Scholar is Addicted [Rebirth]

Plop, plop.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the small courtyard outside the door, the sound was a bit slow, but it could be heard a bit superficial.

Shu Sheng shook off the water on his hand, wiped it off on the handkerchief, walked over and opened the door, and saw a kind old man's face, which was the grandma of the Zhang family in the village.

"Mr. Shu, there are two stewed chickens at home. You must be eating them alone. The old woman will bring you one." Grandma said with a smile on her face, and handed the big bowl containing the whole chicken to Shu Sheng.

Shu Sheng picked it up politely, and thanked the old man. The old man smiled and waved his hands: "Mr. Shu, don't be polite to us. We are all neighbors and folks. You should walk around more, sir, too. Don't be bored in the house all day long."

"Thank you mother-in-law, I will." Shu Sheng replied with a smile, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

If it was in the past, he would definitely walk around the neighborhood more and get along with people more, but after he died once, Shu Sheng was afraid. Some people will definitely treat you well if you treat him well, just like before rebirth Like him, it was extremely ridiculous to pour out his heart and soul to that person, but ended up like that in the end.

"Mister isn't married yet, right?" Granny said with a smile, "My granddaughter is about the same age as your husband, and I've met him before, but she's too soft-tempered, but she's a good match for him. I don't know what Mr. will do?"

really.

Shu Sheng thought to himself that there is really no gain for nothing, the way of the world is like this, everyone has a purpose, everyone has a reason to be good to you, once the purpose is achieved or the reason is lost, who will care about your life or death?The scene of the previous life floated before his eyes. Even though he was reborn half a year before the incident, his limbs and bones would still feel the pain. It was the tragic memory of the previous life, reminding him to be with him all the time. Others keep their distance.

"I'm sorry grandma, I haven't thought about marriage yet, thank you grandma for your kindness, my granddaughter will definitely find a good husband-in-law."

Grandma saw Shu Sheng say this, so she had no choice but to stop, and said with a smile: "Mr. is a genius, and also my granddaughter Gao Pan. Mr. is busy, so my wife will go back first."

Seeing Grandma shuffling away from her small courtyard, Shu Sheng looked at the big bowl in her hand, Grandma didn't take the chicken away.

Also, there is no reason to take back what is sent out.

Shu Sheng went back to the house and put the chicken into the kitchen. There are two rooms in the small courtyard where he lives, one is the kitchen and the other is the bedroom. There is a small vegetable field in the courtyard, and there are a lot of green vegetables growing in the vegetable field. This is the vegetable Shu Sheng eats. He rarely goes to the village to buy meat. Apart from teaching the children in the village, Shu Sheng tries to avoid eating by himself. to contact anyone in the village.

Looking out of the window, the green vegetable field appeared in front of my eyes, full of vitality. Shu Sheng closed the doors and windows carefully. This is his habit after being revived, like a turtle, closing himself off from the contact of others Where I can't reach, I try my best to live in my own world and protect myself carefully.

Entering the kitchen, Shu Sheng began to roll out the noodles and prepare his lunch.

"boom"

The loud sound of opening the door frightened Shu Sheng, and the rolling pin in his hand slipped from his hand, and then he was grasped tightly again.

There was another person's heavy panting sound in the room, Shu Sheng held the rolling pin tightly in his hand, thought for a while, and picked up the kitchen knife with the other hand.

Someone broke into his house.

He protected the two things in front of him, hugged the rolling pin tightly, and walked to the bedroom step by step, cautiously.

In case the visitor is unkind, he can stun him with a rolling pin. If the visitor is too strong, or someone who knows martial arts, Shu Sheng looked at the kitchen knife in his hand. Well……

Shu Sheng looked at his arm, which was only a little thicker than a rolling pin, and smiled self-deprecatingly. In fact, it seems that if the opponent knows martial arts, the chance of the opponent directly knocking him down is much greater than the chance of letting the opponent die. .

What appeared in front of Shu Sheng was a tall man, wrapped in a black narrow-sleeved robe covering his strong body, with a nervous expression on his tough and handsome features, it can be seen that this man is a practicing family , This kind of feeling he also felt in the former man, and at this moment, the man is frowning slightly looking at everything in his room.

"Who are you?" Compared to a man, Shu Sheng was more nervous. He knew that he had no chance of winning. Even if he had a kitchen knife in his hand, he couldn't guarantee that he could hit the opponent's little brother accurately. For the thin and thin Shu Sheng, it was simply a fantasy.

"Shh~" The man stretched out his index finger and pressed it on his lips to signal him to keep quiet, then walked towards Shu Sheng with frowning brows and sullen face.

Shu Sheng could feel that he was so tense that his whole body was tense, his heart was beating desperately in his chest, and the palms of his two hands holding the rolling pin and the kitchen knife were full of sweat.

Shu Sheng thought, maybe he could slash over with a knife, make a feint, and then rush out to the village to ask for help, but the place where he lives is really too remote, a little far away from the village, and maybe he can't run there, but as long as he calls for help, the villagers can help him. Heard, someone should come to save him, right?

