Chapter 18: Is He Gone?
Lu Qingyu's heart suddenly became messy.
In the face of the ghost head knife of the man in black, she was indeed scared to death.
But the moment she nested in Hongyu's arms, she was inexplicably not afraid. I don't know why, she actually has an illusion of living and dying together!
Now that she heard him say these two words with great difficulty, her heart felt like it was boiling in hot oil, and it was difficult to distinguish the taste.
The surroundings were quiet, and from time to time there were a few chirping sounds of grass insects, accompanied by the dark night in the distance, as if they were in an endless wasteland.
The carriage moved, and in the dim light, Hongyu took her and slowly drove away from this terrible place.
The night was late, and the road was even more difficult to identify, and Lu Qingyu didn't know if they would get lost, let alone if they could get out of the way tonight.
But with Hongyu here, her heart is much more stable.
About two hours later, she faintly saw a village ahead, nestled at the foot of rolling green hills, with the occasional flash of light and the barking of dogs.
Her heart lit up, and she turned around Hongyu in surprise, "Hey, we've found a home." ”
Hongyu didn't say anything, only raised the whip and gently shook a beautiful whip flower.
Lu Qingyu was very impressed, and his voice trembled a little, "How did you find my family?" ”
Hongyu still didn't speak, but the hand around her waist was brought into his arms.
Lu Qingyu suddenly blessed his soul, "Do you remember the road?" ”
This time, Hongyu reacted, but he still didn't speak, but raised his other hand holding the whip and touched her head.
Qingyu was a little dazed: Is this praising her for being right?
Usually at home, she thinks Hongyu will touch his head if he behaves well, what is this guy doing?
When she was almost home, her mood was much lighter, and she saw that Hongyu seemed to be like this, so she also reached out and rubbed his head.
Who knew that this guy was still addicted, so he lowered his head and rubbed it into her palm, but she had to rub a few more handfuls patiently, rubbing his already unkempt hair like a chicken nest.
When they got home, there was still a glimmer of light in the hall, and Zheng was obviously waiting for them.
The two got out of the car, and untied the horse and led it into the yard, Qingyu went to the stove and picked up a bundle of hay to feed the horse, Zheng heard the movement, looked out of the window with an oil lamp, and saw that it was the two of them, and hurriedly opened the door of the hall and greeted it.
"Why did you come back?"
Qingyu hurriedly took the oil lamp and helped Zheng to walk into the house, and said, "Runshengtang's business is very hot, and I didn't finish reading it until I saw that it was dark, and the car that Hongyu was driving took a fork in the road......"
The first half of the sentence is a bit exaggerated, but the second half is true.
However, Zheng didn't think much about it, thinking that this was the case, and it was over after a few words of wrongdoing.
I asked them if they had eaten and wanted to cook for them, but they were stopped by Qingyu, "Mother, don't be busy, anyway, I won't go out tomorrow, I'll come by myself." ”
took out the silver taels that the shopkeeper Qin gave her and handed them to the Zheng family, Qingyu pretended to be happy and said, "When we have saved enough silver, we will also eat and drink spicy food." ”
Zheng also rejoiced, and was told by Qingyu that he went into the house to sleep.
Lu Qingyu found time to come to the stove room, and saw Hongyu sitting on the grass, looking at her with a pair of eyes fixedly.
"What the hell are you all about?" Qingyu squatted in front of her, stared at those delicate and pure eyes, and asked softly.
Hongyu shook his head, his lips opening and closing, but he didn't say anything.
Qingyu couldn't help sighing, and said helplessly, "You must not be a bad person, but your identity is too terrifying, if you are really a dead soldier as the man in black said, I am afraid that you will not be able to live in my house......"
As soon as the words fell, I saw that Hongyu's eyes changed, and a thick sadness welled up in his innocent and clean eyes, and in an instant, it turned into a river, almost never letting the clear rain drown in it.
"Don't look at me like that," she quickly opened her eyes, but finished her words ruthlessly, "You know, I still have a mother at home, and I can't stop thinking about it." ”
There are more than a dozen people chasing Hongyu tonight, all of them are fierce and vicious, and they are not good people at first glance. If he continues to live in her house, who knows if the master behind the scenes will chase him over?
When the time comes, will she and the Zheng family still be able to stand alone? Even if Hongyu has three heads and six arms, he can't ensure the safety of their mother and daughter, right?
She can't pin her hopes on a stranger she rescues!
The flashing "stranger" stung her deeply, but she had to admit that he was indeed a stranger to her, a stranger who had been together for just a few days.
Although he called her "sister", let her touch her head, and even saved her life, but this happened under his insufficiency, once he regained his mind one day, would he still recognize her as a "sister"? Will you still desperately protect her?
She didn't dare to ask for extravagance, she just wanted to keep the Zheng family living a peaceful and quiet life, and hide as far as she could for those who fought and killed!
Hongyu's eyes turned from sadness to calm, but it was only a momentary thing.
He lowered his head and stared at the ground, so that Qingyu couldn't figure out his thoughts.
And she didn't want to think about it. It's too much trouble to communicate with him, and instead of guessing, it's better to separate and be fine.
He has his life, and since she can't participate, stay away.
"Hungry, huh? I'll make you something to eat. In a moment, she got up and lit the fire and began to cook.
The fragrant bacon and soft glutinous rice are appetizing.
On weekdays, Hongyu will definitely be able to eat half of the pot.
But tonight, Lu Qingyu was indifferent until he put the food in his hand and stuffed it, as if this fragrant meal was not attractive to him at all.
"Why don't you eat it?" Qing Yuqiang smiled and handed him a pair of chopsticks, "It's nothing, there is no banquet in the world, it's time to leave at dawn after eating." ”
After saying that, she sighed faintly, had no appetite at all, and simply got up and went back to her room.
Lying on the bed tossing and turning like a pancake, she was obviously scared tonight, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
I don't know if Hongyu in the stove room has finished eating?
But he eats as much as a cow, so he will definitely finish such a fragrant meal, right?
Now that he can understand some of her words, the sadness in his eyes is not fake, tomorrow morning, he should go, right?
I don't want to think about it so much.
Lu Qingyu forced himself to empty the unhappiness in his mind and forced himself to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, but she fell asleep for a while, and when she woke up, there were already birds chirping on the branches, and the window paper was white.
She got up in a bit of a panic, pulled on her shoes and ran out.
In the stove room, the dilapidated wooden door is closed, and you can't see the scene inside.
She suddenly felt a little homesick, three steps away, and she didn't dare to step forward, for fear of pushing open the wooden door, and the scene inside made her unacceptable.
Seeing that Dongfang was showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, she gritted her teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to push open the crumbling broken door.
On the grass in front of the stove, the familiar figure has long been gone, and on the stove, in a black coarse porcelain bowl, snow-white rice and fragrant bacon are resting there decently, without moving.
I don't know how long Hongyu has been gone.
Lu Qingyu's tears fell from the ground.
