Disc Village 5
Gu Qingqu stood in the room in panic, holding the clothes in his hands to cover his body. His joints turned white from exerting too much force. The dim oil lamp reflected his flushed face and his ears trembled slightly. The bathtub beneath him spread out like petals, and hot water flowed all over the floor. The whole room was shrouded in steaming mist. His fair and translucent skin was pink, like a fairy who had strayed into a dangerous area and was cowering in fear.
Qin Yan was stunned for a long time, until the door was suddenly knocked and Cui Chibao's worried voice came in, "Master, what happened?"
His voice was very loud, and it was particularly harsh in the silent room. Gu Qingqu trembled, and the clothes used to cover her body fell off unexpectedly. Qin Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and then he took out a blanket from the Chaos Stone Ring, threw it and wrapped Gu Qingqu in it, then walked forward and hugged her around the waist. When he lowered his eyes, he saw that the water drops hanging on Gu Qingqu's long eyelashes all fell into his eyes and flowed out from the corners of his eyes.
That strange feeling came up again, so Qin Yan simply pulled the blanket over to cover Gu Qingqu's face. After wrapping him up, he found that Gu Qingqu's legs were still dangling outside, so Qin Yan adjusted the blanket until Gu Qingqu's whole body was wrapped tightly.
Qin Yan carried Gu Qingqu to the door. Cui Chibao was sitting on the ground. Seeing the two of them coming out like this, he quickly lowered his head. Qin Yan finally knew what he was hesitating to say just now. Qin Yan was so angry that he wanted to kick him a few times again, but he gave up because he was holding the person in his arms.
Qin Yan hurriedly carried Gu Qingqu back upstairs, put Gu Qingqu on the bed, then reached out to lift the blanket off his face. Gu Qingqu's bright and wet eyes suddenly came into his sight, and Qin Yan's hand quickly retracted as if it was burned by fire. The blanket shrank down, soon revealing the smooth shoulders and neck. Qin Yan's eardrums were stimulated by a loud swallowing sound, and he quickly pulled the blanket up.
"You..." Facing Gu Qingqu's misty eyes, Qin Yan didn't know what to say. He stood up and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Gu Qingqu. Qin Yan sat back heavily on the bed.
"My hands are inconvenient, can you help me wipe the water?"
Gu Qingqu's voice was filled with pleading. Could Qin Yan refuse?
Qin Yan's hands were grabbing the blanket, and he didn't know where to wipe. He looked at Gu Qingqu, who was steaming, like a plate of freshly baked buns, and he was like a hungry beggar. He had many emotions, but he didn't know what they were. He instinctively felt danger.
Qin Yan patted the blanket gently with his hand, and stopped at his back. He handed him the clothes in a hurry and said, "I have something else to do, you can put them on yourself."
After saying this, Qin Yan ran away without waiting for Gu Qingqu to speak. When they came downstairs, Cui Chibao was washing clothes in the yard. Qin Yan walked up to him, grabbed his collar and pulled him up, and shouted in a low voice: "The bathtub is broken, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Cui Chibao quickly clarified: "It's not bad, it's just about to be bad. I was going to say it, but you, Master, didn't let me say it."
Qin Yan said: "You mean my problem?"
Cui Chibao didn't reply, but his expression clearly showed that. Qin Yan clenched his fist and was about to hit him, but Cui Chibao quickly grabbed his hand and explained anxiously: "Master, Master, listen to me, this is my brother's fault. I told my brother three years ago to ask Uncle Wang to make a new bathtub, but he dragged his feet for three years. If he hadn't dragged his feet, how could this have happened today? I'm going to find my brother now."
Before he could finish his words, Cui Chihu came in with a tray and said, "I'm back, no need to look for me."
Cui Chibao saw this and quickly pointed at Cui Chihu and said, "It's him, it's really him."
Cui Chihu was confused, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yan speechlessly let go of Cui Chibao, who hurried to help serve the dishes. Cui Chihu even asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Cui Chibao carefully looked at Qin Yan's expression and whispered to stop his brother, "Stop talking, or you'll hit me again."
When Cui Chihu heard that he was going to beat someone up, he immediately shut up. The two brothers put the food on the table. Cui Chihu said, "There's still some left. I'll go get it. You go call the master to eat."
When Cui Chibao heard that they were going to call Qin Yan, he shook his head and said, "Brother, take a rest. I'll go get it."
Cui Chihu felt sorry for his brother, so he agreed. Cui Chibao started to walk away, and Cui Chihu followed closely. "I think Xiaochun is in a trance again. Let's ask him to come and wash our clothes."
"Didn't Uncle Zhang say a few days ago that his land hadn't been plowed yet and asked Xiaochun to go plow it? How come he finished it so quickly?"
Cui Chihu replied: "Who knows? Go ask."
"OK"
The two brothers went out together. Qin Yan stood in the yard. The beautiful sunshine shone on him. He breathed a sigh of relief. The sense of crisis he felt from Gu Qingqu was completely gone. He was finally able to fully control himself again.
"Qin Yan"
Gu Qingqu's voice came from upstairs, and Qin Yan subconsciously looked up, only to see Gu Qingqu wearing a light green dress, with a smile on his face. He was standing on the balcony, and even the sunlight favored him particularly. A beam of light poured down on him, giving him a layer of beautiful gold. At that moment, all the colors in the world faded, and only he was still colorful.
