Chapter 177: Proving Through Damage
As soon as Man Yun, who was holding his cheeks, wanted to exhale pain, the oil lamp in the room, which was already only emitting the glimmer of rice grains, went out all of a sudden, and the room was dark.
Staying in a foreign land that people are not familiar with every night, Zhou Manyun deliberately found this neat and simple courtyard, according to secular common sense, so that the family style of Zhongping people who are good at running a family will be more stable. After the stay, the host's house is as Manyun expected, simple and thrifty, and the guests are warm and polite without being overly enthusiastic, but a small oil lamp provided during the evening placement only gives a thin layer of oil.
Sunrise and sunset. At night, when everyone enters the room, they blow out the lamp and go to bed early, and the stubborn farmhouse habits will not change in order to entertain foreign guests.
And no matter who it is, no matter how much they hold it up, the nature in their bones is also difficult to change.
The anger felt in the darkness became more and more intense, and the pair of eyes staring at her opposite Xiao Hong looked like a wounded lone wolf.
However, in the past few years, I have gradually been relieved of my guard by the loving and respectful two-foot-five, forgetting that this person was originally a person who must be repaid. The young man who first arrived in Huocheng with the slave trafficking team back then could just run away in peace, but he preferred to kill people in public at the city gate, and turned a trivial matter that could be endured into a storm in the city. Other people's ruthless fighting courage is on the face, but his is tightly hidden in the body.
This time, maybe the attack on Qianbei Beach caused a fire, so I thought about breaking through. Or maybe his own medication to bring him down also attracted hatred......
Zhou Manyun didn't dare to shout, but there was already a mess of porridge in his mind, and he blinked his eyes hard to signal Xiao Hong to let her go first. He acted like a frame against the enemy, and she couldn't afford it.
The hand that pressed against Man Yun's face was released, but almost at the same time, the man's strong limbs tightened her body tighter, and she spun around. He pressed her firmly on the bed, and then lowered his head to seal her cherry lips.
The limbs pressed on the body were young and sturdy, exuding a scorching aura, as if the plundering regardless of everything made people fearful, and there was even a hint of excitement. Zhou Manyun felt an irrepressible shame in his heart, and his body dodged uncooperatively, but he never called for more effective silver to help at this time.
"Xiao Hong! What are you doing! β
finally struggled to say goodbye to Man Yun in the dangerous suffocation. Drinking and asking the man who was still pressing on her, there was a bloodshot line on the corner of his lips, his eyes were slightly wary, and the hand knife that stood on his side was ready at his side at any time.
"It's what you're going to do!" , Xiao Hong reached down with a big hand and pinched Man Yun's palm stiffly, sneered again, and dragged the woman on the bed to sit up with both hands.
"What do you think I'm going to do with you? I think that with your dead appearance now, I am still interested in strengthening you? Silently staring at the chest line that rose and fell with rapid breathing in the blurred darkness. Xiao Hong's voice was filled with an indissoluble tiredness, and he shook his hand away and said, "Actually, it's like always ironing me like an animal in heat can't be tied tightly." Zhou Manyun! You just can't trust me all the time. β
Trust doesn't grow stronger as you get closer. Zhou Manyun, who cooperated with him to grab silver on the Xilan River, believed him when he talked about money and silver, but after the two became fiancΓ©es, the closer relationship made trust thin.
Zhou Manyun's inexplicable emotions that were covered up, he had already felt it. Even Lu Harizi and others could see that they had persuaded him, and girls would naturally think more and worry more about things than men. But at this point, Xiao Hong more truly experienced the strong helplessness of not being trusted.
"Zhou Manyun! It was you who said it yourself in Qingyuan. We're all in this together, and we don't hide from each other. I tried to do it. But what did you do? It's annoying to get me off the boat without saying a word! I actually used kisses to poison it, and I hate it too......"
"If I talk to you about it, can you agree?" , Man Yun, who had just been thrown crooked, sat up straight with a bullet and replied stubbornly.
"No!". Xiao Hong replied very simply, and said, "So, do you think it's good to make it a fact?" Then if I really strengthened you just now, wouldn't it be okay? Zhou Manyun, you have always been so unfair! β
"Two things can't be confused, okay? Base. It's not the same at all, ......", Man Yun was speechless, a little ashamed, but more of a grievance that was unreasonable.
The tip of the needle is against Maimang!
In the darkroom, a pair of young men and women sat on a bed that could have been lying side by side, glaring at each other angrily, as if they wanted to make each other submit by staring at each other.
Even if he stole him off the Shengping ship without saying hello, he really scared himself when he put on a posture to strengthen himself just now. Never forgive and don't bow your head, otherwise you will be accused by him to death like in your previous life...... Feeling depressed, Zhou Manyun regained the Zhou family's inherent dead cow nature, bit his lip and sat without saying a word.
"Route!" After a long time, Xiao Hong, who had been frozen on the opposite side, proudly tore away the silence.
