Chapter 681 Mu Wanting
Chapter 681 Mu Wanting
Lu Beichen's eyes never left Fu Ling, so he took in every one of her expressions. Seeing her suddenly look worried, he asked, "Wife, what have you thought of?"
"Oh, I hope it's not what I think, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, Hong Gu walked towards them as if he had lost his soul.
I originally thought that he would stop when he reached them, but Honggu seemed to have not seen them. He walked straight past them and strolled towards the campfire.
It's not difficult to guess from the situation that something must have happened.
The two followed Hong Gu without saying a word. If any danger really happened, they could provide timely help.
Hong Gu didn't stop until he reached the burning site.
His eyes were somewhat glazed, seemingly unfocused.
The next second, he was ready to rush into the sea of fire like a madman.
Lu Beichen and Fu Ling had already taken precautions and pulled Hong Gu back in time.
"Let go!" Hong Gu shouted angrily with red eyes.
"Master, what's wrong with you? There's a huge fire ahead. You'll definitely be burned to death if you go in like this."
"I just want to see if she is among the people in there!!" When he learned that a woman came to Wanyao Valley many years ago, the woman's origin was mysterious. She rented an uninhabited house in the village. She was taciturn and never got close to others. There was always a veil on her face, so her true appearance could not be seen.
All everyone knew was that she would go to Honggu's house every day and clean his house inside and out. She did this every day without fail, even rain or shine.
But fate played a trick on him. When he came back, he was attacked by a black snake. Now it is still unknown whether the woman is dead or alive.
"Master Hong, please calm down first. Maybe the person is not among them."
"I'm not looking for death, I just want to get closer and identify it."
"Master, the body is burning. Even if you go forward to identify it, you won't be able to recognize it."
Hong Gu was heartbroken. It turned out that the two of them had been around in circles, and when they met again, they were separated forever. God was really unfair.
He wanted to cry but had no tears. He staggered backward and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Beichen caught him in time.
This was the first time Hong Gu lost his composure like this, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Just as he was heartbroken, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him: "What happened in the village?"
The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar, and Hong Gu thought for a moment that he was hallucinating.
The woman had a veil on her face and was limping. She held a thick wooden stick in her hand to support herself as she walked.
She had accidentally entered the No Return Mountain. For some unknown reason, once you enter, it is very difficult to get out. Even the natives dare not enter easily. She didn't know how she got in. By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late. She could no longer find the way back. The mountain was extremely silent, and even the birds in the sky were few in number.
She had learned some self-defense skills and was able to protect herself. However, at night, she missed a step and fell into a trap set by a hunter, injuring her foot.
The woman thought she was dead this time. In her current state, if a large beast appeared in the mountains, she would have no way out.
Fortunately, God had a vision. Just when she was trapped for a day and two nights, smoke began to float in the sky.
The woman didn't want to wait for death in the mountains, so she decided to take a gamble and followed the smoke without looking at the terrain. As a result, she walked out unexpectedly.
As a result, as soon as I returned to the village, I saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village. They all had sad expressions, and there was a raging fire not far away.
The woman was behind Hong Gu and did not recognize him.
He just looked at the sea of fire not far away with a solemn expression on his face, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Hong Gu slowly turned around and saw a woman in white standing behind him with a veil on her face. But at this moment she looked very embarrassed, with her clothes covered in dust and her hair a little messy.
The woman happened to look into Hong Gu's eyes, and a ripple appeared in her originally calm eyes, and then it turned into a turbulent sea.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, thinking she had seen it wrong. She rubbed her eyes, but when she opened them again, the face had not disappeared. It was really that face.
"Wanting, is that you?" Hong Gu's voice was a little hoarse and his eyes were red. He looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. Her figure was the same as in his memory.
"Hong Gu, is it really you?" Mu Wanting cried with joy. She could hardly believe what she saw.
For seven years, she has been waiting for Hong Gu here. She originally thought that they would never meet again in this life, but she never thought that God was kind to her and she could meet him at this time. She was grateful for God's mercy.
"Yes, it's me!" Hong Gu's silent heart started beating again, and he seemed to come back to life.
He and Mu Wanting were sixteen years apart in age, and they fell in love at first sight. However, age was an unbridgeable gap that blocked their love.
Mu Wanting is a very free and easy person who is willing to sacrifice everything for love.
Hong Gu didn't want to hurt her at that time, so he quietly withdrew from her life and left without a sound.
Mu Wanting had been searching for him for a long time and even issued a bounty, offering a reward of a thousand gold coins to anyone who could find the Medicine Saint.
For two years, she felt like every day was a year.
Although there was news about Hong Gu in the martial arts world, it was not accurate enough. Every time she arrived, she missed him.
There were even several times when the two of them passed each other without realizing it.
At first, her family tried their best to stop her behavior. After being locked up several times, she went on hunger strike several times. Finally, her parents were worried that something might happen to her, so they had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.
Unable to find him, Mu Wanting insisted on coming to Wanyao Valley. This was his root, and she believed that sooner or later she would be able to wait for him.
But I didn't expect that I would have to wait for seven years and almost die.
Hong Gu was surprised, but his expression changed drastically and he quickly turned around.
Mu Wanting's originally surprised face turned into a look of loss. The wooden stick in her hand fell to the ground, and she limped to Hong Gu.
"Why don't you dare look at me? Am I ugly now?"
"No, it's not you, it's my fault. I have a head full of white hair now and I'm afraid it will scare you." Hong Gu felt inferior for the first time.
I am afraid of seeing disappointment and disgust in the eyes of the woman I love.
I don’t want the beauty in my heart to be destroyed, I still want to keep that innocence.
"I don't mind it, and I think your white hair is very special and looks good." Mu Wanting said from the bottom of her heart.
Hong Gu raised his head and looked at her, his face hesitant: "Really?"
"It couldn't be more true." Mu Wanting smiled with her eyes curved.
Hong Gu's face flushed with shame, and he quickly changed the subject: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I was waiting for you. When you left that year, you didn't leave a word. Do you know how long I have been looking for you?" Mu Wanting's face was full of grievance, and she could no longer hold back her tears of grievance.
