Chapter 073: A Night of Cold Wind
Chu Boyu didn't respond immediately, but picked up a branch and threw it at the fire, and a flame suddenly rushed up, burning his cold wrist, "Life and death, although I can't guess what the purpose of your invitation was, but your courage is indeed admirable. ”
Chu Boyu paused for a moment, looked at Wen Ru and said, "A cautious and cautious person like Wen Gongzi will definitely not do anything to set himself on fire, and you must also have great hardships to take such a risk." ”
"Original...... Brother Chu, you have already seen it. Yue Suifeng's hands trembled slightly, and a few pieces of crumbs fell from the shortbread.
Chu Boyu glanced at Yue Suifeng and smiled lightly.
"That's right, I asked Xiaochuan to arrange the invitation at that time, if you encounter something dangerous on the next way, Master Chu, you can see the opportunity to act, don't pay attention to us." Wen Ru was calm and calm, and his tone was calm, "If Gongzi Chu wants to know the truth, when I get to Linzi City, I will never hide half a point, but at this time, I still hope that Gongzi Chu will forgive me, I can't say it for the time being, and I came for the sake of your safety." ”
"I understand, many things are really difficult to explain for a while, it's just that, if these words continue to be said, it seems that we are exposing each other's shortcomings, even if we meet in Pingshui, it is fate, I hope we are all safe along the way." Chu Boyu patted the ashes on his hands, with a slight reluctant smile, if it was dangerous, what made him even more uneasy was the unsolved mystery of Gongsun Ling's life experience, which could lead to unpredictable disasters at any time.
"Gongzi Chu is sensible and gentlemanly, you might as well seriously consider my previous proposal, nowadays, my house is really in urgent need of talents, especially like Gongzi Chu." Wen Ru paused, then turned to Guiyun again, "There are also strange people like Guiyun. ”
Guiyun was too silent, often ignored, and when he saw Wen Ru looking at him, he just gave him a look back, and did not react otherwise, as if he had not listened to the conversation between the three of them at all.
Wen Ru was not embarrassed by Guiyun's indifference, he just nodded slightly, and then put the focus back on Chu Boyu.
"When I get to Linzi City, I will reply to Gongzi Wen." Chu Boyu looked at the sky, and his mind was full of his wife's voice and smile.
Wen Ru glanced at Yue Suifeng, and then shook his head again, "Okay, I won't mention this matter again, just wait for Gongzi Chu's reply." ”
"Okay." Chu Boyu turned his head and looked at Yue Suifeng, his face was a little ugly and hesitant, "Suifeng, I have caused you trouble in the past few days, because I not only saw Linlang's appearance on you, but in addition, you and Yuechuan ...... It's all just wishful thinking on my part, so don't bother with that. ”
Yue Suifeng and Wen Ru were stunned, and after the two looked at each other, Yue Suifeng said, "Brother Chu, how do you say this?" ”
There was silence for a short while.
Chu Boyu said: "I told a lie just now, in fact, no one in the Chu family survived that fire. Maybe God let me meet you, so that I can recognize this fact more truly and stop deceiving myself. ”
Yue Suifeng frowned, nodded and said, "Brother Chu, although I may not be able to fully understand your hardships for a while, but regarding this matter, I will never slack off if I have a place to get my junior brother in the future." ”
Wen Ru also sighed: "Chu Gongzi is very affectionate, it is rare in the world, and if there is a need in the future, this favor will also be counted as my share." ”
Chu Boyu smiled faintly and arched his hand: "Thank you two." ”
The conversation between the three men is shallow and profound, but when the words come to their mouths, they all have their own secrets, and they have made some speculations in their hearts about things that they don't know.
The fire was bright and yellow, flickering in the night wind, just like the hearts of these three people at this time, and everyone had unspeakable secrets in their hearts. Only Guiyun, still sitting calmly, guarding the people in the green tent, seems to have only one wish for him.
The deeper the night, the brighter the moonlight in the sky, and the cooler the wind blows.
After Yue Suifeng and Wen Ru had eaten and drunk enough, the two returned to the carriage and took out the blankets, squeezed into the carriage to rest.
When Chu Boyu moved his gaze back from the two of them, he glanced at the green tent, and could clearly hear the slight snoring sound of Qingfeng in his ears, and Guiyun, who had been sitting upright, had a very obvious tiredness on his face, "Guiyun, you are obviously very tired, why don't you go to rest?" ”
Guiyun glanced at Chu Boyu, "Don't be sleepy." ”
"Go and rest." Chu Boyu moved his position and sat next to Guiyun, "I know you're worried about Xiao Ling, don't worry, I'll guard it for you, the days ahead are still very long, you can't guard her like this, if you are tired one day, how can you protect her." ”
Guiyun blinked, shook his head, and still held on, "I'm not tired." ”
Chu Boyu shook his head and sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade Guiyun no matter how much he persuaded him, so he didn't speak again.
