70. Backtracking
For Hu Qing'an, Hu Dingtang's father is a family ugly, this fact was already achieved at that time, how much pressure he was under at that time, no one could understand, if at this time, there is another family ugly, then, the clan will begin to question Hu Qing'an.
Brothers kill each other, the family is not strictly governed, and the evil family is crooked......
Hu Qing'an couldn't stand it when his hat was buttoned down, so what could he do after he discovered the evil behavior of some people?
I really couldn't think about it for a while, after all, I didn't grow up in the fox clan since I was a child, even Hu Dingtang and them, they were still young at that time, and they didn't know too much about it.
Hu Qing'an would not easily say it to an inconsequential person like me, and a crucial person such as Hu Dingtang would not say it, for fear of provoking more disputes.
So, how much does Hu Dingkun know? How much does Hu Liancheng know?
I can't think too far, but I'm more worried about Hu Dingtang, his road ahead is too bumpy, maybe he really needs a girl like Hu Yunxi, who can bring him strong support and help him go on slowly.
As Hu Liancheng said, I am not suitable.
What is Hu Dingtang doing at this time?
I glanced out the window, it was pitch black, it was the end of the month, the light of the moon was very weak, and he went out in the evening, he should be back to the mansion at this time, right?
At this time, you should be looking for me, right? Will the cook be punished for me?
Can he think that I am here with Hu Dingkun?
Even if you think about it, what can you do?
Hu Liancheng has been staring at me, the surroundings of Hu Dingkun's house must have been surrounded by Hu Liancheng, Hu Dingtang came to me, and Hu Liancheng just took me to blackmail him.
In short, if Hu Dingtang and I want to meet, I'm afraid it's almost impossible.
Hu Dingtang, I'm sorry, for your sake and for myself, I can only make such a choice.
However, now we have a common enemy, the person who killed my grandmother and the person who killed his father are not the same, or they are relatives in the same lineage, and we are working in the same direction.
Only by comforting myself in this way will my heart feel better.
After sitting for half a stick of incense, there was a knock on the door, and Hu Dingkun stood at the door and asked, "Miss Meng, are you awake?" ”
I glanced at the oil lamp still on the table and said, "Awake, is there something wrong?" ”
"My third brother is here." Hu Dingkun said.
I was shocked, Hu Dingtang really found here, his heart was mixed, he stabilized his mind and asked, "What about others?" ”
"I didn't go to see him, he went crazy and was angry with my people," Hu Dingkun said with some pain, "and then Hu Liancheng came." ”
Everything was as Hu Dingkun and I expected, I got out of bed, opened the door, and let Hu Dingkun in, and the two of them sat at the table, I was in a very bad mood.
Hu Dingkun glanced at me and said, "You look lost. ”
I didn't deny it, but I didn't say anything, Hu Dingkun continued: "This is all something we can expect, and Hu Liancheng argued with the third brother for a while, and finally took the third brother away. ”
I smiled sadly: "Hu Liancheng can connive at me to stay with you, the purpose is this, use me to blackmail Hu Dingtang, and get Hu Dingtang back to the old mansion, Hu Dingtang will go for a while, Hu Yunxi will make more trouble, and the balance you mentioned will be formed again, this is the situation that Hu Liancheng and even your grandfather want to see the most." ”
"You said the third brother really gave in like this?" Hu Dingkun said quietly.
I looked at him puzzled: "Why, why am I so disappointed when I listen to your tone?" ”
Hu Dingkun smiled: "I'm just worried about you, is my third brother going to marry the sixth sister, so you won't be sad at all?" ”
My hand under the table clenched suddenly, my eyes drooping, and I didn't want to answer the question.
"Ahh Hu Dingkun took a long breath, shook his head and sighed, "I thought I was hard enough, but now looking at the third brother and you, it seems that they are even worse than me." ”
"Hu Dingkun, are you gloating?" I asked through gritted teeth.
