Chapter 157(1/2)
Ever since he came back from Sifang Valley, Zhou Xiaodu seemed to be in a bad mood.
Many times, when Zhou Xiaodu is unhappy herself, she will make others unhappy too. Such situations of being alone and depressed are relatively rare.
Sheng Yuqing didn't know the specific reason, but he couldn't see Zhou Xiaodu looking like this, listless and lifeless, so he might as well give him a beating to vent his anger.
That night, Zhou Xiaodu urged him to come out and practice swordplay as usual.
While sitting under a tree and stargazing, the young man suddenly produced two bottles of wine and said to her, "Want to drink? Ask Brother Jiang for some."
He wanted to talk to Zhou Xiaodu. Although Zhou Xiaodu would probably not tell him what was in his heart, but at this moment, his desire to explore her was stronger than ever.
He didn't want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but chose to step forward and approach her.
No matter how bad the result was, he would be beaten by Zhou Xiaodu. It was not like he had never been beaten before.
"Wine?" Zhou Xiaodu reached out to him and took the bottle, "Why do you suddenly want to drink?"
He sat down next to her, "It's nothing, I just want to drink suddenly. I have never had a drink with you. With our friendship, we need to have a drink, right?"
"What does friendship have to do with drinking?" Zhou Xiaodu sneered, opened the wine bottle, and took a sip of the cold wine.
Very good, it’s not about being drunk and looking for sex.
"Drinking can make you forget your worries. The fun things in the world should be done with worthy people." Sheng Yuqing said, "It's like when I go out to eat with people from the academy, I don't dare to drink too much, just because I'm afraid they will make some little trick on me. You know
Well, my ability to drink is average."
One time he got a little drunk, and Mi Mi Hu Hu was coaxed to go to a gambling parlor. If it weren't for the fact that he was reluctant to spend money frivolously, he was coaxed to place bets.
Zhou Xiaodu shook the wine bottle in his hand, "If you really want to drink, we will go to the wine shop and open ten jars. What's the point of moistening your throat here?"
"I told you that my drinking capacity is average, so just humor me."
Zhou Xiaodu stretched out his eyebrows and chuckled, "Heh." He passed his left hand forward and touched the bottle with him.
The white porcelain collided with a crisp "clang" sound, hitting the young man's heart gently and not hard, and his heart suddenly jumped.
For some reason, a sentence came out of his mouth: "Zhou Xiaodu, how about we go wandering around the world?"
He stared at the woman under the starlight, and saw that her smile became even stronger, and her eyes were as full as rippling sake, and he said to himself: "What did you say?"
"No matter whether the murderer of the Ye family can be found in the end or not, we should have somewhere to go, so let's go wander the world." He said.
Zhou Xiaodu said: "How do you know I have no other place to go?"
The young man was startled, "Then where are you going?"
"Prison, abyss, hell...it won't be a good place anyway. Do you want to go with us?" she said casually.
Sheng Yuqing shook his head, "I don't want to go, and I don't want you to go, so can't you find some comfortable place?"
"No." Zhou Xiaodu said, "Why do you think Li You didn't do a good job of protecting the law and wanted to destroy his eyes and run to the doctors Taolin who regarded him as his enemy?"
"Because he can't live with it... but why did he mention Li You again?"
Zhou Xiaodu took a sip of wine and exhaled a cloud of drunken air, "Do you think Li You is a good person?"
Sheng Yuqing replied: "Of course it doesn't count. What kind of good person can the demon sect's protector be? If he hadn't fallen in love with Tao Zhiyao when he lost his memory, he would kill a stranger like Tao Zhiyao without hesitation when shooting arrows.
I won’t take it seriously, so why would I feel guilty later? In the final analysis, it’s just my own fault.”
The young man stared at Zhou Xiaodu's side face. The outline was soft, the skin glowed with a cold light like snow, and the soft hair was gently moving in the wind, like an immortal coming from the middle of the moon.
It was the first time that he realized that Zhou Xiaodu was so beautiful. The beauty was so strange that it made him feel empty.
"Li You and I are the same person." He heard Zhou Xiaodu say this.
Sheng Yuqing was stunned, she closed her eyes, leaned back against the tree trunk, and said while drinking: "I remember a long time ago, I mentioned to you that I have a younger brother, do you still remember?
"
"I remember." Sheng Yuqing said. Those days in Gu Tower were unforgettable in his life.
"I killed my brother, who was my only relative, just like Li You personally killed Tao Zhiyao." After Zhou Xiaodu finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at him, "I am not a good person either, I know this very well.
, so I never thought about getting good rewards. If you want to be happy and unrestrained, you should find someone else, whether it is Jiang Sibai, Liu Yangyang, or go with the girl you like. After all, it shouldn’t be
My kind of person."
The smell of alcohol filled the air, making people dizzy. A few night owls crowed in the distance, like ghosts crying, making the atmosphere a bit solemn.
The young man breathed a long sigh of relief and broke the silence for a few moments.
