Qi Gu·Crazy Love

"Hey! Give me your hand!"

Hearing the shout, Gu Xichao barely opened his eyelids in the strong wind, and couldn't help but get excited—Qi Shaoshang?

No, this is not Qi Shaoshang. Although his eyebrows and eyes are similar, he is still a young man.

"Madman! Give me your hand!" Seeing that he was indifferent, the little Qi Shaoshang shouted angrily.His hand was still a foot away from Gu Xichao.

Gu Xichao sneered and shouted back, "How do you know I'm crazy?"

Beside them, the two boys from the Lei family and Sui Yunyuan's dominatrix had been swallowed up by the quicksand, turning into three nests on the sand surface, and then quickly flattened by a bigger wind and sand. So far, this "killer" The "Gu" group of six was wiped out.

"It's so good." Gu Xichao thought with satisfaction, "I can drop a whole body." He looked at this little Qi Shaoshang again, a large square cloth was placed under his body to prevent getting caught in quicksand, and he was holding a rope with his left hand , the other end of the rope is connected to an unshakable horse in the distance.He stretched out his hand to Gu Xichao with all his strength in the wind mixed with yellow sand, and leaned forward again, trying to grab his shoulder in vain, only a few inches away.

But Gu Xichao sneered, instead, she closed her eyes, moved her body slightly, and sank into the depths of the quicksand.His chest was pinched by the sand, and it became more and more stuffy and crowded. He coughed so hard that he opened his mouth and filled his mouth with sand. He couldn't breathe, and he didn't know anything.

"you're awake."

Opening his eyelids, Gu Xichao saw this little Qi Shaoshang's bright smile again.

"You have slept for two days, you must be hungry, get up and eat."

On the table, there are egg soup, rice, and green vegetables.

Gu Xichao sighed, sure enough, when one is unlucky, drinking cold water can make one's teeth gritty, and even death becomes elusive.In a fit of anger, he lifted the quilt and got off the kang, drank the soup in one gulp, and then poured the food into his stomach almost without chewing.

"This place is called Desert Fortress. It is located at the junction of Xining Prefecture, Huangtou Huihe, and Xixia. In the entire desert, we are the only ones who have water sources and can live there. My name is Ma Dalu. I am the guide here, and I also serve as an errand for the post office. ...."

Ma Dalu introduced himself enthusiastically, although Gu Xichao had never seen him except the moment he just woke up.

"... There is a large expanse of quicksand on the outskirts of Desert Fortress. It is dangerous to enter and exit, but it is also a barrier for the next generation. Therefore, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there are thieves who come here to start a thief business; there are also rich people who set up outhouses here; there are also knights and robbers. Those who are here to provide for the elderly, avoid disasters, and recuperate from injuries..."

Gu Xichao listened to his subtext, looked down at the clean clothes on his body, and knew that Ma Dalu had seen his injuries.

"We have a lot of quicksand here. Quicksand alone is not the deadliest thing in the desert. Sandstorms are more serious. Piles of sand fly over and can bury people alive! When the wind is strong, it is possible to choke to death. Although the desert The residents of the castle know the routes to get in and out, but I grew up here, and I am the only one who can pass unimpeded when the wind blows, so if you want to leave, remember to ask me to lead the way." Ma Dalu smiled: "But If you encounter quicksand, just stay still like you. Slowly and gently pull out your feet, spread your limbs as much as possible, lie on the ground, and roll or crawl over to a safe place. Remember to slowly...the more you struggle, The faster it sinks. That's how your companion dies."

"They're not my companions." Gu Xichao sneered and walked out the door without thanking her.

It took him an hour to complete the desert castle, and Ma Dalu followed him without hesitation: "This is the blue lake,...that is the eagle eye spring,...the Populus euphratica tree is golden in autumn and winter, which is very amazing. ...a total of 110 households. This is the only street in Desert Castle—North-South Street—because it runs north-south; therefore, this side is East Castle, and that side is West Castle. Although Desert Castle is a Jedi, it also has Jedi Although it is remote, it has complete facilities, and there are all kinds of businesses, but things are expensive,... Also, the sunset in Desert Castle is the most beautiful."

