Du Qiu refused to let him kneel, so Gu Xihe stood helplessly for a long time, as if he didn't know what to do, so he could only scratch his head with his hands, and then scratched his head again.

The words were said with a tense face, but Gu Xihe immediately breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over with a shy face and said, "Second brother, you're joking again, how can you?"

Gu Xiran said angrily: "Who is your second brother? Stand far away, and stop giving me a hippie smile."

Gu Xihe stepped back two steps obediently, then continued to scratch his head.

Shu Huan looked at this scene, holding back his laughter so hard that he couldn't help but maliciously speculate that Gu Xiran told him to back away, was it because he was afraid that his dandruff would be scattered everywhere...

Gu Xihe said with a wry smile: "I didn't mean to be tempered on purpose, isn't this a misunderstanding...Second brother, don't be angry, can you?"

Being coaxed by a child, Gu Xiran couldn't help but sit up and look at him, and said, "Forget it this time, next time you lose your temper, think about it first. I'm siblings with you, and I can tolerate you." You are self-willed, but if one day you go out of the house and become self-willed and stubborn regardless of the occasion, others will not accommodate you like this."

No one has ever said these words to Gu Xihe, in fact, even if he did, he would not take it to heart, but at this moment he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and he didn't know if he listened to it or not, but Answer: "I know, I know..."

"Also, you are not a milk doll anymore, don't pretend to be a tiger and lift the old matriarch out to oppress others. When you encounter something, you don't want to solve it by yourself. First cry and say that I will tell the majesty. It sounds very good and very majestic. Is it?"

Gu Xihe's face turned red and pale at what he said.

"One last question to you." Gu Xiran glanced at him: "Are you still learning martial arts? If you don't, you can play your game as soon as possible, and no one will restrain you. If you want to learn again, you should be conscious and don't show that A look of unwillingness to be persecuted."

Gu Xihe nodded desperately: "Learn from me"

"Answer so quickly?" Gu Xiran raised his eyebrows: "You'd better think about it clearly. As a man, you must have perseverance and responsibility in doing things. Don't force yourself if you don't want to learn. If you want to learn, you can't give up halfway."

Gu Xihe lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said firmly: "I will learn what my second brother learns."

It's like saying nothing

After a long time, this little brat still hasn't figured out that learning things is for himself, not for him. However, Gu Xiran was impatient to reason and lecture others. After taking a look at Gu Xihe, he stopped talking.

The bug meal was delicious and nutritious, but not many people dared to eat it. Gu Xiran and Ji Danqing both tasted it, and Gu Xi and Tong Shuhuan didn't even touch a bite. The two ate a bamboo chicken separately.

Even though it was hot summer at this time, as soon as the sun went down, the cold air in the mountains would be overwhelming. It would be very cold at night, and in order to prevent wild beasts from attacking at night, the fire was not daring to be extinguished, so everyone ate it first after dinner. After picking up enough firewood nearby, he sat down to rest around the fire.

Fortunately, the long grass that tends to accumulate dew beside the fire has been cleaned up by Du Qiu during the day, which will not only dry out the bare mud on the ground, but even the cut grass will be tanned by the sun. It is dry and fragrant, and it is a good place to sit and lie on the ground.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Gu Xiran's body was weaker, and he felt drowsy first, and lay down on the haystack. When he closed his eyes, he said vaguely: "Call me in the middle of the night, I'll watch the night."

Firstly, the night watch is to guard against wild animals, and secondly, the fire needs more firewood. It is a boring and tiring job, Du Qiu said: "I will keep watch in the first half of the night, and you all sleep."

Shu Huan picked up a branch and poked the fire, shook his head and said, "No, you go to sleep, I'll watch over, anyway, I've slept in the afternoon, so I'm not sleepy right now."

Du Qiuyuan didn't want a woman to watch the night, but seeing that she was very persistent, he gave up and said: "Wake me up immediately if there is anything."

Shu Huan agreed, and saw that Ji Danqing was not sleepy, so he had a conversation with him, and the two of them talked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting somehow, but she knew nothing about it except painting, so Ji Danqing picked up a branch on the ground I drew a chessboard, picked up some stones as chess pieces, and briefly taught her some basic skills.

Although Gu Xihe has studied for several years, and his family has hired a husband to teach these things, but how does he love learning? I hadn't listened to it at all, and I stayed aside at this moment, and found that I couldn't even get in a word, and the more I listened, the more boring I was, and I even felt a sense of inferiority and shallowness spontaneously, so I fell down sullenly and sullenly. asleep.

It is reasonable to say that art things are all connected, but Shu Huan is only interested in painting, piano and chess are just clouds in the sky to her, and she is learning chess now, not to increase her own Self-cultivation, or pretending to be a demure and versatile talented woman, but it is too boring, learning something, or to pass the long night, but after Ji Danqing went to bed, she put Go aside and played against herself. Play backgammon on the bad street.

After playing chess for a while, she felt bored, and seeing that everyone was fast asleep, she leaned on the stick that Gu Xiran had found for her, hopped to the front of the bundle she brought, and took out the thick clothes and cloak from inside, She covered the four of them separately. As for herself, sitting awake in front of the fire, she didn't feel too cold except that her back felt chilly, so she didn't need to add clothes.

The cliff not far away looks rugged and hideous at night, and the dense forest is especially gloomy, mixed with the chirping of night birds and the chirping of grass and insects, there is a sense of mystery that is vivid in silence, which always makes her Feeling that something would suddenly jump out and devour someone in the next moment, she had no choice but to look away, avoid seeing it, and looked up at the sky.

It was a deep darkness that couldn't be illuminated by countless stars, but the stars were so bright and so close that they seemed to be within reach. She had never seen such a clear and pure night sky before, so she did a stupid thing that countless people have done, and began to count the stars, counting, and suddenly felt the heat in her eye sockets, she stretched out her hand to touch, It was tears that flowed unconsciously.

I am homesick, thinking of parents who are far away in modern times, and probably will never see each other again, but I can't even get a little comfort under the starry sky. Who made her travel to an unknown and inexplicable time and space? I don't know if it's the same as what my parents saw...

She wiped away her tears slowly with her sleeves, and simply lay down, looking at the night sky and thinking about something.

Suddenly there was a slight rustling sound from the dense forest, and it disappeared when she pricked up her ears alertly to listen. Shu Huan laughed at himself, maybe it was the wind, or maybe it was some small beast sneaking across the grass to drink from a nearby spring.

She lay down for a while in the quiet night, feeling sleepy, afraid that she would accidentally fall asleep and delay the watch fire, so she turned over and sat up quickly, but she didn't expect to see the direction of the dense forest, and there was a black crossing Yue's shadow flashed by, and disappeared before he could see it clearly, which startled her, and when she was about to stretch out her hand to wake Du Qiu up, she hesitated again seeing the flames jumping on his calm face. Living-

Forget it, let's continue to observe for a while, if something is really wrong, it's not too late to wake him up.
