Chapter Twenty-Three: In the middle of the night, my heart is in turmoil
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out from behind.
As his pupils contracted suddenly, Dong Ping only felt a sharp pain coming from his limbs, and his body was already out of control and smashed the hard ground.
"You're doing a good job, sir."
"Hehe, it's just reciprocal, this is a real society."
Before losing consciousness, he only heard the last two words.
Dong Ping woke up suddenly, propped himself up and looked around, he was in a room of dozens of square meters, and through the window screen, he could see that the sky was still full of stars outside.
looked at the palms of his hands, only to realize that he had broken out in a cold sweat, as if he had just come out of the water after soaking in the water.
"It's this dream again." Dong Ping had a lot of thoughts in his heart, it had been almost a month since he came to this world, and almost every two or three days, this nightmare would be repeated in his mind.
Those two sentences made him think all the time, there must be a traitor in the team!
"Hehe, it is said that the current society has many brothers on the surface, but the comrades-in-arms who were born and died would actually betray me for profit!" Dong Ping laughed at himself for a while, and then laughed again, now in the Northern Song Dynasty, what is the "current society!" ”
Shaking his head, Dong Ping didn't bother to think about these things in his previous life.
Turning over from the bed, putting on only a layer of windbreaker, Dong Ping walked slowly into the courtyard.
The cold autumn wind hit his face, diluting the hatred in his mind, and also making his spirit more sober, and the few remaining traces of sleepiness were gone.
It has been more than ten days since he left Gaotang Prefecture, and Gao Lian should have arrived safely to Gao Yu, but there has been no movement until now.
I don't know what kind of calculation this Gao Yu is playing! I can still sit still in the face of my brother's serious injury!
Hu Yanzhuo came one day late, he had to stay in Liangshan for one more day, although Zhu Wu was in Dongping Mansion, it was difficult to guarantee that Cheng Wanli would not make any small moves.
After all, this person has collusion with Murong Yanda, and he is anxious to do anything.
In addition, this unsuccessful broken system also made him irritable.
A month has passed, and I got this system for a whole month, and it still can't be used normally!
It is said that it is the next historical stage, who knows when the next stage will be!
Dong Ping scolded the broken system in his heart, but he couldn't change the facts in front of him.
I had no choice but to resign myself to fate.
As for Chai Jin, it would be good if he could come down to Dong'an Family, and Dong Ping didn't expect him to be able to work for himself now.
In the chaos a few days ago, he had asked Zhu Wu and the four of them to transport Chai Jin's family and all the family property to Dongping, so Chai Jin would definitely not have two hearts in Dongping.
Of course, Chai Jin failed to appear in the prison of Gaotang Prefecture as Song Jiang wished, and Dong Ping casually found a reason, saying that Chai Jin had been killed by Gao Lian.
Song Jiang naturally didn't believe it when he heard the news, but an hour later, after the scouts reported that there was no Chai Jin in the entire city, he just cried bitterly and ordered to kill Gao Lian's family.
And the expression on Wu Yong's face was much more exciting, anyway, no one knew what he thought when he suggested that Song Jiang attack Gaotang Prefecture at that time.
In short, the money and grain brought back from Gaotang Prefecture this time were still very rich, and the grain was enough to last for a year, and there were countless amounts of gold and silver.
After returning to Liangshan, Song Jiang made a meritorious contribution to Dong Ping's breakthrough and overrode public opinion, and directly ranked in the sixth place, that is, after Lin Chong.
In less than half a month, Dai Zong and Li Kui, who were sent to Liao when Song Jiang left Gaotang Prefecture before, had already brought Gongsun Sheng back, and Gongsun Sheng heard that a man named Dong Shuang had actually broken the cycle of gossip array, and he also came to talk to Dong Ping a few times.
Of course, Dong Ping is not proficient in these formations, in fact, if Zhu Wu hadn't discussed it with him today, I'm afraid that no matter how many people he brings, he will be wiped out!
Therefore, when Gongsun Sheng asked about the details, Dong Ping just prevaricated casually, and although Gongsun Sheng was suspicious, he didn't say anything.
Dong Ping chose a house in the back mountain, went down the mountain a few times, and purchased some materials and other equipment for the Golden Swallow Crossbow.
Tang Bin also came over the day after Dong Ping returned to the mountain, and Song Jiang was naturally willing to have one more general, ranking Tang Bin directly to the tenth place.
Dong Ping took the time to ask Tang Bin, but he only said that he didn't see anything clearly that day, and he was knocked out by Cheng Wan'er.
So exaggerated? Dong Ping didn't know what words to use to describe his mood, he simply didn't care about it, after all, Cheng Wan'er was so good, and he didn't have to worry about her safety
Time comes back to the present.
Before I knew it, I had walked near the weapon rack.
The cold touch came from his fingertips, and for some reason, he had a familiar intimacy with the two guns, and every time he walked to the weapon rack, it was like seeing his old friend.
Also, although he has always been a cheerful image in front of others before, only he knows the loneliness in his heart.
When he was a child, because his family was poor, he was bullied a lot, his parents were honest farmers, and he guarded the one-third of an acre of land all day long, and he really didn't want to continue to repeat the life of his ancestors for a lifetime.
Therefore, he chose to join the army, wanting to make a name for himself in the army, and the first time he came into contact with firearms, he felt that this thing could bring him a sense of security, which was very similar to the original Dong Ping's life trajectory.
