Chapter 169: Silence
How so?! As often happens in novels and movies, the eavesdropper is bound to bump into something and be discovered! If you don't do it, you're going to be wiped out next!
When I saw such a vulgar scene before, I often thought that the more dangerous it is, the calmer it should be, I have the ability to eavesdrop, and when I escape, I can't look around carefully!
If you come to this dark grove on a rainy night and hear a suspicious conversation between the goddess you yearn for and a villain, I believe that your heart will be no less troubled than I am now!
Sure enough, with this sound, the footsteps sounded, and Yue Ningmei's figure appeared around the corner, dressed in plain but elegant white clothes, holding an umbrella, his face was as beautiful as the bright moon, and a few strands of hair danced lightly in the wind, which was eye-catching, and for a while, it seemed that the darkness of this night had also faded a little!
Looking at each other, I could see clearly, but there was no trace of panic or wavering in her eyes, if there was any difference from usual, it seemed that there was only a little more chill.
Because, when I saw her gaze, my hands trembled slightly, and I am sure that it was not only affected by the cold wind and rain.
We stood quietly opposite each other for a long time before she slowly walked over and said softly, "Let's go together, okay?" ”
I subconsciously glanced around the corner, but I couldn't ask the words "why is that guy here?" for a moment, and finally turned around and walked slowly up the hill with her.
As soon as I reached the top of the slope, my whole body flashed a numb feeling like an electric shock, and I froze on the ground for a while!
At this moment, a strong wind blew, and the umbrella in my hand could not be grasped, and it flew out of my hand for a while, and I was swept into the night, and I could not catch up.
I was secretly suspicious that I was in such a state of loss of control again, I felt the rain on my head stop abruptly, and when I looked back, it was Yue Ningmei who held the umbrella in her hand between us, her perfect face became close at hand, and a pair of clear beautiful eyes were staring at me calmly.
"You ......," I tried and found that I could still speak, "is there anything you want to say to me?" ”
She smiled faintly and shook her head.
I felt bitter in my heart, I didn't know if it was the frustration of not being able to ask questions freely, or the helplessness of not being able to bear to override the woman in front of me. All of a sudden, a series of images quickly flashed through my mind, all of which were the scenes where she had rescued me.
Even if she really had any so-called "identity" or "purpose", if she wanted to take the life of the Blood Furnace or me, it would have been achieved a long time ago, so why wait until today?
And, as unfathomable as her heart is, how can I be completely honest with her? Even the fact that my Tao Yong's consciousness is now constantly intertwined with Tao Zhihuan's residual thoughts, I haven't told her.
Because of this, I can't ask, and I'm not qualified to ask.
Thinking about it, my body finally slowly recovered, and I raised a hand and shook it, and even began to feel an incredible feeling.
After being stunned for a while, he finally smiled at her and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
With an umbrella in hand, we walked through the wilderness and back to the small temple. No one spoke.
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Shaoting stood up from the fire and said, "You guys are back." ”
"Well, in the middle of the night, I always know whether it's a female ghost or her, so I dare to take it back with confidence!" To reassure him, I collected my thoughts and said jokingly.
"Huh?" The nerd looked a little puzzled and asked, "How can you tell the difference?" ”
I had no choice but to say, "Don't worry about it, the fire is almost extinguished, don't add some firewood!" ”
"Oh," he said, turning to add firewood, and as soon as he was done, he looked up at me and said, "I think you should be in the middle of the night!" ”
After daybreak, the rain also stopped, and a faint layer of morning mist was enveloped everywhere, and as you walked through it, your skin would be stained with a fine layer of water.
I sat in the carriage, but I didn't feel like I could get any spirits. It's not just because I didn't sleep well at the vigil, but more importantly, it seems to be because of a heavy mood.
In fact, I am a very forgetful person, and I rarely carry my troubles for so long without overnight. I immediately realized that it was Tao Zhihuan who was making trouble.
To be honest, I did feel a little sorry for him, not only robbed him of his identity, but also let Du Zifeng go in front of him. How much of his family also had an accident because of this person's hands and feet, so how could he be embarrassed?
But right now, what could be more important than solving the matter of the Blood Rock Furnace? Even if I kill Du Zifeng and part ways with Yue Ningmei, then what?
What I thought in my heart, he knew it very well, so no matter how unwilling he was, he still swallowed it forbearantly, and didn't say a word of questioning to me, but this entanglement in my heart couldn't hide it from me.
And this time the out-of-control phenomenon reappeared, and I felt even stronger than the previous time, and I vaguely felt that it would be a matter of time before I returned this skin to Tao Zhihuan.
After checking the map again, if nothing else, we will be in Buxian Mountain in five or six days. I don't know what will happen when I go, but if I don't try, there's really no other way to put an end to this matter in the Blood Furnace.
And what I will become of myself, I am slowly becoming indifferent. Dust to dust, dust to earth, if I, Tao Yong, are really the life of wandering souls and wild ghosts, then let it go!
After walking for a long time, we finally came across the town, although there was a shortage of east and west, we still replenished some water and dry food, and more importantly, bought some thick clothes, ready to cope with the cold weather in the northeast.
By the time we were ready to leave, the back of our carriage was already full of things, and it was spectacular. I smiled at Rui worriedly, "Buying so much, are you planning to stay here for a long time?" ”
But she glared at me and said, "What do you know?" I asked the locals to buy this, you don't know how cold it is over there, I don't care if you wear less and freeze you into an ice lump! ”
How could I not know? According to the elderly, in fact, by the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, the Northeast was already much warmer, and in the earlier years, it was very common for the temperature to approach minus 50 degrees in winter.
At that time, the three treasures of the Northeast were still ginseng, mink, and ula grass, rather than ginseng, mink, and deer antler as they are now preached. It is precisely because of the fact that the ula grass was a holy product of warmth at that time.
As I looked at the cart, I immediately conjured up the image of a traditional Northeasterner in winter, with thick cotton clothes, furry fur hats, and large thick cotton shoes with ura grass in them.
What a nostalgia! After all this time, I was homesick for the first time. (To be continued.) )
