Chapter 223: Remember, Your Promise.
I......
Where is this......
The girl raised her eyelids with difficulty, faintly feeling her body moving again, as if she was being carried behind by someone, and there was a rapid gasp and running footsteps in her ears, and not far away, the roar of the red demon was constantly approaching.
By...... Did you save it......
Slowly recalling the previous incident, he fell to the ground from exhaustion, Chu Luo'er didn't expect that he would be able to survive, and listening to the conversations of several people in his ears, he had a vague sense of familiarity.
"No, I'm going to be caught up!"
"If this continues, none of us will be able to escape!"
The man's anxious roar sounded, and there seemed to be a faint cry of a girl next to him, and the red demon behind him was getting closer and closer, and several people were extremely struggling.
"I'll stay, lure them away! You run separately, how many you can run, if you really can't run away, go and don't lure the monster to the side of the building! ”
As soon as the words fell, an ordinary boy from Perthvia resolutely turned around, without even giving the others time to hesitate, and frantically turned around and pounced on the monsters behind him, blocking their way, trying to buy precious escape time for the others.
However, in the face of the crazy red demon, he only delayed for less than three seconds, and was torn to pieces by those monsters in an instant, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere!
The rest fled in panic, and they split into three directions, two girls running into the tree-lined corridor with one man, while the Perthvia student with Chu Luoer on his back turned into a path with another man, and the others continued to run along the avenue.
Chu Luo'er could already faintly feel the student carrying her under him, full of tired rapid breathing, he was just an ordinary student, he had been running desperately with her on his back, and his physical strength had long been unable to support it, but behind him was a deadly monster, he couldn't stop, he didn't dare to stop, he could only run desperately.
But even though they had already fled separately, two red demons were chasing after them, and the other man heard the roar of the monster behind him, and his eyes were full of despair.
He doesn't want to die, he still has his wife and children waiting for him at home!
With the corner of his eye, he quietly looked at the boy next to him who was also running desperately and the girl behind him, and a trace of pain, guilt and longing for life flashed in the man's eyes.
"I'm sorry."
He slammed his elbow into the boy's shoulder, and the unsuspecting boy was knocked to the ground at once, his mind went blank, and he was completely stunned by this moment.
The girl's body also rolled to the ground, and Chu Luo'er tried hard to stand up, but her body didn't listen to her call at all, and she couldn't even lift up the slightest strength.
Hearing the sound of falling to the ground behind him, the man looked extremely guilty, and he ran desperately, but never looked back again.
Not everyone has the courage to selflessly sacrifice, and not everyone can repay the favor with virtue.
Chu Luo'er desperately saved him, and since he had clearly made up his mind, he chose to take the risk to find Chu Luo'er's figure, but at the most critical time, he chose to selfishly save his life.
The ant is still stealing his life, if he has even one more chance to live, he will not choose to use his life to save his benefactor's life, and then exchange the possibility of his own life.
He just wanted to live.
and to see his wife and children alive.
Didn't do anything wrong!
The man's guilty eyes faded away, and he heard the footsteps of the two monsters pause, getting farther and farther away from him, and he succeeded! He survived!
In addition to being excited, at the corner at the end of the road, he subconsciously turned his head, but he didn't see the imaginary hideous and bloody picture, but a slender white light, straight towards his door!
Poof!
The consciousness slowly dissipated, the man's body fell to the ground softly, and the moment he fell, he never understood why he had survived, but he felt that the whole world was gradually moving away......
At the center of his eyebrows, a white arrow of light pierced through and suddenly dissipated.
The girl lay on the ground weakly, and heard the roar of the red demon not far away, and the faint footsteps slowly approached, stopping behind her, she tried to turn around and see who it was, but she heard the whistling wind and snow, and a faint word sounded:
"Is it worth it?"
The young man's deep voice came into her ears clearly, making the girl slightly stunned.
"Fight everything, even your life, to save these irrelevant people...... Is it worth it? ”
Monitor?
Hearing that the person behind her turned out to be Jiang Gu's voice, Chu Luo'er was surprised, she wanted to speak, but found that she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth, it seemed that she had discovered this problem, the young man behind her smiled coldly, bent down, took out a tube of light red medicine from her pocket, and quickly injected it into the girl's body.
"Hmm!"
Chu Luo'er snorted, and suddenly felt that the weakness and numbness of her limbs had weakened a lot, and she finally had the strength to speak.
"Squad leader...... Thank you...... Saved me one more time. ”
"You don't have to thank me, I didn't plan to save you." Jiang Gu said lightly.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Chu Luo'er smiled reluctantly and said, "Squad leader...... You ask me...... This kind of problem...... Does it matter? ”
"Just now, the person you saved would rather exchange your life for him to live, can you bear this kind of behavior?" Jiang Gu's eyes were dark, and he asked expressionlessly.
