Chapter 484: Life in a Ponytail
After the words fell, I had already come to Uncle Tie's side, and Uncle Tie didn't say any more nonsense, and led me directly to the living room of the villa.
In the living room, I saw a ponytail.
At this time, she was sitting quietly on the sofa alone, with a casual posture, not looking restrained, but there was another upright attitude, perhaps, this is everyone's upbringing.
The ponytail was still the same as before, her face was pale and bloodless, like a person who had lost her breath of life, but she had more vitality than ordinary patients, and this vitality came from her mentality, no matter how weak her appearance was, but her mentality looked very good, there was no gloom or decadence in her expression, and she was dressed with ease.
She is wearing simple and comfortable sportswear, with a ponytail on her head, she looks very crisp and sunny, and she is quite immature, in her, you can't find any impurities, at first glance, she is a simple little girl, but in fact, she has an extremely calm mind and an unusually smart mind, when she encounters anything, she can do it without panic, calm as water, and what problems she encounters. She can come up with a way to resolve it in a very short time, even in the face of death, she can also maintain a good attitude and live day by day.
At such a young age, it is really not easy to be able to do what she does.
However, it is precisely because of her intelligence and calmness that I can't see through her, and now, I can almost be sure that she is a good person, but I can't treat her like a normal friend, and there seems to be something between us. At least, my identity at this moment is still Xu Can.
So, I tried my best to put aside some complicated sorrows in my heart, and kept the surface casual and natural, vaguely, and my demeanor couldn't help but show some of Xu Can's squirming attitude. Just as the ponytail looked at me, I said as if greeting, "Miss Tang, are you looking for me?"
The ponytail got up, her eyes stayed on me, her eyes rolled, and she looked at me casually, and then, she said to me apologetically: "Am I too presumptuous to disturb you!"
I knew what she meant, so I quickly said, "No, I've slept enough, but I just got up, and I haven't had time to wash up yet!"
The ponytail squirmed the corners of his lower lip slightly, and said politely: "Then you go, I can wait for you!"
Without thinking, I replied arrogantly, "No need." If you have anything, just say it!"
In my opinion, in the face of ponytail, I don't care about any image, or rather, ponytail is the kind of girl who sees my heart directly with her eyes, and my appearance is just a layer of illusion.
Hearing me say this, Ponytail didn't dwell on the matter, and instead said to me, "If it's convenient, let's go out for a walk!"
I knew that she wanted to talk to me privately, and there were some things that she didn't want others to hear, so I didn't hesitate and said, "Let's go!"
Subsequently, I walked out of the villa with a ponytail and walked on the trail in the wilderness, this villa of the Xu family, located on the mountainside, is a typical single-family villa, the surrounding scenery is pleasant, the environment is comfortable, giving people a feeling of returning to nature. ad_250_left();
At this moment, the sunset hangs in the sky, the glow is sprinkled all over the ground, everything on the earth seems to be covered with a layer of red, extremely beautiful, and the ponytail, her pale face also seems to show blood, this is the light color of the remnant sun, just like the life of the ponytail, coming to the end, and the blood color of the remnant sun is commensurate with the beauty of another regret.
And, with messy hair and a scruffy beard, I only showed a languid state that I hadn't woken up, and the two of us walked quietly all the way, and neither of us spoke first.
In the past, when I was Wu Lai, I was absolutely transparent in front of the ponytail, on the contrary, the ponytail was a mysterious existence that made me look up, but at that time, I couldn't help but trust her, and regarded her as a friend who could talk to her heart.
Now, however, I have changed, and the more complex I become. I have a lot of last resort, and I have become more careful, and I don't dare to trust anyone easily, although I am basically relieved about the ponytail now, but she didn't show her intention, and I don't know how to speak first, my current identity is indeed quite embarrassing.
Before we knew it, we walked to a lake with a red glow, sat directly on the ground with a ponytail, looked at the lake, and said to me casually: "It's good to see you all right, I thought I would never see you again!"
When she said this, the ponytail tone sounded emotionless, but the meaning in her words was clear, she cared about me very much.
As soon as I arrived in the provincial capital yesterday, I heard that the ponytail also put pressure on the Hong Gang because of my disappearance, it can be seen that she cares about me very much, and now, I am back, and she came to see me for the first time.
