Chapter 198: Straightforward
The two followed the stone forest, walking in the opposite direction to the white mist, and after walking for a while, Chen Tongsheng slowly stopped, looking at the scene in front of him in a daze.
The stone forest extends out of the ground.
In front of them was a barren wasteland of rocks and sand, and the stone forest stood abruptly and erected several columns among the rocks, and then formed a long and winding line like a line.
Chen Tongsheng looked at the stone pillars beside him, and the more he walked in this direction, the more he could see that those stone pillars retained their human form to a greater extent, and he could even identify the direction in which their hands were pointing when they were dying.
At the end of the columns, at a glance, it was almost as if two people were standing at the end of the stone forest, turning into rough stone statues, and the direction in which their bodies leaned was diametrically opposed to the long stone forest procession, facing the rocky yellow sand wasteland.
Chen Tongsheng walked in the direction they were leaning, bypassed several boulders, and stepped on a very soft piece of sand under the cover of the boulders.
Song Chuanbai obviously noticed it as well, and reminded: "Be careful." ”
They glanced at each other, and Song Chuanbai suddenly said, "Huh? With a sigh, he then raised his foot to rub a piece of sand in front of him, grinding away the floating sand on the surface, Song Chuanbai picked up his robe and squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch the exposed ground.
Chen Tongsheng looked at it strangely, and before she could also squat down, he raised his head as if Song Chuanbai had found something, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you still remember, the priest said that you should go to the secret passage of the main hall?" ”
"Did you hear that? How did you hear that? ”
Chen Tongsheng frowned strangely, it stands to reason that when Chen Xinlan died in the imperial study, Song Chuanbai was left outside, and he himself was still panting half-dead, how could he hear what Chen Xinlan said to her inside?
Song Chuanbai's face was pale, he lowered his head to wipe the floating soil on the ground, and replied, "I've been there." ”
As soon as he said this, Chen Tongsheng understood, just like Chen Tongsheng saw Song Chuanbai's past in the illusion, when she was also an invisible ghost, running around with the characters in the illusion. Including the little noble Chen Tongsheng in the illusion of the collapse of the imperial city of the Northern Dynasty at the end, he is also the real young Chen Tongsheng himself.
This is a reproduction of Chen Tongsheng's memories, and Chen Tongsheng and Song Chuanbai as adults actually experienced this terrifying nightmare from the perspective of a bystander.
She nodded and asked, "What's wrong with the secret path?" ”
Song Chuanbai motioned for her to squat down and look at the ground in front of her, and when Chen Tongsheng stretched out his hand, Song Chuanbai raised his hand to make room for her.
Who knew that Chen Tongsheng moved very fast, and he held down Song Chuanbai's hand, the palms of the two overlapped, Chen Tongsheng leaned forward, looked directly at Song Chuanbai's eyes, and said, "Hou Ye has nothing to say to his savior?" ”
Song Chuanbai was obviously surprised by Chen Tongsheng's actions, and he rarely showed a smile at this time. Song Chuanbai's expression was very serious, his lips that were white because of lack of water pursed into a straight line, looked at Chen Tongsheng, and said softly: "I owe you." ”
"And then?"
At this time, there is really nothing to say, what to say? Apologize?
After experiencing such a tragic scene and such a terrible accident, both parties completely forgot about these things, Song Chuanbai even laughed at her stammering, but once the past happened, when the two met, just one word of apology was really light, and even the person who had to apologize when he said it felt shameful.
Chen Tongsheng saved Song Chuanbai's life, and then in order to save him, she involved her biological mother again and killed Chen Xinlan, but as long as Song Chuanbai found out Chen Tongsheng's kindness in saving his life at that time, it also means that Chen Tongsheng's behavior of killing his mother was affirmed.
These are all facts, but they are not intentional, it is not that they dare not face it, but they are afraid to mention it in front of her.
What did Chen Tongsheng think in his heart?
When the two of them just entered the illusion of the Northern Dynasties, they were still a little nobleman and an attendant, Chen Tongsheng was still very disdainful of this mother, and her emotions were more or less affected by the period of the little nobleman.
In the eyes of the young nobleman, Chen Xinlan is disgusted, and he also dislikes Chen Xinlan, the mother and daughter look at each other and hate each other, as if they have made a feud.
However, at the last moment, Chen Xinlan showed the appearance of a mother, came to Chen Tongsheng through the white mist, and protected her with his life.
This is an indigestible impact for anyone, and the young Chen Tongsheng lost the ability to speak on the spot under such a huge blow.
When you see such a scene again when you grow up, can you be relieved, and you will be able to have no waves?
Song Chuanbai's eyebrows condensed with firm determination, and between his frowning brows was a mixture of guilt and sympathy: "No matter what you want to do in the future, it doesn't matter if you seek revenge against Yu Su, stay here to explore what ......happened in the Northern Dynasty back then."
His words stopped suddenly, and Chen Tongsheng's other free hand was attached to him, not touching him, but it was close at hand, and Song Chuanbai subconsciously stopped talking and looked at her.
