Chapter 112 Search
On the third day of Wei Chimu's departure, Scarlet Smoke sat at the wooden table, staring at the hot dishes on the table, the clear soup was steaming, and the mist came to her face, as if a pair of gentle hands were holding her chin and caressing her cheeks lovingly.
With a smile, she took out two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls from the wooden basket containing the dishes and chopsticks, and kept muttering: "Yu Chimu, it's time to eat, I stewed chicken soup today, which is the best way to nourish the body, don't let me wait for you-"
Her voice stopped abruptly, and after a while, she looked down at the two pairs of chopsticks in her hand and the two porcelain bowls on the table.
Then she smiled self-deprecatingly and tossed the extra chopsticks back into the wooden basket.
"It's strange," she said to herself, "Wei Chimu has been gone for so many days, why do I always feel that he is by my side......"
She stared at the hot dishes, the mist filling the room, with a refreshing fragrance, but it did not nourish the heart of the woman who was alone in the empty room.
For two days, she waited patiently for two more days. She didn't sleep well at all in the past two days, and when she was awake, she looked at the beam, as if a black shadow would appear hanging on the beam of the house in the next moment, with deep sword eyebrows and a smile in her eyes, and called in a magnetic voice: "Scarlet smoke, I'm back." ”
When she was sleeping, as soon as she closed her eyes, the back of Wei Chimu appeared in her mind, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, full of dangers. She woke up violently, hugging the quilt and trembling. Although I realized that it was just a dream, the raging fire, the sword that drank and sacrificed blood, and the robe that was lifted by the wind have always haunted my heart and lingered.
These days, she has always been resolute and free, and she has already shed tears many times.
A room alone was always quiet, and when she was dressing up in the mirror, she remembered that the man had suddenly appeared, and bent down to gently curl her hair; She leaned against the window, and remembered that night when the moon was dreary, and the evening breeze was blowing, and he took the cloak in his hand, and wrapped her in his bosom with it; As she lay on the bed, she saw the man lying on her side, bowing his head and kissing her, and the two of them lingered and laughed, melting the endless sweetness in the vine red tent......
However, these imaginations, after Yu Chimu disappeared, became the most cruel weapon to torture Scarlet Smoke.
How sweet it was then, how much lovesickness now.
Scarlet thought intently, and suddenly a pain came from her abdomen.
She let out a low moan and slowly stroked her lower abdomen. There, carrying the crystallization of her love with Yu Chi Mu is also the biggest motivation to support her to wait for Yu Chi Mu these days.
It's just that now, the child in the womb seems to be a little unable to wait. The pain seemed to be urging, hoping to hear from my father soon.
Scarlet Smoke gently comforted the child, while slowly raising his head, in the direction of the town, his foolish gaze gradually turned into a resolute look.
She decided to go to the town to find Yu Chimu herself.
The fog had not yet cleared in the early morning, and the road to the town was a bit bumpy. Scarlet Smoke stepped on the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and because she was pregnant, she didn't dare to use her true qi, so she could only move forward slowly.
The road was almost eerily quiet, with only a few scattered petals on the side of the road, and a few weeds swaying from side to side, without a trace of life.
The scarlet smoke stopped and stopped, and it was not easy to see a big tree that could be leaned on. She leaned on the side of the tree and gasped, muttering: "It's strange, although this town is not a splendid and prosperous place, it is also the only town within a radius of dozens of miles. ”
She was suddenly puzzled, looked around, and finally found a faint figure not far away, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked over with her stomach.
Scarlet has good eyesight, and he is indeed a big living man - a woodcutter who carries dry wood on his back.
Scarlet Smoke said hello, and the woodcutter happily replied. Seeing that the woodcutter was old and had a white beard, Scarlet couldn't help asking, "Do you always walk this way into the town every day?" ”
The woodcutter wiped his sweat and said, "This is the only way to the town, so naturally you have to walk." Why did the girl ask this? ”
Scarlet Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, and said hurriedly: "Then have you ever seen a man named Yu Chimu?" It is...... Eight feet tall, and a tall and burly man with a dignified appearance, sword eyebrows and thin lips, a straight nose, wearing a purple robe, and always carrying a sword on his back? ”
"This ......," said the woodcutter, raising his broad eyebrows and pondering for some time, "I have never seen it." ”
"Is that so......" Scarlet Yan was disappointed when she heard this, and her originally bright eyes immediately dimmed a little.
The woodcutter looked at her deeply and said, "There are so many people who have gone to the town here, and there are many people that the old man has never seen. Why didn't the girl ask a few more people, and maybe she would be able to find the lang there? ”
When Scarlet Smoke heard this, he thanked the woodcutter and stepped forward again. She was thinking about Yu Chimu in her heart, and she didn't notice the fleeting glint in the woodcutter's eyes after she turned around.
As the sun rises, the sun peeks out from behind the clouds, and the scenery on the road gradually takes on a clear outline. However, Scarlet Smoke still didn't see the person he wanted, and his heart was inevitably even more lost, and he was top-heavy, and he stumbled and almost fell to his knees.
