Strange Story of Strange House

Every October when sleep and food are hard to rest, Lin Chi would think about what happened back then to force Huai Yin, who was always as gentle as jade, into this appearance.

A century of madness is easy to say.

Now, Lin Chi finally had the chance to understand everything, and he nodded without hesitation.His heart was pounding, waiting for the truth for several years, and finally the mystery was about to be unveiled.Seeing this, Shen Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a look of nostalgia, and then slowly narrated the past a hundred years ago in his characteristic deep voice.

In Shen Jinghan's memory, the spring of the third year of the Republic of China was the best season.It was a good year, and the people had smiles on their faces. On festivals, there was an endless stream of people going to the city to go to the market. As the regiment commander of the local garrison, Shen Jinghan naturally had a bright face.

Shen Jinghan doesn't have any hobbies, he doesn't like to drink, play cards and listen to ditty songs, and he doesn't like to admire ancient times and collect money to visit brothels. When he has nothing to do, he likes to take his adjutants for a walk on the street.He was born in this city, and later stationed in this city, but the deepest bond between him and this city is Huaiyin.Huaiyin was born in a scholarly family, but compared to other ordinary families in the city, he is only a little richer.His father died young, and the family was in decline. His mother supported a large family with the rent income from the fields and shops left in her early years.

On that day, Huaiyin went to the street alone, and it was rare for him not to be controlled by Huai's mother. He walked all the way, and when he encountered an interesting and interesting shop, he stopped for a while, so it took him a long time to complete half of the street.Too many novel gadgets on the street attracted his attention, and one of them accidentally bumped into a child.

"Are you okay?" Huaiyin helped the boy who fell to the ground with an apologetic face.The boy looked young, wearing a shabby gray robe and a mandarin jacket over his head. He looked smart and cute with a tiger head and a tiger brain.With the help of Huaiyin's support, the child stood up and patted the ashes, lowered his head and said "it's okay", then broke away from Huaiyin's hand and ran away.This situation was obviously not what Huaiyin expected. He was obviously taken aback for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, and turned around to continue shopping.At this moment, a male voice full of jokes suddenly stopped him.

"Wait!" Huaiyin turned around, only to see a man in military uniform striding towards him with the child who bumped into him just now.That was the first time he and Shen Jinghan met. This man who had been entangled with him for a hundred years, tall, handsome, majestic and mighty, was in front of him in an instant.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Shen Jinghan stood in front of Huaiyin, and said to the boy in his hand, "Hand over the things." The boy remained silent, and Shen Jinghan lifted him up by his collar, trembling viciously .The boy struggled a few times, seeing that there was no hope of breaking free, he reluctantly took out a money bag from his pocket.

"My purse?" It was only then that Huaiyin realized that he had met a thief belatedly. He took his purse from the man and thanked him softly.

Shen Jinghan taught the boy a few words, then let go.The boy fell to the ground and disappeared in a flash. Shen Jinghan didn't care, he raised the brim of his hat slightly, revealing that handsome face and a wicked smile like a soldier: "Beauty, I helped you, don't you buy me a drink?" Tea?"

Different from the elegant man a hundred years later who brought his composure to the extreme and could make every move into a painting, Shen Jinghan at this time still carried the publicity and arrogance of youth.

Huaiyin was also obviously taken aback by this sudden teasing, he hesitated for a moment, took out a few copper coins from his purse, and slapped them into Shen Jinghan's hand: "Master Jun, take it easy, I'll take the tea."

Shen Jinghan's smile instantly froze on his face, and even his expression became a little funny. Huaiyin glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh.At this time, Huaiyin is more beautiful than a hundred years later. The gentle temperament bred by a scholarly family for a hundred years, as well as his beautiful appearance, are more eye-catching than when he was a ghost.

"Thank you for helping me get it back." Huaiyin shook the purse in front of Shen Jinghan, "I still have something to do, the tea money is mine, the military master does it himself."

After speaking, he turned around and left quickly, leaving Shen Jinghan stunned on the spot.

At this moment, several men in military uniforms gathered around Shen Jinghan, and one of them raised his hand and beat Shen Jinghan, jokingly said, "Hey, Commander! Do what's right for you!"

The other laughed and scolded: "What kind of bravery! It's obvious that our regiment leader saw that she was beautiful and wanted a hero to save her."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and Shen Jinghan laughed too. He didn't respond to his subordinate's joke, but just stared at the direction Huaiyin left in a daze.

