Chapter 55 When was it discovered?
-
The two drove the carriage towards the psychedelic forest for two whole days.
Maybe it was because the road was too bumpy, Nangong Youqing was in a drowsy state most of the time during the past two days.
Except for resting and eating during the journey, she did not even leave the carriage, curled up on the soft couch looking half dead.
At the beginning, Gu Jinli would lift the curtain and ask, but later on she got used to it.
That evening, the two stopped by the road and decided to stay there tonight.
It was February's weather. It was fine when the sun was shining during the day, but it was extremely cold at night.
Even if there is a carriage, it cannot withstand the cold wind blowing from all directions.
"You have a fever. Let me make you some medicine~"
Gu Jinli found some dry branches and lit them. She sat next to the fire with the carriage behind her.
She had just gone up to check and found that Nangong Youqing, who was lying inside, seemed to have a fever.
His body temperature was burning, his cheeks were flushed, and he felt very weak.
Fortunately, the storage bag she carried was big enough, so Gu Jinli took everything she could. There was also a fire, so she could cook the medicine.
"I don't want to drink."
Nangong Youqing was also very surprised. Logically speaking, she had not been sick for many years and her physical condition should be the same as that of an ordinary person.
I haven't been outside to get some fresh air for the past two days, so how come I'm sick again?
"You won't get better if you don't drink."
After taking out the medicine jar and medicine bag, Gu Jinli found a few stones nearby and built a simple stove, then started cooking.
A quarter of an hour later.
The smell of medicine wafting around was already extremely strong; the time must be about right.
Gu Jinli put the medicine jar aside to dry, and took advantage of the good fire to roast some sweet potatoes for herself.
We have been sleeping outdoors for the past two days and have only eaten food that was packed in advance. It's time to eat something fresh.
On a cold night like this, just thinking about eating hot sweet potatoes makes me drool.
…
Watching the person in the car finish drinking the medicine, Gu Jinli took a piece of sweet potato and stuffed it directly into the other person's arms.
"Warm your hands, and go to sleep after you finish eating!"
After saying that, she took out the quilt and covered Nangong Youqing with it.
"I don't know why, but I feel like this illness is different from the previous ones."
Nangong Youqing leaned limply in the carriage, looking pale, and said in a bad state: "Although I still have fever and chills, my body aches a lot, and I have hallucinations..."
If the pain in the body is caused by fever, then the hallucinations can't be caused by fever as well, right?
It's not like she hasn't been sick before, but this is the first time she's had hallucinations.
"Stop imagining that."
Reaching out to put a pillow behind her, Gu Jinli said casually: "Have a good sleep after dinner, and you will feel better tomorrow."
"I hope so."
Holding the hot sweet potato, Nangong Youqing was a little unhappy: "This is completely different from what I imagined."
Although she was prepared for the possibility of getting sick, they had only been on the journey for two days.
I didn’t have time to see the scenery along the way.
"Find a place to rest tomorrow."
Perhaps seeing her disappointment, Gu Jinli opened the curtain and walked out, saying in a friendly manner: "Wait until you feel better before leaving. We should also have a good meal."
…
…
Since Nangong Youqing was sick, Gu Jinli had to stop and find a relatively flat forest nearby to set up camp.
This suspension lasted for several days, and Nangong Youqing's condition not only did not improve, but became more and more serious.
In addition to the high fever and body aches, she also had a lot of dense rashes all over her body, which looked very scary at first glance.
Nangong Youqing's consciousness became increasingly blurred. Not only was she talking nonsense to herself, she was also having trouble recognizing who was in front of her.
"Are you okay?"
At this time, the two were staying under a tree in the forest. Gu Jinli stood condescendingly beside Nangong Youqing, holding a dark medicine in his hand and advising: "It's very cold outside, why don't you go back to the carriage~"
In the afternoon, the man who had been hiding in the carriage suddenly ran out.
She ran a few steps with her feet floating in the air, then hugged the tree and started talking nonsense.
Gu Jinli had to use great effort to pull the man down from the tree.
"No, I won't leave."
Although he was not hugging the tree, he was holding a small bundle in his arms.
This was something Gu Jinli had just stuffed into her hands, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to pull the person down from the tree.
"I want to be with her."
There was an unnatural flush on his face, his tone was childish, and his dull look showed that he was not in his right mind.
“…”
Finished.
This guy seems really stupid.
Patting his forehead speechlessly, Gu Jinli looked at the medicine in his hand and seriously suspected that the dosage he had given was too high.
Yes.
Gu Jinli has been secretly drugging Nangong Youqing recently.
Ever since she discovered that the man was suspected to be ill, she would mix something else into every dose of medicine.
As if to make up for all the losses he had suffered before, Gu Jinli made a lot of small moves and was not polite at all.
It's ok now.
It has only been over a week since he left the mansion, but judging from his appearance, he seems to have lost his mind.
