..."

"You mean Liu Changshun?" Ever since she went to deliver food that time, she felt something was wrong, so she simply discussed with Zhui Ming that she would deliver some food every day, and maybe she would find out someday.

She is not here these days, so Xiaofeng is naturally the one who delivers the food. Liu Changshun wants to see her, why?

"Yeah," Xiaofeng nodded, then turned her head and asked, "You said he is Ziyan's elder brother, but we don't know Ziyan, and we haven't met her, why are you being so nice to him?"

okay?It's just a few side dishes, Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just thought about it, and then said, "You help me change my clothes, let's go and have a look."

"Are you really going?"

"Ah."

Putting on clothes is Su Xiaoxiao's biggest pain now, she puts her teeth on and puts her mouth on, and she is covered in sweat in such a cold weather.

Xiaofeng didn't like that Liu Changshun very much, and she was scared by him last time, but she didn't worry about Su Xiaoxiao being alone, besides, she still had injuries on her body.

Xiaofeng was not very positive, but she also felt sorry for the man who said he was going to die. Hearing that he was a death row inmate, it was the first time for her to see a person sentenced to death. Well, it was also the first time for her to go to prison.

Xiaofeng followed Su Xiaoxiao out of Kaifeng Mansion and into the God's Detective Department, and then the two passed through the God's Detective Department, and finally at the gate of the cell, Su Xiaoxiao just said you wait for me here, I can go in by myself, Xiaofeng was relieved.

The prison of the God Detective Division has been repaired long ago. Su Xiaoxiao walked through the dark and damp corridor. There was no light in the prison, and there was only one torch far away. There are not many cells here that can see the sun.

It is difficult to walk in such a place without being afraid. After staying here for a long time, can I go out and live a normal life?I'm afraid that everyone who has stayed here will have only one way to go in the end, Su Xiaoxiao thought of the captured leopard again, and its pair of absent-minded and desperate eyes.

There is not much difference between humans and beasts...

The head of the prison led Su Xiaoxiao all the way in, and finally stopped in front of a relatively clean cell. The sound of heavy iron chains and the head of the cell were not very friendly. With a thin layer of straw, Liu Changshun sat curled up against the wall.

Opposite him, there was a table with four corners, and there were some small dishes on the table, Su Xiaoxiao guessed that these were brought by Xiaofenggang.

Liu Changshun just sat there, staring at the dishes on the table with cloudy eyes. Someone opened the door, someone came in, and someone looked at him. It was as if nothing had happened to him.

After waiting for a long time, Su Xiaoxiao asked slowly, "Xiaofeng said, you will be executed tomorrow? Is that right?"

Liu Changshun turned his head sluggishly, then seemed to think for a while, and then turned his gaze back to the dish again, every movement was very slow, just when Su Xiaoxiao thought he would not say anything, he heard a very dry The voice said, "Tomorrow, I will be able to see my little sister, and tomorrow, I will be able to see her."

Mumbling, just like a soliloquy, Su Xiaoxiao doubts whether such a person can still think completely independently, the sentence of wanting to see her, maybe it is just a dream of him, the dream of a foolish person.

The pain on his shoulders and the depression in his heart were magnified here, and just when Su Xiaoxiao was about to give up and leave in disappointment, Liu Changshun turned his eyes away from the dish, "Thank you for giving me hope these days, thank you You let me know, my little sister didn't blame me, thank you, thank you..."
