Three Realms Sanatorium

It snowed all night.

When the first snow shovels collided with the snow, Zhong Shan's mountain god opened his eyes from a deep sleep.

It dawns late in winter, but the old man always sleeps less.

Xie Jiusi glanced at Gu Xiuming who was shoveling snow silently in the darkness, and his mind moved slightly. The snow on the roads that had been covered with non-slip mats in Gu Shi yesterday disappeared instantly.

Gu Xiuming was stunned for two seconds holding the snow shovel, then turned his head to look into Gu Shi's room where the lights hadn't been turned on yet.

"Thank you very much."

Gu Xiuming wrapped up his clothes tightly, and went out to get a massage.

Xie Jiusi looked away.

Gu Shi on the side poked his head out of the bed at some point, his breathing was slow and steady, and he was in a deep sleep. Xie Jiusi could vaguely see some golden-red fluff exuding a faint light. His breath flickered rhythmically.

Under these faint light sources, Gu Shi's sleeping appearance looked extraordinarily harmless and well-behaved.

Xie Jiusi looked at it for a long time, and could hardly bear to fall asleep with the slow and gentle rhythm.

In the end, he raised his hand and touched Gu Shi's crumpled hair.

Unlike Xie Jiusi's own hair that seemed thick and stiff, Gu Shi's hair felt much softer than he had imagined, and the hair on both sides that had been cut off before was also filled in a lot during the night.

Xie Jiusi looked down at Gu Shi, stroked his soft hair one by one, and didn't want to stop for a while.

Gu Shi was still in a deep sleep, motionless and unaware.

Xie Jiusi enjoyed it quietly for a while, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and put a barrier around Gu Shi's room to prevent disturbance.

He knew that Gu Shi would not be able to wake up these two days.

While changing his clothes, Xie Jiusi turned his mind and easily took the whole Cangwu Temple into his eyes, thinking about what he should do.

——Gu Shi was sleeping soundly, but there were still some guests in Cangwu Temple.

Xie Jiusi himself didn't care about these human beings, but Gu Shi did.Since Gu Shi cared, Xie Jiusi felt that he should take over the matter of entertaining guests with Gu Shi's photos when Gu Shi was temporarily unable to show up.

Entertain guests while helping customers.

Xie Jiusi paused slightly.

It sounds like - he and Gu Shi belong to the same family.

Thinking of this, Xie Jiusi felt a little joy in his heart.

He changed his clothes, picked up his phone, and started searching.

Those guests were ordinary human beings.

What would an ordinary human stranded in a mountain need?

Living materials - including but not limited to food, means of keeping warm, clothing, etc.

The mountain god of Zhongshan came and went freely in Zhongshan's territory. Xie Jiusi disappeared for a moment, and when he reappeared in the kitchen, he brought a large pot of millet porridge and fresh buns from the canteen of the nursing home.

He recalled Gu Shi's usual cooking actions, lit the fire, poured the porridge into the pot, covered the pot, and awkwardly spread a layer of moist gauze on the cage drawer, put the buns on it, and burned it. Steam the tray over water so that the buns do not cool down.

After doing this, Xie Jiusi recalled and checked several times, took out a few firewood that had been burned too vigorously in the stove, and kept it at the level of "small fire" that Gu Shi usually said, before putting down the tongs and standing in satisfaction got up.

The ringing of the morning bell vibrates from the cold air.

Gu Xiuming was on the bell tower, and from a long distance away, he could see smoke rising from the kitchen without the lights on.

His heart skipped a beat, thinking that it might be water, he immediately put down the hammer and ran all the way back, only to see the quietly burning stove and the rich aroma of food in the room.

No matter how fast Gu Shi moved, it was impossible for him to cook a pot of porridge in the time it took him to ring the bell.

Gu Xiuming thought about who else in this family besides him and Gu Shi would do such a thing, and suddenly felt that the pot of porridge was coated with a golden light.

Gu Xiuming rubbed his hands.

But it wasn't that surprising.

After all, when Gu Shi was cooking, Xie Jiusi always occupied the position of the fire.

With Xie Jiusi's strength and status, Gu Shi can feel at ease and let others beat him.

Gu Xiuming stood at the door of the kitchen, thinking of Xie Jiusi's undisguised favoritism and love for Gu Shi, he felt sour and happy.

It's a good thing that Xie Jiusi treats Gu Shi well.

Gu Xiuming thought.

Although they haven't recognized each other yet, they are father and son, and it would be a bad thing if they don't get along well.

Just thinking that after a hundred years, someone will soon fill his vacancy as an elder, Gu Xiuming still inevitably feels a little sad.

The old man standing at the door of the kitchen sighed, stroked his long beard, glanced at the fire, and turned to look for Gu Shi.

Relying on the eccentricity of the mountain god, the stinky boy just didn't get out of bed and was lazy!

outrageous!

Gu Xiuming put on the doorknob, and after twisting it for a long time, he didn't open the door.

He froze for a moment, raised his hand and patted the door panel, but found that no matter how he patted it, there was no sound.

Gu Shi's room seemed to be placed in an absolutely quiet area, rejecting any disturbance from external factors.

Gu Xiuming remembered what Gu Shi said about the emperor's fluid last night.

This kind of natural treasure must take a certain amount of time to digest.

Gu Xiuming withdrew his hand, took two steps back, looked up at the door of Gu Shi's room, and left the yard with a disappointed expression after a while.

After more than 20 years, he almost forgot that Gu Shi is not human.

It's just that in the past 20 years, Gu Shi's growth and behavior have completely looked like ordinary human beings, and now he suddenly shows non-human differences, which makes Gu Xiuming feel somewhat awkward and lost.