Seeing that the woman opposite was still stunned, he coughed again and emphasized: "Zhou Manyun! If you take me away, there must be a route to the north, right? β
"Yes! Last night, because of the rush from the Linping Wharf, only in the side of the village to find the ox cart to hurry, Jihua tomorrow morning we went to Baizhu County to change horses, from the land to the general's hat, and then cross the end of the ......", Zhou Manyun tablet who came back to his senses responded, like a little monk who had no intention of chanting.
"According to your route, did you let me avoid Qingyuan and Xiakou and cross the river in Runzhou? Qingyuan, Xiakou...... The Gao family is so arrogant, but I have to flee to the north like a lost dog? β
"It's not to escape, it's just that there's no need to fight hard! What is the Gao family, your safety is more important, right? Zhou Manyun turned his face away helplessly, and tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes. Finally, just like in her previous life, Xiao Hong in front of her still mentioned the Gao family with a weird yin and yang attitude, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.
"My safety is more important?" , Xiao Hong lowered his head and smiled, the meaning in his eyes was incomprehensible.
And so it goes! Thinking of all the embarrassments he encountered in his previous life because of talking about the Gao family, Man Yun's tears finally rolled down like ripples, with a little bit of resentment that had accumulated for two lifetimes, and said angrily: "If it weren't for you, would it be difficult or for the arrogance of the Gao family?" It's an irrelevant person at all, even zaijian is just an enemy to pinch to death, and you don't think I've brought you a bunch of unwarranted disasters! β
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who blames women when things happen? Zhou Manyun! Man Yun ...... Manyun! Okay haode, why are you crying again? Don't cry soon, people will hear and think I'm you......"
The angry shouting and questioning instantly collapsed in the tears that he suddenly realized, Xiao Hong, who had made up his mind to teach his girl a lesson, almost rubbed his hands and feet to Zhou Manyun's side, and once again carefully took the girl into his arms.
Man Yun, who really felt wronged, simply shrank back, put his little face on the side of the man's solid chest, and cried vividly.
"That's it! I understand that you are all for my haode, really, I understand! Gently kissing the top of Man Yun's hair and forehead, Xiao Hong lowered his eyes in resignation.
Lu Harrier's admonition clearly crawled in the young man's heart at this moment. A woman can't be spoiled from the beginning, treat her well every day, but if she treats her badly only one day, she feels wronged, but for a long time she ignores it and occasionally treats her gentlely, which will make the little woman grateful to Dade.
Perhaps, my uncle's experience is right, but he has not taught how to change it if it is wrong from the beginning?
Slowly soothing Man Yun's crying and quietly hugging her for a while, Xiao Hong lowered his head and put his head in Man Yun's ear and asked, "Zhou Manyun!" Do you have Jihua and me going directly to Yunzhou? β
Zhou Manyun, who was crying red eyes, was stunned, and then shook his head vigorously.
Originally, she only gave herself a maximum of thirteen or fourteen days to send it, and she thought about returning to Huocheng in time for Grandpa's five or seven o'clock, but now the bloody wind and rain encountered during the journey made her unable to let go. was already comforting himself, the lives of the living were important, and he was ashamed of Grandpa, and then went directly to Yunzhou, and even more failed Grandpa's request to reschedule before his death.
Xiao Hong nodded a little disappointedly and continued to ask, "Then how did you arrange your return trip?" According to the route just told me, you must at least follow me to Runzhou Xinyang Ferry. What do you do on the way back? β
"I'll go back to Huocheng the same way by myself!" , The person in his arms responded very unconfidently.
Xiao Hong, who had judged the truth based on his feelings, snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Stupid! When you got me off the boat in Lin Ping, you didn't have a good return trip at all, did you? β
"No one wants to arrest me, and I can take care of myself." , Man Yun, who was scolded for being stupid, immediately defended.
"This kind of line was given by Uncle Lu, who only cares about me, maybe he still thinks that I can take you back to Yunzhou directly. But we can't go like this, or tomorrow we will directly separate and let Dong Bao take you back to Linping......"
"This won't work! I've got to watch you! Otherwise, if I walk on the front foot, you will touch the river with the back foot. β
"You know me well!" , Xiao Hong sneered and chuckled: "Then you can't give up on me so much, we can only change the route to Qingyuan, and I'll cross the river from there." β
"No, you can't!" , Zhou Manyun almost jumped up, and said hurriedly: "Qingyuan is the ancestral land of the Gao family after all, since you know that they are behind the ghost, you can't go over." β
"But from the point of view of your return trip, traveling along the river is the most haode. Originally, I asked you to stay in Lin Ping, and Hongmei would take Yun Jinfan to find you, and as long as you don't make a big disturbance on the way back, you can have no worries all the way. And now we can only let Yun Jinfan come up along the river to pick you up. β
"I said I could be alone!" , Zhou Manyun replied stiffly, and immediately raised his hand to cover his lips, and looked up at the blurred face of the man in the dark.
If Xiao Hong had already thought of her return arrangement, then it would be not only Xiao Hong who would be protected by sticking to the eyes of the followers in the north with great fanfare, but also her. (To be continued......)
