Mountain and River Pillow: Chapter 144

Chu Yu said, let go of the whip, Gu Chusheng fell to the ground, she jumped from the height, and took the whip to her waist: "Why are you here?"

Gu Chusheng's face was pale, Chu Yu half squatted down, looked at him covering her knees, and said worriedly: "Where is the injury?"

"Calves."

Gu Chusheng took a breath and said, "Let's go first, it's dangerous here."

Chu Yu responded, carried the person on her back, and hurried to the open place.

Chu Yu's actions were vigorous and powerful, and Gu Chusheng felt relieved, knowing that this person should be fine. Chu Yu carried him to the river in the distance, and said at the same time, "Aren't you supposed to be in Yuancheng for disaster relief? What are you doing here?"

"Wei Qingping came to me and said something happened to you." Gu Chusheng's voice was calm, and he could not hear the impact of the injury on him. He was just a little strange: "Why are you here?"

There was no way, I grabbed the vine and jumped and climbed down."

Gu Chusheng listened, a little tired and replied: "You'll be fine."

These words made Chu Yu unable to answer. She was silent for a long time before finally saying: "Actually, you don't have to come to me in person. If something happens to you, who will handle the disaster relief later?"

"You can still worry about these things at this time," Gu Chusheng sneered: "The madam really serves the country and the people."

Chu Yu calmed down, Gu Chusheng said this, and he regretted it a little. He leaned on Chu Yu's back tiredly, and after a long time, he spoke again: "I heard that you left the Wei residence."

"Hmm."

Chu Yu responded and came to the edge of the water source, she put him down, and then said: "I'll find a branch to fix your feet first, are you hungry, I'll catch a fish give you to eat?"

Gu Chusheng lowered his head and did not speak, Chu Yu raised his eyes and glanced around, and then said: "Then let's arrange it like this, after eating, I will carry you to the direction of the water source and walk for a while. You should see the village."

Speaking, Chu Yu went to look for the branch, she came back with the branch, slit his trouser leg with a dagger, looked at his injury, lowered her head and fixed it with a branch.

Gu Chusheng watched quietly. During the whole process, Chu Yu's expression was magnanimous, neither narrow nor warm, she seemed to be facing an ordinary friend who was injured , she helps him, that's all.

"Don't you hate me?"

The first time we met after a long time apart, he finally asked her this question, Chu Yu was stunned, and after a while, she lowered her eyes: "When I was first born, I always thought, if one day If I see you again, I will kill you."

"Then why not kill?"

Gu Chusheng clenched his fists, Chu Yu tied the branch with his belt, thought about it, and finally said: "Because you don't want to kill it."

"I wanted to kill you because at that time I felt that I was hurt a lot because of you, and I felt sad. I killed you to vent my anger." Chu Yu laughed, as if joking: " But now my heart is full and I don't feel sad anymore. Gu Chusheng, actually think about it carefully, if I didn't like you back then, you would not be a bad person. Although there are some mistakes, you are also a good person. "

Speaking, Chu Yu stood up and walked to the river: "I'm going to catch fish."

Gu Chusheng didn't speak, his eyes fell on her, and he watched her walk aside, using a dagger to sharpen the branch into a harpoon. He looked at her quietly, and suddenly realized that she really went out.

In this relationship, she has escaped cleanly, not even resentment is left, there seems to be no connection between her and him, but he stays in place alone, Cocooning yourself.

Chu Yu caught the fish and cooked it for him. Gu Chusheng watched silently without saying a word.

After the fish was cooked, Chu Yu handed it to him, raised her eyes and said, "How are you doing after I die?"

Gu Chusheng's hand holding the harpoon trembled slightly, then lowered his eyes, and laughed a little mockingly: "If I had a good time, would I be here again?"

Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, but then smiled: "How did you come here?"

"After being killed by Wei Yun, you will be sixteen when you open your eyes."

Gu Chusheng's voice was flat, but Chu Yu was curious: "Were you killed by Wei Yun?"

"Well." Gu Chusheng never felt unbearable: "After you died, I lived for another 30 years, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore, and I don't know the meaning of life, the emperor is stupid, Wei Yun Intention to rebel, I will protect Your Majesty and kill him."

