Chapter 40 (6.17 two more)

Having decided to find Gu Chusheng, Chu Yu immediately ordered people, prepared silver bills, dry food, weapons and medicinal materials, brought a casual doctor and the dark guard given to her by Wei Yun, and left the house overnight.

She traveled day and night to Kunyang to meet Wei Qiu first. Gu Chusheng has always felt that "the most dangerous place is the safest place", and he is afraid that he will not leave Kunyang immediately. He should stay in Kunyang for a while. After letting Yao Yong relax his vigilance, he started on the road.

After Chu Yu arrived in Kunyang with a pseudonym, Wei Qiu led Chu Yu to the place where Gu Chusheng disappeared. Now the water flow has slowed down a lot compared to the previous days, Wei Qiu pointed to the position where Gu Chusheng fell into the water and said, "He Just jumped from here."

"Isn't anyone seeing you after jumping off?" Chu Yu looked at the river and surveyed the surroundings.

Wei Qiu frowned: "The person suddenly disappeared."

Chu Yu didn't speak, this moat was familiar to Chu Yu. After all, she and Gu Chusheng spent many years in Kunyang, guarding the stone lion beside the moat. The bottom was actually hollow. When the river passed, it drowned the bottom. However, there is about half a person's space, and the opening above the stone lion is where the airflow passes, which is completely a place for hiding people.

If people are struggling to go somewhere in the river, at least they have to come up to breathe, it is impossible to disappear like this, the only possibility is that Gu Chusheng did not go far and hid here.

The road to enter the inner belly of the stone lion is somewhat tortuous, and Chu Yu couldn't explain it for a while, and was worried that the people who went there were not careful enough to observe the environment, in case they missed any marks left by Gu Chusheng.

So Chu Yu looked at the stone lion and asked someone to tie a rope around her waist, climb down personally, and after falling into the river, she held her breath and came to the hollow below the stone lion, then stuck her head out.

It was daylight at this time, light fell from the lion's mouth, and Chu Yu could see the mottled blood on the wall.

The bloodstain didn't seem to have been left for a long time. After Chu Yu looked at the color and volume of the blood, she probably determined that Gu Chusheng was not poisoned or seriously injured. When she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a symbol.

The symbol was carved with something sharp, and it looked extremely small, but Chu Yu still recognized the meaning of the symbol—

East.

Chu Yu reacted.

This was actually a secret phrase she created when she was playing with Gu Chusheng and Chu Jin. Later, she also used this method to communicate with Gu Chusheng in emergencies. But at this moment, why did Gu Chusheng leave this trace here?

Is it him and his own people who are using this as a code word now, or is it...

He knew she was coming?!

Chu Yu was stunned for a while, it was a bit ridiculous for a while, Gu Chusheng actually counted her back to find him at this time?!

Yes, fifteen-year-old Chu Yu was infatuated with him, and he was not stupid. He knew her friendship clearly. Now that he was in trouble, and he had surrendered to the Wei mansion, he would naturally guess that she would come to him.

Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny, this person thinks too highly of herself, she is already married, does he think she is so charming?

Chu Yu plunged into the water and swam back to the shore. Changyue and Wanyue hurriedly stepped forward to set up the curtain and let Chu Yu change clothes, and then listened to Chu Yu carrying the sword: "Go upstream to find it."

Gu Chusheng was injured, in fact, it would be more labor-saving to go downstream, and to go upstream, that is, to go against the water, and don't know where he got the physical strength to do such a thing.

But such a choice is indeed safer. Chu Yu is not surprised by Gu Chusheng's choice. He has always been a man who has always pushed himself to a desperate situation, not once or twice.

Chu Yu took the people upstream to search for it, and soon heard someone shouting: "The branches here are crushed!"

Chu Yu rushed to the edge of the river, brushed aside the branches to check for a moment, then twisted a handful of soil, sniffed carefully, and then got up and said, "Let's go."

The smell of blood soaked in the soil should be Gu Chusheng passing through here.

It's just that he has always been careful, but he can't even clean up the traces, which shows that his situation is indeed not optimistic.

