one of my alchemist friends

Chapter 21

many.Don't worry, with us here, we won't let him learn bad things and get hurt.You can't trust me, can you still trust Mr. Bairan? "

Gao Yisheng opened his mouth to argue, but seeing that Gao Jian regained his energy, he bowed respectfully to him, and his voice was very weak: "Father...father...children are not filial, you...you wait until I go back, and then... I will make a good apology to you." Then his body softened, he fell into Mo Chengkong's arms, and passed out.

"Farewell." A trace of ferocity flashed in Mo Chengkong's eyes, and he picked him up on the horse with a very displeased tone.

Bai Ran went forward to salute, also wanting to say goodbye, but was blocked by Gao Yisheng: "Little brother, take a step to speak."

The two of them reached the blind spot of a crowd, Gao Yisheng bowed and saluted, and said: "Just now Gao was impatient, and his words offended a lot, I hope you don't take it to heart, young master."

Bai Ran hurriedly helped him up, and his tone was a bit calm: "Sect Leader Gao is serious. It is human nature to love a son dearly, but if you love without reason, it may backfire and cause disaster. Ah, this junior is lying."

"It's okay, your words are reasonable. If the deceased wife left a son, if he doesn't raise him to become a man, how can I face the spirit of my wife in heaven. I acted too hastily and taught the law improperly. However, how can such an older child be left alone? Can you feel at ease?" He untied the burden, took out a small brocade box and a paper bag of pastries, and handed them to Bairan, "He has been hit with a stick a few times, so he must not feel better. In the box is my Gao family's cure for stick injuries. Please give it to him. It will be his birthday in two days, I'm afraid I can't wait to give this bag of lotus seed cakes in person, so please pass it on for me."

He bowed solemnly again, and said: "My son is entrusted to you for the time being, if there is any trouble, please take care of it. If you need anything in the future, just ask someone from me, and I will definitely be there."

"As a master, he will naturally protect him well. But Sect Master Gao is only here to find the young master?" Bai Ran put away the things and couldn't help asking.

"There are... there are other reasons. It's okay to tell you. Gao's trip is to thoroughly investigate the ghost clan." Seeing that Bairan was not surprised, he concluded that he had heard it, so he said without hesitation. , "To tell you the truth, in recent days, there have been frequent occurrences of ghosts in Lingchuan, and the people are already unbearable."

Mo Chengkong rode with Gao Jian, and Liufeng was also rare and honest, walking steadily and steadily.

"What did Sect Master Gao tell you?"

"It's nothing. It's just some instructions from the father when he was entrusting the child." From now on, Bairan has been a little distracted, and Gao Yisheng's deep and forbearing love for the child makes him have to think of his own father, who is equally stern and indifferent Now, is there a different kind of tenderness hidden?There were a few muffled thunderclaps in the clouds, and then there were heavy raindrops pouring down, interrupting his thoughts.The three of them were in a wasteland at this time, and there were neither dense forests nor cottages around them.He lightly clamped the horse's belly, urging Mo Chengkong to leave quickly.Mo Chengkong loosened his outer shirt to hide Gao Jian, and rode his horse to follow quickly.

After running for more than ten miles, a temple appeared in front of them, and there were no other buildings, so the two had no choice.This is a dilapidated temple, which seems to have been abandoned for a long time, with overgrown weeds and heavy dust. Fortunately, the top is intact and can be temporarily used for shelter from the rain.

Bairan tidied up a clean place in twos and twos, took out his robe and spread it out, fed Gao Jian the wound medicine, put it down gently to let him have a good rest.Mo Chengkong picked up a few pieces of dry firewood, lit a fire, and warmed up by warming his clothes.The flames danced, and the faces of the two of them were also brightened.The rain outside the temple became more and more fierce, Mo Chengkong admired the rain and Bairan at the same time, stretched out his hand to Kongkong, and said with a smile: "There should be a bowl of porridge with shrimps and eggs here, no green onion or celery."

Bairan smiled at him, then returned to his indifferent expression and fell into deep thought.

Mo Chengkong sat down next to him, held his hand and tossed it to play, and said in a gentle voice, "I saw that you looked wrong before noon, strict father and son, did you think of your father?" He turned Bairan's body and forced him to look at it. I imitated Bai Yan's tone and said sternly, "Aran, you must understand your father's difficulties. If your mother knows it, she will hope you will do the same." She smiled softly.

Mentioning her mother touched the soft corner of Bairan's heart, so she covered him and held his hand, and replied softly: "Got it."

"Father... Mother... I, I feel so uncomfortable..." Painful groans came from the side, Gao Jian twisted his body, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely.Touching his forehead, it was very hot, probably because he had been beaten and weak, and then he was exposed to the rain, resulting in high fever.But in this wilderness, where can I ask for a fairy doctor?

Bairan held his hand and sent some spiritual power to him.His condition seemed to have stabilized, but Gao Jian was still restless, crying and screaming in pain, begging for his father and mother.

