Chapter 62: Bai Xiaocha, you run
There was a group of people on the other side of the gate, and I couldn't tell which ones were from the Wu family and which ones were from Changbai Mountain, after all, I didn't know much about both sides, and I could see that Hu Tianci and Niuniu were there, but there was no Liu Chuannan.
The most prominent one, the woman wearing an indigo high-slit cheongsam and a small white shoulder, should be Mrs. Hu, that is, the eldest lady of the Wu family, Wu Pengpeng.
She looks too young, at a glance, she looks like she is in her twenties at most, with a little powder, a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and she is generous.
Everyone hugged her and walked inside, shouting at the people around her as she walked, and I couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful woman." ”
"Do you mean my mother?" Wu You leaned over and smiled, "I think so." ”
As she spoke, she shouted below: "Kiss my mother, look here." ”
As soon as Mrs. Hu raised her head, she happened to meet the two of us, she smiled at Wu You, and then stretched out her hand to greet me.
I hurriedly shook my hand, very excited in my heart, this is my nobleman, if she hadn't been guiding me the way, I wouldn't know what the situation would be at this time.
"Shall we go down?" I said.
Wu You nodded hurriedly: "Go down." ”
"My mother told you to stay upstairs first and don't go down, there are too many people, so you don't add to the chaos." Wu Yongkang dragged me by the skirt and pulled me into the room.
I wanted to get rid of him, but I was afraid that he would tear my skirt without light or heavy on his hands, and I was struggling with it, and Mrs. Hu's group had come up from the stairs.
"Mom, I miss you so much." Wu You trotted over and threw herself into Mrs. Hu's arms to be coquettish, Mrs. Hu smiled and hugged her, helping her sort out the broken hair that had fallen, and her eyes were full of maternal love, "Of course Mom misses you too, how is it, are you obedient here?" ”
"Of course I'm obedient." Wu You patted his chest and said.
Mrs. Hu pinched her little nose and turned to look at me: "This is Xiaocha, right?" ”
I nodded: "Hello Mrs. Hu, I'm Bai Xiaocha, thank you for taking care of me before." ”
"Don't call me Mrs. Hu, we will all be a family in the future, call me aunt." Mrs. Hu came over, Hu Tianci took out a big red envelope from his arms and handed it to her, she handed the red envelope to me, "This is a meeting gift from my aunt to you, accept it." ”
I looked at the thick red envelope and quickly shook my head: "No, I can't ask for it, I ......"
"Don't you want to recognize me as an aunt?" Mrs. Hu raised her eyebrows, her eyebrow shape was particularly good-looking and charming.
Wu Qiaoyun walked over, took the red envelope and stuffed it in my hand: "Auntie will give it to you, you will take it, and you will have your share every year during the New Year's Festival, since you have entered the door of our Wu family, don't treat yourself as an outsider, Xiaocha, you are my own daughter, understand?" ”
I nodded awkwardly, and a group of people gathered around me to talk non-stop, and the guests below came one after another, filling the dozens of round tables in the open space in the middle of the enclosure.
There were many guests, everyone was busy below, my side quieted down, the makeup artist also withdrew, only Wu Yongkang and Mrs. Hu were left in the room, Wu You was also there, she was already hilarious, and she whispered to her mother and ran down to play.
Wu Yongkang sat in the corner, staring at me in a daze, looking like he didn't care much about anything, his task today might be to look at me, right?
I sat close to Mrs. Hu, and she kept looking at me, with a smile on her lips, which made me embarrassed: "Little ...... Auntie, what do you think of me as this? ”
"You are so good-looking, no wonder Yanagawa Nan was eaten to death by you." Mrs. Hu smiled, her voice was not loud, and her voice was very crisp.
My face suddenly turned red, and I didn't know how to answer this, but she continued: "But the internal relationship of the snake clan is too complicated, if you are together in the future, it is best to move out and live, carefree, anyway, I don't think Liu Chuannan wants to live in Changbai Mountain permanently." ”
I hesitated, but plucked up the courage to say, "However, it shouldn't be our turn to choose." ”
"Of course, you have to make your own choice, as long as you think it's worth it, then do what you want, don't care too much about other people's eyes." She said quickly and decisively, "The emotional matter is your own business, I think Liu Chuannan's lover is worth entrusting for life." ”
I kept my head down, my hands kept wringing, and I actually felt a little helpless at that moment.
In my opinion, only the strong have the right to choose, and the weak can only follow the choices of others.
"Are you scared?" Mrs. Hu asked me.