With a sense of warmth, I sat down next to her and said from the bottom of my heart: "Thank you for your concern!"
Ponytail turned his head, looked at me, and said very seriously: "Don't you still trust me? Wu Lai!"
In the last two words, the ponytail particularly accentuated the volume, and it was clear that she was completely sure of my identity.
Seeing her clear eyes, I was even more convinced that she had nothing to do with my father's arrest.
The little wariness of her was finally completely eliminated, I knew that I didn't need to hide my identity anymore, if the ponytail was really bad for me, the Hong Gang would have been able to confirm that I was Wu Lai, and I wouldn't be able to sit here safely, and the Hong Gang didn't need to make any competitions, so at this moment, I faced the ponytail, looked at her with firm eyes, and said frankly: "I believe in you, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth before!"
My tone, very sincere, expressed my apologies, and at the same time, it also showed that I trusted her.
Seeing this, Ponytail's expression immediately changed greatly, and she became very pleased, she showed a bright smile at me, and then said: "It's okay, I didn't blame you, in fact, you are defensive, it's good, it proves that you have grown." ”
Sure enough, the ponytail's bearing is extraordinary, she is not only smart, but also kind-hearted. is still so understanding, I was a little embarrassed when she said this, and after a long pause, I said a little abruptly: "By the way, how do you know that I am Wu Lai!"
The corners of his mouth curled in the ponytail, and he said incomprehensibly: "Guess!"
I was stunned, seeing that she was so sure of my identity, I thought she had conclusive evidence, but I didn't expect her to be conjectural, I was incredulous: "How did you guess?"
Later, Ponytail showed me her clever side again, and she explained to me that she had returned to the provincial capital not long after I had arrived.
At the beginning, I pretended to be a madman and became famous in the provincial capital, at that time, the ponytail actually saw that I was Wu Lai, she didn't have Xu Nan and I for a long time, she didn't have the kind of love between Xu Nan and me, and she didn't have Mu Shihan and me all kinds of fate and emotions, but she had Xu Nan and Mu Shihan's incomparable mind, as well as keen observation against the sky, she could think of a lot through small things, and I basically saw through it, so no matter how well I disguised it, it was difficult to escape from her eyes.
Of course, although she knew that the madman was Wu Lai, and the ponytail didn't interfere with me, she knew that I had something I had to do, and she couldn't manage it, let alone expose my identity, she still lived her own life and didn't pay too much attention to me.
Until, I went crazy in Feibaotang because of Xu Nan's suicide, and after that, I disappeared out of thin air, and there was no madman in the provincial capital, let alone Wu Lai, Ponytail suddenly worried about me, and took my affairs very seriously, she knew me, knew that I would not hide from this, knew that I would not give up saving my father, and knew that I had a never-say-die persistence.
Therefore, she guessed at once that I had changed my identity to hide in the provincial capital, and after investigation and screening, the ponytail targeted me, Xu Can, the influential figure of the provincial university. As she focused on Xu Can, the ponytail gradually confirmed my identity, which was Wu Lai.
And, one of the most important clues for her to confirm my identity is the persistence in me, on the road of pursuing Xia Xiaoxiao, I showed the persistence and strength that ordinary people do not have. It was easy for her to think that my persistence came from the fact that I wanted to get close to Xia Xiaoxiao, break into the Hong Gang, and save my father, but the ponytail was meticulously observed, and what she really saw in Xu Can was her obsession with love.
Although she knows that my love for Xia Xiaoxiao is not sincere, however, the emotion I pursue Xia Xiaoxiao is something that ordinary men can't play, and my never-say-die spirit can't be played.
Since she knows that I am Wu Lai, if I have something, she will not care, the last time, I learned that I appeared with Xia Xiaoxiao at Chu Jie's party, smart ponytail, I immediately knew that something must have happened to me.
That's why she was sick and rushed to Chu Jie's party non-stop, and sure enough, my performance at the party was exactly as expected by the ponytail, so she saved me and completely confirmed my identity.
After listening to the ponytail's explanation, I can't help but have a new understanding of her, I feel that her height in my heart has risen to a new level, she, the first talented woman in the provincial city, is indeed not in vain, fortunately, the ponytail is not standing on the opposite side of me, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have disappeared long ago.
