CHAPTER XXII
Gu Huali's water nature is not particularly good, after all, he is from the Northland.
The little girl's face was pale in the water, and she only closed her eyes and fluttered in an orderly manner, and he could not get close for a while. Finally grasping her arm, the little girl began to cling to her like an octopus.
Gu Huali was helpless, so she could only hold him and flutter wildly, and he quickly swam to the case.
It wasn't until he got ashore that Mingshu still tugged at his sleeve with a pale face and didn't let go, and then said unexpectedly: "Fifth brother? ”
No matter what she thought, she didn't expect Gu Huali to suddenly appear.
Mingshu let go of her hand and coughed for a while, her chest hurting terribly.
"What's going on?" He was used to a cold demeanor, and his dark eyes swept over Wanwan's face at will, and the other party immediately panicked.
"It's me, it's me who carelessly...... Bumped into Cousin Shu......"
Hearing this, Mingshu sighed in her heart.
Before Gu Huali could speak, Mingshu said, "It's okay, Wanwan, you go to see Yan Yan first." After a pause, she noticed that Li Xiuwen was also here, and said, "Cousin Wen, go and see Yan Yan, she also fell into the water just now, and it looks like she is frostbitten." ”
Before the words fell, a gust of wind blew, and Mingshu was also shivering, and the last few words were vaguely swallowed in her throat.
Gu Huali took off his coat and wrapped it around Mingshu, his expression was cold, and he raised his chin slightly to Li Xiuwen and said, "I'll send the order back." Then he turned and strode out.
Mingshu was covered by Gu Huali's coat and felt colder and colder, the coldness drilled into the muscles and bones like a snake hyacinth, Mingshu trembled her teeth and her brain was dizzy.
As soon as Gu Huali entered the Hongxuan, he ordered: "Take a thick quilt, and the ginger tea will be boiled quickly." Then he frowned and lifted the curtain to go in, put Mingshu down, and went to pour Mingshu a cup of hot tea in person.
The maid hurriedly took the thick quilt and lit the smoke cage again.
Gu Huali walked out, and Mingshu trembled in the room and asked the maid to change her clothes. It took a lot of tossing and turning before she warmed up.
Mingshu hugged Tang Pozi and nested in the quilt, her body was fine, but her brain was a little messy, so she hung her head in a daze.
She seemed to have forgotten or missed something.
The maid said softly: "Cousin girl, Gu Jiawulangjun is still outside, are you going to rest?" ”
Mingshu was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't rest." ”
"Then I'll invite Gorou-kun in?"
"Hmm."
Gu Huali had already changed his clothes, but his wet hair was still hanging on the top of his head, and it was probably too late to bathe.
Mingshu was very grateful to him, if it weren't for him, she would probably have to drink a stomach full of water like Li Shuangyan.
So he smiled and said, "Fifth brother, you saved me three times." ”
The little girl's round eyes looked at him, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her eyes were crooked, cute and smart.
His expression was a little softer, "If you don't go back so carefully, it won't be enough for me to save you countless times." Then he glanced at Mingshu coldly.
Mingshu was used to seeing his cold eyebrows, and only felt that this look was very calm and gentle...... Then he slapped his forehead helplessly, his requirements for Gu Huali were really low.
Mingshu didn't care about his blame. Crawled out of the quilt, dug out the soup woman in the quilt, and held it in both hands and brought it to him, "Warm." ”
It's not just warm, it's very hot.
But the other party didn't seem to receive the account, glanced at Tang Pozi lightly, and said to her, "Cover the quilt." ”
The tone was cold and serious, as if he was teaching a student.
Mingshu: "......"
But fortunately, he still took over the soup woman.
Because it was used by a little girl, it was covered with a beautiful white cotton cloth sleeve, and it was embroidered with a particularly cute fat rabbit, holding a carrot and gnawing on it stupidly. Resting in Gu Huali's hands, how weird it looks.
Mingshu couldn't help but smile and looked away.
He saw the little girl pouting secretly, and slowly crawled into the quilt, pulling the quilt to the fleshy chin of her neck, and looking up at him, her expression seemed to be a little tangled.
Gu Huali had a headache for no reason, and said, "Say." ”
Mingshu said, "Why is the fifth brother willing to save me three times?" ”
In fact, as soon as she blurted out the words, she was a little nervous.
Who is Gu Huali? It is the elder of the pavilion in later generations, the second assistant, and the goal of the whole university scholars. The most important thing is that he hates the Gu family to the bone, and as soon as he gains power, he destroys the Gu family.
She was lucky to survive at that time, and it was only because she got married.
As for why Gu Huali hates the Gu family, Mingshu also knows something.
The second aunt was mean, and when Gu Huali was young, she was abused many times by the subordinates in the house. Until the age of twelve, he was locked up in an abandoned courtyard, and even many people in the house forgot about his existence. Later, the second aunt designed to drive away Gu Huali's teacher, and she almost didn't even hand over the scroll, and the son of the second room took a group of gentlemen to humiliate him on the official road......
This is only known to Mingshu.
Where she didn't know, Gu Huali didn't know how to be mean.
Even so, Ming Shu still couldn't understand that he killed the Gu family.
Those are all his relatives, all of them are bloody human lives. No matter how much you hate and resent, killing so many people so easily makes people feel cold-blooded and violent.
But Gu Huali in front of him didn't seem to be such a cold-blooded person, Mingshu thought melancholy and contradictory.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could change that?
He laughed faintly, "Mingshu, I'm your brother." "He is cold, but she is his blood relative in the end, and he will naturally save her when he sees him in the peach blossom forest.
But later......
"You gave me the opportunity to go on a study tour. The time you met the robbers, although it was thrilling, it was also a return to your affection. He looked indifferent, glanced at Mingshu, and the soup woman in his hand was enthusiastic.
Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief.
When she was just reborn, she always felt that he was a wolf who had destroyed human nature, and she was always worried in her heart, but now she is finally better.
She tugged at Gu Huali's sleeve and said a little worriedly: "Fifth brother, you are so powerful, don't be a bad person in the future." ”
Gu Huali smiled, "What if you are a bad person?" ”
Mingshu's heart choked, "It's too dangerous for a smart person to be a bad guy." "For example, in his previous life, he killed his brother and father to incite the world to worship him, which is really terrifying.
He said slowly: "I won't hurt you, what are you afraid of?" ”
Mingshu choked, and finally had to say, "That's what you said." ”
"Well, I said that."
