Chapter 11: None of You Are You
When he got up with the basket on his back, the scholar staggered, he held on to the big tree next to him, stood there with his eyes closed and took a few deep breaths before leaving with his umbrella in hand.
Maybe it's the soul gathering ring that plays a role, Xu Yun's injury is not light, this is already the depths of this wood, he has been injured and walked so far, the wound must have become more and more serious, and it has taken nearly an hour when they followed the trail to this location, but Xu Yun still has a trace of anger.
At that time, the pear tree had not been planted in front of the scholar's house, and a few huts had not changed, but after seeing the appearance of the pear blossom tree in full bloom, now looking at the bare piece in front of the door, it made people a little uncomfortable.
The rain on the road became heavier and heavier, Fu Rusi looked at the "nameless" umbrella held by Gu Chen above his head, and then looked at the back of the scholar who was almost submerged in the rain, and the trembling oil-paper umbrella that was poured by the heavy rain, and always felt that the poor oil-paper umbrella in the scholar's hand would be poured by the heavy rain in the next moment.
After the scholar entered the house, Gu Chen and Fu Rusi entered a small room next to them.
The hut was probably used by the scholars to pile up miscellaneous items, including half-made bookcases, worn-out cotton wool and clothes bundled together, and a desk with two missing corners and many broken brushes and discarded papers.
Although it is a grocery room, it is still clean and tidy, and there is not much dust, so you can see that you usually tidy up this place.
At least it didn't make Gu Chen frown again.
When the two came in, there was a gust of wind, and a piece of paper that had been somewhat yellowed was blown up and landed at the feet of the two, Fu Rusi hurriedly closed the door, and when he turned his head, Gu Chen had already picked up the paper.
Fu Rusi glanced at it, and the paper read, "Don't take in vain, don't give in vain, don't think in vain, don't ask for anything, be convenient with others, and be at peace with what happens." The word is a little immature, probably written by a scholar many years ago.
The lower left corner of this sentence is signed: "Xu Jiheng".
It turns out that this is the full name of the scholar.
Gu Chen put the paper back in its place, and heard Fu Rusi say: "This rain can't stop for a while, where are you getting wet?" ”
Although the function of this umbrella is very wide, whether it is shade from the sun or rain, and the effect is significant. However, this umbrella is only so big, Gu Chen deliberately kept his distance, although he was not wet, Gu Chen was not necessarily, and Gu Chen was wearing black, and it would not be too obvious if he got wet.
Gu Chen shook his head and walked to the window to stand still.
The sound of the rain came from outside the house, and the breeze blowing into the house was mixed with the fragrance of earth and plants, so that Fu Rusi couldn't help but follow to the window, he didn't smell for so long, which made him feel a little new when he smelled a smell.
He didn't get too close to Gu Chen, although he wanted to do this in his heart, but he also knew that it would cause Gu Chen's discomfort, so standing by Gu Chen's side not far away seemed to be enough.
It was gloomy outside the window, he didn't like this atmosphere, as if he was telling about sadness and separation, but it was Gu Chen next to him, so he was reluctant to walk away from this position.
Fu Rusi suddenly asked: "You said that I recognized the wrong person, why didn't you remember it wrong?" ”
Gu Chen was silent for a moment, he didn't look back, and continued to look out the window, making Fu Rusi a little curious about what he was looking at.
"What are you here for?"
Fu Rusi thought about it seriously and replied, "This question, I have asked myself many times since I was conscious, but to no avail, after seeing you, I feel that this time, I am probably here for you." ”
Gu Chen turned around, and Fu Rusi saw the emotion in his eyes, which was distrust.
Fu Rusi didn't wonder that Gu Chen would have such a reaction, after all, there were many things that he hadn't sorted out and didn't know why, but the only thing he could be firm in his heart was that he wanted to find someone, and that person was Gu Chen.
It was the man standing in front of him, not any one else.
I couldn't find a reason, and it wasn't that I didn't deny myself, but as long as he looked at Gu Chen, he was firm, and he could be sure that he didn't find the wrong person.
This is an indescribable emotion, as long as he is by Gu Chen's side, he feels that he is a "living person".
"I grew up next to my master, and I went down the mountain every other year, and two years ago, I was instructed by my master to go down the mountain to look for traces of fragments, and I sensed the existence of another fragment at the foot of that mountain, so I saw you."
Gu Chen said indifferently about his past in a few words, there was no Fu Rusi in the past, and there was no scene like a dream in Fu Rusi, that was the only thing Fu Rusi could grasp was probably something that could be called a "memory" between the two, but Gu Chen seemed to be saying that it was fake, at least not his memory, let alone his past.
Fu Rusi couldn't find the words to refute, more or less frustrated, the other party he believed was constantly denying himself, but he couldn't find any words and reasons to make the other party believe in himself.
