Tian Rong heard footsteps and noises outside, and ran out, saying, "Brother Ao, thank you for your hard work."

"It's just a bucket of water." Gu Ao calmed down and took a little short of breath, put away the pole and bucket, and then entered the room.Tian Rong looked at Gu Ao, not daring to speak.

Gu Ao didn't have anything to say to Tian Rong, so at night they each washed up and went to bed.

When Gu Ao woke up again, Tian Rong was still sleeping on the opposite bed, revealing only a bulging bag wrapped in the quilt.Looking up and seeing the twilight of the sky, Gu Ao got up early to wash up, and after breakfast, he picked out another book and went to the bamboo forest.

From a distance, Huai Xin was already there, she was still dressed in black as usual, her hair was tied into a small braid at the waist tip of her back, wrapped in a green green, Huai Xin frowned slightly, her face was still pale .

Seeing that Huai Xin was concentrating on reading, Gu Ao didn't want to disturb him, and sat quietly beside Huai Xin.Huai Xin's gaze did not leave the scroll, but she suddenly said: "...you are so late..."

Gu Ao laughed and said, "I thought you were reading a book, I was afraid I would disturb you."

Huai Xin raised her eyes and coughed, "...I've been waiting here for an hour..."

Gu Ao was stunned: "One hour, isn't it still dawn at that time?"

"...It's just about to light up, it's very cool, you should have come earlier..." Huai Xin said softly.

Gu Ao laughed and said, "Tomorrow, let's see who comes early!"

Only then did Huai Xin let out a satisfied "Mmm..." and turned her gaze back to the book.This morning, Huai Xin had been reading in silence, but Gu Ao was tired after several readings, so he stood up and moved around for a while, the soreness from carrying water yesterday showed on his body, Gu Ao stretched his meridians , Feeling that the Qi and blood are flowing smoothly, and then let out a comfortable breath.

Huai Xin took a look at Gu Ao and said, "Brother Gu looks in good health."

"Oh?" Gu Ao raised his eyebrows.

"He's a talent for practicing martial arts." Huai Xin looked at Gu Ao up and down for a moment, then said.

"...Can you see this?" Gu Ao asked.

Huai Xin nodded and said, "My parents both practice martial arts, so of course I know."

Gu Ao nodded when he heard the words, but thought: "Your parents both practice martial arts, why are you in such poor health?" Huai Xin seemed to see what Gu Ao was thinking, and said calmly: "When my mother was pregnant with me, she didn't know that I I was pregnant and swam the Yishui with my father."

Gu Ao thought for a moment, then asked: "...Easy water in winter?"

Huai Xin nodded: "Easy water in winter."

Gu Ao remembered the poem "The wind is rustling and the water is cold", and seeing Huai Xin so greedy for coolness, he couldn't help saying: "...No wonder."

Huai Xin lowered her head to read the book again, and Gu Ao sat back beside Huai Xin.It's just that every time he watches an hour, he has to get up and move around for a while, otherwise his arms and waist will be sore and unbearable.Huai Xin often took advantage of Gu Ao's activities to talk to Gu Ao: "Gun failed to control the water for nine years, but Shun killed him, and ordered Gun's son Yu to control the water. Why do you think Yu did things for his father-killer and enemy?"

While moving his shoulders, Gu Ao said, "Yu has to do it, if he doesn't do it, Shun will kill him too."

"Oh? How did you know that?" Huai Xin raised her brows, and there was a trace of interest in inquiry in her misty eyes.

"Yu Zhishui went through the house three times but never entered. Isn't it because he was afraid that Shun would find his fault?"

"...cough cough... that's right..." Huai Xin lowered her eyes when she heard the words, covered her sleeves and coughed, "...so he became the emperor and exiled Shun to Cangwu...It's really sad... ..."

The two chatted and chatted, and soon it was noon.This day Yun Ang came to deliver food again, Gu Ao and Huai Xin both said: "Young Master Yun is here!" Turning their eyes, they saw that Yun Ang had brought three food boxes this time.When Yun Ang saw Gu Ao, he smiled brightly and said, "Did you go to fetch water yesterday?"

Gu Ao knew that at the water fetching place on the mountainside yesterday evening, among the young men in light fur and fine clothes that he scolded, there happened to be the one who had annoyed Yunying in the afternoon, when he and Huai Xin happened to see the attic. that scene.When Gu Ao heard Yun Ang asking him this, he nodded, "Yes."

"Why do you carry water yourself?"

Gu Ao was embarrassed to say that it was because he wanted to save money, so he said: "...it can strengthen the body."

Huai Xin opened the food box that Yun Ang sent, and after hearing what Gu Ao said, she asked, "The so-called 'those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will rule others', brother Gu, have you ever heard of it?"

Gu Ao shook his head: "Although it is said so, it cannot be explained in this way. How can an army travel thousands of miles and gallop across the world by closing its eyes and resting its mind?"

