When the food reserves become my wife

【Fives】

Gu Chuan stayed in Tai Hospital for half a year.

His injury has healed long ago, and the reason why he stays here is because he doesn't know where else to go, and because he obeys the secret desire in his heart.

After Lin Jinyuan handed him over to Chen Zhong, he disappeared without a trace. When Gu Chuan recovered from his injury, he followed Chen Zhong to beat him up, at least not to make himself look completely idle.

Fortunately, Chen Zhong didn't chase him away.

Chen Zhong was born into a family of medical practitioners, and his family has had imperial physicians for generations, and he was even more talented since he was a child, and he became a subordinate envoy at a young age.Recently, Chen Zhong didn't have much work to do. When he was free, he would read books in the house, or take care of the medicine field in the backyard.

Gu Chuan always followed him like a tail. He couldn't speak clearly, and because he hadn't been in touch with human beings for too long, he didn't understand many things. Chen Zhong patiently taught him little by little.

Chen Zhong has never been curious about his life experience and his strange self-healing ability, it seems that he can quickly accept no matter what happens, Gu Chuan thinks this may be because of what Lin Jinyuan said to him.

During the day, he stayed quietly in the imperial hospital, reading some books, and helping to water the medicine field. At night, he went to search for Zhengmeng to fill his stomach. He had been hungry for too long, and urgently needed dreams to fill his empty meridians.

Everything outside doesn't seem to affect him, but even if he didn't inquire specifically, the news still flew into his ears. After all, the fire in Nandinghou's mansion, which was missing for three full days, has become the talk of the whole capital after dinner, and the rumors have been spread. everywhere.

The most widely circulated version that is closest to the truth is that a monster was originally imprisoned in the water prison of the Hou Mansion to suppress the leylines, but now the monster ran away and set fire to the entire Hou Mansion.

Although being called a monster made Gu Chuan feel a little dissatisfied, but Gu Chuan had to admit that they were right besides that.

As for the idea of ​​suppressing the earth veins, Gu Chuan didn't quite understand it. He was just an ordinary dream eater, how could he have the ability to suppress the earth veins? It should have something to do with it.

Gu Chuan doesn't like talking very much. He has been bored in the water prison for a hundred years, and he has long been used to the days of silence, but Chen Zhong is different. He looks very gentle, but he is actually a talker. He can babble to the medicine yard by himself. He talked non-stop, and after having Gu Chuan, he intensified, telling Gu Chuan outside stories all day long.

Gu Chuan always listened quietly, never expressing his opinion, at most he hummed twice to show that he was listening. After a long time, Chen Zhong noticed that something was wrong—Gu Chuan seemed a little too gloomy.

This is not a good sign.

So sitting under the bodhi tree in the yard, Chen Zhong flipped through the medical books and said to Gu Chuan, "Talk more at ordinary times, don't be bored all day long, just smile and you will feel better."

Gu Chuan was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he mumbled.Immediately after he realized something, he raised his lips and pulled out a slightly blunt smile, nodded and said, "Okay."

After that, Chen Zhong no longer talked to himself alone.

Although the two of them haven't reached the point where they can chat smoothly, at least Gu Chuan can utter a complete sentence from time to time, instead of just humming and humming like before.

He is trying to change.

Fast forward to another half a year, and Gu Chuan has been in Tai Hospital for almost a year.The snow on the roof of the imperial palace gradually melted, and the light yellow wintersweet began to wither in the warm spring sun.Gu Chuan sat lazily on the steps to bask in the warmth. His body and bones have completely healed. After a year without worrying about eating and drinking, he seems to have grown a little taller.

The gossip has never ceased. The Holy Majesty brought a stunning woman back to the palace as a noble concubine when he was on a tour in the south of the Yangtze River a few months ago. People panic.

All of this has nothing to do with Gu Chuan. From the beginning to the end, he only cared about one person.

【six】

It was already late at night when the news came out from the palace.

The imperial concubine suddenly contracted an acute illness, and there was no one in the imperial hospital who could treat her. The Holy Majesty was furious and ordered all these "quack doctors" to be dragged out and beheaded.

Gu Chuan quietly sneaked into the palace. The huge palace was brightly lit. It was clearly the place where the emperor was, but he felt the overwhelming demonic aura.

Sure enough, it is the demon concubine.

Just glancing at the direction of the palace, Gu Chuan focused on finding Chen Zhong's trace. Fortunately, he didn't come too late. Although the emperor threatened to kill the imperial doctors, the prince who rushed over stopped the guards—— If they are all dead, where will they find so many people with superb medical skills in the future?

