Chapter 11: Misunderstanding Him
His expression completely fell into Gu Li's eyes, making her wonder, is he displeased? Because she took off his clothes without permission?
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Gu Li's eyes, and then he said, "Don't worry, you are a pile of bones in my eyes." β
When she had said this, she went out of the room.
Yan Qing chuckled, looking at her back as she left, her eyes as deep as an ocean.
He wasn't displeased, and he wasn't unhappy that she had taken off his clothes.
Gu Li went to the stove room, cooked some porridge, and brought it to him.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, he suddenly said: "Thirty miles away from here, there is a Moon Mountain, there is a pool of clear spring under the mountain, every clear night, the moon is reflected in the pool water, or bright as a silver plate, or slender and swaying, since it has the reputation of 'reflecting the moon in the secluded pool'." β
Gu Li couldn't help but be attracted by his words, and longed for the landscape he depicted. But she came to her senses and looked at him suspiciously.
Why did he say this all of a sudden?
Yan Qing raised his lips lightly and smiled slightly: "Why don't we go and enjoy this beautiful scenery tonight?" β
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and laughed angrily.
He was definitely the most uncooperative patient she had ever met.
"What are you like now? Why are you still thinking about this? Now it's imperative to recuperate, you know? As for the othersβ"
"I'm all right." He interrupted her chattering exhortations and looked at her with a smile on his face, a softness in his eyes.
Gu Li was dumbfounded, her heart was on fire, and she naturally didn't believe his nonsense.
His body is almost like this, how can it be so fast?
"If you don't believe me, look at it again." As he spoke, he stretched out his wrist in front of her, looking at her eyes full of tenderness and honesty, which made people subconsciously want to believe him.
Gu Li put her fingers on his wrist, which was as bright as ice and snow, and checked his pulse again.
At this diagnosis, she almost screamed in surprise.
How is this possible?!
His physical condition was so bad that she was worried about whether he would die at any moment. But it's only been a little over an hour, how did he get so much better?
Although it is still weak and weak, at least it will not die, and there is a faint trend of improvement.
Gu Li looked at him in surprise, could it be that he had taken some elixir?
She fed him medicine once, but she knew what the medicine was, so she could only save her life for the time being, and it definitely couldn't save her life.
Yan Qing still looked at her with a smile on his face, his eyes clear.
"Have you taken any other medicine?" Gu Li questioned, looked at him and asked.
Yan Qing shook his head, his beautiful lips opened and closed slightly: "No, if there is, the medicine is you." β
Gu Li's heart trembled, what did he mean by this?
She hastily looked away from his face, blinking very unnaturally, pretending to be calm and indifferent.
"You can't go out anyway, at least not tonight!" She said as she stood up.
"Tomorrow night?" Yan Qing asked along with her words.
Gu Litou didn't reply, and responded: "Let's talk about it." β
Yan Qing looked at her back and walked out of the door, and smiled again.
But his eyes were clear and calm, without the slightest smile.
What he just said was the truth. Without her, if he does not return to darkness, he will die.
It's just that she seems to have misunderstood what he meant.
Still, that's fine.
As for the Mochizuki Mountain, he must go. And, she had to go too. Because there, there are old things left over from more than 300 years ago.
The next day, before Gu Li went out, she checked Yan Qing's pulse again.
His health has improved a lot, but he is still weak.
"How about I go to the Immortal Grass Hall with you?" Yan Qing lowered his eyes and looked at her, and asked in a gentle voice.
Gu Li thought for a moment and nodded.
He was much better now, but she was still afraid, afraid that when she returned, she would see him lying on the ground covered in blood.
So, the two went out together.
When they walked to the gate, the sister-in-law next door greeted them warmly.
"You two go out together?"
Before Gu Li could speak, Yan Qing replied first: "Yes, I'll go out with Ah Li." β
He smiled and spoke casually, as if he had been contaminated with the fireworks of the world, but he had no sense of disobedience.
Although he doesn't appear often, his sister-in-law likes him very much, and praises him, saying that he has good looks, good temperament, and good manners.
The two of them entered the Fairy Grass Hall, and Doctor Qin couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that she suddenly brought a stranger over.
Gu Li was thinking about how to explain, Yan Qing, who was standing next to her, bent down slightly, saluted Doctor Qin, and said, "Thank you Doctor Qin for taking care of Ah Li on weekdays." β
In this way, Doctor Qin suddenly understood that this person must be Gu Li's brother.
Gu Li followed and said: "My brother is not cured of his illness, and I am not very relieved, so I brought him with me." β
Last night, Gu Li came to Doctor Qin to ask for medicinal materials, so he naturally knew that her brother was sick.
"You're welcome." Doctor Qin's face was full of kindness, he responded with a smile, and asked about Yan Qing's condition with concern.
All day, Gu Li was busy on the counter, while Yan Qing was reading in front of the bookshelf on the side. Gu Li looked at him from time to time, but every time she looked at him, he seemed to be able to feel it, and he also raised his eyes to look at her.
In the face of his gentle gaze with a smile, she felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly withdrew her gaze and concentrated on her work.
In the afternoon, Yan Qing left the Immortal Grass Hall and went home first.
Gu Li thought to herself, anyway, she was going to call it a day and go home soon, let him go back first, and nothing would happen to him.
After a while, she finished her work and hurried out of the fairy grass hall.
However, when she went out, she suddenly saw Yan Qing standing not far from the door, looking at her with a smile on his face, and holding a red horse in his hand.
Gu Li was stunned, frowning slightly, not understanding what he was going to do.
"Get on the horse." Yan Qing led the horse and walked over to her, a gentle voice ringing in her ears.
"Where to go?" Gu Li's heart was full of surprise.
"Go to Mt. Mochizuki." Yan Qing replied.
Gu Li's eyebrows frowned even tighter, how could he not forget about this?
"Let's go." He spoke softly and urged her.
Gu Li raised his eyes to look at him, he wanted to reproach him, but who expected that after seeing his deep eyes with a smile, for some reason, his heart instantly softened, and he couldn't help but obey his wishes.
By the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting on horseback, and he was right behind her.
What's the use of not going at this time?
"Are you really okay?" Gu Li was worried about his condition and couldn't help asking.
"No problem." Yan Qing responded softly.
As long as she's there, he's fine.
But riding a horse was not an easy task, he did not have much strength, and could only rely on skill and skill.
After all, Yan Qing was not physically strong, so he didn't let the horse run fast. About an hour later, they arrived at Mt. Mochizuki.
However, the scene in front of him surprised Gu Li.
