Chapter VII: Assimilation
"Is there anything else you're uncomfortable with?" Cheng Wei asked while staring at him. He pinched the empty bowl with a hesitant expression.
"Nope." Gu Xixuan shook his head, he looked at Cheng Wei's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and didn't ask him what he was nervous about.
It turned out that the bowl of water was quite useful, and after Gu Xicheng drank it, he went to the pit twice, and his stomach didn't hurt. He lay on Cheng Wei's bed, sweating profusely.
As soon as he wanted to get up, Cheng Wei came in with a basin of water and pressed him on the bed: "Don't get up, I'll wipe you off, you can change your clothes and lie down for a while." ”
Cheng Wei went to take off his clothes as he spoke, his eyes swept over him repeatedly, as if he was looking for something. After confirming that there is none, I will reach out and pick up his pants.
Gu Xixuan squeezed his hand, he blinked slowly, and then said, "Are you sure you want to take off my pants?" I didn't have anything in there. ”
He put away his military uniform, including his underwear. It's not that he wants to play hooligan, but that the biological suit with self-cleaning ability has melted and decomposed irregularly after being exposed to the sun for a long time, and can no longer be worn. The clothes that Cheng Wei gave him didn't have underwear, so he was empty inside, and if he picked it up, it would really be slippery.
He didn't mind, but he felt that Cheng Wei didn't want to see his fruit.
Sure enough, Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and the next moment flushing rose from his cheeks, and in the blink of an eye, it was red to his neck.
"You!" He took two steps back and ran out as if he were running away, a door slamming into the air.
Gu Xixuan stared at the shaking door, scratched his chin, and wiped his sweat himself. He took a closer look at his body and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Although Gu Xicheng played a hooligan verbally, Cheng Wei didn't leave him alone. Gu Xicheng tossed for most of the night, and after sweating, he slept peacefully for two hours, and when he got up, he saw Cheng Wei weaving bamboo baskets in the hall.
"Uncle Hua said that you can't eat hard things yet, there is porridge in the pot, you can only eat this for the past two days." Cheng Wei looked at him and pointed to the stove with his eyes, but his hand didn't stop.
Gu Xixuan sighed, lifted the lid of the pot and saw that there was a big bowl of white porridge warm in the pot.
"You can't eat the pickles next to it, add some salt to it." Cheng Wei saw that he was about to serve pickles, and called him again.
Gu Xicheng paused, obediently put down the pickles, rummaged through the jars on the side, found a few salts, and took the bowl to the hall.
Gu Xicheng sat beside him, the porridge was a little hot, he swallowed two mouthfuls and smacked his lips, there was no taste.
"What were you looking for in me?"
"Imprint." Cheng Wei was silent for a long time before he spoke sullenly.
"What imprint?" Gu Xixuan put the empty bowl aside and squatted down to watch him move.
"Mark of bestiality."
"Huh?" Gu Xixuan paused, he looked up at Cheng Wei, and his eyes sank.
This is the second time Cheng Wei has seen Gu Xicheng like this, the first time was when he threatened him in the town two days ago. It's just that Gu Xixuan's expression flashed at that time, and now there is no mask of a smiling face, and the slaughter makes people a little panicked.
"The Cloud Mirror Country retains the ability to become a beast, and although it is very powerful, its ability to reproduce is very poor. Their wizards like to take strong brat like you and assimilate them into beast warriors who can't think. ”
Cheng Wei glanced at him and then hesitated for a moment and said: "Every year, the surrounding villages have to lose a handful of people, you can escape from the Yunjing Country, and your skills are so good, maybe you are from a family of Jiangmen in the city." ”
Gu Xixuan lowered his eyes, he took the bamboo basket in Cheng Wei's hand, and wrapped the bamboo strips around one by one in the same way as he did, he said: "I'm not, even if it is, no one has come to me for so long, probably don't want me to go back." ”
He couldn't say he had fallen through a rift in space.