But Gu Chuan didn't care about that, he only knew that someone wanted Chen Zhong to die, so he took advantage of the night to make everyone present fall into a dream, and left this dangerous place with Chen Zhong who was also asleep, and headed for Jiangnan overnight.

Even if there is war, Jiangnan should be the last place to be affected.Gu Chuan thought, no matter what, he should at least let Chen Zhong live a safe and worry-free life.

Chen Zhong didn't wake up until the next day, and realized what happened. He had a big fight with Gu Chuan. He said it was a quarrel, but it was actually initiated by Chen Zhong unilaterally. He blamed Gu Chuan for making his own decisions— Regardless of the reason, once he left, he could never go back.

He is very clear about the reason why companionship is like companionship with a tiger, but this is the path chosen by his Chen family for generations, and he has never thought of leaving before.

Gu Chuan silently endured without a single rebuttal, and took care of everything for Chen Zhong on the long journey, refusing to let him suffer the slightest grievance.Chen Zhong was helpless, realizing that the stone would not give in and change his mind no matter what, so he had to compromise.

The two came to Suzhou, bought a property and temporarily settled down. After spending a few days getting used to the local customs, Chen Zhong picked up his old business. Instead of opening a medical clinic, he became a bell doctor.

Gu Chuan personally rang a string of silver medical bells for him. The crisp sound of the bells could be heard far away, and his spiritual power was infused into them, which could also be used for self-defense at critical moments.

Chen Zhong walked around the streets and alleys, with superb medical skills, his reputation quickly rose. In addition, he was gentle, elegant and talented. Many people found out that he was not married yet, so they tried to marry their daughters who had not yet left the court.

Gu Chuan, who helped him, saw everything in his eyes. Finally, one day, he couldn't bear the more intense eccentricity in his heart anymore, and said to Chen Zhong who was sorting out the medicine box by the window: "Do you want to marry a wife?"

Chen Zhong didn't seem to expect that Gu Chuan would ask him directly like this. He closed the medicine box, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Sooner or later."

Gu Chuan's face suddenly darkened: "You can't marry a wife."

Chen Zhong was surprised: "Why?"

Gu Chuan felt that it was a bit difficult to say, but he finally said it out: "You married a wife, what should I do?"

Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing, and then he turned serious and said softly: "It's okay, even if I marry a wife, I will stay with you."

"No." Gu Chuan felt extremely irritable. He stood up, walked in front of Chen Zhong, put his hands on the table and looked down at him: "You can only stay with me alone."

The smile on Chen Zhong's face gradually disappeared, and he leaned back slightly, trying to avoid Gu Chuan's beastly and aggressive gaze: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"..." Gu Chuan pursed his lips and said nothing. From the half-opened window, he could see the bright full moon in the night sky, and his nose was filled with the very familiar aroma of herbs.Something that was about to move in his heart was clamoring to break out of the ground, and finally he followed his instinct, put one hand on Chen Zhong's shoulder, leaned over and gnawed on it.

——I want you to be with me only in this life.

【Seven】

Chen Zhong rejected all the marriage proposals, but fortunately, it is now in troubled times, so it is not surprising that he insists on refusing to marry a wife.After walking outside for a day, Chen Zhong only felt that the pain in his back was even worse. Although he had given himself medicine, a certain fragile part of his body could not be healed so easily.

Gu Chuan followed behind Chen Zhong every step of the way. Ever since he became fully enlightened in a certain aspect that night, he never let Chen Zhong go out to practice medicine alone, for fear that he would be snatched away.

Reluctantly returning home all the way, Chen Zhong put down the medicine box and heaved a sigh of relief, and said solemnly to Gu Chuan who was standing at the door: "I will never be like yesterday again, I will be angry."

Gu Chuan tilted his head, thinking carefully about what he did to make Chen Zhong angry last night, he frowned and said in puzzlement, "But you are obviously very comfortable."

Chen Zhong, whose face was flushed, suddenly became angry and decided not to talk to him anymore.

At the beginning of June, the rebel army broke through the imperial city, and no place was peaceful during the change of dynasty. At the same time, the barbarians in the south were eager to move, trying to seize the opportunity to occupy the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was only natural that the war came, Gu Chuan carefully protected Chen Zhong, and lived in peace in a corner.Chen Zhong acquiesced in the current relationship between the two of them, and the first night was more like a pushover. Gu Chuan wondered if the two of them had been interested in each other for a long time, but he ran to ask Chen Zhong, but was chased away by him with a tiger face. To sort out the medicinal materials.

