Jianghuke

Sure enough, there was a strong wind that night.

Chi Heting woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, shivering and rolled out of bed, closed the windows on all sides, and was going to go back to continue dreaming about Duke Zhou.The moment he closed his eyes, the appearance of Gu Miao when he said "the wind is going to blow up" in the daytime flashed by for no reason.

It seemed to mean something, and there was faint worry between the brows.

Are you afraid of being frozen at night?

Walking in front of Yan Luo Palace, a serious injury seemed to have hollowed out Gu Miao's foundation, making him not only weak and lethargic, sleepy all day long, but also a little chilly.Otherwise, go ask if you want an extra bed bedding?

Chi Heting suddenly couldn't fall asleep.He tossed and turned for a long time, got out of bed resignedly, fumbled to light a windproof lantern, and walked towards Gu Miao's room with it.

Halfway through, I felt a little regretful.

After more than half a month, Gu Miao's injury gradually improved, and the vigilance and indifference deep in his bones also awakened, especially when he didn't like being approached while sleeping.The last time I went to change his medicine by myself, this guy pinched his wrist purple in a daze, half asleep and half awake, and it took two days for the medicine to disappear.

The lessons learned from the past were too painful, Chi Heting walked around the yard twice, but still didn't dare to knock on the door, and if he said he would go back, he would feel unwilling.After lingering for a long time, he felt that it was really sick for him to come out to take a shower in the middle of the night. He spat, and was about to give up, when he suddenly heard the soft sound of a candlestick falling over. He frowned, and immediately turned around and pushed the door in, calling out: " Gu Sanshui?"

He called twice, but the room was silent and there was no response.

Chi Heting walked in slowly with the lantern in hand, a packet of powder was lightly caught between his fingers, it was colorless and odorless, it poured immediately after touching it.

The bed where Gu Miao was supposed to be asleep was empty.

Seeing that there was no difference in the room, except that there was someone missing, he put the lantern aside, slowly bent down to pick up the candlestick that fell on the ground, and relit the candle.

This time, I finally saw a figure in the corner beside the bed.

"Gu Sanshui, don't sleep on a good bed, you...are you alright?"

Gu Miao looked very bad.His eyes were closed, his face was gray, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, his temples were drenched in cold sweat, his long hair stuck to his cheeks in locks and locks, his whole body seemed as if he had just been fished out of the water, it was frighteningly cold.

Chi Heting's expression suddenly became serious, and he knelt down beside him, touching his wrist, with a look of surprise on his face, he simply rolled up his sleeves, and lightly stroked the conspicuous long light black line on his arm with his fingertips, He whispered in disbelief, "Is it poison?"

Where did the poison come from?

After thinking for a while, he rummaged through to find the silver needle, brought a candlestick over, picked Gu Miao up and put him back on the bed, took off his shirt, and sat up firmly.

The room was brightly lit, Chi Heting frowned slightly, held his breath and concentrated, and began to apply the needle methodically, his expression was unprecedentedly focused, fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, but his technique was accurate and steady, his hands and needles were swift and neat, without any hesitation , gently twisting the silver needles into the acupuncture points, even a bit pleasing to the eye.

After half an hour.

Chi Heting came in with a basin of hot water, wiped him, changed his clothes, and touched his hand with some concern.

Still very cold.

It won't burn up in the middle of the night, will it?

He threw the soft towel back into the copper basin, thought for a while, and decided to take the quilt in his room and put it on top of it.A little warmth is better than nothing.

But Chi's attempt to leave failed.

Gu Miao didn't wake up, but felt that the warmth around her was drifting away, so she instinctively reached out and grabbed Chi Heting, pulling Chi Heting back.He clenched it tightly, and Chi Heting tried to pull back his sleeve several times to no avail, so he could only whisper: "Gu Sanshui... Gu Sanshui? Let go, hello, Gu Miao?"

Didn't get any response.

He yelled two more times, but felt a little futile, so he closed his mouth and stared blankly at the hand in a daze.

The finger bones are distinct, thin and long, delicate and soft like suet white jade, with a faint porcelain white luster under the candlelight.

It is even more beautiful than the first glimpse in memory.

Chi Heting was stunned for a long time, as if bewitched, he stretched out his hand and slowly covered the pale and thin hand, letting the coolness flow into his palm, and said in a low voice: "Chidie is carrying a treasure map, the rumor should have It was released by me. Now I am in the Ling Zhuzhou, but it still appeared. Is it a dream, or something that really happened?"

Gu Miao grabbed his sleeve, breathed steadily and long, and slept deeply.