Gu Chusheng tried to protect the emperor and died, Chu Yu didn't find it strange that their Gu family had always been loyal to the royal family. Although Gu Chusheng is different from the Gu family, he is still an authentic royalist at heart.

Chu Yu frowned: "Then now, are you going to turn against Zhao Yue again?"

Gu Chusheng didn't speak, he looked at the jumping fire with an indifferent expression.

"Ayu, my loyalty is not without limits."

"Also, for the imperial court, for their royal family, I have worked hard all my life," he looked up at her: "When I came back from my rebirth, I thought, in this life, I am only for you. "

Chu Yu was stunned, and after a while, she lowered her eyes and turned the fish that was still roasting in her hands, after a long time, she finally said: "Chu Sheng, people are never for anyone in their life. , but for myself."

"You live," she looked up at him: "You should learn to live for yourself."

"A person wants something, but also has its responsibility. You take your own responsibility, you don't hurt others, after doing the above two points, you can ask for what you want. Do what you like , what to do."

"I like you."

Gu Chusheng looked at her persistently: "Then what should I do?"

Chu Yu heard this and looked up at him: "Then you like it. But you must know that this liking will not change anything. You are still Gu Chusheng, your dream, your responsibility, What you do and what you don't do will not change because of me. Liking is a very pure thing, I don't mind if you like me, Gu Chusheng, but you have to understand that this liking should be placed within your limits. , I won't respond to you, you can't force it. And you won't change your life for me, you're still you."

"What's a liking then?"

"Do you know why I left Weifu?"

"Why?"

"Because Chu Yuzhi is not in the back house, he will not bow his head to anyone. I like Wei Yun is not wrong, but I will not change anything for him and make compromises. Gu Chusheng, who do you like, no Who I like has nothing to do with me," Chu Yu smiled: "But, after knowing each other for so many years, I hope you have a good life."

Gu Chusheng didn't speak, he looked at Chu Yu, but after a long time, he just said: "But I want nothing but you."

Chu Yu smiled: "In the future, you can tell me this again."

Speaking, she stood up, carried Gu Chusheng on her back, and said lightly: "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Gu Chusheng leaned on her back, he listened to her heartbeat, and remembered how many times she carried him like this when she was young.

Back then when he was the county magistrate in Kunyang, he made too many enemies and was chased and killed several times. He was injured, and it was Chu Yu who carried him on his back, and scolded him all the way. Call him trouble, call him trouble yourself.

At that time, no matter how she scolds, when he is carried by her, he will know and be safe.

Chu Yu will never betray him or leave him.

However, now that she is carrying him behind her back, she will not scold him. Gu Chusheng squeezed his fist involuntarily, and finally said, "Ayu, please say something."

"What happened in my last life after I died?"

Chu Yu said casually: "Has it changed much from now?"

"It's not too big," Gu Chusheng closed his eyes: "Beidi was beaten by Wei Yun to exterminate his clan, he went all the way west, established a new country, and later joined the Chen country and fought back. When things happen, there is a rebellion, the country has been fighting back and forth, and it has never stopped.”

"Actually, Da Chu was already weak. If it wasn't for Wei Yun's perseverance, it would have ended long ago."

"Later, I assisted the young emperor to ascend the throne. He and I were regents, and finally settled down for a few years, but the young emperor grew up quickly and was instigated by the eunuchs to be in power. After Wei Yun returned the power, the little emperor It started to die. The country that finally stabilized was turbulent again, so Wei Yun made a move."

Gu Chusheng slowly talked about his past life, and Chu Yu listened.

When the two went down the river, Wei Yun also arrived at Qingshui Town.

The town of Qingshui has long been buried by the mud, and there is no trace of any living person at all.

This can't be saved, can it?

Wei Xia didn't say anything, but everyone understood what he meant.

Wei Yun looked at the valley quietly, but said, "She is alive."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and immediately looked for the heights. Wei Qiu said anxiously: "My lord! Where are you going and what are you doing?"

Wei Yun didn't answer, he ran all the way to the top of the mountain, carefully surveyed the messy footprints, and finally came to the place where Gu Chusheng fell off the cliff.

