Atypical Redemption [Fast Wear] v. 176
"I'll see it, even if I can't see it, I'll be with you."
Lin Zhi's fingers stroked Qi He's hair and said what he wanted to hear.
The water in the barrel shook because of the young man's movements, and the water waves slapped on Qi He's shoulder blades.
He felt Lin Weaving's right hand wrap around his shoulder and give him a brief hug.
The heat of his body enveloped him as he approached, and he retreated away.
"Don't worry, since you call me Master, I won't leave you."
Lin Zhi patted Qi He's shoulder, raised his hand and flicked some water droplets on his face.
A little bit of heat rolled down Qi He's cheeks, bringing a slightly itchy touch.
On the slightly cold spring night, emotions piled up towards Qi He's heart, engrave all this.
Qi He raised his hand to wipe the water droplets from his face, and nodded at Lin Zhi with a smile.
This was the first smile he had shown since he and Lin Zhi met, and it made him a little less sad between his immature eyebrows and eyes, and he was exceptionally pure.
The corners of Lin Zhi's lips also curved, and then he said with some regret: "If only my ghost uncle were still alive, he would definitely be able to cure your eyes." ”
"Uncle Ghost?"
Qi He's face showed some curiosity that was in line with his age, and he was curious about the strange things that appeared in Lin Zhi's mouth.
Even if he has read a lot of books and listened to a lot of stories, Qi He is still young after all, he has never been far away by himself, he knows nothing about this world, and he is also very interested in the mysterious Gu Sect that he does not know about the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains.
Lin Zhi picked the topic and said to him, so as to avoid his thoughts being in hatred.
"Ghost doctor Yan Sangen, until more than ten years ago, he was still a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, of course, for the famous and decent, he is not a good person, because he saves people by mood, he does not charge money, sometimes he has to leave some painful sequelae as a medical fee, of course, if I come forward, he will definitely not be like this, but unfortunately, he died when I was a child."
Qi He asked puzzledly: "Why does he charge such a consultation fee?" ”
In Qi He's cognition, doctors will try their best to make patients heal, why are there such strange doctors.
"I don't know, it may have something to do with his past, but no one knows or is curious, after all, we are not righteous people, and it is not strange to do anything."
Lin Zhi said quite jokingly, and picked out some things in his memory about the rivers and lakes and told Qi He.
Qi He listened attentively, and it wasn't until he was called by Lin Zhi that he hid in the screen and dressed with some regret.
Lin Zhi dried Qi He's hair with internal force, brought the child to the bed, let him sleep in it, and picked up the lamp to go to bed.
Before going to bed, Lin Zhi probed Qi He's pulse, Qi He's meridians were smooth, and he was an excellent martial arts wizard.
Qi He asked with some apprehension: "Master, I have already practiced the Hengduan Internal Skill to the second level, will it have any effect?" ”
Learning martial arts can not be miscellaneous, this is the common sense of people who practice martial arts, different exercises have different tricks, and more exercises are incompatible with each other, it is easy to be confused when learning miscellaneous, the light is retrograde qi and blood, and the meridians are damaged, Qi He doesn't know what Lin Zhi wants him to learn, but he is worried that the exercises will conflict.
"It's no big deal, your meridians are tougher and wider than ordinary people, and there is no damage."
Qi He replied in a low voice, not looking excited.
Lin Zhi looked at the child's head at night and asked in a casual tone, "Are you not happy?" ”
"I'm glad, my grandfather told me before, and said that he would teach me all his life, and now ......"
Qi He turned his back to Lin Weaving, with a slightly nasal voice.
Lin Zhi patted his arm lightly, silently relieved.
The reason for the Qi family's demise is a mystery, and it is also true for him.
01 did not mention it in the information given, and he needed to explore it himself.
Qi He is still a child in the end, no matter how much he considers it, there are omissions, if Qi He doesn't know anything about the cause of the family's misfortune, then he will definitely explore as much as possible, but whether it is meeting in the small courtyard, or whether he dug him out of the coffin until now, Qi He has not asked a word, and even deliberately avoided talking about it.
If he didn't say it, Lin Zhi naturally wouldn't ask.
For Lin Zhi, it is better for Qi He to know than not to know.
In the middle of the night, Lin Zhi felt the child next to him trembling.
Lin Zhi heard Qi He crying out in pain in a daze, lit the lamp and saw Qi He's slightly purple face, knowing that this was the sequelae of taking the fake death Gu Pill.
He needed to take Qi He back to Miaojiang to clear it, he fed Qi He a detoxification pill to relieve his pain, and sealed the acupuncture points in his heart to prevent the residual poison from flowing, holding Qi He, who was so cold that his teeth were trembling, and let him sleep close to himself.
Qi He dreamed that he was unable to walk an inch in the dark, the cold wind penetrated his body, turning into fine needles and tightly piercing his body, he didn't know where he was, maybe he was in the organ that his mother hurriedly stuffed, or in the coffin where he couldn't hear a sound, he couldn't move.
He suddenly felt a burst of heat and pressed against it.
Lin Weaving didn't sleep peacefully, in the second half of the night, Qi He seemed to be nightmared, trembling and shouting 'father', 'mother' and 'grandfather' in his mouth, he didn't cry, just shed tears without saying a word, and the wetness soaked Lin Weaving's clothes.
Lin Zhi had no experience in coaxing children, so he could only hug Qi He tightly and give him a little internal force to make him comfortable.
The next day, Qi He woke up from his sleep a little groggy.
After not seeing, he used to perceive his surroundings with his sense of touch, and subconsciously groped.
Touching the soft cheeks made Qi He startled, and when he realized that it was the master lying next to him, Qi He withdrew his hand in a panic, not daring to touch it.
