The Protagonist Only Thinks About Falling In Love

The next day.

Jiang Zefeng was cooking in the kitchen when he heard someone calling him outside. He went out and saw that it was Chen Qianhu. Chen Qianhu was carrying a big bag of things. He poked his head into his house, but he didn't go in.

He rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms, as if he was just working.

Jiang Zefeng: "Why are you here?"

"Jiang Er, where's your brother?" He asked.

Jiang Zefeng said, "Let's go."

"Ah? Just left?" He asked, as if he was relieved again, the corners of his tight lips loosened, "My mother also asked me to bring something to your brother to eat on the way, but I left unexpectedly .”

Obviously looking very happy, like sending off the plague god.

Jiang Zefeng put one hand on the door frame, and said in a delicate tone, "My brother is gone, you are very happy."

"Where is it?" Chen Qianhu always felt that Jiang Zefeng fell into the water that day, not for the better, but just like in the storybook, he was resurrected with a dead body.

That afternoon, the news of Gu Yinzhou's departure spread. In the past few days after he left, many people came to inquire about what business Gu Yinzhou was doing. Jiang Zefeng made nonsense, saying that he was selling things.

In the past two days, the family has been crowded.

When Gu Yinzhou left, Jiang Zefeng didn't feel too uncomfortable at first. He worked from sunrise to sunset by himself, followed the life trajectory of the village step by step, and pulled the system out from time to time to chat and chat.

Didn't miss it too much either.

It seems that the miss on that first night has already evaporated.

Seven days later, a person from another village came to the village and rented a small hut at the head of the village with the village head. On the same day, they took a hammer and beat and repaired the hut with wood.

"That boy looks good."

"I heard that I went to my relatives, but when I arrived, I found that there was no one there. Now I have to save money to go back!"

"The lad is quite capable."

The news that there was a person in the village spread within a long time. Jiang Zefeng also heard about it. His house is not close to the village, and it is rare to see him if he does not deliberately go to the village. He only stays far away. Taking a look, I saw a black figure squatting on the roof.

Two days later at night, he saw the man up close.

The infectious disease in the village was basically cured. The village head took a piece of meat to the hero Jiang Zefeng to express his condolences. After that, another lively banquet was held in the village. Every household contributed some money to have a meal together.

In the evening of that day, the big guys got together to make a lot of fun, just like what Gu Yinzhou was worried about, someone wanted to marry Jiang Zefeng, but this time there was no one around him who could sneer.

The village head specially introduced the newcomers to the village.

"They're all from the same village. Let's take care of this little brother in the future. Come, drink!" The village chief patted the shoulder of the person next to him and raised his glass.

The man looked plain and didn't hesitate, he drank a bowl of wine in one go, "Xie Liu, thank you again for taking care of me!"

Jiang Zefeng sat at the table with the village head, glanced at the man, and the moment he met the man's eyes, he was almost sure that this person was from Gu Yinzhou's side.

People who have fought on the battlefield always have an aura that others don't have.

Jiang Zefeng couldn't help laughing, he thought, how worried Gu Yinzhou was about him.

And the fact is exactly as he thought, within two days the man came to visit his house and caught him a chicken. Jiang Zefeng stewed the chicken at night. He still remembers that Yinzhou likes his stewed chicken very much. .

The stewing time was a bit long, and he was a little sleepy staring at the fire.

When he went to the kitchen to get the bowls, Jiang Zefeng took two rice bowls and was about to fill them with rice, so he had a meal.

The habit seems to be engraved in the bone, and it will always be revealed inadvertently.

Jiang Zefeng put the bowl back, took a bowl, ate dinner, and washed the bowl as usual, but he didn't want to go back to the house. A stool, sitting at the door, looking up at the scattered stars in the sky.

Jiang Zefeng: [It's a bit cold. 】

He took two sips of wine to warm himself up.

System: [The temperature will drop in two days. 】

Sometimes, it seems that the more you get used to it, the more you realize the longing later, like ants gnawing at the heart, densely packed with stinging pain, with great stamina.

Missing it seems like a piece of heart is missing, incomplete, empty, and the wind is pouring in, and the feeling is not very good.

It was only at certain inadvertent moments that he realized that he had left.

In the dead of night, it seems that people are most emotionally charged.

He doesn't really want to think about what Gu Yinzhou is doing, he just knows that he misses him.

Jiang Zefeng was nestled in the stool, drinking wine from the jug, and the moonlight fell on him.

He promised Gu Yinzhou that all he had to do was wait, and in this life, he would only wait this time.

[How many sessions of the system have you led? ] Jiang Zefeng asked curiously.

