Vol 5 Chapter 21: Afraid of pain (only to know)

After returning from the school grounds to the Dongchang base camp, it was already the afternoon after having lunch with the superintendent, Qianhu, and the guards.
The governor felt sorry for the apprentice and sent her back to the house to rest. Drinking medicine, taking a bath and changing clothes, it's night again after the toss.
Gu Yunxi entered the school for the first time, and facing the momentum of thousands of troops, it was tiring to watch with her eyes. Besides, not only did she stand all morning today, she also learned archery for a while.
She didn't feel anything uncomfortable when she first came back. It wasn't until the afternoon bathing that every bone in the body was sore, especially the two arms, which couldn't stop shaking between lifting and lowering, and could hardly even hold the teacup.
She opened her hands inadvertently, and was shocked.
Big and small blisters formed on the palm of his left hand and five fingers at some point. Through the protruding white skin, several of the blisters could be seen with strands of red blood.
The condition of the right hand is a little better, there is no blistering, just because of blindly holding the string, a clear purple mark is left on the index finger, although it is congestion, it is not completely broken.
These scars were worn out during the morning practice of archery and strong bow drawing. Gu Yunxi's skin was so soft and smooth, any slight damage immediately showed up.
She didn't care much about it, even though it was painful, she was not too far to endure it. If you want to do something well, it's really not as simple as talking about it. In addition to your own efforts, you always have to pay some price. Now this bit of pain is a very small effort.
The pain in Gu Yunxi's body seemed to be relieved a lot when thinking of the superintendent Leng Qingtang, and she gradually understood that the superintendent made many extraordinary actions in front of Duke Ming today to protect her.
In the past, he was always stuck with a handsome white face, and his expression was as cold as his surname, like an old-fashioned fairy who does not eat the fireworks in the world, which really made her fearful.
After entering the East Factory, she found out that he was a laughter.
The way the governor laughs is not like ordinary people's grin or full laugh, but the corners of his lips are delicate and delicate, and he silently releases a very gentle and elegant smile, which brings a very warm and practical feeling.
There was a "tuk-tuk" knock on the door outside.
"Girl, did you sleep?"
It's the governor!
Gu Yunxi quickly put on Fanwei's coat and opened the door.
Every time she moved her body, she felt like she fell apart. She slowly rubbed against the door and opened it.
"Supervisor, you haven't rested yet?"
"Just finished the official business, come to see you."
Leng Qingtang changed into a light green dressing gown. On his right hand was a small roll of linen cloth, and a small bottle of mutton white jade with a long neck. The mouth of the bottle was sealed by a cork wrapped in a red cloth strip.
"Sit down, too."
After taking a seat, Leng Qingtang tilted her head towards the chair next to her. Gu Yunxi sat next to him obediently.
"Stretch your hand out!"
"do what?"
Gu Yunxi was embarrassed. The pile of bubbles in her hand was too ugly, she really didn't want the gentle and considerate Governor Jun to see it.
Leng Qingtang only thought it was funny, her winged eyelashes blinked, and looked at her softly, her voice full of irresistible magnetism:
"Get it quickly, obedient."
"Oh..." With a flustered look, she honestly handed out her left hand.
He grabbed this little porcelain white hand and placed it under the candlestick to look closely, frowning.
"Sure enough, the situation is more serious than I thought. You girl is so honest, she doesn't know how to ask someone to get some medicine when her hands are so grounded."
After talking distressedly, his eyelashes moved, and he lied to Gu Yunxi and lied to him. br/>
"Supervisor, you... what are you doing?"
Gu Yunxi suddenly twisted his facial features, staring at the thin and shiny needle on the silver needle with shining eyes.
"Naturally pick the blisters on your hands and leave them alone, and you will become thick calluses over time."
Leng Qingtang held the silver needle in his hand and repeatedly burned the needle on the candle flame.
Gu Yunxi asked curiously:
"Supervisor, how do you know my hands are blistering?"
"Everyone who has learned how to ride and shoot will know it."
Gu Yunxi dragged half of his cheek with his right hand, resting his elbow on the table, watching Leng Qingtang bring the candlestick closer, then shook her injured left hand and used a needle to break the blisters one by one.
There is no discomfort.
Under the candlelight, Leng Qingtang's eyes were lowered, her long, thick eyelashes blocking the look in her eyes. His facial features were born beautifully and flawlessly, but now he looks even better when doing things quietly. People can't help but look at him a few more times, and then his atrium trembles slightly.
Suddenly, Gu Yunxi realized that the room was strangely quiet, which made people feel somewhat uncomfortable, so she started looking for all kinds of small talk topics.
"Supervisor, how old did you start martial arts?"
"Six years old." He replied without looking up, and continued to busy with his business.
"Who is your master?"
"The former supervisor of the East Factory."
"what is his name?"
"Bian Mo."
"Then where is he now? Our east factory is like the palace, is there any saying that he will be released at his age?"
Leng Qingtang didn't answer again, the expression on Jun's face was ups and downs. The long eyelashes blinked, pressing the fingertips.
"Oh! It hurts—"
Gu Yunxi felt the unusually sharp pain from the palm of his left hand, couldn't help but scream, and subconsciously took his hand back.
Leng Qingtang held on tightly, and said solemnly: "Don't move! The blood is squeezed out!"
"It hurts to death! Supervisor, can you lighten it..." Gu Yunxi pouted, his eyes flushed with grievance.
pain? "Leng Qingtang was surprised, and looked up at her sad little face: "I don't know, you are so afraid of pain. "
As if thinking of something particularly interesting, Leng Qingtang narrowed his eyes, smiling slyly.
"Originally! I am not afraid of anything except pain."
