20 Gloomy and sad
He thought that he must have done it on purpose, so he avoided all the turmoil, all the uneasiness, all the shock and sorrow, all the fear and despair, and after some time he opened his eyes, and was already lying in a soft and comfortable room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't tell if it was from outside or in my head, and it was daytime, but there was a smell of candle oil peculiar to the evening, which made the breath of this room seem a little turbid.
There sat a young girl motionless by the bed, and he almost didn't recognize her as a stinger for a moment, because she was different from before. She was dressed in white, and even the hairband on her head was white.
He moved. "Thorn, you're here. He said softly, looking a little struggling.
The stinger was taken aback and looked up at him. He noticed her two red eyes. When she saw him wake up, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, she couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself on him and cried loudly.
"Uncle, are you awake...... You're finally awake!"
Jun Li was a little overwhelmed, mostly because he was still a little sluggish after waking up. He stretched out his hand to comfort her, but the thorn just kept crying, crying until he couldn't lift his head, and the thin quilt on his chest was wet from crying.
β...... What's the matter, Thorn, who bullied you?" Jun Li asked her in as light a tone as possible.
"Uncle...... "Grandpa...... Grandpa ...... No more ......"
Jun Li's barely revealing brisk color froze, and there was a sudden sharp pain in his mind, only to feel that the heavens and the earth seemed to be spinning. The outstretched hand originally wanted to gently hug the thorn's shoulder, but at this moment, it subconsciously fell and pinched her arm fiercely.
"What did you say?"
He didn't really need to ask again. The piercing pierced a filial piety suit, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying. He knew that he just didn't want to think about it, or he didn't want to believe it, because there was indeed such a scene in his mind, the scene of his father-in-law falling on the grass in Qinglong Valley like that. He had always wished it was his own unconscious dream, or that it was a fluke at least not the worst - but now, he woke up, and all reality was pressed again. The self who should have died is still alive, but the father-in-law who should not have died is gone.
Master's words were remembered again, echoed, and lingered.
"I have never seen such a dangerous horoscope as yours, and all of them are enough to bring your life to an abrupt end, or to bring misfortune to your loved ones. β
"I have never seen such a dangerous horoscope as yours, and all of them are enough to bring your life to an abrupt end, or to bring misfortune to your loved ones. β
"I have never seen such a dangerous horoscope as yours, and all of them are enough to bring your life to an abrupt end, or to bring misfortune to your loved ones. β
The words echoed in his ears, intensifying the buzzing in his head. He felt that his heart was so painful that he couldn't beat, and he wanted to say something, but he was dumb. Yes, it must be because of me. It's because of me. I, a person who should have stayed away from all worldly family affections, what kind of father-in-law do I recognize, and why do I want to come back? Jun Li, what else will you do besides harming others?
The thorn didn't break the arm he was scratching at the sore one. In her heart, Jun Li should not know anything, and from the beginning of falling into the hands of Maas, his consciousness may have been lost. But Jun Li recalled everything at this moment. At that time, when he was about to lose consciousness, it was Shen Fengming who made the first move - Shen Fengming was not trying to save himself, but he didn't want to be troubled by Ling Li, and in the face of Maas's reckless behavior, he at least wanted to prove that he had also stopped him. His surprise attack didn't take Jun Li into account, but it obviously angered Maas, so the latter pressed Jun Li's head to the stone before he could fight Shen Fengming with his free hand.
It was a brain-splitting disaster, but perhaps because of the backbox, the fall was not complete. Of course, this was enough to kill - at least he must have shed a lot of blood - and when everyone immediately surrounded Maas, the nearest stepfather panicked and desperately pressed his hand against his wound to stabilize his body. It's a pity that Shen Fengming was just acting like this, so Ma Si quickly got out of his body, and caught a glimpse of Gu Shizhong, who wanted to save Jun Li, who was actually vicious, so he stabbed at him like this. How fast should he move? Gu Shizhong's whole body was knocked out, and when Mas dragged himself up again, his father-in-law's voice was already a few feet away.