The next day, Shen Jinghan blocked the door of Huaiyin's house, threw the copper plate in his hand, and smiled brightly at Huaiyin: "Yesterday's tea money is still left, I will bring it to you."

Chang Huaiyin looked at him dumbfounded this time: "...Master Jun, why bother to make this extra trip, these copper coins are not enough for your car money."

"Our army is diligent in government and loves the people. Even if it is a few copper coins, we cannot be greedy."

"..."

On the third day, on time, Huaiyin saw Commander Shen in military uniform again in front of the door.Head Shen smiled kindly: "We Chinese pay more attention to human relations. There are exchanges. You invited me to drink tea a while ago, but now I invite you to dinner."

"...That little tea money, how is it worth being a military master to treat me to a meal." Huaiyin was helpless, the man refused to listen to persuasion, and couldn't push him away, so he had to deal with him patiently.

"The point is the heart! It has nothing to do with the amount of money." Captain Shen pushed forward, "What do you like to eat? Let's walk?"

"No need, I don't care about the military master."

"It's okay, I have feelings for you!"

"..."

Afterwards, Shen Jinghan racked his brains to create all kinds of accidents to meet him by chance, and appeared in front of Huaiyin for all kinds of weird reasons.A month later, Huaiyin, who was blocked at the door of his house again, finally couldn't take it anymore, and spread her hands in front of Shen Jinghan.

Captain Shen looked at the white and slender hand in front of him, and it took a lot of effort not to grasp it. He asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

"Give me back the tea money, I've been blocking me for a month, Mr. Jun, what do you want?"

"You invited me to tea, why don't you want to go back with me." Shen Jinghan smiled and laughed at him, "I just think we are destined, why not be friends?"

"Fate?" Thinking of Shen Jinghan's 360-degree siege, even Huaiyin's self-cultivated demeanor couldn't help but roll his eyes, but Shen Jinghan pretended to be invisible.

Seeing this, Huaiyin was really angry and funny, he said helplessly: "Tell me, why don't you block me."

"Dinner with me tonight!"

"Won't it block me after eating?"

"Tomorrow will not be blocked." Shen Jinghan said with two fingers facing the sky, swearing.

Huaiyin didn't even have the strength to get angry, so she simply broke the jar and nodded.Head Shen was overjoyed and immediately decided on the time and place for dinner.

The place for dinner was set at a high-end restaurant. After the meal, Huaiyin straight-forwardly picked up the topic: "What's your purpose for blocking me for a month?"

Shen Jinghan put down his chopsticks, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I said before, I want to be friends with you."

"..." Huaiyin was stunned for a moment, and then said softly, "We are friends now, can you not block my door the day after tomorrow?"

"It's a great honor for you to recognize me as a friend, but I never said that being friends with you is my ultimate goal." The corners of Shen Jinghan's lips raised, revealing a smile that was sure to win.

Huaiyin's eyes widened:? ? ?

Shen Jinghan smiled slightly, and his words were not surprising: "Huaiyin, I, Shen Jinghan, love you. From the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you at first sight..."

At that moment, it was as if a thunder had exploded on the ground, and there was only a loud noise, which made Huaiyin's head go blank, but the sentence "Love at first sight" was played back indefinitely, and he couldn't hear a word of what Shen Jinghan said afterwards.In the past ten years of following the rules, he never thought that he would be shown his love by a man in full view.At that moment, his whole life seemed to be turned upside down. Shen Jinghan's words "I am happy with you" shattered his previously formed concepts. He no longer cared whether he would offend the officer in front of him, and stood up after cursing "ridiculous". want to go.

But how could Shen Jinghan let him leave easily? Seeing him stand up, Shen Jinghan followed him up quickly, leaped over and grabbed Huaiyin's hand: "Don't be annoyed! Look at me pampering you!" Yes, if there is a disagreement, we will leave!"

"I don't care if you pet me?!" Huaiyin was in a state of anxiety at the moment, and Shen Jinghan easily diverted the topic.

"Look at my mouth. I really can't speak. It's because I care about you and want to spoil you forever."

Huaiyin has come to his senses now, the issue between him and Shen Jinghan is not to be favored or not, but he was raised by his mother in a deep courtyard since he was a child, and he blushed instantly when he heard the love words in his ear .He also didn't want to talk to Shen Jinghan any more, so he shook off Shen Jinghan's hand vigorously, and walked out at a faster pace.Shen Jinghan was not annoyed either, and with a "puchi" smile, he suddenly caught up with Huaiyin's knees, picked him up in his arms, rolled his hands, and carried him on his shoulders.

