Chapter 169: Xixue's Identity
Gu Tongye looked at the woman and hit Mu Xiu's stomach with her elbow, "You know?" ”
Mu Xiu nodded, his expression slightly excited, "This is the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is also Li'er's second aunt." ”
"Mu Xiu hasn't seen me for many years, and you haven't seen any progress in your kung fu." The woman stepped on the wall with one foot and the other in the air, she looked down at the two people in the alley, and said with a chic and leisurely smile.
Mu Xiu was ashamed.
"This place is not suitable for talking, you come with me!" The woman jumped off the wall, and when she landed, her body trembled slightly, and she almost didn't stand firm, "Tsk, this thing is quite powerful." ”
The two of them followed the woman and turned and turned, and finally came to a vermilion gate.
"If I'm not mistaken," the woman said to herself, then knocked three times on the brass ring on the door, "Open the door!" ”
After a while, a small crack opened in the door, and a small head peeked out of it, and through the crack it was clear that the room inside was still lit.
"Who are you looking for?" The boy who opened the door asked timidly.
"Wenv, I'm back." The woman pushed open the door with a big grin and shouted into the room.
Then I saw a man in a coat come out of the back room, his face puffed and sleepy-eyed.
"Wenv, I'm back!" The woman grinned and repeated.
The man known as Wenfu yawned and shook his hand with ease, "Who should I be?" Han'er, prepare a guest room for Miss Mu. ”
"Okay, Childe." Han'er obediently responded.
After Wen Fu finished speaking, she gathered her coat, as if she hadn't seen Gu Tongye and Mu Xiu at all. He turned and walked to his room, and then he saw that the candle in his room was extinguished.
Gu Tongye looked at Mu Xiu, and Mu Xiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the identity of the man.
"Miss Mu, please come here." Han'er looked at the woman curiously, her eyes respectful and strange.
"How is your son-in-law doing?" The woman asked with a smile, and followed Han'er to the guest room with a sway.
Han'er replied respectfully, "Miss Huimu, my son-in-law has been doing well recently. ”
The woman nodded, looked around the scenery unscrupulously, asked Han'er a word or two from time to time, and the whole person was leisurely as if she was running in her own garden.
"Is this woman really the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Gu Tongye distanced herself from the woman, and she spoke to Mu Xiu in a low voice suspiciously.
Mu Xiu nodded affirmatively, "Well, the second lady's name is Mu Liushu, she is the second daughter of the prime minister, the second sister of the queen of Feng, this person has a free and easy personality, likes to make friends, is very righteous, and is deeply loved by the prime minister."
However, the second lady is not very stationed in the capital, but travels abroad all the year round, and I have only met her twice. ”
Gu Tongye nodded clearly, and saw that Han'er, who was leading the way, stopped walking and stopped talking.
"This is the guest room, if you need anything, you can call me in the front yard." After Han'er finished speaking, she glanced at Mu Liushu meaninglessly, and stopped talking.
Mu Liushu patted Han'er's little head funny, "What have you been watching me do?" ”
This question made Han'er a little shy, and he said shyly, "I think Miss Mu is very familiar." ”
"Where's the familiarity?" Mu Liushu asked with interest.
Han'er hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "I saw a portrait in Childe's room, and I think Miss Mu is exactly the same as the woman in the painting." ”
After Han'er finished speaking, she hurriedly added, "Don't tell Childe that I peeked at his portrait, otherwise Childe will not want me." ”
The smile on Mu Liushu's face froze, obviously he didn't expect to get such an answer.
"Rest well, I'll go first." Han'er saw that Mu Liushu's face was not very good, thinking that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly ran away in fright.
Gu Tongye knew in his heart, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Miss Mu?" Don't you go in? ”
Mu Liushu coughed lightly, "Let's go in." ”
The room inside looked like a simple guest room, with a wooden bed, a square table, and a wardrobe.
"Before you speak, show me the iron lump on your waist." Mu Liushu crossed Erlang's legs and poured himself a glass of water.
"Tsk, cold!" Mu Liushu smashed his mouth in disgust, and threw the teacup over, the teacup gurgled a few times, and the tea was scattered all over the ground.
Gu Tongye handed the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Syringe to Mu Liushu, "The silver needles inside are stained with anesthetics, you be careful." ”
Mu Liushu raised his eyebrows, with a look of "I know better than you".
She fiddled with the syringe, looking left and right, up and down, "How many more of this thing do you have over there?" ”
"Not many, ten, but all of them are forged from steel, and their performance and accuracy are not as high as this." Gu Tongye didn't hide it, she had already roughly guessed Mu Liushu's purpose for looking for herself.
