Aim at That Star

Chapter 43: The Boy I Like Is Tall And Bright

The outside world is wonderful.

The outside world is helpless.

The outside world is full of dangers beyond your imagination.

When the accident will come to you, you can’t predict at all.

The reason why Gu Changying cried like this is because she was robbed for the first time in her life as soon as she got off the train and before she could even drink a mouthful of hot tea.

That’s what happened-

Since Jiang Shi’s house was still some distance from the train station and Gu Changying had a lot of luggage, after getting off the train, Yan Wang decided to go to the carriage shop to rent a carriage.

However, the owner of the car dealership saw that they were not dressed like ordinary people, and Gu Changying’s accent was very strange, so he thought they were out-of-towners who didn’t know how to do it, and deliberately set a high price and wanted to slaughter them.

This made Yan Wang annoyed, a smart young man.

He asked Gu Changying to wait beside him, intending to have a good talk with the boss.

As for Gu Changying, to be honest, this is the first time she has carefully observed all living beings since she traveled to this era.

Whether it is the blue bricks and tiles on the streets, or passers-by wearing thick cotton jackets, or fashionable or old-fashioned hairstyles on women’s heads, as well as their waxy Jinling soft tones, they are all very novel to her. .

So when Yan Wang was not paying attention, she had already walked up to an old man who sold candied haws, and planned to buy a few strings of old-fashioned candied haws to taste the familiar taste.

However, before she could take the copper plate out of the purse, a large, dirty hand suddenly stretched out from the side and snatched away her purse.

He even pulled away her earrings along the way.

Pushing hard, Gu Changying’s earlobe hurt a lot.

Her first reaction was to shout “catch the thief”, and then aggressively chased the two robbers.

According to the idea of taking care of Chang Ying, the sky is bright and sunny, and there are people around, not to mention that these two thieves are skinny, and they don’t run very fast, so it is impossible for them to escape.

But she forgot two things.

First, she is a woman with small feet. Others run slowly, and she runs slower than others.

And after running for a while, the soles of my feet hurt, and I leaned against the alley to pant.

Second, the security at this time is far less than that of later generations, and the passers-by at this time are also far less bold than later generations. Wherever they dare, they will be involved in this kind of courageous thing.

Therefore, when she chased someone but failed to catch up, she was frustrated and angry, and finally decided that she was unlucky and planned to go back to the door of the carriage shop to find Yan Wang, but another big dirty hand suddenly stretched out from the side, desperately trying to kill her. Drag her deep into the alley.

Gu Changying was really panicked.

She screamed desperately, but someone covered her mouth.

She could feel the pain of being kicked fiercely in the bend of her knee, and she could see the disgusting smile and vicious eyes on the face of the person pressing on her.

The other party held her with one hand, while the other hand wandered around her wantonly, ripping off her collar indiscriminately…

Gu Changying closed his eyes in despair.

“Are you all right? Miss Gu? Are you okay, Miss Gu?”

It wasn’t until Yan Wang’s anxious and uneasy voice came from above that Gu Changying opened his eyes and realized that the restraint on his body had disappeared at some point.

The two people who had just kidnapped her were lying on the ground and holding her sternum, and she was relieved. The joy of the rest of her life swept her heart. If she hadn’t paid attention to her image in front of Yan Wang, she might have immediately cried.

No matter in the previous life or this life, Gu Changying was a cowardly otaku who had never been out of society, and her psychological quality was actually not that good.

So he suppressed the fear all the way, and the moment he saw Jiang Shi, he poured out completely.

In any case, this is the husband of her current body, and it is also the only familiar face she can find in this strange city from her memory.

– However, Jiang Shi’s indifferent reaction completely shattered her fantasy.

“what do you mean?”

She looked at him coldly, without wiping away the tears on her face, her whole body showed a cold and arrogant stubbornness, “It’s the first time I’ve seen the perpetrator be so arrogant and cynical to the victim, why, in your heart, Do you still think you are amazing?”

“I’m not as good as you.” Jiang Shi sneered, “One set in front of the other, and nodding in front of the young master. He married in as soon as he left, and now he is still very serious. Come to negotiate compensation. If you are sent to negotiate with foreigners, maybe they will give us land to pay compensation.”

“you!”