Hearing this, Yun Ang clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said! I just can't understand those young masters, they are like chickens, they can't lift their shoulders, they can't lift their hands, and they falsely claim that they want to learn soldiers!" Glancing at Huai Xin, seeing that he was silent, he said as if thinking of something: "...I'm not talking about you."

Huai Xin said nonchalantly: "...Brother Ao has good knowledge, but among the six arts, there are 'ritual', 'music', 'shooting', 'royal', 'book', and 'number', there is 'shooting' Yu', but there is no water carrier."

Gu Ao argued: "Paod Ding can understand the world by understanding cattle; Lao Tzu can use 'cooking small fresh' as ​​a metaphor for 'governing a big country'; Fu said that it is held in the edition, and glue is held between fish and salt...Slight words and big meanings, don't worry." Too much for this ear."

Huai Xin nodded her head approvingly when she heard the words: "...What a modest statement! Brother Gu, I am weak, but I especially dislike those people who are obviously healthy but treat horses as tigers. With my old age, I know what to do. Only a strong body can make a difference, but they spend all day playing with literature and ink instead of martial arts, I am ashamed to have such people in the aristocratic family. Brother Gu said so, and it won my heart."

"Okay, okay..." Yun Ang laughed, "Brother Huai is boasting all the time, do you still want to eat?" Yun Ang handed the food box to Gu Ao, and Gu Ao took it and thanked him.

Yun Ang also set the table and chopsticks himself, and said to Gu Ao, "Tell me again how you scolded them yesterday."

Gu Ao laughed: "What is there to say?"

"Let me listen to it too..." Yun Ang dragged out her tone.

Gu Ao shook his head: "...It's not a good thing, let me tell you, don't dirty your ears."

Seeing that Gu Ao didn't pay any attention to him, Yun Ang couldn't help frowning.He doesn't often encounter rejection on weekdays. What did he want since he was a child, when was it not the children of those aristocratic families who came to offer it to him?Seeing that Gu Ao didn't say anything, Yun Ang acted coquettishly, not caring that Gu Ao was younger than him: "Just tell me, good brother!"

Gu Ao, who was called 'good brother', showed a smile on his face: "When it's over, it's over. Wouldn't it be indecent to say those words to others now, and to listen to you now?"

"What's so indecent about this?" Yun Ang persisted.

"Ah... Let's eat." Gu Ao said.

Seeing that Gu Ao didn't respond, Yun Ang curled his lips pretending to be angry: "It's fine if you don't say it!" Who is it, where did my mother marry...

Since Gu Ao grew up, he also gradually realized that there was something about his father's life experience that he couldn't tell. Seeing Yun Ying asking, he said: "It's just a mountain man like me."

Yun Ang asked again, but Gu Ao still said the same words: "Both parents are mountain people."

Huai Xin watched the conversation between the two, and couldn't help thinking: "Mr. Yun used to love to ask me about the 'secret affairs of the court', but now that Brother Gu is here, Mr. Yun is laughing and chatting during the meal, and everyone is surrounded by me. Brother Gu talking..." Thinking about it, Huai Xin laughed at herself in her heart: "For a moment, I really thought that Mr. Yun came to give me food because he admired my talent. It turned out that he was just a playful person, and it was me. I lost my sense of proportion." Then he thought: "Yesterday I wanted to see how Gu Ao viewed beauties, but I didn't expect that I couldn't avoid it."

After thinking about it, Huai Xin became more and more calm. Seeing that Gu Ao and Yun Ang were asking urgent questions, and the other avoided answering like a mountain, she said to Gu Ao, "Mr. Yun has never asked anyone before." , now it’s all like this to you, why don’t you say it?”

Gu Ao said apologetically: "It's not that I didn't say it, I really forgot those jokes about carrying water yesterday!"

Because Yun Ang had a very outstanding appearance, and grew up in Shan Yun Academy, there was always someone from Ah Feng who would respond to his requests. This time when he saw Gu Ao being so stubborn for the first time, Yun Ang became interested and brought him With a bit of reproach, he said: "Anyway, you just don't say it! I asked where your home is and who your father is. Could it be that you have forgotten this too?"

Gu Ao saw that Yun Ang was chasing after him, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

Huai Xin saw this in her eyes, and said in her heart: "It seems that brother Gu really fits Mr. Yun's temperament. If you want to let others change places, I am afraid that you will take out your heart for Mr. Yun, but Mr. Gu is stable. Hold on to God."

He thought again: "Brother Gu doesn't want to talk about his parents, it seems my deduction is correct."

Now Huai Xin found the joy of exploring people for herself, so she secretly observed the two of them carefully.

I saw that Yun Ang seemed to have anger on his face, his cheeks were reddish, his pink face and springy demeanor was extremely beautiful, if someone else saw this appearance, he would not know how crazy he would be.Gu Ao is calm and calm, to evade it frequently with such a simple face, it seems that there is arrogance under humility.

"He is a man with a strong heart." Huai Xin pondered in his heart, "...It's just the arrogance in his heart, I don't know who he will be able to convince in the future... It would be a pity if he became an official."
