I survive in the weird Liaozhai

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the sunlight coming in through the window.

Gu Nian'an supported himself with his hands and struggled to sit up from the ground.

I shook my head vigorously and finally became a little more sober.

I struggled to get up from the ground, but my feet softened the moment they touched the ground, and I almost sat back down.

I supported my knees with my hands and rested for a while, and then I felt a little better.

Ignoring his current miserable condition, he quickly looked over at Taoist Qi Yuan's bed.

The old Taoist is still there, but...Sister Red Coffin is gone.

He moved his feet and came to the bedside of Taoist Qi Yuan and took a closer look.

I saw that Taoist Qi Yuan's face was no longer as ugly as it was yesterday, and it even had a bit more color. Even his breathing and chest movement were much more normal.

I originally wanted to go forward and take his pulse to confirm the situation.

But, alas!

I can only say that I am powerless now.

His hands were covered in blood and he had completely lost consciousness.

However, judging from the old Taoist's complexion, it shouldn't be a big problem.

He had to go check on his junior sister first. Before he confirmed that she was safe, he was still a little worried.

But if he went over like this now, he was afraid that he would scare the little girl.

Sit back down on the ground and rest for a while.

Then Gu Nian'an moved back to his room, took out a green Taoist robe from the closet, changed his clothes, tidied up quickly, and then went straight to the door of the little girl Gu Caixi.

I tapped the door with my palm, then quickly put my hands in my sleeves and hid them behind my back.

"Junior sister, my senior brother has returned. Everything is fine now."

After a while, the door opened, and the little girl threw herself into his arms, sobbing softly.

Gu Nian'an was suddenly at a loss. He wanted to reach out and touch the little girl's head, but he quickly retracted his hand halfway.

"Don't cry, don't cry. If you keep crying you will turn into a little cat and it won't look good. Master is fine now. You can go and take care of him later."

Hearing this, the little girl raised her head and looked at her pale-faced senior brother, and then tears started to flow out again.

Gu Nian'an was helpless. He really had no experience in comforting girls.

"It's nothing, senior brother. I'm just a little tired from running around yesterday. I just need to take a rest."

"It's just that I was too busy yesterday and forgot to bring the candy I promised you. When Master is better, we will go down the mountain together and I will buy you more."

Hearing Gu Nian'an's words, the little girl raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes and replied softly:

"Candy is nothing, as long as Master and Brother are okay."

Gu Nian'an smiled and shook his head

"That won't do. I will definitely keep my promise to you. Next time, I will buy you many different kinds of candies. Eat until you are happy."

He put his hands in his wide sleeves and gently pushed the little girl away from his arms.

"Junior sister, senior brother is a little tired. Please help me get a basin of hot water and bring it to my room later. I'll trouble you to take care of the caretaker for the next few days."

After saying that, Gu Nian'an turned around and left in a hurry. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the girl would notice something.

Returning to the room, Gu Nian opened the wooden box at the bedside with difficulty.

When the box was opened, it was filled with densely packed small ceramic bottles.

With trembling hands, he took out a few small bottles from the box, placed them on the bed, and then covered it with a quilt.

Sitting on the bed, waiting for a moment

thump, thump, thump

There were three crisp knocks on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Gu Nian sat at the head of the bed without moving.

The little girl Gu Caixi pushed the door open carrying a small wooden basin. She put the basin on the table and stared at Gu Nian'an without blinking.

Gu Nian'an looked at the little girl with a smile.

"Brother, are you really okay? I see you don't look well."

The clothes that had been taken off earlier had been hidden, and the wound on the hand was covered by the robe, so there shouldn't be any flaws.

Gu Nian'an smiled and shook his head

"Brother, he's really fine. He's just a little tired from running back and forth. Nothing else. Just take a rest."

"Besides, Senior Brother has not practiced martial arts in vain in the past few years. Senior Brother is in good health. As for Master, he is old and has been injured this time. I would like to trouble Junior Sister to take care of him."

Seeing that her senior brother just looked a little pale and nothing else seemed to be wrong, the little girl felt a little relieved.

Then, at Gu Nian'an's urging, he left the room, looking back every few steps.

"call"

Seeing the girl leave, Gu Nian'an breathed a sigh of relief, finally he had managed to fool her.

He stood up slowly, moved slowly to the door and locked it.

Then he walked to the table, stretched out his hands from his sleeves, and looked at his hands that were covered with dirt, grass and blood. He was speechless for a moment.

This is really miserable. So it is better to avoid going down the mountain. This trip down the mountain cost him half his life.

They were lucky this time to meet the somewhat righteous Sister Red Coffin. If they had met an unreasonable one, no one in Qingyang Temple would have had a good ending.

Slowly put your hand into the basin.

"Fuck"

The corners of Gu Nian'an's mouth twitched violently. It was so damn painful.

He endured the pain and cleaned the wounds on his hands bit by bit. If they were not cleaned properly and got inflamed, that would be troublesome. After all, there were no anti-inflammatory drugs in this era.

I finally managed to clean the wound before I almost passed out from the pain.

He returned to the bed and took out a porcelain bottle from the quilt. The moment he opened it, a strong smell of alcohol emanated from the bottle.

This is also one of the results of his labor in the past six years. It is a high-concentration alcohol. A lot of alcohol was wasted in order to make this thing.

Qingyang Temple was not very wealthy in the past, and luxury goods such as alcohol were not available in large quantities, so this small bottle was his last stock.

I gritted my teeth and poured half a bottle of alcohol into my left hand.

"grass"

The moment the alcohol poured onto the wound, he felt a black screen before his eyes and nearly passed out.

After a short pause, he switched hands and continued working. After about a quarter of an hour, he finally finished everything.

After treating his injuries, he didn't care about anything else. He just turned over and lay on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep.

He was so tired that he felt he would die if he didn't rest.

Since I came into this world, I have never felt so weak and tired as I do now.

"Ugh!"

Or I’m not strong enough.

The sky was dark at night and the stars disappeared.

Gu Nian'an slowly got up from the bed. He couldn't tell the exact time, but it was already completely dark outside, so it must be late.

He woke up because he was hungry. He hadn't eaten properly since yesterday and now he was a little hungry.

And he had to clean up the blood from the wound before dark. If the girl saw this, he would be in trouble.

After forcing himself to get up from the bed, Gu Nian'an felt a little better.

My whole body still hurts, but not as much as before. It's a little difficult to move, but it's not a big problem.

Walking to the table and picking up the wooden basin, Gu Nian'an pushed open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he froze in place.

He saw the little girl Gu Caixi sitting at the door with her hands on her knees, staring at him with red eyes.
