Ninety-Six: A Promise of Life and Death (II)
In the silent countryside, the sea of snow counts the hours and days next to each other. I just hope that the warmth will come again.
For three days, Xie Junhe's cold aura was gradually dissolved by various golden stone pills. However, when he woke up, he only asked "where is this", and after receiving the answer that he was in the bamboo garden, he sat in front of the window without saying a word, listening to the sound of pounding medicine outside the bamboo fence, the guqin was quiet, and the rustle of chess pieces tapping on the chessboard. His empty eyes were so dark that it was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive.
Xue Hai approached him and handed him a sweat towel soaked in hot water.
He subconsciously dodged and shook his head.
Xue Hai grinned, took one step, two steps, three steps, made a grimace and pushed the sweat towel in front of him: "Wow!"
Xie Junhe took it and wiped his face that was forever gray with dirt.
"Does it have to be three steps away from you?" Xue Hai let out a long sigh.
His eyes were slightly closed, which was already an answer, and no one knew why this guy forced himself to isolate himself so much. Wang Hong came once, and after saying a few words, he threw him out of the house with a tea bowl, and after scolding and scolding "I don't know what to do", he never saw the good-tempered old Mr. Wang appear in the yard. Liu Siren tried to get closer, but was startled back by his cold sword blade a few steps, leaving behind a sentence "Heartache is incurable!" Mo'er shouted earnestly, "Master", but he was thrown to the door with one hand. Feng Ruohan kindly called "Xie Shaoxia" twice, but he turned his face more resolutely and clenched his fists with a clucking sound. Only the sea of snow persevered beside him, giving a grimace from time to time, wishful thinking.
The only way to make Xie Junhe harmless is for him to drink. The wine made his silent gaze shine brightly, and the corners of his mouth tightened into a mean smile again.
The wine was sorrowful, and the wound in his chest was painful, he only frowned, and Ren's face turned pale instantly, and he didn't say a word. A jar full of fine wine, wafting with a mellow fragrance, but there was less bowls and bowls - the wine that Feng Ruohan could drink for half a month was consumed by him in one afternoon.
He suddenly raised the last bowl of wine to Chu Xuehai: "I'll leave tomorrow, girl." It's a bit of a part. ”
"Huh?" Xue Hai's eyes widened and flashed like black onyx, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know......," he said, once again looking out of the overly peaceful house.
"Are you still leaving?"
"I have to go, I've hurt enough people in this life, and I don't want to have more of this yard. ”
Xue Hai was stunned for a while, and squeezed his head to come up with a plan to delay the army: "At least wait for my brother to come back!"
Xie Junhe sneered: "If he hadn't been in trouble, he wouldn't have seen people for so many days." I won't leave you in the bamboo garden and ignore it. Senior Feng and Senior Liu are all masters, and they left you here to ensure your safety. But this guy is a fool again - he shouldn't have kept me. ”
"I just pulled you back from the ghost gate, and I was confused? When can you say a human word?" The scolding outside the door suddenly started, and Xue Hai was happy as if he had met a savior: "Brother!"
Xie Junhe was stunned, stretched his face and sighed: "Uncle Wang told me, did you gamble on your life?"
"I don't know who didn't take their lives seriously first. The wooden door creaked, and Chu Tao's handsome face appeared. The slender eyebrows are full of intoxicating smiles.
"Where's it? No one has eaten it?" Chu Tao came, and Xie Junhe immediately threw away the wine bowl in an instant and cocked Erlang's legs.
"What can I do with them?"
Xie Junhe's voice suddenly raised an octave: "If I were Jiang Ye, I would definitely draw my sword and slash you directly!"
"Alive?" Xue Hai was surprised as if he had seen magic, and his big eyes flashed and he giggled.
Chu Tao shook his sleeves, and conjured three strings of sugar gourds from behind him!
"Huh, ha!" Xue Hai suddenly regained his innocent nature, and took a bite of it, and the other two strings, one string was stuffed in Xie Junhe's hand, and the other string was stuffed back into Chu Tao's hand: "Shh, don't quarrel!"
"Who quarreled?" the two of them said in unison towards Xue Haidao.
Xue Hai blocked his ears: "Don't listen, don't listen!" jumped out of the door.
