Chapter 12: Spirituality

When Fu Rusi stood beside Gu Chen, Gu Chen was looking at the calm water, he was used to Gu Chen often looking at a place in a daze, he would look at it together at first, but he couldn't see the reason for it for a long time, so he could only think silently, this is a mystery that Gu Chen can understand, and he can't understand it.

The cries of birds nearby came and went, the river water was very clear, Fu Rusi saw the reflection of himself and Gu Chen reflected in the water, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help muttering: "Ah, it turns out that I look like this." ”

Gu Chen: "......"

Fu Rusi, who was reflected on the water, was dressed in a narrow-sleeved black dress, his hair was simply tied loosely, Fu Rusi patted his face, a little embarrassed.

It was obviously his own face, but it was the first time he saw what he looked like so clearly, not in anyone's eyes, and it was no longer blurry for him to distinguish.

It's okay, Fu Rusi gave himself a pertinent evaluation.

He saw that there seemed to be a mole in the center of his eyebrows, and he was about to look at it more carefully, and was about to squat down, when Gu Chen handed something in front of him.

Fu Rusi looked down and saw that it was a small bronze mirror.

Fu Rusi was a little surprised: "You carry a mirror with you?" ”

Gu Chen: "... Barely able to avoid demons. ”

The role of the mirror is not much, it is a semi-finished product made by his master on a whim, the original intention is to catch demons, in fact, at most, it can only make a little demon like Xu Yun avoid it a little, causing some flesh wounds, but it can't play the role of catching demons, if the other party is a monster with a deep Taoism, then there is no effect at all.

Gu Chen didn't want to take this mirror down the mountain, but he couldn't resist his master's repeated tricks and seize every opportunity to stuff it into his brocade bag, because if he didn't bring this mirror, he would be disrespectful and unfilial, and he wouldn't put her in his eyes.

Fu Rusi nodded as if he didn't understand, looked at the mirror in Gu Chen's hand, and hesitated: "It's still not, I've already seen it and seen it clearly." ”

He always felt that the scene of looking in the mirror in front of Gu Chen was a little awkward, and besides, he was indeed not so curious about himself, and he could just know what he was like.

Gu Chen didn't say anything, and put the bronze mirror back into the brocade bag with an expressionless face.

Fu Rusi glanced at his reflection twice, but his eyes were attracted by the fish swimming in twos and threes.

He was starting to get hungry again.

Fu Rusi unconsciously covered his stomach, and Gu Chen suddenly said, "Do you know water?" ”

Fu Rusi nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head again.

He really didn't know if he could water.

Gu Chen glanced at Fu Rusi and pointed to his left: "The water here is not deep." ”

Fu Rusi looked over and found that there was a harpoon made of wood lying on the ground at some point, and when he walked over, his attention was all on Gu Chen, and then he put it on his reflection on the water, and he didn't even find such an eye-catching thing.

Fu Rusi stared at the harpoon for a while and understood what Gu Chen meant.

Gu Chen wanted him to go to spearfish to eat on his own, so as not to starve to death, and if he went to Xu Jiheng's kitchen to find food again, would Xu Jiheng notice that he always lost one or two things to eat, not to mention the more important thing, he would not have leftovers to eat in the kitchen every day to satisfy his hunger.

The two of them don't know how long they will be in this dream, and if they don't let themselves get lost in the dream before they get out of the dream, but starve themselves to death, it will be a little ugly.

Neither can you be too far away from Xu Yun, but also can't starve to death, presumably this is the only place where Gu Chen can find a moderate distance and be convenient for him to satisfy his hunger, compared to going hunting in the forest, it seems that it is easier to come with a spearfish.

This harpoon was probably made by Gu Chen when he was sleeping, Fu Rusi walked over and picked it up and looked at it, feeling a little dazed in his heart.

How does this stuff work? Is he really not going to drown? If he drowned, would Gu Chen come to save him?

He couldn't help but glance at Gu Chen twice, but Gu Chen Shi Ran said, "We are far away from Xu Yun, not for too long." ”

Fu Rusi: "......"

He twisted the hem of his clothes and tied them tightly, then took off his shoes and socks and stepped carefully into the water.

The river water was cold, Fu Rusi shivered twice at first, and then felt that the water was cold and cold, and it was quite comfortable.

He walked over slowly, without disturbing the fish, Fu Rusi clenched his harpoon and stabbed into the water, hitting the target.

Fu Rusi picked up the harpoon, a fish was hit in the abdomen by the fork, and it was still struggling, Fu Rusi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at the shore, Gu Chen had already sat down under a tree by the river, with a pile of firewood in front of him, as if waiting for him to pass.

Fu Rusi's mood suddenly became even happier.

Fu Rusi walked over with a fork fish, Gu Chen glanced at him, and then threw the fire fold to him.

After he raised the fire, cooked the fish, and finished eating, about an hour had passed, and Gu Chen still hadn't eaten, and he got up again and went to the river while he was doing these things, probably because he didn't want to get any taste.

