Volume 1 Dongchang Yan (Sweet Pet) Chapter 21 Fear of pain
After returning to the Dongchang base camp from the school field, it was already afternoon after having lunch with the overseer, Qianhu and the blockers.
The Overseer felt sorry for his apprentice and sent her back to the house to rest. Drinking medicine, taking a bath and changing clothes, it's night again.
Gu Yunxi entered the school field for the first time, and in the face of the momentum of thousands of troops, it was tiring to look at it with her eyes, not to mention that she not only stood all morning today, but also learned archery for a while.
When she first came back, she didn't feel anything uncomfortable about her. It wasn't until I took a bath in the afternoon that every bone in my body was lifelessly sore, especially the two arms, which couldn't stop shaking between lifts and falls, and I could barely hold up the teacup.
I inadvertently looked at it with my hands open, and I was startled.
At some point, large and small blisters formed on the palm of his left hand and five fingers, and through the raised white skin, a few of them could still be seen oozing red blood.
The condition of the right hand is slightly better, there is no blistering, but because of blindly holding the string, there is a clear purple mark on the index finger, although it is bruised, it is not completely broken.
These scars were all sharpened during the morning practice of archery and strong bow drawing. Gu Yunxi's skin is so smooth and silky, and any slight damage will immediately appear.
She didn't care much about it, and although it hurt, it didn't get to the point where she couldn't bear it at all. If you want to do a good job, it is indeed not as simple as just talking about it, in addition to your own efforts, you always have to pay some price. Now this little pain is already a very small effort.
The moment she thought of the Overseer Leng Qingtang, the pain on Gu Yunxi's body seemed to have been alleviated a lot, and she gradually understood that the Overseer had made many outrageous moves in front of Gonggong Ming today, all of which were defending her.
In the past, he always had a handsome white face, and his expression was as cold as his surname, like an old-fashioned old fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, which really made her fearful.
After entering the East Factory, she found out that he was a very laughing person.
The way the Overseer smiled was not like an ordinary person grinning or laughing, but the corners of his lips were lightly hooked, and a very light and elegant smile was silently released, giving people a very warm and down-to-earth feeling.
Outside, there was the sound of "tuk tuk" knocking on the door.
"Girl, have you slept?"
It's the Overseer!
Gu Yunxi hurriedly put on the coat of Fan Wei and went to open the door.
Every time she moved, she felt like she was falling apart, and she slowly rubbed to the door and opened it.
"Overseer, you're still not resting?"
"I just finished my business and came to see you."
Leng Qingtang changed into a pale green robe, and on his right hand was a small roll of fine linen and a small bottle with a long neck of mutton fat and white jade, the mouth of which was sealed tightly by a wooden cork wrapped in red cloth.
"You can sit down too."
Leng Qingtang sat down and tilted his head towards the chair next to him. Gu Yunxi obediently sat beside him.
"Reach out!"
"Do what?"
Gu Yunxi's face was embarrassed. The pile of bubbles on her hands was too ugly, and she really didn't want the gentle and considerate Lord Jun Du to see it.
Leng Qingtang only felt funny, his eyelashes as long as wings blinked, and he looked at her softly, and his voice was full of irresistible magnetism:
"Bring it quickly, obedient."
"Oh......" In a panicked look, she honestly handed out her left hand.
He grabbed the little porcelain-white hand and put it under the candlestick to look at it carefully, frowning.
"Sure enough, it was more serious than I thought. You're so honest, you don't know how to ask someone to get some medicine when your hands are ground like this. β
After he finished speaking distressedly, his eyelashes moved, glanced at Gu Yunxi, and took off the silver needle inserted in the numb roll.
"Overseer, you ...... What are you going to do? β
Gu Yunxi's facial features suddenly twisted slightly, and his bright eyes stared at the thin and shiny needles on the silver needle.
"Naturally, the blisters on your hands are punctured and left unattended, and they will become thick calluses after a long time."
