Doutu Continent

Tao Chu: Do you dislike me?

"Thank you, you are such a good person." A weak smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qingzhou's lips, because of being supported, his cold fingers rested weakly on the other's wrist.The already deceptive image is even weaker.

Tao Chu hummed, as a response to Gu Qingzhou's thank you. He turned his face away from the other party, but his ears gradually turned red.

Obviously happy to be praised, but pretending not to care.

In fact, Tao Chu has been used to being complimented since he was a child, and ordinary compliments have made him numb, but he knows very well in his heart that those people are all attached to the Fengyun Mansion, and they all know that he is the young master of the mansion and the eldest grandson of Tao Huazun Only to please him.This is the first time that he has been praised for saving lives.Very novel experience.

Although Gu Qingzhou didn't really need the other party's help, and he would not be in danger without Tao Chu's appearance, he still thanked him sincerely.Tao Chu is able to extend a helping hand to strangers, and he appreciates this kindness when seeing injustices.

The young master of Fengyun Mansion can tell whether it is sincere or false, so he is very happy in his heart.

Gu Qingzhou walked extremely slowly, panting for three steps.Since his serious injury, his body has not recovered well.The recovery of his memory made him mentally endure the pain of the day when he seized his mind.I don't know if I remembered the near-death state that night, or because I sweated too much just now, my body reacted accordingly, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.The cultivation base in the body is even more empty.

Yun Zhixian was right. Although he became a painter, he didn't have a painting heart, and his cultivation could not be replenished as quickly as a normal person.Ordinary painters can recover in half a day, but with his consumed cultivation level, they can't recover within three to five days.

Open the painter's badge with consciousness, and take out the supplementary medicine from the storage space.After Gu Qingzhou ate two of them, his complexion improved slightly.

Tao Chu turned his head for a while, then turned back again, secretly looking at the person supported by him out of the corner of his eye.It further confirmed the guess that the other party was a medicine jar.

In his heart, he was slightly surprised that the other party's appearance was so good. Even if there were three thousand diners in Fengyun Mansion, many of them were Jiyue Qingfeng, and even Lou Yuguan, who was often by his side, was of the thin and elegant type, but seeing the other party was still the same. Can't take my eyes off.

Maybe God is too partial to the other person's appearance, so he gave him a sick and weak body?Tao Chu thought regretfully.The other party's lips were lacking in blood, and his complexion was pale, all of which revealed his unhealthy condition.

Tao Chu didn't like this kind of sick people in the past, because they dragged others down.Even in the past, when I read Xizi holding the heart, I couldn't feel the beauty, but only disliked it, but now I can suddenly understand the feelings of the ancients.

Obviously like a butterfly in the wind, sad and helpless, even walking is difficult, but the waist is straight, the teeth are gritted and the sweat is dripping, so stubborn that it makes people feel distressed.

A pair of clear eyes are always moist and lustrous, full of tears, as if tears are brewing and will fall at any time.Even slightly closing his eyelashes, in his opinion at this time, became an expression of not wanting others to see his fragility clearly.

In an instant, Tao Chu had made up a lot by himself.

He began to regret that he shouldn't have let the bully escape easily.They should be caught and beaten with a hundred lashes, and then their hands and feet should be chopped off to see how the wicked man will do evil in the future!

"Let's stop and rest for a while." Tao Chu held the other's cold hand and said deliberately, "Xie Xiaogu, I'm a little tired." In fact, he wanted to let the other party rest for a while.

"Yeah." Gu Qingzhou nodded obediently with lowered eyebrows, appearing to be well-behaved and sensible, which made Tao Chu feel good.

A person as good-looking as the other party has such a soft personality.

Tao Chu's heart was pounding, and he wanted to get closer and make friends with him more and more.

He admitted that he took the initiative to get close to the other party entirely because of the other party's appearance.Everyone has a love of beauty, if it is an ugly monster.He flicked his horsewhip and drove away in his golden carriage.

