What about Mr. Faint?

Every day when I open my eyes, I can see my big brother lying on his side, hugging Gu.As long as Gu looked up at him, he would open his eyes and lower his head, smiling at Gu.Every day he falls asleep with his orphan in his arms, and wakes up with his orphan in his arms. Even if he occasionally sleeps until the sun is high or the sun is setting, he will always be with him.

As he promised, as long as he looks alone, he will always see the figure of the big brother.

Meals for the next day would arrive from the little mouse hole the evening before.And when Gushui woke up, the meals were already set on the table, probably made while Gushui was asleep.The eldest brother would stand aside and watch Gu get dressed and wash, and would take Gu to run in circles in the small yard, and then wait until Gu was covered in sweat, and then bent over and hugged Gu back to the house.

Although there are no luxurious daily life in the past, and there are no servants who follow behind, but such a day makes people feel happy.It's as if a person with disabled hands and feet has evolved into a person with arms and legs who can take care of himself.

This is what the big brother said, and it feels quite reasonable.

The big brother knows a lot of things, he can answer all the questions of Gu, he seems to be more knowledgeable than Mr.Although whenever Gu said this, the eldest brother always had a look of disapproval, bluntly saying how he is qualified to be compared with the Taifu.But in Gu's opinion, the eldest brother who knows everything and talks endlessly is far more knowledgeable than the flashy Taifu.

After breakfast, the eldest brother will teach Gu how to clean the table, help Gu fetch water from the well in the backyard to wash the dishes, and then use the waste water to irrigate the land in the yard.The eldest brother said that he planted the seeds somewhere in the land, and where the seedlings can grow and whether they will survive, it all depends on the watering alone.

Although Gu has no feelings for flowers, he is still very interested in such treasure-hunting actions.Water the yard every day, and wait for the morning when you can see the little shoots waking up from the ground.Then watch the seedling grow up slowly, watch the seedling take root in this land, become gorgeous, dazzling, and unshakable.

After placing the plate at the door of the mouse hole, it is a boring word recognition.The elder brother has an incomprehensible obsession with urging Gu to study.He said that Gu can't understand everything, all things can be entrusted to him, and all things can be left alone, except reading and writing.

He said that if you can't read, you will have no future.

This is very strange to say. When my husband was still there, he always said that there were many illiterate people outside.He said that people outside the palace walls, like lonely people, have many reasons to disrespect sages and sages.Even if they were illiterate, illiterate, those people survived. They were just those who could not read and write, and they lived better.

If this is the case, why does Gu need to recognize characters?

Wouldn't it be good to just live?

When I went to ask the elder brother why, the elder brother looked a little lost, and he looked at Gu with strange eyes.From his eyes alone, he found the shadow of Ajie.But if you look closely, it seems to be just a lonely illusion.

A sister once said that when she was young, her family was poor, and she was sold to Ren Yazi by her parents as a last resort.Afterwards, Bumpy Piaoling changed hands several times before meeting her mother. After so many years, she no longer remembers who is in her family, or even where her family is, and she doesn't want to look for it anymore.

The eldest brother doesn't look like sister, he is not as good-looking as sister, and he is not as good at speaking.But at that moment, Gu Zai saw the shadow of sister on the elder brother.

"Let's think of it as Puxia's childhood wish." When the eldest brother laughed, his peach blossom eyes were particularly gentle and beautiful. "At that time, I wanted to be literate but I didn't have the conditions. When I had the conditions, I had already missed the best opportunity. Now Looking at the little Highness, I always think of giving the best things to His Highness."

"Father often said that in the past." The elder brother put his arms around Gu and told Gu how to write while holding Gu's hand.It's just that he never handwritten for Gu to see, but would retreat to the distance over and over again, and then step forward to correct the way Gu writes.Then he took the dilapidated copybook he found somewhere, and placed it in front of Gu.

Accompanying Gu over and over again, drawing words on the wooden table with water, telling Gu what the word is.

Although I am quite impatient with the repetition of writing a hundred times a day, if my elder brother wants to do this alone, I can't bear to let my elder brother down.Gu wants to see how big brother smiles, if Gu obeys him, then big brother will definitely be reluctant to part with Gu, and will always be by Gu's side.

Without literacy, the elder brother would play alone in the yard, but more often, he would sit alone on the gate railing, holding his legs to watch the elder brother performing martial arts in the yard.The eldest brother practiced swords, and Wu Qijian didn't look like he used to be gentle, on the contrary, he was awe-inspiring and unstoppable.

