Chapter X
I went back to my house, Qingling was pruning the roses, and when she saw me coming back, she smiled and said, "Master is back?" Look how good this rose sounds. But it's all light-colored, and it's a bit monotonous. ”
I walked in, looked at the light-colored roses, and said, "But just right, this color goes well with the nightshade in the yard, and if the color is darker, I'm afraid I'm not used to it again." ”
Qing Ling said a little melancholy, "Yes, and I've watched it for so many years, and I'm used to it." ”
The wind blew, but it blew Qing Ling's hair a little messy, and the branches of the pruned roses on Qing Ling's hands also swayed for a while. Until Qing Ling asked, "Master, what's wrong?" Want to come over and help? ”
I nodded and watched as she plucked the leaves with some insects, carefully checking which leaves were yellowing or terrible, carefully examining the stamens of each flower. I smiled and said, "Most girls are afraid of bugs, but you're not." ”
Qing Ling said while picking leaves, "I was scared at first, but I can't watch the roses I planted die, right?" And bugs or something, after watching it for a long time, I don't feel so scared. ”
I heard Qing Ling say this, but I was actually a little lost in my heart. If I've been by her side, maybe she'll have a chance to be spoiled, but if I'm not by her side, she won't.
Or, if Qingling had been staying by his parents' side, how could he handle these things by himself?
Actually, I ruined her.
After a while, Qing Ling stood up and twisted his waist, and then said, "Master went to the helper today, did the helper say anything?" ”
I said, "I've already told the helper that I don't want to do this ruling elder anymore, and I promised you that I'll be by your side for the rest of my life, haven't I?" ”
I looked at Qing Ling, Qing Ling seemed to be a little dodgy, and finally lowered his head and said, "Actually, Master doesn't have to be like this. ”
I touched her head, Qingling was much taller than before, and the habitual movements in the past were much more rusty now. I said, "I said, I don't have a good master, so I want to learn to be a good master now, is that okay?" ”
Qing Ling was stunned for a long time, then raised his head and laughed again, "Well, but if you want to be a good master, you have to take me to play first, otherwise I won't recognize the master!" ”
During my three years in the ghost castle, I was always on the lookout. Fear that you will be discovered, that you will never come back, that you will be exposed. When you come back, you don't have to worry about it anymore, at least here, there is always a sense of peace of mind.
I haven't eaten with Qingling for a long time, although I have always paid attention to what "food is not silent", but Qingling and I don't have so many rules at home.
Qing Ling took a bite of the green vegetables, then frowned and said, "Master, I don't know where the gang bought the green vegetables, they always have an uncomfortable taste, and they are not refreshing to eat." "I tasted it, and it was true.
Qing Ling was eating while talking about which senior brothers he met when he went out today, which senior sisters, and what he had experienced.
I listened to her energetically, and as she spoke, Qing Ling also gestured with her fists from time to time, and snorted, "At least no one in the gang has beaten me now!" ”
I complimented her, "Then you're amazing." Qing Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it!" ”
As he spoke, Qing Ling fell silent, and then stared at me for a long time before he said softly, "Master, I heard that Qiuyi Pavilion can investigate many things, and I want to investigate the fact that our family was destroyed in the first place." ”
I looked at Qing Ling's eyes and stared at me for a long time, as if asking for my opinion, but in fact I didn't dare to look at her.
As the culprit back then, how dare I look her eyes? I had to vaguely tell her, "You can go if you want, but be safe on the road." Can you find Autumn Pavilion? ”
I watched her stare at me calmly, and it took a long time to say, "Well, I'll leave tomorrow, and when I come back, Master will go out to eat together, right?" ”
I said, "Okay." ”
I know that when she goes, I will go to Qiuyi Pavilion to find out the original truth, and the truth that I tried my best to hide will definitely be known by her, and everything I have hidden no longer has any meaning.
What the hell should I do? Will I be able to keep it?
I thought about it for a long time, and finally followed Qing Ling, was it to protect her, or was it because I was worried that she would know the truth? I don't really know the answer.
What exactly am I expecting, what am I really hoping for?
She walked very slowly, as if she knew I was with her. I remember the first time I followed her, she kept turning to see if anyone was following her, but this time she didn't.
I knew it wasn't because I was so good, but she found out, but she didn't look back at me. I think she knew I was following, but I didn't understand how long she began to doubt and how long she began to know the truth.
In the three years I've been gone, has she found out so much?
I have many times, every day I wake up to see her face, watching her smile at me, I am glad every day, I am glad that Qingling at least today does not know the truth of the matter, I am glad that she is still by my side.
But how could it be different, how long did she start to know the truth, I don't know any of this.
Three years of blankness, all the things she has been through in three years, I don't know anything.
I didn't dare to see her, or even pretend to be nothing. I'm afraid she really knows, and I'm afraid she doesn't know that she's going to seek the truth now. All I can do is live one day at a time, and one day at a time with her.
I want to live with her forever, but I always owe her, I am afraid that she will know the truth, and all this is just my own sin.
The road was still peaceful, and occasionally met a few bandits who were not long-eyed, and they were also cleaned up by Qing Ling himself. I followed her so far away until I saw her enter the Autumn Pavilion.
When she came out, I entered the Autumn Pavilion.
When the pavilion master saw me, he giggled, spit a puff of cigarette on my face, and asked with a chuckle, "It turns out that the person who is waiting for that girl is you." ”
I asked, "What?" ”
The pavilion master took another puff of his cigarette, and the cigarette stick tapped lightly on the table, and said, "That little girl just now said that what she asked about should never be mentioned to the next person who enters the Autumn Pavilion. You're the one she's waiting for, aren't you? ”
I asked, "If the stakes are high enough, won't it work?" ”
I looked at the pavilion master and narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile, "But unfortunately, you know that I have no regrets here, so I can't tell you what she asked, I have already done business with her." ”
I sighed, "That's it." ”
I heard the Pavilion Master ask, "Are you going to hide it from her for the rest of your life?" This little girl is much smarter than you think, maybe you've already been toyed with by her, and she's been waiting for you to tell her the truth? ”
I glanced at the Pavilion Master, who was staring at me with a smile, and after a while I said, "I just hope that I can stay with Qing Ling a little longer, just like now." ”
"Besides, I owe her, even if she kills me, I don't regret it."
I turned to leave, and I heard the pavilion master whispering softly from a distance, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Yi Wu, you will definitely regret it." ”
She guessed right, and I did regret it, I regretted it. It's not that I regret why I didn't tell Qingling to destroy the door, but I regret that I forgot to tell Qingling the truth.