System: [Many. 】

Jiang Zefeng: 【Tell me a story? 】

System: [According to regulations, it is inconvenient to disclose the details. 】

【All right. 】Jiang Zefeng said, 【Then you can talk about it casually. 】

The system spoke casually, slowly telling one of his most proficient stories - "The Unsolved Mystery of the Lady of the Castle".

—

The pace of life in the village is not fast, but time passes quickly. In the kitchen of Jiang Zefeng's home, on the wall of the stove, the word "正" is written squarely in carbon. , Finished writing "positive" one after another.

In the original plot, the plot of "bandits entering the village" never happened.

Three months passed in a flash.

The weather in winter is cold. When I wake up in the morning, my breath is covered with white mist, and the leaves are stained with dew. After Jiang Zefeng washed up, he went into the kitchen and added a stroke of "正" on the wall.

Except for today, tomorrow is the deadline—three months, not more than one day, not less than one day.

He agreed to Gu Yinzhou and only waited for him for three months.

For the past three months, day after day, there has only been one letter from Gu Yinzhou. The letter was brought to him by the person living in the village two months ago. It can be summed up in the last sentence, "Everything is fine, I miss you to death".

In the next two months, they lost contact, and even his subordinates had no news of him.

Jiang Zefeng didn't go anywhere these two days.

Gu Yinzhou did not come back.

Jiang Zefeng packed his bags.

He waited for Gu Yinzhou to agree to him, lest the time limit was not up, he left, and Gu Yinzhou could not find him when he came back, so that the two of them missed by accident, but now that he missed the appointment, Jiang Zefeng didn't want to wait any longer .

He planned to leave this place, Gu Yinzhou left him a lot of money, and he had enough money on his body, as for these things in the village, he left them to others to take care of.

The day before he left, he went to sweep Jiang Zefeng's mother's grave.

……

In recent years, in the twelfth lunar month, the cold wind was biting, and one or two beggars would always freeze to death on the streets. Jiang Zefeng went all the way to Beijing, the journey was long, he stopped in several places, and when he arrived in Beijing, several days had passed.

Shangjing is full of flowers, even in winter, a street, at a glance, is different from other places, and there are people giving porridge on the street.

It has snowed for the past two days, and the roof is completely white.

The porridge shed was placed in a place sheltered from the wind and densely populated. Jiang Zefeng didn't even need to deliberately ask, but he could already hear the name of Gu Yinzhou's "General" from other people.

"Back to Beijing that day, did you see it?"

"No." A beggar made a shy expression, "Such a dignified appearance, it doesn't look like the legendary blue face and fangs."

"He has a kind heart, and he even distributes porridge for us common people."

"However, I heard that she has been seriously ill these past few days and is bedridden. I don't know what it is."

"Madam even went to the temple to pray for him."

"Madam is also kind-hearted..."

A voice came in, "Who is the general you are talking about?"

Those people turned their heads and were thinking about where this person came from. Even the well-known general didn't know. When they saw that this person was well-dressed and well-dressed, he was neat and tidy, so they treated him well. A few points.

"Brother, don't make such a joke."

Jiang Zefeng glanced at the person who spoke to him, and said, "I see that your complexion is blue, but recently the root of your tongue is bitter, and you don't feel like eating anything?"

"How do you know?"

"I've learned a little bit." Jiang Zefeng broke into the camp and said that he came from another place, but he didn't know which general they were talking about, and in a few words, he got the news from them.

What they said was that Gu Yinzhou was indeed good. Rumors spread that Gu Yinzhou was seriously ill, and he sought out many doctors. He heard that he would die soon.

【What's wrong with him? ] Jiang Zefeng asked.

System: [It's not a disease, it's poisoning. 】

Jiang Zefeng: [Why didn't you tell me before? 】

System: [Can't die. 】

Jiang Zefeng: […]

"It's a pity that the daughter of the Wang family..."

Jiang Zefeng paused as he was about to get up, "The daughter of the Wang family?"

"Hey, you don't know something about this." The other party lowered his voice, "This Miss Wang and the General are childhood sweethearts. They were married to the General at the beginning, but everyone in the city knows the trouble, and the General avoided it because of the trouble. It was too late, and she even got the name of Duanxiu, the general was out fighting, and the old lady loved this young lady of the Wang family very much, and she heard that a marriage was about to be arranged in the near future, but there was another incident like this..."

……

Jiang Zefeng went to the general's mansion several times, but he was expelled before he got close, and he had never seen the "Xiao Li" before. He had the jade pendant that Gu Yinzhou gave him, and he had no place to serve as a token. Knowing the goods, no matter what you take out, if you say you can't get in, you can't get in.

