Chapter 023: The Truth
After the students stood up according to their classes, Yang Guang, the deputy head of the school, first asked the teachers to count the number of students.
"Let's make three chapters of the law: 1. Don't enter the forbidden area, don't damage anything here, and if you find one, you will be arrested and sent to be a soldier, whether it is a man or a woman. ”
"Second, pots and pans and ingredients are available, and students in each class cook their own meals. There are skilled people to take care of other students. ”
"3. Don't wander around after eating, and rest early. Tomorrow there are 500 miles to go, and we have to leave early in the morning. ”
After explaining the precautions, Yang Guang asked the students to claim their beds under the arrangement of the instructor, and then organized the boys to move the cooking utensils from the carriage.
At this critical moment, He Xiaoping stepped forward and instructed the boys to set up the stove and set up two cauldrons. I went to the firewood room to get firewood and make a fire, and it took two hours to cook the rice in one pot and cook in one pot.
Hungry students gathered around two large pots, one holding a bowl and taking turns to pick up vegetables, and the boiled vegetables and slices of meat were dipped in the prepared sauce and eaten deliciously. attracted Yang Guang, who was originally going to use dry food for dinner, also pulled his old face to rub the food cooked by the students.
"Your daughter-in-law is not bad. Chen Caican, who was full of oil, touched Zhang Jiabao with his elbow. He Xiaoping smiled when he heard this, and generously gave Zhang Jiabao vegetables. Yang Guang hadn't eaten seriously for a day, and he was immersed in the blessings of his mouth at this time, pretending not to see the students' delight.
Shangguan Naiya sat alone, her lips were torn with a large piece of skin, and the hot food was so hot that she couldn't eat it. Seeing the sweet appearance of Zhang Jiabao and He Xiaoping, she suddenly felt that life had no meaning and fun. His head was buried in his knees, his body twitching, and the salty tears made the wound on his lips burn hot.
"Xiaobao, you don't know what I have endured for you. ”
At this time, someone patted her on the shoulder, she didn't dare to look up, stopped crying and said in a muffled voice: "What are you doing?"
"Are you crying?" Zhang Jiabao squatted down and looked up to see if she was crying.
Shangguan Naiya couldn't control it anymore, and hugged Zhang Jiabao and cried miserably. In order to avoid the eyes of the people around him, Zhang Jiabao took her back to the room first.
After crying, Shangguan Naiya said, "Xiaobao, there is one thing I have been hiding from you for six years. ”
"Oh, you really hid your thoughts. So why don't you keep saying it?"
"It wasn't the Taoist of Longhuguan who took me away from me back then, but your cousin Zhang Jiacheng found someone to act, so that my mother was grateful to him, maybe he would have obeyed him. ”
"This is too shameless!" Zhang Jiabao said in disbelief. Although he has always disliked Zhang Jiacheng, because Zhang Jiacheng's eyes are very uncomfortable when he looks at Cao Xiaoxiao, he doesn't believe that he will do such a thing.
"He's just a petty traitor, and his father is the real devil. Your uncle has been plotting to kill you for years. I accidentally learned that Zhang Jiacheng was the mastermind of the case, but I was threatened by him. I was young and didn't know what to do. Then he was tricked by your uncle and fell into a Gu poison called Heartless Gu. ”
"He can always know what is going on in my heart, and he can manipulate the Gu poison to kill me at any time. He also said that as long as I kill you, give me the antidote. ”
Zhang Jiabao was dumbfounded, "This ...... It can't be. ”
"It's true. Shangguan Naiya put his hand on his chest, stared at his eyes and said undoubtedly: "The Gu poison is planted in my heart and brain, it is black, I don't know how many days and nights it has tormented me. Even my master can't get rid of it. ”
Zhang Jiabao actually believed Shangguan Naiya's words, but he didn't want to admit that Zhang Chuanliang was such a vicious person. He took a long breath and said, "Then why did my uncle put me to death? Blood is thicker than water, isn't it?"
