Chapter Seventy-Five: A Reluctant Request
Just when I was thinking nonsense on the side, Wang Quan's grandfather looked at me again, with a kind face, and smiled: "Little girl, you are a good friend of my family Xiaoquan, Luo He, right?"
As soon as I heard the old man talking to me, I didn't dare to slack off, so I quickly nodded politely, and said with some restraint: "Hello grandpa, I am Luo He." ”
Wang Quan's grandfather listened to me, so he laughed and said: "It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Mr. Ling and I were just talking about you, and you arrived," Wang Quan's grandfather gradually put away his smile and continued: "I heard some things about you from Mr. Ling, and I really don't let you shave your eyebrows." ”
Listening to the old man's praise made me even more embarrassed, so I directly made a big red face and said with a deflated stomach: "...... Ah, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you, you've won the award, I, I'm just an ordinary student, I don't know anything......"
Old Man Wang looked at me with an embarrassed look, and laughed again, and then said to Bing Cube Ling: "I just heard Mr. Ling finish talking about you, I was going to send someone to pick you up, but Mr. Ling said that you don't have to pick you up, you will come uninvited after a while, no, as soon as our words fell, Xiaoquan brought you here, haha, Mr. Ling is really clever." ”
After hearing this, Bing Cube Ling shook his head expressionlessly, and spit out four words coldly: "I dare not be ashamed." ”
Looking at Bing Cu Ling's calm and relaxed appearance, I really admire the determination of this guy, in front of these army executives, I was so nervous that I was about to pee my pants, and I didn't even dare to breathe as a family of kings, but this guy was still that lukewarm, as if the whole world owed him.
Wang Quan's grandfather seemed to have gotten used to Bing Cu Ling's indifferent attitude, and he didn't care about anything, turned his head to look at me, and spoke again: "Little girl, then since you are here, the old man will not beat around the bush, the reason why I want to invite you here is because. I have a reluctant request. ”
As soon as the old man said that, he put away his smile, his expression gradually became serious, and the aura of many years of galloping on the battlefield suddenly condensed on his body. The nerves that had just been a little relaxed tightened up again.
The old man's fierce breath suppressed me almost blurted out and agreed to him, but I also knew that for the sake of the king's power, I didn't want to agree.
Still, I symbolically asked, "I wonder what you're always looking for me for?" I quickly said, "As long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”
The old man listened to me, breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, rubbed the teacup in his hand with his rough palm, and said slowly: "I want you to follow Xiaoquan and Mr. Ling to Shanxi and participate in the clan meeting." ”
"Grandpa!" Wang Quan heard the old man's words, and directly exclaimed, his tone full of incredulity. Just as he was about to say something, his voice like thunder sounded again: "Shut up! Listen carefully to your grandfather!" Wang Quan was scolded by his Lao Tzu, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only stand aside and wink at me.
Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but suddenly think of the threat of the royal power to Bing Cuo Ling before, and it seemed that I had also mentioned something about the clan meeting, thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little curious in my heart: What is this so-called clan meeting? Do you want to go to Shanxi to participate? Is it possible...... What is the connection with the identity of the Wang Quan of Shanxi Province?
It was probably Wang Quan's grandfather who saw me standing there stunned, thinking that I was hesitating, and then said, "Little girl." It doesn't matter, it's a bit abrupt to ask you so suddenly, you can think about it for a few days. But old man, I also said the ugly things in front of me, the matter of participating in the clan meeting sounds simple, but in fact, there is a certain danger, and there may even be a threat to your life, if you are not willing to risk your life, we will not force you. But if you say yes, we'll do our best to protect you.
Of course. If you have any conditions, you can also open it casually, as long as the old man and I can do it, I will definitely not refuse. ”
Listening to Wang Quan's grandfather's sincere words, I couldn't help but be more confused, especially the sentence that would be life-threatening, which made me feel cold, but despite this, it was impossible for me to let Wang Quan be alone in danger, so I subconsciously nodded and stumbled and said: "You, you are polite, I, I have no conditions, I will not shirk against the king, then, then I will promise you......"
