Chapter 240: Runaway Ruyi
The biggest taboo between people is deception, whether the lie you tell is a casual joke or a big lie, the final outcome is the same, it will be a scar in the heart of the deceived person, but some can heal, and some have become a lifelong regret. Even if it's a white lie, the consequences can be something that catches you off guard.
Wuxin frowned, bent down to pick up one of the darts that had fallen to the ground, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face. It is a dart with a sudden shape that looks like a swallow flying high. Swallow Darts, the weapon of the Jade Rakshasa, is also a token of the secret agreement between Wuxin and Zhan Ying.
Wuxin looked in the direction the dart had just come from, and once again fell into deep thought. The Jade Rakshasa is dead, why did the swallow darts appear again? Could it be that the Jade Rakshasa is not the only one who uses the swallow darts? Or is there a certain connection between this mysterious person who did not appear and the Jade Rakshasa? I don't understand it......
A shout sounded from Xiao Er, waking up Ruyi, who was leaning against the window and distracted. Ruyi turned his head and glanced at Xiao Er, who was smiling, couldn't help but shook his head, and suddenly hoped that he was an ordinary mortal who could no longer be an ordinary mortal, without having to experience the fights and killings of the rivers and lakes, and without worrying about the many deceits, like this Xiao Er, I really want you to never see his sad face.
But she couldn't, though she wanted to, because there were still things she couldn't let go, and there were some people she couldn't let go, and one of the reasons was him, the one who always haunted him, the one who terrified all his enemies. Although he was strong enough, so strong that he was almost omnipotent, she would rather he be a mortal like Xiao Er, like herself, away from the chaos of this world, find a secluded place, and live in peace.
"Ruyi girl, it's time to eat. Leng who was standing near the door said slowly at this time, with a respectful attitude. Since Wuxin left, he has been staying here, back and forth inside and outside the door, the farthest distance is only a door panel, because Wuxin has told him not to let Ruyi lose a hair, so he sticks here day and night.
Ruyi turned around and looked at the table full of dishes full of colors and flavors, but she couldn't muster a trace of appetite, because there was one less person in front of that table, someone who could make her sad and happy.
"You said that if we all became mortals like Xiao Er, wouldn't we have so many troubles?" Ruyi sighed, said slowly, sat down at the table, picked up a pair of chopsticks, but didn't know where to start for a long time. It seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be asking for answers.
"No, it won't. Leng replied briefly.
Hearing Leng's answer, Ruyi glanced up at Leng, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "It seems that you are the same as me, and I hope that you are an ordinary person." ”
Leng shook his head at this time, and said slowly: "I said no, which means that no matter what kind of person we are, we will not be free of troubles, no matter who we are, from the moment we are born, we are already destined to be who we are, what road we want to take, and what kind of troubles we want to have." Xiao Er also has Xiao Er's troubles, but he hides it too deeply, and we don't see it. "He's right, the word annoyance, originally the word heart, as long as you have a heart, there will definitely be trouble, no matter who you are.
And some people are indeed destined to be something, like him, maybe he is destined to be abandoned from the moment he was born, and then destined to embark on the road of rivers and lakes, destined to follow Wuxin's side until death. He didn't think that there was a right or wrong in this matter, he only knew that it was his fate, he chose to accept it, and Wuxin, the young master, was definitely qualified to let him follow him all the time.
After listening to Leng's words, Ruyi rolled his eyes helplessly, and couldn't help but shake his head, he now found more and more that Leng had been poisoned too deeply, and the way he spoke, his usual demeanor, was becoming more and more like Wuxin, as if he had fallen into evil, as if he could imitate Wuxin. She didn't know, maybe that's one of the reasons why so many people would be willing to follow the unintentional.
Thinking of Wuxin, Ruyi couldn't help frowning, put down the chopsticks that had not fallen, looked out the window, and said to himself: "He has been away for five days, should he have come back a long time ago?" Once people are idle, they often can't help but think about it.
Leng knew each other very well this time and didn't answer. In fact, he was more worried in his heart, but he didn't show it, because he knew where Wuxin went and what he was going to do this time, but he could only be in a hurry here, and he had nothing to do, and he only hoped that Wuxin's trip would go smoothly.
As the sun sets, another day is coming to an end, but those who are waiting still haven't returned.
Ruyi still leaned lightly against the door, watching the sunset in the distance gradually set, and the sunset reflected on her face, shining a little red. His face seemed a little haggard, perhaps because he had been thinking about Wuxin these days, and he had eaten every meal tastelessly and very little, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
She had already made up her mind, if Wuxin hadn't come back before dawn, then she would go to Jiangcheng in person tomorrow to see what Wuxin was doing. Her instincts told her that something must have happened to Wuxin.
