Chapter 40
Chapter 40
"What's wrong?" Li Hongge asked with concern when he saw that his expression was different.
Wen Shugeng cast his eyes on him, and suddenly felt some indescribable emotions in his heart.He was trapped in the numbing dream of ice and snow, and no one could wake him up. The unchanging dream of the previous day finally changed.
Someone trampled that place, broke in there!It literally tore open a hole in the endless nightmare, giving him hope.
Why did Li Hongge know that footwork?Could it be that the person in the dream is him?
He felt a little disappointed.
Under the abyss, a ray of light once fell before his eyes, and he desperately tried to hold it, full of hope.The person in front of him is gentle, handsome and modest, and he is also like-minded, not a rough and mean person.But Wen Shugeng was disappointed for no reason.
Gu Yi's breathing was still in his ears, and he asked him stubbornly and aggrievedly: "Why am I not in your dream?"
Wen Shugeng's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and Gu Yi said to him: "You are mine." But when he didn't know it, did he miss the hands of others?
Annoyance and pain swept over Wen Shugeng instantly, he almost felt sorry for Gu Yi, even though he seemed to have done nothing wrong.
Li Hongge was even more worried when he saw that his face was pale, his fingers were clenched tightly on the hilt of the sword, and his body was tense.
"Brother Wen?" He stretched out his hand to touch Wen Shugeng's shoulder.
But Wen Shugeng was suddenly pulled, and Gu Zhishi who didn't know when to arrive pulled him into his arms.
Li Hongge's hand was empty, and seeing Wen Shugeng obediently let him hold him even though he was dazed, his mind quickly turned away.
Gu Zhishi asked him softly: "Are you all right?"
Wen Shugeng was full of melancholy, he couldn't breathe for a while, and he didn't care about Li Hongge in front of him, so he stretched his hand behind his back and grabbed Gu Yi's hand before he felt at ease.
He coughed lightly, looked at Li Hongge, and said apologetically, "It's nothing. Just now, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, and I was a little absent-minded for a while, which made you worry."
Li Hongge smiled heartily: "I'm impatient. When can't we dance the sword? We'll compete again in the future. Brother Wen and Brother Gu, it's getting late, let's go have breakfast together."
The three of them walked towards the dining room, bypassing the pond overgrown with grass, Wen Shugeng pretended to be casual and asked again: "Your footwork is light and handsome, and I don't know where you came from to make such a masterpiece."
Li Hongge said modestly: "It's all about groping around on your own when you have nothing to do. Brother Wen praised you."
Wen Shugeng's heart sank.I am afraid that he is the only one in the world who knows that sword technique.In that case, does he know nothing about the dream?
Wen Shugeng couldn't help casting an inquiring glance at Li Hongge, only to see that the profile of this man was clear, his eyes shimmered, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.
The two of them met for the first time in Changzhou that day, Li Hongge didn't seem to have much impression of him, they both said it was their first acquaintance.
But what is that dream, that snow world?
After the meal, Gu Zhishi told Wen Shugeng that he had to go out to handle some church affairs, and Wen Shugeng agreed.When he went out, Wen Shugeng gently listened to him, grabbed his sleeve and whispered: "Come back early at night."
He is quite attached to Gu Zhishi these days, Gu Zhishi's heart is so soft that he almost doesn't want to leave him even half a step.Wen Shugeng pushed him again, saying: "Go."
Gu Zhishi reluctantly left.
Wen Shugeng stayed in the room to read, but he couldn't calm down, all the things in the dream were turning over and over in his mind.
There is only endless white snow, and he can't figure out anything.
That year he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he forgot all his past events, and his life experience was told by the owner of the villa.But he is indeed not a fool. After all these things, combined with the owner's secretive attitude, he should know that his origin is not that simple.
Where can a rootless person return?
The door was knocked, Li Hongge's handsome face came into view, he smiled warmly: "Brother Wen, would you like to go out with me and help me?"
Wen Shugeng stood up: "Naturally. I don't know what's going on?"
Li Hongge asked someone to prepare the horse, and Wen Shugeng and Wen Shugeng rode each other, and took him out of the city.
Xuyang City is rich and prosperous, and the surrounding villages are far from being poor and remote. The houses are all renovated, the fields are criss-crossed, and the irrigation channels are convenient.
It's just that this village, although the houses are well arranged, is sparsely populated, there is no sound of chickens crowing or dogs barking, and the bamboo shadows are deep green, covering the place, looking a bit desolate.
The sound of horseshoes was especially clear in the silence, breaking the dead silence.
