Chapter 22: A Chance Encounter with Flowers
The rain was pouring down, but it was last night's nightmare; The love road is cloudy, but people's hearts are easy to be cold.
As soon as the sky was bright in the early morning, several people immediately packed their bags and went on the road, facing the coolness in the breeze to start a new journey, no one could imagine where the sullen herring fish would go at this time.
"Blue Dust, let's not go back." These words were like nails, nailed to Lan Chen's heart, he knew that it was difficult to change what Qingyu decided, and he was just a servant, so he just nodded and continued to move forward without speaking.
Although Yu Gu thought that the herring fish would stay, but when the herring fish really announced, he still didn't have a little joy in his heart, he didn't know what would happen along the way, no one knew which decision would be right, which decision would be fatal, limited to the cognition and environment at the time, making a decision that was reasonable may also be regretted in the future, everything is unknown!
"I respect your decision, you have your considerations, but you have to understand that if you choose to go with me, it means that you and at least one faction of the royal people in Nandu are enemies, is this what you want?" Yu Gu knew that he shouldn't force Qingyu at this time, making a choice was a painful thing, and it was when several options were equally important.
The herring stopped and stood in the light of the horizon, with the slowly rising red sun behind him, and his face looked beautiful under the light of the halo.
"I didn't choose who to be the enemy with, my relatives will always be my relatives and will never change." Qingyu said categorically, the firmness in his eyes was like a firm belief that the sun would rise.
Life is never a choice of two, or a choice of one, there is always a way to return to one, this is what Qingyu has always believed, and will always believe.
Some people believe in family affection because family affection lasts the longest and is the most stable; Some people believe in love, love is like a summer flower, and the story of Fengyue is always circulated; Some people believe in gods, the unknown is what people have always feared, and the one-way payment of spiritual sustenance will also be a comfort; And the herring fish believes that as long as you believe, as long as you are firm, everything will come true!
The plan was to rush to the next inn before noon, but the chaos of last night, a few people had no time to take care of the carriage outside the inn, the rain was pouring down, the black horse fled, and a few people could only walk to the next station.
After a few hours, the rain on the ground was already wet by the mist baked by the scorching sun in the sky, and the humidity and heat were unbearable, and large drops of sweat came out of the forehead, as if contributing to the circulation of water vapor between heaven and earth.
Ge Luo was already exhausted, although he was not pampered, but he was really not strong on his feet, Yu Li saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help, the two of them had become friends along the way, and asked cordially, "Ge Luo, hold on for a while, we will march towards the ancient tree in our hearts." ”
Ge Luo was amused by Yu Li's gesture to quench Mei's thirst, his face became pale due to a lot of sweating, and the smile he squeezed out was considered a luxury, "Thank you, you go and see Gu Bai, I don't know what happened to his wound." ”
Yu Li looked up at Gu Bai on horseback, fluttering back and forth like a wicker that had been blown by the wind. Gu Bai's weakness made him unable to control his body, and he could only rely on Lan Chen to lead the horse in front and try his best to maintain his balance, so that he could barely fall off the horse's back.
"Don't worry about him, it's all skin injuries, it'll be fine in a few days, that folk Langzhong prescribed him a lot of medicine, don't worry, this guy can't die." Yu Li wasn't joking, Gu Bai didn't leave any internal injuries after fighting with that group of people, and he surrendered at a critical moment.
Yu Gu looked at the endless plain, there was no obstacle as far as the eye could see, and Yu Gu was thinking: life is too flat is really not a good thing.
"Yu Li, are you sure we're on the right track? Not going to Huangquan Road? Yu Gu's complaint can be said to be extremely appropriate, and the souls of several people are afraid that they are not going to be exposed.
Yu Li took a deep breath, he hoped that he was wrong this time, but the direction of the sun told him that it was the fault of the body, and people's physical strength was too limited, so he said weakly, "It's all because you have to take a shortcut, this road is almost not taken, even the carriages and horses are rarely seen." But after half an hour or so, we should be able to see the houses. ”
The last sentence was like an initiation, Lan Chen slowed down and waited for Yu Li to come up, and said breathlessly, "Gu Bai taught you, you take him, I have to rest for a while, the spring sun in your north is really naughty, it will be so hot in a while, I'm afraid I'm going to be evaporated." ”
Yu Li looked at this sturdy tough guy, and said with a wry smile, "Why don't you ride on a horse and escort Gu Bai together, so that you can save your physical strength, don't you think you are too strong, you have to see your limit." ”
Lan Chen saw that Yu Li was about to get on the horse, grabbed his arm and said, "Lang Zhong said, try not to be next to him, he has poisonous wounds in addition to external injuries." ”
For fear of infection, Yu Gu hurriedly added, "Don't be next to him yet, the knife of that gang yesterday was poisonous, it should be mandal powder." ”
"Mandolin powder?" Yu asked puzzled.
Yu Gu looked at the herring, approached Yu Li and said carefully, "Empress Dowager Ye's secret poison powder, once the wound is infected, it will rot within a few days, and it is extremely contagious. ”
Seeing Yu Gu muttering quietly, Qingyu made it clear that he didn't want Qingyu to hear, at this time, he was still hiding, so he made people angry, and Qingyu shouted, "Yu Gu, what do you mean, are you afraid that I will hear it?" Am I redundant? As he spoke, he quickened his pace, as if he was deliberately distancing.
