There is a small town on the southern coast named Linyun Town.Linyun Town is near the sea, but it is not a port. Most of the local people make a living by fishing. Most of them are self-sufficient, and their lives are ordinary and carefree.
Early in the morning, a bird landed on a rock by the sea, its fluffy feathers were messed up by the sea breeze.
The little gray bird stared at the blue sea in the distance with its obsidian-like eyes, in a daze.
He hadn't seen Gu Xing for two days.
The two came to this Linyun Town three years ago, and lived here incognito, and their lives were fairly stable.
Linyun Town is small, and few foreigners set foot here, so when they arrived, they caused quite a commotion.
However, this place is not exclusive, and it quickly accommodated them, two foreigners, as permanent residents.But it didn't take long for An Ding to come, and the matchmaker who said she was close came to the door.
Gu Xing and Xiao Huique, one handsome and calm, the other handsome and cute, have captured the hearts of many girls since they first arrived.
When the two of them first came here, the situation in the Central Plains was still unstable, and it was unavoidable that extra problems arose. Gu Ting didn't tell others about the real relationship between the two.When the matchmaker came to the door, Gu Xing only replied that he had no intention of getting married for the time being, and politely sent the matchmaker away.
I thought it was just a small episode, but I didn't expect that within a few months, another family came here again.
In just three years, the people who came to kiss each other never stopped.
Not only that, but there are not a few people who deliberately used excuses to get close to Gu Xing in the past.Two days ago, the little gray bird had an awkward fight with Gu Xing because of this matter.
At that time, Gu Xun happened to be away on business, a woman suddenly visited their home and said that she promised Gu Xun to send him some fried dried shrimps.After staying here, Gu Xun opened a private school to teach local children to read, and occasionally went fishing with the locals.That girl is the youngest daughter of a fisherman's family who often takes Gu Xing out to sea, her name is Fuling.
Fishermen who live along the coast don't have so many rules and taboos. Fuling fished everywhere with the fishermen at a young age, and was raised as a boy since she was a child.
These years, Gu Xun and Little Gray Sparrow lived and ate together, and the locals regarded them as two brothers.Poria cocos is the same.Seeing that Little Gray Finch was bored at home alone, she pulled him to tell him interesting stories about going out to sea, and couldn't help but praise Gu Xing's character in her words.
But the little gray sparrow listened, but felt a little uncomfortable.
Emotional Gu Xing is so close to the woman next to him outside?
The little gray sparrow became angrier the more he heard it, held back his anger and sent him away, and angrily changed into his original shape and flew out of the house.
According to common sense, Gu Xing didn't see the little gray bird after returning home, so he must have come out to look for him, but the little gray bird waited until dark, and no one came to look for him.After returning home, Gu Xun left him a note, saying that he went fishing with the fishermen.
——The little gray bird flew out of the house again in anger.
"Stupid Gu Xing." The little gray bird stared at the distant sea and said angrily.
Suddenly, there was a voice not far away.
The little gray sparrow was startled, flapped its wings and jumped off the rock, hid in the crevice of the rock and poked its head out.Two women walked over with some fishing nets, and they should be preparing to dry the nets.
One of the women skillfully spread the fishing net on the beach, then turned her head and asked, "Alan, is your husband still the same? Doing nothing at home all day?"
Ah Lan sighed: "That's not true. Since getting married, that dead ghost only eats, drinks, and has fun all day long, and doesn't do any work. I really envy your husband-in-law, who is hardworking, capable, and considerate."
The woman beside him smiled and said: "That's different. My husband is a married man, so he dare not stop working. If he doesn't work and annoys my father, he will be kicked out of the house."
The two spread out the fishing net on the beach, knelt down on the ground again, and took out the fishing line from their arms to mend the damaged fishing net.
Alan worked skillfully, and then complained: "It's fine if you don't work, and you are angry with me all day long, dislike this and that, and don't understand my hard work outside at all. How can he do this?"
Another woman also said: "That's not okay, you have to talk to him carefully. If my husband wants to do this, I don't want him long ago."
The two quickly finished their work, left a beach of laid fishing nets, and left the beach.
The little gray finch flew out from behind the reef, staring thoughtfully at the fishing nets that fell on the ground.
He heard what those two people said just now.
The little gray sparrow buried her head in her chest and combed the disheveled feathers on her chest, bringing some introspection to her originally depressed mind.
During the time he was with Gu Xing, he never did any work.
In fact, the two of them are not short of money. Living in Linyun Town, even if they don't work like ordinary people, they can still live comfortably.But after leaving Chang'an, life is different after all.
They can no longer be as carefree as before, and no one will help them with cooking and washing, and they have to do everything by themselves.
But Gu Xun never let him touch anything, even if he came here, the little gray bird still had to eat and play every day, and enjoyed the care that Gu Xun gave him as it should.
It seems... It's not as good as the woman named A Lan just now, the gentleman in her mouth.
Could it be because of this that Gu Xun didn't want him and went to find someone else.
