Chapter 8 Who is the beauty worried about?
The night was quiet. Zhuge Chunqiu and the woman in white each thought about their own thoughts and were silent. Only the crackling sound of the bonfire from time to time declares that the hearts of the two are not as calm as they seem.
Zhuge Chunqiu turned the roast rabbit in his hand, and the bonfire that was only separated by it, like a moat, rested between him and the woman in white.
This oppressive atmosphere made both of them sit on pins and needles.
After a while, the golden rabbit meat exudes an enticing aroma, and the crystal grease drips into the campfire, making a snorting sound and wisps of green smoke.
Zhuge Chunqiu pulled out the dagger he was carrying, cut off a rabbit leg, handed it to Yiren, and whispered: "Hungry! Eat, be careful of scalding!"
The woman in white was stunned, her pretty face instantly became like a red apple, and she didn't dare to look at Zhuge Chunqiu when she took the rabbit leg, only to hear an imperceptible voice: "Thank you!"
Watching Yiren carefully pick up the rabbit leg, slowly bring it to his mouth, open his cherry mouth shyly, and quickly close it, chewing it very slightly, Zhuge Chunqiu didn't feel stupid.
"Can you know your name?" After hesitating for a while, he asked the question that had been buried in his heart uneasily.
The woman in white trembled when she heard this, and the rabbit leg in her hand almost fell. Against the backdrop of the firelight, the pretty face became more and more red.
"Li Mengxin!" The voice was as thin as the sound of mosquitoes, and it was thanks to Zhuge Chunqiu that he was a person who practiced martial arts, with deep skills, deaf ears and clear eyes, and ear power far beyond ordinary people, so he could hear clearly.
The words evoked the memories of Zhuge Chunqiu's first entry into the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help asking: "You and the Li family in Jiangnan..." Speaking of this, he looked at Li Mengxin hesitantly.
"I am Li Mengxin, the eldest lady of the Li family, the person you are looking for!" Li Mengxin suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhuge Chunqiu calmly.
The rabbit meat in Zhuge Chunqiu's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at her in shock, his face full of disbelief: "You! actually know that I am looking for you?" His eyes were full of doubts, as the young master of the largest intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, he didn't know that the other party was the person he promised to look for when he first came out of the rivers and lakes, and the other party did know that he was looking for her.
Could it be that this was a bureau set up by the Li family from the beginning, waiting for him to drill it? Thinking of this, Zhuge Chunqiu's expression was shocked, and his heart ached inexplicably.
Li Mengxin looked at Zhuge Chunqiu calmly, and her voice was soft: "That day, after Sister Nangong helped me heal my injuries, she told me everything, I begged her not to tell you, don't blame her, okay?"
After speaking, Li Mengxin looked at Zhuge Chunqiu pleadingly.
Zhuge Chunqiu smiled a little sourly, it turned out that he was alone in the dark, looking lonely.
Zhuge Chunqiu's expression couldn't help but make Li Mengxin a little flustered and hesitant: "I'm sorry! I didn't think about how to face all this before I begged Sister Nangong not to say it." ”
The beauty's apology made Zhuge Chunqiu's heart warm, and he suddenly relaxed, why did he cling to it so much: "It's okay! It's my hypocrisy!" smiled very freely.
"You don't blame us?" asked Li Mengxin softly with a blushing face.
Zhuge Chunqiu smiled bitterly: "If you were me, maybe you would be the same as you!"
"Thank you!" Li Mengxin didn't know why, and let go of her heart with a long sigh of relief.
"The Li family also wants to fight for the world?" Zhuge Chunqiu looked at Li Mengxin.
Li Mengxin was stunned, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, and her tone was quiet: "Compared to the world, I look forward to a quiet life more." Speaking of this, her expression was lonely and sad.
Zhuge Chunqiu suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry! When I help the Li family win the world, we will accompany you to forget about each other in the mountains and rivers, okay?"
"It's okay! It's my gaffe!" Li Mengxin said apologetically.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little delicate.
"Tomorrow we will go to the Great Sui Relic Treasure!" Zhuge Chunqiu broke the silence and looked at Li Mengxin.
Li Mengxin smiled, shook his head and refused: "You better heal your injuries first!"
"How can that be done? There is a danger of being discovered a day later. Zhuge Chunqiu was very excited.
Tears were rolling in Li Mengxin's eyes, and her voice was choked: "Your poison is there, right?"
Zhuge Chunqiu was stunned, and his tone was free and easy: "It's just a little poison, why worry about it!"
"It's just a little poison, why bother? Have you made enough trouble? With your skills and identity, the poison in it will make you unable to eradicate it in a short time, will it be a small poison?" Li Mengxin suddenly reprimanded Zhuge Chunqiu with emotion.
