Chapter 116: Cruel Memory
"Ahem, ahem!" Xue Ning immediately lifted her head out of the water, knelt on the ground and coughed violently.
Xiao Chengfeng immediately walked up, grabbed Xue Ning's arm and lifted the person from the ground.
"Do you want to suffocate to death?" Xiao Chengfeng reproached.
Xue Ning's forehead hair was soaked, and the tip of his nose was red, as if he had been frozen by the stream.
"Uncle Shi, why are you here?" Xue Ning was a little flustered, not knowing when he arrived.
He didn't hear all the broken thoughts she was venting here alone just now.
Suddenly, my heart was bottomless.
Xiao Chengfeng said, "What are you doing with your head stuck in the water?"
"My face is a little dirty and I want to wash it." Xue Ning lied and didn't make a draft.
Xiao Chengfeng was a little speechless, he had lived for so many years, and he had never seen such a facewash.
Seeing that there were still water droplets on Xue Ning's face, Xiao Chengfeng shook his head helplessly, "Wipe your face clean."
Xue Ning immediately wiped it with his sleeve twice before cautiously asking, "Uncle Shi, how long have you been standing here?"
"Just here."
Hearing that he had just arrived, Xue Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't hear it.
"Why don't you go and guard Miss Chu Yao, what are you doing here?" Xue Ning asked.
When Xiao Chengfeng heard this, he always felt that his heart was in his heart, but he couldn't find anything wrong.
"She's not a child, so she doesn't have to be guarded at all times, but you disappeared all afternoon, and you didn't expect to hide here, and you didn't go back with me?" Xiao Chengfeng said
Xue Ning was surprised, she thought that Xiao Chengfeng had an extra Chu Yao girl by his side, so he wouldn't have time to care about others.
"So, you came out to find me?" Xue Ning asked.
"Or else?" Xiao Chengfeng glanced at her.
Xue Ning's heart, which was still a little sullen just now, was suddenly healed by this sentence.
It seems that Xiao Chengfeng still has a little conscience, and he ran to get blood for him to save people in vain.
"Let's go, let's go back." Xiao Chengfeng urged.
But Xue Ning didn't move, but looked at Xiao Chengfeng solemnly, "Senior Uncle, don't you really plan to tell me about Miss Chu Yao?"
Xiao Chengfeng's gaze immediately precipitated, and his eyes were resentful, as if he didn't want to start the topic.
Xue Ning looked at him directly, as if he wanted an answer.
The air suddenly cooled down, the crisp sound of water pulsed in the ears, the cold wind blew through the hem of the two people's clothes, and the green branches and shadows of the trees swayed slowly.
Xiao Chengfeng saw that Xue Ning was so persistent, so he asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to know?"
Xue Ning replied solemnly, "I just want to know about your past."
Xiao Chengfeng was silent, he didn't expect Xue Ning to say this.
Why does she want to know me? Doesn't she care? Didn't she only see Lin Ziqing in her eyes?
Why do you say such things to me?
Xiao Chengfeng didn't understand what Xue Ning meant.
"What can you do, these things have nothing to do with you in the first place, and if you know, maybe there will be trouble?"
"So, you're afraid I'll get into trouble?" Xue Ning asked rhetorically.
Xiao Chengfeng's eyes flashed, and he was silent again, with a trace of helplessness in his heart.
Xue Ning can always grasp the point in his words.
"I don't want you to be in danger."
"Now that I know of Miss Chu Yao's existence, do you think I can stay out of it?" Xue Ning asked.
Xiao Chengfeng shook slightly.
In fact, he also thought about this problem.
Judging from the attack on Kunwu Mountain by the man in black this time, the murderer behind it already knows Chu Yao's identity.
It is no secret that Xue Ning has been to Kunwu Mountain.
The other party may also target her in the future......
"Rather than let me be killed in a daze, it would be better to ......"
"Okay, I'll tell you." Xiao Chengfeng suddenly said seriously.
Xue Ning was stunned, and seemed to be still
Didn't react.
