Gu She and Tao Mo woke up early in the morning. Tao Mo originally wanted to help Gu She wash up, but as soon as the door opened, he saw Gu Xiaojia walking into the room quietly with big bags under his eyes, carrying a water bottle.
Tao Mo tactfully went back to his room and took care of himself. Afterwards, Master Jin and Lao Tao were woken up one by one, and asked them to pack their luggage and set off after breakfast.
It took half an hour to go back and forth like this, and when everyone went downstairs, the shouts of hawkers were heard one after another outside.
Master Jin said: "Since my master has decided to leave, it is better to leave early than late, and don't delay, just ask for some dry food and take it with you on the way."
Old Tao thought so deeply.
Tao Mo asked Hao Guozi to prepare, and went upstairs to help Gu Xiaojia clean up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw that Gu Xiaojia had tidied up the room. Gu She stood in front of the bed, holding the bedpost with his hands, his face was still a little pale, but he was in good spirits.
Gu Xiaojia wrapped the big and small bags on his body, and then directed Tao Mo to say: "You support the young master."
Tao Mo stepped forward happily, stretched out his hand, and looked at Gu She eagerly.
Gu She glanced at him and put his hand on his shoulder.
Tao Mo only felt a warm current rippling from his shoulders and rushing straight to his forehead.
Gu Xiaojia turned around and looked at him strangely, "Why do you have one ear red and the other white?"
"Huh?" Tao Mo stammered, "It's hot."
Gu Xiaojia looked at his tightly-clothed jacket, and muttered, "Can't you take off the heat?"
Tao Mo shrank his head, not daring to make a sound, and moved forward slowly, for fear that his stride would be too big, and Gu She would be thrown down.
After finally moving to the corridor, Tao Mo and Gu She had a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.
"Do you want to rest?" Tao Mo asked.
Gu She said: "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Tao Mo said, "I'm afraid you are tired."
"Let's go."
Tao Mo exerted all his strength on the soles of his feet, stepping steadily on the floor.
"Relax." Gu She's voice sounded beside his earlobe.
Tao Mo felt the weight on his shoulders increase a bit, and his earlobe became redder, and said in a low voice: "Okay." His arm subconsciously raised, but before touching Gu She's clothes, he retracted.
Gu She's eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned towards him calmly.
The two finally moved to the stairs.
Gu Xiaojia ran up slowly, turned around and squatted in front of Gu She, and said, "My lord, I will carry you on my back."
Tao Mo was very annoyed! Why didn't he think of using his back
"No need." Gu She refused unexpectedly, "I'll go by myself."
Gu Xiaojia turned to look at him worriedly, then turned back and said, "Then I will walk ahead. Be careful, my lord."
Gu She raised his foot and took a step, his brows furrowed instantly.
The movement of the body when going downstairs is obviously greater than moving on flat ground. Nearly 20 steps, it took the three of them a whole stick of incense to walk. When Gu She's feet landed on the floor of the first floor, Gu Xiaojia and Tao Moqi breathed a sigh of relief and raised their hands to wipe their sweat.
Hao Guozi came in from the door and saw that they were still standing there, and asked in surprise, "What else did you forget?"
Gu Xiaojia said: "I forgot to seal your mouth."
Hao Guozi was inexplicably rushed by him, turned to see Tao Mo panting, and hurriedly said, "Master, I will help you."
"No need." Tao Mo approached Gu She and waved to him, "You go and prepare the car first."
Hao Guozi looked at the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, and walked out without saying a word.
After finally waiting for Gu Shi to get into the carriage, Gu Xiaojia and Lao Tao turned over and rode immediately. Hao Guozi was driving the car, and Master Jin was still sitting on the shaft of the car. Only Tao Mo and Gu She were left in the carriage.
Tao Mo took out the dry food, placed a small piece and brought it to Gu She's mouth.
Gu She blinked at him and didn't move.
It was only then that Tao Mo realized that his actions were too ambiguous, his ears turned red at the same time, he retracted his hand embarrassingly, put the broken steamed bun into his mouth, and then handed a whole one to Gu She.
Gu She shook his head and said, "Eat it."
Tao Mo said, "Aren't you used to it? Then, what do you want to eat? Shall I buy it?"