Halfway through, Fu Rusi asked himself suspiciously how he woke up in this place, and Gu Chen said that the scholar might enter the house at any time after getting up early, so he simply took him out.

I have to say that Fu Rusi admired himself a little, Gu Chen took him out and threw him under the tree, and he didn't even notice it in the process.

As the sun grew, Fu Rusi's shoes and socks had already dried, so he put on his shoes, tidied up his clothes again, and then went to the river to wash his face, and sniffed his clothes carefully, but fortunately there was no bad smell.

The two returned to Xu Jiheng's residence again, when Xu Jiheng was drying herbs with his back to them at the door, and Gu Chen pulled Fu Rusi to sit on the branch of a big tree.

Xu Yun was also in the courtyard, he was placed in a basket by Xu Jiheng, still listless, and seemed to be still sleeping.

The basket was placed in a corner of the table, and there was a book next to it, which was turned open and folded, and the owner would come back at any time to continue reading.

Xu Jiheng went in and out of the kitchen twice, and after moving all the herbs out and putting them away, he returned to the table, picked up the book and sat down.

While Xu Yun opened his eyes and glanced at him lazily, he closed them again, Xu Jiheng noticed this movement, and couldn't help but laugh warmly, and said: "You are really spiritual, these eyes seem to be talking, why, don't you want to stay here with me?" ”

Xu Yun shook his tail.

Xu Jiheng looked at him, tried to reach out and touched Xu Yun's tail, Xu Yun immediately raised his head, spit out the snake hyacinth and made a defensive gesture, probably pulling his wound, and hung down softly, before that, he also glanced at Xu Jiheng warningly.

Xu Jiheng sighed and said: "The snake is really a cold-blooded animal, I am about a demon barrier, you are injured like that, you almost don't even have the strength to breathe, but I always feel that I feel something from your eyes... Anyway, this scene is our fate, and after two days, you'll be almost fine, and I'll put you back. ”

After a pause, Xu Jiheng said to himself again: "If you are a poisonous snake, I am afraid I will not be able to save you." ”

Xu Yun didn't respond, and Xu Jiheng no longer paid attention to him, and continued to read the book intently.

After another two days, the daily sunshine is not too strong, the temperature is just right, Xu Jiheng will take Xu Yun out and put it on the table, he is reading a book on the side, Xu Yun will sleep in the basket, occasionally once or twice Xu Jiheng wants to tease him, and he also receives Xu Yun's cold stares.

In the afternoon, Xu Jiheng did not come out again except for cooking or taking the herbs back into the kitchen.

In addition to eating fish in the past two days, Fu Rusi picked wild fruits to eat under the guidance of Gu Chen, and one day Gu Chen went to the river to wash, and he got lost in the forest alone, and Gu Chen's face was already a little pale when he found him. Although Gu Chen hid it well, he still felt Gu Chen's discomfort, probably because he had been away from Xu Yun's side for too long, and since then, as long as the situation allows, Fu Rusi has been following Gu Chen's side.

And Gu Chen seemed to have no sleep, Gu Chen was pretending to sleep before Fu Rusi fell asleep, and after Fu Rusi woke up, Gu Chen had already woken up, and Gu Chen had not eaten anything except for drinking some water in the past two days, which made Fu Rusi curious.

On this day, Xu Jiheng did not appear in the courtyard all morning, and the gate was closed, Fu Rusi asked Gu Chen to know that Xu Jiheng went out early in the morning with a bamboo basket on his back, probably to take the herbs to sell.

It was probably close to noon, when Fu Rusi saw a small green snake drilling out of the crack in the door, and at this time it was crawling out of its head.

After all, he was still injured, and it was inconvenient to move, and when Xu Yun's tail was finally about to be revealed, a shadow suddenly appeared on his body.

Xu Yun looked up and saw that Xu Jiheng was looking down at him.

Xu Jiheng: "......"

Xu Yun: "......"

Xu Jiheng squatted down and said with interest: "Are you preparing to leave?" ”

Xu Yun: "......"

He looked at Xu Jiheng, his eyes suddenly became cold, he opened his mouth and quickly bit at Xu Jiheng's hand, Xu Jiheng didn't expect this, he couldn't dodge, gritted his teeth and prepared to suffer this blow, but there was no pain in his hand.

Xu Jiheng looked over and found that although Xu Yun was still holding his mouth open in his hand, he bit it down, but Xu Yun stopped his movements and retreated.

Xu Jiheng suddenly smiled, he reached out and carefully picked up Xu Yun, just like when Xu Yun was injured that day.

He looked at Xu Yun and said, "I often feel that you are full of spirituality, as if you can understand people's speech, and now it seems that it is not in vain to save you that day, you have not lived up to my kindness." ”

"Your injury is not yet healed, if I let you go today, your little snake can easily be caught and injured again, it's a pity that my medicinal herbs, you, and wait patiently for two more days."
