Gu Chao, the reborn little brother

The light was very dim and the distance was very far, but Chu Ming could still see the determination on Gu Chao's face.The thin figure stood there, approaching step by step.

I lured them, and you took Gu Huai to escape back to your home village when you saw the opportunity.

This was the information that Gu Chao revealed to Chu Ming. Gu Chao believed that Chu Ming would understand, so even though his legs were weak and trembling, he kept approaching the group of ferocious beasts.

I understand, but I don't want you to do that.

Chu Ming shook his head at Gu Chao, but he couldn't stop Gu Chao's determination to do this.

There is a relatively sloping embankment between the river surface and the road beside the river. Two or three wild wolves on the outside rushed up once, but then slid down again. Other wild wolves also began to look sideways. Prey in the background.

Wild wolves have a natural hunting instinct, and the strong and aggressive Chu Ming is like a tiger, and the thin Gu Chao is like a little white rabbit, allowing them to play with their minions.

"do not come!"

Chu Ming yelled loudly, and Gu Chao was stunned, which also attracted the pack of wild wolves to take Chu Ming as their first target again.

Chu Ming hugged Gu Huai in his arms even tighter, his dark eyes gleamed fiercely, as if he wanted to fight to the death with these wild wolves.The long arrow in his hand was still waving continuously, and he retreated step by step, not wanting to transfer such danger to Gu Chao.

"Xiao Huai, are you afraid?" Chu Ming asked Gu Huai while paying attention to the surrounding environment.

"Master, I'm not afraid." Gu Huai was pulled into Chu Ming's arms, and his small hands were placed on Chu Ming's lapel, gripping very tightly. Gu Huai's face turned pale, his eyes opened wide, It's just a six-year-old child, how could he not be afraid of the current situation.But he kept his face tense, showing no expression of fear, not wanting to affect Chu Ming.

"Xiao Huai, Master will definitely save you." Chu Ming hurriedly lowered his head to meet Gu Huai's dark green eyes, his expression was firm, revealing his determination to die and his promise.

Some wild wolves rushed up impatiently. Although Chu Ming dodged to dodge, the sharp wolf claws tore through his clothes, leaving streaks of blood.

Smelling the pungent smell of blood, Chu Ming's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and his heart was heavy like a huge boulder that had been weighed down by a thousand catties.

He pressed Gu Huai against his chest, his whole body was full of defense, but his feet were making abrupt movements.

Chu Ming raised his foot, and stomped heavily on the ice under his feet. He has learned Tai Chi for nearly ten years, and he has naturally mastered the way of Qi and power.

He didn't lift his feet high, but when he fell, he exhausted all his strength.

Just as Chu Ming could discern the deep meaning in Gu Chao's eyes, when Chu Ming moved, Gu Chao thought a little.

The two of them had almost the same idea. Under the siege of wolves, it was impossible to escape unscathed. If someone wanted to live, someone must die.

It was Chu Ming who Gu Chao didn't want to die, and it was Gu Chao who naturally didn't want Chu Ming to die.

You can use your body as bait, and so can I... perish together...

creak!creak -

The ice on the river made a screeching sound.

Chu Ming's movements didn't stop, he kept turning back and forth, his steps were heavy but steady.

Gu Chao froze the approaching footsteps, Chu Ming had already started to act more neatly than him, if he rushed down, it would only cost him an extra life.

His eyes were red, his heart was tense and tense, it hurt so much, he took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, his nails sank into the flesh, but his nerves had no time to feel the pain of the flesh.

creak!Creak—two more crackling sounds of ice,

The river water has flowed up along with the gap, and Chu Ming has already felt the wetness of the river water under his feet. What he needs to do now is to keep moving to expand the possible gap in the river surface.

Chu Ming's movements continued to speed up and his range increased, but the more he did so, the more times he was attacked by wild wolves.

But he protected Gu Chao well and didn't let him suffer any harm.

Gu Chao watched Chu Ming's actions, saving them, trying to save them, this was the only thought left in his mind.

Chu Ming's plan was still going on, the cracks on the river surface were getting bigger and bigger, the wolves seemed to be affected by the atmosphere change, the hungry beasts attacked more fiercely, and his footsteps on the river surface were slightly chaotic.

Just a little bit, a little bit more!

Chu Ming watched anxiously and carefully, considering the cracks under his feet, even if all the ice was cracked, it might not be possible to sink all the wolves into the river.

The pack of wild wolves approached Chu Ming non-stop, and kept narrowing the encirclement range.

