Chapter 45: The Border City Dogfight (1 Update)
This was the sixth day after He Jingtian left Kushui Town.
The martial arts competition on Wolf Mountain is no longer so lively, and these people from the rivers and lakes did not come to Saibei to fight, but now some of them have left here and gone to other places.
Jing Tianming and Li Chong went to help the residents of Kushui Town work early in the morning, and Ling'er also went to take care of the injuries of Sheng Di and Shen Tingting, leaving Liao Xiaomeng alone in the place where they lived together. It's not that they don't want to go out with Xiaomeng, but Ling'er finds that Xiaomeng has been secretly crying every night these days, and sometimes she doesn't sleep with tear stains on her cheeks until dawn. She didn't know what sad things Xiaomeng had encountered, and she wanted to ask several times but couldn't bear to speak, for fear of making Xiaomeng even more sad. Ling'er whispered to Jing Tianming and Shen Tingting, and everyone also saw that Xiaomeng's eyes were a little red and swollen recently, and she was worried that she was hurting her body, so she didn't bother her every morning, hoping that she could sleep a little more and accompany her more when she came back at noon.
At this time, there was still some time before noon, and Xiaomeng had nothing to do for a while, so he walked out of the courtyard and strolled through the streets of Kushui Town.
Kushui Town was originally a border town, and it took only a moment to walk from the west to the east of the town. Liao Xiaomeng watched the residents of the town along the road with a difficult livelihood and a difficult life, and remembered that He Jingtian often led the Confucian scholars to take care of their lives, wrote letters to distant relatives for these residents, and later arranged for Jing Tianming to stay and help, his benevolence and chivalry were really admirable and praised, coupled with He Jingtian's gentle care for himself, it was even more heartwarming. But the more Liao Xiaomeng was moved, the more he didn't dare to accept this feeling in his heart. She was afraid that she would not be able to get out of the shadow of the fruitless relationship with Fusu, that she would eventually hurt He Jingtian, and that her old wounds would not heal and her new wounds would be deeper. After all, He Jingtian still has a layer of identity as the guest of Fusu Gongzi, so the better He Jingtian treats himself, the more contradictory Liao Xiaomeng is in his heart, and the more sad he can't help himself. The tears she shed in the dead of night were not all because of Fusu, but also because of He Sedum, but more for herself.
Just as Xiaomeng was thinking and Gu Zi was walking sadly, he suddenly saw two figures not far in front, which were Gu Qiuyi and Tang Tianhong.
Liao Xiaomeng wanted to step forward to say hello, but suddenly felt that the expressions and behaviors of the two seemed a little strange, so he stopped and did not alarm them.
I only heard Tang Tianhong say: "Miss Gu, I have something in my heart, I have been wanting to talk to you these days......"
"Brother Tang," Gu Qiuyi interrupted, "Don't we see each other every day, what do you have to say...... Must say it now? He lowered his head and stared at his toes.
"There were always Miss Liao and Miss Ling by my side before, and I couldn't find a chance," Tang Tianhong said, "I want to talk to you about these words alone." ”
"What's that...... Do you have to talk about it alone? Gu Qiuyi's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't dare to look up at Tang Tianhong's eyes.
"Since we heard the news of the Gu family's accident, our Tang family has been very sad, and I have been inquiring about your news for the past two years......" Tang Tianhong continued.
"Well, I know that Brother Tang must have suffered a lot in order to find me," Gu Qiu said, "The little sister is also very uneasy. ”
"Looking for you, I don't feel bitter at all, I don't feel tired, and I don't want you to be grateful," Tang Tianhong held Gu Qiuyi's shoulders and said, "Because I know that the hardship you endure is the heaviest, the sadness in your heart is the deepest, and you are also the strongest girl I have ever seen!" ”
Gu Qiu said: "Brother Tang, thank you for coming to me from thousands of miles away, and thank you for the care of the uncles and aunts of the Tang family, the little sister will be remembered for the rest of her life, but ......"
"You listen to me first," Tang Tianhong interrupted, "I'm not pitying you, our Tang and Gu families have a close relationship, and they should be one, the Gu family's affairs are the Tang family's affairs, and the Gu family's hatred is of course the Tang family's hatred!" What's more, we have the order of our parents as an appointment, and these four jade pendants as a matchmaker, so I will never ignore your affairs, whether it is revenge or guarding the secrets of Canglong Qisu, I will be with you. ”
"Brother Tang, it's true that we have a marriage contract, but ......" Gu Qiuyi bit his lip and continued, "But we have never gotten along before, and we don't know much about each other, you treat me more out of responsibility and the relationship between the Gu and Tang families, maybe I'm not the kind of girl you like?" ”
"We didn't get along before, so what about now?" Tang Tianhong said, "Why don't you want to give us a chance to get along now?" ”
"I ......" Gu Qiu was stunned, avoiding Tang Tianhong's gaze, and said, "I just feel a little sudden, and I don't ...... used to it for a while."
Tang Tianhong looked at Gu Qiuyi, and stopped talking.
Tang Tianhong could sense that Gu Qiuyi herself had realized the secret in her heart. During this time, Gu Qiuyi did deliberately avoid Tang Tianhong, not only because of the marriage contract between the two, but also because of Jing Tianming. At the beginning, Tianming persuaded Qiu Yi to go north with them, and in the past half a year, they walked together and fought side by side many times, although Gu Qiuyi knew the relationship between Jing Tianming and Ling'er, but she could also feel Tianming's concern for herself, perhaps because the two of them had similar experiences of family ruin, as well as the two common enemies of the Luo Wang Organization and the Yin and Yang Family, Gu Qiu often felt that Jing Tianming and himself had a bit of a tacit understanding, and in some ways they were the same kind of people. Since the Gu family was wiped out more than two years ago, Gu Qiuyi did not go to the Tang family to visit and defect to the Tang family, at first because he did not want to involve the Tang family and become the target of the net organization and the Yin and Yang family, and wanted to take revenge alone. In fact, Gu Qiuyi hoped that the Tang family would think that she was dead, and hoped that they would forget about it. Many people will say a word called "empathy", but in fact, there is no "empathy", so how can there be "empathy"? However, when she met Jing Tianming later, she could really "empathize", and in this regard, Tang Tianhong was inferior to Jing Tianming.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Liao Xiaomeng has been standing behind an alley dozens of steps away and has not shown up. At this time, she heard Gu Qiuyi and Tang Tianhong talking, and couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart, emotional things, sometimes they are so unclear, the way is unclear, but they are entangled in their hearts and thoughts, when people are facing feelings, they often contradict each other from sensibility and reason, contradict each other, teach people to be convincing, and be sad. She thought of herself from Gu and Tang, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I hope they will have a good result in the end, don't be like me, it's a fruitless result......" Xiaomeng said in her heart.
Just as Liao Xiao dreamed of a dream and her eyes wandered, several figures who had been secretly watching for a long time were quietly approaching her.
By the time Xiaomeng, who was in a trance, realized it, it was already too late.
She only saw a rickety old man approaching, and suddenly there was an extra blowpipe in his hand, followed by a puff of smoke. Suddenly, Xiaomeng only felt that the world was spinning, and she wanted to reach out and pull out the long sword behind her back, but her arm didn't obey the call. The next moment, there was already a vigorous big hand stretched out to him, and he was sleeping in the middle of the hole, and what happened after that, Xiaomeng didn't know anything.
