Chapter 216 Thoughts
After that day, Gu Yun personally found Ale and Yulan and apologized to them in person.
Afterwards it seemed as if he had really returned to his former self, but Rong Su also understood that some things could not be let go just by saying so, it was just that he no longer dwelled on it.
After all, there were still traces in his heart. Rong Su knew that she could not escape the responsibility of this matter, so she thought that if possible, she hoped Gu Yun could try to accept Yu Lan.
To this end, she planned to secretly help Yulan.
A Le accepted Gu Yun's apology, but he definitely didn't look very happy towards Gu Yun.
Obviously, the anger had not completely subsided. Yulan was worried that Ale would take it out on Guyun while treating his leg, so Yulan specially made a lot of pastries to please Ale.
"Oh, Gu Yun simply doesn't know how to appreciate what he has. He doesn't cherish a good girl like Yulan and keeps dwelling on the past. I wonder if he's out of his mind." A Le took a piece of cake and took a big bite. His tone was full of disdain and dissatisfaction. Seeing Rong Su sitting aside, he started talking to her.
Rong Su smiled helplessly and did not answer this question. After all, this matter was quite relevant to her. She simply looked at the pots of Clivia in the middle of the yard that were growing quite well and changed the subject.
"I was sincere in wanting to pay my respects to your master. I wonder if Master Ale would be willing to tell me where your master's tombstone is?"
After hearing this, Ah Le finished a piece of cake, picked up another, looked at Rong Su, thought for a moment, and said in a slightly leisurely tone, "I know you are sincere, but the master's tombstone is far away. In fact, if you really want to pay your respects, you can just find a piece of sea."
Rong Su was slightly stunned. She didn't quite understand what this meant, so she asked, "Finding a sea area? Could it be that Master A Le hid your master's tombstone on the coast?"
Ah Le saw Rong Su's confused expression, which was rare to see, and burst into laughter: "Haha, how is that possible? Wouldn't it mean that when the tide rises, my master's tombstone will be submerged in the sea?"
Unable to tell whether Ah Le was joking or telling the truth, Rong Su was a little confused: "If not, then why are you looking for the sea area?"
"Oh, that's right. I won't keep you in suspense. The old master yearns for the freedom of the blue ocean. He said that if there is an afterlife, he wants to be a fish. Fish are not only free, but also have short memories. They don't need to worry about anything, so the burden is naturally lightened."
Ah Le saw that Rong Su hadn't figured it out, so he explained it directly.
"So, he asked me to scatter his ashes into the sea when he passed away, so that he could become a free fish."
Hearing this, Rong Su murmured softly, "Free and unburdened, without worries, will it naturally ease?"
Then, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she cast her gaze towards the somewhat azure sky, her tone much lighter: "I feel that your master's words have given me a revelation. I feel like I've suddenly become enlightened."
Ah Le had already finished a plate of cakes. When he heard Rong Su's words, he raised his hand and rubbed his chin a few times, thinking: "Really?"
Ah Le, who didn't feel anything at all, patted his stomach, then placed his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky, feeling a sense of satisfaction from having eaten and drunk enough. "Probably. But what he said were all profound truths, and generally, profound truths can always make people suddenly enlightened."
Rong Su pursed her lips and smiled, it was undeniable.
-
Two more days passed.
A Le began to prepare to treat Gu Yun's leg.
Because Rong Su is still needed as an assistant doctor, she also needs to assist.
"Don't be too nervous. The experiment we conducted was very successful." Although Ale still looked down on Gu Yun, as a competent doctor, he still tried to comfort Gu Yun from the perspective of a patient.
Gu Yun himself is a doctor, and he has some understanding of the condition of his legs. Moreover, the leg injury has lasted for so long, and he had no hope. But now there is a way to let him stand up again. He can't help but be nervous, and he is afraid that this hope will be dashed in the end.
Seeing that Gu Yun was silent and understanding his worries, Rong Su echoed A Le's words and comforted Gu Yun.
"Gu Yun. Leave this matter to Master Ale."
Gu Yun looked at Rong Su and found a hint of comfort in her determined eyes. He took a deep breath and nodded.
"Okay. Thank you for your help, Master Ale."
Ah Le nodded: "Alright. After this is over, you will owe me a big favor. Think about how to repay me when the time comes."
Gu Yun said seriously: "Whatever you want, I will do my best to repay you."
