Chapter 32: She must have been terrified during these days of waking up from her sleep.
The next morning, as soon as Qi Xunsheng opened the door, he saw Gu Yue sitting on the stone steps with a bag on his back.
Hearing the sound, Gu Yue turned around: "It's almost ten o'clock, are you a pig?"
Shan Xianmin, who was walking behind Qi Xunsheng, rubbed her eyes and poked her head out, her face full of surprise: "Senior Gu, have you been sitting here all night?"
Qi Xunsheng didn't understand how she came to the conclusion that she had "sat there all night".
Because of Wei Ling, Shan Xianmin and Gu Yue's relationship is not as tense as hers, and they can still talk to each other when they meet.
"That's not the case," Gu Yue looked at Qi Xunsheng again, "We're almost entering the mountains, and you still have the mood to sleep?"
"Hmm." Qi Xunsheng was too lazy to pay attention.
"Pack up and leave quickly." Gu Yue urged.
Qi Xunsheng frowned. If she was reading correctly, it was only just dawn, maybe seven at the latest. Although she wanted to get into the mountains quickly, Gu Yue's reaction and attitude were strange, making her suspicious. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Gu Yue urged again: "If you're any later, you won't be able to leave."
"Why?" Qi Xunsheng tilted his head and stared at her closely, not missing any expression.
Gu Yue gritted her teeth: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
The two of them were deadlocked, neither of them giving in. Finally, Gu Yue looked at Shan Xianmin who was watching the show nearby and said, "I advise you to stand on my side this time."
"Ah?" Shan Xianmin didn't understand.
But soon someone answered her doubts, but that person was not Gu Yue.
"I was guarding your door, but you still sneaked out." A beautiful and gentle figure appeared along with the sigh.
"Senior!" Shan Xianmin was very happy to see Wei Ling suddenly appear. She jumped up and ran to her side, "Senior, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, you'll go into the mountains," Wei Ling looked at Shan Xianmin helplessly, and then said to Gu Yue, "I told you this so that you can stop them, not join in the fun."
Gu Yue felt guilty and could only complain to Qi Xunsheng: "I told you, hurry up and leave."
Yesterday's suspicions had an answer today. They were not wrong. It was indeed Wei Ling who told Gu Yue about entering Kunling Mountain, but she meant well and wanted Gu Yue to stop it.
Gu Yue, who acted like a bully in front of Qi Xunsheng, now became mute in front of Wei Ling.
Qi Xunsheng and Wei Ling have less contact, Shan Xianmin is the link, there is no private contact, and it is not clear how Gu Yue gets along with her, but from what it seems today, the two are more like sisters than friends.
Wei Ling takes care of Gu Yue, and Gu Yue is afraid of Wei Ling.
"Why can't I come in?"
"Although I don't know why you want to enter Kunling Mountain, I don't think it's because of Teacher Luo. If the answer you want is in Kunling Mountain, you can tell me the difficulties you encounter. Perhaps I can help."
Qi Xunsheng looked at Shan Xianmin, who shook his head to indicate that he knew nothing.
"If it's not for Teacher Luo, then what are you doing it for?" Gu Yue frowned with a questioning look.
Qi Xunsheng rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that this plan failed to lure the snake out of its hole, but instead caused trouble for himself.
Shan Xianmin, the only person who knew the situation, tried to smooth things over, but was frightened away by Wei Ling's cold gaze as soon as she spoke. She hid behind Qi Xunsheng, tugged at her clothes, and whispered, "My brain short-circuited."
Being warned by the eyes of the person she likes, she couldn't come up with any more weird excuses in her mind.
"Save people."
"Who?"
"There are no herbs in it that can save people."
Gu Yue and Wei Ling spoke at the same time, but it was obvious that they were not concerned about the same issue.
"How do you know?" Qi Xunsheng asked.
But this was not the answer Gu Yue wanted to hear, so she asked again: "Who do you want to save?"
"Why do you care who I save? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
"..." Gu Yue choked for a moment at her ruthless disdain. After a few seconds, he said confidently, "Teacher Luo told me to take good care of you before he died."
She had already brought up Teacher Luo, so Qi Xunsheng would not have argued with her anymore as usual. But she guessed wrong, as Qi Xunsheng did not restrain himself.
"Don't use Teacher Luo to pressure me." Qi Xunsheng would never give up halfway on anything she wanted to do.
