Chapter 14: Parting
Zhao Tingcheng and I sat under the phoenix tree for a night, maybe because we were about to separate, we were like old friends who had been reunited for a long time, and talked about a lot of things we had experienced together in the past, and we didn't talk so happily until the second half of the night, when Zhao Chengcheng crawled in my arms and fell asleep.
Zhao Tingcheng in his arms slept very sweetly, and his small mouth was still clicking from time to time, looking very cute. If the arrogant Zhao Tingcheng who is as cold and arrogant as a princess makes people both love and fear, then Zhao Tingcheng at this time makes people only have pity in their hearts.
I didn't wake her up, I didn't send her back to the room, I just wanted to be greedy and appreciate her beauty for a while, so I kept holding her, looking at her, as if looking at the most beautiful scenery in the world, and finally I didn't know when I fell asleep.
The morning sun poured down through the cracks in the canopy and shone on my face, which was exceptionally warm, and I was awakened from my sleep by this warmth.
Zhao Tingcheng in her arms was still asleep, her long eyelashes were shaking, and her slightly messy broken hair covered her pink face, and I couldn't help but sigh: "This little girl is so likable when she sleeps." “
Sleeping with a little beauty in your arms is certainly a thing that countless men envy, but it is also a physical job.
Probably due to the sitting position of sleeping overnight, I just woke up, only to feel back pain, even my limbs are slightly swollen and numb. I moved my body a little bit to make my posture more comfortable. Because I was afraid that I would move too much and wake up Zhao Tingcheng, who was sleeping soundly, I almost controlled my range of movements to a minimum.
However, even so, Zhao Tingcheng was woken up. She sat up from my arms and stretched, her perfect curves in the glorious morning glow, and I unceremoniously took in everything and swallowed secretly.
Zhao Tingcheng had just woken up, maybe her head was still in a hazy state, but she said while rubbing her eyes: "Brother Luo Ran, what are you doing in my room early in the morning, you woke me up, and people are sleeping soundly." Hey...... Why am I sleeping here?"
Looking at Zhao Tingcheng's stunned appearance, I thought it was very funny. I don't know why, but I shamelessly wanted to take advantage of her.
So I deliberately pretended to be very aggrieved and said to her, "Are you embarrassed to ask? You slept comfortably last night, but I didn't sleep all night with you, hey...... My old waist, my shoulders. “
Zhao Qingcheng stuck out his tongue and smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe...... I'm sorry, I was too sleepy last night, so I fell asleep, don't be wronged. “
"What's the use of just apologizing, don't you give your husband a waist and a pinched shoulder. “
"Okay, you turn your body around, and I'll pinch it for you. “
It's really an accident, if I said this in the past, I'm afraid she would have punched her a long time ago, but this time Zhao Tingcheng not only didn't get angry, but also agreed to pinch my shoulder, this is really the sun hitting the west out, could it be that I was completely convinced last night.
I quickly turned my body around, turned my back to her, and kept looking forward to the moment when Zhao Tingcheng's Qianqianyu hands were on my shoulders, waiting for her to give me a good massage, and I could enjoy it comfortably.
"I'm ready, you can get started. "I kept urging Zhao Tingcheng, saying in my heart that time is so precious, how can there be a reason for wasting in vain, and I don't have fun in time.
Before I could think about it, Zhao Qingcheng suddenly sneered behind me: "Don't worry, I'll press it for you." “
I don't have a good heart, how can this little girl be kind enough to give me a massage, how can I believe her words, oops, it's really confused. However, it was too late to regret it at this time, and I just wanted to say that I would forget it, and if I didn't press it, I felt that I was kicked hard in the ass and kicked me off the bench. I sat on the ground with my butt, and by coincidence, my tail bone just hit a rock, and I gasped in pain.
After a long time, I got up from the ground with my butt covered, and looked up to find Zhao Tingcheng sneering at me: "Hmph, dare to let Miss Ben give you a massage, you are not afraid of being bold and fat." “
I quickly said to her, oops, don't dare, don't dare. But I kept complaining in my heart, this Nizi is really ruthless, even her husband dares to beat her, and she turned against you. However, the complaints in my heart naturally dare not be expressed, otherwise, the end will only be another fat beating.
"Hmph, it's okay if you don't dare, come and sit. “
Hearing that Zhao Chengcheng asked me to pass, I limped back to the bench with a smile on my face, and I didn't have to think about it to know that the smile must be very ugly, but fortunately, there was no mirror, and I couldn't see it.
I sat back on the bench, but as soon as my butt touched the chair, my tail bone ached, and I snapped, and my body jumped up from the bench like a spring, covered my buttocks, and spun around on the ground several times.
