Chapter 9 His eyes were full of nostalgia and longing.
After Mu Wangqing left, Xiaoyue faced a table of feasts alone. Logically speaking, she should have been very happy before, but now that she was enjoying it all by herself, it was like chewing wax.
Xiaoyue, who was bored with interest, was poking at the rice in the bowl. However, the sudden appearance of a person cheered her up. It was the scholar! He actually came to this tavern. What about him? Did he lose track?
Xiaoyue listened to their conversation, but unfortunately she was too far away to hear anything. She only saw the scholar say a few words and then turned and left.
After the people left, Xiaoyue went to ask the shopkeeper, and then she found out that he was going to stay in this tavern and even live in the last house of her trip. Thinking of this, Xiaoyue was trembling. She was going somersault. Suspicious criminal No. 1 lived together! If he became murderous, wouldn't she become a dead soul under the knife? Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end.
Xiaoyue rubbed her arms and decided to go find Mu Wangqing. She walked through the endless crowd. When she was about to walk past, the crowd in the distance suddenly started to commotion.
"The horse is frightened! Get out of the way! Quick!"
Everyone staggered and fled away. Xiaoyue was squeezed in the middle and was at a loss. Unexpectedly, after struggling several times, she was pushed to the ground.
"ah--"
The pain coming from under her legs made Xiaoyue cry out in pain. She knew the danger was approaching and wanted to support her body, but the pain penetrated her bones and made it difficult for her to stand up. However, the frightened horse was gradually approaching, and right before At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky and hugged Xiaoyue and instantly came to a safe place on the other side.
Because she was afraid that Xiao Yue held onto the other person's clothes tightly, but the coldness on her hands still made her instinctively let go of her hands. When she was about to raise her head to say thank you, her words stopped abruptly and her eyes widened.
The person opposite looked at Xiaoyue's stunned expression without speaking for a long time and smiled.
"Girl, do you know me?"
Xiaoyue shook her head like a rattle in denial, and her whole body jumped to the other side like a spring, muttering to herself.
"I was hiding from you before it was too late. How could I know you?"
"How did I offend the girl, why are you so alienated from me?"
The man frowned, his face full of confusion.
Xiaoyue was shocked and hurriedly denied it.
"No, never. It's just that I'm anxious to find a certain friend. Okay, it's time for me to go."
Xiaoyue had just taken a few steps when she felt a sharp pain in her feet. Seeing this, the scholar immediately walked over and squatted down.
"If the girl doesn't mind, I can carry the girl on my back."
"No, I can walk."
"The girl has not accepted my kindness for a long time. Do you think you dislike me?"
Xiaoyue suddenly felt embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. She felt in a dilemma. After thinking about it, it was better to let him carry her on his back, so Xiaoyue had to acquiesce in him carrying her.
The scholar felt the person on his body trembling from time to time, so he quickened his pace.
Xiaoyue couldn't bear the biting cold feeling, and with countless questions in her mind, she asked.
"You, why are you so cold?"
The man's face was stunned, and he smiled comfortably.
"A cold-hearted person will also become cold."
"Huh? I don't understand. I don't understand very much."
The man chuckled and shook his head helplessly.
"The girl is really cute. Then I would like to ask, why is the girl so wary of me?"
Xiaoyue was originally very satisfied with his compliment, but she didn't want his next words to make her suddenly stunned.
"Ah~ didn't the adults say that children should not talk to strangers?"
Child? The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he felt funny in his heart. At the same time, he thought she was very interesting, and he curved his lips and smiled.
"Yes, you have to be wary of strangers. This way, unfortunate things will be much less likely." Halfway through the man's words, he suddenly suppressed his smile and looked expressionless, which made people feel inexplicably surprised.
Looking at the faint trace of sadness in the eyes of the man opposite me, I knew that he must be thinking of someone or something?
"Have you ever experienced unfortunate events?"
The man's eyes trembled, and the past suddenly came to mind.
"Yes, there is a person in that story. She is very important to me, so important that I can't live without her..."
The man murmured, his eyes suddenly shone with light, and although his expression was slightly sad, his eyes concealed a deep attachment and longing for the person he was talking about.
When people look at it, they can't help but feel moved in their hearts.