"Zhou Xiaodu, you have to know that people's thoughts are not static." Sheng Yuqing said seriously, "It's like I suddenly understand now that people are not black and white. It is not easy to be a completely good person. Most of all living beings
You have lived a life of good and bad, and it is very valuable that you can sincerely repent and turn back from your mistakes."
So who just scolded Li You for bringing it upon himself? Zhou Xiaodu was a little speechless, "I'm not kidding you, don't be glib, I won't accept this."
Sheng Yuqing blinked and said, "You rhyme."
"Tsk!" Zhou Xiaodu impatiently flew a knife in the eye.
Sheng Yuqing grinned innocently, "Just a little joke, a little bit of sentiment."
"Do you think you are very humorous?" Zhou Xiaodu looked at him expressionlessly.
"A little bit." Sheng Yuqing clinked the bottles with her and put away his playful smile, "You definitely didn't mean it. I know you're not that cruel."
"...Then you are wrong." She shifted her gaze and looked towards the boundless wilderness, suddenly feeling the urge to run away.
"You are so kind to me, and you must really love your brother."
Zhou Xiaodu sighed, "I'm not very nice to you, and I don't have any sincerity. You're a fool and you've only met too few good people, so you think I'm nice."
"Then why are you sitting here with me now?" Sheng Yuqing disagreed, "It can't be to create a god, right? Then why don't you lock me up and force me to practice swordsmanship every day?"
Zhou Xiaodu slowed down for a moment before he remembered that he had been hasty and had lied a few times about "wanting to create a god". Her speech was always one-third true and seven-thirds false, and there was nothing serious the whole day.
The boy has long been used to it after hearing it too much. When he found out that she was talking nonsense, he didn't bother to be more serious with her. Unexpectedly, he still remembered this.
So, she started talking nonsense again, and Hu Nong said: "I have lost my brother, so I just want to raise another one for comfort! If I lock you up every day and make you feel sick, what's the point?
What?"
Sheng Yuqing's face froze, "So, you regard me as your brother's substitute, right?"
Zhou Xiaodu wanted to say, "Yes, it's not possible? Do you have any objections?" But when he turned around, he saw that this guy didn't look very good, and he paused for a while, not knowing what to say.
When the young man saw that she was silent, he took it as her acquiescence and complained: "Zhou Xiaodu, can you be a human being?!"
When Zhou Xiaodu saw him getting up angrily to leave, he subconsciously grabbed his calf and said, "Listen to my explanation..." He almost pulled him down.
Sheng Yuqing supported the tree and cursed: "I don't want to listen to your sophistry!"
"I mean, explain..."
"Then go ahead and I'll listen." He turned around.
Zhou Xiaodu: "..."
Sheng Yuqing pointed at her nose and said, "Are you making it up?"
"Ahem... Wouldn't it be better to be my younger brother? You are the only younger brother I have now!" Zhou Xiaodu said loudly.
"Bah! Who wants to be your brother?! Are you and I the daughter of the same mother? Come on!" Sheng Yuqing spoke louder than her, "I treat you as a best friend, and you treat me as a substitute! You
Is he a human being, Zhou Xiaodu?!"
"I'm not a human, I'm a dog, okay?!" Zhou Xiaodu was forced to compromise first.
Sheng Yuqing: "...There is no need to say that about myself."
Zhou Xiaodu's move caught him off guard, and he had no choice but to sit back angrily, his anger still lingering, and he drank heavily.
Who would have thought that he was the one who brought wine to make Zhou Xiaodu happy, but now it was Zhou Xiaodu who wanted to make him happy——
After a bottle of fine aged wine, he drank "tons and tons" of it. He drank it in a hurry, and his heart was filled with anger. After a while, he was drunk.
The young man was so bold that he slapped Zhou Xiaodu's face and shouted at her loudly: "Apologise to me!"
"Well, I was wrong. What I just said was nonsense. You are not someone's substitute. You are... very special to me..." Zhou Xiaodu said helplessly, "I'm sorry, okay?"
"Is it special?" The young man's blushing face softened slightly.
"Um."
"How special?"
Zhou Xiaodu slapped him on the face and pushed him away, "That's almost it. Do you want me to elaborate?"
"Uh-huh!"
She moved her palm away, "What's wrong?"
"Zhou Xiaodu, let's go wandering around the world!" The young man suddenly jumped up, raised his arms high, and said happily.
Zhou Xiaodu raised her eyes and looked at him without responding. She said in her heart that this boy is really fearless. He has seen her kill people with his own eyes. He knows that she is full of bad intentions. He knows that she can even kill her own brother, but somehow he is not afraid at all.
It was almost as if she knew she had a system and wouldn't do anything to him.
"Why don't you speak, Zhou Xiaodu? Do you dislike me? So you don't want to wander around the world with me?" He leaned over and asked.
Zhou Xiaodu said to herself that only children would talk about wandering around the world. This word is too stupid, so she shouldn't say it.