Gu Changying pointed at him, furious, “You scumbag, how shameless you are!”

“All right.”

Yu Kunyu was really helpless. Seeing that some people on the street were already attracted by the movement here, lest the two of them with sharp teeth and sharp mouths make a bigger joke, she quickly reached out and pulled Gu Changying into the yard, sighing, ” Even if you are unhappy, you can’t close the door, you have to stand outside and let people watch jokes and think it’s good?”

“Isn’t it the best sound for you to hear?”

Gu Changying shook her hand away, her eyes indifferent, “You don’t have to pretend in front of me, I have seen the white lotus flower of a higher rank than you, and this little trick of yours is not enough for me to watch.”

A higher-ranked white lotus?

Yu Kunyu was a little stunned: “…Are you complimenting me or hurting me?”

Gu Changying snorted coldly, looked away, and was too lazy to talk to such an ignorant **** like her.

After all, there is a saying that it is not very good to deal with women. If you want to deal with them, deal with men directly.

So she pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Jiang Shi, ignoring the messy hair on her head and the tattered clothes on her body, and said directly, “Let’s get straight to the point, daughter-in-law, your mother’s married, widow, I’ve been there for two years. A lot, but you cheated outside the marriage and cohabited with Xiao San openly, and now you are going to get a divorce, what kind of compensation is your Jiang family going to give?”

Jiang Shi looked at her with interest: “What kind of compensation do you want?”

“I said, will you give it?”

“You might as well talk about it first.”

“Well.”

Gu Changying took out a pen and paper from the suitcase.

The paper is hard paper, and the pen is a fountain pen. She holds the pen in a very standard posture, although the words she writes are messy, “First of all, I want alimony. On the way, I asked your subordinate Yan Wang, and he said he I don’t know what your salary is, but a major in his army can get 80 yuan a month, but he can’t use him. If you can send him, it means that the salary must be higher than 80 yuan. The ticket you buy shows that your financial situation is good… Forget it, I will treat you as 80 yuan a month. I wasted two years of youth in your family, 80 times 12 times 2 It’s equal to one thousand nine hundred and twenty, and it’s two thousand. I don’t want much money, right? You can’t afford it, can you?”

Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

“Then, if I want to study, you have to help me arrange a middle school, and I will take the university entrance exam by myself, so you don’t have to worry about it. I also want to rent a house in Jinling, you can help me pay the rent for two years, and I will live by myself after that. Find a way. Lastly, you and your lover should apologize publicly to me. I don’t care if you are in the newspaper or I want to gather your relatives and friends to hold a party. Anyway, you have to admit to everyone that Gu Changying once was. As a first-wife, we must recognize her dedication to the Jiang family in the past two years, rather than treat her like a slave and just come and go.”

Gu Changying pointed at the words on the paper that no one could understand except herself: “I taught myself how to write, so I can’t write well. If you agree to the conditions I mentioned, I will draw up another contract. Let’s sign it and sign it. From now on, be a stranger who has nothing to do with it, and don’t even say hello when you meet on the road.”

After she said such a long series of words, the courtyard has completely fallen into silence.

No one responded to her.

No one refuted her.

Gu Changying raised her head and frowned, “Is it true that you will answer or not?”

“It’s not me who is in charge of our family.”

Jiang Shi tilted his head lazily and motioned her to look at Yu Kunyu next to her, “You have to ask her.”

– And Yu Kunyu was already dead at this time.

To be honest, according to Jiang Shi’s description, she imagined what Gu Changying was like countless times.

Quiet, silent, shy, timid.

She never thought that Gu Changying, who really walked in front of her, would be such a sharp-spoken and tit-for-tat appearance.

The other party was still staring at her at the moment, expressionless: “Then what do you say? Promise or not?”

Yu Kunyu took a long time to recover from the shock, and frowned tangled: “Everything else is fine, just apologizing in the newspaper… I’m afraid it won’t work.”

“why?”

Gu Changying smiled sarcastically, “It’s just an apology, it’s not painful, it doesn’t cost a lot of money, and you’re willing to give a lot of money, why is it so difficult to apologize?”

“It’s not difficult to apologize, but I don’t think it’s all Jiang Shi’s fault.”

