Small wood

It was night when Gu Lin came back, and Amu heard the long howling of wild wolves outside the tent. He guessed that the moonlight should be cold and silver, otherwise the howling of wolves would not be so deep and long.

When Gu Lin opened the curtain, he was a little anxious, and the heavy curtain was pulled open with a brush. Amu saw that his white boots were covered with mud, and the mud was reddish brown. I don't know if it was because of blood.

There was no light in the tent, Amu squinted his eyes slightly, and saw Gu Lin with the moonlight behind his back coming from a distance, the moonlight condensed on his white armor, as if coated with a layer of white streamer.

"You're awake." Gu Lin stood beside him, his voice was very soft, and there was some suppressed emotion in his eyes. He touched Amu's hair, and the shadows under his eyelashes were as soft and warm as clouds, like the temperature of his palms. , he asked Amu: "Does the wound still hurt?"

Amu sat up, and the old doctor gave him some medicine to drink. He doesn't feel pain very much now, but his movements are a little laborious.

Gu Lin hurriedly helped him sit up, looked into his eyes tightly, without moving at all.

Amu shook his head, shook Gu Lin's hand, and stroked the slightly stiff callus on his thumb, like a butterfly's chrysalis.

"I want something to eat, but I'm still thirsty." Gu Lin lowered his head and kissed his forehead. There was no light in the tent, and it was gray, but he could always find any place of Amu without any effort, be it eyes or eyebrows. Whether it's the nose or the nose, it seems that they have been engraved in his line of sight without any deviation.

Amu still shook his head, just looking at Gu Lin.

Gu Lin frowned, touched Amu's dry lips with his fingertips, and poured him another bowl of water. His armor hadn't been taken off yet, and there was a slight raw smell of iron and blood in his movements. fishy smell.He seemed to be aware of it, and raised his hand to untie it, but some of the straps were not easy to untie.

Amu sat forward and helped him untie the straps.

"Drink some water." Gu Lin said, put the water in Amu's hand, and watched him drink.

He just looked at him, without realizing that it was a pitch-black tent, but his eyes seemed to be filled with moonlight, and Amu could see clearly even in the dark.

After drinking all the water, Gu Lin took Amu's cup, touched Amu's slightly moist and soft lips with his fingertips, then touched his forehead to check if he had a fever. to light the lamp.

When the candle was lit, Amu's heart skipped a beat, and he could faintly smell some fragrance from the tip of his nose. He became nervous and looked at Gu Lin.Gu Lin just carefully protected the candle, as if he didn't smell the fragrance at all.

He put the candle away, and went to look at Amu again, his eyes seemed to be restrained, he suddenly hugged Amu, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

His finger was next to the wound on Amu's back, and he touched it with the lightest force, as if stroking: "You shouldn't be injured."

Amu still didn't speak, put his hand on Gu Lin's back and hugged him, rubbing his cheek lightly against him.

"I asked someone to cook the noodles. Would you like to eat some?" Gu Lin asked him, but he didn't want to eat it, so he shook his head. Gu Lin then said, "You just woke up with nothing in your stomach. You can eat some. You haven't eaten for a day, so just treat it with me and eat together, okay?"

Hearing that he hadn't eaten all day, Amu hurriedly nodded.

When the hot noodles came in, Amu's eyes were a little sour. It was two bowls of chopped green onion noodles, and there were two chicken legs on the noodles. I don't know where the wild animals came from. It has been a long time since he sent troops for so long. I have eaten meat, let alone noodles, which are made of fine grains.

Gu Lin mixed him with chopsticks, then put the chicken legs from his own bowl in his bowl, picked up the thin noodles and put them on the chopsticks, blew them and put them near his mouth, intending to feed him .

Amu hurriedly reached out to hold the chopsticks in Gu Lin's hand, and went to eat by himself.

The noodles are very delicate and firm, the soup is also very delicious, the chopped green onion is fragrant, not to mention there is meat, Amu feels a little sad after eating, those soldiers will not eat fine grains for a month, and he is here. meat to eat.

Gu Lin knew what he was thinking, patted his head and said: "I grind the fine grains, Jiong Yi beats the wild animals, and I asked the cook to cook them secretly." He moved to Amu's side, and suddenly pursed his lips, Said softly: "I didn't let anyone see these, so eat at ease."

There was a slight smile in his words, his brows and eyes were even softer, he looked very happy, and he even joked like never before. It can be seen that he is really happy, glad that Amu woke up.

If Zhou Xingping didn't know those things, Amu might be able to smile now.

Gu Lin looked at him, put down his chopsticks, and went to look at his wound: "Why don't you talk, but the wound hurts."

Amu shook his head: "Young master takes care of me like this, I'm not used to it."

Gu Lin smiled, the streamer in his eyes was like broken Kuibao beads, and the soft brilliance poured out, so soft and beautiful that one couldn't help but be moved.

He said: "You have taken care of enough, in the next days, let me take care of you."

Amu's throat tightened slightly, if he hadn't kept his mouth shut, he might have made a sound at this time.

He didn't want to hand him over to the palace in exchange for the life of the only son of the Lin family, even if he was burdened with ungratefulness.

He didn't want to send him away, even if Ji Dong would turn against him after learning the truth.

And these reluctances are because they want to take care of him.

Amu closed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, took out another candle beside the table, and lit it.

The subtle aroma wafted out the moment the candle was lit, and was hidden in the candle smoke and spread throughout the tent.Amu put this candle next to the candle that Gu Lin lit, and after looking at the two flickering orange-red candles, he said, "I know everything."