However, before I could express my shock and admiration, as soon as Ponytail finished explaining, he immediately changed his mind and apologized to me: "I'm sorry." Wu Lai, it's all because of me that your father was arrested and put you on this dangerous road!"
I know what the ponytail refers to, I know the ins and outs of this matter, I know that the ponytail is not involved in this matter, and there is no harm to my father's heart, which is enough, so I looked at her very sincerely, and said freely: "You don't have to apologize, I already know, this matter has nothing to do with you!"
Ponytail smiled bitterly, and then said implicitly: "But, no matter what, this thing is caused by me, it is my illness that makes your father targeted." And the reason why the Hong Gang will attack your father is also because of the acquiescence of my family, if it weren't for the conditions given by my family, the Hong Gang wouldn't have to go to great lengths to catch your father and grab the so-called magic medicine blood ginseng. ”
I looked at the ponytail deeply and said solemnly: "I know everything, but you are not involved in this matter, so you don't need to blame yourself!"
The ponytail looked at me in the eyes, and he did not shy away from it, and replied with a more solemn attitude towards me, "Then don't you blame me at all?"
I shook my head and said in a firm tone: "No wonder, it is precisely because I still regard you as a friend that I will admit my identity." ”
Hearing this, the ponytail was obviously relieved, but she still looked a little preoccupied, and there was more sadness in her clear eyes. With this faint sorrow, she set her eyes on the surface of the lake, which was gradually losing its light.
The sun had almost completely set, and the crimson that had swept over the surface of the lake had turned a very light red.
The sky also slowly darkened, just like the ponytail's eyes at the moment, with an indescribable gloomy color, she stared at the lake for a long time before she slowly spoke: "Don't you wonder, why did I go to the university where you studied in the first place?"
The ponytail's words made my heart tremble, it was because of this that I couldn't understand it, I was somewhat wary of the ponytail, but now that we sat down and had a good talk, I didn't know how to ask, once I asked, it seemed that I had a bad heart. I'm afraid that the trust I've just built will collapse again, and I think that as long as the ponytail doesn't hurt me, it doesn't hurt my dad, and I don't mind the rest, so, after weighing it, I still choose not to ask.
But I didn't expect that Ponytail actually took the initiative to mention this, and she seemed to have expected that I would have such a difficult doubt, since she guided the question, I also answered logically: "Why?"
Hearing this, the ponytail's gaze couldn't help but become darker, and she raised her eyes lightly and looked at the horizon at the end of the lake. It was dark, and the ponytail seemed to be lost in thought, and his eyes were full of stories.
After a long time of stagnancy, she spoke up and spoke to me:
"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't want to die, I hated God's unfairness, why did I suffer from stubborn illness since I was a child, why did I have to suffer from illness, why I was sentenced to live to be thirty years old, I was unwilling, so I cooperated with my family and sought medical treatment everywhere, but unfortunately it was useless, the condition never got better, and the root of the disease could not be removed, even. It got worse and worse, and I began to become disheartened and lose hope of life.
However, just last year, my family finally found a cure for my disease, however, it needs medicine to induce thousands of years of blood ginseng, but this thing is too rare, rare in the world, after many inquiries, I learned that your father Wu Qiankun has it in his hands, and my family immediately sent someone to find your father, but no matter how rich the conditions we promised, your father just didn't promise us.
The opportunity is in front of me, but I can't get it, this is a big blow to me, at that time, I was too eager to live, so I was not discouraged, I volunteered to tell my family, I will find my own way, and then, I went to your university, I know that you are your father Wu Qiankun's most beloved son, since it doesn't work from your father, I also want to start from you and get blood ginseng.
However, as soon as I went to school, I heard about your legendary story, your love story, which deeply touched me, made me feel distressed, and touched an untapped feeling in my heart.
After seeing you in person, contacting you, and understanding you, I found that the more I knew about you, the more interested I was in you, and this interest made me feel that life was wonderful, and I cherish this wonderful, and I cherish you as a friend.
Because I regard you as a friend, and I want to really have you as a friend, I have dismissed the use of you to get blood ginseng, I don't want to add the color of use between our friendship, if I mention that I need blood ginseng, then everything I have done to you before has become purposeful, and the friendship between us will not be pure, maybe that. You won't consider me a friend at all.