Leng Qingtang held a silver needle in his hand and burned the needle on the flame of the candle repeatedly.
Gu Yunxi asked curiously:
"Overseer, how do you know I've got blisters on my hands?"
"Anyone who has learned to ride and shoot knows it."
Gu Yunxi dragged half of her cheek with her right hand, propped her elbow on the table, watched Leng Qingtang bring the candlestick closer, and then shook her injured left hand and used a needle to pick out the blisters on it one by one.
There are no uncomfortable feelings.
Under the candlelight, Leng Qingtang lowered his eyes, and his long and thick eyelashes blocked the brilliance in his eyes. His facial features were already handsome and flawless, and now he looks even better when he does things quietly, which always makes people can't help but look at him a few more times, and then his heart trembles slightly.
Suddenly, Gu Yunxi realized that the room was surprisingly quiet, which made people feel somewhat uncomfortable, so she began to find various topics for small talk.
"Overseer, at what age did you start practicing martial arts?"
"Six." He replied without raising his head, and went on with the business at hand.
"Who is your master?"
"Former Overseer of the East Factory."
"What's his name?"
"Bian Moqi."
"So where is he now? Our East Factory is also like the palace, is there a saying that it will be released when it is old? β
Leng Qingtang didn't answer again, and the expression on Jun's face fluctuated. Long eyelashes blinked, and the fingertips pressed hard.
"Oops! It hurtsβ"
Gu Yunxi felt an unusually sharp pain coming from the palm of his left hand, and couldn't help but scream, and subconsciously retracted his hand.
Leng Qingtang held it and said in a deep voice: "Don't move!" Blood is squeezing out! β
"It hurts! Overseer, can you tap ......" Gu Yunxi pouted, and his eyes were red with grievance.
Hurt? Leng Qingtang was surprised, and raised his eyes to look at her sad and aggrieved little face: "I don't know, you are so afraid of pain."
As if thinking of something particularly interesting, Leng Qingtang narrowed his eyes, and his smile was a little sly.
"Originally! I'm not afraid of anything but pain. β
Gu Yunxi smiled stupidly, watching the Overseer apply medicinal powder to her hand and wrap it in soft linen strips, but he didn't pay any attention to his other evil smile.
Secretly raised his eyes to look at Gu Yunxi, and saw that her shallow apricot eyes were drooping, and her watery eyes were bright and clear against the flickering candle flame.
With a light cough, he let go of Gu Yunxi's left hand and said:
"That's it, give me that one!"
Gu Yunxi adjusted her head and stretched out her right hand, which was hot from half of her cheeks, towards him.
"Yo, I almost got cut by the strings......"
When he saw the eye-catching bruises on his fingers, Leng Qingtang's expression was solemn, and he complained in a deep voice:
"Aren't you screaming for fear of pain? It doesn't hurt after a day?! β
"Hehe...... Gu Yunxi knew that he was kind enough to cherish his apprentice, and smirked:
"At that time, so many people on the school field watched me shoot arrows and were still applauding me, and I forgot everything when I was happy......"
"You just got better and you want to be strong?"
"I'm not reckless, I just can't be teased by Ming's father-in-law! Isn't it just drawing a bow and shooting arrows? I'll admit I won't, so I can't study hard! Overseer, I want you to teach me martial arts! β
Leng Qingtang shook his head and smiled softly:
"Your current age is no longer suitable for martial arts training......
"Huh? How can that work? β
Gu Yunxi's expression was anxious, he tilted his neck unconvinced, and his voice was angry:
"Look at the unrelenting strength of his two close attendants in the morning, and the father-in-law Ming is helping the two of them to beat the gong in and out of his words, I am angry when I think about it now!"
Leng Qingtang smiled disappreciatively:
"What do you do with all his nonsense, it's enough for a girl to ride a horse and open a bow. I really want to learn, how about I teach you some self-defense moves when you have nothing to do? β
"Good!"
