"Hong Xiu, you are heartless." When Yun Yang said this, his expression was very thought-provoking. It was neither sad nor sad. Rather, it was like he was saying the truth and giving an evaluation of the situation.
"Haven't you heard? Man is like bamboo. " When Leng Hong Xiu heard his words, she hesitated for a moment before looking in front of her without even looking at him. It was as though there was something in front that was attracting her attention.
"Hmm? What do you mean? I don't understand. " Yun Yang did not see anything on the desolate street that had attracted the gaze of Leng Hong Xiu. However, he was attracted by Leng Hong Xiu's words.
"Bamboo doesn't have a heart; if it doesn't have a heart, it doesn't have a wound; if it doesn't have a wound, it doesn't fall!"
Many people understood this logic, but how many people could actually do it? If it was a few years ago, how could she understand this logic? However, the unforeseen event that had caused the heavens to tremble made her understand that if she really wanted to live on in peace, she must do so. She could only do this unintentionally and no one would be able to harm her.
Thinking about the past, Leng Hong Xiu no longer felt pain, nor did she hate nor feel sad, because anyone who let her down, or her family, or her simple and beautiful past, would have their bones broken.
Right now, what weakness did she have to be caught? If anything had to be said, it would have to be that stupid snake Sen Luo.
After interacting with all the despicable human nature for the first half of her life, changing a whole new era, she seemed to want to spend a whole lifetime with the goblin. She could not imagine it before, and had never included this in her own thoughts, but now, when she thought about it, there seemed to be nothing to reject, she was still a little worried about her brother. She only thought about how she would not let him experience cruelty and growth, and how he would never grow up and be independent. If he really wanted him to grow in that way, he might as well let him try to manage everything at this moment. Furthermore, in his younger brother's eyes, in this time and space, he was already a non-existent target. No matter how worried he was, he could not change this fact.
It was as if she thought of something and put down the past, everything could be done in an instant, but she did not know that when this moment came, there would be people who would not be able to wait until they left the world with unwillingness and resentment in their entire lives. Leng Hong Xiu had been relieved of her worries about the nightmare she had experienced in the past because she thought that the stupid snake had given her a completely new passion in her life, and now that she had put down her worries about her brother, it was also because the stupid snake had given her a new hope and understanding of life.
When Yun Ri Yang heard what Leng Hong Xiu said, he also fell silent. At the same time, an unprecedented feeling of pity and love emerged from his heart.
Just what kind of painful past had this man who was only four years older than him yet had experienced twenty years more than him? How could he be so extreme and cold before even standing up? Because of him, he was unable to close the distance between them no matter what.
Looking at the side of Leng Hong Xiu's face, Yun Ri Yang wanted to hug him and comfort him, but his steps did not move at all, "Hong Xiu, I feel that I already have some understanding of you, you despise love me, but I still want to give you the warmest thing, you do not need to believe, and I do not need to force myself to accept. I will not speak noble words, but I will look at you, accompany you, experience some things, or one day when you find happiness, these will all be things that I am willing to do, I only hope that you will allow me to be by your side."
If it was any other woman who heard this, it would be very difficult for her to not be moved by such selflessness. However, Leng Hong Xiu only coldly frowned.
He turned around and said coldly, "You think it's just a joke? Stop putting on a literary style, sweet words are useless to me, whether you are truly selfless or pretend to be magnanimous, I have already told you clearly, the rest is up to you! I still have a lot of things to buy. "
After she finished speaking, Leng Hong Xiu walked forward. Yun Ri Yang was initially intoxicated by her words, but now that she gave such a response, it was as if her passion had been poured over him. He immediately became listless.
Although he wanted to ask Leng Hongxiu what exactly a 'literary voice' was, but he had already walked dozens of feet away, so how could he dare to ask? He quickly led the horse and chased, anxiously shouting, "Leng Hongxiu, wait for me, I'll go with you!"
After catching up to Leng Hong Xiu, Yun Sun smiled and said, "Leng Hong Xiu, you really do have a personality. I was moved by my own words and you didn't react at all as you walked forward?"
"What's the use of being moved? Can it be eaten as food?" Leng Hong Xiu glanced at him snappily, "Since you want to follow me, don't create trouble for me when we leave the mountain city. Don't expect me to help you out if you get into trouble with me."
"Hey, Hong Xiu, you're not being kind like this. Although you don't like me, you can't change the fact that I'm still your friend. If a friend is in trouble, why can't you help me?"
The facts proved that Yun Ri Yang's ability to resist attacks was very strong. Although he was rejected by Leng Hong Xiu, the thickness of his face was still quite strong. However, after a while, he started to smile mischievously with Leng Hong Xiu.
"A friend's definition of me is to be slapped. As a servant, if I get into trouble, I will naturally not help." Leng Hong Xiu said as if it was a matter of course.
At the same time that Yun Ri Yang was stupefied, words that had yet to come to his mind came out, "Now that Sen Luo is gone, why did you come to find him? Isn't it because she doesn't care about her friends' troubles? "
Leng Hong Xiu fell silent.
Yun Yang was shocked and wanted to bite his tongue off. How could he ask something so stupid? Was Leng Hongxiu angry?
