old friend book

Chapter 3 Chapter 3

My love never ends.

Gu Xun gave Lin Yanqing a death order for the first time.

He told Lin Yanqing that he passed out after sitting in the car for too long and needed time to recover his energy. He needed to stay in Beijing for a few days before going on the road, and all opportunities for him to go out alone were cut off.

You have to drink several bowls of bitter Chinese medicine every day, you have to ensure enough sleep time every night, you have to obediently listen to what he says next, and you can’t get out of bed until he has a good fever and won’t vomit after riding the roller coaster. .

"Why do you take care of me like this? It makes me look like a first-degree injured patient in the hospital."

Lin Yanqing just smiled at this.He is not very good at talking to people when he gets angry, especially after he is sick, he really has no strength, and he can't shout at people, and he can't keep on cursing. Light talk, whoever listens will feel distressed.

Gu Xun felt sorry for Lin Yanqing.

He knew that Lin Yanqing liked to be quiet, so he first came to a villa he bought in the countryside.It lives next to the mountains and forests, and it is relatively close to the towns.It's just that the house is a little far from the urban area, and he doesn't live there often, so a lot of furniture has accumulated dust.Fortunately, there are few things, so I invited a nanny to visit in advance, and cleaned it up in one day.

He also asked Allen to buy a little golden retriever from the town. It was a very lively little dog with a pair of black round eyes and golden fluff all over. He was not afraid of strangers. Sticking out his tongue.It should be very pleasing in the original pet store, and it has a round belly after eating, and it looks like a yellow ball.

Allen made the final decision: "It smiled at me, how cute! I bought it."

So the little golden retriever followed him into the house.There were bumps on the road, and it sat in the car with weak legs and dizziness. It got out of the box crookedly, stumbled at the next step, shook its little head and looked around. Trembling as if timid.

When Gu Xun hugged it close to the bed and put it down, its four short legs were slumped tightly, and its breathing was pounding.Lin Yanqing took the initiative to open his arms to embrace it, and smoothed the soft fur on his back. His movements were gentle and appropriate, and the little golden retriever quickly put down his guard.

"It will accompany you in the future." Gu Xun held a book in his hand, which was a pet book of "Little Golden Retriever Breeding Manual", and thought that Lin Yanqing would not be able to read it, so he didn't take it out.

Lin Yanqing lowered her head and said with a deep smile, "Did you bring me a baby?"

"Yes." Gu Xun also bent the corners of his eyes, adding a bit of softness to his resolute face, "So you have to be responsible."

The little golden retriever also knows the rules of living under the fence, but after all, he can't hide his playful nature, so he rushes into Lin Yanqing's house every three days.It seems to like Lin Yanqing's room very much, it is bright, spacious and warm.Since Lin Yanqing carried it to bed, it must have slipped in seven or eight times a day.

Lin Yanqing named it Potato, and it is a small and simple one. When it comes, it likes to nest on Lin Yanqing's lap, huddled up under the soft quilt, and serve as a natural hand warmer for him .So when Lin Yanqing leaned on the bed and was in a daze, it wisely didn't bother, one person and one dog nestled quietly on the bed, staying for the whole afternoon.

Sometimes when Tudou woke up, he yawned, raised his nose, leaned close to Lin Yanqing's body, sniffed and sniffed, rubbed and rubbed, and was overjoyed.

Breath tickled his neck, Lin Yanqing held back a smile, and generously accepted Tudou's warm greeting.

It's just that every time Gu Xun saw it, his face would darken, and he would pick up the nape of the potato and throw it to the other end of the bed.

Only then did Lin Yanqing recover from his confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It rubs against you." Gu Xunwu sat down on the edge of the bed, so close that the burning breaths from both ends mingled together.His expression was as aggrieved as that puppy's, aggrieved to judge the injustice: "I don't even get this treatment."

Lin Yanqing tilted his head to hide: "Don't make trouble, how can you be the same as it." He doesn't like being done by others.

"I'm getting married."

Lin Yanqing suddenly raised her head and turned to the source of the sound.

To be honest, the face that covers the eyes will really lose a lot. The emotions that can be easily expressed by normal people have become impossible to dig out here, as plain as a pool of stagnant water.

But Gu Xun noticed that his lips were slightly parted, his collarbone became more obvious when he breathed, and his chest heaved violently in surprise.These are his expressions of venting emotions.

"My family arranged a marriage for me, the daughter of a state-run enterprise in Guangzhou."

Lin Yanqing turned his head back the same way: "When did it happen?"

"a year ago."

