Chapter 7: The End of the Mountain (19)

After a long day of driving, Bai Yutong finally came to a bustling town along the Han River.

As long as he passed this town, Bai Yutong would be able to return to Hanjiao, which made him feel much happier. At this time, he realized that Hanjiao had unconsciously become a home-like existence in his heart.

It's really strange that Bai Yutong doesn't even have a property in that place called Hanjiao, and even owes a lot of debt, but why does he still subconsciously think that this is his home?

Bai Yutong couldn't figure it out, he shook his head, and decided that he didn't want to think about these things anymore, why did he think so much?

At this time, it was a sunny and good day, and Bai Yutong noticed that there were a bunch of people in front of him, as if they were rushing to buy discounted goods.

"Take a look, take a look! Those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field!" a magnetic shout attracted his attention.

Bai Yutong squeezed into the crowd and saw a white-bearded old man lying shirtless on a wooden plank, with a gray stone the size of a door panel placed on his chest, and his face looked very grim.

At this moment, a man with a hammer strode towards the old man, like a fierce and vicious door god.

"Master, are you ready?" the man spat two handfuls of saliva into his palm, and then frustrated his hand, looking ready to attack.

The old man pretended to fiddle with his arm for a few movements, looking confident, "It's okay, come on!"

"All right!" the man raised the hammer the size of a barrel above his head, and then slammed it into the boulder on the old man's chest.

With a thud, the boulder shattered into several pieces and slid from the old man's chest to the open ground, and the master stood up and joined the man in a line, and then thanked the man with him.

The crowd of onlookers was applauding and applauding loudly, and at this time, a young man wearing a white scarf walked up to Bai Yutong with a black porcelain bowl containing dozens of crumpled banknotes, and shook the bowl in his hand.

Bai Yutong glanced at the young man blankly, and then asked suspiciously, "Is this money for me?"

The crowd around him erupted in laughter.

"Is this man a fool?"

"I don't know, my brain is broken, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, people are carrying bows and arrows! I guess they're here to smash the field......"

Bai Yutong finally understood that the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, was here to collect money, not to engage in charity.

Reluctantly, he took out the last five dollars in his pocket, and put them in the bowl, and the young man said thank you.

Of the more than 100 onlookers, only about twenty or thirty people gave money, and Bai Yutong was really inexplicable and the money was gone.

Bai Yutong turned around and left helplessly, he had to go back quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up for lunch, as long as it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, the chef and aunt in the college cafeteria would finish their shifts.

Just as he turned to leave, a person grabbed his shoulder with his hand, "Little brother, don't be busy leaving, let's watch it for a while......?

Two days later, Hanjiao Senior Source Academy.

"Yanrou, where have you been all these days......" Bai Siqi hugged the haggard beauty in front of her, and hot tears poured out of her eyes.

Gu Yanrou's whole body fell into Bai Siqi's arms, her eyes glazed, "Siqi, I'm sorry for worrying you......"

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Bai Siqi hugged Gu Yanrou's delicate body tightly and cried.

At this time, the woman next to them said with relief, "I'm really happy to see you reunited, since the person has been delivered, then we will say goodbye first, and we will meet again!" After speaking, she pulled the girl next to her and turned around and left the gate of the academy.

"Who are they?" Bai Siqi asked suspiciously, looking at the women in the distance.

"Benefactor. Gu Yanrou said softly.

"Ah, then wait for me to call them back!" Bai Siqi said anxiously, Gu Yanrou's benefactor is her Bai Siqi's benefactor, how can she let her benefactor leave like this?

"No need, they still have something to do, is Bai Yutong back?" Gu Yanrou looked at Bai Siqi expectantly.

"We haven't heard from him yet...... Bai Siqi said dejectedly, "it's all my ......"

Gu Yanrou was obviously taken aback after hearing that Bai Yutong had not returned, "How could it be...... He should have arrived at the academy before me?"

"Hmm, what's going on?" Bai Siqi had a hunch.

Gu Yanrou said eloquently, "It's the cicada flower that will ......"

Qiyao Advanced Source College Infirmary.

"Oh my God!" Bai Siqi covered her mouth in surprise, tears wetting her face, "How can this be...... Your hand...... Can you still hold a sword......

"I don't know......" Gu Yanrou, who was lying on the bed, stared blankly at the terrifying scar on her wrist, and a pile of white gauze that had been dismantled was scattered in front of her.

"I'm sorry......" Bai Siqi's language at the moment was pale and weak, "Yanrou...... I didn't think it would be like this......"

"No, don't think like that, if you want to blame me, it's not strong enough, if only I could be stronger......" Gu Yanrou's fingers moved slightly closer to the palm of his hand, as if he was clenching his fist, "By the way, where is Bai Yutong?"

"No, we haven't heard from him yet. Bai Siqi suppressed her tears, and then shook her head.

