Chapter 36: Spirit Ants
Guan Kaihui glared angrily at his beloved daughter, Guan Zhihe didn't dare to say anything more, and asked He Xiu: "You are a market peddler, a person at the bottom of the well, you dare to look up to the old man's beloved daughter, the toad is still a toad, hum!"
He Xiu clenched his teeth, raised his head, his face did not change, and said slightly: "What Master Guan said, He Xiu can't agree, I want to live in Huangpu, the founding king of our dynasty, he is from a more humble background, and he is the most admired emperor ...... in the history of Danhua Continent." ”
"Enough!" Guan Kaihui didn't want to listen any longer, and interrupted He Xiu's words: "Take the silver taels you deserve, the old man will never want to see you again in the future." ”
The corners of He Xiu's mouth lifted a trace of self-deprecation, turned his head and spilled it, and strode away: "No need!"
Guan Zhihe watched He Xiu leave in a dashing manner, and he couldn't catch up, so he glared at Guan Kaihui fiercely, and ran to the bedroom with tears in his eyes.
A simple bedroom, a simple table and stool, a jar of sausage spirits, a lonely young man, a heart cracked to the edge.
He Xiu kept pouring the wine jar into his mouth, the liquor was bitter and salty, and the three jars were not drunk.
He Xiu also thought about coming to this point with Guan Zhihe, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and so embarrassed.
They are all the same people in the world, born without equal, long in injustice, and the heavens and the earth coincide.
These sixteen words, He Xiunian muttered all night, he hated the hierarchy built by human beings privately, let himself fall into the unfairness of the well, he hoped that heaven and earth would be reunited and drown these dust.
He Xiu, who was immersed in grief, had a pain in his neck like a snake and scorpion, and he subconsciously reached out to pat it, but his fingertips were also bitten.
He Xiu remembered the insects and ants that he brought back from the Chang family ancestral hall, and hurriedly pulled out his hand to watch, a red insect ant was lying on his fingers sucking blood.
He Xiu quickly made a move, pressed his fingers on the table, and wanted to twist it to death, but after feeling the feeling that his fingers were not touching, he stared at the red insect ant that had burrowed into the table.
"It's not good, it's hard to close the family!"
He Xiu suddenly felt a chill on his back, kicked away the wine jar with his feet, picked up the horsewhip and went straight to the Guan family.
The doorman of the Guan Mansion was entangled with He Xiu and told him that according to the master's explanation, no one named He Xiu could enter.
He Xiu couldn't be stubborn, so he had to cross the high wall and hurriedly ran towards Sha Jiannan's bedroom, at the critical moment, he kept a clear head and didn't go straight to Guan Kaihui, because he knew that Guan Kaihui wouldn't believe it at all.
Sha Jiannan didn't follow He Xiu's request, he was secretly drinking spirits by himself, and he was embarrassed when he saw He Xiu breaking through the door: "Brother He, why are you here?" Oh, I only drank a little bit, hehe." ”
He Xiu didn't say much, and said hurriedly: "Was there anything suspicious about Xiao Daoren when he came that day?"
Sha Jiannan crooked his neck and carefully recalled the scene of that night and said: "No, he just drank with me, you know what happened later, see you are nervous like this, what's wrong?"
He Xiu said more hurriedly: "You think about it again." ”
Sha Jiannan patted his head: "Hmm... Oh, by the way, when he came, he brought the evidence found in Chang's house, and I have also seen it, it is a common swarm of insects and ants, look at your fuss. ”
"That's the insect ants that have become spirits!" He Xiu stomped his feet and blamed himself for being careless: "Where are they now?"
Sha Jiannan also sobered up for half a minute: "At Master Guan's place, he said that he wanted to see what the insects and ants that harmed his reputation were, and I didn't think much about it at that time, so I gave it to him." At this time, the drunken had completely woken up: "It's bad, Master Guan is in danger!"
He Xiu and Sha Jiannan ran towards Guan Kaihui's bedroom one after the other, but unfortunately they were already a step late.
Thirty servants holding firewood stood in two rows on either side of the bedroom door, and He Xiu saw Guan Kaihui being pushed and shoved out by two stout servants, Scar following behind, holding a wooden tray in his hand.
"Scar, let go of Master Guan if you know each other, otherwise, I'll let you taste Grandpa Sha's power!" Sha Jiannan was about to rush to kill with a long sword in his hand.
"Don't mess around, this will only make Master Guan more unclear. He Xiu stopped him and explained the important thing.
"But ......" Sha Jiannan wanted to speak and stopped, very unwilling.
Scar handed the tray to the official standing in the first position at the door, and clapped his hands lazily: "Hey, I can't imagine that the dignified customs officer would feed such a ruthless insect ant, you say, you just feed it, why do you want to use it to harm people? Hehe, this official really can't figure it out." ”
Guan Zhihe also rushed over angrily with a short sword in his hand, and was hugged by He Xiu: "He'er, calm down." ”
"How do you want me to calm down? This is obviously framing my father, let me go, and let me kill him. Guan Zhihe's emotions were uncontrollable and he said in a tearing voice.
He Xiu touched Guan Zhihe's forehead and comforted: "He'er, you will only make your father fall into a deeper quagmire, don't worry, with me, your father will be fine." ”
Scar crossed his hands on his hips and shouted an order: "Take it away!"