The morning sea breeze, with its salty dampness, ruffled the feathers of the little bullfinch.He couldn't comb it smoothly, and fell on his back on the reef, looking like he was giving up on himself.
In the past, when Gu Xun went to sea, he would always tell him when to leave and when to return. He had never left in such a hurry like this time.
He won't really come back, will he?
The more the little gray bird thought about it, the more he felt uncertain. He suddenly jumped up from the reef, flapped his wings, and flew towards the blue sea.
The sky was getting dark, there was a big storm on the sea, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if heavy rain was coming.A fishing boat was tethered to the shore, swaying under the beating of the sea.
A bonfire was lit on the coast, and Gu Xun sat on the reef, staring at the rough sea in the distance.
He was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but his demeanor was still different from others, and he seemed a bit out of place among a group of fishermen.
The light in the sky gradually sank, Gu Xun looked into the distance, and sighed in his heart.
For some reason, from this morning until now, he has been feeling uneasy.However, due to the bad weather at sea today, the fleet was unable to continue sailing and was forced to rest on an island some distance away from Linyun Town.
He didn't go back for so long, and he didn't know if that silly bird would be worried.
"Brother Lu, drink some water." A female voice sounded behind him.Gu Xun turned his head away, and Fu Ling handed him a kettle.
After coming here, in order to deceive others, Gu Xun changed his name to Lu Xun.
Gu Xun took the kettle: "Thank you."
Fu Ling has just passed Ji's age, but she doesn't have the restrained rules of girls in her usual boudoir.She sat down next to Gu Xing carelessly, and said, "My father said that he can return early in the morning, Brother Lu, don't worry."
"it is good."
Fu Ling wanted to say something again, but saw a dark mass flying towards their direction on the surface of the sea.
The thing wobbled in the wind and rain, as if it had no strength, it fell from mid-air before it could even reach the two of them.Before Fu Ling could react, Gu Xun suddenly got up and jumped forward, and when the little thing was about to hit the rock, he firmly received the person in his palm.
"Brother Lu!"
Gu Xun jumped in a hurry, one of them lost his footing and slipped down from the rock.
Fortunately, the reef was not too high, so Gu Xing rolled twice on the reef and fell into the sand on the side.The plain white robe was stained with a lot of sand, but he didn't care about it at all, and opened his palms cautiously.
A little gray bird was lying on his palm with its belly upturned, its chest heaving slightly, as if it was exhausted.
The little gray bird raised its head and stared at Gu Xing's face. He had been flying on the sea for too long, and after the light gray feathers were stained with water vapor, the color became a little darker, sticking to his body sticky, making his figure look unprecedented. Petite, as if rolled in the water and picked up again.
But he was still in good spirits, his dark eyes blinked, and there was a bit of joy in his voice: "Ah, I finally found you."
Seeing him like this, Gu Xing was worried at first, and then immediately became angry again.He was about to have a seizure when the fishermen on the beach heard the movement and ran to him one after another.
Fu Ling also jumped off the rock and exclaimed, "Brother Lu, your hand!"
It was only later that Gu Xun realized that the clothes on his arms had been cut by rough stones, a little blood seeped out, and soon stained the sleeves with blood.
"Ah, Ah Xun—" Little Gray Bird also found that Gu Xun was injured, and was about to speak when the other party suddenly reached out and patted him on the back.The words of the little gray sparrow changed into a different tone when it came to his mouth, and suddenly turned into a chirping sparrow.
The fishermen only cared about Gu Xing's injury, and didn't notice the strangeness of the little gray bird.
Gu Xun followed the fishermen back to the bonfire, and soon someone helped him get the wound medicine from the boat.Among the accompanying people, only Fu Ling was a woman, so she was naturally entrusted to bandage the wound.
Fu Ling took clean water to help Gu Xing clean the wound, and then meticulously gave the wound medicine.
The little gray bird squatted in the palm of Gu Xing's hand, seeing the slender and terrifying wound on the other's arm, the look in his eyes darkened a bit.The little gray sparrow chirped twice, and rubbed its little head against Gu Xing's fingers.
Fu Ling noticed the little gray sparrow in Gu Xing's hand, and asked with a smile: "This little bird is so cute, as if he knew that Big Brother Lu was trying to save it from being injured."
Gu Xing touched the little gray bird's head with his free hand, and his eyes softened immediately: "Cute is cute, but a little silly."
Where is he stupid? !
The little gray sparrow chirped non-stop, lowered its head and pecked Gu Xing's finger to vent its anger.
Seeing him like this, instead of being angry, Gu Xun couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth.During the bandage, Poria looked up at Gu Xun's expression, and tilted his head in wonder.
Isn't it just a bird, as for showing such... gentle eyes?
It's like looking at your own wife.
Fu Ling was taken aback by her own thoughts, and suddenly felt that her presence was particularly intrusive, so she simply helped Gu Xing finish bandaging, and found an excuse to leave the campfire.