"Really...... He should have returned to Hanjiao a day before me...... He also said he was going to pick me up......" Gu Yanrou muttered, a rare worry on her pretty face.

"What about Teacher Xiaolan?" Gu Yanrou said suddenly.

"Teacher Xiaolan should be in a meeting, right?The academy has been busy and crazy for you and Bai Yutong these days......" Bai Siqi held Gu Yanrou's hand, as if expressing everyone's concern for her.

"Then can you help me find Teacher Xiaolan to come over?" Gu Yanrou looked up at the ceiling with the chandelier hanging in a daze, "Remember not to alarm the others first......

"Why?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say ......"

"Oh good, I'll go now!" Bai Siqi ran out of the infirmary with a puzzled expression, and the room fell silent after she left.

Gu Yanrou turned her head to look out the window, I hope you're okay, Bai Yutong......

Ten minutes later.

"Is she in the ward?" Zhang Ruonan walked briskly in the empty corridor on her flat shoes, and her white coat was blown up by the wind because she walked too fast.

"Well, yes!" Bai Siqi, who walked behind her, had a look of resignation on his face.

After turning the corner of the stairs, Zhang Ruonan pushed open the door of the ward area of the infirmary, "Yanrou!"

There was only one quiet girl lying in the empty ward, and she was looking out the window in a daze.

"Teacher Xiaolan......" Gu Yanrou looked back at the dusty woman, so excited that she couldn't speak.

"You're finally back!" Zhang Ruonan hugged Gu Yanrou into her arms, she looked at the bandages all over the bed and the scars on Gu Yanrou's wrists, "I haven't suffered a lot in the past few days......

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lan...... You're worried......" Gu Yanrou looked at Bai Siqi, "Siqi, I have something to say to Teacher Xiaolan alone, can you go out first?"

"Well, no problem. Bai Siqi didn't say anything, just pulled the door and walked out.

"What do you want to tell me?" asked Zhang Ruonan as if he had already anticipated.

"You have a way to heal my injuries, right?" Gu Yanrou looked at Zhang Ruonan expectantly, her eyes full of reverence.

Zhang Ruonan sighed, "Did Bai Yutong tell you......"

Gu Yanrou hesitated for a moment and then replied softly, "Well, yes......"

"Then he left, he should be to save you, right?" Zhang Ruonan stared at Gu Yanrou's clear eyes.

"Hmm......" Gu Yanrou nodded her head lightly.

"I can indeed heal your wounds,......" Zhang Ruonan stood up and strolled to the windowsill, "But you have to tell me everything that happened, okay......"

Gu Yanrou lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head to look at the beautiful figure, "Okay." ”

3 p.m.

"Yanrou!" Gu Qichen grabbed the girl's hand and looked moved, "My good daughter, how did you come back?"

"It's a long story......," Gu Yanrou explained.

Gu Qichen interrupted Gu Yanrou, and said with a sad face, "Don't say anything long, baby daughter, I'm worried about you these days......"

Gu Yanrou hugged Gu Qichen, "Dad, I've missed my mother so much these days......"

Gu Qichen was stunned for a moment, "It's okay, it's good to come back, Dad will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you tonight, and have a good meal, you see how thin you have been in the past few days......"

"I want to eat meat. ”

"Okay! You can eat whatever you want......

There were a lot of people crowded in the narrow ward, Zhang Ruonan clasped his hands in front of his chest, quietly looking at the father and daughter who were asking for warmth, Shang Fei stood in the corner, with a faint smile on his face, and Tong Du was full of tears, he successfully interpreted what it means to cry a macho man; and there were several teachers standing in the room.

Next, several inspectors who came specially inquired about Gu Yanrou's situation in detail about the Cicada Blossom Club, hoping to help solve the case.

"May I ask Miss Gu, where did you encounter the gangsters?"

"On the square of Luming Town. ”

"What about time?"

"Eight o'clock in the evening. ”

......

Finally, when the questioning lasted for fifty minutes, Gu Qichen refused the chatter of several inspectors on the grounds that Gu Yanrou was not feeling well.

"Dad, I'm tired, let's sleep for a while......" Gu Yanrou lay on the hospital bed weakly.

"Okay, okay, Dad is here with you, don't go anywhere, okay?" Gu Qichen said softly, as if coaxing the child.

"Hmm. Gu Yanrou closed her tired eyes.

Gu Qichen looked at Gu Yanrou dotingly, with a gentle face.

"Headmaster, it's none of our business, so we'll go first. The teachers left in accord.

Shang Fei and Tong Du also followed out of the room.

"Then Principal Gu, I'm also leaving. Zhang Ruonan put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, and after getting Gu Qichen's permission, she left without looking back.

The room was so quiet that there was only the sound of breathing and Gu Qichen's kind gaze, Yanrou, I won't let you leave me like my mother......