Yu Kunyu looked at her with a slow tone, “I remember that he told you in advance that he didn’t recognize the marriage, and you promised him. The promise is both parties’ commitment. If you have to admit it, you have to admit it yourself.”

Gu Changying twitched the corners of her lips and was about to speak, but was interrupted directly by the other party:

“I also wrote to ask his mother. His mother said that in fact, the Jiang family had many choices at the time, and there was a girl with better conditions than you, but your desire to marry was so strong that you even sent a matchmaker over. After negotiation, she persuaded Jiang Shi’s grandmother to agree to the marriage. This shows that you actually exerted more strength than the Jiang family for the marriage between you and Jiang Shi, right?”

“…”

“If you insist on being published in the newspaper, of course you can.”

Yu Kunyu raised her eyes lightly, “It’s just that I hope that not only Jiang Shi apologizes, but also you to apologize, to make things clear and clear, and the compensation we promised you to be listed one by one. Others who read the newspaper will judge, so I agree.”

After saying that, she shook her head again: “It’s just that although I can agree, I don’t agree. In the end, neither side is right about this matter. If you say it, it’s just to give people more money and ruin your reputation. Why bother.”

“Broken my reputation?”

Gu Changying finally got the chance to speak, and sneered, “What reputation do I have to ruin? If it wasn’t for the Jiang family’s news of marrying a wife, would my father have the opportunity to marry me to a scumbag like him? I She worked hard to serve her parents-in-law. She stayed at home for two whole years. She sewed clothes and made shoes all day. She was bullied by the Jiang family to the point that she couldn’t even get enough to eat. Have I said anything? You have already said all the nonsense, and you have to say that I am more wrong, how can there be such a robber logic in the world!”

“Where is the robber logic!”

Yu Kunyu was also caught off guard by her cynical attitude, “If it wasn’t for your reputation, why should I be so careful? Have you ever thought that if everyone in Jinling knew that you were married, the one behind you would be so careful? How to talk about marriage? Everything I propose is for your own good. I can even give you more money and rent the house for a longer time. You are young and have not experienced much in the world, so think about things Everything is too ideal, it doesn’t matter, I can explain it to you, but please show a peaceful attitude, otherwise how do you want me to talk to you?”

Ah.

That’s enough.

Enough is enough.

Gu Changying felt that today was absurd from beginning to end: “For my consideration? For my own good? Explain it to me? God, listen to this wording, Miss Yu, you are really a prosperous white lotus, a green tea **** in the world.”

Yu Kunyu didn’t understand what the prosperous white lotus meant.

But she keenly judged from the word “bitch” that it was definitely not a good word.

It’s not even a bad word in general.

And Gu Changying continued: “Let me tell you, although I am young, I am afraid that what I have experienced will not be comparable to yours in your life. You are such an aborigines with shallow knowledge and full of feudal thoughts, so don’t pretend to be a saint in front of me.”

“Why am I so full of…”

Gu Changying interrupted her, folded her arms and stared at her with contempt: “In my opinion, men and women are equal, since men can divorce and remarry, women can naturally also divorce and remarry, I feel that if a woman gets divorced, her reputation will be ruined, and marriage will be difficult. Tan, what is this not feudal thinking? As a woman, you help men in turn use these ideas to oppress women, it’s really sad.”

“…”

What Gu Changying said was right.

Completely, completely, absolutely correct.

Because it was too correct, Yu Kunyu couldn’t refute it at all.

Otherwise, she is helping men to oppress women with feudal ideology, and she is a sad woman.

So she took a deep breath and stood up: “Okay, since I’m some green tea **** who oppresses women, I won’t say anything so good? You talk to Jiang Shi yourself, everything, one after another. Everything, what does it have to do with me, I’m really a dog meddling with a rat!”

At this moment, Yu Kunyu felt extremely wronged.

It’s more than a hundred times more than a grievance from being pricked by a needle.

She wanted to cry so much.

But facing Gu Changying’s cold and contemptuous expression, she forcibly held back the tears.

Her upbringing from childhood to adulthood prevented her from saying too harsh words, so she could only crumple the paper in her hand and smash it in Jiang Shi’s arms: “The trouble you caused yourself, you can solve it yourself, and don’t bother me again. It’s gone!”

Then turn around and leave.

……

“You’re a very interesting lover.”

