141. Self-deception

It is better to ask for others than for yourself, I got up with my hands propped up, my feet trembled when I landed, and as soon as I stood up, my legs were weak and I was about to fall down, and he grabbed him and hugged him horizontally, and easily walked into the bathroom.

I couldn't help but remind him: "Water is in the kitchen." ”

"That little bit of water in the kettle is enough for you to vomit?"

As soon as I gritted my teeth and turned on the faucet, I used a cup to fill the tap water, and I went down to my stomach one by one, and my stomach was swollen, and I felt that the water was full to my throat and I didn't spit it out. Gu Xi leaned against the door with a cigarette in his mouth, spit lightly and said, "Haven't you tried to drink too much and then vomit?" ”

I shook my head, I rarely drank alcohol, and when I did, I always drank low-alcohol alcohol, and I never drank until I vomited.

"Open your mouth and use your index and middle fingers to depress the base of your tongue."

After a little hesitation to follow his method, I didn't expect that the feeling of gagging immediately came with just a light touch, and the moment I withdrew my finger, I had already spit in the pool, and then, my face turned pale.

If there was a little bit of thought that Gu Xi was alarmist before this, then when he saw those black things at this moment, he was only frightened. After that, I didn't need to pick again, because as long as I poured water, I couldn't control my gagging, and I waited until all the yellow bile I vomited came out, and then I poured it down.

But the process made my whole body collapse, and tears flowed down my eyes as early as halfway through, and if I hadn't been sitting on the edge of the bath with my hands on the sink, I would have collapsed to the ground. Looking up in a blurred vision, he heard Gu Xi snort twice and then teased: "Look at you pitiful, this lesson is to warn you not to trust anyone easily." ”

My heart trembled, and I finally returned to this problem.

Before this, Gu Xi asked me about the itinerary of this day, and just said that there are two ways to use this Gu, one is physical contact, and the other is from the mouth. And the only one who has had contact with my body on this day and may let me eat the medicine Gu is Zhu Ke.

It's hard for me to connect Gu with Zhu Ke, and it's even harder to believe that my best friend will come to harm me.

I thought about it carefully since I stepped out of the door this morning, and suddenly I thought that in addition to Zhu Ke, there was another person who had physical contact with me on this day. This person was Zhang Qian, the class leader who sat next to me in the morning class, and I remember that I was distracted by thinking about things at that time, and the tutor called me by name on the podium to let me speak, and it was she who poked my elbow with a pen and called me.

I forgot this detail just now, but when I said it, Gu Xi laughed, and I understood the smile, with a clear irony.

But he said, "Since you think your classmate is suspicious, then you can make an appointment and meet him." ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, I waited at the intersection of King Street, with a little makeup on my face. Because if I don't wear lipstick and blush, I'm afraid that my pale face will reveal something, and Gu Xi said that there is an incubation period of at least three days.

Seeing Zhang Qian get out of the taxi, I immediately stepped forward. She was the first to ask suspiciously: "Chang Yuan, why are you in such a hurry to go back to your hometown?" Is there something going on at home? ”

This is what I said when I asked her out on the phone before, and I already had a set of drafts, so I replied: "It's not for the demolition of the old house, my mother called and said that I had to go back to sign, and I was in a hurry, so I had to buy a ticket to go back overnight." Originally, the project report was promised to be handed over to him by the tutor the day after tomorrow, so I had to make it out and print it out for you to hand it in for me. ”

Zhang Qian nodded knowingly and said: "Sometimes the old man is in a hurry, what time do you buy a ticket?" ”

Fortunately, I was prepared before I came, and I specially checked the flight back to Changcheng, so I said: "There is only one flight at half past ten, and I will go back to pack my belongings and rush to the airport to check in." ”

When Zhang Qian heard this, she immediately looked at her watch, and then said, "That's a very urgent time, hurry up and give me the things, you go back and pack up." I handed her the bag in my hand, and grabbed her hand with a feigned grateful, saying, "I'm sorry." ”

"Ah, why are your hands so cold?" As soon as her hand was shaken, Zhang Qian asked in surprise.

I responded with a smile: "I took a cold shower when I just came out, but it was comfortable." Zhang Qian shook her head and said: "This is not good for your health, don't take a cold bath in the future, it is easy to catch a cold and the cold is easy to enter the body." After saying that, she paused, and then stopped.

I said, "If you have something to say, just say it, it's fine." ”

"Is this research case that you helped Mr. Gu do before the summer vacation? Can I learn from that? ”

"Of course you can, and it's no secret."

After a few more pleasantries, I insisted on watching her leave first, and then I turned around and walked along the road for more than 50 meters, where a Land Rover car that was dormant in the dark like a cheetah was parked. I opened the car door and sat in, and saw Gu Xi playing games with his mobile phone in the driver's seat. ”

I paused, and asked, "How can you be sure she's not?" ”

The corners of his mouth hooked: "It's not that I'm sure, but you like to deceive yourself." ”

On the way here, he told me a way to test whether the other party was the one who went under the Gu - body temperature. Those who can touch this medicine Gu are either already infected with the Gu or can control the Gu, and no matter what kind of body temperature they have, their body temperature will drop to an icy state. Because those five poisons are cold and heat-sensitive, it is precisely because I first ate raw food and then rinsed a hot bath that caused my body to start to react with red rashes. Even if I was relieved of Gu Xi's Gu, my body temperature hadn't recovered in such a short time.