He looked at Gu Chen and said admittedly: "I know the past you said, I somehow caused me to be so firm that the person I am looking for is you, and I don't know what happened before, I only know that you affect all my emotions, it seems that only by your side, I am myself." ”
Both of them were hidden in the shadows, Fu Rusi couldn't see Gu Chen's expression clearly, he could only feel that he looked at himself for a while, but he didn't answer, and then turned his head and continued to look out the window.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been standing in this room, but the rain outside the window gradually stopped, and there was no so-called rain after the sunny, and it was still dark outside, as if it could continue the heavy rain not long ago at any time.
And Fu Rusi's stomach screamed again at the right time.
Gu Chen glanced at Fu Rusi, Fu Rusi covered his stomach, and asked a little weakly and curiously, "Are you really not hungry?" ”
When he was in the teahouse, he ate a few pieces of refreshments to cushion his hunger, and on the way up the mountain, he was also digested, and he saw the Taoist priest as soon as he felt hungry, and then he wanted to find Xu Yun's traces, and he actually left the hunger feeling behind, and now he had said everything to Gu Chen, he stood stunned next to Gu Chen, and now he finally found the feeling of hunger again, and immediately felt that he had no strength to even stand.
But Gu Chen didn't eat anything, he only took a sip of tea, and he actually saw what he was showing.
Gu Chen looked at Xu Jiheng's house through the window a little wordlessly, he only came out once this afternoon, that is, he took a grinding trough from the small kitchen next to him, and at this moment the faint light was already burning in his room.
If Xu Jiheng's medical skills are acceptable, it is not too difficult to treat in terms of the degree of Xu Yun's injury, although snakes and humans are always different, but with the blessing of the spiritual power of the fragments of the soul ring, as long as Xu Jiheng does not mix poison into the herbs, he should also have a result at this moment.
Gu Chen said: "Wait for another half an hour." ”
This is not a deserted or convenient location, there is no convenient place to eat, and they can't be too far away from Xu Yun, but after Xu Jiheng runs out of the kitchen, Fu Rusi will go inside to find out if there is anything that can satisfy his hunger.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xu Jiheng to come out of the house, his face was still pale, there were a few traces of blood on his plain white cloth, the hem of his clothes was splashed with mud, and his clothes seemed to be still semi-wet, and he looked a little embarrassed, probably to save Xu Yun, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes.
Xu Jiheng first gave himself a simple bowl of noodles, and then boiled some hot water, probably to wash up, and after he entered the house and turned off the lights, Gu Chen and Fu Rusi finally came out of the grocery house.
There are also two steamed buns in the steamer that have been cooled, there is no taste, it should be today, Fu Rusi thought that Gu Chen probably didn't like others to hand him the food, so he picked up one of them by himself, and left the other one to Gu Chen for him to take by himself, Fu Rusi almost choked himself to death with a bite of the steamed bun.
He had to sigh again, it was really good when he didn't feel anything.
The night was cool, and the steamed bun was cold and hard, but he still ate it, he was so hungry that he couldn't walk, and he was satisfied with whatever he wanted.
After he finished eating a steamed bun, he was still a little unsatisfied, and turned his head to find that another steamed bun was still lying there quietly, Fu Rusi looked at Gu Chen with some puzzlement, Gu Chen said, "I'm not hungry." ”
How could it be possible not to be hungry?
Gu Chenqi, although it is very likely that he will say that he is not hungry, just because he doesn't want to eat this leftover cold steamed bun, but Fu Rusi thought about it, he is a cultivator, and he has many magic weapons on his body, probably some other way to resist hunger.
However, Fu Rusi still didn't touch the remaining steamed bun, although he was still very hungry, but in case Gu Chen really just pretended not to be hungry, he was very hungry at night, maybe he could eat this steamed bun while he was not paying attention to it.
Fu Rusi patted his stomach and whispered, "I'm full, let's go back to the house." ”
Gu Chen turned around and left, "I really don't need to eat, you don't have to." ”
Fu Rusi was stunned for a moment, but still didn't eat the remaining steamed bun.
The second day was a fine day, and the sun was shining on the earth, which only made people feel that even breathing was much lighter.
When Fu Rusi woke up, he found that he was no longer in that room, but sleeping under a tree with his back against a tree, Fu Rusi looked down and saw that what was under him was the square scarf that Gu Chen put on the ground yesterday, and he didn't know how fast Gu Chen's movements were at that time, and he could take the square towel back to his brocade bag by the way while picking him up.
I don't know when I fell asleep last night, I didn't need to sleep when I was a ghost before, I could only stare at Xu Yun every night and wait for Xu Yun to wake up, sometimes I would float out of the cave to take a look, and after a while, I went back and continued to stare at my eyes.
Fu Rusi turned his head and looked around, there was a small river not far away, and Gu Chen was by the river.
He stretched and walked in the direction of Gu Chen.