He remembered that he slept with his back to the master last night, and how he woke up in the master's arms.
Qi He was a little embarrassed, because his vision was limited, he didn't dare to move, so he could only wait quietly for his master to wake up.
It was at this time that Qi He smelled a sweet fragrance, which made it difficult to describe this aroma with body temperature, and he only felt that it smelled good.
Lin Zhi woke up when Qi He touched his face, and after looking at the quiet child for a while, Lin Zhi got up and dressed, and asked Xiao Er to fetch water.
After washing up, Lin Zhi asked Qi He, who was pretending to be asleep, to get up.
Qi He can dress himself, but it is a little difficult to tie his hair, Lin Zhi helped him take care of it, led him to wash, took him to sit at the table, and ate the breakfast that Xiao Er sent in.
Qi He ate Gu Dan and lay down for a few days, he could only eat some light, Lin Zhituo Xiaoer bought chicken soup wontons not far away, and asked for a cage of shrimp dumplings, a bowl of porridge, and a bowl of soy milk, so that Qi He could choose what he liked to eat.
Qi He held the porridge bowl with a spoon, and Lin Zhi gave him what he ate.
"Try the wontons too, it's just that the white porridge is nothing to taste."
Lin Zhi took the porridge bowl in Qi He's hand, and used another small bowl to scoop the wontons and distribute them to Qi He.
Lin Weaving didn't share food like this before, even if the family declined, he would still let him take etiquette lessons, plus he didn't like to be so close to people, he didn't change these habits when he first started doing tasks, but later he changed in front of his lover little by little, and became a little intimate.
And Xie Qing is most enthusiastic about sharing food like this, even if he doesn't need to eat, Xie Qing will still buy food for him, and as if he thinks that what he has in his hand is more delicious, he always has to exchange it with him, saying that this way he can taste more delicious.
Lin Zhi didn't know what Qi He liked, so he wanted him to try more.
He didn't ask Qi He what he liked to eat or what he was afraid of, according to Qi He's character, he would definitely only say that he was not picky and would not ask too much.
Qi He obediently held the bowl to eat, he couldn't see it, the person was small, and his movements were slower.
Lin Zhi didn't urge him after eating, and went to clean up his things first.
As a Gu master, Lin Zhi had a lot of things on his body.
He opened the porcelain vase, and the crimson Gu worm crawled out without much energy.
As a Wang Gu, it needs more essence blood, and Lin Weaving hasn't fed him well these days, but today is different.
Lin Zhi made a very small but deep cut on his wrist, watching the Gu worm crawl in, Wang Gu crawled out quickly after being fed, the Gu worm that was originally a little bright and dull now has a bright red shell, and it is a little restless.
Lin Weaving put it back in the bottle and sprinkled a little powder on the wound.
"Master, are you hurt?"
Qi He smelled the smell of blood, and walked towards Lin Zhi with some nervousness on the table.
"No, let's go when we're full."
Lin Zhi had already prepared the car, and when he went downstairs, he put Qi He on his back and went to the shopkeeper to get the rest of the room fee.
The shopkeeper also asked with special concern: "What's wrong with your brother?" ”
Lin Zhi explained with a smile: "It's okay, the child is playful and broke his leg." ”
Qi He lay on Lin Zhi's back, pretending to be depressed, so that others could not see his face.
After taking a bath together last night, Qi He didn't feel embarrassed anymore, lying on the master's not too generous shoulder, looking relaxed.
Father and mother all said how inhumane this kind of demon sect is, and it is not necessarily true when they think about it, although I don't know if the reason why the master helped him is a whim, but the master is very gentle with him.
"Boys are always naughty, and Dr. Liu of Renchun Hall is a street away, so you can take your brother to take a look."
"Thank you."
Lin Zhi thanked him and left, his habit of doing things is not leaky, even if someone comes to inquire, it is just a younger brother with an injured foot, and Qi Xiaogongzi, who is blind and dead, has nothing to do with it.
When he brought Qi He out that day, he had already prepared a corpse similar to Qi He's body, and changed into Qi He's clothes after being infected with Gu poison.
When the carriage left the city, Lin Zhi informed Qi He.
Qi He glanced back in the carriage, lowered his head, and clenched his fists.
Daddy, mother, the child will definitely come back.
In February, willow branches spit out young shoots.
Wucheng is not particularly far from Chunyi, and the carriage arrived in half a day.
Lin Zhi had already rented a small courtyard here and took Qi He into the house.
Qi He stumbled and wanted to get familiar with the layout, and Lin Zhi led him to sit in the house.
"We'll only stay here for a while, and we'll be gone soon, and you sit in the house and wait for me, and when you're thirsty, there's water, and when you're hungry, there's pastry, and I'll go out and wait for me to come back."
Qi He nodded and didn't ask anything.
He had good ears, and he heard the sound of Lin Zhi closing the door and closing the courtyard door.
With pastries at hand, Qi He didn't have much appetite, lying on the table and waiting for the master to come back.
The weather was getting dark, and Qi He couldn't feel the change in light, but only felt that Lin Weaving had gone out for a while.
He heard the door open and got up from his chair.
However, there was more than one footstep, and Qi He stood in place without moving.
The footsteps were heard in the courtyard, and Qi He was relieved when he heard Lin Zhi's voice.
"Tell me the whereabouts of Heart Control Gu."
Lin Zhi looked at the woman dressed as an ordinary woman in front of him and played with the silver bell in his hand.
He asked people to introduce the woman into the alley, and the prepared poisonous powder paralyzed the woman's body for a while, the woman didn't dare to reveal the identity of the Gu master, there were not many things on her body, and her insects didn't dare to appear under Wang Gu's coercion, and after Wang Gu got into her body, she could only follow.
