Chapter 155: Venting
Helian Cheng must be someone who often spends time in the wild, right? The back seat of his motorcycle is like a treasure chest that can find out almost anything.
Now, for example, he has made a small inflatable tent.
"Sleep." It's nearly late at night, and it's getting even colder in the wilderness. If you don't have a little bit of wind protection, you can't completely keep out the cold by just relying on a fire.
After a long day of exhaustion, my eyes were already sleepy, and I was going to spend the night like this, how could I not be surprised to see the tent?
However, I was very hesitant, such a small inflatable tent, at first glance it was a single tent, should Helian Cheng and I sleep in a tent? That's obviously not going to work.
As if seeing through my thoughts, Helian Cheng said: "It's good for you to go in and sleep alone, in fact, I really rarely use this tent unless there are special circumstances, and for a cultivator like me, this bit of cold is nothing at all." A blanket was enough for me to stay overnight. ”
"Really?" I asked with some trepidation, although I also believed that cultivators should be much stronger than ordinary people.
"What's the need to lie to you?" Helian Cheng took out two small blankets and threw one to me, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I don't even sleep much, and I spend a lot of time meditating and practicing qi, so you don't have to worry about me." ”
I was so tired that I was a little delirious, and when I heard Helian Cheng say this, I dispelled the last hesitation and entered the tent.
The small tent is very clean, full of Helian Cheng's unique smell, not only does it not smell bad, but it also smells a little reassuring, I lie in the tent, more relaxed than lying on the bed in Shen Xinglin's house, a hundred times more relieved.
Although I was tired, I couldn't sleep for a while thinking about the events of the day and feeling lucky about myself. It's just that I feel a little dazed that Helian Cheng seems to be busy outside.
It turned out that he skillfully divided a fire into two fires and surrounded the tent respectively, so that there would be warmth from the fire on both sides, and it would no longer be cold and hot at the same time, which made people feel very comfortable.
I covered the thin blanket and soaked in the warmth, and finally fell asleep.
Outside the tent, Helian Cheng's voice came: "Lin Xiaoshuang, can you sleep?" If you can't sleep, can I sing you a nursery rhyme from when you were a child? It was the first nursery rhyme I learned, and I was very impressed. ”
I responded in a haze: "Well, you sing." ”
"Then I'll sing it." Helian Cheng tentatively said a word outside the tent, and then sang loudly: "Mom and Dad go to work, I go to kindergarten, I don't cry or make trouble, be a good boy." ”
Hehe, even though I'm about to fall asleep, I can't help but laugh out loud when I hear such a children's rhyme.
Helian Cheng's voice is so flattering, a simple children's song, he can run away, but it's very cute.
At this time, Helian Cheng was still outside the tent and asked, Lin Xiaoshuang, is it very good, do you want me to sing another song like this... But I couldn't resist this kind of sleepiness under the peace of mind, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of my mouth, so I fell asleep like this.
What a warm and earthy night, and how long has it been since I've experienced this feeling?
You don't have to worry about delaying all kinds of housework, you have to get up early, you don't have to worry about what kind of blame you will receive tomorrow, you don't even have to worry about fear in your sleep, you don't have to worry about anything, you just need to sleep until dawn.
There was no dream all night.
When I woke up in the morning, I was still in a trance, looking at the blue tent roof, but I didn't know where I was for a while. After a long time, I came back to my senses and remembered that I was rescued from the predicament by Helian Cheng yesterday, and then spent a warm and reassuring night. It seems that he has been in a depressive and dangerous environment for a long time, and he has not fully adapted to this peace of mind.
It was quiet outside the tent, I looked at my watch, and slept until almost 9 o'clock, so what was Helian Cheng doing?
He must have left, right? Thinking of this possibility, my heart was entangled for a moment, and I sat up from the tent almost immediately, shouting Helian Cheng's name while getting out of the tent.
However, as soon as I got out of the tent, I was shocked to see Helian Guang and the patriarch standing outside the tent, looking at me with complicated faces.
I wonder why they are here early in the morning? Could it be that after Helian Cheng left, they came to arrest me and take revenge on me? Out of instinctive fear of them, I involuntarily took two steps back, and even the blood on my face suddenly retracted into my heart.
My whole face became cold, but at this moment, a strong arm grabbed me from behind, stabilized my body, and said to me: "Xiaoshuang, don't be afraid. ”
It's Helian Cheng! His voice appeared, and I felt how relieved I was.
I held back my tears, turned my head and saw Helian Cheng's face, only to let out a long breath, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes.