"If I remember correctly, the Qiankun Cave will appear soon. In the next ten years, the entire Jianghu will not be peaceful, and various sects will rise and fall alternately. Only Xuanzong has been prepared to become more stable in this precarious storm. At that time, you will Fall into Fang Hongxuan's hands and suffer all kinds of humiliation; while I will enter the Qiankun Cave and die under the last mechanism." Chi Heting sat on the bedside and murmured to himself in confusion, "The rumors are not because of me. If you leave and change, then the others also..."

He fell silent.

That night Chi Heting didn't sleep soundly, as if something was clucking at him all the time, moving around and making a lot of noise.

It is twilight in the east, and the rooster crows three times.

"... Doctor Chi."

Chi Heting smacked his mouth unconsciously, completely unaware of the imminent disaster.

"Puff".

Someone was thrown out of bed and woke up.

"Doctor Chi," Gu Miao hugged the quilt and looked down at him condescendingly, frowning, as cold as ice, "Why did you sleep on my bed?"

Chi Heting was stunned.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that he would be thrown out of bed early in the morning after busy work for half the night.

"I..." Chi Heting got up in a dizzy manner, holding his head, and saw the silver needles and copper basins on the table that hadn't been cleared up in time. When the cold wind blew, he suddenly woke up, "Gu Sanshui, you How heartless! If I hadn’t saved you last night, you would have gone straight to the King of Hades!”

"What happened to me last night?"

"I don't know what's wrong with you, you suddenly became poisonous, and fell to the ground shaking like chaff." Chi Heting grabbed the needle bag and cursed, "You are lucky, I have neither dazzled nor trembling hands, The injection of needles to force the poison went smoothly. Otherwise, do you think you can still see the sun today?"

He thought he could get a few good words, but he didn't expect Gu Miao to slap him in the face with a cold "meddling his own business" without moving his expression, and turned back to catch up on sleep.

Chi Heting was so angry that his face was dark all day long, and he looked like he was ready to slash people with a knife at any time, scaring away several people who came to buy medicine.

At lunch time, Gu Miao did not show up;

In the evening, it still didn't show up.

The cat eating under the crabapple tree disappeared.

Chi Heting was chopping the meat on the chopping board, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He raised the kitchen knife and slammed it at the chopping board, walked quickly to the door that had been closed all day, and knocked hard.

He didn't expect Gu Miao to come and open the door either.

But the door answered by itself, and "squeaked" opened a crack.

It was a lie.

Chi Heting was stunned for a moment, and looked at the crack of the door with some uncertainty, looking horizontally and vertically, he saw a trace of awkwardness from the thin and narrow crack.

……

Let's just call it awkward.

He suddenly wasn't so annoyed, restrained his murderous aura, and called out, "Gu Sanshui?"

After a long time, there was a low, weak promise.

Chi Heting's heart skipped a beat.Could it be that after a day of starvation, something happened?

Gu Miao huddled under the quilt, heard him coming in, and muffled, "Why did you come here?"

Chi Heting: "..."

He lifted the quilt and saw Gu Miao whose face was flushed red, he didn't know what to say: "If I don't come, will you let yourself be burned into a fool?"

Gu Miao remained silent.

Chi Heting sighed again and again, fetched water, dipped a wet handkerchief and applied it to his forehead, heated up the soup at noon, and fed him a little bit of it. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, I brought it over with all my brains.

Gu Meiren leaned on the soft cushion in a daze, never refusing anyone who came, and took whatever drink or whatever was offered, looking weak and about to pass out, so dazed that Chi Heting couldn't say a single serious word.

He endured and endured, and still said euphemistically: "...you must know how to take care of yourself when you go out."

Gu Miao glanced at him and said hoarsely, "Before I met you, I was never sick."

Chi Heting: "?"

Are you still relying on yourself for co-authoring? ? ?

Gu Miao probably felt a little cold, shrunk his neck, and got under the quilt a little more, before continuing: "Yesterday you forced the poison out, and today I have a fever."

More and more outrageous.

Chi Heting laughed angrily: "Yes, yes, it will save you from having a fever if you die."

"This poison..." Gu Miao lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was in a state of hesitation, and after a while, she raised her eyes to look at him, and said softly, "It happened before."

before?

Looking at each other, Chi Heting blinked, suddenly his throat tightened and his heart beat faster.

These days, both of them will tacitly avoid such topics, birth, origin, past... Those things seem to be buried in the bottomless darkness, keep silent, seal each other in silence, and walk on thin ice. Walking on it, passing by each other, gradually drifting away.When they meet again in the future, they are still strangers who meet by chance.

Now... what does this mean?
