Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 20 The Girl Shuning
After recovering about half of the qi, Li Xuandu went up the stairs to the second floor, although the corridor on the second floor had been shattered by Qian Xingsheng, but for Li Xuandu, it was nothing, he jumped lightly, his body was like a leaf in the wind, and he floated into the C-shaped guest room.
At this time, the little girl in the guest room was no longer as wooden as before, but she was not much better, and was staring at the remains of her parents and weeping silently.
When she raised her head and saw Li Xuandu who appeared at the door, an undisguised look of horror appeared on her face, and she subconsciously stepped back, and finally the whole person shrank into a ball in the corner of the wall.
Li Xuandu didn't think that a little girl would be able to accept others normally after experiencing the loss of her father and mother one after another, but slowly said: "My name is Li Xuandu, I was entrusted by someone to save your family of three, but I'm sorry, although I have tried my best, I still can't save your parents, I hope you don't hate me in the years to come." ”
The little girl looked at Li Xuandu and was even more afraid.
Li Xuandu laughed at himself and said to himself: "People's hearts are changeable, especially bullying the weak and fearing the hard. I once saw a woman who was robbed by a thief, and when she was dying, she dared to hate those passers-by who would not be saved when she saw death, and swore that she would be buried with passers-by when she became a ghost, but she did not dare to hate the thieves who really put her to death, how ridiculous do you say this is?"
Then, the large and small rooms fell into a long silence.
After a long time, the little girl who had been silent finally whispered: "My name is Shuning, Zhou Shuning." ”
Li Xuandu said softly: "Shuning, I don't want you to become the kind of person I said. Your parents died because of Qingluanwei, if you want revenge, I can send you to Xuannu Sect. Of course, if you also have a grudge against me and want to seek revenge on me in the future, I will not stop you, but I can't guarantee what the consequences will be when the time comes, you need to think about it yourself. ”
The little girl looked up at Li Xuandu, staring at him but silent.
Li Xuandu said calmly: "Zhou Shuning, I know that there are many things in this world that are unreasonable, but if you want to live in this world, before you don't have enough ability to reason with this world, you might as well take a step back, and a step back today is for tomorrow's further step." ”
The little girl was silent for a long time, and suddenly cried, "I don't hate you, and I don't want revenge, I just want my father and mother to come back to life." ”
Shen Changchang, who was cleaning downstairs and eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, sighed, in today's world, it is a blessing to have a father and mother. Take him as an example, he was adopted by the palm couple since he was a child, although it is not his parents who are better than his parents, but when it comes to his biological parents, he can't even remember what he looks like, and it is also a regret in his heart.
Li Xuandu in the guest room was silent for a moment, looked at Zhou Shuning, who was raining pear blossoms, and said softly: "People can't be resurrected after death, but I can send you to Longmen Mansion, where there is your father's best friend before his death, it was he who entrusted me to save people, and I think he will treat you as his own daughter." ”
The little girl choked up and said, "Then can I ask you for one thing, let my father and mother be buried in peace." ”
Rao is Li Xuandu, who has experienced countless night rains in the rivers and lakes, was also very unbearable in his heart at this moment, sighed quietly in his heart, squatted down and looked at the little girl, and said in a soft voice: "Even if you don't say this, I will do it, you don't have to worry about what prejudice I will have against you, I don't care about anything with a child, I just said those words, just to let you understand one thing, no one in this world owes you anything, the so-called rivers and lakes are actually a place to compete for fame and fortune." Chivalry, of course, there will be, but it is not destined to be too much. ”
Li Xuandu straightened up and said, "Yu Qingning said that your root bone qualification is very high, maybe this life is expected to be heaven and earth, what you have to do now is to live well." ”
Zhou Shuning snorted heavily.
There were still some words that Li Xuan didn't say.
In fact, he and Zhou Tingchao have never known each other, and at this time, he is no longer a Zifu Sword Immortal who can crisscross the north of the river, but he still came to Huainan Mansion alone because of his friend's promise, almost risking his life to save people.
He has always believed that as a human being, you should not make promises easily, but once you make a promise, you will make a promise.
Zhou Tingchao's friend once helped Li Xuandu when Li Xuandu was chased and killed by the Jiangbei heroes, so Li Xuandu promised to make a move for him in the future, so Li Xuandu made this trip to Huainan Mansion.
However, Li Xuandu felt that this was his business with others, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Shuning, or even with Zhou Tingchao, so there was no need to let her know.
When Li Xuandu jumped down from the second floor with Zhou Shuning, Shen Changsheng had already cleaned the first floor almost, and the young man inadvertently glanced at the little girl, and was stunned for a moment, and a little flush appeared on his dark face.
I have to say that although Zhou Shuning is young, she can already see the potential of a beautiful embryo, and the young Shen Changsheng is at an ignorant age.
Li Xuan ignored the thoughts of these children and asked, "Is there a straw mat or a coffin in the inn?"
Shen Changsheng came back to his senses, a little embarrassed to be seen through his thoughts, but he still nodded and said, "There is a coffin, it is next door to the guest room in the backyard where the guest officer lives." The guest officer also knew that a few people were going to die in ten days and a half months here, and the shopkeeper said that death is great, no matter what happened before death, there must always be a place to live after death, so I made a few coffins in case of emergency. ”
Li Xuandu took out four silver tickets from his sleeve, three of one hundred taels and one of ten taels, and said, "This is the silver money promised to the proprietress, and I will buy the best coffin." ”
The boy answered, put away the silver and went to the backyard, and after a while dragged back a pine coffin painted with red paint, although the workmanship was a little rough, but it was large enough to fit two people.
Li Xuandu went upstairs again to move down the bodies of Zhou Tingchao and his wife, put them in the coffin, and finally put Zhou Tingchao's head inside, and under Zhou Shuning's mournful gaze, Li Xuandu slowly closed the coffin.
Shen Changsheng said: "There is a cemetery at the foot of Taiping Mountain, which is seen by the shopkeeper himself, in his words, there will be no gathering, no changes, you can rest assured to bury people, in the past, I buried people there." ”
Li Xuandu nodded, held up the coffin, which weighed thousands of pounds with one hand, and slowly walked out of the inn.
Zhou Shuning bit her lip lightly, ignoring the heavy rain outside, and followed closely behind Li Xuandu.
Shen Changsheng hesitated, picked up the big oil-paper umbrella and followed out, holding an umbrella for the little girl to protect him from the rain.
Li Xuandu, who was walking in front, looked back at the two young people who were holding an umbrella together, his eyes were in a trance, and then he was lonely.
Who in the world has not been a young man?
If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it is not the same as a teenager.
Li Xuandu turned his head, and behind him were young men and girls walking together with umbrellas in the heavy rain.
He sighed softly, inaudible in the sound of heavy rain.
Fifteen years in a real dream. What's the matter? Chang Gung is desolate to the moon.
