15 suspicions

"What are you doing?"

At noon, when resting in the tea shed he met on the road, Ding Guoguo took the opportunity of Nangong Li's convenience to count the money, but he suddenly came back quietly. She was startled, and hurriedly stuffed the silver two wrapped in cloth into her arms, and said lightly, "It's nothing." β€œ

Nangong Li glanced at her, didn't say anything, and sat down opposite her to drink tea.

There is still less than a month and a half to get to Dingcheng, if there are no accidents along the way, more than a hundred taels of silver should be enough to save a little. Ding Guoguo drank tea silently, thinking in his heart.

Summer is even when there is wind, and it is hot when it blows on people. Knowing that the tireless barking on the tree makes people feel more irritable.

"Damn, it's really not human to be in a hurry on such a hot day! Where did the store die? I didn't see Uncle Ben dying of thirst! Why don't you hurry up and get a pot of herbal tea! β€œ

Under the scorching sun, four or five stout men rode past the tea shed and stopped to rest. One of them, a man with a beard, scolded and shouted to the shopkeeper to hurry up and serve tea.

They sat at the table to Ding Guoguo's left, she was just downwind, and when a gust of wind blew, she could smell a strong smell of sweat. She frowned slightly, and endured.

Nangong Li obviously smelled it too, he furrowed his brows, took the tea bowl, changed the table and sat down. Once he was seated, he beckoned her over.

"Hey, I didn't expect such a beautiful little lady in this wilderness!"

As soon as Ding Guoguo stood up, the big man sighed, stared at her face, and laughed maliciously. She frowned, but she didn't hear it.

"Little lady, don't go! Tell the uncle, where are you coming from and where are you going? The big man stood up and blocked her way, stared at her with a shy face, and said with a grin.

Ding Guoguo didn't say a word, and walked around the table to avoid him.

"Hey, don't be shy, little lady! Uncle accosted you, that's looking at you! The big man, with his long arm, stretched out his long arm, grabbed her by the arm and dragged her along.

"Let it go!"

Before Ding Guoguo could speak, Nangong Li shouted angrily first, and his hand was also pressed on the hilt of the sword.

"Yo! Want to be a hero to save beauty? Just like your fine skin and tender meat, you can't do it! After the big man finished speaking, he laughed. His companions burst out laughing, too.

Nangong Li's eyes lit up, his body shook slightly, and with a flash of sword light, one of the big man's arms was separated from his body.

"Look for death!" Although he had seen Nangong Li's skills, the big man refused to suffer, he tore off the hem of his clothes, tied up his broken arm, grabbed the long knife on the table, and roared and pounced.

Nangong Li let go of Ding Guoguo, flew up, and pierced the big man's neck with a sword. As his sword was drawn, the big man fell limply to the ground, twitching a few times and not moving.

The big man's companion was stunned, and he came back to his senses, shouting loudly, and fled in all directions.

"Don't chase!" Seeing that Nangong Li was about to catch up, Ding Guoguo hurriedly stopped him.

Nangong Li glanced back at her, turned her head, and chased after her in a few leaps.

His eyes! Ding Guoguo covered his mouth, although he was in the scorching heat, it was like falling into an ice cellar. It's occupied by murderous aura.,Cruel.、There is no heat in the eyes... This kind of look, she had seen it in Dongfang Huoyan before!

Ding Guoguo frowned at the corpse on the ground, bent down and grabbed the corpse's only remaining arm, and dragged him into the half-human-high grass on the side of the road.

"Guoguo!"

Ding Guoguo was rummaging through the corpse's clothes, and when she heard the voice, she hurriedly stood up.

"What are you running around!" Nangong Li rushed over and dragged her into his arms.

He hugged it very tightly, and Ding Guoguo struggled uncomfortably, but he couldn't break free. She couldn't help but sigh, let him go.

"I thought you were mad at me and left first!" Nangong Li's chin rested on the top of her head and said in a muffled voice.

She was indeed a little angry, and although this man was hateful, he did not sin to death. Ding Guoguo sighed, "If you kill people indiscriminately in the future, I will really leave by myself!" β€œ

"Yes." Nangong Li snorted noncommittally.

Leaving some silver on the stove of the tea shed, they re-hit the road.

After this incident, Ding Guoguo deliberately kept a certain distance from Nangong Li, and didn't say a word. She couldn't face him as calmly as before. She was scared, she was afraid that she had been mistaken all along. Although she never thought he would be kind-hearted, she never thought he would be so tyrannical. If you get too close, you'll only confuse your eyes.

"You're still mad at me, aren't you?"

In the evening, the two led the horses to find an inn in the town, and Nangong Li suddenly asked out loud.

Ding Guoguo shook his head and didn't speak.

Nangong Li originally wanted to ask again, but seeing her absent-minded look, she could only give up.

The closer he got to Dingcheng, the more calm Ding Guoguo's heart became. It's been so long, why hasn't Ding Ning caught up yet, she is really worried. But now, he can only rush back to Dingcheng as soon as possible to see if he arrived first.

Ding Guoguo was so preoccupied that he couldn't swallow anything, and he couldn't talk more and more, and he often couldn't sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Still worried about Ding Ning? β€œ

At night, Nangong Li woke up and saw her sitting at the table, looking at the oil lamp on the table. He couldn't hold it anymore, got out of bed and sat down next to her, and asked.

Ding Guoguo was stunned, not noticing that he was already sitting next to her.

"Guoguo?"

Her hand was covered, Ding Guoguo came back to her senses, she withdrew her hand, deliberately ignored the annoyance that flashed in his eyes, and asked lightly, "What?" β€œ

"Nothing. What are you doing sitting here without sleeping? ”

"It's okay, I just can't sleep. You go to sleep first. After Ding Guoguo finished speaking, he got up, put on his clothes, opened the door, and walked out.

The night sky was pitch black, thick black clouds were moving rapidly, and lightning flashed in the distance from time to time. One drop, two drops, three drops, and in an instant it rained down.

It was a little cold, Ding Guoguo stood by the door of the backyard of the inn with his arms crossed, looking at the sudden heavy rain, and he was distracted.

There is still a month's journey to Dingcheng, and the road is very safe, so safe that it makes her suspicious. Although she didn't know what the killer of that night was, it was obvious that their target was Nangong Li! In that case, how could they let him go all the way back to Dingcheng safely?

and Nangong Li himself, he knew that someone was chasing him, but he didn't care at all, and his attitude was lazy as if he was out playing... She has been thinking about this for the past few days, but she can't think of a reason.

"Guoguo."

Ding Guoguo came back from his contemplation and turned his head to look at Nangong Li, who was standing a few steps away. His tall figure was sunk in the shadows, and he couldn't see his expression.

"Go back to sleep."

After a long while, Nangong Li sighed and stepped forward to hold her hand.

Ding Guoguo struggled and couldn't withdraw her hand, she raised her eyes to look at him.

Nangong Li smiled softly and leaned over to imprint a kiss on her forehead.

It wasn't even a kiss, but it made her heart pound. Ding Guoguo blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

Gentleness has always been her dead end! She can not care about other people's cold words, but she can't bear to be treated gently by others. Don't be so gentle, she'll fall in love with him! But what about him? Is he genuine? No one could answer her, only the heavy rain mixed with the thunder in her ears.
