Gu Huaian has experienced strong winds and waves, but he didn't expect that his boat capsized in this small ditch and he almost couldn't climb out.
This should be a trap set by someone to capture wild animals. Fortunately, there are no hidden weapons underneath, otherwise I would probably have to reveal myself here.
However, this reminded Gu Huai'an that Zhiting didn't know martial arts, so she might have fallen into a trap like this. Gu Huai'an didn't think too much, jumped out of the trap, which was very important for him. It's not too tall, but for a woman who doesn't know martial arts, she shouldn't be too short. She shouldn't be able to escape by herself.
Thinking of this, Gu Huaian gradually came up with an idea. He followed the traps around him and walked further and further away from those who were looking for Zhiting. At this time, Gu Huaian could safely light a fire and search for Zhiting. .
Traps are used to catch small beasts, so as long as Gu Huaian pays more attention, he will not be caught again. However, he still carefully observed whether there was anyone in each trap. When he looked up, he saw the light of fire in front of him.
It was at the bottom of the stone wall. It looked quite hidden. Someone must be there. Gu Huai'an felt a little anxious, so he rushed over in three steps and two steps at a time. Unexpectedly, it was Zhiting who was squatting alone. Next to a fire.
Gu Huaian walked over and took a real look.
"This herb is called Fengmingcao. It will bloom only at dawn. This herb is most useful when picked at that time."
Gu Huaian looked at the plant in front of him and soon understood why the person in front of him had been waiting here.
Zhiting was actually scared to stay here alone. After hearing other people's voices, she raised her head in horror and felt relieved when she saw someone she knew in front of her.
"It turns out it's you, Master Gu. Did you mean to hide it from everyone? Why did you run out?"
"They won't know that I came out, but you. If you don't go back this late at night, your brother will be worried."
After hearing this, Zhiting lowered her head, a little embarrassed, "It doesn't matter, he is only worried about this night. If I miss this herb, I don't know how long I will have to look for it."
Zhiting lives in the south of the Yangtze River. Many medicinal herbs have only been seen in books. It is rare for her to be like this. When rare herbs appear around her, it is even more impossible for her to give up.
"Then are you going to stay here until dawn?"
"Originally I wanted to make a mark and go back, but I almost fell into a trap just now. I didn't know where I lost the jade pendant, so I went back to look for it, and the sky turned dark."
Gu Huaian looked back and saw that the sky had darkened and thick fog had fallen in the forest. Even if he wanted to go out at this time, it would probably be difficult. Zhiting staying here was indeed the smartest choice.
"Then let me wait here with you. Aren't you afraid of being here alone?"
Zhiting did not respond, but acquiesced to Gu Huaian's words. It was true that being alone in the mountains would be a little scary.
When the two of them stayed together, the atmosphere was still a bit awkward. Zhiting started to play with the jade pendant in her hand out of boredom. Gu Huaian felt a little curious and took it from Zhiting's hand.
"Where did you get this jade pendant? It looks quite exquisitely carved."
"It's just this piece. My father used to beat it for me with his own hands. Because there was not enough material, my brother's piece was very small."
Zhiting smiled while telling the person in front of her about the origin of this jade pendant. Only then did Gu Huaian realize that the person in front of him turned out to be the little girl he had met.
The texture of this jade pendant is unmistakable, and Gu Huaian also trusts his own feel.
"Have you ever cared for a blind person before?"
Gu Huaian asked Zhiting while looking at the jade pendant in his hand. Zhiting thought about it carefully, "It seems that such a thing happened, but it was many years ago."
Gu Huaian finally understood why he looked at the woman in front of him so kindly. Many years ago, when he was collecting medicine, he strayed into the deep forest and was bitten by a poisonous snake. He finally managed to escape from the forest with his last bit of strength. When he saw Guandao, he had already lost consciousness.
When I woke up, everything was pitch black.
When he reached out to touch it, he only touched the thick cotton cloth in front of him.
At that time, there was a short little girl taking care of him, but it seemed that that family member saved him.
"Master, are you awake?"
The first voice after Gu Huaian woke up was a deep voice, which sounded like the person in charge of the family.
