Chapter 22 What Happened in the Past
"who are you?"
As soon as he walked in, Ji Shubai had already noticed that even though he was not conscious enough to have a high fever, a person who walked in still felt something.
Gu Qingyun ignored him, and quickly snatched the sword from his hand, ignoring the opponent's struggle, squeezed his chin, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Ji Shubai's mouth was tightly closed, but Gu Qingyun poured water directly into his mouth with a sophisticated technique, and his choked tears flowed down, and the end of his eyes was slightly reddish, but Gu Qingyun still showed no mercy Gu Qingyun didn't let go until he swallowed the elixir.
"Cough cough cough... What did you eat for me?!" Ji Shubai stretched out his finger and put it on his throat, trying to spit out the pill in his mouth, but the pill had already entered the internal organs. Doing it just doesn't help.
He vomited on the spot for a while, but didn't spit out anything, his tone was extremely cold: "Who asked you to come?"
As soon as the words fell, the sword light flashed, and the sword in his hand instantly stabbed in the direction of Gu Qingyun.
Judging his position just by the sound of breathing?
Gu Qingyun dodged directly behind him, and struck the back of his neck forcefully. In the end, Ji Shubai's eyes widened unwillingly, and he passed out.
Throwing this person directly on the bed, he found that the other person's bed smelled of damp, and there was a huge hole in the middle of the bed sheet. It was obvious that someone had given him the unwanted fabric, just to bully him so he couldn't see it.
Sighing, he made a quick decision, and after turning the bed into a new look, Gu Qingyun turned and left.
In the early morning of the second day, Gu Qingyun had just stretched his waist when Lu Xian walked over with his green fan, and said with emotion as he walked, "I'm going to tell you something."
Facing Gu Qingyun's suspicious gaze, he raised his legs up, raised the teacup in his hand and drank the tea in one gulp, his tone seemed very sad, but he said with a smile on his face: "Ji Shubai is dying soon. .”
Gu Qingyun noticed his words, he was about to die, but he was not dead yet, so he frowned, thinking his words were so weird: "Why did you say this to me?"
Lu Xian waved his bright green fan more cheerfully, but he answered irrelevant questions: "I saw him being pushed down the well this morning. According to this time, he should soon die." With a mournful look, there was no sadness in his eyes and he said: "Speaking of which, he is really unlucky, he will be bullied when he walks on the road, and the murderer who bullied him afterward may not know the name of the murderer, what do you think is miserable? ?”
Gu Qingyun couldn't hear what Lu Xian said later. He stared at the person in front of him in disbelief, as if he heard an unbelievable answer: "So what? You just left?"
Hasn't the other party been following Ji Shubai all the time?How come seeing him being pushed down the well by others, not only didn't lend a helping hand, but also treated him so indifferently.
Lu Xian's eyes were bigger than his, and he looked shocked as if he couldn't understand the other party's words: "I have something urgent this morning, why should I save him!"
"What urgent matter do you have that you can disregard a person's life?"
"I'm busy eating morning tea this morning!" Lu Xian tilted his head, with a look of innocence and indifference in his eyes: "Life and death are determined, and wealth depends on the sky. Shouldn't this kind of thing be his life? How can I stop it!"
His remarks were convincing and seemed reasonable, but as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingyun stood up straight and walked out the door.
Noticing that the white figure outside disappeared by the door, Lu Xian put down his raised Erlang legs, squinted his eyes, looked thoughtful, gently shook the fan in his hand, drank the tea on the table, and ate the pastries Finally, she stretched her waist, and then walked slowly towards the door.
When Gu Qingyun arrived, in order to avoid causing commotion like the last time, he deliberately turned into a figure, and found the well where Ji Shubai was pushed into.
The well was in a remote place, and there were not many people going there on weekdays, so he made a decision to fish people up.
After soaking in the water for a long time, Ji Shubai's skin was soaked and turned pale. Gu Qingyun took a blanket and put a heating amulet on it to ensure that the other party would not catch a cold. Bai hugged him.
The only feeling in this hug is that the child is surprisingly light, a child is at the age where he can eat, why is his body so weak?
There were some disciples beside him who saw Ji Shubai who was rescued. Some disciples looked at Ji Shubai with pity, and felt that he was rescued and felt uncomfortable psychologically. The ending of a single person being beaten.
He looked at the disciple beside him who was quietly observing this scene, his face darkened, and he said seriously: "You saw someone in the well, why didn't you go and save him?!"
If an elder asked this question, they might panic and try to explain it desperately, but in front of them there was only a young man who was a little older than them, and his expression was still strange, probably because he had just arrived here.
