Hearing this, Gu Nan looked up at him.

Seeing him like this, Lou Yichen shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said: "Until today, it has been exactly four years since the fall of the Wushuang Valley, and Yan Wugui, the owner of the Hidden Sword Mountain Villa, is looking for the person who destroyed the Wushuang Valley for you, and now it is known to the rivers and lakes. ”

“……”

"The owner of the Tibetan Sword Village made a move, naturally no one can escape, and now the person behind it may not be able to hide for long."

As he spoke, Lou Yichen passed the oil lamp to his left hand, and stretched out his right hand in front of Gu Nan: "There will definitely be some people coming to you today, entrusted by the deceased, Mr. Gu, I will protect you until Yan Wugui solves everything." ”

Looking down at Lou Yichen's hand, Gu Nan frowned.

Lou Yichen didn't withdraw his hand, just smiled and waited, looking very calm.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Nan raised his head and stretched out his hand in silence.

The moment the palm touched, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, the main quest [Uncover the Mystery of the Fall of the Peerless Valley] is released, and the reward points for completing the task are 10,000, and the host is refueled. 】

Hearing the system prompt, Gu Nan's eyes narrowed.

Lou Yichen withdrew his hand and said, "Mr. Gu, let's go." ”

The carriage drove slowly, and soon it was out of the range of Sanqing Valley.

Lou Yichen did not take Gu Nan to Tianlong Villa, but went to an unknown mountain.

There was a different village on the mountain, and Lou Yichen left in a hurry after settling Gu Nan.

Gu Nan put his things away, turned his head to look at the husky who was wagging his tail next to him, and reached out and touched his ears.

This mountain villa is very deserted, except for a dumb servant, only Gu Nan is left.

Gu Nan walked around the villa every day when he was idle, occasionally fiddling with the flowers and plants in the yard, and had a fairly comfortable life.

There has been no news from Yan Wugui's side, and Gu Nan is not in a hurry about it.

On the third day of coming to the valley, there was one more person in the valley, Lin Sheng.

When Gu Nan saw him, he stood in front of the garden and gestured with the dumb servant expressionlessly, seeing Gu Nan coming, Lin Sheng's eyes softened a little, and then ignored the dumb servant's gesture, and directly took out a wooden card from his arms and handed it to the dumb servant.

The dumb servant took the wooden card and looked at it carefully, then returned the wooden card to Lin Sheng, turned his head and nodded to Gu Nan and left.

The two of them were the only ones left in the garden.

Gu Nan looked at Lin Sheng's expressionless face and smiled: "Long time no see." ”

Lin Sheng didn't move, his eyes were light and light, and the depths were full of elusive etherealism.

There was silence all around, and after a long time, Gu Nan saw a touch of cyan clothes appear in front of him, he raised his head, Lin Sheng stood in front of him, stretched out his hand to brush off the fallen leaves in his hair, and hummed softly.

[Ding, the target of the strategy Lin Sheng's favorability +10, the current favorability is 55 (cherished).] 】

Lin Sheng's room was next door to Gu Nan.

At night, Gu Nan lay on the bed and looked at his warm jade pendant in a daze.

This was in the late autumn of last year, after he was picked by Yan Wugui and broke the tendons in his hands and feet, he turned over in pain at night, couldn't sleep, and vomited blood many times, Yan Wugui brought it to him with his own hands.

What kind of expression was Yan Wugui at that time Gu Nan didn't remember much clearly, and the only thing that impressed him was the red eyes.

Because it was the first time for Gu Nan, he suddenly felt distressed when facing Yan Wugui.

The daze was finally interrupted by a knock on the door, Gu Nan sat up and brought Nuan Yu back again, got out of bed and opened the door.

It's Lin Sheng.

He stood at the door, holding a wooden plate in his hand, and opened his mouth lightly: "It's time to drink medicine." ”

Gu Nan hummed and invited him in, closed the door, walked to the table, sat down, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, the taste was very bitter, Gu Nan wrinkled his nose, and still didn't touch the candied fruit next to the medicine bowl.

Lin Sheng's eyes darkened, he lowered his eyes and looked at the flickering candle flame on the table, and after a long time, he said softly: "Do you want to go back with me?" ”

Gu Nan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after reacting.

"So...... Is it because Yan has no return? ”

Gu Nan thought about it, and finally smiled and hummed.

Lin Sheng didn't speak again.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

The candle on the table slowly fell, and the tears of the candle dripped down the candle and condensed on the table.

Gu Nan took a new candle and put it on, and when he raised his eyes again, Lin Sheng had already stood up, and the candlelight shone on his face, swaying inexplicably.

"It's not early, I'll go back first."

Gu Nan agreed dumbly.

Lin Sheng turned around and walked towards the door, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, his eyes swept over the pendant around Gu Nan's neck, and said softly: "God bless jade, Gu Nan, take care." ”

Then he turned and disappeared by the door.

The wooden door was slowly closed, Gu Nan looked at the closed door, and held the warm jade with a smile.

After that, the days went on as usual.

Gu Nan walked around the villa every day, and Lin Sheng didn't say anything after him, only occasionally looking at Gu Nan's back fiddling with flowers and plants, his eyes were dark and uncertain.