Mu Liushu nodded, returned the syringe to Gu Tongye, she glanced at Mu Xiu, who was following Gu Tongye without leaving, "I have something to say to your master, Mu Xiu, you go out and guard." ”
Mu Xiu looked at Gu Tongye, and Gu Tongye nodded at him.
Mu Liushu watched the interaction between the two ambiguously, and nodded to himself.
"You guys have a good relationship." Mu Liushu shook his thighs and hung his son.
Gu Tongye showed off as a matter of course, "He is my husband, of course the relationship is good." ”
"Oh~" Mu Liushu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and asked, "Then you have such a good relationship with that man named Xixue?" ”
Gu Tongye's body stiffened, staring at the other party, his eyes burning and worried, "Do you know where he is?" ”
"You care?"
"Isn't it nonsense, don't you worry about your husband missing! Tell me where he is? Gu Tongye was out of control, her tone was rushed and urgent, God knows how long it had been since she had heard from Xixue.
Mu Liushu smiled, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Your royal family can still produce such an amorous species as you, hehe......"
"Where is he?" Gu Tongye didn't care what emotions she had, since she was here today, she just wanted to know Xixue's whereabouts.
"You really want to know? I'll start by saying that the truth is not very good. ”
"Say!"
Mu Liushu showed a helpless expression.
The light of the candle flame became weaker and weaker, and with a "pop" sound, the lamp exploded into fine sparks, and the paper window reflected the figures of the two people in the house.
Mu Xiu looked at the room behind him, there had been no sound in it for a long time.
"Are you still looking for him now?"
After a long time, Mu Liushu asked Gu Tongye.
Gu Tongye sighed, a situation that he never expected appeared, but so what, no matter what Xixue's identity is, he is her Gu Tongye's husband after all, and he is the man who shares the hardships with her.
"Look, as long as he is still my man for a day, I will look for him for a day." Gu Tongye said affirmatively without hesitation.
What if he is employed by someone, what if he has other plans, as long as he is still Xixue, he is still the man who accompanied her all the way, no matter what kind of young master he is or the prince and grandson of which country, he is her Gu Tongye's man.
Mu Liushu was a little surprised, she thought that as long as she told Gu Tong Ye Xixue's true identity, as long as she was still a woman with backbone, she would definitely not be able to stand the man's deception.
"Why don't you hate him? You know, everything he did was probably just deceiving you. Mu Liushu asked unrelentingly.
Gu Tongye said with a smile, "Why do I hate him, first, I never asked him about his identity, so he didn't deceive me; Second, even if he was the young master of the Wind and Snow Building, he never hurt me; Third, we have worshiped heaven and earth and performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong, and he is my husband. ”
"I'm relieved to know he's okay, nothing else matters." Gu Tongye breathed a sigh of relief, indeed, as long as Xixue can be safe and sound, no matter what.
Yu Siniang frowned, pushed the door open, and the person in the room was also startled when he heard the voice, and hurriedly turned around and happened to meet Yu Siniang's eyes.
I saw that the man was wearing a tattered costume, his face was shriveled as if he had been sucked by something, his cloudy eyes were deep in his sockets, his thin body trembled slightly, as if he could be broken with a handful, and the rickety hunchback exposed the person's identity.
Recognizing who it was, Yu Siniang retracted her gaze in disgust, and opened her thin lips, "Get out!" ”
I didn't find a grain of rice, but I was caught by someone, and Yu Huozi hurriedly laughed flatteringly, "Siniang is back, hehe, I'll go, I'll go." ”
After saying that, Yu Huozi hurriedly walked to the door tremblingly, because of long-term hunger, his whole person was in a trance, when he passed next to Yu Siniang, he suddenly stopped, his nose inhaled hard, his eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his head and asked excitedly, "Siniang, how can I smell the smell of meat?" ”
Yu Siniang tugged at the corners of her mouth and said slowly, "When people are about to die, they will see what they want most." ”
Yu Huozi let out an "ah", his expression was frightened, but he quickly recovered and muttered, "It turns out that it is my turn......"
Maybe Yu Huozi's expression was too desperate, or maybe his words made Yu Siniang think of something, and when she came to her senses, the basket in her hand had been snatched by the other party.
Yu Huozi had long been weak and couldn't move his feet, let alone run, and just ran into the yard, suddenly a penny swept across the crook of his leg, and a dull pain hit.
"Ouch~" Yu Huozi fell and ate, and the basket in his hand also rolled to the ground, and a lump of bright red meat rolled out.
"Yu Xiaosi, you stupid woman, you can't even deal with a half-dead man, why do you think I'm so unlucky to crawl out of your belly!"
A child suddenly jumped out of the corner of the wall, holding a penny toe in his hand and scolding angrily.