The door of a wooden house in front of him opened suddenly, and a woman rushed out stumblingly, with a sad expression and fire in her eyes, she looked at Li Hongge excitedly.
Li Hongge got off his horse, Wen Shugeng followed, and just as he stood still, he heard the woman shout: "Second Master Li is here!"
The voice pierced through the clouds and fog, loud and hasty, but with a strong sense of powerlessness and desolation.
Li Hongge's expression was no longer as complacent as before, and now he was approaching the woman, who held his hand tightly, her lips trembling uncontrollably.
This situation is a bit strange.Before Wen Shugeng could see anything, he heard a commotion, the sound of the door being pushed open one after another, the sound of footsteps hitting his ears heavily, and the whole village seemed to come back to life suddenly.
Groups of villagers gathered around, all of them looked at Li Hongge with agitated expressions like the woman, looking at Li Hongge with grief and expectation.
The woman swallowed her saliva, stretched her neck forward, and asked Li Hongge cautiously: "Second Young Master, is there any news?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the surroundings quickly fell silent. Everyone held their breath and did not dare to breathe, as if a knife was resting on their necks.
Wen Shugeng glanced around, feeling a little frightened. These people stared straight at Li Hongge, but his eyes were very familiar to him.
It was exactly the same as Shen's father looked at him at that time!
Li Hongge's voice was full of regret, he lowered his head slightly, and replied sadly: "Not yet."
For a moment, it seemed as if a strong wind was blowing, and all the bamboos were bent over. Layers of bamboo shadows covered the bodies of every villager, and their faces looked gloomy.
I don't know who sighed, and then it spread quickly like a plague. People were downcast and sighed again and again, and some women and children cried sadly.
It was their feeble appearance that made Wen Shugeng suddenly realize that there were almost all women, children and old people here, and there were very few young and middle-aged people.
Li Hongge stood up straight, and said earnestly: "Folks, Yarizhuang has guarded Xuyang City for a hundred years, and will not just watch you lose your loved ones. We have sent hundreds of people to look for the whereabouts of your loved ones. Please don't be too sad to ruin your body, we will meet up one day, you have to take care of yourself to persevere."
Standing in the crowd, he was well-dressed, but he had no arrogance, and his sympathy could not be concealed in his words, which had appeased the villagers to a great extent.
Just now the woman wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said gratefully to Li Hongge: "Second Young Master, we all know, if it wasn't for you, why would someone come to ask about our lives?"
There were tears in her eyes, and her eyes were black and blue, obviously exhausted for a long time. "Where is Yarizhuang that we can climb up to? It is your kindness that makes the decision for us poor people."
She was so sad that she was on the verge of falling, Li Hongge held her arm, lending her strength warmly and from a distance.
All around said yes. "Second Young Master, we are all counting on you!" "Thank you Second Young Master!"
Li Hongge was also very moved: "You don't have to worry. Hongge will do everything possible to help everyone, and will definitely find your blood relatives for you, if..." He hesitated and stopped talking, not wanting to make these villagers lose hope.
"If anything happens, I beg Second Young Master to help us avenge our hatred!" An old man said tremblingly. He was leaning on a cane, his back was arched high, and his face was flushed, "My son has been gone for three months. My old man is not a fool, I'm afraid he's dead, I..." He choked up, and then whispered again, "It's fine for the white-haired person to send the black-haired person, I only hope that he will be buried in peace, don't die It's unclear."
"Yes!" A woman holding a child, with tears still on her face, said stubbornly, "I can't let my man die outside in a daze."
"Yes!" "Let's be fair!" Everyone responded, all of them excited, obviously the long-term disappearance of their relatives had sharpened their sanity.
Li Hongge's jaw was tense, his eyes were sharp and determined, and he seemed to be upright and awe-inspiring when he first met him. He vowed: "Don't worry, everyone, Hongge will definitely seek justice for you, and we will never let our villagers miss out." Disappeared for no reason."
On the way back, Li Hongge and Wen Shu Geng Dao explained the ins and outs.About three months ago, eighty villagers in this village suddenly disappeared, and they were nowhere to be found.And they are all young men. Many families lose their mainstay without a man, and life is very sad.
Li Hongge clenched his fists, with a sad, indignant and disgusted expression: "My elder brother only knows how to intrigue, but he doesn't care about the people in the village. When I came back this time, I only planned to clarify the facts with my father and continue to travel far away. I don't need to look at him like that." Face. But these people are so helpless, but I can't turn a blind eye."
Wen Shugeng said: "You stayed because of this incident?"