A Le glanced at him, said nothing more, and started to take action.
In this way, from one incense stick, to two incense sticks, and then to a full six incense sticks were burned.
Gu Yuer and Yulan, standing in the yard, were both very nervous.
Gu Yuer nervously held Yulan's left hand and said, "Sister Yulan, do you think my brother's leg can really be cured?"
Yulan was also nervous, but in order not to make Gu Yuer, a girl younger than her, worry, she had to pretend to be calm.
"Believe in Master Ale, he will definitely be able to heal Yun's leg."
Gu Yuer pursed her lips, her eyes never leaving the closed door.
In this tense atmosphere, Gu Yu'er still wanted to know one thing: "Sister Yulan, my brother said before that you did an experiment without telling him. What kind of experiment was it? Could it be related to healing my brother's leg? Is it something dangerous?"
Gu Yuer's series of questions left Yulan speechless. She didn't expect that this little girl could be so perceptive and could guess everything.
But the more this happened, the more she couldn't say it. She didn't want Gu Yun to think that she did this to make him owe her a favor.
"It's nothing. I'm just making medicine out of herbs and then doing some experiments. You don't have to worry." Yulan said it easily, without sounding like there was anything wrong.
Gu Yu'er pondered for a moment, still unable to resolve the mystery, so she continued to ask, "But why did brother get so angry? If he was just experimenting with herbs to come up with a formula."
Yulan's right hand, hidden under her sleeve, tightened slightly. She searched for words in her mind for a while, and then made up this excuse.
"Because some herbs are poisonous, there will definitely be some danger. Yun doesn't want us to take risks because of him, right?"
These words seemed to convince Gu Yuer. After thinking about it seriously, she nodded and did not ask any further questions.
Seeing this, Yulan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the tightly closed door was finally opened.
Gu Yuer and Yulan raised their heads at the same time, and then walked forward one after the other.
Seeing Rong Su coming out, Gu Yuer quickly asked, "Sister Rong! How is my brother?"
Yulan also looked at Rongsu nervously.
Seeing their faces full of worry, Rong Su didn't want to keep them in suspense and smiled at them: "As long as he rests for a few days and takes the appropriate prescription to regulate his meridians, Gu Yun will be able to stand up soon."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuer excitedly pulled Yulan's hands and jumped up and down.
"Great! Great!"
Yulan let Gu Yuer pull her and jump around. Her eyes were filled with tears and she looked at Rong Su with gratitude.
Seeing Yulan's look, Rong Su gave her a faint smile. Silently, they both understood each other's meaning.
"Miss Yu'er, can't you be quieter? Your brother is still asleep because Miss Rong pricked his sleeping point. But your voice is really penetrating. I think your brother will wake up soon. When he cries out in pain, it will be a real show."
A Le patted his shoulder, teased Gu Yuer in a light tone, walked out of the house, and closed the door.
When Gu Yuer heard what A Le said, she didn't bother with him about being teased, but immediately covered her mouth with her hands and carefully looked at the closed door.
Seeing her like this, Ah Le raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
Yulan had already walked up to Ah Le and bowed deeply to him: "Master Ah Le, thank you."
Being treated so solemnly, Ah Le was so frightened that he took a half step back. Then he immediately reacted and stepped forward to help Yulan up. He said helplessly, "Even if someone wants to thank me, it should be the one lying inside who should thank me. And he should also thank you."
Yulan knew what Ah Le was talking about. She shook her head, looked at Ah Le, Rong Su, and then at Gu Yuer. She said to Gu Yuer, "Yuer, I remember I just cooked some sweet porridge in the kitchen. I think Master Ah Le and Ah Su must be hungry. Can you help me heat it up?"
Gu Yuer saw that Yulan had something to say to Ale and Rongsu, so she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded tactfully and left.
After seeing Gu Yu'er leave, Yulan looked at Ah Le and Rong Su solemnly: "I hope you two won't tell Yun about the experiment. I don't want him to know that I was the one who experimented on him. Even if he asks, just use the excuse we wanted from the beginning. Thank you for your help."
Yulan was unwilling to say it, and Ale and Rongsu were unlikely to say it on their own initiative. After all, this matter was between her and Gu Yun.
Ah Le and Rong Su both understood. Ah Le stretched his waist and touched his stomach again: "Didn't you say there was sweet porridge? Then go and have some porridge. I'm really hungry now."