Zhao Chengcheng looked at me embarrassed and burst out laughing. I said angrily: "You still laugh, it hurts me to death." “
"I deserve it, see if you dare to take advantage of me in the future, I tell you, even if you marry me in the future, you have to give me a massage. “
I retorted: "People enjoy marrying wives, so why should I marry a wife......
"Hmm...... do you have an opinion?" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chengcheng clenched his small fists and threatened me. I had no choice but to shut up, but the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I said that a manly man could only speak half of what he could say, so he finished the rest in his heart.
Zhao Tingcheng was quite satisfied when he saw that I no longer contradicted her, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, our caravan will set off later, I'll take you to breakfast first, hey, from now on, you will have to run around, I'm afraid it's difficult to eat a stable meal, I'll let the kitchen cook more delicious food for you." “
After Zhao Chengcheng finished speaking, she turned around and walked back, thinking that my next days would probably be full of danger, her heart was very uncomfortable, and she was sad all of a sudden.
I followed behind Zhao Chengcheng, looking at her back, my heart was also full of bitterness, I only hated why fate was so unfair, why can't I live an ordinary life like other children, accompany the people I love, have the warmth of the family, have the love of my parents, no hatred, no need to wander around for survival?
We had breakfast for a long time, but I didn't have much appetite, so I was full after a few bites. But Zhao Tingcheng kept putting vegetables in my bowl, and if I didn't eat it, she wouldn't let me go. Finally I ate everything on the table before she was satisfied.
I hiccup and walked out of the Zhao family's compound with Zhao Chengcheng, and found that there were more than a dozen carriages parked on the side of the street, and there were nearly 100 Zhao family guards guarding the left and right of these carriages.
The Zhao family operates many kinds of businesses in Liuyun City, such as auction houses, pawnshops, cloth villages, grain stores, casinos, etc., but the most important thing is the medicinal materials business, the medicinal materials here are not only those ordinary herbs that cure people's diseases, but also those spiritual psychic herbs that are specially used by alchemists for alchemists. The value of ordinary herbs is not very high, only those psychic herbs are extremely expensive.
Zhao Tingcheng told me that this time, their Zhao family went to the capital to purchase goods, and the most important thing was to purchase those cherished psychic medicinal materials. In order to prevent the medicinal materials from being robbed halfway, Zhao Ding specially arranged for the Great Elder Zhao Gan to personally escort them, and also sent a hundred guards to follow.
I said in my heart, such a battle, I'm afraid that no robber dares to provoke it.
The second uncle seemed to have arrived a long time ago, and he was already impatient, and at this time, seeing me and Zhao Chengcheng, he slowly walked out of the compound, and immediately urged: "I said that you kid is grinding for everything, hurry up, we don't have much time." “
After saying that, he felt that there was something wrong with me, looked down at my legs, and asked, "Alas...... What's wrong with your legs. “
When Zhao Tingcheng kicked me off the bench, my tail bone hit the stone, and it still hurts, so I can only walk with my butt between my legs, and I am limping. However, of course, I can't tell the truth to my second uncle, otherwise I won't have to laugh at him to death. I had to deal with it casually: "Ah...... I'm okay with my legs, that...... Do you want to leave now?"
Zhao Chengcheng held back a smile on the side, and I glared at her angrily.
The second uncle looked at me suspiciously, but he didn't continue to ask any more questions, but said to Zhao Ding on the side: "Zhao family master, I'm really sorry, let your caravan wait for so long, since Luo Ran, this kid has come, we won't delay anymore, let's set off." “
"Ah, it's okay, Brother Luo has to be more careful along the way. “
The second uncle said to Zhao Ding: "Thank you for the help of the Zhao family this time, we will have a meeting later." “
Zhao Ding also bowed his hand to the second uncle: "There will be a period later." “
The second uncle glanced at me, did not speak, turned around and walked towards a carriage. I looked up at Zhao Tingcheng and found that her eyes were moist again. I wanted to comfort her, but I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say. For Zhao Tingcheng at this time, no words can soothe her sad mood, maybe only silence can reduce the pain in each other's hearts.
I couldn't bear to see Zhao Tingcheng crying, so I said goodbye to Zhao Ding and turned to leave.
boarded the carriage that the second uncle was riding, and was just about to possess it, when he suddenly heard Zhao Tingcheng shouting to me behind him: "Don't forget your promise to me." “
I didn't look back, and I didn't have the courage to look back, I didn't want Zhao Tingcheng to see the tears in my eyes. I wanted to say to her that I would never forget it, but the choking in my throat left me speechless. After a momentary pause at the door, I wiped tears from my eyes and scurried into the car.
Zhao Chengcheng stood at the gate of the compound, watching the carriage I was riding in gradually drift away, until the entire caravan completely disappeared from her eyes, and she turned back to the compound.
At this time, none of us imagined that when we met again many years later, it would be the identity of the enemy.