Li Hongge said: "Although I don't admire power, I also know the benefits of power." He sighed and said helplessly, "If I don't know anything, I can't help them much. But I am the second son of Yarizhuang. Then you have the right to control your disciples, so you can track down the whereabouts of their relatives for them."
Wen Shugeng looked at him, and couldn't help feeling somewhat sympathetic: "Most people with righteous hearts are like this. Hongge, I admire you very much."
Li Hongge said sadly: "I only want power, and I will not change my will."
Wen Shugeng stood quietly with him for a long while before Li Hongge spoke again. He looked deeply at Wen Shugeng: "Brother Wen, I hope you can help me before I come."
Wen Shugeng said: "Naturally. What do I need to do?"
"Xu Fuzhong, I've seen it before, and the returning formation is strange. I want you to set up a situation with me to get the method of returning to the formation."
Wen Shugeng's heart skipped a beat, and he heard his surprised voice: "Get the method of returning to the battle?"
"No." Li Hongge explained eagerly, "Of course it's not to follow the example of that returning to the army to offer sacrifices to find these people. If that's the case, what's the difference between me and that shameless Xu Qin?"
He held Wen Shugeng's hand, his palm was dry and warm, his eyes were bright and clean: "I think, if you find the source of the return, maybe you can know the way to find someone."
Wen Shugeng's heart moved slightly, and the surprised expression just now disappeared. He blinked slowly, and smiled slightly: "You are right. If you can recover the dead, why can't you reveal the trace? Should we Figure it out."
Li Hongge lowered his eyelashes, hiding a little shadow in his eyes, and said: "Brother Wen, although it's a setup, I will definitely not let you be in danger."
He looked up at Wen Shugeng again, with sincerity in his eyes: "Let's go back and talk about how to set up the situation in detail."
"Okay." Wen Shugeng answered quite easily.
……
As it was getting late, Wen Shugeng went out slowly and wandered on the street.The world of mortals is all unfamiliar to him. He is indeed as the owner of the villa said, growing up in the mountains.
Although he didn't know what the owner wanted, but in the name of his adopted son, Wen Shugeng couldn't deny that the owner was kind to him, but in terms of feelings, he didn't seem to be very close.
When he was recovering from a serious illness, he saw Song Ziyu. Even though he had forgotten all the past, when he got along with the owner of the villa, he shouldn't feel any familiarity at all.
On the contrary, it was the day I met Gu Yi.The starlight was faint, and he was sleeping in the river, which made him feel extremely familiar, as if he had met day and night.
The painful and obsessed "Master" still rings in his ears, Gu Yi's appearance is really hard for him to ignore.
Gu Yi's master is still looking for him infatuatedly, and he has never forgotten it for years.And what about myself?Has anyone ever called his name in the middle of the night?
For some reason, Wen Shugeng felt a dull pain in his heart.Along the way, all the people I saw had people who really wanted to find them, and they were all weighed down by longing and struggling to breathe.
They pinned their hopes on returning to the battle, and cruelly wanted to exchange their lost blood for the lost.Only Xu Yiyi, kind and gentle, did not want to harm him.
What about Gu Yi?Gu Yi knows that he can find the master he misses so much for him, will he feel that it is painful to stay by his side?He was so close, he had too many opportunities, a knife could find his master back for him.
Gu Yi stayed by his side, but was he ever restless?While tossing and turning, did he stare at his back and ponder for a long time?
Wen Shugeng didn't know what Gu Yi thought.He was a little scared.
Along the river, Wen Shugeng paced back and forth aimlessly.He didn't see that in an antique shop on the left, Gu Zhishi was going down the stairs.
His subordinates told him that in the cave of Xun Xiangyu, the catfish is still alive and well, guarding Xun Xiangyu.And their people searched all over, but there was still no whereabouts of his master.
And the news from Song Ziyu's investigation is even more pitifully limited.It is only known that more than three years ago, he came from a family of officials, and no one in the family knew where he went.
It was as if he and Wen Shugeng came from beyond the sky.
Gu Zhishi suffered from severe headaches. For several months, he mistook Wen Shugeng for his master, and now he was very upset, and he didn't know when he would be able to find his master.
He walked down the stairs, just as Wen Shugeng walked in front of him, Gu Zhishi was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and hurriedly called him.
When Wen Shugeng heard the sound, he stopped to follow the sound, but Gu Zhishi, who was striding forward, slipped through his sleeve and held his hand.He raised his head slightly and called him softly: "Gu Yi."
The voice was a little fascinated and a little dazed.