Gu Chusheng left a mark of "East" for her, and she kept looking for it along the east side. After walking for a while, she heard someone say, "Madam, there are rags here."

Chu Yu glanced at the blood-stained steps, and saw that Changyue had already swept out. After a while, Changyue's voice came: "Madam, there are broken branches here, they should have gone from here."

Chu Yu didn't speak. Gu Chusheng's accidental mistakes may exist, but they leave traces such as broken steps and broken branches that clearly guide the route?

Impossible, not his character.

Chu Yu thought for a moment, looked at the east where no one was passing by, and said calmly, "Continue the search to the east."

Everyone was a little surprised, and there was indeed no trace of people in the east.

But no one dared to say anything more, so they followed Chu Yu and searched eastward. After searching into the night, everyone was a little tired. Changyue found a cave and went out with Chu Yu: "Madam, let's go to the cave to rest for the night?"

Chu Yu was also a little tired. After responding, Wei Qiu lit the torch and walked into the cave.

The Wei family secretly guarded to open the way, Wanyue Changyue and Chu Yu's people followed behind to guard, Chu Yu walked in the center, holding a sword, and his footsteps were a little unsteady.

After a day of searching like this, Chu Yu was also a little tired. She wanted to take a rest early and search again after she had rested.

Wei Qiu led people into the cave. The cave was rugged. Wei Qiu respectfully said, "Madam, be careful with your feet."

As soon as Chu Yu stepped into the cave, at this moment, the torch in Wei Qiu's hand went out. Hearing Gu Chusheng's voice hoarse, he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."

He smelled of a mixture of soil and blood, his breath was short, and he was obviously very weak. The hand he touched on her was scorching hot, which was especially obvious when compared to the icy cold at the tip of the knife. Chu Yu didn't speak, Wei Qiu lit the torch and saw Chu Yu being held in front of him by Gu Chusheng. Gu Chusheng held a sharp blade and said coldly, "Don't move anyone, otherwise I can't guarantee this lady..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Chusheng's eyes fell on Chang Yue's angry face, and his voice suddenly stopped. After a while, he realized who was coming.

It's Chu Yu.

It was Chu Yu who was thinking about it all day long and tried his best to go back to Huajing to meet him!

His heart was beating fast, and he didn't know what to say for a while, until Chu Yu's icy voice sounded: "Take the knife away."

Hearing this, Gu Chusheng hurriedly put away the knife and hid the hidden knife in his sleeve. Chu Yu immediately backed away from her, Wei Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to stand between Gu Chusheng and Chu Yu, and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Chusheng's eyes fell on Chu Yu, unable to move away at all.

Fifteen-year-old Chu Yu didn't have the dead air she had in her last life. At this moment, she was still full of vigor and activity, and even when she really saw her, she suddenly felt that the fifteen-year-old Chu Yu was still alive. Yu, but also with a calm and calm that was not there later.

Why didn't you see it back then?

Gu Chusheng looked at Chu Yu in front of him, and looked back at himself as a teenager.

He spent 20 years entangled with Chu Yu, and 20 years after Chu Yu's death to recall the time when she was alive, and then in this memory, he fell a little bit and chased until he couldn't extricate himself.

The young man was too proud. At that time, he clearly liked this person, but every time he was rescued by her, he would feel deeply powerless and embarrassed.

She is not someone who can speak gently, and her mind is so straight that she can't even think about what she said. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but he has experienced a family change, and he has such a sensitive temperament.

So every unintentional word she said would become a humiliation and ridicule in his heart.

When they were chased and killed, she carried him and said with a smile, "Gu Chusheng, you are too weak, you are like a big girl, you will still have to rely on me to eat in the future.

Now that think about it, such words are so cute, but he only felt humiliated and angry back then, so he went back and picked up the sword, and every afternoon in the courtyard, he could not beat the sword until she could no longer beat him.

They missed too many years until she died.

He habitually pretended to be calm, but slowly recalled the past in the emptiness day after day, until he died under Wei Yun's sword, he thought in a trance, "If Ayu was here, he would definitely not be willing to see him like this" Only then did I suddenly realize that if I really didn't like it at all back then, why would I practice hard in the courtyard every day for many years just for the sake of saying a word?

