Rebirth of a Village Girl

calm.

Ni Yan made him feel too calm.

Shangguan Dehui even had the illusion that Ni Yan already knew what he was going to say.

Although this child was only eighteen years old, he gave Shangguan Dehui an inexplicable sense of oppression. It felt like a student who had done something wrong saw the teacher, but he was clearly the teacher.

Shangguande picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, trying hard to calm down and thinking about the words in his mind.

Ni Yan was not in a hurry and gently stirred the coffee in the cup. She did not speak until Shangguan Dehui did.

Although the atmosphere was quiet, it was not awkward.

It wasn't until all the dishes were served that Shangguan Dehui said, "Yanyan."

"Well, tell me." Ni Yan put down the silver spoon in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Dehui.

Looking directly into the triangle area of ​​the other person's eyes when speaking is the most basic form of respect for people.

Since Shangguan Dehui had something important to tell her, she naturally had to show the respect that a junior should have.

"Yanyan, your mother and I have actually known each other more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was an educated youth working in a forest farm..." Shangguan Dehui calmly told Ni Yan about his and Ni Cuihua's past. , of course, erasing that period of 'playing hooligan' in the past.

"Later, I went to many places to look for her. Maybe it was by fate. After a sudden glimpse, I never saw her again."

Gradually, Shangguan Dehui became less nervous.

During this process, Ni Yan never looked anything special. She was always quiet, like a listener.

No wonder Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui got along so harmoniously yesterday.

It turns out that the two of them had known each other for a long time.

Fate is really wonderful.

Shangguan Dehui continued:

"My name is Shangguan Dehui. I am forty-three years old and currently teach at Qinghua University. My mother is still alive at home and has two children, a son and a daughter. My wife died in childbirth early and I am single now. I want to pursue Your mother Ni Cuihua!”

Yes.

He wants to pursue Ni Cuihua.

The youth that has passed for more than 20 years leaves no regrets.

Ni Yan was stunned for a moment.

Although she had been prepared, she did not expect Shangguan Dehui to be so direct.

Love belongs to two people. As a child, you cannot interfere with your parents' love.

The reason why Shangguan Dehui told her this was to seek her daughter's consent. This showed that Shangguan Dehui respected Ni Cuihua and valued this relationship.

In love, the most important thing is respect.

This also shows that Shangguan Dehui is not a selfish person.

If he was a selfish person, he wouldn't tell her this.

Ni Yan smiled slightly, "Uncle Shangguan, the most important thing in a relationship is consensual consent. I am not my mother, and I cannot represent her, let alone make decisions for her. So, I think you still have to follow up on this matter. she says."

Ni Yan spoke the truth.

She will not interfere with Ni Cuihua's feelings. As long as the other person's character is good, she has no other intentions. Even if Ni Cuihua falls in love with a beggar, Ni Yan will not object.

Moreover, Ni Yan also had a very good impression of Shangguan Dehui.

Her intuition told her that Shangguan Dehui could bring happiness to Ni Cuihua, so she had no objection to Shangguan Dehui pursuing Ni Cuihua.

Shangguan Dehui questioned his hearing and vision for a moment.

Isn't Ni Yan angry?

He wanted to pursue Ni Cuihua, wouldn't Ni Yan be angry at all?

He has seen many single-parent families. If one parent wants to find a partner, the children will object, including the one with Lin Fang. Chang Yue even slightly objected.

I originally thought that Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi were already sensible children, but I didn't expect that Ni Yan was more sensible than them.

Shangguan Dehui had even prepared what he should say to impress Ni Yan if Ni Yan objected.

"So, Yanyan, you don't object to me pursuing your mother, right?"

"No objection." Ni Yan continued: "The first half of her life was bitter enough. In the second half of her life, I hope she can live a sweeter life. However, there is one thing I want to say before..."

Having said this, Ni Yan paused for a moment.

"Yanyan, tell me."

Ni Yan said: "My mother has a simple nature, otherwise she would not have been deceived so miserably in the first half of her life. Uncle Shangguan, if you can pursue her, please treat her well. Otherwise, who am I?" Everything can be done!”

This sentence carries some warning.

At the same time, Ni Yan bent the silver spoon in his hand with one hand.

