I admit that I am sometimes impulsive, and I don’t know what I will do when my head gets hot. I was slapped so hard that I didn’t expect it, but I was really angry. I was angry with Cheng Baize for pretending to be okay with me when we had dinner in the morning.
The same thing is said to him to solve this matter. I dare not think about it deeply. The more I think about it, the colder my body and mind feel. Kill me but save me. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? It really seems to be said by Zong Bao.
, he is so hard to see through, being an executioner and a savior at the same time?!
Probably because he saw me standing still, Cheng Baize took my wrist and took two steps towards the pair of scattered stones. He pointed at the formation gate and said, "You can tell that this array gate has been scattered for some time."
Seeing that I didn't respond, Cheng Baize let out a helpless breath and continued to speak: "I did do something wrong. More than three years ago, I went to your house to lock the door. After that, that night I followed Master's instructions and came to the river.
While doing this formation, after finishing it, I left..."
"More than three years ago?"
I raised my eyes, looked at him and frowned: "You mean, you made this gate together with the locked door the night the fire broke out in my house?"
Cheng Baize nodded and looked at me with a bit of guilt: "At that time, I just knew that I did this just to save myself from the disaster. I don't know you, but when the truth came out two years ago, everything
It all happened too fast. I was injured by the Five Thunder Palm that night. I had to go back to the south to recuperate. There was no time to come back to deal with the matter. And you are also an Onmyoji. We are born to dispel evil. She is just a
It's just something in the water. I didn't pay much attention to it, and I almost forgot about it. It wasn't until I figured out that something bad would happen to you here that I remembered it again, and then I followed you.
Yes, I don’t want you to misunderstand me. If you give me a little more time, I hope I can handle this matter properly before something happens to you. Otherwise, do you think I am willing to go down there and suffer."
I frowned slightly: "Then why didn't you tell me the truth from the beginning? Instead, you hid it. If you told me clearly, do you think I wouldn't understand you?"
Cheng Baize glanced at the seemingly calm river with some helplessness: "What do you want me to say? Do you want me to tell you how deliberate I was back then? I just don't want to complicate things and increase everyone's dissatisfaction."
It's just a pleasure. Besides, grandpa is still here, and people talk too much. If I talk too much, it will be troublesome. I just want to finish this matter as quickly as possible. Grandpa is fine, and you are fine. This matter will be over.
."
I opened my mouth, but couldn't speak. He really didn't have time to deal with it in advance, and I left my hometown with my father on the morning of the fire. When I came back, I was only in a hurry just to visit the grave.
, when he knew that I was the person he was looking for, he was injured that night. Even if he came back, he would follow me to Hong Kong, and he didn’t follow me until something happened to me——
My mind was in a mess, like a rough, thick thread. I saw the end of the thread, but I didn't know if it really should be pulled out.
"Jiaolong, if I hadn't known you, I wouldn't have thought anything I had done was wrong, but you are my only friend and the friend who has affected me, so I feel that I have done something wrong before.
You are right to be angry, I have no objection, you can do whatever you want until you feel comfortable."
I lowered my eyes, but didn't want to ask any more questions: "Go back."
What he said was indeed reasonable. Since it happened more than three years ago, all his mistakes should have gone away with that slap.
But I was still awkward and couldn't express myself. I just lowered my head and turned around to leave.
If it were any other person to do this, I might not be able to forgive me. I have been dead for so many days, and not only did I have to walk around underneath, but my grandfather almost came down to accompany me, but his explanation
It should be acceptable, but I don't know why. I feel very tired, as if I'm in a strange environment. He gave me a pair of blurry eyes, and I can only move forward. I can't see clearly and even somersault.
I can't go back and say anything to him, it's very tiring.
"Jiaolong! Are you still angry?"
He called me behind me. I stopped, looked back at him, and twitched my lips: "You said it very clearly, how could I be angry with you? It's just that I don't know if I am as good as myself."
I know you as well as I thought. I’m tired. Grandpa is still waiting for me at home. I’ll go back and rest first.”
Cheng Baize looked at me but frowned slightly: "Do you think I was cruel to that thing?"
I still shook my head and didn't want to say anything. My ears might be able to hear the truth, but there was a feeling that I couldn't explain clearly. It was a very strange feeling. Even though I already recognized his explanation in my heart, it was still strange.
I turned around and walked a few steps, and he suddenly became quiet behind me. I walked to the dam on the river bank, exhaled, sniffed and turned to look at him: "Go back! Here...Cheng Baize?!"
Cheng Baize's body that should have been tall and upright was now hunched in the night, his waist bent deeply downward, his right hand seemed to be tightly pressing on his chest, his head was buried very low, and I couldn't see his expression.
It just felt like he was clearly suffering some kind of pain through this action.
"Cheng Baize?!"
I shouted, stepping on the rocks and hurried to him: "What's wrong with you?!"
He was hunched over and didn't move. I stretched out my hand to give him a hand, but Cheng Baize staggered back and took a step back. He paused for a while and said, "It's okay. Tell me, master, he is angry. Leave me alone. It's okay."
"Your master?"
I frowned, "Does it hurt when he's angry? How can he still control you after he's been dead for so long?"
"He can't control me, he just makes me feel his anger."
Cheng Baize raised his face and looked at me, with a thin layer of cold sweat covering his forehead, "Let's go, I'm fine."
I looked at his hand covering his chest: "Does your chest hurt? Is it Five Thunder Palm?"
He shook his head, his face full of suppressed pain, "I'm fine, let's go, get out of here..."
"I asked you if you are a Five Thunder Palm! What happened to you in the past two years!!"
I felt extremely depressed when I saw him like that. In two years, he seemed to have not changed, but he seemed to have changed completely.
"Nothing happened to me, Jiaolong. I have finished what I need to say. Let's go back first."
He looked at me, his teeth chattering in his mouth. He felt that it was extremely difficult to stand upright at this moment. "Don't move, don't move. Just let me relax for a while. Don't move..."
My body stiffened, and the hand that was pulling on his thin woolen coat suddenly paused. I bent my legs and knelt down in front of him: "There is blood..."
He was wearing a white T-shirt under his coat. The moment I pulled open the coat, I could clearly see the unusually bright red on the left chest, "Cheng Baize, why is there blood? Aren't you okay?"
, how can there be blood?"
Cheng Baize's lips were already as pale as his face. He tightened his clothes to cover the bright red color again. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Didn't I tell you that I'm fine? It's just a small wound. It will heal in two days."