The wound on his body was also bleeding continuously, and his physical strength was drained very quickly after a long confrontation.

boom! boom! boom!

Just when Chu Ming was in a dilemma, a stone was thrown from the bank, hitting the ice layer on the river heavily.

Chu Ming looked up and saw that there were not only Gu Chao on the road along the embankment, but also Gu Cheng and a few brave fathers. They carried stones from the foot of the mountain and threw them behind the wolves. The target was not the wolves. , but the ice on the river.

Gu Chao already understood what Chu Ming wanted to do. Just now he flew to the entrance of Gu’s Village and told Gu Cheng about it. Gu Cheng believed what Gu Chao said, and believed even more in Chu Ming. with help.

The stone fell on the ice, and there was another crisp and crisp sound of shattering.

creak!

This time, Chu Ming knew that it was almost done.

This time, Chu Ming no longer stomped on him, but hugged Gu Huai, and his whole body seemed to fly into the air.

With his hand on the back of Gu Huai's head, he murmured softly, "Xiao Huai, don't be afraid, Master will definitely save you."

The creaking sound of the ice cracking, the plopping sound of falling, the wailing roar of wild wolves——

All of a sudden, various noisy voices sprang up.

Gu Chao watched Chu Ming fly, watched Chu Ming fall, watched Chu Ming and the wolves pass through the broken ice together, and watched Chu Ming fall into the icy river.

He also seemed to be the same, falling down with Chu Ming, his vision kept blurring, he touched his cheek, which was wet, and realized that he was crying.

The huge ice hole, and the pack of wild wolves also fell down together. Some of the more sensitive wolves grabbed the unbroken ice with their wolf claws, thumping and thumping to come from the shore.

Gu Cheng's speed was even faster. He led the men and rushed down with a gun in his hand. Standing on the bank, he pushed the wild wolves that jumped out one by one back into the river with guns.

The sharp spear pierced the wolf's body, and at the same time, red blood gushed out, staining the river red, and the bloody smell hit the face.

Gu Chao followed Gu Cheng and rushed all the way down the river embankment, his eyes were locked on the river surface, staring at it tightly without blinking.

Chu Ming, Gu Huai, Chu Ming, Gu Huai, Chu Ming, Gu Huai...

Gu Chao's lower lip kept trembling, and he silently recited the names of the two people over and over again in his heart.

The river water was mixed with blood, and it was chaotic. A surviving wild wolf was still struggling, and countless water splashes were stirred up in the big ice hole.

Gu Chao didn't know exactly how long it had been until the last wild wolf was pierced through the body with the joint force of several masters. Under the black hair, the undulation of the wolf's abdomen became smaller and smaller, and it floated in the icy river. The corpses of wild wolves.

The river surface gradually returned to calm, but Gu Chao's heart became more and more anxious.

puff puff!

Several bubbles burst from the depths of the river.

Gu Chao's breathing tightened, and his heart beat with those few bubbles.

With a crash, a figure emerged from the river, but only half of his face was protruded in the darkness. Chu Ming opened his mouth, took a big breath, and sank back into the river. He even exchanged a look with Gu Chao. There is no time.

He is still alive.

As the heart breathed a sigh of relief, another boulder hung higher.

Chu Ming appeared, but Gu Huai, who had been hugged by Chu Ming all this time, disappeared.

When the two fell into the water, under the seemingly calm ice, the river was unexpectedly turbulent. Chu Ming already had many scratches on his arms. Sent, the little Gu Huai was washed away from Chu Ming's embrace along the river.

There was Gu Cheng's voice next to his ears, Gu Chao couldn't hear what he said, he only saw the corpses of wild wolves being dragged ashore one by one, and the water circles on the water surface swayed in circles, Disappearing in circles.

After Gu Cheng ordered the matter to be settled, he stretched out his hand to circle Gu Chao, and pressed him in front of him, "Brother Chao, it will be fine, Chu Ming will definitely bring Xiao Huai back."

When he got close to Gu Cheng, Gu Chao felt that his body was trembling non-stop, and the cold spread from the deepest part of his heart to his limbs.

Gollum.

Every time there are bubbles coming out of the river, Gu Chao's eyes flicker on and off.

Chu Ming emerged from the river again. This time, he stopped on the surface of the water, gasping for breath. His face was almost pale. Ordinary people would not be able to stand soaking in the icy river for so long, let alone Chu Ming, who had been confronted with the wild wolf for a long time before, and had wounds on his body.

While panting, Chu Ming looked at Gu Chao by the river, his dark eyes flashed with incomparable firmness.

