Chapter 45: Pride
Liu Heng misses his younger brothers and sisters a little bit again.
Actually, I've always thought about it, every day, but today I thought about it specially.
One big morning, nothing happened.
A large wild boar once tried to get close to this area, but when he spotted someone, the beast, which looked very strong at first sight, turned around and ran away.
At noon, Wang Li woke up to change shifts, and Liu Heng squinted for a while on the big bluestone in the shade of the tree, but the shadow of the sun moved westward, and he was soon woken up by the sun.
The season is almost August, and it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is not hot in the mountains at all, but the sun is much hotter than outside.
So after waking up, he stared blankly at the reckless mountains and rivers under his feet, and silently counted the days in his heart, this time it has been ten days since he went out, and when he got home, it must have been August, and he suddenly remembered his three younger brothers and sisters.
I wonder what happened to them now?
Although the money left behind at the beginning was almost all the savings of the four brothers and sisters, it would definitely not be enough to spend it in places like flowing water such as Wangyun Mountain Sect, but fortunately, Liu Heng knew that the younger brothers and sisters had followed him from a hard life, and they would not lose it if they were thrifty.
I just don't know if they will be bullied in the sect? Can they learn what the gentlemen teach? If they can't learn, will they be beaten by the teacher?
Thinking about it like this, I was inexplicably melancholy.
He couldn't help but think in his heart: "When this happens, I must go to Wangyun Mountain again to see how they are! They are bound by the rules of the sect, so it must be inconvenient for them to go down the mountain easily, but I am not from their sect, so presumably the Wangyun Mountain Sect will not forbid me to visit."
But suddenly, he thought: What if I can't go back?
If we can't go back, what will they do?
"If I die here, they will probably be grief-stricken for a while, but they will get better in the end, and then, they may learn their skills and find out where the enemy is, and help me get revenge!"
Thinking so in his heart, Liu Heng couldn't help but subconsciously show a self-deprecating smile on his face.
The so-called enemy, in fact, even he himself doesn't know who the enemies who are waiting in front of him are!
He just knew that those people were so powerful that even characters like Cheng Yunsu and Wang Li were afraid, and they tried every possible way to avoid them.
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone say: "Actually, you can already go back!"
It's Cheng Yunsu.
Liu Heng looked back in amazement.
It was when the sun was setting, and she walked towards her, with a red glow behind her, as if everything in heaven and earth was painted with a layer of bright dancome.
The red light shone on the side of her face, reflecting a delicate and flawless red.
Her eyebrows were cold, but her eyes were firm.
As she got closer, she repeated, "Go back! ”
Liu Heng stood up, his expression had some of the restraints inherent in a countryman when he saw a big man. But scratching his head, he still said: "Mr. Huang from our village told me that being a man, especially a man, is difficult to chase after a man, and the promise he made cannot be withdrawn." I...... I promised to escort you out of the mountains. ”
These words, which should have been full of pride, were really without heroic momentum in Liu Heng's timid words.
But Cheng Yunsu still looked at him deeply.
Liu Heng subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
But even so, he still felt that at this glance, his whole person had been seen through by her.
It was a sense of confusion that was seen at a glance in the depths of my heart.
Then, Cheng Yunsu nodded slowly and said, "Although it is broad, it is also a good word." ”
After saying that, she turned to look down the mountain, and after a while, she gently pulled her skirt and sat down where Liu Heng had just laid.
Liu Heng didn't know if he should walk away.
Without waiting for him to hesitate for too long, Cheng Yunsu looked at the bottom of the mountain with an indifferent expression for a moment, and suddenly said: "The scenery here is so beautiful, if you can cultivate and hunt in this mountain, it will be a blessing to live this life." ”
Speaking of this, she turned her head, looked up at Liu Heng, and asked, "What do you say?"
Liu Heng bowed, clenched his fists, and said, "Back to the Hou Girl, this mountain ...... Dangerous. I mean...... Ordinary people are afraid that they dare not live here, and it is easy to not live here. But those who can afford to live here, ......"
"Yes. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yunsu interrupted, and then she turned around, looked at the reckless mountains at her feet, and stopped talking.
Liu Heng hesitated for a moment, and finally got up to leave.
But he had just taken two steps, but Cheng Yunsu suddenly opened his mouth and asked him, "Liu Heng, why are you so proud?"
Liu Heng was surprised, turned to look at her, but it happened to meet her bright and sharp eyes.
was so panicked that Liu Heng hurriedly lowered his head again, and he was also surprised in his heart.
"I ...... I ......"
He didn't know why Cheng Yunsu suddenly said such a thing, and because of the special word "pride" in her words, he had a moment of panic in his heart.
Pride, such a word, never seemed to have anything to do with a little beggar like him.
So he scratched his head, hesitating, not knowing what to say.
But Cheng Yunsu suddenly said: "Are you used to disguising yourself as a stupid stupid boy in front of others?" I mean......" She pointed at Liu Heng, "You like to scratch your head, it will make you look stupid." ”
Liu Heng lowered his arm a little embarrassed.
The previous relationship made him know that this eldest marquis girl is extremely decisive and sharp when she does things, no matter how big or small, she will decide in a word, simply and neatly, but now he suddenly found that this eldest marquis girl is even sharper and sharper than her style of doing things.
It's simply sharp.
After a moment, Liu Heng reluctantly spoke: "I'...... The villain was born a beggar, struggling all the way to survive until now, only acting carefully on weekdays, just to make a living, I don't know how the eldest marquis daughter came from the villain's 'pride'......"
Cheng Yunsu suddenly grinned and shook his head slowly.
After a moment, she said aloud: "A little person, when he kills a powerful youkai and is praised by his fellow friends, he will not be so indifferent. Even if it is so indifferent, it shows that it is lofty, and it is not complacent with a little vanity in front of him. ”
"A little person will not stand up and take the initiative to go to danger for what he wants when he knows that it is extremely dangerous. If this is the case, it shows that the person is extremely confident, and he is convinced that he must be the winner of the adventure. Therefore, he is willing to take great risks in the eyes of others for what he wants. ”
"A little person will not be faced with the moment of life and death, but still firmly believe that he can survive and get what he wants, and even die generously for this. ”
"Liu Heng, can you tell me now, why are you so proud?"