Gu Zhishi was startled: "What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry, the leader invited me to eat wontons." But he suddenly smiled again, his eyes were bright, and he pointed to a steaming wonton shop on the street.
Gu Zhishi took his hand and walked over there.
After eating the small wontons, the two walked back along the gravel road.
The moonlight fell under the feet, and there were people coming and going around, but no one noticed the two people who behaved intimately.
Wen Shugeng has never been a person who was imprisoned. He didn't want to be troubled by his heart. Since he hesitated, he asked calmly.
Holding Gu Zhishi by the corner of his clothes, he slowed down his pace, and said, "Last night, I heard you raving and called for Master."
Gu Zhishi's heart tightened suddenly, and he was at a loss: "I..."
Wen Shugeng smiled, and looked up at him: "It was that time, you said you would recognize the person even if you were ashamed?"
Gu Zhishi couldn't lie to him.He nodded, but his heart sank for a moment. He always felt that something was about to come out, dangerous and frightening. Step by step, he walked between him and the person in front of him, and his body became extremely cold.
"Do you want to find him?" Wen Shugeng asked softly.
Besieged on all sides, Gu Zhishi strangely found something frantically running in his cold blood. It was an attachment to Master. With a hoarse voice, he said with absolute certainty, "I must find him."
Wen Shugeng's eyes were full of tenderness, as if he was very satisfied with his firmness, but what he said made Gu Zhishi fall into an ice cellar.
The beautiful thin lips opened and closed, and said unhurriedly: "Returning to the battle, you can chase anyone in the world."
As if Gu Zhishi had been hit hard, he looked at Wen Shugeng in disbelief.He pinched his fingers tightly, he almost wanted to rub the man in front of him into his arms, rub it hard, and not let him leave him at all.
How dare he!How dare you say such a thing?He misses me so much?How could I be willing to use that return to hurt him just because I want to find Master back!
If it wasn't for the fear that she would hurt him, Gu Zhishi would have hugged him tightly right now.
"I won't." Gu Zhishi said bitterly, "I won't let anyone hurt you. I will find Master myself, you..."
He turned his back desolately, with a soft and helpless voice: "You are my most important person. How can I be willing?"
"Gu Yi," Wen Shugeng called him from behind, with a voice as innocent as a child's, "You won't want me for the sake of Master, will you?"
He asked him one sentence after another: "The master you call in your dreams, the master you will never forget in life and death, can't shake my position in your heart?"
Gu Zhishi's heart softened, he couldn't help but turned around and looked at Wen Shugeng's watery eyes that seemed almost aggrieved.
He almost forgot.At that time in Muwu Village, Wen Shugeng was almost sacrificed successfully. He was so helpless and scared, and he couldn't help trembling when he held him in his arms.
He always said that the formation was an evil book, and he said coldly that since he was chosen to be reincarnated, he would stop those ignorant people from hurting others and themselves.
But he was not disappointed.
Those people didn't see him, they only saw another soul in him, and their passionate and longing eyes were not on Wen Shugeng.
Wen Shugeng witnessed the madness and powerlessness of those people's pursuit.He was just afraid that Gu Yi, the person he liked, would one day sacrifice him for a more important master.
But Gu Yi won't, Gu Yi gave him a lifelong promise, like a hot kiss on his ear: "You are you, master is master, you are equally important to me. I will find master, I want him Witness for you and me."
He looked at him fixedly: "I will marry you."
Wen Shugeng's eyes suddenly became hot.One word from Gu Yi is enough.He will never doubt again.
He said silently in his heart: How can I be willing to make you suffer because you can't find Master.I will help you, I will try to figure out the return, and I will find the master for you.
Wen Shugeng said: "Promise me, you will not harm others by returning to the battle, and you will not do such obsessive and foolish things like Li Cheng. You are not allowed to trade your life for your life, your life is mine."
Gu Yi's gaze was sincere and earnest.He was taller than Wen Shugeng, but he looked up at him as if he was kneeling on one knee, devoutly as if worshiping a god, he said: "I promise you."
Wen Shugeng smiled, he raised his head, but his eyes were stubborn and stubborn, like a beloved thing that Chihiro had found, his heart was agitated, and he naturally called out emotionally: "Kiss me."
Regardless of the din of people around him, Gu Yi hugged him without thinking.
A kiss was imprinted on the lips.He said: "Trust me."
Wen Shugeng closed his eyes and leaned in his arms with peace of mind: I believe you. "
The author has something to say: I love dog blood, this subtle and fragile misunderstanding is really amazing beauty. (It's not boasting about myself, it's boasting dog blood!)
