Zha Gong's evolutionary path

The planks have not been tampered with.Lin Gongru confirmed for the fifth time that the newly laid boards, as they laid them out on the first day, have not changed in position, up or down, and even the knotted parts of the ropes have not changed.Only then did he truly let go of Xiao Gou'er, and he was no longer wary of the latter's proposal.

They worked non-stop for two days and two nights, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the other side of the bridge, and getting closer and closer to the hope of escaping from Huichun Gate.

The man kept moving his hands, but his eyes glanced at the young man at the side after a while. After several glances, Xiao Jiu'er finally noticed it.

He put down the half-wound hemp rope, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "Don't worry, Master is used to going down the mountain after dinner, and it's not time yet."

"You can go with us." Lin Gongru said, "This bridge is nearly completed, and there should be no risk in walking over it one by one. If you stay, your master will suspect you sooner or later. Why do you bear it for nothing? his torture."

The young man whispered: "I will not abandon the sect. I am different from my brother..." He picked up the hemp rope again, rubbed it neatly, and did not speak for a while.

After a long while, he said: "I have someone I like here. Even if it's to protect him, I can't leave here." His eyes were dazed, as if thinking of the person on the cusp of his heart, he lost his mind for a long time.

Lin Gongru remembered that he once said in the valley that the luckiest thing in this world is that the person you love also loves you——

In this way, he wanted to protect someone in the Spring Gate this time.

Even if he is not loved by the other party, he still hopes to do everything in his power to protect the other party from the /abuse/humiliation/ of that animal master, right?

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, this young man can still maintain a heart of courage to love after being subjected to that kind of inhuman/abuse/humiliation/abuse/treatment/.

Lin Gongru patted the boy's shoulder sympathetically, and wanted to say something to encourage him, but swallowed the words back.

Little Gou'er raised her head and gave him a gentle smile: "Let's speed up the progress, we can leave after dark."

The plan was to wait for the white-haired man to go down the mountain, and Xiao Gou'er sneaked into the bamboo forest, disguised Xin Wu as the medicine man that Lin Gongru had disguised before, and then brought him to the Xuanqiao.Lin Gongru hid in the forest near the suspension bridge, waiting for the two to meet.

This plan sounds simple and easy to understand, and it is not difficult to implement. It seems that the success is very sure.Lin Gongru repeatedly confirmed the connection signal several times, and Xiao Gou'er patiently answered him several times until the man finally nodded.

"You stay here to do the final work. I will bring Senior Brother Xin Wu within two hours. If we don't show up in time...you can leave on your own." Before leaving, the young man suddenly dropped such a sentence.

Lin Gongru said: "I will wait until you come."

Far away from the spacious lawn, after Lin Gongru could no longer keep his eyes on him, Xiao Gou'er's steps suddenly became much lighter.

He didn't hesitate to pass by the houses where many disciples of the same school lived, and greeted his brothers with a smile all the way.

"What are you having for dinner today? Huh? Braised pork ribs and lotus seed soup?? Okay, I'll be there in a while."

He had a happy face, and when he walked quickly to the hall where everyone gathered, he even hummed a little song happily.

I finished a large bowl of pork ribs, a small bowl of rice, and drank hot lotus seed soup without any hassle.He squinted his eyes and looked around, sipping hot tea slowly.

An hour passed, the young man got up, smiled and greeted the fellow who passed by with a smile, and walked slowly towards the bamboo forest.

"Yo, little Gou'er, where are you still going?"

Those high-level Huichunmen disciples that Lin Gongru had met before leaned crookedly on the corridor, looking at the boy and laughing.

"Master doesn't need you now~~~~"

The young man stopped in his tracks, his face flushed pink, and he smiled pleasantly.He actually looked a lot like that white-haired man when he smiled, and there was a gentle spring breeze when we first met.

"What the senior brothers said is that Little Gou'er is determined not to think twice. But go over there to get some medicine for Master, and the old man will just ask me to send it down the mountain."

The few people looked at each other, and approached with a smile: "What medicine? Master doesn't hurt you, brothers can do it for you, look..." Seeing that the hand was about to put on the young man's shoulder, he was lying on the ground with his palm spread out. The scarlet elixir, was so startled that he took a few steps back, his voice changed: "Hui, Huisheng..."

Little Gou'er smiled sweetly: "That's right, Master told Gou'er where the reincarnation is kept, and I asked Gou'er to get some more. If the brothers are interested, they will take it for me. Master should not know Gou'er's exact location." I took a few of them, and where did I use them~~”

He still smiled softly, but the murderous look in his eyes was unmistakable.

Those senior brothers shuddered, they didn't have the courage to tease this cute little junior, turned around and left, a low voice of hatred came from not far away:

"Hmph, it's just a eunuch who has lost his descendants, relying on what kind of pride—!"

As if he didn't realize it, the young man walked through the bamboo grove and pushed open the half-hidden door.

He was very sure of the whereabouts of the white-haired man, and the moment he opened the door, he had already predicted that there would be only Xin Wu in the room.

"Senior brother Xin Wu."

There is no lamp in the room, and the moonlight shines through the window lattice into this dark bedroom.

The young man walked towards the carved bed with familiarity, and called out softly, "Senior brother Xin Wu, Xiao Gou'er has come to pick you up as promised. Get out of here with me."

A thin quilt covered her tightly, and Xin Wu curled up in the quilt, as if she had passed out.

The boy reached the bedside, bent down, and said softly, "Senior brother."