Wait for me, I will definitely rescue Gu Huai.

"Chu Ming, don't..." Gu Chao wanted to persuade Chu Ming to give up, not to go down again, and if he went down again, he might not even be able to get up.

But before he finished speaking, Chu Ming opened his mouth again, took a deep breath, and dived down again.

After tidying up the wild wolf's corpse, Gu Cheng asked those fathers to follow the flow of the river and break up the ice layer downstream. If Gu Huai was really washed downstream, it would be convenient for Chu Ming to swim up with him.

For the river in front of Gujia Village, Gu Chao has too many strange feelings. When "Gu Chao" fell into the water, what he got back was his life. With Gu Huai, there is another Chu Ming who can be relied on.

Today, who will this river take away?

"Come out, come out. Brother Chao, there are two people!"

I don't know who yelled, but Gu Chao felt a shock all over his body. The three souls and seven souls that flew out of his body seemed to be shaken back all of a sudden, and a puff of air condensed on the soles of his feet, supporting him to stride forward. rushed forward.

Chu Ming soaked in the water, holding Gu Huai in his hand, the people on the shore picked him up and pulled him out of the water with all their might.

"Xiao Huai, Xiao Huai, Xiao Huai."

Gu Chao threw himself next to Gu Huai and kept calling his name, but Gu Huai's small face was waxy white, his lips were bloodless, his eyes were tightly closed, and his chest... didn't even breathe a little.

While trembling almost, he untied the heavy wet cotton coat on Gu Huai's body, calmed down, and Gu Chao took a deep breath to suppress the panic in his heart.

Don't panic, absolutely don't panic, the only one who can save Gu Huai now is himself.

He took off his cotton coat, covered Gu Huai's body, crossed his fingers, and pressed down on Gu Huai's small chest.

Gu Chao knows that there is no theory of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in this world, but as a modern person, he naturally can't mess himself up in such an emergency.

The others couldn't understand what Gu Chao was doing, and wanted to step forward to stop his weird movements, but they were stopped by Gu Cheng, "Let him try."

After Gu An left, Gu Chao seemed to have grown up overnight. Gu Cheng noticed all these things. The only doctor Lin in the village, Gu Ning, was not around. Gu Huai, why not let Gu Chao try.

Gu Chao pinched Gu Huai's nose and blew air into his mouth one after another.

As time went by, Gu Huai still didn't respond. His body was always cold. Gu Chao's subordinates were acting more and more flustered. .

"Let me come, you take a break."

With the same pale face and wet body, Chu Ming stretched out his hand and moved Gu Chao's position. He knelt on the position in front of Gu Chao, imitating Gu Chao's movements, pressing down on Gu Huai's chest again and again. Blow into his mouth.

Maybe it was really because Chu Ming's strength was stronger than Gu Chao's. After a few strokes, Gu Huai coughed and sprayed a small stream of water from his mouth.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

"Do you want to continue?" Chu Ming raised his head and asked Gu Chao.

"No need, no need, just cough it out." Gu Chao stepped forward and hugged Gu Huai, feeling the slight rise and fall of his chest, a small smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Like a little flower, blooming on his face.

In the dimness, Chu Ming saw it, but it was like the last hurdle to relax his nerves. The person who was standing upright suddenly fell down.

The people around immediately surrounded him, Gu Cheng peeled off Chu Ming's cotton coat, there were wounds of different depths on his back and arms, already turned white by blisters, but the deep red blood was still slowly overflowing.

Gu Chao glanced at it, it was so shocking, he couldn't help hugging Gu in his arms even tighter.

There was not a single wound on Gu Huai's body, it was Chu Ming who was protecting him.

"It should be due to excessive blood loss." Gu Cheng took off his padded coat and wrapped it around Chu Ming's body, pressing tightly on the wound.

Gu Cheng immediately arranged for someone to borrow a carriage from someone in the village who had a carriage, and then carried Chu Ming into the carriage. Gu Chao also got into the carriage with Gu Huai in his arms, and hurried all the way to Wenshui Town.

On a frantic day, dark weather, low air pressure, it was always as dark as night, and at the beginning of the night, the clouds in the sky began to be blown away by the north wind, exposing half of Yueniang's cheek.

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

Wenshui Town, Rejuvenation Hall.

Gu Cheng personally rushed to the most famous pharmacy in the town with the carriage between his legs. He patted on the closed door of the pharmacy desperately, and finally called out the shopkeeper of Huichuntang.

