Chapter 42: Best Partner
On a loess road at the bottom of the mountain, a donkey pulled a cart and walked slowly.
On the cart, an old man wearing a hat held a whip to drive a donkey, and behind the old man sat a young man in gray cloth, and beside him sat a woman dressed as a peasant woman dressed in coarse linen.
Although the men and women in the back leaned together, they didn't communicate much. Only the old man was babbling.
"Don't worry, the leg injury is not so terrible! Just a few years ago, when I was going up the mountain to chop wood, I fell and broke my leg, and the Song miracle doctor in our town cured me. Look at my leg, doesn't it look like it's broken? I said that in the next life, don't be sad, so that your daughter-in-law doesn't feel good when she looks at it. Wait a minute, let's go to the town, I'll take you to see Doctor Song, and keep the little lady's leg intact after half a year......"
Seeing that the old man was babbling endlessly, both of them were a little impatient in their hearts, Ren Chong hurriedly interrupted the old man's words: "Thank you so much, uncle." But I think the old man has some misunderstanding, we are not ......"
Ren Chong wanted to explain his relationship with Ye Chuqing, so as not to ruin the reputation of the girl, but he didn't want Ye Chuqing to suddenly interrupt his explanation.
Ye Chuqing pulled Ren Chong's arm and shook it, shook his head, and then said, "We are not people who don't repay our kindness. When my leg is healed, we husband and wife will thank you for your old man! ”
The old man smiled: "Why don't you feel grateful, who doesn't have a difficulty in life?" You help me, I help you, the days will come, thank you! ”
Ye Chuqing smiled, seeing Ren Chong's puzzled and panicked face, he shook his head with a smile, and stopped looking at him.
She clearly knew that after she escaped from marriage, whether it was the General's Mansion, King An's Mansion, or even the palace, they would look for her. Moreover, there is also a group of killers who don't know the details, maybe they are also looking for her. So, she can only re-create an identity for herself. And right now, Ren Chong is just using it as a cover. An ordinary peasant woman, no one will pay much attention!
But...... I'm okay for the time being, but what about the others? Before leaving, she begged Ren Chong to take her to the place of the incident, and in the valley, she looked at Qiaorong's grave with remorse. Ren Chong still had a heart, buried Qiaorong and the killer, and erected a wooden plank in front of their grave, which should replace the tombstone.
But...... Ye Chuqing looked around, and a burst of desolation welled up in his heart. A girl like a flower and jade was buried in the barren mountains and mountains like this, even if a tombstone was erected, what was the meaning? And who knows?
Ye Chuqing endured her grief and put the white jade inlaid gold lotus pendant she wore around her neck on Qiaorong's grave, even if it was ...... Mourn for yourself! However, no matter what, Qiaorong's death was caused by her, and no amount of remorse and guilt can be exchanged for a living life. However, the dead are gone, and she is still alive.
After worshipping Qiaorong, Ren Chong carried her up the cliff again, and at the place of the incident, he didn't find any trace of the drifting snow at all. There was not even any trace within a radius of several miles.
Although, no news is good news, at least Liuxue may still be alive. But what if she falls into the hands of those killers?
The more Ye Chuqing thought about it, the more anxious she became, but now she ...... She looked at Ren Chong who was supporting her, and then looked at her legs, hey, now she can't even take care of herself, how can she find Liuxue? Unless...... Go to the border and ask your dad and brother for help!
made up her mind, she didn't tell Ren Chong directly, but just said that she would go down the mountain to find a doctor to look at her legs, Ren Chong readily agreed, carried her down the mountain, and met an old man driving a donkey cart halfway, so he hitchhiked.
In fact, after worshipping Qiaorong, Ren Chong once asked her, who is it? But she didn't tell Ren Chong, just asked, "Who do you think I will be?" Or do you think I'm a bad person? ”
Ren Chong shook his head with a smile and said, "No, with my years of experience in walking the rivers and lakes, I know that you are not a bad person, but the person who can be chased and killed by the Soul Chasing Valley must not be an ordinary person!" ”
Ye Chuqing was stunned: "How do you know?" ”
Ren Chong looked confident and replied: "The killer of Soul Chasing Valley, everyone will have a black skull tattoo on the back of their neck, and it just so happens that the man in black who was buried by me has such a tattoo. As for the woman...... Seeing that you care so much about sadness, I guess she should be your maid, dying for you, right? ”
Ye Chuqing was shocked by his insight and analysis ability and took a step back, but forgot that her legs were so inconvenient that she almost fell, and Ren Chong quickly grabbed her.
"You ......" Ye Chuqing looked at Ren Chong in shock and was speechless. It would be terrible if such a person were his opponent.
Ren Chong sensed her sudden burst of hostility from her expression, smiled slightly, and said, "The girl is suspicious?" ”
"Who the hell are you?" Ye Chuqing asked him bluntly.
"The prodigal son is Ren Chong, and the word is long wind." He answered the same as before.
"That's all?" Ye Chuqing still didn't believe it.
Ren Chong said with a smile: "In the next Ren Chong, the word Changfeng, the people in the rivers and lakes call the prodigal son Changfeng, the young owner of Wuliu Villa, and the lay disciple of Master Yihuai of Tianjue Temple." ”
Ye Chuqing's still calm heart was shocked again, she didn't expect to meet someone with such a background when she went out.
Ye Chuqing looked at Ren Chong quietly, wondering if he was lying.
Ren Chong quipped: "Why is the girl staring at her like this? But...... What's wrong? ”
Ye Chuqing retracted her gaze and asked, "You actually told me and Pan, and you were so relieved of me?" ”
"Naturally," Ren Chong replied as a matter of course, "I see that you are somewhat similar to one of my fellow disciples, and you are not like a person with evil intentions." ”
Ye Chuqing said: "Then I'll ask you another question, and you will answer it truthfully." Don't lie about it. Otherwise......" She didn't continue, but a strong killing intent burst out of her eyes.
Ren Chong was still smiling: "Girl, please ask, Ren Chong must tell the truth." ”
"Why did you save me?" Ye Chuqing thought for a moment and blurted out, "Is there any purpose?" ”
Ren Chong replied: "If you don't save yourself when you see death, it is against the way of chivalry." Saving you is just the consistent style of the charlatans, and there is no purpose. ”
Ye Chuqing then asked him: "After saving me, why did you take care of me in every way?" ”
Ren Chong said: "I see that you are alone and seriously injured, so I have the heart to help you." I think I'm a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, I'm floating around, and it's okay to accompany you all the way. ”
"But as the young owner of Misty Willow Villa, don't you have anything serious to do?" Ye Chuqing still refuses to give up.
Ren Chong said with a smile: "I love to wander the rivers and lakes in my life, and I am chivalrous and righteous. My father was helpless, so he let me go out to explore the rivers and lakes, and when I got tired of the rivers and lakes one day, I went back to be my young owner. ”
Ye Chuqing nodded, which was considered to be understood. "But I'm going to go a long way, and you're willing to help me get there?"
Ren Chong replied firmly: "It is incumbent upon me to help others to the end." I wonder where the girl is going? ”
Ye Chuqing smiled lightly: "Well, from now on, we are the best partners along the way." As for the destination...... I'll tell you when we get to town! ”
At this time, Ye Chuqing already had some trust in Ren Chong.
