Chapter Thirty-Four: Before Dawn
No matter how long the night is, it will pass, because the dawn is coming.
The long night will eventually pass, but what about sadness, can it only stay in the heart for a lifetime?
There was a period of time before dawn that was darkest and quietest.
When you are sad to the extreme, you tend to become very calm, and it will only appear from time to time in the days to come.
Maybe it's when you suddenly think of someone, maybe when you see a once-unforgettable landscape, or when you suddenly hear a familiar name in someone's mouth, every time it appears, you will feel like you have been pricked by a needle, faint, but very long-lasting.
Tang Qingqing had become very calm, as calm as this long night.
The oil on the wall had burned out, and the wick had jumped at the last and then went out violently. In the endless darkness, Tang Qingqing didn't even blink an eye.
For she knew that after the darkness came, the dawn would come.
She had even thought that if Xiao Ding died like this after dawn, she would bury him in the mountains, under the snow. And herself, let's accompany Xiaoding here to grow old slowly.
She was already tired of this world, but she suddenly met Xiao Ding, it was Xiao Ding's appearance that made her indifferent emotions warm, and once again felt that the world was worth remembering, and now, this person was about to leave, leave her life, and never appear again.
There were no tears on Tang Qingqing's face, all the tears had turned into blood and flowed in his heart.
She hugged Xiao Ding tightly like this, waiting for the dawn to come.
"It's almost dawn...... "Xiao Ding's voice was as thin as a gossamer."
Tang Qingqing said softly: "Well, it's dawn, we can leave here immediately, as long as you go to Shaolin Temple, you will be saved, Shaolin's Da Huan Dan will definitely be able to stabilize the poison in your body, and I will definitely find a way to find the antidote, don't forget that I am Miss Tang of Tangjiabao." ”
Tang Qingqing's tone was very firm, she had to convince Xiao Ding that he could still live.
There was a faint light outside the window, and dawn had arrived.
Tang Qingqing pushed open the window vigorously, and when she looked at the first rays of dawn in the morning, her eyes suddenly became extremely determined.
In the dark night, in the endless pain, she thought about how to accompany him to death, and by this time, she had changed her mind, she wanted him to live, and they all had to live.
Two injured people, in this vast snow-capped mountain, how can they walk to the Shaolin Temple step by step? She didn't care about any of this, even if the poison hair died on the road, even if they fell into the valley together, even if they went out and met those enemies who were chasing them, she didn't care. Because she didn't want to choose to die here.
Even if the chance of life is only 1 in 100,000, she has to try.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the sun is faintly revealing in the east, which is actually a good blue sky.
The air is still cold, and the winter sun can't warm the body, but its dazzling brightness can wash away the lingering haze in people's hearts.
Tang Qingqing didn't care about Xiao Ding's weak reprimand, and once again sent him internal force, she also forgot that this was the first time she used this way to renew Xiao Ding's life, every time she helped Xiao Ding sit up, her chest was in severe pain, she gritted her teeth, and she didn't even hum.
Two lines of tears have flowed from the corners of Xiao Ding's eyes, he is not a person who sheds tears easily, and he is not afraid of facing death. It's just that Tang Qingqing's persistence and sincerity infected him, moved him, and made him more reluctant in his life that was about to end.
After Tang Qingqing lost her internal strength, she helped Xiaoding sit against the wall, and she breathed a little on the side.
Xiao Ding's face recovered a little, no longer so pale, and I don't know if it was because of the sunlight outside the window, or because of the return to the light before he died.
Sand, sand, sand,
Outside the house, there was the sound of someone walking through the snow.
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly, what should come will come.
"I can't imagine that Your Excellency's life is so big, and you can still live at this moment." An indifferent voice came from outside the window.
"Who?" Tang Qingqing was shocked, and hurriedly pulled out his sword to protect Xiao Ding's body.
Xiao Ding said indifferently: "Who else can find here, except for the Bashan swordsman Liu Yunfei." ”
The person outside the window stroked his palm and smiled: "Clever, Your Excellency is really too smart." With the laughter, Shi Shiran walked in outside the door, a gray-clothed long sword, not Liu Yunfei.
Tang Qingqing said angrily: "He let you go last night, I didn't expect you to dare to come to the door!" ”
Liu Yunfei smiled coldly: "Let me go? Where does this begin? I didn't make a move last night, did he get a poisonous needle from Granny Kim? ”
Tang Qingqing choked for a while, she also understood that Liu Yunfei was not lying, Xiao Ding was healing herself last night, although she had already conquered the enemy with one enemy and two enemies, she was also injured, if Liu Yunfei joined, it would be a different situation. He was standing in the corner of the wall, and of course he could clearly see Granny Kim's move from that angle.