As he thought about it, he let go of his thorny arm, got up from the bed, and walked down. His eyes were as empty as if he hadn't come to life, and his steps staggered as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"Uncle, you, don't get up......" Thorn was a little worried. "You're so badly injured, or ......"
Seeing that he had reached the door, she had to come up and pull him. "Don't go out!"
Unexpectedly, the little uncle, who had never been gentle, didn't look at her, but shook his hand and pushed her back. It's not a lot of force, but it's almost stiff with determination. He saw that his backpack and black sword were standing by the door, and he picked them up as if he had picked them up, opened the door and walked out.
"Uncle!" the stab chased after him.
Jun Li stumbled through the courtyard as if he hadn't heard it. In the courtyard, I could clearly hear the cry coming from in front of me, and smell the strong smell of incense and candles. Jun Li looked up at the sky, but even the sky was white, and the whole air seemed to be a miserable white condolence.
He knew he had to make a decision: he had to leave, now, right away, not even a little longer. Again and again hesitation, soft-heartedness and ...... It seems to be well-intentioned, but in the end it is harmful, more harmful than all ruthlessness. "This is your fate, Jun Li. He said to himself. "As long as you're there, someone is going to be unhappy because of you, so you have to leave immediately, there is no second choice. You don't deserve to be near anybody, and you should never expect that. β
The antechamber has become a mourning hall. Jun Li lifted the curtain from the courtyard, and the two family members were taken aback and shouted, "Young Master Jun Li!"
The mourning hall was full of people, Gu Xiaomeng and Gu Rufei were crying while returning the salute to the guests who came to mourn. But Jun Li suddenly appeared, and both of them were stunned.
There was also a whisper in the hall, and those who recognized it introduced Gu Shizhong's righteous son to those who didn't recognize it. He had a wound on his head, and the white yarn was tightly wrapped several times, in the eyes of others, this should also be his filial piety. It's just that his bun is loose and his face is as white as paper, which is a bit miserable.
"Jun Li. Teng Ying hurriedly said. "How's it going to get out - get back and lie down, we can handle it here. β
But there were already a few people who recognized him, and they saluted him sympathetically: "People can't be resurrected after death, Young Master Gu, please take care of your body and mourn and change." β
Jun Li stared at these people for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say a word, didn't even return half a salute, raised his hand to push people away, and walked out of the door.
The whole hall looked at him in surprise, secretly thinking that Gu Shizhong, the righteous son, couldn't stand the blow and went crazy for a while. Even Gu Xiaomeng was stunned, hurriedly stood up, and shouted, "Jun Li, where are you going!"
Jun Li paused, but didn't look back, only said, "I'm leaving." β
"What...... What? What did you say?" Gu Xiaomeng was surprised inexplicably. He was carrying a black sword in his arms and a bamboo box on his back, looking like he was leaving, but the pale color left on the back of his neck was like a sign that he would be bloodied and dry in the next moment. With such a serious injury, where is he going?
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" said the thorn.
"I'm not your uncle. Jun Li said coldly. "I have nothing to do with your Gu family. β
There was silence in the hall, and then there was an uproar, Gu Rufei couldn't help jumping up first, and shouted: "Gu Junli, what are you talking about!"
"I said, I have nothing to do with your Gu family. Jun Liping repeated calmly. "Gu Gongzi doesn't understand?"
"You...... How did my grandfather treat you, do you have a conscience? How did he die, do you know? Hmph, we used to live well, but it was for you, the so-called righteous son, that he gave his life! He is lying here now, you don't knock a single head on your head, you don't burn half of the incense, you just want to just leave?"
"Rufei!" Teng Ying frowned and whispered to him.
Jun Li sneered lowly. "Your grandfather, what does it have to do with me?" and he took a step. Gu Rufei was angry, and he stepped forward to arrest him, but he was stopped by a thorn in the ground, and said quickly: "Cousin, you don't know that your uncle is injured?"
