Chapter 46: The Mo family is attacked
On the carriage to the Mo family's stronghold, Xunzi suddenly asked, "Zifang, have you and Miss Shenyun's wedding been completed?"
"Uncle Shi, it's all in order. Zhang Liang nodded, as if smiling, and his expression was a little twisted.
And Tianming, who was sitting opposite, had his eyes lit up and said excitedly: "Wow, it's the first time I've seen someone get married, isn't it going to be very lively, it must be fun!?"
I was ridiculed by what he said, and because of Xunzi's presence, I still squeezed out a stiff dry laugh.
"Ziming, it's just simple, it's not as fun as you think. ”
Zhang Liang said lightly, with a faint look of discomfort on his face.
"Oh oh....... isn't there going to be a lot of good food and drink, that's not bad! ”
Tianming tilted his head and seemed to be imagining a table full of sumptuous food, his mouth was half-closed, salivating so much that saliva almost flowed out of the corners of his mouth.
Seeing Tianming's funny appearance, I couldn't help but shake my head, and accidentally met Zhang Liang's gaze when I turned my head sideways, the soft light in his eyes flashed, my heartbeat missed another beat, my face was slightly hot, and I quickly avoided his gaze and turned my head. A kind of crampedness, a kind of discomfort, made us sitting side by side become dumb for a while.
Tianming still kept asking how the wedding was lively, how the bride and groom visited the church, what they would eat at the feast, and so on...... Xunzi didn't dislike Tianming's problems, and slowly explained the customs and etiquette of today's marriage, but I didn't listen to a word on the side.
Actually, these days, I haven't taken the matter of getting married to heart. All matters are taken care of by Shopkeeper Ding, I have acquiesced to all his plans, and I am also in and out of the left ear and the right ear in and out of the left ear he explained, so that I don't know what process the Qin Dynasty wedding should go through and what to prepare, and even what my dress looks like. I'm already mentally prepared, just waiting for the day of marriage to be fiddled with by everyone like a puppet, commanded, and perfunctory to go through the form, and the matter will be over. But now that the day of marriage is imminent, I am a little uneasy to say, isn't it just acting and going through the motions, why can't I be a little calm when it comes to the end?
I was speechless all the way, silently sorting out the tangled feelings in my heart. Suddenly, the carriage was heavily bumped, and Tianming suddenly shouted: "Ouch! it hurts!" The wooden box in his hand was not held steadily, and he flew out of his hand, and I quickly got up and reached out and grabbed one end of the wooden box, and the other end of the wooden box was firmly grasped by Zhang Liang, who shot at the same time. We looked at each other, slightly stunned.
The corners of Zhang Liang's lips hooked up a chuckle, and said, "It's only been a few days, and Yun'er is very skilled." ”
I smiled in response, and was about to take the wooden box from his hand, but the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, and I sat unsteadily and threw forward, unable to grasp the place to stabilize the center of gravity for a while, and waved my arm indiscriminately and didn't know what I had hooked, and suddenly borrowed the force, turned around, and sat down peacefully.
I gasped and suddenly found myself sitting on Zhang Liang...... At this moment, my arms were wrapped around his neck on his shoulders, which must have been done in a panic.
As soon as I was blind, my mind was messy, and I looked at Zhang Liang in surprise.
In the first moment, he seemed to be too caught off guard and his face turned white, and now his white cheeks were faintly flushed, he must have been held by a girl like this for the first time, and his face was full of shyness and shyness that could not be concealed.
"Why did it stop all of a sudden?" Tianming said in surprise.
I was excited, and quickly got up, but I didn't want to stand up too violently and hit the roof with a 'bang'.
There was a chuckle in the car, and even Xunzi had a funny look on his face.
I was embarrassed, my cheeks burned, and I secretly cursed in my heart, how did this coachman do it, it hurt me like this.
And the wooden box was still intact in Zhang Liang's hands, and he handed it to Tianming: "Ziming, you take it, don't drop it again." ”
"Oh no! Oh no!~" Suddenly there was a panicked shout from outside the car.
"What's wrong?" we hurriedly got out of the car.
The coachman's face turned pale and pointed to a nearby courtyard. Inside, there were several people lying motionless.
"What's wrong with them?!" Tianming's face turned pale. This is the people near the Mo family's stronghold, and they must also be villagers disguised as disciples of the Mo family, Tianming naturally recognized them, he rushed into the courtyard with trembling shoulders, and pushed them: "Wake up, wake up~!" But he couldn't wake up.
My heart shook violently, and I stood in shock, could it be that they were all dead? Last time, it was a dead person, this time it was a group of people, and this is endless! My heart was bitten by fear, and I couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, Xunzi had already walked into the courtyard to check one by one to see if there were still people breathing.
Zhang Liang, who was standing beside me, just stepped forward and stopped, he turned to look at me who was sincerely afraid, and the soft light of pity in his eyes poured out.
He suddenly took my hand and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Yun'er, follow me, it's fine." His words poured into my heart like a warm current from the valley springs, and he squeezed my cold hand tightly, as if to give me more heat and courage.
I looked at his fluttering black eyes in a daze, my palms suddenly warmed up, spreading to my fingertips, I closed my fingers and clasped his palm, silently but clearly responding to each other. He nodded heavily at me, his face solemn, but calm and calm, which made me feel a little calm.
I took a deep breath, I knew that there was no way back, the most effective way to eliminate fear was to repeatedly face what I was afraid of, and no matter how cruel and unbearable the scene in front of me was, it was a reality that I had to face, and there was no escape, I had to learn to face them, face death, face killing, otherwise, I would always be a burden to him, and how long would the stormy little sage village be able to shelter me......
