Chapter 47: Wishful Thinking
Shui Wuxian pushed Shui Ling'er away, grabbed Xiaohu's clothes, and said, "With your little martial arts, you still want to protect Shui Ling'er."
Shui Ling'er brushed away Shui Wuji's hand and said, "Don't catch him like this." After speaking, he turned to Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, is there anything wrong?"
Seeing that Shui Ling'er still cared about him as usual, Xiaohu smiled and said, "No."
Shui Wuxian said coldly: "Shui Ling'er is already married, she is a married woman, your childhood sweetheart doesn't bless her, and you still want to come and snatch her away, are you obsessed?"
Xiaohu said persistently, "She won't be happy if she follows Situ Jing!"
"Will I be happy with you?" Shui Wuxian thought that Xiaohu didn't want to take Shui Ling'er away for the first time, otherwise when the man in black attacked, how could Shui Ling'er recognize him as Xiaohu, if Shui Ling'er liked Xiaohu and left with him a long time ago, he wouldn't marry Situ Jing.
The first time Xiaohu was asked like this, he was not sure, he said, "At least she follows me, and we can live every day as carefree as in the past."
"Stupid." Shui Wuxian said mercilessly, "Only those who fail will always be shy about the past."
Xiaohu's whole body was shocked, he knelt on the ground weakly, and said, "I am a failure, I grew up with Shui Ling'er, but I didn't expect Shui Ling'er to be snatched away by King Jing who suddenly appeared, how can I accept this."
Shui Ling'er squatted down and said, "Xiaohu, we can still continue to be friends, you can stay in King Jing's Mansion to help like Ah Jiu, so that we can have fun together every day like in the past."
Xiaohu said excitedly: "I'm different from him, Ah Jiu hasn't liked you, but I like you, I can't pretend to be casual and watch you and Situ Jing intimacy, I can't do it."
Shui Wuxian sneered and said, "Nian is Shui Ling'er's childhood sweetheart, you take your people away, if I let me see you again, there will be no forgiveness."
Xiaohu said to Shui Ling'er, "Even if I leave, someone won't let you go, and he will send someone to arrest you again." Rather than letting her be captured by someone else, he took on this task in advance and waited for the opportunity to hide Shui Ling'er.
Shui Wuxian said sternly, "Who?" She is just a princess's concubine, how could she provoke someone to arrest him.
Xiaohu couldn't say because the people in black behind him were all from that person, and he said, "I have nothing to say."
Shui Wuxian said unhappily, "Aren't you just playing with us? Xiao Leng, tie them all up and torture them severely."
Shui Ling'er said in a panic, "Brother, don't."
"Brother?" Xiaohu only noticed that Shui Ling'er and Shui Wuxian looked similar at this time, and he thought that Shui Wuxian was just a guard sent by Situ Jing to protect Shui Ling'er.
Shui Wuxian said coldly: "If he doesn't say it, he will force him to say who wants to arrest you, otherwise we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, which is too dangerous."
Xiaohu said firmly, "I can't say."
Shui Wuxian shouted, "Xiao Leng, grab it."
"Yes."
Shui Ling'er protected Xiaohu and said, "Brother, don't hurt Xiaohu."
Shui Wuxian was silent for a moment, and said, "You don't want me to torture to extract confessions, okay, tie them all up and put them under house arrest, and follow us to the Chu State." The people who want to arrest Shui Ling'er can't wait for Xiaohu's response for a long time, and they will definitely send the next wave of people to come, and then he will torture him to extract a confession.
Shui Ling'er knew that Shui Wuxian had given in, so she could only watch Xiaohu and the rest of the men in black being taken down by Xiao Leng and the other guards.
After Shui Wuxian saw them walking away, he said lightly, "Shui Ling'er, it's not early, go to bed early, and you have to hurry tomorrow."
Shui Ling'er was already tired, and after nodding, she walked to her room.
The next day, Shui Ling'er had already been woken up by Shui Wuji, and after she got into the carriage with sleepiness, she continued to fall asleep and woke up close to noon.
Shui Wuji, who was sitting on the other side, sighed and said, "You can really sleep." The only one who can indulge her like this is Situ Jing.
Shui Ling'er stretched and said, "I'm hungry." She lifted the curtain of the window, and there was only a barren piece of loess outside, not to mention inns and households.
Shui Wuxian took out the two meat buns wrapped in oil-paper and handed them to Shui Ling'er and the kettle, and said, "There is no inn on this road, we will set up a tent and sleep for three days."
Shui Ling'er ate the steamed bun and wondered, "Brother, the country of Chu is so far away, why is your Black Plum Gang business still located there?"
Shui Wuxian looked at Shui Ling'er for a moment, and said, "That's to find you, the former gang leader of the Thief Immortal Gang, Shui Miao, has traveled all over the world, traveled to various countries, and his whereabouts are uncertain, so I have established businesses in various countries, making money is secondary, the most important thing is to inquire where Shui Miaomiao is, as long as I find her, I can find you."
Shui Ling'er was rarely embarrassed by Shui Wuxian, she didn't think that someone in this world would go to such great lengths to find her, and said, "Brother, can you tell me about your father?" It turns out that this is what it feels like to have loved ones.
This is the first time Shui Ling'er has asked him to talk about his parents, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "When I come back from Chu State, I will take you to the grave of your father and mother to worship."
"Okay."
The Shui Wuxian envoy told that although the Shui family was a scholarly family, his father privately founded the Black Plum Gang, and then met the mother who walked the rivers and lakes.
Unconsciously, several hours had passed, and when Shui Wuxian had finished speaking, Shui Ling'er had already fallen asleep on the soft cushion.
Shui Wuxian chuckled, "I slept until noon in the morning, and now I sleep again, be careful that I can't sleep at night." He saw Shui Ling'er sleeping so peacefully, even if she woke up, she was carefree and happy to live every day, he wanted to protect her smile like this, not to be taken away by external affairs.
At night, as expected, Shui Ling'er couldn't sleep, so she came to annoy him and asked him to tell her a story.
Shui Wuxian said unhappily, "How old are you already, and you still want me to tell a story?"
Shui Ling'er said energetically, "Because my brother's storytelling will make people want to sleep."
Shui Wuxian frowned, this meant that he spoke well or badly, and he said, "What do you want to hear?" He has finished telling his father's story.
Shui Ling'er didn't shy away from saying, "The matter between you and Fang Yu." She snickered, her hands clenched into fists and collided with each other.
Shui Wuxian blushed rarely, he turned around and said, "Why do you know?" She's so stupid that people notice it?
"Brother Jing said it." Shui Ling'er confessed: "I told Brother Jing that Fang Yu had a kiss mark on his neck, and he said that because flower thieves ran into Fang Yu's room every night, because Fang Yu didn't mention it, Brother Jing asked me not to say it." She ran up to Shui Wuji and said, "I'm curious, so I came directly to ask the flower thief."
Shui Wuxian thought that it was Situ Jing who found his traces, but it was Situ Jing's palace, if he hadn't noticed it when he went in and out like this, this guard would be too loose, and he said coldly, "No comment." After all, it was just his wishful thinking until now, and Fang Yu was just following his desires, not really liking him.
The person Fang Yu likes is his sister, Shui Ling'er.