Shan Xianmin also popped up from behind her at the right time: "You always bring up Teacher Luo. Senior Sister Gu, are you secretly in love with our Xun Sheng?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there were two sounds of vomiting at the scene. When they turned around, Gu Yue and Qi Xunsheng covered their chests and made vomiting expressions and movements.
"Senior Wei, how do you know there are no herbs to save lives?"
"I also heard it from my grandmother. She said the experts returned empty-handed because there was poisonous fog inside and some creatures beyond human cognition."
"That doesn't mean there aren't any herbs in it, does it?"
Seeing that she was unmoved, Gu Yue became angry: "She means that whether there are herbs or not, you won't survive, understand?"
Qi Xunsheng snorted coldly and ignored her.
"What herbs do you need? I can ask my grandma."
“…”
As for what medicinal herbs, Qi Xunsheng really didn't know.
Immortal Miya only said that the thing that could save Qi Zhao was in Kunling Mountain. As for what it was, she didn't elaborate. She would know once she got in.
"How about this," seeing her bewildered face, Wei Ling didn't make things difficult for her and comforted her, "You go home and wait for two more days. If the person you want to save hasn't gotten better, how about I go into the mountains with you?"
"No, no, her heart meridian is damaged and she can only be protected for a few days."
"Is her heart damaged?" Wei Ling took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket. "Then feed this to her. It will help her survive for a few more days."
"Why did you take out the Ganoderma Lucidum Pill? This is the life-saving medicine your grandma gave you." Gu Yue exclaimed.
Gu Yue was close to her and knew that the Wei family had been practicing medicine for generations. In order to protect her, the Wei grandmother let her carry the ancestral elixir with her. It was said that this medicine had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
The ancestor of the Gu family was a Feng Shui master. He understood that the world is vast and full of wonders, and he firmly believed in the effectiveness of this medicine.
"I don't need it. If I can save a life, it's a blessing. The most important thing is..." Wei Ling sighed, "I just hope you won't do anything reckless. Don't even think about going into Kunling Mountain again."
Qi Xunsheng felt ashamed.
A few minutes ago, she thought Wei Ling was a bad guy, thinking that he was a spy planted by the immortal Mi Ya among them.
She deserves to die.
Shan Xianmin had the same idea as her.
"This medicine has a special feature. Please follow me."
Qi Xunsheng followed her into the house, and when they were alone, he heard her say, "This medicine needs blood to work, which means it uses blood as a guide."
"Do you want the blood of the person being rescued?" Qi Xunsheng was stunned.
"Is it difficult?"
"Hmm..." She was more than embarrassed. The main reason was that she didn't know what Qi Zhao was. Was he a demon, a ghost, or a god? She didn't know any of this. She didn't know if she could use Qi Zhao's blood, and she didn't know if taking Qi Zhao's blood would have any effect on her.
"It's not necessary to take her blood."
"Then use mine."
Since Wei Ling was so generous as to take out the heirloom to help her, there was no need for her to make unnecessary suspicions. After getting her nod, she looked at the fruit knife on the table and turned her head away.
This is too sharp.
"Can I use a needle?"
Wei Ling nodded: "Okay."
Qi Xunsheng gritted her teeth and kept repeating in her mind how good Qi Zhao had been to her, using his life-saving grace to influence her. When she had gathered enough courage, she gently pricked her fingertip with a needle, and blood instantly came out.
"Okay." Wei Ling put the blood-stained pill back into the bottle.
The two walked out of the villa.
Outside the villa, Shan Xianmin stood in front of Gu Yue and prevented her from entering the room.
Gu Yue's face was filled with anger. Seeing someone coming out, he said to Qi Xunsheng fiercely, "She has helped you so much, why don't you tell me who you want to save?"
Although he felt her tone was overbearing and unpleasant, under Wei Ling's equally curious gaze, Qi Xunsheng still said the answer in a bad mood: "Qi Zhao."
"What?" Gu Yue frowned and said angrily, "How long have you known each other? Is she worth taking such a risk?"
Qi Xunsheng didn't want to argue with her, but Gu Yue didn't let her go: "In my opinion, she married you for profit. Maybe she just thought you were stupid and wanted you to take risks for her."
Qi Xunsheng didn't want to tell her the reason. Only she knew how good a person Qi Zhao was. Her life was given by Qi Zhao. If it weren't for Qi Zhao, she didn't know how many times she would have died.
