little turtle in pocket

Chapter 62

Ninety-seven AD.

In the distance, there seemed to be faint thunder.As it got closer, I realized that it was a herd of horses galloping. It was so majestic that the ground trembled.

A clear river appeared in front of it, flowing slowly without end, seemingly endless.On a big cyan rock by the river, sat a man in a light blue robe.

The group of horses approached, and the leading white horse was slammed into the reins and let out a low growl. The people stood up, and the iron hooves glowed cold blue in the sun.

The horses behind also hurriedly reined in, and the faces of the soldiers on the horses were all ashen, a little bloody.

The leading knight was dressed in bright silver armor, his eyes were wide open under his thick eyebrows, he jumped off his horse with a murderous look, and headed straight for the river.

"Wu Ming, you murderer, take your life!"

With a loud shout, two people jumped out from the slanting stab, and they stood in front of Wu Ming and exchanged tears: "Your Majesty Liang, please calm down! Our general has not eaten a drop of water or rice for several days! Just let him go!" "

King Liang bypassed the two attendants and came to Wu Ming who was sitting dumbfounded.Although he was prepared in his heart, when he saw the haggard face that was almost unrecognizable, he couldn't help being slightly startled: "Wu Ming?"

Wu Ming leaned over, and stretched his hand, which had already been soaked and turned white, into the river again: "The peach blossom flood has receded, why, still can't find him? Why?"

"Look for a P, look for it!" Cheng Shen blurted out, wishing he could strangle the melancholy god in front of him to death, "We've combed the river up and down like hair in the past few days, and there's nothing, nothing!"

The man dug his hands deeply into the black soil, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and he fell into regret that he couldn't extricate himself from.If he could have made a decision a few days earlier to inspect Duliang, if he hadn't been sent to guard the lonely city at all, if he could have restrained his jealousy a little after letting You Wei go, if --------

"Maybe you shouldn't love me."

A long time ago, what Wen Nuo once said rang in my ears again.Looking back at the way he was then, what else did this love bring him, besides pain?

How did that youthful boy get to where he is today step by step?Thousands of thoughts are in my eyes, and I never speak to others.Even if love has been hurt, still do not take half a step back as always.What kind of deep love is it that can choose to return to the lover again and again after being displaced and humiliated?

And the lover whose heart has been possessed has strangled his hope of falling in love and even his hope of living!

Regret is a monster with sharp teeth, biting the deepest wound in the heart, the pain is unbearable.

"It's too late, it's too late----"

A voice that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart made Cheng Shen raise his head in surprise.

A handsome man with a lonely face stands upright on the bank of the river, with his arms open to embrace the void, like a painting.

"Xiao Nuo, why didn't you keep the promise? I'll come to hear your reply three days after the agreement, but you just left like this!"

The river is silent, silent and quiet, just like the person who is calling for you.

"Director Zhang."

The middle-aged man who was sitting alone in the empty tent was taken aback. He turned his head to see who was coming, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you here? It's not the appointed time?"

The visitor smiled and approached slowly: "Boss has a message, please ask me to bring it to you."

"What message?" Manager Zhang casually asked while sorting out the messy receipts on the table.

"This message is quite special——"

The visitor suddenly showed a sharp sharp knife and stabbed Director Zhang straight into the heart!

Manager Zhang turned pale with fright, wanted to escape but it was too late, seeing the sharp knife approaching, he was so frightened that he even closed his eyes.

There was a "choke", and there was the sound of iron objects colliding.

The assassinated target opened his eyes and looked himself up and down, and there seemed to be no abnormality in his body.He raised his head again, only to find that someone held a sword to block the sharp edge for him, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, brother, for your rescue!"

This brother is very tall. Hearing Mr. Zhang's words, he turned his head slowly and grinned: "You're welcome."

"Brother is so kind-hearted——"

Manager Zhang's words were interrupted in the middle, and the accountant's door was kicked open from the outside, and a large group of people came rushing in, all wielding swords and wielding swords with a murderous look.