"Hey, 'uncle,' 'uncle'βhe said it wasn't your uncle. Yes, he doesn't have the surname Gu, he said that he will leave as soon as he goes, and it has nothing to do with our family at all-I think he has a better backer, right? He has that black sword--how majestic! But I am afraid that Senior Ling will regret putting the sword in the hands of such a person when he sees his unrighteous and unfilial appearance!"
Gu Xiaomeng looked at Jun Li in disbelief, took two steps forward, and said in a hoarse voice: "Jun Li, my sister doesn't believe that you are that kind of person, if you have any reason, tell your sister that even if you really want to leave, we will think about it later......
"Rufei is right. Jun Li's voice was just cold. "I wasn't born in the Gu family, I didn't grow up in the Gu family, the Gu family has nothing to do with me, I don't care who lives or dies. I don't want to stay in this place for a moment, you just treat me as if I've never been here, don't know me, and don't call yourself my sister anymore, I can't afford it. β
"Listen to this is human talk!" Gu Rufei said angrily. "Grandpa really looked away, how could he let such a person enter the door of our Gu family!" he said, still unsatisfied, and said again, "If you want to go, you can leave, the Gu family will not recognize your descendants in the future, you uncle, I'm sorry!"
If it weren't for the stinging still in the way, he would have gone up and smacked him. However, Jun Li just turned a deaf ear and had already gone far away. Everyone in the hall just lamented in their own way, and then there was a humane: "Old man Gu's life is hard, the eldest son is young and promising, but unfortunately died early; now, although this righteous son is a Taoist priest, he has seen it before, and he is also polite, and he thought he was a gentleman-like figure, but as soon as the old man died, this face changed so quickly! God is really blind." β
Thorn also knew that Jun Li had gone far, put down his arm, and looked at Gu Xiaomeng, only to see that she couldn't believe it in her eyes. She also felt a pain in her heart, and suddenly remembered Fang Cai Junli's heavy grasp on her arm, bit her lip and muttered, "I just don't believe it." Suddenly, he turned around and chased him out.
"Cousin!" Gu Rufei couldn't shout, he couldn't leave, so he had to turn around angrily.
Jun Li walked quickly when he went out, but his blood seemed to be insufficient, so he said those few words, as if he had hollowed out his whole person. The thorn chased him out, and he had just turned the corner when she easily grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "Uncle!"
He was powerless, so he could only respond in the same cold tone as Fang Cai: "Don't call me uncle." β
"Uncle, I just don't believe it. The stab ignored his words completely, and there was a cry in his tone. "The uncle I know is not such a person, no!"
Jun Li seemed to have lost his breath to say more, only pulled his sleeves, and said weakly: "Stay away from me." β
"Uncle ......"
"I didn't say it clearly enough!?" Jun Li suddenly seemed to be enraged, as if he was full of anger and about to attack, as if he was unwilling to talk, and turned his pale face to her and roared, as if he had become a fierce god, squeezing his facial features hideously.
"I'll say it again, I'm not your uncle, I don't have the surname Gu, I have nothing to do with the Gu family or you, is it enough?"
He gritted his teeth and tried to give her a vicious look, but maybe there were some things that he was really not born to pretend to be, and when he turned back to look at her like this, he could barely meet her eyes. He didn't know what she would do if she heard that last word was just a tremor in his voice.
But the thorn finally just looked at him fixedly, and stopped talking. Just as the last rope had been untied before leaving the shore, he knew that her silence meant that he could not turn back. The waves must have pushed him farther and farther away, and no force could pull him back.
He was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the surge in his heart, so he hurriedly turned around and left. Thorn watched his back from this street corner, just as he had watched her at the door of the remote tavern that day.
It's just that although she no longer speaks, no longer keeps him, she doesn't miss it, in the moment of looking at each other, his eyes suddenly turned wet.
