Chapter 19 The bell

After nightfall, Yu Chi and Gu Jue lay on the same bed, Gu Jue still lying very straight.

"How much did you hear Jiang Suo's words?"

Maybe others couldn't hear clearly, but Yu Chi knew that Gu Jue could hear clearly, and Jiang Xu could hear it too.

"...I heard it all."

"Then are you scared?"

Yu Chi turned over and faced Gu Jue.

Gu Jue tilted his head and looked at Yu Chi in the dark.

"Then will you, lock me up, or something?"

His voice was a little small, not sure if it was because he was shy or didn't believe that he would be what Yu Chi wanted.

He felt Yu Chi's hand touching his face, with a slightly cool temperature and the smell he liked.

"If I lock you up, will you try to escape?"

Gu Jue turned sideways and moved closer to Yu Chi.

"If I escape, will you try to catch me back?"

"..."

Yu Chi's hand touched Gu Jue's eyes and brushed the corners of his eyes. Gu Jue narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I don't know~"

"What do you mean you don't know!?"

...

The next day, before dawn, Gu Jue heard a bell ring. The sound was a little far away and not very real.

He thought he was dreaming, and he yawned in a daze without opening his eyes. He subconsciously snuggled into Yu Chi's arms again.

The temperature in the quilt was tainted with the scent of Yu Chi, and it was very comfortable.

When they got up, washed, packed their things and went to the front hall, Feng Wuqing was the only one there.

He saw Yu Chi and Gu Jue coming, and handed Yu Chi an envelope.

"This is what my brother asked me to give to Doctor Yu Chi. He said it's a thank-you gift for you to help him find Mingze."

Yu Chi accepted it, but did not open it in front of him. He took out a piece of paper, put it on the table, and pushed it to Feng Wuqing.

"This is the medical fee for Master Wuyou. If you can't accept it, we can talk about it later."

Feng Wuqing was a little confused and didn't understand why the medical fee had to be written on a piece of paper.

In the puzzled eyes of Gu Jue, he opened the paper. There were only a few sentences on the paper, and he read it all at a glance.

Feng Wuqing thought for a while and finally stood up.

"No problem, I agree."

Gu Jue didn't know what the medical fee was that Yu Chi wanted, and neither Feng Wuqing nor Yu Chi mentioned it again. After breakfast, they said goodbye to Feng Wuqing and left Feng Mansion.

After strolling around Mingyue City and buying some things, Yu Chi went to the bank to get some silver and prepared to leave Mingyue City.

At the gate of Mingyue City, Yu Chi took out the envelope that Feng Wuqing had handed to him. It was a little swollen

. When he opened it, there was a letter and a pair of yin and yang brocade jade pendants. When he

unfolded the envelope, there was Feng Wuyou's neat handwriting:

Seeing the letter is like meeting you in person.

Doctor Yu Chi, when you see this letter, I have already left.

To thank you and Master Gu Jue for helping me find Ming Ze, I give you this pair of Yin Yang Jinli jade pendants.

Ming Ze carved them in his early years, and they are stained with his aura and spiritual power. They are a common wish between Ming Ze and me, hoping to bless you and Master Gu Jue with peace and safety.

Please forgive Wuyou for not being able to say goodbye in person. From now on, the road ahead is long and the mountains are high. Please take care of yourself.

Feng Wuyou.

"So the ringing in the morning was not because I was not awake, but the sound of Master Wuyou leaving?"

Yu Chi refolded the letter and put it back in the envelope. The jade pendants were a pair, and he gave one to Gu Jue.

"Maybe. Here, this is Master Wuyou's thank-you gift for you."

...

Feng Wuyou rode away from the Feng family and Mingyue City alone before dawn.

He wore the bell Mingze gave him and a pot of wine, and took nothing else.

He left Mingyue City and headed towards the rising sun.

The sound of the whistling wind and the ringing of bells echoed in his ears.

He climbed up the Solitary Moon Cliff and saw the ever-blooming white plum tree. He sat under the tree, touching the words engraved on the tree, and drinking alone.

The wine was strong and spicy. As he drank, he tasted the saltiness.

"What's your name?"

The young Wuyou spoke to Mingze for the first time in a baby voice, and was well-behaved and cute.

"Me? My name is Ze."

"Mingze?"

Mingze smiled. It was just a name, he didn't care.

"Yeah."

...