Chen Tongsheng said with a smile: "It's really rare for Hou Ye to look serious and competent. What I'm going to do, you're going to help me do, aren't you? Could it be that I want to stay here and eat sand and eat for the rest of my life, guarding the tomb of my people, and you will not stay here with me? It's a sincere heart, but who wants to hear that from you? ”
Song Chuanbai sensed that something would come out of her mouth next, and as soon as her eyelids were raised, she stepped back, but Chen Tongsheng held her shoulder with one hand and said, "Hey, what are you running?" ”
"Where do I run......
"If you don't run, what are you going to retreat?"
Chen Tongsheng looked at Song Chuanbai as if he was facing a great enemy, whether it was Song Chuanbai's cautious expression at the beginning, or his later serious thinking and promises, it made Chen Tongsheng feel very interesting. Song Chuanbai rarely has such a look, he has his own calculations for most affairs, cunning and cold, and politely maintains his cold politeness.
His gentleness is restrained and self-contained, revealing to soothe others, but never to retort against himself. No matter how Chen Tongsheng used to play a straight ball, he had already written the words "Hou Ye I like you" on his face, and he could pretend not to see it. This person has rules and feelings, but he is never willing to step out of the rules he has constructed, and he is not willing to let others go through this rule and approach him. After so many years, Song Chuanbai seems to have become very tolerant and safe, but in fact, the arrogance and arrogance of his youth are still there. He is essentially like this, willing to be lonely and lonely, looking down on outsiders, and not teaching anyone to enter his heart.
Chen Tongsheng was in front of him, and there had never been much chance to pry his alienation into it, but at this moment, she suddenly found that more things had happened between the two.
Song Chuanbai owes her twice for saving her life, which allows Chen Tongsheng to grasp the shortcomings, as long as he still adheres to morality in his heart, he will never ignore her like he did directly.
Chen Tongsheng tilted his head and asked, "I'm really curious, doesn't Master Hou like a beautiful face?" ”
Song Chuanbai still had to lean back, and when he heard it, he asked rhetorically: "What?" ”
"Am I not pretty? Hou Ye didn't have any excitement at all, I really didn't understand Hou Ye's request. Chen Tongsheng stretched out his fingers to count them one by one: "You see, I am beautiful, I can fight, I am smart, and I am still old, I am a person five hundred years ago, I can be described as a demon with a long life, but my appearance is very young, which can not only meet the saying that the female junior holds gold bricks, and the family has an old man like a treasure, but also meets the requirements of being young and beautiful." Although he doesn't read much, he is not illiterate after all, and he can read and play chess. Master Hou, what else do you not like? ”
"....." Song Chuanbai had long known that she wanted such an expression, and was speechless for a while, before he said: "No one who comes to my house to be a matchmaker can say anything better than you." ”
"That's the people they want to recommend, and none of them are as good as me." Chen Tongsheng was very confident and asked, "What do you look down on?" ”
"Not ......"
"I like Hou Ye very much," Chen Tongsheng said bluntly, she recovered her memory, and the bastard of the little nobleman of the Northern Dynasty came back: "I like the appearance of Hou Ye, I like Hou Ye to do things and talk, and I like Hou Ye as a person." I was happy when I looked at Hou Ye. ”
Chen Tongsheng asked, "What about you?" ”
Song Chuanbai widened the distance between him and her, moved his arm, but failed to pull his hand out from under Chen Tongsheng's palm, so he had to say: "Thanks to the wrong love, Ben Hou doesn't have this thought." ”
Chen Tongsheng approached again: "What is Hou Ye's mind?" ”
For some reason, under Chen Tongsheng's successive questioning, Song Chuanbai seemed to show a little embarrassed, the lines of his face tightened, he turned his face slightly sideways, and endured not to be tough and pulled out.
Chen Tongsheng stared at the bridge of his nose, which was particularly straight because of his side face, and the tail of his eyes and long eyelashes like flying feathers, and he was happy.
Therefore, it is impossible to talk about people without weaknesses, and Song Chuanbai's self-control is a big weakness of his, which makes him angry with Chen Tongsheng, and he will definitely not be able to do it at this time.
Maybe Song Chuanbai didn't notice that he was more concerned about Chen Tongsheng's emotions than Chen Tongsheng himself at the moment.
Thinking about it, during the time that Song Chuanbai left Mitiansi, when he was the female emperor eagle dog, no one could get close to him to this point.
Whether it was the singers and dancers he recruited for entertainment, or the rest of the women who had a good relationship with him, they all entered the realm he specified if Song Chuanbai was willing to do so. There will be no one like Chen Tongsheng who is so aggressive with a salivating face, and occupies the moral high ground, it is not good for people to refuse directly, it is not good to ignore it, and it is even worse to directly joke and agree, and it is impossible to get out with dignity for a while.
"Hiss," Chen Tongsheng swiped and said, under Song Chuanbai's gaze: "Master Hou, you look like this, I am bullying you like a hooligan." ”
