Chapter Seventy-One: I'll Carry It All for You
After accepting Jun Yisheng and the three as apprentices, Luo Fan suddenly remembered Qiao Sanniang, who had been left in the hall by him before. After explaining a few words to the three of them, his body moved, and he returned to the main hall in an instant.
"Sheng'er, where is Sanniang?" Luo Fan saw that there was only one Baili Sheng left in the main hall, and asked with some doubts.
Bai Lisheng saluted Luo Fan and said respectfully: "Master, the apprentice has already ordered the disciple to take the girl to the wing room to rest." ”
Luo Fan nodded, and then walked out of the main hall.
He wanted to go directly to Qiao Sanniang's room to find her, but after thinking about it, he went to the wine cellar first. From the cellar, he took two jars of Yuquan Liquor that he used to drink with Qiao Sanniang from time to time, and then walked to the wing.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
The sound of a gentle knock on the door pulled back the thoughts of Qiao Sanniang, who was sitting at the table in a daze.
"Who is it?" asked Qiao Sanniang.
"Me. Luo Fan only said this word lightly.
Qiao Sanniang's heart suddenly jumped up unhappily after hearing this simple word "I". Five years ago, he said goodbye, she knew that there would be no time for her to meet again, but she still had something to look forward to, but she didn't expect to meet again five years later, only to find that he had always been an impossible goal for her to pursue.
Luo Fan waited at the door for a while, and didn't hear any more movement in the house, and when he was thinking about whether to push the door open directly, the door opened with a "squeak", and Qiao Sanniang's slightly pale face came into his eyes.
"Why, I haven't seen you for a few years, and Sanniang doesn't plan to recognize me as an old friend?" Luo Fan shook the wine in his hand in front of Qiao Sanniang, and walked into the room with a big grin.
"Should I call you Sect Master Luo, or should I call you Old Ancestor?" Qiao Sanniang smiled bitterly and asked softly.
"Don't mind, the two of us were friends in trouble back then, and you still call me 'Brother Luo' to look kind! Come, come and have a drink with Brother Luo." Luo Fan greeted Qiao Sanniang with a smile, as if he didn't feel the complexity in Qiao Sanniang's heart at the moment.
Qiao Sanniang sighed in her heart, closed the door casually, walked to Luo Fan's side and sat down.
"It's ...... Yuquan brew?" Qiao Sanniang stared at the two jars of wine on the table, and asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, when you were in Shaoyang Town, didn't your wine cellar be full of this kind of wine? This wine is good, and I'm used to drinking it. Luo Fan smiled, casually lifted the lid of a jar of wine, and handed it directly to Qiao Sanniang.
Qiao Sanniang gritted her teeth, took the wine jar handed by Luo Fan, and poured a few big mouthfuls with her head up at the mouth of the altar.
"Heroic enough! This is the Qiao Sanniang I know!" Luo Fan praised, opened another jar of wine casually, and drank it from the jar like Qiao Sanniang.
Qiao Sanniang hasn't spoken since she took the wine, just stuffing her head and pouring herself hard. used to be in the small wine shop in Shaoyang Town, and the two sat together from time to time to drink and talk, but it seemed that those days would never come back.
It is difficult for people with hearts to get drunk when they drink, but after a jar of wine bottomed out, Qiao Sanniang suddenly felt a little top-heavy, and her heart was as hot as steamed buns in a drawer.
"Brother Luo......" Qiao Sanniang muttered, but her voice was so low that she couldn't even tell that it was her own voice, and there was a choked voice in the voice, and at the same time, something wet in her eyes was about to overflow uncontrollably.
Luo Fan sighed in his heart, he knew Qiao Sanniang's heart for him, he always knew it. But he already had a person in his heart, and when he lost that person, he was so painful that he wanted to die immediately. He had spent his days wandering the land of fireworks, trying to numb his thoughts of the man by indulging himself.
But thousands of years have passed, and longing seems to have become a habit, there are many women passing by him, but the only one who can make him remember is Qiao Sanniang. It's a pity that he can't give her the affection she wants.
In Luo Fan's eyes, Qiao Sanniang is a friend and confidant who can make friends, and a girl who can be loved by him, but it will not be the lover who can occupy his entire heart.
"Silly girl, cry if you want to. Drinking alcohol and holding back sad things in your heart is not good for your body. Luo Fan stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hair that was a little scattered on Qiao Sanniang's cheeks, and said in a soft voice.
"Brother Luo...... I'm fine, but I didn't think I would have the opportunity to sit and drink with Brother Luo, and I was just excited. Qiao Sanniang stretched out her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and pulled out a smile very reluctantly.
"You might as well cry when you're laughing!" Luo Fan quipped, and after a pause, he asked again, "Speaking of which, why did you come here? Wan'an City is not close to Shaoyang Town. ”
Qiao Sanniang couldn't help but glance at Luo Fan: "You're embarrassed to say it." On my birthday, I didn't wait for you all night, and I knew that you would never return to Shaoyang Town. I'm a rootless person, and I don't have any friends, and I'm just hurting if I stay in that wine shop after you're gone. I simply lived the life of wandering on the rivers and lakes many years ago. You, the Slaying Luo Sect, have had a great reputation in the market in the past two years, so I thought I would try it to see if I could improve my martial arts again. ”
Hearing Qiao Sanniang mention that year's birthday, Luo Fan's heart was mixed. The day of Qiao Sanniang's birthday five years ago was also the day of the extinction of the painting clan. He saw with his own eyes the appearance of Danqing Valley's corpses all over the place, and hatred had already filled his whole mind, where would he still remember Qiao Sanniang's birthday.
However, Qiao Sanniang didn't know all this, if she knew that her birthday was the death day of the Luo Fan people, she would definitely not mention it.
Luo Fan knew that he would never be able to accompany Qiao Sanniang for her birthday, but he was also very guilty, guilty that he had promised her, but there was no way to do it.
"Sanniang, it's better for you to stay in the Luo Sect, I see that at your age, I am afraid that you will not be able to marry in this life. It's better to stay and continue to be your chivalrous heroine. If you encounter someone who can't be beaten, I will kill Luo Zong to stand up for you. After a long silence, Luo Fan finally opened his mouth, although the words he said sounded quite bad, but it was all he could give her. He can't accompany her birthday, he can't give her feelings, he can only protect her in his lifetime.
Qiao Sanniang is also a thoughtful woman, she specifically mentioned that he released his pigeon on his birthday five years ago, but he avoided mentioning it, and didn't even say a word of apology, which can only show that something very sudden happened that day, maybe that incident is something Luo Fan himself does not want to think about. That's why he asked himself to stay, which can be regarded as an apology in disguise.
"It's not all your fault that I can't get married, you say all day long that no one wants me, and you say that my marriage is gone. Even if you don't keep me this time, I'll have to make you responsible. But if I get into trouble outside in the future, you have to bear it for me!" Qiao Sanniang glanced at Luo Fan and said jokingly.
"Okay, for your sake, no matter what trouble you cause, I'll bear it for you!" Luo Fan smiled indifferently. In this world, in addition to the person he lost thousands of years ago, and the painting clan that he couldn't save five years ago, what other "disasters" can be regarded as unbearable for him......
