Chapter 117: Wine meets confidants, chess meets opponents
The man's gaze passed through Baili Jiu, with a hint of sentimentality and coolness. His sharp and deep eyes seemed to penetrate the desolation of time, and looked out into a distant dusty place.
"The two of us have been dependent on each other for many years, do you know, why am I willing to quit and give up to let Nuo'er stay in your Baili Mansion?" He spoke suddenly.
Bailijiu nodded: "I understand your hard work. ”
"From the first day she approached me with ulterior motives and broke into my life, I had never seen her smile so innocently. I thought that if I used my life to block so many swords for her, and did what she liked, bought her the best wine, planted the almond trees all over the valley, and cared for her with the most heartfelt care in the world, she would be a little happier, forget her previous hatred, and live her original life.
It's a pity that she smiled at me gently and perfunctorily, and as soon as she turned around, she could kill fiercely, and the hideousness on her face was undoubtedly telling me that she had never forgotten the pain of the past, and the smile she deliberately pretended to be full of the spicy wine and bitter medicine she had drunk. The peaches and apricots in the valley failed to make her taste a little sweet.
I'm glad she was able to lose her memory, even if she forgot about me and treated me like a stranger. When I see her by your side, smiling innocently like that, jumping and bickering with you, I feel that she is like a phoenix nirvana, reborn once. This is a gift from heaven to her. So, stop trying to uncover her old scars.
In my heart, it is better to deceive her like this than to let her live like a walking corpse. At the very least, I can find an antidote for her and prolong her life, a little pain in her body is nothing to her, and it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the pain she has endured. That's it, it's actually pretty good. ”
"However, if you don't take the antidote for a long time, it will not be good for your own body, and the angry Gu worms will devour your blood, and finally cause your qi and blood to dry up and die!" Bailijiu analyzed realistically, this must not be what Noah wants to see.
"I do!" Tiansha said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you. ”
"How does it not matter? If you do this, you will make Noah live with guilt for the rest of your life. And, once something happens to you, what will Noah do in the future? Don't forget who you are, you are a killer, a killer who is surrounded by powerful enemies, who spends his day with his head on his belt and will lose his life at any moment. Bailijiu was inevitably excited, trying to keep his voice low, not to wake up the people in the room, but his tone became tough.
"I naturally have my own way, give me time, I will definitely get an antidote for her, so that she will be safe and worry-free for the rest of her life."
"Why, so good to her? Is it just because you like her? ”
Tiansha was stunned for a moment, and said faintly bitterly: "I owe her all this." ”
He bypassed Bailijiu, opened the door and walked out, and the cold wind outside mixed with cold raindrops drifted in and hit him in the face. He turned his head to look at Noah's room, and in the flickering light, his hand holding the door frame bulged, as if he was trying to hold back something.
"Aren't you going to see her when you're here?" Bailijiu couldn't help but ask.
The man didn't look back: "Do you want me to see her?" ”
Baili Jiu shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't want to." I hated to put her on the shelf, and I didn't want her to see any man other than me. However, you are an exception, because I admire you, you are a real man, someone who is genuinely good to her. ”
Tiansha raised his head, looked at the dark night sky outside, and sighed: "Actually, I hate to kill you in my heart and replace you." ”
Baili Jiu laughed in a low voice, and took out the generosity of the winner: "Can you enjoy your face and have a drink together, I want to know about her trivial things." Of course, I'm not reluctant. ”
Tiansha touched the sword in his hand: "Then it depends on whether you can win against me." ”
A chuckle overflowed from the tip of Baili Jiu's throat, and he tiptoed to take his sword: "Wine meets confidants, chess meets opponents, I am happy." ”
Men and men have their own way of getting along, and women will never understand why they can still drink and drink all night after a heart-wrenching, even life-and-death fight.
When Noah woke up the next day, he found a muddy Bailijiu, who was drunk in the apricot grove behind the house, and the wine jar was all over the ground. She was angry.
"He's been here, hasn't he? You fought him, didn't you? You drove him away, didn't you? Why didn't you let me see him? ”
Noah clutched the half-cut sleeve in his hand, and after a series of interrogations, he was full of anger and grievance: "Don't you just want me to see him?" ”
Baili Jiu opened his drunken eyes, there was a little wound on his shoulder, it was not serious, it was washed by the smoke and rain all night, and the bleeding had stopped. He remembered that last night, the two drank a lot of wine and talked a lot, and then when they didn't agree on a word, they made a move, and the sword wind raged, cutting down the flowers in the surrounding garden, crushing into the mud, and messing everywhere. The two of them jumped and moved, and they fought heartily, and they were unprecedentedly happy.
