"Huaiyan, can you carry me outside to watch the sunrise?"

"Can't!"

"Hey~~ You are not righteous, I was wounded by a knife and poisoned...... I'm so miserable, what's wrong with you watching the sunrise on my back? ”

"You have good legs, go yourself!"

In Lu Qingyuan's medicine house, Lou Shenghao, who was becoming more and more lazy, slowly got out of bed in sleepy eyes, and after hearing the sound of the sword carving on the wood, he shouted and asked Gu Huaiyan to carry him out to watch the sunrise.

After being rejected repeatedly, he simply turned over and fell to the bed and played a scoundrel: "I slept and my legs were numb, and I couldn't go anywhere......"

"Then I won't carry you!" It was not difficult to hear from Gu Huaiyan's tone that there was no room for negotiation in this matter.

Lou Shenghao, who did not have the demeanor of the Demon Emperor in the slightest, muttered very dissatisfiedly: "Why? I'm a patient! Do you still have sympathy, I just want to see the sunrise, and I don't want your friend's life." ”

After complaining, he kicked and tore the curtain on the bedpost.

Listening to the sound of "tearing" and the continuous sound of "humming" in the house, Gu Huaiyan first sighed helplessly, and then split the door of Lou Shenghao with the seal knife in his hand, and the warm sunshine filled the whole room.

"Because it's about to have lunch, it's impossible to watch the sunrise, so it's a good choice to come out and bask in the sun. ”

Although he was a little unwilling, Lou Shenghao still walked outside the door under the temptation of the fragrance of rice, and saw the sawdust all over the ground and the small wooden horse beside Gu Huaiyan at a glance, and his eyes immediately bloomed.

"Is this what you did? It looks so cute, but this is ...... Inevitably, some of them are small, and it is really inconvenient to sit on people. ”

Lou Shenghao's hand only touched the ear of the little wooden horse, and Gu Huaiyan reminded: "You move gently, don't break it for me, this is for my child." ”

After hearing this, Lou Shenghao pinched the horse's ears fiercely before saying in a nonchalant tone: "It's just a Trojan horse, it's so stingy!"

After chuckling, Gu Huaiyan suddenly held back all his smiles, and said to him very seriously: "Shenghao, why don't you give up being the supreme martial arts and live a down-to-earth life as your own son!"

Lou Shenghao waved his hand at him without thinking, and his brows furrowed: "Don't impose your thoughts on others...... You are content with the status quo and just want to enjoy family fun with your wife and children, that is your freedom, and I am neither envious nor jealous. ”

After a sneer, a worried Gu Huaiyan discussed with him: "Can't you give up this kind of thought? Even if you become the supreme martial arts master, what's the use? Isn't Bailichuan's fate enough to alert you? He has the power and status that most people dream of, but what is the result? He is still defeated. ”

After a pause, his tone softened again: "If you don't want your martial arts and reputation to be buried, it doesn't matter, you can be a hero who fights with a sword and goes to the end of the world...... I can even accompany you to hoe the strong and help the weak, and do some modest help for the people in the world. ”

After hearing his words, Lou Shenghao glanced at Gu Huaiyan with an extremely strange gaze, and then sneered.

"Huaiyan, are you crazy! Do you think I will be the kind of person who hoes the strong and helps the weak, and does his best for the common people in the world? Besides, I am not the same as Bailichuan...... After he succeeded to the throne, he should immediately eradicate all those who disobeyed him, including Yunshu and Zhongli Fanjie.

He dreamed of getting your father's slash and trick, so he should take it as his mission to kill you. Although you were just a child back then, you are Gu Jinghong's son after all, and you will eventually become a disaster in the future...... As it turns out, you did play a big part in bringing down Bailichuan.

Since he didn't see your corpse back then, he couldn't hastily confirm that you were really dead, so he had to continue to search! Even if he met a little boy with a similar face to you, he shouldn't be merciful. I'd rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go!"

Knowing Lou Shenghao's character early on, Gu Huaiyan was not surprised, but shook his head helplessly: "It's really worthy of being the Netherworld Demon Emperor, he is really ruthless, and he doesn't even let go of a child." ”

Lou Shenghao immediately retorted: "If Bailichuan sent someone to kill you back then, why would he provoke today's disaster? Just imagine, if Yunjiabao and Zhongli Villa were all killed by him, would he have ended up in such a miserable end?"

"If someone doesn't approve of you being the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, will they also become the soul of your sword?" Gu Huaiyan asked sharply.

