Love from the Male Protagonist's Harem

"Miss, this child..."

Tourmaline, who has always taken care of Gu Peijiu's daily life, looked in surprise at the young lady who came in a hurry, holding a boy in black, and hurried up, "Miss, let me hug you, you..."

As soon as he stepped forward, the strong smell of rust immediately permeated. Even though he was tightly wrapped, Tourmaline could still see the thick blood stained on his lady's white clothes at a glance. It was like flowers blooming on the other side of the underworld. The splendor was a little frightening. .

The girl in red and white maple clothes took a step back, her eyes were cold, and her voice was light, "Go get some water, it's hot."

Tourmaline panicked: "Yes."

Is it the blood of the child in my arms?What's the matter, can it hurt like this?

Tourmaline was in the kitchen while boiling water, while wandering, her young lady always loves cleanliness, but this time...

The cauldron was boiling with steam, and it was already boiled. After recovering, Tourmaline filtered the boiled hot water into the wooden basin, put a towel on it, and hurriedly walked towards Gu Peijiu's room with the basin in hand.

Lifting the bead curtain, Tourma subconsciously lowered her steps and called softly, "Miss?"

But I saw my young lady sitting on the side of the bed, and a young man with a handsome face lying on the soft bed, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. look like.

"pain……"

Gu Peijiu stroked his forehead lightly with her hand, and nodded to her when she heard that, Bixi put the basin on the shelf beside her, and said anxiously, "Miss, this... shall I take care of it?"

Gu Peijiu didn't speak, just looked down slightly, Bixi looked, but saw the young man's hand tightly clutching the corner of her young lady's left sleeve, the knuckles were starting to turn blue.

It's like grabbing the only straw.

Tourmaline is dumb.

"I'll take care of him." Gu Peijiu said, paused, "You wring out the towel and go get those files."

"……Yes."

Tourmaline agreed, wrung out the wet towel in the basin and handed it to Gu Peijiu, then turned around and went to get the file.Gu Peijiu let him pull the sleeve with one free hand, folded the wet towel with the other hand, and gently spread it on the young man's forehead.

"It hurts, it hurts."

The boy's voice was hoarse, but he tugged on her sleeve even tighter.

All I know is that it hurts.

Gu Peijiu paused slightly, not knowing what was going on in her heart.In the end, I just dipped my fingertips in hot water silently, tapped it on the chapped and chapped lips of the young man, and moistened it bit by bit.

She fed him the hemostatic pill before, and the wound will no longer bleed for a while, but the pain of tearing the wound before is inevitable.

Thinking of the action of the young man who couldn't stop the alchemy before hitting the wound on the corner of the table, Gu Peijiu felt a little complicated.

"...Miss, here is the file." Tourmaline, who was holding the file, said carefully, "Put it on the table?"

"Yeah." Gu Peijiu nodded, then got up and wanted to pick up the file, and felt that the people around him wanted to leave, and the young man seemed to be stimulated by something, "Don't, don't go—"

Gu Peijiu paused, stopped moving, and said, "Go and call the doctor from the mountain and let him look at the injury."

"Yes."

Tourmaline is gone.

"...Don't go." The boy's voice was faintly weeping and weak, "...it hurts."

Gu Peijiu looked at her clenched sleeves, her eyes slowly moved up, and finally stopped on the pale face of the comatose young man who kept crying out for pain.

half an hour.

"Well, I'm not leaving."

Gu Peijiu sat down and gently held the hand that was holding her sleeve. The young man's hand had distinct bones and was so thin that it made people feel distressed.

After she said she would not leave, the boy held her hand. Although his brows were furrowed because of the pain, his expression became slightly more stable.

Gu Peijiu felt a slight jump in her heart, and heard the young man's low, soft murmur.

"... Doudou, you...don't let me go."

==

Xia Ge felt that he was about to die of pain.

It may be that the time for the anesthetic that Su Zang gave her has passed, the poison on the dead dagger will give people a very strong pain, and she is too deadly, the wound is now as if someone has sprinkled salt on it. , burning pain.