"I'll sleep for a while." Gu She closed her eyes.
Tao Mo looked at his back lying on his stomach, and noticed that he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Since the carriage was Tao Mo's, and the carriage was narrow, Gu She had to lie on his side with his knees curled up. Although there were bedding and sheets that Gu Xiaojia brought from Gu's residence and sold in Qincheng under the cushions, the carriage swayed violently. Tao Moguang sat by and watched, feeling uncomfortable.
After leaving Qincheng, Tao Mo noticed that Gu She's face turned pale, and hurriedly knocked on the car wall and said, "Stop."
Hao Guozi stopped the carriage and poked his head in suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Outside, Gu Xiaojia and Lao Tao stopped their horses.
Tao Mo took the water bag and placed it near Gu She's lips.
Gu She opened his eyes, looked at the water sac and frowned.
Tao Mo said: "This water bag is new, never used."
Gu She just took a sip.
Tao Mo saw that he was obviously not as energetic as he was in the morning, and felt distressed and sad, his hands holding the water bag tightened.
Master Jin said: "Probably the car is too bumpy."
Hao Guozi muttered, "The road is not smooth, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Master Jin thought for a while and said, "Master, it's better to hug Mr. Gu, maybe it can cushion the bumps."
"Hug?" Tao Mo was so shocked that he almost didn't know how to put his hands and feet.
Gu She opened his eyes again, looked at the bewildered Tao Mo, and sat up silently.
Under the watchful eyes of Hao Guozi, Master Jin, Lao Tao and Gu Xiaojia looking in from the window, Tao Mo slowly moved behind Gu She. Gu She lay down, resting her head on his lap.
Master Jin and Hao Guozi looked at each other and shrank back.
The car moved slowly.
Gu She couldn't help shaking, Tao Mo put his arms half around his shoulders.
Gu She turned pale, "Tell me some stories."
"Story?" Tao Mo looked embarrassed. From childhood to adulthood, he has heard many stories, but he has never told anyone. He was not good at words, how could he be eloquent in a hurry.
Gu She said again: "It's okay to talk about your experiences."
Tao Mo Ning frowned and thought for a while, "Then, then I'll talk about my childhood."
"Um."
"Let's talk about my first wife first." Knowing that Gu She was in a bad mood, Tao Mo tried to think of something funny. After thinking about it, there are only those embarrassing things in childhood that were not on the stage. "My first wife was a female wife. My father said that she was young and widowed. She was very pitiful. It was rare for her to be able to read and write. She had some literary talents, so he invited her to enlighten me."
Gu She listened quietly.
"This female wife is good, but she is too good." Tao Mo said, "I was naughty when I was young, and I didn't want to sit in the classroom to study hard, so she let me go and dealt with my father for me. That's it, She indulged my naughtiness for two years until she remarried."
Gu She thought, maybe it's not only his wife who pampered him, but also his father
"My second wife is an old man who is over seventy years old. His eyesight is not good, unless he looks close to the other person, he can only see the outline. I took a few classes and found that after he often mistook me and Hao Guozi, Let Hao Guozi go to the school for me." Tao Mo said, his voice suddenly lowered, "If I hadn't been ignorant and self-righteous back then, I wouldn't be illiterate and achieve nothing today."
Gu She said: "It's not all bad."
Tao Mo was taken aback, and said, "Why?"
"The enlightenment teacher is the beginning of your studies, and it is very important. The two chosen by your father for you, will they be famous in the world?" Just listening to his recitation, Gu She can guess that Master Tao is probably more helpful than a substitute. Children study heart.
Sure enough, Tao Mo scratched his head and said, "That's not true."
Gu She said: "It is better not to learn than to learn incorrectly."
Tao Mo said, "Then, who should I seek enlightenment from?"
Gu She was silent.
Tao Mo turned his head, as if to see another scenery, but he couldn't believe it.
For a long time.
Gu Shecai said indifferently: "Do you have a more suitable candidate than me in your mind?"
…
Of course not!
Tao Mo said in disbelief, "You, are you really willing to teach me?"
Seemingly hearing the excitement in his words, Gu She smiled slightly and said, "I'm neither conniving nor old-eyed. Don't regret it."
"No, I will never regret it. I will definitely study hard!" Tao Mo replied loudly.
