Wangjiang Tower.

It was the time of lunch, and there was an endless stream of customers in the shop.

Occasionally, a few diners looked curiously at the masked woman in brown linen who was busy serving dishes in the store, but seeing that she had been busy doing her own things, they only took a few glances and then looked away.

However, there were still a few curious regular customers who grabbed Sun Lei, "Xiaoer, why didn't Yunyi come today? Who is that girl?"

Sun Lei was busy greeting guests, and said with a smile: "Hey, a distant relative from my hometown, Li Guanren, you call her Xiaoyun, Yunyi is not feeling well, so I didn't come today, everyone else Xiaoyun helped in the back kitchen for a long time. It’s been a while, and today I specially came to the front hall to help.”

"Hey! Xiaoyun, Yunyi, you kid..." The regular customer cast a mocking look at Deng Yun who was busy, with a malicious smile on his face.

"How can it be, Xiaoyun has a husband. Mr. Li, please stop making such jokes, and let other girls hear carefully." Sun Lei said with a smile even though he felt uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's just a joke, but why does Xiaoyun cover her face with a veil, but because she is too beautiful to be seen by others?" Li Guanren raised his fat hand and touched his chin. When he said this, his lewd eyes moved up and down. He glanced at Deng Yun.

"No, Xiaoyun accidentally rolled down the hillside when she was working in the village, leaving a big scar. It's not because she was afraid of scaring the guests that she wore a veil."

Hearing Sun Lei's words, an unlucky look appeared on Li Guanren's face for a moment, and he looked back with a lack of interest, "So, Xiaoer, go get busy, so I can take care of Yun Yi, she's not here, we all I have no appetite."

Several people at the same table also echoed.

The smile on Sun Lei's face stiffened a bit, and he couldn't help cursing inwardly, 'Old pervert! ',left.

The guests of Wangjiang Tower are almost the same every day, and not everyone has the money to eat in the restaurant every day.

After being busy for a while, Sun Lei and Deng Yun went to the back kitchen for dinner.

Deng Yun took off the veil on his face. Although the scar on his face was much better than when he first saw it, it still looked scary.

"Xiaoyun, this is the salary that Wangjiang Tower paid in advance for you." Sun Lei glanced at the people who were busy in the kitchen, and carefully took out the money in his arms and handed it to Deng Yun.

"Yunyi knows that you are in urgent need of money. We lent you money, but you definitely don't want it, so I begged the shopkeeper to advance your wages. Count it to see if it's right."

Deng Yun stopped eating, and his eyes immediately turned red, "Brother Sun..."

"Okay, just keep it. If the count is wrong, tell the shopkeeper immediately." Sun Lei stuffed the money into Deng Yun's hand.

Deng Yun squeezed the silver bag tightly, put down the bowl and chopsticks and wanted to kneel down to Sun Lei.

Sun Lei was taken aback and stopped him quickly.

"Xiao Yun, what are you doing?"

"Brother Sun, you and Sister Yun's great kindness, I, Deng Yun, will never forget it. When I find my fiancé and solve those things, I will definitely repay you even if I spend the rest of my life."

Deng Yun pulled Sun Lei's hand away, and kowtowed firmly to Sun Lei.

Sun Lei sighed lightly and had to bear it.

"Xiaoyun, back then when your elder sister Yun saved you, you didn't ask for anything in return..."

Deng Yun stood up, "I know, it's Sister Yun who is kind-hearted."

Sun Lei glanced at the scar on Deng Yun's face, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Xiao Yun, I was afraid that you would be sad a few days ago, so we were not easy to ask, can you tell us now? , How did you get the scar on your face?"

The scars on Deng Yun's face are not so obvious if it is scratched by the branches, but the scariest thing is the marks that look like they have been scratched by knives.

It is criss-crossed, and it is dark red because of scabs.

Hearing this, Deng Yun shuddered subconsciously, and his body trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Sun Lei hurriedly said, "If it's inconvenient, don't worry about it."

"It's not inconvenient..." Deng Yun smiled miserably, "Brother Sun, you also know that I came to Beijing this time to find my husband-in-law."

Their Dengjia Village is at the junction of Beiyan State and Western Jin State. The folk customs are simple and honest. The whole village is almost full of people with the surname Deng. They live with the farmland. Although life is hard, they still live happily.

It's just that occasionally people fleeing from famine pass by, and kind people in the village occasionally help.

Deng Yun met Zhou Shui when he was seven years old.

At that time, Zhou Shui was only 12 years old. Zhou's mother took him to Dengjia Village and was taken in by Deng Yun's family.

Zhou Shuichang has beautiful features and can read. I heard that he used to be a son of a good family. Unfortunately, he encountered bandits on the road. Except for Zhou Shui and her mother, no one in the family survived.

When he first met Zhou Shui, Deng Yun fell in love with him. At that time, Zhou Shui's mother also fell in love with her, and often joked that she wanted her to be the Zhou family's child bride.

Deng Yun's family picked up two people, and the fact that Zhou Shui could read and write quickly spread in the village.

There was a lot of discussion in the village, and it happened that there was still a shortage of a teacher in the village, so Zhou Shui took over.

All the money Zhou Shui earned was given to Deng Yun, and their marriage was settled in this way.

Days passed, and both of them reached the age of marriage. They had a simple wedding and lived a fairly happy life.

But the good times didn't last long, and Zhou Shui suddenly proposed to go to Beijing to rush for the exam.

Seeing that Zhou Shui really wanted to go, Deng Yun gritted his teeth and sold the family's cattle. In addition, he often went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and sell them, and finally collected enough money for Zhou Shui to go to Beijing for the exam.

Later, Zhou Shui sent a letter suddenly, saying that he fell ill on the way and lived in a village for a while. Since then, Deng Yun has never received any letter from Zhou Shui.

Zhou's mother didn't seem to worry much about Zhou Shui. On the contrary, the longer Zhou Shui had been in Beijing, the more she disliked Deng Yun.

Although Deng Yun was puzzled, he didn't think too much about it. It was just that Zhou's mother was worried about Zhou Shui and was in a bad mood.

After counting the days, the time for the release of the list had passed, and there was no news from Dengjia Village. Deng Yun was a little anxious, and got up early at night, ready to go to the city to inquire.

But just halfway through the road, she suddenly met a few masked gangsters, who knocked her unconscious and threw her off the cliff without saying a word.

"...So, you don't know who is targeting you? The wound on your face also appeared after you woke up?"

After listening to Deng Yun's story, Sun Lei asked with some emotion in his heart.