And at this time, it was the patriarch of the Shen clan who took a step closer to me, and without the slightest warning, he suddenly bowed and clenched his fists at me, and said in a sincere voice: "I came here to beg Miss Lin Xiaoshuang for forgiveness." It was my poor supervision of the clan that caused Miss Lin Xiaoshuang to be wronged in my clan. And then... Afterward... It was because I was confused, listened to and believed, and made Miss Lin Xiaoshuang suffer from flesh and skin, and even face the danger of life and death. I know that I am not to blame for all deaths, and I have also been ...... by the Helian clan No...... It is the lesson of Helian Chenggongzi. For the sake of my Shen family's sideline, I am also sincerely willing to protect you, as well as my friendship with Jingyun, forgive me, right? ”
What's going on? I looked at Helian Cheng suspiciously, but found that his gaze did not fall on me, but looked at the patriarch and Helian Guang with some anger.
Helian Guang's face was very ugly, at this time, he who had been high up and bowed to me with a fist, maybe the residual self-esteem made him unable to say anything, after his whole body trembled for a while, I saw that the green tendons on his neck were swollen, and his face was flushed and he held back a sentence: "Miss Lin Xiaoshuang, Helian Guang hereby asks for your forgiveness." ”
To be honest, I'm not a soft-hearted virgin. In the village, the desperate situation of almost being driven to death by them, I still remember in my heart, how can it be so easy to forgive them because of a few simple words?
Moreover, it doesn't matter if you forgive. In my eyes, they are strangers who will never be contacted again, so why should I treat them with no emotion?
But the culprit was not them, but Shen Xinglin, plus I had my own considerations, I didn't say anything to refuse at the first time, but looked at Helian Cheng and asked, "What happened?" ”
Helian Cheng finally looked at me, with a trace of distress in his eyes, and said to me: "Lin Xiaoshuang, I went to the village early in the morning, and I inquired about everything clearly. You're so stupid, why didn't you tell me yesterday? If you had told me yesterday, I would have given you a hard breath. ”
My heart swelled with indescribable emotion. I don't say it, it wasn't originally a very kind idea, but it was out of a lot of concerns.
For example, leave yourself some way out so that you don't completely tear your face. Another example is considering the relationship between Helian Cheng and Helian Guang... It's better to endure all this, so that more is better than less.
But I didn't expect Helian Cheng... I grabbed the corner of his clothes a little harder, and secretly thought in my heart, if there is a future, I must also repay a friend like Helian Cheng with a sincere heart, such a person. In my eyes, he is now as important as the south wind.
The communication between me and Helian Cheng was only short-lived, but on Helian Guang's side, I couldn't bear it anymore, suddenly stood up straight, and said loudly to Helian Cheng: "Brother Cheng, you really don't have to go too far, although my Helian Guang's status in the clan is far inferior to you, but I am more or less the dignified son of the Helian clan." What I do is taken for granted on a daily basis. The only mistake is not knowing that she is your friend. Now, I have apologized to an ordinary person, this is already great sincerity, and an insult to my life, are you still going to give up? ”
"Helian Cheng, it's not nice to say, even if I go back to the master's house, I'm not completely unreasonable. Even if I want to teach a lesson, it is really not your turn to teach me a lesson. Do you really think that the main family is all about supporting you......" Helian Guang's emotions were very emotional, and obviously the act of apologizing to me completely shattered his fragile self-esteem.
In the case of shattered self-esteem, the clay figures still have three points of earthiness, not to mention this high-ranking Helian son.
However, the patriarch of the Shen clan didn't dare to say anything, but just bowed down to me, clutching his fists, as if he couldn't get my forgiveness, and he was going to stand like that all the time.
Helian Guang's roar made me sensitively notice that both he and the patriarch of the Shen clan had bruises on their faces, and there were even blood stains that were completely wiped clean. Could it be that Helian Cheng beat them up?
I can't express the gratitude in my heart at all, the patriarch of the Shen clan is just that, Helian Cheng is wronged for me, even Helian Guang he...
But Helian Cheng was obviously dissatisfied with Helian Guang's attitude, and when Helian Guang yelled, he finally interrupted him: "Enough, Helian Guang!" Why do you take it for granted that you do it on a regular basis?! Do you really remember your identity as a cultivator, and the Dao heart, words and deeds that a cultivator should have?! The world is filthy, and you are willing to join it? ”
"Don't say anything to me, you don't know it's my friend. Even if you don't know? The fact is, my friend has been wronged, and I will get her back, so what if it is not my turn to teach you a lesson? I'm about to teach a lesson, and if you have the courage to go back to the Lord's house, I'll do it. Or, I don't have to go back to the Lord's house, I can notify the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder to come over at any time, and it won't take much time, what do you think? ”
Hearing this, Helian Guang was stunned for a moment, his face showed deep fear, and this time he really didn't dare to say more.
