v2.Chapter 110 (1/2)
It's still dark. The lights are bright in the upper room.
Gu Shubai and Gu Jiuge put things in order and went to the upper room. When they passed the west chamber, they unconsciously stopped.
Then the two brothers looked at each other.
Gu Jiuge was a little embarrassed and coughed softly. ”Go ahead. There's still time. I'll go to my room and tell my father first.”
He must have wanted to see Yu Fu again.
”Thank you.”
Gu Shubai threw his sword to him impolitely, turned his head and jumped up to the wall of the West Chamber -
it was too early, and the gate of the west chamber was not opened.
The woman on duty hears the news and comes out with a candlestick. Seeing that it is Gu Shubai who is busy to wake up Lianzhu and Lianbi, Gu Shubai hisses at them.
”Don't wake her up. I'll leave at a glance.”
Lianzhu and Lianbi, knowing each other, hold up a lamp which is not very bright and put it at the end of Yufu's bed, and then retreat wisely.
Yufu is sleeping, the light candle light shines on her face, and her lips are soft, quiet and peaceful.
At the turn of spring and summer, she only covered a thin silk quilt. Gu Shubai carefully picked up the blanket from the bedside and covered it on her quilt.
Yu Fu noticed something in his sleep and mumbled two words uneasily.
His face was close to her, trying to hear what she said, but there was only a vague chirp.
This little girl, don't you know that he will be gone for a long time today? I can sleep so well.
He gave her a whiff on the bridge of her nose, turned around, raised the lamp and walked out.
”Big brother...”
It woke her up.
Gu Shubai looked back and said, ”big brother, big brother.”
I was talking in my sleep.
He whispered to himself, ”I don't know what I dream about.”
Otherwise, he would like to sit here until dawn and ask her what her dream is.
Unfortunately
He showed his favorite smile to Yu Fu and quietly left the inner room.
”Young master.”
Yao LAN came over in a daze, holding a sachet in her hand, ”this was embroidered by the young lady for the eldest son before, and it was meant to be given to you in time for the Chinese New Year. But many things happened at that time. Before the sachet was finished, the lady asked me to give it to you. ”
Gu Shubai took the sachet. The plum blossom pattern on it is suitable for winter wear, but now it is spring and summer.
That winter day
He was in a trance, thinking of his life hanging on the edge of the forest in Changzhou Prefecture, of his hiding in the dark cave with Gu Yi, and of Yu Fu's figure appearing in the cave like an angel.
Think of her day and night to take care of themselves, think of her feed themselves to drink medicine, feed themselves to drink porridge, bit by bit haunting.
A strange smell of medicine brought his thoughts back to reality.