It hurt so much that she wanted to wake up, but because of the backlash from the previous aura, her head was still buzzing, as if she was half-hanging in the abyss, half of it was the real pain calling her to wake up from the abyss of sleep, half of it was Spiritual exhaustion dragged her into the dark abyss to sleep forever.

Everything seemed grotesque and painful.

Everything in her mind began to become complicated, and some past memories that were deliberately blurred by her began to slowly surface.

"What's happening to you, Shuangshuang, we should go find something to eat."

"Hey, Shuangshuang, what shall we eat today?"

The already blurred shadow began to slowly become clear again.

She remembers.

She thought she had almost forgotten.

——Shuangshuang is the name of this body when it just traveled to this world.

Shuangshuang is a little beggar, about six or seven years old. She has a good friend named Doudou. Doudou is older than her, and Doudou doesn't know how much older she is.

The two were begging together in a village called Nanming, living a life of worrying about the last meal every day.

Nanming Village is a very poor village. When Xia Ge passed through, there was a famine. Although Shuangshuang's body was born with great strength, but she was only six or seven years old, great strength was useless, and she couldn't do much.

No money, no food, no beauty, nothing, three no children Xia beggar, oh no, if I have to say something, she has a friend named Doudou.

At that time, the sky was full of stars, and two girls who had just gnawed the leaves climbed to the dry crooked neck tree, trying to blow some wind to calm down, so as to discuss their future life.

Doudou, who has just finished eating sycamore leaves: "What do Shuangshuang want to do when they grow up?"

Xia Ge, who had been suffering from hunger and cold for two months, wrapped himself in the torn clothes and looked forward to the future with a melancholy face: "Well... probably because I have become rich, it would be best if I could eat every day. Now, although it is a bit difficult now, there is always a dream...or become extremely powerful, like punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten."

That way she can rob.

She has been displeased with the bully local tyrant surnamed Zhu at the head of the village for a long time, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the hardware, if he had it, she would have used it long ago.

Well, the more official statement should be... Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor?

Doudou was at a loss: "...Shuangshuang, why are you saying something I don't understand again?"

Xia Ge paused, looked at his slender arms and legs, and finally rationally put aside the terrible idea of ​​robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and decided to continue to be a friendly successor to socialism, and gently talked to Doudou about his own Dream: "It's a day when I eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day, and lick the lid of yogurt and throw it away."

Doudou: "What is a yogurt lid?"

Xia Ge perfunctory: "It's delicious."

Although she didn't understand, Doudou still sincerely wished her friend: "Shuang Shuang, there will be that day."

——There will be no such day, because there is no Wei X yogurt here, and there are no yogurt lids.

Xia Ge, who was blessed, was not very happy. Although she would not have licked and thrown away the lids of yogurt two months ago, if she wanted to, she would definitely have no problem licking one and throwing a hundred.

But just about 3 minutes ago, Xia Ge, who used to be able to throw a hundred yogurt lids, tasted the taste of sycamore leaves.

The taste is really... indescribable.

Xia Ge covered her mouth, in order to forget the smell, and to care about the inner life of her little friend, and enrich her boring begging life by the way, Xia Ge asked sullenly: "What do Doudou want to do in the future?"

Ah, it seems that two elementary school students are exploring their dreams under the warm red sun of socialism.

Xia Ge covered his mouth full of leaf smell and looked at his little arm.

Well, actually she seems to be in Kindergarten right now.

Doudou looked up at the stars for a while, then whispered for a while, "In the future... I probably hope... to be free forever."

Xia Ge: "???"

How could Doudou have such a high life realm and understanding in such a situation of hunger and cold?

Are you too free now?

So free that the taste buds began to fall in love with the sycamore leaves. Hey.

Xia Ge just wanted to tactfully refute the little meal friend who just gnawed the sycamore leaves with him, but heard Doudou's voice softly, "Shuangshuang, I think we are doing well, although we can't eat, But it’s very free. I didn’t know what is good about freedom before, but look at those slaves who were sold, and girls who were taken away as prostitutes. Although they can eat every day, I feel that I I don't envy them at all."

Xia Ge paused and stopped talking.

Well... since the other party thinks this way, she has her reasons.

Although a free little beggar dreams of being more free, it is true that there are flaws all over his body...

