Beside Xinghu Lake, there is an open space inexplicably. The original green grass is full of green grass, and the crisp bamboos have been lifted clean overnight, revealing the barren soil.
On this piece of soil, there were pieces of cloth stained with blood. Gu Yuan stared blankly at the morning sun slowly rising from the star lake. At this moment, he felt quite complicated.
"Its daybreak?"
Gu Yuan never thought that one night could be so short.
Looking at Qi Changguang standing by the lake, blowing the first ray of wind in the morning, Gu Yuan couldn't hide his gaze.
Qi Changguang slowly turned around and glanced at Gu Yuan, with a smile on his face.
"I have to go now."
"Is this... so fast?"
Qi Changguang pondered for a moment and nodded: "You have almost learned what you need to learn. When you understand the wind rising and the clouds disperse, I will teach you how to see Ziwei, how about it?"
Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment and nodded with difficulty.
Qi Changguang laughed, and after a brief silence, he walked up to Gu Yuan and patted his shoulder gently.
"How about it, have you made up your mind? How about you accept me as your master, and I will take you to the northern border and use the blood of the demon clan to help you temper the evil-suppressing sword in your hand!"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly.
Qi Changguang stared, but immediately relaxed his eyes and sighed.
"Pull me down, I know you can't go with me. Although I scolded you all night, but I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, you are a really good student. It's not that you are talented in learning swordsmanship, but that you are serious and hard-working. What on earth can you do?" There are so many geniuses? But as long as you take every step carefully, you will be able to stand at the top one day."
Gu Yuan smiled and nodded heavily.
"Okay! Let's go! Remember to tell your husband for me, and tell him that I, Qi Changguang, will take this steep to make him live happily in Star City!"
"Senior, let me see you off!" Gu Yuan said quickly.
"Don't send it away!" Qi Changguang left Gu Yuan with a carefree back, "Just come and pick me up when I come back."
Gu Yuan stood there, watching Qi Changguang's retreating back, and did not turn around for a long time.
For a long time.
Gu Yuan returned to the yard.
Zhong Wuchen was already sitting in the yard drinking porridge, eating the bamboo shoots he had not eaten yesterday, looking at Gu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Leaving?"
"Well, let's go."
"Come, let's eat something together."
Gu Yuan sat on the bamboo chair, still feeling a little melancholy.
"Do you regret it now?" Zhong Wuchen joked.
Gu Yuan shook his head, exhaled, and said: "It's just a little... It's strange to say that I have not known Senior Qi for a long time, but seeing him leave, I still feel a little uncomfortable."
"This is farewell." Zhong Wuchen said, "Do you know why I stay here every day when I come to Xingchen and never go out?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
"I met many people in the past. We exchanged cups and drank wine, and we fought against each other and fell asleep. Later, we all parted ways, whether due to life or death or different paths." Zhong Wuchen picked up a bamboo shoot and threw it into a bowl. , sighed and said, "Then I thought, if I don't get to know people, maybe there will be no separation anymore, what do you think?"
"Wouldn't that be boring?"
"Very boring?"
"yes."
"That's right..." Zhong Wuchen laughed and said, "Go back and rest after eating. Don't stay here anymore."
Gu Yuan was stunned.
In fact, he originally planned to take leave today.
Zhong Wuchen continued: "After practicing all night, you have to take a rest. Isn't today Saturday? All students at the Martial Arts Academy are on holiday. Let's come back the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yuan had breakfast and drove back home.
I don't know what the medicine for the golden sore given by Qi Changguang was made of. Not to mention, the pain has been relieved a lot, and the wound has even begun to heal. But now, it seems that the bloody wounds on it are still a bit shocking.
When I got home, my second uncle happened to be getting ready to go out.
Seeing Gu Yuan, the second uncle turned around and shouted.
"The eldest son of the Gu family is back."
The second aunt came out in a hurry and was surprised to see Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan had called last night and said he wouldn't be back tonight. What she didn't expect was that Gu Yuan would come so early.
"Come in quickly, why are you standing at the door?" The second aunt yelled, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"I've eaten, I've eaten." Gu Yuan said quickly.
When passing by, the second uncle suddenly noticed something. He glanced at Gu Yuan's hand, and there was a faint smell of blood.
"What happened to the hand?" He was not in a hurry to go out.
"It's okay, it's just a small injury. I got it from sword practice." Gu Yuan said quickly.
When the second aunt heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She quickly walked over and grabbed Gu Yuan's hand hidden behind her back.
Looking at the wounds with dried blood on them, the second aunt's eyes immediately turned red.
"Damn it, this is a sword practice? What kind of sword practice can you practice like this?" The second aunt's voice was trembling as she muttered, "You kid, could you have been tricked into a black kiln? "
Gu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Second Aunt, I am extraordinary, who can trick me into going to a black kiln?"
"That's hard to say." The second aunt said, "I read the news before, and some technical schools sent their students to electronic factories to work in the name of internship. Who knew that the martial arts academy..."
"Ahem!" Gu Jianshan coughed, interrupted the second aunt's words, and said helplessly, "The child has just come back, you should let him rest and catch his breath first!"
Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Yuan quickly went to the bathroom, washed his hands, rubbed off the blood scab, and then sprinkled the golden sore medicine left by Qi Changguang.
When I returned to the living room, my second aunt was already waiting with gauze.
He pulled Gu Yuan forward and wrapped his hand tightly with gauze. At Gu Yuan's strong request, he exposed a few fingers.
"You kid, aren't your fingers injured too?" the second aunt said angrily.
Gu Yuan subconsciously said: "Isn't Xiaoxia celebrating her birthday today?"
Gu Xiaolei on the side raised his head, his face full of curiosity.
"Sister Xiaoxia, it's her birthday, why do I need your finger?"
After he finished speaking, eyes suddenly fell on him, and Gu Xiaolei was curious.
Did you say something wrong?
"Ahem, I'm going to make a gift for Xiaoxia." Gu Yuan quickly explained.
It was a normal thing at first, but when asked by Gu Xiaolei, it seemed a lot abnormal...
"Brother, what gift do you want your finger for?"
"Shut up!" Gu Yuan said fiercely.
Gu Xiaolei shrank his neck.
Just in time to see Gu Chuxue coming in her pajamas, stuffed with slippers and ready to brush her teeth, Gu Yuan turned around and asked, "Chu Xue, I remember, did you buy a lot of colored paper before?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Do you want to use it?"
"Yeah." Gu Yuan said again, "Second Aunt, we still have the red paper we bought during the Chinese New Year, right?"
"What do you want these for?"
Gu Yuan smiled mysteriously, told a secret, then went to look for red papers, found some colored papers from Gu Chuxue, and immediately entered the room.
The people in the living room looked at each other.
"To prepare a gift for Xiaoxia, do you need these things?" Second Aunt asked confused.
Gu Chuxue shuddered: "Gu Yuan, isn't he planning to write a greeting card to Sister Xiaoxia?"
Gu Xiaolei immediately waved his hand: "Impossible! How can my brother be so stupid? Didn't he also take the red paper? With a blind guess, he is going to write a couplet for Sister Xiaoxia!"
The second aunt became more and more frightened as she listened, and quickly asked Gu Xiaolei to go in and take a look.
Not long after, Gu Xiaolei came out with a sad expression on his face.
"Brother's emotional intelligence is so low that he is actually folding paper cranes for Sister Xiaoxia! Let me tell you, how much can you express your feelings by writing a couplet?"
The second aunt looked at the door of Gu Yuan's bedroom, and then at the heartbroken Gu Xiaolei. Her vision went dark and she fell on the sofa.
"What a sin..."
