Gentleman: Seven

The call in his ears was cordial and enthusiastic, but when Xiao Tong heard it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Wen Xi laughing and running towards him, followed by the tall brother Huaqiang.

Xiao Tong laughed dryly, and in the past, he pulled up Wen Xi's sleeve and was about to go outside, but he moved fast, and still couldn't catch up with Wen Xi's mouth, when he went out, Wen Xi saw Zong Luo beside Xiao Tong, like all the times before, the words were not brains, and he said quickly: "Xiao Tongzi, Xiao Tongzi, isn't this woman the one who saved us last time?" Aren't you still looking forward to repaying others for saving your life? ”

Xiao Tong's steps stiffened, pushing and shoving and shoving to pull Wen Xi out of the door, but as soon as he stepped out of the door with one foot, he heard Zong Luo's voice in his ear, and asked Xiao Tong, "What do you promise?" ”

Listening to the voice in his ears, Xiao Tong felt that the words were full of harshness, like a student who made a mistake was caught by Mr. Teaching, trying to show piety on the outside, but panicking on the inside.

Wen Xi's mouth has always been a hundred times faster than his brain, and he opened his mouth and said, "Just a year ago, we, I...... I ......"

The words that came to his mouth were blocked by a piece of pastry that Xiao Tong was carrying in his hand, Xiao Tong looked back at Zong Luo, his face was calm, he smiled, and said softly: "I'll tell you." ”

Zong Luo's face was not good, but there were many people in the inn, so he hooked his finger towards Xiao Tong, turned around, and went back to the room.

Xiao Tong hung his head and followed honestly, and when he went up the stairs and passed by Hua Qiang, he was patted on the shoulder, giving him great encouragement.

Wen Xi, who was still standing at the door, swallowed the osmanthus cake in his mouth, and asked his husband with a slightly sympathetic face, "Brother Shrimp, what's wrong with Xiao Tongzi?" ”

"Nothing." Hua Qiang raised his eyebrows, "Maybe it's time to make a promise." ”

Entering the room, the air was heavy, as if the sound of shoes stepping on the floor was particularly noisy, Zong Luo went to the edge of the bed and sat down, wrapped his two arms around his chest and hugged them, the index finger of his right hand gently tapped his arm rhythmically, stared at Xiao Tong for a moment, and then asked, "How many things are you still hiding from me?" ”

Xiao Tong was very honest, "Not much." ”

Zong Luo raised his chin, "Tell me." ”

Xiao Tong moved his steps, sat on the other end of the bed, and explained: "A year ago, Sister Wen Xi had to pull me down the mountain to hoe the strong and help the weak, and I happened to meet a group of bullies bullying the villagers on the road, Sister Wen Xi rushed up without saying a word, but her knife skills, comparing and selling arts, were okay, and if she really fought in real combat, she would lose in one move, so the two of us were arrested by the bullies together with those villagers. ”

Zong Luo glanced at Xiao Tong and frowned slightly, Xiao Tong knew that she was reminiscing, and she was also suspicious, so she continued: "I originally wanted to reason with that bully, but before I could speak, I was arrested, and before I could do anything, you killed you and saved everyone." ”

"Among the villagers, there is a child who has just finished term?" Zong Luo seemed to remember something, so he asked Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong nodded and said: "After those bullies were defeated, there was a madman who actually grabbed a child and used the child as a shield to block the sword and avoid the sword, in order to save the child, you chased the bully for several miles of mountain roads, and was stabbed in the shoulder, and when you came back with the child, your clothes were stained red with blood." Saying that, Xiao Tong looked at Zong Luo, and his eyebrows were a little distressed.

Zong Luo also remembered it, and suddenly realized, "At that time, I brought a few new guys to the dart game, and their kung fu eyesight was average, and they could only barely fight with those bullies, but when I returned, all those bullies were blocked by a sword, but your handwriting? ”

Xiao Tong nodded.

Zong Luo was puzzled, "Why did you hide later?" ”

Xiao Tong sighed, looked at the figure lying at the door at this time, eavesdropping on the door and window, and said helplessly: "I didn't hide, I was dragged away, Sister Wen Xi said that being a hero has to be elusive to be mysterious." ”

“……”

Seeing that the figure crawling on the door seemed to have been forcibly dragged away, Zong Luo suddenly realized: "No wonder when I saw you for the first time, I felt a little familiar, and you even said that you hadn't seen it." ”

Xiao Tong squinted his eyes and smiled, sat closer to Zong Luo, and muttered: "Being tied up and beaten by others when we met for the first time is not a glorious thing after all. ”

Zong Luo had a little smile in his eyes, and said jokingly to Xiao Tong: "I heard, do you want to make a promise?" ”

Xiao Tong's face turned red, "It's just a joke, I'm naturally a reserved person." ”

"I think it's a good idea."

“……”

After staying in Xinliang for a day, when he was packing up and preparing to return the next day, Xiao Tong went to the door first to take a look, and when he saw that the girl who had a headache was not there, he breathed a sigh of relief and called Zong Luo to get into the carriage and prepare to leave.

Who knows, the sky is not as good as people, and people are not as good as not, Xiao Tong thought that he had given a hint last night, and Brother Huaqiang might probably have seen the straightforward woman in his family, who knew that when he arrived at the gate of Xinliang City, he saw Sister Wen Xi with tears in her eyes, standing there to see them off.