"I don't understand the bond between father and son either. Leave the rest to me." Mo Chengkong smiled helplessly, embraced Gao Jian, patted his side gently, and muttered: "Father is here, so don't worry about the children." Pretending to be someone else's parents is really familiar at the first time, whether it is hugging or comforting words, it is not against harmony.

At first Gao Jian still resisted, but soon indulged in the gentle slapping technique and a series of "be good", snuggling into his arms, weeping softly.The one who plays the father also enjoys it, his eyes are full of kindness and gentleness.

Is the relationship between the two of them good or bad?Bairan didn't want to delve into it, so he poked the fire with a branch and added a few pieces of firewood to make it burn more vigorously.

The corner of the eaves of the temple was still dripping with water, and there was a field of mud and rotten leaves outside the temple, and the rain had stopped.The east is blue and white, and a round of red sun is hidden in the morning light, casting golden brilliance.The fire beside him has been extinguished, and wisps of green smoke are fluttering.Mo Chengkong woke up in a daze, only to feel his body was heavy, and touched it casually, only to remember that Gao Jian was still nestled in his arms, and he was soundly asleep at this moment.

Even though she put on a robe and slept all night, her hands and feet were still sore and her body was weak.He only remembered coaxing high opinions for a whole night, and he was tired later.As for how the two of them slept on the robes, he didn't remember at all.I can only vaguely feel that my lower body is panicking, but my head is very comfortable on the pillow.

Mo Chengkong propped himself up and let Gao Jian rest on his lap.After the drowsiness dissipated, he opened his eyes and looked around, but Bairan was not there.Early in the morning, where can he go?

"Don't leave us alone and run away..." He said haha, thinking wildly in his heart, feeling a sense of loss.

"Are you awake?" A slender figure stepped in, and Bairan came in with a bag of things, took out everything and put them in order: three porcelain bowls, an iron basin, and some rice in the basin.When I got up early and saw no one, I went for alms. "It took Yu Jian a long time to find a farmhouse. The owner of the house didn't have many things. I only got these in exchange. Let's cook some gruel. What are you laughing at?"

"If you have something to eat, be happy. You sit down and rest, and I'll cook." Mo Chengkong smiled more happily, his eyes curved into two crescent moons.

Not long after sitting down, Bairan suddenly flashed a past event in his mind. He stood up abruptly, grabbed the pot and pan, and said, "I'll do it! You and I are the only ones. I can't bear it because I have a good opinion."

"Hey, do you dislike my craftsmanship?" Mo Chengkong stretched his face in front of him and questioned.

"Don't dare." Bai Ran smiled politely back.

With the lotus seed cake, Gao Jian drank two bowls of porridge even though he had no appetite.He smacked his lips, put away the rest of the paper bag, and said melancholy: "Oh, I don't know if my father ate or not."

Mo Cheng air-conditioned said: "What's so difficult about this? Tell your master to take you to guard the sword. Maybe your father and the others have not gone far, and they will catch up in a while."

"Don't, don't, don't." It was so easy to come out, there was no reason to send myself back.Isn't that the beating in vain?

Mo Chengkong said with a smile: "You should go back. Don't worry too much when you turn around. If you want a father or a mother at night, where can I find you?"

"I won't!" Gao Jian stuck out his tongue at him.

good friend

After a night of recuperation and adjustment, Gao Jian's fever almost subsided, and the three of them packed their luggage and continued their journey to Huaiyang.He and Mo Chengkong are still quarreling, but the relationship has eased a lot compared to before.Although he fell into a coma after being beaten yesterday, he vaguely remembered that Mo Chengkong stopped his father and took him away before he fainted.In addition to a good dream last night, the father in the dream, contrary to his usual stern attitude, embraced him extremely gently and coaxed him to sleep.This was the first time he had slept so peacefully and peacefully since he ran away from home.

"Come here, brother, I'll take you to ride a horse. Otherwise, with your short legs, you'll be disabled from running." Mo Chengkong smiled and beckoned him over.

Good intentions are good intentions, but the words sound harsh.Gao Jian glared at him, held by Bairan, climbed onto Huixue's back, and protested at him with a "hum hum".

It was rare for Mo Chengkong not to quarrel with him, and he rode Liufeng not far behind the two of them, keeping a distance, with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Bairan also slowed down, and when he walked to the side, he said concernedly: "Did you not rest? You don't look very energetic." As soon as the words came out, he laughed first.Isn't this asking knowingly?He stayed up all night with him last night, and among the three, only Gao Jian could truly rest enough.

Mo Cheng knew why he was laughing, so he couldn't help laughing.Gao Jian said contemptuously, "Don't smile so disgustingly at me."

Mo Chengkong stopped smiling, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.He touched the bloodstains that had begun to scab on the back of the tentacles, and said in a weak tone, "...I was thinking about that ghost girl."

Her death was so sudden, and what she did before her death was even more puzzling.The sudden madness seemed to be due to nature, but Mo Chengkong always felt that she had nowhere to turn for help, so she chose to end her life in despair and fear.

Who is the man behind them?Why can she be so frightened just by a breath?And at that time, the ghost girl grabbed the hem of his clothes and moved forward, as if she was not trying to escape from this room, but... He subconsciously touched his chest, the one that was in the