"What are you doing!" Huaiyin exclaimed, kicking and kicking to get off Shen Jinghan's body.Shen Jinghan freed his hand to pat his buttocks, and said with a smile, "Snatch a wife~"

Huaiyin couldn't break free, so he kicked him angrily, Shen Jinghan was in pain, turned his head and bit Huaiyin's side waist through his clothes.

…………

After that, Shen Jinghan didn't care whether Huaiyin annoyed him or not, and reported to Huai's house on a regular basis every day. After several years of sweet talk and endless hospitality, he finally got Huaiyin's hundred-year-old steelmaker It turned into soft fingers.

That was the happiest time in Shen Jinghan's life. The person he loved finally accepted his affection.Huaiyin is quiet by nature, but when he visits, he will turn his face to show a smile.Every time he sees Huai Yin like this, Shen Jinghan's heart beats faster. He is willing to use everything he has to protect this smile.

A thought gradually became clear in Shen Jinghan's mind - in his life, it is not enough to have a successful career and love someone, he wants to stay with Huaiyin in an open and honest way, he wants to give Huaiyin a name, let everyone who sees Anyone who came to Huaiyin knew that this person belonged to him, Shen Jinghan.He wants to be buried in the same cave as Huaiyin a hundred years later, and go to reincarnation together.

This thought of his, like water dripping into a pool, caused violent fluctuations in the Shen family.Shen's mother came forward and arranged a marriage for him, Shen Jinghan naturally would not agree, he had a fierce conflict with his family, and in the end, he was escorted into the ancestral hall by the aggrieved Shen family.

Shen Jinghan knelt in the ancestral hall, surrounded by a group of people, men and women, old and young, some with concerned faces, some with sarcasm, and more people who had nothing to do with themselves.They pointed at Shen Jinghan and whispered, until an old man coughed heavily, and the surroundings fell silent.The old man glared at Shen Jinghan, he cleared his throat, and accused with a sad face: "Jinghan, you are the eldest son of this generation, and sooner or later the Shen family will be handed over to you. But tell me now, you Falling in love with a man, want to marry him?"

"I love him." Shen Jinghan said, his voice was deep but firm, not at all the frivolous and overbearing when he met Huaiyin on the street.Really falling in love with someone will make people more mature and responsible.

The old man sighed in a low voice: "Jing Han, you are promising. How about this, you are raising him outside, and we have the right to pretend that we don't know about it, but don't mention the matter of marrying him. You listen to your mother and take Liu The eldest lady of the family is married back..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Shen Jinghan interrupted him: "Impossible, in my life, I will only marry the person I love."

"Confused." The old man stomped his cane angrily, "I'm doing this for your own good."

Shen Jinghan sneered: "If you really want to do my best, let me marry him back."

"What's wrong with Miss Liu's family?" A crying middle-aged woman said suddenly, "Mother has been screened for a long time, she has a good family background, looks and temper, why can't she match you?"

Shen Jinghan remained silent.Amidst the woman's cries, the old man became angry with embarrassment: "Okay, since you don't listen to the persuasion, don't blame my family for taking care of you. Come and hit me!"

The stick as thick as the baby's arm lashed at Shen Jinghan fiercely, venting the anger and injustice of the Shen family.And Shen Jinghan was kneeling so straight, without even the slightest bend in his spine, only occasionally let out a muffled groan, indicating that he was enduring great pain at the moment.

At this moment, Shen Jinghan is not that mysterious and powerful demon, he is just an ordinary person, silently enduring pain and blame in order to stay with his lover.

After the family law was over, seeing that Shen Jinghan didn't have the slightest intention of repenting, the old man was furious and said, "Repent and reflect on yourself!" and led everyone away.

The moment the gate of the ancestral hall was slammed shut, Shen Jinghan fell to the ground.He was seriously injured, and the Shen family's family law was no joke, but he was already prepared.He knew very well that insisting on marrying a man would undoubtedly ruin his career in the army, which also meant that the glory of Shen's generation would end on him.The Shen family cared most about the honor of the future, and he would ruin his own future, the Shen family would absolutely not tolerate it.

This time, the family law was not mixed at all, and after such a solid beating, it was thanks to Shen Jinghan's strong body that he didn't suffer from the beating.Afterwards, the confinement lasted for several days. Later, Shen Jinghan's adjutant took him out on the pretext of having something to do with the army.