I nodded: "I'm afraid, because many things are coming one after another, and each one is a catastrophe for me, and I am not ready to face it." ”
"Then you should hurry up even more to Yanagawa Minami." Mrs. Hu spared no effort to instigate, "Because I don't think there will be anyone in this world who loves you more than Yanagawa Nan, believe it or not?" ”
"I believe it, it's just that I've been miserable enough for him, and the people of his family are ......"
"What's the matter with the people of his family? He is your man, he should go to the soup for you, Xiaocha, independence, your mind needs to be independent, you are different from other girls, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, indecisive, bodhisattva-hearted, these will hinder your progress, when you stand on that high place, these can be had, but in the process of climbing up, you have to be self-reliant, to be a big woman. ”
She took me by the hand, led me to the balcony, pointed to the hundreds of people below and said, "See, why are these people here today?" ”
"The Wu family has sent an invitation, and they will definitely come." I replied.
"No, Xiaocha, you're wrong." Mrs. Hu said solemnly, "They came to see you, they want to see why a little-known little girl let the Wu family mobilize the guests of the banquet; They want to see when this girl who is about to carry the revival of the Five Poisons Sect will fall; What they want to see is even how the Five Poisons Sect you represented, the existence of this sect that once flourished and crushed their sect, was dying and struggling, and finally completely perished. ”
"Xiaocha, they don't allow you stage fright, they don't allow you to hesitate, and they don't allow you to fail, once you show retreat, they will immediately trample you under your feet and crush you into the dirt, you know?"
Her words hit my heart one by one, I didn't want to face this, but I understood that the current situation did not allow me to choose, and I had to rush forward.
"I understand your feelings, Xiaocha, you haven't been fully exposed in front of everyone's eyes yet, you can shrink into your own small world and hug yourself, but, wait a little longer, the Wu family will completely push you out, you will never have a chance again, the name Bai Xiaocha no longer belongs to you, it represents a sect, represents the entire Five Poisons Sect, the name Bai Xiaocha can't be poured, once it falls, the demons will dance wildly."
Mrs. Hu said, pressing her right hand on my lower back, her palm was not big, warm, and when I put it up, I immediately felt as if there was a wave of energy supporting me.
"Xiaocha, do you feel it? When you stand in front, there will be a force behind you that pushes you forward, and the higher you stand, the greater this force will be. ”
As she spoke, she pulled me with her backhand, and I leaned back, her hand withdrew at that moment, and she didn't think about helping me at all, I pulled my two hands twice in mid-air, and the whole person fell backwards.
Just as I was about to fall, she reached out to support me, and I grabbed her shoulder tightly with one hand, very hard, and finally stabilized my body.
Frightened, Mrs. Hu said again: "Do you feel it? Since you are standing in this position, you have to stand firm, because you don't know when the forces that support you will bite you in turn, the wall will fall down and everyone will push you, and few people will stand up to you at the last moment, and when you want to turn your head and beg others, in order to avoid being affected, many people will choose to stay away. ”
"So, Xiaocha, you have to be strong, you have to be strong." After Mrs. Hu finished speaking, she patted me on the shoulder, turned around and went downstairs.
I looked at her back, and I had mixed feelings in my heart, she was beating me, because she saw that I was not confident, and at this juncture, such a state of mind was the most unacceptable.
I must learn to endure and be strong in the face of everything that will come in order to live strongly.
And in this process, I need someone who will never betray me to support me, someone who will not leave me at a critical moment, and for me, this person can never find a second one except for Yanagawa Minami.
I once thought about sharing weal and woe with Ji Beibei and going hand in hand, but the reality slapped me hard, I don't know how many Ji Beibei will appear in my life in the future, and I can't prevent it.
"White tea."
Wu Yongkang's voice sounded coldly behind me, startling me, pulling me back from my distant thoughts, I turned my head to look at him, and he was also looking at me.
Then he opened his mouth and said something I didn't expect: "Bai Xiaocha, you run." ”
I looked at him puzzled, and he continued: "You run, run as far as possible, the ends of the world, so that this group of people can no longer find you, I will help you." ”
I still didn't speak, just looked at his eyes a little sour, and he said again: "There are a group of jackals, tigers and leopards below, you can't fight them, and this burden shouldn't be picked by a girl like you who hasn't grown all the hair, you can go, but there is still our Wu family on top, and there is no big deal." ”
I don't look over, my eyes are full of tears, because I have been pushed forward by them all this time, and no one has asked me, Bai Xiaocha, are you willing to stand in the front.
They are all saying, Bai Xiaocha, you should stand in that position, this is your responsibility, you should take it.
Therefore, when Wu Yongkang asked me to run, my tense nerves collapsed suddenly, I covered my face with my hands and squatted down, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and I cried suppressedly.
