Chapter 228: Unswerving Till Death
The most painful thing in life may not be the so-called painful things that you have experienced or are experiencing, but watching your loved ones suffer inhuman pain and torture and you can't do anything about it. It's a frustration that you can't describe in words, and once you experience it, you never want to go through it a second time. Therefore, while you still have the ability, you must cherish the people around you who everyone loves deeply.
Seeing this black shadow that suddenly appeared, several big men who intended to catch Ruyi hurriedly retreated, and with the spread of murderous aura, more than a dozen horses raised their front hooves at the same time, neighing, and seemed to be frightened, and the rest of the big men who did not get off the horse also quickly jumped off the horse, with a look of vigilance.
The bearded man stared blankly at the black shadow that suddenly appeared, and the rusty knife on the back of the black shadow, his expression was solemn, and his heart sprouted retreat. He knew the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he could even say that he remembered it vividly, especially the rusty knife behind the other party's back, but it could kill people invisibly.
"Who sent you?Gong Jiu?Or the Seven Sages King?" The black shadow lowered his head slightly, and asked in a low voice, without a trace of expression on his face. The reason why he was so quiet was not because he was afraid of being heard, but because he was trying his best to control the anger he was about to explode.
The bearded man in black didn't speak, staring blankly at the black shadow opposite, a little overwhelmed, and even regretted that he had come to this town. A total of more than a dozen teams of them came out, but he ran into people who shouldn't have been bumped into. Although he didn't talk, it didn't mean that others didn't talk, and it was too late for him to stop him.
"Since I know that we are from the Xianwang Mansion, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, otherwise you can't afford the consequences!" A big man lifted the weapon in his hand, pointed to the black shadow and said loudly, it didn't seem to take the person who suddenly appeared in front of him in his eyes, it was just because he hadn't been here for a long time, and he didn't know who the person in front of him was.
Just as this person's words fell, suddenly another black shadow fell from the sky, jumped down from the top of the wall, and at the same time a dragon roar sounded, a pitch-black and narrow knife was instantly unsheathed, without hesitation, it swung out like lightning, and instantly slashed through the throat of the person who spoke just now!
There was no blood, no screams, only the sound of a heavy corpse falling to the ground, because the knife was so fast that none of the people present could take it with confidence. The big man who spoke was dead, and he kept his mouth shut forever, and perhaps he didn't have time to understand why he died until the moment he died.
"Shaoxia, please forgive me for waiting for the capital crime, we didn't want to hurt Miss Ruyi, we just took the order from above, worried about the danger of Miss Ruyi alone, and wanted to bring him back safely, without malice. The bearded man swallowed his spit and said, his voice seemed to tremble slightly.
The black shadow called the young man by the bearded man slowly raised his head, revealing his pale face as white as snow hidden under the black cloak, and looked coldly at the dozen or so big men opposite, his eyes were red, he was suppressing, suppressing the fiery anger in his heart.
At this moment, a cry came, which reached the ears of everyone present, and it was heard very clearly in this quiet morning, as if telling the hardships and difficulties of this journey.
The black shadow who had just raised his head heard the cry from behind him, and suddenly frowned, and then his whole face unconsciously became gloomy, and his eyes became even redder. I saw that his fists were clenched, his nails were almost embedded in the flesh, and the rusty knife on his back began to tremble constantly, as if he could no longer bear the loneliness.
"Not a single one!" the shadow said in a hoarse voice, almost squeezing the words out between his teeth.
As soon as the words fell, another black figure standing on the side had already rushed out like lightning, and the pitch-black and narrow knife was swung out again, followed by the third and fourth time...... There were constant screams and struggles, and people were constantly falling in pools of blood, although there were more than a dozen big men on the other side, but the strength of the two sides was still not half a star in comparison.
I don't know how long it took, but the alley finally returned to peace, and all the big men had fallen, lying in pools of blood, lying on the ground forever. The bearded man fell at the feet of the black shadow, with a pair of eyes that had not been blinded before he died, from the bottom to the top, staring in horror at the pale face above his head, his eyes full of remorse and unwillingness.
When everything finally calmed down, the black shadow with pale cheeks as snow finally turned around slowly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, as if he was extremely afraid to see the scene behind him, that person, and that pear blossom with rain face.
Ruyi looked at the black shadow that slowly turned around, biting her lip tightly, although she couldn't believe her eyes, but the person in front of her was exactly what she thought in her heart, the person she dreamed of, the person who always worried her, unintentionally.
That's right, this black shadow that suddenly fell from the sky was the heartlessness that came all the way, fortunately he didn't come too late, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life, and then maybe he would really become another heartless, a bloodthirsty Grim Reaper who no longer has feelings and no longer has mercy.
Looking at Ruyi, curled up in the corner, his face haggard, his hair messy, and his body in embarrassment, his heartless heart was hurting, more painful than after every serious injury he had, more painful than the more than ten years he had curled up in the dead man's pile in the stream of the dead, more painful than ever, and the pain was almost dripping blood.
