The Rebirth Of The General Who Always Sees Himself As A Replacement

Hearing Gu Heyan's words, Mu Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's rare for you to be frank, I'm ecstatic, but this bodhi tree is not destined for me, I don't know the general, why do you think of me because of it?"

Gu Heyan: "...Missed?"

When he said these two words, his tone was full of unconcealable loss and frustration, as if he had been betrayed by someone.

Mu Zhiming gave a 'thump' in his heart, and smiled flatteringly: "I'm the one who is stupid, if you don't mind the general, please tell me something."

Gu Heyan glanced at him, then turned his head to look under the bodhi tree, Mu Zhiming followed his gaze, and saw that there was nothing there, and he couldn't help becoming more confused.

"When you were young, you always came to this ancient temple to pray for blessings." Gu Heyan said softly.

Mu Zhiming nodded: "Yes."

Gu Heyan: "When you were eight years old, you had a serious illness. You had a persistent high fever. You also contracted lung disease because of it. You coughed up blood all day long. It took three years to recover your body."

"It's true." Mu Zhiming didn't deny it.

But what is the connection between these two sentences?

Gu Heyan looked at Mu Zhiming: "Do you still remember why you were sick?"

Mu Zhiming thought hard.

He was eight years old and still young, and because of a high fever due to illness, he was so dizzy that he even walked before the gate of hell, so he couldn't remember clearly what happened before and after that time.

Although Mu Zhiming didn't remember it, Gu Heyan remembered it.

Fourteen years ago, in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, when dripping water turned into ice, he was only ten years old, sitting alone under this bodhi tree, feeling the taste of snow and wind.

Suddenly, a child's voice as crisp as a ring ring rang in his ears: "What are you doing sitting here?"

Gu Yuyi looked up, and saw a child with long hair wearing a thick blue and white brocade cloak and carved with pink jade was looking at him suspiciously.

Qiongbao jade crumbs fell, and the icy wind, for some reason, suddenly eased a lot.

Gu Yuyi replied, "I'm lost."

Mu Lizhu sat down beside him, with Ou Bai's small hands brushing off the snow from his shoulders and hair, and seeing that his hands were red from the cold, he took off his cloak to cover his hands.

Muli Zhu asked: "Where are you going?"

Gu Yuyi: "Find my mother."

Mu Lizhu: "You and your mother got lost? How about this, I'll take you to the meditation room in front and wait. It's warm there, and your mother will definitely come to you."

Gu Yuyi was silent for a while, and said, "She won't come."

Mu Lizhu was puzzled: "Why?"

Gu Yuyi: "She passed away, I came to find her grave."

Xiaoli Junuzui, childish and ignorant, asked in confusion: "What is passing away?"

Gu Yuyi: "It's just gone, not here anymore."

Mu Lizhu: "Can't she be with you?"

Gu Yuyi nodded: "Yes."

Mu Li and Zhu She thought about it: "If my mother doesn't accompany me, I will definitely cry."

He said, stood up, stepped on the snow and ran towards the meditation room with a "creak" and disappeared after a while. When Gu Yuyi was at a loss holding his cloak, he ran back with a "creak".

"This is for you." Panting, Mu Lizhu stuffed the things in his hands into Gu Yuyi's arms.

Gu Yuyi looked down and saw that it was a package of pastries wrapped squarely in oiled paper.

Mu Lizhu said: "This is sweet-scented osmanthus white sugar cake, a cake from Jiyuezhai. This is my favorite cake. Try it soon, it's delicious."

"Yes." Gu Yuyi nodded, "Thank you."

Mu Lizhu sighed with his arms crossed: "You are so boring, where is your father?"

Gu Yuyi: "My father is in the frontier."

Mu Lizhu: "Then you ran here alone?"

Gu Yuyi: "Yes."

Mu Lizhu thought for a while and asked, "What wronged you today?"

Gu Yuyi: "..."

Wronged?

On New Year's Eve in the capital, every household is full of firecrackers and lively reunions. Only Gu's mansion is deserted, and Gu Yuyi keeps the New Year's Eve alone.

Is this a grievance?

Mu Lizhu: "If you don't talk, I also know that you must have suffered a great grievance if you want to find your mother. Don't be sad. You can go to the meditation room in front and go to your mother after the snow stops. I have to go back too, otherwise Mammy should be in a hurry."

Gu Yuyi: "...you..."

Mu Lizhu: "Me?"

Gu Yuyi hesitated, and it took a long time before he reluctantly said his plea: "You...can you accompany me...?"

Muli Zhu: "Do you want me to accompany you to find your mother?"

Gu Yuyi nodded slowly: "...um."

Mu Lizhu looked at Gu Yuyi's shoulders wet with melting snow, and suddenly bent his eyes and smiled, "Okay, I'll accompany you! Just wait for me, I'll go to the Zen room to borrow a pen and ink, write a few words there, and take care of my mother." Mammy came to me, and after seeing those words, she won't be worried."

Saying that, Mu Lizhu ran away 'hey hey hey hey', and then ran back 'hehehehe', took Gu Yuyi's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"

The two children walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow for half a day, and they didn't find the grave until dusk.

Gu Yuyi knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed, while Mu Li and Zhu Lian shuddered a few times: "Ah Choe, Ah Choo!"

Gu Yuyi stood up and looked at him: "Let's go back."

Mu Lizhu: "Didn't you just come?"

Gu Yuyi: "That's enough."

It was not easy to come, but it was much faster to go back because of knowing the way. After more than half an hour, the two returned to the temple.

They disappeared for half a day, and the people in Mu's mansion were already anxious like ants on a hot pot, looking for people everywhere, seeing Mu Li and Zhu Ping'an coming back, the mother cried bitterly: "Oh, fortunately, I am back, fortunately, my God Ah, young master, why are you so wet and cold, as if you just fished out of that ice hole! This little face is so red from the cold! Young master, you have a congenital deficiency and cannot be frozen like this! !!"

When Mulizhu was picked up, he relentlessly pulled Gu Yuyi's sleeve and said to him, "My name is Mulizhu. If you are free, come to Duke Yan's mansion to play with me."

Gu Yuyi: "... definitely."

After parting with Mu Lizhu, Gu Yuyi was also found by Aunt Liang, and went back to the General's Mansion with her.

Later, Gu Yuyi went to look for Mu Lizhu, but what he got was the news that Mu Lizhu was ill and had a high fever...
