The Epic Revenge Chapter 1359: The Last Light
Gu Qingzhou had a brief tinnitus, she couldn't hear other sounds, only the mechanical sharpness pierced her eardrum like a needle.
There is wind on her face and wind on her feet.
The arms are heavy, she is lying on the trunk, her ears can't help hearing the sound of the roots breaking.
Maybe it's just her hallucination.
Then, she felt Cai Changting was dragging her and supported her on the tree trunk so that she could ride on it.
The trunk swayed and fell a little.
"At...break..." Gu Qingzhou said. When she spoke, she felt the separation so clearly that even she couldn't hear it.
"It's fine." Cai Changting also glanced at him.
He saw that a small part of the root had been turned up.
If you delay any longer, the tree will be broken by them.
The people of Cai Changting should chase after them to save them, right?
In his heart, he silently calculated something, and tried to hook himself up.
He also sat on the tree trunk, even picked up Gu Qingzhou and moved to the root of the tree.
As soon as he moved, the roots of the tree were more visible to the naked eye.
Gu Qingzhou ran too fast before, but then fell too fast. After a while, her tinnitus ended, and she could hear the wind whistling in the valley.
She laughed at herself, clasped the tree trunk with both hands, and let Cai Changting hug her waist: "Two people... I'm afraid they can't hold it. Changting, you should throw me down first. ."
Cai Changting glanced down.
The morning fog has not yet dissipated, and it is difficult to see how deep the canyon is and what is under it.
“Have the strength now?” he asked.
He hugged her arm tightly, not letting go for a moment.
Seeing this, Gu Qingzhou felt pity for him inexplicably: "Changting, I'm really not your life-saving straw. To this point..."
"I know, I have lost." Cai Changting continued her words.
At the moment of falling, his heart was also blank for a moment, blindly grabbing with all his might, he caught a vine.
Now sitting on the branch of the tree, he has a boundless fear in his heart: what if he didn't catch anything?
Now, is he going to fall to pieces with Gu Qingzhou?
People are really vulnerable.
No matter how powerful the mind, life experience, and physique are, they are so helpless on the edge of life and death.
Like Gu Qingzhou, if it wasn't for Cai Changting, she wouldn't be able to save herself even if she grabbed the vine, her arms were out of strength because of the restraint, and she couldn't use her strength at all.
She is so smart, can she save her with her five steps and one calculation at this moment?
Cai Changting is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat, thinking that he still has a chance to start all over again.
At this moment, he can finally confess his failure.
He lost.
From the moment the followers and sponsors of the royalists were grabbed by Gu Qingzhou, they were completely defeated, and the Japanese military could not save them.
"You're right." Cai Changting said slowly, "When I was young, my ambitions were too big and I took the wrong path. If I had been down-to-earth from the beginning, I would return to China to work under a certain warlord, and replace him in a few years. .
As of today, as you say, there is one side. When someone else called, he had the strength to fight back, not as passive as he is now. "
Gu Qingzhou smiled.
"Going back is the shore." Gu Qingzhou said, "You haven't done anything destructive, and you are young and beautiful. If you change your life goals, you will have your own future."
Cai Changting sighed.
Gu Qingzhou said: "The life I want most is to be able to live in seclusion with Si Xingpei in a small place, cook, play the piano, fish and pick lotus, and be free from the world. What about you?"
Cai Changting also thought about it.
His desire for power is nothing more than because he was discriminated against since he was a child.
His mother also came from a big family, but unfortunately, she refused to obey the family's arrangement and insisted on following his father.
His father, Cai Longtou, had a wife at that time and went to Japan as a refuge.
The mother was pregnant with him and was not allowed by the family. After Cai Longtou came back, he did not dare to divorce and marry her, so she gave birth to Cai Changting and died in depression soon after.
From then on, Cai Changting lived with an old servant sent by Cai Longtou.
When he grows up and gradually has some ability, his grandfather's family will recognize him, which is of course a very contemptuous attitude.
He is too beautiful, and many people attacked him. The grievances he has suffered are indescribable.
Everyone who fantasizes about ascending to the sky has suffered too much pain and grievance. He wants revenge, and his enemies are too many, too strong, and he wants them all to kneel before his feet.
The process of getting stronger step by step is too slow and the effect is too weak.
These forced him to take this path.
His goals are the same as Mrs. Ye's goals, and he has prepared the oriole from the very beginning.
His life was planned so neatly, but he never imagined that when his life was on the line, the tree supporting him was crumbling. He left the burden of Gu Qingzhou, the tree would be stronger for a while, but he was tight hugged her tightly.
His arms and his heart all embraced her, and nowhere did he think about leaving her.
If you go back five years and someone tells Cai Changting that he will hold another person in his heart, and even take his life, he will definitely mock him.
He has no feelings for people.
No one is enough to leave a mark in his heart.
He has lived for so many years and has enough intelligence, so when he knew that he would never let go of the arm that was encircling Gu Qingzhou, he conceded.
"I..." He thought hard.
Thousands of thoughts, like the wind in the valley, passed through his limbs, and what he wanted most, floated in his heart, "I want you to live the most."
Gu Qingzhou was startled.
Cai Changting looked up.
It's been so long, and his people haven't chased after him. He thinks they should have dispersed in a hurry.
Huo Yujing ran away, which made them see an uncertain future. These killers had only ruthlessness and no loyalty. They abandoned him.
And the tree on the cliff, the trunk has been broken in half, and the remaining half is struggling to support the two of them.
If we delay any longer, before Si Xingpei arrives, they will fall first.
Cai Changting suddenly leaned over and kissed Gu Qingzhou's forehead.
Gu Qingzhou instinctively wanted to step back, but her remaining rationality kept her still.
Once back, she will fall.
"The era of melee war between warlords is almost over." Cai Changting said, "I no longer have the qualifications to be king.
Fuck low and start small, I can't do it, and no one is qualified to call me. The breath I had endured all my life was completely broken. Qingzhou, I really lost. "
The roots of the tree behind him were broken again, making a sour squeak.
There are no footsteps up there yet.
The rescuer did not come.
If it is delayed any longer, the tree will be completely broken, leading him and Gu Qingzhou to the abyss.
This woman adorned his pale life with color.
He thought he loved her.
Love gave him a little humanity, which was the only brilliance in his twenty years of life.
He can't take this brilliance and fall into the abyss together.
However, with the two of them together, the tree may not last ten minutes.
In ten minutes, Si Xingpei can't get there, and neither can the rescue.
But without him, the tree would last for thirty minutes.
At that time, rescue may come.
This is a shallow, insignificant vitality.
A person's vitality.
Cai Changting pulled Gu Qingzhou into his arms and kissed her on the forehead: "don't forget me."
After all, he loosened his hands and fell down without hesitation, as if he had practiced thousands of times, maintaining the last bit of light in his humanity.
Without his support, Gu Qingzhou almost fell down. She lay on the tree and watched Cai Changting's body quickly disappear into the morning fog. Slowly, she heard an echo.
