Bamboo horse is a world-weary male protagonist

Gu Xi didn't know anything about what happened at this moment.

Whether it's the flames that appear in the palm of your hand, or the words that are desperately fleeing, or the time that is completely still.

I don't know at all.

He seemed to be lying in a dark river, his body flowing down the river, dreaming a very strange dream.

A dream with a strange overlap with reality.

In the dream, he looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with an indescribably gloomy temperament faintly gloomy between his brows and eyes.

Like a poisonous thorn growing in the dark, the body is wrapped in thorns but entangled with the body.

Trying to stimulate himself with pain and dripping blood, and live in depression and numbness.

In the dark and gloomy eyes, there was a chill that pierced the bone marrow.

He is going to save someone.

A person who means a lot to him.

He came to the vicinity of a cave, and a huge white-armored ground spider spewed out a poisonous web that covered the sky and the sun, and thousands of spider silk puppets rushed towards him one after another.

"Kill me!" Someone screamed at him, "Please, kill me!"

"Please, kill me..."

"please……"

"Please……"

The painful cries of the spider silk puppets floated in the air.

They shed blood and tears, stretched out their hands, and begged him to help them end this tragic fate that was worse than death.

Heartbreaking.

His fingertips sank deep into his palm, and the roots of his clenched teeth ooze crimson.

During the brief silent decision, the mountains and forests turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Blazing flames fell from the sky, and clusters flowed down from the sky, pouring down to the ground like a waterfall of lava.

The crowd was burned by the fire, the giant spider roared and struggled, and the land was scorched black.

The boy in white stumbled out of the cave.

His face was blurred as if covered by fog, stretches of spider silk hung on his body, and his chest was stained with blood, bright red and glaring.

Just like his only |naked|exposed|outside, his eyes are filled with red.

Shocked and puzzled.

Looking at the purgatory on earth in front of him, the boy in white couldn't help but staggered backwards.

The originally straight and straight back broke suddenly, he bent over and lowered his head, stretched out his hand to support the stone wall, and kept vomiting.

"Gu Xi, what are you doing?"

do what?Gu Xi repeated this sentence in the bottom of her heart, puzzled.

"What are you doing?" the boy in white asked again.

Eyes as beautiful as amber looked at him, filled with anger, disappointment and disgust.

The smile froze at the corner of his mouth, Gu Xi felt his heart beating violently, and the blood all over his body was rushing to the top of his head.

Wronged, angry, unwilling, powerless...

He couldn't help clenching his fist any longer—the heart of his fist burst into flames.

It was scorching hot, like a raging heart.

……

Someone seemed to be calling him in his ear: "Gu Doudou... Gu Doudou..."

Gu Xi felt that her head was in severe pain, she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't lift her strength, and she didn't want to respond to this person at all.

But the voice didn't stop at all, but the more he shouted, the louder he shouted: "Gu Doudou... Gu Doudou, wake up, wake up!"

"the last one--!"

"You are the last one, wake up!"

"The bottom one, Gu Doudou!"

"Gu Doudou is number one from the bottom!!!!"

Gu Xi: "..."

He was forced to open his eyes, and the goal he entered was the beams carved with fan flower decorations.

It was the bedroom assigned to each of them by Zhuoyulou, and he sneaked in to see it.

Turning his head again, he saw He Chengyuan looking at him worriedly.

The boy was pale and looked slightly haggard, with cloth bandages wrapped around his neck and exposed wrists for bandaging his wounds.

He was seriously injured, but his life was safe.

"He Chengyuan, you're fine!" Gu Xi sat up in surprise, and rushed over to tightly hug He Chengyuan who was sitting on the bed.

The familiar sandalwood scent filled his nostrils, making him want to cry in happiness.

"I thought you, I thought you!"

Gu Xi recalled the scene of He Chengyuan being completely surrounded by those spider silk puppets before he lost consciousness, and felt very scared, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go.

"I'm really... almost scared to death by you, I thought, I thought you... you were going to die..."

The child buried his head even deeper, his tail trembled, and he could hardly help crying.

"Doudou, I'm fine, I'm fine," He Chengyuan patted Gu Xi's back lightly, and coaxed softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Don't say sorry!"

Gu Xi arched her head forward vigorously, her eyes pressed tightly against He Chengyuan's skirt, and tried hard to hold back her tears: "I'm much better than you, why did you leave me behind?"

"He Chengyuan, you're only at the late stage of Qi refining, and you're trying to be brave...you're too annoying..."

While talking, I couldn't help but started dropping golden beans.

He really couldn't control his emotions.

Gu Xi was so happy that he couldn't help but want to cry when he thought that He Chengyuan was fine and sat here.

