Chapter 379
She felt a throbbing pain in her heart, but there was nothing she could do but hug him tightly and choked up: "I'm sorry...... I want to save them...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
She apologized over and over again, only to know that such words could not comfort people at all, because her decision was so cruel.
“...... Don't apologize. He spoke suddenly, his voice hoarse.
Then, he gently dropped a kiss on her sideburns, and whispered slowly in her ear: "What do you want to do, I will accompany you." ”
Xiao Meng thought she would cry, but I don't know if the ups and downs along the way have exhausted her tears, she obviously felt that her eyes were hot, and all kinds of emotions even hit her heart slightly painful, but she didn't shed a single tear.
She could only hold him tightly.
I don't know if Gu Hongyuan is the same, she even feels that this hug is so tight that it hurts.
But the two hugged each other tightly, and neither of them was willing to let go.
After all, the future is too heavy and too heavy, and the hug is too light and too light. Xiao Meng looked at Gu Hongyuan stupidly, now it is the beginning of April, and it is only a month away from that ridiculous wedding banquet, but looking at the person in front of him again, he only feels that it seems that he has not seen each other for too long and too long, and he feels like he is in a different world.
She wanted to have a good chat with him about the road ahead, but when she saw the sound of the wild goose calling Gu Hongyuan aside, she seemed to have something to say. She thought about it for a moment and decided to stay first and help the captain of the guard settle the refugees.
The captain of the guard, whose name is Jiu Ye, looks elegant and handsome, but he is very resolute in doing thingsAfter the gate of the school was opened, he led the guards of the brigade to drive the refugees to a vacant lot in Xicheng District almost in the posture of escorting prisoners, and when they were properly settled, he arranged for the guards to guard the refugees, half protecting and half surveillance. Although the refugees complained about this, after a few times, they saw the captain of the guard as if they had seen some iron-faced Yama, and they all bowed their heads and trembled.
After intimidating the refugees again, the captain of the guard finally led some of the guards to build a simple shelter for the refugees. Xiao Meng, together with the guards who stayed behind, gave porridge and medicine to the refugees.
Although the guards didn't know Xiao Meng's identity, some people saw her and Yansheng appear on the city tower together, and they all thought that she and Yansheng had a close relationship, and she was a woman, so the guards were embarrassed to let her do any heavy work. Therefore, although she asked for her life many times, she only got a job of making porridge for the refugees.
Xiao Meng has seen the scene of Nadezi treating the villagers, probably because Nadeshiko has been entangled by illness for many years, so he empathizes with the pain of the villagers, and will always comfort him softly for a long time.
These people, she thought, must have suffered a lot of pain, too.
So for every refugee who came to her for porridge, she racked her brains and said a few words of comfort. Maybe this kind of work is more suitable for Nadeshiko or Kagome, her words are dry, and there are only a few sentences over and over again, nothing more than "it will get better in the future" and the like.
But a middle-aged man heard this but cried, and his parents, wife, children, and friends all died on the road. He tugged on Xiao Meng's sleeve and repeatedly asked her if it was real.
Xiao Meng could only nod again and again, repeatedly assuring.
At that time, when Nadeshiko bothered to comfort the villagers, she was still puzzled. Now I finally understand that words are useless for physical pain, but they may be able to soothe the broken hearts a little.
Xiao Meng understood this, so she observed everyone who came to her more carefully, and found that "refugee" was just two general words, summing up a group of poor people who were unkempt, ragged, and uprooted from their homeland. But what she saw were all vivid and concrete lives.
There are proud and awkward boys, who have been hungry for a long time, but they are embarrassed to take the porridge bowl when they turn their heads; there are down-and-out sisters of the family, who take the porridge bowl with both hands, and thank them softly, which makes people feel that they are all manners; there is a young mother holding the child, who is a smart and clever girl, after winking at Xiao Meng with a smile and blinking her eyes, she begged her mother to make more porridge.
There are also simple peasant couples, kneeling down with red eyes to thank them.
Xiao Meng hurriedly helped them up. She knew it wasn't her who they were to thank. Or, the person they should be most grateful for is not in front of them, and they hope in their hearts that Xiao Meng, who is closest to them, can bear the gratitude and gratitude in their hearts.
And she, can't afford it.
At this time, Xiao Meng suddenly thought that the people who were kneeling down to thank him now were actually the same people who planned to kill Yansheng and seize the city.
Just like the people who laugh now, and the people who cried just now, are the same people.
They don't want much, but if they are deprived of what they ask for, they will take up arms.
In the face of survival, how can we judge right and wrong by good and evil?
Gu Hongyuan felt that the sound of the wild goose did seem to have something to say to him, but the city tower was obviously not a suitable place. He glanced in Xiao Meng's direction and saw that she was helping the captain of the guard. Gu Hongyuan knew Jiu Ye's ability and character, so he returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Yan Sheng with confidence.
Along the way, the bamboo cane makes an annoying "click" sound. When he was rescued by the wild goose, the wild goose had no eyes, and the human who got those eyes was not with him.
The thought of this made him extremely irritable, and several times he almost ridiculed him, a cousin who did not know what to say.
But at this time, he suddenly thought of something that he had overlooked. The place where he fell was in the depths of the desert, how could the wild goose sound who gouged out his eyes and should have recuperated "accidentally" saved him?
He seemed to understand something. He has indeed been held in the palm of his hand, but he still doesn't know it.
Gu Hongyuan looked back, but found that the sound of the wild goose had been thrown by him for a long distance. He stopped and waited for the geese to walk slowly to his side by side before moving forward again.
This time, he slowed down.
It was the first time he had slowed down for someone, even Suzu, and he just gave her a mount.
But as he walked slowly, he seemed to see more. From time to time, brigades of guards roamed the streets because of today's events, some of them were so sad that they drove their children home who were playing outside, and some were sympathetic and even offered to donate food and money.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the respect and love of these people for the sound of geese. When everyone saw the sound of geese, they bowed respectfully. And the sound of geese can accurately call out each of their names. The loss of his eyes did not seem to have affected the prestige of the wild goose in the slightest.
This is also the first time Gu Hongyuan has seen Yan Sheng's side as the city lord. He couldn't help but think that Yan Sheng's heart should have a lot of spare. Perhaps in terms of "mercy", he has more of his father's true inheritance than himself.
The two of them entered the City Lord's Mansion in silence, and then turned to a remote verandah inside the mansion. At this time, Yan Sheng took out the pure black hook jade from his arms and handed it to Gu Hongyuan.
