[Eight Heroes] A gentleman hides his sword

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Yan Tiexin played with the teacup in his hand for a while, and finally drank it in one gulp. After a long time, he just spoke to the beautiful woman beside him.

Chu Xiangxiang glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand bit by bit, then nodded as if casually, and said softly, "I am the Red Flower Pirate."

Her voice was very calm, as if saying that the weather is good today, so flat and natural, without a trace of emotion.

Yan Tiexin didn't seem to be surprised at all, he nodded lightly, and only said, "Really."

It was clearly a question sentence, but his tone was not that emotional.

This is Yan Tiexin, he is like a person without emotion, always so calm and expressionless, you will never guess what he thinks in his heart, and you will never know whether this person has ever cared about you.

The corner of Xiangxiang's mouth slightly raised, with a bit of wry smile and relief, she continued: "Yang Chen likes me, so I used him to steal the 5 taels of gold. Later, Jia Qi and Ye Feng found out the truth, and we As a last resort, kill them."

"I know that," Yan Tiexin interrupted her, went through all the previous evidence, and finally said: "I have been waiting, I hope it's not you, even if it is you, I hope you can turn around, but you No."

The surprise in Xiangxiang's eyes flashed, and he looked up at him: "What happened later? Why must it be me?"

Yan Tiexin's voice was a little low: "Xiaofeng and Jiaqi told me the truth." Not paying attention to Xiangxiang's slightly changed face, Yan Tiexin continued: "I saw the bloody writing they left behind at the corner in the backyard. "

Xiangxiang lowered her head and smiled slightly, and she seemed to bring some self-mockery to tell the past events one by one. She had deep feelings for Yan Tie, and she had been with him for ten years, but she had never understood this man. She hated him. Because he indirectly killed her father and made her an orphan, but she also loved him. They were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was so natural and strong, but all her destiny never got a little response from him. She was not reconciled, that's why she set up such a situation.

The women in their family have never lived past the age of 26, and now she doesn't have much time. Instead of being forgotten like this, she would rather let him remember her in the most tragic way.

But at this moment, she regretted it.

She regretted killing so many people and doing so many outrageous things for him, so what if she could be forgiven in the end?She just realized that this man may have feelings for her, even love, but he dare not love her.He may know love, but he always escapes, he is a hero, he is a god catcher praised by everyone, but emotionally, he is a coward.

God is so cruel that she only realized this when she was dying. He is destined to be the catastrophe of her life.

Chu Xiangxiang took out the dagger, but stabbed himself.

Yan Tiexin moved and quickly restrained her, but Xiangxiang began to vomit blood.

It turned out that she had already expected her own end, so she had already eaten the poisonous osmanthus cake. From the beginning to the end, she couldn't bear to hurt him.

She is still so beautiful, she has passed the age of a girl, but her color is still so beautiful and gentle, her smile is always so gentle, but her face is getting paler, and her breath is getting weaker and weaker. , Yan Tiexin leaned beside her, looking at this woman who had been with her for ten years so seriously for the first time.

"Tie Xin, this life is too short. I would rather never meet you. You always dare not face up to your feelings and keep avoiding them. You will only hurt those who love you..."

Yan Tiexin's face was still expressionless, but his frowning brows had revealed the emotions in his heart, and his voice became deeper and deeper, with irreparable grief: "I'm sorry!"

Ten years passed, the years passed, and he finally failed her.

But Xiangxiang shook his head: "There is no right or wrong in love, Tiexin, I will not be with you anymore, I just hope, I hope that next time you meet someone you like, don't forget to tell her, don't let another A person, like me..."

Xiangxiang smiled: "Actually, I lied to you about another thing. Ye Feng and the others may not be dead yet." Her breathing became weaker and her voice became intermittent: "I sealed them up in the ground, in the cellar, If they... are still alive, remember to say... say ""I'm sorry..."

The unfinished words had disappeared into the air, Xiangxiang's hand dropped, her eyes were tightly closed, and the corners of her slightly raised lips were as innocent and gentle as when they first met.