The night was getting dark, and all the fishermen slept in the camp, and soon only Gu Xing and the little gray bird were left by the campfire.
Gu Xun fanned the bonfire a bit more, and held the little gray sparrow, which was shivering from the sea breeze, to the fire, and asked him to dry his feathers.
Gu Xun looked down at the pitiful appearance of the little gray bird, and taught a lesson: "Now you know it's cold? Flying so far to find me, you don't want to die?"
The little gray bird was shivering from the cold, intermittently aggrieved: "I didn't know it was so far..."
He actually didn't know where Gu Xun went to sea, but he stayed with Gu Xing for a long time, so he could feel this person's aura to some extent.He followed that faint breath and flew forward. Halfway through the flight, he realized that the coastline was gradually moving away from him, surrounded by sea water, and even if he wanted to go back, he couldn't go back.
He could only keep going forward, and after flying for a whole day, he finally found Gu Xing.
Fortunately, the little gray bird is now a demon. If it was just an ordinary bird, it might have died long ago.
Gu Xing sighed deeply, not wanting to argue with him on this issue, and asked again: "So... what exactly are you looking for me for?"
The little gray sparrow paused, then raised its head and said, "I just want to see you. I'm worried that you haven't come back like this."
Seeing him like this, Gu Xing's heart softened a little. He rubbed the little gray bird's head and said, "Didn't I leave you a letter before I came out? Didn't you see it?"
The little gray bird hesitated.
Thinking of the two fisher girls she met this morning, Little Gray Bird suddenly didn't want Gu Xing to know that she was blindly jealous and had a unilateral fight with Gu Xing.
He avoided Gu Xing's eyes and said in a low voice, "I saw it."
Gu Xing frowned, and asked, "Then why did you come to see me?"
The little gray sparrow didn't answer, he flew to the fire and shook his still wet feathers.Gu Xing narrowed his eyes, keenly aware that he was hiding something, but he didn't ask any more questions.
At night, the sea breeze was getting stronger, and the wet feathers stuck to the little bullfinch's body, which was bitingly cold.He unconsciously approached the fire, and the sparks almost splashed on him.Gu Xing hurriedly picked him up from the fire.
With lingering fears in his heart, Gu Xing scolded, "You want to roast yourself?"
The little gray bird was also taken aback. He sat in Gu Xing's hand and burrowed into his cuff: "I don't want to, but...it's really cold."
Gu Xing was silent for a moment, then said: "There is another way"
The little gray bird stopped moving: "What?"
Gu Xun said: "When you change back to human form, you won't be cold after drying your body."
"Yes." The little gray bird blinked and looked around, "But there are people around here, will they be seen by others?"
Gu Xing stood up and walked towards the camp with the little gray bird.
There are tents on the fishing boat all the year round, Gu Xun doesn't like to get too close to people, so he intentionally pitches his tent farther away.Gu Xun carried the little gray bird into the tent, and before he could speak, the little gray bird flew out of his hands, and its round body rolled onto the simple bed in the tent.
A ray of light flashed in the tent, and a naked boy knelt on the bed, smiled at Gu Xun and rolled his eyes: "Really, it won't be so cold this way."
Gu Xun's movements froze.
He turned around calmly, blocked the tent tightly, took a veil and walked to the side of the bed, sat down and wiped the little gray bird.
By the way, when he was brushing himself, he took out the method of Minister Zongzhengsi and "tortured" in detail what the little gray bird was hiding from him.
……
Under Gu Xing's coercion, the little gray bird quickly told the truth, but even so, Gu Xing still refused to let him go.
The two stayed in the camp, and the little gray bird was worried that someone might hear something, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and was tossed harder and harder.Gu Xing tossed him for most of the night, and it was already late at night when the little gray bird fell asleep.
After falling asleep, the little gray bird fell into a strange dream in a daze.
The little gray bird fluttered its wings in the huge space, surrounded by darkness, he called Gu Xing's name loudly, but received no response.Suddenly, a little light came on not far ahead, and the little gray bird blinked and flew towards the place where the light was.
Behind the light is a familiar bedroom.
He saw Gu Xun in the prince's wedding dress standing in the bedroom, and beside the bed in front of him was a woman also wearing a wedding dress.
Gu Xun stepped forward and slowly lifted the woman's red hijab. It was a strange face.
That's not a gray bird.
Standing behind the screen, the little gray bird watched Gu Xun and the woman drink the wine, watched Gu Xun slowly remove the wedding robe on his body, and put his finger on the button of the woman's clothes...
"Ah!" The little gray bird couldn't bear it anymore and said, he walked forward, only to realize that he had changed back to a human form at some point.The little gray sparrow couldn't care less, grabbed Gu Xun's wrist and asked, "Ah Xun, how can you marry someone else?"
Gu Xing turned his head away from him, his voice seemed to be suppressing something: "Que'er, you shouldn't be here."
"You...you're not Ah Jun..."
It was clearly the same face, but he felt that Gu Xun's appearance was very strange, so strange that he was a little scared.