He glanced at the broken branches below the cliff, turned his head and said with Wei Xia: "Wei Qiu, you bring the hound here to find someone, if there is another aftershock, hurry away. People go to find where the exit under this cliff will be, and wait for me at the exit."

"Waiting for you?"

Wei Xia was stunned for a while, then he heard Wei Yun say: "Find the rope, I'll go down and have a look."

"My lord, let me go." Wei Qiu hurriedly said, Wei Yun looked up at him, Wei Qiu understood what he meant, frowned, but did not dare to speak.

Wei Yun waited for someone to bring the rope over, tied the rope to himself, and tied it to a nearby tree, then climbed down the cliff.

There are vines on the cliff, he grabbed the vines and stones, and quickly fell down with light effort. In less than a quarter of an hour, he reached the bottom of the cliff, and the first thing he saw was the traces that Chu Yujian had carved out on the cliff. He restrained his excitement, and when he reached the bottom of the cliff, he followed the footsteps to find it. After driving for about half a day, he finally saw a figure behind his back, who seemed to be carrying a person on his back, saying something. Wei Yun called out, "Ayu!"

Chu Yu paused, turned around, and saw Wei Yun standing in front of her.

His clothes were in tatters, and there were leaves on his cloak.

When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with joy, Chu Yu smiled lightly, and said gently: "Why are you here?"

Speaking, she put down Gu Chusheng, straightened up, looked at Wei Yun and said, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, the young man strode forward and suddenly hugged him into his arms.

He didn't speak, but he held her so tightly, so hard, as if he would lose it when he let go. Chu Yu was in his arms, and after a long time, she finally raised her hand, stroked his back, and said softly, "I'm fine."

Wei Yun said nothing, Chu Yu repeated: "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't be afraid."

Wei Yun stopped shaking and slowly let go of her under her repeated comfort.

He looked at her up and down, and after a long time, he was relieved, he seemed to want to say something, and finally turned to look at Gu Chusheng, a little surprised: "Master Gu?"

Gu Chusheng was sitting on the ground, he closed his eyes, when he heard Wei Yun calling him, he slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Master Wei."

Wei Yun wanted to ask him why he was here, but he reacted before exiting.

Gu Chusheng personally went to Yuancheng for disaster relief, and he came all the way in Huicheng, let alone Gu Chusheng in Yuancheng?

Wei Yun pursed his lips and finally said, "I'll go back with Mr. Gu on my back."

Gu Chusheng did not answer, Wei Yun walked up, carried Gu Chusheng on his back, turned his head and said to Chu Yu: "Wei Xia is waiting for us outside, let's go."

Chu Yu smiled, she followed Wei Yun, and the smile on her lips couldn't hold back: "Are you from Huicheng?"

"Well." Wei Yun smiled bitterly: "I came here when I heard you had an accident."

"Huicheng okay?"

"It's okay," Wei Yun said truthfully, "Everything is prepared in advance, and the casualties are not too big."

Just ordinary words, two people talking, I don't know why, they feel happy. Chu Yu suddenly remembered: "Why did Master Gu come to relieve the disaster in person?"

Hearing Chu Yu ask him, Gu Chusheng opened his eyes and said calmly: "I'm afraid that if I don't come in person, the people below will not obey. And if Zhao Yue knew about the disaster, I was afraid that in order to force you to refuse to provide disaster relief, So I brought food in advance."

"You brought food?"

Chu Yu exclaimed in surprise, Gu Chusheng nodded and said, "I brought over the rations for Yao Yong."

"Then what do you do?" Wei Yun frowned: "If you do this, Zhao Yue will not let you go."

"What can he do to me?" Gu Chusheng sneered: "Can't you kill me? I **** military rations and rescue disasters halfway, what am I wrong?"

"Not really..." Chu Yu was a little worried: "But Zhao Yue will be wary of you in the future."

"He won't watch me now?"

Gu Chusheng's voice was indifferent: "Who else has he trusted in this life?"

Wei Yun and Chu Yu were speechless for a while, Gu Chusheng closed his eyes and continued: "He only believes in interests."

"Okay, don't overthink it."

Chu Yu sighed: "You rest first."

Gu Chusheng pursed his lips, but did not speak, Wei Yun carried him behind his back, afraid of disturbing him, so he did not talk to Chu Yu much, and walked out quietly.

