A few days passed, and no one in the house knew what was going on in the house except Gu Xiaotian who came out to fetch water several times.
Huang Shengjie and Duan Peng improved a lot after a few days of recuperation. They first came to Gu Xiaotian to ask about Yu Wenji's condition.
Outside the house, Li Mu stopped the two of them and said, "Brother Gu said that no one would be allowed in without his order."
Huang Shengjie curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Gu Xiaotian still wants to stop me?"
With a hint of embarrassment, Li Mu replied: "I'm sorry, we still have to listen to Brother Gu. He hasn't slept in the past few days, so it's best not to disturb him as much as possible."
Huang Shengjie couldn't care less and stepped forward to pat the door.
Fortunately, Duan Peng was still a scholar. He stopped Huang Shengjie and turned back to Li Mu: "Then please inform Gu Xiaotian and ask him to come to the Ninth Courtyard to find me when he is free."
Li Mu nodded in agreement, and Duan Peng left with Huang Shengjie.
On the way, Huang Shengjie complained: "You nerd, can you really bear to see Gu Xiaotian suffocate to death in this broken house?"
Duan Peng shook his head. He could understand Gu Xiaotian's current mood, but if he rushed in at this time, he was afraid that Gu Xiaotian would go crazy and fight them.
He had just escaped a disaster and his body had not fully recovered yet. It was better not to be too impulsive at this time.
"Everything depends on how he understands it." Duan Peng said leisurely.
Outside the house, Li Mu was also very concerned about Gu Xiaotian. They could all see the way Gu Xiaotian came out to fetch water in the past few days. The dark circles under his eyes told all the facts.
Moreover, Gu Xiaotian has not eaten in the past few days, only drank some water, and there was no sound in the house. He was afraid that Gu Xiaotian would be stupid and not accompany Yu Wenji.
Li Mu gently knocked on the door twice and asked into the room: "Brother Gu, the food has been delivered. Do you want to have some food?"
As the saying goes, people are strong and strong. If this continues, Gu Xiaotian may not be able to hold on until Yu Wenji wakes up.
Gu Xiaotian's weak voice came from the room: "If you don't want to eat, send it back."
Li Mu didn't try to persuade him anymore. It had been like this these past few days. He asked questions every day and got the same answer every day.
After taking the food away, Li Mu continued to stand guard at the door and looked into the room with a worried look. If this continued, it might ruin all Gu Xiaotian's practice.
Gu Xiaotian has been in the house these days, except for quietly looking at the sleeping Yu Wenji, without any movement, neither practicing nor reading.
When she was hungry or thirsty, she would scoop out a bowl of water to drink. Seeing that Yu Wenji's lips were dry, she would also feed her some water, or wipe her dry lips with water.
Gu Xiaotian has been staring at Yu Wenji on the bed for who knows how many days.
Yu Wenji on the bed moved her eyes slightly and raised her fingers slightly. Gu Xiaotian could see clearly and became happy: "Wenji, do you feel better?"
But there was no reply. Yu Wenji still fell asleep like this. Gu Xiaotian sighed and waited peacefully.
For several days in a row, Huang Shengjie came countless times and came back in despair every time.
Huang Shengjie simply squatted down where Gu Xiaotian was fetching water, waiting for Gu Xiaotian to fetch water.
Seeing Gu Xiaotian walking in the distance to fetch water, Huang Shengjie jumped out and asked Gu Xiaotian in a somewhat stern tone: "You kid, you have been staying in the house these days, how is Yu Wenji?" Already?"
Gu Xiaotian didn't make any answer, just silently fetching water.
Huang Shengjie was also impatient, so he slapped Gu Xiaotian squarely in the face.
Gu Xiaotian didn't react at all. Seeing Huang Shengjie's angry look, he silently scooped up a bowl of water and handed it to Huang Shengjie.
Huang Shengjie drank heavily, held Gu Xiaotian's shoulders with both hands and said, "No matter what happens to Yu Wenji, Xiaotian, you have to come out, you know?"
Gu Xiaotian lowered his eyes and looked sad, but he quickly forced a smile and left only three words: "I'm fine."
Then, without waiting for Huang Shengjie to say anything else, he put away the bowl and walked back into the house carrying the bucket.
In the room, Gu Xiaotian patiently wiped Yu Wenji's dry lips, couldn't help but hold his hands together, and prayed secretly.
One day, two days, three days.
In the past few days, every time Yu Wenji made some movement, Gu Xiaotian would immediately become happy, but every time it brought him endless disappointment.
I don’t know how long this situation lasted, but there were already people standing outside the house, including Huang Shengjie, Duan Peng and even Leng Qingqiu.
Li Mu said with a pleading tone: "Brother Gu has been here for half a month. He only ate once, and he only ate less than half a bowl of white rice. If this continues, I'm afraid that Gu will Brother Gu can’t bear it any longer, so brothers and sisters, please help to persuade Brother Gu.”
Leng Qingqiu had always been reluctant to talk too much, but when he heard Gu Xiaotian was abusing his body like this, he kicked the door open.
Gu Xiaotian also raised his head to see clearly who was coming, but he just looked and did not make any unnecessary movements. He continued to sit by the bed and hold Yu Wenji's hand.
Everyone also followed Leng Qingqiu's footsteps into the house.