Yu Gu knew that Qingyu was emotionally unstable now, and he didn't dare to offend her, so he waved his hand to show that he was helpless, thinking that he would let her digest it by herself, and some things should be more profound than others' enlightenment.
"Are you saying that nine times out of ten, this matter was done by Empress Dowager Ye?" Yu Li asked in a low voice, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point for a while, making people dare not gasp for breath.
Yu Gu made a fan shape with his hand, put it to Yu Li's ear and whispered, "Not necessarily? If the traces are too obvious, there must be something wrong. ”
"Still saying, Yu Gu, are you trying to anger me? I hate it when men mutter, you two are hopeless. The blue fish crossed her waist and pointed at Yu Gu and Yu Li angrily, like a child who lost his temper, which was very cute.
Yu Gu saw that the herring fish was furious, and immediately covered his mouth with his hands to show obedience, and Yu Li also smiled happily when he watched it from the side.
"There's a tree ahead!" The herring pointed ahead, excitedly like a little rabbit, and jumped forward one after another.
"Finally, we were almost hanged by a tree." Yu Gu said that there was already starlight in his eyes, and his feet unconsciously increased.
When you really see that tree, what really struck me was not the height of the tree, but the cauliflower bush.
"It's so beautiful" Golo's heartfelt admiration came from the bottom of his heart, like a garden that suddenly landed, presented in front of people, shocked and moved.
The herring is running and jumping among the cauliflower bushes, like a little elf, the butterflies are dancing, the wind is blowing quietly, everything is as if nature has carefully prepared it. It makes people forget time and sorrow.
Yu Gu didn't enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him, but looked at the blue fish in front of him, trying to keep her smiling face in mind, turned around and looked at Lan Chen, Yu Li, and Ge Luo in turn, they were all immersed in this unexpected surprise, and even Gu Bai on horseback was in unbearable pain, but it seemed that he had also been healed, and a smile appeared on his face.
Yu Gu closed his eyes, smelled the fragrance of this flower into his mouth and nose, and went straight to his heart, the face of forgetting his worries just now must be remembered in his heart, that is the most beautiful and natural state of people!
"Herring, come here, drink some water and take a rest." Yu Gu sat under the intertwined trees, looking at the herring that was still lingering among the flowers, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, just a child, why should he learn to grow up?
"Let's take a break here at noon today, it stands to reason that there should be people in this place, why is there no one?" Yu Li looked around, as if looking for something.
Lan Chen looked at Yu Li, dragged his chin and opened his big eyes, and said lazily, "Yu Li, it's not me saying you, this road is definitely a dead end, you can force your own people to a dead end, and you are also a dead end." ”
Yu Li was not happy when he heard this, went up and pushed Lan Chen hard, and said, "Don't spew blood, I don't know you Nandu, I am still a clear door in my Jade City." ”
"Don't fight infighting, take a good rest, you still feel that your strength is too strong, you can carry me on your back when you walk in the afternoon." Yu Gu's shameless temperament began to appear again, and Yu Li and Lan Chen ruthlessly threw out their white eyes, expressing their disgust.
After speaking, Yu Gu picked up the kettle and walked towards the flowers, it was really nowhere to escape under the sun, and he began to sweat after taking a few steps.
Seeing that Yu Gu was coming, Qingyu ran farther, and she wanted to enjoy the world alone.
In this way, the herring fish ran in front, Yu Gu chased desperately behind, and the herring found that Yu Gu was running weakly, like an old man in the countryside, and felt very funny, so he teased, "Hurry up, come and chase me." ”
Yu Gu looked at the blue fish that was running fast, and for the first time felt that he didn't feel like a person who practiced martial arts, and he couldn't outrun a weak woman, and shouted, "There is a snake in front of you, don't run." ”
Qingyu will not be frightened by Yu Gu, laughing all the way and continuing to run forward.
Suddenly, the herring stopped, arched over and looked at something on the ground, Yu Gu knew that the herring was very curious, and there were many strange animals in the field, so he hurriedly ran forward, afraid that something would happen to the herring.
On the ground is not an animal at all, but a living person, Qingyu looked at the little girl in front of her who was caught in the mouse trap, her eyes were full of sympathy, so she bent down and asked softly, "Are you in pain?" Why don't I get this rid of for you? ”
The little girl's foot had been caught and bleeding, and Yu Gu took out his dagger and carefully pried the iron monster open.
"Thank you, big brother." The innocence in the little girl's eyes penetrated Yu Gu's heart at once, and Yu Gu touched the little girl's head and asked gently, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Huahua, and my family lives not far away, do you want my brother and sister to go to my house." Yu Gu looked at the injured Huahua, and thinking of the injured Gu Bai, Yu Gu's heart moved.
"Huahua, then we'll send you home, okay?" Qingyu spoke in a very gentle tone like a gentle sister, and Yu Gu's heart was about to melt.
"Can you treat me as a little sister in the future and speak so gently." Yu Gu looked at the herring fish, as if begging for favor.
"If you think beautifully, you're a rat trap at best." Qingyu said with a smile.
As he spoke, the sky was already cloudy and thunder was rolling. Yu Gu saw that the sky had changed greatly, so he said to Qingyu, "You send Huahua home first, and I'll go and bring Lanchen and them over." ”
Before he finished speaking, Yu Gu had already disappeared into the flowers.