Xiao Tong raised his eyes and saw Brother Huaqiang shrugging his shoulders at him, looking helpless, and seeing Sister Wen Xi's rare gentle and loving gaze, Xiao Tong also felt that he seemed to be a little affectionate, although most of the time before, Sister Wen Xi's mess was cleaned up by him, but after all, the two of them grew up together, and there was still a lifelong friendship, since Sister Wen Xi got married, the two of them had less time to meet, and it was common sense for her to think about him, Sister Wen Xi had his younger brother in her heart, and he even avoided it, This made Xiao Tong feel a little guilty for a moment.

It turned out that Xiao Tong's guilt only existed for a moment, because Wen Xi wiped his tears and opened his mouth to say something that made Xiao Tong tremble.

"Brother Axiao and I came back from the border and went to Qingyunling to look for you, Aunt Yu said that you went to ask for a daughter-in-law, and we inquired and went to Qingzhou, and went to find the shopkeeper Liu who sold jewelry in your shop, and he said that you asked him to transport five ......"

Most of the time, Xiao Tong thinks he is a gentleman, thinking that a gentleman must be generous, calm, humble and reasonable, and his behavior must not be rude, nor can he be arrogant with the girl, but Wen Xi said half of this, but Xiao Tong suddenly stepped forward and gagged his mouth with his hand.

Wen Xi blinked at Xiao Tong with a pair of innocent eyes, thinking carefully that she had never caused any trouble, why Xiao Tongzi, who had always been calm and calm, had lost her square inch like this.

Hua Qiang on the side noticed something, and for the first time, he was a little rude and dragged his confused and nervous wife away. Wen Xi was a little angry, holding her husband's hand and said puzzledly: "Brother Shrimp, what are you pulling me for?" I haven't finished talking to Kiriko yet. But no matter what she said, her voice was always getting farther and farther away, Xiao Tong couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for herself.

Turning around, Xiao Tong wanted to explain something to Sister Zongluo, but when he turned around, he saw that her face was as usual, as if she didn't notice, and went straight back to the carriage without saying a word.

Xiao Tong felt that something was abnormal, Sister Zongluo was no better than Wen Xi, but if there were some clues, she would definitely not be able to deceive her.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Tong sat beside Zong Luo, and as the wheels of the carriage turned, making a rustling sound, the carriage began to move forward slowly.

The slender fingers buttoned the hem of the sleeves, Xiao Tong sorted out the words, and was just about to open his mouth to confess something, but his chest suddenly tightened, and a slightly calloused little hand grabbed the collar, and then his body leaned forward involuntarily, and his mouth was attached to two soft and warm lips.

Xiao Tong's body stiffened, and then a red cloud rose on his cheeks, a little hot, after receiving a sudden kiss, without waiting for the person in front of him to retreat, Xiao Tong quickly made a move, and held the girl who filled his heart tightly in his arms, deepening the kiss.

After a long time, perceiving the struggle of the person in his arms, Xiao Tong loosened his arms a little, but still held them, and put his chin against Zong Luo's hair, with a hint of nasality and a subtle coquettishness: "You don't blame me?" ”

Zong Luo has a bit of masculinity in her temperament, and she is inevitably straightforward when she speaks, "I thought that this marriage that I forced was because I hurt unrequited love." ”

Xiao Tong sneered, and couldn't help laughing, but this laugh caused him to be pinched hard in the waist, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that you hurt unrequited love, it's that I've been thinking about you Xiao for a long time." ”

"When?"

"First meeting."

"I'm asking, when is the trap set?"

was so directly revealed, Xiao Tong's heart was empty for a moment, and it was a little difficult to speak.

"Is it my eldest brother who brought you back from the official road?"

Xiao Tong shook his head.

Zong Luo got up, touched the pumpkin hammer on the side and rubbed it in his hand, lowered his head and didn't look at Xiao Tong, but said with a smile: "Good ~ but let's hear it." ”

Xiao Tong broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and couldn't help but sit upright, the corners of his lips twitched, and said with a dry smile: "From, starting from the first dart of the Golden Autumn Dart Bureau to pick up the shopkeeper Liu." ”

Zong Luo opened her mouth, a little speechless in shock, after she had just taken the Golden Autumn Dart Bureau from several uncles in the clan, those so-called relatives who had the same blood as her, in order to retaliate against her, spread unfavorable news about the Golden Autumn Dart Bureau everywhere, and lobbied many shops and wealthy families in Qingzhou not to do her Golden Autumn Dart Bureau business. After such a suppression, the Golden Autumn Dart Bureau was declining, and when the business was bleak and difficult, a wealthy businessman in Qingzhou, Liu Shopkeeper, found her and asked the Golden Autumn Dart Bureau to transport a piece of jewelry to a town hundreds of miles away.

In this way, Liu shopkeeper knocked on the door of the Golden Autumn Dart Bureau with the first brick, and in the days that followed, one after another, there began to be other businessmen and rich people in Qingzhou looking for her to deliver the goods, every time she completed it with great care, and finally lived up to her painstaking efforts, and her father and mother's Golden Autumn Dart Bureau, after experiencing the trough, slowly grew up.

Zong Luo thought that in addition to her efforts, all this was favored by God, but she didn't expect that it was her future husband who favored her. Thinking about it, maybe everything she worked was just a charity from him, and when she thought about it, Zong Luo inevitably felt a little lost.

"Actually." Xiao Tong leaned forward, "Actually, I just opened the door for you, and everything after that was the result of your own efforts." ”

Zong Luo smiled bitterly, "I have a thin life since I was a child, and I thought that God began to pity me?" ”

Xiao Tong felt sorry for him, and lowered his head and kissed his lover's forehead.

"Let us meet each other, it is God's favor."
