Zha Gong's evolutionary path

Later, Lin Gongru tried to force his way into the living room in the dining room several times, but failed repeatedly.

This so-called yin and yang house seemed to have seen through his intentions. Later, Lin Gongru was no longer allowed to enter the courtyard where the dining room was located, as if he had created a /big/trouble/trouble// , narrowing the range of activities that were not broad.

Lin Gongru complained a lot, and even tried to go on a hunger strike to protest.

This time he has learned how to behave, he will not confront the demon house head-on, he should memorize the formulas he should memorize, he should meditate obediently, and he should practice the sword three times a day as usual.

He just didn't touch the food that Gu Jian brought, pretended to be obsessed with studying and didn't care to eat, and shook his head while chanting to the ancient book that kept his mind distracted.He is so "diligent and hardworking" and "forgets sleep and food", even the well-planned house can't find the slightest fault with him, so naturally he won't activate the mechanism.

Lin Gongru was exhausted day by day immediately, and he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his eyes glowed green when he saw clear water.

He was eager to escape, and he wanted to find an opportunity at all costs. Even though he was so hungry that his eyes stared at him, he still controlled himself very well and didn't touch a finger of those meals.

In fact, he was also a little apprehensive, wondering if Gu Jian, who was nestled with him all day, would get in the way with too much trouble.Unexpectedly, Gu Jian was unexpectedly honest and did not express his opinion on it.

He still followed the schedule on the list every day, went to fetch meals from the secret passage under the dining room, and delivered the three meals to Lin Gongru on time.

After waiting for a while, he silently cleaned up the completely cold food, including the bowls and chopsticks, which Lin Gongru didn't even look at.He could clearly see that the food hadn't been touched at all, and he also knew that Lin Gongru hadn't eaten a grain of rice for three days and three nights, and only drank some water to hang himself, but he didn't mention a word.

If it were another guard with a normal brain circuit, he should either try to persuade and enlighten him; or he would use all means to force him to eat.

But Gu Jian was obviously not an ordinary guard, and Lin Gongru wondered whether he had treated his young master's hunger strike as an imminent crisis.

His attitude of sitting and ignoring saved Lin Gongru a lot of trouble. He planned to wait until the day when he was exhausted, people outside the room should come in to save him or throw him out.

In either case, it's better than the walking dead, here to follow the instructions of a broken list.

The sixth day of the hunger strike.

Lin Gongru lay dying on the stone table in the courtyard, receiving the sunlight, every pore on his limbs and bones was longing to become a sunflower, to truly shine with the sun and the moon.

He felt that he had reached his limit, so he couldn't even support himself up with difficulty and make a meditation posture.

Gu Jian stayed quietly in the shadow of the eaves opposite him, watching Lin Gongru weakly leaning his body against the stone table, his eyes were as bright as a cat in the dark.

Lin Gongru really had nothing to do, and he didn't have the energy to change his mind. He lay down on the table, looking at the shadow guard with sullen eyes.

Looking at it, the clear figure of Gu Jian in front of him is slowly becoming blurred.

Then one becomes two, and two becomes three.Lin Gongru knew that this was a hallucination from hunger, he shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the blurred vision.

It's okay not to shake, but with this shaking, even the neck and head felt severe pain, and the temples twitched.His body was shaking a little, and he didn't know that he was shaking. After a few strokes, he slid down the stone bench.

There was a sudden blur in front of his eyes, and he didn't see how the shadow guard moved, and the next moment he found that he was leaning on Gu Jian.

Gu Jian was about as tall as he was, and looked like a wealthy practitioner.Unexpectedly, when Lin Gongru fell so suddenly, Gu Jian was unable to catch him. The moment he caught him, he couldn't help falling back a few steps, and the two of them almost fell into the flowers beside them.

The shadow guard took a few sharp breaths, stabilized his figure, and firmly held Lin Gongru with his arms: "Young master, be careful."

There was a faint scent of incense on his body, the kind of Zen scent of worshiping Buddha all the year round or enshrining someone's tablet all the year round, which seemed to sneak into Lin Gongru's nose.

With a thought in mind, Lin Gongru held Gu Jian's arm and stood up straight.

With this press, he suddenly noticed that the shadow guard seemed a little thinner compared to ordinary men.

Without knowing why, he turned to look at Gu Jian.

His eyes touched the face of the shadow guard with downcast eyes, and he was surprised to find that his cheeks were a lot thinner. The pair of delicate eyes on the originally plain face seemed bigger than before, and the chin was sunken, and the chain bones were obviously protruding. A lot came out.

Lin Gongru was stunned for only a moment, but immediately came to his senses.

He went to grab Gu Jian's pulse, but the shadow guard wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't do it in time, so he firmly grasped the pulse.

Lin Gongru couldn't believe it: "The pulse is so chaotic, you also followed me on a hunger strike?!"

"..."

Gu Jian lowered his head.

Lin Gongru couldn't understand what was going on in his mind: "Can't you come and go freely in this stone house? If you want to leave, just take the secret path!"

He grabbed Gu Jian's arm, both of them had been hungry for six days and five nights without eating a single grain of rice, and the soles of their feet were a little giddy.Lin Gongru yelled into his ear, only felt that the whole body was filled with bile from the inside out, the stomach that hadn't wriggled for a long time was terribly convulsed, and his ears were buzzing.

Gu Jian's situation was not much better than him, his already pale complexion became even more miserable, and he barely stood in front of Lin Gongru with only a breath of air.After being yelled at by him, gold stars flew around in his ears.

He whispered: "This subordinate has said that we are with the young master... life and death are inseparable."