She is not joking. If Shangguan Dehui dares to bully Ni Cuihua, she will make Shangguan Dehui pay the price!

Shangguan Dehui didn't seem to expect Ni Yan to make such a move, and was slightly stunned.

This kid is acting less and less like an eighteen-year-old.

She was more like an out-of-touch superior, exuding coercion inadvertently, making people shudder, and making him, a teacher, feel an unknown oppression.

"Yanyan, don't worry. As long as your mother is willing, I promise to spend the rest of my life protecting her. She will not be wronged in the slightest!" The person who has missed half of his life is now lost and found again. No one can understand Shangguan Dehui's mood. .

Let alone being wronged, he would not let Ni Cuihua suffer even from the corner of his eye.

Ni Yan nodded, "Then please uncle Shangguan remember what you said today."

"I swear!" Shangguan Dehui raised three fingers, "If I violate my oath today, I will be struck by thunder!"

After finishing the meal, Ni Yan said goodbye.

Shangguan Dehui smiled and sent Ni Yan outside the restaurant.

Shangguan Dehui was smiling all the way back to Shangguan's house.

"Dehui, you are in a good mood today." Shangguan's old lady walked out of the back room.

"mom."

The old lady Shangguan looked at Shangguan Dehui in a good mood, so she repeated the old conversation.

"How have you considered what mom told you last time? Not everyone in this world is Lin Fang. You can't give up on everyone just because of one Lin Fang."

Shangguan Dehui naturally knew what the old lady Shangguan was talking about, and he continued: "Mom, don't worry, sometimes fate can't be stopped when it comes."

Such as now.

He never dreamed that one day he would meet Da Ya again.

He always thought that he would have to go to hell to meet her again when he was young.

The sky is not thin!

The old lady Shangguan was stunned for a moment, wondering what Shangguan Dehui was thinking, "Dehui, what do you mean?"

Shangguan Dehui said with a smile: "Mom, I have made you worry these days. It won't happen again in the future."

The old lady Shangguan narrowed her eyes, "Dehui, are you seeing someone outside?"

Shangguan Dehui said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"Tell mom which girl it is!" Shangguan old lady was very excited.

Shangguan Dehui said: "Mom, don't be too happy now. The horoscope hasn't been revealed yet. I'll tell you about it when I catch him."

After saying this, the old lady Shangguan became even more excited!

"Great! Great! Now I can close my eyes even if I die!"

Shangguan Dehui said: "Mom, don't say these unlucky words."

"Okay, okay, don't tell me, don't tell me!"

In the next few days, Shangguan Dehui would appear at Ni's house from time to time.

And they always appear when Ni Cuihua needs him most.

For example, when the fuse at home burns out, Ni Yan is not at home, and no one replaces it...

For example, when little Ni Yun clamored for her to hug her, but there was still porridge in the pot...

Ni Yan is often away from home, and it is impossible not to have a man at home.

Although Shangguan Dehui is a teacher, with eyes and a gentle appearance, he is not a showman. After all, when he was young, he was also a leader. He has a lot of strength!

Carrying water, chopping firewood, and even going to the fields to pick vegetables.

Although Shangguan Dehui often comes to Ni's house, no one in the village gossips. Ni Cuihua is a good person, and Ni Yan helps everyone a lot on weekdays. Everyone hopes that Ni Cuihua can be happy.

How can a family do without a man?

Although no one in Jinghua Village gossips, there is a lot of gossip in the next village.

The field of Xiaozhuang's family happens to be next door to the field of Niuer's family in the neighboring village.

Xiao Zhuang's mother is collecting aloe vera, and Niu Er's mother is collecting rice.

Niu Erma asked curiously: "Is your aloe vera really selling for 25 cents per catty now?"

Xiao Zhuang’s mother nodded, “No, our family has sold several crops. If we can’t make money, why would we grow this thing?”

Niu Erma said with envy: "According to this, growing aloe vera can make more money than growing rice! Why don't our village have such good luck?"

Xiao Zhuang's mother said proudly: "Who makes your village not have a little lucky star!"

Now in the next few villages, who doesn’t know that there is a lucky star named Ni Yan in Jinghua Village?