When he looked at Chu Yu who was talking to Changyue in front of him and raised his hand to touch the knife mark on his neck, he couldn't help but blushed and his lips trembled.

Wei Qiu saw that Gu Chusheng kept silent, stared at Chu Yu, and even started to cry, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable panic, he stepped forward, blocked Gu Chusheng's sight, and shouted: "What are you looking at? Can you watch my Madam Weifu?!"

In the Huajing noble mansion, there is only one person who can be called the eldest lady, and that is the woman in charge of the backyard of the family. Now that Liu Xueyang has stepped back and is no longer in charge, although Wei Yun became the Marquis of Zhenbei and never married, the name of the First Lady of the Wei House fell on the former wife of the prince.

Hearing this title, Gu Chusheng suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing Chu Yu looking over, he hurriedly lowered his head and calmed his mind, fearing that others would see his thoughts, he took a step back and said, "Sorry, it is inevitable to meet an old friend suddenly. gaffe."

He forced the heat in his eyes back, closed his eyes and calmed down, then raised his head again, smiled slowly at the crowd, and cupped his hands: "Gu Chusheng, I have seen the eldest lady."

Chu Yu didn't speak. She looked at Gu Chusheng in front of her and felt that the person in front of her was a bit weird.

She looked at him, he had never liked to smile at her in the past. Gu Chusheng is a person who is good at dancing in foreign affairs. Everyone says that he has a good temper, but he has never had a good face towards her. He is either cynical or indifferent.

But at this moment, he looked at her quietly, there was still water vapor in his eyes, and there was a near-perfect smile on his lips. However, that smile did not make people feel hypocritical, but made Chu Yu feel that he seemed...

He seems to want to use the best posture to face her.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu felt ridiculous.

She restrained her wild ideas, walked out from behind Wei Qiu, saluted Gu Chusheng, and said respectfully: "I have seen Master Gu, and my concubine came here on the order of the State Marquis to protect Master Gu from entering the capital, I don't know how Master Gu is at the moment, can you set off immediately?"

Chu Yu's icy attitude made Gu Chusheng stunned for a while, but he immediately understood again. Chu Yu is a very responsible person. Since she is married to Wei Jun, even if Wei Jun dies, as long as she is the first lady of the Wei family, she will protect the reputation of the Wei family and will never do anything to harm the Wei family. It's a matter of family reputation, let alone something sorry for Wei Jun.

Back then, when she became Mrs. Gu, she was so demanding of herself that the house was turned upside down, and she didn't embarrass him more than half when she was outside. He was the person she had eloped with, and now that she sees him, she naturally has to keep a distance.

Gu Chusheng felt sour in his heart, but he also cooperated with Chu Yu. He didn't say much, just said, "Okay."

As he said that, he looked up at Chu Yu and said gently, "Whatever you say is fine."

Hearing this, everyone present felt a strange feeling in their hearts. Chu Yu pretended not to hear anything, raised her hand and said, "Sir, please."

Gu Chusheng nodded and supported himself to go out.

He was obviously injured and his clothes were stained with blood, but he didn't say a word. Chu Yu said to let him go, and he left.

Changyue and Wanyue knew the past of the two, although it was a bit strange, but they were able to guess how much they were, and they didn't say much.

The Wei family's secret guard couldn't hold it in any longer. A group of people followed behind Chu Yu, and one of them couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Wei Qiu, "That thief looked at the eldest lady in the wrong way."

"Do you think I'm blind?"

Wei Qiu glanced at the past lightly, and Gu Chusheng's gaze was no longer a frenzy to describe. Wei Qiu held the sword and said coldly, "But he's not doing anything right now. Let's watch first. When we get to Huajing, there will be a little Marquis who will take care of him."

"What would he do if he didn't come to Huajing?"

Wei Qiu said nothing, and after a while, he said slowly, "Then it depends on what the eldest lady means."

While the guards were murmuring behind, Gu Chusheng followed behind Chu Yu and went outside to lead the horse.

Chu Yu walked fast, and didn't take care of him at all, and even felt a little irritable because he followed him like that.

