Chapter 31: The Confused Boy

The dust drifts in the wind, the dead leaves are colorful and scattered, and the afterglow of late autumn is lamenting the departed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

If I could be braver, if I could abandon those confusions, if I could be determined to let go and kill the enemy, would the outcome change?

Liuyun stood silently in front of the mounds, his eyes full of remorse and confusion. He gazed at the mounds, and vivid faces emerged, and now reality had washed away the memories, and the owners of those faces had all been buried here, and they had passed away.

His ears seemed to be echoing with the laughter of last night, which was Uncle Mo, who loved to tell jokes the most. His daughter, who is seven years old, often shows off in front of others, and says that after this run, he will stay at home with peace of mind. But now, his expectations will never come true.

Am I wrong?

Is it because of my cowardice that they will die?

If I could overcome myself, would they still be alive to talk to me today?

......

Liuyun asked himself again and again, but no one could answer these questions, only the silent west wind continued to howl, as if playing the melody of parting...

"Sand, sand", the sound of stamping on fallen leaves sounded behind the artesian clouds, but this did not attract his attention, he just stood like a stone statue, not saying a word and not responding.

"That's what I do, pin my head to the waistband of my trousers, maybe it's okay today, but tomorrow it'll be gone..."

didn't care about Liuyun's ignorance, and the owner of the voice continued: "Old Mo, you don't have to worry about the situation at home, this time I knocked a lot of consolation money from the coward's hand, and I will send it to my sister-in-law when I go back." ”

"Guo Changjiao, don't you always complain about running around every day, exposed to the sun and rain? ”

"Ji Dazui, you always don't talk nonsense about everything, now it's okay, you are right. I see that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, you must like it, and there are a few brothers with you, you will not be lonely. ”

"And Guzi, brother, I really can't find you, so I got you a piece of land here, I hope you don't mind. ”

At this point, the voice stopped. At the same time, there was a "pop", and then the voice continued: "Tomorrow is about to leave, take this opportunity, our brothers have a good drink." ”

Looking at the figure who was approaching the grave and pouring wine, Liuyun, who had listened to it for so long, couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zheng Yue, don't you blame me?

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Yue interrupted him, "Little Brother Liu, what are you talking about." You're alone against a fifth of the people on the other side, and if it weren't for you, there would have been more casualties. ”

"But, but I can do better and save more people!!" roared out of his mouth with a little excitement.

When Zheng Yue heard this, he paused for a moment, and then poured the wine. He turned his back to Liuyun and said calmly: "According to your words, if Wei Ping had hired more people, would the current situation have been avoided? If I hadn't chosen to go here, would they have survived? If the government had worked hard to eradicate banditry, would the current tragedy not have happened? However, there are not so many 'ifs' and 'buts' in this world. ”

After speaking, pressing the cork back to the wine bag, Zheng Yue turned around, looked directly at Liuyun with slightly bloodshot eyes, and continued: "If you regret the past, you will work hard in the future." If you are not satisfied with your cowardice, then be strong from now on. That's growth, isn't it?"

Zheng Yue said as he came to Liuyun. He reached out and patted Liuyun on the shoulder, and finally left, "You've done well enough." The caravan still had a lot to attend to him, and even with a master like the drunken man in charge, he wouldn't forget his job.

Liuyun watched the back fade away, but he himself didn't move, his brows furrowed and sometimes relaxed, not knowing what he was pondering.

......

It was night, the cold wind was blowing, the moon was hidden and the stars were breathing, and Liuyun sat alone by the fire to keep vigil.

This time should have been in charge of the other two, but the person who should be there is not there now. Zheng Yue originally planned to draw a few people from the caravan to take turns on duty at night, but Liuyun insisted that he be alone tonight. After a series of negotiations, it was finally decided to let Liuyun stay in the first half of the night and replace him in the second half of the night.

At this moment, the firelight covered Liuyun's childish face, and the sparks that burst out from time to time dissipated in front of him, and Liuyun just stared ahead in a daze, with a look of indifference.

Xiao Li shrank on him, intending to warm Liuyun's body and mind with his small body, but it didn't seem to have a good effect. In this regard, Xiaoli could only whisper a few times, rubbed Liuyun's cheek, and then continued to accompany him in a daze.

Liuyun felt Xiaoli's movements and didn't interact with her as usual. He was now more confused than ever, and countless thoughts were mixed together in his mind.

And the scriptures that are usually tried and tested have now lost their effect, to be precise, it is Liuyun who took the initiative to let it die down. Because at present, he doesn't want to understand those big truths, and he doesn't want to silence his heart, which will make him feel very ruthless and cold, not like a flesh-and-blood human being.

At this moment, a drunken voice disturbed his thoughts.

"Hiccup~~ Little brother, what a Yaxing, enjoy the moon here..."

Liuyun listened to a drop of sweat, how can there be any moon tonight, not even a star. But at the same time, he also knew who it was. Looking back, sure enough, it was the middle-aged drunk, no, it's time to call him a "drunkard".

