What about cultivating one's character and accumulating virtues? It's all nonsense. Today, if someone stands in the way, kill him; if Buddha stands in the way, kill Buddha.
Gu Lingze put the sword back, fearing that it would scare the two children.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, two figures rushed towards him.
“Brother, brother…brother.”
Jinzi and Lingzi kept calling out to him, and Gu Lingze felt as if his heart was being rubbed hard by someone.
He hugged the two of them tightly in his arms, his throat felt like it was blocked by cotton, and he couldn't even agree to a word.
The three of them hugged each other tightly, and after a while, Lingzi suddenly heard a gurgling sound from her stomach.
"Brother, I'm so hungry. I want to eat. Can I?" Lingzi looked at his face and asked cautiously.
He had worked so hard to raise Reiko into a lively and lovely girl, but now she has returned to the timid look she had when they first met.
Gu Lingze took a deep breath and said, "Yes, of course. I'll take you to dinner now."
He carried Wu Rui on his back, and Jinzi and Lingzi each pulled his sleeve, and walked towards the farm where they had lived before.
The four of them arrived at the door of the manor, and Lingzi hid behind him, "Brother, I'm scared."
Gu Lingze lowered his head and smiled at her gently, "Don't be afraid, Lingzi, I'm here."
He walked forward and kicked the door, and there was a sound of chains.
Gu Lingze held Wu Rui with his left hand, told Jinzi and Lingzi to stay away, and grabbed in the air with his right hand, and the Mo Shuang Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
He inserted his finger through the crack in the door, pushed upward with force, and the chain broke.
When those people went to make trouble just now, Hu hid behind the crowd and watched the fun. She didn't expect that Gu Lingze would really dare to pick up the sword and kill people. When she saw him come in, she was like seeing an evil ghost.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here."
As soon as the voice fell, the remaining people of the Zhao family all ran towards the door. Hu ran far away and shouted loudly, "See how long you can be crazy!"
Gu Lingze didn't even raise his eyes as he carried Wu Rui into the inner room, only to find the unconscious Zhao Hongcai still lying on the bed.
Gu Lingze grabbed Zhao Hongcai's collar with his right hand and threw him to the ground, then took a clean quilt from the closet and covered Wu Rui with it.
Gu Lingze touched his forehead and found that it was not as hot as before, so he felt relieved.
Then he picked up Zhao Hongcai from the ground, dragged him to the door like a dead dog, and threw him down the stairs.
Gu Lingze squatted down and looked into Jinzi and Lingzi's eyes. "Tell me what you want to eat."
Lingzi shouted anxiously, "Brother, I'm so hungry, I just want to eat." Jinzi didn't say anything, just nodded.
"You guys go to the inner room and look after Brother Wu Rui. I'll go cook."
Gu Lingze watched Jin Zilingzi go into the inner room, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen.
He was afraid that the two children were too hungry and had weak stomachs, so he made vegetable porridge first so that Wu Rui could drink it when he woke up.
He kneaded the dough and made several more egg pancakes. During this time, Lingzi came twice, lying at the crack of the door, not saying a word, just looking at him.
After the meal was ready, Gu Lingze brought it directly to the inner room and let them eat there.
The two children ate voraciously, and Gu Lingze said "be careful, it's hot" several times, but he didn't slow them down.
At this time, perhaps because of the aroma of the food, Wu Rui woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Wu Rui sat up, his bloodshot eyes full of vigilance.
Jinzi and Lingzi also quickly put down their chopsticks and gathered around the bed.
"Wu Rui, don't be afraid, it's me." After saying that, Gu Lingze stood up and picked up a bowl of vegetable porridge from the table.
Wu Rui stared at him blankly, his mouth opening and closing as if he was saying something, "It's not... it's not a dream."
Gu Lingze felt a sore nose when he heard this. He blinked hard and tried to force a smile. "Of course it's not a dream. Can you drink such delicious vegetable porridge in your dream?"
After saying that, Gu Lingze scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then put it to his mouth.
Wu Rui lowered his head and took a sip half-believingly, then smacked his lips, raised his head instantly, and looked at him with shining eyes, "This is not a dream, Brother Lingze, you are really back!"
Gu Lingze hummed softly and stirred the vegetable porridge in his hand. This bowl had been air-dried just now, and now the temperature was just right. He took the spoon and fed Wu Rui one spoonful at a time.
Wu Rui ordered three bowls of food before he no longer felt hungry. After the meal, Gu Lingze fed him some medicine and he fell into a deep sleep again.
Gu Lingze estimated the time, used hot water to wipe Jinzi and Lingzi as clean as possible, and then sent them back to their original room to rest.
Gu Lingze covered them with a blanket and turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Jin Zi grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother, don't leave."
Gu Lingze smiled gently, "I'm not leaving. I'm going to the neighbor's house to buy some meat and make braised pork rice for you tonight."
But Jin Zi still didn't let go, "I don't want to eat braised pork rice, I just want to keep looking at you, I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, you will disappear again."
Gu Lingze clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves, and flicked his forehead with his other hand, "You are already a boy, why are you still acting like a spoiled child with your brother? I promise, I will go and come back quickly. If you don't see me when you wake up, don't call me brother next time."
When Jinzi heard the three words "Tongshenglang", she blushed and then closed her eyes obediently. After a while, both of them breathed evenly and fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Lingze tucked them in, closed the door and went out. He looked at Wu Rui again, and half of his body was out of the quilt, probably because of the fever and sweating. Gu Lingze took back his hands and feet and tucked him in.
Gu Lingze walked out of the gate and sat on the steps in front of the manor. He looked up at the sky and it was almost time.
After another stick of incense had passed, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed into Donglin Village with great momentum. Zhao Hongwen nodded and bowed as he led the way for the people walking in front.
He saw Gu Lingze sitting there from a distance and shouted loudly, "Sir, it's him!"
Gu Lingze opened his eyes and saw that it was still an acquaintance.
When Zou Guanghong saw him, he was no longer in a hurry and walked over slowly.
"Who was it that I was talking about? It turned out to be the famous Doctor Gu. What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will arrest you, so you are bluffing here with a sword?"
If Zou Guanghong wasn't stupid, he would still think he was just a doctor.
"I was wondering who it was. It turns out it's you, the dog, that's barking again. What's the matter? The punch I gave you at the Dali Temple last time hasn't taught you a lesson yet."
After Gu Lingze finished speaking, he nodded as if he understood something, "I forgot that dogs always remember food but not beatings."