Wu Yongkang didn't seem to expect me to have this kind of reaction, he was a little flustered for a while, and comforted me clumsily: "Don't be afraid, you girls are like this, crying in fear before you have done anything, it's very annoying." ”
"Don't cry, the Wu family has an authentic tunnel, I will take you out of the tunnel, while the banquet has not officially started, I will send you out of here, the farther you run, the better."
"I ran away, how can your family explain to so many people below?" I asked him rhetorically.
"What do you care about so much? With such a big family as the Wu family, what strange things have not been encountered? Wu Yongkang was not worried at all, "Don't worry, without you, the sky of the Wu family will not fall, and the sky of Miao Jiang will not fall, you are not a puppet or a chess piece, you are you, you should have your own life." ”
Wu Yongkang said very sincerely, I stared at him, and what he said was for me, but I think he also said it for himself.
He is saying that he is not a puppet, not a chess piece, and he does not need the deliberate protection of the Wu family, he has his own life, not being manipulated by anyone.
I suddenly felt that this big boy actually had a lot of things hidden in his heart, and he was very transparent.
"Look at what? Let's go, it's too late if you don't go. He reached out and nudged me, urging.
I lifted the hem of my skirt and looked back at the guests below, in fact, to be honest, I really wanted to go, after all, my ability is very weak, and in the face of such a big battle, I feel that I can't afford to carry this burden at all.
Although the Wu family said that they would help me, although the fox clan and the snake clan of Changbai Mountain have sent representatives over, but in this way, I am even more afraid that I will not be able to do well and disappoint them.
While I was hesitating, a group of people suddenly walked in at the door of the house, and at a glance, I felt as if I had been nailed to the ground, and I could not move my feet.
It was no one else who came in, it was Mo Bai, Ji Beibei hung affectionately on the crook of his arm, today they were both carefully dressed, Mo Bai was wearing a black robe, the hem of the robe was embroidered with strange patterns, colorful, and Ji Beibei was wearing a national costume and light makeup, and it was really a pair of beautiful people.
They were followed by some people I had never seen before, and when they walked in, everyone's eyes were glued, and the Wu family was stunned for a moment before walking over to greet the guests, obviously they were not on the banquet list.
Uninvited, what is their purpose?
Wu Yongkang stood beside me and snorted coldly: "The son of Hei Laosan, the daughter of Ji Wufeng, is really a talented man and a woman." ”
I turned my head sharply to look at Wu Yongkang: "What did you say?" ”
"It doesn't matter what I say, I'll take you away now." Wu Yongkang took my hand as he spoke, and wanted to pull me away.
I shook off his hand and shook my head: "No, I'm not leaving, I can't go." ”
"You stupid, do you have to be a bird to go out and be shot into a hornet's nest before you die?" Wu Yongkang was a little angry.
I shook my head, and turned to look at Ji Beibei, who was already seated, my heart hurt like a fire, she sat calmly beside Mo Bai, one hand was held by Mo Bai, the two muttered something from time to time, and there was no discomfort at all.
She gave me the impression that she was completely different from the kindness, anxiety and even occasional vulnerability she showed when we were alone.
I felt like I was being tricked, through and through.
I hate, I hate myself for not knowing people, I hate myself even more, why am I cowardly!
The Five Poisons Sect is divided into five branches, the three branches of Hei, Cao, and Ji are pressing step by step, calmly and unhurriedly, and we represent the two branches of decency, why are they so cowardly and cowardly, and dare not face them head-on?
Do we really want to let the evil sect trample on our decent faces and crush it fiercely?
No, never!
Think about my grandmother's perseverance, think about my mother's inexplicable tragic death, think about my brother who was put under the living Gu, and after death, he will be tortured and thrown away, think about the unjustified disaster suffered by those villagers in Jiaolongpo, and then think about the injuries of Liu Chuannan......
What reason do I have to run away at this time?
"I won't leave, Wu Yongkang, thank you for caring about me, I'm fine, I can withstand it."
As I spoke, I went back to check my makeup, but fortunately it didn't take any flowers, gathered my broken hair, tidied up my skirt again, and then practiced smiling hard at the makeup mirror.
Slightly raised chin, firm eyes, a smile at the corner of his mouth, with a hint of confidence, Bai Xiaocha, you can, you can!
After all this, I prepared to go downstairs with unhurried steps, ready to meet the ups and downs that I must face in my life.
