Chapter Twenty-Three: The Story of Tempo
As the saying goes: the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.
In a deep alley winding in Shennong Town, a farmhouse restaurant wafts around the strong aroma of food, the charm of the proprietress warmly greets every guest who comes, and several female waiters carry a variety of delicious dishes, shuttling through the corridor, and sending them into exquisite and elegant boxes.
When Teng Bo and Gu Ya walked into this tavern holding hands, the thirty or forty-year-old proprietress twisted the willow waist and exuded a charming posture to greet her, her eyes flashed with brilliance, and she chuckled: "Welcome to the two of you, tsk, our small shop, but there are few handsome men and beautiful women to come together, see that the two are a couple, right?" I finally saw the legendary talented woman. ”
Tenbo and Gu Ya had a smile on their faces, and the words of praise made their couple who had just fallen in love very comfortable, although they knew that this proprietress was the kind of person who was delicate and sleek, and they were also very satisfied.
"Thanks, give us a private room." Tengbo smiled lightly.
"Okay, you two, please come with me." The proprietress said with a smile, her tone soft as if she could drip water.
After entering the box, the proprietress made an excuse to leave, and when she saw the door closed, Gu Ya came to Tengbo's side and whispered: "I don't like this proprietress anymore, she is too charming." ”
Teng Bo smiled dumbly and said: "Those who do business like them, as long as they can satisfy the guests, this kind of flattery is also a skill, and I believe that many men will come again because of her flattery." ”
Gu Ya glared and said angrily: "Will you also come again because of her charming?" ”
Teng Bo shook his head and said, "If the food and drinks here are delicious, maybe I will come, and of course, I will bring you with me when I come." I've seen too many women like her, and I'm not interested in them at all. ”
An expression that seemed to be smiling appeared on Gu Ya's face, and she asked in a strange tone, "Then what kind of woman are you interested in?" ”
Teng Bo's eyes showed tenderness, he reached out and grabbed his quaint and delicate tender hand, and said, "I'm only interested in you." ”
Gu Ya was obviously very fond of this sentence, and glanced at Teng Bo coquettishly, before chuckling: "Flim tongue." ”
Before, Gu Ya had never been in love, although she had many suitors, but because she was worried about missing her grandfather, her biggest wish was to be able to find her grandfather and let him live by her side, and she didn't think about personal feelings at all.
However, now that her grandfather promised her that she was willing to follow her to live in Jiyang City, this was definitely a great joy for her, so in this joyful mood, she had the heart to consider the affairs of men and women for Tengbo's intentional or unintentional approach, and even later's crazy pursuit. She felt that Teng Bo had a particularly mysterious aura on his body, he was so cold before, like a piece of ice for ten thousand years, but now, he was like a fire, the taste of being pampered and loved, which made her enjoy it very much, and at the same time wanted to see Teng Bo thoroughly, wanting to know what kind of person he was.
There is another point, that is, people are handsome and naturally take advantage.
Soon, the fragrant meal was sent into the box by the waiter, and a pot of fragrant pure brew was placed in front of Tengbo, and the two waiters left the box at Tengbo's signal.
Gu Ya used chopsticks to clip a piece of chicken for Tengbo, put it in Tengbo's bowl, and then asked, "Tengbo, you haven't answered me yet, what do you do?" You won't still be in school, will you? ”
The smile on Teng Bo's face disappeared suddenly, what he was most afraid of now was Gu Ya asking him about it, but he also understood that he was afraid that his identity would tell Gu Ya sooner or later, there is a saying that is very good, if you love her, don't hide her, Teng Bo is unwilling to hide from Gu Ya, but there are some words, but he feels that he can't say it, because he is afraid, afraid that Gu Ya will dislike him and break up with him after knowing that he is a bloody executioner.
Glancing at Gu Ya cautiously, Teng Bo hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Xiao Ya, if I were a killer, would you still love me?" ”
Gu Ya was stunned, she was a girl with a bright heart, she had been smart since she was a child, and Tengbo's words made her suddenly have a bad premonition. Moreover, the stiff expression on Tengbo's face just now made her keenly capture.
With big bright eyes, she looked at Tengbo quietly, and she did not answer Tengbo's seemingly joking question, but waited for his next words.
The smile on Tengbo's face slowly disappeared, and at the moment when he slowly stood up, he subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit one, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with struggle.
