Chapter 36: Thunderstorm Tenderness
Not long after Murong Jing left, the sky in Gusu was covered with dark clouds, and in an instant, thunderbolts swept vertically and horizontally, and violent storms and rains followed.
"This crow's mouth! Whatever you say, you have to drench yourself into a chicken in soup. Shen Xinling shook her head and complained, and she couldn't help but worry about Murong Jing.
On the other side, in the Ruolan room of Yichun Courtyard.
At this time, there was a thunderstorm outside, but the people in the room were still living his indisputable life, lying on the bed doing their daily homework in a daze.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and closed again, and the sound of small but hurried footsteps made it clear who it was.
The thunder roared, and the visitor seemed to be more anxious, and he quickly flashed to the side of the bed, swept away the quilt from the lying man, hid in the corner of the bed on the other side, and wrapped himself tightly and made no sound.
The bed was not big, it was only enough for two middle-aged men to lie side by side, and the young man lying on the bed felt the shiver from the quilt at his feet.
Is it because you are afraid of thunder?
Except for the sound of thunder and rain, the room was too quiet than usual.
Suddenly, the trembling quilt was grabbed by the young man and slowly pulled it apart.
At first, the man wrapped in the quilt resisted, but after a while, he stopped struggling and let the young man pull the quilt away.
Looking at each other, the woman who always smiles like a flower on weekdays is teary-eyed at this time, and the woman seems to be unable to control her tears, and in an instant, she burst into tears.
The man's hand unconsciously stretched out, trying to wipe the woman's cheeks wet with tears with the placket of his clothes, but the woman grabbed it with one hand, and the woman shook her head at him, and then threw herself directly into his arms, sobbing regardless of it.
Faced with the sudden situation, the man was at a loss, so he stiffened like a wood and sat still.
Finally, the thunder died down, the rain became lighter, and the woman, as if she had had enough crying, slipped out of the man's arms, changed her position, and leaned on his shoulder while hugging the man.
"Although I am taking care of you these days, it is not you who are with me. The woman spoke up, "It's good to have you." ”
Although the woman's movements are light, but in the man's heart, this action is too familiar to him, on the island, for more than ten years, the woman who has been taking care of herself, whenever a thunderstorm, in addition to drinking, will also hug herself, on her shoulder secretly weeping.
Mother, is it raining on the island at this time? Chen'er is not by your side, are you okay? Let you down, Chen'er is still too fragile in the end, dare not face the fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, and said that he came out of the island to assist the old man and relieve his worries, but Chen'er is afraid that it will cause chaos to the old man, and it will also cause Brother Murong, Boss Shen, and Sister Ruolan to worry about themselves, Chen'er, I am really ashamed of everyone......
Jiang Yichen, who had been depressed for more than ten days, was full of worries, sighed a lot, and apologized because of Ruolan's hug. Feeling the trembling of the person in his arms and the wetness on his shoulders, Jiang Yichen naturally and familiarly hugged the woman and gently comforted her.
The woman felt the tenderness from the man, and a warmth rose in her heart, mixed with the so-called feelings that had been pouring out of her heart in recent days, and hugged it tighter.
"Sister Ruolan, thank you, these days have made you worry and take care of you. Jiang Yichen said softly.
"Silly boy. Sensing Jiang Yichen's changes, Ruolan was also full of joy and burst into laughter.
"Sister Ruolan, are you afraid of thunder?" Jiang Yichen asked.
"Hmm. When I was a child, in order to avoid the rogues, I hid in Tibet with my father and my younger brother, and there were often thunderstorms at that time, and every time there was thunder, my brother and I would be awakened, and we were always afraid of being discovered by the group of rogues. After all, I was found by the rogue, and my father and mother hoped that God would have mercy on us, so that at least one of our siblings would survive, and threw me and my brother into two rivers and floated away with the plank. When they went to search for the whereabouts of my family, I learned that my father and mother had died tragically at the hands of the Liukou, and the river where my brother was thrown down actually led to a large waterfall, and when I found it, he had fallen to his death on the reef. Ruolan unconsciously turned on her speech mode again, facing Jiang Yichen, she could have endless words.
To Jiang Yichen's surprise, Ruolan seemed very calm, and seemed to be able to face these sad past events calmly.
It's sad and lamentable, I am not even as good as a woman.
"By the way, there is something you haven't answered me all along, now can you tell me what kind of palm you used to fight Yin Li that day?" Ruolan asked.
"I can't say anything about it. Jiang Yichen paused and returned.
"Okay, it turns out that when I asked you before, you shouldn't have been, not in a daze, but really not to say it. Why can't you say it?" Ruolan suddenly lost her temper, pushed Jiang Yichen away, and glared at him angrily.
