The Left Hand of the Demon Chapter Ninety-Seven: Gain and Loss
As soon as Yue's voice fell, Hu Er cried out bitterly in his heart.
It's just a few words, it's better not to say it.
If he really brought these words back and told the Lord, the Lord would probably have the heart to kill him.
It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.
The next time he said anything, he wouldn't go up with the Lord.
Not only does it take physical strength, but I also have to take care of the Lord in fear, and this time there is an extra girl from the Lord.
It's better to stay in Yi Ri and eat and drink well and sleep well.
Hu Er was angry, but Yue insisted on refusing to speak again, and he was really reluctant to come, so he had to leave reluctantly.
"Coming back?"
As soon as Koji stepped into the courtyard, he heard a voice with a smile on his face.
Looking up, it was still the same old position, and the two of them drank again.
But this time it was Mr. Yong who spoke.
Mr. Yong is still the same old look, his gentle and kind face has always been kind, and even his voice seems to be smiling, as warm as spring.
But the punishment opposite him was not so warm.
Not only is it not warm, it is even colder than the ice peaks of the far north.
He just glanced at Xing's face, and the temperature around him seemed to plummet by ten degrees.
"I heard that you are leaving tomorrow, so I have come to have a few drinks with the Lord."
"Where did you go?"
Before Hu Er could answer, the cold voice of the torture had already sounded.
As soon as he thought of the words Fang Caiyue left for him, his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to make up a lie, but before the words came out, he felt that the eyes of the torture had already shot like ice knives.
“。。。 I went to the dance hall and told the girl that we were leaving tomorrow. ”
"And then? What did she say? ”
The sentence pretended not to care, but in the end he still asked. But seeing Hu Er's expression suddenly showed, he smiled extremely brightly, but the smile was really weird.
She said... I'm reluctant to go to the Lord. ”
"Tell the truth!"
He slammed the wine glass on the table, and asked Hu Er very harshly.
She said... She said... ”
"What are you doing? Truth be told, I won't eat you again. ”
She said... Wishing us a safe trip... ”
Hu Er almost squeezed these words out between his teeth, and kept peeking at Xing's face as he spoke.
But after hearing the punishment, he fell silent, and his originally gloomy and cold face slowly turned out to be as if a crack had been chiseled in the ice.
Still cold, but not so stiff anymore.
In the end, even Hu Er couldn't count how many indescribable expressions there were on his face.
Amazement, bitterness, relief, and more that are completely indescribable.
Amber waited tremblingly for a long time, but the punishment didn't mean to open his mouth at all, and finally Mr. Yong gave him a look indifferently.
Hu Er walked towards the room step by step, only to see that under the cold moonlight, Xing Zheng poured wine into his mouth one cup after another.
It was as if it wasn't a spicy liquor at all, but glass after glass of water.
But Mr. Yong just accompanied quietly, taking a sip by himself, neither dissuading nor following the rhythm of the Lord, but just kept pouring wine for the Lord.
How many years have it been.
The Lord has always been alone and drinking to the moon.
Except for Mr. Yong, there was no one on the other side of him.
But Mr. Yong is in Yudu all the year round, and even such opportunities for consideration are rare.
Even when they sat together, they didn't talk much.
Most of them were like today, one was bored and drunk, and the other was sticking to his own pace.
It's really boring.
Even so, it is better than the Lord drinking alone and hanging on to each other.
There were many people who wanted to accompany him, but no one approached him.
Not even a few of them who have been with the Lord since childhood.
The longer you follow, the more you understand.
I guess there will never be anyone in that position next to the Lord.
Until the girl appeared.
She's not beautiful.
At least compared to the Lord, she was only pleasing to the eye.
But the beauty of the Lord is too great, and it is as bright as fire, and it is extremely dazzling.
The girl is just the opposite, at first glance it is bland, then it is pleasing to the eye, and then it is pleasing to the eye, and it is in her heart after three looks.
Just imagine the picture of the two standing side by side, and you will feel that it is really a match made in heaven.
In the past, I saw a lot of pictures of the Lord alone, and I didn't think there was anything wrong.
But now I find that no matter what I cut out of that picture, it is all incomplete.
A mutilation that no one else can replace.
Only when those two stand side by side is it complete.
The rest is mutilated.
But the two didn't know what was going on with each other, so they had to torture each other like this.
Not only did the two of them suffer, but even others saw it, and it was very bitter and unspeakable.