Yan Tiexin hugged her in a daze, without moving for a long time.

But when the cold liquid fell on his hands, he finally realized that the woman who loved him the most was no longer there.

Gone, what kind of concept is this?

An indescribable sadness filled the suddenly empty place in my heart.

When he was young, he had a crush on his junior sister, but in the battle with his senior brother, he chose to quit, not because he didn't love, nor because he was afraid, but because he was very aware that in the comparison between his senior brother and himself, he chose to quit. In fact, there is one thing that he can't overcome in the end, and that is his deep affection for Jing Rong.

He couldn't love Jing Rong like his elder brother did. In his mind, he just wanted to choose a wife who was suitable for him.

But when he met Xiangxiang, he suddenly realized that he couldn't give them the feelings they wanted, he couldn't give them the peaceful life they wanted, or in other words, they hadn't allowed him to give up his responsibilities, Retreat from the arena.

There is only one answer, he doesn't love them deeply enough.

Yan Tiexin is a calm and cruel person.

It was also this calmness that made him choose to escape.

Avoiding feelings thought it would make them less hurt, but in the end it was a mistake.

He is not as ruthless to Xiangxiang as he thought, but he is used to it, and he doesn't respond, but he doesn't know it. Feelings are accumulated day by day, and no amount of love can withstand consumption, but no matter how much Little love, maybe after time, they will become deeper and tougher.

But there is no second Chu Xiangxiang in the world, and he has no chance to choose again.

This may be God's punishment for him.

……

After Ye Feng woke up for a long time, he learned from Dong Guoren that they had stayed in the cellar for three days and three nights.

Xie Jiaqi's internal injury was not aggravated because of his elixirs, and he could heal within a few days of recuperation. As for himself, because the wound was not cleaned in the dark cellar, he was a little inflamed, and he developed a fever. Fortunately, Xiangxiang In the end, I regretted it before telling them where they were. Otherwise, if I wait a few more days, I am afraid that I will find two real corpses.

Dong Guoren said that when they found him, he was in a coma. Xie Jiaqi hugged him like he was holding a dead person with tears streaming down his face. They were so scared that they thought Ye Feng couldn't hold it anymore.

They originally wanted to take him to Bian Suwen for treatment, but who knew that Xie Jiaqi was probably a little delirious and refused to let go, and finally knocked Xie Jiaqi unconscious before taking him out.After hearing this, Ye Feng touched the bruises on his arm. No wonder he felt such pain in his hand when he was in a coma.

But Ye Feng didn't care that much anymore, he only cared about eating now.

God knows that this is the first time he has been hungry for three whole days in a real sense, but because the injury is not good, everyone only allows him to eat gruel. Ye Feng wants to resist, but every time he sees the usual iceberg face, he freezes up. I'm choking, anyway, it's usually the first to find out what's wrong. I heard Dong Guoren said that he has done his best to save them these days, and it can be regarded as a life-saving grace, so that Ye Feng feels inexplicable when he sees him now. Nervous and stiff.

A person whom you have always regarded as acquaintance who is not even an ordinary friend suddenly has such a loving relationship with yourself, even Ye Feng can't accept it.

Who told Ping Ping to be too cold and a moving iceberg? Ye Feng never thought that such a person would treat them as friends, at most as partners.But after this incident, Ye Feng realized that this person was so kind to him, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little strange and embarrassed.

……

After they recovered, Xiangxiang had already been buried.

A very simple tomb, among the green mountains and green waters in the south of the Yangtze River, looks extraordinarily peaceful and comfortable.

It was the first time Ye Feng saw his second senior brother with facial paralysis have other expressions.

His lips were pursed tightly like a line, and his facial features became more profound and stern.

No matter what Xiangxiang did to them, it is undeniable that Ye Feng still felt sad when he learned of her death.

The time he spent with Xiangxiang was not long, but such a woman is enough to carve a bright and glorious existence in the life of everyone he meets.

But because of being trapped by love, it ended dismal in the end.

Birth, old age, sickness, death.

No one in the world can escape the cycle of reincarnation.

So what about him?
