What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

The next morning, Ren Sha prepared breakfast for Gu Xunzhi.

Yesterday he said that there is nothing for ordinary people to eat here. In fact, it is not difficult to prepare some breakfast on the mountain.

It is already spring now, and all kinds of wild vegetables on the mountain have sprouted. The entrance of the cave faces the sun. Ren Xun casually looked at the entrance and picked a lot.There are fish in the creek next to the cave, Ren Sha hooked his fingers, and the fish jumped out of the water and jumped in front of him.

The only thing that makes people feel troublesome is that there is never any rice in the cave. Fortunately, Xuandu Temple is close, and it is not a favor to go there to pay a little.

Most of the Taoist priests in Xuandu Temple recognized him. The Taoist priest who came to answer the door heard that he wanted rice, so he didn’t ask the temple master, but asked the Taoist Taoist Huogong to pack him a bag and grabbed a lot of it. Give him the dried mushroom fungus.

Back then when Gu Xunzhi first went up the mountain, he couldn't eat bigu either, so Ren Xun and his master took turns cooking for him.Most of the utensils at that time are no longer there, but fortunately there is still a casserole.Ren Zhen cleaned the casserole, put it on the stove that is usually used for alchemy, added some rice and wild vegetables to it, and cooked a pot of vegetable porridge.Then he gutted the caught fish, added some salt, and put it on the grate for roasting.

The white fish in the creek in the mountain is only three inches long, but it is quite fat, sizzling oil on the grate, giving off a fragrance.Ren Zhen took the chopsticks and carefully turned the fish over. While focusing on the fire, she muttered in her heart:

I did this not because I cared about him, but because I was afraid that he would die just like that.

As for whether being afraid of Gu Xunzhi's death can be defined as caring about him... Ren Xun has never considered such a troublesome issue.

He removed the fish with slightly browned skin from the grate, and sprinkled a few sesame seeds on it.

When the fish and vegetable porridge were all ready, Gu Xunzhi also came to Danfang.

He usually gets up very early, but he was really tired yesterday, so he slept until dawn.He opened his eyes and smelled the smell of food, and it took a while for his dysfunctional mind to figure out what was going on.

Brother made breakfast?

It felt so good, like being a kid again.In fact, the senior brother's cooking skills are very unfamiliar, and the meals he makes are not very delicious, but Gu Xunzhi has always eaten deliciously.He slowly got up from the bed, feeling that his physical strength had completely recovered.

Those pills that I ate yesterday were really useful.

After changing his clothes, he came to the alchemy room following the scent, and saw his brother was taking the porridge out of the casserole and putting the bowl in front of him.

"Eat." Ren Xiao said very briefly, "It will take a long time for you to recover to the state of being able to fast. It’s not too difficult to eat alone.”

Judging from the meaning of Ren Sha's words, he probably thought that Gu Xunzhi would stay here forever.

Gu Xunzhi's heart tightened, he didn't reply right away, he just took the porridge bowl and took a sip of the porridge.

The porridge was badly boiled, and the wild vegetables in it were a bit bitter, but not unpalatable, and had a fresh taste of spring.When he was young, Ren Sha often made this kind of porridge for him.He hasn't had it for decades now.

The grilled fish is also delicious. The white fish in the Bikong Mountain stream is particularly delicate and delicious, which is rare elsewhere.For Gu Xunzhi, there was nostalgia in it.

He ate three pieces of fish slowly and drank a bowl and a half of porridge, his stomach was full, and he seemed to have more confidence in his heart.He put down his chopsticks and looked at Ren Sha:

"Brother, actually I don't plan to stay for a long time when I come back this time, I will go back in a few days."

Ren Sha was greatly surprised:

"Go back? Go back where?"

His voice changed obviously, with some nervous taste, Gu Xunzhi swallowed involuntarily:

"I didn't find a suitable opportunity to tell my senior brother yesterday. In fact, in the past few years, I have been working as an aide in Prince Jin's Mansion."

"Staff?"

Ren Xun's voice was very calm, but Gu Xunzhi felt that it was full of danger, which made thin beads of sweat ooze from his forehead, but he still pretended to be calm:

"That's right, a staff member, who usually stays at the master's house and helps out with advice when something happens. In fact, I came back this time under the order of the prince..."

The expression on Ren Sha's face became colder and colder, Gu Xunzhi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally shut his mouth knowingly, waiting in fear for the storm that was about to hit.

Ren Zhen didn't get angry immediately, upon hearing Gu Xunzhi's words, he sneered:

"When you came back yesterday, I only thought you were a cultivator. I didn't expect that you are now a dog kept in the mansion. Master taught you for nothing."

After hearing this, Gu Xunzhi's face turned red and white.He also knew that cultivators like them shouldn't deal with those rich and powerful people in the palace, but he was down and out back then, if the prince hadn't saved his life, he might not be in this world now.

