Chapter 54: Talking about the past
When night falls, the market streets of Black Rock City are still brightly lit, and the bustle and bustle can be seen, and even the layout design of the inn is quite unique.
The rooms in the inn are based on one unit, and each unit contains four rooms, south, east, west, and north.
Therefore, each unit is designed to be a small courtyard house. A square open space naturally forms below the corridor of the room.
There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants around, and the purple and red ones are pleasing to the eye! A stone table and four stone chairs in the middle can be used for guests to rest and chat.
At this time, the tranquil room and the hustle and bustle outside are like two different worlds.
Leng Yue sat on the edge of the bed and tiptoed to cover the person lying on the bed, for fear of waking her up.
The person who fell asleep in bed was naturally Zhengyang, who met the two of them on the street. It is to step through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it!
Or maybe that's the fate between them.
At this moment, the dirty stains on Zhengyang's face have been cleaned by Leng Yue, and the messy hair has also been combed neatly.
Although the face is still slightly pale, at least it has regained that cute little face.
"You don't have to worry. The doctor said just now that Zhengyang fainted because of hunger. I have already instructed Xiao Er to prepare the meal, and when she wakes up, she can eat.
As for the injury on her foot, it was just a little skin injury, and the doctor also gave her medicine. Bai Yu comforted Leng Yue, who looked worried.
"It seems that she was frightened. Leng Yue walked gently towards Bai Yu from the side of the bed.
"Let's go outside, let her sleep well, and wait until she wakes up. ”
Leng Yue glanced at the sleeping Zhengyang, then left the room with Bai Yu and came to the stone chair outside to wait.
"You seem to care about Zhengyang. ”
Before she found Zhengyang, Leng Yue was anxious, but now that she has found it, she has taken care of it meticulously.
Bai Yu saw all this, but the other party was just a girl who had a relationship with her, and she wasn't even a friend.
Being asked by Bai Yu suddenly, Leng Yue sat on the stone chair and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and fell silent.
Under the long eyelashes, a pair of tender apricot eyes were covered with a layer of mist. It was as if my thoughts had traveled through time and space, far, far away.
"Miss Leng Yue, I'm sorry. Am I asking abruptly?" Bai Yu looked at Leng Yue, who was so distracted in front of him, and suddenly apologized after thinking about it in his mind.
Leng Yue slowly withdrew her gaze looking at the starry sky, and didn't seem to care about what Bai Yu said: "When I was seven years old, my father died of illness, and my mother died soon after because of depression and depression all day long. ”
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. It's a pity that it's already yin and yang.
"Ever since my parents left me, I've been living alone on the streets, eating this meal without knowing where the next meal is.
It wasn't until the summer when I was 10 years old that I fainted on the side of the road due to excessive hunger and hot weather. Fortunately, my master passed by and kindly woke me up and took me in. ”
The memories in my heart slid through Leng Yue's eyes as the trajectory of time.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on that tender face. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a sweet smile, as if she had returned to the happy times with her master!
"Since then, I have been by Master's side, taking care of her daily life and learning martial arts at the same time.
Except when he was teaching me, Master usually didn't show much martial arts, but I could feel that Master must be a master of seclusion.
During the time I was with Master, although my life was very dull, I was very happy. I thought I could live quietly like this, and I didn't have to live that wandering life without relatives. ”
So many happy memory fragments finally put together that little smile, all of a sudden disappeared without a trace!
However, five years later, Master's old injury recurred, and many doctors were helpless. ”
"Was your master injured by someone?"
"I don't know. She only said that it was an old problem left over from her youth, so I didn't ask much. Leng Yue paused, as if remembering something, before shaking her head and saying.
"She knew that her illness was already lacking in recovery skills, and her time was short, so she passed on her life's skills and the Qingling Sword to me before she died.
In this way, I had to live a life of wandering and alone again. ”
At this moment, listening to Leng Yue telling a little bit of the bumpy past, Bai Yu's eyes were a little distressed in addition to admiration.
Although Bai Yu is also an orphan, he was adopted in Kunlun by Xuan Qingzhen since he was a child. Although food and clothing are not brocade clothes and food, they do not worry about food and clothing, at least they don't have to wander around.
Moreover, he is not as lonely as Leng Yue, and he doesn't even have someone to talk to. On Kunlun, he was not only accompanied by Shen Liu and Ziyu, but also many juniors and disciples who practiced martial arts and swords together.
The thousand thoughts in his heart made Bai Yu pity the person in front of him even more. He still listened quietly.
"After we rescued Zhengyang back to the inn that night, when I saw her clearly for the first time, I had an indescribable sense of intimacy in my heart, as if I had known her for a long time. ”
Leng Yue smiled again, so sweet, so gentle, even the flowers blooming next to her bowed their heads in shame!
"Do you know why I left in a hurry after we sent her home that day?" Leng Yue suddenly felt a question, but she didn't wait for Bai Yu to answer.
