Chapter Eighty-Four: Mind
As the morning approached, the female disciples were busy in the back kitchen, and the male disciples were all setting up tables, chairs, and chopsticks in the front hall, which seemed to be no different from usual, but the silence in the room revealed everyone's heavy mood at this time. At this time on weekdays, everyone is busy talking and laughing for lunch, but at this time, no one is talking, they are all pulling their heads, listless.
Hongxia and Ruan Rou are very good friends every day, she looked at the vegetable washing basin in a daze, and she didn't even notice that the vegetable leaves in her hand had fallen. Ruan Rou left, she felt not only sad, but also a very heavy feeling of betrayal. She'd never told her about eloping before.
"Sir, he'...... Do you really leave them alone? There was a female disciple who couldn't help but say.
"I think that the gentleman left them alone is the greatest favor to them." A tall woman came into the kitchen, and her white clothes made her more and more thin and handsome. When everyone saw her, they all got up and saluted, "Senior sister." ”
The woman nodded and glanced at the half-cooked dishes in the pot, "Don't think about it so much, let's hurry up and do things." She turned her gaze and landed on Hongxia in the corner of the side, "Hongxia, you come with me." ”
Hongxia sighed, put down the food in her hand, wiped her hands and followed her out. She had probably guessed in her heart what the senior sister called her for.
The two didn't speak, Hongxia kept peeking at her, and the anxiety in her heart became more and more, and when she arrived in front of Bai Chuan's door, she glanced back at Hongxia and patted her shoulder, "It's okay, Mr. just asked you something, you tell the truth, Mr. won't lose his temper with you for no reason." Go ahead. Hongxia nodded hurriedly, very grateful in her heart, this senior sister is the same as Mr., she is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, she took a breath and squeezed out a smile, "Thank you, senior sister." ”
Bai Chuan's room, she entered it for the first time, and after pushing the door open, Hongxia tied her hands a little overwhelmed, and shouted stupidly, "Sir, you call me." ”
Shirakawa was writing in front of the desk, and when he saw her coming, his chin nodded slightly, signaling her to come in. Hongxia looked at his room, the bookshelves, bookcases, low stools, beds and living things were all placed in the inner room, so this outer room seemed very empty, she saw the best place in the room, there was a chaise longue, the workmanship and style did not seem to be for men, she lowered her eyes, knowing that it was the little sister's things.
"Tell me." Shirakawa didn't put down the pen, he was still writing on the paper, and he didn't raise his head.
It's just that the feeling of oppression has made Hongxia feel uneasy, she rubbed her hands and whispered, "I don't know about Ruan Rou and Senior Brother." She didn't tell me about it. ”
Bai Chuan glanced at her, and Hongxia felt very uncomfortable being stared at by two eyes on her body, and chased, "I really don't know." She was very aggrieved in her heart, obviously she was an outsider, but she was pulled here as if she was being interrogated, and the sadness in her heart that had just been suppressed by herself couldn't help but be hooked up again.
"Is it uncomfortable?"
She Huo Ran raised her head, Bai Chuan's good-looking eyes were looking at her, strange, obviously she had always felt that there should be a terrifying cold glow in her husband's eyes, but at this moment, all she saw was concern and inquiry, and it was as peaceful as a clear spring.
His nose couldn't help but sour and nodded.
"Among the disciples, you and Ruan Rou are the best friends, if you don't even know, others can't know about it, it seems that I can only ask when the two of them come back in person." Bai Chuan began to wonder if Ruan Rou, who was well-behaved and docile, had really eloped with Duan Peng.
"Will they really come back?" She sniffed and looked up at him, her eyes shining with anticipation.
Bai Chuan nodded indifferently, "Naturally, I will come back." "Not coming back? Then Ruan Rou only has her soul to return to the underworld. The look in the girl's eyes in front of him made him a little unbearable, "This is the case between people, trust is often a one-sided charity, and it may not be exchanged for equal treatment." You are young and inexperienced, and these words may be too heavy for you, but ......," he paused, put down the pen in his hand, and rubbed his face, his fair skin stained a little red, "the truth is so unforgiving. He didn't say these words to Hongxia on the spur of the moment, because he had seen a child grow into a ...... because of a deep sense of betrayal and hatred in his heart Depraved......
He already had a disciple who was so persistent, and he didn't want to see others become like her.
Hongxia couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore, and cried completely, "I thought she was my best friend, I ...... I'll say anything to her. But...... But she ......"
Alas, he sighed in his heart, the pain of being betrayed by someone he trusted...... He also has the experience. His eyes gently swept over the empty chaise longue, Bai Chuan quietly looked at Hongxia and sobbed, in his memory, the most seriously injured child had never shed tears in front of him like this.
Hongxia cried for a while and felt much more comfortable, then she remembered where she was, suddenly lost her temper, raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes. Bai Chuan's voice came, "If Ruan Rou comes back, will you still treat her like in the past?" ”
Hongxia was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know." ”
Shirakawa looked away and waved his hand, "You go." He knew that Hongxia was telling the truth, and after being hurt once, would he choose to believe it again, this question, he always wanted to ask for an answer.