Cheng Wei watched his mouth move, and finally didn't say words of comfort, but Gu Xixuan didn't care at all, and it didn't look like he needed comfort at all. What he was most worried about now was whether Gu Xihou would be assimilated, in that case, maybe one day he would turn into a thoughtless and unconscious beast.
At that time, Gu Xixuan had only one way out.
"Why is there only the ability of the Cloud Mirror State to be beast-like?" Gu Xixuan asked with some curiosity. His strength was greater than Cheng Wei's, and under Cheng Wei's guidance, the bamboo basket was wrapped stronger than before.
"I heard that the three countries that are now were a whole country before." Cheng Wei smiled, these legends are only loved by children, and he also listened to his father.
"Legend has it that the beast god opened up this world and gave the people of this continent the ability to beast and reproduce, but after reproduction to a certain extent, people began to kill each other for territory. Later, it was split into the current Three Kingdoms of Yunyue, Yunwu, and Yunjing. ”
These legends are well-known, and after the split, the legend of the beast god was furious, depriving humans of the ability to beast and reproduce. When humanity was on the verge of extinction, he repented and begged the beast god for forgiveness. Later, the beast god thought of a way, reproduction and beastification can only choose one of the two, and the Yunyue Kingdom and the Cloud Mist Country where they are located have both chosen to reproduce, and only the warlike Cloud Mirror Country has chosen to become a beast.
Gu Xigao: ......
He felt like he had fallen into a world of myths and legends, but beastial...... He knew that the military department had been working on this thing.
"I'm going up the mountain in a while, you stay at home, cook your own food when you're hungry." Cheng Wei put the braided bamboo basket outside the house to dry, and explained that Gu Xixuan was going out.
"Your ribs aren't healed yet, I'll go with you." Gu Xixuan stood up and wanted to go out with him.
"How are you?" Cheng Wei looked at him with a look of disease.
Gu Xixuan nodded, that bowl of water was really effective. Although he didn't have much strength on his body, at least he didn't want to run the pit.
Cheng Wei didn't see that there was nothing wrong with his face, and let him follow behind him. This time he went up the mountain just to pick some mushrooms, not far from home, and neither of them was in good health, so he was not going to go into the mountains.
For several days, Gu Xicheng accompanied Cheng Wei to the mountain to pick mushrooms, and it was not until he drank the three pairs of medicines and confirmed that there were no strange marks on his body, and Cheng Wei was completely relieved.
In addition to looking for some mushrooms in the past few days, Cheng Wei has made a few lock covers in the nearby mountains, and he didn't plan to catch anything, probably because there were fewer people going up the mountain when the summer harvest was approaching, but he also caught two little rabbits.
Gu Xixuan showed great curiosity about the rabbit, don't think he didn't know, as soon as he turned around, the tall man pinched the rabbit's ears very quickly. When he entered the house, the man quickly broke the rabbit's hind legs and looked at them one by one.
Cheng Wei: ......
He suspected that Gu Xixuan's IQ might only be four or five years old now, and if it weren't for the threat in the town that was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he wouldn't have been able to coax him in a childish way.
Gu Xixuan was waiting for Cheng Wei to come out with the cage while carrying the ears of the two rabbits, he sat upright on the steps outside the hall, looking at the rabbit in his hand with a serious face.
Except for the pictures in the electronic textbook, he really had never seen a rabbit. This red-eyed, long-eared, limp animal. He had already pinched the rabbit's ears on the mountain when Cheng Wei was not paying attention, and pinched all the way. Seeing that Cheng Wei had entered the house, he quickly opened the rabbit's legs to confirm the male and female of the two rabbits.
It's a pity that he won't look.
The two rabbits barked pitifully in his hands a few times, and even the struggle was saved, and they were pulled all the way, and they didn't even have the strength to call at this moment.
Cheng Wei, who originally planned to raise them for two days and sell them at the market day, thought about it and decided to keep the two little rabbits, although they may not be able to raise them alive.
Cheng Wei expressed his intention to keep the two rabbits when he was eating at night, Gu Xixuan thought for a while and then said, "It's better to sell it, is the family running out of money?" ”
