Chapter 367: Steadfast Waiting
Shen Yuxia and Lu Zhenxiong carefully observed Lianyu, her figure was slender, she was the kind of rural girl who was healthy and cheerful, although she did not wear rouge and her clothes were very simple, but her cheeks were flushed, more beautiful than wearing makeup, I believe that anyone who saw her would like her.
"Miss Lianyu, the purpose of our trip is not only to visit the house, but also to inquire about one thing. A few years ago, we once met a person in Dongzhou, his name was Xu Sihai. Lu Zhenxiong asked.
"Really? But he wouldn't be here. Lianyu said, "The last person of the Xu family has already died in the war. According to what I know, except for this person, no one is called Xu Sihai anymore. ”
"No, miss, there is." Old Man Luo said on the side.
"Ahh Grandpa Luo, you probably remember wrong, right? Or, you're kidding, right?"
"No, miss." The old man said in a resolute tone, "The young master has followed me since he was a child, he learned fencing, shooting and swimming from me, and his appearance is both handsome and dashing. The heroic appearance of him when he joined the army is still in my mind from time to time. No one thought of it, whew! He will die on the battlefield. ”
Tears welled up in the old man's eyes.
"If he's alive now, how old would he be?" Shen Yuxia asked.
"Thirty-two years old." Lianyu said, her voice extremely low.
"Isn't he tall?"
"Yes, he is both handsome and powerful."
"Are you a relative of his?"
"He's my fiancé."
"You're his fiancée!"
"Yes, I'm still his fiancée."
"However, he is no longer alive......"
"I'm sure he's not going to die. He is said to have been captured alive by the E Army and died in a prisoner-of-war camp, and that his mother died soon after due to excessive grief after receiving the bad news. However, I always thought he was not dead. ”
"On what basis?"
"Because before leaving, he promised me that he would definitely come back!"
"Do you believe that he is not dead just based on his verbal promise?"
"Yes, I absolutely believe in his words, he is the most honest man in the world, he does what he says."
"Oh! In that case, he is a perfect person without any flaws?"
"No, he also has many shortcomings, isn't it? Grandpa Luo. ”
"That's right." The old man nodded and said, "The young master was very naughty when he was a child, and his temper was a little eccentric, and he loved to fight. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, he became the king of children, specializing in bad things and picking up mischief. By the age of fourteen, he would be able to lead some children older than him. He often rode on a small raft to raid other people's orchards or hunt in the forest. If the children he leads do not obey him, he will punish them severely. It seems that he has become the leader of the children in this area.
"Among his ancestors, there were soldiers and pirates, and he seems to have inherited them completely. Look, these portraits hanging on the wall are all members of the Xu family, and they are all very heroic. ”
"This child is so naughty, his mother must be very worried." Shen Yuxia said with a frown.
"yes, I'm really worried." Lianyu replied.
Madame Xu was not only worried, but also very sad, and often lectured him harshly, while the young master sincerely accepted his mother's teachings and confessed his mistakes to his mother with great remorse. Since then, he has been very active, even transporting timber and other items. He was indeed a mischievous child, but he was very kind in nature, so I liked him a lot. ”
"So, even so, Miss Lianyu still loves him and comes every day to ask about him?"
"Yes, I come here once a day to see if he's back, and pick some wildflowers to plant in the living room. In my free time, I also read his favorite book of Pirates, and sometimes look at his pictures. You see, these pictures are his. ”
As she spoke, Lianyu took out a few photos from "Pirates".
Shen Yuxia only glanced at it, and her heart became very uneasy. She thought, this is probably what Shirarou looked like many years ago.
This innocent and kind girl is Shirarou's first love and his fiancée. To this day, he is still waiting for him and walks an hour every day to ask for his news. ”
Thinking of this, Shen Yuxia felt very uncomfortable and jealous.
At this time, the bell of the Mazu Temple was heard. Lianyu called Grandpa Luo and wanted to go to the Mazu Temple to make incense and make a wish.
"I'll go with you, I also believe in Mazu, and besides, I have a few questions to ask you about." Lu Zhenxiong said
"Let's go together, then. Whatever I know, I will tell you. Lianyu said briskly.
"Yuxia, after burning the incense, I'll come back to pick you up."
"Okay."
Seeing the three of them walk away, Shen Yuxia looked at the photos again, and the person in them didn't look like Bai Lang.
Is he really Lianyu's fiancé!
She closed her eyes unconsciously, and pondered.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of small footsteps and rustling leaves.
Shen Yuxia remembered that the old man had said that he had found strange footprints around the house. So she hid her head in the corner of the window, peeked out secretly, and after a glance, she almost cried out, thanks to which she immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
On top of the dilapidated wall facing the courtyard, a person appeared, and that person turned out to be Yan Xiong.
Shen Yuxia gasped, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.
Yan Xiong observed the situation around him, and then crossed the stone wall, and another person appeared behind him, it was Zhou Qiang.
"Ahh How...... How is it Zhou Qiang?" Shen Yuxia panicked, she thought:
"Didn't Lu Zhenxiong say that Zhou Qiang had escaped from Dongzhou? Is this another scam?"
At that moment, there was the sound of footsteps at the staircase, and she guessed that they must be going upstairs, so she had to hide in the closet first.
The door opened, and two people entered.
Yan Xiong said: "Lu Zhenxiong, Luo Qingsong and Lianyu have all gone to the Mazu Temple, leaving Shen Yuxia alone here. ”
"This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, isn't that necklace pendant handy?" Zhou Qiang said.
"How did Shen Yuxia and Lu Zhenxiong find here?"
"I don't know. Let's hurry up and find Shen Yuxia! ”
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time! Take a break, Cao Xun arrived immediately. ”
"However, Bai Lang is almost here!"
"Don't be afraid, he can only get on the passenger ship at the earliest."
"What is he doing here?"
"Lu Zhenxiong wrote to him and asked him to come over. In Lu Zhenxiong's opinion, as soon as Bai Lang saw this mansion, his memory would be restored, and he would remember that his original name was Xu Da Devil. ”
"If Bai Lang understands that he is the pirate Xu Da Devil, he will definitely be very shocked, then, such a huge impact is likely to make him recover his memory, so wouldn't it be self-defeating?"
