428 Shallow Night and Deep Cold (2)
After a moment's pause, she poured a cup of hot water and drank it herself. Only then did he vaguely dare to stroke his warm lips again, and think carefully about what this meant. Before today, she had never dared to actually face him. She knew intuitively that he must have met many women before him, and had been courteous to them, and of course—he must have been close to them. She knew there was no way to prove it—this time his sincerity would last a long time, and it would not be a floating wave. She's just-just that she knows that the balance she has always wanted to control in her heart has finally fallen slantingly.
Unconsciously, she got up and went to the dressing table and touched the old wooden hairpin. - He said that he had never given them to anyone else, but - there was not only one pair of pearls in the world. As he laughed at himself, the lights flickered and the knock on the door came again. "Miss Qiu, haven't you slept yet?" Li Wenzhong's voice.
Okra shook the wooden hairpin and approached the door, "What's the matter?"
"That-Shen Gongzi is still here with the girl?"
Okra froze slightly, not knowing how to answer. It was daytime, but now it's night. In the past, he was injured, and Shen Fengming just guarded it, and most of the time at night was handed over to Jinghui, but now, it is difficult to say that he is innocent.
"Miss Qiu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. Li Wenzhong heard that she didn't answer, and hurriedly said, "I just heard the report that Guan Mo has woken up and wants to see Sect Master Shen again." I saw that there was no one in Shen Gongzi's house, so I came to the girl to ask. ”
Okra glanced into the room. Guan Mo woke up - but Shen Fengming fell asleep soundly.
"Originally—it was so late, he should have rejected him," Li Wenzhong smiled, "but I also wanted to come and have a look—blame me for my negligence, and after the girl finished delivering the piano, I thought it was fine, and no one came to report me about taking poison silently—until I heard that the girl wanted charcoal fire, so I came out to ask." Isn't Shen Gongzi here?" he asked here, and he was really a little curious. Shen Fengming was here, of course, he had already spoken - according to several servants, he went upstairs and never came down, always on the second floor in the southeast.
Okra hesitated. Since Li Wenzhong had already gone to the South Building to see it, he couldn't hide anything if he wanted to. He simply told him calmly, "He's here with me, but now that he's asleep, it's inconvenient for me to wake him up." ”
Li Wenzhong said: "Did I hear that Shen Gongzi also gave Naguan Moyun Gong detoxification-is it overworked, so it is unwell? I went to ask someone to prepare some decoction and supplements, and the charcoal fire has also been prepared, and it will be sent immediately." In this case, Guan Mo is there, just ignore him. ”
"Guan Mo......" Okra still groaned, "I probably know about Guan Mo." You call him, and I'll hear what he has to say. ”
When Li Wenzhong heard her say this, he left in response.
When the charcoal basin was placed, Guan Mo also carried it upstairs. The east building is a women's guest house, and it is inconvenient for okra to take care of shen fengming a little while, and he waits on the corridor where the southeast building intersects.
Guan Daiyu stood beside Guan Mo as usual, but at this time he was much quieter and didn't say a word.
"Shen Fengming is not here. Okra got straight to the point, "If you want to come and thank you, I'll take it for him." If there is anything else to say, it is the same with me. ”
Guan silently pointed to the person behind her, and motioned for the person to step away. Okra asked people to wait farther away, and Guan Mo even slapped Guan Daiyu a little bit, asking him to avoid it together.
Guan Daiyu was surprised, "Uncle......?"
Seeing Guan Mo's resolute eyes, he couldn't help himself, so he could only walk away stupidly. There were only two left in the corridor, okra and Guan Mo, and she sneered: "You told your nephews to leave, I'm afraid I can't understand what you say." ”
Guan Mo stretched out his hand, reluctantly picked up a porcelain cup from the stretcher, and said loudly: "You transfer it to Shen Fengming." ”
Okra was taken aback. "Can you talk!?"
Xu hadn't spoken for too long, or because of his injury, Guan Mo's voice was as hoarse as dry paper, and extremely low and weak. He held the porcelain cup in the air, "This is ...... The Gu I was in before. If he wants to detoxify, he can use it. ”
Okra was still surprised in her heart, staring at him and refusing to take it. Guan Mo coughed and cleared his guttural voice a little, and said, "Don't worry, the Gu worm is dead." ”
Okra looked at the porcelain cup, which was used as a water cup in the house of Wuhou Garden, and there was no other container in Guan Mo, so he took the water cup. Looking down in the air, I saw that the Gu thing in the cup was dripping with blood, and the shape was hateful, although I couldn't see the true color clearly under the dim yellow corridor lamp, I could also tell that it was a silkworm. She was terrified in her heart, but Shen Fengming's Gu poison attack was real, and although she hated it, she had to take it. "Why do you keep pretending you can't speak?" she didn't want to look at the cup too much, and put it on the railing, asking in an aggressive tone.
