Chapter 175: God's Slave (I)
After Tang Qianlin pressed down the man, he saw clearly that it was a young man of eighteen or nineteen.
The young man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his hair was unkempt, and he looked at Tang Qianlin with extremely frightened eyes.
Tang Qianlin didn't feel that this young man had the intention to attack him, but only felt his fear from the bottom of his heart, so he let go of him, helped him up and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The young man refused to speak, but just knelt down and lay on the ground facing Tang Qianlin as if he was praying.
After Liu Mouzheng put the meat into the bag, he walked forward with his shoulder: "Let's go, we should go back." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Regardless of whether he can?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "It's better not to contact them, it won't do us any good." ”
Just as Tang Qianlin turned around step by step, the young man suddenly got up and looked at Tang Qianlin and said some language that Tang Qianlin heard familiar to him, but he couldn't understand right away.
Tang Qianlin stopped and looked at the young man, who was still kneeling there, looking at him with expectant eyes.
Liu Mou was in front of him and said, "Let's go." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Wait, I seem to be able to understand what he is saying." ”
Liu Mouzheng said sharply: "Hurry up!" Are you deaf? ”
Tang Qianlin ignored Liu Mouzheng, and when he was about to go back, he saw that more than a dozen men, women, and children dressed the same as him suddenly appeared in the grass behind the young man, some of whom were still holding rudimentary weapons in their hands, standing there looking at Tang Qianlin and Liu Mouzheng.
Although Tang Qianlin couldn't feel the hostility of this group of people, in order to avoid unexpected trouble, he had to quickly follow Liu Mouzheng and leave.
Back on the grass under the waterfall, Liu Mou was carrying a bag of meat, and stepped forward to directly step on the bonfire that had just been raised when Tang Yu was born.
Tang Yushi got up suddenly: "Are you sick?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "If you want to blame your father, he is too curious!" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Since those people are not hostile, then why should we hide? ”
The others didn't know what the two were arguing about, but they were still subconsciously divided into two groups, except for He Chenxue, Jin Gusi and Ni Xiaowan, the rest of them naturally stood behind Tang Qianlin.
Liu Mouzheng leaned close to Tang Qianlin's ear and said in a low voice: "If you still want these people around you to live for a while, then listen to me!" Do you understand? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "You threaten me? ”
Liu Mouzheng said coldly: "You can take it as a threat, but I won't stop you from doing it next, you are a catcher, and you are not too young, you should know that you are responsible for your words and deeds." ”
Tang Qianlin glared at Liu Mouzheng, and finally turned his head sideways to Tang Yushi and said, "Put out the fire, pack up your things, let's change places." ”
Seeing Tang Qianlin say this, everyone didn't confront Liu Mouzheng and the others anymore, but just followed Liu Mouzheng towards the depths of the jungle, walking for an hour, and when everyone was exhausted, Liu Mouzheng stopped and said: "Just rest here, there is a river over there, you can get water, make a fire and cook." ”
When Liu Mou was taking the meat out of the bag, An Ran and Xia Shuang were pleasantly surprised.
An Ran said: "You guys actually hunted the prey? What kind of meat is this? ”
Tang Qianlin was about to say something, but Liu Mouzheng said, "Wild boar." ”
Tang Qianlin knew that if it was vole meat, it was estimated that An Ran and Xia Shuang would definitely not be able to swallow it.
Ye Da put down Li Yunfan, who was unconscious, and reached out to probe his breathing: "He hasn't woken up yet, it's so strange." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Some people have been severely stimulated, it is normal to be unconscious, as long as there is breathing, there is no problem, sooner or later they will wake up." ”
Saying that, Tang Qianlin looked at Xia Shuang, who was busy making a fire and roasting meat, and then looked at Liu Mouzheng, who was talking to Tang Zicheng on the side, and asked Ye Da in a low voice: "Don't you think it's strange?" ”
Ye Da asked, "What?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Liu Mouzheng should be the leader of the generation of Lone Army, it stands to reason that Xia Shuang was also arranged by her, but when Xia Shuang saw him, why did he not know him?" He doesn't seem to respect him. ”
Ye Da looked at Tang Qianlin: "Are you suspicious of Xia Shuang?" ”
Tang Qianlin hesitated, but finally nodded.
Ye Da looked at Xia Shuang, but said, "Instead of doubting, it's better to ask her directly." ”
Just when Tang Qianlin was about to stop Ye Da, Ye Da beckoned Xia Shuang to come to him and directly said Tang Qianlin's questions.
After listening to this, Xia Shuang replied calmly: "You also know that girls raised by lonely soldiers are generally of two types, cuckoo and bliss, He Chenxue is bliss, and I am cuckoo, what I do is doves occupy the magpie's nest." Growing up, I never saw anyone other than my parents and liaisons, and I was always skeptical of the organization, and I understood Mochen's feelings, I grew up living in a lie, and I once asked myself more than once, who am I? Fortunately, I have Mochen, Brother Tang, do you understand now? ”
Xia Shuang said so much in one breath that Tang Qianlin, who had some considerations, couldn't say anything, so he had to nod.