"When I saw Zhengyang's parents overjoyed because of her safe return, I was envious! But I didn't dare to stay there for a long time, I was afraid that I couldn't help but think of my parents and Master!"
At this point, Bai Yu finally understood why Leng Yue cared so much about Zhengyang. It turned out that she felt the feelings that had been cherished in her heart for many years in Zhengyang - family affection!
Bai Yu knew that Leng Yue's mood at the moment was full of missing her parents and master, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while. Only quietly by her side.
"Thank you. These words have been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I feel much better to say them. Leng Yue turned her head and said affectionately.
In this kind of flower, under the moon, in the dead of night and lonely men and widows, some sensational words are always easy to make people feel ape.
Bai Yu responded with a smile, then changed the subject and asked, "You said that your master taught you all his life's skills before he died, but why did you ......?"
"I don't know. I only felt a powerful force in my body, but I couldn't harness it.
And my master passed away after passing on the power to me, and he didn't tell me the trick of mastering this power.
So it's like an invisible treasure without a key that has remained in my body ever since. Leng Yue herself seems to be confused.
"I know there's someone who can help you open this treasure. A figure flashed in Bai Yu's heart, and then said with an oath.
"Who?" Leng Yue's eyes lit up.
She believed that if she could harness her master's skills, it would be easy to defeat black and white in ten moves.
"My uncle. ”
"Your uncle?"
"I still remember that time in the restaurant, we invited the old man to dinner, and then he gave us a puppet for each of us. The White Feather Gang Leng Yue recalled.
"It turns out that he is the master of Xuanyuan that I have never had, and the wooden man he gave me still has internal strength in it.
Are you still there?"
"It's still there. You mean I have something in this too?" Although Leng Yue was skeptical, she was already preparing to take out the puppeteer.
Ahem.
Hearing a cough coming from the room, Leng Yue and Bai Yu went to see Zhengyang first, and the matter of checking the puppeteer was forgotten because of this.
"Sister Leng Yue!" Zhengyang was already sitting on the edge of the bed by himself, and when he saw Leng Yue coming in, he immediately ran over and hugged her.
"Okay, okay, it's okay. Don't cry. Leng Yue spoke softly, as if she was coaxing a child.
"Zhengyang, what happened?" Bai Yu saw that Zhengyang's mood had stabilized before he asked.
Zhengyang wiped his tears and recalled the scene at that time:
"Last night, a man in black with a sword suddenly broke into my house and immediately named me to arrest me. My father and mother knew that the man was definitely not a good person, and he was willing to let him take me away. So, in order to get me to escape, they got entangled with the man. ”
After Zhengyang explained the ins and outs of the whole thing, she began to worry about her parents: "I don't know what happened to my father and mother now?"
Bai Yu and Leng Yue glanced at each other, worried that Zhengyang would not be able to withstand the blow, and they didn't know how to tell her for a while, so both of them looked embarrassed.
Zhengyang looked at them with strange expressions, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart. She asked eagerly, "Big Brother Bai." Have you ever been to my house, and what happened to my parents?"
"We did go to your house, but by the time we arrived, my uncle and aunt had already been killed. ”
Bai Yu knew that paper could never contain the fire, so he could only tell her the truth.
Wow wow......
Sure enough, when Zhengyang heard it, he immediately cried with pear blossoms and rain. Fortunately, Leng Yue was by his side to comfort and accompany: "Don't cry." Your father and mother worked hard to let you leave safely, so you have to live better now. ”
"Well, that's right! Listen to your sister Leng Yue.
As for the bodies of my uncles and aunts, we have buried them together in the open space next to your house. ”
Zhengyang stood up suddenly, then knelt on the ground and bowed to the two of them: "I can't repay the great kindness of Brother Bai and Sister Leng Yue." Please bow down to me. ”
"Silly girl. We don't need your return. Leng Yue gently helped her up.
"Since you are so fateful, then let's just become sisters!" Bai Yu knew that Leng Yue had already regarded her as a sister in his heart, so he suggested it along the way.
"Zhengyang. Would you like to?"
"Sister is above, please bow to my sister!"
After Zhengyang finished speaking excitedly, he wanted to kneel down and salute Leng Yue. Still, it was stopped.
Zhengyang came to the window, knelt with his hands folded and prayed to the sky: "Daddy." Rest assured. I'm safe with Big Brother White and them now.
You don't have to worry that I'll be alone because Sister Leng Yue already recognizes me as a sister.
You spirits in the sky must bless Brother Bai and Sister Leng Yue with a safe life!"
Tuk tuk.
There were several knocks on the door. It turned out that the inn's junior brought the prepared meal.
"Zhengyang. You must be hungry, hurry up and get something to eat. Bai Yu said as he helped set up the meal.
......
For Zhengyang, these two days seem to be a dream - escaping death from the hands of the man in black, then learning that his parents were killed, and finally having another sister.
Thankfully, everything was clear!