Gu Yunxi smiled idiotically, watching the superintendent apply medicated powder on her hand and wrap it in a soft linen cloth, but he didn't pay attention to his wicked smile at all.
Secretly raised her eyes to look at Gu Yunxi, and saw her eyes hanging shallowly, her beautiful watery eyes were bright and clear by the swaying candlelight, and her innocent and truly pitiful appearance made him feel Because of one sentence, I started all kinds of thoughts, how dirty and salty it is.
With a light cough, he let go of Gu Yunxi's left hand and said with a serious face:
"That's it, give that one to me!"
Gu Yunxi adjusted her head and stretched out her right hand, which was warmed by half of her cheek.
"Yeah, I almost got cut through the string..."
Leng Qingtang's expression was solemn when he saw the eye-catching traces of congestion on his fingers, and he complained deeply:
"Isn't it yelling that I'm afraid of the pain? It won't hurt after one day?!"
"Hey..." Gu Yunxi knew that he was kindly cherishing his apprentice, and smirked:
"At that time, so many people on the school court watched me shoot arrows, and they were still applauding me. I forgot everything when I was happy..."
"You just want to be strong as soon as your body is adjusted?"
"I'm not brave, I just can't be made fun of by Father Ming! Isn't it just drawing a bow and shooting arrows? I admit that I can't, then I can't study hard! Governor, I want you to teach me martial arts!"
Leng Qingtang shook his head, smiling softly:
"Your current age is no longer suitable for martial arts..."
"Ah? How can that work!"
Gu Yunxi looked anxious, tilted his neck unconvinced, and his voice was angry:
"Look at the reluctance of his two close attendants in the morning, as well as the fact that Ming Gong was helping both of them to beat the gong, both inside and outside of the public words. I'm so angry to think about it now!"
Leng Qingtang smiled disapprovingly:
"It's enough for a girl to take a horse drawn and open a bow. I really want to learn. How can I teach you some self-defense moves when you are fine?"
"Great!"
Gu Yunxi replied happily, and his expression immediately turned anger into joy. Staring at the governor for a moment, her expression resolutely:
"Supervisor, I am your apprentice, but I don’t want to always be protected by your wings. Once you told me that you have to walk by yourself, I will follow you to the East Factory to make myself stronger and let others see me. He will praise with envy: Look, he is the apprentice of Dongchang Governor Leng!"
Leng Qingtang was shocked by the strange brilliance of the twinkling stars in her eyes, and her heart was secretly moved. He didn't expect the little girl before him to say such ambitious words.
Caring is chaotic, it seems that he has too many concerns!
This girl, she has a strong heart
Leng Qingtang leaned towards Gu Yunxi slightly and looked straight into her clear and clear eyes, his expression was also unspeakably determined:
"Girl, you have to believe that I can definitely protect you! As long as you want, I will protect you anytime!"
There was a moment of silence, eyes facing each other--
Leng Qingtang's eyes reflected Zhang Qingchun's lovely little face, thin eyebrows, gentle and faint, Qiong nose and cherry lips, and the wide apricot eyes gleamed like water, crystal clear.
At this moment, this pair of delicate and simple facial features brought on the stubborn energy, yet light and tempting.
Gu Yunxi's vision was full of the superbly handsome face of Governor Langhua. The eyebrows are like ink painting, slender into the temples, the nose is high, the lips are thin, and the contours are clear face! Gu Yunxi looked greedily, deeply caught in the flawless beauty of his biyu.
There was a sudden gust of wind outside the house, and the door creaked slightly.
Both of them were regained.
Gu Yunxi's jaw lowered his eyebrows without saying a word, and the glazed radiance in his eyes flickered uncertainly.
Leng Qingtang moved the corners of her lips and smiled briefly. He picked up the linen strips on the table and covered the cork of the medicine bottle.
"The medicine is ready, and the hands will be fine tomorrow. To be on the safe side, it is best to keep your hands free from water. Just rest, I'm going back."
The medicine bottle and wrapped cloth remained on the table, and Leng Qingtang got up to leave.
"Supervisor, I will send you."
Gu Yunxi stood up, using too much force, her joint pain made her grinning.
"what's happenin?".
"It's okay, it's okay to practice arrows in the morning, and my arms hurt. Just sleep for one night."
"Sit down and I'll press it for you."
After thinking for a while, Leng Qingtang moved back, rolled up his sleeves and greeted Gu Yunxi to sit down. She took a few steps back in fright and shook her head desperately.
"No more! Governor, you have been busy for a day too, let's settle early..."
"Hurry up, loosening your muscles and bones will always feel better."
He has become accustomed to doing things that are easy. He pulled her, but she hid.
"I, I... awkward..."
Suddenly she lowered her eyes and faltered, her tiny face changed color in a hurry.
Leng Qingtang's expression was slightly condensed, and he smiled clearly:
"It's up to you, I'm back."
"Ok……"
Gu Yunxi responded vaguely, and refused to look up.
"Close the door and sleep. If you feel tired tomorrow, don't run around with me. Take a good rest."
Leng Qingtang had reached the door, but couldn't help but look back.
"Girl, you have only come to the East Factory for one month and you have grown up a lot..."
grow up……?
Like rocks falling into the clear and calm lake water, sparkling ripples...
He raised his head suddenly and saw the cheerfully gorgeous back.
Gu Yunxi stood at the door blankly, the scattered green silk fluttering in the night against the wind.
She covered her chest with her hand, and she clearly felt that something inside was burning hot, "dongdong" was beating, and it was hard for a moment.
To grow up is to put a person in your heart. Whenever I think of it, my heart is like a frightened deer, beating non-stop:,,