She rubbed her temples, only to feel that things had not been going well lately. After being pregnant with a child, she often had chest tightness, drowsiness, headaches, and shortness of breath from time to time. I went out in a hurry today, and I didn't have time to drink medicine, is it that now I am sick again?
She was a little impetuous, and when her vision gradually became clear, she was tapped on the shoulder.
Scarlet Smoke jumped almost reflexively.
It startled the person who patted her.
Scarlet Yan was stunned, and turned her head, it turned out to be the woodcutter who was asked by her about Yu Chimu's whereabouts.
"Ah, girl, the old man will pat you soon, as for such a big reaction!" The woodcutter patted his chest exaggeratedly, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Scarlet laughed dryly: "I'm sorry, it's sparsely populated on this road, and it's easy to be vigilant......"
"That's right." The woodcutter put down his burden and muttered, "You are a woman, and it is still quite dangerous for you to come out alone." Recently, the world has not been peaceful, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have run out......"
Scarlet Smoke interrupted him, "What's the matter with you suddenly looking for me?" ”
“…… Those people specifically picked on the women of good families...... Yes? Looking for you, naturally...... That's right! The woodcutter slapped his head, "Look at the old man's memory!" Looking for you to tell you, the old man thought about it carefully, there is such a man who passed this road and went in the direction of the town......"
"What?!" Scarlet Smoke cried out in surprise, and seeing that the woodcutter looked frightened again, he hurriedly lowered his voice, but the smile in his eyes could not be suppressed.
It's just that this startled glance, and the child in the womb was a little unbearable, and kicked her gently.
Scarlet Smoke reflexively covered her stomach, but was looked at by the woodcutter.
"What's wrong with you? But what's wrong with your body? The woodcutter asked with concern as he helped her.
"I'm fine." Scarlet Yan smiled reluctantly, but the pain in her abdomen was a little more intense, and even her head was a little dizzy.
"Don't lie to the old man, your face is pale!" The woodcutter shouted, reaching out to pull the cigarette, "Quick, go to the old man's house and rest for a while." Although the old man's humble house is not a gentle township, at least there is a place for people to rest. ”
Scarlet Smoke hurriedly broke free of his hand: "No need, I'll just rest on the spot for a while." ”
"You girl! Why are you so stubborn! My house is near here, and you'll know if I take you there! The woodcutter shouted again, and the force with which he pulled the scarlet smoke was heavier.
Scarlet Smoke broke free again, and the old man came to drag her again, and even had some intention of forcibly pulling her away: "It's all said, young people don't be so willful!" Look at you, cold sweat is coming out, even if it's to find someone, it shouldn't be so hard, right? Go up and sit down with the old man, and the old man will help you remember it carefully, and see where the man you said has gone......"
Scarlet Yan was vigilant, and said secretly: This old man frequently wants to take me to his house, isn't there any bad intention? Looking at his age, his strength is not small, and it can be seen that he is also a martial artist.
Although her martial arts skills are not weak, after all, she is pregnant, even if she is ninety percent sure that she will defeat her opponent, she must be careful about the possibility of endangering the child's life. What if he has any other accomplices? I can't get into his way!
As she thought so, her sleeve flickered, and a dagger slipped into the palm of her hand. The woodcutter was about to pull her, but she suddenly struck, and the tip of the dagger was extremely sharp, and it was quickly aimed at the woodcutter's throat, so startled that his eyes widened, but he did not dare to act rashly.
"Say!" Scarlet Smoke stared at him, a calm face with a sinister face, "Who sent you?" ”
"What did the girl say!" The woodcutter was frightened, but he didn't panic at all, "The old man is kind enough to take you to rest, how are you speculating!" Don't put down your dagger yet! ”
Scarlet Smoke said sharply: "If it's for my good, why do you still pull me so hard?" I'm afraid I don't want to go with you! ”
"The old man's nature is so strong, how suspicious are you female doll!"
Scarlet looked at him seriously, although the woodcutter was frightened by the threat, he did not have the slightest fear, and he was even more sure that he had kung fu and was plotting against him.
It's just that at this moment, her body is very weak, and she has no way to deal with the woodcutter anymore, so she put down the dagger and said coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need to rest, you still go and do your business, don't worry about my business!" ”
The woodcutter was so angry that he fell on his chest, carried the burden on his shoulders fiercely, muttered "I don't know the hearts of good people", and left in a huff.
Scarlet Smoke stared at his back, a hint of trance.
Could it be that she was so hearty that she blamed the woodcutter's kindness?
Anyway, it's better to mention some gods, after all, if you are alone, you are not afraid of 10,000.
She shook her head, seeing that the sun was getting more and more vicious, and she didn't dare to care about anything else, so she simply quickened her pace and hurried towards the town.
It's just that she took a few more steps, and suddenly the sixth sense alarm bell sounded, which made her uneasy, and she slowly slowed down.
At first, she only thought it was an illusion, she closed her eyes and concentrated, slowly mobilizing her sensory organs and moving the meridians, and the uneasy intuition was not pressed, but fermented even more, and soon filled her heart.
She opened her eyes suddenly, Huo Ran turned around, only to feel that not far behind her, there was a faint figure flickering!
Really!
Who's stalking her!
