Chapter 287: Through Suffering
A person who likes to drink wine will inevitably take a few sips when he sees good wine, which is actually a hobby, just like a person who loves swords can't help but want to take it for himself when he sees a good sword.
Now there is wine on the table, the best bamboo leaves are green, and the aroma of the wine has reached Xiong Yu's nose, Xiong Yu is undoubtedly a person who still drinks, he likes to drink in large gulps, because he feels that this is pleasant enough, because he is willing to drink like this.
When I met an old friend I hadn't seen for many years, I should have drunk a lot of wine and had a good drink, but now Xiong Yu didn't have the slightest desire to drink.
The person sitting in front of him was his good friend, they had a happy intersection in Swallow Valley, Luo Qing was Xiong Yu's only friend in Swallow Valley, but now Luo Qing has become like this.
Just by looking at Luo Qing's swallow, you can guess how Luo Qing has been tortured, the scars on his face almost run through his entire face, and his legs have also been severely injured and turned into lame.
Xiong Yu really didn't dare to think that such a thing would happen to Luo Qing, Xiong Yu just looked at Luo Qing like this, Luo Qing just sat quietly like this, and the atmosphere suddenly became very strange.
Luo Qing suddenly got up and poured Xiong Yu a glass of wine and said, "Let's have a drink, I'm very happy to see you today." ”
Xiong Yu paused and slowly raised his glass, he wanted to give Luo Qing a smile, but he knew that he would be ugly when he laughed, because forced things would not be so natural for everyone to do.
Xiong Yu drank this glass of wine, and slowly drank this glass of wine, this was the slowest drink he had ever drunk in his life, because he was not happy, he was not happy at all, and Xiong Yu was even a little painful.
Xiong Yu saw that there was a smile on Luo Qing's face, it was the kind of smile he couldn't do, was Luo Qing also reluctant to give himself a smile? How many painful pasts were hidden under Luo Qing's smile?
Xiong Yu wanted to ask, but he was afraid of mentioning Luo Qing's sore spots, so he could only drink, but the taste of this wine suddenly became very strange, and this glass of wine made it difficult for him to swallow.
Luo Qing looked at Xiong Yu and smiled, "I can see that you want to ask me what I sent." ”
Xiong Yu is silent, and silence means acquiescence.
Luo Qing paused and said slowly: "I believe you also know that when we were separated last time, I followed Lord Yin Gu to another stronghold in Swallow Valley. ”
"I was determined to follow Lord Yin Gu for the rest of my life, because, because I liked her. ”
But when I arrived at another stronghold in Swallow Valley, there was an accident. ”
"The steward of that stronghold has been bought by Qi Tianxing, and the steward pretended to invite me and the Yin Valley Lord, but he secretly informed Qi Tianxing, and as a result, Yin Valley Lord and I were surrounded by Qi Tianxing's people that night. ”
"Fortunately, Yin Valley Lord Bing Xue was smart, so we escaped before Qi Tianxing's people could make a move, but we didn't escape too far, and they still caught up. ”
"There are not many people chasing after me, but everyone is a top master, and I fought to the death with Lord Yin Gu and was seriously injured in the end. ”
"I remember that the person who rushed to the front was the steward of the Yin Valley Lord's stronghold here, his name was Lihu, he was the henchman of the Yin Valley Lord, but he betrayed the Yin Valley Lord, the reason for his betrayal was very simple, that is, Qi Tianxing promised Lihu and others to move the Swallow Valley to Lihu's name after catching Yin Wanxue. ”
"Lord Yin and I were arrested, and we were locked up. ”
"There is a wall between me and the Lord of Yin Valley, a thick wall, I heard the voice of Lihu's beast insulting Lord Yin Valley, the shouts in the Lord of Yin Valley's house are like sharp knives, each knife is about to break my heart, but I can't do anything. ”
"I screamed desperately, desperately trying to rush out, but in exchange for a severe beating, Lihu found me when he was done, and he left this mark on my face with his sword. ”
"I used all the vicious words I could think of on Lihu, I hated him, he insulted the Lord of Yin Valley, I can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives. ”
"Lihu was angry and broke my leg and wasted all my kung fu so that I could no longer hold a sword, he didn't want to kill me, he just wanted to torture me, he wanted to see me suffer. ”
"I thought that I and the Lord of the Yin Valley would die in this cage, but there was no way out, and a little steward in the cell did not betray the Lord of the Yin Valley, and he secretly released me and the Lord of the Yin Valley with the determination to die. ”
"That's because I've become a waste, I have no effect on the Yin Valley Lord, I'm even a burden by the Yin Valley Lord's side, but the Yin Valley Lord hasn't abandoned me. ”
"Lord Yin Gu dragged my seriously injured body and carried me to Yuquan Town step by step, and we survived in Yuquan Town. ”
"Lord Yin Gu's injuries are too serious, and her internal injuries won't recover in a year, so I stay here to take care of Lord Yin Gu, so now I'm the second shopkeeper. ”
There were tears in Luo Qing's eyes, he looked in pain, obviously he didn't want to mention these things, this matter was like his nightmare, not thinking about it would make him miserable.
