Tofu Dongshi

It was already the morning of the second day when Dou Jiafu woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a person sitting beside the bed, leaning against the bedpost with his eyes closed.He was obviously a very familiar person, but he almost couldn't recognize him.

However, I haven't seen him for three days, Zhen Zhigong's image is much more sloppy than before, with disheveled hair, thin cheeks, a layer of blue stubble under his jaw, his clothes are also very dirty, full of blood and mud, and his shoulders are still torn There was a large piece of it, and it was tied with a few loops of cloth tape, with faint traces of blood.

This haggard and desolate appearance is quite different from when Dou Jiafu found him at the foot of the mountain.

He sat up in shock and asked urgently, "Why are you injured?"

He had a sore throat while speaking, which made it difficult for him to pronounce words, and his voice was hoarse and deep.

Zhen Zhigong opened his eyes suddenly, the inside was bloodshot, and there was a flash of joy, but he didn't answer, he just asked: "Apart from the neck, is there any other discomfort?"

Dou Jiafu shook his head, pointed to his shoulder stubbornly and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's going on?"

Zhen Zhigong said disapprovingly: "It's just a small injury, it's not a problem. But you, your neck is injured, you'd better talk less these days."

The two exchanged a few words back and forth, and Dou Jiafu suddenly realized that he was still alive?Wasn't Zhen Zhijing strangled to death?What about Zhen Zhijing?

Thinking of that person and what happened last night, it seemed that even the pain in his neck had aggravated, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Where's your second brother?"

Zhen Zhigong's face darkened, but his tone was still gentle: "Don't worry, I have already taught him a lesson for you, and he will never hurt you again from now on."

Dou Jiafu made up his mind, but what kind of lesson did Zhen Zhigong teach?Couldn't the injury on his shoulder be caused by Zhen Zhijing when the two brothers fought last night?

Recalling the last night when he saw Zhen Zhigong before he fell into a coma, he couldn't help shivering.

He was about to ask to confirm his guess, but Zhen Zhigong raised his finger and shook it, "I forgot what I just said? You have to recover from your neck injury these days, so it's best not to talk if it's not necessary, otherwise it will get worse The injury has become dumb, and it will be too late to cry."

Zhen Zhigong spoke in an intimate and natural manner, with a bit of usual domineering and joking, as if nothing major happened last night and before last night, and everything was still the same as before.

Dou Jiafu was a bit uncomfortable, obviously the two of them fell into an unprecedented cold war in the three days before today, not to mention not bickering, they never even met face to face.

He thought that he would leave Zhen's house quietly today, but he didn't expect such an unimaginable and creepy accident to happen last night.And from Zhen Zhigong's tone, it seemed that he would stay in the Zhen family for the next few days to recuperate from his injuries, instead of leaving at the end of the month as agreed.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at the shelf in the corner of the room. Before going to bed last night, he packed his meager things and hung them on it. He planned to leave early this morning.

Now the shelf is empty, the bundle is gone.

Zhen Zhigong followed his gaze, and then looked away as if nothing had happened, "You rest first, I'll go wash up, and I'll bring you lunch later."

Dou Jiafu watched him leave, his lips moved twice, but he didn't say anything after all.

In fact, he still has a lot of questions to ask.

For example, why did he suddenly come back in the middle of the night after disappearing for two days?

For example, what was the reason for the pain mixed with regret and self-blame that he saw before he passed out last night?

For example, what happened between the brothers after he passed out?

For another example, how does he see himself?

Zhen Zhijing said, "It's no wonder my elder brother still takes a fancy to you after you grow up like this"...

No, stop thinking about it!That is impossible!

Dou Jiafu tightly closed his eyes, forcing himself to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind.

At this time, a woman's shrill cry suddenly came from outside the courtyard, "Zhen Zhigong, return my little respect!"

Dou Jiafu's heart tightened. This voice seemed to be Mrs. Zhen Er's Mrs. Pan?

He couldn't resist getting up and going to the window, and sure enough, seeing Pan Shiyun crooked with tears streaming down his face, he stumbled and ran in.

There were a few people poking their heads at the door of the kitchen and the servant's room in the courtyard, hesitating whether to go forward, but seeing the young master walking out of the room with a cold face, they immediately retreated silently.

Zhen Zhigong said in a deep voice: "Er Niang, I have already explained to you this morning why you still come here to cry and let outsiders see how dignified you are."

Pan stared at him with resentment on his face, and said sharply with tears: "I don't believe it! You dare to kill your own brother, are you afraid that outsiders will not see it?!"

Dou Jiafu was shocked when he heard the words, did Zhen Zhigong kill Zhen Zhijing?

"Zhen Zhigong, you are so cruel! You give me Xiao Jing's life back!" Pan's makeup was bleak, and he looked like a ghost, and he stretched out his pointed fingers and rushed towards Zhen Zhigong like a madman.

At this time, Qin Shi also hurried into the courtyard with several servants, and when she saw this, she hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and send the second lady back to the room!"

Several servants took orders, ran forward to stop Pan, and then dragged her out of the yard, leaving only the screams of crying and cursing echoing all the way.

Qin's face was very ugly, his eyes were worried and confused, he hesitated to speak to Zhen Zhigong, after a short pause, he sighed: "Go and see your father in a while, he has another headache."

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the courtyard intentionally or unintentionally, and met Dou Jiafu who was standing by the window, paused for a moment, then slid away immediately, as if he hadn't seen him.

Dou Jiafu was slightly taken aback, he was sure Mrs. Zhen had seen him, but he clearly explained the meaning of that look, it seemed that there was less love these days, and more strange alienation and taboo.

He shook his head, it was probably his illusion just now.

Zhen Zhigong responded in a low voice, and sent his mother out of the yard.Turning around, he saw Dou Jiafu walking to the door of the room, looking at him with an inquiring and nervous expression.

He had no choice but to walk over, close the door, stand face to face with him, and slowly said: "I fought with Zhen Zhijing last night, he was defeated by me, his head was injured, and he is still unconscious The doctor said he might never wake up again."

Dou Jiafu's heart sank, did the two brothers fight each other last night?Is it because of him?Did he not become a sinner?

Although he was treated so unbearably and viciously by Zhen Zhijing last night, after all, he was only injured in the neck, and he would be fine after recuperating for a few days. It was much more serious, not to mention that the injury was still at the hands of his own brother, which made him really uneasy.

Thinking of Mrs. Zhen Er's accusation and crying just now, he blamed himself more and more.

You could tell what he was thinking by looking at his face, Zhen Zhigong sighed softly, and said: "Little Tofu, don't take other people's faults onto yourself, the reason why Zhen Zhijing ended up like this is that he deserved it. Even if I care about the brotherhood Share with my father's feelings, and let him let him hire a murderer to kill me, but I can't tolerate what happened last night no matter what."

Dou Jiafu's heart skipped a beat and he looked up at him.

Zhen Zhigong also fixed his gaze on him, took a deep breath, but spoke calmly: "You want to ask me why, don't you? Then I'll tell you, because, I like you. No matter who If I treat you like last night, I can't help but want to kill him."

Speak it out, admit it, what good is hiding in your heart and avoiding it.He thought he was good for both of them to escape and retreat, but he got the painful consequences of being bullied and tortured.Thinking of the scene I saw last night, I still couldn't stop the pain in my heart.

As for what kind of response this confession will get, whether it will be rejected, rejected or reviled, he no longer cares.

He is dignified young master Zhen, but he likes someone and has not committed any crimes, so there is nothing he can't say.