Maybe it happened that Gu Yinzhou was seriously ill, so the entire mansion guarded him so strictly that no one who was suspicious would be allowed in.

-

In the general's mansion, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor and stopped outside the door of the wing room. The maid lowered her head at the door and called "Old Madam".

There was sandalwood in the wing room, and there was a Buddha statue in front of him. The woman held a prayer bead and bowed to the Buddha. When she heard the sound, she opened her eyes, "What's the matter?"

"The general is awake." The maid hurriedly said.

The woman held the Buddhist beads tightly, stretched out her hand, and the servant girl supported her. She got up and staggered a few times, then hurriedly walked towards Gu Yinzhou courtyard.

As soon as he got closer, he heard coughing and talking inside, the maid said, Gu Yinzhou woke up and summoned his subordinates.

"How long have I slept?"

They heard Gu Yinzhou's hoarse voice.

"Two days." Another voice replied.

Gu Yinzhou: "Has the letter been delivered yet?"

"It was sent out ten days ago." The man replied sonorously, "It is estimated that it will arrive in two days."

"That's fine..."

They went in.

A stout man stood beside the bed, with a scar between his eyebrows, looking fierce.

As soon as the old lady entered, he stepped aside and saluted, "Madam."

The old lady went straight to Gu Yinzhou, sat by the bed, and asked him if there was any discomfort, "At this time, don't worry about those things."

She thought Gu Yinzhou's "faithfulness" was a serious matter.

Gu Yinzhou was drowsy, and not long after he woke up, he fell asleep again in a drowsy state, his face was getting thinner and thinner day by day.

Gu Yinzhou woke up, and the imperial physicians in the palace came to recuperate his body. After another two days, Gu Yinzhou's spirit improved a lot. The food was delicious, and he felt that he was doing well again. He called Li Zhuangyu. , asked him to prepare the horse, and said that he was going on a long trip. The old lady who heard the news came over and saw him get out of bed. She was so out of breath that she ordered her servants to put him on the bed.

The old lady chased away the servants, angrily:

"Where do you want to go? Can't you tell Wei Niang to feel at ease!?"

"Mother." Gu Yinzhou said in a deep voice, "My child has an appointment with others, so don't break your word."

"What appointment is so important?" The old lady didn't usually talk to him like this, but now she is really in a hurry. She has been married to the mansion for more than 20 years, and her husband died early, leaving only one son, Gu Yinzhou is her lifeblood.

The old lady didn't agree with him going out like this, and even asked people to guard his room, even if the subordinates went in, they had to report.

Recently, a well-known quack doctor came out of Shangjing, who suddenly rose to fame. Even the old lady had heard about it once or twice. She heard that one hand can bring the dead back to life. People will not stay in Beijing for a long time, and after careful consideration, let people enter the mansion.

The poisonous road in Gu Yinzhou, the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless, if not for this, the old lady would not have rushed to the doctor.

And this person is Jiang Zefeng.

Jiang Zefeng did it deliberately, he made a special trip to treat people with difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and then let the beggars pass on the news, word of mouth, to the point of perfection, and finally walked in front of the old lady.

"I've met the old lady." Jiang Zefeng looked gentle and steady, and he also seemed to be a reliable person on the outside.

Two days ago, when the old lady went to see a doctor for the first time, Jiang Zefeng recognized her. She and Gu Yinzhou had somewhat similar facial features, her clothes were not ordinary, and her words were tentative, unlike someone who came to see a doctor.

He acted impatiently. He had inquired that the old lady loved her son very much, so she would not let go of any hope.

"When did you come to Shangjing? Why haven't I heard of you before?" the old lady asked.

She checked Jiang Zefeng one or two first, and tried a few times calmly. The information was almost the same as what she checked. She got up and took him to Gu Yinzhou's wing. Yinzhou is ready to go out again.

"You wait here first," she said.

Jiang Zefeng: "Yes."

The old lady pushed open the door and walked in.

Jiang Zefeng heard a commotion inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the door in front of him, after a while, someone came and told him to go in.

He lifted his foot to enter the door, and Gu Yinzhou's voice became clear.

"Mother, I'm fine." Gu Yinzhou said, "You don't need to call me a quack, isn't it enough that I was cheated before?"

Jiang Zefeng paused.

"Don't mess around." The old lady said sternly.

"They just want to deceive—" Gu Yinzhou caught a glimpse of a corner of his clothes, and when he saw the figure of that person, he was taken aback for a moment.

The dark and cold face could not be maintained any longer.

It's cold in winter, and there is a charcoal basin in the wing room, which is much warmer than outside.

