Nanlin Bamboo Demon

"Hmm...the sound of running water?"

Sleeping Wei Lin slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the delicate bamboo roof. He turned his head and looked around. It was an extremely simple bamboo house. Apart from the basic living utensils, the most conspicuous thing was the place in the corner of the house. Stack of books on bamboo shelf.There is nothing superfluous in this house, all the furniture is made of bamboo, and the house is clean and tidy.

"Here...where is it?"

He sat up slowly, touched his neck, and the wound had healed.

"It seems that some expert saved me."

Thinking of this in his heart, he got out of bed, walked to the door, and went to find this expert.

As soon as he moved to the door, he was fascinated by the scenery outside the door.It turned out that the sound of running water was the stream in front of the gate. The house was built by the stream. The sunlight shone on the stream and shimmered on the bamboo, which was very beautiful.

The bamboo hut and the stream are surrounded by bamboo forests. I must be in the depths of the forest. It seems that the owner of this house saved me.

The owner of this house must be an elegant person, Wei Lin thought to himself.Unexpectedly, there are still people living in the South Forest. I heard from my father that since the person passed away, there is no one to take care of this forest.I didn't expect that there are still people here, I don't know, is it...

"Are you awake?"

This voice pulled Wei Lin back from his thoughts.Looking for the reputation, the person in front of him is wearing a light green cloth with a darker blue gauze over the cloth, holding a big fish in his hand, smiling softly... Hair blowing in the wind And the green hairband, and the sound that got into the ears, seemed to run to Wei Lin's heart together, scratching, itching.

Wei Lin stared at the man, not realizing that he was in a daze.

All the surrounding sounds seemed to be deaf, the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo forest, the sound of water, all disappeared, Wei Lin just stared straight at the person in front of him.

Seeing Wei Lin's ecstasy, the man smiled and asked again, "Are you awake?"

"Oh, yes..." Wei Lin, who suddenly came back to his senses again, realized something was wrong with him, and responded embarrassingly.

"Did the young master save me?"

"Well, I heard something strange in the forest last night, so I came out to have a look, followed the sound, and found you injured, and then brought you back." The savior carrying the fish walked into the house while talking. Come, put the fish in a basin by the window, the fish is still alive, thumping vigorously in it.

"Thank you... I didn't ask for your surname and name, but my surname is Wei, and my single name is Lin."

The man smiled and replied, "My surname is Gu, and my name is Nianran."

"Gu? Are you from the Gu family? Then you belong to Uncle Gu Bo..."

Hearing "Gu's family", Gu Nianran suddenly looked gloomy, but he returned to normal in an instant, and replied flatly, "En."

Afterwards, he was bewildered and surprised, "Do you know my father?"

"I met a few times when I was a child. Didn't you hear your father mention the Wei family?"

Gu Nianran shook her head, "He hasn't talked to me much..."

Wei Lin thought that Gu Bo's wife, Ran Niang, died because of giving birth to Gu Nianran... Thinking about it this way, could it be for this reason that Gu Bo didn't want to get close to this son?But seeing that Gu Nianran didn't seem to want to discuss these matters, Wei Lin didn't ask any more.

There was a tinge of embarrassment in the air. In order to relieve the embarrassment, Wei Lin started to talk again.

"By the way, the snake venom is not so easy to cure. I didn't have any luck last night. How did you heal me overnight and the wounds healed? Seeing that you are so young and your medical skills are already so good, I thought it was something. An expert from outside the world will save you."

Gu Nianran looked up at Wei Lin, stretched out her left hand, showing her wrist, "That's what I used."

It was a knotted rope made of many thin red ropes, with a small emerald green bead tied in the middle of the knotted rope.

"This is left to me by my mother. It can cure all kinds of diseases."

"My lord!" Wei Lin wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Wei Fu's passionate shout.

"Young master! You are awake! Great!"

Seeing Wei Fu who suddenly rushed in with a surprised face, Wei Lin was startled first, then looked up and down to make sure Wei Fu was not injured, and then asked.

"Where is he now?"

"I just followed all the way, watching him run all the way back to the city, and then back to his mansion! I was very surprised, but I didn't want to think too much. I, worried about you, saw that he didn't want to leave Look, I hurried back to look for you, but the forest was too big and I lost my way, but fortunately I met this one!" After speaking, he looked at Nian Ran happily and smiled, "Mr. Gu said you were with him, I just now When you came here, you were still awake, he said to catch a fish for you to refresh yourself, I just wanted to find some fruit for you, whoever wanted to find it for a long time but couldn't find it..."

Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Although he is still staying in the city, he is really unclear about his whereabouts and purpose, and what he will do next. I'm afraid our appearance will speed up his pace." .We'll go back to the city right away..." As he spoke, he walked out of the house.

"Master! Mr. Gu even caught fish for you!"

"Ah, it's okay, your business is important." After finishing speaking, Wei Lin still smiled slightly, which made Wei Lin feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know the reason, and then replied, "I will come back again, This fish please leave Mr. Gu for me, please Mr. Gu."

"Then Mr. Gu, let's go first!" Wei Fu followed closely behind Wei Lin and said goodbye to Nian Ran quickly.

Leaving Nian Ran still in a daze,

"Eh? It's really... hurried..."

Thinking about this, Nianran went out and filled some water from the creek and poured it into the fish basin, and raised the fish that had been throbbing for a long time.

Wei Lin and Wei Fu are on their way.

"Young master, how did that Mr. Gu heal your injury? There are people with such superb medical skills in this human world, and they look so young. This is a rare genius!"

"He is no ordinary person."

"Huh? Who is that?"

"He is the Bamboo Demon, the child of Ranniang."

"Ranniang? Is that the Ranniang that Old Wei often mentioned?"

"Well... Ranniang is the only person who has the power of 'healing' in this world. After she passed away, no one in this world has that ability. That young master is Uncle Gu Bo's child again... ...and happened to have that knotted rope..."

It seems...he lives alone now...has his family left... Wei Lin was puzzled.

"Master, tell me, Mr. Gu was driven out by his family..."

Wei Lin shook his head, "I don't know... but... I can see that he should have lived all these years by himself..." After speaking, he looked at Wei Fu, "Don't mention this in front of Young Master Gu, he doesn't seem very Willing to mention those things."

"Oh... By the way, what is the knot you mentioned just now?"

"!correct!"

Wei Lin suddenly said this sentence as if he had thought of something.

"what happened?"

"Let's go back!"

"Where are you going?"

"Go back to Nanlin."