This realization made Little Gray Que unable to bear back half a step, but Gu Xun followed closely and clasped his wrist with his backhand: "Que'er, where do you want to go?"
The voice suddenly became ethereal, and the little gray bird felt as if he had stepped on the ground and fell into a bottomless void that was deeper than before.
When the feeling of falling completely disappeared, the little gray bird opened his eyes, and he was in a hut.
The furnishings in the house are simple, there are no windows, and the candle flames on the wall dance faintly.The little gray bird sat up, but there was a crisp sound of metal collision.
On his slender wrist, a small gold chain was tied, making his skin even fairer.
One end of the gold chain was tied to a corner of the bed, just enough to accommodate his activities in the cabin.
Only then did the little gray bird notice that the walls of this hut were covered with a thin layer of gold, just like the golden silk cage that Gu Xun used to lock him up in the palace in the past.
There was a rustling sound of iron chains outside the door, the door of the hut was opened, and Gu Xing walked in with a gloomy expression.
The little gray bird pursed its lips, and pulled the gold chain on its hand: "Ah, you let me go, why did you lock me up here."
Hearing his voice, Gu Xing's expression became even more gloomy.He walked forward slowly, gently clasped the wrist of the little gray bird, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly: "You are not allowed to go."
The little gray bird moved uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "Ah, what are you talking about, let me go?"
"Impossible." Gu Xun's eyes were bloodshot, he forced the slender boy back on the bed, his voice was hoarse, "Let me let you go, who do you want to go to? Even you want to betray me, right?"
The clothes on the little gray bird's shoulders were torn, and with the sound of cloth shattering, Gu Xing's voice sounded softly: "You can't go anywhere, you can only stay by my side, you can only be by my side..."
"Don't, don't—" Little Grayfinch sat up abruptly, seeing a slightly crude tent in front of him.
There is no gorgeous palace, and no gilded huts. He smelled the smell of fresh sea water in the tent, and he didn't recover for a long time.
Suddenly, someone embraced him from behind.
A familiar breath covered him, and a lazy voice rang in his ear: "Did you have a nightmare?"
The little gray bird turned his head away, and Gu Xing looked down at him with his usual gentle expression.
"Ah..." The little gray sparrow's nose soured, and she buried herself in Gu Xun's arms, her voice almost crying.
Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, and stroked the back of the little gray bird twice: "It's just a dream, why are you so scared? Tell me, what did you dream about?"
The little gray bird whispered: "...dream of you."
Gu Xing laughed: "I dreamed that I scared you like this?"
He thought that he had always been gentle with Little Gray Finch, even in bed, he was always considerate of the other person's feelings. Although he used some tough methods to press Little Gray Finch last night, it should be within the range that this person can bear.
How could it scare people into nightmares?
The little gray bird calmed down a bit, but the content of the dream still made him more and more wronged, the little gray bird leaned against Gu Xing's arms, and accused: "I dreamed that you married someone else to be the princess."
"Which year is this old?" Gu Xun silently, "Not to mention that my wedding banquet was messed up by myself, even if I really married the princess, didn't I also marry you?"
"But it wasn't me in the dream." The little gray bird muttered, "... I don't know where the little fairy came from."
Gu Xing smiled helplessly, and said, "What else did you dream about?"
The little gray bird shrank its neck, as if it still had lingering fears: "I dreamed that you locked me up, tied my hands with gold chains, and bullied me...it made me feel very uncomfortable."
Gu Xing couldn't stand listening, so he raised his hand and tapped the little gray bird's forehead: "What are you thinking about all day long? I... How could I do that kind of thing."
The little gray bird held its forehead in pain, and whispered: "I don't know why I have this kind of dream... Maybe it's because I'm worried that you don't want me."
Gu Xun frowned and asked, "What nonsense, why don't I want you?"
The little gray sparrow said: "I don't know how to work, I eat too much, and I'm always angry with you. I heard the fisher girl say that if her husband-in-law looks like this, she won't want her husband-in-law long ago. So I'm worried... ..."
"Stupid bird." Gu Xun rubbed the little gray bird's hair, and said warmly, "I'm different from them, and also from the person in your dream, I won't want you."
"really?"
"Of course." Gu Xun hugged him and lay back on the bed, and said, "If you are still not at ease, we will hold a wedding banquet after we go back, and according to local customs, we will get married again."
"Okay." Little Gray Bird nodded, thought of something else, and added, "Don't worry, I will learn to do housework and catch fish and set nets when I get back. I must take good care of you."
Gu Xun said: "You don't have to..."
"Why not, I am your husband-in-law, of course I have to do this."
"...Okay, you are my husband."
It was still early, and the tent returned to silence.Hearing the sound of the sea water beating against the rocks outside the tent, the little gray bird was still a little scared, and asked in a low voice, "You really won't lock me up with a gold chain?"
Gu Xing was silent for a moment, and said: "If you want, it's not impossible."