After walking for a while, there was an inn not far away. Tao Chu quickened his pace and helped the other party over.When he reached the entrance of the inn, Gu Qingzhou's face turned pale because he was in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper, I want to stay in an independent courtyard for one night." Tao Chu was anxious, and hurriedly threw a golden bean into the innkeeper's hand, the accommodation fee was only a lot more.

However, the innkeeper held on to the golden bean tightly, and said with a painful expression: "I'm sorry, guest officer, this hotel only has a yard, which has been taken over by someone. Can you see other rooms?"

"Then come to the two upper rooms!" Tao Chu said.When he was away from home, he didn't pay that much attention.

The innkeeper said in a discussing tone again: "I'm sorry, guest officer. There is only one room on the first floor left. This shop is small and the specifications and layout of the rooms are all the same. There is no such thing as a room."

"How can I live in one room?" Tao Chu asked displeased.However, he was considerate of Gu Qingzhou's urgent need to find a place to rest, so he reluctantly said, "Take me to see the room first. Xie Xiaogu, please sit down and rest for a while, and drink some tea."

Gu Qingzhou nodded, feeling that this young man was very considerate.But judging by the other party's posture, he is delicate and fleshy, so he might not be used to living in such a remote and simple inn.

It's time to say goodbye to each other.

Tao Chu's reasonableness made the boss smile, and he happily ordered the waiter in the shop to serve Gu Qingzhou tea quickly, and keep him first.He walked ahead to lead Tao Chu the way.

"Please come here, guest!"

Gu Qingzhou watched Tao Chu leave, and sat on the chair drowsily, rubbing his painful head.

He suddenly felt a probing gaze.Looking in the direction of the gaze.The wooden door of the small courtyard that Tao Chu wanted was opened.A strong and dark figure came out from the inside, waved his hand to call for the waiter, and stuffed a few copper coins into the waiter's hand.

"Bring another bucket of hot water and put it in front of the door. Someone will bring it in later." At the same time, the dark and strong man looked at Gu Qingzhou, which seemed to be just a habitual glance, but it was difficult to restrain him. spirit.

Judging by the attire of his attendants, he doesn't look like the owner of this yard.A servant also has such a strong aura?

Gu Qingzhou felt familiar, as if he had seen each other somewhere.

He recalled it a little bit, it was when recruiting students in Hengshui!

At that time, he drank strong alcohol and almost mistook a young man wearing a leather mask for Xie Chunfeng when he was slightly tipsy.This person was also there at the time, standing beside the young man.

So, that young man is in this courtyard?

Zong Hao, the warrior who was recognized, never expected to meet the young master's roommate by chance while staying in the wilderness.After instructing the shop waiter, he turned his gaze back into the yard, and went back without saying a word.

But after him, Shan Xuan who came out to carry water was much smarter.Seeing Gu Qingzhou, he went back and told the young master who he had met.Qin Wuji, who hadn't left the yard soon, knew that Gu Qingzhou was coming.

This inn was never fully occupied, if Qin Wuji hadn't brought a lot of men out this time, there wouldn't be only one room left.

The innkeeper couldn't bear to offend a big client, and he couldn't bear to throw a golden bean casually from the gorgeously dressed young master.

He invited people to the only room, concealing that it was the leftover room after being selected, and said in a flickering manner: "In my inn, every room is the same size and the layout is exactly the same. Can you condescend to me, sir?" Just for one night? My inn is only twenty miles away. I’ll ask the guy to replace all the bedding and bedding with new ones!”

But no matter how he fudged, as soon as he saw the simple layout of the room and the not-so-clean floor.Tao Chu's face turned dark.

"Is there no other better room? What about the place where you live, shopkeeper? Make it free, and I'll give you extra money!"

"Add, add money!" The innkeeper's eyes lit up, and then he said with pain, "I will tell you the truth, I live in the yard myself, and the guests in it paid a lot of money, so I made it free. You are also a distinguished painter, little old man, I dare not neglect. Everything comes first, first come first, I'm sorry, I will change your bedding right now!"

If Tao Chu really wanted to stay, how could he sleep on the bed and bedding provided by the other party?Not even brand new.The ones he brings are better than the ones here.

"How many rooms are there in your yard?" Tao Chu turned his eyes and asked.