The leader's face was like a crown of jade, and his smile was a bit childish, but Mr. Zhang was sweating coldly: "Old Zhang, this is your fault. Why did you invite so many outsiders into the palace in the middle of the night?"

"I I I didn't—"

Seeing that Lao Zhang was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, even though the assassin's neck was still under the sword, he still couldn't help but sneered and said: "No wonder the boss said that he will kill you first, look at how weak you are!"

General Xiao Fang ignored them, and cupped his hands at the tall young man who blocked the assassination, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhi'an."

Zhi'an asked in a daze, "Is there any news from Duliang?"

Kexu shook his head, his eyes turned red: "No, I'm afraid it's more ominous than good."

"I do not believe!!!"

The young man's sudden roar shook the huge room, and Manager Zhang began to sift through the chaff.

"Zhi'an." General Xiao Li patted the other party's shoulder, "You are very tired after guarding for the past few days. I am here, so go and rest first." He turned his head and told his subordinates, "Take Mr. Lin to Liyun Palace , good service."

After the figures of Zhi'an and others disappeared at the door, Manager Zhang said tremblingly: "Yuan, so you have suspected me for a long time?"

Ke Xu asked coldly: "Since you are paid to do things, come to think of it, you don't know who the so-called boss is?"

Manager Zhang was stunned for a long while, then suddenly "thumped" and knelt down: "Don't kill me, General Fang, although I don't know who the boss is, I can tell you the names of several people involved in this!"

"How many?" Ke Xu looked at the ceiling, "Xiao Nuo has always been aloof from the world, what is the deep hatred between you and him, and you want to join forces to deal with him like this?"

Fifty miles downstream, in a remote village.In the peach blossom forest, the stream passes through the shadow of the trees, and the water is gurgling.

"Ha, I got it!"

Dongxing showed the thing in his palm to the young man sitting under the tree, completely unaware that the water leaking from his fingers wet the other's skirt drop by drop.

There was a smile on the pale face of the young man: "You are really capable, put it in the jar quickly, or you will die later."

The little fish entered the water and swam around like arrows. It was interesting to see the eastward trip, and the smile became happier: "It's so fun, the net bag you taught me to make is really useful!"

The young man seemed to want to respond to him, but coughed involuntarily.

Dongxing ran to him worriedly and patted his back: "Hey, are you okay?"

The young man coughed for a while, covered his lips with his sleeve, and reluctantly replied: "No-------" He coughed again, and this time he coughed up a large piece of maroon blood, which he couldn't hide anymore. Living.

Dongxing hurriedly wiped the blood for him, took off the water bag on his waist and tried to feed him water, but in a panic knocked over the water bag again, spilling the water stains on both of them.

"Or, I'd better go to town and invite a doctor!"

The young man shook his head slowly, smiled and stopped Dongxing who got up to leave: "Don't go, it's very expensive to ask a doctor, and it's not worth it for me."

Dongxing wanted to cry: "But you—"

The young man laughed at himself: "I know this hurt myself the most. Not to mention the doctors in the town, even if the doctors from the Tai Hospital come for consultation together, they will be powerless." He raised his eyes and stared at the other person's face, "Dongxing, don't go, I don't want to be alone, and there is no one around me when I die."

"No, you won't die!" Dongxing suddenly hugged the thin body and roared violently, like a wounded little animal.

The excessive hug made Wen Nuo frowned slightly, but he didn't try to break free.

Perhaps it was fate that Wen Nuo, who was washed up on the river beach by the current, met this young fisherman.Dongxing is an orphan, and he has been living alone since he was very young. He is so innocent that he is a bit stupid. Perhaps only such a person will not deliberately pry into his secrets, so that he can finally spend his last time quietly.

In his heart, Wen Nuo was a little envious of Dongxing.The same loneliness and helplessness, at least, Dongxing does not have to bear so many love and hatred with nowhere to escape, working and resting every day, the biggest worry is not enough fish.

The peach branch fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "click".

"Who?"

Dongxing subconsciously stood in front of Wen Nuo, looking vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
