Chapter 21: In the Border City
The moon rises and the wind rises.
The silver moonlight shone obliquely on the copper bottle in the hand of the green snake, and the folds shone brightly, reflecting a strange light.
Ximen thanked him sullenly, and was about to take the snake medicine of the green snake to heal the king leopard, but was stopped by the king leopard's shouting.
"No!" Wang Bao snapped.
"Why not?" Ximen asked, everyone was surprised that Wang Leopard killed the green snake of the green snake with one punch, and the green snake would even repay the grievances with virtue and save the king leopard.
Although these people had joined forces to deal with Xiahou Yu before, they were not from the same camp, and they had the same doubts in their hearts at this moment.
Wang Bao said: "I am ashamed to accept Yuan Gong's task but not be able to complete it, how can I receive this antidote again?"
Sun Lan listened to it tightly, she knew what kind of person Wang Bao was in the border city four years ago.
There is affection and righteousness, and a promise is a thousand gold.
However, for his own sake, Wang Bao temporarily put down the task of seizing the jade seal of the country, and Sun Lan knew how contradictory and painful this was for Wang Bao.
The green snake looked at Wang Leopard in a daze, for him, life was more important than anything else. He never thought that there were such fools in this world. For the sake of a woman, he did not hesitate to offend the most powerful person in the world from the fourth world and the third prince, and for the sake of a promise, he didn't even want his own life.
Sun Wu and the flower boy looked at each other, there was a touch of pity in their eyes, they admired this man, because they were also such people.
If you don't do something, you must do something.
....................................
Wang Leopard stepped on the little wolf's treasure knife with his right foot, and the knife instantly bounced up, and Wang Leopard caught it with his left hand, and waved his hand to cut it off to his right hand.
Poisonous snakes devour hands, and strong men break their wrists. If this knife is slashed, Wang Leopard's fist will inevitably be separated from his wrist immediately.
Everyone knows that among the people present, only Wang Bao never uses weapons. Wang Leopard's most powerful weapon is his fist. He's not left-handed, so his right fist is stronger and more powerful than his left.
For the sake of Sun Lan, he reneged on his promise to his master. For a man like him, the inner war is undoubtedly worse than death. He understood that once he accepted the snake medicine of the green snake, how could he not help the green snake deal with Sun Wu.
Simon was sullen, he understood that his boss, what could he do if he was replaced by himself?
Now the only one who can save Wang Leopard is not the green snake, but Sun Lan.
Sun Lan's pear flower spear was still in her hand, her spear had no effect against the green snake, but the thorn king leopard was fast and accurate.
This time, she did not stab Wang Leopard's shoulder, but Wang Leopard's left hand.
Wang Bao watched Sun Lan's every move from beginning to end, for fear that she would be hurt in the slightest.
Sun Lan's shot, Wang Bao saw it, it seemed that no matter where Sun Lan stabbed him, he didn't think about dodging. It seems that no matter what Sun Lan does to herself, Wang Bao is willing.
Blood spilled down the gap between his fingers, Wang Leopard's left hand was released, and the golden knife he was holding fell to the ground.
Everyone can see that Sun Lan's shot is to save Wang Leopard's fist.
"You big-headed ghost," Sun Lan stomped her feet and said, "I don't know how to let go and hide." ”
Wang Bao looked at Sun Lan with a strange look, as if he was crazy.
Sun Lan frowned, bit her lip, and wondered whether to say it and how to say it. She looked at Wang Leopard's blackened right fist, and had to say: "Please, from now on, you are you and I I, you don't have to do anything for me." ”
Wang Bao said lightly: "I know, you are here to save my hand." If it's because of you, the hands don't matter. ”
Simon secretly complained in his heart, the boss was poisoned by his hands and his brains were not poisoned, right?
Sun Lan's expression was full of emotion, and there were a few drops of bright light in the corners of her eyes. The more this is the case, the more she has to explain.
"Do you know that it was never you who I liked. Sun Lan finally tried hard to say this sentence, and after saying it, she seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and finally let go of the burden in her heart.
Wang Bao was stunned there, because Sun Lan said, what I like has never been you. Who does Sun Lan like?
"You're just a shadow of my little brother. Sun Lan said coldly, she didn't want to be cold, but she understood Wang Bao's feelings for herself, and she would explain it if she wanted to.