He explained in detail and with a bright smile, as if Gu Xichao was a rich man who would reward a lot of money at any time.

Gu Xichao touched the bag, there were indeed a few taels of silver in it, but he didn't reward Ma Dalu with a single penny, but returned to the middle section of Nanbei Street, rented the mud house facing the street, bought kitchen utensils and stoves, and settled down. Cook soup every day to sell.

In February, it was warm and cold, and he sold ginger soup and jujube soup.It is really good to boil, to dispel the cold and warm the stomach, sweet and palatable.It's just that he doesn't talk.When someone came, he scooped up a bowl of soup and put it on the table. After the other party finished drinking, he put down a coin and left; there was another small table next to the stove, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, brush, ink, paper and inkstone. It is writing letters on behalf of Gu Xichao. Gu Xichao's handwriting is beautiful, and he can earn about a hundred yuan a day, which is enough for basic necessities.

It is rare to see Gu Xichao such an elegant and handsome person in Desert Castle. At the beginning, the neighbors excitedly came over to ask questions.

Only Ma Dalu was left, and Ma Dalu would "drop in" every day to drink a bowl of soup, and then let the money go.

"I told the neighbors that your surname is Liu and your name is Mosha, because you came wearing a willow-green Mr. Wensheng cloak, and because you met you in the wind and sand in the desert." Ma Dalu said.

Gu Xichao wondered why such a round-faced and big-eyed person likes to be nice to others unconditionally?

When closing the stall, Ma Dalu would show up, lend a hand, and help collect tables and benches, etc., but Gu Xichao shut Ma Dalu out of the door after finishing cleaning.

One night, when the moon was shining brightly, Gu Xichao stood on the roof and blew the Xun, and the desolate sound rang out. The neighbors couldn't help but put down what they were doing and listened carefully. Grief, or make the heart surge, imagination.

Ma Dalu stared blankly at Gu Xichao's silhouette in the night: Who is so perfect?

People soon liked Gu Xichao again because of his rhythm and handsomeness, but they liked him at a distance and patronized his small business silently.

As summer approached, Gu Xichao replaced it with plum soup and chrysanthemum soup, which sold better.

In autumn, a plague hit.

The plague was brought back by the shopkeeper Chen, who was nearly fifty years old.He fell ill outside with fever, vomiting and diarrhea, so he had to come back to recuperate. Unexpectedly, he infected his mother and infant daughter, and the three of them died within ten days. The old aunt and Jiu Ye in Chen's neighbors also had this disease, and then more people got the disease.

By the time of the winter solstice, more than [-] people had died in Desert Castle, most of them old, weak and young.

Gu Xichao could have fought against this infectious disease, but Qi Shaoshang's sword was too heavy; Mu Jiuping's spear and sword were too heavy; Wan Qing's death was too heavy.Unhealed old illness, mentally and physically exhausted, is the best entry point for illness.

He was so burnt that he was confused, but the only pharmacy in the castle, Chunfengtang, and the only Mr. Fang, Wei had only one sentence: cool down.

Ma Dalu kept using cold water to wipe his body and ice his forehead.Every time he unbuttoned Gu Xichao's clothes and saw the scars on his left shoulder, chest and back, he cursed the person who did this cruelly thousands of times.

For three days and three nights like this, Ma Dalu waited on him all the time, and when he was extremely sleepy, he nestled next to Gu Xichao and took a nap, because Gu Xichao's family didn't have a second kang.

On the fourth day, Gu Xichao's fever subsided and he woke up.

Gu Xichao smiled when he saw Ma Dalu.At first, Ma Dalu thought he had finally unlocked Gu Xichao's heart, but he immediately realized that he was wrong.

"who are you?"

"...I'm Ma Dalu."

"Then... who am I?"