Actually, Leng Hong Xiu was also thinking about what Sen Luo was to her. If she could be considered a friend, she would reject the word 'companion' in her heart. It seemed that he had already crossed the line; a bedmate? Would she go all the way to her missing bed? Leng Hong Xiu once again rejected the idea; that was lover, but she was at most a lover towards Sen Luo. Even though he had disappeared and she was a little worried about him, she was still more unhappy about the feeling of being touched by him. That degree of concern, could it be counted as a lover's relationship?
Leng Hong Xiu couldn't think of anything, so she was at a loss as to how to answer Yun Ri Yang's question.
After a long while, he finally looked at Yun Ri Yang angrily, "You can try to get taken away and see if I'll come find you! "Humph!"
Therefore, the atmosphere between the two was pretty good, but because of Yun Ri Yang's question, it became much colder. In the following time, Leng Hong Xiu bought a lot of things to prepare for crossing the Wasteland, almost filling Yu Feng's back, and finally went to the east side of the city to buy a horse. Although it was not considered a godly horse, it had a lot of stamina.
After arranging everything, Leng Hong Xiu and Yun Ri Yang arrived at the largest inn in the city. Coincidentally, it was the first place they would eat after leaving the Wasteland.
After so many months, the shopkeeper could no longer recognize that she was the girl who wore strange clothes.
When she and Yun Ri Yang walked in, they received a warm welcome, which was naturally due to the fact that he could clearly see that she and Yun Ri Yang's clothes were made out of fine silk.
After eating the most sumptuous meal in the past few days, Leng Hong Xiu did not have many memories of her and Sen Luo's past. She wanted a room and went back to rest, because she still had a long way to go tomorrow, she needed to rest.
However, what she didn't know was that if she continued sleeping, it would create a huge problem for her.
At daybreak, Yun Rangyang and Feng You Ran had ordered for the three of them to appear in the courtyard. However, Leng Hong Xiu, who only slept a little every day and was brimming with energy, had not woken up at all. The three of them were extremely surprised and all cast their gazes towards the door of Leng Hong Xiu's room.
The door was closed, and the three of them were sleeping on the left and right sides of Leng Hong Xiu's room. They were sure that they did not hear the door open, which meant that Leng Hong Xiu was still asleep.
"Should we go wake Miss Leng up?"
They had to go back to the country immediately. Yesterday, when they went to look for the fourth princess, they discovered that the fourth princess had already changed her master, and the experts who had been guarding near the Yanran Restaurant to stop them from going to see her had all disappeared. From the people they had arranged to stay in the city, they found out that a month ago, the Yanran Restaurant had been emptied overnight, and they had searched the entire city, but had not found any clues, which meant that the fourth princess, Feng Yanran, had also disappeared.
Feng You Ran was worried that the captive of Yanran might have made a new move and this might have had something to do with the situation in the country. After all, a month ago, it was exactly when he discovered that Feng Jing Ran and Dugu Qing Kuang had disappeared.
If so, what had become of the situation at home?
Was it too late for him to rush back?
All of these guesses had caused Feng You Ran and Mu to not sleep at all last night, so today was the first morning. Leng Hong Xiu, who did not seem to sleep at all every day, was still awake today. How could they not be worried?
However, Yun Ri Yang did not say anything. Feng You Ran also did not say anything. She said that she wanted to wake up Leng Hong Xiu. Thus, the two of them made eye contact.
"We've all been tired these past few days. Hong Xiu probably forced herself to put up a brave front and slept on the bed last night, so we were a bit late. We'll wait for her and she'll get up soon, after all, finding Sen Luo is her belief."
Indeed, in the past half month, Leng Hong Xiu had not slept for more than four hours a day, and since she had not woken up yet, it was indeed possible for her to fall asleep for a bit longer than Yun Sun Yang had said. After all, if it was really too late, even if she flew into the country now, it would still be too late.
Therefore, the two of them sat down at a stone table in the courtyard and Mu Ren walked out. A short while later, a teapot and teacup were brought over, and after pouring tea for the two of them, he stood behind Feng You Ran and watched them drink it.
Ever since he had left Rising Sun's capital city, Mu Ran had been trying his best not to reveal his master's and servant's attitude towards Feng You Ran. Now, he was becoming more and more courteous, as if he wanted him to know that Feng You Ran's identity was not ordinary. Yun Ri Yang sneered in his heart as he pretended that he did not know anything.
As they waited, they waited until the tea had been changed into three different pots and the sun had risen. When the door to Leng Hong Xiu's room was still not opened, both Feng You Ran and Yun Ran felt that something was amiss and stood up almost at the same time, resisting the urge to go to the latrine. At the same time, they went to the front of the door of Leng Hong Xiu.
Inside the room, Leng Hong Xiu was sleeping on the bed as if she didn't feel anything. The three of them were shocked.
Yun Ri Yang had already rushed to the bedside and called out anxiously, "Hong Xiu, wake up, what's wrong?"
Leng Hong Xiu showed no signs of waking up, and Feng You Ran ignored the men and women's defenses as he immediately placed the blanket over Leng Hong Xiu's body. He touched the blanket from top to bottom, and said to Yun Ri Yang, "There are no signs of acupuncture points or medication, it seems like he has simply fallen asleep."
"How is this possible? If she were to fall asleep and we were so close to her, how could she not wake up? You should know how sharp Hong Xiu is. Yun Ri Yang's words immediately made Feng You Ran anxious, "What should we do then? Oh right, along the way, Leng Hong Xiu would occasionally get dizzy, but she refused to see a doctor. Otherwise, how could he have fainted so many times? "