Xia Shuang said: "Thank you." ”
After thanking her, Xia Shuang left and went back to work.
Ye Da sat beside Tang Qianlin silently, and Tang Qianlin said, "I'm sorry." ”
Ye Da looked at Li Yunfan in a coma: "Needless to say, I'm sorry, I just think that you have always doubted everything, and you want to trust the people around you, but it seems to be very difficult for you to do that." We've known each other for so long, but I don't know you and what kind of person you are...... These words were said by me on behalf of Yi Mochen. ”
Tang Qianlin wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything.
Ye Da said again: "Maybe you don't know why. I'm curious, did you become like this after experiencing He Chenxue's incident, or have you always been this kind of person? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I don't know, I forgot." ”
Ye Dadao: "Let's not talk about this, after dealing with this matter, what do you want to do?" Where to? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "If the diary left by An Ran's mother, no, it should be said that the diary left by Liu Mouzheng is true, and his prophecy is also true, then, I want to take An Ran back to Guannei, go to Chongqing, and then wait for the end of this war to live the rest of my life in peace." ”
Ye Dadao: "That's it? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, that's it, what about you?" ”
Ye Dadao: "Almost, but the Northeast is my hometown, I can't leave here, my plan is, if possible, go into the mountains with Yunfan, find the people of the Anti-Union, and do what I have to do." ”
In this matter, Xia Shuang, who was busy, turned around and smiled at Ye Da.
When Tang Qianlin turned his head to look at An Ran, he found that although An Ran was skewering meat, his attention was on He Chenxue's body, and he knew that An Ran was worried about something and what he was afraid of.
Tang Qianlin's gaze also fell on He Chenxue, he needed a lot of courage just to look at it.
Once upon a time, he told himself that if one day, he could stand calmly in front of He Chenxue, and the lake in his heart would no longer have any waves, then he would really let go.
But at this moment, the lake is still not calm, for the simple reason that he feels that it is unfair.
Why yourself? Why choose yourself? What's so special about you? Why do you want Liu Mouzheng and He Chenxue to be treated like this?
He also didn't understand why Liu Mouzheng was willing to let his women commit themselves to other men in order to achieve their goals?
Nearly ten years have passed, as if it were a dream, and the son he loved in the dream was the biological son of his enemy.
Tang Qianlin was very resentful in his heart, but he was desperately suppressing it, he knew very well that if this resentment continued to expand, he would eventually turn himself into that killer Jinnaro, which would not only vent his dissatisfaction over the years, but also hurt more innocent people.
"There's night too, so after dark, we have to take turns watching." Liu Mouzheng came to Tang Qianlin.
Hearing Liu Mouzheng say this, Tang Qianlin subconsciously raised his head and looked up, it should be the top of the cave, but it was like the ground, there were blue skies and white clouds, and there was also a sun, but there was more than one, there were five, distributed in several different directions, and the location was the same as the five evil stars.
Tang Qianlin raised his head and said, "Why are there five suns?" ”
Liu Mouzheng didn't answer him: "There is no moon here, but there will be five bright stars at night, it should be the five evil stars, after tonight, we still have a long way to go tomorrow, so take a good rest." ”
After they had eaten and drunk, they took turns to come to the river and wash.
The sky soon darkened, and as Liu Mouzheng said, the five suns dimmed, and the so-called sky also became pitch black, and then the original sun turned into five bright stars, shining white in the sky.
Tang Qianlin squatted by the river, while washing, looking at the reflection of the stars in the river.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, He Chenxue also came to the river, sat down about ten meters away from him, and carefully freshened up.
Tang Qianlin squatted there and watched, just like many years ago, in that tiled house, he would sit there quietly every night, watching He Chenxue, watching his wife wash, thinking that it was really a virtue to marry this kind of wife in this life.
He Chenxue realized something, and when he turned his head to look, Tang Qianlin's gaze immediately turned to the river, looking at the vague reflection of He Chenxue in the river.
Look again, you won't see it again for the rest of your life.
At this time, a stone was thrown into the river, shattering He Chenxue's reflection, Tang Qianlin turned his head and looked at Ni Xiaowan who came silently.
He Chenxue packed up her things, got up and left, and gradually walked away.
After Ni Xiaowan sat down, Tang Qianlin asked, "Are you here to tell me the reason?" ”
Ni Xiaowan said: "I have already said the reason, if you still don't understand, I can give another example, if there is a possibility, let you go back to the past, let He Chenxue follow you with all her heart, will you do it?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "How can you go back to the past......"
Ni Xiaowan asked, "I just said if." ”
Tang Qianlin was silent for a while, and finally said, "No." ”
Ni Xiaowan was a little surprised: "Why?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Because people have to accept their fate." ”
Ni Xiaowan smiled: "Uncle Shi, did you deliberately say this to persuade me to turn back?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "What are you going back to?" You've done what you're supposed to do, you've done it, there's no turning back or no turning back. ”
As he spoke, there was a strange singing sound and a faint glow of fire from the jungle on the other side of the river, as if it was some kind of ritual or celebration that was being held here.