Brother, he stayed on this mountain all day, what does he know?He has been away for so many years, and now when he comes back, the senior brother has not asked him where he has been all these years, obviously he doesn't care, but now he is angry at him for being an aide in the palace, it is really unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Gu Xunzhi felt a little unhappy, and replied:

"I didn't expect my brother to still think of me as a cultivator. Xunzhi only knew that I was already a useless person. The prince values ​​me and treats me courteously. I just want to repay my kindness."

He looked at Ren Sha and said word by word:

"As for my face as a cultivator, I don't mind it anymore, why should I be persistent, brother?"

Listening to Gu Xunzhi's words, Ren Xun realized that this kid has grown up.

He still remembered that whenever the child made a mistake, he would keep his head down and wait for someone to teach him. Now he speaks in a different way, which makes people unable to deal with it.

If it were a sharp-tongued person, he might not be able to retort, but it is a pity that Ren Xun was not good at speaking. At the beginning, he didn't like to deal with people. After thousands of years in human form, he barely learned how to speak human words. When Gu Xunzhi was around, He talked quite a bit, but since then he has been living alone, and his ability to speak has declined a lot.

However, although it is said that Gu Xunzhi can't stand it, Ren Sha is not completely helpless——

He beat up Gu Xun.

The easiest way to deal with this kind of nonsensical kid is to beat him up.Ren Xiao had long discovered that this method was very effective.At least let him learn a lesson.

Gu Xunzhi had no ability to resist in front of Ren Sha, and was subdued by him in less than a minute, pressed to the ground and spanked hard.

Who ever heard of people in their nineties being beaten like this?If someone else had to change, they would have to die in shame and indignation, no, if another 90-year-old was beaten up like this, they might just go to Half-Life directly.However, Gu Xunzhi just slowly got up from the ground, patted the dust on his knees, and looked up at him:

"Brother, have you calmed down? If there is nothing wrong, Xunzhi will go back and lie on his stomach first. The beating just now hurts a lot."

Gu Xunzhi's attitude was too calm, it seemed that Ren Shi was making trouble for no reason.He didn't speak, but stared at Gu Xunzhi.Gu Xunzhi didn't look at him, but bowed his head respectfully and retreated out.

As soon as he left the alchemy room, his expression changed.

The original calm and indifferent expression suddenly disappeared, and Gu Xunzhi began to grin his teeth, hissing in pain.

Although he doesn't look very old, after all, he is in his 90s.There was no spiritual energy on his body, and he couldn't even bring out any real energy to protect his body.It doesn't matter how serious Ren Sha's strike is, if he pushes harder, his legs will definitely be broken.Fortunately, his old bones are still up to date, and he didn't show his timidity in front of his senior brother.

Gu Xunzhi limped back to the study room where he lived, and quickly lay down on the narrow couch, not daring to cover him with the quilt, for fear of touching the wound, he just lay down and gasped.

After taking so many pills yesterday, I just felt better, but I was injured again today... I really don't know if it's good or bad when I come back this time.Brother's temperament is cloudy and uncertain, it seems that it is impossible to tell him what the prince wants.

Gu Xunzhi sighed.

He originally asked the prince for orders, if the matter could not be done, how could he return to the palace?

Although Gu Xunzhi came here specifically to find his senior brother, he never considered staying.It is a kind of painful torture for him to stay beside this young and beautiful senior brother with such a decayed appearance.But if he left here... Apart from the palace, he really had no other place to go.

Gu Xunzhi thought for a while, sighed for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable way.Unconsciously, I thought to myself:

Rather than being so entangled, it would be better to die early.

As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, before he had time to think about it, he heard Ren Xiao walk in.

Gu Xunzhi suddenly became nervous.

In his impression, this senior brother of his has always been quite powerful, and he might possess special spells such as mind reading, which can see through his heart.If I let him know that I have such thoughts in my heart, I will have to be beaten again.

He managed to gather his composure, turned his head to one side and closed his eyes, pretending not to notice Ren Sha.

Then he felt Ren Zhen sitting down next to him on the side of the couch, as if he had opened a small medicine bottle.Gu Xunzhi smelled the medicine and recognized it as Qingyu powder.

It seems that the senior brother also knew that he was playing hard, so he came to give him medicine.

Gu Xunzhi was naughty when he was a child, and he was often beaten by his master and senior brother. Every time the senior brother beat him, his heart ached again, so he took the most effective Qingyu Powder to prescribe him.Qingyusan mixed the wine, and when it was applied to the wound, it was a bit cool, and the brother's hands were also cool.

This probably means that you don't want to be angry with him anymore, right?

Gu Xunzhi relaxed his body and let out a long breath.

The author has something to say: The scene of domestic violence is very tragic.
