medicine man

Suddenly, Gu Li's pupils dilated suddenly, as if seeing something terrible, his whole body tensed up, and he froze there.

Not far away, a man wearing a bamboo hat stood there, staring straight at the two of them.The wind raised the corner of the bamboo hat, revealing a face in a trance, smiling slightly at Gu Li.

It was him—the mysterious man I met before.

Lin Xiao immediately noticed Gu Li's anomaly after being made host by Gu Li.

Lin Xiao asked worriedly: "Ah Li, what's the matter with you?" Before Gu Li could answer, Lin Xiao wanted to break free from Gu Li's arms.

He moved a bit, but he didn't break free, Gu Li hugged him too tightly.

"A Li?" Lin Xiao called softly, with worry in his voice.

"It's okay!" Gu Li shook his head, but still hugged Lin Xiao firmly, not letting Lin Xiao leave his embrace.

Lin Xiao didn't want to hurt Gu Li, so he couldn't help it for a while.Huddled in Gu Li's arms, Lin Xiao couldn't see what was behind him, but could only feel the stiffness of Gu Li's body.

Lin Xiao became more and more anxious, "A Li, what's the matter, what happened?"

"It's nothing!" After a long time, Gu Li's muffled voice sounded.

Letting go of Lin Xiao's hand, Gu Li lowered his head, hiding the unnaturalness on his face.

"what is the problem?"

As soon as he broke free from Gu Li's embrace, Lin Xiao immediately turned his head to look.But there was nothing behind him, there were people there.

So Lin Xiao turned his head again, held Gu Li's face in his hands, and said worriedly: "A Li, what happened just now, why did you suddenly..."

Lin Xiao didn't ask the rest, because he saw Gu Li's face at this moment.

It was a face mingled with fear and sadness.

"A Li—" Lin Xiao panicked, and subconsciously hugged Gu Li again, "A Li is not afraid, I will always be here."

Can't tell why, seeing Gu Li's expression, Lin Xiao felt his heart was about to break.But apart from heartbreak, there was also a panic that Gu Li wanted to leave him immediately.

"Xiao, it's okay!" Gu Lifan put his arms around Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "It's just that I suddenly remembered a sad incident that made you worry."

Gu Li said it lightly, but Lin Xiao, who had just seen Gu Li's appearance, had no choice but to not worry.

"It's just..." Lin Xiao's eyes darkened. Since Gu Li didn't want him to know, then he could do as Gu Li wished and pretend that nothing happened.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and rang in Gu Li's ear with an aggrieved voice: "A Li, you scared me to death just now, and thought you were ill again. As punishment, A Li, you can Just stay with me well."

Speaking of the attack, Lin Xiao's face flashed a strange color.Gu Li's appearance when he had an inexplicable illness last time really scared him.

Although he was rescued in the end, Lin Xiao would still think of the scene when Gu Li was unconscious from time to time.

Seeing that it is necessary to investigate Ah Li's past affairs carefully, Lin Xiao thought to himself while closing his eyes to hide the thoughts in his eyes.

It's not that he didn't notice Lin Xiao's suspicion, but Gu Li couldn't dispel Lin Xiao's suspicion.

After all, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they cannot be eliminated so easily.

What's more...

With his head down, Gu Li silently looked at the ground, he doesn't have time anymore, does he?

The corner of the mouth curled up slightly, like mocking or disdain.

Patting Lin Xiao's back comfortingly, Gu Li broke free from Lin Xiao's arms.

"It's getting late, let's go back, we have to talk to the system about his shop at night!"

"It's true..." Lin Xiao nodded, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "The system will definitely look interesting when the time comes."

Having said this, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.The familiar tacit understanding makes the heaviness just now dissipate and become invisible.

"Let's go!" Gu Li took the initiative to hold Lin Xiao's hand, raised his head, and left first.

"Speaking of which, I still remember Xiao, you seem to be a road idiot, right?" On the way, Gu Li's voice sounded with a smile: "It's inexplicably lost in the mountains and forests for so long, and you still say you are enjoying the scenery."

When Gu Li said this, Lin Xiao also remembered the scene when the two first met.

A trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he still refused to admit it: "Where, did you just enjoy the scenery?"

"Really, but the appearance of the little twist beside you at that time betrayed you deeply."

Speaking of the little twist, Lin Xiao fell silent.No matter what, Xiaomahua has been with him for so many years, so how could it be possible that he didn't feel a little bit uncomfortable about his betrayal.

Gu Li also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he also fell silent.

Embarrassment spread silently between the two, and an invisible crack had actually quietly formed around the two of them.

The two actually knew this, but neither of them tried to break his intention.

It's not that I don't want to fix it, but that I can't do anything about it.

The little twist is just a fuse, after so long, what should be let go has already been let go.

What's more, Lin Xiao didn't have much emotion when he knew it at the time, so why would he have those inexplicable emotions now.

It's just that the two of them are hiding their thoughts and need something to cover up!

In the silence, the two had arrived at the palace.

Looking up at the four big characters of Anyang Prince's Mansion above, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "A Li, you go back first, I have to go to my father's place to pay my respects." After speaking, Lin Xiao patted Gu Li's head, as if None of the silence ever happened in general.

But, how could it really be as if it never happened?

"Okay!" Gu Li smiled, "Then Xiao, remember to come tonight, we still have to find the system!"

"Understood..." Lin Xiao withdrew his hand, stretched his index finger, hooked Gu Li's nose lightly, and smiled dotingly, "You little brat, you've learned to fail."