In the room, standing next to the bed is a person-high mirror, revealing Yunzhu's completely deformed face pressed against the mirror.

"Second Senior Sister! Second Senior Sister!"

The loud voice shook the mirror violently, almost falling to the ground.

"Gu Doudou was woken up by me, crying and acting like a baby with He Chengyuan!"

Yun Zhu happily clapped her hands and yelled, and turned her head to claim credit for Mu Tingjiang who was standing behind her: "Senior Sister, I just said that Gu Doudou has been pretending to sleep there all the time. You see, as soon as I shout out the number one, she will wake up immediately Yet."

"... Yunzhu, you should be a little quieter."

Mu Tingjiang held his forehead with one hand, and his voice was full of helplessness: "I'm in my 20s, can you be more stable and set an example for my younger brothers and sisters?"

Yunzhu was blunt and strong: "When I was in Zhuoyulou, I was No. 1 in every quiz. Isn't that enough to set an example for the bottom one?"

Gu Xi: "..."

He swished his body under the quilt all at once, his head firmly buried in the quilt, no matter how much He Chengyuan tried to persuade him, he refused to come out again.

Finished!

Mister must have told his mother about this!

His mother is coming to scold him!

He Chengyuan frowned: "Doudo, it's stuffy under the quilt, come out quickly."

The quilt shook wildly, showing the reluctance of the person wrapped inside.

"Li Fengye, drag your fourth junior brother away to me," Shang Xue turned her face up and ordered.

"Good lady," Li Fengye got Shang Xue's instruction, clasped Yunzhu's waist and eyes with his backhand, ignored Yunzhu's resistance and struggle, and directly lifted him up and took him away.

After Yunzhu disappeared, the room fell silent instantly, and Shang Xue's voice seemed particularly intimidating in the emptiness.

"Gu Xi," Shang Xue said in a deep voice, "come out."

Gu Xi hid under the quilt and did not move.

"I'll count one, two, three, and if you don't count to three, you know what the consequences will be."

"One"

"two"

Shang Xue took a deep breath——

"Then I didn't do it on purpose!"

A small face crumpled up with grievances was revealed under the quilt, with red eyes, like a bunny.

Gu Xi felt that he was really unlucky.

Why is he so miserable?

He was about to be scolded by his own mother just after waking up. Is there anyone in this world worse than him?

"Mother, I," Gu Xi couldn't find an excuse to run away, and with an idea, he lowered his voice into a stingy voice, pretending to be exhausted and threw his head on the bed: "I can't do it, my head hurts, what's wrong with my head?" Does it hurt so much?"

"Oh, I must be sick, or have a serious illness. I am practicing alone in Zhuoyulou, and I am just a little cabbage without mother's pain and love."

"Why am I so pitiful?"

Seeing this, He Chengyuan hurriedly asked, "Doudou, where does your head hurt?"

He pressed his fingers carefully on Gu Xi's head, and asked while pressing, "Is that so? This? Where is it?"

Gu Xi scrambled along the pole, rolling and lying: "It hurts everywhere, oops, why am I in so much pain?"

The more he played around, the more energetic he was, he just hugged the quilt and shrank into He Chengyuan's arms to let He Chengyuan hold him, moaning and chirping, looking at him as weak.

"Go to sleep if you have a headache," Shang Xue said lightly.

When Gu Xi heard this, she relaxed as if she had received a great favor.

He didn't care about continuing to pretend to be sick, he turned his head quickly, and made a painful little expression in the direction of the mirror: "Okay mother, then I'll go to bed first."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to fall into He Chengyuan's arms, letting He Chengyuan sleep with his arms around him, and even snored in a special way.

Closing his eyes tightly, the child secretly smiled happily.

hum~

As expected of him, he acted superbly.

He successfully tricked his mother!

"Well," Shang Xue nodded, "I'll just watch you sleep here until I wake up."

Gu Xi: "..."

Shang Xue reached for the fragrant tea on the desk, and took a sip: "Gu Xi, even if you sleep for another three days and three nights, I can afford to wait, so you can sleep with confidence."

"Mu Tingjiang, help me make another pot of tea, I want to see how long Gu Xi can sleep this time."

Hearing this, Gu Xi couldn't pretend anymore, so she was forced to open her eyes.

He covered his head with his two small hands, trying to pass the test coquettishly: "Mom, my head really hurts."

Shang Xue didn't even look at him: "I know."

"I want to sleep for a long time, three days and three nights are not enough for me, I want to sleep for ten years, no, 100 years."

"Oh."

"Mother," the child pursed his mouth, and slowly slid his hand covering his head, raising it to his ear in a gesture of oath: "I will definitely do well in the exam next time, can I promise you that it will not work?"