Chu Tao turned the amber sugar gourd in his hand, glanced at Xie Junhe, his gray face was floating with a simple smile, and waved the sugar gourd string in his hand a few times, it was not to throw it away, nor to eat it. Guessing that his image didn't look good, Chu Tao also laughed, and put the two strings of sugar gourds on the table: "Are you okay?"
"Almost, I really thought I wouldn't come back. ”
"It's dangerous enough, but fortunately, it's all over. ”
"Is it really passable?" Xie Junhe sighed and stared at the ground silently.
"How?"
"You're going to keep me in this bamboo garden like a pig all the time?"
The corners of Chu Tao's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he said in a steady voice: "I will deal with it, you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”
"No, you can't. I have to go. ”
"Go out and be cut down?" Chu Tao's anger was already revealed.
"Staying here in vain, polluting your courtyard and ruining the reputation of the people on the south bank, it is better to be a hero than to die by the long river a few days ago. Xie Junhe smiled coldly.
With a "snap", Chu Tao flicked his sleeves violently, and the wine jar on the table slammed into the door, bursting out of fragments: "Xie Jun and you really plan to break the jar?!" The almost roaring sound pierced the entire bamboo garden.
"It's a broken jar of dung, why bother to make others stink?" smiled arrogantly, coldly in front of him, and punched him head-on. His whole jaw trembled, and there was a buzzing in his head.
"Young master, don't!" he heard Liu Siren pull Chu Tao and whispered. Almost everyone stepped forward to stand between the two.
However, Chu Tao's anger could no longer be contained, and the sound of angry shouts was comparable to thunder, which shook the whole room and trembled: "Xie Jun and you listen, no one forced you to live, and no one urged you to die, don't take yourself too seriously! Do you think that if you die by the long river, you can let those bad things pass? That's right, it's in the past, your companions who are desperately chasing you look up to the sky and laugh, and hold your head to receive the reward, those bastards on the south bank open their mouths and scold Chu Tao for being blind, and there are no more Xie Junhe words in the rivers and lakes from now on." But are you willing to watch your enemies celebrate with your corpse? Are you willing to watch your unknown life and death of a plain girl being bullied? Are you willing to watch those real evil ghosts hiding in the shadows, smearing your Xie Junhe's notoriety while doing even more heinous things?
Susu, again Susu. Xie Junhe really felt a pain in his heart.
The scolding suddenly stopped, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Tao leaning on the long table with a miserable white face, pressing his chest, as if he was suffering from a severe pain, and the cold sweat had already covered his forehead. "Young master, don't be angry......," Liu Siren slowly persuaded.
"Of course I have to live. Xie Junhe covered the swollen half of his face, smiled silently and said in a deep voice, "Even if it is because of that fool who has not changed his face in the sword bush and declares that he wants to share the sin with me, he has to live." Even because of the nerd who endured me for ten years knowing that I was rotten and stinky, he had to live. Even if it was because the sky fell, he refused to get angry, and as a result, he jumped to his feet in a hurry because of my words, and he had to live. So I didn't dare to die on the North Shore and came back alive. But—"Look up to the sky, because I can't stop the moistness of my eyes anymore."
"But-ten years of friendship, I, Xie Jun and Ruo, dragged down such a brother, it is not as good as a pig and a dog......"
Everyone present was silent. A word, silently echoing in the air.
Chu Tao was stunned when he heard this, bowed his head and said, "With your brother, these ten years are enough." My words, take back. ”
"You're right. Xie Junhe smiled bitterly and turned his back on his face, "It's just a person who has killed people, and it is impossible to sleep peacefully." Although he is unwilling, he can make a mistake. ”
The turmoil died down in silence, and a warm breeze was blowing.
"That's right. But it's too late for you to break up at this point. What Chu Tao said counts. Chu Tao got up, stood in front of Xie Junhe, and smiled faintly, "You can't solve the problem where you hide." Everyone knows we're in this together. If you don't do a few decent things, I'll be the one who gets scolded. ”
Xie Junhe raised his head, meeting Chu Tao's sharp gaze and Xue Hai's innocent smile.
"Yes, Jun and Big Brother, escaping is not the way. ”
He took a deep breath and said to Chu Tao, "You say, I'll do it." ”
"If you don't want me to be scolded to death, let those people see that Xie Junhe is a man!"
Xie Junhe, who has been as hard as iron for ten years, burst into tears in an instant, bowed his head deeply, and said: "The head ......"
