Chapter 57 Is it a dream or reality?

The blood in his body seemed to have frozen. Xie Anci's hand holding Gu Lingyu turned pale due to the cold and the force.

Just when Xie Anci could no longer hold on, they were swept to the shore. Xie Anci threw down the driftwood and quickly pulled out the Yilan Sword and stuck it on the shore. He threw

Gu Lingyu ashore with all his strength. Xie Anci climbed up the shore by grabbing the weeds on the shore. He collapsed on the ground and gasped for air.

The rain hit his face, but Xie Anci was unaware of it. He turned his head to look at Gu Lingyu, who was still unconscious, and forced himself to get up and crawl to his side.

"Gu Lingyu, wake up!" Xie Anci patted Gu Lingyu's face. His face was so hot that it was alarming. Xie Anci's heart tightened. He stretched out his hand to feel his breath. After feeling the faint breath, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was exhausted now and had no strength to get up. He fell into a deep sleep for a while, and the heat on his body disappeared.

No!

He had to find a place to survive first.

Xie Anci got up with difficulty. Wei Chen and the others should send someone to find them. As long as they could hold on for this period of time, it would be fine.

Xie Anci was extremely glad that he brought the Yilan Sword today. He walked with difficulty, holding Gu Lingyu in one hand and the Yilan Sword in the other.

But this place was so desolate that not even a human figure could be seen, and the towering trees everywhere blocked the sky.

Xie Anci dragged Gu Lingyu along very slowly, but he never thought of abandoning Gu Lingyu.

Perhaps it was because of what happened when they were children, or perhaps it was because he didn't want to see General Gu die without a follower. Fortunately,

Xie Anci found a cave not long after he walked. There were traces of a fire in the cave, and it seemed that there were people living nearby.

Xie Anci planned to wait until he recovered some strength and the rain stopped before going out.

After throwing Gu Lingyu on the ground, Xie Anci picked up the dry firewood in the cave, and there was also a flint thrown by someone next to it.

Xie Anci started a fire, and the warm flames made him breathe a sigh of relief, as if he were alive again.

"Cold..." Gu Lingyu's brows were tightly knitted, and it was unclear whether it was sweat or rain on his handsome face. His hands were unconsciously hugging his arms, and he looked very pitiful.

Xie Anci took off his coat and placed it next to the fire. He glanced at the unconscious Gu Lingyu, and stripped him naked as if he had given up, and helped him get closer to the fire.

The firelight flickered on their faces, and Xie Anci suddenly felt his waist tightened. Gu Lingyu was hanging on him, and he kept saying "cold".

Xie Anci: "..."

"Gu Lingyu, Gu Lingyu..." Xie Anci patted Gu Lingyu's face. Gu Lingyu frowned and showed no sign of waking up.

"Anci... Brother Anci..." Gu Lingyu's mumbling in his sleep made Xie Anci shudder.

He hadn't heard this title for a long time. In the past, Li Jinchen, Gu Lingyu and Zhou Yunqing would always surround him and call him "Brother Anci".

A pair of admiring eyes looked up at him, and Xie Anci chuckled.

Master Zhou was his teacher, and he didn't want to become like this.

But things have changed, and he has to go on the path he has chosen no matter how difficult it is.

Xie Anci tore off his sleeves, soaked them in rain water and applied them on Gu Lingyu's forehead.

The rain gradually became lighter, and his coat was dried by the heat.

Xie Anci put on his clothes and went out. Gu Lingyu's condition would definitely not work without medicine, so he planned to go out and try his luck to see if he could pick some herbs.

"Brother Anci... don't go, I was wrong, Brother Anci..." As soon as Xie Anci left, Gu Lingyu started talking nonsense again.

Gu Lingyu had a long dream. He dreamed that he returned to his carefree childhood.

At that time, their relationship was not so complicated, but Gu Lingyu knew that Li Jinchen and Zhou Yunqing also admired Xie Anci like him.

At that time, Xie Anci was about ten years old, handsome, and had the unbridled publicity that was unique to that age.

Xie Anci was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and riding and archery were no problem. He became a nobleman praised by everyone in the capital.

After all, most of the playboys in the capital always liked to stir up trouble. It was rare to find a young man like Xie Anci who was excellent in everything and liked to help the weak.

At that time, the threshold of the royal palace was almost trampled by matchmakers.

Fortunately, Xie Anci did not have such thoughts.

Gu Lingyu and others always liked to snuggle up to Xie Anci and pester him to tell them stories.

Xie Anci was handsome, and his voice was as clear and pleasant as a stream, making people feel like spring breeze.

They liked Xie Anci's excellence and his gentleness.

Therefore, they always competed secretly in private, perhaps for favor?

Gu Lingyu probably disliked Zhou Yunqing before, because he had too many tricks and liked to pretend, and Xie Anci's attention was attracted by him.

No one thought that Xie Anci would like Li Jinchen, and no one thought that Xie Anci would touch Zhou Taifu.

After that, their relationship plummeted, and even when Gu Lingyu was asleep, his expression changed from joy to anger and sadness.

Every time he saw Xie Anci, he couldn't help but ridicule him and wanted to embarrass him. He used despicable means to attract his attention like he did when he was a child.

He knew that Xie Anci didn't care, but the less he cared, the more he insulted him. He hated himself for being like this, but he couldn't control himself.

Gu Lingyu didn't know whether the ending of this dream was good or bad, and he fell asleep again.

The rain outside the cave had turned into a drizzle, and Xie Anci carefully looked for herbs around. Relying on some medical knowledge he had learned before, he identified various plants.

Finally, he found a few herbs that could reduce fever. Xie Anci hurried back to the cave, but found that Gu Lingyu's condition seemed to be worse.

"Gu Lingyu, wake up and take the medicine." Xie Anci crushed the herbs and tried to feed them to Gu Lingyu.

However, Gu Lingyu closed his mouth tightly and couldn't feed it at all.

They had nothing in this deserted place, let alone boil medicine for him.

Xie Anci had no choice but to chew the herbs first and then feed them to Gu Lingyu mouth to mouth.

He let Gu Lingyu lie on her back, and his cool lips touched Gu Lingyu's hot lips, burning Xie Anci so much that he suddenly shrank back.

After a lot of trouble, Gu Lingyu finally swallowed the medicine.

Xie Anci heaved a sigh of relief, sat aside, and looked at Gu Lingyu quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Lingyu's body temperature finally slowly dropped, and his breathing became steady.

Xie Anci's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he leaned against the stone wall and fell asleep unknowingly.

When Gu Lingyu woke up again, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth, so bitter that he was about to vomit.

What he saw was Xie Anci leaning against the stone wall exhausted, and the dim light shining on his body made him feel a little softer.

Gu Lingyu blinked and chewed the herbs in his mouth.

Suddenly his eyes widened, and he seemed to have fainted. Could it be that the herbs in his mouth were chewed by himself?
