Chapter 51: Awakening Consciousness
After saying that, Pei Yungui buried his face in the quilt and stopped talking.
It's a shame that she's really here today.
The atmosphere in which the two get along is rare, and there is a sense of stiffness and discomfort.
No one spoke.
Pei Yungui only hid his expression, revealing a white and slender neck.
Gu Rin was dazzled by the whiteness, and unconsciously looked away, staring at a butterfly flying on the wooden window.
One of them was on the bed, the other was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the sunlight shone through the window paper, outlining a silhouette of extraordinary harmony.
"You can rest first."
Gu Rin took the lead in breaking the silence and got up.
When he saw the other party's dejected look, he somehow suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart.
He frowned, carefully feeling the strange emotions that suddenly surged up in his heart, and there was a little doubt and novelty in his eyes.
It was a ripple in his heart that he had not experienced in the past twenty years, because of others.
That emotion came suddenly, but it only left a faint trace, just like a small pebble accidentally hitting the bottom of the lake, the layers of ripples that rippled on the surface of the lake, and soon fainted again, so fast that Gu Rin didn't have time to catch it, and it disappeared again.
It seems that something has been wrong with me since yesterday.
However, this sudden aberment was no threat to him, and Gu Rin quickly put it behind him, turned around and raised his legs, and was about to leave.
"I'm fine, aren't you going to ask something?" Pei Yungui sniffed and stopped Gu Rin: "If you want to ask, just ask now, and save another trip in the future." Although I am not of great use, I will never pass by when I promise you, and I will answer truthfully whatever I know. ”
Gu Rin paused, turned his head, his eyes were inquiring, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of Pei Yungui's red eyes, and smiled lightly, but his eyes were always dark and dark, "Don't force your composure, apply grease and powder, although the general has something to investigate, he will not take advantage of the weakness." ”
He seemed to think of something, and escaped from his sleeve a can of fragrant carved lockets, threw it on Pei Yungui's bed, turned his head, and looked at the shadows of the trees outside the window.
"This medicine is useful for wound healing, wipe it every day, it will be effective for half a month, if you can trust me, you will use it, if you can't believe it, you can do whatever you want."
Gu Rin muttered, but he couldn't help it, and quietly stroked his left chest, there was a young and vigorous heart in it, which was beating vigorously and rapidly, and the sound fell in his ears, and it couldn't be eliminated.
Somehow, his heart beat faster when he gave the medicine, and he scolded in a low voice: "It's a." He pushed the door open and walked out.
The plan to visit the green house has to be put on the agenda.
A dignified general from the first rank three times and twice to a girl, saying what it looks like.
Pei Yungui touched the medicine and held it tightly, until he felt a clear pain from the cold carved tattoo in his palm, then he sighed and lay on his back on the bed.
After a while, she muttered quietly.
"I didn't force my composure, I applied grease and powder, I was very sober."
The deceased is gone, what is the use of being sad, even if you cry and cry and wash your face with tears, you can't resurrect people.
Unnecessary grief, she only allowed herself to fall into it for a short time, and the rest of the time, she had to use it to do more advantageous things: find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and then personally send them a knife to comfort the souls of the dead under Bo Huangquan.
*
The news of Pei Yungui's assassination was blocked by Gu Rin, and because it was in a deserted suburb, the matter did not go away.
In the past two days, there have been more patrolling soldiers outside her mansion, occasionally running from the south alley to the north alley, seemingly guarding the Gu mansion, but in fact secretly guarding the low mansion next to her.
Pei Yungui lived the days of falling asleep listening to the crisp sound of heavy nails at night, which also became a unique lullaby.
What's more, the song reassures her.
She came back from the suburbs, although she was well protected, but the eight people sent out to assassinate were all dead in the wasteland, and the people behind her may have also learned that she is still alive.
It is not yet known when the next assassination will come, so it is better to be cautious.
Pei Yungui stayed in the house every day, never left the house, and the task of buying things was handed over to Uncle Cheng next door.
Pei Yungui was confused from time to time, and he didn't know which medicine Gu Rin had taken wrong, and his attitude towards her changed directly from the cold of winter to the mild of spring, which made Pei Yungui puzzled.
Tongzi often said that after the quiet weather, there is often a crisis when the city is about to fall, and she seems to be experiencing that tranquility now, always preparing for the wind and rain that Gu Rin suddenly went crazy.
But fortunately, Uncle Cheng is bold and kind, like a normal person, so Pei Yungui's tight strings will not be disconnected so quickly.
During this time, she took a look at Zhao Heng's body, and then Gu Rin buried it.
On the day of Zhaoheng's burial, Pei Yungui only watched from a distance behind her, and it was not until the black coffin was buried that she closed her eyes and suppressed the shame in her eyes.
Zhao Heng died because of her, and the traces of this hint have been deeply imprinted in Pei Yungui's heart.