Jiang Zefeng let out a breath, the ends of his eyes were reddish by the biting wind outside, he raised his eyelids, and met Gu Yinzhou's deep eyes with his twinkling eyes, the room was silent for a while.

Gu Yinzhou has lost weight, seems to be a lot haggard, unshaven, wearing obscene clothes and sitting on the bed, his whole person looks a little gloomy, as if shrouded in a gloomy and thick fog, with a strong sense of oppression.

"I've seen the general." Jiang Zefeng lowered his eyes.

He could feel Gu Yinzhou's gaze resting on him motionlessly.

"Zhou'er." The old lady shouted in a deep voice.

Only then did Gu Yinzhou turn his eyes away from Jiang Zefeng, his introverted temperament did not show much expression, he said: "Then let's see."

His mood changed too quickly. He was still extremely resistant before, but now he calmed down again. The old lady sighed and said: "I am a mother for your own good—come here."

Knowing that he was calling, Jiang Zefeng stepped forward and sat on the stool beside the bed, took out something, lowered his eyes without looking at his face, stretched out his hand and said, "Please give me your hand, General."

His fingertips were glowing red, his slender fingers looked clean and beautiful, with well-defined joints, Gu Yinzhou stared straight at him, and put his hand on his palm.

The corner of Jiang Zefeng's mouth twitched, and while the old lady didn't notice, he turned his hand over and checked his pulse. After a while, he let go of his hand and asked the old lady if there was any more poison in it.

The old lady: "Tweety, go get it."

"Yes." A little maid answered and left the room.

Jiang Zefeng put away the things on the table, he caught a glimpse of Gu Yinzhou staring at him from the corner of his eye, and he turned his head to look at the past too, the eyes of the two were glued together anxiously, fortunately most of Jiang Zefeng's body blocked the old lady's gaze.

The old lady spoke out and asked Jiang Zefeng if the poison could be cured.

"Solvable." Jiang Zefeng said.

"Really?" The old lady's mood fluctuated slightly, and no one who came here dared to guarantee it. Even the imperial doctor only gave a specious and vague answer.

"That's right." Jiang Zefeng said, "I've seen it, just give me some more time."

"Okay, okay!" The old lady said two good words in succession.

"Mother." Gu Yinzhou said, "Go out first, I'll talk to him in detail."

"Zhou'er, don't be willful."

"Mother, don't worry, I know it well."

The old lady sighed, it seems that his son still can't trust this doctor, let alone.

She turned around and walked out, Gu Yinzhou told the servants to go out, and when the door was closed, he took Jiang Zefeng's hand, rubbed his cold fingertips twice, "Is that you?"

Up to now, I still can't believe it, people just appeared in front of him so suddenly.

"General, don't do this." Jiang Zefeng waved his hand.

Gu Yinzhou looked at his figure, looked at his appearance, and listened to his voice. He was convinced that the person in front of him was a real person. He rubbed his cold hands and said, "Why don't you wear more clothes, and you ignore my words again?" .”

"What did the general say to me?" Jiang Zefeng said, "I just met the general for the first time today."

Seeing his unfamiliar state, Gu Yinzhou paused, "You don't recognize me?"

"I only know my big brother." Jiang Zefeng said.

Now that Gu Yinzhou knew about it, he was losing his temper. He hadn't told Jiang Zefeng about it yet, so he was so happy that he forgot about it. He paused, "It's my fault, don't be angry .”

"Why don't you look at me?" Gu Yinzhou said.

Jiang Zefeng stroked his chin, poked his hand with his beard, and said thoughtfully, "This is the first time I've seen you like this."

After touching Gu Yinzhou's chin for a while, he said again, "It's a little prickly."

Gu Yinzhou felt his chin slightly cool, and then he remembered that he hadn't been in the mood to take care of himself for the past few days, so now he looks like a mess.

Seeing Jiang Zefeng again, what he thought at first was that he rode back to the village in a splendid manner, full of vigor and vigor, and by no means the sickly appearance he is now, how could he show his demeanor.

He took Jiang Zefeng's hand and stretched it under the bed, changing the subject, "Brother, warm your hands."

Jiang Zefeng: "..."

As soon as Gu Yinzhou opened his mouth, the strange sense of distance dissipated, and a familiar feeling came with him. This was the feeling that he missed in those days, day and night.

"No need, let others see what it looks like." Jiang Zefeng said with a suppressed voice.

"No one in this mansion dares to push my door." Gu Yinzhou said.

The next moment, a "squeak" sound came, and the door was pushed open.

