C15 Gu Caiwei's Permeability

Song Duo didn't reply. He picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, blacking out everything he had just written.

Seeing his actions, Gu Caiwei's heart ached. She repeatedly said, "No need to apply it, no need to apply it. I won't look at it. It will be fine after burning it tomorrow morning."

This wastrel! She had wanted him to write two more times, but he had not only written one, but he had also written so loosely that he had to waste ink and ink.

Song Duo didn't listen to her and continued to move his hands slowly.

Gu Caiwei could do nothing but glare at him angrily, and the more she looked, the more she felt that something was wrong, "What's wrong with the pen? "Why is it so short?"

"It's broken." Song Duo glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be saying, look at the inferior stuff you bought.

Gu Caiwei was about to explode with anger. Are you using a pen or a brush!?

But under the eaves, people had to lower their heads to get to the bottom of it. It was Master Soong who paid for it. If she had money, she would throw it into the water. She didn't have any temper.

"The Zhu Men's wine and meat stink, and they can freeze to death on the road." She muttered softly. I'm going to sleep. "

Song Duo didn't even bother to give her a look. He was focused on scribbling paper, as if he was lost in thought.

"What secret? I'm not even going to look at it." This time, Gu Caiwei's voice was loud. "The more you know, the sooner you will die. Hmph!" She rolled over to face the wall.

Song Duo put down his pen and put out the oil lamp.

Gu Caiwei had slept for most of the night, and now she was completely awake. With a little problem in her mind, she rolled over and over on her bed, causing the bed to creak.

"Cousin, are you asleep?" After a long while, she whispered.

"I'm asleep." Song Duo's voice was calm.

Gu Caiwei: "…"

Forget it, he might as well tell him so that he won't fall asleep due to the guilt in his heart.

"There's bad news for you."

"Speak."

"Today, no, yesterday, when I went to the market in town, I heard someone say … It was said that Third Prince had colluded with the Huns to give the military map to the Huns, and had been captured. He was going to fight the Huns, but now he couldn't. Since they already know our secret, what's the point of fighting? "The emperor wants peace. The Huns want a lot of food. The emperor is very angry, and now he's investigating the spies in the army …"

Song Duo's heart was filled with both shock and pain. The situation had actually developed to such an extent! It was even worse than he expected!

Calm down, he told himself, his fists clenched at his sides, veins popping out, palms wet.

"It's not good news, but what does it have to do with me?"

In the darkness, Gu Caiwei made a disdainful expression, "I knew you would say that." She said angrily, "Continue to act. If it really has nothing to do with you, then you just need to move your left ear in and out of my right ear. I'm going to sleep. "

She pulled the covers over her head, and in less than ten seconds, stifled, kicked the covers away.

The air was silent and suffocating.

Gu Caiwei heard Song Duo's heavy breathing.

She said quietly, "I know. You think I'm stupid. I'm really stupid."

She had come to this era with modern ideas and knowledge, but found that there was no such thing as an entrance to this world, no place of use, just a fool drifting away from this era.

She did not understand the values of the women here. They were not hot, and she had never read any of the four books. She was alive here, and she lived by instinct. She did not know why.

Song Duo felt that her voice suddenly became hoarse and suppressed. However, each word was clear and organized.

"I don't understand your world, but I know it's complicated. Your family background is very good, you might be a son of an influential family, or you might be a descendant of a famous family. "

Song Duo's heart suddenly tightened.

Gu Caiwei continued, "You can see this from the way you are raised. And," she chuckled, "I can also see it from the way you stick your hand into your clothes and open your mouth."

What she didn't say was, imposing manner, that was the most important thing. He wasn't someone who had lived under others for a long time.

He was known for not wanting to use too many servants, Song Duo thought.

"You're a soldier." she said firmly, without hesitation.

Song Duo's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened up.

"You sit, sit, sleep. There is a rule for you to keep your weapons with you. The calluses on your palms and fingers, especially the one on your thumb that is extra pale, all indicate that you have gone through rigorous military training. Your vigilance, your temperament, made me guess. And I think I'm right. Because you and I, my father, have something in common. "

Gu Caiwei's heart ached when she thought of her father's words, even though she was in a foreign world.

She was indeed the daughter of a military general.

Song Duo thought about it.

"At the beginning, I thought you were a bandit, but then I saw that you didn't have the same temperament. Then, I thought about the first time I saw you, you were hugging me and I guessed that the only reason you were escaping was because … Because of some of the upper class struggles that we, the common people, don't have access to, and because of what I've heard in the town recently, I think it might have something to do with you. " Gu Caiwei said, "It doesn't matter. You don't need to tell me. I will only tell you what I know, and then you can decide what to do."

Song Duo was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you tell me right away when you came back?"

Gu Caiwei smiled bitterly. "You are a smart person and I am a fool." A fool should never try to tell a wise man anything. After I tell you, you must have a lot of suspicions about me. "I'm afraid to add to my distress."

"Then why did you tell me?"

"Because I'm afraid of delaying you." Gu Caiwei said. Furthermore, you are worried about me and are willing to drag your sickly body to the village entrance to wait for me. I am very grateful. "

But I don't want to owe you that.

The two of them understood each other as they did not say anything.

Song Duo was silent for a long time.

"Who is your father?" He suddenly ended the conversation with this question.

"He's gone." Gu Caiwei felt that her eyes were moist. Even if she forced herself to go upwards, she could not stop the tears from flowing into her hair.

He was a soldier, and he loved her dearly. He visited her family once a year, and whenever he returned home, he would always place his head on his shoulders.

However, she didn't have any good fortune.

There was no blood relation between him and her.

It was easy to imagine how awkward her situation would be when her secret of the great humiliation of being a man was revealed.

He had given up on her, and that woman who pursued happiness had also given up on her. The only thing that remained for her was her grandfather.

However, she still loved him a lot. She thanked him for giving her such a warm and youthful time. So he was the beneficiary of all the insurance she had bought for herself.

He'd probably already received it. This was her apology and compensation for him — even though she was right about something.

However, her existence was a mistake in the first place.

Song Duo tried his best to recall the generals who had died or fought in the past dozen of years. However, because the clues were too vague, he was unable to match them.