The surroundings were very quiet, and his ears were full of the sound of the wind whistling on the plain, Chu Boyu couldn't help but glance in the direction of the carriage again, his cold body seemed to be gradually losing its senses in the cold wind, giving him the illusion of floating in the air.
From midnight to midnight, both the people in the green tent and the people in the carriage seemed to be asleep. Chu Boyu kept looking at the burning branches in a daze, and his thoughts were inextricably linked, but he was in a trance.
It wasn't until Guiyun suddenly got up that he saw him turn around and get into the green tent behind him, at this time Chu Boyu was startled, and he quickly followed Guiyun after relieving himself.
When Chu Boyu came to the green tent, he saw that Gongsun Ling had already sat up, and was holding Guiyun and sobbing for a while, he paused for a moment before asking, "What's wrong Xiao Ling?" Is it a nightmare? ”
Gongsun Ling wiped his tears, let go of Guiyun with some reluctance, nodded and choked up: "I thought Brother Guiyun was gone, just now in a dream, someone took him away, and ...... And ......"
Gongsun Ling didn't finish his words, Chu Boyu roughly guessed one or two, but Guiyun, who was the party concerned, just knelt on the side in a daze, looking at the crying person a little helplessly.
Chu Boyu smiled: "It's just a dream, and it's okay when you wake up." ”
A gust of cold wind hit the green tent, and the chill swept in, and Gongsun Ling, who had just woken up from the nightmare, shivered all over his body and sneezed. At the moment, she didn't feel sleepy at all, and when she saw the flickering fire outside through the green tent, she simply climbed out of the green tent and sat around the fire with Guiyun and Chu Boyu.
Seeing the two sitting side by side in tacit understanding, Chu Boyu smiled slightly, didn't say anything, picked up a few branches and added them to the fire.
The tears on Gongsun Ling's face were dried by the wind after a while, and she couldn't stand the cold wind for a while, so she rubbed her hands and moved closer to Guiyun.
When Guiyun found that the people around him were leaning towards him, he frowned, and his body was slightly sideways to her.
Gongsun Ling looked at the jumping firelight, still immersed in the nightmare just now, his sadness was not reduced, and he did not speak. After being quiet for a long time, she spoke: "Brother Boyu, what should I do?" I'm getting scared now, what the hell am I going to do to remember what happened before? ”
Chu Boyu was dumbfounded, smiled, was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Don't worry, if it was really as your friend said, it was the heavens who did it at that time, then at that time, if something terrible happened, they would not be able to ignore it." So until then, you don't have to think about anything, just take care of yourself. ”
"yes, I see." Gongsun Zero nodded, frowned, sighed, and sneezed again.
Seeing her trembling, Chu Boyu got up and walked to his mount, and took out a cloak from the package on horseback, which had been specially ordered for him by Qingfeng in Wu County. The cloak was taken, and Chu Boyu surrounded it around Guiyun and Gongsun Ling.
"Brother Boyu, I can go back to the green tent to rest, and you can use the cloak." Gongsun Ling wanted to pull down his cloak and was stopped by Chu Boyu.
"It's okay, I'm afraid the last thing my body is afraid of the cold." Chu Boyu patted her hand, then returned to his original position and sat down, and said with a smile, "Guiyun has been worried about you and refuses to rest, so you can sit with him for a while." ”
After Gongsun Ling heard this, he raised his head and looked at the people beside him, obviously tired, but he gave her an indifferent look, "Brother Guiyun, you hurry up and rest, if you continue like this, you will be tired." ”
Guiyun shook his head, "It's not going to be bad, I don't want to sleep." ”
"But how can you do it without sleeping?" Gongsun Ling wrapped her cloak and found that the half around Guiyun's body had slipped down, so she quickly reached out to help him wrap it up, but her hand was too short to reach Guiyun's shoulder.
"I'm not cold." Guiyun simply removed the cloak on his body and wrapped it all around Gongsun Ling's body.
Guiyun's actions were very resolute not to let Gongsun Ling put the cloak on his body again, and after Gongsun Ling tried several times, Chu Boyu also persuaded her not to be persistent anymore, after all, Guiyun's temperament has always been so straightforward.
Gongsun Ling had no choice but to stop reluctantly, wrapped in a cloak alone, his face was full of guilt, he lowered his head, and became silent again. The silence, the sound of the wind, and the warmth of the firelight and cloak, it didn't take long for fatigue to creep up on her body again, and after a while, she fell asleep in Guiyun's arms.
Chu Boyu looked at Guiyun, only to see him looking at the person in his arms in a daze, his eyelids blinked a few times, and he was sleepy, obviously he couldn't bear it anymore.
Chu Boxi didn't bother them, but added branches to the fire from time to time. It didn't take long for Chu Boyu to find that Guiyun had fallen asleep with his eyes open, but his body was still sitting upright without moving!
