Tao Huansheng said that he was her savior, which made Meng Ying very confused.
"General, maybe he remembered it wrong. I never..." Meng Ying carefully recalled her past and present lives, but she couldn't remember when she had saved him.
"Back then, you used the wine shop as a reward for letting me escort you to Qingzhou. At that time, the village was surrounded by officers and soldiers. There were forty-six people in the village. Except for me and the two fat and thin brothers, no one in the village survived." "Ah? Actually..." Meng Ying sat up straight and covered her mouth in shock.
"Our Qingfeng Village, since we took over, has never touched anyone's life, only robbed some passing money, and occasionally helped the people."
"Then why did the government take such cruel measures?" Meng Ying believed Tao Huansheng's words. If not, her family would not have survived.
"Later, I traveled hundreds of miles at night and raided for three days to take the head of the magistrate's dog officer. According to what he said before his death, it was because my second-in-command refused to benefit from him that he had the intention to kill."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. If you were in the mountain stronghold, you might be able to lead the others to break out of the siege and rescue some people. Maybe I also missed something."
Meng Ying's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. With Tao Huansheng's resourcefulness and bravery, she believed that the dog official could not destroy all the cottages.
While Meng Ying was blaming herself, Tao Huansheng's words came faintly again: "Everyone is afraid of being blamed and will push it aside. Why do you love to take things for yourself?"
"Isn't it?" Meng Ying didn't know how to answer his words.
"I also thought that if I were in the house, I could lead a few people to break out. But one day, I met a Meishan Taoist priest. He was an immortal Taoist and had some abilities. According to him, I should have
I died unexpectedly on Bingchen when I was sixteen years old, but there was an extraordinary woman who changed my fate."
Meng Ying looked at her and was shocked.
"On Bingchen day, it was the time when the dog official massacred the mountain. So, that woman is you, you saved me."
Meng Ying was taken aback and looked at Tao Huansheng, not knowing how to answer.
"You saved my life. Maybe we are destined to be together. You changed my life and showed me a clear path. So, my life and everything I have are all given by you." Tao Huansheng
He stared at Meng Yingdao with burning eyes.
"No, no, no, how can I be so virtuous and capable? Everything is just a coincidence." The matter of rebirth was a big secret in her heart, and Tao Huansheng's words made her feel worried.
Meng Ying was more surprised than happy by her confession, which made Tao Huansheng's eyes dim and a little disappointed.
"You think it's a coincidence, but I think this is God's arrangement. Maybe God is destined, otherwise we wouldn't meet again." He said the last half of the sentence in a low voice, and Meng Ying didn't hear it clearly.
She didn't know why Tao Huansheng was lost, and she didn't know how to persuade him. She just looked at him blankly, feeling that Tao Huansheng was a little weird today.
"You just need to remember that you don't owe me anything. In the future, you will do everything based on your heart and don't take me into consideration."
"I..."
There are two types of women. Some are soft-spoken and hard-hearted, and they will make a pot of fire in front of them without a knife behind them, such as Shi Lanxiu. Some people say harsh words but are really kind and soft-hearted, especially when they don't see a stalwart man lying in front of them.
Show weakness by being low.
Meng Ying is the latter. She only knows that Tao Huansheng doesn't say many ruthless words, but she doesn't know that he is not a born gangster. Now that he treats each other sincerely, she is at a loss.
Seeing that Meng Ying was at a loss for words, Tao Huansheng did not force her to respond, but changed the topic and said: "The moon in the sky changes every day, but my mother said that the scenery above is indeed the same."
These words are so familiar. After the downfall in the previous life, the mother and son lived in the desolate house. On a moonlit night, she also asked Mrs. Yao, "Mom, the moon changes every day, does Chang'e above also change?"
Mrs. Yao was always angry and said: "Hurry up and embroider is serious. Don't waste candles and always think about what is there and what is not. Chang'e can live without eating, but your brother and I will die without eating!"
"Miss Meng, Miss Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Ying didn't know why, but when she thought about her past life, the corners of her eyes became wet unconsciously.
"Nothing, I'm thinking of some past events."
"Tell me about it?" Tao Huansheng turned his face sideways with a searching look on his face.
"It's okay not to mention the old things."
Tao Huansheng was a little stunned when he used his spear to repay his shield. Meng Ying used her own words to return the favor.
It seems that this girl will not be able to let go of her guard against him for a while. He reminded himself that he should take it easy, there is no rush.
"What are your plans for the future?"