Xiong Yu suddenly grabbed Luo Qing's hand, Xiong Yu's hand was trembling, he held back the anger in his heart and said, "Where is Yin Wanxue?"
There is a mansion behind the Dragon and Phoenix Inn, this mansion looks very dilapidated, obviously an abandoned mansion, Luo Qing stood at the door of the mansion and said: "This is where I live with the Lord of Yin Valley, only one or two silver per month." ”
Xiong Yu nodded, and Luo Qing slowly pushed the door of the house open, there were a total of three rooms in the house, two living rooms and a kitchen for cooking.
It's noon now, wisps of green smoke are rising from the chimney of the kitchen, Luo Qing looked at the kitchen and smiled: "Lord Yin Gu must be cooking now, today you are blessed, you can taste the food made by Lord Yin Gu, his braised fish is a must, I guarantee that you will never forget it after eating it once." ”
The smile on Luo Qing's face was a little reluctant, Xiong Yu looked at Luo Qing and felt even more uncomfortable, he nodded and didn't say anything.
The curtain in the kitchen suddenly opened, and a woman in coarse linen clothes walked out of the kitchen, this woman had a smile on her face, but when she saw Xiong Yu, the smile on her face suddenly turned into astonishment.
Xiong Yu knew the woman in front of him, and the woman in coarse linen was Yin Wanxue.
Yin Wanxue has no good-looking hair ornaments on her head, no dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck, her clothes are no longer glamorous, her clothes are not even as good as an ordinary village girl, the woman in front of her is no longer the lord of the Swallow Valley who is in power, the woman in front of her is no longer the amorous Yin Wanxue, and now this woman is like a village woman.
Xiong Yu was stunned, Yin Wanxue immediately put down the curtain and hid in the kitchen, Luo Qing limped forward a few steps and said to Xiong Yu: "It is inevitable that a person will fall from a height to the bottom, she has been subjected to too many eyes and ridicule. ”
Xiong Yu reluctantly smiled and said, "I understand. ”
Luo Qing smiled and didn't speak, how could one person's pain and another person's understanding Luo Qing didn't say this, but Xiong Yu saw this sentence from Luo Qing's face.
There were deep cracks on the wooden table, the corners of the table were mutilated, and there was a small stone on the leg of the table so that the wooden table would not shake.
There was a braised fish, a pot of rice, two small plates of pickled radish slices on the table, and a pot of inferior rice wine on the table.
Luo Qing sandwiched a piece of fish to Xiong Yu and said, "Brother, try it, this is made by the Lord of Yin Gu himself." ”
Yin Wanxue kept her head down, Xiong Yu slowly put the fish head in her mouth, the heat was just right, and the taste was also delicious, Yin Gu Lord, who had always issued orders and never entered the kitchen, was cooking with his own hands at the moment, it was normal for women to cook, but Xiong Yu felt an indescribable bitterness in his mouth.
Xiong Yu tried his best to show a pleasant smile and said: "Sure enough, it is a good craft, I don't know how many times better than those famous chefs." ”
Yin Wanxue slowly raised her head and said, "Why are you here?"
Xiong Yu paused and said, "I was going to the capital, and I happened to pass by here. ”
Yin Wanxue looked at Luo Qing and then said slowly: "What about Xiaoyaozi?
Xiong Yu wanted to tell Yin Wanxue the truth, but what he said was: "Very good, my master is very good." ”
Yin Wanxue nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." ”
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward, and after Yin Wanxue said this, everyone began to be silent, no one knew what to say, no one knew what to say.
In the end, Luo Qing broke the terrible silence, Luo Qing poured a glass of wine for Xiong Yu and said: "Brother, you don't have to think about it, because now I live a good life, I live by my own labor, I have a table full of meals every day when I go home, if this kind of life was placed in the past, I couldn't even think of it, but now I live such a life, although the price paid is a little big, but now I am very happy." ”
Xiong Yu looked around, this home can only be described as a family with four walls, there is not a single decent furniture in the house, the only complete furniture is the table in front of him.
Yin Wanxue suddenly held Luo Qing's hand and said to Xiong Yu: "Luo Qing is really a real man, he became like this in order to protect me, he still doesn't dislike me as an unclean woman, he is still willing to have me, I really don't deserve such a man." ”
Speaking of this, Yin Wanxue's eyes already had tears, and she wanted to continue, but Luo Qing preemptively said: "Don't let you talk about this, everything is voluntary by me, and I already like you, now God has given me this opportunity to take care of you, it's too late for me to be happy." ”
Difficulties will make a person change, when you are really down, you will find the person who is really good to you, some people always have no time to find out, but it is not too late to find out, because now you are still alive.
Now Yin Wanxue is still alive, although she is not living well, but she found Luo Qing, although life is miserable, but she is very happy, how can a woman find a man like Luo Qing not be happy.
Life is not all material, there are many important things in life, but the most important thing is the person who lives with you by your side, and what about having a person who is willing to never leave you?
Hard times will always get better slowly, but some people will not always be by your side, so as soon as the opportunity comes, you must firmly grasp it, suffering will bring you pain, but it will also bring you unexpected gains.
