Mountain and River Pillow

Vol 2 Chapter 40: (6.17 two more)

    Having decided to find Gu Chusheng, Chu Yu ordered someone immediately, prepared silver bills, dry food, weapons and medicinal materials, brought a casual doctor and the dark guard given to her by Wei Yun, and went out overnight government.

      After staying in Kunyang for a while to let Yao Yong relax his vigilance, he started on the road.

    After Chu Yu came to Kunyang with a pseudonym, Wei Qiu led Chu Yu to the place where Gu Chusheng disappeared. Now the water flow has slowed down a lot compared to the previous days, Wei Qiu pointed at Gu Chusheng The position where he fell into the water said: "He jumped from here."

    "After jumping down, people disappeared?" Chu Yu looked at the river and looked around.

    Wei Qiu frowned: "The person suddenly disappeared."

    Chu Yu did not speak, this moat was familiar to Chu Yu, after all she and Gu Chusheng spent many years in Kunyang, guarding the stone lion on the edge of the moat, the bottom is actually hollow , When the river flows, it submerges the bottom, but it can provide about half a person's space, and the opening above the stone lion is where the airflow passes, which is completely a place for hiding people.

    If people are struggling to go somewhere in the river, at least they have to come up to breathe.

    The road to enter the inner belly of the stone lion is a bit tortuous, Chu Yu couldn't explain it for a while, and was worried that the people who went there were not careful enough to observe the environment, in case Gu Chusheng left behind what a mark.

    So Chu Yu looked at the stone lion and asked someone to tie a rope around her waist and climb down by herself. After falling into the river, she held her breath and came to the hollow below the stone lion. position, and then stick your head out.

    It was daytime, light fell from the lion's mouth, and Chu Yu could see the mottled blood on the wall.

    This bloodstain doesn't seem to have been left for a long time. After Chu Yu looked at the color and amount of blood, she probably determined that Gu Chusheng was not poisoned or seriously injured. When she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a symbol.

    The symbol was carved with something sharp, and it looked extremely small, but Chu Yu still recognized the meaning of the symbol—

    East.

    Chu Yu reacted.

    This is actually a code word she created when she was playing with Gu Chusheng and Chu Jin. Later, she also used this method to contact Gu Chusheng in emergencies. But at this moment, why did Gu Chusheng leave this trace here?

    Is it him and his own people? Now use this as a code word, or say...

    He knew she was coming? !

    Chu Yu was stunned for a while, but it was a bit ridiculous for a while, Gu Chusheng actually counted her coming back to find him at this time? !

    Yes, fifteen-year-old Chu Yu is infatuated with him, he is not stupid, he is very clear about her friendship, and now that he is in trouble, he has surrendered to the Weifu, naturally he will Guess she'll come to him.

    Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny, this person thinks too highly of herself, she is already married, does he think she is so charming?

    Chu Yu plunged into the water and swam back to the shore, Changyue and Wanyue hurriedly came forward to set up the curtain, let Chu Yu change clothes, and then listened to Chu Yu carrying the sword: " Go upstream to find it."

    Gu Chusheng was injured, in fact, it would be more labor-saving to go downstream. If you go upstream, you have to go against the water, and you don't know where he got the physical strength to do such a thing.

    But such a choice is indeed safer. Chu Yu is not surprised by Gu Chusheng's choice. He has always been a man who has driven himself to a desperate situation, not once or twice.

    Chu Yu took the people upstream to search for it, and soon heard someone shouting: "The branches here are crushed!"

    Chu Yu hurried to the edge of the river, brushed aside the branches to check for a moment, then twisted a handful of soil and sniffed it, then got up and said, "Let's go."

    The smell of blood soaked in the soil should be Gu Chusheng.

    It's just that he has always been careful, but he can't even clean up the traces. It can be seen that his situation is indeed not optimistic.

    Gu Chusheng left a mark of "East" for her, and she kept looking for it along the east side. After walking for a while, she heard someone say, "Madam, there are rags here."