"Three rooms! The guest brought two of his subordinates to stay, and the other rooms were also occupied by the people he brought!"

"So it is." Tao Chu understood.It seems that the painters who live in the yard are not short of financial resources and manpower, and their status is different from that of ordinary rich people, so spending money will not work.He didn't want to reveal that he was from Fengyun Mansion, so he could only play the emotional card.

Tao Chu smiled and said, "Since we are both painters and we are away from home, we should help each other. Shopkeeper, my partner is weak and needs a good environment to rest. Go to the courtyard and ask if the guest is willing to vacate a room and come out." ? All the rent is mine!"

Although Tao Chu looked arrogant, he actually had a lot of experience in going out.Don't wrong yourself, don't let yourself fight for power and get involved in unnecessary right and wrong.

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed.For the sake of money, I immediately went to the yard with a smiling face to discuss with the guests.

Tao Chu left the room in disgust, and he felt that the dust on the floor stained the soles of his shoes after staying for a while.

Back in the front hall of the inn, he restrained his eyes full of disdain and arrogance, and sat opposite Gu Qingzhou as if nothing had happened, watching him drink tea with his hands on his cheeks, without any dissatisfaction with the environment of this inn.

How can there be any good tea in the countryside?He is unwilling to enter.But seeing Gu Qingzhou's lips soaked in hot tea and turning bloody, his throat trembled, and he felt a little thirsty after walking all the way.

"Do you want to drink?" Gu Qingzhou picked up an empty cup, lowered his eyes slightly, and offered to pour a cup of tea for the other party.

His thick and slender eyelashes cast shadows around his eyes, and the roots of his eyelashes were stained with moisture.I don't know whether it was smoked by the hot tea or stained by the moisture in the eyes.

Tao Chu suddenly felt that the other party must look good when he cried.It's a pity that along the way, he has initially understood that although the other party looks pitiful and pitiful, he has a tenacity in his bones.

I really want to make him cry.

A thought flashed in his mind, Tao Chu shook his head, sneered at his own thought, and took a sip from his teacup.

not used to drinking...

After holding the poor-quality tea in his mouth for a long time, Tao Chu still couldn't hold back, and blocked his mouth with a handkerchief and spit it out.

"Young Master Tao, thank you for today's matter." Gu Qingzhou repeated the old matter.

"You've already thanked me, so why are you so polite? I'm so embarrassed that I'm so polite." Tao Chu unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, pushed the teacup aside quietly, and never touched it again.

He laughed and said, "I just helped along and didn't do anything. Don't call me Mr. Tao, just call me Tao Chu. When you come up with a name, it's what people call you."

Holding the teacup on his table, Gu Qingzhou frowned and said, "If it wasn't for me, Mr. Tao would be able to reach the next city in no time by driving the carriage, and there is no need to feel wronged that he is entrenched in this place where there is no village in front and no shop in the back." place, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Chu suddenly understood what the other party was going to say, and interrupted: "Isn't this just a shop? Do you dislike me and don't want to have sex with me because you only have one room!"

"The same room is not used like this..." Fortunately, Gu Qingzhou didn't drink water, otherwise he would have spit out.

He still resolutely expressed his intention to part with the other party, "Tao Chu, this is a place where the young master is used to living? I don't want you to wrong yourself. Get in the carriage now, and you will definitely be able to enter the city before dark."

"I'm not wronged, and I'm used to it!" Tao Chu got up and said angrily, "Xie Xiaogu, is it because there is only one room left and you want to occupy it by yourself, so you kicked me out?"

"of course not!"

"Then we'll have sex!" Tao Chu was so angry that he used words indiscriminately again. Gu Qingzhou covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly.

"Who said there is only one room left?" The wooden door of the yard suddenly opened.The young man with his long hair loose and wearing a leather mask came out with two of his subordinates, squinting at Tao Chu with dissatisfaction.After that, he had no other eyes.All eyes were on Gu Qingzhou.

"I would like to give up a room for this handsome painter." He met Gu Qingzhou's gaze, finally met his gaze, and winked at him.