Hu Dingkun waved his hand: "Feel it, feel it, Meng Jiushang, although you don't want to admit it, but in fact, compared to them, I'm actually a person along the way with you, isn't it?" ”
I was noncommittal, hesitated for a moment, and still asked stubbornly: "Hu Dingkun, I went to the old mansion before, why didn't I see your parents?" ”
Hu Dingkun had been spinning the steel ball in his hand with a clang, almost fell to the ground, he was stunned for a short time, reached out to catch the steel ball, pretended to be indifferent and said: "Dead, my mother died early, I don't have any impression of her, my father was half a year after my third uncle's death, in the cold winter, he went out to run errands, and encountered an avalanche on a mountain, and even the corpse was not found." ”
Avalanche? Didn't find the corpse?
I furrowed my brow and asked, "Are you so sure he's dead?" ”
"Grandpa personally sent someone to look for it, and after searching for several months, he didn't find anything, so he should have been frozen in the ice and snow." When Hu Dingkun said this, there was no emotional fluctuation, as if he was telling someone else's story.
His affection for his parents is far less than that of Hu Qing'an, even if Hu Qing'an doesn't like him so much.
But if according to my previous guess, Hu Dingkun was raised as Hu Dingqian's shadow, and it was understandable that Hu Qingan would not wait to see him.
I don't know why, I inexplicably feel that Hu Dingkun's father's death is a bit strange, and even feel that this person is not so easy to really die.
Hu Dingkun said heartlessly: "I've been dead for tens of thousands of years, I don't believe that I can still cheat the corpse back?" Don't worry about eating turnips, now think about what you should do next. ”
"What else can I do? Wait for Hu Liancheng's arrangement. I said.
Originally, I thought that if Hu Liancheng moved quickly, he would get me away before Hu Dingtang came here to find me, but now it seems that he is still more anxious to get Hu Dingtang away.
I stayed here with Hu Dingkun with peace of mind, recuperated my energy, and planned carefully to wait for the forbidden land.
……
For three days in a row, Hu Liancheng didn't come to me, I was here with Hu Dingkun, in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, it was to practice cross-legged luck, and I was upset a lot, and when I was irritable, I would take out the e-cigarette oil given by Uncle Zhang and smell it, and this e-liquid really helped me a lot during this time.
I also reminisced about my previous experience of going to the forbidden land, the fox clan forbidden land is full of dangers, but if Hu Liancheng really lets me in, he should help me clear some unnecessary troubles, and the main thing I have to consider is the stele on the top of the forbidden land, and the Qiankun Earth Evil Talisman on the stele.
That talisman is not small, what is trapped underneath?
Can Hu Liancheng break that talisman?
It shouldn't be, that talisman is not small, since it can be used to suppress it, it means that the things trapped in the forbidden land are extremely terrifying.
But I went to the forbidden land this time, and the purpose of Hu Dingkun forcing me to go last time was completely different, I just wanted to go again, hoping that maybe I could meet the voice that kept letting me go, this time I must ask her well, who is she? Why does she know me? What the hell is her relationship with me?
But what I didn't expect was that Hu Liancheng would backtrack.
When I stayed with Hu Dingkun until the fifth day, I couldn't sit still, I was very uneasy, and I always felt that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, after lunch, I was about to go back to my room to practice, when someone outside came to report: "Second master, uncle is here." ”
Hu Dingkun and I were startled at the same time and looked at each other, Hu Dingkun hurriedly said, "Do you want to avoid it?" ”
Before I could speak, outside, the footsteps were approaching, Hu Dingqian took off his cloak and let the little guy on the side take it, and walked in by himself.
Hu Dingkun had no choice but to greet him: "Why is the eldest brother here?" ”
"I heard that Miss Meng is here with you, so I came." Hu Dingqian said, missed Hu Dingkun, and sat down directly opposite me.
I didn't even want to say a polite word in my heart at that time, because in my heart, Hu Dingqian and Hu Dingtang were my enemies.
Hu Dingqian didn't beat around the bush in the slightest, and came up and said: "Miss Meng is kind-hearted, she can still sit still at this time." ”
"Big brother, Miss Meng is a little girl, you talk like this with a gun and a stick, it will scare her." Hu Dingkun helped me rip it out.
