Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 140

Scarlett's face turned rosy because of excitement, and it seemed that people outside were about to have internal strife.Scarlett continued to fan the flames: "The robbers outside, you will never be as good as Johnny. We decided to give Tara to Johnny, and you just wait to drink the northwest wind." Scarlett couldn't help laughing, If Rhett saw this, he would definitely sneer at Scarlett again.

After Scarlett fanned the flames several times, the crowd outside became more and more commotion. Scarlett could hear Johnny begging for mercy, and Archie wanted to kill Johnny.Of course, the gang of robbers wanted to rush into Tara all at once, it seemed that Tara was full of treasures.

Will also ran out, grabbed Scarlett, and whispered, "Scarlett, this trick seems to work, but what should we do next?"

Scarlett really didn't think about this point. It seems that this strategy can only be used once. What happens after the robbers solve Johnny?Is Tara really going to be given to these bandits?Killing Scarlett wouldn't give them Tara.

The bickering continued, and the apparent robbers seemed to be split between Johnny and the one-legged Archie.And at this moment, several gunshots pierced the sky above Tara.

Scarlett frowned, did these robbers really shoot.But when he listened carefully, the one-legged Archie yelled, "Police!" Police?Scarlett was confused, where did the police come from?And the robber's gun started to ring out, which seemed to be two forces, one side was the sound of gunshots, and the other side was the calm voice.

"Gentlemen and gentlemen who have come from afar, please put down your weapons, the police will not harm you." Nice bass, very familiar voice.

Scarlett was taken aback, why did this voice sound like Rhett's?Is it really Rhett who is here, or is it his own hallucination.

"Will, what did you hear?" Scarlett asked in a low voice, afraid of breaking her illusion.

"Scarlett, it's Rhett's voice." Will's radiant look made Scarlet feel that this was not an illusion, it was Rhett who really came, and Rhett brought the police.

"My God, it's really Rhett. I thought I was dreaming. Rhett is really here." Scarlett shouted overjoyed.He tightly covered his mouth with both hands, and at the same time he was very worried about Rhett's safety, after all, guns don't have eyes.

Will hugged Scarlett tightly, seeming to understand Scarlett's thoughts: "Don't worry, Scarlett, there are policemen outside. We are saved."

Scarlett nodded fiercely. At this time, Scarlett's family members ran out, because the gunshots outside became less and less, and the noisy voices disappeared. Tara seemed to be quiet again.In just a split second, without a sound, Scarlett's heart rose to her throat.

"Rhett?" Scarlett groaned, but made no answer.Scarlett thought she was going crazy.

She yelled loudly: "Will, bring them in." After saying that, she ran to the gate and opened it suddenly, Scarlett froze there.

Will and the others looked at each other, as if they didn't know what Scarlett saw.But there was no doubt that the robbers were dead, but why was Scarlett standing there so quietly?

"Rhett? Is it really you?" Scarlett asked in surprise.

Ritter nodded: "I don't know how many people you're going to offend. This time it's Johnny, who will it be next time? I'm not that capable. I bring the police to see you Tara every day."

Scarlett's tears flowed out suddenly. Rhett always pretended to be strong, but there was no indifference in Rhett's eyes, and there was only joy, just like the warm and warm eyes when they first met.

Scarlett couldn't bear it anymore, ran over, hugged Rhett, and a corner of her heart was opened just like that.

Rhett gently pushed Scarlett away, turned his head and shouted to several police officers, "Thank you, it's safe here."

The leading policeman smiled and said, "Then Mr. Butler, we went back and reported to the mayor. I wish you a happy day."

Rhett took off his hat and waved his hand.Dozens of policemen patted the orderly team and left Tara.

Scarlett was busy wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, what happened to herself?When Tara was about to fall just now, she didn't cry. When Rhett bullied her, she didn't cry.Why are you crying now?What a loser, Scarlett told herself.

But the bottom of my heart is warm, especially the familiar smell on Rhett's body, which fascinates me.Scarlett felt that Rhett was back, and she must not let him go this time.

"How did you know that the robbers were coming?" Scarlett couldn't help asking.