"...Then don't you want yourself to be a little better?"

Xia Ge still decided to save the country with a curve, and cut in from the side, "Doudou, we are not free at all."

Doudou looked at her, as if she didn't understand what she meant.

"There are not only chains and rules that imprison people, but also hunger and poverty." Xia Ge said, "It is reasonable, but as long as people are alive, they will not be truly free..."

Doudou looked at her with her head tilted, as if she didn't quite understand.

"Oh, you may understand when I say that--I'll give you a chestnut."

"What will you eat tomorrow?"

Doudou's face wrinkled: "..."

Xia Ge: "Look, we can't even decide what to eat tomorrow, how can this be freedom now?"

This chestnut is really appropriate.

What to eat tomorrow is indeed... a very unfree, very real problem that they are about to face.

Doudou hugged her legs and looked at the bright stars above the night sky. Maybe the realistic proposition Xia Ge just raised was too difficult, so she decided to ignore the inedible chestnut, "Shuangshuang just said... want to become very powerful?"

Xia Ge was still worrying about tomorrow's breakfast, and lost interest in looking forward to life. Although he was not very distracted, he still replied: "Yeah, it's amazing...Everyone knelt down and called my dad the best."

Seeing Doudou's blank eyes, she obviously doesn't understand why Xia Ge likes to be called her father by others.

...Elementary school students are so troublesome. I don't understand anything, so let me try to explain it.

Xia Ge paused, "Ah... I mean, I want to become someone who is admired by many powerful people... that's all, the kind that the emperor salutes me when he sees me... well, become that person A person who shines brightly at a glance."

After saying that, Xia Ge sighed.

It's getting dark, she's nothing to do in the kindergarten class, and she's daydreaming with the elementary school students.

"Glittering people?" Doudou wondered, "Will there be shining people?"

Xia Ge: "..." No, wait, this is actually a metaphor...

Doudou didn't know what to think of, her brows stretched out, she was very happy, "When both become stronger, will they also shine? Like..."

She thought for a while, then pointed to the sky, "Like those stars?"

Xia Ge: "..."

How should I put it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but it is not as you think... glowing.

Xia Ge: "No, it's...becoming a dazzling person..."

Doudou has not been to many places, and does not understand many things, Xia Ge actually thinks that Doudou is a bit silly for being innocent.

Silly and a little cute like a primary school student.

Xia Ge thought for a while, and decided to explain in a way that Doudou understood, "It means that you are capable, very powerful, and can be liked by many, many people by virtue of your ability... Even in the crowd, you can be seen at a glance. Humans are 'dazzling' people."

"Actually, you are right about the stars." Xia Ge looked up at the sky, feeling melancholy, "They are all existences that people look up to."

Doudou understood this time and laughed, but she thought about it and became distressed again, "But he is so powerful that he has to take care of many, many people, right? He is as powerful as the village chief...but he has to take care of many people in the village. A lot of people are worrying all day long, his hair has fallen out, if Shuangshuang is like that, he will be very tired, I don’t want Shuangshuang to lose all his hair, it will be ugly.”

Xia Ge thought of the bald "old" village chief in his 20s in Nanming Village, and paused for a moment, deeply convinced: "...that's true, it's still a little bit less powerful, anyway, it's good if you can eat enough. "

"alright."

Doudou tilted her head and watched Xia Ge for a while.

"But, Shuang Shuang, you said you are not good, why do I think you are also shining?"

Xia Ge looked at himself subconsciously: "..."

Doudou: "I think you are also a dazzling person."

Seeing Doudou's serious look, Xia Ge couldn't help laughing, but his heart still warmed up.

It's really worthless. After living for more than 20 years, I was comforted by a child in the end.

"Since I shine in your eyes, I must take good care of you." Xia Ge decided to pretend to be tender, and she imitated Doudou's tone, "I can't become a star who takes care of many people, but I It is the pair who can take care of Doudou!"

Doudou obediently asked: "That Shuangshuang, give me a chestnut, what shall we eat tomorrow?"

Xia Ge: "..." This chestnut is not tasty, put it down.

She was almost starved to death, and she boasted that she could take care of Doudou, really... where did she get her confidence.