He hated, hated that he didn't show up to her side in time, and let her go through a period of suffering that she shouldn't have experienced, he hated, hated that he didn't always guard her behind him as he once swore to the sky, and he hated even more that he didn't have the ability to strangle all the people who tried to hurt her outside the Phantom City, in the cradle.
The two of them stared at each other like this, quietly, for a long time. Finally, he struggled unintentionally and slowly opened his arms, this was the first and only time he opened his arms to a person that he thought would never be opened, this is an attitude, but also a kind of determination.
Looking at Wuxin, who was facing her with open arms, Ruyi was stunned, she would never have dreamed that she would be able to see such a scene happening in front of her with her own eyes, these were scenes that she had imagined countless times in her dreams.
At this moment, she no longer hesitated, struggled to get up from the ground, rushed to Wuxin frantically, and plunged into Wuxin's arms, feeling the faint murderous aura that had not completely dissipated, feeling the heart that was "banging" beating, she couldn't cry again, as if she had vented all the unhappiness and grievances over the past few days.
Unintentionally listened to the bursts of crying in his arms, let the tears of the person in his arms soak his clothes, did not speak, just quietly, tightly hugged Ruyi in his arms, feeling this scene that he had imagined countless times. I can't bear to push it away, I can't bear to interrupt, I can't bear to let her vent in my arms, as long as it can make her comfortable.
I don't know how long it took, the crying finally stopped, it seemed like a long, long time, but Wuxin hoped that time could be longer, and even hoped that time could stand still at this moment, so that he would hold her in his arms forever and never let go.
"From today onwards, I will never leave you alone again, and I will never allow anyone to hurt you in the slightest, I swear!" Wuxin stroked Ruyi's head with his hand, stroked the hair that was originally flowing but was messy at the moment, and said slowly, It sounds like the most tender love words in the world, enough to melt anyone's heart.
From this moment on, Wuxin finally left everything behind, forgetting all his concerns, and only one belief in his heart, that is, to always guard her side, no matter what happens in the future, he will no longer escape, and will not leave her alone.
Whether he admits it or not, the people in the rivers and lakes have already regarded Ruyi as his bloody and heartless woman, whether he accepts it or not, the enemy has already regarded Ruyi as a weakness that can blackmail him with a bloody knife and no heart, in this case, why should he deceive himself and push Ruyi away again and again.
Hearing Wuxin's words, Ruyi raised her head suddenly, looked at Wuxin with teary eyes, with a look of surprise, and asked suspiciously: "What you said is true?" Probably hearing the best words in the world, her lips trembled slightly with excitement.
Wuxin stared at Ruyi's eyes tightly, nodded heavily, and gave an absolutely affirmative answer. He had never seen Ruyi so haggard, and his whole heart was almost broken. He had never seen such a little woman as Ruyi, soft as a white cloud, rubbed into his heart a little bit.
Seeing the unintentional affirmative reply, tears flowed from the corners of Ruyi's eyes again, it seems that all the tears in this life have been shed today, but they are tears of joy and happiness.
Wuxin slowly stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ruyi's eyes, and then hugged her tightly into his arms again, feeling the tenderness that he had been looking forward to for a long time.
The morning sun on the horizon seems to feel this different kind of warmth in the town, and slowly rises, like a playful echo, emitting a thousand rays of light, shining in every corner of the earth, warming every lonely person under the sun.
In the bun shop, the boss hid in a corner far away, looking at a table at the door with a worried face, a little helpless.
On the table, there were three people sitting, two men and one woman, who were eating hot buns with their heads down, and it was Wuxin, Ruyi, and Leng three people.
They hadn't eaten in a long time, and they were all hungry. This may be the reason why the owner of the bun shop is so worried, because the "beggar" who was originally ignored by him turned back and sat in his shop, accompanied by two people who were not mortals at first glance, and he had just told the whereabouts of the "beggar" to a group of unscrupulous people.
But Ruyi didn't care, it seemed that she had already forgotten that at this time, she only had no intention in her heart, and she didn't even forget to stare at Wuxin's face tightly when she even ate steamed buns, for fear that when she lowered her head, she would choose to leave quietly again.
Wuxin didn't notice the boss's strange expression, his eyes were also focused on Ruyi's body, reluctant to move an inch, and enjoyed the most delicious breakfast in the world. When the layers of window paper were finally pierced, it seemed that everything came so suddenly, so turbulently, that people didn't have time to react, and they were already surrounded.
Of the three people present, it seemed that only Leng was the most redundant and the most embarrassed, he didn't care about eating, and he didn't know where to look at his eyes, so he looked at the boss hiding in the corner intentionally or unintentionally, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Looking at the man in black who only showed a pair of eyes on his body from time to time, he looked at himself coldly from time to time, and the boss thought that everything had been known by the other party, so he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground.
In a small bun shop, four simple people show four different states of mind, and they are also four destined for different lives, but no matter which one they are, they are all working hard for what they insist on in their hearts, fighting until they die......
However, the owner of the bun shop may be an exception......
