Chapter 197: Calling Dad (1st Shift)

Since he explained the cause and effect to Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai found that he couldn't raise his head in front of him at all, and he was even more humble than a servant.

Dongfang Ying didn't know what he had done, he was worshiped as a god by the people up and down the state capital, and when he left from Lingzhou, the state government sent him a lot of trays and good dry food.

After returning from Nanxiang, in order to facilitate the journey, Shen Bai changed back into men's clothes, and when he set off, he was asked by Gu Hengzhou to change into women's clothes.

The clothes were bought by Gu Hengzhou at his behest of the people, mostly in light pink, rouge and other colors, lined with white skin, and there was a circle of animal fluff on the collar and cuffs, which was quite lively and cute, not Shen Bai's usual dressing style, Shen Bai tried to protest, and after being glanced at by Gu Hengzhou, he swallowed it silently.

She is an inconsistent, half-hearted scumbag, and she is not worthy of making demands on Gu Hengzhou.

Gu Hengzhou still had injuries on his body, at the insistence of Shen Bai and Imperial Doctor Zhang, Gu Hengzhou finally agreed to take a carriage into Beijing, for fear that his wound would crack, the carriage drove very slowly, and set off early in the morning on the first day, and only left Lingzhou City more than ten miles in the evening.

There was no shop in front of the village and no store in the back, the team was repaired in situ, Shen Bai diligently helped Gu Hengzhou deliver water and food, Gu Hengzhou took it all, but his expression was cold, and he didn't mean to talk to Shen Bai at all.

Shen Qi grabbed Shen Bai's arm, still resentful of being left in the inn before, and gloated: "You're finished, Dad ignores you." ”

Shen Bai ignored him, Shen Qi let go of Shen Bai, flew in front of Gu Hengzhou, tossed and turned in his arms, and deliberately pulled hatred: "I can roll in my father's arms, and I can sleep in my father's arms, you can't do it, haha." ”

When your father was kind to me, you didn't know where to be a little ghost and eat people.

Shen Bai glanced at Shen Qi, Gu Hengzhou suddenly lifted his eyes to look at her, Shen Bai's eyes were not stopped, he saw it, and quickly explained: "I'm not glaring at you, it's that little bastard who is flying into your arms to make trouble at this moment, I'm teaching him a lesson." ”

Gu Hengzhou lowered his eyes and swept his arms, there was nothing in his sight, he asked, "You just called him a little bastard, didn't you name him?" ”

"It's up, it's called Shen Qi." Shen Bai said, anyway, Gu Hengzhou also knew, so he reached out to catch Shen Qi back, slapped him on the buttocks, and said, "But later I found out that no one could see him, and it didn't make a difference whether he took a name or not." ”

Gu Hengzhou looked at her movements, probably guessed where Shen Qi was, stared in Shen Qi's direction and asked, "You like me?" ”

Shen Qi didn't like Gu Hengzhou, or deliberately angry with Shen Bai, when he was asked at this time, he said with a proud face: "Don't be complacent, I usually don't like anyone." ”

Shen Bai poked him in the face and said to Gu Hengzhou: "He is a little playful, he recognizes you as his father, don't mind." ”

Shen Bai didn't know how this sentence poked Gu Hengzhou's heart, his eyebrows stretched, and he leaned against the wall of the carriage quite happily to close his eyes again.

Shen Boka pinched Shen Qi's face and communicated with him with his eyes, and was about to teach him a good lesson, when the curtain of the carriage was blown up by a gust of wind.

At night, the weather was very cold, and the wind also brought an awe-inspiring chill, Shen Bai shivered unconsciously, feeling that after returning to Nanxiang, Shen Qi's body became more and more like an ice lump.

Afraid that Gu Hengzhou would catch a cold, Shen Bai wanted to cover the carriage curtain tightly, but when he saw Shen Qi stretching out his little tongue, he licked his lips very greedily and said, "It's so fragrant." ”

Fragrant?

Shen Bai's heart moved slightly, and then he heard a crisp sound from the bell on his wrist that had not moved for a long time.

Spirits nearby?

The hand that was about to hold down the curtain of the car was changed to open the curtain, and to Shen Bai's surprise, there were not only one or two souls outside, but dozens of them densely surrounded.

However, they were not quite the same as the souls that Shen Bai saw in Nanxiang, they had no attack power, and they were not much different from their appearance before death, their expressions were numb and confused, and they were wandering around like puppets.

The guards of the companions were cooking and eating on the fire, and these spirits were all huddled around the fire, as if waiting to be fed, and as if they felt that it was warm there, they leaned over to keep warm.

