CHAPTER XXXIII
Mo Ling quietly waited for Qing Zhou to laugh before he heard him say: "Brother Mo Ling is really, as difficult as the rumors say. You said so much, didn't you just want to force me to admit that I was the 'young man' in the mouth of the disciples of the split family, then I would admit it. Yes, I'm the 'boy' who promised to help in advance, how about it, Brother Moling, are you satisfied?"
Mo Ling looked at Qingzhou expressionlessly, and suddenly felt a wave of disgust in his heart, seeing that the other party was unwilling to continue, he had to speak himself: "Since you are that young man, you know that the disciple of the branch family will come today, and I decided to come here this morning, so you will be surprised to see me appear in the canyon." Am I right, Qingzhou. β
"Yes, you're right. Qingzhou's voice was very faint, and he couldn't hear a trace of taste.
"But my companion is not like me, she has long decided to come. Qingzhou," Mo Ling accentuated, "You should have known that my companion was coming to the canyon, but you just deduced that you didn't know, and you didn't show up at the academy in the morning. Qingzhou, how do you explain this. β
"I don't know what, I don't know who you're talking about. Qingzhou replied coldly.
β...... Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and the answer can't be asked. I just don't understand why you didn't show up sooner since you were aligned with our purpose. β
"Because I'm tired of you, tired of the way you speak," Qingzhou paused slightly, "and your tone of voice." β
"It's that simple?" "It's that simple. β
"I thought there was some big dislike between us-" To Qingzhou's surprise, Mo Ling breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out a hand to Qingzhou, "Since it's not a big deal, why don't Brother Qingzhou answer me another question, how about we reconcile?"
Qingzhou looked at Mo Ling's hand and hesitated for a while, as if he was speculating about Mo Ling's intentions. When Qingzhou made up his mind and held the palm of Mo Ling's hand, Mo Ling shook it violently and firmly clamped Qing Zhou's wrist. Qingzhou's heart trembled, and he asked, "Brother Moling, what does this mean?"
The question has not been answered, and Brother Qingzhou does not need to let go in a hurry. Mo Ling smiled a little treacherously, "Brother Qingzhou, you said that you are that 'young man', and you came here to rescue your imprisoned brother." Then let me ask you, what is the purpose of your months of going to the rock wall at the end of the canyon to test the mechanism, and this must not be a preparation for saving your brotherβor is it true that you would have been imprisoned by Mo Si'an a few months ago?"
Before the question was finished, Mo Ling felt that Qing Zhou's hand wanted to break free, so he secretly increased his strength, every time Qing Zhou moved, Mo Ling's fingers were tightly sunk, and the more Qing Zhou struggled, the more desperate he became, and said angrily: "Mo Ling, you go around and around, just to get the answer to this question from me!"
"Since Brother Qingzhou knows my intentions, then please tell me the truth. β
"Okay, okay," Qingzhou said a few "good" words in a row, and the muscles on his face twitched, "Then I'll tell you, because I saw 'that person' go in and out of the canyon many times, I just want to know what he is doing here and what his relationship is with the Mo family, now you are satisfied!"
"That person ......" Mo Ling chewed on these words carefully, and then asked, "What good will it do you after you know the purpose of his coming here and his relationship with the Mo family?"
"Nothing good, I'm just curious!"
The strength in Mo Ling's hand suddenly became a little heavier, "I don't believe this sentence at all, let me ask you again, you know those things, what is the benefit to you." β
"Huh-" Qingzhou cried out in pain, "You let go, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"You say. Mo Ling relieved his strength slightly.
"At first, I was really just, out of curiosity," Qingzhou gasped and said intermittently, "at most, I thought that if I learned any private information, I could sell it to, sell it to someone who wanted it." β
"Sell?" Mo Ling frowned, "Who would want this news?"
"Like your master. "And you're not the only one working for him. "......" "I ask you who else you are, and who have you been eyeliner!"
"No comment. Qingzhou looked away, his voice a little weak.
"What do you mean by having no comment," Mo Ling grabbed Qingzhou's coat and pushed Qingzhou against the stone wall of the cave, "Do you know your current situation!"
"Of course I do. Qingzhou looked at Mo Ling, raised the corners of his mouth weakly, and the struggling ** seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant, "You are not the only one who has forced me to ask me like this, but no comment is no comment, I can't help you." β
"You're not helping me, you're helping yourself. If you tell me these things, I won't spread them. β
"Everyone says that," Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Moling, you're so young. β
"You ......" Mo Ling didn't expect Qingzhou to react like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Brother Demon Ling," Qing Zhou's tone slowed down significantly, "I call you Brother Demon Ling, in fact, I should be older than you, looking at Brother Demon Ling's appearance, at most no more than twenty years old, maybe only eighteen?"