    Chu Yu glanced at the blood-stained steps, and saw that Changyue had already swept out, and after a while, Changyue's voice came: "Madam, there are broken branches here, it should be from here. already."

    Chu Yu did not speak. Gu Chusheng's accidental mistakes may exist, but left behind such obvious trails as broken steps and broken branches?

    Impossible, not his character.

    Chu Yu thought for a moment, looked at the east where no one was passing by, and calmly said, "Continue the search to the east."

    Everyone was a little surprised, and there was really no trace of people in the east.

    No one dared to say anything more, so they followed Chu Yu and searched eastward. After searching into the night, everyone was a little tired. Changyue found a cave and went out with Chu Yu: "Ma'am, let's go to the cave to rest for the night?"

    Chu Yu was also a little tired. After answering, Wei Qiu lit the torch and walked into the cave.

     

    After a day of searching like this, Chu Yu was also a little tired. She wanted to take a rest early and search again after she had rested.

    Wei Qiu led people into the cave, the cave was rugged, Wei Qiu respectfully said: "Madam, be careful with your feet."

    Chu Yu just stepped into the cave, that is, at this moment, the torch in Wei Qiu's hand suddenly went out, before Chu Yu could react, she was pulled into her arms by a person, and the sharp blade pressed against her neck , In the darkness, she heard Gu Chusheng's voice hoarse, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."

    He smelled of mud and blood, his breath was short, and he was obviously very weak. The hand he touched on her was scorching hot, which was especially obvious when compared to the icy cold at the tip of the knife. Chu Yu didn't speak, Wei Qiu lit the torch and saw Chu Yu being held in front of him by Gu Chusheng. Gu Chusheng held a sharp blade and said coldly, "Don't move anyone, otherwise I can't guarantee this lady..."

    Before he finished speaking, Gu Chusheng's eyes fell on Chang Yue's angry face, and his voice suddenly stopped. After a while, he realized who was coming.

    It's Chu Yu.

    It was Chu Yu who he was thinking about and trying his best to go back to Huajing to meet him!

    His heart was beating so fast, he didn't know what to say, until Chu Yu's cold voice sounded: "Take the knife away."

    Hearing this, Gu Chusheng hurriedly put away the knife and hid the hidden knife in his sleeve. Chu Yu immediately backed away from her, Wei Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to stand between Gu Chusheng and Chu Yu, and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

    Gu Chusheng's eyes fell on Chu Yu, unable to move away at all.

    Fifteen-year-old Chu Yu is not as dead as she was in her last life. At this moment, she is still full of vigor and activity, and even when she really sees her, she will suddenly feel I felt that Chu Yu, who turned out to be fifteen years old, still had a calmness and calmness that she did not have since.

    Why didn't I see it back then?

    Gu Chusheng looked at Chu Yu in front of him and looked back at himself as a teenager.

    He spent 20 years entangled with Chu Yu, and 20 years after Chu Yu's death to recall the time when she was alive, and then in this memory, a little bit of sinking, chasing, until Inextricable.

    The teenager was too proud. At that time, he clearly liked this person, but he would feel deeply powerless and embarrassed every time he was rescued by her.

    She is not a person who can speak softly, and her mind is so straight that she can't think about what she said. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but he has experienced a family change, and he has such a sensitive temperament.

    So every word she said unintentionally would become a humiliation and ridicule in his heart.

     

    Now that I think about it, such words are so cute, but he only felt humiliated and angry back then, so he went back and picked up the sword, and every afternoon in the courtyard, he could not beat the sword, until she could no longer win he.

    They missed too many years until she died.

    He habitually pretended to be calm, but he slowly recalled the past in the emptiness day after day, until he died under Wei Yun's sword, he thought in a trance, "If Ayu is here, I definitely won't be willing to see him like this." Only when I suddenly realized that if I really didn't like it at all back then, why would I practice hard in the courtyard for many years every day for a sentence?

    When he looked at Chu Yu who was talking to Changyue in front of him and raised his hand to touch the knife mark on his neck, he couldn't help his eyes turning red and his lips trembling.