Before I could go down the stairs, Wu Yongkang sneered behind me: "Strange woman." ”
Immediately after, he stepped forward and arched his arm towards me: "I see that you are very nervous, don't go down the stairs and fall a dog and eat and be laughed at, my arm will be borrowed for you." ”
I looked at him in surprise, knowing that he was awkward, obviously trying to help me, but he had to say it so ugly, I unceremoniously put my hand in the crook of his arm, and then shot back with a smile: "Then thank you for this crutch." ”
Wu Yongkang frowned and glared at me, I couldn't help but continue to laugh, and my mood relaxed a lot at once.
We walked down the stairs step by step, and I understood what that meant, and Wu Yongkang was willing to stand by my side, which is something I should be thankful for.
According to the original process of the Wu family, they didn't plan to let us go down so early, so when I appeared in front of everyone with Wu Yongkang's arm, the Wu family was still stunned, and the eyes of dozens of people at the table instantly shot at the two of us.
Although I have tried to do my own mental construction, at that moment, I am still a little weak.
Wu Yongkang was very firm, without the slightest panic, his arms were so strong, supporting me and giving me strength.
The Wu family reacted quickly, Wu Qiaoyun stepped forward and naturally held my other hand, smiling, and Wu Jinyan had already begun to introduce.
I was buzzing in my head at the time, and I only heard him say 'Bai Jingmei Bai's granddaughter', 'Wu family's righteous daughter', 'Pearl in the palm of your hand' or something, and then, there was a whisper below, Wu Qiaoyun took us to the crowd together, I followed Wu Yongkang, smiling stiffly, unconsciously listening to Wu Qiaoyun's introduction, and shouting people, until I walked to the table of Mo Bai and Ji Beibei, I suddenly came to my senses.
His hands clenched unconsciously, and Wu Qiaoyun said with a smile: "Xiaocha, you should be very familiar with these two, right?" ”
"Familiar, of course familiar." I picked up a glass of red wine on the table and touched the glasses of Mo Bai and Ji Beibei: "Senior sister, senior, thank you for coming to my family recognition banquet, and I also wish you a long love." ”
Mo Bai smiled and said, "Thank you Xiaocha for your blessings, we will definitely be fine." ”
Ji Beibei looked at me with a smile, there was no guilt in her eyes, and she calmly made me want to go up and slap her, and ask her why she deceived me.
But I held back, took a sip of red wine, and moved on to the next table.
I don't know how to drink, the other tables don't have glasses, the red wine comes slowly, and I was quite sober at the time.
When the introduction was over, the banquet started early, all kinds of wine and food were served, and Wu Yongkang took me away.
After returning to the room, I gasped for breath, my heart was pounding, Wu Yongkang stood aside with his arms crossed and looked at me: "I can do it." ”
I didn't speak, and he seemed to be a little gloating: "You have to sharpen your mental quality, if the group of people outside see you like this, hehe." ”
I turned my head to look at him, gritted my teeth, and said, "I want you to take care of it." ”
"Of course I have to take care of it," Wu Yongkang said as a matter of course, "If you chose to flee before, the mountains and rivers will be far away in the future, and we have nothing to do with each other, but you chose to stay and walked into this river and lake, from now on, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, what you do is closely related to me, can I care?" ”
I stared at him stiffly, and I always felt that he had changed too much, and when I first met him, he closed himself in his own world, paranoid, sensitive, like a child; Now his heart seems to have been opened overnight, and the whole person has become calm and unhurried, and a little flat.
I laughed angrily, grabbed his tie, and raised my chin to him: "Then, my good brother-in-law, please take care of me in the future." ”
His eyes were firm, not at all uncomfortable, and even dodged, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Call the righteous brother more life?" Just call the second brother, the second brother will cover you in the future. ”
This sentence of 'brother' made me think of my brother all of a sudden, and my heart suddenly sank, and I subconsciously loosened his tie.
nodded: "Second brother, I'm a little tired and want to stay by myself for a while." ”
"Okay, then I'll get you something to eat later, and I'll call the second brother if I have something." With that, he left.
I don't know if it's because of the wine, but the whole person feels very emotional, lying on the dresser, and his mind is full of his brother's voice and smile.
Brother, I will avenge you, Hei Laosan, Cao Jiugu, I will not let go of any of them.
My head is a little dizzy, my face is a little hot, the red wine is coming up, and I just want to sleep well.
Damn, I'll have to practice my drinking in the future, otherwise I'll really suffer.
I stood up and wanted to go to the bathroom to get some cold water and pat my face, sober up, and when I turned around, I saw a person standing in the doorway.
He stood there, looking at me fixedly, as if a hand was holding my throat, and I couldn't help but choke up.
The steps under my feet were vague, and I ran towards him step by step, he opened his arms and hugged me, and I threw myself into his arms and cried: "Brother, is it really you?" You're coming back to see me, aren't you? ”