But when I touched Zhang Qian's hand just now, I found that it was warm, including my verbal temptation to her during the whole process, she behaved normally. She has always been very envious of Gu Xi's coming to the school to ask me for a research project, so as soon as she mentioned it on the phone because she didn't have any friendship, she immediately readily agreed to come out to me so late.

That Fang Guxi knocked out the opponent with a flip of his fingers, and then he raised his head and looked at me with a smile, and as soon as I opened my mouth, he cut it off: "Don't explain it to me, the answer is in your heart." ”

I'm speechless.

On a September day, the car was driving on the road at night, and I felt a biting chill on my body.

When Gu Xi said the method of using body temperature to test, my heart sank. During the day, Zhu Ke and her boyfriend are all normal, but on such a hot day, both of them are wearing long sleeves, and I also beat a drum in my heart after eating, and I plan to find an opportunity to ask Zhu Ke privately What is wrong. At that time, where would I think about this, I just thought that there might be something unspeakable.

In this way, I still insist on seeing Zhang Qian first, and it is undeniable that I still have the mentality of luck. Because it was my classmate Zhang Qian who would rather be a Gu to me, rather than Zhu Ke.

When the car stopped, I was stunned, turned my head sideways and looked at him suspiciously, my black eyes did not fluctuate a little emotionally, I only heard him say calmly: "It's up to you whether you can go upstairs or not, do you want to continue to deceive yourself to the other party to find you, or at this time, you will unexpectedly restrain the other party and seize the initiative." ”

It seems that Gu Xi gave me a choice, but in fact, I didn't have a choice. Looking up at the fifth floor through the car window, the lights were still on before the night was dark.

Taking a deep breath, I asked, "Do you want to go up with me?" ”

He smiled: "What? Afraid? I nodded, I was really scared, afraid that people would be unpredictable.

He put out the fire and pulled out the key, "Let's go, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll accompany you." I frowned, this uncle is really going to fall into the well, but he said that he was in a good mood when I was physically and mentally compromised, and the pain in his spine was still there.

When the elevator door opened, I felt inappropriate, I came to look for Zhu Ke and there was a reason to find, but wouldn't it be to tell the world that I was going to come to find trouble? So when I got out of the elevator, I pulled him and squeaked and asked him to hide in the safe passage first, and his dark eyes looked at me indifferently and gave me four words: "Don't even think about it." ”

And without saying anything, I walked to the door of Zhu Ke and pressed the doorbell, I stepped forward nervously, and before I could think about how to deal with it, I saw the door being pulled open from the inside. It wasn't Zhu Ke who opened the door, but her boyfriend Aze.

Before I could speak, Gu Xi suddenly moved, kicked on the door and grabbed the other party's throat with his right hand, pushing the person into the door. He was dumbfounded, he was really ...... Out of the blue. Who would have thought that he would attack directly without even saying a word, and when Zhu Kewen came out of it, he was as stunned as me, and he didn't understand the situation at all.

Aze couldn't say anything when he was choked under Gu Xi's palm, and he wanted to greet him with both hands several times, but he didn't know why he retracted again. Zhu Ke looked at Gu Xi in horror and then looked at me again, "Wish, what's going on?" ”

What can I explain by this? I could only remain silent and let the man play.

In fact, Gu Xi was wanton most of the time, just like at this moment, after he grabbed Aze by the throat and pressed it against the wall, he said with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "Tell us who you are." He didn't even take a detour, he just cut straight to the point.

Zhu Ke was about to run over and was stopped by me in a hurry, but Gu Xi's cool warning voice followed: "If you don't want him to swallow his breath immediately, stay there and don't move." Zhu Ke was frightened by his momentum, took my hand and asked, "Wish, who is this person?" ”

I didn't answer her, I just looked at her hand in a daze, if my hand was still cold when I shook Zhang Qian's hand just now, then Zhu Ke's hand at this moment can be regarded as ice compared to me. It seemed that something was clear there, but I still asked in a quiet voice, "Coco, why are your hands so cold?" Caught a cold? ”

She was stunned for a moment, subconsciously withdrew her hand, and said with a flickering eye: "No, I was making iced sour plum soup just now, maybe because I got ice cubes." I didn't speak again, my fingers clenched into fists, and my knuckles turned white.

There was a pop behind me, I turned my head and saw Gu Xi let go of his palm, and Aze fell to the ground due to weakness, and raised his head after a few dry coughs, and looked at Gu Xi with resentful eyes and came to see me again, his eyes flashed with realization, only to hear him say in a low voice: "I didn't expect to be discovered by you so soon, I want to know who I am?" Ask Zhu Ke what my surname is, and you will know. ”

I was stunned, turned my head to look at Zhu Ke, her eyes shrunk and she whispered, "His surname is Xie, his name is Xie Ze." ”

"You're from Bryntown?" I blurted out and asked, and then I thought of something, surnamed Xie and Hui Gu, he was ...... "You are the son of Lao Xie Tou?!" "If I was a little skeptical about the former question, I was sure of the latter.

Sure enough, the corners of Aze's mouth pulled up a sarcastic smile: "It's not stupid." My grandma told me that Daddy was dead. The people in the town said it was suicide, heh, my grandma and I both knew that Daddy's most likely fate was to die, but he would never commit suicide. I also heard that Old Man Xie was crushed to death, Xie Xiaoqin was burned to death, and many of these things happened during the period when the two of you outsiders came to town. ”