    Wei Qiu saw that Gu Chusheng kept silent, stared at Chu Yu, and even started to cry, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable panic in his heart, he stepped forward and blocked Gu Chusheng's sight, Li shouted: "What are you looking at! Can you watch me, Mrs. Wei Fu?!"

    There is only one person in the Huajing noble mansion who can be called the eldest lady, and that is the woman in charge of the backyard of the house. Now that Liu Xueyang has stepped back and is no longer in charge, although Wei Yun became the Marquis of Zhenbei and did not marry, the name of the First Lady of the Wei House fell on the former wife of the prince.

    Hearing this title, Gu Chusheng suddenly returned to his senses. Seeing Chu Yu looking over, he hurriedly lowered his head and restrained his mind. He was afraid of being seen by others, so he took a step back and said: "Sorry, it's inevitable to lose your temper when you meet an old friend suddenly."

    He forced the heat in his eyes back, closed his eyes to calm down, then raised his head again, smiled slowly at everyone, and cupped his hands: "Gu Chusheng, I have seen Mrs. ."

    Chu Yu didn't speak. She looked at Gu Chusheng in front of her and felt that the person in front of her was a bit weird.

    She looked at him, he never liked to smile at her in the past. Gu Chusheng is a person who is good at dancing in foreign affairs. Everyone says that he has a good temper, but he has never had a good face towards her. He is either cynical or indifferent.

    But at this moment, he looked at her quietly, there was still water vapor in his eyes, and a nearly perfect smile on his lips. However, that smile did not make people feel hypocritical, but made Chu Yu feel that he seemed...

    He seems to want to use the best posture to face her.

    Thinking of this, Chu Yu felt ridiculous.

    She restrained her wild ideas, walked out from behind Wei Qiu, saluted Gu Chusheng, and said respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Gu, before the concubine was appointed by the Minister of State. Come, protect Master Gu from entering Beijing, I don't know how Master Gu is at the moment, can you set off immediately?"

    Chu Yu's icy attitude made Gu Chusheng stunned for a while, but he immediately understood. Chu Yu is a very responsible person. Since she is married to Wei Jun, even if Wei Jun dies, as long as she is the eldest lady of the Wei family, she will protect the reputation of the Wei family and will never do anything to harm the Wei family. It's a matter of family reputation, let alone something sorry for Wei Jun.

    When she became Mrs. Gu, she was so demanding of herself, the house was turned upside down, and she didn't embarrass him more than halfway outside. He was the person she had eloped with, and now that she sees him, she naturally has to keep a distance.

    Gu Chusheng felt sour in his heart, but he also cooperated with Chu Yu, didn't say much, just said: "Okay."

    Speaking, he looked up at Chu Yu and said gently, "You can say anything."

    Hearing this, everyone present felt a strange feeling in their hearts. Chu Yu pretended not to hear anything, raised her hand and said, "Sir, please."

    Gu Chusheng nodded and supported himself to go out.

    He was obviously injured and his clothes were stained with blood, but he didn't say a word.

    Changyue and Wanyue know the past of the two, although it is a bit strange, but they can guess how much, not much.

    The Wei family's secret guard couldn't hold back, a group of people followed behind Chu Yu, one of them couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Wei Qiu: "The thief looks at the eldest lady in the wrong way. "

    "Do you think I'm blind?"

    Wei Qiu glanced at the past lightly, and Gu Chusheng's eyes were no longer a frenzy to describe. Wei Qiu held the sword and said in a cold voice, "But he's not doing anything right now. Let's watch first. When we get to Huajing, there will be a little Marquis who will take care of him."

    "What would he do if he didn't come to Huajing?"

    Wei Qiu didn't speak anymore. After a while, he said slowly, "Then it depends on what the eldest lady means."

    While the guards were muttering, Gu Chusheng followed behind Chu Yu and went outside to lead the horse.

    Chu Yu walked fast and didn't take care of him at all, and even got a little irritable because he followed him like this.

