Fast Travel: Those Years of Saving Destiny

Regarding Xu Jianjun's conjecture, Rong Luo felt that there was a high probability that it was impossible. After all, he was going to be the groom tomorrow, so he had to recharge his batteries no matter what.

But Rong Luo underestimated Xu Jianguo's greed for gold. Even just one gold was enough for him to keep an eye on Xu Jianjun.

So in the evening, the other party came over with a plate of potato and chicken stew. As soon as they met, he smiled and invited Rong Luo and Xu Jianjun to attend tomorrow's wedding.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Rong Luo and Xu Jianjun did not refuse Xu Jianguo's invitation, but the emotions on their faces were not very happy.

If it were anyone else, seeing such a reaction, he would definitely throw away his sleeves and walk away, but Xu Jianguo is not an ordinary person. He seems to be very enthusiastic even though he can't see the ordinary. What he says is the kindness and warmth of the family.

But what made Rong Luo wary was the other party's casual words, "Why didn't I see my sister-in-law going to the village entrance to fetch water at noon?"

As soon as these words came out, Rong Luo's heart trembled. He thought back to fetching water at noon day after day in the past year. He was afraid that the other party would stare at it, but he was nervous and nervous, but what he said was very calm, "I fell down yesterday." For a moment, my head hurt and I didn’t go away. You didn’t say it was okay. As soon as you said it, I remembered that there was indeed not much water in the tank. It happened that you came and I didn’t bother to call you. You go and get a few buckets. Water."

After saying that, he turned around and took the pole standing at the door of the kitchen and the bucket on the wall, stuffed it directly into Xu Jianguo's hand, and said with a smile, "You are such a considerate brother. I know that your brother's legs are inconvenient. It's really troublesome." Brother."

Xu Jianguo didn't expect that he would get a heavy job after just one sentence of temptation, and he wanted to refuse immediately. However, before he could open his mouth, Rong Luo stuffed the pole into his hand without a look. His face suddenly changed. He was just about to make an excuse. After refusing, Xu Jianjun's condensed gaze looked over, as if he was wearing a perspective lens. Xu Jianguo couldn't help but dodge, so he missed the best opportunity to refuse and could only fetch water depressedly.

Although Xu Jianguo was tall and powerful, he had never done heavy work, even fetching water. So he wandered along the way, and when he arrived at Xu Jianjun's house, there was only half a bucket of water left. , and his shoulders were burned.

Looking at the grinning Xu Jianguo, Rong Luo almost burst out laughing in his heart, but he still didn't show it on his face.

On the other hand, Xu Jianjun raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Jianguo for a while. It can be said that the performance of silence is better than sound to the extreme.

Xu Jianguo's face turned completely dark, but Rong Luo still pretended not to see him and continued to urge him to fetch water. When the water tank was finally filled, Xu Jianguo was breathing heavily from exhaustion.

However, Rong Luo still didn't intend to let him go, and continued to use kind words and compliments to make him chop another pile of firewood.

Xu Jianguo was tired and hot, so Xu Jianguo couldn't help but pull his collar, revealing a red rope inside. However, maybe it was because of the age that the red color of the rope was a bit old.

Rong Luo looked at the old red rope and his heart skipped a beat.

After Xu Jianguo finished chopping the firewood and left with a green face, he couldn't wait to ask Xu Jianjun about the red rope.

Unfortunately, Xu Jianjun didn’t know much. “It seems to be a pagoda. I seemed to have been beaten a few times for it when I was young.”

"Being beaten, why?"

"I can't remember clearly, but it seemed that grandma grabbed me the last time and said she couldn't take it away or something." Xu Jianjun frowned and tried to remember, but the childhood memories were too old to be able to remember. I couldn't recall anything useful.

"That's it. Forget it, let's go to bed early today." Seeing that nothing came out of the question, Rong Luo stretched and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

However, as soon as he turned around, Xu Jianjun stopped her, and then waited at the door of the main room like a thief for a while before leading Rong Luo back to the east room. Then he dug out a corner under the bed and dug out a plastic cloth holding it. He handed the things to Rong Luo and told Rong Luo, "Put it with you first and return it to me when you get it."

Although he didn't open it, the hardness when he pinched it with his fingers made Rong Luo know what it was. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "You trust me."

"Don't be suspicious of people who are suspicious of you, but don't be suspicious of people you employ." After saying these words, Xu Jianjun urged Rong Luo back to his room and told him, "Don't come out no matter what you hear in the first half of the night."

Rong Luo said this suspiciously, "You don't think he will come again, after all he has done."

"If the little one is gone, won't he still grow old?"

Um, this... seeing Xu Jianjun, who had no respect at all when he mentioned the two elders of the Xu family after going out for a trip, Rong Luo kept silent at the right time, and turned around to go to bed obediently.

However, perhaps because of Xu Jianjun's words, Rong Luo couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned until about ten o'clock before he managed to doze off.

But as soon as she closed her eyes on her front legs, she heard movement from the yard outside the house on her back legs.

No, Xu Jianjun really got it right.

Just when Rong Luo hesitated to get up, he heard jumping sounds from the east room. It seemed that Xu Jianjun went out on crutches.

"Yes~"

As the main room door opened, the jumping sound first came closer and then became far away.

Rong Luo leaned up from the quilt and looked out the window. However, it was too dark in the yard, and Xu Jianjun didn't carry a kerosene lamp. It was so dark that it didn't look real at all. He could only vaguely see a few shaking figures. , but as the figures stood still, they disappeared into the darkness.

Rong Luo was a little curious to know what the second elder of the Xu family would say, so he tilted his head and put his ears closer to the window.

Unfortunately, the three people in the yard seemed to be worried about something, and their voices were very quiet at first.

It wasn't until Xu Jianjun's voice suddenly rose, "Now that you haven't told the truth, I already know that I am not your biological child at all. You have swallowed the house and money my parents gave me, and you have also swallowed my milk. Now You still want to take over this old house, you are so shameless, aren’t you afraid that my parents and grandparents will come to find you in the middle of the night?”

The surrounding wind Xu made a whirring sound in time to match Xu Jianjun's words.

The two elders of the Xu family jumped suddenly in fright, and this jump also allowed Rong Luo to see their positions clearly. Just when she guessed what the two men would say to coax Xu Jianjun, she saw them running away.

Run, right? Are you so guilty and cowardly? Rong Luo was puzzled.

The next second, the whistling sound outside the window became louder, and the branches outside the yard were rustling. A wonderful idea popped into Rong Luo's mind, no, these two people couldn't have been scared away by the sound.

Although Rong Luo didn't really want to believe it, it was true.

The two elders of the Xu family were still trembling when they returned home, as if their ears were filled with the old lady's words before she died, which were shrill and sharp.

"Father, mother, you are back, what did he say?" Xu Jianguo, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the second elder of the Xu family coming back and hurriedly stepped forward. Perhaps he was too excited and did not notice the pale face of the second elder and was still thinking about himself. He said this to himself, "You can take them out after they pass. That thing is most likely in the northeast corner of the main room. Grandma used to sit there and didn't like to move."

As soon as the word "grandma" came out, the bodies of the second elder of the Xu family trembled even more, but Xu didn't want to lose face in front of the second son, so he just found an excuse to pass it off and went back to the house.

Not to mention that the two elders of the Xu family were shivering under the quilt, but Xu Jianguo went back to his room humming a song as if something was already in his hands.

And here, after Xu Jianjun returned to the room and made no sound, Rong Luo quietly left the yard and went to Xu's house according to the route in his memory.
