Chapter 38: On the Road Again (2)
"Of course I'm going to Luoyang, you know that. How do you ......" was asked by Murong Hui coldly, Liu Tiandong replied to her completely subconsciously, but when the words came out, Liu Tiandong suddenly reacted, it seemed that Murong Hui had something to say, so he turned his eyes to her, wanting to find the answer from Murong Hui's face.
Murong Hui was so smart, he immediately understood Liu Tiandong's intentions, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Liu is going to Luoyang, I know it, but the way to Luoyang is far away, and the dangers are unpredictable, I heard that there are bandits on the road, it is not safe for Brother Liu to go alone, Murong Hui intends to give Brother Liu another ride, and he can be regarded as a good person to do it in the end, how about it?"
When Liu Tiandong heard this, he waved his hand again and again without thinking about it, and said: "No, no, no, thank you Miss Murong for your concern, I am a poor scholar, I have no money and no power, and the thieves rob me of no value at all, besides, I will try my best to choose to take the big road, not the mountain road, let alone the night road, so there should be no problem, right? At this time, Liu Tiandong had already become a frightened bird, although, as Murong Hui said, the future of this road was uncertain, and he didn't even know where the direction of Luoyang was, but, compared with letting a stranger who he didn't know at all stay by his side, for Liu Tiandong, the latter seemed to make him feel more unsure, so the refusal was completely out of Liu Tiandong's instinct for self-preservation.
After Murong Hui saw Liu Tiandong's attitude, his expression did not change, and he still had a smile on his face, and said: Oh, it seems that Brother Liu has made up his mind, so I can't make it difficult for others. You and I will part ways after this meal, after a while, Mengdang's father will prepare some necessary things for Brother Liu, and Murong Hui will not send Brother Liu if he has something to do. “
Liu Tiandong thought that Murong Hui would insist again, but he didn't expect that Murong Hui not only did not be verbose, but answered very simply.
I didn't think about what to say at all, Liu Tiandong couldn't help but be stunned, who knows, Murong Hui actually stood up "pout", went straight down the small building, and left.
"This, what's going on? Could it be that he is too careful, is Murong Hui really just out of chivalry, and has no other intentions? Liu Tiandong, are you really living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain this time?" In this case, Liu Tiandong actually had no idea all of a sudden, and even had a little regret and annoyance, so he got up and ran to the window of the small building, leaned out to see Murong Hui's figure, and saw that she was striding in the direction of leaving the town, and she had already walked far away......
"Hey, Miss Murong, please stay, please stay!" Liu Tiandong shouted at Murong Hui at the top of his voice.
Murong Hui stopped, stunned for a moment before turning around and looking.
"I, I have something to say, please wait. Liu Tiandong shouted again, and then, he trotted all the way down the small building, and happened to meet the old man Mengdang who was holding a burden, and he didn't care about explaining to Mengdang, just nodded at him and hurriedly chased him out......
"Brother Liu, what else do you have to explain?" Murong Hui asked with his arms behind his back, still looking at Liu Tiandong with a smile on his face.
"I, I just want to say I'm sorry, there was a lot of misunderstanding just now, and I blame me for being too suspicious and misinterpreting your kindness, Miss Murong. ”
"Oh, is it? If that's the case, Murong Hui can't afford it, Brother Liu decided to go alone, that's your own business, I, an outsider, really shouldn't interfere, this is human nature, why is Brother Liu wrong? Maybe it was Murong Hui's abrupt words that caused Fang Cai's misunderstanding, in this way, it should be me who wants to apologize. Murong Hui was too good at speaking, not only did he not complain about Liu Tiandong in the slightest, but said that he was at fault, which made Liu Tiandong even more at a loss, and he only felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter.
"If, if you don't dislike Miss Murong, it would be really great if you could give me another ride. For a while, everything was in chaos, Liu Tiandong himself didn't know why, and he actually said such a sentence.
"Eh, I heard you right, didn't Brother Liu swear that he would go alone? Why did you change the hexagram in a moment, could it be that there was something hidden in the meantime?" Murong Hui asked with a slightly surprised expression.
At this time, Liu Tiandong also realized that he was indeed speechless for a while, hating himself for why he didn't have his brain before speaking, and now he was completely passive, how to explain it to Murong Hui?
"The two of you left in such a hurry, and didn't say hello to the old man, what did you mean?" At this moment, I heard the voice of the old man behind me.
So neither of them said any more, but it alleviated Liu Tiandong's embarrassment.
After a while, he saw Meng Dang panting and following him, still carrying the burden in his hand, followed by a young man.
"Miss Murong, why don't you say hello when you leave?, is it because the old man is not well entertained?" Meng Dang looked at Liu Tiandong and Murong Hui who were standing opposite.
"Dad, you still don't know who I am, come as you say, just go, unrestrained, what's the meaning, but Brother Liu seems to have other ideas, right?" Murong Hui said, she actually threw the question to Liu Tiandong.
Meng Dang looked at Liu Tiandong when he heard Murong Hui say this, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Liu, what's the matter with you, is it that the old man has offended somewhere?"
"This, no, old man, it's all my fault, blame me for being in a hurry and losing my manners, so that everyone misunderstood. What else can Liu Tiandong say now.
"Oh, I see, I thought it was just that? Meng Dang turned to smile and said, but when Liu Tiandong heard it, he felt that Meng Dang's words seemed to mean something else, but he had just made a misunderstanding, and now even if he was curious, it was inconvenient to ask again, so he had to endure it.
"I heard that Brother Liu is going to Luoyang?" Meng Dangyou asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm going to Luoyang. Liu Tiandong replied, and at the same time glanced at Murong Hui who was standing opposite.
"No doubt she told Meng Dang about me, but what does the old man mean by asking me this?"
Soon, Liu Tiandong's question was answered, Meng Dang nodded and smiled: "It's such a coincidence that Brother Liu is going to Luoyang, the old man wants Brother Liu to help with something, I don't know if you want to?"
"Help? What does he need my help with?" Liu Tiandong frowned, muttered in his heart, looked at Murong Hui, and then at Meng Dang.
"I'm an outsider in this era, what can he ask me to do?"
"Old man, don't make fun of me, you see, I'm disheveled now, I've reached the point of poverty, what can I do for you?"
"Hehe, Brother Liu, you are too worried! The old man heard that you are going to Luoyang, it just so happens that my cousin's parents are also in Luoyang, I originally wanted to send him to reunite with his parents in person, but I didn't want to meet Brother Liu, and there are too many affairs in my clan recently, and I can't get out for a while, so I want to ask Brother Liu to help me send this son to Luoyang, reluctantly, I don't know if Brother Liu can agree?" Meng Dang said with a sincere smile on his face, and as he said that he led the young man next to him to Liu Tiandong.
It was actually such a thing, Meng Dang asked Liu Tiandong to help him send this teenager to reunite with his parents. It stands to reason that this is just a matter of favor, but Liu Tiandong doesn't understand that just by virtue of this side, Mengdang dares to let himself take away his cousin, so he doesn't worry that Liu Tiandong is a bad person?
"This is in my time, but it is impossible? Not to mention how long I will stay in this era, whether I can find the answer when I go to Luoyang, etc., are unknown, how can I have anything to do with the people or things here?"
Liu Tiandong was stunned and didn't say anything on the spot, thinking about those messy things in his mind, but at this moment, he heard Murong Hui say loudly, "The eldest husband should be happy to help, since it is a way, what does the mother-in-law and mother look like?" Dad, don't worry, we have helped with this." ”