    She doesn't want to be involved so much with Gu Chusheng, it's enough to be involved in a lifetime, but also in this life?

    Don't even think about it!

    Chu Yu couldn't help but quickened her pace, but Gu Chusheng followed slowly. His wound was bleeding because of his too much movement, but he didn't feel any pain. He followed behind Chu Yu, Seeing Chu Yu living by his side, he felt a touch of sweetness coming up.

    Chu Yu walked to the side of the horse, and when she turned around, she found that Gu Chusheng's wound had been bleeding again, she frowned and asked, "Are you really able to hold it?"

    If she dies halfway, her trip will be in vain.

     Hearing Chu Yu asking him, he was slightly taken aback, and then he felt a huge ecstasy surge up.

    No matter how she hides it, she likes him after all!

     

    "Yes."

    Gu Chusheng whispered: "Don't worry, you're by my side, I'll be fine."

    Hearing this, Chu Yu suddenly had the urge to curse. She had also learned a lot of swear words in the military camp, but she became Mrs. Gu and was corrected by him for many years before she changed it. Seeing him again now, he was able to give her the ability to review her skills in such a short period of time, which is considered a skill.

    She turned her head with a stern face, turned on the horse and said, "I think you are in good shape, get on the horse."

    Gu Chusheng smiled lightly, tilted his head and said, "Okay."

    Speaking, he tried to get on the horse. But he was so weak that he couldn't climb up a few times. Everyone next to him got on his horse and waited, so he was crawling with difficulty.

    He didn't ask anyone for help, he just competed here. Chu Yu didn't understand why Gu Chusheng was like this. She was a little confused and said in a cold voice, "Wei Qiu, help him."

    Wei Qiu was stunned for a while, then showed his disgust, raised his hand to support Gu Chusheng, and as soon as Gu Chusheng got on the horse, Chu Yu rushed out.

    Gu Chusheng hurriedly slapped the horse to catch up, the horse jolted so much blood between his lips and teeth, Wanyue glanced at it and couldn't help but be quite worried, she was always careful, she went up to chase after Chu Yu, He said, "Young Master Gu doesn't look very good. If you keep bumping like this, Madam, why are you so angry? Let's wait until the matter of the little Marquis is done first."

    Hearing this, Chu Yu was slightly taken aback.

    Yes, why is she so annoying?

    Gu Chusheng, who is now seventeen years old, is not sorry for her. She insisted on chasing him, and he resisted with all his might, besides, they didn't really have much intersection before the age of seventeen.

    Even if there is, it is just that, on the battlefield at the age of twelve, Gu Chusheng saved her.

    Since then, on New Years and festivals, Gu Chusheng came to visit the Chu family, gave Chu Jin a gift, and gave her a copy. Then play with Chu Jin, and she will accompany her.

     

    He returned all the things she sent back with a penny. And her letter about eloping with him was also sent back by him.

    At the age of seventeen, Gu Chusheng was nothing but someone who didn't like her.

    No amount of resentment should take revenge on those who did nothing.

    To take revenge on an innocent person in order to vent their anger, even if their anger is because of that person in the future, this is also a kind of evil.

    A person may not be good, but not evil.

    Chu Yu slowly calmed down, she glanced at Gu Chusheng who was following closely behind, slowed down the horse, and said lightly to the people behind: "Slow down, don't be in a hurry."

    Everyone slowed down when they heard Chu Yu's order. Chu Yu called and threw a bottle of medicine to Gu Chusheng, and said calmly, "I eat first to replenish my strength, and I'll get to the inn soon. I'll ask you to see a doctor."

    Hearing her words, Gu Chusheng raised his eyebrows and said gently, "Yeah."

    Chu Yu stopped looking at him and walked forward. Gu Chusheng held the bottle, opened the cap, ate one carefully, and placed it on his chest.

    The group walked for about half an hour before they found an inn outside. Gu Chusheng was injured and easily attracted people's attention, so Chu Yu asked someone to put a robe on him, and then asked Wei Qiu to support him, pretending to be a sick and weak boy traveling with his sister, and staying in the inn .