He was already silent, and Gu Nan didn't feel anything abnormal about him, and continued to live without heart and lungs.

Another five days passed.

There are only two days left until the January period.

In the morning, I went to water the flowers and plants in the yard as usual, basked in the sun and read books as usual at noon, walked around and continued to water in the afternoon as usual, and in the evening Gu Nangang was ready to boil the medicine as usual, but when I arrived in the kitchen, I found that the herbs were gone.

Since accepting the short-lived setting of vomiting blood, Gu Nan cherished his body very much, and immediately went out to find the dumb servant to ask for herbs, but he searched the entire villa, and Gu Nan did not find the figure of the dumb servant.

Then Gu Nan found that it seemed that he hadn't seen Lin Sheng since this morning.

Gu Shang, who went back to the room, kept paying attention to the figures of the dumb servant and Lin Sheng, but he didn't see them until he went back to the room and lay down.

The lodge is big and the night is dark.

Gu Nan hugged the quilt and looked outside, and could vaguely see mottled tree shadows and silk cloth fluttering in the wind.

Something scary.

stayed up until midnight before Gu Nan barely fell asleep. He didn't sleep well, waking up every once in a while and then going back to sleep.

After repeating it a few times, Gu Nan didn't have the heart to sleep, so he simply sat up and looked at the window in a daze.

The result of not sleeping well is two bright dark circles under the eye sockets.

Seeing that it was lit up outside, Gu Nan got out of bed in a gloomy mood, washed his face with cold water, and felt that he was a little sober.

After taking care of himself, Gu Nan took the kettle and went out, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Sheng standing in front of the door with a sword in his hand, his eyes full of exhaustion.

“…… How long have you been standing here? Gu Nan looked at him and felt that the other party's mental state was much worse than that of himself, a person who hadn't slept all night.

Lin Sheng didn't speak, just looked at Gu Nan quietly, his eyes were still as light as usual, but in the depths of lightness, many obscure feelings swirled there, gradually turning into dark colors.

"Come with me, Gu Nan."

Come with me, Gu Nan.

Gu Nan didn't know how many times he had heard these five words.

In the past world, many people have said such things to him, and everyone's feelings revealed in their words are incomprehensible, including anger, sadness, disappointment, and expectation...... There are many, many of them, but there has never been one like Lin Sheng, which is very plain, but it can make people feel the complexity in the depths.

Gu Nan was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head as he had done countless times as usual.

Lin Sheng's eyes darkened completely, the green tendons on his hand holding the scabbard burst out, and the whole person erupted in a thick despair in an instant.

In the next second, Gu Nan's arm was tightly held by Lin Sheng, and before he could react, his eyes went dark.

At the end of his gaze, he saw Lin Sheng's eyes, which had long since disappeared, and the deep black filled them, like clouds and mist, without boundaries.

The last person I saw before he fell into a coma was Lin Sheng.

The first thing I saw after waking up was Lou Yichen.

Seeing Gu Nan wake up, Lou Yichen put down the book in his hand and smiled at Gu Nan: "Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Nan sat up and looked around: "What about Lin Sheng?" ”

Lou Yichen looked at Gu Nan, the smile in his eyes was unobstructed, and after a while, he spoke softly, but the words he said avoided Gu Nan's question: "Mr. Gu, I'll take you somewhere." ”

Gu Nan looked at him silently.

The latter smiled calmly, as if he was sure that Gu Nan would definitely follow him.

Seeing him like this, Gu Nan finally nodded: "Let's go." ”

The place where Lou Yichen took Gu Nan was a high cliff in the back mountain.

At this time, it is summer, and there are mountains and flowers everywhere, only above this high cliff, there are rocks and grasses, and it is desolate.

Gu Nan stood up, Lou Yichen stood next to him and lowered his head to look down, and smiled: "Mr. Gu, I have lived for thirty years, and the most impressive thing is this place, do you know why?" ”

Gu Nan didn't speak.

Lou Yichen didn't care about his silence, and stretched out his hand to point down: "Because four years ago, I stood here, watching a place that had been inherited for hundreds of years turn to ashes at my behest, and the fire was very big that day, and I stood here, and I could hear the fighting and screams below from such a distance." ”

"This fire burned all night, the flame was very beautiful, you may not have seen a fire like that, the colors were bright, the heat was scorching, it was very amazing. The next day, that place was gone. Lou Yichen turned around with a smile, his voice low and smiling: "I have witnessed the fall of a family, Mr. Gu." ”

The place he pointed to, Gu Nan knew, was the former Wushuang Valley.

Gu Nan looked up at Lou Yichen, who was still smiling: "Wushuang Valley went into seclusion a hundred years ago, but before returning to seclusion, every emperor of this Great Qi Dynasty came from Wushuang Valley, if it is said that it only relies on inheritance, isn't it too ridiculous?" ”

“…… Do you want to start with the Peerless Valley and meddle in the court? ”

"Who wouldn't?" Lou Yichen smiled: "In the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes all my life, I am also white, where can I compare to the glory and wealth of the court?" ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward, his eyes full of malice: "It's a pity that I destroyed the Wushuang Valley before and failed to get the treasures of the Wushuang clan, but fortunately, now, I found you again." ”

"You don't have a choice, Mr. Gu."