When leaving Shen's house, Shen Jinghan's face was pale, he refused the adjutant's help, and got into the car by himself.When the adjutant asked him where he was going, he reported Huaiyin's residence without even thinking about it.

"Captain, why don't you consider what the old lady said? She is sincerely doing it for your own good! If you really marry a man, what will others think of you?!" The adjutant looked at the embarrassed boss from the rearview mirror, several times He hesitated to speak, but finally persuaded him to speak.

"I don't care, I only care about being able to stay with the one I love forever." Shen Jinghan waved his hand, his body throbbing, he grinned and stopped the adjutant's words.

"But……"

"Enough is enough, Adjutant Sun, I don't want to hear such words a second time."

"Yes……"

After driving in silence for a while, the car slowly stopped in front of Huai's house.Huaiyin came up to meet her, and seeing Shen Jinghan's pale face, a hint of distress flashed in her eyes: "What happened?"

Shen Jinghan shook his head, stretched out his hand to embrace Huaiyin into his arms, the latter was taken aback for a moment, then relaxed his body and leaned into his arms docilely.

Shen Jinghan hugged Huaiyin's arm tightly, bowed his head and kissed his forehead.

"Does your family disagree? That's fine. I wouldn't agree with this shocking thing. It's fine like this. Even if we don't get married, we can stay together forever." Huaiyin reached out and patted On the back of the man, who knows that the usually tough man groaned, Huai Yin immediately pushed him away, "Are you injured?! Did your family fight you?"

"It's not going to work. I want to marry you and let everyone in the city know that you, Huaiyin, are my daughter-in-law, Shen Jinghan." Seeing Huaiyin's worried expression, Shen Jinghan suddenly smiled, and pulled him into the door , "It's really not a big deal, the previous few battles were more serious than this."

At the end, he also sighed: "It's not easy for my daughter-in-law to know how to care about me."

"Young poor, come quickly and let me see where the injury is?" Huaiyin was teased by Shen Jinghan, brought a medical kit, and pushed people into the house to apply the medicine. He had to look at it to know whether the injury was serious or not.

At this moment, neither of them turned their heads back, and they didn't know that Shen Jinghan's adjutant looked at the direction in which they were leaving in the car parked in front of Huai's house with a grim expression.

Just when Shen Jinghan was in a stalemate with his family, he who was always blocking people was actually blocked when he went out.Shen's mother was the fiancée that Shen Jinghan had decided on. She brought a little maid and blocked the head of Shen at the door aggressively.

"Master Shen, I'm Liu Wanying." Miss Liu's family clutched her skirt with a look of unwillingness, "I want to know why you refuse to marry me?"

Rao was at that time when foreign ideas were introduced into China, and there were more so-called "progressive elements" among young people, but this was the first time Shen Jinghan had seen such a woman who boldly chased after a man's house.

"I have a lover." Shen Jinghan was polite and distant.

"What's wrong with me? Is it not good enough for you?" Liu Wanying bit her lower lip lightly, her expression aggrieved.

"I have a lover, so naturally I want to marry him. It has nothing to do with what kind of person you are." Shen Jinghan patiently explained again, he has always been a gentleman when dealing with ladies.

"I heard that he is a man," Liu Wanying paused, and said gently, "Listen to my father, your Shangfeng is going to promote you, and if you marry me, your position as brigade commander will be secured. Uncle Shen will not agree with you Self-destructive..."

"That's enough, Miss Liu." Shen Jinghan lowered his face, "I won't trade the appearance of my lover for the prosperity of my family. Please respect yourself."

"Self-respect? What's wrong with me striving for my happiness?!" Liu Wanying took a few steps forward, getting closer to Shen Jinghan. She stood still in front of him and looked up at the tall man.Ever since she learned that Shen's family had come to talk about marriage, she had been in ecstasy. This young regiment commander was in many a girl's dream, including her naturally.

"I don't mind sharing you with him. I can give you a future for your heirs, and let your Shen family be safe and help you end this messy life. With these alone, am I, Liu Wanying, not enough to be your wife?"

"Miss Liu, I don't hit women, so don't force me to make an exception." Shen Jinghan was really annoyed by this young lady who didn't know the so-called, and he endured it again and again, "In my heart, a hundred of you are not as good as Huai One finger."

After uttering harsh words, Shen Jinghan bypassed Liu Wanying and left without seeing her crying face.
