The Reborn Concubine Returns

Chapter 173: The Devil

Chongjin was the first person to see that Gu Li's expression was not right. Although Chongjin would always tease Gu Li deliberately in order to see Gu Li's angry and cute expression on weekdays, but when he really saw Gu Li's pale face, he always had Looking at the unmelting ice and snow, the eyes like the snow lotus on the snowy mountain have lost the calmness and gentleness of the past, and are full of forbearance and panic.Chong Jin's heart tightened, he stopped bickering with Gu Qingping, silently moved towards the pale-faced Gu Li, and calmly held Gu Li's trembling hand hidden under his loose sleeve.He was so patient that he opened Gu Li's fingers that were unconsciously clenched into fists one by one. After wiping off the cold sweat, he interlocked his dry and warm hands with Gu Li's cold fingers, and held them tightly. .

Gu Li's previously trembling, uncontrollably clenched hands were opened little by little and put into a warm and dry palm, feeling the warmth continuously coming from the palm of his hand, and the tightly clenched hands, Gu Li's restless heart also slowly calmed down. He looked up at Chong Jin, only to find that Chong Jin still had that arrogant smile on his face that made one want to punch him.But for some reason, today's Gu Li felt that this kind of Chongjin was particularly pleasing to the eye, so he sneaked a glance at Chongjin, and then hurriedly looked away before Chongjin noticed, staring at the point that appeared outside the carriage. Look at the colorful peach forest.The corners of his mouth raised slightly, but his honesty betrayed Gu Li's good mood at the moment.

After about half a quarter, the carriage finally stopped outside the Peach Blossom Forest.Gu Li looked at this peach blossom grove that he missed every year, and dared not set foot every year. It was strange yet familiar, like a painting that had been deliberately hidden and unfolded again.Gu Li was surprised that, for some reason, after he arrived in this Taolin, instead of the previous nervous torture, like putting a heart in a frying pan, there was an indescribable relief in his heart. .Maybe it's a cowardly mistake for my so-called not disturbing in the past ten years.

Bai Qingran did not have Gu Li's emotion and hesitation. When Bai Fusheng left, he was just a baby in swaddling arms. Even if he was a child prodigy, he couldn't remember Bai Fusheng's appearance, let alone What impression can I have of this peach forest that has only been in the arms of others a few times.

It's just amazing that Bai Qingran already had an inexplicable sense of familiarity and belonging as soon as he came outside the Taolin, even stronger than the feeling he had when he returned to Qingyuan from the capital city. .

All Bai Qingran's memories about Bai Fusheng are what Gu Li said to him in words. Although it was shocking, but before arriving in this peach forest, Bai Qingran's feelings were not as strong as Gu Li's hesitation. In comparison, what Bai Qingran had more was the expectation for his father whom he had never met, and the strong yearning for this resting place of his father.

Before Gu Li and the others could react, Bai Qingran had already headed towards the depths of the peach forest. Gu Li hurriedly caught up with Bai Qingran who was walking ahead. Years ago, in order to prevent others from interrupting rashly, Gu Li had already sent people to set up a square of hidden weapons on the outer layer of the peach forest. A cold arrow placed on a tree.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Gu Li, the group of people finally bypassed those dark traps and walked to the small wooden house deep in the peach forest.

Gu Li looked at the small wooden house that overlapped infinitely with his memory, and he felt as if he was a world away, as if he opened the door and went in, he could still see Bai Qingran, who was still a baby in the wooden house, smiling. I have to tell him, Changan is back?

It's just the wooden house that has been ruthlessly eroded by the years, the broken roof, and the dilapidated wooden door.But Gu Li had to accept that the past time was finally over, and he would never return to the carefree childhood in Bai Fusheng's arms.

It's just that he has been safe in Bai Fusheng's arms for a few years. He has seen Bai Fusheng's young and handsome appearance, as gentle as a jade boy, and he has seen Bai Fusheng's appearance as a loving father dressed in white with gentle brows and eyes. He had to be hugged and comforted in his arms, passed through the clothes that Bai Fusheng personally sewed for him, and witnessed Bai Fusheng's peaceful departure with his own eyes.But Bai Qingran was less than one year old and had never seen his father again. Compared to him, Bai Qingran seemed to be much more pitiful.

Because of the guilt towards Bai Qingran, Gu Li favored Bai Qingran since he was a child.As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, Gu Li really regarded himself as Bai Fusheng, and after so many years of hiding Bai Qingran under his wings, except for the unstable factor of Gu Qingping, Bai Qingran has not yet He has suffered any kind of grievance under Gu Li's nose.

Speaking of Bai Qingran and Gu Qingping, Gu Li just remembered that Bai Qingran hadn't said a word since he entered the depths of the forest just now, and it was only now that he realized his negligence.Gu Li just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Qingran first.

"Brother, is this the house where my father lived in?"

Gu Li looked at Bai Qingran, but found that Bai Qingran was only staring in the direction of the cabin, not looking in his direction.Gu Li paused, nodded and said yes.

After receiving Gu Li's reply, Bai Qingran walked towards the wooden house. The fallen leaves on the ground creaked as they were trampled on. The door of the wooden house had long been hanging from the door frame, so it couldn't serve as a shelter from the wind and rain. up.Gu Qingping was afraid of hitting Bai Qingran, so he took the first step to open the door, but in fact, it was more like holding the wooden door to prevent it from falling.Waiting for Gu Qingping to move the wooden door aside quickly, Bai Qingran and the others had already entered the room.

Because there was a lot of dust accumulated on the wooden door, it was a big movement to move casually, Bai Qingran frowned slightly, covered her mouth and nose with her wide sleeve, and used her other hand to cover Gu Qingping who had rushed over. snout.

The furnishings in the wooden house are also like the crumbling wooden door, covered with several layers of thick dust, people don't even want to touch it.

But this dust still can't cover the traces of Bai's father who was here in the past. The clean and tidy bed, a stack of slightly larger quilts, and a slightly smaller quilt obediently nestled next to the big quilt, Gu Li saw that in a blink of an eye Two piles of cotton quilts, almost uncontrollable tears rushing out of the eye sockets that have been dry for more than ten years. The time spent with Father Bai in this small wooden house in those years seems to have to be scrubbed again Clean, it was pushed straight in front of his eyes, so that he couldn't help but think about it.