He reached out to lift the thin quilt, when a long, cold golden needle suddenly touched the back of his neck.

Xin Wu's pale face was revealed from behind a fluttering white gauze, and the wrist holding the golden needle was scratched in different shades, and the blood was still slowly oozing out.

The boy glanced at the golden needle on his neck, and saw the scratch on the inside of his wrist along the needle.

The young man laughed: "Senior Brother Xin Wu, what are you doing? Little Gou'er is here to help you." He said softly, "Lin Gongru is waiting for you by the bridge."

Xin Wu was barefoot, her long black hair hung loose behind her, and her clothes were messy.He didn't seem to feel the coldness of the ground at night, holding the golden needle firmly in his hand, as long as Xiao Gou'er made the slightest movement, he would plunge into the artery without hesitation.His voice was low and hoarse, and it was difficult to articulate words that he hadn't spoken for a while.

"You don't... really want to help us leave. What do you want?"

From the hoarseness of his tone, the young man could easily tell what Master must have done to him during the two days since he and Lin Gongru left.The poisonous snake of jealousy slowly coiled up, coiled around the young man's heart, and circled again, tightening his body darkly.

Little Gou'er was still smiling: "Gu'er doesn't understand what you mean." He wanted to turn around, "Our time is running out, Master will go down the mountain to the place I mentioned, at most it will be a one-day trip, he If the situation is found to be wrong, sooner or later we will rush back, we'd better..."

His voice stayed in the air, like a light smoke that stopped abruptly.

With Xin Wu's other free hand, he accurately and forcefully touched his lower body. Between the palms, there was an empty nothingness.

The boy's smile froze on his face.

Xin Wu said slowly: "...you really left the palace for that person."

The last sliver of hope that was originally held, completely turned into a bone-piercing coldness when he touched the empty space between the boy's legs.Xin Wu's hand holding the golden needle trembled slightly.

He looked at this young man who used to admire him the most, who called him very sweetly, and couldn't comprehend this desperate madness for a while.

If they suffered the same inhuman experience, why would one person avoid it in fear, but the other person could distort it into such an unbearable and lonely appearance?

"Since you love that person so much, how could you be willing to let us go?"

He didn't care what he would become in the end, but when he thought of the man who was kept in the dark and still naively thought that he could escape unscathed, a chill of fear appeared all over his body.

The usual gold needle began to feel unsteady: "You tricked Lin Gongru here, what do you want to do to him?"

The boy finally turned around.

The white face looked a bit distorted, and a bit of a smile that was not a smile.He smiled and said: "I really want you to go. When you leave, Master will focus on me again and look at me again. When you two leave, I can monopolize Master forever and ever !"

He ignored the golden needle around his neck, and took a step forward with a smile on his face, his eyes were extremely calm and crazy. "I will never allow anyone to take him away from me."

Frightened by the madness in his eyes, Xin Wu was dazed for a moment, and the next moment the golden needle in his hand was blown away by the young man's palm.

Xiao Gouer looked at him fixedly, with a sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "Now that things are up to now, you have to leave whether you want to or not. If you don't, I will shake off the matter of Lin Gongru's involvement in Huichunmen fall out..."

Xin Wu was just about to squat down to grab the golden needle, but the young man stepped on the back of his hand so hard that he couldn't move.

"—Wait for Master to turn him into a genuine medicine man, and cut him to pieces over and over again in front of you."

He leaned close to Xin Wu, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and licked the lips of Dr. Mofa who was trembling violently.

Fascinated, he said, "Well, it smells like Master, it's so sweet..."

Xin Wu wanted to retreat, but he firmly grasped his wrist. In the boy's black and white eyes, there was almost uncontrollable ecstasy, "Before I change my mind, put on your clothes and go out with me. As long as you are obedient Be obedient, I promise not to touch Lin Gongru."

A few stars appeared in the night sky with thin clouds floating, the moonlight was cold, and there was silence beside the hanging bridge.

Lin Gongru squatted in the grass, put his hands together to his lips, and breathed for warmth.His gaze was fixed on the direction where Xiao Gou'er was leaving, fearing that if he lost his mind for a moment, he would never look forward to the figure he had been thinking about so much.

The two hours were short and long, even though the legs and feet had long been squatted to numbness, and the eyes were sore and red, the man was still staring closely at the darkness that the moonlight could not shine.

Inexplicably, he thought of Ye Mingjue again.

He still remembers running wildly in the starry night, rushing to the ruined temple with blood all over his body, and his mood at that time was that he would rather die with him in peace and tranquility.But now, he is squatting here, the world is vast, and the surroundings are dead silent, and he has once again fallen into that peaceful tranquility.As long as you see that person, as long as you reach out to hold him in your arms, life or death doesn't seem to be that important.

He will definitely take him away.

From the other side of the night, there was a slight rustling sound suddenly, and Lin Gongru's eyes widened suddenly.

There was another faint sound of footsteps, and the youth's figure first appeared in the moonlight, and then Xin Wu, who was pale and wearing a ragged coat, came out.

He was disguised by Xiao Gou'er as Lin Gongru's former medicine man, but his eyes were clear and clear, and he looked at the man who suddenly stood up from the grass, and the world was silent for an instant.

Lin Gongru moved his lips, but couldn't make a sound for a long time.He went forward without saying a word, and hugged him tightly, like holding a lost and recovered treasure, the strength was so strong that his bones were almost broken.

Whispered in his ear: "It's all right now, I will protect you."