"What if...... It's like that...... If you can sacrifice my life for them to live...... I'm willing to do that. The girl only hesitated for a moment, and then gave the answer.
"Stupid!" But at the moment when Chu Luo'er's words fell, Jiang Gu seemed to be suddenly enraged, he rushed forward and grabbed Chu Luo'er's neck and picked her up, staring at her with cold eyes, squeezing out the words from between his teeth.
"Your life is worth many times more than the ordinary people who will take revenge on Naen! You have nothing to do with those people, why should you give your life for them, you feel so selfless? Very virgin? Why are you willing to die generously for those irrelevant people?! ”
"Speak!"
The gloomy boy almost roared, his voice echoing in the narrow path in the cold and snowy night, and the boys on the side shrank in fright, trying to lower their presence.
Chu Luo'er grabbed Jiang Gu's wrist with a pale face, almost unable to breathe, but she still looked at the young man with those bloodshot eyes, and said with difficulty: "Squad leader...... This is...... What did you tell me...... Isn't it......"
Poof!
Chu Luo'er covered her throat and knelt on the ground, Jiang Gu lowered her head, her pupils continued to expand and shrink to look at her, the girl gasped, and muttered, "A long time ago...... My dad used to say to me......"
He said to me...... When someone I care about is in danger...... No matter how strong the enemy is...... I must stand in front of the people I care about...... No matter how weak it is...... No longer powerless...... I must protect them too! ”
"But...... No matter how hard I try...... But it was never possible...... I want to protect my little clothes...... I want to protect Sister Xiaobei...... I want to protect everyone in Perthvia......"
Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of the girl's eyes unconsciously, and she trembled and whimpered: "But I'm really useless...... What am I...... Nothing can be done...... I can only watch them leave me...... Watching those warriors die before my eyes......"
"I don't want to...... No more painful powerlessness! I want to protect everyone! I want to protect the people I care about! ”
"Even if it is...... Giving with your life...... I'm not sorry for it! ”
The girl closed her eyes slightly, tears rolled down her cheeks, dripping on the snow, and the hot tears blurred a snow stain.
"It's ...... My commitment. ”
Jiang Gu was silent, he stood in place, looking at the girl who knelt in front of him, and stopped for a long, long time.
The wind and snow were howling, and the young man suddenly shook his senses, and his eyes were complicated and muttered: "Promise...... ......"
In a trance, it seemed to be back to that scorching afternoon, the immature child held a wooden piece taller than others, tied his horse, sweating, and the slender figure who stood in the corridor for a long time hesitated, saw that there was no one else around, or stepped forward and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a wet handkerchief.
The cool feeling suddenly sobered up the child's tired spirit, and he looked at the gentle woman who was smiling softly at him in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise: "Grandma?!" ”
"Shh The woman hurriedly asked him to whisper and said, "Grandma is just passing by to see you, be quiet." ”
"Hmmm! Grandma, you're the best, hehe, I want to eat Grandma's mellow cake in the afternoon, can Grandma make it for me? The child nodded excitedly, looked at the woman, and asked with a happy face.
Such a request made the woman's brows frown slightly, which was not in line with the rules of the Jiang Mansion at all, but seeing the child's eyes full of longing and expectation, thinking that he would have to bear such a heavy pressure as a child like this, her heart softened, she gritted her teeth, and nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, when the child was ordered to read in the study until late at night, the woman quietly slipped into the study with a food box and came to the child's side.
"Ahh It's really a mellow cake! Mother-in-law! You're so nice, you're the best person I've ever been! The woman hurriedly covered the child's mouth, motioned him to be quiet, and watched helplessly and dotingly as he took small bites of pastries.
"Grandma, can you promise me one thing?"
"What?" The woman wondered.
"Can you ......," the child muttered, hesitantly, "all the time so good to me." ”
"Because except for Grandma...... No one would be so nice to me. ”
The woman was stunned, the child's request made her unexpected, as a servant of the Jiang family, she was not allowed to have too much intersection with the child, whether it was her identity or the rules, but ...... Looking at the child's eyes full of loneliness, thinking of her own long-dead child, she smiled helplessly.
"I promise you that I will always be good to you, always care for you, and love you."
"Grandma, I will always be by your side."
……
"Remember, your promise."
Jiang Gu gently put the paulownia box behind him in front of the girl, he ignored the girl's confused eyes, and said expressionlessly: "In my life, whether it is the past or the future, I will think about the family, but now, I want to be willful once." ”
"This thing, you're going to need it."
"Perhaps, only a stupid guy like you can exert its true power." The young man smiled coldly: "As for your weak body, whether it can withstand it, its baptism depends on your creation." ”
Chu Luo'er's eyes were blank, she slowly raised her hand, grabbed the paulownia box in front of her, and slowly opened it, and the bright white light overflowed from the gap, warming this dark and snowy night.