Gu Li shrunk his nose, glared at Lin Xiao, and left in embarrassment.

The appearance of the two caught the eyes of many people.

After the two of them left, the servant at the side started to gossip: "I didn't expect the relationship between Shizi and Mr. Gu to be so good."

"Most people really can't bear the gentleness of the prince."

"Then Mr. Gu also looks very cute, no wonder he can put the prince at ease."

"I hope the prince can hold on for a little longer this time..."

"It is estimated that the son should be sincere this time. If not, then Mr. Gu is too pitiful."

"That is, I hope Shizi can be with Young Master Gu forever."

"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case, it's just a man!"

……

Qingfeng brought everyone's gossip to Lin Xiao's ears. Lin Xiao stepped forward, listening to everyone's gossip, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "Forever, hope!"

Now, he can't see through everything about Gu Li.Oftentimes, Lin Xiao would have the illusion that Gu Li would leave at any time.

It seems that those obsessions and struggles have always been only him, which is desperate.

Gu Li is the first one who thought he was so worried about gain and loss after so many years in the flower bushes.

It seems that I was really planted!Lin Xiao thought to himself.But what he planted was willingly, even if a moth flies into the flame, he would not hesitate to do so.I just hope that everything is just an illusion, all his wild imagination.

Sometimes, Lin Xiao would regret seeing the increasingly unfamiliar Gu Li. It would be great if he had never received that inexplicable letter and stayed in that remote mountain village forever.

But Lin Xiao knew that this was just a thought, and this kind of thing would never happen.

He is the son of Prince Anyang, and this matter will not change because of his evasion. One day, he will still have to shoulder this responsibility.

Xiao Twist's deceitful letter just brought up the time.

Reminds me of Little Twist...

Lin Xiao paused, and said that since that incident happened, he has never seen Xiaomahua, and it is time to meet him.

So, halfway through the journey, Lin Xiao turned around and walked towards the dungeon of the palace.

……

Seeing Xiaomahua again, Lin Xiao's heart is complicated.

There was a gap between them, and the eyes of the two intersected in the air.

After a long time, the two looked away, looking a little embarrassed.

After all, Xiao Twist has been with Lin Xiao for so many years, and the two already have a strong relationship.

King Anyang took this into consideration and did not torture Xiaomahua, so Xiaomahua seems to be in good condition now.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Lin Xiao also understood what King Anyang meant.But he himself was busy;

Secondly, he also evaded this matter to some extent, and selectively forgot Xiaomahua here. If he hadn't brought it up today, he might have delayed it for a while.

"Why?" Lin Xiao asked, only to realize that his voice was hoarse.

"No reason!" Little Twist looked down at the ground, and said nonchalantly, "If you want to do it, do it, there is no reason."

"I don't believe it." Lin Xiao shook his head, put aside those emotions at the beginning, now that he calmed down and thought about it, Xiaomahua didn't seem like a person who would do such a thing.

Although Xiaomahua is sometimes a little greedy and lazy, his shortcomings are not much less than him.

But there is one thing, Xiao Mahua is very affectionate and knows how to be grateful, which is why King Anyang let Xiao Mahua follow Lin Xiao all the time.

Xiao Twist has been with him since he was a child. Although the two sometimes disagree and lose their temper, it is mostly for his own good.

Such a person said that he would betray him for a little profit, Lin Xiao didn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

After all, the company for so long is not a joke.Otherwise, Lin Xiao wouldn't be here today;

"You don't believe it?" Xiao Twist laughed, with a sneer in her voice: "What's the use if you don't believe it, it's the truth, isn't it?"

"What about the reason? There must always be a reason for doing things, right?" Lin Xiao would not be easily taken over by Xiao Mahua because of this, and he still held onto it.

Lin Xiao's words made Xiao Mahua couldn't help laughing again.

"Reason, is reason that important? Anyway, the result is like this. Is it interesting to worry about this now?"

Lin Xiao was silent. Indeed, the matter had already happened, and it was meaningless to dwell on it. No matter what, it could not change the fact that Xiao Twist had betrayed her.

but……

"You have been with me for so long, and you always give me a reason to betray."

"Hahaha——" Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Xiaomahua couldn't help laughing again.

After a long time, Xiao Twist's laughter stopped.

"Is there a reason?" Xiao Twist's voice gradually lowered, and then she approached the cell door.

Lin Xiao knew what was going on, and quickly listened.

After a while of whispering, Lin Xiao's eyes widened.

"It's impossible—" Lin Xiao hurriedly took two steps back, his expression frightened, "How is this possible, you are lying to me!"

Xiao Mahua didn't speak, but just looked at Lin Xiao with a mocking face.

"Impossible—" Lin Xiao shook his head, as if frightened, he gradually backed away, and then disappeared.

"Hahaha——" Seeing this, Xiao Mahua laughed even more wildly.

After leaving the cell, Xiao Twist's wild laughter still lingered in Lin Xiao's ears.

Lin Xiao was in a trance, and finally returned to his room somehow.

After an unknown period of time, the servant girl from Chuanshan came over.Hearing the movement, Lin Xiao recovered.

A dark light flashed in his eyes, and Lin Xiao made a decision in his heart.Then it returned to life, and the whole person recovered instantly.

Glancing at the sky outside, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "It's been so long before I knew it, and I'll go to Ah Li later to talk about the system."

Thinking of Gu Li, Lin Xiao's depressed heart suddenly became clear.
