Chapter 1074: Moonlight, Bonfire
At night, Zhou Chen and they climbed over a mountain peak, and when it was getting late, they found a cave that was not very big, and several people were relieved, wild camping is the most dangerous, and they can't be ignited, but when they get to the cave, they can rest assured, at least they don't have to worry about becoming the target of the opposite sniper.
He made some weeds and stones to cover the entrance of the cave, and a bonfire was lit, and Luo Shiheng fell asleep on the ground with exhaustion without waiting for the hay to be laid.
Zhou Chen went to the top of the mountain to look at the terrain, Ren Xia was boiling hot water in the cave, and his eyes inadvertently came into contact with Yumengxi, both of them keenly noticed the vigilance in each other's eyes, and Ren Xia no longer had the initial pity and curiosity for Yumengxi. Yu Haitao has been dead for 2 days, and Yu Mengxi has not mentioned it once, which makes Ren Xia feel cold.
Although the Holy Sect also has similar doctrines, it does not mean that everyone in the Holy Sect is ruthless, on the contrary, Ren Xia belongs to the kind of girl who is full of feelings, from the beginning she sympathized with Yumengxi, and now, she is only disgusted with Yumengxi.
"Making a fire will cause people outside to smell it, there are biscuits, there is no need to ......"
"I've eaten enough."
Ren Xia said coldly, rejecting Yu Mengxi's proposal: "I will go to the vigil at night, and I don't have to worry about being discovered." ”
Yu Mengxi suddenly raised his head and said, "Do you hate me?" ”
Ren Xia was stunned by this question, stirring the hot water, she smiled: "You think too much, but it's just a clash of personalities, Zhou Chen wants to escort you, I have been with him for 10 days, endure these few days, we are just passers-by." ”
Yu Mengxi lowered his head: "I know you blame me for being ruthless and think I'm too vicious." ”
"You think too much, it's because you feel that your conscience is disturbed, sleep, sleep, and you will calm down when you wake up."
Yu Mengxi's face turned pale, and she heard Ren Xia's voiceover, saying that she was a ruthless woman by nature, and her uneasiness was only temporary.
Ren Xia sighed, didn't want to look at Yu Mengxi's face anymore, and walked outside the cave.
Zhou Chen stood on the top of the mountain and compared the map, heard the footsteps behind him, did not look back, and said, "Why don't you take a break?" I'll start the vigil. ”
Without answering, Ren Xia walked straight to the front of Zhou Chen, blowing the mountain peak and exhaling turbidity, and said, "What are you protecting Yumengxi for now?" Is it mercy? Sympathize? ”
"Of course it's fate, I'm not sure I'll be able to detoxify it in 10 days."
Ren Xia looked behind and looked at Zhou Chen strangely.
"Do you think I'm really that noble?" Zhou Chen said.
Ren Xia didn't laugh because of this self-deprecation, her eyes moved down the desolate mountain to the cold moon in the night sky, and after a while, she said: "These few days are my most leisurely days. ”
Zhou Chen was stunned, after returning to the world from the outer land, he has been running around and experienced life and death, Rao is Zhou Chen felt that his body was sore, and his heart said How can this be considered leisurely? It's strange to be a woman. But then Zhou Chen showed a hint of a narcissistic smile: "It's because of me that I don't feel worried." ”
"If you can keep your mouth shut, so much the better."
Ren Xia is still so ruthless when she speaks, but she didn't say sarcasm directly, this is not an easy thing, she understands that she likes Zhou Chen a little bit in her heart, but in addition to her identity and the interests of the sect, it is difficult to say how much she likes it, because she once had an unforgettable relationship in Lingnan, so Ren Xia has always been very conflicted in her heart.
Zhou Chen is definitely not her favorite in her heart, but the favorite one is dead, and the reality is that Zhou Chen is the only person she likes and can protect her at the moment. Zhou Chen's strength is not the strongest, but he is sincere to people, and he has not given up on anyone along the way.
Ren Xia took a look at him, and took out a small box from the package beside her, which was a monocular, she was still worried about the pursuers behind, and said: "I can't sleep at night, you sleep first, I'll keep vigil for you, I always feel that it is impossible for that group of people to give up so quickly." ”
Zhou Chen was indeed tired, and he didn't force it, sighing and reluctantly: "It's such a night, it should be the time to listen to songs and date, but it's a waste to sleep in the wilderness." ”
Ren Xia glanced at him, and suddenly said, "When I am a child? Our relationship is just a fake, don't forget that your wife is still lying in the hospital bed and has not woken up. ”
After saying this, Ren Xia immediately regretted it, she didn't know how to face Zhou Chen It was true, but she didn't want to poke Zhou Chen's sad things.
Zhou Chen shrugged, walked towards the cave, looked at Zhou Chen's back, Ren Xia raised her hand several times and wanted to call him, but the words were choked in her throat, I didn't know what to say, for a long time, sighed, and saw Zhou Chen enter the cave, she turned her head and looked at the moon in a daze.
In the cave, Luo Shiheng had already fallen asleep, he was the most tired one along the way, dragging a body of more than 200 catties, it was a miracle that he did not fall behind, Zhou Chen estimated that he would not wake up tonight, so he planned to take Luo Shiheng's vigil on himself.
If the next journey goes well, as long as there are two more days to be able to reach the range of Jiuhua Mountain, although Yuexitan has not heard of it, but I think the locals will know, and it will not delay too much time, Zhou Chen broke his fingers, and found that there were still ten days left, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Luo Shiheng really didn't have the rhythm to wake up, he kept snoring while holding his backpack, and occasionally muttered a few dream words such as beautiful women, which added a touch of vitality to the cave.