"Ah! That's right!" The hard-pressed Xia Ge beat his hands, his eyes lit up, "I know what to eat!"

Doudou looked at her with bright eyes.

"I remember there is a swamp on the other side of the village..." Xia Ge said, "Should we go there and have a look?"

The light in Doudou's eyes dimmed immediately, her head turned into a rattle, she grabbed her sleeves, "Don't go, many people disappeared there...the villagers said there would be evil spirits eating people there."

Xia Ge: "That's all a lie! I'm very powerful and have great strength. Believe that I can protect you!"

Doudou said softly, "I'm afraid of ghosts."

Xia Ge smiled and rolled his eyes: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I can protect you."

Doudou looked into her eyes, and lost her mind for a while, maybe she was too hungry, maybe she thought Xia Ge's eyes were beautiful, Doudou finally pursed her lips, turned her head away, "Then... that's good Bar."

She whispered, "Shuangshuang, I believe in you."

Xia Ge nodded, patted his chest and boasted: "Trust me, you are right, I am stronger than Brother Chun!"

Doudou looked blank: "???" What is Brother Chun?

Xia Ge: "...Well, Brother Chun is very powerful...a shining person."

Doudou nodded immediately after understanding, and obediently said, "Yeah, Shuangshuang is even better than Brother Chun!"

Xia Ge: "..." I don't know why I didn't feel praised.

In fact, Xia Ge was so confident because Xia Ge knew that there was indeed a swamp at the head of the village, and the villagers would say that there were evil spirits eating people there. Maybe someone accidentally fell into the swamp and died in it.

And what she wants to eat is on the periphery.

It doesn't matter as long as it's on the periphery.

Xia Ge took Doudou and approached the periphery. The swamp was dark, and there were clumps of reeds. Xia Ge squatted on the ground for a long time and pulled the mud. The stars and the moon were bright, and Doudou was watching her movements curiously. ,after awhile.

"Haha, sure enough!" Xia Ge excitedly showed Doudou the water chestnuts that had been picked up from the ground as a treasure, "Finally, I don't have to eat sycamore leaves!! Ahhhhhh!"

There were many insects in the reeds, Xia Ge was very itchy, and sneezed several times in a row.

It was dark all around, and Doudou was flustered. Seeing Xia Ge sneezing, she couldn't help laughing, and couldn't bear curiosity after laughing. She looked at the dark mass in Xia Ge, "...what is this?"

"Water chestnuts!" Xia Ge rolled his eyes, "Eat!"

"Wait, I'll look for it again." Xia Ge squatted down again, digging through the reeds for a long time, and finally dug five or six water chestnuts. At first, Xia Ge wanted to dig more, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. When they arrived, they could only be dragged back unwillingly by Doudou amidst the howling of wild dogs.

"Go back quickly, the wild dog is barking, it will be bad if you encounter a wave of evil ghosts." Doudou said.

"What is the ghost wave?" Xia Ge wiped the water chestnut clean with his sleeve, handed one to Doudou, and walked back curiously.

"...Anyway, it's a very scary thing." Doudou took the water chestnut, and couldn't describe what the ghost tide was, but it was still obviously very scary, so scary that Doudou felt lingering fear just thinking about it, "It's just... ...All the evil spirits gather together at night to eat people, and the villages that encounter the evil spirit tide basically have no bones left...Anyway, it is a very scary thing."

She thought for a while and added, "I heard that only dying people and babies can predict when the tide of evil spirits will come, because they can see ghosts... I heard that wild dogs can also bark."

"Isn't this a society that believes in science and Marxism?" Xia Ge took a bite of the water chestnut, and the crunchy and sweet taste burst out in his mouth. The evil ghost tide, which violated the laws of science, was thrown aside.

Tears streaming down my face, I finally ate something that can be eaten by a person!Why didn't she think of it before!Regardless of whether he believed in science, Brother Chun, Marx or Engels before, now her belief is water chestnuts!

Water chestnuts! !

Never gnaw that thing on leaves again!If you eat any more, you will die!Only by living can one have faith!

Doudou also took a bite, her eyes lit up immediately, "It's delicious!"