The petals of the white plum tree fell down and were carried away by the wind. Soon they were all gone, leaving only a white ruin.

Feng Wuyou fell into a hot bed, and the bell on his ankle made a muffled sound.

"Dingling."

...

Feng Wuqing sat in the front hall of the Feng family for a whole day. When the sun set in the west, he realized that his brother would not come back.

He guessed it when his brother left with a golden bell and wine.

He didn't stop him. In his eyes, his brother had always been wanton and ostentatious.

In Mingyue City, all the notices seeking medical treatment for Feng Wuyou were removed. When someone asked about it, the people of the Feng family said that it was no longer needed.

It is now August, and exactly one year has passed since last year.

Last year, their mountain god died.

This year, the child favored by the mountain god followed the mountain god.

...

Time flies like a white horse.

The weather in November has begun to get very cold, and Yu Chi Zuan Gu Jue has become more and more skilled in digging his quilt.

After all, Gu Jue was not afraid of the cold, and it was like a big heater, sleeping together to keep warm.

Gu Jue had no objection to this, and even wanted Yu Chi to come and visit more.

They passed through a small town to rest for a while. While eating, they met a young man with a calm temperament, who was out of tune with the town.

Although he was handsome, he had a murderous aura, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and the servants around him were not simple either.

Yu Chi just glanced at him twice, and the servant glared at him as a warning.

He retracted his gaze, took the wine pot on the table and poured a glass, and asked Gu Jue if he wanted to drink.

Gu Jue remembered the experience of being spicy last time, and took a glass and put it on the table.

"Have some, try it."

He didn't believe it. He couldn't finish a small glass of wine?

The young master was attracted by the servant's action and looked over here. Although it was only a side profile, he still stood up with the wine glass.

Standing in front of Yu Chi, he raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Young master, would you mind having a drink?"

Yu Chi didn't even look at him, but Gu Jue was attracted and turned his head back, with the wine glass touching his lips, but he hadn't drunk it yet.

Yu Chi pointed his finger at the bottom of the cup and raised it up, forcing Gu Jue to drink the wine.

"Why should I drink with you?"

After swallowing, Gu Jue pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled, and under Yu Chi's smiling fox eyes, he put down the wine glass and drank another glass without hesitation.

The young master was not annoyed and sat down on the empty stool next to Gu Jue.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that the young master looks familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before."

Yu Chi saw Gu Jue finish the second cup, smacked his lips, and looked at himself. He pushed the wine pot towards Gu Jue, and Gu Jue filled it up again. After

three cups of wine, he became confused, looking around and didn't know what he was looking at. Hearing the young master talking to Yu Chi, he mumbled something.

"What an old-fashioned way to pick up someone..."

"..."

"I'm not picking up someone, I have indeed seen this young master before."

Yu Chi didn't respond, and the young master was a little helpless.

"My name is Xiao Yunfeng, I came from the capital. May I ask your name, sir?"

Yu Chi ate his food leisurely, while Gu Jue drank from the wine pot beside him. He was thinking about whether to add a plate of peanuts. The little fool's eyes were red from drinking. He

didn't care much about Xiao Yunfeng's question.

"You said you have seen me, but you don't know my name?"

"To be honest, I only saw you from a distance at that time and didn't know your name."

His attendant saw him sitting here and followed him and stood behind Xiao Yunfeng.

"You remembered it after just one glance?"

"Your appearance is very impressive..."

I wanted to say that he was extremely beautiful and unforgettable, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong. Although the person opposite was a man, I always felt that saying this sounded like a pervert teasing a girl.

Yu Chi noticed his pause, chuckled, and didn't say anything else.

The servant behind Xiao Yunfeng was irritated by his attitude. In his memory, no one dared to talk to Xiao Yunfeng like this.

"You..."

He just stretched out his hand to draw the sword, and before he finished the word "you", he heard the sound of a wine pot falling to the ground and breaking. A long sword was across his neck. He was silent immediately, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

What a fast speed.

"What do you want to do...?" He

couldn't even pronounce the words clearly, but the hand holding the sword was very steady.

Xiao Yunfeng's eyes were also attracted and fell on Gu Jue's face, his eyes were full of admiration.

"Is this your bodyguard? He's so drunk but still has such a quick reaction."

Yu Chi raised his lips and raised his chin slightly towards Xiao Yunfeng.

"Amazing, right? I picked him up."
