Brother Wen's little padded jacket

The door was gently closed, and Wen Chongyuan in the room was still sleeping soundly.

"Second Palace Master, you can be sure that there are Gu worms in his body. However, what kind of Gu can be identified after a bloodletting test may be required."

"...No need."

No one cared more about Wen Chongyuan than Wen Xingyi, Wen Xingyi himself was an expert, if there were other ways, how could it be delayed until now.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Xiangyi still couldn't recover for a while.

It turned out to be the case.

The answer he had been looking for for many years finally appeared in front of him, but he felt absurd and heartbroken.

He even preferred that Wen Xingyi was a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and could not stand the pain of being criticized by others, so he would leave him when Yuque Palace died.

He returned to the room, and in his dream, there was a child crying incessantly, the warm sweater on the bed was dripping with cold sweat, talking vaguely in his sleep.

Xiangyi raised her hand and flipped down the mirror, gently shaking Wen Xingyi awake.

"What... what's wrong?"

Xiangyi wiped his sweat gently, "You're having a nightmare."

"Oh... is that so..." Wen Xingyi blinked his eyes unfocused, "I fell asleep..."

"Yeah." Xiangyi lowered her head and kissed the corner of his mouth, then his eyes and forehead, "Just think about me, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

"...Mmm." Wen Xingyi suddenly stretched out his arms to hug him, and said frankly, "Thank you, Junior Brother...I really, really like you..."

In order to find out what happened back then, Xiangyi left Wen Xingyi in Yuque Palace, and decided to find Wen Xingyi's master, Gu Weichen.

Today's Ying County is very lively, the streets are very crowded, Xiangyi saw Gu Weichen's stall being smashed up from a long distance away, surrounded by a few burly men.He flung himself down to protect Gu Weichen, and scolded, "Who is playing wild here?"

He raised his eyebrows, and as soon as the sword was unsheathed, several people backed away in fright.

Gu Weichen was disheveled, with a bruise on his face, so he pulled him helplessly, "Forget it, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers, let's go."

It was rainy in mid-summer that year, and since then Ying County has been plagued by epidemics. Gu Weichen, who travels around for medical treatment, set up a small stall on the street to treat people for free.At first, it was loved by the local people, and they called out "miracle doctor" and "living Bodhisattva" one by one, and the cured injuries often gave some rice and cloth as gifts in return.

"Maybe it's because they've stayed for too long, they've gotten used to it." Gu Weichen smiled helplessly, and applied some ointment for removing blood stasis on his face.

After the epidemic passed, the other local doctors were no longer interested, but Gu Weichen's small pharmacy was overcrowded every day.Even sometimes in the middle of the night, people often knocked on his door and called him to see a doctor, sometimes it was just a child crying in the middle of the night, anyway, there was no money.

"Senior Gu, this is how good people are being bullied." Xiangyi thought to himself, what kind of master really taught what kind of apprentices, "Then what about those troublemakers today?"

Gu Weichen sighed, "Although I have devoted myself to medical skills for 30 years, there are still times when I am unable to catch up. For example, the son of the county magistrate, who did not pay attention to himself, suffered from a willow disease. I showed him again and again. I couldn’t do anything, and died of a sudden illness last night. They came to smash my stall, called me a quack doctor, and what’s more, they said that I didn’t like that person and deliberately put him to death...”

Xiangyi was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Gu Weichen said it sadly, and covered his heart, "Oh, I'm so sad, I miss my apprentice, I need Wen Yin to comfort and comfort me."

This is not the first time Gu Weichen has encountered such a thing.However, every encounter will deeply shake his belief and his understanding of the world.

He grew up in Tingyun Peak since he was a child, with a heart of hanging pots to help the world, and he is ignorant of world affairs.After his master passed away, he traveled down the mountain, saving lives and healing the wounded everywhere.

More than 20 years ago, after contacting several patients with miasma infestation one after another, he discovered a village trapped by miasma.All men, women and children in the village are physically weak and chilly.

With enthusiasm, he entered the medicine shop in the village to treat the villagers. Unexpectedly, the local villagers were timid and ignorant.

He was heartbroken and repeatedly advised, but was severely injured by the mob.

That was probably the most miserable time in his life, he fled around, and fell down at the entrance of the alley covered in blood like a wild dog.

He thought he was going to die in such an unbearable way, but when he was dying, he felt that someone helped him treat the wound and gave him water.He vaguely opened his eyes, and in front of him was a half-grown child with a tear mole in the corner of his eye.

It was just dawn when he walked out of the alley, and a golden light shone behind the gray edge of the house.

He decided to bid farewell to this place, and even felt a little repentant, and limped around the intersection, only to hear the cry of a child.

A skinny child fell down the steps, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy kicked him to the ground, scolding him for "unclean hands and feet" and "stealing".The child curled up into a ball, hugged his head, and ran away with his head in his arms. It was that kind-hearted child.

