Chapter 12 Outing
Before Gu Zhiqing could recover from the thanks he had just received from Sima Ming, he heard a shout from afar: "Cousin, come here." β
"What's wrong?" Gu Zhiqing was afraid that Sima Ming would encounter any danger, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he waved his horsewhip and rushed in the direction of Sima Ming's voice, until he looked at the gurgling water in front of him and was relieved.
At this time, Sima Ming had already dismounted, looked at Gu Zhiqing by the stream, and smiled, "There is a stream here." β
Gu Zhiqing grew up with her since she was a child, and when she saw her like this, she knew what she wanted to do, and it happened that the sun was just right today, and the water would not be cold, so he instructed: "Don't take too long." β
Sima Ming took off his shoes and socks and tied up the hem of his clothes, and his white lotus feet stepped on the crystal clear water, which formed a sharp contrast with the pebbles at the bottom of the pool.
Gu Zhiqing, who was standing on the shore, looked at Sima Ming who was frolicking in the water, the splashing water was shining in the shining sunlight, and the person in the water was like a fairy in the game world, just a glance made people fascinated.
Sima Ming walked in the stream, feeling extremely comfortable, turned his head sideways and was about to call Gu Zhiqing, and found that he was looking at a certain place in a trance, and suddenly something flashed in his mind, and he snickered.
Suddenly, a handful of water splashed towards Gu Zhiqing, pouring Gu Zhiqing's body cool, only to see that the fairy was standing in the water and laughing like a copper bell, "Cousin, which young lady is this thinking about, thinking so expressively?" I'm here to wake you up. β
Gu Zhiqing felt embarrassed that he was caught, and immediately denied it: "No." β
"I don't believe it." As he spoke, he poured a handful of water at Gu Zhiqing.
γ I said, "Come on, I just want to try it out with my cousin." After speaking, Gu Zhiqing was poured three times as if he had received a favor.
Forgive Gu Zhiqing's good temper is also "unbearable", took off his shoes and socks, tied the hem of his clothes and was about to go into the water to compete with his cousin, "hit" a few back and forth, the two were indistinguishable, the two were poured into each other's hearts, the breeze brought a little chill, so that the young and strong Gu Zhiqing couldn't help but shiver.
Thinking that Sima Ming's body was weak, if the cold entered his body, he was afraid that he would be sick for several days, so he took a handful of water sent by Sima Ming and persuaded him: "Okay, cousin, we should go back." β
"I don't." Saying that, he attacked Gu Zhiqing again, and Gu Zhiqing stepped forward, Sima Ming thought that Gu Zhiqing was going to counterattack, so he was so frightened that he retreated and wanted to run, but because he ran too quickly, the soles of his feet slipped and he was about to fall towards the stream.
"Cousin!!"
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqing rushed over, and both fell into the stream that only reached his calves, because the situation was too urgent, Gu Zhiqing hugged Sima Ming and forgot to let go for a while, only to the warm and soft touch on his hand, Gu Zhiqing let go like an electric shock, and immediately stood up.
"Shhh
Gu Zhiqing, who was originally red-faced because of the rudeness just now, noticed Sima Ming's strange appearance, "Cousin, have you been injured?" I'll pull you. β
"Cousin, I've got a broken foot." Sima Ming said with a face full of grievances.
Gu Zhiqing didn't care about the difference between men and women, those gentleman's sayings, picked up Sima Ming and went ashore, put her on the shore, and squatted beside her, "I'll help you take a look." β
"Hissββ, hurt!" Although Gu Zhiqing's hands are not heavy, after all, Sima Ming's skin is fine and tender, and after a while, the entire ankle is swollen, and Sima Ming, who hurts when he touches it lightly, has tears in his eyes.
Gu Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my bones." β
The water-stained clothes were tightly attached to the body, showing the curves, and happened to sit opposite Sima Ming, which was unobstructed, Gu Zhiqing felt the temperature on his face rise rapidly, and quickly took off the coat on his body and put it on Sima Ming, "You put on the clothes first, don't catch a cold." β
Sima Ming looked at Gu Zhiqing suspiciously: "Cousin, are you very hot?" β
Gu Zhiqing said with a little weakness: "No... No, it's not early, or we'll go back first. β
Sima Ming looked at the noon sun, and didn't want to go back so soon: "Cousin, it's rare for you to accompany me out, just stay for a while, and it's really undignified for us to go back like this, it's better to wait for the clothes to dry and then we go back." β
Gu Zhiqing also knew that he couldn't go back like this, but after all, Sima Ming had an injury on his foot, "Although the injury on your foot didn't hurt your muscles and bones, you still have to let the doctor take a look." β
"Anyway, it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and it won't be in the way for the doctor to take a look at it later."
Gu Zhiqing knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he sighed, "Then sit down for a while, and we'll go back when the clothes are dry." β
Sima Ming immediately agreed.
The summer afternoon breeze blows, bringing a burst of warmth, even if the whole body is soaked, you can't feel a trace of cold, it took half an hour for Gu Zhiqing to realize that Sima Ming, who has always been cheerful, has not made a sound since he promised to sit for a while, and turned his head sideways to find that he didn't know when, Sima Ming had fallen asleep on the soft grass.
Suddenly, Gu Zhiqing remembered some of the past events, he was born in the side room, his mother died when he gave birth to him, and the people in the house spread the rumor that he was a lone star, saying that he was born to defeat his father and mother, and his father was afraid of him, so he threw him lonely and helpless in a remote corner of the backyard, but fortunately, he was taken care of by a maid who had received his mother's grace before his death, so that he could spend his childhood.
When he was young, the maid also left, and he was the only one left in the whole side courtyard, although there were leftovers for every meal, and someone would send some ill-fitting clothes every quarter, so that he would not starve and freeze, but he couldn't stop those favored children in the house from bullying him, and it was at that time that he met Sima Ming who was playing in the house, and it was only then that his father noticed that he still had such a big child.
Maybe he was afraid of gossip and treated him a lot better, Sima Ming may be afraid that those children in the mansion would bully him again, so he came to the Gu Mansion from time to time to look for him. One year, Sima Ming suddenly got smallpox, the fever did not go away for a few days, the whole Hou Mansion tried all the methods to no avail, the maids in the house were discussing, saying that Sima Ming was afraid that he would not be able to keep it, he wanted to see Sima Ming, but was stopped by his father in the house and locked in the courtyard for reflection.
