Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

It was almost dusk when Gu Yue and his companions stayed in an inn outside the city.

The shopkeeper was very attentive. Although he did not answer their questions about Baoshun Pharmacy, he warmly invited them to stay at his place and even gave them a discount on the grounds that they had a similar accent and were from the same hometown.

Gu Yue readily agreed to stay and asked for a room. The two of them didn't have much luggage on their horses, so they tied them in the backyard without worry.

It was getting dark.

"Believe it or not, there will be free meals later." Gu Yue smiled, "But I don't know if there will be any extra ingredients."

"If it were me, I wouldn't poison the food." Gu Xu propped up his chin and sat at the table, the two of them facing each other, "It's easy to be discovered. It's safer to blow smoke in the middle of the night."

"You are experienced, I will listen to you." Gu Yue said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It was the shopkeeper: "Brother, the free food from the store is here."

Gu Yue went to open the door. The shopkeeper stood outside with a smile on his face. “Originally, we only had a simple bowl of plain noodles. But since we are both from Luozhou, we will cook something for you. Please don’t mind.”

"How could that be? Thank you so much!" Gu Yue cupped his hands, his face full of gratitude: "It's really nice to meet an old friend in a foreign land!"

Three waiters came into the room carrying trays of food, placed three dishes and two large bowls of noodles on the table, and then left.

"Enjoy your meal, enjoy your meal." said the shopkeeper, closing the door.

When Gu Yue returned to the table, he saw Gu Xu using a jade needle to detect poison.

"What is this?" Gu Yue was very curious. Aren't drug detectors usually made of silver?

"To test poison." Gu Xu whispered.

He looked at the jade needle, and there seemed to be no reaction.

Gu Yue noticed that it seemed hollow.

"It's okay, eat." Gu Xu said.

"You really need to blow the smoke." Gu Yue whispered, "You should have some way to avoid it, right?"

Gu Xu looked at him and said nothing.

Are you trying to be mysterious? Humph!

Gu Yue stopped asking and just ate. The dishes were simple but delicious, and there was even a meat dish.

Now it was Gu Xu's turn to choke. Looking at Gu Yue who was eating voraciously, he was silent for a long time before saying, "I have pills."

Gu Yue continued to eat without talking.

"…It was developed by Wumen. It can maintain mental clarity and make smoke ineffective." Gu Xu explained in more detail.

Gu Yue nodded and put a piece of meat into his bowl.

"..." Gu Xu looked at the meat and lowered his eyelashes. After a while, there seemed to be a smile on his lips, and he lowered his head to eat.

The two of them ate in silence. Most of the dishes on the table went into Gu Yue's stomach, but the meat was basically given to Gu Xu. Gu Yue still remembered that he was only seventeen years old now, and in the scientific concept of human growth, he was still growing up.

Just don't grow any taller, it's good the way it is now.

……

After eating and drinking, the two went to bed early.

There are two beds in this room, but Gu Xu refused to sleep on either side. Instead, he wanted to squeeze together with them like he did in the courtyard in Yishan.

"No, this bed is so small, and it's not the big kang we have at home. Why are you squeezing in here?" Gu Yue felt uncomfortable all over.

This cot is too narrow!

Gu Xu was not a child, so when he slept like this, he had to lean against the inner wall to stay close to him. The two of them were face to face, and they could even feel the warm air from each other's breath.

"What did you say?" Gu Xu asked.

"Why are you squeezing over here!" Gu Yue repeated in a low voice.

"No, you just said something about a big kang?" Gu Xu looked at him in the dark.

"The big kang in our house. I haven't slept on it for a long time. I feel like I'm always in a hurry these days. It's so uncomfortable." Gu Yue said.

"I didn't hear it clearly." Gu Xu said.

"...Ours, a big kang. Ours! Just a small courtyard!" Gu Yue was very impatient.

"Yeah." Gu Xu's mouth corners curved up.

Gu Yue seemed to be aware of something and was about to speak when Gu Xu's fingertips suddenly touched the back of his neck and pinched it gently.

He shut up immediately.

The surroundings became quiet, leaving only the sound of heartbeats. There seemed to be a rustling sound outside the window, and soon, Gu Yue smelled a bitter and strange smell that seemed to be burning traditional Chinese medicine.

coming!

Gu Yue's heart tightened, and then he realized something was wrong.

I rub!

Gu Xu!

You didn't give me the pill!

He was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to move. His fingers seemed to be on the loose hem of Gu Xu's clothes, and he grabbed a little and pulled it.

Gu Xu moved.

The slightly cool fingertips suddenly touched his lips in the darkness. There was a round pill between the fingertips, which slipped into his lips, along the gap between his lower teeth, and pressed under his tongue.

"Don't swallow it." Gu Xu whispered.

A strong minty smell suddenly rushed to his brain, and Gu Yue suddenly woke up.

It turned out to be mint cool slices. Gu Yue thought, but the effect is too good, I can't close my eyes, what should I do if it's exposed?

and also……

Gu Yue clenched his teeth and bit Gu Xu's finger.

Take it away! Don't you think it's dirty?

The fingertips retracted.

There was still a wet touch on his lips, Gu Yue closed his eyes and did not move.

The fingers around the back of my neck suddenly tightened.

It seemed that he had pinched some pulse point, and soon, Gu Yue felt dizzy. He was conscious, but he couldn't open his eyes. He vaguely heard the window in the house open, and four or five people entered the house one after another.

what happened?

"Falling asleep?" someone whispered.

"This is a powerful sleeping pill. Even a tiger would have to sleep for three hours. Carry it away!" someone said.

"Come on, you two lift the taller one, and the two of us... eh?"

The sound was getting closer.

"How come they sleep in the same bed? Isn't it crowded?"

"Damn, they can't be two homosexuals!" someone cursed.

The room was silent for a moment.

Gu Yue almost lost his temper: Damn it! You are the gay!

But he felt dizzy all over and couldn't open his eyes. Gu Yue was so angry that he cursed in his head.

"…What are you standing there for? Even the gay man needs to be moved, get started!" the man continued.

Two people came forward and moved Gu Xu away first. Then Gu Yue was also hurriedly lifted up and stuffed into a small space. After the lid was closed, it began to move unsteadily.

Gu Yue reluctantly moved his fingers, and the touch underneath was warm and soft.

Gu Xu is here too?

These guys are really powerful!

The faint breathing sound beside my ear suddenly became obvious. Judging from the smell and the touch of the fabric, it was indeed Gu Xu.

Gu Yue felt relieved and fell asleep peacefully.

……

It was a deep sleep.

Gu Yue opened his eyes dazedly and found himself lying on a pile of straw.

He sat up suddenly with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Looking around, it was a cell. Gu Xu was sitting against the wall, his cheeks slightly flushed and his eyes cold.

"Successful?" Gu Yue asked.

Gu Xu lowered his head and adjusted his collar: "Well, this should be the out-of-city contact point of Baoshun Pharmacy. It seems to be at the edge of the southern outer city, with two floors above ground and underground. But judging from the appearance of this cell, it should have been rebuilt from an underground cave."

"Why is your face red?" Gu Yue felt something was wrong.