Both of them were taken aback, there was no time to talk about the past, Jiang Zefeng withdrew his hand, Gu Yinzhou clenched it tightly, and then let go.

The old lady went back and forth, fearing that Gu Yinzhou would embarrass Jiang Zefeng too much, so she brought the little maid into the door. She looked at the scene in the room and paused.

The cuffs of Jiang Zefeng's clothes were slightly pulled, and a tinge of red could be seen on his wrist, and Gu Yinzhou's quilt on the bed was also messy, as if he had experienced a fierce dispute just now.

Sure enough, her son has a very stubborn temper and says nothing. He doesn't have a good impression of this charlatan, and he didn't know if he made a move just now.

"Doctor Jiang, the medicine has been brought, you can go and take a look with me," she said.

Gu Yinzhou's eyes were too naked and hot, and with the matter of talent, Jiang Zefeng was afraid that the old lady would see something, so he agreed.

"it is good."

When we first met, Gu Yinzhou didn't want to separate so quickly, he pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and wanted to say something, but then remembered his decadent face, the words stopped on his lips, Jiang Zefeng had already gone out with the old lady, Before he stepped out the door, he looked back at Gu Yinzhou.

Gu Yinzhou tilted his head, leaving him with a profile.

After the door closed, he touched his chin, which felt a little prickly.

He also seemed to have a smell, just now Jiang Zefeng refused to lean over, did he smell it?It should be ventilated.

Jiang Zefeng is still as good-looking as before, no, it should be said that he has become even better.

"Come here." He said, "Bring water."

The old lady heard Jiang Zefeng say that she lived in an inn, so she spontaneously invited him to live in the mansion. The yard is far away from Gu Yinzhou, and she arranged for people to wait on him. They were two beautiful little maids. Worrying about him, he wanted to arrange people to watch him by his side, so he asked for two handsome servants.

Since this day, he has been researching the prescription in this small courtyard. He said that it can be cured, not to lie to the old lady, and he has indeed seen this kind of poison.

The yard was not small, but it was deserted. Jiang Zefeng randomly chose a wing room to live in. He didn't have many burdens and didn't need to arrange it. On the first night in the mansion, Jiang Zefeng stayed up all night. On the second day, the servant brought him meals.

The food in the General's Mansion is pretty good, both meat and vegetables. During breakfast, Jiang Zefeng "inadvertently" learned from the boy that a quack doctor in the mansion was exposed for lying to the old lady, and was punished. After suffering a lot of flesh and blood, he was driven out of the house.

At noon, Jiang Zefeng was sitting on the edge of the window sill with his head propped up. He heard the servant call him in a daze, and he opened his eyes.

"Doctor Jiang, the general is not feeling well. The old lady wants to see you, so go and see." The boy said.

"Okay." Jiang Zefeng stood up.

As soon as he went out, the cold wind outside woke him up. He followed the servant all the way to Gu Yinzhou's yard. The old lady was in the room and greeted him with concern. Gu Yinzhou was lying on the bed with his head tilted and coughing.

Seeing Jiang Zefeng appearing, the old lady hurriedly let him have a look.

Gu Yinzhou glanced at him a few times.

Jiang Zefeng felt his pulse and said, "General, he caught a cold and caught the wind."

The old lady's complexion darkened, and after asking, she learned that Gu Yinzhou took a bath yesterday, soaked for a long time, and ordered someone to open the window to let in the air.

"Nonsense!" the old lady scolded.

"Mother, you all go out first, there are so many people, it hurts my eyes." Gu Yinzhou closed his eyes, looking as if he was about to die.

The old lady had nothing to do with him, she turned around and led the maid to the Buddhist hall.

She also had a headache looking at Gu Yinzhou!

After he left, Gu Yinzhou asked his servants to go out to guard just like yesterday.

The charcoal brazier was crackling and burning, the room was warm, and it was so stuffy that people's faces were a little hot, Jiang Zefeng moved the end of the basin away from the bed, and stood there looking at Gu Yinzhou on the hospital bed.

Much cooler than yesterday.

"Come here." Gu Yinzhou frowned, "Why are you so far away from me?"

Jiang Zefeng sat over, "Why take a bath?"

Gu Yinzhou grabbed his hand, rubbed it back and forth, and said, "I want to soak."

"Brother." Jiang Zefeng hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yinzhou asked.

"Do you know what you look like?" Jiang Zefeng asked.

Gu Yinzhou curled his lips, he shaved his beard today, and tidied up his bedding, so he must look much better than yesterday.

"Like what?" he asked, "Like someone you like?"

Jiang Zefeng looked at him, with a faint smile on his lips, and said, "Like a disciple."

Gu Yinzhou: "..."