Yu Siniang helplessly held her forehead, stepped forward and grabbed the child's ear with an instant, and sneered, "You stinky boy is amazing, and I didn't see you find out if the family was robbed!" Dare to count the old lady, owe a beating! ”
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts-" The child hurriedly threw away the penny, hugged Yu Siniang's arm and shouted pain for a while, and then began to shout again, "Yu Xiaosi, let me tell you, you are calling child abuse, I will go to the yamen to sue you, and let you stay in prison for the rest of your life!" ”
Yu Siniang laughed angrily, let go of the child's ears, and slapped the other party's pouting buttocks, which caused another wail, Siniang sneered, "Return to the yamen, you Yu Xiu can get out of Yujia Village, thank God." ”
Yu Xiu turned sideways, escaped the shackles of Yu Siniang, and was busy holding his ass and rubbing it, and did not forget to turn around and choke out, "Hmph, my Master Yu will one day walk out of Yujia Village and become a hero of martial arts, you wait and see!" ”
"Okay, stop dreaming, clean up the garbage and eat." Yu Siniang waved her hand indifferently, bent down to pick up the basket on the ground and walked towards the house.
"Meat, that's mine, give it to me, give it to me ......"
Yu Huozi stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Siniang with difficulty, and his already cloudy eyes now turned gray-white.
Yu Xiu was obviously not in a good mood today, and immediately kicked it unceremoniously, and Yu Huozi suddenly lost his voice.
"I'm so annoyed, let me clean it up every time, it's only four years old, and it's still a child!" Yu Xiu puffed out his cheeks dissatisfiedly, and his wet eyes were full of grievances.
"Wrong, it's four and a half years old, and in two months you'll be five years old, and your father will be able to manage a mountain villa when he's five years old!" Yu Siniang's ears were so keen, she immediately retorted in the house.
Yu Xiu pursed his mouth, and only said in his heart, there is still a villa, my mother just likes to deceive people, if his father has a villa, how can his mother and daughter die in this place where birds don't.
"Alas, women, they just like to deceive themselves." Yu Xiu sighed helplessly, shook his head and bent down to untie Yu Huozi's trouser belt, and then used his trouser belt to grab one of Yu Huozi's feet and drag him out of the courtyard.
Hearing this, Yu Siniang paused to chop vegetables, turned her head, and saw a thin figure from the window dragging the corpse of a big man out, shaking her head and muttering something as she walked.
The gray clothes were full of holes, a small face was thin and yellow, and the messy hair was dry and turned into an oil cake, coupled with the endless desolate scene behind him, Yu Siniang felt that this scene was familiar, but she didn't remember where she had seen it.
Coming back to her senses, Yu Siniang thought about it, in two months, this kid will be five years old, time flies like a white horse, it turns out that they have been living in this corner that no one knows for four years......
"Ah, who am I, it turned out to be you, this kid, I saw you here from afar, what are you digging for?"
Hearing this voice, Yu Xiu had to stop his movements, looked up at the person who came and replied seriously, "Uncle Shunsheng, I'm digging a grave!" ”
Hearing this, Yu Shunsheng's body stiffened, his heart was indescribably weird, and he laughed dryly, "What do you say, what are you talking about, don't talk nonsense in children's families, it's very unlucky." ”
Yu Xiu sighed, with a serious face, pointed to the pile of dry grass not far away and said, "Well, I'm digging a grave for Uncle Huozi, he just died, and his body is still alive." ”
Yu Shunsheng looked in the direction of Yu Xiu's finger, and suddenly his back was cold, and he saw that there was really a corpse lying in the haystack, and from the bulge on the back of the corpse, it could be seen that the person was the well-known second bastard Yu Huozi in the village.
"Y-Why did he die?" Yu Shunsheng swallowed his saliva and asked.
Yu Xiu spread out his palms helplessly, shook his head and sighed, "Hungry to death, the sky is pitiful." As he spoke, he continued his previous digging motion.
Yu Xiaosi's woman said that the weather is too hot, and the corpse must be buried as soon as possible, otherwise it will rot and stink, and it will cause a plague. Thinking of the carrion corpse crawling with white maggots he saw at the entrance of the village last time, Yu Xiu shivered, it was so disgusting that the movements of his subordinates became more and more numb.
Yu Shunsheng looked at Yu Xiu's completely fearless appearance and suddenly felt a little stunned for some reason, this child and that woman are so special, since the two of them came to the village four years ago, they neither deal with people nor go out much, neither see how rich they are nor how poor they are, they came to Yujia Village silently, and then silently took root here, no one knows where they come from, and no one knows if they will leave, except that one of them is called Yu Siniang, One is called Yu Xiu, and the people in the village don't know anything about these two people.