"I don't want to." Little Gray Sparrow shook his head hastily, "You don't even know, you were so fierce in the dream, I was so scared that I was about to cry."
Thinking of those dreams, the little gray bird flinched and burrowed into Gu Xing's arms: "You can't do that to me."
"Don't worry, I won't."
"Never."
"Well, forever."
Early in the morning, a bird landed on a rock by the sea, its fluffy feathers were messed up by the sea breeze.
The little gray bird stared at the blue sea in the distance with its obsidian-like eyes, in a daze.
He hadn't seen Gu Xing for two days.
The two came to this Linyun Town three years ago, and lived here incognito, and their lives were fairly stable.
Linyun Town is small, and few foreigners set foot here, so when they arrived, they caused quite a commotion.
However, this place is not exclusive, and it quickly accommodated them, two foreigners, as permanent residents.But it didn't take long for An Ding to come, and the matchmaker who said she was close came to the door.
Gu Xing and Xiao Huique, one handsome and calm, the other handsome and cute, have captured the hearts of many girls since they first arrived.
When the two of them first came here, the situation in the Central Plains was still unstable, and it was unavoidable that extra problems arose. Gu Ting didn't tell others about the real relationship between the two.When the matchmaker came to the door, Gu Xing only replied that he had no intention of getting married for the time being, and politely sent the matchmaker away.
I thought it was just a small episode, but I didn't expect that within a few months, another family came here again.
In just three years, the people who came to kiss each other never stopped.
Not only that, but there are not a few people who deliberately used excuses to get close to Gu Xing in the past.Two days ago, the little gray bird had an awkward fight with Gu Xing because of this matter.
At that time, Gu Xun happened to be away on business, a woman suddenly visited their home and said that she promised Gu Xun to send him some fried dried shrimps.After staying here, Gu Xun opened a private school to teach local children to read, and occasionally went fishing with the locals.That girl is the youngest daughter of a fisherman's family who often takes Gu Xing out to sea, her name is Fuling.
Fishermen who live along the coast don't have so many rules and taboos. Fuling fished everywhere with the fishermen at a young age, and was raised as a boy since she was a child.
These years, Gu Xun and Little Gray Sparrow lived and ate together, and the locals regarded them as two brothers.Poria cocos is the same.Seeing that Little Gray Finch was bored at home alone, she pulled him to tell him interesting stories about going out to sea, and couldn't help but praise Gu Xing's character in her words.
But the little gray sparrow listened, but felt a little uncomfortable.
Emotional Gu Xing is so close to the woman next to him outside?
The little gray sparrow became angrier the more he heard it, held back his anger and sent him away, and angrily changed into his original shape and flew out of the house.
According to common sense, Gu Xing didn't see the little gray bird after returning home, so he must have come out to look for him, but the little gray bird waited until dark, and no one came to look for him.After returning home, Gu Xun left him a note, saying that he went fishing with the fishermen.
——The little gray bird flew out of the house again in anger.
"Stupid Gu Xing." The little gray bird stared at the distant sea and said angrily.
Suddenly, there was a voice not far away.
The little gray sparrow was startled, flapped its wings and jumped off the rock, hid in the crevice of the rock and poked its head out.Two women walked over with some fishing nets, and they should be preparing to dry the nets.
One of the women skillfully spread the fishing net on the beach, then turned her head and asked, "Alan, is your husband still the same? Doing nothing at home all day?"
Ah Lan sighed: "That's not true. Since getting married, that dead ghost only eats, drinks, and has fun all day long, and doesn't do any work. I really envy your husband-in-law, who is hardworking, capable, and considerate."
The woman beside him smiled and said: "That's different. My husband is a married man, so he dare not stop working. If he doesn't work and annoys my father, he will be kicked out of the house."
The two spread out the fishing net on the beach, knelt down on the ground again, and took out the fishing line from their arms to mend the damaged fishing net.
Alan worked skillfully, and then complained: "It's fine if you don't work, and you are angry with me all day long, dislike this and that, and don't understand my hard work outside at all. How can he do this?"
Another woman also said: "That's not okay, you have to talk to him carefully. If my husband wants to do this, I don't want him long ago."
The two quickly finished their work, left a beach of laid fishing nets, and left the beach.
The little gray finch flew out from behind the reef, staring thoughtfully at the fishing nets that fell on the ground.
He heard what those two people said just now.
The little gray sparrow buried her head in her chest and combed the disheveled feathers on her chest, bringing some introspection to her originally depressed mind.
During the time he was with Gu Xing, he never did any work.
In fact, the two of them are not short of money. Living in Linyun Town, even if they don't work like ordinary people, they can still live comfortably.But after leaving Chang'an, life is different after all.
They can no longer be as carefree as before, and no one will help them with cooking and washing, and they have to do everything by themselves.
But Gu Xun never let him touch anything, even if he came here, the little gray bird still had to eat and play every day, and enjoyed the care that Gu Xun gave him as it should.
It seems... It's not as good as the woman named A Lan just now, the gentleman in her mouth.