So one of the disciples with a mole on the corner of his mouth sneered and said, "Who are you? How dare you question us!"
It has been many years since no one dared to speak to him in this tone, and Gu Qingyun was quite surprised when he suddenly heard someone using this tone with him, but he soon remembered that he had transformed himself, and the other party couldn't recognize him Whoever it was, the surprised look disappeared and turned into calm.
Just because the disciple saw that Gu Qingyun didn't speak, and his face was very strange, he must be a disciple who just started, so he said mockingly: "I didn't push him into the well, and I don't know him well, why should I rescue him?" ?”
The disciples standing on the side also expressed their agreement and laughed together.
The disciple with the beard took two steps forward, circled around Gu Qingyun a few times, and sarcastically said: "I advise you to see the situation clearly, as a new disciple who just started, choose the right path, so as not to regret it in the future , what? Why are you staring at me like that? Oh, do you want to take revenge on me?"
Gu Qingyun pursed her lips, hugged the person in her arms, and walked out the door.
The disciple stared at Gu Qingyun's leaving back and smiled triumphantly: "What, are you scared?"
Seeing that Gu Qingyun didn't answer for a while, the young man with a beard and together said to the disciple next to him: "Look, your elder is scared!"
There was sharp sarcasm in his tone.
It had been a long time since Gu Qingyun had such emotions. He stopped, turned his head, and looked slightly deep: "I remember you."
As soon as he finished speaking, many disciples around him burst out laughing.
"Remember our Fu Shao?"
"Young master Fu remembers too many people, who does he think of himself as?"
"It's really funny!"
Gu Qingyun left in a hurry without saying a word.
During this period of time, Ji Shubai's clothes were thin, and he had a fever because of a cold. When he had a fever, he didn't realize that there was something wrong with his body. He only felt that he was much hotter than usual, so he took off two clothes to let his body cool down. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, his health has not been good since he was a child, but this behavior now made his fever worse.
It wasn't until that night that he realized that something was wrong, his mind became a mess, like he was dreaming, and he couldn't control what he was doing.
Until the door was opened, a person walked in, with a biting chill all over his body.
The cold wind woke him up a bit.
He asked the other party what to say, but the other party ignored him, "feed" him to swallow the medicine in an unreasonable and compulsive way, and then knocked him out again.
I thought this person came here to seek revenge, and after taking this medicine, he should sleep forever and never wake up again. Who would have thought that when he woke up, he found himself deep in a warm bedding.
This situation is really weird.
When practicing swords in the early morning, someone pushed him from behind him, and then his whole body fell into the well water. The deep well water submerged his head. Living on the wall of the well, the wind and cold only got better yesterday, and the body has not yet recovered, and now he fell into the well, and his whole body was extremely heavy.
He desperately shouted for help, but no one stopped, and no one appeared until his voice became hoarse.
One person, never.
After a while, he heard someone on the side of the well saying to him: "Don't struggle, there is a talisman at the mouth of the well, no matter how loud you shout, no one will hear you."
As soon as the sound fell, someone laughed at the mouth of the well.
They didn't want him to die, but equally, they didn't want him to feel good.
The spiritual power in his body was gradually exhausted, his whole body gradually sank into the water, and the buzzing sound began to appear in his ears, tired and heavy.
Then he heard a voice that seemed to come from afar——
"You saw someone in the well, why didn't you save him?!"
He only felt the warmth in the arms of the person who was hugging him, and his footsteps were steady, he could still hear the person's scolding, and the tip of his nose was filled with the faint sandalwood from the person's clothes.
It was the first time he saw someone speak for him, and he was curious and full of twisted weirdness. The whole person seemed to be divided into two parts, the body was still tired and numb, but the spirit was clear.
My father said to my younger siblings since I was a child: My brother can't see me, so you have to give way to my brother.
But once something really happened, he was extremely tolerant to his younger brothers and sisters——
— Just kidding, they're still kids.
No one cared, in fact, he was just a child.
No one talked to him, and gradually he didn't want to talk to others, and even if there were friendly people, he didn't want to communicate with them.
After a long time, his father would say to him, why are you so withdrawn?
He said nothing.
The father sighed deeply again: "It's already lonely on the road of practice, so it's good for you."
So everyone thought he was withdrawn, and he really became more and more withdrawn.
Gu Qingyun injected a period of spiritual power into his body, which made his pale complexion gradually improve a little. He poured a cup of medicine, felt the temperature was right, and handed it to Ji Shubai.
The other party took it with soaked and wrinkled fingers, holding the cup in both hands, and didn't drink it immediately.
"The temperature of this medicine is just right." As if he knew his worry, his whole body was numb from the soak, and he couldn't tell the temperature of the medicine for a while.