Xiao Chengfeng, he agreed?
Xiao Chengfeng's eyes were deep and distant, and he looked at the stream flowing in front of him, as if he saw those good times that had passed.
At that time, he, Yun Chuyao and Yun Chuxue were fighting water fights by the river, catching crabs, laughing and making noise, as if they would never grow up.
"When I was eight years old, I was adopted as an adopted son by the head of the Luoyang Yun family......
The man's deep voice said slowly, and those old things flashed in front of him one by one.
Including the woman who was buried deep in her memory.
At that time, the Yun family was the most prominent Xiuzhen family in Zhongzhou, and the head of the family, Yun Wenbai, was not only a master of the tribulation period, but also the prince of Zhenguo in the court, and his status was extremely prominent.
Xiao Chengfeng's parents and Yun Wenbai are close friends in the army and have a very good relationship.
In a siege battle, Yun Wenbai was besieged by the enemy, and was attacked by the killers of the Xiuzhen Realm, and almost died.
In order to protect Yun Wenbai, his parents both died, leaving Xiao Chengfeng, who was only eight years old at the time.
Yun Wenbai felt guilty about Xiao Chengfeng, so he adopted him as his adopted son and treated him like his own son.
Yun Wenbai had two daughters, one was Yun Chuyao, who was only three years old at the time, and the other was Yun Chuxue, who was the same age as him.
When I first saw Yun Chuxue, she was wearing a pink jacket skirt, two beautiful buns tied on her head, and a small pompom-like headdress, delicate and beautiful like a porcelain doll.
The young man's ignorant heart opened for the first time, and Xiao Chengfeng stared at the handsome girl in front of him in distraction and couldn't take his eyes off.
From that time, Xiao Chengfeng knew that he liked her.
"Brother, what's your name?" The girl looked at him tenderly.
"Xiao Chengfeng." He replied stupidly.
"Xiao Chengfeng...... It's so nice, my name is Yun Chuxue, and from today on, we will be a family!" The girl shook his hand affectionately.
Xiao Chengfeng tasted what it means to blush and heartbeat for the first time, and also understood what it was like to like someone.
But he understood that he and she could only be brother and sister.
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of loss again.
In the following years, he has been keeping the right balance with each other, loving her like a sister.
The three of them grew up together and experienced a carefree childhood, and every time he thinks of those happy years, Xiao Chengfeng feels nostalgic.
But as time passed, Yun Chuxue became more and more beautiful, and his feelings for Yun Chuxue became deeper and deeper.
Yun Chuxue sensed Xiao Chengfeng's thoughts, and gradually developed a love for men and women towards him.
"Cher...... I like you." Finally, on the corridor in the afternoon, the boy showed his feelings for the woman he loved for the first time.
He couldn't forget Yun Chuxue's blushing cheeks and affectionate eyes at that time.
"Me too...... You don't want to be my brother, okay?"
"Hmm!" Xiao Chengfeng wanted to tell her that he had never treated her as a sister.
For him, she and Chu Yao are different.
The thoughts of the two children were finally known by the elders.
Xiao Chengfeng thought that his father-in-law would scold him, but Yun Wenbai made the decision for them and got married.
It turned out that when Mrs. Yun gave birth to Yun Chuyao, she injured her body and could no longer conceive, Yun Wenbai's two children in a row were daughters, and the Yun family had no sons-in-law to inherit. z.br>
The marriage of the two daughters of the Yun family became particularly important, especially the eldest daughter Yun Chuxue, at that time, people from the outside world said that as long as anyone married Yun Chuxue, he could become the next head of the Yun family and enjoy the treatment of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Although some top magnates sent dowry gifts to the Yun family every once in a while, they wanted to ask to marry Yun Chuxue.
But Yun Wenbai still wants his daughter to marry the person he likes, not to mention that this person is still the son of his good friend, which can be described as a kiss.
In the end, Yun Wenbai dismissed Xiao Chengfeng's identity as an adopted son and made a marriage contract for the two.