Niu Er's mother continued: "I heard that the mother of the little lucky star in your village likes to be unclear with men. Little Zhuang's mother and little Zhuang's father are young, strong and good-looking! You have to be careful. Point! Don’t let him be seduced by the vixens outside.”

This sentence has the meaning of sowing discord.

If you are a soft-eared person, you have been instigated!

In fact, Niu Erma is here to sow discord. It just so happens that Ni Cuihua has been close to Guan Dehui during this period. She can make a big fuss. Now everyone sees that people in Jinghua Village are making money. Who is not jealous?

Once the villagers in Jinghua Village fall out with Ni Cuihua, Ni Cuihua and the others will move out of Jinghua Village. When the time comes, they take advantage of the situation and the little lucky star will become the little lucky star of their village!

Niu Erma is the village chief’s daughter-in-law! So scheming!

Little Strong Mom is not a fool either! He shouted back on the spot!

"Bah! Zhang Yinfeng, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! Even before you stick your butt out, I already know that you are going to shit and fart!"

Want to play tricks on her?

no way!

Zhang Yinfeng was a little embarrassed, "Little strong mother, what you said is so unpleasant! I'm doing this for your own good! Don't be ignorant! That woman is not a good thing in the first place, and a widow is still flirting with three people. Fourth, you don’t follow the rules of women!”

"Zhang Yinfeng!" Xiao Zhuang's mother put down the scissors in her hands, came directly to Zhang Yinfeng, took her hand, and said angrily: "Please speak clearly to me today! Who is flirting with others! Who is not keeping up with women? !”

Ni Cuihua is kind and kind to everyone, and Xiao Zhuang's mother will never allow anyone to insult her like this!

When Zhang Yinfeng saw Xiao Zhuang's mother like this, she immediately became angry!

"What! Lu Chunmiao! You can still hit people! She, Ni Cuihua, is just a flirt! Unruly! Shameless vixen! How could I be wrong! Hit me if you can! Come on, come over here Fight!" Zhang Yinfeng pointed at his face.

Lu Chunmiao was known as an honest person in Jinghua Village. How dare she hit her?

What a joke!

As soon as he said this, Zhang Yinfeng received a solid slap on the face.

Zhang Yinfeng screamed, "Ah! How dare you hit me!"

Zhang Yinfeng was a bitch in her own right. She didn't even hiccup when she scolded people, and her words were as unpleasant as they sounded. She sat on the ground crying for her father and mother, and cursed Lu Chunmiao for not being a human being.

The sound of movement here attracted many people working in the fields to watch the fun.

Zhang Yinfeng immediately started crying when she saw so many people there. After all, she was the one who was beaten.

Everyone accused Lu Chunmiao, how could he hit people casually? Others suggested that Lu Chunmiao take Zhang Yinfeng to the health center for a checkup and apologize to Zhang Yinfeng.

Among these people were those from Jinghua Village and those from the neighboring village.

When Lu Chunmiao saw that everyone was helping Zhang Yinfeng, she immediately became anxious, "Just ask me to apologize to this bitch. Why don't you ask me why I hit this bitch!"

The village head of Jinghua Village stood up and said: "No matter what the reason is, it is wrong to beat people. Don't worry, Comrade Zhang Yinfeng, we people in Jinghua Village are not unreasonable!"

When Zhang Yinfeng heard this, he immediately became excited and lay on the ground, saying that his whole body hurt and he wanted Lu Chunmiao to take responsibility.

"Bah! I take your mother's responsibility!" Lu Chunmiao looked at the village chief, "Village chief, do you know what this bitch said about Yanyan's mother? She said that Yanyan's mother was a vixen who flirted with others. , unruly!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately changed his face!

The surrounding villagers also changed their faces and stood behind Lu Chunmiao.

Dare you scold Ni Cuihua!

Ni Cuihua is the mother of the little lucky star in their village!

No wonder Lu Chunmiao couldn't bear it.

However, Zhang Yinfeng didn't realize that something was wrong before she could realize that something was wrong. There happened to be a lot of women here, so she could take this opportunity to sow discord, "What? I don't want anyone to tell me that she's a vixen! She just flirts with others and doesn't follow the rules of women! You guys!" , be careful of your men, don’t be seduced by that vixen!”

Zhang Yinfeng became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, and finally she said all the ugly things.