After saying this, the other party drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.
Gu Qingyun reckoned that he would be able to recover after resting for a period of time, thinking not to disturb him, so he was about to leave, when he heard Ji Shubai's slightly hoarse voice——
"who are you?"
Gu Qingyun still remembered that when he first joined the Xuantian sect, the other party's immature voice had a mature accent, but now the voice sounded like an old tree that was about to break down, crumbling in the wind.
Seeing that Gu Qingyun remained silent, his tone became urgent: "I know, you were the one who came to my room last night."
Thinking that he was extremely puzzled, his expression was full of doubts: "Why did you save me?"
"Why can't I do this?"
Gu Qingyun's expression was also full of doubts. Although Ji Shubai couldn't see the other person's face, he could hear his confusion about this question from his tone.
"You have never done anything harmful, why can't I save you?"
As if overwhelmed by this kind of question, Ji Shubai blinked, his long and slender eyelashes hung wetly on his eyelids, as if they were steamed, giving him a slightly weak and pitiful taste.
Gu Qingyun stretched out his hand to dry his clothes with spiritual power, thinking that the other party didn't know it was him, so he stretched out his hand and pinched the other party's face.
Feels great!
With this pinch, Gu Qingyun felt that his mood became much happier.
Ji Shubai was a little shocked by the other party's sudden action, his eyes were a little confused, his eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the emotions in his eyes, he stretched out his fingers, gently tugged on the other party's sleeve and said: "What are you talking about?" what name?"
He has asked this question three times, but Gu Qingyun has never paid attention to him. This time, he may be sick, and his expression is a little weak, unlike the usual indifference, with a strong nasal tone in his voice, like It's like being coquettish.
No one had ever spoken to him in this tone before, Gu Qingyun found it fresh and interesting for a moment.
Seeing that the other party fell into silence again, Ji Shubai tugged on the other party's sleeve again, the force he used was very light, which gave Gu Qingyun the illusion that the apex of his heart was being pulled slowly.
"My name is Gu... Ergou." He almost said it, but fortunately, he stopped in time at the critical moment.
This obviously made-up name made Ji Shubai silent for a while, and he organized his words: "Brother Gu, are you a new disciple?"
"No, I'm just an outer disciple who sweeps the floor every day."
I don't know whether Ji Shubai believed these remarks, but he said very seriously:
"It will be bad luck for you to offend them." He raised his glazed eyes, which reflected Gu Qingyun's elegant figure, as if he wanted to widen his eyes to see the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, but it was a pity that his eyes were pitch black.
"It's okay, I'll be fine." His tone was gentle, just thinking of those people just now, Gu Qingyun almost sneered.
It is actually a relatively normal thing for disciples to fight openly and secretly. Everyone turns a blind eye. After all, this kind of behavior can make disciples fight for better resources, make disciples more active in cultivation, and make the sect prosperous.
Gu Qingyun was aware of the behavior of "fighting openly and secretly", and the sect also allowed it in private, but there was a limit to this permission, after all, the sect still had a rule of unity and friendship.
Today's matter, the other party did too much, if Ji Shubai really encountered an accident in this matter, it would become a fratricide.
Gu Qingyun felt a little chilled at such a young age to be so ruthless.
After Ji Shubai heard the other party's sentence "It's going to be fine", he fell into a strange silence again, his mouth was tightly pursed, and the corners of his eyes were red, which seemed a little pitiful.
At this time, Gu Qingyun felt that his lie seemed too false. After all, if he was really just an ordinary outsider disciple who swept the floor, how could he not be afraid of revenge from them?
Although Ji Shubai is young, he is not a fool, so he definitely doesn't believe it.
"You have insufficient energy and blood, and your physique is poor. You need to rest for a while." Gu Qingyun didn't want to explain too much, took out a bottle of medicine from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Shubai: "One pill each time, twice a day."
Ji Shubai didn't take the medicine, Gu Qingyun saw that he didn't move, and put the medicine bottle on the table.
He still had other things to do, and it was not too late, so he planned to leave.
When he opened the door, Gu Qingyun lowered his head, the cold winter sun shone on his face, with a translucent white, his frail and frail body looked quite fragile.
His bloodless lips trembled: "Will you come over tomorrow?"
Gu Qingyun rubbed his index finger against the door, but did not answer.
The door closed after a "creak", and the room was once again reflected in the darkness. The aroma of rosewood wood disappeared in the room. There was no warmth in the room, but endless refreshing cold. Ji Shubai curled up his whole body in the bedding, as if That way you get even more warmth.
I'm afraid the other party won't come...