Qin Yan looked up at him. Just by looking at him, he could hear the sound of his heart beating wildly, so loud that it seemed to pierce his eardrums. He could hardly hear his own voice.
"Come Down"
Gu Qingqu smiled at him and said, "Catch me."
Qin Yan didn't know what he meant, but the next second he saw Gu Qingqu climb onto the balcony and jump straight towards him. At that moment Qin Yan's heart almost stopped. He subconsciously wanted to pull the Chaos Stone Ring on his hand, but his body was faster than his mind. He flew forward and steadily caught the falling Gu Qingqu, and his hand just touched the Chaos Stone Ring.
Qin Yan was angry, "You don't want to die"
Gu Qingqu looked at him and smiled, but her voice was still aggrieved, "The stairs are too dark, I'm a little scared, there are vengeful spirits everywhere here"
Qin Yan was easily persuaded by him, "Don't do such dangerous things next time."
"yes"
Qin Yan was infected by Gu Qingqu's smile, and he also curled the corners of his mouth.
"Oh my god, it's so exciting in broad daylight."
Cui Chibao's very distinctive voice rang out. Qin Yan turned his head to look at him and saw that he was covering his eyes with his hands, but his fingers were sparsely spread out, and he was still saying, "Oh, this is too dazzling."
Qin Yan then realized that he was still hugging Gu Qingqu, and quickly let him go, "What are you doing?"
Cui Chibao laughed and said, "I'm going to Aunt Zhang's house to serve the dishes. Master and Young Master, please have dinner."
The two of them sat down, and Cui Chibao stood beside them. Qin Yan called him, "Why are you still standing?"
Cui Chibao suddenly realized, "Oh, I'll leave right away."
Qin Yan was speechless, "I told you to sit down and eat."
Happiness came too suddenly. Cui Chibao was a little bit unbelievable. "Don't you always dislike me? Why don't you really invite me to have dinner with you?"
Qin Yan was even more speechless, "Eat if you want, get lost if you don't want."
"I don't want to leave. Can I go?" Cui Chibao bargained with him. Gu Qingqu wanted to shake his head after hearing this, and said, "Sit down and eat together."
Cui Chibao could not refuse anymore, so he could only tell the truth, "I want to go to Aunt Zhang's house to eat."
Qin Yan looked at him, and Cui Chibao explained: "Aunt Zhang said she was uncomfortable having dinner with you. And Xiaochun is missing. I'm going to go find Xiaochun after dinner."
Qin Yan didn't want to talk anymore and just made a gesture to him. Cui Chibao ran away quickly as if relieved.
Cui Chibao ran very fast and disappeared in a flash. Gu Qingqu looked at his back and joked, "It seems like we have become bandits."
Qin Yan replied: "There are no such good-looking bandits."
"Too"
The food was not rich, just some home-cooked dishes, but it tasted good. Gu Qingqu frowned slightly after taking a bite. Qin Yan thought something was wrong, "It doesn't taste good?"
Gu Qingqu took another bite and said, "This is the taste of the capital."
Qin Yan also tasted it. It was indeed completely different from what he had eaten in Dawan Village, but not much different from what he had eaten in the palace. "This is the chef we invited from the capital."
Gu Qingqu looked outside and thought, "Something is not right"
"Um?"
Gu Qingqu said: "After dinner, let's go out for a walk. I can't say for sure now."
"OK"
After the meal, both of them were full. Qin Yan didn't sleep last night, so he felt a little sleepy after eating. But thinking of Gu Qingqu saying that he wanted to go out for a walk, he tried not to yawn. But Gu Qingqu saw it and said, "Take a nap first."
Qin Yan said: "No, I'm not sleepy at all, I'll go out and digest my food."
"OK"
The two went out together. The sun was very strong. It was the first time that Gu Qingqu did not pull Qin Yan. Qin Yan actually felt a little uncomfortable.
The two of them walked slowly in the village. Everyone was having lunch at this time, so there were not many people on the road. The village was quite small and could be seen at a glance. All the houses were almost carved out of the same mold, with crooked earthen walls. Some had second floors and some did not.
Qin Yan didn't see anything wrong. He looked at Gu Qingqu and saw that Gu Qingqu was looking at it seriously, so he asked, "Did you see it?"
Gu Qingqu nodded, "I can see that they must have fled here."
"Can you see that?" Qin Yan went to look again, but no matter how hard he looked he could not see any signs of fleeing. There were still peach trees planted in the village, and they were blooming at this time of year, all pink.
Gu Qingqu said: "The tribesmen who committed serious crimes and were exiled would bribe the officers and soldiers, and then hide in the deep mountains and forests."
Qin Yan was even more surprised, "You can see this?"
Gu Qingqu looked at his surprised expression and smiled, "Isn't this obvious?"
"Is this..obvious?"
Gu Qingqu laughed even more exaggeratedly, "Of course it's obvious."
If Qin Yan still couldn't tell that Gu Qingqu was teasing him, then he was a fool. He reached out and flicked Gu Qingqu's forehead. Gu Qingqu shrank back in pain, then glared at him. Qin Yan pretended to be angry, "Great, you've grown wings and dared to glare at me?"
Gu Qingqu smiled and stretched out his hand to hold his arm, "Master"
Qin Yan couldn't help laughing, but then he stopped laughing and whispered in her ear, "Since he's a serious criminal, let's get out of here as soon as possible."