"You bitch! Say it again! Do you believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!" The villager who was still helping Zhang Yinfeng suddenly rushed forward with his sleeves rolled up, looking like he was going to eat someone!

Zhang Yinfeng was startled and immediately stood up and hid behind the village chief, "Village Chief Li, look at these unruly people in your village! You have to make the decision for me!"

Village Chief Li pulled Zhang Yinfeng out from behind.

Zhang Yinfeng stumbled, almost falling, and looked up at Village Chief Li in disbelief.

Some people don’t understand why Village Chief Li suddenly changed his face!

Didn't you just look fair and want to make the decision for her?

Village Chief Li looked at Zhang Yinfeng condescendingly and said angrily:

"Comrade Zhang Yinfeng, please explain! What does seduction mean? What does it mean to be unruly? Comrade Ni Cuihua is single now! Since she is single, she has the right to choose her own happiness! China has been liberated for decades! You Do you still think that this is the Qing Dynasty, and widows should live a chastity memorial? If I remember correctly, your natal sister remarried not long ago! So, she is also a vixen! If she is a vixen, who are you? Vixen’s sister? Comrade Zhang Yinfeng, do you know what your current behavior is called slander? You will be held legally responsible!”

After the village chief said this, other villagers in Jinghua Village echoed, "That's right, what age are we in! Men and women have been equal and free to love for a long time!"

"Zhang Yinfeng knows how to talk about others. Why can't she see her sister? I remember that before her man died, her sister was flirting with several men! She was even caught and raped in bed by her mother-in-law!"

"real or fake?"

"No!"

These words fell in Zhang Yinfeng's ears, making her blush with shame. She wanted to sow discord, but she didn't expect that she would be the one who was embarrassed in the end.

But Zhang Yinfeng is not someone who gives up so easily, "Ni Cuihua is a vixen! Shameless! You don't know good people's hearts. Sooner or later you will regret it!"

Zhang Yinfeng's behavior completely annoyed the villagers of Jinghua Village.

Everyone rolled up their sleeves and looked like they had no choice but to fight with Zhang Yinfeng.

"Zhang Yinfeng! Try saying it again!"

"If anyone has trouble with Yanyan's mother, he will be the first to have trouble with me, Zhou Dalan!"

"I think this bitch deserves a beating! I'm sure she'll behave after a good beating!"

"You are the vixen, and your whole family is a vixen! It's a disgrace."

Zhang Yinfeng was stunned!

She never expected that Village Chief Li and other villagers would defend Ni Cuihua so much.

In turn, she was bullied by the people in Jinghua Village, but the villagers in their village didn't even dare to fart.

It’s not that they didn’t speak for Zhang Yinfeng, it was Zhang Yinfeng who was being unreasonable!

Who made Zhang Yinfeng offend the last person in Jinghua Village who should not be offended?

Isn’t this deserved?

Zhang Yinfeng sat on the ground and stepped back.

Village Chief Li continued: "Zhang Yinfeng, let's forget this matter. If we hear you gossiping and slandering Comrade Ni Cuihua from behind, we in Jinghua Village will never let you go so easily!" "

"Okay, let's all disperse and go back to work!"

Zhang Yinfeng was almost mad to death.

Did she lose in that fight in their village?

But we lost so miserably this time!

"Forget it? Just let it go after Lu Chunmiao from your village slapped me? Do you really think I'm that easy to bully?" Zhang Yinfeng rolled up her sleeves and stood up from the ground.

The village chief looked back at Zhang Yinfeng, "Slap you? What's wrong with slapping you? Not convinced? You have to hold it in even if you're not convinced! Let me tell you! Our people in Jinghua Village are not that easy to bully! If there's another time, If anything happens, it won’t be as simple as a slap! If something happens, we in Jinghua Village will bear it together!”

The villagers behind the village chief said: "Yes! Let's carry it together! If you have the guts, you can say it again and try it again!"

At this time, Zhang Yinfeng had no choice but to give up!

A good man never suffers any immediate loss!

Why are the villagers in their village not as united as those in Jinghua Village?

Why isn't she from Jinghua Village?

Zhang Yinfeng tucked her tail between her legs and walked away dejectedly.