"My little brother and I have agreed to be together. Sun Lan's gaze seemed to have returned to the past. At that time, Sun Wu worshiped under Sun Jian and became a closed disciple of the Great Wind Dart Bureau. Sun Wu is a genius who learns martial arts, and in just a few years, he has become the best martial artist among his brothers. Which girl doesn't love heroes, not to mention that no matter how old or what she looks like, Sun Wu is undoubtedly the most compatible with Sun Lan.
"But four years ago, my father asked me to marry my brother. Sun Lan said, Wang Bao gradually understood.
Wang Bao recalled that it was four years ago that he met a drunken Guoxiang in the border city. Guoxiang was so drunk that she was unconscious, and she was almost robbed by a group of ruffians in the restaurant. Wang Bao happened to be in this restaurant, and he had never been used to bullying bastards.
So he used only one fist to teach these scoundrels a lesson. When he wanted to leave, Guoxiang suddenly opened her mouth and spat on him. From that moment on, he suddenly had the idea of taking care of this woman for the rest of his life.
When Guoxiang woke up, Wang Bao was lying under her. Wang Bao is by no means a person who takes advantage of people's danger, he just found a good guest room for Guoxiang, hugged Guoxiang to the bed and covered the quilt and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, Guoxiang opened her eyes, hugged his neck, and called her brother to not let him go.
Wang Bao was a normal man, still young, and he did drink a lot of alcohol that day. In such a situation, what else can happen, what will happen, everything that should and shouldn't happen has happened.
Wang Bao has no regrets, he really likes Guoxiang, and that period of time was the happiest in Wang Bao's life.
Every morning, he filled the water tank in the courtyard with water, and then went to the Wangji Warehouse in the east of the city to carry his bag. He wasn't the tallest and strongest man in the storehouse, but he was worth three men in his own work. Wang Ji's proprietor was about to finish work, and always put two more big steamed buns in his pocket with five baht strings. Wang Bao chopped a bundle of firewood at the foot of the East Mountain, cut half a catty of meat and sold a pot of wine when he returned to the town, and went home before sunset. At home, Guoxiang cooked a pot of porridge, and cut two pickled vegetables and radishes and was waiting for him......
Wang Bao has never lived like this, he wants to earn money to sing and drink, and he can just find a border city family to be a guest. But he had to carry the bag to do coolies, he carried water and chopped wood to carry the big bag. There is no dispute with the world, no matter how much the rivers and lakes are concerned, as long as you go home every day you can see the national fragrance.
After dinner, the two went to the village head of the stream hand in hand to walk, look at the stars and the moon, and pick a few wild fruits, Wang Bao felt that he had never been so happy.
He also asked Guoxiang, where did he come from, and who else was in the family? Guoxiang only answered vaguely once, Guoxiang, Jingzhou people's family. Every time she talked about this, Guoxiang looked at Wang Bao stupidly, as if she didn't know this person, and she panicked when she saw Wang Bao.
So, he didn't dare to ask again. So, he avoided Kunika's eyes. He always felt that Guoxiang looked at him, suddenly didn't know, suddenly stranger.
He was afraid that Guoxiang would leave......
Until one day three months later......
Open your eyes, you are not there, this day has finally arrived......
Wang Bao now finally understands that the reason why Guoxiang called him brother when he saw him for the first time, and the reason why he looked at him like that was just to treat him as his junior brother Sun Wu.
....................................
"I left Jingzhou four years ago because of him. ”
"I left the border city four years ago because of you. ”
Sun Wu and Wang Bao looked at Sun Lan who was muttering to herself, and they could see the struggle and pain in her heart.
"You came to the border city in order to escape from marriage," Wang Bao asked, "Since you have come and met me, why did you leave? Is it because I am not good to you?"
Sun Lan shook her head, her eyes were mixed with confusion and confusion, and even a little fear, and said, "I know that you are good to me, and I once thought about staying in the border city." However, one day you went up the mountain to chop wood and stepped on your left foot, and when I bandaged you, I found that there was an identical red birthmark in the center of the sole of your foot. ”
Everyone understood that Sun Wu and Wang Bao not only looked alike, but even the birthmark was in the same place.
Because of various coincidences, Sun Lan fell in love with two men who looked the same. However, these two men are so similar that they are like one person.
If it were me, would I be going crazy? Simon asked himself.
Wang Bao looked at Sun Lan in a daze, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body fell backwards......
