Chapter 324 (three hundred and twenty-four) Passing by
【Chapter 68】
As the days passed, a piece of ironic news spread among the soldiers of the Tiecang tribe - the young patriarch was crazy. At first, it was just the man with no scar on his face who talked about the last incident when he returned to his residence and chatted with others. As a result, it spread to hundreds of people and became more and more exaggerated. Later, it became known to the young clan leader because he knew about the Tiecang tribe not long ago. He was about to perish, so he had a nervous breakdown, behaved strangely all day long, and said crazy things. Many soldiers didn't know Tie Hongyan well and didn't have many opportunities to see her. When they heard others say this, no matter whether the news was true or false, they felt more helpless that the Tiecang tribe was gone.
When the news reached Wu Xunsheng, he hadn't seen Tie Hongyan for two days. Although he didn't believe the rumors, he had an indescribable urge to see what happened. In his eyes, the grown-up Tie Hongyan was always full of confidence and had a strong heart, and it seemed that nothing could make her collapse. But he suddenly recalled her in a disordered state as a child, and playing with paper kites together made her laugh. Thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled to himself - how long ago it was, how could he still remember it so clearly? Neither she nor I are the children we were then. He had just told himself that the rumor was false and that he didn't need to think about it anymore, but he couldn't help but wonder, could she only be strong on the surface but have nowhere to express her inner anguish? The Tiecang tribe suffered heavy losses. She is the young clan leader after all. Will she be extremely sad about this? Thinking of this, he immediately blamed himself for always thinking about things he shouldn't, so he forcibly diverted his attention to find clothes to wear the next day.
While looking for clothes, he accidentally saw the cloth bag that Tie Hongyan took when she ran away from home when she was a child, and recalled that when he first met her, she was afraid that she would starve to death, so she gave herself all the snacks, but When she really ate all her snacks, she cried again, because those snacks were all her hope to "no longer be bullied". The scene when Tie Hongyan said "Give it to you, don't give it to me" when she gave him the bag again appeared in front of his eyes. He also recalled the scene when she said "Wu Xunsheng is my sparring partner" when he was bullied. The scene when he was "my person" brought to mind too many bits and pieces of our childhood together. He tried hard to throw away these impressions, but the memories still followed him clearly. He has long known that as he grows up, the two of them will inevitably become farther and farther apart, but the memories of his childhood make him want to get closer to her. However, he really can't get too close to her. Reason will remind him from time to time. he.
It had been a long time since he had taken the initiative to look for Tie Hongyan at her residence. At this moment, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling that seemed to be leading him away, bypassing his reason. This feeling prompted him to put down his bag, put away the clothes he would wear the next day, then walked out of the door and slowly walked towards Tie Hongyan's residence.
As he walked, reason defeated the unspeakable feeling and made him stop.
He turned and walked back.
Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he heard a crisp voice from behind: "Wu Xunsheng, what are you doing here?"
That sound was made by Tie Hongyan. Of course he recognized it. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and said softly: "Young Patriarch, I was just about to go back and passed by here." (End of Chapter)
