Chapter 7 Where Are You From?
The spring night is quiet, and time flows quietly.
But Gu Li's heart was not calm, she was afraid that something like last night would happen again. The more anxious she became, the more she hoped that Yan Qing would come back soon.
Where did he go? What was done?
Actually, she didn't know anything about him. Who is he? Where did it come from? What will be done? She didn't know it.
Gu Li put down the book in his hand and sighed slightly.
But at this moment, a slight noise suddenly came, which made her immediately raise her head and look towards the door.
The door was pushed open, and he walked towards her leisurely with a gentle step.
A moment later, he was dressed in a bright moonlight and stood in front of her, smiling at her.
"Waiting for me?" His beautiful lips opened and closed and asked softly.
Gu Li smiled and did not respond.
She got up and went out, bringing the warm meal on the stove.
"I've left you food." She said.
"Thank you." Yan Qing responded, but was not polite to her, and walked to the table and sat down.
His slender hand picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and ate them elegantly.
Gu Li was reading on the side again, and said casually: "I was afraid that you would come back without a key, so I gave the key to Sister-in-law Chang before leaving, but you didn't come back all day." ”
Yan Qing smiled slightly and did not answer.
"Where have you been?" Gu Li raised his eyes to look at him, and was a little weak when he asked this.
Where he went, it was his private matter. Perhaps, she shouldn't have asked.
But Yan Qing replied to her: "I went to see the peach blossoms." ”
Gu Li smiled, her eyes full of brightness: "Is it good-looking?" ”
"It's beautiful." His voice is clear, and his gaze is warmer, like the intoxicating wind of this season.
Gu Li lowered her eyes and continued to read. Thinking that the peach blossom must be beautiful, otherwise, he would not have returned for a day.
After eating, Yan Qing put down the dishes and chopsticks, as if following what he had just said, and said: "There is a Canglan Mountain in the Yue Kingdom, and there is a larger peach forest on the mountain. ”
Hearing the word "Yue Guo", Gu Li couldn't help but get nervous.
"Have you ever been to Yueguo?" She asked, not taking her eyes off the book, feigning nonchalant.
"My mother is from Vietnam, and I grew up in Vietnam." Yan Qing told the truth and did not hide it.
Gu Li's heart was pounding, he grew up in Yue Country since he was a child, so he must know about her, right? If he knew her true identity, would he still talk and live peacefully with her late at night like he did now?
Probably, not.
She kept her head down and didn't speak.
However, even though she didn't raise her head or speak, Yan Qing still saw her strangeness. He knew she was nervous.
What is she nervous about? Why is she nervous when she mentions the word "Yue Guo"? Who is she from Yueguo?
Yan Qing quickly searched for the information in her mind, however, she didn't find any that could be related to her.
A faint smile tugged at his lips, and sure enough, he had been gone for too long.
Three hundred years was too long, so long that he couldn't immediately recognize the true identity of the person in front of him.
However, it didn't matter what she was, he knew that she was a ray of light in his three hundred years of darkness, and that was enough.
Yan Qing got up and went out to wash the dishes.
Coming back, he said to her in a clear voice; "It's late at night, go to sleep."
"Hmm." Gu Li closed the book and stood up.
"I'll go to the craftsman tomorrow and make another key for you." She looked at him and said.
Yan Qing nodded slightly, and when he left, he said, "In the future, you don't have to wait for me." ”
Gu Li agreed, looking at his shallow smile reflecting the moonlight, he didn't feel a little dazzling.
The two separated, and went to sleep.
Yan Qing still hasn't slept, he has more than 300 years of blanks to fill, and it's time to start preparing.
Early the next morning, Gu Li woke up and found that Yan Qing was gone again.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what did he do? What kind of beautiful scenery must be to tempt him to go out early and return late every day to see it?
Could it be that he only enjoys the scenery and has no need to work? So how does he make ends meet? Or does he have an endless amount of money to spend at home?
After packing up, Gu Li locked the door and went to the Immortal Grass Hall.
Every day is like that, hectic and busy. After lunch, Gu Li went out to help Doctor Qin deliver medicine, and by the way, he went to the craftsman to get another key.
Yesterday, there was a patient who injured his leg, because he was unable to move, so Dr. Qin agreed to help him deliver the medicine to his home today, so as to save him from running back and forth.
His family lived next to the county office, and when Gu Li passed by the county office, he couldn't help but speed up his pace. Her current identity is Gu Xianglan, she is a fish that has slipped through the net and is on the run, so it is better to stay away from the government.
After Mama Jiang and Xiao Yezi died, she had thought carefully about who sent those killers who chased and killed her?
It shouldn't be from the government. She's just a weak woman, if the government intends to kill them all, where will the killers be dispatched?
Some people only know that she fled with her nursing mother, but they don't know that she still has a girl. That's why, that night, those killers mistook Xiao Yezi for her, and walked away after killing her.
Xing Xu's government didn't know about the existence of her fish that slipped through the net. The people who pursued her also thought she was dead. Therefore, she is safe for the time being, as long as she is cautious, she should not get into trouble.
Gu Li finished delivering the medicine and went back to the Immortal Grass Hall.
On her way back, she passed a bookstore with a bookstall at the door, on which were many books. She glanced casually over there and saw that there were several medical books in them. So she walked over and took a look.
After flipping through a few pages, Gu Li nodded again and again. The book is indeed a good book, and there are several explanations of medical theory that make her feel refreshing.
Gu Li was going to buy these books, so she asked the shopkeeper of the bookstore, "How much are these books?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at her hand and replied, "It's cheaper for you, three hundred wen." ”
Gu Li was stunned, three hundred wen is still cheap? She couldn't earn 300 yuan in the first half of a month.
What she didn't know was that books were definitely considered a luxury here, except for students, only rich people would buy them, so the price would naturally not be low.
"Can it be cheaper?" Gu Li tried to negotiate the price. Now don't talk about 300 wen, she doesn't even have 100 wen.
"Little girl, this is already the cheapest, and if it's cheaper, I'll lose money." The shopkeeper of the bookstore looked displeased, obviously not wanting to do her business anymore.
Helpless, Gu Li had to reluctantly put down the book and returned to the fairy grass hall.
She finished work early today, and she went home early.
She estimated that Yan Qing would not come back early, so she did not cook immediately, but waited for a while before entering the stove room.
Cooking, she did not go to sleep, but read under the lamp.
The book borrowed from Dr. Qin, Gu Li plans to read it tonight and bring it back to him tomorrow.
She read quietly, unaware of the fact that time slipped quietly around her. It wasn't until the door was pushed open with a "squeak" that Yan Qing's long and elegant figure walked in slowly, and she realized that the moon had already climbed the treetops.
"Coming back?" Gu Li raised his head and smiled at him, "The rice is on the stove, you can bring it to eat yourself." ”
As he spoke, he continued to look down at the book.
Yan Qing hesitated, smiled slightly, and turned around and entered the stove room.
When he came in again, Gu Li caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, and he felt that he was holding a rice bowl, as if he was struggling.
She hurriedly looked up at him.
Could it be that he can't move the coffin, the bricks, and the rice bowl?