In fact, I also know that the reason why your father refused to give us blood ginseng is because blood ginseng is what he needs, and I have no right to deprive others of precious things.
Of course, the most important thing is that you made me see it and made me feel that death is not so terrible, and God is not unfair to me alone, everyone is equal, everyone has his fate, his sorrow and helplessness. And I, not entirely unlucky, at least, it has given me a strong family and good wisdom. As for the disease, that's my life.
Everyone's fate is arranged by God, if God really wants me to die, it is useless for me to struggle, people, can never fight the sky, after all, I chose to follow the destiny of heaven and go with the flow.
In this way, I have become happy, I don't need to live in fear, in my only life, instead of feeling sorry for myself every day, it is better to cherish this precious time of life, do meaningful things, live my own wonderful, have a sunny day in my heart, every day is a sunny day.
After figuring it out, not only did I give up my selfishness, but I also advised my family to respect other people's choices, and if they didn't give it, forget it, and stop thinking about asking for it.
I thought that the matter would be over at this point, but I didn't expect that my family still cared too much about my life, and they really didn't look for your father again, but they reached an agreement with the Hong Gang, saying that as long as they had a way to cure my illness, they would agree to my marriage with Summer.
Actually, in the final analysis, they still hope that the Hong Gang will use gangster means to get blood ginseng from your father, because at that time, Summer also knew it. My disease can be cured with the need for medicine and ginseng.
I didn't know about this at first, until your father was arrested, I didn't know, but at that time, the Hong Gang arrested your father, it took a lot of effort, and many people died, causing a big sensation, and since then, this matter has become big and has begun to become irreconcilable, even if I want to stop it, it is impossible, because the Hong Gang has lost face, even if it is not for blood ginseng, it will not let go.
In fact, even if the people of the Hong Gang get blood ginseng, I don't want to marry Summer, because I don't like him, and I don't want to be a victim of the family marriage, but I have no right to speak, I can't change anything, all I can do is just hope that you can be safe and don't have anything to do. Now, I'm glad to see that you're okay and growing up!"
This tirade of the ponytail is said very slowly, slowly, just like telling a story. Slowly, she was not in good health, and there were a few pauses in the middle, but she still insisted on finishing.
She said it very freely, but I could feel that her heart was very heavy, such a weight should not be something that a little girl of her age could bear, at a young age, she had a feeling of seeing through life, what a strong heart she had to have.
I think I can't be like her, I look down on everything, and I can even be relieved of life, but this is her, her heart and bearing, her wisdom and heart, are all miracles that belong to her.
I understood her. I won't blame her, she is also helpless, she herself didn't insist on the blood ginseng in my father's hand, but she can't influence the thoughts of her family, indeed, which parent will make such a young and talented life, regretful fall, will not grasp the straw of life, so, for the Tang family's good intentions, I can also understand.
What makes my heart fluctuate is the meaning of the potential connotation of the ponytail, I feel that this little girl is really special to me, there is a taste of ignorance, it feels like admiration, that kind of emotion. Separated by a piece of paper, she didn't pierce it, and I can't say it, and, what makes me even more entangled is about blood ginseng, indeed, the root of everything lies in blood ginseng, and the ponytail really needs it too much, although in her words, she is saying to give up, but, who really wants to die, of course she doesn't want to, but she doesn't want to interfere with me and affect me.
If it weren't for Xu Nan's need for it, I would definitely agree to give her blood ginseng without hesitation, but now, I can't make any choice, blood ginseng, I will only give it to Xu Nan, it is impossible to give it to her.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer, and mixed emotions were tangled in my heart, making me want to stop talking.
After a long silence, I suppressed the complicated emotions in my heart, looked at the ponytail with a straight face, and said seriously: "I believe in you, you don't need to explain so much to me, we are friends, always will be, even if something happens to me in the provincial capital, I won't blame you." But you didn't just come to me today to talk about the past, right?"
Since I can't talk about blood ginseng anymore, I can only choose to change the topic, which is also an invisible escape.
Ponytail listened to my words, and suddenly came back to her senses, she took her eyes back from the distant sky, turned her head to look at me, and said succinctly, "Well!!"
