Green Lantern Bond

Chapter 6 Relief

As soon as Chongyun and Gong Ruxue walked out of Gong's house, they saw Liu Hanyi half lying and half leaning on the trunk of a willow tree outside the house. Seeing the two coming out, he jumped down from the tree and looked at them sadly.

Before Gong Ruxue could speak, Chong Yun apologized first: "I'm really sorry for making Brother Liu wait so long."

Liu Hanyi was about to burst into a fit of anger, but Zhongyun looked apologetic, but he was too embarrassed to say it, and felt uncomfortable all over.He shook his fan, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how long I have been waiting for you? An hour! Dare I ask you two to go to a private meeting?"

Gong Ruxue's expression was indifferent, unmoved: "It's because you came too early, the heavy clouds have just risen."

Chongyun cooperated and said, "I got up too late."

Liu Hanyi glanced between the two of them faintly, then waved his hands reluctantly: "Forget it, forget it, it's not an example."

Chongyun smiled and said yes.Liu Hanyi happily took Chongyun's shoulder with one hand, and Gong Ruxue's arm with the other, and said, "Then let's go, let's talk first, I will arrange all the itineraries for today."

Chong Yun did everything according to his wishes: "Yes." Gong Ruxue never considered such things, so naturally she did not object.

Together with Liu Hanyi, the two walked across the covered bridge outside Gong's mansion. The early morning mist had not yet cleared, and there were hazy shadows far and near.The three of them walked here, as if they had entered an illusion.

"The market is in front, shall we go shopping?" Liu Hanyi suggested.

The two had no objection.

There were people coming and going in the market, and hawkers shouting one after another, but the three young men with extraordinary clothes and handsome appearance attracted some people's attention.

"Big brother, let's buy some flowers." Chongyun was thinking about what gift to buy for Wulan when he was interrupted by a crisp voice.He followed the sound and lowered his head, only to see a little girl who was only half the height of a person carved in pink and jade, holding a flower in one hand, and tugging at his sleeve with the other.

As soon as Chongyun stopped, the two people beside him naturally also stopped.

The three of them stared at the seven or eight-year-old girl together, which made her feel a little scared, and the hand holding Chongyun's clothes trembled unconsciously.She blinked her dark eyes, and said again in a trembling voice: "Big Brother, let's buy some flowers."

Chongyun glanced at the flower in her hand, it was a flower that he could tell at a glance that it would not be a rare variety, and it was wrapped with an ordinary cloth belt.It's just that it's fresh, the color is gorgeous, and the petals are still stained with dew. They were probably picked off early in the morning.

Chongyun squatted down, looked at the little girl, and asked with a smile, "How do you sell these flowers?"

"Ten sticks for a penny." Hearing his question, the little girl felt that he would buy it, and she became eager, "Brother, buy some, I picked them from the mountain this morning."

Liu Hanyi on the side also came over and asked curiously: "Little sister, what about your lord? Why did you come out alone?"

Hearing this, the little girl shrank her neck as if she was frightened, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and her pink face was wrinkled, as if she had been greatly wronged.She murmured, "My mother is sick, and I have to sell flowers to buy her medicine."

As she spoke, the circles of her eyes became more and more red, and her dark eyes were filled with water. Before the three of them could react, they heard the little girl burst into tears, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

The three big men were at a loss for a while, and the eyes of the people around them also looked over. The look was so exciting, and the three of them felt guilty for no reason.

Chongyun patted the little girl's head, and gently comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry, my brother bought all these flowers for you, and your mother will have money to treat her illness."

"Really...really?" the little girl asked, sobbing.

Chongyun smiled and pinched her face: "Of course it is true." Then, he took out a money bag from his cuff, handed it to the little girl, and said gently, "The money here is enough for your mother sick."

"Thank you, big brother, but this is too much." The little girl took the purse and found that the money in it was far more than the money needed to buy flowers, "I don't have that much money."

"Not much, your flowers are worth so much money." Chongyun stretched out his hand, "Now, sell me the flowers, and then use the money to buy medicine for your mother."

The little girl then carefully handed the bouquet in her hand to Chongyun, thanked him solemnly before turning and leaving.

"Brother Chongyun, you are really generous." Liu Hanyi smiled and waved his fan, but there was disapproval in his eyes, "Although I am not saying that your behavior is bad, but have you thought about such a little girl?" , and with so much money on your body, what are the chances of you not being tricked?"

Gong Ruxue nodded in agreement.

Chongyun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that what he had just done was really inappropriate. This place is no different from the ghost world. The ghost world is not big, and all affairs are basically under the control of Judge Yan and others. Few little ghosts dare Making small moves under their noses, and the outside world... He looked at the back of the little girl going away, then glanced around, and found that many people had already set their eyes on the little girl.

"I was negligent." Chongyun shook his head helplessly, pinched a trick with his fingers under the sleeve robe, and a golden light flew out from his fingertips, silently sinking into the little girl's back. "That shouldn't be a big problem."

Seeing this, Liu Hanyi joked: "Brother Chongyun, you are penniless now, how will you buy things later?"