Gu Weichen felt sad, as if he had seen his ridiculous, pathetic and pitiful self.

He bought the kid from the drugstore owner and asked him, "What's your name?"

The child's face was dirty, with only white marks showing where the tears slid.Gu Weichen's palm was very warm, he wiped away his tears and smiled, and replied in a low voice, "My name is Wen Xiaocao."

Gu Weichen came back to his senses, "Why don't you guard my apprentice? He is very dangerous now, can you rest assured that he will be handed over to others?"

"He's in Yuque Palace, nothing will happen."

"Then you came to me today because of...?"

Xiangyi replied solemnly, "I already know what happened back then."

"Oh..." Gu Weichen smiled, "So that's the case. Too many things happened recently."

"But I don't understand, senior, why did you lie to me? You once told me that it was because of you that senior brother had to leave Yuque Palace temporarily. Unexpectedly, the next day, all the sects would encircle and suppress Yuque Palace." So many people misunderstood him, thinking that he tipped the news and broke his promise. I thought he was still in the palace and went back to find him and was injured. For this, he himself has always felt guilty. "

"Actually, Wen Yin didn't tell me about Yue Mingji at first. I gradually learned about it over the years. At that time, I thought, anyway, if you don't believe that Wen Yin is such a person, I don't believe it either. My own unspeakable secrets. I don’t want to make up an excuse to prevaricate you, but I just want you to be nice, who knows that he is so stubborn.” Gu Weichen sighed, “But now that you know, don’t you mind it at all? ?”

Xiangyi asked puzzledly, "What do you mind?"

"Wen Yin saved your father-killing enemy."

"He was coerced." Xiangyi frowned in pain, "I never thought that Yue Mingji would become like this, that he would use such despicable means to threaten him with his senior's family for so many years... I thought... ..."

Gu Weichen asked suspiciously, "What do you think?"

Xiangyi lowered her head in embarrassment, "Senior brother has something to hide from me, I knew it a long time ago. His relationship with Yue Mingji is very strange, and I also discovered it. I know that Shen Xiuyan is probably not dead, but I thought... I thought It's just that the senior brother was moved with compassion, but he didn't expect that he was forced to do nothing."

"Compassion?" Gu Weichen thought for a while, "Shen Xiuyan committed a heinous crime, who would dare to feel compassion for him."

"But, I know Xiangxiong. I met Shen Xiuyan when I was young. He was often beaten and scolded by Xiangxiong in public, and he was often injured. Although I hated Xiangxiong to the bone, there was not a day when I didn't want to avenge my father, but I never I never thought that the culprit would be Shen Xiuyan."

"That's right... He and Yue Mingji said at the time that the two of them eliminated evil and punished rape, they were really a model of the family and set an example for others. Whenever Shen Xiuyan was praised, he would say 'less than one ten-thousandth of Yue Mingji'..." Gu Weichen sighed with emotion shook his head.

Xiangyi nodded, "So I thought that senior brother heard his story, and thought that he was already a useless person anyway, he could only live on his last breath, and he could no longer harm the world, so he was saved in a moment of soft-heartedness. So this time someone designed to To lure Shen Xiuyan out, I have never interfered with senior brother, but Yue Mingji actually...!"

"So what are you going to do now?"

"The root of everything lies in Shen Xiuyan. He can be sympathized with, but he cannot be forgiven. If Yue Mingji did something like that, I will let him take out the antidote and set my brother free." Xiangyi stood up like his Chutian sword. The same upright and upright, "As for this self-directed and self-acted scene, there is nothing wrong with it. However, innocent people were involved in retribution, causing Lou Ningkun's tragic death...the black hands behind the scenes will naturally have to pay the price."

Gu Weichen smiled, "Second Palace Master, the world says that you are straightforward and unsophisticated, but I think you are the most transparent and decisive person."

He fiddled with the medicine bottle in his hand, and asked him again, "Anyway, Wen Yin abandoned you back then and saved Shen Xiuyan. It's not an exaggeration to say 'treachery' and 'becoming a tiger'. You really don't blame him ?"

Xiangyi's eyes were firm, without any hesitation from the beginning to the end, "I believe him, it's not his fault."

Gu Weichen's smile deepened, and he raised his hand, "Thank you. Wen Yin is really lucky in his life to meet you."

Xiangyi turned around, "Senior Gu, since you also know that it's too dangerous to hang out alone, I'll take you back to Lingyun Villa. I think Senior Brother Wen still revealed something to cause trouble, and if you don't protect him, that person will also Think of you like I did. Or use you as a threat to put Senior Brother Wen in a dilemma."

"I think...he still cares about the past and won't do anything to me." Gu Weichen shook his head again, "It's hard to say. Anyway, there is nothing worth commemorating here."
