Chapter 93 Persimmon

Mu Bailinfeng was unconscious, and Yu Chi expected him to wake up at night. Since they had decided to save him, they could not just leave him here.

Yu Chi was unwilling to carry him all the way. He

was even more unwilling to let Gu Jue carry him.

Mu Bailinfeng was tall and strong, so they could only hold one of his hands and drag him along.

Gu Jue glanced at Mu Bailinfeng and spoke hesitantly.

"Is his butt okay?"

Yu Chi waved his hand nonchalantly.

"It's okay, it will hurt for two days, but he won't die."

Gu Jue said "tsk". He felt pain just looking at the ground where his butt was rubbing against, and the gravel and mud stuck to his clothes.

They found a resident nearby and knocked on the door.

An old man opened the door, hunched over, and asked them what they wanted.

Gu Jue pointed at the hand that was dragging Mu Bailinfeng.

"Old man, one of our friends is injured and cannot travel far. May I ask if we can stay at your house for a while?"

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a weight on his hand. He tilted his head and saw that Yu Chi had loosened his hand.

The old man thought that they did not look like friends. Instead, they

looked like murderers hiding corpses.

However, the young man who was talking to him did look very friendly, but the other one looked very creepy.

Especially those red eyes.

In the end, the old man still stepped aside to let them in. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

The old man opened a door and let them in.

The room was very tidy, with a dusty wood smell. Gu Jue put Mu Bailinfeng on the bed and turned to look at Yu Chi who was leaning against the door.

"What should we do now?"

Yu Chi crossed his arms, walked to Gu Jue's side, and looked down at Mu Bailinfeng on the bed.

"Strip him off."

"Oh~"

Gu Jue heard what Yu Chi said, grabbed Mu Bailinfeng's clothes, and stripped him down to only his underwear.

Yu Chi's eyebrows jumped.

"Get a basin of water."

Gu Jue turned around and went out. The old man sat on a chair in front of the door, looking at the sky. When Gu Jue asked him, he got up and took Gu Jue to get a basin and fetch water.

After delivering the basin of water to Yu Chi, Gu Jue came out. The old man sat back on the chair. Seeing Gu Jue come out, he pointed to the small stool beside him.

"Sit down, child."

"Thank you."

Gu Jue was tall and had long legs. He sat on the small stool with his legs bent, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The old man laughed when he saw him like this.

"My grandson was the same as you when he sat on this small stool."

His eyebrows were slightly drooped, with a nostalgic smile on his face, which reminded Gu Jue of Grandma Yu, the old man who was always gentle and kind.

It's a pity that Grandma Yu has passed away.

Gu Jue asked him.

"What about your grandson?"

Since they entered the room, there was only this old man in the room, and no one else was seen.

Gu Jue caught a glimpse of a red color in the corner of the wall, and he raised his hand to pick it up.

It was a persimmon-shaped hair accessory, which looked like something for a girl.

"He, is no longer here."

The old man sighed, looking a little sad, and lowered his eyes that were full of vicissitudes of life.

A hair accessory was handed to him by Gu Jue.

Gu Jue pursed his lips when he heard the old man's words, as if he had accidentally touched the old man's sore spot.

He felt a little guilty.

The old man took the red persimmon hair accessory from his hand, which was tied with a red ribbon and hung with a pompom.

"This belongs to the girl Sui. I've told you many times, but you still forget things and don't change at all."

He touched the persimmon decoration on the hair accessory with his trembling hand.

Gu Jue's eyes moved from the hair ornament in his hand to the yard.

There was a big persimmon tree in the yard. Many leaves had fallen, but the tree was full of red persimmons, which were very pleasing to the eye.

The old man took the hair ornament, walked to the persimmon tree, hung it on the tree, and picked a ripe persimmon from it.

He gave it to Gu Jue.

"Child, come and try it."

Gu Jue took it with a smile, and under the old man's expectant gaze, he tore open the skin of the persimmon and took a bite. It was

very soft and sweet.

His eyes lit up, it was delicious.

When the old man saw his appearance, the smile on his face deepened.

"You look a lot like my grandson."

"Really? How are they alike?"

The old man narrowed his eyes.

"They both have a bit of silly energy."

Gu Jue was confused.

"Ah?"

Facing the old man's face, Gu Jue did not refute, but agreed with the old man and smiled.