Gu Huaian felt a little embarrassed and quickly wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by the little girl on the side, "Don't get up yet!"
Apart from myself, there seemed to be five people in the room at that time, like a family of five.
"Young master, you are really lucky. That venomous snake is highly venomous. However, the doctor here said that you seem to have taken rescue measures for yourself, so you will only have some temporary side effects. You will not be able to see bright light in your eyes these days."
"Brother looks thin and weak, and quite heavy. My eldest brother was having a hard time carrying you!"
The little girl's cool voice made Gu Huaian feel much better, and he also laughed with the family. However, he had never heard the voice of their second son. The wife said that the second son didn't like to talk, so she just He likes to study alone, but Gu Huaian can still feel that the people helping him in and out these days are two young people, probably the two sons of this family.
The eldest son of the family was a very talkative person and often played with his little sister in front of the window, but the second eldest son was taciturn. In Gu Huai'an's memory, he heard only a handful of words spoken by him.
But when I came this time, although I didn't know much about the invigilator, I didn't see that he had any family members other than Zhiting.
"Your brother's name is Song Lin?"
Gu Huaian still wanted to be sure, but he only remembered that the family that remembered him at that time was named Song. The wife of that family always called her son Lin'er. It was true that the invigilator's surname was Song, but he had come so many times. Hell, I haven't seen the rest of his family at all.
"Yes, you two have been working together for so many days, and you still don't know my brother's name?"
"this… "
As soon as Gu Huaian arrived at this place, so many things happened inexplicably. He had always only known that the invigilator's surname was Song. Calling him Master Song in front of him was already the limit. How could he have the chance to ask.
"Aren't you engaged yet?"
"Not yet. I don't know if that little brother will find me and marry me as he said."
Zhiting has indeed reached the age of marriage, but Song Lin is not in a hurry, and she has never met her sweetheart, so the matter has been delayed.
Gu Huaian has never forgotten that even though he couldn't see both eyes at that time, he still remembered that the little girl was very cute and often put her jade pendant in front of him. At that time, he couldn't see both eyes and his sense of touch became particularly special. It's so sensitive that I haven't forgotten those lines.
It seems that his family really saved him.
"Then... what if he finds you? Will you marry him?"
Gu Huaian has gone through so much, but Zhiting has always lived in this place and has never experienced any darkness. Song Lin protected her very well. Even if he wanted to marry her, Song Lin might not agree, right
"Then let's see what that brother is like now. If he is a hero who can be both literary and military, I would certainly like it. But if he is already married, forget it. I don't want to share my husband with others."
Gu Huaian carefully compared the conditions mentioned by the person in front of him with his own, and was silently wondering whether he met this standard. Zhiting saw that the person in front of him didn't respond, so he continued, "But if it is Someone like Mr. Gu, who is smart and good at martial arts, is definitely what I want."
Gu Huai'an had rarely come into contact with innocent women like Zhiting before. He couldn't tell what he liked, but only when he was with Zhiting could he feel completely Relax and make yourself feel comfortable.
Perhaps it was when he was bitten by a poisonous snake and was blind and unable to take care of himself. When this little girl took good care of him for many days, the fate of the two of them was already destined.
"Then can I think that you fell in love with me at first sight?"
"Um… "
After all, Zhiting was a girl with a thin skin. Instead of continuing, she turned her body sideways to avoid Gu Huaian's sight.
When the sky was about to dawn, Fengming grass finally bloomed, and the thick fog in the forest had dispersed. Gu Huaian could not stay with Zhiting in this place, so he could only take advantage of the day before it was bright. Leave quickly, hoping that no one in the hotel will notice that you have come out.
After returning, Gu Huaian walked around again, and then slowly walked into his room. No one else in the hotel had woken up yet, so he felt more relieved, but Song Lin was here. He really didn't sleep all night. When news came that he had found Song Zhiting, his tense nerves relaxed.
Before Gu Huaian returned to his room, he took a look around the area. Sure enough, he could see that someone had indeed been around his room. The branches of the trees next to him clearly showed traces of being touched. This hotel has been under his control in the past few days. Under the arrangement, no one except Song Lin is allowed in or out, which means that the person who cares about him so much is in this hotel.