Dongfang Ying's horse was already familiar with the guards in the same company, but he was not there at this time, Shen Bai looked around, and found him on a tree on the side of the road, he was lying lazily on the treetops, still dressed like before, with two strands of pigtails hanging down on his head, Shen Bai had never seen him wash his hair, but he didn't think he was sloppy at all.

Sensing Shen Bai's gaze, he turned his head to look at Shen Bai, and then casually picked a leaf and put it to his lips and began to play a requiem.

The spirits all turned their heads to look at him, and then returned to normal, still gathering together to watch the excitement, but it didn't take long for the figures of those souls to fade into obscurity.

Shen Bai watched for a while, carried Shen Qi back to the carriage, tied the two corners of the curtain with ropes, so as not to pour in the cold wind in the middle of the night, and turned out the quilt to cover Gu Hengzhou.

There was not much space in the carriage, and Shen Bai took Shen Qi to shrink in the corner, covering himself with only the corner of the quilt.

Xu was with Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai soon fell asleep, and heard Gu Hengzhou ask in a daze: "Shen Bai, are you afraid?" ”

Shen Bai suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said in a deep voice: "After waking up in the Tai Academy, are you afraid? ”

"Nope." Shen Bai replied without hesitation, "At that time, I was glad that I could change the future." ”

If all this was not at the expense of Brother Gu, she would be grateful to Dade for the rest of her life.

Shen Bai didn't say the next words, and Gu Hengzhou didn't ask again.

Because of Gu Hengzhou's injury, from Lingzhou to Hanjing, they walked for more than half a month.

When they were about to arrive in Hanjing, a snowstorm roared, the snow on the ground was almost knee-high, the carriage was very difficult, and the group was trapped in Li County.

Shen Qi was too cold, Shen Bai didn't let him pick it up on his arm, Shen Qi squatted in the corner of the carriage all day long, and cursed Shen Bai in a circle with deep resentment, Shen Bai didn't carry it, and as soon as he arrived in Li County, he contracted the wind chill, coughing and snot.

Gu Hengzhou's wounds were also repeated, the situation was not much better than Shen Bai, Imperial Doctor Zhang looked at the two people so anxious that the corners of his mouth were foaming, seeing that Hanjing was in front of him, but he was blocked by the snow on the road in Li County, where there was nothing to do, can he not worry about people?

If it is not well diagnosed and treated, the cold will invade the lungs and heart, and it will take a lot of effort to diagnose and treat it.

Moreover, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Gu Hengzhou's physical fitness is very good, and it stands to reason that his body should have been well a long time ago, but he has been recuperating from his injury in Lingzhou for more than half a month, but his injury has recovered slowly, is it not because he has something hidden in his heart?

He has always been dull, he doesn't say anything in his heart, and Imperial Doctor Zhang can't ask, and finally ran into Shen Bai coming back from Nanxiang, Gu Hengzhou's injury finally improved a little, and Shen Bai fell ill before he arrived in Hanjing.

Aren't these one by one embarrassing him as a doctor?

Imperial Physician Zhang sighed silently, and took care of Shen Bai with twelve points of spirit, Shen Bai drank the medicine for two days but did not get better at all, not only that, but the person was also burned a little delirious.

Gu Hengzhou guarded Shen Bai inch by inch, although he didn't say a word, Imperial Doctor Zhang felt a huge pressure.

After another two days, the wind and snow finally stopped, but Shen Bai was still in high heat.

Imperial Doctor Zhang was so worried that his hair was about to turn white, and he fed Shen Bai medicine worriedly, and tentatively proposed to return to Beijing as soon as possible so that Shen Bai could receive better treatment, Gu Hengzhou was silent for a long time, and decided to wait two more days before leaving for Beijing.

The wind and snow have just stopped, and the snow on the road has not yet melted, and it is easy to have problems when you are in a hurry at this time.

Seeing that Gu Hengzhou was still sane, Imperial Physician Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted Gu Hengzhou a few more words, telling him not to worry too much.

After Imperial Physician Zhang left, Gu Hengzhou sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.

With a high fever, Shen Bai's face was very hot, revealing an abnormal flush, and if you looked closely, you could see the fine thin sweat on her face.

She slept unsteadily, probably uncomfortably, and her brow was furrowed all the time.

Gu Hengzhou stretched out his hand and crushed her eyebrows twice, but failed to crush the wrinkles, and after a long time, he sighed softly, got up and walked out of the room, slowly walked to Dongfang Ying's room, and knocked on the door three times.