Guan Mo's gaze followed the cup, "Pretend?" his tone was weak and his face was pale, "This thing is the reason why I can't speak." ”
“...... So didn't you commit suicide by taking poison?" Okra couldn't help but glance at the cup again, thinking of Shen Fengming's words in his heart, he couldn't help but feel tempted: "...... This poisonous silkworm makes you unable to speak—does it have something to do with Guan Feizhi?"
Guan Mo's eyes suddenly fluctuated violently, and Okra knew that most of what he was saying, and then probed him: "So you even sent Guan Daiyu away, you don't want him to know about it." ”
Guan Mo's face turned gloomy again, and after a long time, Fang sneered: "Just because I committed suicide by taking poison." There is no way for me to live—let me die as soon as you want, why bother to spare my life. ”
Okra couldn't help but sneer, and sarcastically mocked him: "You feel like you have no way to live so easily—are you really used to fighting and resisting?"
Guan Mo smiled bitterly, "Phantom Life?—— has never been my Phantom Life. Pronouns – not my children either. I'm just a Gu man raised by my father, what can I get? Now in your hands, I'm just a pawn for you. - What can I fight for, what can I resist?"
Okra's heart suddenly fluctuated - originally Shen Fengming just deduced that Guan Fei had not treated him properly, which made him suffer a lot of poisonous pain since he was a child, but if he was a "Gu person" - it was cruel and far more cruel than expected.
She remained silent. "Even if you are a 'Gu person', you still have to call that 'father'? There is no 'father' in the world who can treat his own flesh and blood like this. We- at least not that tormented you. ”
"Yes. Guan Mo said, "If you want to talk about flesh and blood and close relatives - in the end, you used the magic voice to take the life of your grandfather, how can you be different from him?"
Although okra was eager to argue, fortunately, she still remembered Shen Fengming's words, and said immediately: "I won't argue with you." If you want revenge, come to me. But what is worthy of your life in this world, don't you understand it until now?—— why Shen Fengming wants to save your life, don't you understand it until now?"
"I don't understand. Guan Mo said, "The person who should save me never saved me." Someone who shouldn't have saved me, but he didn't let me die. I'm here to ask you what you want from me. You want me to kill and lose - you should see my answer. Even if you don't understand it, Shen Fengming should know that his 'marrow sucking' is used on me, and I have little skill left, even if I survive, I will no longer have the ability to work for him - what is the use of leaving me!?"
"You think he just wants to use your 'skill'?" Okra suddenly turned away and looked at the dusk night outside the fence, "The person who has lost his 'skill' - how can you be the only one...... If you don't survive, how do you know it's useless?"
"'If you don't survive, how do you know it's useless'......" Guan Mo seemed to recall something," this sentence ...... It's been a long time......"
Okra turned her head, "Is Guan Feizhi your own father, why did you turn you into a Gu person?"
"So you don't know. ”
"...... such a thing as 'Gu people', I'm afraid ordinary people can't imagine it. ”
Guan Mo laughed. "I'm a little different from the 'Gu Man' you saw that day. He didn't want to make me a 'thug', but for a special purpose—to—he practiced internal strength back then. ”
"What internal skills do you have to rely on Gu people to cultivate?"
"This—just say it, and you'll know. Guan Mo said. "The most famous use of this internal power in this Jianghu is probably a slap in the face of Suzaku. ”
Okra couldn't help but take a light breath and hold her breath.
Guan Mo said slowly: "It is rumored that your father Suzaku was injured by the cold palm power when he was a child, even if he later became a peerless master, the extremely cold inner strength is rare in the world, and he has never been healed. It's a pity - it's a pity that the three branches were far away from the rivers and lakes back then, and no one understood the Phantom Life Gu Technique. If someone who understood the essence of the illusory life back then took a look at Suzaku, they would have found that the reason why that palm was difficult to heal was not because of some advanced internal cultivation, and the evil cold came from the power of the Ice Gu. My father used a certain method to ingest the power of the Ice Gu into his body, which was combined with his own strength, and turned this extremely domineering power into his own use, and naturally, he was able to use it as palm power. He was originally a phantom rebirth, and it was impossible for him to be superior in Gu art cultivation immediately, if he didn't have this hand, how could he stand out among his peers at a young age, and finally get this position in charge. ”
"The 'use of a certain method' you are talking about is through the 'Gu people' - through you, but at that time, forty years ago?—— you were a baby?"
