Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 240: The Tiger Girl Follows the Good
"So, that's why you came up to me all of a sudden?"
In the hall of the side courtyard, Li Si sat in front of Dugu Bufu, pressing his forehead with his hand, and spoke with a gloomy face.
Just now, he learned the general cause and process of the whole incident from Dugu Bufu. Now he just felt a headache.
What kind of mental journey does it take to think of him as a woman, bastard?
"Yeah." Dugu Bufu sat opposite Li Si. One side of his cheek was swollen, but his expression was still neither sad nor happy.
Judging from his calm appearance, he probably has no awareness that he has done anything wrong.
"Hu." After letting out a long breath, Li Si forced himself to calm down.
After all, Dugu Bufu didn't do anything excessive. Instead, he punched the other party because he was in a bad mood. Since he was not in the right , his attitude naturally could not be too tough.
Trying his best to make his tone sound softer, Li Si looked at Dugu Bufu again and spoke.
"Then I'll tell you again, I'm a man, that's for sure, you don't have to think about it anymore."
Dugu Bufu did not speak, but just moved his eyes to Li Si's chest, looking at the white cloth that was exposed from his slightly messy clothes, and obviously did not believe what Li Si said. He even began to look at Li Si with a pity expression, probably wondering what kind of experience Li Si had to have to deny himself like this.
Clearly feeling Dugu Bufu's gaze, Li Si's eyes twitched unconsciously again.
Calm down, calm down.
After repeatedly admonishing himself in his heart, Li Si took a deep breath and sat down close to Dugu Bufu. Then he took Dugu Bufu's hand and placed it on his chest in the other's stunned and astonished eyes.
"Do you believe it now?" Holding Dugu Bufu's hand and pressing it against his chest, Li Si asked helplessly with his mouth pulled.
Feeling the smooth touch in his hand, Dugu Bufu was completely stunned.
Perhaps for him, the world was changing too fast, so that his thinking could no longer keep up.
"The reason I'm tied with these strips of cloth is because I was injured before. Okay, I've explained everything I need to explain. Just sit down first. I'll go get you some medicine."
Having said this, Li Si let go of Dugu Bufu's hand, stood up, and walked out of the hall.
Outside the house, Shu Hunu had just finished cleaning up the broken pieces of the teapot on the ground. When she saw Li Si coming out, she became flustered again and explained immediately.
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything."
"What are you thinking about?" Li Si, feeling helpless, bent a finger and tapped her forehead.
"That guy Dugu Bufu was just having a fit just now. He actually thought I was a woman. Do you think I was wronged?"
At this, Shuhu Nu was stunned for a moment, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought something strange had happened between the two of them.
However, after hearing what Li Si said, she also began to look at Li Si's appearance. After a long while, she looked away, pursed her lips and spoke in a low voice.
"It's really not unfair..."
"Ah, what did you say?" Li Si asked with a smile while standing aside. There seemed to be a few more wisps of black air behind him.
She shuddered subconsciously and immediately changed her words seriously.
"It's unfair, it's so unfair!"
"Yeah." Li Si nodded with satisfaction, then looked around and asked, "By the way, where did I put the medicine I used up last time? I'll take some to Dugu Bufu."
"Oh, they are all in the inner room. Wait a moment, I'll get them for you."
After saying this, the tiger girl fled away.
Now even she understood that she couldn't stay with Li Si for long, otherwise who knows if innocent people would be affected.
When Li Si walked back to the hall where Dugu Bufu was, he had a bottle of medicine in his hand. This medicine was prepared by him, and the raw materials were all in the back mountain. It was quite effective in treating injuries, congestion and swelling.
I just don’t know if the brain can be cured.
"Just sit down." Seeing Dugu Bufu looking like he was going to get up and apply the medicine himself, Li Si sighed and said.
"You can't see clearly, I'll just apply it on you. I couldn't stop myself and punched you just now, so I'm apologizing to you now."
As he spoke, Li Si sat down next to Dugu Bufu, opened the medicine bottle, took out some ointment and applied it on his face.
The punch he just delivered was quite powerful. Even if it was Dugu Bufu, someone with lesser martial arts skills would probably have to stay in bed for four or five days before getting up.
But even so, looking at Dugu Bufu's face that was as swollen as a pig's head, it would probably take at least half a month for the swelling to go down.
Dugu Bufu had adjusted his mentality by now, but he was still a little depressed. After all, the reason why he was beaten was nothing more than what he deserved. And if the reason was told to others, it would probably make those idle people laugh for two or three years.
Fortunately, the only people who knew about the whole thing were him, Li Si, and Shu Hu Nu. None of the three of them were talkative people, so no one would go out and spread rumors.
As for Yan Jinling, I just hope he can behave himself. Otherwise, I should consider whether to "kill him to silence him".
Dugu Bufu still knew something about Yan Jinling's weakness.
As the ointment was spread, a cool and tingling sensation came on his cheeks again. Dugu Bufu frowned slightly and glanced sideways at Li Si who was sitting next to him.
At this moment, Li Si was concentrating on applying medicine to him, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes were serene, like a pool of autumn water, calm and peaceful.
Unconsciously, Dugu Bufu thought of the person from the beginning again. Although everything was just a misunderstanding from the beginning to the end, he still noticed it inadvertently.
The quiet Li Si seemed to have a unique temperament, like orchid or bamboo, clear and transparent, not pretending to be anything else, not disturbing in words and deeds. In the hall, the smell of ancient wood and herbs mixed together, creating a scent that seemed to penetrate people's hearts and soothe people's depressed mood.
The sunlight outside shone in, spreading on the ground and making the hall half bright and half dark.
For a moment, Dugu Bufu's expression also calmed down along with this atmosphere.
His brows relaxed and he looked at Li Si silently, feeling the cool touch of the hand on his face. Unconsciously, a sense of trance and peace appeared between his brows.
"Why are you looking at me?" Li Si suddenly asked.
A trace of surprise flashed across Dugu Bufu's eyes, and he silently withdrew his gaze and answered lightly.
"nothing."
"Don't move if there's nothing wrong. Don't blame me if you get a scar."
After turning Dugu Bufu's head, Li Shi poured some medicine into his hand and rubbed it on Dugu Bufu's face.
Looking at the hall in front of him, Dugu Bufu suddenly thought of something that Shu Hunu had said to him before for some reason.
This is where Li Si grew up.
Living in such an empty ancient temple, I wonder what this person looked like when he was a child. Was he as unfathomable as he is now?
Or, it would be simpler.
Taking a casual glance at the altar without a Buddha statue in front of the hall, Dugu Bufu felt as if he saw the child who had sat there all those years ago.
He might be wearing a monk's robe, sitting next to another old monk, listening to Buddhist scriptures, day and night, over and over again, until he did it over and over again.