The knock on the door fell for a moment, and Dongfang Ying's lazy voice came: "The door is not locked, come in by yourself." ”

Pushing the door in, Dongfang Ying was not on the bed, the whole person was hanging upside down on the beam, with a pigtail hanging upside down, the shape was unique and quite weird.

After driving for more than half a month, this is the first time Gu Hengzhou has taken the initiative to talk to Dongfang Ying, Dongfang Ying raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and looked at him upside down with his hands on his chest.

Gu Hengzhou entered the house and closed the door, and said in a deep voice: "She is sick and has not been well." ”

"Ah, that's what I did." Dongfang Ying nodded and said, "Isn't there a doctor who treats her, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Gu Hengzhou walked to the table and sat down, and said calmly: "This doctor has the best medical skills in Zhaoling, ordinary wind and cold will not take such a long treatment time, and before going to Nanxiang, she is in good health and will not get sick easily." ”

Dongfang Ying understood, jumped down from the beam of the house, walked to Gu Hengzhou and sat down, and said, "Do you suspect that there are other reasons that caused her to be sick?" ”

Gu Hengzhou looked at him fixedly and didn't respond, Dongfang Ying was inexplicable, pointed to the tip of his nose and asked, "You don't think I made her sick, right?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't say that, and instead said, "I heard that you are the most capable person in the Dongfang family right now, you should have noticed something unusual, right?" ”

After Gu Hengzhou finished speaking, Dongfang Ying circled around him twice, and sighed: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I would have suspected that you were not an ordinary person at all." ”

Gu Hengzhou's intuition was too sharp, and Rao Dongfang Ying couldn't help but be surprised.

Gu Hengzhou could be sure that his guess was correct from Dongfang Ying's reaction, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked Dongfang Ying: "What can I do to get better?" ”

"This spell feels like witchcraft, I haven't encountered it before, and I have to find the person behind it." Dongfang Ying said, Gu Hengzhou's brows immediately furrowed, knowing that he was worried, Dongfang Ying thought for a while and said, "But your soul is special, I can help you open your soul eye." ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't know what the soul eye was, so he didn't ask much, and acquiesced to Dongfang Ying's proposal.

Dongfang Ying cut a cut on his finger, took a drop of blood from him, and then wiped it on his finger, and the wound disappeared.

Gu Hengzhou didn't feel any difference at the time, and when he returned to the room, he saw Shen Qi lying on Shen Bai's chest across the quilt.

He had imagined what Shen Qi looked like before, but he was still surprised to see it.

Half of the child's face was burned, and the scars were so hideous and terrible that even the flesh was attached to the eyeballs, and every time he turned his eyes, it was quite scary.

The first thing Gu Hengzhou saw was this scene, he walked to the side of the bed and tried to grab Shen Qi, the tentacles were cold, Shen Qi's eyes widened, and he fluttered his hands and feet, as if he didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to be able to touch him now.

He didn't weigh much, he was light and fluttering, and after seeing the whole picture, Gu Hengzhou had an even more indescribable weird feeling.

Except for half of the child's small face burned, the rest of the child is white and tender, if you block the injured half of the face, it should look quite cute.

It's such a child, who hurt him?

Gu Hengzhou was thinking about things, Shen Qi fluttered vigorously, and ordered in a milky voice: "Let it go...... Let me go! ”

As he spoke, the sharp claws in his hands showed up, the tips of the claws were quite sharp, and the color was black and red, Gu Hengzhou touched it, guessing that the lethality was not bad.

Gu Hengzhou didn't let go of him, Shen Qi was a little angry, and the flame in his eyebrows ignited again, but as soon as it burned, Shen Qi felt the pain, the flame went out, and he puffed up his cheeks.

Gu Hengzhou glanced at him, carried him to sit next to him, put him on the table, and then said, "Call Dad." ”

Shen Qi put his hands around his chest, moved his little fart, turned his back to Gu Hengzhou, and hummed: "You are not my father, my mother said it, and the other person is my father." ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyes sank slightly, and he asked, "Have you seen him?" ”

Shen Qi snorted and didn't speak, he was a super temperamental person, and he would never talk to people casually.

However, Shen Qi didn't last long, and as soon as he finished humming, his stomach growled.

After entering Zhaoling, his soul was much weaker than before, and he was developed by Shen Bai into the habit of eating fragrant cakes every day.

Shen Qi pouted, a little aggrieved.