Hu Dingqian sneered: "Second brother, you were poured ecstasy by her, right?" Can she be scared? ”
I know that Hu Dingqian is talking about what happened to him in the old mansion before, and I didn't show him mercy that time, and he didn't have a good impression of me.
As he spoke, he turned to look at me and said, "The third brother is about to tear down the old mansion for you, and you hide here and don't show up, do you want to take revenge on our fox clan?" ”
I looked at Hu Dingqian with a frown, and suddenly felt that I didn't know him anymore, like this, it was not like a person who could press for tens of thousands of years and plant a nail next to Hu Dingtang early.
I made up my mind and asked, "Excuse me, is it because I don't want to see him?" Did he take the initiative to provoke you? ”
Only then did Hu Dingqian calm down and asked me, "Meng Jiushang, do you want to live?" ”
“?”
"Big brother, what are you talking about?"
My face was full of puzzlement, and Hu Dingkun couldn't help but ask.
Hu Dingqian hated iron and steel, gritted his teeth and said: "I know what kind of wishful thinking Hu Liancheng played, but no one thought that grandpa would stick in the cross, the night Dingtang was brought back, he was put under house arrest by his grandfather, and then set an auspicious day with Hu Liancheng without authorization, which is the third day of the next month." ”
Hu Dingkun and I both gasped, and Hu Dingqian continued: "Dingtang was too reckless this time, he thought that after going back with Hu Liancheng, there was still room for negotiation with Hu Liancheng, I can guess that he wanted to pretend to agree to the marriage with Yunxi, but the premise may be to see you first, Miss Meng." ”
"But it's different if grandpa intervenes and comes in, Dingtang is under house arrest, the marriage date is certain, in order to break Dingtang's thoughts, Miss Meng must disappear into this world before the wedding."
Yes, no matter how much Hu Liancheng threatened Hu Dingtang, he didn't dare to put him under house arrest, but Hu Qing'an was different, he was a grandfather, a patriarch, and had absolute control over Hu Dingtang.
Hu Dingkun was anxious and asked, "Then big brother, what are you doing here with me now?" ”
"Meng Jiushang, you make a decision." Hu Dingqian stared at me and said.
What is Hu Dingqian doing here?
Once Hu Dingtang really married Hu Yunxi and completely took Hu Liancheng for his own use, his threat to Hu Dingqian was unprecedentedly great, Hu Dingqian didn't want me to die, he just wanted to use me to stop the wedding.
But where did I get the ability to mess with the affairs of the fox clan?
But if I don't stir things up, will Hu Dingqian do this to me?
I suddenly sneered and said to Hu Dingqian: "Let me choose?" Are you sincere? If you want me to say, you might as well tell me what I should do next. ”
Hu Liancheng's goal has been achieved, he broke his promise, it is impossible to send me to the forbidden land, I was completely tricked by him, and no matter what I do next, there is no point.
Hu Dingqian said: "The turning point is in your own hands, I came here at such a big risk today, I just want to ask you for something." ”
"What's that?" I asked.
"You and Dingtang's love token." Hu Dingqian said, "It's impossible for me to help you do anything to disobey my grandfather, but as long as Dingtang resists to a certain extent, things will still turn around." ”
I sneered in my heart, Hu Dingkun's move to retreat is just right, Hu Dingtang has now threatened his position, he can't toss Hu Dingtang under Hu Qing'an's nose, but let me stimulate Hu Dingtang.
Hu Dingtang will go against Hu Qing'an for me this time, Hu Qing'an will be very disappointed in him, only if Hu Qing'an despairs of Hu Dingtang, can he Hu Dingqian be Hu Qing'an's most favored grandson again.
Hu Dingqian came suddenly today, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the point, in fact, in order not to give me time to think, trying to move forward with my thinking, and let me make some decisions impulsively, and these decisions were made under his constant hints.
He wanted me to make a mistake, and at the same time implicated Hu Dingtang.