"His hatred actually comes from your grandfather, and it has nothing to do with you. In that war 26 years ago, Zhang Chuanliang became a deserter. Your grandfather thought he was insulting to the court, and father and son turned against each other and fought to the death. The position of patriarch that originally belonged to Zhang Chuanliang was also passed on to your father. So Zhang Chuanliang wants to kill the person your grandfather cares about the most, so that he will never be at peace under Jiuquan. ”
Zhang Jiabao knocked his head with his fist and said, "I thought my family was very beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be a ball of mud." hugged Shangguan Naiya, "For so many years, you must have had a bad time." Don't worry, I'll find the antidote. ”
"It's useless," Shangguan Naiya's expression was sad, "This time when I go back, Zhang Chuanliang will let Gu poison kill me when he sees that you are still alive." Maybe I'll do something crazy. Unless...... Unless we fly away. ”
Zhang Jiabao was taken aback, pushed away Shangguan Naiya and looked at her for a while before saying, "Sister, you let my brother think again, think again." There must be a way. ”
"I know you can't bear to be a mother. It doesn't matter, I'll go to find the antidote alone when the time comes, and you must be careful when you go back yourself. Shangguan Naiya smiled and put her face on his forehead, "Now I feel much more comfortable." Even if I can't find an antidote, I can spend a few days happily with you, and I will die without regrets. ”
......
There is no place to take a bath here, and now the weather is hot, and they have sweated during the day, so the male classmates jumped naked into the Wanjiang River to wash themselves, and the female classmates had to boil some warm water to wipe their bodies. The dormitories are also very simple, and almost none of these aristocratic students, who are accustomed to a luxurious life, do not lose sleep, and even begin to regret why they signed up for this name.
The next morning, before the chickens had crowed, the instructors knocked on the door from room to room. Everyone was sleepy-eyed, hastily ate the white-flour steamed buns purchased from the barracks, and then packed up and started to hurry.
This time, Zhang Jiabao did not take the magic car, but ran to Shangguan Naiya's carriage, and who expected He Xiaoping to follow. Two boys leave in amusement, giving way to the champion and his "lover". So there were three men and three women in the carriage: Shangguan Naiya, Zhang Jiabao, and He Xiaoping sat in a row, and Jin Yufang, Qin Haoxuan, and a male classmate named Shen Qi sat in a row.
Zhang Jiabao told them about the poison, hoping that these classmates with extraordinary family backgrounds and well-informed could help think of a way.
"It turns out that you came into the room with her last night to talk about this, and I thought you were ......," He Xiaoping muttered quietly.
"No wonder Naiya seems to have changed as a person. Jin Yufang said, "I've heard my father say that there is a Wufu Mountain Range in Xichuan Prefecture, where there is a witch clan where Gu magic is prevalent, and maybe you can get an antidote from there." ”
Zhang Jiabao was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, and he just stopped by when he went to Xichuan Prefecture. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to repair a book, write down what happened, and tell his father and mother that he and Shangguan Naiya were going to find the antidote to Gu poison, and they couldn't go home for the time being. As for Zhang Chuanliang's father and son, I believe that his father, as the patriarch, should be able to deal with it. Just in case, this letter is still in the name of Yang Guang, the deputy head of the letter.
"Actually, you can go back to Qingping Prefecture with the brigade, let Naiya live in my house or Xiaoyu's house first, and let the fathers send someone to find the antidote. It's too dangerous for you to go to Xichuan Prefecture alone. Qin Haoxuan said. The others listened and agreed, Zhang Jiabao and Shangguan Naiya were just children in the end, and they didn't know what they would encounter if they went to a place where they were not familiar with life.
Zhang Jiabao glanced at Shangguan Naiya and said, "Ah Xuan is right. But we don't know what the sensing distance of this mother Gu and child Gu is, so we don't dare to take this risk. ”
"Then do you have time to report to Fuzhou?" Shen Qi suddenly interjected.
Zhang Jiabao paused for a moment, but he hadn't thought about this. If you really can't make it to St. Martin's High School, let's study the book and explain it first, hoping to be accommodating. Finding an antidote is the top priority, and there is no room for delay.
Looking at Zhang Jiabao's distressed appearance, everyone was deeply sympathetic. They are all from big families, and they have seen intrigue and deceit to some extent. In the face of interests, family affection is vulnerable, when you are beautiful, Zang Feng smiles; when the time comes, the knife flashes, and the bones are gone.
Shangguan Naiya licked the wound on her lips and leaned on Zhang Jiabao's shoulder, "Brother Bao, I'd better go find the antidote myself." If you go, your parents will be very worried. ”
He Xiaoping frowned, not to be outdone, occupied the other shoulder, and said delicately: "Brother Bao, I also want to go together." I'm going to be willful, too. ”
The people in the car were embarrassed, especially Shen Qi, who was sitting alone next to Qin Haoxuan. Zhang Jiabao was squeezed between two tall women like a lamb, crying and laughing.