"If you don't know, don't say anything. I watched from the side and Qi Zhao treated her very well." Shan Xianmin, who also knew the inside story, couldn't help but speak up for her.
"Good? You mean just spending a little money and doing a little favor is enough to make it good?"
"Hey, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense."
"Then tell me, why would Qi Zhao marry such an idiot like her?"
Qi Xunsheng endured it again and again, but she didn't expect that Gu Yue not only did not restrain himself, but became more and more aggressive. She really couldn't bear it anymore. The moment Gu Yue looked at her, she clenched her little fist and punched her hard in the face.
“…”
Everyone froze in place. The two were used to quarreling, and no one expected Qi Xunsheng to resort to violence.
"Why did she marry me? I'll tell you the reason—because she loves me, and I love her, so if she's in danger, I'm willing to give my life for her. Do people like you understand what love is? How can someone as narrow-minded, selfish, and self-centered as you love you?"
Qi Xunsheng didn't want to get entangled with her, but Gu Yue seemed to be stepping on firecrackers, which kept popping and exploding.
"Thank you. I will definitely repay you for your kindness." Qi Xunsheng turned around and went back to his room.
Shan Xianmin was stunned for two seconds and then hurried to catch up.
顾悦捂着被揍了一拳的脸颊，等到人走之后才反应过来，冷笑喃喃：“我不懂爱？没有人爱我？”
Finally, as if she was so angry that she laughed, she asked Wei Ling, "She said no one loves me? Can the people chasing me line up in a street?"
Wei Ling saw that she seemed to be mad with anger, and racked his brains to say a few words of comfort, but before he could say anything, he heard the sound of kicking and hitting something heavy, followed by a scream.
"Ah! The damn trash can bullies me too!" Gu Yue's aggrieved voice sounded. She was so flustered that she didn't know whether to rub her cheeks or toes.
Wei Ling on the side said: "...Don't bully the trash can because it can't speak."
"You bully me too!" Gu Yue no longer had the arrogance he had before. He pouted and turned into a wronged puppy.
For some reason, she felt bittersweet. Perhaps the punch was too heavy and painful, and it also hurt her eyes, so she had this strange emotion.
It must be because he was beaten but didn't get revenge, so he felt wronged.
Wei Ling looked at her for a long time and said calmly, "People always pay the price for things they are unwilling to admit."
The voice was so soft, so soft that Gu Yue, who was standing right next to her, couldn't hear it clearly. He could only see her look of regret and emotion.
"What did you say?"
"I say, be nice to Junior Sister, or you'll regret it."
"Please, do you want to watch what you are saying? I'm the one being beaten, how can you say such unreasonable words." Gu Yue curled her lips. Although Wei Ling did not comfort her and was even lecturing her, she just couldn't get angry. From the first time they met, she felt that Wei Ling was very kind.
"Also, what little junior sister? She's just an idiot who was sold but still helped others count money." Although they were in the same major and she was Luo Qingqing's favorite student, she never called her little junior sister.
"Qi Zhao has no ill will towards her."
"You haven't even met her, how do you know she has no ill intentions?" Gu Yue now reasonably suspected that Wei Ling was favoring Qi Xunsheng.
"Do you really think Qi Xunsheng is stupid?"
“…”
The two people who had already left had no idea about this conversation.
Shan Xianmin followed Qi Xunsheng and sat on the sofa with her. She watched her angrily open a bottle of soda and drink it. The slight anger on her face had not yet dissipated. This was the first time she saw Qi Xunsheng so angry.
But she thought about it from her own perspective, and realized that if someone slandered Wei Ling like this, she would definitely be just as angry.
"Look for the sound, calm down, Gu Yue just hasn't had any contact with Qi Zhao. If she had, she wouldn't feel that way."
"Not only did she scold Qi Zhao, she also called me an idiot!"
"..." Shan Xianmin murmured, "So you are angry that Gu Yue scolded you like that!"
Qi Xunsheng coughed lightly: "What else?"
Seeing the unnaturalness on her face, Shan Xianmin didn't point it out and continued to comfort her: "Only idiots would call others idiots, and only things that can break their own defenses would be used to insult others."
Qi Xunsheng nodded in agreement: "No..." She realized the typo before she finished speaking.
"I scolded her, too."
"You're fighting back, that's completely different."
As expected of a good sister, she was able to find words of comfort to make amends in just a few seconds.