Gu Hengzhou said faintly behind his back: "I can give you food, but you have to tell me everything you know first." ”

Shen Qi moved his little fart, turned back to face Gu Hengzhou, moved the tip of his nose, sniffed vigorously for a while, and said, "Liar, you don't have anything to eat on you at all." ”

Gu Hengzhou's eyebrows didn't move, and he said confidently: "You said that you will have something to eat." ”

Shen Qi hesitated a little, his stomach rumbled twice, and he could only compromise: "Then you ask." ”

Gu Hengzhou repeated the question just now: "Have you seen your father?" ”

Shen Qi nodded, and Gu Hengzhou asked again, "What does he look like?" ”

Shen Qi said without hesitation: "He is exactly the same as you, but he has no face, and he is even more pitiful than me." ”

No face?

Gu Hengzhou was a little surprised by this statement, but seeing that Shen Qi didn't seem to understand the origin behind it, he continued to ask: "Then where is he now?" ”

Shen Qi said lightly: "He's gone." ”

Gu Hengzhou asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Shen Qi supported his face with his paws, sighed like a little adult and said: "I don't know, my mother said that the old husband and wife should be a little interesting, he didn't seem to like it, so he left, before leaving, let me listen to my mother's words carefully, protect my mother well, and then disappear." ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't ask what the "old husband and wife's taste" was, nor did he ask anything else, and took Shen Qi out to find Dongfang Ying again.

Dongfang Ying didn't close the door, it seemed that he had expected Gu Hengzhou to go back, and after entering the door, Gu Hengzhou was not polite, and said directly: "My son is hungry and wants to eat." ”

Dongfang Ying raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "You adapt quickly, and you recognized your son after a while?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's expression was calm, and he said: "It is natural for him to call my fiancΓ©e a mother, and it is natural to call me father. ”

Dongfang Ying sighed, admired Gu Hengzhou's temperament, took a piece of fragrant cake for Shen Qi to nibble, and asked Gu Hengzhou: "Why aren't you curious why I say that your soul is special?" ”

After Dongfang Ying finished speaking, the words "Ask me quickly, ask me quickly" were written all over his face, Gu Hengzhou didn't ask, and walked out with Shen Qi in his arms, Dongfang Ying didn't cooperate halfway through the mystery, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he chased out the door and blocked Gu Hengzhou's way and asked, "You really don't want to know?" ”

Gu Hengzhou lifted his eyes to look at him, his eyes were calm, and inexplicably made Dongfang Ying feel unable to look directly.

Gu Hengzhou didn't say anything, and walked past him and left.

Back in the room, Shen Qi finished chewing the piece of fragrant cake, and even licked his fingers carefully.

Gu Hengzhou hugged him and sat down on the edge of the bed, saw Shen Bai stretch out his hand to the quilt, helped her cover the quilt, and then said to Shen Qi: "I will be your father in the future, you will follow the Gu family's surname, Shen Qi is just your nickname, your big name is Gu Beicheng, and he is my eldest son." ”

Shen Qi didn't know what big names and small names he blinked, and Gu Hengzhou continued: "If your relationship with her dissipates after a thousand years, your name will still be written into the Gu family tree, and I will personally engrave a monument for you and set up a tomb." ”

Shen Qi still didn't understand well, and Gu Hengzhou didn't want him to understand, so he took out the dagger and swiped it on his index finger, and the red blood beads immediately gushed out.

Gu Hengzhou handed his finger to Shen Qi, and as soon as Shen Qi smelled the sweet smell of blood, his eyes lit up, and he hugged Gu Hengzhou's finger and sucked hard.

Gu Hengzhou drank it from him, and said solemnly and solemnly: "Now you also drink my blood, call Dad." ”

Xu has been staying with Shen Bai for a long time, and Shen Qi is now a little ghost with no bottom line of principles, after eating fragrant cakes and drinking blood, he was very satisfied, and called his father softly and glutinously according to Gu Hengzhou's request.

After calling and continuing to drink blood, Gu Hengzhou didn't give it, and was about to wrap his fingers with a strip of cloth, the two small fangs in Shen Qi's mouth became longer, and the next moment, Dongfang Ying broke into the house and shouted: "I'll go, what are you doing to give him blood if you have nothing to do?" ”

When the words fell, the jingling bell rang, and Dongfang Ying was about to cast a spell, Shen Qi smashed a hole in the roof and jumped out directly.

Dongfang Ying chased out, Gu Hengzhou took a step out, and then turned back to the bed, Shen Bai didn't know when to open his eyes, and looked at the bed tent blankly.

Gu Hengzhou leaned over to look at Shen Bai, and was about to speak, but Shen Bai closed his eyes again, as if nothing had happened just now.

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips, and his lip line was as sharp as a knife.