"Mom, you don't know, this quiz is really too difficult, I really don't blame me if I can't answer it."

"Really, He Chengyuan?" Gu Xi patted He Chengyuan's shoulder backhand: "Is this quiz particularly difficult?"

He Chengyuan was suddenly spotted by Gu Xi, and pursed his lips in astonishment.

After a while, he nodded with a very difficult expression.

Thinking of those test strips full of basic questions, he couldn't tell the deceitful lies, and his face flushed.

"Oh, He Chengyuan, don't just nod your head," Gu Xi said in a persuasive tone like a grown-up.

"Tell my mother quickly, and tell me how difficult this quiz is." Seeing that He Chengyuan was silent, Gu Xi reached out and touched He Chengyuan's shoulder, half-jokingly and half-threateningly: "Hurry up and say Oh, if you don't tell me, I won't be with you in the future."

One set of small methods of threatening people, unknowingly turned to poking at people's weaknesses.

"This quiz is really, really, really difficult." He Chengyuan held his breath in his chest when he heard Gu Xi say that he would ignore him, and stuttered: "It's really difficult, mistress, I, I didn't lie to you .”

terrific!

With a smile, Gu Xi stretched out her hand and patted the back of He Chengyuan's hand, turned her back to Shang Xue and winked at He Chengyuan.

As expected of his best friend!

This buddy can live forever!

Listening to He Chengyuan's words, Shang Xue raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Then Gu Xi, tell me, how much did He Chengyuan take for this extremely difficult quiz?"

The child who was so happy that he was smiling like a flower was instantly struck by lightning, the smile froze on his face, and he remained motionless.

"Gu Xi," Shang Xue's face turned cold.

"Mother~" the child dragged out a long sound, and turned his head in extreme aggrievedness.

Shang Xue glared at him: "You are threatening people to lie for you there, do you think I can't hear you?"

She looked at He Chengyuan bitterly, and wanted to tell He Chengyuan to be tougher in the future, and there was no need to "help the evildoers" just because of Gu Xi's small threat.

In the end, He Chengyuan was busy rubbing Gu Xi's head there, his heart and eyes were full of that angry brat from her family, and he didn't look at her at all.

Shang Xue: "..."

Fine

One willing to fight and the other willing to suffer, it seems that she is meddling in her own business.

Gu Xi saw that Shang Xue was going to punish him with the fact that he failed the test, so she pursed her mouth, trying to draw Shang Xue's attention away from the fact that he failed the test: "Mother, don't you Just look at my quiz results. Then I also beat the white-armored ground spider, why don't you praise me for this?"

Gu Xi felt that since they were able to lie safely in the bedroom of Zhuoyu Tower now, it meant that the white-armored ground spider had been killed by the gentlemen who arrived in time.

He felt that since the gentlemen were able to rush to the white-armored spider to save people, they must know that it was the white-armored spider that he and He Chengyuan stopped, and that they were the heroes who protected Zhuoyulou.

Great hero!

If you didn't tell his mother about such a good thing, why did you tell his mother about the fact that you got the first place in the exam?

"What white-armored ground spider?" Shang Xue frowned: "Gu Xi, where are you going to bring the topic up again?"

"Mother, sir, didn't you mention the white-armored spider?" Gu Xi's eyes widened, with a look of surprise on his face: "I fought with a particularly powerful white-armored spider before, not only did I save Rong Yu, It also saved a lot of people who were caught by the white-armored ground spider!"

"Rong Yu, you know, mother, my fiancee."

He gestured back and forth in mid-air with his small hands, and kept explaining in his mouth: "At that time, I, He Chengyuan, and Rong Yu, the three of us accidentally walked into the territory of the white-armed ground spider. That stinky spider wanted to take Rong Yu ate it and was stopped by me. I told Rong Yu to ask her to go back and call the husband, and He Chengyuan stayed with me to fight the white-armored spider."

"Such a big thing, didn't your husband mention it to you?"

"I didn't mention it," Shang Xue glanced at him: "Didn't you say that your head hurts? I think you are very energetic?"

"Oh, don't mention the pain in the head." Seeing that Shang Xue didn't believe him, Gu Xi pointed at He Chengyuan: "Mother, aren't you surprised by He Chengyuan's injuries?"

"Don't you say he is your godson? You don't care about your godson like that?"

"Didn't you fight for you?"

Shang Xue had an expression of "you make it up, brat, I see you continue to make it up", folded his arms around his chest, looked over steadily, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. told me, not only did you fail the quiz First, he is also very capable of causing trouble, he got into a fight with other kids on the first day he came to Zhuoyu Tower."

Gu Xi: "..."

what?
