Chapter 18 Da Chu is dead
“Brother, look!”
Following the direction of the girl’s finger, in the crevices of the steep and rugged rocks, a bright red flower is following. Swaying in the wind.
“This is the Broken Red Flower.” The young man carrying a basket on his back looked at the Broken Red Flower in the mountains and his eyes lit up.
Duanhonghua is very helpful in strengthening the qi and blood in a person's body, so it is also a medicinal material that beginners who sense qi and blood often take.
The price of a single plant sold in a drug store is around 100 yuan.
Under the adoring gaze of the girl, the boy quickly climbed up the steep hillside, carefully removed the broken red flower, and put it into the bamboo basket behind his back.
"Huh..." After taking off the flower, the young man let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves, and couldn't help showing a happy expression.
He pressed a thick rock on his chest and turned around. Just as he was about to say something to the girl, the pupils of his eyes contracted extremely.
“Amei!”
The boy's eyes widened and he looked behind the girl.
There is a cheetah not far from the girl below.
It is crawling forward a little bit, without making a sound during the whole process. It is obvious that it has entered a hunting state.
But the girl below didn’t know anything about it, and her eyes were full of admiration for him.
In desperation, the boy grabbed a large handful of gravel from the rock with his hands and threw it in the direction of the cheetah. He quickly climbed down while yelling at the girl. ：
"...Run! My sister, run!"
The cheetah was disturbed by the boy and was distracted from hunting. It raised its head and roared at the boy. Then it looked at the girl again, its sharp teeth showing. The time has opened slightly.
How could the boy let it get what it wanted? He raised his hand and saw a stone the size of a baby's fist, hitting it on the head again with a precise "bang".
“Roar!”
This was unbearable, and the cheetah opened its bloody mouth at the boy.
"Brother!"
The girl was so frightened that her body was trembling and she hugged the boy who had just rolled down the hillside.
"Run! Sister, run quickly! Don't look back!!"
The boy's sharp eyes were looking at the cheetah, and he pushed the girl behind him.
“Brother!!”
The girl cried and just shook her head without making any movement.
“Run!!”
The boy yelled at the girl without looking back.
"If you didn't run away, neither of us would be able to run away today! Only if you run away would I be able to survive!!"
The young man spoke very quickly. Finished in one breath.
But his eyes always pretended to be fierce.
Never left the cheetah's sight for a moment.
"Brother, you must survive, otherwise I will not survive."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if I really have an accident, Amei, you must survive." Live well! Did you hear me?"
The young man's spirit was always in high tension, and he relaxed a little until the girl's figure completely disappeared.
Just with this sigh of relief, he felt the pain all over his body when he just rolled down the hillside.
It was just a flaw, and the young man secretly thought something bad!
Sure enough, when the girl left just now, the cheetah could no longer hold it in any longer. Now, it finally caught this flaw!
When you come out to hang out, you have to focus on strength and influence. You thought it was just a bit of a ruthless move, but this is the result?
Little Yakuza!
The young man closed his eyes. Although he felt a lot of unwillingness in his heart, when he thought that Amei had escaped, the unwillingness in his heart was not so much.
However, for a long time, the expected severe pain did not come.
Instead, a warm voice sounded in his ears.
“Get up.”
The young man slowly opened his eyes and saw that he had a very obvious stubble, and his long hair was randomly pulled up and fixed by hairpins. The adult, with a smile in his eyes, was looking at him. "What? Do you think you are dead?" Gu Changsheng asked with a smile.
The smile in his eyes was the most beautiful scenery the young man had ever seen in his life.
“Brother!”
The girl cried and threw herself into the boy’s arms.
The young man touched the girl's yellowish hair with a loving look in his eyes.
He struggled to stand up, bowed to Gu Changsheng, and said in a sincere tone: "Thank you very much for saving me. I will never say thank you for your kindness. Ye Lan will definitely repay it someday!"
The girl also reacted after hearing this. Suddenly, he quickly saluted Gu Changsheng and said, "Grandpa, Ye Nan is the same!"
Grandpa?
Gu Changsheng: "???"
He touched his cheek, his face full of question marks.
I have only been living in poverty for ten years, so how can I become a grandpa?
He always thought that he was just a teenager!
Of course, his true appearance has always been that of a boy.
But this also shows from the side that the "Gu's Old Prescription" that he has painstakingly studied for so many years has begun to show results, which is pretty good.
At the very least, he deceived the two boys and girls in front of him.
Gu's old prescription = makeup technique from past life + secret herbal recipe.
When he came out of the mountains this time, he naturally didn't use his real appearance.
"Slightly" made some small disguises.
……
“So, Chu State is now dead?”
The sun sets.
Under the orange sky, what is being roasted on the flames are the two hind thighs of the cheetah and several pieces of meat taken out from its body.
Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged in front of the flames, turning the barbecue in front of him from time to time. Listening to the narration of Ye Lan, who was sitting cross-legged like him opposite, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his eyes.
As early as four years ago, Chu State had actually died.
The capital was captured by the rebels, but the nominal state pastors that Emperor Anping had granted were actually princes.
They did not work hard and allowed the rebels to move slowly and first break through the Zhili directly under the Chu State, and then the capital, setting off a mass killing and looting.
Afterwards, belatedly came the army to fight against the rebels, and King Qin to fight against the thieves.
There was another internal fight in the capital, and in the end they broke up unhappy.
So in the past few years, the Chu Kingdom has completely fallen into chaos and separatism.
With this move, let alone King Qin, they couldn't even get the body of Emperor Anping.
However, what Gu Changsheng didn't expect was that Emperor Anping would actually choose to die in Sheji!
Such a foolish king could actually escape before the rebels arrived.
But no one expected that Emperor Anping did not escape.
After the rebels captured the capital, he acted very stubbornly and brazenly, choosing to die in Sheji.
Not to mention that he couldn't guess it. After the news spread, almost everyone in the world was dumbfounded.
If it were a wise and heroic king, even a king who usually behaved mediocrely, would not be so shocked if he would make such a choice.
But Emperor Anping is known to everyone in the world as a foolish emperor!
So, you will never be able to see through this person until the last moment.
