Volume 1 Reminiscences of the Youth's Heart Chapter 6 The Boy Returns the Favor
"Haha, it looks like we've missed a good show!" Suddenly, there was an arrogant banter at the door of the inn.
Nie Donglai turned his head to look, and saw three big men with unruly expressions walking in slowly.
The leader had a long iron chain around his neck, and behind him the two men were holding a knife and a sword.
"You're following me?" Gu Changqing looked at the person who came, and his face became extremely pale.
"We just acted on orders, but we didn't expect you Gu Changqing to disobey the yang and yin and collude with this demon girl, it's really disappointing!" said the big man at the head with a disdainful expression.
The chain around his neck dragged all the way to the ground, and as he walked, the chain grazed the ground and made a "clang" sound.
"Gong Ming, it's not your turn to tell me how to do things!" Gu Changqing looked at him and said coldly.
"Gu Changqing, it seems that you haven't recognized the current situation yet. Gong Ming said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Gu Changqing frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Hehe, didn't my eldest brother say it very clearly, you, Gu Changqing, are in cahoots with this demon girl. Since this kind of thing has been bumped into by us, my three brothers are bound to arrest you, you say, isn't it interesting?" The big man with a knife in his arms on the left side of Gong Ming stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Changqing and Meng Furong, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
"Your three Gong brothers are also the number one people in the rivers and lakes, I didn't expect to be so despicable and shameless, it really opened my eyes!" Gu Changqing looked at the three of them with disdain, and laughed.
These three people are the three brothers of the Gong family, the eldest Gong Ming, the second Gong Li, and the third Gong Quan, although the three of them have average personal strength, but the three of them have practiced a kind of combined martial arts - three elements are one, and the combination of the three is comparable to a first-class master, but it is rumored that this kind of martial arts can only be practiced by three people with similar hearts, so the three of them are together no matter what they do, and they are inseparable.
The three brothers of the Gong family are well-known in the martial arts because they once teamed up to capture a notorious Jiangyang thief, and they are also praised by many people, but it is better to be famous than to meet.
"It's a pity that it's in the wrong place, because you have to die. If you don't die, can the three of us brothers have a bright future?" Gong Ming stared at Gu Changqing with a hideous expression, but soon, he returned to normal and said: "It is rumored that when you were at your most depressed, this demon girl gave you two steamed buns, which immediately made you grateful and merciful to her?"
Hearing Gong Ming's words, Nie Donglai's face was a little strange, no wonder he felt that Gu Changqing's expression was a little hesitant before, and even in the end, he was unwilling to hurt Meng Furong because he was seriously injured, it turned out that there was such a hidden situation here, which can be explained, that is to say, what Gu Changqing said in the end was not only to repay the court, but also to repay the favor of Dream Furong.
The kindness of the two steamed buns can be remembered in his heart, Gu Changqing is worthy of Gu Changqing, although Nie Donglai does not really know him, but he admires this person from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Furong was also taken aback, and a picture flashed in her mind.
She was sixteen that year, and she had just debuted, in the early morning of a deep winter, there was goose feather snow in the sky, and the wind was howling unscrupulously between the heavens and the earth, and the cold made people shiver.
It was her first mission, and she passed by a ruined temple to rest. As soon as he entered the temple, he saw a boy two or three years younger than himself curled up in the corner shivering, the young man was wearing a tattered beggar's clothes, his dirty cheeks were as pale as paper, his eyes were sunken, obviously caused by long-term hunger, the young man's lips had been frozen black, but he did not say a word.
When she took out the only four dry and hard steamed buns left on her body, she saw that the young man had obviously swallowed his saliva, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes. There is no begging, no pleading, no greed, just a trace of envy for a better life. Looking at his eyes, her heart touched fiercely, and at that moment, her concept of a killer was shaken, and she looked at him and said secretly: "What a resolute character!"
I remember that in the past, Master often taught herself: "A killer can't have feelings, because a killer doesn't need feelings, and once he has feelings, he can't be a killer!" But at this moment, she was shaken, and she also figured out the path she wanted to take in the future, she was a killer, but she had to break the routine and be a killer with feelings and grievances.
She slowly walked to the young man's side and squatted down, divided two of her remaining four steamed buns into him, and said softly, "Hurry up and eat!"
The young man hesitated, took her steamed bun, sat up with trembling lips, and said in a voice like a mosquito...... Thank... Thank you!"
After speaking, I saw him gently put a steamed bun into his arms, and ate it with relish in both hands holding another steamed bun, he did not gobble it up, but chewed it slowly.
Meng Furong quietly watched him finish eating a steamed bun, and saw that he didn't mean to eat the steamed bun in his arms, so he asked curiously, "You haven't eaten enough, have you? Why don't you eat the other steamed bun too?"
The young man looked at him and said with a serious face: "Because... Because it's the closest to the heart. ”
Meng Furong was a little confused when she heard this, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Perhaps because of his shyness, a hint of ruddy appeared on the young man's face, and he said softly: "Because it will always remind me that there is a beautiful sister here today who saved me, and when I have the strength in the future, I must find my sister to repay my kindness. ”
It may be that he has regained his strength a little, and the boy's speech has become fluent, and he no longer stumbles.
Hearing this, Meng Furong covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Then how are you going to repay your sister?" Of course, she didn't take the words of a little beggar to heart, but she just thought that this young man was a little cute.
"I don't know. The young man was stunned, a little embarrassed, and then looked at her and said, "Sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Meng Furong, and I don't need you to repay me, you should take good care of yourself in the future, stop begging, and find a job that suits you. Meng Furong looked at him and said earnestly.
"I... Yes!" the boy tried to explain something, but he didn't say anything, and after a little thought, he answered.
Meng Furong nodded slightly, stood up and said "take care" to the young man and left.
Thinking of this, she looked at Gu Changqing with a complicated expression. After so many years, she had already forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that the little beggar at that time had grown to such a point, and he had already repaid the favor, but she didn't know it.
Gu Changqing looked calm, looked at Gong Ming and asked, "Does it make sense?"
"I'm just curious, it's really meaningless, because you all have to die today!" Gong Ming saw that he didn't answer, so he didn't ask again, because he knew in his heart that people like Gu Changqing would ask in vain if he asked, if he didn't want to say it, even if he was tortured, he wouldn't say it, he knew Gu Changqing too well.