Gu Lin looked at him, he was still holding chopsticks in his hand, his nails were round and full, shining with luster, which was indescribably beautiful, Amu just stared at his hands, not daring to look into his eyes.

Gu Lin put down his chopsticks and dropped his hands on his knees.He was silent for a long time.

It was so silent that Amu almost lost the courage to take the initiative to say the following words.

He suddenly said: "Zhou Xingping told you." He said very flatly, but his tone was not question but affirmative.

"I found him." Amu lowered his head and said.

"What he said is not true." Gu Lin turned back and stretched out his hand to pull him. Amu wanted to hide, but when he thought that he would talk about something later, he was reluctant to dodge. Instead, he pulled him, feeling his temperature.

"But the young master also promised me not to hide it from me." Amu said softly, even he himself couldn't hide the sadness in his tone.

Gu Lin listened, remained silent, and then said affirmatively, "You are sad."

Amu shook his head, then nodded again.

Gu Lin said again: "You are blaming me for concealing you, so you added scent to the candle."

Amu was startled, and hurriedly went to look at Gu Lin, but saw that Gu Lin's eyes were clear, not at all sleepy, scorching like the sun, hotter than ever before.

Amu was flustered, closed his eyes slightly and calmed down for a while, he pulled Gu Lin to his side, then lay down, and said, "Mixiang is not for this."

Gu Lin listened, when Amu exerted force in his hands, he hesitated for a while, and lay down anyway, even stretched out his arms to hug Amu, carefully avoiding the wound on his back.

"During the past few days when I was injured, my lord hasn't slept at all. I just want you to have a good sleep. The fragrance is not heavy, and it lasts for an hour at most." Amu used his fingertips to trace the blue dizziness under Gu Lin's eyes, and said softly talking.

"What do you want to do in this hour." Gu Lin asked, his dark hair fell slightly on his neck, as dark as if it could absorb light.

Amu didn't intend to hide from Gu Lin, so he told Gu Lin what he thought.

"I'm going to the palace." Amu said.

"No matter who the only son of the Lin family is, he is always the son's benefactor. The letter said that only I can save his life, so I will go."

"Besides, I still want to meet my father. He is in the Gu Guojun, so I have to go."

After Amu said these few words, he was a little out of breath, because of the injuries on his body, and because of the soreness in his heart.

Gu Lin looked at him quietly, his eyes were as deep as a long dark road, it was not like his usual cold and calm, but like an abyss that made people sink and even fear.

He said: "It is impossible to know whether what is said in the letter is true or not. What you heard is just Zhou Xingping's speculation."

Amu looked up at him, and suddenly became stubborn: "He told me anyway, but the young master kept it from me, and the young master promised not to hide it from me."

Gu Lin pursed his lips. He looked at Amu with a cold voice: "Those are just lies."

Amu's hand trembled violently, and he almost let go of Gu Lin's hand.

Gu Lin continued, "Lin Xu was seriously injured by me, so you might not be able to see him."

Amu was completely exhausted and trembling.

"I treat you well because you are Lin Mu, and I take you to the North Kingdom because you will take over the Lin family's secret guards, and I protect you only because I owe you kindness." Gu Lin said lightly, his voice slightly hoarse: "So even if I won't thank you if you go to the palace."

Amu shook his head, grabbed Gu Lin's hand with great strength, but Gu Lin didn't hold it back, but only twitched his fingertips twice when he saw his reddish eyes.

"No." Amu said: "You were injured like that in the wooden house, you didn't think about running away when those men in black came, and you only moved when A Niang put the bloody clothes on me and wanted to hand me over. "

"It's just that I changed my mind." Gu Lin turned back, not looking at him.

Amu smiled, he felt the coldness in Gu Lin's tone, he knew Gu Lin too well, such a gentle and silent person, how confused his heart must be, to refute his words with words, he pulled Gu Lin away Lin's clothes and told him to look at him.

"In the mountains and forests, you came to me with a seriously injured body and saved me and A Niang. In the cave in the snowy sky, after meeting wild wolves, you slept outside and protected me inside. If it weren't for you under the treacherous tree Pull me together and fall into the vortex, I'm afraid I'm dead now, let alone the stone house behind." As Amu was talking, those scenes were played back in front of him like real scenes.

Gu Lin just listened, did not speak, the coldness in his eyes gradually melted away, and there was a subtle crystal water that was about to condense irresistibly, he suddenly lowered his gaze, so that Amu could not see his eyes.

"I remember all these clearly. You said that I was your benefactor. In fact, what you did for me has already surpassed the two words of kindness. I thought I was taking care of the young master, but in fact it was the young master who was taking care of me. I, take care of the young master much more than me."

While Amu was talking, he went to shake Gu Lin's hand, but there was no other movement except for a slight warmth.

Amu raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyes, wiped off the damp eyelashes, and looked down at Gu Lin.

"I like young master, I like young master very much, so when young master treats me well, I feel grateful. I think, only with my heart that likes young master enough can I repay young master."

"But after hearing what General Zhou said, I feel that it is not right. As long as I am still with you, I can only be protected and taken care of by you. I also want to do something for you. So, I want to go to the palace. Keep real trees safe."

Gu Lin closed his eyes, the black halo under his eyes was like two blue clouds.

When Amu thought he was asleep, he opened his eyes, his pupils seemed to be soaked in the smoke from the candlelight, making it difficult to see his emotions clearly.