Xiao Ding sighed: "Do you never do things that you are not sure of?" ”
Liu Yunfei smiled: "Never! ”
Xiao Ding said with a smile: "In the past, it was rumored that there was also a swordsman in Bashan, who was invincible with seven seven and forty-nine hands and returned to the wind and danced willow swords, if you used it last night, I would definitely not be able to dodge, so why bother with it." ”
Liu Yunfei sneered: "I'm not a Gu Daoist, and I won't dance the willow sword back to the wind, I will only have one swordsmanship." ”
Xiao Ding said: "What kind of swordsmanship?" ”
Liu Yunfei said: "The sword technique of killing." ”
Xiao Ding smiled: "There are many kinds of swordsmanship to kill, but only one is the most effective. ”
Liu Yunfei said: "Which one?" ”
Xiao Ding said: "The fastest one!" Is your sword fast enough? ”
Liu Yunfei laughed and said, "It just so happens that my sword is fast enough. ”
Xiao Ding stared at him and said slowly, "How fast?" Is it fast enough to pierce the throat of Zhao Wouji, the head of Qingcheng? ”
Liu Yunfei also stared at him, and said strangely: "Could it be that the head of Qingcheng has been pierced through the throat with a sword?" "Apparently he didn't know that the head of Qingcheng was also killed.
Xiao Ding smiled faintly: "It turned out that it wasn't you, presumably your sword wasn't so fast." ”
Liu Yunfei sneered: "My sword may not be able to pierce Zhao Wuji's throat with a sword, but it is enough to deal with the two of you at this moment." ”
Xiao Ding smiled: "Maybe, I'm just a little weird. ”
Liu Yunfei said: "What's strange? ”
Xiao Ding said: "I wonder why you don't do it yet." ”
Liu Yunfei smiled: "I'm also a little strange. ”
Xiao Ding said: "What's strange? ”
Liu Yunfei said: "The murderer is not in a hurry, but the person who is killed is in a hurry to die, do you say strange?" ”
Xiao Ding laughed, and Liu Yunfei also laughed.
They said it was strange, and Tang Qingqing felt even more strange.
Xiao Ding didn't look like a person who was about to die of poisoning at this time, and Liu Yunfei didn't look like a person who came to kill people at all.
The two of them are chatting like friends, you say it's strange.
Could it be that Xiao Ding deliberately pretended to do it, so Liu Yunfei didn't dare to make a move? After all, the fear of Xiao Li's flying knife has been deeply rooted in everyone's bone marrow.
But how long will this last? She sighed in her heart, Liu Yunfei would see that Xiao Ding was bluffing sooner or later, and he would make a move sooner or later. And he doesn't have Biluo needles, so he is definitely not his opponent, let alone after being injured.
Xiao Ding said: "There is one more strange thing, since you brought wine, why don't you take it out?" You should always know that two people drink wine is much better than one. ”
Liu Yunfei also smiled: "It seems that Your Excellency is really an alcoholic, and you still want to drink when you are going to die." With that, he threw the wine jug behind him at Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding took it with both hands, and the wine jug almost fell to the ground.
Liu Yunfei said: "You don't seem to be able to catch the wine jug every time, but you won't even have a drop left when you drink the wine, you really look like an alcoholic." ”
"I'm an alcoholic." Xiao Ding unplugged the pot, sniffed greedily, and said with a smile: "Good wine!" ”
When Tang Qingqing wanted to stop it, he had already drunk more than half of it.
Liu Yunfei stared at Xiao Ding and said faintly: "Are you really not afraid of poison in wine?" ”
What he said was exactly what Tang Qingqing was worried about.
Xiao Ding drank all the remaining wine in the pot in one go, smacked his lips unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "If Liu Yunfei wants to kill people, why use poison?" Even if it is poisonous, what poison can poison me at this moment? Haha, haha......"
Yes, at this moment, the poison in his body is no longer solvable, what harm can ordinary poison do to him?
The more Xiao Ding smiled freely, the more Tang Qingqing's heart hurt.
Liu Yunfei also smiled and said, "It's a pity that this wine is really poisonous!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Tang Qingqing said loudly: "Why don't you kill us? ”
Liu Yunfei walked quickly, and his voice came from afar: "I didn't expect you to be as strange as him." ”
Yes, people don't kill her, she still asks why, why isn't it strange.
Liu Yunfei didn't make a move, was it because he had already seen that Xiao Ding would never be able to live?
He said that he never did anything he was not sure of, could it be that Xiao Ding had bluffed him? Then he must wait in the dark, like a hunting hunter looking at a tiger in a trap, will he jump down and tear it apart? All he had to do was wait quietly for the tiger to be so hungry that he didn't have the strength.
Xiao Ding is like a tiger, although he is critically ill, Yu Wei is still there.
Liu Yunfei has time to wait slowly, but what about them? Tang Qingqing suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly: "You say this person is strange...... isn't it?" Before the words fell, a mouthful of blood spurted out from a wordless, dark red blood, one mouthful, two mouthfuls, and finally he couldn't sit still anymore and slowly fell down.
It turns out that the wine is really poisonous, and it is also a very powerful poison.
Liu Yunfei didn't make a move from beginning to end, and the poisonous wine was also what Xiao Ding wanted to drink. Liu Yunfei didn't tell lies, he never did things that he was not sure of.
Tang Qingqing stood there in a daze, like a statue.
She forgot to cry and moved.
She has thought about the scene of Xiao Ding's departure countless times in her heart, she feels that she should be able to accept Xiao Ding's departure, and she has thought about burying Xiao Ding in this group of mountains after he dies, under the snow. She also thought about staying here to accompany Xiao Ding until she was old, talking to him every day and drinking with him, because only in this way can Xiao Ding not be lonely, and only in this way can she live herself.
Maybe she doesn't know that after Xiaoding is gone, she is the loneliest person.