Because Gu Cheng used to be a teacher in Wenshui Town, the child of the pharmacy shopkeeper is his student, so he has some relationship with the pharmacy shopkeeper.

He was the manager of the pharmacy, and immediately sent a servant to invite Dr. Lin who had already returned home.

Doctor Lin simply checked Chu Ming and Gu Huai. Most of the injuries on Chu Ming’s body were traumatic injuries, and on the way here, he had already regained consciousness, but his body was weak and weak. Doctor Lin asked his apprentices to prepare Medicinal materials for treating trauma, simply bandaged, and then rested well.

But when it was the turn of Gu Huai who had been unconscious all this time, Dr. Lin didn't take back his finger on Gu Huai's wrist for a long time.

Gu Chao was worried, but he didn't dare to disturb Dr. Lin.

Doctor Lin, who was quite old, stroked his gray beard and shook his head with a serious expression.

With Doctor Lin shaking his head, the most important part of Gu Chao's heart suddenly collapsed, "Doctor Lin, Xiao Huai...Xiao Huai is still breathing well!"

Gu Chao's voice trembled violently.

"There's more air out than air in. I've been soaking in the glaciers for too long. I'm afraid my internal organs have been frozen to death. I'm just dragging my last breath." Dr. Lin said it tactfully, but he also told the truth clearly.

The internal organs have gradually stopped moving. As for the beating and stopping of the heart, it is only a matter of time.

Gu Cheng's face was equally calm. First, Gu An left in a hurry, then Gu Chao fell into the water, and now it's Gu Huai again. How could this family be like this from the old year to the new year...

He watched Gu Chao hold Gu Huai's hand tightly and never let go. The two small bodies were tightly leaning on each other. Gu Cheng couldn't bear it. He glanced at the shopkeeper, his eyes full of pleading mean.

The shopkeeper knew what he meant, and asked Dr. Lin again: "Old Lin, is there really no other way?"

Doctor Lin sighed softly, "If you just want to hang your life for a few more days, there is still a way."

"What method?" Gu Chao asked eagerly, as if grasping a chance.

"A few days ago, a batch of medicinal materials came into the pharmacy. There was a high-quality wild ginseng in it. Cut the ginseng into slices and press the slices on the bottom of the tongue. His breath can be suspended, but it can last for a few days. , can really wake up, it can only be resigned to fate." Doctor Lin said slowly.

As long as he can live, even if it is just a few more days, it is hope.

Just like when Gu Chaohui spent all his savings to get Lin Jian to receive the best treatment in the hospital, he knew that he would not recover, but he was still alive and breathing, and he wanted to keep him.

"Doctor, how much is this wild ginseng?"

Doctor Lin turned his head to look at the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and the shopkeeper said, "I don't need to earn any money from you, but the purchase price of this wild ginseng costs 100 taels of silver..."

The shopkeeper withdrew the end of the sentence. Everyone knew what he meant.

100 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for 30 to 100 years. They are just the most ordinary farmers, how could they get [-] taels of silver!

The silver that Gu Chao could take out was not even ten taels, let alone 100 taels.

He looked at Gu Cheng pleadingly, but Gu Cheng could only shake his head helplessly at him. Although he is the head of Gu's Village, he is not an official and has no salary, and if there is any problem in the village, he will give money to go out to repair it. Pretending, and there is a child waiting to be fed at home, as an elder, he is really too shy.

"Shopkeeper, can you give me credit first, I will make money and return it to you soon, the shopkeeper Qin of Xiangyunbuzhuang can give me a guarantee, I consigned the purse with him, and I can earn three taels of silver a month, I I can give you interest, one month at a time, and I will pay back the money to the pharmacy, please give me this wild ginseng on credit!"

Gu Chao begged hard, but the shopkeeper also had a hard look on his face.

"Little brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the amount is too big, and I can't be the master." Although he is the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall, he is not the boss. 100 taels, such a large amount of silver taels, he must first contact The boss communicates to make a decision. "Our boss just went out to visit relatives a few days ago. No one can decide on this matter."

The atmosphere in the room became more and more solemn, and everyone's face was more or less heavy.

creak.

With the sound of the door opening, Chu Ming walked into the room with the support of the pharmacy apprentices. His face was already a little bloody, but his steps were still unsteady, and half of his body was leaning on the apprentices.

"I'll pay for the 100 taels." His voice was lower and lighter than before.

Gu Chao's eyes glistened with tears, and his gaze focused on Chu Ming. This person always appeared by his side when he needed it most.