"But......" After the conversation just now, Hongxia was no longer as afraid of Shirakawa as before, and she said it without thinking about it, "But I hope she can live well." ”
Bai Chuan was stunned, looking at the child who was still crying just now, silent.
When Hongxia walked out of the room, she saw that the senior sister was still standing in the place where she had just been separated from her, she couldn't help but be moved again, touched her face, and walked over, "Senior sister." ”
She sighed, her expression was exactly the same as Shirakawa's, and handed her a clean handkerchief, "Wipe it clean and let's go." ”
"Sir!" Xiao Wu ran up in a panic, saw Hongxia who was crying with red eyes and nose, nodded to the senior sister, and ran to Bai Chuan's room, the loud voice of the foot of the mountain could be heard, "Sir!" Big Brother is back! And Senior Sister Ruan Rou! ”
The disciples who rushed over when they heard the news were all stunned, and when Shirakawa said that they would come back, they still didn't believe it, but at this time, they sincerely admired Mr. Qi.
The apricot forest array next to the mountain gate was nothing to the disciples of this sect, Duan Peng carried Ruan Rou on his back and held the bronze sword in his hand, and stepped in step by step, his hair was already scattered, and the sleeves and trouser legs on his body had many traces of being scratched, obviously, they were not comfortable walking back and forth all the way.
Hua Shao rushed out of the crowd, supported him, and before he could speak, he saw the person on his back and exclaimed, "Senior sister!" ”
Duan Peng glanced at him and threw the sword in his hand to him, "Your sword." ”
Hua Shao took it, but he didn't let go of Duan Peng's hand, although he didn't understand why they would go and return, but he saw Ruan Rou's face that was half covered by hair, it was terrifyingly blue, and her lips were purple.
"Duan Peng. Get her in. ”
The only one who could call him by his name directly was the senior sister who was at the same level as him, he raised his head weakly and smiled, thanking her for her concern, "Zhanchun, where is Mr." ”
Zhan Chun wanted to take Ruan Rou, but Duan Peng stubbornly turned around and didn't let her take over, Zhan Chun was stunned for a moment and withdrew his hand, "Mr. is waiting for you in the house." ”
Duan Peng gritted his teeth and walked over with Ruan Rou on his back. Shirakawa was already standing in the courtyard, and behind him, the apricot trees began to show signs of sprouting, no longer as dead and silent as the previous few months. But Duan Peng's heart was filled with a determination to die. He put down Ruan Rou and knelt down on both knees, "Sir, please save Ruan Rou." ”
Bai Chuan glanced at Ruan Rou on the ground, "If you don't bring her in again, she won't be saved." With that, he turned and went into the house.
Duan Peng was overjoyed, Mr. agreed to treat Ruan Rou so easily, it was really beyond his expectations. In a panic, he picked up the man on the ground and followed him into the house.
In the house, there was a smell of medicine, and Hongxia, who was following them, was a little surprised, she didn't smell it when she just left. Could it be that when the little five called for the news of their return just now, Mr. prepared it temporarily? It turned out that Mr. had already made up his mind to save Ruan Rou.
"You all go out, I'm going to heal her." He spoke lightly, already rolling up his sleeves.
Zhan Chun waved his hand at everyone and motioned for them to wait outside. Duan Peng also retreated, his eyes staring at the closed door tightly, his face was very ugly. Zhan Chun couldn't look at it, "If Mr. makes a move, Senior Sister Ruan Rou will definitely get better." ”
Duan Pengtie blushed and nodded. After he finished speaking, his body shook and he also collapsed. Zhan Chun looked at the turquoise blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth in shock, and shouted, "Sir, Duan Peng is also poisoned!" ”
The door opened suddenly, Bai Chuan clicked on several big holes on Duan Peng's body at a lightning speed, Duan Peng had a good body after all, he barely opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Bai Chuan, he was about to get up, Bai Chuan held him down, "I only have one antidote to the blue blood spider, save you or save her, you choose." ”
The atmosphere froze instantly, and the hearts of the disciples who felt that things had eased just now suddenly rose to their throats again, Hongxia covered her chest and took two steps back, bumping into Hua Shao behind her, and seeing that there was also an unbelievable look in his eyes.
How so? How could both of them be poisoned?
"Save her!" Duan Peng didn't hesitate at all, his resolute face began to turn pale blue, and his limbs seemed to have been drained of all his strength, but his heart was extremely firm.
"Okay." Shirakawa turned around, without a little reluctance.
"Sir!" Behind him, all the disciples knelt down together, "Sir, you can think of a way." More than a dozen people, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him in unison, and the pleading in their eyes was moving.
Bai Chuan's lips, which had been tense, suddenly moved, slightly hooked upward, but the fleeting smile made the disciples shake, and he entered the room, leaving a group of kneeling people looking at each other.
"Zhanchun, tell them to get up." Duan Peng said softly, looking at his fellow disciple gratefully, "I am a sinner, I am your senior brother for nothing, Mr. is willing to save Ruan Rou is already extraordinarily gracious, don't ...... For my sake to provoke Mr. ”
Some of the female disciples already had red eyes, but none of them got up.
It was quiet outside, and it was suffocating inside, and they were all waiting for the white figure to reappear.
