Chapter 1359 (1/2)
Gu Qingzhou had a brief tinnitus. She couldn't hear other sounds. Only the mechanical sharpness stabbed her eardrum like a needle.
There is wind on her face and under her feet.
Her arms were heavy. She was lying on the trunk, and her ears couldn't help listening to the sound of the root breaking.
Maybe it's just her illusion.
Then she felt Cai Changting pulling her and lifted her up the trunk so that she could ride on it.
The trunk shook and fell a little.
”On... Off...” Gu Qingzhou road. When she spoke, she clearly felt the diaphragm. Even she couldn't hear it clearly.
”Nothing.” Cai Changting also looked.
He saw that a small part of the tree root had turned up.
If they delay further, the tree will be broken by them.
Cai Changting's people should come after them to save them, right?
In his heart, he calculated silently and tried to hook himself up.
He also sat on the trunk, even picked up Gu's boat and took the initiative to move to the root of the tree.
When he moved, the roots of the tree broke more to the extent visible to the naked eye.
Gu Qingzhou ran too fast before and then fell too fast. It took a long time for her tinnitus to end. She could hear the wind whirring through the valley.
She laughed at herself, clasped the trunk with both hands, and let Cai Changting hold her waist: ”two people... I'm afraid they can't hold it. Changting, you should throw me down first.”
Cai Changting looked down.
The morning fog has not yet dissipated. You can't see how deep the canyon is and what's under it.
”Have strength now?” He asked.
He hugged her arm tightly and did not relax for a moment.
Seeing this, Gu Qingzhou felt sorry for him: ”Changting, I'm really not your straw to save your life. Now...”
”I know. I've lost.” Cai Changting continued her words.
At the moment of falling, his heart was also blank for a moment. He grabbed a vine blindly.
Now sitting on the branch of a tree, he had a boundless fear in his heart: what if he didn't catch anything just now?
Now, is he going to fall to pieces with Gu Qingzhou?
People are really vulnerable.
No matter how powerful the thinking, life experience and physique are, they are so helpless on the edge of life and death.
Like Gu Qingzhou, if it weren't for Cai Changting, she couldn't save herself even if she caught the vine. Her arms were out of force because of bondage, and she couldn't work hard at all.
She's so smart. Now she's smart in five steps. Can she save her?
Cai Changting was stubborn and refused to admit defeat. He thought he had a chance to start over.
At this moment, he can finally confess his failure.
He lost.
From the moment the royalist followers and funders were picked up by Gu Qingzhou, they were defeated, and the Japanese military could not save them.
”You're right.” Cai Changting said slowly, ”when I was young, I was too ambitious and went the wrong way. If I had been down-to-earth from the beginning, I would return home and work under a small warlord and replace it in a few years.
Today, as you said, there is a territory. When others fight, they have the spare power to fight back. They are not as passive as they are now. ”
Gu Qingzhou smiled.
”Back to the shore.” Gu Qingzhou said, ”you haven't done anything harmful to nature and reason, and you are young and beautiful. If you change your target life, you will have your own future.”
Cai Changting sighed.
Gu Qingzhou said, ”the life I want most is to live in seclusion with Si Xingyu in a small place. I cook, play the piano, fish and collect lotus on weekdays. How about you?”
Cai Changting thought about it.
His desire for power is nothing more than because he was discriminated against from an early age.
His mother is also a big family. Unfortunately, she didn't listen to the family arrangement and insisted on following his father.
His father Cai Longtou had a wife at that time, and going to Japan was just a refuge.
His mother was pregnant with him and was not allowed by the family. After Cai Longtou came back, she dared not divorce and marry her, so she gave birth to Cai Changting and soon died of depression.