Here, Lu Chunmiao walked into the crowd like a hero.

"Little Zhuang Mom, that slap was such a relief! Who the hell is Zhang Yinfeng? She's like that and still wants to sow discord!"

"Zhang Yinfeng just deserves a beating!"

The village chief walked in front and turned around and said: "What happened today should be kept in our hearts and treated as if nothing happened, so as not to spread the news to Yanyan's mother and bring unnecessary burden to her. "

"Village Chief, look at what you said! Do we seem to be so ignorant?"

"That's right, it's hard for Yanyan's mother to meet someone who can live a good life. We can't scare him away!"

The village chief said happily: "If you all think so, then I will feel more relieved."

Ni family.

After Ni Yan came back from the city, she took a watering can and went to water the flowers and plants in the yard of her new house.

While she was filling the kettle, she revealed a fair and slender wrist.

There is a transparent jade bracelet on her wrist, shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Ni Cuihua said curiously: "Yanyan, when did you buy the bracelet? It's so beautiful!"

Ni Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I forgot to tell you, this bracelet was given to me by Grandma Liu."

Ni Cuihua was surprised, "This bracelet seems to be worth a lot of money. How could you, a kid, accept such an expensive bracelet from Grandma Liu?"

Grandma Liu is an old woman living alone, and her life is difficult. This bracelet may be the most valuable thing she has.

Ni Yan explained what happened to Ni Cuihua.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Ni Cuihua nodded, "Since it is your Grandma Liu's intention, then you should take it well. Your Grandma Liu is alone. We must be nicer to others in the future."

Ni Cuihua is not a person who likes to take advantage. Now that the bracelet cannot be taken off, she can only try to be nicer to Grandma Liu.

"Well, I know, Mom." Ni Yan continued: "By the way, Mom, I have something to do tonight, and I may have to go out soon."

Ni Cuihua was slightly startled, "Get out? It's almost six o'clock. Where are you going?"

"Go to the city." Ni Yan replied.

"Then do you want mom to accompany you? It's so late!" Ni Cuihua was a little worried.

"No need." Ni Yan shook his head, "I can do it alone."

"Okay then." Ni Cuihua continued: "Remember to go home early."

Today is the 9th day of the 9th month of the lunar calendar. If Ni Yan remembers correctly, what happened to the senior brother he has never met before happened tonight.

Both his master and his wife were Chinese medicine practitioners, but they gave birth to a son who was rebellious and loved martial arts.

It was while working as a bodyguard for a rich man that the eldest brother met a gangster and finally lost his life.

In Ni Yan's memory, the accident was quite serious. It seemed that two people died at that time, one was the senior brother, and the other was the senior brother's employer.

It was a hazy night, and Ni Yan was riding a bicycle on the road.

"Stop!" Zheng Wenjing was sitting in the back seat of the car and suddenly asked the driver to stop.

Hearing this, the driver immediately stopped the car.

"I still have things to deal with, so you should go back first." Zheng Wenjing picked up the beige coat placed in the back seat, opened the door and got out of the car, and looked back at the driver.

"Okay, ma'am." The driver nodded.

The reason why Zheng Wenjing suddenly asked the driver to stop was because she saw Mo Baichuan.

After identifying Mo Baichuan as Mr. Mog, she would certainly not miss any opportunity to contact Mo Baichuan.

"Brother Baichuan." Zheng Wenjing walked over and took Mo Baichuan's arm.

"Quiet." Mo Baichuan looked away from the figure at the end of the street.

Zheng Wenjing squinted her eyes and looked over there unconsciously. At this glance, her pupils shrank slightly.

is her!

Ni Yan!

She was also the daughter of the man who asked his dead wife to take her hair for appraisal.

Zheng Wenjing concealed her expression very well and said softly: "Brother Baichuan, it's so late, what are you doing here?"

"He's waiting for me." At this moment, another female voice suddenly appeared in the air.

Zheng Wenjing looked up and saw a domineering face with heavy makeup.

Zhao Jingrong!

Why is Zhao Jinrong here too?

Zheng Wenjing suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Jingrong forcefully pulled Zheng Wenjing's hand away from Mo Baichuan's arm, took Mo Baichuan's hand in her own, and raised a smile of a winner at the corner of her mouth, "Baichuan, why don't you introduce me to Miss Zheng?"