She turned around to leave, but her eyes suddenly crashed into Gu Rin's tall and slender body not far away.
Pei Yungui's eyes flashed, and he bowed slightly.
"Thank you for the general's blessing these days, and Uncle Zhao, thank you for preparing for him."
"Not necessarily." Gu Rin looked at the coffin that had been buried in the distance, and said lightly: "The reason why he was killed was also due to me during the period, and it was just to take care of his funeral, which was far from being able to offset my mistakes." ”
Surprise flashed across Pei Yungui's face.
These words were not within Pei Yungui's expectations.
With Gu Rin's temperament, the burial of Zhao Heng should not be because of his guilt, there must be other reasons.
It's not that Pei Yungui speculates about people's hearts with malice, but Gu Rin's nature is so cold-blooded, and every thing he does is mixed with interests.
So these days, Pei Yungui is also puzzled, she doesn't understand why Gu Rin came over to save herself, and didn't ask for any "reward", and the various arrangements afterwards can even be described by the word "intimate".
This really didn't look like what she knew Gu Rin was doing.
Gu Rin suddenly smiled coldly, "What does this expression on your face mean?" Surprised I would do such a human thing? ”
Pei Yungui raised his eyes suddenly, immediately hid his surprised look, and said, "Yungui didn't mean that. ”
Gu Rin seemed to be interested, and suddenly asked, "Pei Yungui, I will be very curious, in your eyes, what kind of image am I?" ”
He walked under the banyan tree covered with greenery and looked down at Pei Yungui.
Pei Yungui was a little uncomfortable by him, pinned the broken hair in his ear behind his ear, and stared at a green shoot in the treetops.
Gu Rin stared at her with burning eyes, as if she was going to burn a hole in her face before she would give up, Pei Yungui had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Witty and wise, Shenwu, Wenneng and martial arts are high and powerful, General Gu, you are such an image in the eyes of the little girl." ”
Gu Rin sneered and said, "When I say this, I'm afraid even Miss Pei herself won't believe it." ”
Pei Yungui opened his eyes and muttered in his heart: You also let you say it, and you don't want to believe it, what do you want her to do, confide in the truth that you are a big pervert?
Gu Rin saw that people stopped talking, so he opened another topic, "Miss Pei still remembers the agreement written on the letterhead." ”
Pei Yungui looked at Gu Rin, it seemed that he was going to get down to business with her.
"Yungui naturally remembers, the general can ask whatever he wants."
"Okay." Gu Rin replied, he restrained the light smile on his face, and there was no expression on his face.
His facial features are deep and gentle, but he has a pair of sharp phoenix eyes, and when he laughs, he has the handsome grace of a son, and when his face is expressionless, he gives people a sense of coldness and solemnity.
In fact, Gu Rin's face is usually full of smiles, even when he kills, his lips are bent, Pei Yungui has rarely seen his expression, and he can't help but guess in his heart, what Gu Rin wants to ask this time, what is going on.
"It's a ridiculous question, but it's very important to me." Gu Rin asked lightly, "I want to know, does Miss Pei have the ability to predict the future?" ”
Pei Yungui's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Gu Rin in surprise, and after a long time, he spoke with difficulty, and replied: "General's question is really ridiculous, Yungui is just an ordinary person, and he is not a Da Luo Jin Immortal, how can he have the ability of an unpredictable prophet?" ”
Gu Rin suddenly took a step forward, bowed his head slightly, his chin was only two fingers away from the top of Pei Yungui's hair, and his tone became aggressive, "What did Miss Pei promise me, don't forget, you say that you know everything, you will answer truthfully, is it difficult to regret it?" ”
Pei Yungui only felt that his scalp was numb, and he took a few steps back and distanced himself from him.
Gu Rin had already begun to doubt, did it mean that he had really awakened his consciousness?
Can villains really awaken their own consciousness? What if you wake up, will it change the direction of the plot?
Pei Yungui didn't dare to guess any further.
"How can the general be sure that Yungui has the ability to predict the unknown?"
"Miss Pei, don't reverse the subject and guest, now Ben is asking you, you just need to answer, yes or no."
Pei Yungui gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "No." ”
Gu Rin's scrutinizing gaze came faintly.
"I don't know why the general has that kind of suspicion, but what Yungui said is true! Take the accident that happened not long ago, if Yungui has the ability to predict the unknown, how can he set foot in the suburbs? Isn't this a gamble with your own life! ”
Gu Rin retracted his gaze and squinted, as if he was measuring the truth of Pei Yungui's words.
After a long time, he spoke again, "Okay, Ben will believe you, the second question ......"
Pei Yungui stared nervously at Gu Rin's lips that opened and closed, every word he spit out was a trial of her, Pei Yungui was afraid that Gu Rin would spit out some shocking questions again.