Chong Yun was stunned, then smiled: "Since I am here as a guest, it is natural for you two masters to show their friendship as landlords. How can there be any reason to ask guests to pay the bill?"

"You've run out of good things to say." Liu Hanyi bent his eyes and smiled, and Gong Ruxue's expression softened. "Speaking of which, I didn't expect Brother Chongyun to be such a kind-hearted person. It seems that I know you more deeply."

Chongyun shook his head: "I'm not kind. It's just that this little girl reminds me of a little friend who saved my life a long time ago."

"Oh?" Liu Hanyi immediately put on a look of listening attentively, and Gong Ruxue also turned his attention.

But Chongyun didn't want to say more, this past has disappeared with his death, and now even the person concerned seldom mentions it again, and if he talks about it again, it will only increase his nostalgia and sentimentality.He said: "Actually, it's not a very long story. I was hunted down and fled to this friend's house. At that time, his house was almost uncooked, but I still went up the mountain every day to collect firewood, and then went to the market to sell it." Then buy medicine and come back to treat me."

"This is a kind-hearted girl." Liu Hanyi sighed with emotion at these words, and then looked at Chongyun with a teasing face, "Such a kind person, have you never thought about giving yourself to him?"

"Who said this is a girl?" Chong Yun smiled helplessly, thinking of the boy with gentle brows and eyes who was always shy and blushing, thinking boredly, it's not an exaggeration to call her a girl, I'm afraid it is A little more timid than the girl's family.

Liu Hanyi suddenly lost interest: "Isn't it a girl? Then I'm not interested in listening."

Gong Ruxue at the side gave him a cold look, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

The three of them wandered around the market for a while, and Chongyun finally picked out a wooden Kongming lock to take back.

After a delay, it was nearly noon when we walked out of the market and arrived at Zhuque Bridge.The fog dissipated, and the golden sun shone down from the layers of flowing clouds, making people feel warm.

Chongyun felt a little uncomfortable—he forgot to bring his umbrella.

Wu Xi had reminded him on purpose in the morning, but because of Gong Yuebai's interruption, he forgot about it.

"It's just ahead." Liu Hanyi pointed to a house on the other side of the Zhuque Bridge, "One of the most famous restaurants in Huaizhou City—Lanlinju."

"Let's go." Chongyun raised his hand to wipe off the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and put down his hand only to notice that Gong Ruxue was looking at him, with some melancholy in his eyes.Chongyun smiled, looked up at the brightly lit sky, and said, "It's okay."

"Why don't we go today and find a cool place to rest." Gong Ruxue said.

Chongyun looked at the Suzaku Bridge in the distance. This is not a covered bridge, and there is no shelter on the bridge surface.

Chongyun's heart sank slightly, but he still didn't say much. He didn't want to worry Gong Ruxue who was beside him, and he didn't want to cheer Liu Hanyi up, so he said, "No, there are only a few steps left."

Seeing that he was persistent, Gong Ruxue also nodded and said no more. The two followed Liu Hanyi and walked towards the bridge. Just as they were about to leave, they saw a shadow floating from behind Chongyun.

The two were startled, and turned their heads, only to see a blue oil-paper umbrella lightly resting on Chongyun's shoulder, covering the hot sun above their heads.

Not far away, a snow-white figure was slowly approaching. Even though the eyes were covered with cloth belts, it did not affect the person's calm footsteps at all.

It was Duan Chen who came.

Gong Ruxue bowed to Duan Chen, but Chong Yun didn't move, he stared at Duan Chen's face for a while, until he heard him say, "Your spirit and body are unstable, you'd better take an umbrella", then she stretched out her hand to hold it. Umbrella handle, nodded to Duan Chen: "Thank you, Master."

Duan Chen paused, pinched the green glazed pearl in his hand and did not speak.

Liu Hanyi, who had already walked to the bridge, only noticed this scene at this time, walked back from the bridge quickly, glanced at the several people twice, and asked strangely: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing," Chongyun held up an umbrella, glanced at Duan Chen, and explained to Liu Hanyi, "I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out today. Fortunately, I met Master Duan Chen to save me."

"Oh." Liu Hanyi urged, "Let's go then, I'm almost starving." He looked at Duan Chen hesitantly and asked, "Master, would you like to have dinner with us?"

This was just a casual question, Liu Hanyi naturally knew that people like Duan Chen were not willing to be with ordinary people, let alone juniors like them, even this time the Chonghua Banquet was invited by the Gong family. It took many times to get Duan Chen's nod, so Liu Hanyi just asked politely, not expecting Duan Chen to agree.

... Who knows, he really agreed.

Seeing the moment when Duan Chen nodded after hesitating for two seconds, Liu Hanyi immediately had a ghostly expression on his face, and even Gong Ruxue, who has never had any big ups and downs, was taken aback.

"Then, let's go." Liu Hanyi rarely stuttered, and hastily made a gesture of please, and then realized that Duan Chen couldn't see, and said, "Master, please."

"En. Please." Duan Chen followed behind Liu Hanyi, following his footsteps.His snow-white clothes fluttered with the wind brought by his steps, and when he brushed past Chongyun's side, Chongyun smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.

——A familiar breath.
