Chapter 677: Helpless
On the other side, Chu Xia chased all the way out, and in a blink of an eye, he couldn't see the shadow. This stinky boy actually used light skills to fight with her.
Anyang City is so big, and there are officers and soldiers who arrested them everywhere, she has a small range to find alone, and it is too dangerous, so she has to go back to Zhao Qifeng to rescue the soldiers, there are many people and there is great strength, I hope nothing will happen.
Zhao Qifeng arranged for dozens of his subordinates to quietly search in the city, and Chu Xia couldn't sit still, so he also went out to look for it.
I didn't tell him that if I knew that, this kid was sensitive, he must have thought that she was going to leave him alone. He just lost his parents, and the person he trusted the most also said that he was going to leave him, how could he bear it in his heart.
Chu Xia blamed himself while looking for someone. In fact, he is also a child who wants warmth, maybe he is just an attachment to her, like a relative. Why did he say so much, didn't he pour salt into his wounds?
Walking through the streets and alleys, almost half of the city, and still not seeing the shadow of the young man, Chu Xia's heart became more and more anxious. Where the hell can he go? It can be determined that he did not leave the city. But he didn't know anyone in this city, and he didn't know anyone......
Suddenly he thought of a place, maybe he would go there.
When she ran to the ruined temple, it was already dark, and there was a pile of firewood burning in the ruined temple, which could both light and keep warm.
Seeing Chu Xia come in, several children greeted him excitedly, chattering about this and that.
After sweeping around, she didn't see the person she was looking for, and the loss in her heart became heavier and heavier, and now she knew that this child, unconsciously, was already so important in his heart.
"What's wrong? Come in, shall we?" Lu Zixiu saw that she was coming alone, and with a frustrated face, he pushed the children aside and asked with concern.
"Hasn't he been?" Chu Xia didn't notice that when he asked this sentence, he was crying.
The man shook his head helplessly, the child was not very old, but at first glance he was calm and steady, and he shouldn't mess around.
"What the hell is going on?"
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have said those things and him off." Tears swirled in his eyes, and they fell.
"Don't worry, he shouldn't be wandering around, I'll go with you to find it."
Mo Ran nodded, except for Zhao Qifeng, the people she knew here were these people who broke the temple, and she could only turn to them for help.
The two of them walked around the ruined temple again, and almost all of them were found, but they still didn't see a figure, Chu Xia was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he wanted to cry without tears.
"Think about it, where else have you been?" Lu Zixiu calmly reminded her.
Where else have they been? It can't be an inn, right? He had no money on him.
"Be careful!"
Because I was so distracted, I almost hit a tree. Fortunately, Lu Zixiu protected her forehead with his hand, otherwise he would have to hit a big bag.
But this collision also reminded her suddenly. "I see."
I ran to the big tree in one breath, and sure enough, I saw the young man leaning against the tree alone, looking into the distance, and he was fascinated.
Chu Xia didn't make a sound to disturb, just stood quietly under the tree, looking at the children curled up in the tree. Once they were on this tree, hugging each other for warmth. And now, he is the only one left, he is so lonely, so depressed, like an abandoned child, alone and helpless.
How cruel was she, how could she do this to him, he was still a child?
There was a sour feeling in my heart, and tears came out of my eyes.
A drop of crystal water fell on the girl's face, and it was wet when she reached out and touched it. Whether it's his or hers, it's hard to tell.
"Junbao, come down?" The woman called softly, her voice hoarse.
The young man glanced down at the woman standing below, his handsome little face was cold, and his voice was cold, as if that person had nothing to do with him.
"Are you leaving? From now on, it doesn't matter to me where I want to go." After saying that, he looked away again, was he too extravagant? Looking up at the sky, the stars are shining
, sparsely scattered all over the sky. I'm afraid that in this life, they are the only ones who can be by my side.
The woman's heart was sour, and she choked up, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to go together, Junbao, will you come down?" I take those words back, and don't be angry anymore."
"Don't you want me anymore? Why come to me again, I will face my own life." The boy's words were plain, but they were heavy. Saying these words, he felt that there was an empty piece in his heart, and he could no longer fill it.
"I didn't want you, I never thought about it that way, Junbao, I was wrong, I won't say those words again, don't you leave me behind, okay? Now we are left with each other, you are all I have, I am all yours, and we can't afford to lose each other anymore." The girl eagerly explained that if there was anything she couldn't let go of here, it was this child, and no matter what, she couldn't leave him behind.