A year ago, Gu Xun was forced to go to Guangzhou because of this marriage. He knew how much benefit this would bring to the Gu family, so everything was self-evident.

It's just that the daughter seems to have her own sweetheart.She knew that Gu Xun didn't mean that, so she had a showdown with him, and said viciously about "vicious arranged marriage", which was quite different from the gentle and intellectual image in the newspaper, which surprised Gu Xun.

So the two reached an agreement, to be a couple outside the play, and to perform their duties in the play.Gu Xun did a good job. He counted the time and took care of everything before going back to celebrate Lin Yanqing and Lin Chaoxian's birthday.

He returned to Chengdu by plane, holding a cake in his hand, and rushed to Lin's house with a lot of gifts, but was told that Lin Yanqing was missing.

Afterwards, the overwhelming news spread, slandering Lin Yanqing's life like death.

Thinking of this, Gu Xun felt even more distressed in his eyes, but Lin Yanqing couldn't see it.

"It's hard for you." Lin Yanqing sighed deeply, leaned over and coughed fiercely, he coughed so hard, his dry and hoarse voice turned like rusty parts, shaking all internal organs and soul After coughing out, there was only an empty shell left, and it couldn't be stopped no matter what.

He coughed and kept saying, "I'm sorry for you, Gu Xun."

Lin Yanqing has not left the house for half a month.

Occasionally, he would be extremely bored, so he took advantage of Gu Xun's time when he was working in the library, and walked around the house alone, with a little golden retriever by his side, obediently following him as a guide dog.It's just that he has a wild temper. A few times while walking while biting Lin Yanqing's pants, he accidentally bumped into a stone step, rubbed half of the moss, and a big swollen ankle.

Lin Yanqing took Tudou into his arms, and both of them avoided the risk of being scolded.

"Just pet it."

Gu Xun cleaned the stains on his feet, applied medicine, and massaged his ankles according to the knowledge in the book. The techniques are self-taught.

Perhaps it was too itchy from being massaged, Lin Yanqing grinned, and rarely laughed out loud. His voice was cold and gentle, and it gently covered Gu Xun's ears, revealing a blush.

In the past few days, he was clearly arranged to go to Chinese medicine three times in the morning, noon and evening.Gu Xun personally supervised and there was no room for negotiation. He knew he had made a mistake and had to do it honestly.

However, the smell of the medicine was a bit offensive to Lin Yanqing, as soon as he put it in his mouth and tasted it at the base of his tongue, his stomach began to protest violently.So much so that when Gu Xun came in again with a large bowl of wontons in his hands, Lin Yanqing finally no longer had that calm and breezy appearance, but shrank his neck back and begged for mercy repeatedly: "I won't drink anymore. !"

Fortunately, this body's adaptability is not bad, and I am used to it, so I am not so repulsive.

The only thing is that he is still afraid of suffering.

Lin Yanqing buried his face in with both hands holding the medicine bowl, and muttered in a low voice, "It's better to ground me directly..." He poured the medicine into his stomach in one breath, and when he raised his head again, his whole face was wrinkled like a bitter melon .

Gu Xun quickly stuffed a milk candy into his mouth: "I really want to keep you by my side, but when have you ever heard my words?"

Lin Yanqing took the sugar in his mouth and took a sip like powder, the rich milky taste quickly spread in his mouth, slowly covering the bitter taste.

"I want to go out and play."

He's really gotten better lately.

He didn't dare to imagine how much torture this originally healthy body had suffered before, so that it collapsed into what it is now.He just coughed a little, and Gu Xun's heart tightened.

"I see." Gu Xun looked at the people around him, raised his head and straightened the broken hair on his sideburns, but the other party didn't hide.He handed over a set of long sleeves and outerwear. The night in early autumn was already a bit chilly. He was afraid that Lin Yanqing would catch a cold. "Put on your clothes and let's go."

He took him into town.

The village is small, but very lively.It still looks like the old Beijing streetscape, and many houses are still old-fashioned Beijing hutongs. If newcomers go in by themselves, it will be like a besieged city and they can't find their way out.

Gu Xun clenched his hand and walked towards the market: "There are so many people, don't let go."

"Ah."

It seems to be very lively tonight.Lin Yanqing was led and blindfolded, and could only follow the person in front of him slowly through the crowd.He couldn't see the things around him, and he only made judgments from the continuous shouting and laughter in his ears.

When Lin Yanqing came across a place to play, he pulled Gu Xun to stop there.

