Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

There was no answer from the cellar, so the old man asked again: "Who is in there?"

Still no one answered. When the old man bravely walked down, he felt the ground was wet. When he got down to the basement, he saw someone sitting on the ground leaning against the innermost corner, sobbing with his hands covering his face. The old man shook his head, rubbed his misty eyes, and looked carefully, "Qin Jingru, you are not at home at night, why are you going to the cellar?"

I don’t know if she didn’t hear it or what, but Qin Jingru didn’t answer the old man and just kept crying there.

The old man was used to being in charge. Since he knew it was Qin Jingru, he was not afraid and walked towards her.

When he got closer, the old man found that Qin Jingru was wet all over, as if she had just been splashed with water. Fortunately, the weather was hot now, so she wouldn't catch a cold or have a fever if she was splashed with water. However, it was a bit cool in the cellar, so it was not easy for clothes to dry.

An old man came over and patted Qin Jingru, "Qin Jingru, stop crying. The ground is cold. Get up quickly and don't hurt yourself. It's okay now that you're young, but it will be troublesome when you're old."

Qin Jingru looked up, looked at the old man with confused eyes, and said, "Shazhu, you're here. Why is your hair white?"

The old man said unhappily: "What idiot, are you confused? I am your uncle. Come, I will pull you up, and then you go home quickly and don't scare people here." As the old man said this, he pulled Qin Jingru up.

Qin Jingru was pulled up by an old man, shouting, "Shazhu, you ignored me before, so don't bother me now." Qin Jingru was pulled up, but because she had been squatting on the ground for a long time, her legs were numb and she couldn't stand steadily, so she fell into the old man's arms.

"It's so warm, Silly Zhu, hold me tight, I'm a little cold."

A plump and elastic body suddenly fell into the arms of the old man. The old man's mind was clear for a moment and then confused again, because what caught his eyes were the pair of headlights covered by wet clothes. The lamp heads were still dim, attracting the old man's attention. The old man swallowed hard, suppressed the desire, and wanted to help Qin Jingru out of the cellar.

Qin Jingru hugged the old man tightly, muttering "Silly Zhu, you've hurt me." Her steps were unsteady and the old man was drunk, so he walked unsteadily. After taking a few steps, it was unclear whether Qin Jingru tripped the old man or the old man tripped Qin Jingru. Anyway, the two fell down in each other's arms. The old man's hands fell on Qin Jingru's headlights and taillights. Qin Jingru's arms were around the old man's waist, and her head and face were pressed against the old man's chest.

The breathing sound gradually became heavier, the larynx kept shaking as he swallowed, and the temperature of his surroundings and body accelerated. For a moment, neither of them could control themselves. The fire was like dry wood, and desire fueled the fire, burning up the moral body.

About a quarter of an hour later, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The two looked terrified and embarrassed, but they were wary and thinking about it. The old man stared at Qin Jingru and said ruthlessly, "If you want to sue me, I will plead guilty."

When Qin Jingru heard that the uncle wanted her to sue him, her panicked heart slowly calmed down. She buttoned up her clothes and tidied them up slowly, saying, "Why should I sue you? Suing you will only be bad for me. Xu Damao will have more reason to divorce me."

When the uncle heard that Qin Jingru had no intention of reporting him, he suddenly remembered what happened just now and asked, "Why did you go to the cellar so wet when you were not at home at night?"

Hearing the old man's question, Qin Jingru gritted her teeth and cursed, "It's that bastard Xu Damao. When he came home at night and saw Shazhu's house was bustling with activity, and heard that other people were celebrating their children's birthdays, he became envious and jealous. He came back and quarreled with me, scolding me for not being able to have children and occupying his place at Xu's house. I was so angry that I quarreled with him a few words, because last time you said that if you hit me again, I would find Yu Li to take him to the street to criticize him, so he didn't dare to hit me. However, he poured a basin of foot washing water on me and drove me out of the house. I had nowhere to go, so I ran to the cellar."

"It's that bastard Xu Damao again. He not only hurt me, but also you." An old man condemned Xu Damao.

"But he deserved it. If he hadn't poured water on me and chased me out, I wouldn't have been frozen to death in the cellar just now, and he wouldn't have sworn to become a cuckold."

"Swear an oath? When did Xu Damao swear an oath?" The old man wondered in his heart, but did not ask. Although he and Qin Jingru had close contact, they were still relatively unfamiliar with each other emotionally. The conversation just now was just to break the awkwardness between the two.

"Although we did something wrong just now, I was confused and you were drunk, neither of us was sober. Don't think about the future. I won't ask you for compensation. We have nothing to do with each other after we leave this cellar." Qin Jingru saw that the old man lowered his head and didn't speak, and then continued: "I was only 20 years old. I was deceived by that bastard Xu Damao just to marry into the city. But I also lied to him and told him that I was pregnant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have divorced Lou Xiao'e and married me reluctantly. So, I will definitely not divorce. It's not easy to marry into the city. I have to turn myself into a real city dweller and get myself a city hukou."

Seeing that the old man wanted to speak, Qin Jingru smiled and said, "You are over fifty years old and can't take care of me. Besides, you still have to maintain your image. It's not worth it to ruin your reputation just to marry me."

When the uncle heard this, he nodded and thought: How could I possibly think of marrying you? I don't want to die. If I marry you, Xu Damao will definitely fight to death with me. I just want to ask if I should compensate you with some money. Since you don't mention it, then I don't need it. I'll give it to you when you want it.

"Okay, since you've agreed, then we have a deal. You should keep the same way as before and don't let others notice anything unusual." Qin Jingru instructed again.

"No problem, I promise not to let anyone know anything." The old man promised, "Also, are you going home or staying here?"

"I'll go back and check later. If that bastard Xu Damao doesn't open the door for me, I'll stay here all night."

"Do you want me to get you a blanket?"

"No need. I just said that what happened before will be the same in the future. Bring me the cup and tell the old lady how to do it. What if you run into someone else? You'd better go home quickly and don't cause trouble for me here. If someone finds out, my life will be ruined." Qin Jingru pushed the old man out of the cellar.

The old man quietly walked out of the cellar, crouching like a thief, peeking around to see if there was anyone around. When he passed by Xu Damao's house, he glanced at the dark window and thought: Xu Damao is a bastard. His wife was kicked out, but he didn't worry at all and turned off the lights to sleep. He has no conscience.

The old man tiptoed to open the door of his house, took off his clothes and lay down without disturbing the sleeping old woman.

After a long while, Qin Jingru came out of the cellar and pushed the door of her house, but it didn't open. She knocked a few times, but Xu Damao still didn't respond. She didn't insist anymore, turned around and went back to the cellar, sat on the steps of the cellar, smelled the remaining passionate smell in the cellar, and whispered: "Xu Damao, you are not only a cuckold, but also a bastard and incompetent cuckold!"