"Hehe, it's fate." Dong Ping smiled and shook his head.
Then, that happened, and when I opened my eyes again, it was already a thousand years ago.
If there was no such system, he would not have been so prosperous in the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is likely that in the city of Gaotang Prefecture, he was killed under the ambush of those officials and soldiers!
Okay, how come back to the topic!
Dong Ping scolded secretly and forced himself not to think about these things anymore.
Anyway, I can't sleep, it's better to practice weapons, thinking so, Dong Ping took the gilded gun in his hand and danced in the courtyard.
Sweeping, splitting, picking, stabbing, and dialing, the essence of marksmanship is vividly displayed in Dong Ping's hands.
The twin guns swept through the fallen leaves all over the ground, stirring up the maple leaves in the sky, and the air waves rolling up on the flat ground took on a hint of gold as Dong Ping's figure passed through.
Soon, another gust of wind penetrated, Dong Ping let go of his right hand, and saw that the five-foot-wide tree in front of him had been crossed.
"Boom!" Dong Ping pulled out the trunk of the tree, and the hundred-year-old tree fell in response, shaking up a cloud of dust on the ground.
Dong Ping didn't have any excitement in his heart, but just plunged the pair of gilt guns into the soft mound of soil on the side, and sat on top of the collapsed tree trunk.
Holding his head in both hands, Dong Ping only felt a mess in his mind.
"Hehe, Dong Du is in charge of his skills." A shadow jumped down from the courtyard wall, "Is it possible to have leisure so late?" ”
"You're here." After Dong Ping saw the comer clearly, he put down his hanging heart and sat down again, the gloom on his face was obviously trying to restrain himself.
"What, do you remember the past again?" Cheng Wan'er sat down and looked at the starry sky: "You always liked to ask me before, what is the meaning of human life, and now, are you still worried about this matter?"
"yes." Dong Ping sighed lightly, with a sadness in his tone: "I have been a person since I was a child, and it was Cheng Taishou who adopted me, so I had a home and a chance to meet you."
Cheng Wan'er looked at Dong Ping's eyes, and she could feel the deep and complex emotions.
"And then that's what happened." Cheng Wan'er took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and stared at the broken place on it.
The surface of the fish-shaped jade pendant is smooth and showy, but at the tail of the fish, there is a cross-section that is as neat as a modern lathe.
Obviously, there is another half of this jade pendant.
This jade pendant was originally a collection in Cheng Wanli's study, and Cheng Wan'er also inadvertently brought the jade pendant out once.
Dong Ping smiled bitterly: "After I saw it, I immediately recognized it, this is the jade pendant that my parents carried, they told me when I was a child, if it is healthy, there will be no problem with this piece of jade."
After speaking, Dong Ping also pretended to poke into his sleeve, and took out the half of the jade pendant found in the basement of the Taishou Mansion a few days ago from the dimensional space, and looked at the two jade pendants in a daze, as if the depths of his soul had been touched.
Obviously, these two jade pendants are one!
I couldn't believe that my "father-in-law" could be that kind of person! Dong Ping's voice was full of anger and hatred.
However, the hatred was not thorough enough, as if there was still a trace of unbearability, and there was also a lack of a violent emotion!
Although I haven't seen my parents in this world, the feeling of family affection in my heart is inseparable.
Since the loss of the jade pendant, Cheng Wanli also guessed something, and gradually began to alienate Dong Ping, and the relationship between Dong Ping and Cheng Wan'er was also directly stopped, and Cheng Wanli's relationship with Dong Ping became worse and worse since then.
With the investigation of the past two years, Dong Ping gradually learned the truth of the year, that it was someone who led troops to invade Shangdang County in Hedong, and his parents would be killed!
Because this man failed to suppress the bandits, he came to kill Liang and risked his merits, and more than 1,000 families outside the city were killed by this person, and his parents were among them!
Originally, when he saw the half of the jade pendant in Cheng Wan'er's hand a few years ago, he was a little suspicious, but then Cheng Wanli's attitude towards himself suddenly changed, which naturally fell in Dong Ping's eyes.
Now that there is the remaining half of the jade pendant that has been found in the past few days, things are even clearer.
Cheng Wan'er looked at Dong Ping, she didn't seem surprised that the other half of the jade pendant arrived, and the two of them still didn't say a word after a long time.
"Even after knowing so much, you still haven't left me." Dong Ping smiled, breaking the embarrassing situation, as if he was comforting himself: "There is still a trace of humanity in this world."
The corners of Cheng Wan'er's mouth moved, stood up and walked in front of Dong Ping.
"Brother Dong Ping, I said it a long time ago." Cheng Wan'er bent down to look at Dong Ping's eyes, her hands supported her knees, and a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes: "No matter what choice you make, I will be on your side."
Whatever the choice, can you afford this kind of thing? Dong Ping smiled bitterly in his heart.
"You...... Little Nizi. Dong Ping smiled, stood up and touched her head: "Okay, it's almost dawn now, you better go back first."
"Hmm!" Cheng Wan'er laughed, turned around and walked outside.
In a few moments, her figure disappeared at the end of the road.
Halfway up the mountainside, a blue firework rose up, diluting the darkness that was already dissipating a little.
"Looks like we're going to be busy next." A sneer crossed the corner of Dong Ping's mouth.
