Chapter Ninety-Five: A Strict Trade-Off
The three of them were around the fire and began to talk about their experiences with Yan Hou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info。
Yan Hou completely lost consciousness after falling into the river, and when he woke up, he was already in a mountain stream. I don't know how he got into it. Just when he couldn't hold it anymore, a young girl who was collecting medicine rescued him and took him to a barbarian tribe, where the tribe's doctor was already helpless. But the girl who collected the medicine actually begged the great witch of the tribe to take action, and saved Yan Hou's life as if she were coming back to life.
After receiving the training of water, the severe injury recovered quite quickly, and he was able to move soon. Just when he was recuperating from his injuries, there was a huge change in the tribe. I don't know where a giant python came running and was eating people everywhere around the village. The tribesmen thought that the mountain god was angry, so they organized sacrifices, hoping to exchange sacrifices for peace. The sacrifice they chose was the girl who collected the medicine.
Strict and natural do not follow. In order to repay the grace of saving his life, he went to the mountain alone, searched for three days and three nights, and killed the giant python in the valley. After that, he said goodbye to his people. He had already been rushed to the territory of the Eastern Kingdom, and when he came out, he heard rumors that there was Wang Chen everywhere, and he went to Wang Cheng as soon as he pondered in his heart. When he saw Li Su and Su Hao going to the City Lord's Mansion, he had been waiting in Ruomu City for three days.
After listening to what he said, Wang Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Boy, don't you have any thoughts about that girl?"
"Thoughts?" Yan Hou was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red to the base of his neck, "No... ”
Both of them looked at him, their heads bowed into the fire, and the sticks in their hands were completely unfocused. Even Li Su didn't believe it anymore, "Really?" She happily walked around in front of Yan Hou, squatted on the ground, and looked at him with curiosity on her face.
"Really... really not. Yan Hou said as he poked the wooden stick off with a "snap", "What can you think?" He took half of the stick, scratched it up on the ground, and said it in a tone that was a little unusual.
"Eh, what's on your neck?" Li Su suddenly cried out, and she pointed to her thick neck as if she had discovered a new world. There was a red rope tied there, which was not available before.
Yan Hou was silent for a moment, and took off the rope from his neck, on which a small domino was tethered. He scrubbed it with his hand and handed it to Li Su, "This is what she gave me." ”
Li Shu glanced at him and took it carefully. The material of the dominoes is very ordinary, like cow bones, but it is very delicately made. One side is engraved with barbarian patterns, characters, and on the other side there are only two crooked "peace". Li Shu looked at it, and his heart suddenly became soft. She was a woman, so she naturally knew what it would mean for a woman to be willing to make such a peace charm so carefully for this man.
The corners of Wang Chen's mouth hooked, and he could know what the meaning of this talisman should be by looking at Li Su's expression. Seeing Yan Hou drooping his head and looking unproductive, he couldn't help but slap his head with a palm, "You kid, what the hell did you do? didn't bring my younger siblings out to me!"
"No," Yan Hou looked at him, lowered his head and pulled up the dirt, "Nothing happened between us. ”
Wang Chen paused, became serious, he sat down next to Yan Hou, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "You kid, if you don't fight when you should fight, you will regret it for the rest of your life." We all want you to be happy. ”
This time Yan Hou did not speak, and he was silent for a long time. I remembered in my mind that I was taken back to the village by the girl, and I took care of her all night long, and she knelt in front of the great witch and begged him to save her. After being able to move, I accompany her every day to fetch firewood, carry water, and look for mushrooms, although I can't understand many words, but we are very happy together. It's different from the happiness with Wang Chen and Changlin. She taught herself Barbarian language, taught her Chinese by herself, and watched the sunrise and sunset together every day. I want to laugh when I think about it.
And later, she was tied to a high altar, and her heart seemed to be tied to the altar as well. I can't wait to slaughter the whole village and take her away. When I returned to the village with the python, I saw her eyes at first sight. There is no luck in escaping death, and his eyes are full of worry about him.
He remembered that when he left, the girl sent him out of the valley and secretly put this peace charm in the palm of his hand. They really didn't do anything, not even say a word of promise. But along the way, her eyes would appear in her dreams every night. Is this called love?
Wang Chen saw that his face was cloudy, and his heart was already clear, and he asked, "What's her name?"
"I don't know, I don't remember the name in the barbarian language. Yan Hou said in a low voice, "But she asked me to call her Atul." ”
"Do you like to stay with her?" Wang Chen touched his bald head, and spoke like a big brother for the first time.
"I like it, but I also like to be with you. Yan Hou raised his head and asked with a confused face.
Wang Chen patted his head, "Then think about it, if you sleep at night, do you want to hold me in your arms or hug her?"
Yan Hou's face froze, he glanced at Wang Chen with contempt, moved two meters to the side, and replied, "She." ”
"Isn't that right?" Wang Chen didn't care about this, and the eyes of both of them became disdainful, but they grinned, "I'm sure you're in love with that girl." How about it, do you want my brother to accompany you back and snatch her over?"
Yan Hou was stunned for a moment, he reached out and took the domino handed back to him by Li Shu, and fell silent. Wang Chen didn't say anything more, he pulled Li Su and sat aside. This time the silence was surprisingly long, Wang Chen and Li Su were already asleep when they were leaning together, and only then did they hear a low and dry voice ringing out, "Still not." ”
"Huh?" Wang Chen woke up suddenly, he rubbed his eyes and looked at Yan Hou, "What did you say?"
"Still not. Yan Hou repeated.
"For..."
"Why" Before he could say anything, he was severely gagged back into his mouth, "The world is not at peace, how can it be home!" he stood up abruptly and shouted. Wang Chen looked at his bloodshot eyes, and swallowed all the words back into his stomach with a "grunt". The two looked at each other silently, and did not speak for a while.
After a long time, Yan Houcai let out a long sigh and sat back on the edge of the fire that had been extinguished, "Ah Chen, I just want to accompany you wholeheartedly to complete this road of kings. It's a long road, and there's no more loyalty. ”
Wang Chen looked at him helplessly, not knowing whether to feel moved or scold him for being stupid.
"When the world is calm, you can accompany me again. Yan Hou laughed, he said.
Wang Chen reached out and touched his bald head, "Well, definitely." ”
"Then I'll settle my business, and tell me about your experience. Yan Hou put away his lonely look and said.
"I..." Wang Chen thought for a while, and was about to speak, when suddenly a rolling thunder sounded in his head, "Oh no!" he slapped himself on the head fiercely, "Forget her!"