Zhuge Chunqiu choked and sneered: "It's really okay!"
"I'm sorry!" Li Mengxin blushed and apologized in a low voice.
At this moment, Zhuge Chunqiu's heart was drunk, he smirked, and Li Mengxin's head was lowered.
After a long time, Li Mengxin plucked up the courage to look up at Zhuge Chunqiu and pleaded: "Chunqiu! Promise me, I'll go again when I'm injured, okay?"
Zhuge Chunqiu bowed his head and was silent, frowning and thinking.
"Thank you for your concern! However, a day late is a little more risky to be discovered. I promise you, as soon as this matter is over, heal immediately, okay?" Zhuge Chunqiu pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked at Li Mengxin and said seriously.
"You nerd, what's more important than life?" Li Mengxin was full of anxiety.
Zhuge Chunqiu stared at Li Mengxin, as if he wanted to imprint her deeply in his mind, and said word by word: "You! are more important than my life!"
Li Mengxin looked at Zhuge Chunqiu blankly, stunned.
"When I broke into the Great Sui Relic Treasure alone, I prepared for the worst. I don't know if I'll ever see you, and I don't know if you'll remember me if I'm gone. ”
"All of this, just because you need it!"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Chunqiu stopped, hesitated, and continued: "If because of me, let you give up the secret treasure at your fingertips, I can't pass this hurdle in my heart! I was brought up by my master since I was a child, and I don't know who my parents are, I only know that happiness depends on myself to fight for it!" Zhuge Chunqiu felt collapsed and his mind was blank.
Li Mengxin's tears could no longer be suppressed, and she roared sadly: "Is it worth it? I can't give you what you want, I can't give it!"
"Why?" Zhuge Chunqiu seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak.
"Just because I am the only bloodline of the Li family! In the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, it is equivalent to the supreme treasure book of the "Qinglian Sword Codex". Li Mengxin's face was hideous, and the hatred on her body was monstrous.
Zhuge Chunqiu looked at Li Mengxin at this time distressedly, and sighed: "Qinglian Sword Classic! As far as I know, the Li family has been searching!"
"If you have the "Qinglian Sword Codex" in hand, how can the Li family decline like this!" Li Mengxin couldn't say how sad and helpless.
Zhuge Chunqiu lowered his head and was silent, all this was in Li Mengxin's eyes, just opened a trace of his heart, re-frozen, his eyes were dim, helpless, and desperate.
Suddenly, Zhuge raised his head and said firmly: "I can't represent the master, but as long as I live, no one can hurt you!"
"You..." Li Mengxin's face was full of surprise, and she looked at Zhuge Chunqiu in disbelief.
"I'm not afraid of death, why be afraid?" Zhuge Chunqiu looked at Li Mengxin fixedly, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Li Mengxin's expression changed, sometimes happy, sometimes hesitant, sometimes painful. This made Zhuge Chunqiu feel distressed, and he wanted to come forward to comfort him, but he was apprehensive.
"I'm sorry! We're not suitable!" After a long time, Li Mengxin looked at Zhuge Chunqiu and said resolutely.
Zhuge Chunqiu's face was full of surprise, and he looked at the beauty in front of him fixedly, and the two looked at each other.
"Understood!" Zhuge Chunqiu said calmly.
At this moment, Li Mengxin's delicate body trembled, and a red tear was left in the corner of her eye.
"Wow!" The long sword beside Zhuge Chunqiu suddenly came out of its sheath, and the sword body in his left hand slashed, and in Li Mengxin's stunned eyes, blood soaked the sword body.
The long sword slashed, pointed diagonally at the sky, turned and turned, the sword body crossed a graceful arc in front of the body, fixed in the right hand pointing back to the ground, hand and body, sword and ground forty-five degree angle.
"Spring and Autumn! Don't!" Li Mengxin exclaimed, looking shocked.
"Heaven and earth are the witnesses, the blood sword is the contract, and the oath will not be extinguished if it does not die. Zhuge Chunqiu, swearing! Protect Li Mengxin in this life! Heaven and earth are the witness, and the blood sword is the covenant!" Zhuge Chunqiu looked solemn.
"Zhuge Chunqiu, you bastard, why? Why do you do this?" Li Mengxin burst into tears.
Just for Pingshui's glance, this thought haunted my mind. Wield the sword to cut the dust, but the feelings are tightly wrapped in the heart. In this life, only Qing Cangsheng smiled, in vain he called himself a chivalrous hero, and he owed Qing a lot of love for his children in his previous life. In the present dynasty, this life is only for Qing, and the land is for Qing. ”
Zhuge Chunqiu's oath made the frozen love in Li Mengxin's heart shattered and ceased to exist.
