Chapter 6: The Way Home
Gu Qingcheng happily walked in the direction of the carriage with two bowls of sour plum soup, but he didn't expect Long Yuting to stand outside the carriage waiting for her, his handsome face with a hint of anger. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Allure, didn't I tell you to be around here?"
Gu Qingcheng made an innocent statement, handed him the sour plum soup and said, "I'm going to buy sour plum soup for you, it's actually not far, it's just over in the market." ”
Long Yuting took a sip of sour plum soup, this soup tasted good, but he looked up and saw that there were some fine beads of sweat on Gu Qingcheng's forehead, and there were some footprints on the corners of her clothes, which seemed to have been deliberately kicked by someone, what happened during the time she was not in his sight, could it be that she had a fight with someone?
He glanced at Gu Qingcheng suspiciously, she was a little weak-hearted, the fight was indeed hidden from Long Yuting, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear that he would blame herself.
"Childe, I'll get into the carriage."
She said timidly, bowing her head and about to go into the carriage, when suddenly a sound came from a sonorous voice, and she heard a rush of footsteps, and looked back to see that it was a vendor selling sour plum soup.
The peddler walked over with a smile and shoved the silver into her hand: "Little boy, didn't I say that I won't accept your money today, you better take it back." ”
Gu Tingcheng was stunned, it was really a pot that could not be opened, and finally avoided Long Yuting's doubts, the hawker ran over to give her the silver, wouldn't everything covered up be in vain, she hurriedly gave the hawker a look and signaled him not to tell what happened just now.
"We bought your sour plum soup, and it is right to give you silver." Long Yuting said to the peddler, and his seemingly casual words were actually leading him to tell the truth.
Sure enough, the peddler didn't understand Gu Tingcheng's meaning, and resolutely refused to accept the silver, and said to Gu Tingcheng very politely: "The little boy punished the bully just now, and spoke out for us who are often oppressed by the small traders, so those sour plum soups are for you." ”
Long Yuting turned his face to Gu Tingcheng again, and said to her with a smile: "Allure, I think it is necessary for you to explain what just happened. ”
Gu Tingcheng smiled awkwardly: "I just helped them a little, after all, I can't watch them being bullied by bullies." She recounted this matter as briefly as possible, just because she didn't want Long Yuting to continue to ask, it would be troublesome to pull out more questions later.
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the hawker took over the words and said approvingly: "The little boy was brave just now, surrounded by four or five bullies, and he is still fearless in dealing with them, he really deserves to be a young talent." ”
The more he said Gu Qingcheng's face became more ugly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, wanting to stop the hawker's words, but Long Yuting motioned for him to continue.
The hawker's eyebrows fluttered, and he added fuel to the plot, Gu Qingcheng was described by him as extremely brave, and when she heard this, she really wanted to find a crack to drill into. In the end, the vendor still did not ask for their money, and said goodbye to them with a smile.
Gu Qingcheng was already stiff there, Long Yuting looked at her thoughtfully, she was thinking about how to answer him next, only to see his smile frozen, the bone fan in his hand flew towards her waist and abdomen, seeing that his strength was not light, it would definitely hurt when the fan hit, she subconsciously raised her foot and kicked the bone fan away.
I saw that the fan turned a perfect arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, Gu Qingcheng thought to himself that this was bad, Long Yuting must be testing her, she didn't care so much, she wanted to make up for it, and walked to the fan to pick it up, but was unexpectedly stopped by Long Yuting, he looked at her coldly, and his black eyes were full of doubts.
"Allure girl, you actually know kung fu, and your moves are very strange." His voice was not as gentle as it used to be, and there was a hint of doubt in its coldness.
Gu Qingcheng frowned, Long Yuting's question really stumped her, she couldn't tell him that she had crossed over, they had only been in contact with each other for a short time, and it was not yet time to talk about this matter, if he said it so abruptly, he would probably be even more suspicious. She thought about it, pursed her lips, and then slowly spoke: "Childe, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I know some kung fu, this is what a master taught me before, he pitied me for being lonely, afraid that I would be bullied by the evil young man, so he gave me some protective skills, but my foundation is weak, these carving insect skills can deal with ordinary people, I am not worth mentioning in front of the master." ”
She was afraid that Long Yuting still didn't believe it, so she added: "My master lives in the mountains all the year round, so the kung fu he knows is his own creation, originally to deal with wild beasts, and later improved some, Childe, you see my strange moves for this reason." When she said this, she wanted to slap herself in the face, and insisted on making up a set of stories for him, in fact, there are no masters and beasts, but they are deliberately woven out to prevent him from being suspicious, and as for believing it or not, it can only be up to him.
Gu Qingcheng lowered his head and quietly glanced at Long Yuting with his spare eyes, seeing that his face slowly eased, she also breathed a sigh of relief, I hope he doesn't blame himself.
In the middle of the sound, he spat out a few words from his thin lips: "Allure girl, I believe you." ”
Gu Tingcheng was so moved that he almost burst into tears, fortunately he trusted himself, when she made up such a set of lies, she didn't want to believe it, but Long Yuting was still willing to choose to believe her, since he believed her, then he shouldn't have driven her away, before she was completely familiar with Beichen Kingdom, she didn't want to live alone, it was too dangerous for her.
The sergeants who defended the city finally checked on them, and the sergeants looked at the portraits in their hands, and then at their faces, and there was nothing suspicious, so they let them go with a wave of their hands.
Gu Qingcheng returned to the carriage, the atmosphere suddenly became stiff, the carriage was out of the city for a long time, and the three people in the carriage did not speak.
It was Mo Yu who broke the deadlock, he said: "Actually, it's good to know some kung fu, not only to strengthen the body, but also to defend myself, and I will learn a trick or two when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Gu Tingcheng continued to laugh dryly, and Long Yuting changed his words and said: "Allure girl, since you are willing to follow me, don't hide some things from me, although you know some kung fu, but I can't remind you, don't be reckless, after all, you are a woman, and you can only do some basic kung fu, what if something happens." ”
"I'll take Childe's words to heart." Gu Qingcheng nodded yes, what he said was indeed reasonable, when she was entangled with the bullies, if it wasn't for the man who suddenly appeared to help her, it would be difficult for her to deal with a few bullies alone.
Long Yuting continued to emphasize: "Allure girl, as long as you are by my side, I will definitely protect you." ”
His words were like a promise, which made Gu Qingcheng feel warm in his heart, in this strange world, it was good to be protected like this.