Gu Yunxi replied briskly, and his expression immediately turned from anger to joy. Gazing at the Overseer for a moment, her expression was resolute:
"Overseer, I am your apprentice, but I don't want to be protected by your wings all the time. In the past, you told me that the road should be walked by yourself, and I came to Dongchang with you to make myself stronger, so that others will envy me when they see me: Look, he is the apprentice of the cold master of Dongchang! β
Seeing the starry brilliance in her eyes, Leng Qingtang was shocked, and his heart was secretly moved. He didn't expect the little girl in front of him to be able to say such ambitious words.
Concern is chaos, it seems that he has too many concerns!
This girl is very strong in her heart-
Leng Qingtang leaned over to Gu Yunxi's side slightly, looked directly at her clear and clear eyes, and his expression was indescribably determined:
"Girl, you have to believe that I can definitely protect you! As long as you want, at any time, I will protect you! β
There was a moment of silence, and the four eyes looked at each otherβ
Leng Qingtang's eyes reflected a pure and lovely little face, thin eyebrows were gentle and light, Qiong's nose and cherry lips, and his eyes were as bright as water in his wide apricot eyes, which were crystal clear.
At this moment, this delicate and simple facial features have a stubborn energy, light but also tempting.
Gu Yunxi's vision was full of the handsome face of the overseer Langhua. The eyebrows are like ink paintings, the temples are slender, the nose bridge is high, the lips are thin, and the contours are clear! Gu Yunxi looked greedily and fell into the flawless beauty of his jade.
Outside the house, there was a sudden gust of wind, and the door creaked slightly.
Both of them came back to their senses.
Gu Yunxi lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, and the glazed brilliance in his eyes flickered.
Leng Qingtang moved the corners of his lips, smiled in a flash, picked up the linen strips on the table, and covered the wooden stopper of the medicine bottle.
"The medicine is ready, and the hand will be fine tomorrow. To be on the safe side, it's best not to touch the water with your hands first. Rest, I'll go back. β
The medicine bottle and wrapping cloth were left on the table, and Leng Qingtang got up to leave.
"Overseer, I'll send you."
Gu Yunxi stood up, using too much force, and her joints hurt so much that she grinned her teeth.
"What's wrong?".
"It's okay, it's okay, I've used up my strength to practice archery in the morning, my arm hurts, and it's good to sleep all night."
"Sit down, I'll give you a button."
After thinking for a while, Leng Qingtang moved back and pulled up his cuffs to beckon Gu Yunxi to sit down. She took a few steps back in fright, shaking her head desperately.
"Don't! Overseer, you've been busy all day, so settle in early......"
"Hurry up, it's always more comfortable to loosen your muscles."
The things that are easy to do have long been accustomed to him. He pulled her, but she hid.
"I, I...... Awkward ......"
She suddenly lowered her eyes, and her little face changed color in a hurry.
Leng Qingtang's expression was slightly condensed, and he smiled knowingly:
"Whatever you want, I'll be back."
"Hmmm......"
Gu Yunxi responded vaguely and refused to look up.
"Close the door and go to sleep. Don't run around with me tomorrow if you're tired, and rest for the day. β
Leng Qingtang had already walked to the door, but he couldn't help but turn around.
"Girl, you've only been in Dongchang for a month, but you've grown up a lot......"
Grow up......?
It is like a stone gravel falling into the clear and calm water of a lake, rippling and rippling......
Suddenly raised his head, and saw the happy and gorgeous back.
Gu Yunxi stood at the door in a daze, and the green silk scattered all over his head moved against the wind, dancing in the night.
Covering her chest with her hands, she clearly felt that something inside was burning hot, "dong dong" beating, and she couldn't rest for a moment.
To grow up is to keep a person in your heart. Whenever I think of it, my heart is like a frightened deer, beating non-stop-
