Ning Chen

You really want to drive me away, so let me rest before leaving. "

Seeing that Xie Zhanning didn't speak again, Gu Lichen lay down on the bamboo bed, "Besides, I'm really worried about leaving you here alone."

"Ning'er, mother is about to die, mother is really worried about leaving you alone in this world..."

Xie Zhanning stared at Gu Lichen who was lying on the bed in a daze. For some reason, his mother's words before his death echoed in his mind. Suddenly, two lines of tears came out of his eyes and he couldn't control it.

Seeing Xie Zhanning crying with snot and tears, Gu Lichen didn't know whether he said something wrong or did something wrong, so he panicked all of a sudden, got up and approached, "Hey, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Do you? Don't cry, don't cry!"

Xie Zhanning sniffed and choked with sobs, "...No, no...No discomfort, just, it's just that no one has worried about me like you for a long time...Brother Immortal, are you really willing? Will you stay with me..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Gu Lichen wiped the tears off Xie Zhanning's face with his hand, and said, "Since I said I don't want to leave you here alone, I definitely won't leave you alone. It's here." At least until Gu Lichen finished what he was supposed to do, he would never leave Miaojiang.

After hearing Gu Lichen's words, Xie Zhanning burst into laughter instantly, "...Brother Immortal, take a good rest, I'll fetch water to wash your face."

In the past eight years, Xie Zhanning had long forgotten why and how to laugh, but now, he laughed, even heartily, and he didn't even notice this smile.

11. Half demon boy

"You're a half-demon, aren't you?"

Gu Lichen looked at the back of Xie Zhanning running out cheerfully, and for a moment he seemed to see himself in a trance. Once upon a time, there was such a person who said he would take care of him. At that time, he was as ecstatic as Xie Zhanning. , things are different, and everything is beyond description.

When Xie Zhanning came back from the mountain spring water, Gu Lichen had already fallen asleep on the bed, Xie Zhanning lightly poured a basin of face wash water and put it on the bedside, then sat down quietly, every move was afraid of waking him up A person who sleeps on a collapsed bed.

"Back?" Gu Lichen lazily turned over, and slowly opened those beautiful red phoenix eyes.

Xie Zhanning glanced at Gu Lichen, saw that his eyes were sleepy and his clothes were half-opened, he quickly lowered his head, "Well, I, I got you a basin of face wash."

Gu Lichen didn't know why Xie Zhanning's ears were red and he lowered his head, he reached out and patted the edge of the bed lightly, and said with a smile, "Child, do you want to come up and rest too?"

Xie Zhanning raised his head suddenly, and looked straight at Gu Lichen with his round almond eyes. Gu Lichen saw that his silly and silly appearance was very interesting, and couldn't help but want to tease him for a moment, "I Let me tell you, if the wound on your body is not taken care of properly, it will leave scars. If you really get ugly scars all over your body, it will be hard to please your wife when you grow up. Come, come here, and I will give it to you again. Get some medicine."

"..." As soon as Gu Lichen finished saying this, he felt that he was joking too much, why did he talk nonsense about begging for a wife with him at such a young age.

Gu Lichen covered his face and coughed softly, sat up straight, and took out a jar of ointment in a white jade porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag on his waist, "Come here."

Xie Zhanning was stunned for a while, and then slowly sat down.

Gu Lichen said, "Take off your clothes."

"Ah?" Xie Zhanning's eyes widened.

Gu Lichen frowned, and said, "I asked you to take off your clothes."

"..." Seeing that Xie Zhanning didn't speak or move, Gu Lichen said again: "What? Are you still shy? You obviously saw everything yesterday."

"What, what!" Xie Zhanning was so startled that he almost jumped off the bed.

Gu Lichen held him down and said, "Everyone is a man, what are you afraid of?"

"..." Xie Zhanning glanced at his lips and stopped refuting, but his heart was already flustered.

Every time Gu Lichen painted a place, Xie Zhanning's whole body shook once. Gu Lichen tilted his head, wondering, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"

Xie Zhanning mumbled for a while, then shook his head and said, "...it doesn't hurt."

Gu Lichen said again: "It doesn't hurt, so why are you shaking?"

Seeing that Xie Zhanning didn't answer, Gu Lichen continued to smear, but every time his fingers passed, Xie Zhanning trembled more and more, "Don't shake."

"..." Gu Lichen blushed, and he didn't want to, "I, I can't help it."

Gu Lichen sighed, shook his head, and said, "It will be a little itchy to some extent, please bear with it."

But Xie Zhanning was neither afraid of pain nor itching, but the place where Gu Lichen's fingertips passed seemed to be carrying an electric current, which made people feel numb and couldn't help trembling.

I don't know how long it took before Gu Lichen applied the plaster all over the wound. Just as Xie Zhanning was about to get up, Gu Lichen pushed him down again, "What are you doing? Rest."

