What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

After the king of Jin left the banquet, the two brothers Ren Sha and his brother did not want to stay longer in Dongnuange, so they sat for a while and then went back to the small courtyard where Gu Xunzhi lived.

Xiao Cui is not here, so I don't know where to hide.The two ducks didn't seem to be used to life on the shore, and they lay lazily in the water basin Xiaocui prepared for them in the morning, as if they had fallen asleep.

It is rare to have such a quiet time in the small courtyard.

Since Xiaocui was not around, Gu Xunzhi boiled water by himself and poured a cup of tea for each of his brother and himself.

He didn't sleep well last night, and just now he ate, drank and talked with him, and now he was exhausted, sitting at the table and slowly sipping tea, not wanting to say a word.

Ren Zhen is still very energetic, he usually does alchemy, and it is not uncommon for him to stay up for dozens of days, so it doesn't matter to him to drink a few glasses of wine.Seeing that Gu Xunzhi was so sleepy and unable to speak anymore, he said to him:

"Go to sleep for a while. When things are over, there will be plenty of time to talk."

Gu Xunzhi shook his head:

"I can't sleep, just sit here and drink some tea."

When Ren Zhen heard what he said, she didn't try to persuade him anymore, but said:

"I've thought about it for the past few days. When the matter here is over, we will go to the master."

Gu Xunzhi suddenly stood up:

"Have you heard from Master?"

"No. But I have some ideas about the direction he went in the first place."

"Oh." Gu Xunzhi sat down resentfully, "At the time I left without saying goodbye, I was really sorry for Master and the old man, but now I think about it, I still feel embarrassed. I owe Master an apology."

Hearing what he said, Ren Zhen suddenly felt a little unhappy, and gave him a cold look:

"You just owe Master an apology?"

Hearing what the senior brother said, Gu Xunzhi suddenly realized that since he and his senior brother met again on the Blue Sky Mountain a while ago, although the senior brother has expressed dissatisfaction with him in various forms, in fact, they still It's never been made public.

The senior brother seemed to be a bit at a loss for what to say, but he himself...couldn't say anything at all.

But since the senior brother mentioned it, it is appropriate to apologize to the senior brother.

Gu Xunzhi lowered his head:

"sorry."

But Ren Zhen didn't intend to let him go so easily, Ren Zhen stared into his eyes tightly and asked:

"Why did you leave in the first place?"

Gu Xunzhi was taken aback for a moment, instinctively avoided the question, and just smiled in embarrassment:

"After so many years, I can't remember that kind of thing when I was a child... Mostly I was just being stupid."

Ren Zhen really didn't quite understand the convoluted thoughts of human beings, and he had always believed in Gu Xunzhi, but he was not stupid.

The two chatted a lot in the past few days, and Gu Xunzhi also mentioned the matter of being taken care of by him when he was young, which was quite nostalgic.Even Ren Xun himself forgot about many things, but Gu Xunzhi kept them firmly in his heart.With such a good memory, how could Gu Xunzhi forget such an important thing?When she was having dinner with King Jin just now, Ren Zhen admired his honesty, but she didn't expect that after such a while, he would start to lie to him.

Ren Sha's face suddenly became gloomy.

Gu Xunzhi is very good at observing words and expressions, not to mention that Ren Xun never bothered to cover up, his emotions are written on his face, in Gu Xunzhi's view, they are more obvious than black and white.Gu Xunzhi became nervous, trying to find other excuses to ease Ren Xiao's unhappiness:

"It's been so long...it's useless to say it now..."

He knew that these words were weak, just like the lies he told after doing bad things when he was a child, and he couldn't fool Ren Xiao at all, but he didn't expect this excuse to work, he just wanted to delay as much as possible so that he could make up A decent excuse, as long as you don't tell the truth... He was very good at lying, but now he couldn't make up a decent lie in front of his senior brother's eyes.Just when he was almost desperate, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

This literally saved Gu Xunzhi's life, and he hurried over to open the door as if hearing the sound of heaven.Gu Xunzhi knew the person standing outside the door, he was the Prince's attendant.

The prince's attendants don't like to say polite words, and when the prince is not around, they don't pay attention to the scene and other people's expressions, and only speak the most necessary words directly:

"My lord asked me to send a message, saying that the matter discussed by Mr. Gu will be scheduled for tomorrow night, and everything will be presided over by Mr. Gu. All the things in the mansion will be available for you to arrange tomorrow. Tomorrow, the lord will take him to swim in the lake. Everything has to be in order before they come back."

Gu Xunzhi nodded, and the prince's attendant also nodded, and left without saying a word, leaving the two senior brothers looking at each other in dismay.

This is a good opportunity, Gu Xunzhi will never miss it.He quickly changed the subject:

"The prince is obviously a little anxious."

Ren Xiao's expression didn't change, showing a capitalized displeasure.But he still easily let go of Gu Xunzhi, and continued following his topic:

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of accidents. The dragon has recognized me, and he may not want to live so close to me."

He was not interested in the topic, and the expression on his face changed from unhappy to impatient.These two expressions are what Gu Xunzhi was used to seeing when he was a child. Before he was taken up to the top of the mountain by his master, the adult Taoist priests in Xuandu temple would often face him with such expressions.Of course he didn't care about them, but when such an expression appeared on his brother's face, no matter what it was, it made Gu Xunzhi feel almost instinctive fear.In this state, Gu Xunzhi could no longer use his flexible brain, so he could only call him cautiously:

"Brother."

Gu Xunzhi couldn't tell how much panic was in his voice.He knew that his senior brother would not do anything to him. From childhood to adulthood, even when he was particularly naughty, his senior brother would at most just beat him up. After using the body-protecting zhenqi, it was basically painless.But he just didn't want to see his senior brother show this look to him.

Then, a hand was placed on his head.

"Oh, forget it." Ren Sha said.

Gu Xunzhi is not young anymore, of course no one would touch his head normally, it feels weird to be touched on the head, as if he was back when he was a child.

Now that he is so old, his appearance looks older than his senior brother, but his senior brother still treats him as a child.

The brother's hand on the head was very comfortable, but Gu Xunzhi suddenly felt a little angry.

This is very strange, Gu Xunzhi has never been angry with his senior brother.In his eyes, what the senior brother does is right, but he shouldn't treat himself like a child.

"Brother," he called out, "I'm not a child anymore."

"I know." Ren Sha let go, "You are already older than me."

This is true, even Gu Xunzhi himself thought so a minute ago, but when the same meaning came out of his brother's mouth, Gu Xunzhi felt uncomfortable again.

What's wrong with me today?Gu Xunzhi thought to himself: Why is there something wrong after drinking a little wine?

There was something wrong with Gu Xunzhi, at this moment he felt the strength of the alcohol welling up, making his face a little hot.He turned his head, trying to find a towel to wipe his face, but accidentally saw the mirror on the wall behind him.

The mirror faithfully reflected his face, old, haggard, dull, repulsive.

Usually, when Gu Xunzhi looks in the mirror by himself, he usually doesn't pay special attention to this point, or in other words, he usually tries to avoid looking in the mirror as much as possible, and puts a mirror here just to straighten his clothes.But at this moment, the brother's face was also reflected in the mirror, that indifferent and beautiful face was in stark contrast to his old face, as if flowers and dead bones were placed together.

Although Gu Xunzhi thought that his ability to face reality was extraordinary, the mirror in front of him still reflected the scariest scene Gu Xunzhi had ever seen in his life, even in his most terrifying dream.

His legs went limp and he fell down, and a very shrill scream came out of his mouth.

The author has something to say: the protagonist is fine, don't be nervous.