    Gu Chusheng coughed and went to the guest room, while others in the hotel were still chatting.

    "Yao Yong seized that Gu Chusheng in the entire state capital. The bounty was 20,000 taels of gold. If I can get it, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life!"

    Chu Yu glanced at the two and said nothing. Gu Chu disguised himself, and his expression was magnanimous, and he passed in front of the two of them without recognizing them.

    Gu Chusheng entered the inn, and fell down as soon as he entered. Wei Qiu hurriedly called the doctor over.

    Some of these herbs are very precious and can never be obtained in this backcountry. Fortunately, Chu Yu was well prepared when he came. .

    A group of people was busy all night, Gu Chusheng finally calmed down, the doctor wiped a cold sweat, and said with some emotion: "This person is really cruel. Ordinary people like him have fallen down long ago. ."

    Chu Yu didn't speak, she looked at Gu Chusheng's frowning brows in his sleep, and couldn't help but feel a little respect in her heart.

    "Okay." She looked at the sky outside, and said to the people next to her: "Wei Qiu arranges the rest when it's time to rest. If you have to travel tomorrow, don't waste it."

    "Yes."

    Wei Qiu took the order, and Chu Yu walked out with Mingyue and Changyue. Before going out, she heard Gu Chusheng whispering hoarsely: "Ayu..."

    Chu Yu was stunned for a while, then she plucked her ears.

    She thought she was hallucinating.

    Changyue beside her was a little puzzled by her actions, and said strangely: "Madam, what are you doing?"

    "Hurry up and give me a candy pill," Chu Yu hurriedly stretched out her hand and said with a look of horror, "I have to suppress myself."

    The author has something to say:  The next update will be in the early morning, and I will tell the time on Weibo.

    [Small Theater]

    Mo Shubai: "When did you realize that you are not the hero?"

    Gu Chusheng: "It started when Ayu saw that I couldn't get on the horse and asked Wei Qiu to come and help me. Isn't the normal plot because she couldn't bear to pull me on the horse and then rode the horse to share the prosperity of the world. ?!"

    [The author has something to say]

    In order to prevent everyone from guessing and then not guessing right and causing anger, I will tell you the logic of my writing. My writing has always been based on growth and fulfillment, never giving up light in the extremely dark plot. The characters gradually improve their incomplete characters in the plot. Therefore, there has never been a plot where a particularly bad character appears and then the heroine slaps the face and kills the Quartet. You must not have such expectations. I have repeatedly demined myself and did not write sweet and sweet articles. Everyone must bear this in mind.

    As for the handling of the retribution of good and evil in the plot, what I have always advocated is to repay grievances with directness and repay virtue with virtue, which is also the original sentence of how to repay virtue.

    The so-called fairness and integrity, I am according to the existing judicial concept:

    A person has evil thoughts, but does not implement them, it is not a crime;

    One person started to implement it, but it failed, and it was lightened;

    A crime committed, but there is repentance, or there are reasons for it, it can be saved, but it can be mitigated.

    This is my justice.

    For example, Chu Jin, what she did in her previous life, she did not end well in her previous life, it is over. I didn't do it in my life, it's not a crime;

    She did three things in her life:

    1. Tricked Chu Yu to go down the well—as the author, I arranged for Chu Linyang to punish her, and she was also punished for going down the well.

    2. Instigating Chu Yu to elope and become the young lady of the Wei family - this move is not even an instigator, and it is an attempt. The punishment was that Chu Yu, in order to retaliate against her, pushed her to marry Gu Chusheng, who was unwilling to marry (although it failed)

    3. Destroy Chu Yu's reputation - if it fails, the corresponding punishment is Chu Linyang's punishment and Chu Yu's warning.

    Then she was forced to apologize, and Chu Yu revealed her heart and sincerely apologized, and she began to gradually become qualified to find happiness.

    This is my way, as a writer, to judge the fate of a character.

      too much deviation.