But Gu Shi, who was sleeping, didn't know this, and Xie Jiusi never even thought about it.

Gu Xiuming's loss only lasted for a very short time.

He soon discovered that there seemed to be a snail girl in the house.

There is food every day, everything is cleaned up, there is always hot water on the stove, and there is no trace of snow on the non-slip mat. Xie Jiusi even brought new clothes for the guests.

The people who were trapped in the Cangwu Temple by the continuous snowfall for several days not only did not have any problems, but were fattened up.

Gu Xiuming was simply delighted.

At this moment, he no longer needs to accompany the research group who are obsessed with research, but is pulled by Yu Xiaoxue to play in the snow together.

The little girl's cheeks were bright red, and she rolled a snowball taller than her.

Yu Liang came over with a plate of strawberries - the strawberries were naturally provided by Xie Jiusi.

Gu Xiuming ate a strawberry and clicked his tongue twice: "If you want to enjoy it like this all the time, that brat Gu Shi should sleep more. It won't be a big problem if you sleep for a year or so."

Yu Liang hesitated to speak, and then said: "...then let's say goodbye."

Gu Xiuming sighed with regret.

I don't know what to regret.

"Didn't the mountain god say that when Gu Shi wakes up, he will know what his prototype is?" Yu Liang fed Yu Xiaoxue a strawberry, her face full of anticipation, "Can I know?"

"What else could it be?" Gu Xiuming was not very interested in it, "Zhulong."

Yu Liang was taken aback: "Ah? Isn't Zhulong the mountain god?"

"Yes." Gu Xiuming nodded, raised his index finger and shook it, "Didn't I tell you? That mountain god and our brat are very likely to be directly related."

"Ah, ah...?" Yu Liang's eyes widened, and she stumbled, "Direct, direct relative?"

Gu Xiuming nodded confidently.

He didn't tell Yu Liang, nor did he tell the inspection team about Cangwu's lineage.

He only said that the ancestors of the Cangwu lineage have been doing sacrificial affairs for generations, which can be proved by many stone Nuo noodles at the bottom of the box.

After all, divination is still a very sensitive ability in today's era.

Gu Xiuming ate another strawberry: "99.99% possibility."

Yu Liang is well-informed, and when she heard the number of possibilities, she subconsciously asked, "...Did you do a paternity test for them?"

"?"

Gu Xiuming has not heard such a scientific basis for judgment in 800 years.

He shook his head: "It's a method other than science."

"..."

Ah this.

Thinking of the way Gu Shi and Xie Jiusi got along with each other, Yu Liang's expression gradually became subtle.

No, then no matter how you look at it, it is not the atmosphere of getting along with relatives, right?

It's a bit like a stupid couple who haven't pierced the window paper yet.

Yu Liang now has a high degree of trust in "means other than science", and has no doubts about what Gu Xiuming said.

There will be this kind of atmosphere between each other... Direct, immediate relatives.

Yu Liang's expression gradually solidified into the shape of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone.

"It's a pity." Gu Xiuming continued, "I was expecting that kid to be some kind of cuter monster."

Yu Liang glanced at Gu Xiuming who didn't realize that the atmosphere between Xie Jiusi and Gu Shi was not right at all, and laughed dryly.

How dare I speak.

Yu Liang didn't dare to say anything, but Gu Xiuming came to his senses: "However, I have never seen what Zhuyin's body looks like. There are too many different appearances recorded in literature, such as this..."

Gu Xiuming picked up a branch at random, and drew a bunch of underworld portraits of candle dragons on the snow.

Yu Liang rubbed her hot eyes, unable to match the thing on the snow with Xie Jiusi's face.

"...It's not very pretty."

"Yeah." Gu Xiuming agreed, and wiped off the artwork on the snow, "It seems that I have to take a closer look at Gu Xiaolong when I look back."

Yu Liang looked at Gu Xiuming, thought of the delicate relationship between Gu Shi and Xie Jiusi, and asked tentatively, "Do monsters also pay attention to human relations?"

"?" Gu Xiuming put on a serious expression, "Of course not, don't take the things you come into contact with as normal. Strictly speaking, they can no longer be called monsters, but the level of gods and demons. If you encounter ordinary Monsters, you must run straight away, don't apply the constraints of human morality to monsters, they..."

All in all, it doesn't matter.

Yu Liang listened to Gu Xiuming who was warning her endlessly, with a bit of sympathy and compassion on her face.

She stuffed a whole plate of strawberries to Gu Xiuming: "You eat more."

"Ah? Oh." Gu Xiuming nodded, not politely.

It snowed all week.

When the Golden Crow flew across the cloudless sky again, Gu Xiuming and the delegation reached an agreement on the restoration and exhibition of the Cangwu Temple.

Gu Xiuming was going to find Xie Jiusi, and asked the mountain god to melt the snow on the road and bring everything back on track.

As soon as he went out, he saw the door of the next room, which had been closed for a week, open.

Looking from the door of the room, Xie Jiusi was standing by the bed, quietly watching the moving quilt.

Gu Xiuming's eyes lit up, he lifted his feet and walked over.

When Gu Shi opened his eyes, what he saw was pitch black, as if something heavy was pressing on him.

Gu Shi was a little confused.

He kicked around with his hands and feet together, feeling the softness surrounding him, and his hands and feet were a little uncontrollable.

Weird.

Could it be possible that something went wrong with him eating this emperor's liquid?

Gu Shi murmured in his heart, and then punched and kicked the soft wrap around him. After realizing that it was useless, he simply chose to give up.

His limbs were paralyzed, his dantian sank, and he shouted the name of the rescuer: "—— Chi Chi Chi!"

? ? ? ?

Gu Shi was shocked.

What the hell? !