Is it because of those medicines?
Gu Jinli wasn't sure, but she suspected that the other party was acting.
"Hello."
I kind of want to test whether the other party is pretending.
Gu Jinli stretched out her foot and kicked without any hesitation.
"Stop pretending."
Shaking the medicine in her hand, she said calmly, "If you continue like this, I'll leave."
"No, I'm not leaving."
Holding the bag tightly, Nangong Youqing sat on the ground with a dazed look in her eyes, looking more annoying than a three-year-old child.
"OK."
Even at this point, the acting is still so superb.
Gu Jinli was a little amazed.
But since this person has gone 'crazy', I have no choice but to give him up with reluctance.
She took back the carefully prepared medicine in her hand, turned around and left as if she had figured something out.
In a short while, she had almost finished cleaning up.
After all, he was not a cruel person. After counting the things in the carriage, Gu Jinli did not forget to turn around and persuade Nangong Youqing to go up.
Now that it's getting dark and the temperature is dropping, we can't stay outside all the time.
The other party is still a 'patient'.
After dealing with Nangong Youqing and confirming that she was asleep, Gu Jinli turned around and left without any reluctance.
It's time to end this game. She is tired of acting with the other person every day.
…
…
We set out from the city in a horse-drawn carriage and did not stop along the way.
Now the carriage was left to that person, and Gu Jinli had to go back by herself.
Fortunately, although she didn't have a carriage, she had many magic weapons on her, and she could take out any one of them and get back quickly.
So one night later, Gu Jinli hurried back to her familiar mansion as soon as possible, following the flow of people following the open city gates.
As soon as she returned home, she immediately washed up and lay down nicely.
She hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time since she accompanied that man in the open air.
…
Maybe it was because I returned to a familiar place, or maybe it was because I was too tired.
Gu Jinli slept until the afternoon and didn’t even have a dream.
But when she woke up, everything changed.
The first thing she noticed was that there was an extra person in the room, and that person was sleeping next to her, staring at her without blinking.
"You!" Gu Jinli was startled.
"Ari is awake~"
Lying beside her with his head propped up, Nangong Youqing said with a smile: "You slept for a long time! Why didn't you bring me with you when you came back alone?"
The tone of the last question was relatively calm, but it gave people an inexplicably chilly feeling.
Gu Jinli swallowed subconsciously and planned to sit up on the bed before talking.
The posture they were in was a little strange and she was not used to it.
"Why aren't you talking, Ari?"
Seeing that the person inside was trying to sit up, Nangong Youqing didn't even bother pretending and raised her hand to push the person down again.
She just stretched out one arm, but the force that fell on her body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"Do you really have to do this?"
Helplessly being pushed back onto the bed, Gu Jinli looked at the redwood bed beams above her and said helplessly, "There's no need to be so angry! Look, you're back, aren't you?"
She paused here and said earnestly: "I just believe in you."
The only thing missing is "I knew it all along" written on his face.
Ever since Gu Jinli opened her eyes and saw Nangong Youqing, she knew that this person was not going to pretend anymore.
"When did Ari find out?"
After a moment of silence, Nangong Youqing was the first to get up.
She was lying on the outer side of the bed, which was not very big. When she moved, Gu Jinli was forced to move closer.
“I knew it from the beginning.”
Following the man's force, Gu Jinli squeezed inward. Seeing that man sitting up, she also sat up.
This time, Nangong Youqing did not stop her. Instead, she stared at her coldly and asked, "What do you mean?"
If you knew it from the beginning, why did you expose her only now?
"Are you wondering why I didn't expose you?"
Gu Jinli understood the man's meaning immediately. Facing the man's cold eyes, she grinned and said, "Why should I expose you?"
"What fun is there in exposing you so early?!"
When this person first moved in, she had her doubts, but after trying a few times she found nothing.
But from the day Nangong Youqing insisted on living with her, Gu Jinli was almost certain.
Although I don't know what method this guy used, he changed his skin and grew up a few years inexplicably. He can even recognize words and write well.
But that feeling of disharmony has never disappeared, and Gu Jinli has had enough fun over the years.
“…”
Nangong Youqing, oh no, Chen Chigui understood in an instant that this person had been thinking of watching the fun from the very beginning.
She didn't even show it at all, and watched the play she had been acting for nine years.
Thinking of this, Shen Chigui suddenly laughed out of anger.
"It seems that my sister really likes me."
As if she was certain of something, her expression suddenly relaxed.
After all, for Chen Chigui, it doesn’t matter how he is viewed; what matters is the actual benefits he gets.
Although I have been watched for the past nine years, so what? This person has also been with me for nine years.
"Perhaps."
Gu Jinli was a little surprised that he was not angry at all.
It seems that these nine years of "Ennai" have mellowed this man's character.
Too.
Even she herself didn't expect that she could endure someone lying to her for so long.