He followed Gu Xun to find a safe place to stand, with his head raised, as if he was seriously watching the performance of the people on stage.Beijing opera is very famous. When the actors on the stage sang the lyrics, the mouth was full of mellow flavor, which was intriguing. Presumably, the makeup and appearance were also very good.Lin Yanqing had never learned singing, only heard it, but couldn't sing, so she hummed a few lines to her lips.

"The blue sky, the yellow flowers, the westerly wind is tight, and the geese fly south. Who will be stained with frost and drunk in the forest at dawn? Always leave people in tears."

They sang the lyrics of "The Romance of the West Chamber".

The lights on the stage were so bright that they were shining brightly on the protagonist in the center. When a silver gun was slung over his shoulder, it reflected light badly.All the people were shaken and blinked slightly.

Lin Yanqing was no different from ordinary people, when he listened to the song, his energy was raised, and when the song was over, he also clapped and applauded.

However, the figure was pulled.Lin Yan paused for a moment, then turned to the little guy who was holding on to the corner of his clothes.

"Big Brother, let's buy a bouquet of flowers!" The childish voice was still immature, and he couldn't tell the difference between boys and girls, but he knew the etiquette and knew how to attract people to do business after the show was over.If it were an ordinary child, seeing such a strange person, they would either shrink their necks and back away, or boldly ask, "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Lin Yanqing was very happy, and stretched out his right hand, and the child stuffed the flower into his hand, and let go of it after someone grasped it.

He put the tip of his nose to sniff deeply, and only smelled a faint fresh smell similar to green grass. It felt like lying in a huge lawn, so he bent the corner of his mouth and asked, "What kind of flower is this?"

"It's Hibiscus Tweed Big Brother!" The little guy said in a waxy voice, "It was planted in my grandma's yard!"

"Originally, she said that she didn't grow well because she was afraid that people would gossip, so she only allowed me to pick it up and play, and didn't let me show it to others. But I think the flowers that grandma grows are beautiful, and someone must buy them!"

"I secretly picked a lot this morning, and sold it for some money, and put it under her pillow when I go to bed at night, so that grandma can plant a lot of beautiful flowers!"

The little guy was talking non-stop, and he came back to his senses after a while, scratching his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, big brother, I can't finish talking, and I want to say a lot. It's very noisy, don't think I'm annoying..."

"It's not too annoying," Lin Yanqing shook his head slightly, rubbing his fingers on the flower stalk, he didn't dare to touch the petals, for fear that he would rub the flower head off with force, "I like this flower very much." He turned his head and asked Gu Xun asked if he could buy it, so Gu Xun bought it.

Lin Yanqing stretched out two fingers, like a little guy asking for two flowers, one in each of his left and right hands, with his arms bent on both sides, and the bright red flowers with a few spots easily passed over his head.

The little guy waved his hands and rushed into the crowd, but he stood there motionless, like a cold human sculpture.Gu Xun also followed him and stood in the corner, still causing the girls on the road to wait and see and cast admiring glances.If you distinguish carefully, you can also hear content discussing appearance and imagining the future.

Gu Xun tucked the skirts in for him, immediately attracting uncontrollable screams from around.He paused, fearing that Lin Yanqing would be angry, he withdrew his hand again, carefully observing his reaction.However, the other party didn't seem to hear those movements at all, and looked up at him as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. It's cold, and the clothes are tightened. Keep warm." Gu Xun's throat tightened again and again. Whenever he encountered something related to Lin Yanqing, he became sentimental, "Where do you want to go next?"

The two went to a nearby temple again.Mrs. Lin is a religious believer. Since the two young masters of the Lin family were born, she has recited poems and scriptures every day, prayed to Buddha and worshiped gods, and recited all her wishes over and over again.During the days when the old lady was in the Lin residence, Xiao Lin Yanqing had to imitate her appearance. Although he didn't have much faith, he also dressed up to please the old man.

"Today is a good day when the blessings come to the door. The old man Yue and the matchmaker have come down to the earth to play together. It is most effective to seek marriage and heirs!" There are stalls selling things at the entrance of the temple. The more outrageous it is, the more popular it is, and the business is doing well.

"Brother, stay here...!"

The peddler saw Lin Yanqing who happened to be passing by, he was well dressed and he was a rich owner, so he wanted to grab his shirt, but the man beside him stared at him coldly, and withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

Lin Yanqing only heard the shouts nearby, and knew that someone was calling him, so he turned his head and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Brother, do you want to buy a talisman?" The peddler bent his waist and looked at Lin Yanqing behind Gu Xun, smiling slyly, "Go to the wishing tree in front of the door and pay your respects. "

Lin Yanqing was stunned, and pulled Gu Xun's clothes, Gu Xun understood, and led him to the stall.

"Some what?"