Mo Baichuan looked at Zheng Wenjing and continued, "This is my girlfriend Zhao Jingrong."

What?

What did she hear?

Zheng Wenjing's face instantly turned pale.

Zhao Jingrong is actually with Mo Baichuan!

How is this going?

Compared to the tainted Sun Dalian, Zhao Jingrong is much more difficult to deal with!

After all, Zhao Jingrong is a legitimate daughter of a famous family!

"Brother Baichuan! How can you be with her!"

Zhao Jingrong smiled slightly, "Excuse me, Miss Zheng, why can't I be with Baichuan?"

"Brother Baichuan!" Zheng Wenjing looked at Zhao Jingrong and said, "Miss Zhao used to be Uncle Mo's sixth fiancée! She almost became your sixth aunt! How can you be with her!"

Zheng Wenjing couldn't accept anyone being with Mo Baichuan except herself.

How could this be?

She tried her best and spent 30,000 yuan, but in the end she got an advantage over Zhao Jingrong!

How could Zheng Wenjing be reconciled to this?

Zhao Jingrong smiled and said: "Miss Zheng's ideas are really old-fashioned. The Zheng family is not unconditional, so why didn't Miss Zheng go abroad to see the world? You also said that I used to be Mo Qishen's fiancée. Now that the engagement has been terminated, it is natural that the marriage between man and woman has nothing to do with me. Who am I going to be with? Do I still need to say hello to Miss Zheng? "

"Or, Miss Zheng, do you have undue thoughts about other people's boyfriends?"

When Zhao Jingrong said the last sentence, the corners of her mouth were full of mockery. She was not that easy to offend.

It was not easy for Zheng Wenjing to snatch Mo Baichuan away from her.

Zheng Wenjing's face turned from white to red. She turned to look at Mo Baichuan, "Brother Baichuan! What is going on! Grandpa Mo and Grandma Mo will never agree to you being together!"

"This has nothing to do with you." Mo Baichuan said.

He just wanted to be with Zhao Jingrong.

Since Mo Qishen can be with Ni Yan, why can't he be with Zhao Jinrong?

Didn't Ni Yan say that she and Mo Qishen truly love each other?

He wanted to see how long those two people could keep pretending!

Zheng Wenjing was furious, "Brother Baichuan, how could you do this! It's wrong for you to do this!"

"Baichuan, let's go." Zhao Jingrong looked at Mo Baichuan.

"Okay." Mo Baichuan nodded.

"Brother Baichuan!" Zheng Wenjing grabbed Mo Baichuan's clothes unwillingly.

Zhao Jingrong turned around and opened Zheng Wenjing's hand finger by finger, "Miss Zheng, if you still want to show off your face, don't do such embarrassing things. Even if you are shameless, Mrs. Zheng still needs shame." ”

Zheng Wenjing was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and she could only watch helplessly as Zhao Jingrong took Mo Baichuan away.

no!

She absolutely cannot lose to Zhao Jingrong!

Zheng Wenjing looked at Zhao Jingrong's back, her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

The weather in September is already a bit cool, and the night is even colder.

Ni Yan wrapped her beige coat tightly around her body and walked into the alley ahead.

The silver-white moonlight cast a layer of radiance on her body.

The alley was quiet, not even the chirping of insects.

Ni Yan has been waiting here for a long time, but still no one is there.

Just when she thought she had remembered the date wrongly, rapid footsteps suddenly came from the alley.

"Dong dong dong!"

As soon as Ni Yan raised her head, she saw two people in suits and leather shoes running this way. There were no street lights in the alley, but with the moonlight and Ni Yan's superhuman five senses, she immediately recognized that these were the senior brother and his employer. !

Listening to the breathing, one of them has been injured!

Ni Yan frowned and immediately walked forward. As she walked, she took off her coat that was in the way.

In order to facilitate the fight, she specifically did not wear a cheongsam, but wore a white sweater, black trousers, and white sneakers.

"Pah!" She threw her coat aside and walked forward without fear. The breeze ruffled her long flowing hair. When she passed the two of them, her red lips parted lightly, "Hurry up. Run forward! Don’t look back, just leave the rest to me!”