Seeing the drunken guest, Liuyun had a flash of inspiration in his mind. In the afternoon, he learned from others that it was the man in front of him who had severely injured the leader of the Black Eagle Village, causing them to retreat. And it can also be known from the words of the lone owl that this drunkard should also be quite famous. So, can I find him to solve my doubts?

Thinking so, Liuyun looked at the drunk guest hopefully and asked, "Drunk... Uncle, why is the killing?" Liuyun was going to call the drunken guest, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt awkward, so he changed it to the usual name, and the other party didn't think about it.

Of course the drunkard didn't care about that, otherwise he would be the sloppy he is now. Hearing Liuyun's question, although he was a little clueless, he still understood, after all, he had similar troubles when he was young. However, it is not his style to answer seriously.

Taking a sip of wine, the drunken man pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "The moon is so round." ”

"Uncle Drunk, where did the moon come from on a cloudy day? No, answer my question quickly. Liuyun was almost led astray, but fortunately, he was very concerned about this question, and immediately brought the topic back.

"Hehe, isn't it just behind the clouds?" replied the drunken man with a grin.

"Can you see the back?" Liuyun asked without thinking, but the next moment he suddenly remembered that this was not something he should care about. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the drunkard's words.

"Hiccup~~~ I can see it clearly in my heart. The drunk guest seems to be talking drunk nonsense, but in fact, he is mentioning the "dark clouds" in his heart, pointing directly to his heart, and having a clear conscience.

However, Liuyun didn't understand, and thought he was really drunk. But Liuyun didn't want to give up lightly, so he changed the question: "Uncle Drunk, why didn't you kill that lone owl?"

Liuyun asked this question to find out something. At the same time, this is also a doubt in his heart, since this drunken guest is so powerful, why should he spare the other side, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain. Or is he, like himself, worried about whether to kill or not to kill, so he made such a choice?

But the drunkard's reply was destined to drive him crazy. I saw the drunken man shake the wine bag in his hand, and Feng Ma Niu said indifferently: "I prefer to pour the whole bag like this than to drink it one bite at a time." With that, he staggered towards the horses a little farther away.

When Liuyun saw this scene, he felt for the first time that communication between people was so difficult. He dared to gamble five cents, this drunkard must be like this to find a partner. However, he couldn't watch the other party get on the horse, so he immediately asked, "Uncle drunk, why are you going?"

"Hiccup~~~ Find a friend to catch up. With a hiccup, the drunken guest moved on.

Liuyun was not very relieved about the other party's state, at least in his opinion, the drunk guest was now delirious. In order to stop him, Liuyun hurriedly ran to his side, his hands reaching out, ready to grab his shoulders. Unexpectedly, the other party happened to avoid it.

Liuyun didn't care, and fished down with both hands. Unexpectedly, he was dodged by a side slide that seemed to be unsteady on the other side.

This obscene cloud can be regarded as seeing some clues, and I can't help but have some doubts: Is this guy really drunk or fake drunk?

Thinking in his head, the movements of Liuyun's hands did not stop, and his left and right hands accelerated to grasp their respective targets.

Suddenly, the drunken guest changed his previous side-leaning posture, turned around in a circle under his feet, and at the same time his hands came out, and before Liuyun could react, he grabbed his wrist.

Liuyun only felt numb in his hands, and his arms were unconscious. It scared him, he had never met an opponent who could easily subdue him. Even if you didn't do your best before, you won't be defeated so quickly.

Before he could be surprised, the sky swirled, and the clouds were thrown on horseback. And Xiaoli had been curled up in his neck before, and now she is also on the horse. Fortunately, her body was lightly encircled, so she did not fall off during the "flight".

It's just that the current Xiaoli is extremely annoyed and bars her teeth at the drunk guest angrily. However, as she is smaller, she does this action, not only is not fierce at all, but it is cute. If a girl saw her, her eyes would be red, crying and shouting to take her home.

However, the drunken guest is not a little girl. Ignoring Xiaoli's dissatisfaction, he untied the rope in three or two steps and got on the horse. Before Liuyun could figure out the current situation, he had already ridden out, and muttered: "One more person to visit, the better." ”

As for Liuyun, who was lying on horseback, he wanted to cry without tears, and he still didn't know what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. However, he didn't look like this drunk customer was really confused, so he made up his mind to find out, at least it was worth the "ticket price", and he couldn't suffer this crime in vain.

Quickly adjusting his body, Liuyun straddled the horse and shouted towards Zheng Yue's tent: "Brother Zheng, I'll go out with Uncle Drunk for a while, don't worry~~~"

Hearing the sound of flowing clouds, Zheng Yue hurriedly got up and walked out of the tent, and finally saw a horse in the dust, quickly disappearing into the distance.

In this regard, he just sighed, and was not worried, after all, those two people are strong in martial arts, and there will be basically no mistakes. If there is something they can't solve, it probably won't be of much use to put it together on their own. Zheng Yue sighed, for tonight's night duty, it seems that he can only temporarily replace him...
