Gu Qingzhou had a brief tinnitus. She couldn't hear other sounds. Only the mechanical sharpness stabbed her eardrum like a needle.
There is wind on her face and under her feet.
Her arms were heavy. She was lying on the trunk, and her ears couldn't help listening to the sound of the root breaking.
Maybe it's just her illusion.
Then she felt Cai Changting pulling her and lifted her up the trunk so that she could ride on it.
The trunk shook and fell a little.
"On... Off..." Gu Qingzhou road. When she spoke, she clearly felt the diaphragm. Even she couldn't hear it clearly.
"Nothing." Cai Changting also looked.
He saw that a small part of the tree root had turned up.
If they delay further, the tree will be broken by them.
Cai Changting's people should come after them to save them, right?
In his heart, he calculated silently and tried to hook himself up.
He also sat on the trunk, even picked up Gu's boat and took the initiative to move to the root of the tree.
When he moved, the roots of the tree broke more to the extent visible to the naked eye.
Gu Qingzhou ran too fast before and then fell too fast. It took a long time for her tinnitus to end. She could hear the wind whirring through the valley.
She laughed at herself, clasped the trunk with both hands, and let Cai Changting hold her waist: "two people... I'm afraid they can't hold it. Changting, you should throw me down first."
Cai Changting looked down.
The morning fog has not yet dissipated. You can't see how deep the canyon is and what's under it.
"Have strength now?" He asked.
He hugged her arm tightly and did not relax for a moment.
Seeing this, Gu Qingzhou felt sorry for him: "Changting, I'm really not your straw to save your life. Now..."
"I know. I've lost." Cai Changting continued her words.
At the moment of falling, his heart was also blank for a moment. He grabbed a vine blindly.
Now sitting on the branch of a tree, he had a boundless fear in his heart: what if he didn't catch anything just now?
Now, is he going to fall to pieces with Gu Qingzhou?
People are really vulnerable.
No matter how powerful the thinking, life experience and physique are, they are so helpless on the edge of life and death.
Like Gu Qingzhou, if it weren't for Cai Changting, she couldn't save herself even if she caught the vine. Her arms were out of force because of bondage, and she couldn't work hard at all.
She's so smart. Now she's smart in five steps. Can she save her?
Cai Changting was stubborn and refused to admit defeat. He thought he had a chance to start over.
At this moment, he can finally confess his failure.
He lost.
From the moment the royalist followers and funders were picked up by Gu Qingzhou, they were defeated, and the Japanese military could not save them.
"You're right." Cai Changting said slowly, "when I was young, I was too ambitious and went the wrong way. If I had been down-to-earth from the beginning, I would return home and work under a small warlord and replace it in a few years.
Today, as you said, there is a territory. When others fight, they have the spare power to fight back. They are not as passive as they are now. "
Gu Qingzhou smiled.
"Back to the shore." Gu Qingzhou said, "you haven't done anything harmful to nature and reason, and you are young and beautiful. If you change your target life, you will have your own future."
Cai Changting sighed.
Gu Qingzhou said, "the life I want most is to live in seclusion with Si Xingyu in a small place. I cook, play the piano, fish and collect lotus on weekdays. How about you?"
Cai Changting thought about it.
His desire for power is nothing more than because he was discriminated against from an early age.
His mother is also a big family. Unfortunately, she didn't listen to the family arrangement and insisted on following his father.
His father Cai Longtou had a wife at that time, and going to Japan was just a refuge.
His mother was pregnant with him and was not allowed by the family. After Cai Longtou came back, she dared not divorce and marry her, so she gave birth to Cai Changting and soon died of depression.
From then on, Cai Changting lived with an old servant sent by Cai Longtou.
When he grew up and became more capable, his grandparents would recognize him. Of course, it was also a very contemptuous attitude.
He is so beautiful that many people have made up their minds about him. Among them, there are countless grievances.
Everyone who fantasizes about going to heaven step by step has suffered too much pain and grievances. He wanted revenge, and his enemies were too many and too strong. He wanted to make them all kneel down and then walk under his feet.
The process of getting stronger step by step is too slow and the effect is too weak.
These forced him to go this way.
He and Mrs. Hirano had the same goal, and he was ready from the beginning.
His life plan was so neat, but he never thought that when his life was hanging on the line, the tree supporting him under him was shaky. He left the burden of Gu Qingzhou, and the tree could be strong for a moment, but he hugged her tightly.
His arms and his heart all hugged her, and no one thought of leaving her.
If we go back five years and someone tells Cai Changting that he will have another person in his heart, even heavier than his life, he will ridicule each other.
He has no feelings for people.
No one can leave a trace in his heart.
He had lived so many years and had enough intelligence, so when he knew that he would never loosen his arm around Gu Qingzhou, he gave up.
"I..." He thought it over.
Thousands of things, like the wind in the valley, passed through his limbs and bones. What he wanted most floated in his heart, "I want you to live most."
Gu Qingzhou was stunned.
Cai Changting looked up.
After so long, his people haven't caught up with him. He thinks they should have dispersed in a mass.
Huo Yuanjing ran away, letting them see the uncertain future. These killers were only cruel and had no loyalty. They abandoned him.
The tree on the cliff has half of its trunk broken, and the remaining half is difficult to support them.
If they delay any longer, they will fall first before the Secretary Xingpeng arrives.
Cai Changting suddenly leaned over and kissed Gu Qingzhou on the forehead.
Gu Qingzhou instinctively wanted to step back, but the remaining reason kept her still.
Once back, she will fall.
"The era of warlord scuffle is almost over." Cai Changting said, "I am no longer qualified to occupy the mountain as king.
I can't do it. No one is qualified to call me. The tone I endured all my life was completely broken. Canoe, I really lost. "
The roots of the trees behind him broke many roots and made a sour squeak.
There are no footsteps on it.
The rescuers did not come.
If you delay any longer, the tree will break completely and take him and Gu Qingzhou to the abyss.
The woman embellished his pale life with color.
He thought he loved her.
Love made him a little human, which was the only glory in his life of more than 20 years.
He can't fall into the abyss with this brilliance.
Not ten minutes, but two people together.
Ten minutes later, the company can't get there, nor can the rescue.
But without him, the tree can last 30 minutes.
By then, help may have arrived.
This is shallow and slim vitality.
A person's vitality.
Cai Changting pushed Gu Qingzhou to her bosom and kissed her on the forehead: "don't forget me."
After that, he loosened his hands and fell down without hesitation. It was like practicing thousands of times to keep the last light of others' sex.
Without his support, Gu Qingzhou almost fell down. She lay on the tree and watched Cai Changting's body quickly disappear into the morning fog. Slowly, she heard an echo.