This small house has only two rooms. The old man wanted to give his room to Yu Chi and Gu Jue, and he would sleep in the kitchen. He

was rejected by Yu Chi and Gu Jue.

"I'm a doctor, I have to stay here, old man, it's late at night, you should go to rest."

"Yes, you should go back and rest, don't worry about us."

The old man was still a little hesitant, looking at Gu Jue. He really liked this child when he chatted with Gu Jue in the afternoon.

His hair was half white, and everyone in this room was a child in his eyes.

Gu Jue helped him back to the room, let him go to bed, tucked in the corners of the quilt for him, blew out the candles in the room, checked whether the windows were closed, and then went out.

He returned to the room where Mu Bailinfeng was placed. Yu Chi was standing by the window. From this window, one could just see the persimmon tree in the yard.

Gu Jue walked to Yu Chi and stood still.

Yu Chi looked back, stretched out a finger, and poked Gu Jue's face.

Gu Jue looked at him, and in the light of the candle, the blurry shadow of Yu Chi was reflected in his clear eyes.

He told Yu Chi about what happened in the afternoon.

The old man's surname was Ye. His son joined the army and died on the battlefield. His daughter-in-law died of depression, leaving only a grandson for him.

It was like a thought.

But later, the grandson also joined the army.

The persimmon tree in the yard in front of the door was planted by Old Man Ye because his grandson liked to eat persimmons.

"The old man's grandson is called Ye Annian, and he is now stationed at Yuque Pass."

"Xiao Yunfeng's soldier."

Old man Ye said that his grandson was no longer here, and it was very likely that he was on the battlefield...

Yuque Pass faced the barbarians directly, and it was the most dangerous.

They had met Xiao Yunfeng before. He was a very good general and was also very kind to his soldiers.

It was just that they did not expect that they would still be thinking about things related to Xiao Yunfeng here now.

There were a few noises coming from the window, and someone opened a crack from the outside, and a head poked in. Yu Chi and Gu Jue lowered their eyes to look.

It was a girl, who was quirky and stared at them.

"Who are you and why are you in Ye Annian's house?"

Gu Jue saw clearly that she had a beautiful persimmon-shaped hair accessory on her head.

"Are you Miss Ning Sui?"

"Do you know me?"

Ning Sui's eyes fell on Gu Jue. This man was very good-looking, handsome, with beautiful eyes and clean.

"Old Man Ye mentioned you."

"Oh..."

Listening to Gu Jue's answer, she was a little depressed. Seeing that the lights were on in the room, she thought that Ye Annian had returned.

"Hey!"

Ning Sui suddenly shouted in surprise. There was a sound of a sword breaking through the air. Yu Chi did not change his expression, and did not even turn his head, but tilted his head.

The sword passed through his face, cut off a strand of hair by his ear, and went straight forward, piercing the window. Ning Sui was so scared that he fell back and sat on the ground.

The window was also affected by the sword light and almost fell apart.

With a gloomy expression, Gu Jue grabbed the hand holding the sword and pushed back hard. The person behind him was thrown away and hit the wall behind him, spitting out blood.

He raised his hand to protect Yu Chi, who was still smiling on his face, and looked coldly at the person who fell from the wall to the ground.

In his hand, he was still twisting the strand of hair that had been shaved off by Yu Chi.

Bad tone.

"How dare you touch him."

Mu Bai Linfeng covered his chest and kept coughing, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

But he clearly felt something, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Jue who was blocking Yu Chi.

"You protect him, you protect a person."

These words were very strange, and the atmosphere in front of him was also very strange.

Yu Chi hugged Gu Jue's waist and asked him in his ear.

"Tell me, does he look like a wife who is angry and wants to catch her husband cheating on her? Do I look like a lover who is being protected by you?"

"

What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Jue got goosebumps all over his body at Yu Chi's words. What the hell is going on?

However, facing Gu Jue's words "You dare to touch him" and Mu Bailinfeng's words "You protect him", the smell came up immediately.

Ning Sui felt that his buttocks didn't hurt anymore after falling. It was so exciting.

Gu Jue opened his mouth and said to Mu Bailinfeng.

"I, I don't protect him, but do I protect you?"

Ning Sui wowed as soon as these words came out, and Gu Jue heard the people around him chuckle.

The smell has been corrected.