In this way, two years passed.

In the early days of the establishment of the new dynasty, everything was unstable, but Gu Chuan and Chen Zhong lived comfortably until midsummer of the third year, when a plague spread quietly.

The catastrophe broke out for no reason and threatening, and quickly washed the rich and safe land with blood. Chen Zhong was very busy, dealing with patients with festering body all day long. For a while, the streets and alleys were full of the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine , to mask the stench of rotting flesh.

Gu Chuan tried every means to lock Chen Zhong at home when he first treated the plague patients. He was too afraid that Chen Zhong would be infected, so he wished he could take him away in his pocket and escape far away.Chen Zhong had a big fight with him because of this, he said that in such a critical moment, if even he, the doctor, doesn't save people, who else can help those dying patients?

Gu Chuan couldn't stop him.I can only follow him all the time, and wash his hands over and over again after he touches the patient's festering body.

The night Chen Zhong had a high fever, Gu Chuan knew that everything was over.

He watched Chen Zhong comatose with a high fever, festering and pus began to fester from his limbs, and he could do nothing except give him the medicine he usually rations for patients.

He prayed to God, as long as Chen Zhong can get better, he is willing to do anything.

However, fate did not favor the two of them. Chen Zhong's condition worsened day by day. Gu Chuan heard that there was a sacred tree that could cure all diseases in the Nanman rainforest, but before he had time to leave, Chen Zhong died.

To this day, Gu Chuan still clearly remembers everything that evening—everything has been repeated in his mind too many times, the black crows howling low, the lingering rancid smell, the blood-red sunset in the sky, The yard was in a state of desolation due to neglect. He sat on a small bench and looked at Chen Zhong who was already unconscious on the bed.

The warm spring light of the Tai Hospital heated the bluestone steps, the spring water flowing from between his fingers was cool and sweet, and the silver medical bell hanging on his wrist gradually drifted away with the pace... In all his vivid memories, there are Chen Zhong's figure.

"I'll turn into who you like the most, and then go find you." He lowered his head and kissed Chen Zhong's lips, whispering.

Chen Zhong didn't respond, even though he was in a coma, his brows were still tightly frowned in pain. Gu Chuan had seen too many patients who were so painful that they wanted to cut off their limbs, so he could imagine how painful it was.

I'll help you, okay?

Gu Chuan closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Chen Zhong's neck, the pulse under his palm was rapid and weak - he didn't have much time.

As the sun set and darkness enveloped the land, Gu Chuan was silent for a while, and finally broke his neck bone neatly.

He would rather kill him with his own hands than let Chen Zhong suffer such inhuman pain again.

He carefully arranged Chen Zhong's remains, and raised his hand to touch the corners of his eyes.It was still completely dry there, and there was not a drop of tears.

Gu Chuan pressed hard on his aching chest, not daring to delay for a moment, and immediately divided his original power into two, and put it into Chen Zhong's soul that was about to fly away from his body.

He failed to protect him well in this life, so he can only hope that his meager strength can keep him safe in the next life.

【Eight】

Chen Zhong, who was suffocated in his sleep and woke up, opened his eyes and found that most of Gu Chuan's body was pressing on him helplessly.

He gently pushed the person on him, but he didn't push. Gu Chuan hummed twice, his head went straight into his shoulder, and hugged him even tighter.

Chen Zhong stared at the ceiling speechlessly. It has been more than a week since he picked up the seriously injured Gu Chuan from the door of his house. During this week, Gu Chuan has repeatedly challenged his bottom line by relying on his illness.However, Chen Zhong found sadly that no matter how much Gu Chuan went too far, he couldn't really get angry with him, as if all his temper had miraculously disappeared when facing Gu Chuan.

He had already realized this when he was working in the hospital. Gu Chuan had kissed him forcibly many times, but he had no other feelings other than shock, and in the end he even became numb to it.

"I must have owed you in my previous life..." Chen Zhong muttered to himself with a headache, he sighed, closed his eyes, adjusted a comfortable posture, and continued the interrupted sleep.

Soon Chen Zhong's breathing became calm again. Gu Chuan, who should have been sleeping in the dark, opened his eyes silently. With an uncontrollable smile on his lips, he kissed Chen Zhong's neck reverently.

After so many years, he has finally become what the other party likes the most, a cheerful, talkative and laughing person.

It's just that Chen Zhong still seems a little uncomfortable.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, they still have a long time in this life.