Back at the Wuming Peak, the maids saw his eyes lit up instantly, and they patted the paperwork on the table, the meaning was very clear.
Gu Qingyun smiled wryly, looked at the documents, he was quite focused when doing things, as long as he did this, he would not think about irrelevant things temporarily.
There were a lot of things to deal with this time, and he was busy until the night of the second day before he remembered the anticipation on Ji Shubai's face that day when he came to leave.
Gu Qingyun thought for a while, it was almost midnight, and most of the disciples had already fallen asleep, he didn't know if the other party was still asleep, after all, he didn't give a reply that day.
Transformed into his body and came to his residence, Gu Qingyun thought, if the other party is asleep, he will leave safely, if the other party is not asleep, he will accompany the other party for a while, anyone who is bullied will have a little psychological shadow, and he will treat him for a while It's not difficult at all.
He thought so mentally, but after seeing an orange light in front of the door, a very strange feeling rose in his heart.
I still vaguely remember that when I was very young, my mother always left a lamp in front of the door when waiting for my father.
He pushed open the door and found Ji Shubai who hadn't fallen asleep yet. The other party's mo hair was draped behind him, and his back was straight, which made him look extraordinarily thin.
When he heard the door open, he pursed his lips and said, "You're here."
There was not much excitement on his face, but Gu Qingyun knew that he was happy in his heart, as could be seen from the thick dark circles under his eyes.
"You want to meet me?"
why?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask this question. He didn't understand the other party's mentality deep down. He could only understand that after being bullied, he felt empty in his heart and needed someone to rely on. The person who happened to be relied on was he.
Ji Shubai's eyelashes trembled slightly. Facing this question, he thoughtfully replied: "If you hate me, you don't have to force yourself."
Gu Qingyun frowned, not understanding the other party's logic: "Why do you think I hate you?"
"If I'm not annoying, why would I be bullied?" There was innocence and doubt in his glazed eyes, and his words seemed to have confirmed the fact that "I'm annoying".
Regarding this question, Gu Qingyun sighed deeply in his heart, if you had never lost your eyesight, with such a talent, you might have encountered a different state, and it's not your fault.
He stroked the top of Ji Shubai's head, saw him sitting there obediently, and said softly, "I don't hate you, on the contrary, I like you very much."
As soon as this remark came out, the other party's crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, a flash of astonishment flashed across his pale face, and a thin layer of smog rose behind his ears.
Speaking of this, Gu Qingyun thought of something, and said with a smile: "Open your mouth."
Ji Shubai looked dazed, but still followed Gu Qingyun's instructions.
Until a piece of sweet and greasy pastry was stuffed into the mouth, the pastry melted in the mouth, and the rich milk fragrance filled the whole mouth in an instant.
"Is it tasty?"
As if shocked by the pastry, his eyes widened involuntarily, staring at Gu Qingyun in front of him, even though he knew he couldn't see this person, it seemed that as long as he looked in the other direction and widened his eyes, he could see him .
"What's that?" Ji Shubai didn't answer the other party's question of whether this food is delicious, he was simply puzzled by it.
"Mianyun cake, do you know?"
The other party shook his head.
Gu Qingyun thought for a while: "This is made of milk and rice flour, put some honey in it, and then make it into small white dumplings."
Ji Shubai just laughed, but Gu Qingyun felt that he didn't understand.
The two chatted for a while, and he planned to leave. Before leaving, Ji Shubai's originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense, with anticipation on his face: "Will you come over tomorrow?"
"If I'm not busy, I'll come over."
After getting his reply, Ji Shubai's expression eased a lot.
Gu Qingyun didn't expect this visit to last for half a month. The two of them chatted from where the food is delicious to where the food is fun, and then from poetry and songs to cultivation experience. The deeper the topic, the more he felt that he and the other party Like-minded.
It's a pity that the other party was born much later than him, otherwise they might have become a very good friend.
Observing that the other party's health seemed to be getting better and better, and when he was about to recover, Ji Shubai thought that there was no need for him to come here, so he stayed at Wuming Peak, facing piles of paperwork every day.
Until one day in the middle of the night, Lu Xian walked in in a panic, desperately shaking the small green fan in his hand, seeing this cucumber, Gu Qingyun frowned, feeling that something ominous was about to happen.
And this unknown thing is probably going to come out of his mouth, and what he said is probably about Ji Shubai.
Sure enough, when he saw Gu Qingyun, his eyes lit up, and when he entered the room, he raised his legs, waved the small green fan in the cold, and drank a big mouthful of tea: "Do you know Ji Shubai... Wait, your What kind of eyes? Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?!"