After thinking about these clearly, I calmed down, hooked the corners of my lips, and said: "Hu Dingqian, your wishful thinking is wrong, I don't have a so-called love token with Hu Dingtang, in my opinion, instead of asking me to stimulate Hu Dingtang, it is better to do it yourself, urge Hu Dingtang's lesion, let him relapse of his old disease, can not hold a wedding, and cannot inherit the position of patriarch, kill two birds with one stone, why not?" ”
Hu Dingqian's face changed suddenly, and he could hear that I was satirizing him for the persecution of Hu Dingtang during this time.
When I say this, I completely tear my face with him, and then, if he is decisive enough, he can break my neck with one hand, and it's a hundred.
I was also ready, but Hu Dingqian didn't, he gritted his teeth with a tense face, and the whole person was on the verge of rage, and finally left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving me and Hu Dingkun standing there, staring at each other with big eyes.
waited for Hu Dingqian to go away, and then Hu Dingkun said: "See, this is my amiable and respectable eldest brother, who can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and he won't let his hands be stained with blood that shouldn't be stained." ”
That's right, a person who can be the patriarch of the fox clan is highly respected, how can he kill innocents indiscriminately?
Even if you want to kill, you have to borrow a knife to kill.
"That's it?" I asked.
Hu Dingkun shrugged, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple, I can only remind you that you have to be careful next." ”
"Hu Dingkun, won't you help me?" I asked.
"How can I help you?" Hu Dingkun asked me rhetorically, "Do you use the hungry ghost gangrene that I raised, or do you use those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in my hall?" ”
"Meng Jiushang, I told you, someone uses my human hands more smoothly than I use it myself, let alone help you, I don't even dare to guarantee that one day, the person I raised with my own hands will not put a knife on my neck in turn."
I felt powerless like never before, and I wanted to come to Hu Dingkun to seek protection, but I didn't expect that when facing Hu Dingqian, Hu Dingkun was just a shadow, Hu Dingqian's thug.
Even if he himself is unwilling, he even wants to rely on me to turn the tables against the wind.
Hu Dingkun reached out and patted me on the shoulder, comforting: "However, maybe you don't have to worry so much, have you forgotten the piper?" Maybe he'll help you again. ”
I was noncommittal, I had a terrible headache, so I went back to my room.
One afternoon, I sat like pins and needles, constantly smelling the e-liquid to stabilize my mood, and in the end, I didn't know if I was paralyzed by the e-liquid, and I fell asleep in a daze.
I didn't sleep well this night, I was always dreaming, the situation in the dream was chaotic and complicated, what I remember most clearly is that I dreamed of the scene of Hu Dingtang and Hu Yunxi getting married, even in the dream, my heart hurt and hurt.
My heart ached, and suddenly I felt something pressing down from above, and I couldn't breathe, and I struggled to wake up, but then, my whole body was actually carried up.
I woke up suddenly, and found that I was not dreaming, I was indeed being carried, the person was still running, I opened my mouth to shout for help, but there was only the sound of the whirring wind in my ears, which made me think of Hu Dingtang carrying the internal force with me to run wildly.
The internal strength of the person carrying me must not be underestimated, even if I shout, the shouting will be drowned in this whirring wind, and it will have no effect.
Who is taking me captive?
Did I get Hu Dingkun's approval, or did I avoid Hu Dingkun's surveillance and take me away?
Where is he going to take me captive?
……
A series of questions kept popping up in my head, but I couldn't answer any of them.
When the man finally put me down, I struggled to break free of the restraints around me and see what was going on around me.
But when I opened my eyes wide, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, which made me think if there was something wrong with my eyes.
I felt around with my hands restlessly, and soon I touched the wall, there were walls in the front and back, left and right, and the whole space could only accommodate two people, and the space was very small.
In other words, I was imprisoned in a small black rumbling space, is this meant to fend for me?
I suddenly remembered Hu Dingqian's words, before the wedding in the third year of junior high school, they will not let me continue to live!
Could it be that Hu Qing'an and Hu Liancheng teamed up to kidnap me and kill me?