Qi Xunsheng was instantly coaxed by her: "There is no time to lose, I will go back to Rose Manor to see the effect of the medicine."
Wei Ling had no reason to harm Qi Zhao, not to mention that there was a medicine maniac in the manor. As long as he gave the medicine to the medicine maniac, he would know whether Qi Zhao could be cured.
"Take me, take me."
After these days, Shan Xianmin was no longer as afraid of Rose Manor as before.
Previously, she was afraid of Rose Manor because of her first experience and the aura around Qi Zhao, but after seeing Qi Zhao risk his own life to save Qi Xunsheng, and doing so several times, Shan Xianmin now has only respect and awe for Qi Zhao.
If it weren't for Qi Zhao's life-saving grace, her good friend would have been gone long ago.
Qi Xunsheng’s savior is her savior.
So, she also wanted to visit her savior.
The medicine bottle looks big, but it actually only contains one pill, and the surface glows red when it is taken out.
The medicine maniac was overjoyed when he saw the medicine: "It's a life-saving medicine! This pill consumes materials and takes hundreds of years to refine. I have only seen the basics in medical books. Where did you get this elixir?"
Although he knew that this medicine must be precious as a ancestral medicine of the Wei family, he did not expect it to be so precious. Qi Xunsheng was about to answer when he remembered the message he received on the way here.
Wei Ling said that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please do not tell others the origin of the medicine or the medicine guide.
Although there are ghosts in Rose Manor, as long as it is confirmed that the medicine is a useful elixir, it is okay to keep it a secret.
"Did you go to Kunling Mountain?" Cheng Wei asked when he saw her hesitant.
"No," Qi Xunsheng hesitated for two seconds and finally mentioned the Immortal Miya, "The Immortal Miya gave it to me."
"I've been begging for a long time." He added, fearing they wouldn't believe him.
Cheng Wei was skeptical, but the most important thing now was Qi Zhao.
After giving Qi Zhao the pill, Qi Xunsheng stayed by her side day and night.
Shan Xianmin would visit her every day and complain to her about recent events.
"Do you know Jiang Xue? She and Gu Yue are in love."
"oh."
Jiang Xue is in the same grade as her. She waits outside Gu Yue's class every day to bring her milk tea, in the name of pursuing her.
After persisting for a year, I deserve some rewards now.
"My circle of friends has been flooded with posts, and my classmates are all discussing it."
Shan Xianmin hesitated for two seconds before asking the question in her heart: "Do you think it was your words that day that irritated her?"
"?"
"You said she didn't understand love, so she went into a relationship to prove to you that she understood love and that someone loved her."
"What's it to me?"
Qi Xunsheng couldn't stand her speculation and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"How come you're not involved? I don't think Gu Yue really wants to scold you. She actually likes you, but she's jealous that Qi Zhao can marry you, so she said something she didn't want to say."
Sitting for a long time caused neck pain, so Qi Xunsheng stood up and walked around. He acted as if he didn't hear what she said, squatted down and began to tidy up the flowers and grass beside the coffin.
"After thinking about it, I really feel that she likes you," Shan Xianmin had felt this way for a long time. Who would quarrel with others for no reason every day? She has always liked to eat melons, and now that her friend has become the owner of the melon, she must be even more curious and excited.
"Did you hear that? I said Gu Yue likes you," Shan Xianmin grinned behind her, "Don't you have anything to say?"
If someone she hates likes her, she will definitely torture that person to death.
"I heard it."
"I heard it and then..." Shan Xianmin hadn't finished speaking when he felt something was wrong. The sound came from the coffin behind him. The voice was hoarse, as if he had just woken up from a long sleep. It was not Qi Xunsheng's voice. A chill rose from the soles of his feet.
Qi Xunsheng reacted faster than her. He immediately rushed to the side of the coffin and asked anxiously, "You're finally awake. Are you still feeling unwell?"
"How long have I slept?"
"Seven days."
After only sleeping for seven days, Qi Zhao felt as if he were in another world. He raised his hand and gently stroked the cheek of the person in front of him.
Qi Xunsheng's eyes were red, and he let her touch him, biting his lip and hanging his head. I felt so pitiful and wronged when I saw him.
"Who is Gu Yue?"
The sudden question destroyed the charming and ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Shan Xianmin, who was almost moved to tears by this scene, stopped wiping her eyes with her hand. She took a few steps back, ready to escape at any time.