Everyone was shocked. Gu Xiaotian could have been considered a young man with good temperament, but now, with disheveled hair, sunken eye sockets, and a haggard face, he seemed to have aged ten years in the past few days.
Leng Qingqiu pulled Gu Xiaotian up, and Gu Xiaotian stood up like a puppet, his eyes empty and his face expressionless.
Leng Qingqiu asked with a cold tone: "Xiaotian, do you know what you have done these days?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and said nothing.
Leng Qingqiu continued to question Gu Xiaotian: "That was the path she chose. She exchanged her future for your future. As a result, you are depressed here. Have you ever thought about her?"
This question touched Gu Xiaotian's heart and broke the last fragile line of defense in his heart.
As if his emotions had been accumulated for too long, Gu Xiaotian burst into tears at this time, like a newborn baby who could no longer hold it in.
Gu Xiaotian's loud crying only echoed in the room, and everyone stood aside with sad expressions on their faces.
Leng Qingqiuxu hugged Gu Xiaotian and patted his back. This was the first time she had seen this junior brother cry so sadly.
But she also understands that this is the cruelty of this Eight Wasteland Continent. There are always people who have to leave, and there are always people who will lose anything except their lives.
This is just the first lesson Jiang Hu has taught Gu Xiaotian. If in the future, when Gu Xiaotian becomes stronger, he may have to face real life and death.
On the bed, Yu Wenji, who had been sleeping, seemed to sense everyone, and heard a faint voice: "Thirsty."
Gu Xiaotian, who had the sharpest ears, immediately stopped crying, went to scoop out a bowl of water from the bucket, and fed it to Yu Wenji lightly.
Yu Wenji drank a whole bowl in one breath and struggled to get up from the bed.
Gu Xiaotian helped Yu Wenji get up and leaned on the wall. Yu Wenji closed her eyes and asked weakly: "Xiaotian, you have worked hard these days."
Gu Xiaotian wiped away the tears still hanging on his face, and said coldly and warmly: "Wenji, you just woke up, do you feel any discomfort?"
Yu Wenji continued to close her eyes and shook her head: "No, I think everything is fine with me."
Then he continued: "Xiaotian, I know what I am like."
Gu Xiaotian opened his mouth, as if he had a lot to say, but Yu Wenji's words knocked them all back.
"Wenji, why did you protect me in the first place? You could obviously not be hurt." Mentioning this, Gu Xiaotian recalled that in the Demon Tower, Yu Wenji rushed to him desperately and helped him block it. A fatal blow, and the tears in his eyes could not stop flowing down again.
Yu Wenji could also feel Gu Xiaotian's crying. She stretched out her hand, groped around, found Gu Xiaotian's face, and gently wiped his tears.
Then he smiled and replied: "Because, compared to my life, you deserve to live in this world more than me."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaotian seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and cried loudly again.
Outside the house, Tong Wuqi arrived at the outer courtyard at some point, stepped over the steps, and walked in.
Everyone bowed their hands when they saw Tong Wuqi, and Tong Wuqi pressed his hands, indicating that there was no need to say hello.
Tong Wuqi looked at Gu Xiaotian who was crying loudly. He looked like a child and could only jump up and pat Gu Xiaotian on the head, and then said: "Okay, such a big man can cry like a woman."
Gu Xiaotian saw Tong Wuqi and asked, "Master Tong, you came here because Wenji's injury has been cured?"
Tong Wuqi shook his head and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "I told you earlier, I am lucky to be able to save a life. Where can I get any panacea?"
When Gu Xiaotian heard this answer, he didn't respond much. It seemed that he already knew the result, but he was still unwilling to accept it.
Tong Wuqi smiled: "Just because I can't do anything, doesn't mean others can't do anything."
When Gu Xiaotian heard that there were other ways, he immediately became interested. Now he was a bit sick and wanted to seek medical treatment. If Tong Wuqi said that he wanted to kill a master who was seeking defeat and help Yu Wenji seize his body, he would go there. Do.
Tong Wuqi continued: "Huahai Tianxiang Valley, maybe it can heal your eyes. As for the true energy in your body, don't think about it for now. In short, the most important thing is to be a person with sound limbs."
Yu Wenji originally didn't have any hope. When she helped Gu Xiaotian block the attack, she had already prepared for the worst. Now that her life is still alive, she is already satisfied.
But Tong Wuqi said that there is a place where his eyes can be cured, and there is hope. After all, no one wants to be blind all his life.
Gu Xiaotian immediately responded: "Master Tong Peak, please quickly ask Wenji to go to Tianxiang Valley for treatment. We can't delay."
Tong Wuqi licked his nose and looked at Gu Xiaotian helplessly: "You can go, but Huahai Tianxiang Valley is also a sect, not to mention that their elder who can heal wounds has a bad temper, and she and I still have some problems. Celebrate the holidays.”
Gu Xiaotian also understood that Tong Wuqi was making conditions for himself, but it was straightforward: "Master Tong, as long as you can find a way, just say whatever conditions you have."
Tong Wuqi looked at Gu Xiaotian with admiration and nodded: "Okay, you said this yourself. Don't say I force you. The conditions are very simple. Go to Xuan Dan Peak and work for me at Xuan Dan Peak for a month. I will do it myself." Send Yu Wenji to Tianxiang Valley."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
this moment.
All the waiting is worth it.
