Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Lan Yuyan clearly saw the change in Gu Huai's expression at that moment, but he still acted as if nothing had happened, stepped forward and patted Gu Huai on the shoulder, and responded: "That's right, it's really great .”

Gu Huai did not speak, and calmly pushed Lan Yuyan's hand off his shoulder.When Lan Yuyan saw this scene, her outstretched hand froze in the air.

The two of Gu Huai had lunch at Mrs. Liu's place, and then left.During this period, Liu cried and laughed, thanking them non-stop.Lan Yuyan stared at Gu Huai almost intently, but Gu Huai never glanced at him.

After they left that thatched hut, they walked on the streets of Yanjing.

Gu Huai walked with strides like flying, Lan Yuyan turned her head several times to talk to Gu Huai, but she slowed down a little, and she was left behind.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed Gu Huai's arm and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Huai glanced at him, this was the first time Gu Huai saw him since the blind girl regained her sight.

"I want to go back quickly to feed Xiaoqing, it must be starving to death."

After finishing speaking, he gently pulled his arm out of Lan Yuyan's hand, turned his head and wanted to leave again.

Lan Yuyan stopped him, arched her arms around his shoulders, and said, "If you're in such a hurry, I'll fly you back."

"No need."

Seeing Gu Huai's invulnerable appearance, Lan Yuyan was so angry that his teeth itch.He lowered his voice and asked angrily, "Why are you sulking?"

Gu Huai froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that his attitude just now must have been very bad, very annoying.

Erqing, he... didn't do anything wrong, just because he felt a little bad in his heart, he started to show face to him.Because I was unhappy in my heart, I started to hurt the people who loved me the most.

Thinking of this, Gu Huai looked back at Lan Yuyan, smiled reluctantly at him, and said, "I'm sorry."

Seeing Gu Huai's preoccupied yet forced smile, Lan Yuyan's anger was quenched in an instant, replaced by a faint throbbing pain in her heart.

"You have something on your mind? What happened, please tell me?"

Gu Huai turned his head away, silently organizing the words in his heart.

"You don't want me to swallow that spar?"

Gu Huai's body froze for a moment, his dark eyes slowly turned, he looked directly at Lan Yuyan, and asked, "What is that spar... used for? If I remember correctly, from the day I met you, every The first time you see something like this, you have to swallow it."

Lan Yuyan sighed, and said: "Do you still remember that I used to work in the Heavenly Court, and was demoted to the human world because of a big mistake 300 years ago, and was ordered to accumulate merits in the human world. My mission is to save resentful souls. The spar is formed by the resentment of the resentful soul, when the resentful soul is eliminated or its resentment dissipates, this crystal will be formed automatically."

"Then why did you swallow it?"

"The spar is the proof that I have saved my soul. Every time I swallow one, some merit will accumulate. When the merit is full, I will redeem my sins and return to heaven."

Gu Huai still looked at him fixedly, and after a long silence, he asked, "How much have you accumulated now?"

Lan Yuyan froze for a moment, looked away guiltily, and said nothing.

"Is it almost full, huh?" Gu Huai felt his eyes a little sour, "Don't keep talking, answer me."

Lan Yuyan nodded.

"Er Qing, have you ever thought about what will happen to the two of us when you have accumulated enough merits and returned to Heaven?"

Lan Yuyan still didn't speak.

Gu Huai's voice was already choked with sobs: "You have returned to the Heavenly Court and become an immortal again, are you going to leave me? Are we going to stop here?"

Lan Yuyan quickly looked at Gu Huai, and explained in a panic: "Huai'er, I may leave you for a while. But you have to trust me, I will definitely come back when I finish solving the matter!"

"Temporary? How long is it for a while? Ten years and 20 years, or 100 years and 1000 years? Are you sure I will still be living in this world when you come back?"

A painful expression appeared on Lan Yuyan's face: "Don't say such things, I won't let you have trouble..."

"Erqing," Gu Huai suddenly hugged Lan Yuyan tightly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "I remember you said that you love me, what about now?"

Lan Yuyan also hugged Gu Huai tightly, resting her chin on his neck, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is the past, present or future, I love you all, and I love you only. No one can replace you place in my heart."

"Then can you give up your identity as a fairy family for me? Don't go back, okay? Is it really so good to be a fairy?"

Lan Yuyan's body froze suddenly, and after a long time, he slowly pushed Gu Huai away, touched his cheek, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I must go back, not because it's so good to be a god, but because It is I who have a mission to fulfill, and I have to shoulder my responsibilities."

The disappointed expression on Gu Huai's face was fleeting. He wiped his eyes casually with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. You don't have to worry about me, just go if you have to, even Without you, I... I can live well."

"Huai'er..."

"Let's go, Xiaoqing may be going crazy with hunger, and she must be howling there now. The guests next door should ask us for trouble, it's too noisy, hahahaha."

After Gu Huai finished speaking, as if he didn't dare to look at Lan Yuyan again, he hurriedly turned his head away and walked away as if fleeing.

Lan Yuyan stood there in a daze for a moment, and quickly followed Gu Huai's back who was about to disappear from her sight.

When the two of them returned to the inn, they found that the bedroom was unexpectedly quiet, and there was still a weird smell of fermentation in the air.

Originally, as long as the two of them left for a short while, the house would be torn apart by dogs.When they came back again, the big dog would pounce on them frantically, arching their legs excitedly.

But this time, the big dog Xiaoqing fell asleep on the ground lifelessly.Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he just raised his eyes and glanced at them, then continued to close his eyes and fell asleep.

Gu Huai stepped forward to fish the dog's head on the ground into his arms, rubbed it vigorously, and said, "Xiaoqing, are you hungry? Do you miss us?"

Xiaoqing whimpered, put her head into Gu Huai's arms and rubbed it, then stuck out her tongue and licked his hand.

"Strange, why are you so lethargic today?" Gu Huai turned around and shouted at Lan Yuyan, "Erqing, come quickly and see what's wrong with your brother?"

Lan Yuyan sniffled, frowning and patrolling the room.Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched, he pointed to a corner next to the cabinet, and exclaimed: "Ah, over there!"

Gu Huai looked in the direction Lan Yuyan was pointing at, and saw a small ball of vomit.

He quickly rubbed the dog's head and asked, "Xiaoqing, what's the matter with you, are you sick?"

Lan Yuyan wrinkled her nose in disgust and said, "It's really troublesome."

Gu Huai frowned and looked at Xiaoqing, sighed, and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with the stomach."

Lan Yuyan walked over, pulled Gu Huai up from the ground, and said, "Leave it alone, it seems that it will die soon, don't get infected again."

Gu Huai shook his head and said, "No, it looks like it's probably gastritis and it's not contagious. Well, it shouldn't be a serious problem. I'll go out and see if I can get some medicine."

Lan Yuyan's displeased expression meant that why are you so concerned about a dog?

"Erqing, stay here and help me take care of Xiaoqing, I'll be back in a while." Gu Huai said, grabbed the money bag on the table and stuffed it into his arms, and walked out in a hurry.
