Chapter 12

Listening to the silence outside, Lin Qingqian saw Gu Changgeng, who was white and leaning against the corner of the wall, by the dim candle light of the firewood room.

Startled, she walked quickly and whispered, "brother Changgeng, are you okay?"

Gu Changgeng frowned, his lips moved slightly, and before he opened his mouth, he affected the injury behind his back. He snorted with pain.

"Brother Changgeng, you are hurt behind you. Don't move."

Gu Changgeng closed his eyes for a long time. After pressing down the pain on his back, he opened his eyes. His eyes were cold and looked at Lin Qingqian. He saw that her back was cold and swallowed saliva involuntarily.

"Brother Changgeng, I'm here to deliver medicine and eat. Look."

Lin Qingqian took out the Jincang medicine hidden in his sleeve and the steamed bread wrapped in cloth. His black and white eyes were careful. "I heard that you were punished by your grandmother. I wanted to plead with your grandmother, but my grandmother didn't want to see me. I had to wait until it was dark to sneak into the window."

Gu Changgeng's lips flashed up and smiled sarcastically. Lin Qingyuan's words were engraved in his mind word by word.

"Do you think you're still the young master of the general's residence? Your father Gu Yun is a fine work of adultery and betrayal. We Lin's family take you in, but you're a good man. I'm a good man. It's your great blessing for the young master to let you learn to bark like a dog. I don't know what's good or bad!"

Gu Changgeng said nothing. Lin Qingqian pulled his cuff, "brother Changgeng, how do you..."

Gu Changgeng shook off her hand and said angrily, "go away! You Lin family don't need to pretend!"

Lin Qingqian's hatred filled Gu Changgeng was startled. Her legs softened and she almost sat on the ground. Remembering the purpose of her trip, she forced herself to calm down and said, "I know brother Changgeng is angry, but the injury behind you must be medicated. Shall I help you first?"

"Get out!"

Lin Qingqian couldn't help it. He pinched his thigh hard, and a layer of white fog appeared in his eyes. He said, "Qingqian really knows he's wrong. I should be angry with brother Changgeng, but you can't ignore your body. The wounds behind you are bleeding. Can you take the medicine?"

With the little girl's cry, Gu Chang tightened her lips. No matter how angry she was, she had to close her eyes.

Soft is not good. Lin Qingqian can only come hard as soon as he bites his teeth.

Without saying a word, he pulled Gu Changgeng's clothes. His right shoulder was torn off, revealing his white shoulder.

The next second, his wrist was gripped by his big hand. Gu Changgeng bit his teeth and said, "what do you want to do!"

"I, I..." Lin Qingqian second counselled, blinked his tearful eyes, and timidly said, "brother Changgeng's back is bleeding. I want to help you apply medicine..."

Lin Qingqian's words were true. Under the candlelight, Gu Changgeng's light blue clothes on his back were clearly visible.

"Release!"

The little hand firmly grasped the clothes in his hand and said stubbornly, "don't loosen it unless brother Changgeng promised to take medicine."

"Lin Qingqian! Loosen!"

Gu Changgeng's face was frighteningly cold. Lin Qingqian's mouth shriveled and he really began to cry.

"Brother Changgeng, will you take medicine? I won't make you angry in the future. If you hate me, I won't go to the fence garden in the future."

Gu Changgeng's body was stiff. Looking at the crying Lin Qingqian, he flashed across his eyes and said, "don't cry, I can't take medicine. What's the matter with you!"

"Brother Changgeng will hurt..."

It was a false cry that softened Gu Changgeng's heart, but unexpectedly, he was crying. Lin Qingqian was so involved that he couldn't stop. His appearance of burping was very pitiful.

Gu Changgeng's eyes flashed a struggling look. For a moment, his tone was blunt and said, "don't cry! I'll take the medicine."

Lin Qingqian said happily, "really, I'll help brother Changgeng apply medicine now."

Just about to continue pulling down Gu Changgeng's clothes, he grabbed Lin Qingqian's hand, "I'll come by myself."

"Brother Chang Geng hurt his back. It's inconvenient to take medicine by himself. I'll help you."

But Gu Changgeng never released Lin Qingqian's hand. She shouted suspiciously, "brother Changgeng?"

Gu Changgeng's eyes drooped slightly. If it wasn't for the dim candle light, I'm afraid I could see a slight red on his face.

In Lin Qingqian's puzzled eyes, for a long time, he jumped out, "men and women don't give or receive."

Lin Qingqian's confused "ah?" After hearing this, he quickly took back his hand, held back his smile and said, "OK, brother Changgeng took the medicine himself. I'll watch next to him."

"If you go back, I'll take medicine later."

Lin Qingqian shook his head, "no, I must watch brother Changgeng take medicine and go back, otherwise I don't trust."

Remembering Gu Changgeng's sentence that men and women are separated, Lin Qingqian added, "I don't look. I turn my back and wait for brother Changgeng to take good medicine and call me, and I'll turn around."

Lin Qingqian consciously turned his back. Sure enough, there was a rustle of taking off his clothes behind him.

Who could have thought that the Regent, who would kill decisively in the future, would be reluctant today.

Gu Changgeng spilled Jincang medicine on his back with one hand. Lin Qingqian glanced slightly while he didn't care, and his heart was shocked.

The back with fair skin is red, swollen, blue and purple, scarred and bleeding faintly, which is very scary.

The heart is mixed for a while.

After about half a column of incense, Gu Changgeng's voice was slightly weak and said, "well, I've applied medicine. You leave quickly."

Lin Qingqian turned back and Gu Changgeng's clothes had been sorted out. Although he had just applied the medicine, he endured to say nothing, but the pain was so painful that small beads of sweat exuded from his forehead.

She didn't go. She went back to Gu Changgeng, sat down, opened the steamed bread wrapped in cloth, picked up one and handed it over, "brother Changgeng, you haven't eaten all day. There are only a few steamed bread left in the backyard kitchen today. You'll make do with your stomach first."

"I'm not hungry."

Lin Qingqian had touched Gu Changgeng's weakness. His mouth was shriveled, his eyes were black and white, and his tears twinkled. He looked at him, "brother Changgeng..."

Gu Changgeng frowned, took the steamed bread from her hand and took a big bite, as if to vent his anger.

I don't know who is angry with me.

Gu Changgeng ate steamed bread silently without looking at Lin Qingqian.

Lin Qingqian thought it was a rare chance to get along quietly. After thinking about it, she decided to show her mind again.

"Brother Changgeng, I was wrong about what I did to you before. I will never bully you again. On the street that day, I told you that every word is true when you respect like my brother!"

Gu Changgeng glanced at Lin Qingqian in a complicated way and didn't say anything at all.

Without pointing to her nose to let her roll, Lin Qingqian thought it was good progress and was not depressed. He stood up and patted the ash on his skirt: "there are still a few steamed buns left. Brother Changgeng will make do with it tomorrow. I'll send you delicious food in the evening."

Walking to the window, he looked back and told: "brother Changgeng should also remember to take medicine for the injury behind his back."

When Lin Qingqian opened the window, he was about to climb out. A lightning split down and lit up the dark night sky, followed by a roar of thunder.