"I don't know him." Qi Xunsheng tried to save Shan Xianmin.
"Who is Gu Yue?" Qi Zhao turned the subject to Shan Xianmin.
"A senior student..." Could she just say she didn't know him? Qi Zhao's eyes, as sharp as an icy blade, didn't allow her to lie.
It’s strange to say, even though he had been lying in the coffin for so many days, his face was full of blood and he didn’t look like a dead person at all.
Oh Qi Zhao is not dead.
Although I don't know what she is, I definitely can't afford to offend her.
"I heard it. What then?" Qi Zhao said calmly, "Go on."
"..." Was that for her? She would listen to anything.
"She is gossiping with me. Don't you have any friends who have gossiped with you?" Qi Xunsheng had to take action at the critical moment.
Qi Zhao naturally knew what gossip was, but when she said it, it sounded more like a mockery. She narrowed her eyes and frowned.
Qi Xunsheng took the opportunity to look at Shan Xianmin.
Shan Xianmin left the backyard as if escaping.
The backyard was very quiet. Qi Zhao had just woken up and was still a little weak. He leaned his elbows on the edge of the coffin and raised his eyes slightly: "It seems that you are ready to abandon me."
There was a subtle sense of grievance hidden in her words, and Qi Xunsheng chuckled. When Qi Zhao glanced at her indifferently, she immediately stopped smiling.
"How could that be?" Qi Xunsheng took her hand and held her against his chest. "You don't know how sad I was during the days you were in a coma. I was thinking all day about how to save you."
"Really?" Just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, Qi Zhao's eyes were filled with gentle ripples.
Qi Xunsheng nodded: "Yeah, if you don't believe me, ask Sister Cheng Wei."
Qi Zhao finally believed it, and his tone and expression became much gentler: "You want to lie here with me? This is a good place."
"?" She remembered that this person had just woken up, right? "Have you forgotten that you just came back to life?"
"I haven't forgotten." This reminded her. Qi Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her. "You saved me?"
According to previous experience, this time it is like exchanging life for life, and it is more serious than before. It cannot be solved by just sleeping for a few years.
She couldn't wake herself up in a short period of time, but Qi Xunsheng could do it.
"What did you do?"
Qi Xunsheng was a little proud, and curled his lips slightly: "Don't be too moved, I have returned one of your three lives."
Qi Zhao twitched his lips: "So amazing."
These words inexplicably made Qi Xunsheng's cheeks hot, especially when he was stared at by her, the burning feeling became even stronger.
Although it was only a week, she felt that this period of time was too long.
She had never been so afraid of losing someone.
"Has the person who hurt you been caught?"
"Of course he was arrested and sent to the police station."
"That's good." Although she knew that she was very intelligent, she was still worried that she couldn't protect herself well. The second before she fell asleep, she regretted not being able to arrange things in advance.
Or was he too confident that he could stay with her safely?
"So how did you save me?"
Seeing that the topic had come back around, Qi Xunsheng scratched his head with an unnatural expression: "Do I have to say it?"
Qi Zhao nodded slightly.
"Just asking for some medicine."
"Where did you ask for it?"
Qi Xunsheng thought of the text message again.
Wei Ling said that she didn't need to repay him, she just needed to help her keep the secret, including from Qi Zhao.
She thought that maybe Wei Ling didn't know Qi Zhao, so he didn't trust him, so he asked her to keep the secret even from Qi Zhao.
Since she had agreed, she could not break the contract, so she repeated what she had said to Cheng Wei and Yao Chi.
Qi Zhao narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Not sure if she believed it or not, Qi Xunsheng quickly shouted outside, "Sister Cheng Wei! Qi Zhao is awake!"
Two ghosts instantly floated in crying, and the entire backyard echoed with the howling of ghosts and wolves.
After being interrupted by the two ghosts, Qi Zhao was not in a position to continue asking. Qi Xunsheng stood behind the two ghosts and wiped his tears.
Qi Zhao glanced at the two ghosts, and they retreated.
He glanced at Qi Xunsheng again, but the other party showed no sign of restraining himself.
The man and two ghosts cried even louder.
Qi Zhao originally thought that Qi Xunsheng was just joining in the fun and wanted to scold and warn her, but when he saw the crystal teardrop in the corner of her eye, he suddenly stopped.
She must have been very scared during the days I was asleep.
Never mind. It will only give you a headache for a while. Just cry if you want to.