It was announced that they would be married as soon as they reached the age of sixteen.
After getting engaged, without the shackles of brother and sister status, the relationship between the two is heating up day by day.
At that time, Xiao Chengfeng even felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
But this happiness was completely destroyed because of the arrival of a man.
Yuan Heng ......
He will never forget this man.
One day, Yun Chuxue and Yun Chuyao went to the street to play, and suddenly encountered bandits, although Yun Chuxue and Yun Chuyao knew swordsmanship, they were not each other's opponents.
Later, just when Yun Chuxue was in crisis, Yuan Heng appeared, and he killed those bandits and saved Yun Chuxue.
That is, this time, in Yun Chuxue's eyes, Xiao Chengfeng could no longer be seen.
She fell in love with the man who suddenly appeared and saved her like a god.
"I'm sorry, I can't marry you!"
The girl who kept saying that she loved herself, but she took Yuan Heng's hand, stood in front of him, and told him with a firm face.
She fell in love with someone else.
Hearing this, Xue Ning was shocked, looking at Xiao Chengfeng, who had not yet broken free from his memories, a strong distress surged in his heart.
"She's going to break off your engagement?"
Xiao Chengfeng nodded: "Yes."
Xue Ning couldn't understand: "Why? You're both engaged! How could she be for a man of unknown origin!"
Xiao Chengfeng's eyes were dark, and his expression couldn't see joy and anger, as if he was relieved, and as if he didn't care.
"Later, my stepfather found out about her and Yuan Heng, and my stepfather locked her in the room and forbade her to go to him again."
"And then?"
"Later, ......" Xiao Chengfeng paused, as if he was recalling the scene at that time.
The woman's cry still echoed in his ears in his memory.
She cried and grabbed his sleeve, and Pear Blossom looked at him with rain.
"Brother, I beg you, I love him, I want to be with him, can you help me beg my father to break the marriage!"
That "brother" made Xiao Chengfeng's heart throb at that time, and he couldn't speak.
"Cher, you're my fiancée!" Xiao Chengfeng even breathed painfully.
He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar woman in front of him, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
"But I don't love you, and when I met him, I realized that I only have brother and sister feelings for you!" Yun Chuxue didn't care about his feelings and pleaded cruelly.
Xiao Chengfeng broke free of her hand, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He didn't know how he left Yun Chuxue's room, he only knew that on that day, he was wandering the streets like a walking corpse.
He left the Yun family, found a tavern, got drunk, and didn't return home for several days.
During that time, he had a lot of dreams in a daze, sweet, sad, and painful, and there would be Yun Chuxue in every dream.
He wanted to forget the pain Yun Chuxue gave him, but drinking those wines would only make him more painful.
"Brother and sister, hahahaha!" Xiao Chengfeng chewed these two words in his mouth, smiled bitterly twice, and slammed the empty wine jar on the table to the ground.
"Good...... In that case, I will fulfill you!"
At that moment, Xiao Chengfeng made a decision.
Five days later, it was the wedding day of Xiao Chengfeng and Yun Chuyao.
Xiao Chengfeng rushed back to the Yun family a day in advance, ready to beg Yun Wenbai to let him dissolve the marriage between the two.
But unexpectedly, when he returned to Yun's house, he saw corpses all over the ground.
Everywhere was a blood-red, and the air was filled with the smell of death.
Unspeakable pain spread over his body, and his eyes were scarlet, and he fell to his knees as if his soul had been drained, staring in disbelief at everything in front of him.
"Father, Mother!"
He rushed madly at each corpse,
I want to wake them up.
But it didn't work, and those people would never respond to him.
Yun Chuxue's life was forever frozen on that day, she fell in a pool of blood, staring at her blood-red eyes, as if she was dead.
Xiao Chengfeng's memory came to an abrupt end, "Except for Chu Yao, the people of the Yun family are all dead, and there is not a single living mouth left."
Xue Ning seemed to have heard a terrible ghost story, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
How so? What happened in the days when Xiao Chengfeng was away?
