Chapter Twenty-Nine: Flying with Wings
Gu Shengchao looked at Liu Ximei and cried pear blossoms with rain, and his heart softened at the moment, and he threw the half of the talisman to the ground and said: "Okay, as long as Miss Liu doesn't dislike me as a grass people, I am willing to accompany the girl to wander the world and stay for the rest of her life." ”
Liu Ximei slowly stopped sobbing, curled up in Gu Shengchao's arms, and she murmured: "I have an idea, so that Gongzi can not violate his conscience, and you and I can grow old together." ”
"Tell me, what's the solution?" The ancient saint was super curious.
Liu Ximei smiled: "Childe still send me to the place marked on the map!" ”
"What a joke." Gu Shengchao was also amused, "Since I promised to stay with you for a long time, I will not abandon it, I swear to the sky, if I abandon the girl from the beginning to the end, I will not die a good death." ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense." Liu Ximei's small hand covered Gu Shengchao's mouth, "I know that Gongzi is sincere to me, I mean that after sending me over, it can be regarded as a trust in Gongzi in vain, and when Gongzi climbs over the wall and robs me at night, won't it be done." ”
Gu Shengchao was stunned, he thought for a moment and said, "The girl is not afraid that I will fly away and go away?" ”
Liu Ximei shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid, Childe keeps in mind my kindness, I believe that Childe will not do anything that is untrustworthy." If that's the case, I'm willing, it must be that Childe has an inexplicable bitterness and doesn't want to tell me!"
Gu Shengchao was very moved, the two of them got up and washed up, picked up the half piece of talisman that was thrown on the ground, and rode away.
In the afternoon of this day, the two came to the house marked on the map, and a corner of the bucket arch cornices was faintly visible under the protection of the high wall, and the strength of the owner of the house could be seen. The two of them circled the mansion for a week before leaving, hid their horses outside the city, and returned to the mansion again.
There were servants on duty at the gate of the courtyard, and Gu Shengchao explained the situation, and after a while, another servant led them in. Gu Shengchao observed the surrounding situation while walking, and then acted at night. They walked a distance between the bamboo forest and the corridor before they came to the backyard, where a housekeeper came out to meet them.
Gu Shengchao took out half of the talisman and handed it to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper took out his own half of the talisman and put it together, and it was tightly integrated. The housekeeper took out another picture, on which was a portrait of Liu Ximei, although it was not exactly the same, but it was very charming. Liu Ximei took off his mask, and the housekeeper was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but feel his heart ripple, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The housekeeper called another maid and whispered a few words, the maid and Liu Ximei walked out together, and after a while, the maid came back alone and whispered to the housekeeper.
Gu Shengchao's ear power was excellent, and he vaguely heard "It's that place, that's right".
The butler nodded, and then took out a letter, sealed it with wax and stamped it. "This is the remaining silver ticket, go back and hand it over to the dart board, remember not to damage the seal, otherwise you won't be able to cash it out when you go to the bank." The housekeeper explained carefully.
Gu Shengchao took the letter and left without looking back, in fact, he was worried about Liu Ximei's safety, but he was afraid of revealing his flaws, so he hurriedly left.
People say that life is like a year, and in these short two or three hours, Gu Shengchao is also anxious, always feeling that the sun is motionless, and observing the changes in the shadow under him from time to time. Finally, when the sun set and the lights of thousands of homes were on, he quickly changed into the prepared night clothes, masked and climbed over the wall from the backyard of the mansion.
Gu Shengchao hid under a few tea trees, keeping an eye on the surroundings, looking for the house where Liu Ximei might live.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano sounded, like a spring rain, and the sparse raindrops fell on the surface of the lake, startling a little ripple. Immediately after that, the sound of the piano was melodious, and it was like a bright moonlight, and the breeze blew through the willow branches and treetops, giving people endless reverie.
Gu Shengchao followed the sound of the piano to find the past, a small courtyard next to the flower room, through the half-open screen window, Liu Ximei was sitting on the edge of the bed and was stroking the qin, under the bright and extinguishing candlelight, the handsome face was even more charming. She plucked the strings as she looked towards the door.
A maid brought snacks and tea, and stood aside to serve.
"There are young leaves in the bamboo forest in the front yard, pinch a few pieces and drink them in water to dispel the fire, you go pick some!" Liu Ximei commanded.
The maid turned and walked to the front yard. Gu Shengchao saw that there was no one around, and slipped over quietly.
Liu Ximei tuned the strings and was about to pluck them, when a black shadow flashed in from the corner of his eye. She was stunned for a moment, and then saw Gu Shengchao lift her mask, then she put down the pipa in her arms, pounced over and said excitedly: "Childe, you are finally here." ”
Gu Shengchao said in a low voice: "Be quiet, I'll take you out." ”
"I don't." Liu Ximei stood on tiptoe and shouted: "Come on, help!" ”
"Grandma, you're going to hurt me." Gu Shengchao picked up Liu Ximei and ran.
"Help!" Liu Ximei lay on Gu Shengchao's shoulder and shouted again, and gently bit his ear by the way.
In the silent courtyard, many guards rushed out of the corner, and rushed over with swords in hand. Gu Shengchao got on the roof, jumped out of the high courtyard wall, hid in the streets and alleys, and quickly went out of the city.
