Chapter 57: The Widowed Son - He Youdong
There is not always a rainbow after a heavy rain, and the sun is not necessarily seen during the day
In the southern part of the black and oppressive Heavenly Domain, dark clouds visible to the naked eye floated in the sky, and silver-white lightning swayed back and forth in the dark clouds like a dragon
A thunderbolt the size of a tree surrounded by five people fell on a mountain, and the devastating blow caused the creatures on the mountain to die before they could react, and the rain slanted down from the sky, and this heavy rain, which was rare in a century, turned most of the southern region into a floating city like a flood
In the west of Nanxiu City, on a street that could not avoid being flooded with this cruel fate, a man dressed in coarse linen waded barefoot through the navel-high water and entered a tavern flooded by rain
Sitting on the wooden chair that was just higher than the rain in the tavern, he took out a few taels of silver from the soaked storage bag and threw it on the wooden table, and soon a shopkeeper wearing a special waterproof suit held several jars of blood wine and lightly placed it on the wooden table in front of the sackcloth man, and then sighed lightly and turned back
The man in sackcloth skillfully took a jar of strong blood wine, raised his head slightly to reveal his slightly dirty face, and gulped down the blood wine, letting the wine that slipped from the sides of his mouth stain his mud-covered linen clothes
Just drank a jar, his left hand stretched out to another jar of wine, but was grabbed by a white and tender hand, there was no reaction, the man threw the bottom of the empty jar into the water, after a few "grunts", the wine jar fell to the bottom of the water, stretched out his free right hand to the front of the wine jar and grabbed it, but then another white tender palm with slender fingers grabbed his wrist
Raising her head slightly, she looked at the familiar face, and withdrew her hand from her palm, not letting a trace of dirt get on her white hand
got up and walked outside the tavern, but when he walked to the door of the tavern, he paused, the familiar figure came from the front, his lips squirmed slightly, but he couldn't make a sound, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, he bent down deeply and made a hunched back and then moved his steps to walk out, but every step seemed so sad to the woman in the tavern
Sensing the man's strange appearance, the woman also looked at the night sun outside the door that was slowly walking towards the tavern on the water, and immediately shouted: "He Youdong!"
"Senior Brother He!" Hearing those words, Yeyang, who was walking towards the tavern with an umbrella outside the door, was suddenly stunned, and looked at the source of the sound, but what he saw was a hunchbacked man like a beggar and the veiled woman standing in the water in the tavern, and the light in his eyes couldn't help but dim a few points
But the dimness of Yeyang's eyes made the veiled woman's expression change a lot, and she raised her hand to shoot out a piece of silk from her sleeve, binding He Youdong firmly and then pulling it back until it was fixed on the wooden table
Lowering his head deeply, the dirty hair that was already slightly smelly covered his face, he turned slightly to the woman, his eyes showed a rare emotion, he was begging, begging the woman to stop calling him by name, the slightly open mouth could only make an inaudible sound, but his eyes made the woman a little unbearable
His hand trembled slightly, and his palm stretched straight towards the knee-high water, and then when he pulled his palm up, the turquoise aura attached to the palm rolled up a cloud of rain and fell towards He Youdong
And all this only took a few seconds, looking at the movement in the tavern, Yeyang saw a familiar face with three scars across his right eye, he was stunned for a while, and ran quickly towards the tavern, but almost at the same time, He Youdong lowered his head again, he didn't have the slightest idea of recognizing Yeyang
opened his mouth slightly, but he still held back, Yeyang sighed lightly in his heart, he seemed to understand something, but it was still impossible to give up, took out a wine porcelain with a cyan pattern from the storage ring, and put it where He Youdong looked down
After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his mood, he glanced towards the crowd who were watching the excitement, and there were inevitably people stronger than Yeyang in that crowd, but they still turned their heads one by one or got up to leave, seeing that those people were no longer looking at where they were, Yeyang said softly: "I found Senior Brother Shen... He said that the other senior brothers and sisters are fine, come back with me, second senior brother..."
Raising his head slightly, the tears slid down He Youdong's cheeks, looking at the familiar face, he opened his mouth and tried to speak, wanting to ask everything about Shen Jie and them, but no matter how hard he tried, there was only a sound of "uh-uh" in his throat
And the woman standing next to He Youdong had already burst into tears, Yeyang held the trembling hand tightly, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of torture the person who used to act like a chivalrous man and put a smile on his face all day long would become so decadent, Yeyang really didn't dare to think about it
The silk that tied He Youdong had been taken back by the woman, and under the gaze of others, Yeyang helped He Youdong up and took him out of the tavern...
The only inn in Nanxiu City called Wuxiang is located in the west of the city, and Yeyang moved here two days ago, this is the last post before he leaves, and it has been fourteen days since Huang Tianyi's departure
Outside the guest room, Yeyang stood in the corridor and standing next to it was the woman in yellow dressed as a man, Yeyang did not speak, and the woman was a little restrained like the little daughter-in-law of the family and did not dare to speak first
After a long time, there were some other sounds in the room, and Yeyang immediately turned and entered the room, leaving the somewhat nervous woman outside
"Senior Brother He..."
The old man had a lot of faces and ways of dressing up, making it difficult for Yeyang to quickly overlap it with He Youdong in his memory, and He Youdong, who heard Yeyang's words, nodded slightly, and pointed to the door that was not fully opened, Yeyang immediately understood what he meant, walked a few steps to open the door, and said to the woman: "Girl, come in." ”
Looking at each other, the eyes of the woman in yellow were full of tenderness, but He Youdong's eyes were full of guilt
"I can help you save your brother, of course all this is conditional"
Caught off guard, such a voice sounded in Yeyang's mind, and the voice was very similar to Yeyang's voice, but the voice contained a superior tone that Yeyang had never had
Not too surprised, Yeyang told him some of Shen Jie's situations under He Youdong's gaze, although most of them were made up by him, but He Youdong still didn't believe it without the slightest doubt, whether happy or sad, and when he heard Yeyang say that Jin Yuanzi wanted him to go back, He Youdong's eyes turned red again, and tears full of guilt slipped from the corners of his eyes...
