Chapter 52: Dawn Looks at the Sky and Looks at the Clouds at Dusk
"It turns out that this is a story of a hero saving beauty." Yu Xiaohuan muttered quietly.
"No, it's also the story of a beautiful woman saving a hero." Wu Niang retorted, and continued: "He is injured, and the blood dripping from the iron sword is his." When I was caught by him, I kept holding on to his arm, which was where he was injured, and he must have died of pain, but he didn't say a word.
I did not dare to take him back to the village, fearing that the villagers would be angry with him because of their prejudice against me, and that they would betray him because they were afraid of the bandits, so I took him to a hunter's house in the mountains to recuperate.
Although I didn't study medicine, I was able to learn about the uses of some herbs because I had been in the mountains all year round, so I treated him.
During those days, we got along day and night, and the time was quiet and beautiful. It was the happiest time I've ever had in my life. ”
The corners of Wu Niang's mouth were outlined with a happy smile by memories, like a simple little girl, who had just touched love, full of joy, and her eyes were full of only simple beauty and simple happiness.
Yu Xiaohuan sighed secretly: A woman who is just beginning to fall in love, how could she think of any cruelty of reality! Then he said sharply: "In the end, he is not gone. ”
Wu Niang glared at Yu Xiaohuan again, there was some annoyance in her eyes, without the slightest sadness, and retorted: "It's not what you think!" ”
"I didn't think about anything." Yu Xiaohuan replied in seconds.
"Do you still want to hear it?" Wu Niang shouted.
Yu Xiaohuan was helpless, so she had to smile and say, "I want to, you continue." ”
Wu Niang continued: "During the time we got along in the hunting house, after we got acquainted with each other for a few days, we became talkative. He told me about the outside world, and I told him what happened to me. I envy his ease and ease, and he sympathizes with my plight.
Later, he said that he was going to continue his journey, and before leaving, he wanted to teach me some kung fu for my self-defense, so that I would not have to be afraid of being bullied in the future.
I knew that he was a man with a mission, and I didn't dare to delay him, so I didn't keep him, but in the last few days, I worked very hard to learn the kung fu he taught me. I just want him to know that no matter where he is in the future, when he thinks of me, he can be relieved and relieved, because, with his help, I am no longer the girl who waits for the mercy and protection of others.
Momoxin, I owe you something. ”
Wu Niang suddenly turned to this sentence, and Yu Xiaohuan looked confused. "What do you mean?"
Wu Niang's eyes became a little fluttery. "That day, I went back to the village with the intention of getting him some dry food to take on the road. Before leaving, you suddenly appeared and asked me what I was going to do, and if you could go with me. But I was afraid that he would not wait for me when it was too late, so I ignored you and did not want to take you with me, after all, this is my farewell to him.
But when I said goodbye to him and came back, you were gone. No one in the whole village knows where you went, and no one has died or seen a body since. There was a long silence before she added, "It's good that you're back now." ”
Yu Xiaohuan didn't respond well, after all, she wasn't really Taoxin, did Taoxin blame Wu Niang, she really couldn't feel it.
The silent atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Yu Xiaohuan didn't like this atmosphere, so she continued to gossip and asked: "So, since then, you have lost your lover and friends, so you opened an inn in this place where birds don't." ”
"Birds don't? You're blind! Wu Niang shouted, "Look at this roof, this yard, where is not bird poop?" ”
Well, Yu Xiaohuan was speechless for a moment, and for the first time in her life, she didn't speculate on a woman she thought was good.
"I mean, there's no guest here." Yu Xiaohuan explained helplessly.
Wu Niang choked again: "No one, no one, what do you say about birds, people are flying in the sky, what's in your way?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, people don't get in my way, it's me who gets in the way." After Yu Xiaohuan finished speaking, she immediately changed the topic, "Then have you earned back the cost of opening a store?" ”
"What is cost?" Wu Niang looked fearless and ignorant, "Why should I think so much, it's enough for me to think of Yan Thirteen in my head." ”
Yu Xiaohuan almost threw up.
"You're just ...... Makes sense! Yu Xiaohuan originally wanted to diss that she was a love brain, but then she thought that she shouldn't understand the word love brain, and she didn't want to dwell on it, so she changed her rhetoric halfway.
Wu Niang looked well deserved, and said proudly: "Of course." ”
knew that there shouldn't be any pot that shouldn't be opened, but Yu Xiaohuan couldn't help but ask: "Those five years have passed, has your Yan 13 ever come back?" ”
Wu Niang's gaze dimmed instantly, like a shining star on the horizon suddenly falling, but soon rose again. "He'll be back," she said hopefully. He said he would come back to me when he had completed his mission. I believe in Him. ”
A good "I believe in him", concise and to the point, but deep and meaningful, Yu Xiaohuan's heart was touched, "Therefore, you often sit on this roof and watch the direction of his departure, looking forward to the day when he gallops on a tall horse like when he first appeared." ”
This seems to be the same as the sentence "Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk", it turns out that she is not the protagonist! Yu Xiaohuan complained bitterly in her heart.
"No, he's still wearing the bamboo hat I gave him." The corners of Wu Niang's mouth flashed with a longing smile.
"Five years have passed, won't it be broken?" Yu Xiaohuan muttered quietly.
"What are you muttering?" Wu Niang turned back vigilantly.
"Oh, I say, what are you going to do if he doesn't come back?" Wu Niang is her meal ticket, and she can't afford to mess with her, so she won't tell the truth.
"You're a sight to behold!" Wu Niang was a little annoyed, but quickly looked away again, "Anyway, I will keep waiting, no matter if he comes back or not." ”
It turns out that this love brain has been around since ancient times, no wonder!
Yu Xiaohuan wanted to persuade Wu Niang not to hang herself on a tree, but she thought that she couldn't even persuade herself, so how could she worry about other people's affairs, so she gave up.
Preparing to go down from the roof, Wu Niang suddenly turned around and said with a serious face: "I think, you should go home to see your family, I haven't seen you for a few years, they are very worried about you." ”
Yu Xiaohuan resisted and shouted: Don't, I'm just an impostor, and I won't stay here for too long, can I wait for me to leave and then let the real Taoxin deal with it?
She asked aggrievedly, "Do you dislike me?" ”
"How so?" Wu Niang immediately denied it.
"Then why did you drive me away?" Yu Xiaohuan said pitifully, "You also know that the villagers are ignorant, and even people like you who have never done anything wrong are spurned by them, I have been imprisoned by bandits for five years, where can I still have a foothold when I go back?" ”