Rhett smiled, and said: "When I was on the street, I heard that Johnny led Archie to Tara's side. I remembered your holidays before, so I asked the mayor to approve a few police officers temporarily. I didn't expect It really came in handy." Rhett was very relaxed when he said this, only he knew in his heart how scared he was when he heard that Johnny brought a large group of people to Tara just now.

What if the robbers had robbed Tara and he never saw Scarlett again?Rhett felt that he couldn't breathe at all, although he had always disguised himself with cynicism, it was only because he was afraid of getting hurt.

But now, I have confirmed one thing, I still love Scarlett.He didn't want to delay his love for Scarlett because of other things.And Scarlett also confirmed her inner thoughts.

Scarlett began to laugh when the barrier broke between the two hearts.

Through Rhett's shoulder, Scarlett saw several people standing behind him.Ashley still smiled so gracefully, Jack seemed to have grown up, his skin became darker, and the last one turned out to be his uncle Philip.Scarlett suddenly didn't know what kind of mood she should be in. Everything seemed to appear in front of her eyes, like a movie, but it was all blurry.

"You don't mind if I bring them all back?" Rhett's eyes were already full of tenderness. He was no longer the indifferent Rhett. It seemed that after so long, Rhett's love for Scarlett More mature and stable.

Scarlett understood that Rhett must have her own ideas when she brought them back, "Ritter, as long as you are willing, Scarlett will agree." It's just that Scarlett really couldn't guess what Rhett wanted to do.

Is today really an eventful day?The incident with the robbers seemed to have stopped just now. Could it be that these people are going to do something again?Could it be that Rhett wanted to announce something important?Scarlett looked at those people suspiciously, and of course, those people did not let Scarlett look away.

"Then I don't know Miss Scarlett, would you please allow us to enter Tara, drink tea and chat?" Rhett shrugged, making a joking gesture, his eyes aimed inside, as if there were infinite treasures inside.

Several people came behind Scarlett, Will Suellen, and the children.Scarlett glanced at them, Will looked righteous, and Suellen was obviously a mother again, and there was nothing special about it.

"You are definitely welcome. After all, the robbers just now have been beaten away. We can celebrate Tara's safety and well-being. Of course, we must thank you for your help." Scarlett said politely, of course, this tone was aimed at Ah. Ashley and Philip's.Scarlett must have been a warm welcome to Rhett and Jack.

"Miss Scarlett, are you okay?" Jack ran to Scarlett, and Scarlett put an arm around Jack's shoulder.It's just that this child, whom I haven't seen for a while, has grown taller, and his face is full of maturity.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Scarlett is best at asking back questions, and of course Jack is no exception.Such rhetorical questions can make yourself aggressive, and it can also make the other party clean up.

"I'll tell you later, but let's keep it secret for now." Jack showed his white teeth.

"Then why are you with them?" Scarlett carefully glanced at Ashley and Philip behind her, eyes full of doubts, and how could Rhett be with them?These questions almost made Scarlett unable to think, and they seemed quite complicated.

Jack also followed Scarlett's eyes and glanced at several people, saying: "Actually, this matter is very complicated to talk about, and I will tell you slowly in a while."

When Scarlett heard what Jack said, she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​knowing the truth for the time being.It's just that there are still many doubts in my heart.Rhett was intoxicated by the smell of freshly turned earth in Tara's land.

Tara is Scarlett's hometown, and it's also where Rhett likes Scarlett.This used to be his own paradise, but later he lost this paradise with his own hands. Now that he set foot on the land of Tara again, Rhett's mood is very complicated.This kind of complexity is like a person who has been wandering for a long time, suddenly finds his way home, and there is such a light at home that is on for him.Rhett felt warm in his heart. It turns out that misunderstanding and ridicule are not a shortcut to solve all problems.

Only by eliminating misunderstandings and being honest with each other, then all misunderstandings will not breed suspicion.But it was precisely because of such a mistake that he and Scarlett's love became more and more barren, and they both lived in pain.If she realized this one day earlier, what kind of happy life would Scarlett and herself have.

Will has always been a hospitable person. In Tara's manor, although the manor belongs to Scarlett, Will has never regarded it as his home.Will admires Scarlett, and Suellen treats him very well, so Will treats Tara as his own child.

In a corner of the manor, Will arranged everyone's tea sets and served a lot of fruit.Scarlett and Rhett held her hand tightly all the time, as if they would never quarrel in this lifetime.