The boy looked down again, and his thin lips twitched, "Didn't you say you were going to leave me sooner or later? In that case, it is better to leave early."
"No, I won't leave you, at least not voluntarily, unless God wants to separate us. Even if God wants to separate us, I will take you with me, and we will leave together, Junbao, believe me, okay?" This child has become her life's responsibility, and if she can really leave, she hopes to take him away, keep him away from war, away from killing.
"Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me?" He was still scared, he was fed up with his relatives leaving him one by one.
"I'm telling the truth, believe me once, Junbao, will you come down?"
The four eyes were facing each other, tightly intertwined, and they all saw reluctance in each other's eyes. That strong affection has long been fused together by time.
The boy jumped down from the tree, landed on the ground, looked at the woman in front of him, and reconfirmed, "Really not leaving? Won't you leave me?"
The woman shook her head and stepped forward to hug the boy, "I'm afraid you'll leave me?" Junbao, I can't leave alone in the future, do you know that I'm so worried, so scared?"
The young man's body stiffened, slowly raised his hand, hugged the woman's waist, tightly afraid that she would run away, and said sullenly, "Then you are not allowed to say anything about leaving me again?"
"Okay, let's not talk about it."
"Don't give me away to anyone else?!"
"No ,...... When did I say I'd give you away?"
"Anyway, you just promised me?" The boy stubbornly spoke.
"Okay, I should have both, I should, okay this time?" Chu Xia sighed in her heart, has she really become a mother with children? And it's self-inflicted.
Lu Zixiu, who had been standing aside, smiled with relief when he saw that they had finally reconciled.
"Alright, that's it, it's time for me to retire. Again, if there is anything that needs help, just say it, and you can't get rid of it."
Chu Xia then remembered Lu Zixiu who came with her, and suddenly remembered something, "Lu Zixiu, have you ever read?"
The man shrugged indifferently, "I studied in a private school for a few years and was admitted to the Jinshi, but I was impersonated. In these years, if you have money, you are an uncle, and there are many talents who have nowhere to show them." He really saw it, and instead of becoming inflammatory, it was better to beg for food on the street, at least with peace of mind.
"Then can you do me a favor and help me manage the store?" At least the money earned is enough to feed the old and young in the ruined temple." Anyway, her gambling village also needs someone to take care of it, Zhao Qifeng is too eager for quick success, she would rather use this person. This man had great ambitions, and from the first sight of him, he felt that he was not something in the pool.
Lu Zixiu's eyes were golden, and he asked in disbelief, "Is what you said true? Do you really want me to help you take care of the store?"
"Don't be too happy, it's not an ordinary shop, it's a gambling house, it's not as simple as you think. You have to think about it, and once you decide, you can't back down."
The man's eyes sank, his hands clenched into fists, and he quickly let go of them, and said easily, "Is it more difficult than being a beggar, Lu Zixiu has never been a person who is afraid of hardship, since the girl believes in it, I promise that I will never let the girl down."
"Okay, that's what you're waiting for." The two high-fived as an alliance, she believed in her own vision, he didn't do it, he just didn't have a chance. Once you start, you definitely don't let go easily.
Everything was arranged, and at this time the two of them were left, the moonlight stretched their figures, one high and one short on the ground, two thin backs, occasionally intertwined, forming a harmonious picture.
"Junbao, do you think it's appropriate for me to arrange this?"
"Haven't you already decided?"
"Actually, I think that Lu Zixiu is a talented person, I can rest assured that I will help us take care of the business when I hand it over to him, and I am secretly cultivating power for you by doing so. Those little beggars, who may beg in the streets today, will be able to make a fortune tomorrow, and it doesn't matter where a person comes from, what matters is the opportunities he encounters in this life."
"You are their nobleman." Jing Yuan is a transparent person, how can he not see it? Everything Chu Xia did was for him, and the road of revenge was arduous and long, and it was definitely not something he could accomplish alone.
"Chu Xia, thank you, I will remember everything you did for me today. Please also believe me, I will never regret what I promised in front of the queen mother, please wait for me, whether it is ten years or twenty years, Jing Yuan will definitely not fail you."
The young man stood still, his phoenix eyes flashed with sincerity, this was the first time he expressed his heart to her, maybe he couldn't give her a stable life and give her a sense of security, but the promise he gave would definitely be fulfilled.
Chu Xia didn't expect the young man to be so persistent, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, it was superfluous to say anything now, she didn't want to have any more misunderstandings between them, so it was better to take one step at a time, as long as he felt at ease, he would let him be. The world is changeable, and it is not something that people can predict.