Wang Quan's grandfather was very happy when he heard my promise, and he actually got up and bowed to me and said, "Okay, little girl, on behalf of our Wang family, thank you!"
I hurriedly ran over, quickly helped the old man up, his face was swollen red, and he said again and again: "You, don't be like this, isn't this tormenting me, I and Wang Quan are good buddies, his business is my business, I should do it, I should do it, I should do it......"
After some politeness, Wang Quan's grandfather couldn't keep his mouth shut, seeing that we were dirty and very embarrassed, so he first arranged for me and Bing Fang Ling to stay first, let us rest and rest, and then talk to us about the clan meeting tomorrow. After some discussion, they sent someone to take Bing Fang Ling and me to the residence.
Silence all the way.
After a few days of non-stop tossing, I have reached the limit. I was in a daze until I reached my lodgings, and as I walked, I was so sleepy that I wanted to fall asleep on the ground immediately. As soon as I arrived, I opened the door and rushed into the house, which was decorated in the same way as the farmhouse we had been to, only more plain and clean. When I got inside, I immediately took off my dirty clothes, took a shower, washed my clothes, and when I was done, I collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep......
In a dream.
A mountain came into view.
This time, "I" was at the foot of a high mountain, looking up, the mountain was majestic, the mountain was covered with lush trees, and around me, there seemed to be a few people, they were talking about something, and "I" just kept climbing up the mountain......
A knock on the door woke me from my dream.
I opened my eyes in a daze, and found that it was completely dark, and a few stars hung in the sky, shining faintly.
After sleeping all day, I had a strange dream, my head was a little groggy, I rubbed my temples, and said weakly, "Who......"
"It's me. A cold voice rang out outside the door.
At the sound of that, I sat up from the bed with a carp stiffened, put on my still damp clothes, and opened the door—as I expected, it was the Ice Cube Ling.
At this time, he had changed into clean clothes, with bandages wrapped around his arms, and stood expressionlessly outside the door, looking at me lightly.
Looking at his cold appearance as always, I couldn't help but wonder: Why did this kid come to me so late? Could it be ...... Are you going to tell me about my dreams?
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately came to my senses: "It's so late, what are you looking for me, are you going to tell me about my dreams?" I asked with some joy as I rubbed my eyes.
Bing Cuo Ling glanced at me, raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and said, "It's not time yet. Ignoring the disappointed look on my face, he pulled out a small glass bottle from his pocket, which contained a liquid as bright red as blood—the same thing he had applied to Chen Ge after he had stitched her up the wound.
He handed me the bottle and said, "Take care of yourself." With that, he turned and left, leaving me standing in front of the door in a daze, holding the glass bottle he handed me stiffly......
Bing Cube Ling had been walking for a long time, and I was still standing at the door stupidly, and after a long time, I gradually woke up from my confusion, looked down at the glass bottle in my hand, sighed, and turned around and entered the house.
After closing the door, I sat down on a stool in front of the window, curiously fiddling with the small bottle of red liquid—the same size as the ice cube Ling had taken out earlier, with a cork on it, and a bright red liquid in it, which was not transparent and looked like blood.
I shook the bottle, and the liquid made a "gurgling" sound as it hit the bottle. I opened the cork again and sniffed it: the red liquid had a sweet herb smell, and it was a little fishy when I smelled it closely. Smelling this special smell, I thought of the strong change in Chen Ge after using this liquid, which made my heart full of curiosity: could this be some kind of elixir handed down by the Ice Cube Ling family?
I stared at the small bottle blankly, and after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I simply put the small bottle away and lay back on the bed. Maybe it was because I slept for a day, I lay in bed, but I couldn't fall asleep, and when I remembered that I promised to accompany Wang Quan to participate in the so-called clan meeting, I couldn't help but start to worry again: the Wang Quan family with the identity of the Shanxi Wang clan, the inexplicable dream of the clan meeting that implied a crisis, and the ice cube Ling who seemed to control everything, and all the things that happened before...... Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little big: what is hidden behind all this? And what does my dream represent? Surrounded by mysteries, I can't see the way forward, and now all I can do seems to be to take one step at a time...... (To be continued.) )
