Chapter 45: Confession Rejected
The two walked hand in hand in the night all the way, and the road was a mess. However, it is difficult to see the figure of the robbers, and it is difficult for the people to see it, and they basically hide in the dark and dare not come out.
The two of them were walking on the big street. In the dark, neither of them took the initiative to let go of their hands, nor did they speak, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility.
The non-stop internal breath between the two has long stopped, but Liu Ping'an feels that the electric sensation has been flowing between his fingers and his heart, his fingers are stiff by electricity, his heartbeat is accelerated by electricity, and his brain is also blank by electricity. He doesn't know how to describe how he feels at this moment, the only thing he can think about is which foot I should take in the next moment - Liu Ping'an only felt that his feet were all kinds of unnatural, and he always felt that it was very awkward to walk.
However, Ye Taohua didn't find Liu Ping'an's abnormality, presumably her situation was similar?
Suddenly, Liu Ping'an felt that he stumbled under his feet and almost fell, and when he looked down, it turned out that he was trampled on a wooden stick, so obvious that the wooden stick was blocking the way, Liu Ping'an didn't find it.
Ye Taohua laughed out loud with a "poof", which instantly broke the tranquility between the two. Liu Ping'an said curtly: "It's too dark, I didn't see it clearly." ”
Ye Taohua let out a "hmm" and seemed to believe his explanation. But after such a small accident, the delicate atmosphere between the two was blown away, and they began to talk and laugh.
The two walked another street, and Ye Taohua suddenly asked, "How long are you going to hold my hand?"
Liu Ping'an stopped, turned sideways to face Ye Taohua, even in the dark, he could see his eyes exuding fiery emotion, and then said heavily: "I'm going to hold Ye Taohua, I like you!"
Ye Taohua didn't answer, took Liu Ping'an's hand and walked forward again, not far from the inn where they were staying.
Liu Ping'an was uneasy in his heart, he had just confessed ruthlessly, but the other party did not answer, is this a refusal or acceptance? Or is it just a matter of listening? Liu Ping'an was cranky for a while, and was led by Ye Taohua to walk forward slowly, not knowing where he went. Fortunately, the other party has been holding his hand, the answer should be yes, right?
Ye Taohua stopped suddenly, Liu Ping'an finally came back to his senses, and turned his head to see that he had arrived at the door of the inn where he was staying. The door was closed, and there was no light coming out of the guest rooms, so I thought they were still hiding from the rebellion.
Ye Taohua took Liu Ping'an's hand, turned to the side and stood face to face, and said softly: "Okay, I've been holding you for so long, it's time to let go." ”
Liu Ping'an's face turned pale, is this considered a rejection?
"Don't be so hit, if you want to marry the daughter of our Hidden Sword Villa, you can't look like this! Ye Taohua said with a smile.
Liu Ping'an's heart warmed up slightly, fortunately, he didn't completely refuse, leaving a little leeway, so he asked, "How can I work hard?"
"That's up to you, I won't say anything about martial arts, just say that you have a monthly salary of one or two halves of silver every month, and you can only buy such a sword back in our Tibetan Sword Villa after working for a lifetime. Ye Taohua said and pulled out her sword.
I didn't pay attention to it before, thinking that it was just an ordinary steel long sword, but after so many battles, there was no trace on the blade of this sword, and it can be seen from this that it is an extraordinary product. Liu Ping'an's return air knife was already full of chips, and the scabbard was also broken, and now it was wrapped in a rag.
Liu Ping'an took a long breath and said, "Do you dislike me for this?"
"Alright, don't think about it. Come on, I'm optimistic about you!" Ye Taohua said and let go of her hand to knock on the innkeeper's door. At the door, it took a long time to explain that the door was opened, and a person looked out to see that it was the shopkeeper of the inn. When he saw that there were only two of them, he let them in.
This night, Liu Ping'an had insomnia. For the first time in my life, I confessed to a girl, and then the other party told me to come on. What does this mean? Liu Ping'an suddenly remembered the first time he confessed to a girl in his previous life, when he was still studying, and the other party replied with a word "oh", and then there was no follow-up. Have you been so miserable for two lifetimes?
Thinking of what Ye Taohua said about working hard, what should I work towards? Is it to make a lot of money or practice good martial arts? Or do I want both? Ye Taohua said earlier that there are more than a dozen masters in their family, and if they want to practice to that extent, it is estimated that their beards will be white.
As for making money, it's even more difficult! People can work hard for a few lifetimes if they just take out something, whether it's a weapon, a plaster, or something they don't know, how many lifetimes do they have to work hard to support others?
The night passed like this, and Liu Ping'an stayed sleepless all night, squinting his eyes for a while until it was almost dawn.
The biggest gain tonight is to recognize the fact that in essence, he is still a weak chicken! Although the repeated battles in the past few days have made his martial arts have made earth-shaking progress, but in general, he is not qualified enough, and he can be compared with people like Xiaomuzi, and compared with Yue Chonglou Su Tongge, he is a scumbag, not to mention his assets, not to mention the father of the landowner in the countryside, all his belongings can only be counted with copper plates.
The next day, the two of them slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and last night's big battle was very energy-and-physically exertioning. It is very likely that there will be another fierce battle today, and yesterday Fan Wuxian directly said that he would wait for the two of them outside the city today. Unless you've been a shrunken turtle in the city, you can't avoid those two.
Ye Taohua looked at Liu Ping'an's panda eyes and laughed out loud all of a sudden. In fact, she herself is similar, but she is covered up by makeup.
The two had breakfast at the small noodle restaurant opposite the inn, and then settled the settlement and started the day with the horse. If you can pass the level of black and white impermanence, you can reach Huai'an Mansion today.
"Are you going to go out just like that?" Ye Taohua hesitated a little.
Liu Ping'an didn't look back, and said lightly: "Let's go, what should come will always come, and you can't avoid it." Looking at the way the two of them killed the widows last night, they were always a little heart-warming. ”
After last night's war, the city of Haizhou was desolate, and there were sporadic fires that had not been completely extinguished, and smoke was constantly rising in several places. It is common to see crying people on the road, thinking that they lost their home or loved ones last night. Some officers and soldiers are organizing the masses to clean up the corpses on the streets, some of their own and some of the widows. You can't just let it fall to the ground, and if you don't handle it properly, it will lead to a serious plague.
However, many shops have already opened, and at this time, in the face of the trauma of war, the healing ability of the masses is always very fast.
The past is gone, and those who remain must survive.