"Haha, let me just say it!" Xia Ge was overjoyed, "This is the belief in life!"

"Faith? What?" Doudou was confused.

Xia Ge let out an "ah" and looked at the half-bitten water chestnut in his hand, "It's just...the water chestnut."

Doudou understood in seconds: "Water chestnut is faith?"

Xia Ge: "..."

Looking at Doudou's bright eyes, Xia Ge coughed and said, "No...no, belief...is that you believe in something powerful, or A certain powerful person regards the other party as his own principle of doing things..."

Xia Ge, who didn't know any gods in this world, beat his hands and raised a simple chestnut, "For example, I sometimes believe in the God of Wealth! Believe in him and he will make you rich!"

Doudou still doesn't understand.

Xia Ge was cruel and hit the nail on the head, "Anyway, it's what you believe in the most! As long as you believe in it in your heart, it will give you strength!"

Doudou hugged the bitten water chestnut and looked at her with bright eyes, "That pair is my faith!"

Her tone of affirmation said, "Shuangshuang can find something to eat. Shuangshuang is very powerful, even stronger than the village chief. I trust Shuangshuang the most! Shuangshuang can give me strength!"

Xia Ge: "..." No... Faith is not like this.

And she didn't want to be better than the bald village head at all.

Xia Ge: "Actually, if you believe in it, I would recommend the God of Wealth..."

Although she didn't get rich after believing for so long, she became even poorer.

Xia Ge looked at the water chestnut in his hand.Maybe it was the God of Wealth who disliked her and just abandoned him for a second, and turned around to believe in water chestnuts.

So you really have to be firm in your beliefs, otherwise it won't work at all.

Doudou hugged the water chestnut, her gaze was firm, "No, if you don't believe in the God of Wealth, I will believe in Shuang Shuang!"

Xia Ge: "..."

If you believe in the God of Wealth so firmly, you will definitely get rich...

No... after so much time around, Doudou actually still doesn't understand what belief is, right?

"Hey, look over there, there are actually fireflies!" Xia Ge's eyes lit up, and he changed the subject wittily, "Wait here for me, I'll catch some."

Did she just say something so lofty as belief?no?Certainly not!snort!

Xia Ge quickly opened his sleeves, wrapped two or three fireflies, then tied them up with tree branches, made a small pouch and handed it to Doudou, "I've wanted to catch it for a long time, hehehe."

Doudou took the bag wrapped in fireflies, "It's so bright."

Xia Ge, who didn't feel guilty at all for cheating a child, smiled, "Yeah, it's so bright."

"I like them." Doudou said, no longer entangled in belief, "They are so beautiful."

She thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I can't remember many things clearly, but I didn't know what liking was before, and I seemed to do a lot of stupid things. Later, I knew what liking is, and I did a lot of stupid things again. The person I like drives away."

The voice was a little aggrieved.

Xia Ge thought about a little kid who doesn't know anything about beliefs, knows about love, love, likes or dislikes, but he expressed deep sympathy: "...then you are really miserable."

Doudou pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, so I thought, if you give me another chance, I will definitely like her very much, and if you give her all the freedom, I will obediently do nothing wrong."

Xia Ge nodded and thought for a while, "Then... wish you have such an opportunity?"

Doudou looked at the firefly trapped in the pouch, the bright light shone in her eyes, as if there were stars, "Well, there will be."

After eating enough, Xia Ge felt a little sleepy. She yawned, hugged the remaining water chestnuts and shrank under the tree with crooked necks, "I'm sleepy, Doudou."

"Well, those two should go to bed early."

"……Um."

Indistinctly, Xia Ge heard Doudou's voice murmuring in the night wind, "Freedom... no wonder... she likes it."

she?Doudou like the girl?

A little curious...but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, let's wash up and sleep.

In the warm night wind, Xia Ge slept soundly, but the girl named Doudou quietly untied the bag, and a few fireflies flew away from the bag lightly, regaining freedom.

Doudou held the bag that was stained with body temperature to her chest, and a gentle look flashed in her innocent eyes.

——This time, she won't do anything wrong again.

If you like it, you should set her free.

This is faith.