Liu Ximei hugged Gu Shengchao's neck, and finally couldn't help laughing "haha".
"You're still laughing, you almost killed me just now by shouting for help." Gu Shengchao blamed her on the lips, but in his heart he was happy.
Liu Ximei slapped his back, "Put me down quickly, it's uncomfortable." ”
"You deserve it, so that you are disobedient." Gu Shengchao carried Liu Ximei and walked like a fly, he was worried that someone would chase him.
Liu Ximei snorted, "Since we want to make a show, let's be real, I shouted for help, the more people see and know, the more no one suspects us." If we run away secretly, we will never be able to get out of it, and we will definitely be suspicious. ”
Gu Shengchao thought about it, so he asked, "Then what are you playing the piano for?" ”
Liu Ximei sighed beside Gu Shengchao's earlobe and said, "I'm afraid that you won't find it, so I deliberately played the piano, otherwise you can't find me and run away secretly?" ”
"Naughty." Gu Shengchao grabbed Liu Ximei's thin waist and hugged her in his arms, he joked: "You have a maid waiting in the mansion, you are not happy with brocade clothes and jade food, and you came out with me to wander the rivers and lakes, and you can't continue to eat, why bother." ”
Liu Ximei pursed her lips and said: "I'll follow Childe, I'll follow you wherever you go, although it's like a cage inside, there is no freedom, everything about yourself is controlled by others." It's like a pet in captivity, you have to laugh when the owner laughs, you have to be sad when the owner cries, if you can't accompany you one day, the owner will ruthlessly abandon you, that's not the life I want. ”
Gu Shengchao was moved when he heard this: "Miss Liu is sincere to me, I will live up to my expectations, and I will die for the girl's birth, even if I go to the soup and fire." ”
Liu Ximei was also grateful when she heard it, and she said softly: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, just call me Ah Mei in the future, or Mei Zi." ”
Gu Shengchao thought for a while, "Then I'll call you Amei in the future, what do you call me?" I'm young, so call me Xiaochao! ”
"Xiao Chao." Liu Ximei hugged Gu Shengchao's neck and looked at him with affection.
"Ah Mei." Gu Shengchao is also in love.
"Xiao Chao."
"Ah Mei."
The two looked at each other and laughed, so unhappy. Together, they went to the place where the horses were hidden, untied the reins, and rode away. That night, I didn't dare to find a place to spend the night, lest the other party find it, so I drove all night, and waited until dawn to find an inn to live in a small town.
After washing, the two hugged each other and fell asleep, Gu Shengchao asked curiously: "Last night, the maid went out with you and returned, and said to the housekeeper, 'It's that place, that's right', and then gave me a silver ticket, what does it mean?" ”
Liu Ximei was a little embarrassed: "Have you heard this?" ”
"Of course, they thought I wouldn't be able to listen to whispers, but they couldn't hide it from me." Gu Shengchao raised his eyebrows proudly.
Liu Ximei said in a low voice: "You also know my past, the maid accompanied me to the boudoir to check if there was a mole on my chest." ”
"Is there one?" Gu Shengchao came to be interested.
Liu Ximei nodded: "Yes." ”
"How I don't know." Gu Shengchao got into the quilt, and the house was full of spring light......
On the way back to the dart game, the two were at ease and had a lot of time to practice. With the help of Gu Shengchao, Liu Ximei quickly mastered the "Iron Arm Divine Skill", and his internal strength has also made great progress.
The two rode through a small town, and the rich fragrance came from the tea shed on the street, and they happened to be hungry, so they dismounted and sat down under the pergola. Ask the owner, it turns out that the fragrance is their special tea soup. One person asked for a bowl of tea soup and a small snack to eat.
While chatting, a man walked in, holding a folding fan with a shy stomach and a face full of meat. The man passed by Liu Ximei's side, couldn't help but stop and look carefully, approached Liu Ximei and sniffed with his nose, and reached out to remove the veil on her face.
Liu Ximei was so frightened that she only hid behind Gu Shengchao, and Gu Shengchao said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, if you beat him, it's really not okay to have me." ”
Gu Shengchao's voice was not loud, and the man with a meaty face heard it, and he laughed loudly: "Little lady, come, come and beat me, if you don't beat me, I will look down on you." His fat face poked out.
Liu Ximei followed Gu Shengchao to practice kung fu, but she only broke up with him, and never fought in actual combat. When she saw that the man was really hateful, she raised her hand and slapped the man hard.
"Smack!"
The man was slapped on the head, he got up and found pain at the corner of his mouth, and when he touched it with his hand, he knocked out a tooth. Immediately annoyed and angry, he threw his fist at Liu Ximei.
Liu Ximei didn't expect this slap to be so powerful, where did she think that it was no longer what it used to be, and compared with her before, there was a reborn change, but she didn't know it.
The man looked strong, and in Liu Ximei's eyes, her movements were clumsy and slow, she easily dodged, raised her foot and kicked the man's lower abdomen. The man fell backwards with an "oops", he tried to grab something with his hands, and knocked over several tables in a row, and finally fell on his back. A bowl of tea soup happened to be buckled on his fat belly, and the hot tea soup overflowed, making him jump up and scream in pain.
"You wait for me, and I'll have someone clean you up." The man jumped up like a shrew and scolded the street, covered his stomach and ran away.