The road was longer than expected, and when we got to dusk, I didn't see Wei Xia, but saw a thatched cottage in the distance, Wei Yun looked at the sky and said with Chu Yu: "I'm afraid It's raining, let's rest first."

Chu Yu nodded and walked in with Wei Yun. The three of them knocked on the door, but an old man opened the door.

The old man had white hair and looked like he was in his 80s or 90s. Wei Yun respectfully said his intentions, and gave the old man the silver. The old man glanced at the silver, shook his head and said, "Come in. Well, just help me make a meal."

The three thanked them repeatedly and entered the hut.

The old man was stooped, Wei Yun went to the room to cook, Chu Yu placed Gu Chusheng and sat and chatted with the old man.

The house is not big, and the voice of the old man can be heard clearly in the kitchen.

"My surname is Li and my name is Li Mou. I used to farm on the outskirts of Yuancheng. I have three sons, eight grandsons, and a great-grandson. I'm old and can't remember exactly."

"What about them?" Chu Yu was curious, the old man sighed lightly, but did not speak. Gu Chusheng frowned: "Could it be that they abandoned you? Ben... I'll go find them, and I must deal with them according to the law!"

"Abandoned?" Li Mou was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand: "No no, I am not abandoned, I came out voluntarily."

"I have lived too long," Li Mou sighed: "I have eight grandchildren, five of whom have been enlisted in the army. After saying that they are going to stay with us, the great-grandchildren have all gone, and there are only a few left at home. Women and old people. My son is in his 60s and he has no energy. What am I doing at home? The taxes are heavy, the wars are fought every day, and the family can’t eat enough, so what should I do for an old man?”

"I don't want to trouble them," Li Mou smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I have no regrets when I die, so I came here by myself. I don't know who owns this house, I occupied it myself, I was still doing activities, and there were some vegetables planted outside, and I waited every day for when I would die, but I waited and waited, and I didn’t die.”

"Aren't they coming to see you?" Gu Chusheng frowned, Li Mou was stunned, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "What are you looking at? As soon as I don't come, I'm still sad. It's better not to come, even if one day I can't come," the old man sighed, "I don't feel sad."

Listening to this, Wei Yun stopped cooking in the kitchen. He looked at the gloomy sky outside and did not move for a long time.

Gu Chusheng and Chu Yu also fell silent. But the old man laughed: "You young people, frowning when something is a big deal. It's not a big deal," Li Mou patted Gu Chusheng on the shoulder, stood up and said, "Besides life and death, there is no big deal. It is life and death, and in this world, there is no trace."

These words did not comfort the three of them. During the meal, everyone was silent.

There was fish caught by Chu Yu in this meal. The old man was so happy that he said that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Wei Yun and Chu Yu went to the lobby, put their coats on the floor, and fell asleep.

It was a little cold at night, Wei Yun gave Chu Yu the cloak and took her in his arms.

When the two were about to fall asleep, Wei Yun suddenly said, "I hope this battle will be fought faster."

Chu Yu did not speak, she stretched out her hand and took the person in her arms.

Wei Yun lowered his voice and said seriously: "I hope this battle will end soon, I hope there will be a stable court, I don't care who is the emperor, I just hope he can be safe and sound I hope that all the people in this world have food to eat. I hope that the old man's children are all there. I hope they can pick him up and not let him choose to come to the mountains because of lack of food. They can meet every day they want, Don't worry about not seeing it one day."

"I hope they are fine," Wei Yun hugged Chu Yu tightly: "We are fine too."

"Soon."

Chu Yu closed her eyes, she gave him warmth: "Xiao Qi, it's time."

After a night of rest, the three of them set off again in the morning the next morning. Gu Chusheng refused again and again, but the old man still handed it over to him, and said happily: "Young master, you go back to Changle Village near Yuancheng, find the householder named Li Le, and tell them, I'm fine, let them Don't worry, eh?"

Gu Chusheng hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Old man, don't worry, I will make sure that your family has enough food, and then I will let them pick you up."

"No need," Li Mou sighed: "This emperor is not good, I will take it back, and I will have to walk back by myself soon. Young master," Li Mou patted Gu Chusheng's hand and said earnestly. : "Take care in troubled times."