Zhou Chen looked through the light of the bonfire and found that a pair of dark eyes in the darkness opposite were blinking, and Yu Mengxi was not asleep. Zhou Chen looked into her eyes, but Yu Mengxi's gaze dodged and stared at the bonfire. Zhou Chen didn't open his mouth to ask why she didn't sleep, and Yu Mengxi didn't intend to answer, only the crackling sound of burning branches in the cave.
Yumengxi seemed to be a little tired, rubbed his eyes sourly, leaned against the grass and rolled over and closed his eyes. She could feel that Zhou Chen was still staring at herself, turned around awkwardly, turned over, and looked at Zhou Chen with some shame: "Why are you forcing me?" ”
Zhou Chen looked at her lightly, without meaning to speak.
Yu Mengxi said angrily: "Everything is gone for me, but I'm not a lost dog!" I must avenge all the people of the royal family who died in vain, including Yu Haitao, so that his death cannot be wasted! "Although she has been through a lot, she is a twenty-year-old girl after all, and she still can't ignore all life.
Zhou Chen sighed: "Do you think that everyone's sacrifice is to pave the cornerstone of your path of revenge?" ”
Yu Mengxi was slightly stunned, her non-answer had proved her heart, Zhou Chen felt a little pitiful in his heart, and said, "You haven't understood the reason why your grandfather let you leave alone." In fact, there is nothing to take revenge on, and no one has to avenge for whom. Even if you don't do anything, that person will still be a pile of dry bones in a few decades, and he may prefer you to seek revenge on him, so that he can never suffer from future troubles, but if you live, the better you live, the more afraid he will be, and even when he recalls what he did to you, he will be worried about sleepless nights, and he will worry about when you will go to take revenge. Revenge does not have to let the other party die. "The truth that life is better than death is accepted anywhere, but Zhou Chen's words may not be accepted.
Zhou Chen didn't let Yu Mengxi give up revenge, but he felt a little emotional, he felt worthless for Yu Haitao's death, whether it was the Yu family, the four sects, or even the mysterious black hand behind the Yu family, all he did was a conflict of interests, Yu Donglin has never found danger, not necessarily, but he didn't say it himself, and chose to let the Yu family accompany the funeral, but it was the people around him who suffered.
Zhou Chen should have dealt with the aftermath in the outer land, and then gradually retreated into the background, and then took his family to live freely, instead of accompanying a woman with a deep hatred to break through the trap.
Yu Mengxi Hao bit his lower lip tightly, and under the firelight, his lips were like blood. She didn't accept Zhou Chen's words, life was better than death or something, in her heart, it was wrong. Born with responsibility, and as the pearl of the royal family, she has to bear everything of the royal family, she is grateful to Zhou Chen for what she did for her, and she is also guilty of implicating Zhou Chen in this matter, but the royal family has sacrificed, and now even the last servant of the royal family has sacrificed for her, she has no way out!
The sacrifice is worth it! As long as you wait until you reach the Moon Rest Lake, you will be able to find enough strength, and when the time comes, you must return to the outer land and wash the enemy with blood!
In the darkness, Yumengxi's body seemed to reveal a sinister aura, and the shadow danced like a devil under the flames.
Zhou Chen suddenly said, "Do you know why I haven't persuaded you all the time? He looked beyond the campfire and out of the cave: "It's not because of the poison in my chest, but I want to see what hatred can make a person look like." On the hillside outside the cave, there is a woman, she is the holy daughter of the Holy Sect, because of this identity, she and the Demon Dao Shore are destined to have an indescribable hatred, how can I persuade her? Forcing her to renounce her religious identity, or keeping her grounded from all this? Zhou Chen sighed softly: "People are restricted, but the heart can fly away." ”
"In addition to her, there are many poor girls like her, Yu He wants to recover Dao Yunfeng, Guang Lingxian wants to follow the instructions of Buddhism, Xu Shengnan has tragic memories, what if they become as extreme as you one day in the future? I wanted to see if I had the courage to stop them. ”
Yu Mengxi had tears in her eyes, her lips were no longer clenched, and her expression was painful.
Zhou Chen said: "Whether you accept it yourself or not, the Yu family has been completely wiped out, you can't live with hatred for a lifetime, and you shouldn't just remember revenge, but you should also understand that Yu Haitao made the choice of sacrifice in order to let you live." ”
After speaking, Zhou Chen walked to the entrance of the cave, leaned against the boulder, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.
Yu Mengxi still looked at Zhou Chen, her expression was still painful, Zhou Chen's words just now obviously hurt the most vulnerable place in her heart, it was her nightmare. Standing up, she walked to the innermost part of the cave, as if she was afraid to see Zhou Chen, afraid to feel the temperature of the bonfire that could warm her heart. When she reached a place where the fire could not shine at all, she curled up on the ground, but her gaze was more determined.
In any case, be sure to get revenge! The hatred of the royal family must not be forgotten, no matter what the cost, it is necessary to let the royal family bloom again in its original glory.
In fact, she understands that if she asks Zhou Chen for help, the revenge of the royal family will definitely be avenged, and Xiao Shi and Gu Ning, two masters of the Void Level, will definitely kill all the people of the realm master. But in this way, the strength will be exposed, and the Four Sects and the Huaxia family will definitely not let it go when the time comes. Although the revenge was avenged, there was no way to restore the glory of the royal family.
Therefore, Yu Mengxi took the initiative to give up this one, which was the reason why she was indifferent to Zhou Chen.
The past has become a cloud of smoke, and only by cutting it ruthlessly can we take a desperate step.
