Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 39 Painted Skin

After Lan Yuyan stuffed the fly whisk under Gu Yu's mattress, she hid in the dark and watched a series of events that took place in its entirety.He was cold by nature, and had no relationship with Gu Yu and Gu Xianrong and his son, and even hated them a little. Seeing such a tragic situation, he naturally couldn't feel sympathy.

It's just that I don't know how to explain to Gu Huai.

When I returned to Gu Huai's side, it was already early morning.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gu Huai sitting on the bed wearing a thin white tunic, looking at him with slightly raised eyes in confusion.

Lan Yuyan chuckled, took a cloak and put it on Gu Huai, and said, "Why do you wake up so early and don't sleep for a while?"

Gu Huai shook his head: "I just had a nightmare and was awakened, so I couldn't fall asleep anyway."

Lan Yuyan felt guilty: "What nightmare did you have?"

"I dreamed about something from my childhood again." Gu Huai rubbed the space between his brows wearily, "Speaking of which, where did Mr. Lan go just now?"

Sitting beside him, Lan Yuyan hesitated for a while, then decided not to lie to Gu Huai anymore, and said, "I'm going to the Gu family."

Gu Huai paused, his body froze: "What are you going to do?"

"Go and put Wang Huacheng's fly whisk under your brother's mattress."

Gu Huai sighed: "Oh, whatever, let's do it. As for what will happen, it depends on their luck."

Seeing that Gu Huai did not intend to continue asking, Lan Yuyan was secretly relieved.He looked at Gu Huai's slightly pale face and asked, "How is the wound? Does it still hurt?"

"It's better, maybe a scab somewhere, a little itchy."

"I will apply medicine to you."

With that said, he gently pressed Gu Huai down.Gu Huai obediently lay down on the bed.

Lan Yuyan gently peeled off Gu Huai's clothes, revealing a slender and flexible body.

Gu Huai's figure is a bit thin, but it's not the kind of skinny like dry wood.The muscle lines all over the body are smooth and beautiful, without being overly exaggerated, but also with a sense of vigorous strength.The shoulders are slightly broad, running down from the toned back muscles, the waist is tightly tucked in, and below that are narrow and straight buttocks, straight and well-proportioned legs.

At this moment, the fair and smooth skin was covered with purple-red scars, and Lan Yuyan felt a little distressed when he saw it.

He took a ball of gold sore medicine, rubbed it in his hands, and slowly applied it to Gu Huai's wound.

He had never served anyone before, and it was the first time he administered medicine to someone, so he couldn't help but feel a little unsure of the strength.Seeing that the person under him was shaking violently, he asked guiltily, "Did I hurt you?"

Gu Huai gritted his teeth and smiled: "No, I can bear it."

Lan Yuyan's heart was blocked, and she muttered: "I'll be more gentle, don't bear it, just say it when it hurts."

In this way, taking the opportunity of applying the medicine, he stroked every inch of Gu Huai's skin with his hands.Even though every scar had been treated with medicine, he still touched Gu Huai's body.

Gu Huai suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked, "Master Lan, when you went to Gu's house, did you see the green snake I raised?"

Lan Yuyan paused for a moment, a sweet joy welled up in his heart, making his originally deep voice two tunes higher: "See you, you don't have to worry about it, it's hibernating."

"That's good, it won't cause trouble if you fall asleep. I have to find a time to bring Erqing over."

Lan Yuyan smiled and said: "There is no rush, let it stay at the original home. You can go after your injury is fully recovered."

Gu Huai nodded in agreement.

In the end, before Gu Huai had time to return home to fetch the snake, his father, Gu Xianrong, came looking for him.

In just a few days, my father has aged a lot.Most of his hair has turned gray, his face has many wrinkles, and his waist is even more bent.

Gu Huai looked at his thin father, felt sore in his heart, and called out, "Father."

When Gu Xianrong saw Gu Huai, he held him tremblingly, and burst into tears instantly.

"Father, what's wrong with you, why do you look so haggard?"

"Son, your brother...he's gone!"

"What?" Gu Huai's face turned pale instantly, he looked at his father in disbelief, and asked, "What do you mean, my brother is gone?"

Gu Xianrong cried so much that he couldn't speak.Gu Huai took a deep breath, calmed down, helped his father to the chair, and patted his father's back to calm his emotions.

After Gu Xianrong's crying stopped slightly, Gu Huai said, "Father, don't worry, speak slowly."

Gu Xianrong twitched and told Gu Huai what he saw.

After hearing Gu Xianrong's words, Gu Huai's eyes turned black, he staggered, and leaned his back against the wall to stabilize his body.

"My miserable Yu'er was ripped open by that female ghost, and her heart and intestines were also taken away. Father really regrets why he didn't believe your words and let that evil ghost harm people."

Gu Huai covered his eyes with one hand in pain, and clenched the other tightly into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

After a long time, he knelt down in front of Gu Xianrong, looked up at his father with red eyes: "Father, don't be too sad, you still have me, I will take good care of you."

Gu Xianrong nodded tremblingly, and stretched out a wrinkled hand to touch Gu Huai's head: "Be filial to the child, fortunately, Dad still has you."

Gu Huai accompanied his father back to Gu's house. As soon as he entered the house, he felt a bloody smell rushing towards his face.Although two or three days had passed since Gu Yu's accident, the bloody smell still couldn't dissipate.

After Gu Huai arranged for his father to rest, he came to Gu Yu's mourning hall.

He sat on the ground leaning against the precious golden nanmu coffin, looking out with empty eyes.

A tall figure appeared in front of him, first walked to the spiritual seat, burned a stick of incense, and kowtowed twice.Then he slowly came to Gu Huai.

Gu Huai raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Master Lan already knew that my elder brother was killed, right?"

Lan Yuyan knelt down in front of him: "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I," Lan Yuyan was momentarily at a loss for words, "I'm afraid to see you sad."

"I'm not sad, how could I be sad?" Gu Huai curled up the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "I just feel a little blocked."

Lan Yuyan frowned: "Stop laughing, cry if you want."

Gu Huai shook his head: "I can't cry. At first, I thought that I valued love and righteousness, and when I encountered this kind of thing, I would cry out of breath. I didn't expect it, I didn't feel like crying at all. It seems that I am quite indifferent."

Lan Yuyan's heart choked, she stretched out her hand to pull Gu Huai: "Go for a walk outside, I'll accompany you to relax."

Gu Huai pushed his hand away and leaned his head on the coffin: "I will stay here with my brother for a while, he will be buried in two days."

"Then I'll be here with you." After Lan Yuyan said that, she yawned involuntarily.

He has been in human form for too long, and now his cultivation base is not enough, and he is already a little unable to support it.What's more, his snake body should be in hibernation now, but he hasn't slept well these days, so he is naturally extremely sleepy.

Seeing Lan Yuyan's drowsy appearance, Gu Huai said, "Young Master Lan, don't force yourself. You look very tired. Go and rest."

Lan Yuyan thought for a moment, and felt that it was time for her to sleep. If she persisted, she would appear in the shape of a snake in front of Gu Huai, which would be a serious problem.

He nodded in a daze, turned into a green light and left.As soon as he floated to Gu Huai's room, he became exhausted and turned into a green snake, and fell on Gu Huai's bed.

Erqing turned over, got into the quilt, babbled comfortably, and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Huai continued to sit in his brother's mourning hall and let himself go. Suddenly, he saw a puff of black and purple smoke drifting in, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

The author has something to say:

In the next chapter, fight and kill, bloody violence, and continue to abuse the protagonist as a warning.And in the next chapter, the second hit the table, I didn't see it. /laugh and cry