Gu Chusheng didn't speak, he held the side dish in his hand and suddenly felt that it weighed ten thousand pounds.

Wei Yun carried Gu Chusheng on his back and walked with Chu Yu for a long time, when he suddenly heard a voice, Wei Yun raised his head and saw Wei Xia and others coming on horses.

Wei Yun breathed a sigh of relief, Wei Xia rushed over and said anxiously, "Your Highness, are you all right?"

"It's all right."

Wei Yun shook his head, turned around and said, "Is there a carriage? Mr. Gu is injured, I'm afraid he won't be able to ride a horse."

"Yes." Wei Xia hurried over and asked Shen Wushuang to come forward. After seeing Gu Chusheng, he was carried on the carriage.

After Gu Chusheng got on the carriage, Wei Yun and Wei Xia confirmed the situation, and then went forward to Yuancheng, he pursed his lips, turned to look at Chu Yu, after a long time, he He suddenly smiled, reached out to hold Chu Yu's hand, and said softly, "I'm going back."

"Hmm."

Chu Yu lowered her eyes and watched him hold her hand. She thought that Wei Yun would ask her to go with her, but she listened to him: "What will you do next?"

"I want to help Gu Chusheng in disaster relief. He intercepted Yao Yong's food and grass for disaster relief, and he is afraid of danger later."

Wei Yun didn't speak, he held her hand, and after a long time, he looked up at her with helplessness in his eyes: "Then take care, don't take risks like this to scare me."

Chu Yu was stunned, she slowly raised her head and saw those eyes.

His eyes were clearly filled with thoughts and requests, but he suppressed them all. He restrained his love without any willfulness, nor did he ask her to compromise.

After a long time, Chu Yu said carefully: "You... won't you take me back?"

"If you say yes, I will take you back now." Wei Yun reached out and hugged her tightly, closing his eyes: "Why don't I want to take you back? I want to **** you back. It's just Ayu, I know, you don't want to."

Chu Yu lowered her eyes in his arms and listened to him: "If you don't want to, how can I force it? You can go anywhere you want, Ayu," he paused, Finally said: "As long as you remember to come back."

"Don't say that," Chu Yu laughed out loud: "It's like I'm spending a lot of time outside, and you're the main room in the empty boudoir."

Wei Yun was also amused by her, he let go of her, stretched out his hand to straighten the hairpin on her forehead, then he put his hand into his sleeve, looked at her tenderly and said, "Go, I'll send you away, and I'll go."

Chu Yu responded in a low voice, turned and walked towards the carriage.

Wei Yun looked at her back quietly. After she took a few steps forward, she suddenly stopped.

Then she turned back suddenly, rushed towards him, hugged his neck, forced him to bend slightly, and then felt her warm lips kissing his cheek hard For a moment, she looked up at him and said seriously, "Wei Yun, in this world, I like you the most, and I only like you."

After she finished speaking, she let go of him and returned to the carriage decisively. Wei Yun watched the carriage staggered away, and he raised his hand to put his kissed cheek in a daze. After a long time, he lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled.

As Chu Yu got into the carriage, she felt her heart beating fast. She leaned against the carriage and raised her hand to fan her hot face. Gu Chusheng looked down at the green vegetables in his hand, and after a long time, He raised his head and looked at Chu Yu.

He looked at this girl with blushing eyes and bright eyes like a little girl, and felt that she had an unprecedented beauty. If it is said that she lived a narrow and ignorant life in her previous life, and the beginning of her life was depressing and gloomy, then at this moment, she has skillfully combined the free and easy life of her previous life with the wisdom of tolerance after experiencing the world's events.

That is the kindness after going through thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is also the light after experiencing darkness and despair.

He suddenly wanted to know, what would he look like if he could walk, let go, and reach Consummation like Chu Yu?

What will Gu Chusheng look like with the blood of a teenager and the precipitation given by time.

He picked up the side dish in his hand and suddenly said, "Ayu."

Chu Yu looked up at him, but heard Gu Chusheng say: "Can you show me what the world looks like?"

Chu Yu was stunned for a while, then she laughed and said seriously, "Okay."
