While Gu Xihe was venting his emotions, Gu Xiran was silently by the side, watching Ji Danqing examine Shu Huan's injury, without saying a word, until he really calmed down, sitting on the grass with his head bowed and sulking, then he opened his mouth slowly .
"Have you had enough trouble?"
His tone was very light, just like his expression, no emotion could be discerned, as if he was just asking about the weather casually.
Gu Xihe was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head stubbornly, and ignored him.
Gu Xiran didn't think it was disobedient, and still said calmly: "I am weak, so I practice martial arts to strengthen my body. Why do you practice along with me?"
When he asked this question, he didn't expect to get an answer, so seeing Gu Xihe pursed his lips tightly, he answered for him: "You are here for fun, to learn some martial arts so that you can go out and show off, but I didn't expect Practicing martial arts is so hard and dangerous, isn't it? I feel like shrinking back in my heart, and I can't hold back my face and say I don't want to practice... "
"That's not it." Gu Xihe interrupted him angrily, his face flushed red.
Gu Xiran raised his eyebrows: "Have you become angry from embarrassment?"
"No"
"Then why are you losing your temper?"
"Ask me even though you know it?" Gu Xihe retorted angrily, "I'm so angry that you don't care about my life or death."
Gu Xiran raised his eyebrows, and asked with a slight sarcasm: "Does it matter whether you live or die?"
"Yeah, throw me alone on the cliff and ignore me at all"
"You need to figure out one thing first." Gu Xiran raised his voice, "It was you who said you wanted to practice martial arts, so we let you climb that cliff. Don't you think that if you just sit here and don't move, martial arts will run to the top by itself?" Can't you go on it?"
"That can't be practiced like this." Gu Xihe said angrily, "If I stumble and fall, and everyone dies, why practice?"
Gu Xiran smiled: "Then did you fall?"
"No..." Gu Xihe was taken aback: "But I mean if I don't fall to my death, it's good luck, what if it's bad luck?"
Gu Xiran didn't make a sound at first, but reached out and took a bunch of scorched grasshoppers from Du Qiu, frowned slightly, took a bite, chewed twice and swallowed it, and handed the bunch of grasshoppers to Gu Xihe: " Do you want to have a taste?"
"No..." Gu Xihe raised his hand and patted the bunch of grasshoppers on the ground: "Is this something that people eat? You can bite it down."
"Yes." Gu Xiran twirled the grasshopper skewer in his hand, and said lightly, "If Du Qiu wasn't afraid that you would stumble and fall, he would have gone to hunt game somewhere else. Does he need to catch grasshoppers around here? Do you think he likes to eat this?" what?"
Hearing this, Gu Xihe immediately opened his eyes, with extreme surprise in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at Du Qiu, but he saw that Du Qiu's blank face was still expressionless, except for flipping the roasted quail in his hand occasionally, he didn't even make a single unnecessary movement.
After Gu Xiran finished saying what he wanted to say, he ignored him, put his hands behind his head, lay on his back on the ground, and looked at the gradually darkening sky.
silence.
Faced with this situation, Gu Xihe didn't know what to say, but just sat there with his mouth slightly open, in a daze.
At this time, Ji Danqing had smashed one or two kinds of herbal medicine and applied it on Shu Huan's ankle, which relieved her some pain.
Shu Huan was overwhelmed by the pain, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, took a look at Gu Xihe and said, "You should admit it, it's all because of your narrow-mindedness."
It wasn't her that Gu Xi was kind, so he pushed her to the injury in a rage, feeling a little guilty in his heart, but the word narrow-minded really didn't sound good to him, so he murmured dissatisfiedly: "Where is my narrow-mindedness..."
"Isn't it?" Shu Huan said embarrassingly, "not to mention Master Du, but your second brother, he was so stupid to take you out, wouldn't he bring you back completely? I noticed it just now when I combed his hair , he said in his mouth that he doesn't care about you, but he always looks at the cliff. If something happens to you, I think the two of them will be the first to rush to save you. It is clear that you are narrow-minded, and others treat you well You can't even feel it, and you still lose your temper, saying that people don't care about your life."
…
Every time she said a word, Gu Xihe's head drooped a little bit, and in the end, his head almost hit the ground. For the first time in his life, he realized what it means to be ashamed.
It seems that he really misunderstood himself...
But he's afraid of heights! Du Qiu is an outsider, so it's okay to ignore him, even Gu Xiran doesn't care about him, and said that it's okay to be afraid of heights, and it can be cured by climbing the cliff twice more. After saying that, he climbed down alone, lost He's up there alone...
This behavior really pissed him off.
Since he was a child, he has always been loved by his elders. Although there are many brothers and sisters in his family, none of them are close to him. Even his elder sister, Gu Yun, who is a sibling of his mother, he finds it boring and seldom pays attention to her. Therefore, the only playmates are Ran Mo and Di Yan, but they are book boys, separated by status, and the rules of master and servant are indispensable.
Now it is very easy to find out that the second elder brother who has been sick and weak for many years and stays at home is so interesting, and he is not like the elder brother who is born with the right to inherit. He is only favored by the master, which makes him instinctively reject him, so he can't help feeling a sense of intimacy in his heart At the end of the day, if you have nothing to do, you always have to go to Shengmei Pavilion twice to feel comfortable.
Being ignored and abandoned by someone who wants to be close is undoubtedly one of the most painful things in the world, not to mention that this person is still his brother, the only elder brother he likes at home...
To sum up the above reasons, Gu Xihe always felt that his anger was justified, so his words and deeds just now did not leave any room for others. He did not expect to be ashamed by Gu Xiran and Shu Huan's few words at this moment, but it was himself who was embarrassed.
"I..." He really wanted to apologize, but he had never done such a thing of showing weakness to others, so he was very embarrassed, especially when he told Du Qiu to go away before, and he didn't know if he would be willing Accept his apology, if not, wouldn't he be even more embarrassed
But rather than embarrassment, he was more afraid that Gu Xiran would get angry and ignore him from now on, so no one would take him to play. Thinking of this, he still walked up to Du Qiu, blushed and apologized: "Master Du, I... I just said something bad, don't...don't take it to heart..."
"Pfft—" Shu Huan was afraid that the herbal medicine applied to his ankle would be rubbed off. He was wrapping it in a handkerchief. I couldn't help laughing out loud.
I didn't expect that this laughter would make Gu Xi reconcile, and someone would pay attention to him, even if he was laughing at him, it would make him feel less embarrassed, so he immediately turned his head and glared at her: "What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing, you can't even apologize." Shu Huan said with a smile: "A teacher for one day, a father for life, your behavior just now is considered disobedient, at least you have to kneel down and kowtow to Master Du three times, this apology is considered Be sincere"
Want to kneel? have to kowtow
Gu Xihe frowned, originally he was reluctant, but his eyes happened to fall on Shu Huan's swollen ankle like a steamed bun, and the guilt in his heart couldn't help but heaved three points, then looked at Gu Xiran, lay there and closed his eyes, He didn't look at him at all, so he was heartbroken, he really lifted the hem of his clothes, and said: "Master Du, I was wrong, please forgive me..."
He was about to kneel down as he said that, but Du Qiu suddenly stretched out his hand to support him, and said flatly: "There is no need to apologize, as I said, I have taken your family's silver, and you can do whatever you want."
This is the best way, you get both money and goods, and you don't owe favors.