Lou Shenghao didn't answer, because he didn't want to disturb the rare peace, so he sat next to Gu Huaiyan and talked about the past: "Since I was sensible, my father has continuously instilled in my mind the idea of 'winning the first'. He said that if a person lives a lifetime, he must go to the pinnacle position, and this life will not be wasted.

After my father died, my grandfather always mentioned these words, and I dare not forget them! Have you ever thought about it...... After sticking to the faith for more than 20 years, how can you say that you will give up?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Huaiyan nodded vigorously: "In the more than ten years in Yunyang Mountain, I have no other thoughts than to take back the Shocking Slash. If I hadn't met such a group of close friends after stepping into the rivers and lakes, my next life would have been long and boring!"

With the curling smoke on the stove, Lou Shenghao asked meaningfully: "Do you regret coming to this world?"

After shaking his head slightly, Gu Huaiyan replied, "I don't regret it......!" It would be great if, when people were in their mother's womb, they had the right to choose whether or not to be born into this world. ”

Lou Shenghao agreed with his statement and added: "If people have the right to choose their fate when they are in their mother's womb, people like Jinchen and Leng Guang should not be willing to come to this world for a while!"

At the mention of Lou Jinchen's name, Gu Huaiyan's heart suddenly tightened: "Jinchen...... Although her fate is shallow, it is not all bad. Even though I haven't been in contact with her for long, I can feel that she is not happy.

In the years when I was making eyeliner for you in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, relying on a strong smile every day to please those who made her feel disgusted, it must be better than death. ”

Lou Shenghao lowered his head, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of sorrow and sorrow: "If she was born in an ordinary family, she should marry and have children and live a plain and happy life now!

You are like this, I am like this, and so is Jinchen...... was born in the Lou family, this is her life. If I could do it all over again, I would still send her to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. ”

Gu Huaiyan said with great firmness: "I don't believe that fate is immutable! People are not mayflies at the end of their lives, isn't having so much time used to change their fate?"

Lou Shenghao opened his mouth without warning: "If your father is just an ordinary fisherman and herdsman, instead of the alliance leader of the Eight Directions, the two of us will not know each other, right?"

Gu Huaiyan said: "If there are so many 'ifs' in life, can it still be called life?"

Lou Shenghao asked thoughtfully, "What do you say life is?"

Looking up at the clear blue sky, Gu Huaiyan replied seriously: "Everyone's understanding is different, but I think ...... Life is a book that you can never close when you open it.

The book is blank and needs to be filled in with a steady stream of content. Those contents are undoubtedly the experiences of our lives during this large period of life from birth to death. Because everyone's life experience is different, correspondingly, the story of each book is very different. ”

Lou Shenghao said with a smile: "Not only is the story of each book very different, but the thickness of each book is also different! Some people can live to the end of their lives, but some short-lived ghosts die without even marrying their daughters-in-law." ”

After hearing this, Gu Huaiyan continued: "Some of the stories in the book may be short, but they can be very exciting. For example, if you write a full sheet of paper with 'I'm full', it's not as good as a sentence 'The meat buns are delicious'. ”

Just as the two of them were sitting in front of the stove discussing life, Lu Qingyuan, who was carrying a basket full of ingredients, slowly walked in from outside the door: "I seem to have heard some of you mention meat buns, didn't you know in advance that I bought meat buns at the market?"

After seeing Lu Qingyuan, the happy Lou Shenghao immediately stood up, raised his feet and walked towards the dining hall: "You are finally back, now you can finally start eating! ”

After intimately helping Lu Qingyuan unload the basket on his body, Gu Huaiyan couldn't help but be full of curiosity and asked: "You set off for the market early this morning, why did you return at this time? But did you encounter any difficulties on the way and delay the trip? I and Shenghao have stayed with you for several days in a row, and I can't do anything for you, I really feel very embarrassed."

If you need to sell it in the market, you can leave it to the two of us to take full responsibility, and you can rest in the medicine store. ”

Lu Qingyuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Gu Shaoxia's words are wrong! The reason why the old man returned late was not because of delay, but because he was greedy and watched the martial arts competition for a while. Because their competition is so exciting, they have been seeing it now. Let you worry about the old man, I'm really embarrassed. ”

An inexplicable bad premonition swelled up in his heart, and Gu Huaiyan hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask Doctor Lu, what kind of martial arts competition you are talking about, where is it held, and who are the people who came to the competition?"