Xie Zhanning lowered his head and murmured: "I'm not sleepy, I don't need to rest."

Gu Lichen pursed his lips, and said, "I'm not sleepy, why don't we chat for a while."

Xie Zhanning looked at Gu Lichen, nodded, and said, "Okay, what are we talking about?"

Gu Lichen thought for a while and asked, "Well, how old are you?"

"Fourteen." Xie Zhanning replied.

Gu Lichen nodded and said, "Well...it's a little bigger than I guessed."

Xie Zhanning's ears turned red, and he asked back, "Brother Immortal, what about you?"

"Me? Guess what?" Gu Lichen was slightly taken aback, obviously not used to being called Brother Immortal.

In Xie Zhanning's eyes, Gu Lichen is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, "...Ten...Eighteen?"

"Hahahaha..." Gu Lichen burst out laughing, "Eighteen? It's not enough for you to multiply by ten."

Xie Zhanning calculated seriously, eighteen times ten, Gu Lichen is almost two hundred years old?It turned out that he was really a fairy.

"Children, children... Zhanning!" Xie Zhanning suddenly came back to his senses, and then shook his head heavily. That's right, what he heard was the word 'Zhanning', a name that no one has evoked for a long time. .

Xie Zhanning murmured in his heart, and at some point he yelled, "...Li... Chen..."

Gu Lichen was startled for a moment, then felt dumbfounded, coughed lightly, and said, "Cough, Zhan Ning, you can call me brother Lichen, it's been a long time since anyone called me Lichen, I, I'm not used to..."

Xie Zhanning lowered his head in shame, and called again, "Brother Lichen."

"Gu~" A long cry broke the awkward atmosphere, Xie Zhanning touched his belly at first, but when he realized something was wrong, he looked up at Gu Lichen again, "Brother Lichen, are you hungry?"

Gu Lichen pursed his lips, and said softly: "You really think of me as a god who eats the wind and drinks the dew, we practitioners also have to eat occasionally..."

Speaking of eating, Xie Zhanning also felt a little hungry. After all, the two of them had experienced what happened last night, and they hadn't eaten water or rice all day.

"Brother Lichen, I'll get you some food." Xie Zhanning got up and made a gesture to go out.

Gu Lichen hurriedly said: "Wait, you are covered in injuries, what else do you want to eat?"

"But..." Just as Xie Zhanning opened his mouth, Gu Lichen smiled again: "Little boy, do you want to go to the market?"

Xie Zhanning had been to the market at the foot of the mountain before. At that time, his parents were still alive, and he had not yet become what he is now. In his weak memory, the market was a very lively place with many interesting things to do. For food, especially at night, the street market with lanterns and colorful lights, trees and flowers is even more beautiful.

"Well, I want to!" Xie Zhanning squinted his eyes with a smile, and couldn't hide the anticipation in his heart, as if he had forgotten all about what happened last night.

In order not to attract attention, Gu Lichen only took Xie Zhanning Yujian to the foot of the mountain, "..." Xie Zhanning stood on top of the sword soberly, not daring to make a sound, he had never stood so high In the place, a pair of feet were trembling non-stop, and both hands were tightly clutching Gu Lichen's coat, and he didn't dare to open his eyes for a moment.

Gu Lichen took Xie Zhanning's hands and wrapped them around his waist, "Xiao Zai Zai, if you are afraid, hug me."

Although Xie Zhanning was only 14 years old, he was not short in stature. He stood at the same level as Gu Lichen, just enough to reach his chest.

Gu Lichen saw that Xie Zhanning behind him didn't reply for a long time, so he clasped Xie Zhanning's hands more tightly, "Don't be afraid, hurry up."

Xie Zhanning slowly opened his eyes, his heart beat like a deer bumping into his chest like a drum proclaiming to the sky, he was both afraid and happy, "I, I'm not afraid..."

Gu Lichen couldn't help laughing, "If you're not afraid, then take a look below."

Xie Zhanning boldly looked down, and saw that the bamboo building became smaller and smaller, replaced by the boundless mountains, lakes and azalea sea in Miaojiang, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

This season is the most beautiful season for the rhododendron sea, clusters, clusters, like fire and clouds, red all over the mountains.

Gu Lichen looked at the continuous azalea, and couldn't help being dazzled, "Well, it's really beautiful."

The two walked through the sea of ​​rhododendrons, and soon reached the foot of the mountain. When they walked to the market, the sun was already setting, and Gu Lichen, who was dressed in white in the afterglow of the evening, was so dazzling that people couldn't bear to take their eyes off .

This is an ordinary market that can be seen everywhere in Miaojiang. The market is built along a clear stream. There is only one street paved with blue bricks. , there was a lot of singing and dancing, red flying and emerald dancing, it was very lively.

But Xie Zhanning didn't have time to appreciate these beautiful scenery. At this moment, he was screaming with empty stomach, and his eyes