"Before leaving the island, Yin Niang warned me that unless it is a matter of life and death, you must not perform this technique in front of others, otherwise it will bring endless trouble. Last time, I drank some wine, and in a hurry, I showed it, which is no longer what it shouldn't be, so I can't say what kind of palm it is. Jiang Yichen insisted.
Ruolan knew that what Jiang Yichen said was really anxious to protect her, and now she didn't say it because she was afraid that she would be involved in the so-called endless troubles, although she was moved in her heart, she could remember that this skill had been exposed, even if she and Yin Li couldn't see it, but it was difficult to prevent others from seeing the scene at that time, such as Long Duoduo, the master of the Demon Palace, or that Zhantian, so she didn't want Jiang Yichen to resist those troubles alone, or to be able to come up with some countermeasures for him, she had to know.
"Can't even I say it?" Ruolan said with a straight face, without any intention of backing down.
"Heaven is broken. Jiang Yichen couldn't resist Ruolan's straight eyes.
"Thirty-six Heavenly Dead Plum Hands?" Ruolan struggled to search and sort out the relevant information in her mind.
"Well, since I was a child, Yinniang has granted me self-defense. You also know?" Jiang Yichen said frankly.
"Could it be that your hidden lady is actually the wife of the third son of the Huo family in Jinzhou who disappeared from the rivers and lakes more than ten years ago, and the only daughter of the owner of Zhemei Villa, Ouyang Rou?" Ruolan asked.
"The people on the island did call her Huo Yinniang, and the mother only told me about the loss of her husband and son on the night of the thunderstorm, and the rest is not clear. Jiang Yichen said.
"That's it. Ruolan was already sure of Huo Yinniang's origins, and buried herself in sorting out her thoughts.
The Huo family in Jinzhou was also a famous family in the rivers and lakes, and the marriage with Zhemei Villa was a sensation in the rivers and lakes at that time, envious of others, and thus jealous. A few years later, when the Zhongzhou heroes were fighting against foreign aggression, the Huo family was the first to be the leader and not to be left behind, but later, for some reason, it was rumored that the Huo family had killed five high-powered alliances. Then, people with ulterior motives took advantage of this to make a big fuss and slander the Huo family, and the status of the Huo family plummeted for a while, and Zhemei Villa was also implicated, and its prestige was no longer there.
Later, the invincible Wara Flying Locust Army broke through the pass and entered Jinzhou, slaughtered blood, and the Huo family was not spared, except for the three sons of the Huo family, Huo Tao, and his family of three escaped, all of whom died. Later, it was rumored that the sect behind the five alliances killed by the Huo family secretly collaborated with the Flying Locust Army to retaliate against the Huo family, and the Huo Tao family who survived was also hunted down, and finally their heads were in different places, and the body of Huo Tao's wife was not found in the rumors.
After all, she is just a woman, and it is difficult to succeed, and over time, the world will gradually forget her existence. With the decline of Zhemei Villa, even the famous Jianghu Jie Mei Hand in the mountain villa has been lost and extinct, and now in the rivers and lakes, there are not many people who know how to fold Mei Hand in the Tianwu Fold, but if it is known that the Tianzhu Folding Plum Hand and other palm techniques reappear in the rivers and lakes, it will lead to another bloody storm. Jiang Yichen's appearance this time, if he is targeted by people with impure minds, it will indeed cause countless unpredictable troubles.
Ruolan finally gave Jiang Yichen a clear analysis of the stakes one by one, and asked him to act carefully in the future, and he must not act arbitrarily, and she also secretly decided that she had to find a time to meet the master of the demon palace alone.
"In the matter of the Huo family, the Daoyi League is relatively unified on the side of the Huo family, thinking that the Huo family's decision to kill the alliance at that time must have hidden circumstances, but time has passed, and it is difficult to avenge the Huo family now, you don't have to drill the horns. Ruolan was worried about what Jiang Yichen would decide, so she reminded him not to dwell on this.
Ruolan's words, as well as the strength she showed before, touched Jiang Yichen a lot, Jiang Yichen was full of thoughts, since he was out of Xishan Island, he was determined to make a difference, whether it was for the old man, for his parents, and now for the sake of Yinniang, his departure from the island has not been his business alone since the beginning, and he still has the expectations of those people, how can he retreat easily, not to mention that he was only deterred at the beginning?
Jiang Yichen silently clenched his fists.
"You, are you going back to Juyuan?" Jiang Yichen's every move fell in Ruolan's eyes.
"Hmm. Jiang Yichen does not deny it.
"When are you leaving?" Ruolan asked, a moment of loss flashed in her eyes, she had been lying on the same bed for more than ten days, although she had only been close to skin to skin today, but she found that she seemed to be used to the presence of the man in front of her......
