Small wood

The speed of the carriage was faster than usual, the sky was slowly getting dark, and the rain was falling again. Amu raised the curtain and looked out, just in time for a drop of rain to fall into his eyes, causing him pain and pain. Shit, he closed his eyes and blinked vigorously, shrunk back and sat down.

"Young master, it's raining heavily, sit still, I'm going to give you a few whips." The groom shouted loudly outside.

A Muen made a sound, and grabbed the wall of the car.

When the car slowed down, Amu's hands were sore.He jumped out of the car against the rain and walked in like the wind.

"Young master! Umbrella! Umbrella!" The coachman called him from behind. Amu heard it, but didn't return. He only wanted to see Gu Lin soon, so he held his breath and rushed forward with all his strength.The rainwater was warm and damp on his body, and the soil under his feet was washed out of the earth, and it was very fragrant.

He looked at the two sugar figures in his arms, and the corners of his mouth curved.

I don't know if Mr. Gu has eaten this.

He heard Qian Sheng's words, and he also guessed Gu Lin's identity. When he was at Uncle Tong's house, there was a family with a big surname in the city who was ransacked and beheaded, even the servants in the house were not spared. At that time, Gu Lin After the hearing, he was so ill that he almost couldn't be saved.Later, Amu couldn't remember what the surname of the family was, so he forgot. Now that he heard Qian Sheng tell the story, he guessed that the Lin family was the one that was ransacked by the new emperor.And Gu Lin should be the third son of the deceased old emperor.

He didn't expect that Gu Lin would have such an identity, but he was only shocked for a moment, really only for a moment, what he paid more attention to was San'er's childhood that Qian Sheng mentioned.

He had already felt sorry for Gu Lin when he heard how Gu Lin was beaten when he was a child but was so stubborn that he didn't know how to say anything, so in the days when they got along with each other in the future, he didn't care how much Gu Lin was a person who made others fear him, but just treated Gu Lin as usual. He, Mr. Gu is Mr. Gu, the one brought back by his mother and taken care of by him.It was Mr. Gu who would not implicate him even if his own wounds were ruptured, and even blocked the stabs in the back for him.

The rain was heavy, and the boots under his feet were filled with water and creaked, but Amu didn't care at all. He bent his back, protected the sugar man in his hand, and ran fast.

He first saw the peach tree in the yard, which was in bloom for ten miles, reflecting the peach color, the petals filled with rainwater and fell in large swaths, the incense was still burning in the windows of the house, but the smoke was floating horizontally, making the yard foggy. And Gu Lin stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, almost hidden in the rain.

He was holding a cloth umbrella, and the rain hit it with a distorted and pleasant crackling sound, because he was so low that he couldn't see his face clearly, and the coarse white clothes on his shoulders absorbed the moisture in the air, turning it into a heavy gray. The color of the boots under his feet is also much darker. I don't know how long he has been standing.

Amu didn't know what was wrong with him, he was running so fast just now without being hot and out of breath, but when he saw Gu Shi, he seemed to be suddenly hung on the edge of a cliff, only being held by a thin rope, screaming. His heart was so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest, no matter how fast and heavy he breathed, he couldn't relieve the overwhelmingly strong feeling, and it might be easier to let someone scratch his heart directly with his hand.

Maybe the sound of Amu's water-filled shoes running over was too loud. Gu Lin heard it, and he slowly raised his umbrella to reveal his sight. After seeing clearly that it was Amu, he walked over.

But Amu didn't let Gu Lin take a few more steps, he rushed up with two big strides, and threw himself into Gu Lin's arms.

"Young Master Gu!" The movement was loud, but the voice was as soft as a mosquito. Gu Lin's umbrella had accumulated a lot of water, and it was shaken by Amu, and the water splashed down. He raised his hand to cover Amu's head, as if It was supported by a small shed to prevent water drops from falling on Amu.

But Amu was already drenched, no matter whether he was wet or not, he shook his head like a puppy, and the bun on his head loosened, turning into frizzy and wet messy hair. Sticking to his white and tender face, it curled up indiscriminately.

Gu Lin looked at Amu, frowning slightly, holding an umbrella, and took Amu back to the house.

When he arrived at the house, Gu Lin didn't even close the umbrella, he threw it aside in a hurry, found a towel and wiped it on A Mu's head.

Feeling the itchy touch on his head, Amu blushed, his eyes were bright like two water grapes, and he grabbed Gu Lin's sleeve: "Mr. Gu, I will do it myself."

Gu Linli ignored him and continued to wipe without saying a word.

Only later did Amu realize that Gu Lin was a little angry. As for why he was angry, Amu was still a little confused. He shook his feet and thought for a long time before whispering: "I met Qian Sheng when I went to the temple today. It's been a long time, and it's too late to come back, Mr. Gu couldn't wait, so he came out to pick me up." Amu said with a smile, his wet hands grabbed the man's sleeve, wiped it dry, and then put his head on the man's clothes rub.

Gu Lin hugged Amu who looked like a puppy, stroked his hair for a long time, and asked softly, "What's wrong."