She doesn't want to be involved so much with Gu Chusheng, it's enough to be involved in a lifetime, but also in this life?

Don't even think about it!

Chu Yu couldn't help but quicken her pace, but Gu Chusheng followed unhurriedly. His wound was bleeding due to his too much movement, but he didn't feel any pain. He followed behind Chu Yu and watched Chu Yu live by his side. , he felt a touch of sweetness coming up.

Chu Yu walked to the horse, only to find that Gu Chusheng's wound was bleeding again when she turned around. She frowned and asked, "Are you really able to hold on?"

If she died on the way, she would be in vain this time.

Hearing Chu Yu asking him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a huge ecstasy surge up.

No matter how she hides it, she still likes him after all!

He pursed his lips and lowered his head to hide his smile. Chu Yu was so frightened that his scalp was numb, and he always felt that the person in front of him seemed to have a hole in his head and could not be regarded as a normal person.

"OK."

Gu Chusheng whispered: "Don't worry, you're by my side, I'll be fine."

Hearing this, Chu Yu suddenly had the urge to curse. She had also learned a lot of swear words in the military camp, but she became Mrs. Gu and was corrected by him for many years before she changed it. Seeing him again now, he was able to give her the ability to review her skills in such a short period of time, which is considered a skill.

She turned her head with a stern face, turned on the horse and said, "I think you are in good shape, get on the horse."

Gu Chusheng smiled lightly, tilted his head and said, "Okay."

With that said, he tried to get on the horse. But he was so weak that he couldn't climb up a few times. Everyone next to him got on his horse and waited, so he was crawling with difficulty.

He didn't ask anyone for help, he just competed here. Chu Yu didn't understand why Gu Chusheng was like this. She was a little confused and said in a cold voice, "Wei Qiu, help him."

Wei Qiu was stunned for a while, then showed disgust, raised his hand to support Gu Chusheng, and as soon as Gu Chusheng got on the horse, Chu Yu rushed out.

Gu Chusheng hurriedly patted the horse to catch up, the horse bumped so much blood between his lips and teeth, Wanyue glanced at it and couldn't help but be quite worried, she was always careful, she went up to chase after Chu Yu, and whispered: "Young Master Gu looks like It's not very good, if it goes on like this, Madam, what are you angry about, you should wait until the matter of Xiaohou Ye is done before sending it."

Hearing this, Chu Yu was slightly taken aback.

Yes, what is she so annoying and angry about?

Gu Chusheng, who is now seventeen years old, is not sorry for her. She insisted on chasing him, and he resisted with all his might, besides, they didn't really have much intersection before the age of seventeen.

Even if there was, it was just that, on the battlefield at the age of twelve, Gu Chusheng saved her.

After that, during the festivals, Gu Chusheng came to visit the Chu family, gave Chu Jin a gift, and gave her a gift. Then play with Chu Jin, and she will accompany her.

In the last encounter, it was only after he was down and out that she unilaterally gave him something, wrote him a love letter, and asked him to elope.

He returned all the things she gave him for a penny. And her letter about eloping with him was also sent back by him.

At the age of seventeen, Gu Chusheng was nothing but someone who didn't like her.

No amount of resentment should take revenge on those who did nothing.

In order to vent anger to take revenge on an innocent person, even if his anger is because of that person in the future, this is also a kind of evil.

A person may not be good, but not evil.

Chu Yu slowly calmed down. She glanced at Gu Chusheng who was following closely behind, slowed down the horse, and said lightly to the people behind: "Slow down, don't be in a hurry."

After hearing Chu Yu's order, everyone slowed down. Chu Yu called and threw a bottle of medicine to Gu Chusheng, and said calmly, "I eat first to replenish my strength, and I'll get to the inn soon. I'll ask you to see a doctor."

Hearing her words, Gu Chusheng raised his eyebrows and said gently, "Well."

Chu Yu stopped looking at him and walked forward. Gu Chusheng held the bottle, opened the cap, ate one carefully, and placed it on his chest.

After walking for about half an hour, the group found an out-of-home inn. Gu Chusheng was injured and easily attracted people's attention, so Chu Yu asked someone to put a robe on him, and then asked Wei Qiu to support him, pretending to be a sick and weak boy traveling with his sister, and staying in the inn .