Gu Xun explained to him one by one, picked up a few and stuffed them into his hands.He caught a glimpse of a layer of emerald green from the corner of his eye, turned his eyes around, and then dug out a jade pendant from the bottom and handed it to Lin Yanqing.

Lin Yanqing touched a piece of fish-shaped jade pendant with her fingertips, and sketched the shape in her mind.Its carving is exquisite and smooth to the touch, but it is different from the ordinary ones. The middle is hollowed out, leaving only a pair of fish and a circle, which looks like a happy fish playing in the water surrounded by ripples.

The peddler leaned forward to take a look, then frowned suddenly and said, "My brother, this piece is defective or made of leftover materials. It's not suitable for you. Why don't you look at other ones?" He said He picked up another safety lock and put it in front of Gu Xun: "Look, this one is the best we sell here!"

"It's pretty good." Gu Xun looked at it carefully for a while, "Yan Qing, do you want to see this?"

Lin Yanqing shook her head with a smile, and clenched the jade pendant in her hand: "No, this one is fine."

The two also bought two red ribbons for blessing, walked in the direction pointed by the peddler, bypassed a small alley, entered the courtyard, and saw a huge ancient tree standing in the center of the temple.

There are a lot of red cloth strips hanging on it, all of which are proofs that people from all walks of life come to pray for blessings. The evening wind blows through the treetops, and the grass and green leaves flutter along with the blessings.Several careful women hung copper bells on the end of the blessing, so that when the blessing was moved, the bell would ring crisply.Or pick a small lamp and hang it on the corner corridor, flickering like fireflies.

"It's so late, only young people will come!"

You have to use black ink to write blessings, and you have to write it yourself before you can hang it to show your sincerity.The grandma who kept the tree leaned on her old crutches, and greeted the two of them to go over, with a kind smile on her face: "Older Yue will come to visit the tree tonight, and the one in the picture will grant his wish, you have to take good care of it." Write it!"

Lin Yanqing stood in front of the pen, felt the size of the blessing, spelled the simplest horizontal and vertical strokes, and printed the square characters on it.With his back to the light behind him, he wrote calmly and meticulously, without noticing that Grandma was standing beside him and looking at him.

Grandma boasted: "What a beautiful handwriting!"

Lin Yanqing shrank his head like a frightened tortoise, blocked the blessings in front of him with his body, and lost his priority.

"Grandma, don't show it!"

Grandma covered her mouth and snickered, then walked away: "Giggle, okay, grandma won't watch!"

After finishing writing, Lin Yanqing insisted on hanging up to pray for blessings by himself, so Grandma picked a good space for him to stand on, and started the commanding work on the ground: "Hang there, turn to the left! It doesn't matter if you take your time, Be careful not to fall!"

Lin Yanqing stretched out his hand, only to come across a pile of soft and fluffy things. After groping for a long time, he couldn't touch the real thing. Even if he did, he couldn't tie the things in his hand.I don't know if it's from embarrassment or what, but my pale face turned a little red, and fine sweat broke out.He finally gave up and lowered his hand: "Gu Xun, help me."

Gu Xun firmly pressed the bench under him, stepped on it after hearing the words, took the blessing in his hand, and picked a suitable place to tie it on.

Grandma had already gone to guide the other doormen. He helped Lin Yanqing down to the ground, and when he touched those hands that were as cold as ice, he was startled, and subconsciously covered them in his big hands to warm them.The other party didn't withdraw his hand, and stood there obediently, like an innocent child, with his thin lips slightly parted, and the hot air diffused into the air in a form visible to the naked eye.

Lin Yanqing asked with some sincerity: "Will it work?"

Gu Xun wrapped those cold hands and held them tightly for a long time without covering them. He said in a deep voice, "Yes, my grandma has already said it. Your handwriting is very good."

—How do you know Yuelaoer likes beautiful words?

Lin Yanqing bowed her head and laughed again, but finally didn't ask.

What he was asking for was nothing more than the word "yes", whether it was for consolation or peace of mind, at least it was realized.He didn't believe in this at all, and he didn't try to hug the Buddha's feet until the end of the road, but he became devout without a problem.It doesn't matter whether it works or not?

After that, the old trees turn dry, and they live by the mountains and rivers. There is a sky full of crimson shades dancing wildly, showing the momentum of thousands of books, drunk flowers and leaning on them, as if seeing an old friend.

One prayer: Haiyan River is clear, the country is prosperous and the family is prosperous.

Two prayers: Disasters will disappear, and Moshang will be full of dreams.

Three prayers: The person you miss will live happily ever after, and be safe and smooth.