Gu Changying felt speechless, turned her head to look at Jiang, “It looks like I bullied her, obviously I’m the biggest victim, okay? I haven’t even cried yet!”

Jiang Shi crossed Erlang’s legs and hooked his lips casually.

“What’s your expression like?”

“It’s nothing. Just now I finally feel that you are indeed pitiful.”

“Aha?”

He yawned lazily: “Look at you, you can’t even say a word, now it’s alright, even the last person on your side was **** off by you.”

“What do you mean? … Forget it, I’m too lazy to talk about it, and Jiang Shi, are you still going around here with me at this time? Don’t talk about it, I came all the way to Jinling to listen to your singing, divorce. I have clearly laid out the conditions, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can mention it now, and we can continue to talk.”

Jiang Shi couldn’t help laughing: “Why should I talk to you?”

“……What did you say?”

The man stood up, strutted his long legs, and walked slowly in front of her.

When Gu Changying didn’t realize what was going to happen, he stretched out his hand from his trousers pocket, as if he was laying the groundwork before the magic trick, and his slender fingers turned so casually.

Dazzling, the thing on the waist has appeared in his hand.

The randomness of the action is just like playing.

But Gu Changying was stunned by the black gun.

The man’s index finger pressed on the trigger, calmly: “Since it’s trouble, wouldn’t it be more convenient to solve it with one shot?”

Gu Changying’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but step back: “What are you doing? Jiang Shi, murder is against the law!”

“So, do you think this is a society ruled by law?”

Jiang Shi frowned and leaned down, “Do you know how many people die every day in Jinling City? Those who smoked opium to death, those who couldn’t smoke it, those who were bombed to death by aerial bombs, those who starved to death, and those who were beaten to death by starving people. Yes, they were killed by foreigners and Japanese for no reason… tsk tsk tsk, there are too many to count, if the police station investigates every one of them, I’m afraid they will not be able to finish the investigation.”

“…You, don’t mess around! I, I just want to have a good talk with you!”

“What’s more, like you, you don’t have a serious status in Jinling City, and you don’t have any relatives and friends who can help. Even if I kill you immediately, no one in Jinling will know, let alone hold you accountable.”

Gu Changying’s body was stiff, and she didn’t dare to move, her back was soaked with cold sweat.

The wind of early spring carried a chill, even if it was only lightly brushed, it was cold into the bone marrow.

The man continued to speak, with a slow tone and a shallow smile, “Your father’s business is difficult now, except for your married daughter, there are still three sons to support, you say, if I tell him you He died accidentally on the road, and if you give him a lot of money, will he be held accountable?”

……Won’t.

Judging from the image of the father in the original body’s memory, the other party is so strong that he favors sons over daughters. For the sake of several sons, even if he kills her daughter himself, it is possible, let alone pursue it with Jiang Shi.

As long as you give him money, he won’t even let a fart.

The cold and hard muzzle pressed against the forehead at this moment, pressing it on the skin as if it was a sharp weapon, cutting the brain nerves every moment.

Gu Changying had never experienced such a scene before, her legs were so soft that she shivered one after another, and her whole body was shaking.

And Jiang Shi’s deep voice sounded in her ear, like Satan whispering, charming and cold: “It’s easier to kill you than to kill a mouse, what should I do, this once and for all method, I’m too moved. ”

The fear of death instantly enveloped his heart. To be honest, Gu Changying had never even seen a real gun in his life, let alone a gun pointed at his forehead.

She trembled like a sieve, and after holding on for three seconds, she collapsed to the ground.

The man lowered his eyes and looked down at her condescendingly.

Seemingly amused by her trembling look, she couldn’t help but curled her lips and stuffed the gun back into the gun pocket.

Then he stretched out his hand, index finger down, thumb forward, and gave her a gun gesture.

He opened his lips slightly, and his voice was almost inaudible: “Bang.”

“…”

It was only a finger pointing at her, but Gu Changying felt that her heartbeat stopped at that moment.

The whole person is like suffocation, sweaty, and completely breathless.

Jiang Shi put away his smile and glanced at her for the last time with a blank expression.

“never mind.”

He straightened up and said in a cold and light tone, “So as not to dirty Lao Tzu’s bullets.”

Then three steps, two steps, turned and walked upstairs.