Gu Chusheng coughed and went to the guest room, while others in the hotel were still chatting.

"Yao Yong captured that Gu Chusheng in the entire state capital, and the reward was 20,000 taels of gold. If I can get it, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life!"

Chu Yu glanced at the two of them and said nothing. Gu Chu disguised himself, and his expression was magnanimous, and he passed in front of the two of them without recognizing them.

Gu Chusheng entered the inn, and fell down as soon as he entered. Wei Qiu hurriedly called the doctor over. After the doctor came in to diagnose Gu Chusheng's pulse, he quickly prescribed a prescription and took it down.

Some of them were very precious and could never be obtained in this backcountry. Fortunately, Chu Yu was well prepared when he came. These commonly used precious medicinal herbs were all available.

A group of people were busy all night, and Gu Chusheng finally calmed down. The doctor wiped a cold sweat and said with some emotion: "This person is really cruel. Ordinary people like him have fallen down long ago."

Chu Yu didn't speak, she looked at Gu Chusheng's frowning brows in his sleep, and couldn't help but feel a little respect in her heart.

"Okay." She looked at the sky outside, and said to the people next to her: "Wei Qiu arranges the rest. If you have to rush tomorrow, don't waste it."

"Yes."

Wei Qiu took the order, and Chu Yu walked out with Mingyue and Changyue. Before going out, she heard Gu Chusheng whispering hoarsely, "Ayu..."

Chu Yu was stunned for a while, and then she plucked out her ears.

She thought she might be hallucinating.

Next to him, Changyue was a little puzzled by her actions, and said strangely, "Madam, what are you doing?"

"Hurry up and give me a candy pill," Chu Yu hurriedly stretched out her hand and said with a look of horror, "I have to suppress myself."

The author has something to say: the next update is probably in the early morning, and I will tell the time on Weibo.

【small theater】

Mo Shubai: "When did you realize that you are not the male lead?"

Gu Chusheng: "It started when Ayu saw that I couldn't get on the horse and asked Wei Qiu to help me. Isn't it normal that she couldn't bear to pull me on the horse and then ride the horse to share the prosperity of the world?!"

[The author has something to say]

In order to prevent everyone from guessing and then not guessing right and causing anger, I will tell you the logic of my writing. My writing has always been based on growth and fulfillment, never giving up light in the extremely dark plot. The characters gradually improve their incomplete characters in the plot. Therefore, there has never been a plot where a particularly bad character appears and then the heroine slaps the face and kills the Quartet. Everyone, please don't have such expectations.

sweet text

, we must bear this in mind.

As for the handling of the retribution of good and evil in the plot, what I have always advocated is to repay grievances with directness and repay virtue with virtue. This is also the original sentence of how to repay virtue.

The so-called fairness and integrity, I am in accordance with the existing judicial concept:

A person has evil thoughts, but does not carry them out, it is not a sin;

A person sets out to implement, but fails, lighten up;

A committed crime, but there is repentance, or there is a reason, can be saved, but can be mitigated.

This is my justice.

For example, Chu Jin, what she did in her previous life, she did not end well in her previous life, it is over. I didn't do it in my life, I'm not guilty;

She has done three things in her life:

1. Tricked Chu Yu to go down the well - As the author, I arranged for Chu Linyang to punish her, and she was also punished for going down the well.

2. Instigating Chu Yu to elope to become the young lady of the Wei family - this move is not even an instigator, and it was unsuccessful. The punishment was that in order to retaliate against her, Chu Yu pushed her to marry Gu Chusheng, who was unwilling to marry (although it failed)

3. Destroy Chu Yu's reputation - if it fails, the corresponding punishment is Chu Linyang's punishment and Chu Yu's warning.

Then she was forced to apologize, and she revealed her heart with Chu Yu and apologized sincerely, and she began to gradually become qualified to find happiness.

This is my way, as a writer, to judge the fate of a character.

The same is true for all other characters. If they are kind people, they will be rewarded, and if they are malicious people, they will be punished accordingly. Therefore, when speculating on the plot, there is generally not much deviation based on this logic.