Seeing that A Le changed the subject, Yu Lan knew that he would not say it, so she looked at Rong Su.
Rong Su sighed, nodded to Yulan, and then echoed Ah Le's words: "I'll go with you to take a look. Maybe Yu'er is already cheating."
"Oh! That won't do. That was made by Miss Yulan for me, a man of great hard work and contribution." Ah Le said, and immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing him like this, Rong Su smiled helplessly, walked a few steps and stopped, glanced sideways at Yulan who was not moving behind her, and saw that she was looking at the closed door. She sighed lightly in her heart, shook her head and tried to catch up with A Le.
-
Gu Yun's leg will be healed soon, and Rong Su also wrote this matter on a letter and sent it to Shen Peiqing to read.
She received his letters every day. When she read the words he wrote in the letters, she could feel that he was at least safe, and then her uneasy heart would be at peace.
Gu Yuer came in at this time carrying a bowl of something: "Sister Rong, I made a bowl of jade lotus soup."
I saw her put the soup in front of her, and then moved a chair and sat next to her.
Rong Su raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't move her spoon. Instead, she looked at Gu Yu'er and asked, "You didn't come to me just to bring me a bowl of soup, did you? Do you want to know about the stone?"
Gu Yuer looked embarrassed, her intentions seen through. She laughed dryly, touched her nose, lowered her eyes, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I knew it. Sister Rong is so smart. There's no way she couldn't guess what I was thinking."
Rong Su saw that Gu Yu'er didn't deny it, so she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. This time, she picked up the spoon, stirred it gently, and said, "I thought you could endure it for a long time, and I thought you really weren't curious about the stone at all."
"How is this possible!" Gu Yuer suddenly became a little anxious, and her voice unconsciously rose a little. She realized that she was a little excited, and looked around as if feeling guilty, and then lowered her voice.
"I, I just don't know how to ask. I want to know his news, but I'm afraid to know his news. I know Shen Peiqing is leading the East Continent soldiers to fight against the North Continent. So he will definitely follow them."
Rong Su understood Gu Yuer's concerns. She put down the spoon in her hand, reached out and gently held her hand, and spoke softly.
"Are you worried that Shitou will die on the battlefield?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Rong Su could clearly feel Gu Yuer's hand tremble, and then her eyes began to turn red. She looked up at Rong Su like a wronged rabbit.
Afraid of scaring Gu Yu'er, Rong Su quickly said, "Okay. Don't worry, I receive letters from Aqing every day. Shitou is fine, and he's not on the battlefield. He's the deputy commander in the rear."
When she knew that Shitou did not go to the battlefield, Gu Yuer's heart, which had been worried all day, slowly calmed down.
Seeing that Gu Yuer's expression had relaxed a lot, Rong Su couldn't help but smile and patted the back of her hand lightly.
"If you want to know about Shi Tou's news in the future, you can actually send him a letter, right? Or do you have some concerns? Or did you have a fight?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuer lowered her eyes slightly, looking a little sad: "I don't mind him being like that. I am sincere to him, but I also understand that he doesn't seem to want to be with me."
Rong Su was stunned for a moment. She always felt that Gu Yu'er seemed to have some misunderstanding about Shi Toujian. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her, but she really didn't want to see this girl who treated her so well sad because of emotional matters.
"Yu'er." She called Gu Yu'er softly. After hearing it, Gu Yu'er looked up at her with a confused look.
Rong Su pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand and gently hugged her, letting her lean on her shoulder: "Have you asked Shi Tou in person?"
Gu Yu'er was silent for a moment, her eyes filled with bitterness as she shook her head, "No. I didn't dare. I was afraid that if I asked, the result would make me even sadder, so I chose to leave."
After hearing this, Rong Su understood in her heart that in the past, perhaps she really didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but now it is different.
After going through a lot with Shen Peiqing, she deeply understood the emotions between men and women. It was like two completely different people living in this world, but at a certain moment, they had one heart, their minds were connected to each other, and their feelings accompanied each other.
Gu Yuer is probably in the same situation as Shi Tou now. She is afraid that Shi Tou will reject her, so she chooses to retreat and dares not move forward.
"Yu'er. Don't let yourself have regrets in the future. The result is not important. Isn't it?" Rong Su looked at Gu Yu'er with a smile.
At that moment, Gu Yuer seemed to feel some indescribable touch in Rongsu's eyes, and gradually realized some things in her heart.
