Gu Xuezhou said to let him think about it again, but I don't know what Uncle Gu revealed to the Liu family, and within a few days, half of the people in the town knew that Gu Xuezhou and his former sister-in-law might want to get married.

Gu Xuezhou's former brother-in-law, Wang Bi, directly approached the person concerned as soon as he heard the rumors, "Could it be true?"

Gu Xuezhou stammered again, "Don't, don't be like this, the girl's name and reputation ......"

Wang Pyo's eyes widened, it seemed that Bacheng really had that meaning, he said subtly: "Do you know what the outside says about you now? They don't know that Liu Erniang eloped with the same person, they just thought that they were killed by you, and now the Liu family has not had a good business recently, and they have not paid the dowry, so they have to compensate you for the third daughter of Jiao Didi." I don't know who spread it, obviously he suffered a loss, but he became a wicked person who took advantage. ”

When he thought of the third lady, Gu Xuezhou felt uncomfortable, but whether he liked it or not, he didn't know, in the past, the little lady of the Wang family who was weak and gentle talked to him softly, he would stammer, and later the delicate and willful second lady of the Liu family was so arrogant that he also stammered.

Gu Xuezhou felt that what those people said was right, he was ugly, although he had a grange and a shop, he was not considered rich in the town, and now he still had Brother Mu, it was not that he disliked Brother Mu, but he also knew that he was even more difficult to say kiss...... It would be nice to have a girl willing to marry him.

Gu Xuezhou, who was full of sorrow, went to the school to pick up Brother Mu'er, and when he walked halfway, he suddenly swept something, he took two steps back, and found that there was a sick little milk cat lying under the corner of a shop on the side of the road, thin skin and bones, and the hair on his body was messy, as if he was dead, and he couldn't hear his occasional faint meow if he didn't listen carefully, Gu Xuezhou carefully picked up the cat and asked the person in the shop, "Is this your cat?"

"Gu Xiaodong's house. The guy said hello, shook his head and said, "We didn't raise it, I don't know where it came from." ”

"What about the big cat?" Gu Xuezhou asked.

"I haven't seen a big cat, maybe it's been abandoned, maybe the big cat is dead. The guy kindly reminded him, "Gu Xiaodong, this is a black cat, how unlucky......"

Gu Xuezhou nodded, and then took the cat away.

After Mr. finished speaking, Brother Mu packed up the stationery, and a few children next to him stepped forward, "Boss, I heard that your family is ugly...... Your big brother is getting married?"

Mu Ge'er glanced at him and said coldly: "Who did you listen to? How could my big brother marry such an ugly girl?"

The friends silently thought: No matter how you look at it, your big brother is ugly, okay...... It's just that you open your eyes and talk nonsense.

Brother Mu was in a bad mood, and when he went out to see Gu Xuezhou who was waiting for him, his face was slightly pale, and then he saw that Gu Xuezhou seemed to be holding this black briquette-like thing in his hand, squinted his eyes, ran over in small steps, and saw that it was a little black cat, "...... What is this?"

"Kitten. Gu Xuezhou said without raising his head, he was nervous about the kitten in his arms, he wanted to go back quickly after picking up Brother Mu, this kitten was a little sick, he had to get him some medicine, "Let's go back." ”

Gu Xuezhou pondered what medicine to use along the way, and he never chattered about Brother Mu'er's studies as usual. Brother Mu used to think that the ugly and noisy people were annoying, but today he didn't even look at himself, and only cared about the dirty and ugly black cat in his arms, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Xuezhou has a lot of experience in picking up stray kittens, otherwise he would not have evolved into picking up a child later, he has raised many cats, some have run away, some have given away, the last two have been fished back by Shi Niang because they are cute, she loves cats and has money, and has set up a cat park to serve the little hairballs of various colors. But it was the first time I picked up a black cat and came back.

Gu Bo also felt unlucky, and asked in disbelief: "How did you pick up a black cat and come back." ”

Gu Xuezhou frowned, "I can't watch him die, can I?"

Mu Ge'er watched Gu Xuezhou work for the cat with cold eyes, and he didn't make love to himself anymore, and gave the annoying old Uncle Gu a rare look of approval.

Gu Bozhen didn't want to share the same hatred with him, looked back, glared, and walked away: You are more unlucky than this black cat!

Gu Xuezhou found an old basket, cut the old clothes he didn't want to make a nest for the cat, and carried the kitten into the house in the basket in front of Brother Mu.

Brother Mu'er's eyes widened, "Why did you get it in?"

Gu Xuezhou explained: "I washed it, and I also applied medicinal powder, and there are no lice. ”

Mu Ge'er: "......"

Under Gu Xuezhou's careful care, the little black cat got better day by day, and Gu Xuezhou also named him "Briquette", because of his soft voice, well-behaved and cute, he was even favored by Gu Xuezhou for a while.

In terms of household registration, the government finally got a notice, but Gu Xuezhou hadn't thought about what name Mu Ge'er should take in their family, so he simply let Mu Ge'er decide for himself, "How about you choose a name yourself?" ”

"Hmm......" Brother Mu thought and heard a meow from the side of the bed.

Gu Xuezhou was also attracted to attention, and when he looked at it, the front paws of the briquettes were wagging their tails and meowing at the bed with their round eyes, Gu Xuezhou smiled and bent down to hug the cat.