Could it be because of this that Gu Xun didn't want him and went to find someone else.
The morning sea breeze, with its salty dampness, ruffled the feathers of the little bullfinch.He couldn't comb it smoothly, and fell on his back on the reef, looking like he was giving up on himself.
In the past, when Gu Xun went to sea, he would always tell him when to leave and when to return. He had never left in such a hurry like this time.
He won't really come back, will he?
The more the little gray bird thought about it, the more he felt uncertain. He suddenly jumped up from the reef, flapped his wings, and flew towards the blue sea.
The sky was getting dark, there was a big storm on the sea, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if heavy rain was coming.A fishing boat was tethered to the shore, swaying under the beating of the sea.
A bonfire was lit on the coast, and Gu Xun sat on the reef, staring at the rough sea in the distance.
He was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but his demeanor was still different from others, and he seemed a bit out of place among a group of fishermen.
The light in the sky gradually sank, Gu Xun looked into the distance, and sighed in his heart.
For some reason, from this morning until now, he has been feeling uneasy.However, due to the bad weather at sea today, the fleet was unable to continue sailing and was forced to rest on an island some distance away from Linyun Town.
He didn't go back for so long, and he didn't know if that silly bird would be worried.
"Brother Lu, drink some water." A female voice sounded behind him.Gu Xun turned his head away, and Fu Ling handed him a kettle.
After coming here, in order to deceive others, Gu Xun changed his name to Lu Xun.
Gu Xun took the kettle: "Thank you."
Fu Ling has just passed Ji's age, but she doesn't have the restrained rules of girls in her usual boudoir.She sat down next to Gu Xing carelessly, and said, "My father said that he can return early in the morning, Brother Lu, don't worry."
"it is good."
Fu Ling wanted to say something again, but saw a dark mass flying towards their direction on the surface of the sea.
The thing wobbled in the wind and rain, as if it had no strength, it fell from mid-air before it could even reach the two of them.Before Fu Ling could react, Gu Xun suddenly got up and jumped forward, and when the little thing was about to hit the rock, he firmly received the person in his palm.

A little gray bird was lying on his palm with its belly upturned, its chest heaving slightly, as if it was exhausted.

He had been flying on the sea for too long, and after the light gray feathers were stained with water vapor, the color became a little darker, sticking to his body sticky, making his figure look unprecedented. Petite, as if rolled in the water and picked up again.
But he was still in good spirits, his dark eyes blinked, and there was a bit of joy in his voice: "Ah, I finally found you."
Seeing him like this, Gu Xing was worried at first, and then immediately became angry again.He was about to have a seizure when the fishermen on the beach heard the movement and ran to him one after another.
Fu Ling also jumped off the rock and exclaimed, "Brother Lu, your hand!"
It was only later that Gu Xun realized that the clothes on his arms had been cut by rough stones, a little blood seeped out, and soon stained the sleeves with blood.
"Ah, Ah Xun—" Little Gray Bird also found that Gu Xun was injured, and was about to speak when the other party suddenly reached out and patted him on the back.The words of the little gray sparrow changed into a different tone when it came to his mouth, and suddenly turned into a chirping sparrow.
The fishermen only cared about Gu Xing's injury, and didn't notice the strangeness of the little gray bird.
Gu Xun followed the fishermen back to the bonfire, and soon someone helped him get the wound medicine from the boat.Among the accompanying people, only Fu Ling was a woman, so she was naturally entrusted to bandage the wound.
Fu Ling took clean water to help Gu Xing clean the wound, and then meticulously gave the wound medicine.
The little gray bird squatted in the palm of Gu Xing's hand, seeing the slender and terrifying wound on the other's arm, the look in his eyes darkened a bit.The little gray sparrow chirped twice, and rubbed its little head against Gu Xing's fingers.
Fu Ling noticed the little gray sparrow in Gu Xing's hand, and asked with a smile: "This little bird is so cute, as if he knew that Big Brother Lu was trying to save it from being injured."
Gu Xing touched the little gray bird's head with his free hand, and his eyes softened immediately: "Cute is cute, but a little silly."
Where is he stupid? !
The little gray sparrow chirped non-stop, lowered its head and pecked Gu Xing's finger to vent its anger.
Seeing him like this, instead of being angry, Gu Xun couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth.During the bandage, Poria looked up at Gu Xun's expression, and tilted his head in wonder.
Isn't it just a bird, as for showing such... gentle eyes?
It's like looking at your own wife.
Fu Ling was taken aback by her own thoughts, and suddenly felt that her presence was particularly intrusive, so she simply helped Gu Xing finish bandaging, and found an excuse to leave the campfire.
The night was getting dark, and all the fishermen slept in the camp, and soon only Gu Xing and the little gray bird were left by the campfire.
Gu Xun fanned the bonfire a bit more, and held the little gray sparrow, which was shivering from the sea breeze, to the fire, and asked him to dry his feathers.
Gu Xun looked down at the pitiful appearance of the little gray bird, and taught a lesson: "Now you know it's cold? Flying so far to find me, you don't want to die?"
