Chapter 257
The room that Canghu and Gu Lin entered was very peculiar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared to the overall style of the mansion, this room can be said to be too low-key and unpretentious, with no decorative objects or elaborate furniture, only a set of simple tables and chairs diagonally facing the doorway, and shelves that almost cover the entire room.
The shelves are not all placed against the wall, but are arranged in a staggered manner throughout the room, dividing the wide space into many impenetrable partitions, as if this place is separated from the whole mansion, as if it were a single house. The shelves were full of things, and at first glance they seemed to be bookshelves full of trees, but a closer look reveals that this is not the case, and those shelves are closer to shelves than bookshelves, and there are many things scattered on them, large and small, some of which can be seen everywhere, and some of which are strangely shaped and cannot be named.
There were no windows or electric lights in the room, except for an oil lamp in the corner of the large table that looked like a workbench, which seemed to be bronze and ancient, only the size of a palm, and contained a shallow transparent liquid in the oil pot, which was so ordinary that it illuminated the whole room as bright as day.
For this room that can almost be said to be incompatible with the entire mansion, Canghu did not show the slightest surprise, obviously it was not the first time she had come here, looking at Gu Lin who went straight to the shelf next to the workbench after coming in, Canghu smiled gently.
"There are more shelves, have you made some more things out, or have you added a collection?"
"Both." Saying that, Gu Lin had found something from the shelf, so he took it down and walked back to Canghu, opened the palm-sized oval box to her, and a soft smile appeared on his face, "What do you think?" ”
There is a pair of thin-rimmed glasses lying quietly in the box, which looks very similar to the one that the fox broke down, but the shape is slightly different, and the color is also very strange, at first glance it looks like a white like ice, and then it feels like a bright red like a flame, the two colors are completely different, and the feeling is completely opposite, but it is incredible that it appears on the same thing, and if you look closely, you can even see that these two colors seem to be slowly rotating, one and the other.
After just one glance, Canghu couldn't help but be stunned: "You added 'limestone'?" ”
Gu Lin nodded, very pleased: "It's not much, it's only a small piece, I tried several times and finally melted it completely, so that this 'magic mirror' will be much less burdensome to you." ”
Canghu frowned: "Where did you get the 'Stone'?" ”
"I have my own means, so don't worry. Come on, put it on and try it, and if it doesn't fit, I'll adjust it for you. ”
"Yes...... It's too precious......"
Gu Lin immediately straightened his face: "I said it back then, I just asked how you are outside, but you must accept all the items I give you." Are you trying to break the contract? ”
"No, I'm just ......" Canghu knew that Gu Lin was pretending to be angry, but the wisp of seriousness in those vicissitudes of life was not a lie, so she couldn't finish her words in the end, so she had to sigh lightly and change her words, "Okay, I'll try." ”
As he spoke, he took off the antique spare glasses with one hand, and Canghu stretched out his other hand and gently picked up the pair of "glasses" that were not ordinary, and unfolded them with one hand and put them on.
"Well, it feels a little more comfortable than before......
Before she finished speaking, Canghu felt that Gu Lin's gaze suddenly became sharp, she suddenly realized something, and while her voice stopped, she quickly turned her gaze to look at her glasses-wearing hand, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in her heart.
Ever since she saw Gu Lin, Canghu had intentionally or unintentionally hidden her left hand in front of him, trying not to raise her left hand as much as possible, but at this moment, because she was shocked by the unexpected "glasses" material, she actually forgot about this stubble, and directly raised her left hand and put on glasses.
When he realized that something was wrong, Canghu wanted to put down his arm immediately, but Gu Lin reached out faster than her and grabbed her wrist tightly.
"What's going on?"
"This ...... Nothing ......."
Canghu tried hard to retract his hand, but was firmly caught by Gu Lin even harder, his strength was so strong that he didn't look like an old man who was over the age of six, his eyes stared at her without blinking, and he gritted his teeth and made a sound dyed with a little anger.
"'Nothing'? Am I really old and dizzy? What the hell is going on with you?! ”
Canghu shrunk her shoulders and wanted to say something, but Gu Lin didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and her voice couldn't help but rise a little higher because of anger.
"How long are you going to toss yourself?!"
Feeling that the two familiar breaths outside suddenly sharpened, and quickly approached, obviously the magic circle in the room failed to block the sound behind it, Canghu didn't even have time to open his mouth to Gu Lin, and quickly turned his head to the outside and said loudly, "It's okay, don't worry", and then felt that although the breath outside was still sharp, it was not close to this side after all, so she smiled bitterly and looked at Gu Lin who was angry in front of her.
"Don't you think I'm alive and well? Don't be angry......"
"'Live well'?" Gu Lin glared at her fiercely, "Then you tell me what's going on?" ”
As he spoke, he slammed the fox's wrist to the side of his neck, and the loose sleeves of his shirt immediately slid down the arm that was straightened diagonally, just exposing the fox's forearm and revealing the bandage that leached a little blood.
"Why did this wound start bleeding again, you say?"
"I ......"
Canghu was speechless for a while, and his eyes wandered unconsciously, seeing this, Gu Lin didn't understand, and the wrinkles on his face were so angry that there were a few more.
"Do you have to keep tossing yourself like this? Isn't 'death' funny?! ”
"Shh——!h
Canghu hurriedly raised her right hand to block in front of Gu Lin, her expression was also flustered for a moment, she quickly sensed the outside of the door, and saw that although the two breaths outside were still sharp, they were not close, she looked at Gu Lin with a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"I don't think 'death' is funny, it's the end of all life. But...... What if you are on a path that has no end, will not even move forward or go back? ”
As she spoke, she looked at her bandaged left arm, as if she could see the transparent sword wound inside, and the smile on the corner of her lips gradually faded.
"Kobayashi, do you think this will be better than reaching the end??"
Obviously facing an old man who is dozens of years older than herself, she seems to be calling for a peer, even a person who is a little younger than herself.
Gu Lin's breathing stagnated slightly, and his momentum eased a little, I don't know if it was because of Canghu's question, or because of that title, but his expression was still the same stern.
"As long as you live, I feel good enough."
Looking up at the face that was not much more vicissitudes than in the past, and the pair of eyes that were still as firm even after the wind and frost, Canghu's expression was a little shaken for a moment, but she immediately lowered her eyes, covering the glimmer of light in her eyes.
“…… Why bother? You've wasted so many years......"
"You don't have to be persuaded again and again. Since your decision cannot be shaken, then don't think about changing my mind, anyway, you also know my character, and the things that are decided by the words have never changed. ”
Even if he didn't look up, he knew that the eyes at this moment must be shining with firmness, and Canghu slowly pursed his lips, as if he couldn't bear to close his eyes.
Why bother. (To be continued.) )