When Shu Sheng was ready to fight to the death, the man had already walked in front of Shu Sheng, then ignored Shu Sheng, and entered the kitchen...

"..." Shu Sheng frowned, and said: "The money is at the bottom of the wooden box for clothes, and the broken silver wrapped in a handkerchief is about 30 taels. I don't have any more. You can take it if you want, but Don't hurt me."

After dying once, he cherished his life even more, money and so on were not important.

"Shh~ don't talk." The man whispered again, strode to the firewood pile, pushed the firewood pile aside, got in, and then covered the firewood pile again. He opened a gap, cupped his hands to Shu Sheng in the gap, gave another 'shh~', and said: "Don't say anything, thank you."

Then, the tall man disappeared into a pile of firewood.

Standing in the kitchen with a rolling pin and a kitchen knife in his hand, Shu Sheng frowned. After thinking about it, he retreated to the kitchen door with the kitchen knife and rolling pin in his hands.

As long as it's not life-threatening or robbery, it's fine. As for robbery...he is a man, so the other party should not be interested in this aspect, right?

silent.

After a while, there was a noise from the road outside. Shu Sheng stood stiffly in the corner holding a rolling pin and a kitchen knife. He heard a lot of people coming, and then someone knocked on the door, very politely.

Shu Sheng cautiously opened the door, and there were rows of officers and soldiers standing outside the door, all of whom were riding horses. The leader should be a commanding officer from his clothes, and the one who knocked on the door opened a portrait in front of Shu Sheng: " May I ask if you have seen this person?"

Shu Sheng looked at the portrait and shook his head subconsciously. To be honest, the portrait is not very similar to the real person. Shu Sheng took a closer look and realized that the painting was really hiding behind him. The man in the woodshed.

The officers and soldiers didn't think much of it, and turned to the leader and shook his head, wanting to ask if he wanted to search the house, but the leader frowned and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waved his hand, "Let's go, look elsewhere, don't disturb the people!"

"Yes!"

Shu Sheng looked at the officers and soldiers leaving in the distance and was puzzled. It seemed that the arrest...wasn't a fugitive or something?Otherwise, how could it be so loose and told not to disturb the people?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Shu Sheng retreated into the room, closed the door and window, but opened it quickly after closing it, he almost forgot that there was a stranger in the room.

It wasn't until the sound of horseshoes disappeared that the man emerged from the pile of firewood, patted the grass clippings on his body, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"go out!"

Holding the kitchen knife, Shu Sheng boldly drank, "Just now officers and soldiers searched, so it means that this person is in trouble. For Shu Sheng now, this is definitely a big trouble and a big threat. Besides, he doesn't want to be with anyone at all." There is contact, and he has been benevolent enough not to directly confess just now.

"..." The man was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I can't go out now."

Shu Sheng frowned in displeasure. He really didn't want anyone to stay in his house, and a feeling of resistance rose from the bottom of his heart.

"You can go out of the village and take refuge in the mountains, where people are easy to hide." Shu Sheng suggested.

The man still shook his head, his dark brown eyes were bright and energetic, he blinked twice, and said, "They just went to the village, it's not realistic to be on the mountain."

Shu Sheng also knew that it was not good to let him go to the mountains. Although it is a good place to hide, it is also very dangerous to spend the night there.

But on the other hand, Shu Sheng was really not happy to take in a stranger.

You can't even trust that person, let alone a stranger?

However, as soon as he met the man's calm and pleading eyes, Shu Sheng's heart softened again. He was a kind person, so naturally he couldn't do anything that would not save him.

So, after the two pairs of eyes looked at each other silently for a long time, Shu Sheng was defeated, and sighed helplessly: "Go fetch water to wash your hands and face, and then rest in the room, remember, don't come near me."

After all, he took the kitchen knife and rolling pin into the kitchen.

Shu Sheng knew that he couldn't really drive him out. After all, this person seemed to be in need of help, and he was not malicious. The good education of his family made Shu Sheng unable to turn a blind eye to those who needed help.

Even after experiencing the painful price of life and death, matters of principle cannot be easily changed.

Shu Sheng rolled out the noodles, boiled them, and scalded a bunch of vegetables picked in the yard. Finally, after thinking about it, she reluctantly took a piece of chicken breast from the chicken sent by her grandma, cut it into shredded chicken, and sprinkled it in the noodle bowl. Pour over hot soup.

The man washed up obediently, and sat down in front of the table in the house, smelling the fragrance from the kitchen, his nostrils fluttered, he seemed extremely hungry, and there was a strong desire for food in his eyes.

Shu Sheng still held the kitchen knife and watched him eat from a distance, while sitting in the kitchen she also held a bowl of noodles and ate slowly.

He didn't regret this decision, even though he was very scared and desperately wanted to avoid harm, he still couldn't get rid of his conscience.