The little gray bird was shivering from the cold, intermittently aggrieved: "I didn't know it was so far..."
He actually didn't know where Gu Xun went to sea, but he stayed with Gu Xing for a long time, so he could feel this person's aura to some extent.He followed that faint breath and flew forward. Halfway through the flight, he realized that the coastline was gradually moving away from him, surrounded by sea water, and even if he wanted to go back, he couldn't go back.
He could only keep going forward, and after flying for a whole day, he finally found Gu Xing.
Fortunately, the little gray bird is now a demon. If it was just an ordinary bird, it might have died long ago.
Gu Xing sighed deeply, not wanting to argue with him on this issue, and asked again: "So... what exactly are you looking for me for?"
The little gray sparrow paused, then raised its head and said, "I just want to see you. I'm worried that you haven't come back like this."
Seeing him like this, Gu Xing's heart softened a little. He rubbed the little gray bird's head and said, "Didn't I leave you a letter before I came out? Didn't you see it?"
The little gray bird hesitated.
Thinking of the two fisher girls she met this morning, Little Gray Bird suddenly didn't want Gu Xing to know that she was blindly jealous and had a unilateral fight with Gu Xing.
He avoided Gu Xing's eyes and said in a low voice, "I saw it."
Gu Xing frowned, and asked, "Then why did you come to see me?"
The little gray sparrow didn't answer, he flew to the fire and shook his still wet feathers.Gu Xing narrowed his eyes, keenly aware that he was hiding something, but he didn't ask any more questions.
At night, the sea breeze was getting stronger, and the wet feathers stuck to the little bullfinch's body, which was bitingly cold.He unconsciously approached the fire, and the sparks almost splashed on him.Gu Xing hurriedly picked him up from the fire.
With lingering fears in his heart, Gu Xing scolded, "You want to roast yourself?"
The little gray bird was also taken aback. He sat in Gu Xing's hand and burrowed into his cuff: "I don't want to, but...it's really cold."
Gu Xing was silent for a moment, then said: "There is another way"
The little gray bird stopped moving: "What?"
Gu Xun said: "When you change back to human form, you won't be cold after drying your body."
"Yes." The little gray bird blinked and looked around, "But there are people around here, will they be seen by others?"
Gu Xing stood up and walked towards the camp with the little gray bird.
There are tents on the fishing boat all the year round, Gu Xun doesn't like to get too close to people, so he intentionally pitches his tent farther away.Gu Xun carried the little gray bird into the tent, and before he could speak, the little gray bird flew out of his hands, and its round body rolled onto the simple bed in the tent.
A ray of light flashed in the tent, and a naked boy knelt on the bed, smiled at Gu Xun and rolled his eyes: "Really, it won't be so cold this way."
Gu Xun's movements froze.
He turned around calmly, blocked the tent tightly, took a veil and walked to the side of the bed, sat down and wiped the little gray bird.
By the way, when he was brushing himself, he took out the method of Minister Zongzhengsi and "tortured" in detail what the little gray bird was hiding from him.
……
Under Gu Xing's coercion, the little gray bird quickly told the truth, but even so, Gu Xing still refused to let him go.
The two stayed in the camp, and the little gray bird was worried that someone might hear something, so he didn't dare to make a sound, and was tossed harder and harder.Gu Xing tossed him for most of the night, and it was already late at night when the little gray bird fell asleep.
After falling asleep, the little gray bird fell into a strange dream in a daze.
The little gray bird fluttered its wings in the huge space, surrounded by darkness, he called Gu Xing's name loudly, but received no response.Suddenly, a little light came on not far ahead, and the little gray bird blinked and flew towards the place where the light was.
Behind the light is a familiar bedroom.
He saw Gu Xun in the prince's wedding dress standing in the bedroom, and beside the bed in front of him was a woman also wearing a wedding dress.
Gu Xun stepped forward and slowly lifted the woman's red hijab. It was a strange face.
That's not a gray bird.
Standing behind the screen, the little gray bird watched Gu Xun and the woman drink the wine, watched Gu Xun slowly remove the wedding robe on his body, and put his finger on the button of the woman's clothes...
"Ah!" The little gray bird couldn't bear it anymore and said, he walked forward, only to realize that he had changed back to a human form at some point.The little gray sparrow couldn't care less, grabbed Gu Xun's wrist and asked, "Ah Xun, how can you marry someone else?"
Gu Xing turned his head away from him, his voice seemed to be suppressing something: "Que'er, you shouldn't be here."
"You...you're not Ah Jun..."
It was clearly the same face, but he felt that Gu Xun's appearance was very strange, so strange that he was a little scared.
This realization made Little Gray Que unable to bear back half a step, but Gu Xun followed closely and clasped his wrist with his backhand: "Que'er, where do you want to go?"
The voice suddenly became ethereal, and the little gray bird felt as if he had stepped on the ground and fell into a bottomless void that was deeper than before.