He heard the conversation between Wu Botang and Meng Ying that day.
When Wu Botang was about to take her away, he suddenly panicked and broke a jade pendant on his body. Only then did he realize that he already had her in his heart.
Now that I understand my own thoughts, I don’t know what Meng Ying is thinking.
"In the future." Meng Ying put her hand on her chin and thought for a while. She said: "Most of the reason why I came to the capital was to find relatives, but now it seems that there is no hope. When the rumors in front of me subside, I plan to go
Jiangnan, look for the pearl. Jiangnan is picturesque and I want to see it."
"This rumor is very widespread and will probably not dissipate for a year and a half. If you leave, then this rumor will really become true. Although I am not afraid of rumors, I am afraid that the officials will come forward to impeach me."
The current plan is to find excuses to keep Meng Ying.
Meng Ying chuckled and said: "I know, so I won't leave for the time being. Please don't worry, general."
"Even if the rumor is over, your biological parents may still be looking for you. If you go to Jiangnan, how will your family be reunited?"
Meng Ying stood up, looked at the stars in the sky, and said: "If the sky is affectionate, it will naturally not separate flesh and blood; if the sky is ruthless, no matter how hard we search, we may not be able to reunite. That is destiny.
The scenery in this world is vast, and the sun and moon have their dates. It’s not just what’s in front of you, but also the four seasons and the four seas. It’s time to go out and take a look.”
He had nothing on his mind and no worries when he left, which made Tao Huansheng very uneasy.
"There are also many people from the capital among our army colleagues. I asked them to help inquire. Maybe they will get a reply."
Meng Ying smiled bitterly, "I only know that my father's surname is Meng and my mother's nickname is Ying'er. It's been more than ten years. It's not easy."
After saying that, he sighed and lay down beside the fire, leaning on his arms and looking at the sky.
The two of them were silent, except for the occasional "crackling" sound when the bonfire burned the wet branches.
When she looked again, Meng Ying closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Tao Huansheng sighed, feeling affection and pity in his heart, thinking: She is a woman after all, and I am afraid she will be very tired after a day of tossing.
Although there was a bonfire, it was cold at night. Tao Huansheng took off his coat and covered Meng Ying.
Although Meng Ying was asleep, she was dressed in men's clothes, but her small jade face exuded a soft halo under the firelight. Her skin was like cream, her hair was like a raven, and her eyelashes were long, like two wings fluttering.
The flying butterflies are beautiful and cute.
Tao Huansheng stared at her sleeping face and said after a while: "Go to sleep, Ying'er. From now on, I will take care of everything."
Tao Huansheng lay down opposite the fire.
But as soon as I closed my eyes, I could smell the faint fragrance of pear blossoms in my nose.
Who said that the night breeze is incomprehensible, this brings a faint fragrance.
After being lonely for so long, he thought that his heart was like Bodhi and would not be shaken by anyone, but this woman in front of him made his heart beat fiercely today.
The more I want to sleep, the more the fragrance penetrates my nose.
Tao Huansheng tossed and turned like a pancake.
After half an hour, Meng Ying quietly opened her eyes, and Tao Huansheng opposite her had already fallen asleep.
In fact, she never fell asleep. She heard every word Tao Huansheng said.
The bonfire was gradually extinguished, and the light was a little dim. She could no longer see clearly the people opposite her.
Under the starry sky, two people next to a bonfire are less than three steps apart, but their hearts are as far away as if they were separated by mountains and seas.
There is nothing wrong with the young man Mu Ai. But he does not know that inside this shell of his, he is an old soul who has gone through vicissitudes of life. Although he has not experienced the love between men and women in his previous life, he has seen too many joys and sorrows.
Mr. Xue in the previous dynasty was known as the lover. After his wife died early, he vowed not to marry again. The mourning poems he wrote were touching, but the concubines in the hall were indeed one after another, never ending.
Since ancient times, men have been unlucky, but she is different from ordinary people. Many happiness within reach will be far away from her in a blink of an eye.
Maybe somehow, I don’t deserve it and don’t deserve it.
In the past, Luo Yu, Wu Botang, and now Tao Huansheng, these people could not control their appearance, let alone decide their stay. All she can do now is to stick to her heart.
It was late at night, and Meng Ying sighed. If she had a choice, she would rather choose a mediocre person and spend the rest of her life carelessly.
I don’t know how long it took, but I silently recited the Heart Sutra in my heart before slowly falling asleep.