Guan Kaihui never glanced at the two, but just followed the official coldly.
Guan Zhihe's eyes were full of tears, and she could only let the officials take Guan Kaihui away.
"Brother He, what now?" Sha Jiannan clenched his long sword and asked.
He Xiu narrowed his eyes and shot out a cold light: "Guo Fengxiao father and son!"
Guan Zhihe and Sha Jiannan didn't understand what he was talking about: "Brother He Xiu, you said that he did this?"
"Yes, I seriously injured Guo Zhenxing, and he did this to take revenge on me, and of course you, He'er. He Xiu clenched his fists and said heavily.
Guan Zhihe remembered Guo Zhenxing's words that night, and already understood, and her emotions stabilized: "He wants to snatch He'er back from your side, so as to humiliate Brother He Xiu, right?"
Sha Jiannan was so angry that he took off a mouthful of saliva: "This father and son surnamed Guo are really not a thing, Brother He, you say, do we still have a way to rescue them?"
He Xiu was also very forgiving, so he only picked up comforting words and said, "I don't know what to do at the moment, but one thing is certain, they won't hurt Master Guan." ”
Guan Zhihe's mood fluctuated again: "Brother He Xiu, you quickly think of a way, if my father has a mistake, what can He'er do...... By the way, my brother, I immediately sent someone to inform my brother, he must have an idea. ”
Guan Zhihe immediately arranged for a messenger, and He Xiu and Sha Jiannan stood in place anxiously thinking of a way.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, after He Xiu put Guan Zhihe, who had cried all night, to sleep, he came to the living room alone and sorted out his thoughts.
There are only two ways to ensure Kwan Kaihui's innocence.
First, please come forward to show that the insects and ants are not specially fed by Guan Kaihui to frame the Chang family, but from the growing zone.
This is obviously impossible, the ancestral hall is the most sacred place for every family, and the rich and noble families pay more attention to it, and now that the ancestral hall has collapsed, the Chang family must hate the Guan family to the extreme.
Second, find the nest where the insects and ants live.
At present, there are only two places where it grows, one is the place where the cypress tree grows, and the other is under the foundation of the Changjia ancestral hall.
He Xiu regretted in his heart that he didn't turn the foundation out for survey, revealing the most critical details.
With the direction of exploration in his heart, he was a little confident, and he lay down on the table and slept peacefully.
When the rooster crowed, He Xiu saw Guan Zhihe sitting opposite with hazy eyes: "He'er, you go and rest for a while, don't be too anxious, I have already thought of a way to save your father." ”
Guan Zhihe jumped up and down when she heard this, with a look of adoration on her face: "Brother He Xiu, is it true?"
He Xiu stretched his arms and repeated the method he thought of last night to her, Guan Zhihe said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, without further ado, let's hurry up and find their place of survival." ”
"He'er, it's better for you to stay at home, and leave the matter to me and Mr. Sha. He Xiu said softly holding her fragrant shoulder.
Guan Zhihe insisted on going, He Xiu still insisted on the request just now, but thinking that the black-clothed assassin had not been caught, he agreed to go with Guan Zhihe.
He Xiu, Guan Zhihe, and Sha Jiannan rode dozens of light horses and came to the foot of the hiding mountain.
Guan Zhihe deliberately changed into a black suit, and the green silk was coiled, leaving only a little broken hair on his forehead and temples, He Xiu couldn't help but see his god and forgot to dismount.
"Brother He, it's here. ”
"Brother He, the Hiding Mountain has arrived. ”
Sha Jiannan shouted twice in a row, and He Xiucai came back to his senses: "Oh, okay, hurry up." ”
This mountain road is very simple for He Xiu, Sha Jiannan is also okay, and the rest of the family members are also in the prime of life, but Guan Zhihe is the only one who falls last.
Passing through the woods, except for He Xiu and Sha Jiannan, the rest of the people sat down and gasped for breath.
He Xiu handed a bag of fresh water to Guan Zhihe: "He'er, are you sure that the cypress grows on top of the cave where the double spirit leopard lives?"
"Well," Guan Zhihe nodded in affirmation: "He'er followed her father here when she was a child, and she also planted a cypress tree with her own hands, although fifteen years have passed, He'er still remembers." ”
Of course, He Xiu knew that Guan Zhihe remembered this, and what he wanted to determine was why the double spirit leopard inhabited here, and the insects and ants also lived here, what was so wonderful about this mountain, and would there be other spiritual creatures?
After about half a cup of tea, the troops set off again, and when they passed through the outer cave of the spirit leopard, He Xiu took a look and led the team to climb the mountain.
He Xiu's eyes were filled with thousands of orderly planted cypress trees, and he soon came to the stump that had just been cut down.
Dozens of people divided into heads and started to move with planers, He Xiu rolled up his sleeves, and he was the first to uproot the stump.
The rest of the people only harvested one when He Xiu pulled up the fourth stump.
When the time passed, hundreds of tree stumps had been uprooted, and He Xiu chewed the soil inside in his mouth one by one, and then ordered to dig deeper.
The group worked hard to dig out fresher soil in the depths, and He Xiu chewed the soil again according to the first method, but still did not feel the hard object holding his teeth.
With He Xiu's fifth order, the dug stump pit was already nearly one person high.
He Xiu chewed in the same way every time, and still didn't have the hard object he wanted.