He has a very simple sword. Although Gu really wants to describe the sword as 'old and worn', every time the big brother hears Gu using this word to describe the sword, he will be unhappy.Although Gu Zhen couldn't see what was good about the black sword that seemed to be standing with ink that hadn't been washed.

He didn't express his unhappiness, but Gu knew it.So Gu no longer uses this word, because Gu doesn't want his big brother to be unhappy, Gu just wants him to smile at Gu every day, teach Gu to recognize characters, tell stories to Gu, or listen to Gu tell stories.

Life is always like this, although the yard is small, but there is a big brother, but it is also happy.

Gu began to doubt her mother's words. She said that Gu had been the prince for five years and had to pay for five years of crimes.She said that what Gu got in the past, one day she will repay twice as much, because the father doesn't want Gu, because she is the only one in this world who loves Gu without any complaints.

She said that everyone wants to die alone, only she wants to live alone.

Until one day, when Gu woke up in the dark, he didn't see his big brother.Gu got up and searched every corner of the yard, but he couldn't see the figure of the big brother.

The big brother seemed to have disappeared from this small yard, and it was at this moment that Gu realized that there was no trace of him ever existing in this yard.There is only a barren land where he wields a sword, and there are only lonely objects in the place where he lives, and there are only lonely things around him, without him.

Gucai realized that there was another world beyond the tall red palace walls, the golden tiles, and the locked lacquered wooden door.That is the place where I came from in the past. This small courtyard is not the residence of I, nor the foundation of I, nor the place where I should stay.

Gu thought that in this world, there were only big brothers and Gu, but when the big brother disappeared, Gu remembered the prosperity that had been forgotten. day.Only then did I realize that now that he disappeared like this, but there is no way to find his life, it is wrong.

He lied to Gu.

I looked back alone, but couldn't find him.

Lying on the cold stone steps, looking up at the outside world through the crack of the door.Outside the cracks of the door are repeated tall palace walls, similar golden bricks and tiles, and mossy marble floors.No one would pass by, only a hunchbacked eunuch would take away the dishes and put down the daily meals every evening.

Gu watched him come, watched him go, watched him take away the dishes, and watched him bring the food.

The big brother still hasn't come back.

But I don't care anymore, I know how to dress and wash dishes, I know how to pass the time, I can bathe and do laundry by myself, and I know a lot of words.There are many books alone, a pile of ink sticks, and a pile of pens.Gu can tell stories to himself, and knows how the big brother's sword is used.

The eunuch who brought food to Gu changed on a certain day, and this time the eunuch was more vicissitudes than the last one.There was unconcealable resentment and unwillingness on his face, and his fingers were rough and even had more serious scars than Gu.He always dragged his steps slowly, and when he took away the dishes, he sighed at the courtyard, even though he was full of complaints, he still used the key to unlock the door and threw the food in.

Lone watched quietly, watching him run away, turned around and used the hoe left by his elder brother to dig holes in the yard, dug out the holes that were once written on by Lone as paper and rinsed, and exposed to the outside. The stones that had turned gray on one side were turned over, and they were reburied in other holes to fill them up, and then dug them out and put them in their new places.

Day after day, the entire courtyard was turned upside down by the orphan, except for the area where the queen mother was buried.

Gu watched the resentment on the eunuch's face grow more and more, watched the hatred in his eyes become hard to hide, until he got tired of playing the game of moving stones around, and after tossing the yard back and forth, one evening Talk to him: "Can you talk to Gu?"

He was frightened by Gu Gu, and heard the sound of dishes being smashed through the Gu Gu, as well as the back of him fleeing in embarrassment.This recognition made Gu Zai laugh out loud for the first time in so many days since his eldest brother left. He laughed so happily that tears came out.

Because this time, he forgot to lock the mouse hole, so he could pop his head out to see the damaged lampstand outside, the long aisle, and the place wider than a gap.

Gu knows that this is just the beginning, and this is just the beginning of Gu going out.Gu can get the strength to probe out from a gap, and can get the right to walk out of the courtyard from this small mouse hole.

What is needed is lonely patience, but the most lonely thing is time and patience.

Sitting alone on the cold stone, looking up at the gloomy sky.The sky above his head always seems to be overcast and cloudy. When the big brother was there, Gu could still see the warm sun, but after the big brother left, Gu could never see such a sunny day again.It seems that the sun has been taken away by the big brother, or maybe it is not an illusion of Gu, but a fact.

Leaning against the wooden door, Gu closed his eyes and waited quietly, waiting for the man to come back, waiting for him to give Gu a chance.

There is nothing left.

So this time, Gu didn't care about anything.

He will come back, maybe he didn't know who was in this yard in the past, but just now, he knew.
