Chapter 23: Secrets

"Madame, she's not pregnant."

This is the third time Lang Zhong has said this sentence to Gu Yuyin, but the response he got is still the same. Xu Shi didn't wait for Gu Yuyin to answer, and took the lead in saying, "It must be a wrong diagnosis, official, you ask him to give me a pulse again, or maybe you find another Lang Zhong to take a look at me." ”

But this time, Gu Yuyin didn't follow her like the previous two times, he comforted Xu with clever words, and then glanced at Lang Zhong and came to the courtyard with him.

As soon as the door was closed, Lang Zhong complained bitterly, "Gu Lizheng, I really didn't get the happy pulse, if you don't believe me, I won't accept the money for this medical treatment, you can find another Lang Zhong to try it again." ”

"Are you sure you haven't?"

"Nope."

Gu Yuyin took out a few copper plates and stuffed them into his hands, "I'm sorry, you came here again after hard work." ”

Lang Zhong shook his head and left with a sigh, and when he was sent out, Gu Yuyin saw that Zhao Zimai, who had just hid out to avoid suspicion, was still standing not far from the door, so he waved at him and pointed to his home. But that couldn't be more obvious: he had nothing to say to him, now or later.

Seeing Gu Yuyin close the door in front of them, Baotian was a little angry, but when he thought of what he had just said, he felt that it was not unreasonable. His brain was not suitable for thinking about too complex issues, and after the pros and cons were tugging in his brain for a while, he felt that his brain hurt, so he had to pull Zhao Zimai to help him answer his questions.

"Do you think Gu Yuyin is right?" Zhao Zi walked towards the sunset, and his hair was reflected in the twilight into a faint golden yellow.

"I can't argue with that." After saying this, he found that Zhao Zimai stood still, and his tall figure with light on his back was like a sculpture he had seen in Europa, tall and slender. He suddenly regretted asking this question, because he felt that Zhao Zimai might make him even more confused by explaining the main principles in the set of books he often used.

But he thought wrongly, Zhao Zimai only said a short sentence, but Baotian suddenly figured it out.

"It is ridiculous that a person cannot choose his own birth or his own death, and that a person who has stifled both of his rights can still speak a great truth calmly. Baotian, Gu Yuyin, even if he has experienced a lot of hardships, but if he does such a thing, he is destined to be unable to turn over for the rest of his life. ”

After saying this, Zhao Zimai walked forward, facing the wind and the sunset in front of him, he took a big step, but his steps were brisk, and he looked much more relaxed than when he first came out of the Gu family.

"Maybe Gongzi was also troubled by this matter, and when I asked, it just untied the knot in his heart." Baotian was also happy, and quickly chased forward.

The two of them walked silently for a long time, and then they saw the courtyard of Gu Yuming's house, Baotian suddenly remembered something, his steps froze, and he stopped Zhao Zimai, who was walking in front, "Childe, do you really think it's Amy?" ”

Zhao Zimai's mind has been on Gu Yuyin, and when he heard Baotian mention Amy, he was a little stunned for a while. But at this moment, the courtyard door in front of him was suddenly pushed open, and Susan walked out of the courtyard with a panicked expression, and when she saw the two of them, she hurriedly walked over and said in a loud voice, "Mike, have you seen Amy?" I can't find her. ”

The light of the setting sun painted the grass with a layer of gold dust, and when the wind blew, the grass shook and confused people's eyes.

Amy hid under the golden grass "waves", tilting her head slightly, staring at Shen'er who was getting closer and closer.

Three steps, two steps, one step

She suddenly jumped up, put her hands on Shen'er's shoulders, and giggled in her mouth, "Caught, caught, my brother didn't find me, I won." ”

Shen'er had actually seen her a long time ago, but she still pretended to be frightened, took her hand and smiled, "You win, then brother will make up a few more rabbits for you, and let you take them back to the place where Ou came from to play, okay?" ”

I didn't think about it, but after hearing this, Amy pouted, "I don't want to go back, everyone there is very good to me, but everyone is different from me and I haven't found my father and mother yet." She broke off a dogtail grass, crushed it between her fingers, and threw the grass to the ground, "Today my mother and I went to the village to ask around, but when each of them saw me, it was as if they suddenly became dumb, and they didn't say a word. ”

By the time she said this, Shen'er had already braided a small flower with her dexterous fingers and inserted it into Amy's hair.

"It's so pretty." He looked at Amy, patted the grass clippings off his hands, and pulled her to sit on the haystack. At this time, the sun had not yet set, and large clouds were floating in the sky, reflected in the afterglow as red as flames.

"Amy, you'd better go back and be with your mommy." After a while, Shen'er slowly uttered such a sentence, his tone was calm, calm as an adult.

"Why?" Amy's eyes widened and she looked sideways at him.

"It's not as beautiful as you see, and there's a lot of evil here that is far beyond your imagination."

"What is it?"

Amy waited with bated breath for Shen'er's answer, and when she saw his face, the face that seemed to be always kind and gentle now had no expression, and happiness and sadness seemed to be diluted, leaving only silence like a blank sheet of paper.

"It's better not to know," after a long time, Shen'er finally said this sentence, "Knowing that secret will become a shackle, binding and forbidding you for the rest of your life." ”

Amy was taken aback by this sentence, and after blinking her eyes a few times, she decisively moved on to another topic, "Little brother, do you miss your father?" I was thinking about what my parents looked like all the time, and wondered if they would think of me as much as I did. ”

Shen'er reached out and touched Amy's curly hair, then lowered her head and smiled, turning her face to the other side.

"Little brother, why don't you answer me?" Seeing that Amy couldn't wait for an answer, her temperament also came up a little, and she grabbed Shen'er's arm and forced him to look at herself, "Why are you like those people, you become dumb when you see me." ”

"No, I don't miss him at all, I haven't even dreamed of him."

Shen'er finally answered, but his answer shocked Amy, and her hand let go and slowly hung to the ground.

"Why?"

"Because of him, I rarely see my mother's smile."