"What?" Brother Mu leaned over, his face was pale, and his eyes stared at the kitten fiercely.

I don't know if it was because of the innate perception of a beast that made the kitten feel the killing intent, he shuddered, turned around and ran, and didn't dare to look into his basket.

Gu Xuezhou: "?"

When he turned around, Brother Mu no longer had the yin owl on his face, he looked simple and cute, pulled Gu Xuezhou and said, "It's okay, you can name me, I like anything." ”

Gu Xuezhou thought, why is Brother Mu so sweet recently...... It's just that I hugged him tighter at night, which made him a little breathless......

I don't know how long it took, Brother Mu heard the slow and long breathing of the people around him, and knew that Gu Xuezhou had fallen asleep.

He glanced into the corner.

―― Even a cat dares to compete with me for pet?!

Mu Ge'er thought worriedly, he was really heartbroken for the ugly monsters, an ugly girl wanted to rob the ugly monsters, and suddenly a cat appeared out of nowhere to share the pet. There is only a rumor about that ugly girl, and there is no hurry to deal with it, this cat has already entered the house, and almost even came up to the bed!

He's got to deal with this little brute first.

But how?

Although he hadn't killed a kitten or a dog, he thought it was a big deal if he did, but if that was the case...... It's going to be hated by ugly monsters...... Is there any way to get rid of the cat smoothly and keep his innocent and kind image? In fact, he hates this cat to death, but he hates to be ugly and close to it. When Brother Mu saw the ugly monster feeding the cat something to eat, the cat was rubbing and licking, which was very shameless. He really can't stand it, and sometimes he has to rush to feed the cat.

The next day, Gu Xuezhou woke up early, got up first as usual, and the kitten also woke up, poked his head out of the basket to peek at Gu Xuezhou, shook his ears, and meowed softly. Gu Xuezhou walked over on tiptoe, squatted down, put his index finger on his lips, shhhed at the kitten, and said in a low voice: "Brother Mu is still sleeping......

He touched the kitten's head, thinking to himself, it seems that Brother Mu has become more well-behaved since the kitten came, it seems that children should have more contact with small animals.

In order not to wake up Brother Mu, Gu Xuezhou took the cat to the yard, and the thick white porridge in the kitchen was still cooking on the stove, gurgling with the fragrance of rice, and it would be good for a while.

The east was getting whiter, and when the dew on the leaves was hidden in the daylight, someone was knocking on the side door.

Gu Xuezhou hugged the cat and asked, "Who is it?"

"May I ask if it's Gu Mansion?"

Gu Xuezhou glanced out from the crack in the door and opened the door, "My surname is Gu, I don't know what the two masters have to do?"

There were two monks standing outside the door, both wearing black and gray magnolia monk's robes, wearing hats, stepping on straw sandals, standing in front of them was an old man with a pale hair, holding a tin staff in one hand, and a string of prayer beads in the other, and one step behind him was a tall young monk, the edge of his hat was slightly slanted, and the shadow was covered on his face, and he was so tall that Gu Xuezhou couldn't see his face clearly.

The old monk took his apprentice and bowed to Gu Xuezhou, "I don't know if Mr. Gu Qinghong is here?"

"Are you looking for Master Gu? Master Gu is in Fucheng. Gu Xuezhou said.

The old monk asked, "Is it a medical visit?" Didn't Mr. Gu open a Shangshan Hall here?"

Gu Xuezhou smiled and said, "Yes, a few years ago, Master Gu moved the medicine hall to Fucheng. ”

The old monk nodded clearly: "Thank you for the donor's guidance, the poor monk will not bother." ”

As soon as the words fell, a cooing fasting sound suddenly sounded.

"......," Gu Xuezhou asked tentatively, "Two masters...... If you don't mind, a big pot of white porridge has just been cooked on the stove. ”

The old monk's face did not change, and he folded his hands and waved at Gu Xuezhou: "Then thank you to the donor." Turning back slightly, he called out to the young monk, "See." ”

Is it a clarification that does not stop being dusty? Gu Xuezhou thought silently, and led the two monks into the courtyard.

"Thank you, donor. Monk Jianming walked to Gu Xuezhou's side and saluted him again, his voice was deep and deep, and he took off his hat as he spoke, and the sky shone on his face.

Gu Xuezhou saw his face clearly and couldn't help but be stunned. He and Mu Ge'er were already very white, this monk was whiter than them, and it was the kind of white without blood, his facial features were deep, his nose was high and his eyes were deep, his eyelashes were thick and long, he seemed to be an alien, but his facial features were softer than the aliens Gu Xuezhou had seen. His eyes were a pale amber color, and the light shone golden when it fell in.

Uncle Gu heard that the old monk was an old friend of Master Gu, so he warmly entertained them, and took the initiative to take them to the ferry after eating, and the fare was also paid.

Gu Xuezhou went to the store to open, and when he was about to settle accounts on the counter, Gu Bo came back, his face was strange, and he looked at Gu Xuezhou as soon as he entered the door.

Gu Xuezhou looked uncomfortable, "What's wrong?"

Gu Bo shook his head, closed his mouth, and said nothing. Before the old monk left, he said that he had received the favor of their meal, and he wanted to repay them for giving them a pointer, and said that Brother Mu'er's face was a little restrained by Gu Xuezhou, if this went on for a long time, the little master of his family would be cut off from his daughter's fate, and he would have no children and no queen.