Mo Ling stared at Qingzhou, not knowing what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, but moved his lips and didn't speak.
"Isn't it even eighteen?" Qingzhou's face was full of surprise, not like he was pretending, "This is really ...... Heroes are teenagers, hahaha......"
Qingzhou laughed for a while before he stopped, "When I was eighteen years old, I escaped from Mirror Mountain and came to Qinglong City in despair. At that time, I had no coils on my body, and I was so hungry that I had to steal and rob it, but I was unlucky, I was caught and beaten half to death, and I lay on the side of the road for a day and a night without anyone to take care of me, and I almost became a starving ghost to see Hades. Qingzhou retracted his distant gaze and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Later, I often thought that it was better to starve to death at that time, so as to save the hardships of life in the future." β
β...... Who helped you?" Mo Ling didn't know why Qing Zhou suddenly talked about the past, but since he was willing to speak, he might as well listen to what he had to say-So Mo Ling let go of Qing Zhou's clothes, but still firmly clamped Qing Zhou's wrist.
"It's a long story - do you have a thousand days of drunkenness, I want to take a puff. Qingzhou saw Mo Ling's half-believing expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "The addiction is coming, and I can't control it." β
"Yes, yes, but not much. Mo Ling took out a small paper bag from his bosom, which contained the small amount of Thousand Days Drunk that had been left over from before. Seeing this, Qingzhou grabbed the paper bag, put it under his nose and took a sharp breath, closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, smacking the taste: "It just happens to be the one I often smoke." β
"I was drunk for a thousand days, so I can go on. Mo Ling urged.
"Brother Moling generously gave away a thousand days of drunkenness, how dare I not appreciate it. Qingzhou smiled and put the paper bag into his arms, blinking his eyes constantly, and his expression seemed a little confused.
Mo Ling looked at the strange brightness in Qingzhou's eyes, and didn't know whether to worry about him or not, it was a pity that the herbs that should have been used to calm the mind had become a poison that paralyzed the mind.
"Just when I was dying, someone reached out to me," Qingzhou leaned against the stone wall, tilted his head, revealing a lazy look, "He took me to the restaurant and invited me to eat and drink, not only that, but after eating and drinking, he also told me that if I wanted, he could send me to the Tianzi Pavilion to study." β
"Is there such a good thing?" asked Moling, confused.
"I also didn't understand, I felt that I had met a good Samaritan, so I agreed without thinking about it. Later, I learned that he asked me to go to Tianzi Pavilion to be his eyeliner. β
Hearing this, Mo Ling suddenly thought of the Southern Dipper, could it be ......
"I guess you guessed it," Qingzhou grinned and laughed at himself, "That person is your master, no, he should be the one who works for your master." By the time I realized his ulterior motives, it was too late. β
"Why do you say that, do you have any tricks in his hands?" asked Moling.
"Isn't it obvious," Qingzhou pointed to his chest, "This is it." When I first received an order from your master, I also thought about fighting, but my body was not angry, and I needed a thousand days of drunkenness to nourish me no matter what. This kind of thing, there is a first time, there is a second time, and over time, I also fall deeper and deeper, and today, I no longer expect to be able to break free from the clutches of a thousand days of drunkenness. β
Hearing this, Mo Ling shuddered a little, although he has no dependence on a thousand days of drunkenness, but the identity of Mei Yu is a handle that falls on the hands of Nandouxing, if one day, Nandouxing lets him do what he doesn't want to do, will he compromise like Qingzhou.
"Have you ever regretted doing these things against your will for him? Mo Ling then asked.
"Of course I regret it, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about it, and it wouldn't be bad to starve to death on the side of the road in the first place. Qingzhou chuckled softly, "But this is just talk, even if I have to do it all over again a thousand times, I'm afraid my decision will not change-it is difficult for people who are cornered to resist that instinctive impulse." Just like I can't resist the temptation of a thousand days of drunkenness now. β
After a pause, Qingzhou continued: "In the past, I often complained about the injustice of fate. Brother Moling, have you ever thought that everything in the world is against you, and all bad things will happen to you, but you still have to endure it?"
"Perhaps, I don't remember exactly. β
"It used to be something I did every day. In the quiet night, blowing the cool breeze, inhaling the fluttering thousand days of drunkenness, complaining about the unfairness of the world, I can sleep peacefully after doing these things. But something I learned recently changed my opinion, what the world, what fate, is all nonsense. β
"What's the matter?"
"That's-" Qingzhou gritted his teeth, trying to calm down the agitated and uneasy state of mind, "From the time I escaped from Jingshan back then, to the time I entered the Tianzi Pavilion to make eyeliner for people, all of this was arranged!"
