Chapter 322: He Puts the Bell in My Hand
The complete destruction of the cultivators who ruled Songhe City in one night was a great event for the city. But civilians living underground have not yet been informed of this.
So when it was daytime the next day, there were some small riots. The miners wandered around the mine, but they couldn't find a cultivator to oversee the clock. The peasants gathered at the gates of the city, but no one opened them.
The worst of all were those who were slaves in the cultivator's mansion and woke up early in the morning to find that their master was gone. Everyone stood there with pots and pans in their hands, at a loss.
These predictable chaos did not mix, and he staggered to find an uninhabited dormitory in the fortress, and fell asleep. Using the spirit of the Evil Aversion Sect still brought him a certain amount of pressure, after all, his physical body was not very strong.
This night, I slept dimly. even had a dream after a long absence. In the dream, Xiang Fei was feeding him grapes, and while eating, Sun Da went to eat somewhere else.
It's so sweet.
When he woke up suddenly, Sun Xiang was stunned for a while, thinking that he hadn't seen Xiang Fei for more than half a month, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. Xiang Fei is obedient and well-behaved, but her temperament is a little boring. Even if she misses it very much, she is embarrassed to make such and such requests, worried that it will affect Sun Xiang's work.
When he was in Ningquan, Xiaoyue proposed to let Xiang Fei accompany him for two days. But he couldn't bear to run around, and finally came to Songhe alone. More than half a month has passed, and I don't know if she is okay now.
Sun Xiang sighed, and said in his heart that this is the matter, so let's go back as soon as possible.
The people outside heard the sigh and knocked on the door to come in. It was Zhuo Yao who came with washing utensils and water.
"The public water room in the fortress is very crowded and the sanitation is terrible, you can't be wronged. She smiled reluctantly and handed the towel to Sun Xiang, "Did you sleep well, you worked hard yesterday." ”
Sun Xiang looked at her for a long time and took the towel.
"Who called you here?" Wei Kaicheng?"
"No, the Colonel is in town and busy. I came on my own. ”
This statement is half-true. In fact, Wei Kaicheng asked Zhuo Yao to take care of Sun Xiang before leaving, after all, he is a great benefactor and wants to entertain him.
After last night's battle, Colonel Wei Kaicheng saw that Sun Xiang didn't want to talk more, so he found a room and rested. He said in his heart, Lord Sun Xiang, this is tired. He, Zhao Chi, Fan Haoran and others were grateful to Sun Xiang, but they still finished the important things at hand first, and then thanked them.
It is a good thing to solve the evil forces entrenched in Songhe led by Tu Peng at one time. But if Wei Kaicheng's side doesn't stop here, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing. God knows how many riots would have occurred in the city without cultivators.
After knowing the cause and effect, Sun Xiang asked Zhuo Yao to leave. After all, she had just lost her lover. On the one hand, the head of Sun Da couldn't bear to see her endure her grief and busy before and after, on the other hand, Chen Ping's death had something to do with him, and in this case, keeping Zhuo Yao by his side was a bit of a danger to others.
Master Sun has a good impression of this baby-faced, very cute, girl with a golden bell around her neck. But it's just a good feeling, and there are still a few reincarnations away from taking the initiative to lean up.
Zhuo Yao heard the meaning of Sun Xiang's words, and she shook her head: "No, Ah Ping's death has nothing to do with you, my lord. You're right, character determines fate. Because of love, I accommodated him again and again. As a result he betrayed the colonel, betrayed me, and I will never forgive him. ”
Although last night's battle was won, the process was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for Sun Xiang's miraculous appearance, everyone in the fortress, including Nei Ying, who was hidden among the Songhe cultivators, would have been killed by Tu Peng.
And the initiator of all this is Chen Ping, who, for a humble and ridiculous reason, went mad in jealousy and almost ruined everything. Zhuo Yao was indeed still in heartache, but she advised herself not to waste her feelings on unworthy people.
Since the bitter master himself thinks so, the head of Sun Da can't say anything, so he lets her. After washing, Zhuo Yao served breakfast again. There was a fixed small table and two chairs in the middle of the dormitory, and the two of them sat down facing each other.
The food is very average, only some slimy things, and it is bland and tasteless in the mouth. This is a staple in the fortress, from strategic reserves in warehouses. This kind of war food only seeks to starve people and not die. But there are a few fruits among them, which is surprising. This was taken by Zhuo Yao from Rui Qingfu yesterday, and she was originally going to give it to her friends, but now it comes in handy.
"Do you want to feed it?"
When eating together, Zhuo Yao thought of the two of them alone the day before, and reluctantly told a joke to liven up the atmosphere.
The head of Sun Da waved his hand: "Excuse me." ”
Then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Zhuo Yao, where is your bell?"
"I threw it. ”
"Ahh The first time the two met, he noticed the bell.
"Because it was given to me by Ah Ping. Zhuo Yao replied sullenly.
"Oh. Sun Xiang knew that he had asked the wrong thing," ...... There's no need to do it so absolutely. He does have a big problem, but he also has a genuine heart for you. ”
Zhuo Yao put down the bowl with a teardrop on her face.
"When the aura revived more than five years ago, there were monsters everywhere. My parents were eaten by youkai on the street, and I was only fourteen years old at the time, so I was so scared that I didn't know how to run, I would just hold my head and cry.
Ah Ping pulled me away, and we hid together for a day. Then I was hungry, and Ah Ping was going out to find something to eat. I pulled him and didn't let him go, and I said I'm afraid you won't go.
Ah Ping gave me a bell and he told me to ring the bell if I was in danger and he would come to my rescue. ”
The girl was crying, but Sun Xiang did not speak.
"The colonel sent me to assassinate Rui Qing, and I didn't bring anything with me, only this bell. I knew that even if I succeeded, I was dead. But what if? If I shake this bell, Ah Ping will not appear immediately to save me, as he said. Lord Sun Xiang, will he really come to save me?"
Speaking of this, Zhuo Yao couldn't stop crying. Master Sun sighed, not knowing how to comfort him. When he entered the sewer with Zhuo Yao yesterday, Chen Ping was watching the wind. He knew what Zhuo Yao was doing!
Sun Xiang didn't think that Chen Ping would save people when he heard the bell. His thoughts Sun Xiang was very clear. He regarded Zhuo Yao as his own. Zhuo Yao can die, but not to anyone else.
It's a sad story. Love and selfish possession are two different things, and Zhuo Yao may have figured this out, so she decided to let go of the past and live again.
"What are your plans for the future?" asked Sun Xiang.
"Let's follow the Colonel first. Zhuo Yao wiped away her tears and no longer thought about her sadness, "Although Tu Peng and the others were wiped out, there is still a lot of work to be done to rebuild order in the city." Some people are used to being enslaved, and I am afraid that they will not be able to turn around for a while. ”
"Yes, it is much harder to build than to destroy. Sun Xiang smiled, "I guess you'll be busy for a long time in the future." ”
"It's not, so it's better to enjoy it while it's not even spinning yet. ”
After breakfast, Zhuo Yao packed up the dishes and chopsticks and took them out. She paused as she was at the door.
"By the way, Lord Sun Xiang, I'm single now. ”
Leaving these words, Zhuo Yao floated away.