Lin Gongru laughed at his foolish loyalty: "You will never leave? Starving yourself to death is the way you show your loyalty? If you really want to show your loyalty, why don't you let me out, that's called loyalty." No two!!"

"..." Gu Jian said in a low voice, "Subordinate, before the spirit of the previous master, I swore..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Gongru loosened his wrist and pushed him hard into the flowers.

Gu Jian's soles were floating, and he couldn't stabilize his center of gravity. He fell straight back into the pile of flowers and set off a flurry of petals.

He looked up at Lin Gongru in a daze, with pleading and bewildered eyes, like a dog kicked by its master, with a pitiful expression.

Lin Gongru looked down at him with a sullen face.When I met his eyes that were afraid of being abandoned by him, I was a little annoyed and had some unspeakable hatred.

Looking past Gu Jian's tightly pursed thin lips, he found that he probably rarely even drank clean water, and his lips were gray and chapped.

He took a step forward, squatted down, and raised his hand to pinch the shadow guard's chin.

The man didn't know what his intentions were, and still let him raise his chin meekly.

Lin Gongru stared at him, and said coldly: "You should know the reason for my hunger strike, don't waste my time."

——Don't waste my strength either.

Lin Gongru pinched his chin, forcing him to raise his head and look at him. Gu Jian subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but because of his posture, he couldn't dodge.

He had no choice but to look at Lin Gongru's eyes. In those eyes that were as bright as cats, countless complex emotions flashed, mixed with hope, tenderness, trust, loyalty, and firmness.

Those emotions flashed through his clear eyes, intertwined and precipitated layer upon layer, and finally accumulated into a feeling that was too thick to dissolve.

"Gu Jian is at the disposal of the young master..." He seemed to know that Lin Gongru was angry, but he still said to him with a single muscle, "but the subordinates have the persistence of the subordinates."

"..." Lin Gongru stared at him angrily for a while, but couldn't find any words to suppress him for a while, and his liver ached from anger.

At this time, the stone bench behind him made a rumbling sound, and it rose half a meter with such a force that it was about to fall on him.

It was only then that Lin Gongru remembered that according to the list, he was supposed to stand in the middle of the courtyard and bask in the sun. The mechanism was activated so fast that even the two of them couldn't react in time.

But then again, it is not easy for the two of them to be able to maintain the clarity of the Lingtai in their current state of dying, so I really can't blame him after knowing it.

Lin Gongru was squatting on the ground, his legs and feet were numb, and it was very difficult to even stand up while talking about avoiding the mechanism.The stone bench is pure and solid, if he falls down like this, if he doesn't spit out half of his lungs, it will hurt his muscles and bones for more than half a month.

His hunger strike was just a means of escaping, and he didn't really want to seek death.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Gongru had already planned the stupid posture of falling to the ground and covering his head with one hand and his back with the other. He was withdrawing his hand, and just as he was posing, he saw Gu Jian in front of him, as if he was being stepped on by his tail suddenly. Like a leopard, he rushed towards him.

Immediately, he felt a faint fragrance of Zen wafting through his nostrils, and he was pulled into a thin and flat chest, and his whole body was tightly pressed down by Gu Jian.

The loud sound of the stone bench being smashed down was clearly audible in Lin Gongru's ears, but he didn't feel any pain in his whole body.

Gu Jian held him firmly in his arms, Lin Gongru raised his head, and saw traces of blood oozing from the corner of Ying Wei's pale mouth.He bent his body like a lobster protecting a cub in his arms, trying hard to wrap his young master from being hurt by the mechanism.

Lin Gongru stared dumbfounded at his frowning eyebrows, the stone bench hit him somewhere, his face was distorted in pain, but he was still clenching his teeth to prevent himself from moaning in pain /.

Long hair hung down from his temples and fell to Lin Gongru's neck, and the two were so close that they could smell each other's rapid breathing.

It took Lin Gongru a long time to find his voice, and he began to curse: "Are you stupid? Get off of me!"

He didn't know where the sudden anger came from, and the energy lost from not eating for a long time also miraculously returned to him with the anger, and he lifted the person who was pressing him off.

Gu Jian's lower back was hit by the stone bench, causing a lot of bruises, but he remained silent.As soon as Lin Gongru pushed him, he staggered and rolled to the side, silent, trying to support the crooked stone bench.

Softly said to Lin Gongru: "Young master, meditate..."

"Uncle Ming!" The man raised his hand to grab his dark clothes, and the anger in his voice became more intense, "Who told you to rush over here?"

Gu Jian pressed his clothes tightly instinctively, and said in a low voice: "If you don't sit back, the mechanism will start again."

Lin Gongru sneered: "Didn't you watch me being plotted against by the agency a few times ago? Why did you rush over this time?"

Gu Jian said: "That's different, the young master is currently weak, if he gets hit like that..." Before he finished speaking, he pressed Lin Gongru's palm in panic, his face flushed suddenly, "Young master——"

Lin Gongru had already pushed away his obstructive hand, and rudely opened Yingwei's shirt.

As expected, it was a large bloodshot bruise, which spread from the back of the waist to the abdomen.

Lin Gongru's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he suddenly felt that his patience in this life might be defeated by this shadow guard.

Seeing that the hunger strike plan could not go on, he snorted heavily from his nose, pointed to the outside of the courtyard and said bitterly, "You go and apply the wound medicine first, and then bring food from the dining room. !"

Gu Jian looked at him in astonishment, Lin Gongru said: "Can't you understand people's language?"

"Young master, isn't it..." He coughed, unable to continue.

Lin Gongru said coldly: "My young master is hungry, so I won't go on a hunger strike."