When the feeling of falling completely disappeared, the little gray bird opened his eyes, and he was in a hut.
The furnishings in the house are simple, there are no windows, and the candle flames on the wall dance faintly.The little gray bird sat up, but there was a crisp sound of metal collision.
On his slender wrist, a small gold chain was tied, making his skin even fairer.
One end of the gold chain was tied to a corner of the bed, just enough to accommodate his activities in the cabin.
Only then did the little gray bird notice that the walls of this hut were covered with a thin layer of gold, just like the golden silk cage that Gu Xun used to lock him up in the palace in the past.
There was a rustling sound of iron chains outside the door, the door of the hut was opened, and Gu Xing walked in with a gloomy expression.
The little gray bird pursed its lips, and pulled the gold chain on its hand: "Ah, you let me go, why did you lock me up here."
Hearing his voice, Gu Xing's expression became even more gloomy.He walked forward slowly, gently clasped the wrist of the little gray bird, put it on his lips and kissed it lightly: "You are not allowed to go."
The little gray bird moved uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "Ah, what are you talking about, let me go?"
"Impossible." Gu Xun's eyes were bloodshot, he forced the slender boy back on the bed, his voice was hoarse, "Let me let you go, who do you want to go to? Even you want to betray me, right?"
The clothes on the little gray bird's shoulders were torn, and with the sound of cloth shattering, Gu Xing's voice sounded softly: "You can't go anywhere, you can only stay by my side, you can only be by my side..."
"Don't, don't—" Little Grayfinch sat up abruptly, seeing a slightly crude tent in front of him.
There is no gorgeous palace, and no gilded huts. He smelled the smell of fresh sea water in the tent, and he didn't recover for a long time.
Suddenly, someone embraced him from behind.
A familiar breath covered him, and a lazy voice rang in his ear: "Did you have a nightmare?"
The little gray bird turned his head away, and Gu Xing looked down at him with his usual gentle expression.
"Ah..." The little gray sparrow's nose soured, and she buried herself in Gu Xun's arms, her voice almost crying.
Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, and stroked the back of the little gray bird twice: "It's just a dream, why are you so scared? Tell me, what did you dream about?"
The little gray bird whispered: "...dream of you."
Gu Xing laughed: "I dreamed that I scared you like this?"
He thought that he had always been gentle with Little Gray Finch, even in bed, he was always considerate of the other person's feelings. Although he used some tough methods to press Little Gray Finch last night, it should be within the range that this person can bear.
How could it scare people into nightmares?
The little gray bird calmed down a bit, but the content of the dream still made him more and more wronged, the little gray bird leaned against Gu Xing's arms, and accused: "I dreamed that you married someone else to be the princess."
"Which year is this old?" Gu Xun silently, "Not to mention that my wedding banquet was messed up by myself, even if I really married the princess, didn't I also marry you?"
"But it wasn't me in the dream." The little gray bird muttered, "... I don't know where the little fairy came from."
Gu Xing smiled helplessly, and said, "What else did you dream about?"
The little gray bird shrank its neck, as if it still had lingering fears: "I dreamed that you locked me up, tied my hands with gold chains, and bullied me...it made me feel very uncomfortable."
Gu Xing couldn't stand listening, so he raised his hand and tapped the little gray bird's forehead: "What are you thinking about all day long? I... How could I do that kind of thing."
The little gray bird held its forehead in pain, and whispered: "I don't know why I have this kind of dream... Maybe it's because I'm worried that you don't want me."
Gu Xun frowned and asked, "What nonsense, why don't I want you?"
The little gray sparrow said: "I don't know how to work, I eat too much, and I'm always angry with you. I heard the fisher girl say that if her husband-in-law looks like this, she won't want her husband-in-law long ago. So I'm worried... ..."
"Stupid bird." Gu Xun rubbed the little gray bird's hair, and said warmly, "I'm different from them, and also from the person in your dream, I won't want you."
"really?"
"Of course." Gu Xun hugged him and lay back on the bed, and said, "If you are still not at ease, we will hold a wedding banquet after we go back, and according to local customs, we will get married again."
"Okay." Little Gray Bird nodded, thought of something else, and added, "Don't worry, I will learn to do housework and catch fish and set nets when I get back. I must take good care of you."
Gu Xun said: "You don't have to..."
"Why not, I am your husband-in-law, of course I have to do this."
"...Okay, you are my husband."
It was still early, and the tent returned to silence.Hearing the sound of the sea water beating against the rocks outside the tent, the little gray bird was still a little scared, and asked in a low voice, "You really won't lock me up with a gold chain?"
Gu Xing was silent for a moment, and said: "If you want, it's not impossible."
"I don't want to." Little Gray Sparrow shook his head hastily, "You don't even know, you were so fierce in the dream, I was so scared that I was about to cry."
Thinking of those dreams, the little gray bird flinched and burrowed into Gu Xing's arms: "You can't do that to me."
"Don't worry, I won't."
"Never."
"Well, forever."