If this is love, then he might as well live with Amber and live for the rest of his life.
After Hu Er left, Yue lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She hadn't rested for a day and a night.
His eyelids were heavy and he couldn't lift them, and his body was as if he had been run over by countless carriages, which was sore and painful.
But she still couldn't sleep.
It's like there's a thousand donkeys grinding in my head.
Countless roulette wheels rotated and rubbed, making 'crunch' and 'crunch' grinding sounds, constantly grinding her nerves.
The mind was obviously exhausted, but the brain was still running rapidly.
Countless thoughts came one after another, but they were suddenly far away, like countless chaotic points of light flashing in my mind.
She couldn't catch any of them.
Who said counting helps you fall asleep?
But she couldn't even count a hundred, and those chaotic points of light would come back and occupy her mind again.
She was always involuntarily pulled by one of them, and then she tossed and turned, and flew up and down.
When she came back to her senses, she had long forgotten where she had just counted.
We have to start all over again.
Even 'I need to sleep', this constant self-suggestion has no effect.
In the end, he could only surrender, and his mind kept following those points of light tumbling and surging.
Until those points of light finally gradually fell silent, froze into a sentence, and then completely reduced to a dark silence.
He's leaving tomorrow. ’
She fell asleep in a daze, but these seven words remained in the depths of her mind and refused to fade away. Until she woke up, the morning light had already shone through the window into the curtain.
She sat up abruptly and put her hand on her forehead, only to find that the clothes on her body were already soaked with cold sweat, and she was showing a slight coldness.
She had almost forgotten how she had left the Qiwu Building, and by the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the upper floor of the Wuren Pavilion.
As soon as the sleepy-eyed man opened the shop, he saw a woman with a pale face and swollen eyes standing outside the door, and he almost jumped in fright.
When I saw it clearly, I realized that this was the woman who came to the building early yesterday morning and sat alone all morning.
It's really strange, this woman has to order several plates of dim sum every time she comes, and she sits for a morning, and every time she comes alone, I don't know if she really likes their dim sum so much, or...
Although her appearance is very suspicious, since she is a guest who comes to the door, there is no reason to rush out. So after the guy was completely frightened by her, he still welcomed her in tremblingly.
On a normal basis, Yue might have noticed the guy and the shopkeeper muttering and looking at her suspiciously. But today, she has neither that mind nor that energy.
The whole person is like a string that has been tightened to the extreme, and the slightest carelessness will completely lose balance.
The only thing she needs now is rest.
But this is the last thing that can be done.
He's leaving today.
Just thinking about it, I can't calm down at all, and I can't talk about rest.
That's why she held on and floated to Wuren Pavilion like a ghost.
Naturally, it is not because the dim sum here is delicious, but because it is very close to the north gate, and as long as you sit upstairs, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire people coming in and out of the north gate.
She didn't know which gate he would leave, and he might not even choose to go through the city gate at all.
But if he wants to choose to go through the city gate, then the north gate, which is the most crowded and crowded, is undoubtedly the best choice.
The light on the horizon was getting brighter and brighter, the sun was already half showing its head, and the old and old gate finally opened, and all the people who had been waiting for a long time poured in.
It turned out that it had just arrived, and a new day had just begun.
The huge Wuren Pavilion was empty, and she was the only one sitting upstairs watching out the window.
The chef of Wurenge was just about to go out to buy the ingredients to be used today, although the shopkeeper was surprised, he still respectfully invited her upstairs, and said that he must invite her to taste the first hot dim sum today.
She was like an uninvited guest, so out of place with everything around her.
She was originally a guest.
Whether it's for Wuren Pavilion, or for the city and the people here.
No matter how long she lived here or what she did, she never found the slightest sense of belonging.
They, whether they are dead or those who are intertwined with her life, even Xiao Wei, who has not been back for seven years.
They all belong here, and what they have, whether it is laughter or tears, carries the temperature of memories.
And she had nothing.
This kind of feeling can probably only be experienced by punishment.
Even he may have a place waiting for him to return.
But here, just like her, he was just a stranger who could never belong here.
No matter what kind of whirlpool you are in, you are like a calm and indifferent bystander.
She couldn't even tell anyone that at this moment, the loneliness that seemed to sink into the deep sea had completely enveloped her.
Even he's leaving.
Gaining and losing is the most terrible thing, and I would rather never taste what it tastes like.