Should I tell her or not?
Do you want to tell the truth?
At this moment, Tengbo suddenly sounded Lu Feng, if Lu Feng was here, then he must be able to give himself a good advice, right?
After being silent for two or three minutes, Teng Bo seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head to look at Gu Ya who was sitting on the chair, quietly looking at himself, and said, "Xiaoya, do you want to hear my story." Of course, if you are willing to leave me after knowing my identity, I will not stop you. ”
Gu Ya was very quiet, but with a strong curiosity in her eyes, she said softly, "Say it." ”
Tengbo turned his head to the window of the box, looked at the lush trees and foliage outside, and said quietly: "I am an illegitimate child, and when I was ten years old, my mother took me away and went to the United States. And my father, whom I had seen less than three times since I was a child, would send us a sum of money every year to live with my mother. ”
"In the next four years, my mother and I lived in a foreign country, living a life that could not be integrated into American society at all, that is, in the fourth year, a gang leader fell in love with my mother and wanted to possess her, a girl two years older than me appeared, and I watched her kill the gang leader and six or seven gangsters under him with a knife, and died in front of me."
"You know what? That Oriental girl, the girl who was only two years older than me, turned out to be my sister, a half-sister. My surname is Teng, and she is also surnamed Teng. After that day, my mother committed suicide and died in her room, and it was my sister who accompanied me to bury her. ”
When Teng Bo said this, what was revealed in his body was not pain, but hatred, a strong hatred that almost suffocated Gu Ya.
"My mother died, I was fourteen years old at the time, I lived in a big house, although my sister found two servants to serve me, and even often gave me a large sum of money, but she couldn't accompany me, she had to train, she wanted to kill, Xiaoya, do you know? I followed my sister for three years, and she stayed with me for no more than three months. Although, my knowledge, my skills in all aspects, were taught to me by my sister who found the best teachers in the United States. Even the cultivation techniques of their Teng family were taught to me by my sister. ”
After saying this, Teng Bo's hands were gently raised, and with a stream of internal strength that could not be captured by the naked eye, he quickly held up the plates and chopsticks on the table to the void, and quietly suspended two feet from the tabletop.
"Ah......h
Gu Ya looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, with a strong look of shock in her eyes, as if she had seen a ghost in the blue sky and daytime.
Teng Bo looked at the quaint appearance, and when he slowly put everything on the table, he said bitterly: "My only support, that sister with bloody hands, is my only spiritual support over the years, I don't know, if I don't have my sister, what is the meaning of my life." ”
"Until one day, my sister came to my house covered in blood, killed four teachers who taught me the course, and two employees who had taken care of me for several years, and then took me to the end of my life. The Mafia, a powerful underworld organization, hunted down and killed our sister and brother for half a year, and that was when I knew my sister's other identity, the killer, the harshest and most mysterious killer organization in the world. In that half a year, my hands began to be stained with blood, and I began to harvest human lives one by one. ”
Speaking of this, Teng Bo saw the fear in his quaint eyes, and felt a pain in his heart, but gritted his teeth and continued: "Half a year later, I followed my sister and ended my career of being hunted down and killed under the notice of the organization that mysteriously cultivated killers. My sister also completed her last mission to the mysterious organization, and that year, when I was not yet eighteen years old, my sister reluctantly agreed to let me enter the killer training organization, although I paid an astronomical amount of tuition. ”
"After I entered that mysterious organization, my sister stayed abroad for a year, and she was afraid that I would not be able to persevere and die in the devil's training camp, because she knew that eighty percent of the people who joined that devil's training camp every year would not be able to graduate. A year later, I was still alive and my sister had returned to China, while I was torn between killing and being killed. ”
"Are you still a killer?" Gu Ya finally spoke, her tone trembling a little, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
Tengbo nodded and said: "Yes, although I only have one last mission left, it is also a mission of nine deaths, if I can complete that task, I will be able to end the training camp career, if I can't complete it, there will be no Tengbo in this world." I'm coming back this time because my sister, and before my last mission, wants to see my sister and see someone else. ”
Gu Ya said in a trembling voice: "Your father? ”
Teng Bo's eyes flashed with hatred, and he shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, I don't have a father, I only have a sister." The person I came back to see was Lu Feng, a man my sister loved deeply, but he had always been unwilling to accept my sister's asshole. ”