He was injured, it seems, Tiansha didn't take any advantage, Bailijiu seemed to have cut off half of his mask, but that night was too dark, and there was not a single starlight, so he didn't see clearly at all, what kind of appearance Tiansha was, whether he looked like a jade tree in the wind, and he liked Nuoya even more.
As for whether his sword left any marks on him, Bailijiu didn't even remember. It was a man who could endure a lot, even if his long sword pierced his chest, I believe that he was afraid of waking up the sleeping Noya, and he would not say a word and exhale the word "pain".
Baili Jiu shook his head, drove away the alcohol in his mind, hugged the angry Noya, and whispered tightly in his arms, still full of alcohol: "No'er, I swear, I will never let you suffer such a grievance again." ”
In a fit of rage, Noah suddenly stopped punching and kicking, and was stunned for a moment: "Seeing that someone is good to me, you finally have a sense of crisis, don't you?" Finally the conscience has been found, isn't it? ”
Bailijiu didn't argue, and nodded: "He said, if I dare to treat you badly in the future, he will kill me, and having such a fierce and domineering uncle is simply scared to death." ”
"Why didn't you call me?" Noah was still complaining, and twisted him fiercely: "It will definitely be difficult to see him again in the future." ”
Bailijiu hissed in pain, but still refused to let go, holding it in his arms, like a rare treasure.
"He doesn't want to see you."
"Nonsense!" Noah was annoyed: "If he didn't want to see me, he wouldn't have rushed back here in such a hurry." ”
Baili Jiu had mixed feelings in his heart, took Noya into his arms, and rubbed the top of her head with his stubble chin: "It's true, No'er, he advised me to take you out of here, never come back, and forget everything about here." ”
"Why? It's half of my life, it's all my memories, why should I throw him away and forget everything about him? ”
There was something sour rolling at the tip of Bailijiu's throat, choking there, not up or down, he thought, how good it would be if he could swallow the bone in his neck.
"If there are some unpleasant things, it's better to forget them."
Noah turned around and looked at Baili Jiu seriously, the firmness and stubbornness in her eyes were so obvious: "You know it all, don't you?" Who am I? Who is he? ”
Baili Jiu avoided Nuoya's gaze, looked at the blue sky that gradually revealed clear colors, and said faintly: "Heaven and earth are absolute, Jiuding Yinuo, he is Jiuding Tiansha, you are Yinuo and the earth." ”
"It turns out that I used to be so majestic." Noah was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself.
"The two of you are the iron-blooded killers who have dominated the rivers and lakes in recent years, and this is your former home."
"Then why am I in the Linlang Pavilion?"
Baili Jiu shook his head: "Your last task is to assassinate the prince, it should be as the guards in the court said that day, you missed, and then you were highly poisoned, in order to avoid the pursuit of the prince's mansion, you accidentally hit and entered Linlang Pavilion." ”
Noah had such a guess in his heart for a long time, and it was finally confirmed: "Then why doesn't he want to see me?" What is he blaming me? ”
"Silly girl," Bai Lijiu gently rubbed her hair, her eyes full of pampering and pity: "If he blames you, how can he be so good to you?" Do you know? In fact, he caught the person who secretly harmed you in Fenglin Temple, and he even went to the prison to save you after you entered the prison, regardless of his own safety. He has done so many things for you behind his back, how can he blame you? ”
Noah still felt a little aggrieved in her heart: "In this case, why is he avoiding me?" I must meet him and ask for clarity in person! ”
Noah stood up: "I'm going to chase him, I don't believe I can't find him!" ”
Baili Jiuyi grabbed her hand: "I promised him to take you back to Beijing and let you forget all the unpleasant memories about here." He doesn't want to see you because he's afraid that after you see him, you'll remember those cruel pasts. ”
"You are not me, you can't understand the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world, forgetting your relatives, helpless, and lonely!" Noah couldn't help but retort: "Why did you make a decision for me so domineeringly? ”
"Noah, listen to me." Bailijiu blocked her way and looked down at her: "Killing people is not a pleasant memory, he said that in your past life, you have always been killing people, you are not having a good time, you can forget, that is a blessing." ”
Noah froze in place, staring blankly at her hands in disbelief.
Baili Jiu's voice became more and more difficult, as if it was squeezed out of his throat stiffly, and every word was torn-like pain, and the blood was shocking.
