Chapter 1412 The price of honesty
Bang!
The door slammed shut, and the sound was like a heavy hammer hitting my soul. It made me feel dazed for a moment, and my hands and feet seemed to be numb, so that my steps became messy for a moment, and my limbs became confused.
It was like having an electric shock and convulsions, severe lack of coordination.
"Sure enough, everyone is an independent individual. No one can make the people and things around them obey their own will and develop in the direction they most want to see."
I twitched the corner of my mouth, looked up at the hazy night with thin mist, and let out a deep breath.
In the yard, a battle was still going on.
The old ghost is very powerful, but the tiger can't resist the wolves, especially when the wolves are frightened and angry, and put on a posture of fighting for their lives without stopping, the tiger becomes even more difficult to resist, and there are many scars on his body. At this moment
He was surrounded by Wushuang and several people, with gloomy eyes, guarding the surroundings like an old owl.
"do not fight!"
I waved my hand and sat down in front of the steps holding the knife.
Wushuang and the others glared at the old ghost fiercely, but still put away their weapons.
"Come here and have a chat!"
I waved to the old ghost, who hesitated for a moment, then finally came over and sat down next to me, huffing and puffing like he had bronchitis.
I touched my trouser pocket and found it was dry. Only then did I realize that I had not even had time to change my clothes in my panic.
The old ghost took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and threw it to me.
I lit a cigarette, and when the spicy smoke flowed into my lungs, my depression was finally released. I felt the long-lost relaxation. I squinted my eyes slightly and asked softly: "Tell me, what happened to the red lady?"
What are you fussing about?! Everyone is obviously working well together, why are you so confused all of a sudden?"
"If only I knew why!"
The old ghost groaned: "I know the grudges between her and Lao Bai. She has suffered so much over the years, and how much she hates Lao Bai in her heart. But she has always been very restrained. Who knows today?"
Suddenly he said that he wanted to see Lao Bai, and I persuaded him right away. Lao Bai is no longer what he used to be. He is no longer the panic-stricken dog that was chased by flower boats. There is a heavenly master behind him, and a group of wolves around him.
Brother Xihu, our cooperation is in full swing now. It is really unwise to see Lao Bai at this time!
But she didn't listen, she... cried so hard that she begged me, saying that she couldn't be freed..."
I was stunned for a moment: "Can the red lady cry?"
"Well, I cried. I cried very miserably."
The old ghost nodded: "I haven't seen her cry for many years. I haven't seen her cry since she was forced into the guest's cabin. Now that she is about to achieve her long-cherished wish, she is crying.
This was also the first time she begged me, so I relented and couldn't bear to see her like this, so I had no choice but to agree."
I frowned and asked, "Is it so sudden?! Think about it carefully!"
“It’s really sudden!!
You are back and you have brought back the thing she asked for.
The outcome of the dispute over the flower boat was immediately announced. She had strong foreign aid, and she had a pass in her hand to lead the flower boat into the future. She won completely.
After the Four Sects and Twelve Halls received the news, everyone almost immediately expressed their stance except Wu Tang and Xing Tang, who were completely on Tang Jingsheng's broken ship.
She was very happy, especially after having a conversation with Qingzhu, the spokesperson of Tianmeng, she became even happier. She met many, many people and made many, many arrangements throughout the day."
The old ghost said slowly: "Later, she met Yu Linglong and Ning Ma Niu, and asked them to describe in detail what they saw and heard along the way.
The two didn't hide anything and they chatted for a long time.
Until, after talking about Ning Ma Niu and the three of them disobeying your orders, seizing the jade book, and later escaping from death, Lao Bai threatened Ning Ma Niu in a rage, and the red lady's face didn't look very good.
It's natural.
She said she wanted to see Lao Bai and begged me hard, but I had no choice but to agree.
So, she invited you to have dinner together, hoping to warn you about this matter. After all, she still had some sense at that time.
Who would have thought that when you came back, you would just close the door and thank the guests without seeing anyone.
She stayed alone in the room for a long time, and finally contacted Lao Bai. At that time, I was still praying that Lao Bai must not come. Who would have thought that this tough guy... who is usually so smart, could actually commit a crime at this time?
I'm so stupid, I actually came here by myself in the middle of the night..."
I was a little confused after hearing this: "Zhao Xiaodao, Ning Ma Niu and Yu Linglong tricked us. Is it because Lao Bai threatened Ning Ma Niu that she is not happy?"
"The Red Lady shouldn't be that kind of person. As long as you get the jade book, even if you kill Ning Ma Niu and Yu Linglong, I guess she won't care too much."
Zhang Xinya suddenly said: "The way the red lady looks like this may still have something to do with what Lao Bai said when he threatened Ning Ma Niu. However, at that time, we were still entangled by ghost cultivators. Only you and Lao Bai plus Ning
Ma Niu escaped into the underground passage first, what on earth did Lao Bai say to Ning Ma Niu?!"
I scratched my head and thought about it carefully. It was just that it had been a long time ago and I didn’t remember it clearly. I just vaguely remembered what Lao Bai said - no one owes the red lady anything.
He also said that from the moment he was sold on the ship, it was the matchmaker's destiny to receive guests. He, Lao Bai, just tried to change the matchmaker's fate. Could it be that because he failed in the end, all the blame fell on him?
Roughly speaking, this is what Lao Bai said at that time.
"This is why the red lady suddenly went crazy."
Zhang Xinya said softly: "The Red Lady actually loves Lao Bai very much. Even now, she still loves Lao Bai very much."
I looked at her in disbelief. If the old ghost hadn't been there, I would have wanted to ask her - whose side are you really on?
"This has nothing to do with your position. It's just that if you want to figure out why the red lady went crazy, you must first look at the problem from her perspective."
Zhang Xinya said: "Actually, there are fundamental differences between men and women in terms of emotions. Men prefer to play the role of the backbone in the relationship, while women prefer to play the role of the trustee. Of course, for adults,
For most people this is the case.
Obviously, the red lady loved Lao Bai, so she entrusted herself to Lao Bai. As a result, Lao Bai ran away unfaithfully and left her on the boat to suffer. So, how much pain has the red lady suffered in these years?
She hated Lao Bai so much, and this hatred itself was based on love. If the person who abandoned her and ran away was not Lao Bai, but someone she had no feelings for at all, maybe she really wouldn't be angry at all.
The way to think about this problem is similar to what Lao Bai said - she just tried to change her destiny, tried hard, and failed. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Not only did she not hate this person, she was even grateful to him.
To put it bluntly, Lao Bai is Red Lady's lover. Red Lady entrusted herself to him and believed that it was Lao Bai's responsibility to take her away. There was no reason for her not to hate Lao Bai when Lao Bai ran away.
This kind of hatred has almost become the motivation for her to keep going. The more guilty Lao Bai is, the more comfortable she is. This is not only revenge, but also a kind of self-comfort. If Lao Bai feels guilty, it at least means... Lao Bai once loved
Pass her, this will at least give her some comfort.
So, when Lao Bai made it clear that even if he failed, he would not owe the Red Lady anything, the Red Lady collapsed.
Her hate, her love, and everything in her past have become a joke.
This is why the red lady went crazy!"
so complicated!!
After listening to it, I was stunned. After thinking about it for a long time, I found that I still couldn't understand it.
Zhang Xinya sighed: "In short, Lao Bai is in danger today."