Amu is also close to him on weekdays, but she wouldn't hug him like this.Maybe he also thought it was a bit strange, Amu raised his head with a blushing face, looked at Gu Lin with teary eyes, and took out the sugar figure who was under his clothes.

The sugar figurine was softened by the rain and body temperature, and when it was taken out of the clothes, the sugar figurine was still pulled, but the appearance of the sugar figurine hadn't changed much, it still looked like the round Amu.

Gu Lin's calm face was rarely filled with emotions, such as curiosity, surprise, and joy that couldn't be concealed.He took it with his hands, looked it over and over again, and finally stared at the smiling face of the sugar man without moving.

Having been with Gu Lin for a long time, this man pursed his lower lip, frowned, and even blinked his eyes, Amu could roughly understand the emotion.In the eyes of outsiders, it's just a small expression that can't be smaller, but in Amu's eyes, it can be guessed almost exactly.

It's just that Amu doesn't know this, he's just happy that he can understand Gu Lin better and better.

He took out his piece of wood candy again, licked it cautiously, it was so sweet that his eyebrows stood up, and he said to Gu Lin: "This is the candy man Qian Sheng bought, but he gave it to me, give it to me The one is mine, this sugar man is smiling happily, when I see him, I want to give him to the young master, the young master doesn’t like to laugh, but after eating the sugar man, he can smile as happily as the sugar man.”

Gu Lin didn't reply, just put the sugar figure on A Mu's face.

Amu glanced at the sugar man, trying to puff up his cheeks, smiling as happily as the sugar man.

He wanted to make the young master happy, and he really wanted to, even if he hadn't heard the story Qian Sheng told, he would have thought that way a long time ago.

Suddenly, Gu Lin smiled, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, but there were crystal bright arcs in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the bright arcs flickered, not to mention how beautiful they were.

Amu stared blankly, his face was burning badly, he just felt that his hair didn't need to be wiped, it could be dried by body temperature alone.

But Gu Lin moved. He raised his hand and began to eat the sugar man. He bit his head, pursed his red lips, and licked it with the tip of his tongue. Perhaps he was happy. A touch of red.

Amu jumped up suddenly, the tips of his ears were hot, and his eyes were so hot that they almost fell out of their sockets.

It was the same sugar man made like him, he felt sick when Qian Sheng ate it, and when Gu Lin ate it.

he……

he……

He didn't know anymore, he just felt that he was extremely happy.

Amu patted his cheeks, and asked Gu Lin, "Is it delicious?"

Gu Lin nodded, and gave a slight grace.

Amu was so happy that he kicked his legs straight on the chair, biting his wooden candy figure until it squeaked, and ate it up in a few bites.He licked his lips, and said: "There are many shops in the city, and there are small stalls on both sides of the road. The owner of the sugar figure can draw many sugar figures just by filling sugar water in a thin tube. Next time... ..." Amu suddenly stopped talking.

next time.Where will there be a next time.

Gu Lin's status was too great. He remembered that he took Gu Lin to the street to sell carved wood and asked him to write on the carved wood. Nothing happened at that time. It must be that Mr. Zheng had already ordered someone to protect him.

Amu didn't speak, neither did Gu Lin, he ate the sugar figurine slowly, waiting for Amu to speak.

Amu didn't continue what he said before, but said: "Mr. Gu, today, I saw my mother."

Gu Lin's hands froze, a little stiff.

Amu didn't see it, and continued: "She is talking to the housekeeper, she seems to be very familiar with it, Mr. Gu, does Aniang know that I am here? Why didn't she come to me?" His hair was still wet It drooped messily on the face, the small face was white and tender with the roundness of a teenager, just like a little puppy with wet fur.

Gu Lin finished eating the last little shoe of the sugar figurine, held the thin wooden stick in his palm, and said, "I found her."

Startled, Amu hurriedly looked up at him.

"She came to take you home."

Amu was shocked again when he heard this, and subconsciously stood up and shouted: "I won't go back."

Gu Lin looked at him, but couldn't tell what was in his eyes, so deep that Amu couldn't understand.

Amu was at a loss: "Then, when will Auntie come?"

"The day after tomorrow, side door."

Amu didn't understand: "Why do you choose the door in the future?"

Gu Lin didn't speak.

Since Gu Lin didn't speak, and Amu didn't ask, anyway, he'll be able to see Aniang in the future, so he jumped up from his chair happily, wandered around the room for a long time, and then asked Gu Lin with some expectation: "Then Auntie?" Mother, did you know I was here before?"

Gu Lin shook his head.

Knowing that he was not deceived, Amu was so happy that he threw himself on Gu Lin again, rubbing his face against the man's clothes. After rubbing for a long time, he found that the clothes were wet. He touched them with his hands in surprise: "My lord, your clothes are all wet." I'm done! Take it off quickly, I'll ask someone to prepare something for bathing, or you'll catch a cold!" After finishing speaking, he wanted to go out to call someone, but Gu Lin grabbed him.

Amu looked up suspiciously.

Gu Lin picked up the umbrella from the ground, put it in Amu's hand, and put a scarf over Amu's head before letting him go.

Amu touched the scarf on his head and smiled: "I am in good health, and I can blow it out even when my hair is wet." Having said that, he obediently put the scarf on his head and went out to find someone.