At this moment, the corners of Ruyi's mouth suddenly showed a smile, a knowing smile, because he saw a person, a person who stepped on colorful auspicious clouds and rode a horse towards him. He's coming.
After a while, a cold voice came from outside the house: "Young Master, you're back!" There seemed to be a hint of excitement and relief in his voice.
"It's been hard these days, go down and rest. A hoarse voice sounded, it sounded like it had been a long way, and there had been no water in the mouth for a long time, and the smell of wind and sand could be heard.
Ruyi smiled, hurriedly walked to the table, poured a cup of tea that had just receded, and faced the door, waiting for him to appear in front of him.
Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a familiar figure appeared at the door, it was none other than Wuxin, who had returned from Ling'an City after a long journey for a few days, with a dusty face, but he couldn't see a trace of tiredness, because maybe he knew that someone was waiting for him here, all the time.
"How's it going? It's not a big deal, right?" Wuxin saw Ruyi standing at the table, and with a smile on his face that he hadn't seen in a long time, he strolled into the room. Ruyi hadn't woken up before he left, and he didn't know if there was anything unusual.
"It's okay, everything is fine. Ruyi said softly. As he spoke, he raised his arm, handed the teacup to Wuxin, and motioned for Wuxin to drink it, which could be regarded as washing the dust for Wuxin.
Wuxin smiled, and a warm current rose in his heart. Stretched out his hand and took the teacup in Ruyi's hand, raised his head and drank it all, as if he had drunk the best thing in the world.
Ruyi smiled, walked to Wuxin's side, and gently patted the dusty cloak for him, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart, he knew that Wuxin must be afraid of worrying about himself, so he rushed a long way.
But suddenly, Ruyi was flapping Wuxin's cloak hand and stopped in mid-air, looked up at Wuxin's eyes, bit his lip and said, "You lied to me!?"
Wuxin, who had just finished drinking tea, was stunned by Ruyi's sudden words, and then frowned and said, "What?" The muscles at the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, as if he had understood something.
"Didn't Leng say that you went to Jiangcheng to find the Murong Hall Master? Let me ask you again, is it true?" Ruyi stared at Wuxin, her eyes didn't blink, and her lips were already red from her bite.
Wuxin's brows furrowed even deeper, paused, and said lightly: "No." He really couldn't lie to her, because he couldn't bear it.
"You went to find them, didn't you? Why did you let Leng lie and lie to me?" Ruyi looked at Wuxin and asked, his fists clenched tightly, as if he was already angry.
"I'm just afraid you're worried. Wuxin said slowly with a hint of apology, he didn't expect Ruyi's reaction to be so big, and he regretted that he didn't say goodbye at that time.
"I'm afraid I'm worried, then why are you going? What if you have something? What if you can't come back? Do you want to leave me alone?" Ruyi asked loudly, almost hysterical.
"I ......" didn't want to explain, but was interrupted by Ruyi with a flick of his hand.
"Okay, needless to say, I'm tired and need to rest. Ruyi said expressionlessly, turned around as she spoke, and no longer paid attention to Wuxin.
Wuxin looked at Ruyi, who was angry, sighed secretly, and left the room helplessly. Ruyi's loss of control surprised him, he had never seen Ruyi so hysterical.
After leaving unintentionally, Ruyi, who had her back to the door, suddenly fell on the table, and she had already burst into tears, but she stubbornly gritted her teeth quietly and did not let herself cry.
She had already guessed what Wuxin was doing, and she knew that all this was just because of herself, she knew that Wuxin couldn't see that she was wronged, even if it was a little, he must have gone to Hongyu to take revenge, so he went for so long, and let Leng deliberately make up nonsense to hide from her.
But the more Wuxin did this, the more sorry she felt for him, because she seemed to be a burden to him forever, and was used by the enemy to deal with him three times and twice. So she was angry not at Wuxin, but at herself, because the more Wuxin cared about her like this, the more she felt that she was useless, and she was not even qualified to stay by his side, because with her, Wuxin would always encounter more danger.
Wuxin didn't really leave, but kept guarding the door of Ruyi's room, because this was the first time he saw Ruyi so out of control, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he stayed outside, although he was already very tired.
In this way, one was lying on the table in the room, and the other was standing under the eaves, although they knew that the other was beside them, but they were separated by a stiff door panel, and they did not say anything all night......
