The courtyard where Gu Tingcheng and Wang's mother live is very simple, and there is a small living room in the middle, and inside is the room where she and Wang's mother rest. On the left is www.biquge.info their kitchen, and on the right is a small fenced grass hut with a few small chickens and a few golden corn cobs hanging on the side.

Gu Tingcheng and Wang's mother pushed open the small bamboo door in front of the courtyard and put the vegetable basket in their hands on the small wooden table in the courtyard. "Mother Wang, you go and sort out the embroidery to be sold tomorrow first, and I'll do today's dinner."

As Gu Qingcheng spoke, he had already sat on the wooden chair and began to choose vegetables. In the past few years, she has become accustomed to life here, and usually helps Wang's mother share a little.

"Then the slave maid will go first to tidy it up, some embroideries have not been embroidered yesterday, and the slave and maid have to hurry." Since Gu Qingcheng woke up, he has changed his personality and has not stayed in the house anymore. Although Wang's mother felt a little sorry for her doing these rough jobs, she couldn't help her pleas and could only agree.

Fortunately, Miss didn't care about doing this, and her mood became more and more happy, cooking was Gu Tingcheng's favorite thing to do.

Because of the difficult conditions here, Gu Tingcheng made one dish and one soup, all of which were vegetarian dishes. Mother Wang looked at her thin body and sighed helplessly. The young lady was originally the third young lady of the Gu Mansion, but she had to stay with her in a small mountain village far away. Although he was thirteen years old, his thin body was still like that of a ten-year-old child.

"Mother Wang, you don't have to worry, in fact, I think this kind of life is also very good, free and unrestrained. Although the days are a little harder, we will not be so bitter for a lifetime. ”

Gu Tingcheng saw Mother Wang sighing, and also stopped the chopsticks in his hand and opened his mouth to persuade.

"That being said, Miss Ke is almost married, and she will always marry in the future. I don't know when the Gu Mansion will send someone to pick up the young lady back to Beijing. "In a few days, it will be Gu Qingcheng's birthday, and Miss can't marry a man from the countryside. Wang's mother looked forward to the Gu Mansion coming to pick them up and return to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Mother Wang, the Gu Mansion has long forgotten about our existence, so don't look forward to it anymore. And I don't want to go back to that home, and now I only recognize Mother Wang's relatives. ”

Gu Tingcheng didn't want Gu Fu to pick her up and return to Beijing, Gu Fu exiled her and Wang's mother here to fend for herself, and she had nothing to do with Gu Fu for a long time. Instead of going back to the capital to see other people's faces and survive, it is better to stay in this small city and live freely.

When Mother Wang saw Gu Qingcheng's resistance, she didn't say anything to arouse her sadness, but she still couldn't let go of it in her heart.

The night in the border city is very open, the moon here is brighter, and the stars are playfully playing hide and seek. Gu Tingcheng sat on the edge of the courtyard and learned to embroider with Wang's mother, and accidentally pricked her little hand, which always attracted Wang's mother to come over and help her put it in her mouth to suck it to stop the bleeding.

Early in the morning, Gu Qingcheng and Wang's mother set off for the small hill behind the village. The small animals on the mountain always come down the mountain to spoil the vegetables they have worked so hard to grow, and Gu Tingcheng and Wang's mother decided to use bamboo and wood to fence the vegetable garden.

There was a small stream at the bottom of the hillside, Gu Qingcheng was very thirsty after cutting for a while, and after talking to Wang's mother, he walked to the stream below the mountain.

The stream water is the spring water flowing down from the mountain, which is very sweet and cool, Gu Tingcheng took a few sips of water and immediately felt comfortable.

I wanted to wash my face and go back, but I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a person lying not far away, and I took a big jump. The man didn't move, Gu Qingcheng didn't know if he was alive or dead, and turned around to leave.

After walking a few steps, he felt that he couldn't let go, so he turned back and stepped forward to check on the man.

The man had a large patch of blood under his body, and he had been hit by an arrow in his chest, and the arrow had not yet been pulled out. Gu Qingcheng poked under his nose, this person was still angry, he was still alive.

Gu Tingcheng stood up and ran back to the mountain anxiously, and the person lying on the ground woke up and opened his eyes, only to see Gu Tingcheng's back and faint again. By the time he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

After Gu Qingcheng ran back to the mountain to find Wang's mother, he returned to the bottom of the mountain again. The two of them helped him back to the small courtyard where they lived.

Because the man was seriously injured, although Wang's mother agreed to save him, she didn't know how to deal with his injuries. Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng did not panic, and after taking the burned bayonet and cutting out his arrow, he applied the herbs he had picked.

Because he was worried that this person would have a fever and infection, Gu Tingcheng and Wang's mother took turns guarding his bedside, and in the second half of the night, Gu Tingcheng was so sleepy that he leaned on the side of the bed and fell asleep.

When Ji Duanli woke up, he saw a woman sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed, which was a small grass hut of a farmer's family. The injuries on his body have been well handled, and when he remembers the back he saw before he fell unconscious, it should have been this girl who saved him.

Ji Duanli's action of wanting to get up alerted Gu Qingcheng, "Hey, your injury is not healed, you can't get up, lie back quickly." ”

Ji Duali originally wanted to cover Gu Tingcheng's mattress, but he didn't expect to wake her up.

"Thank you girl for the rescue, where is this place?"

Gu Qingcheng checked his injuries, but fortunately, the wounds did not crack. Then he looked at him and replied:

"This is Fenglai Valley, you fainted by the stream, and I brought you back here. You're lucky that there's no poison on the arrow, otherwise you wouldn't have been so lucky to wait for someone to save you. ”

I don't know who he is, how he could faint by the stream with his injuries.

Fenglai Valley, this is not the boundary of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, the situation was critical, and the pursuers were in hot pursuit, Ji Jieli only cared about fleeing, but he didn't expect to step into the place of Da Chu.

"You just woke up, your body is still very weak, you wait first, I'll bring you a bowl of rice porridge."

The patient just woke up and should eat some liquid food, Wang's mother had already prepared it, and after Gu Qingcheng went out, he came in with a bowl of rice porridge, and was ready to feed him while he was angry.

"Girl, I'll do it myself."

Ji Jieli got up and wanted to eat by himself, but Gu Qingcheng hurriedly stopped him. "Hey, I said don't move, your injury shouldn't be too big now, do you want to waste my and Wang's mother's hard work?"

Ji Duali had never faced such a Gu Tingcheng, so he had to lie down obediently and let Gu Tingcheng feed it into his mouth one bite at a time.

The rice porridge has a fragrant flavor and feels very comfortable after eating it. Ji Duali asked her, "Is there anything in the porridge, it has a fragrant taste." ”

"Put the lily, if you like it, there will be it in the pot, eat more to get better."

This is a lily that Gu Tingcheng picked and then dried, and put a little into the porridge, which tastes very fragrant. And lily porridge is best for people who are weak after illness.

"That's not necessary, I'm very satisfied after eating this bowl next. I didn't know that Lily could still do this, but I was lonely and unheard. ”

Looking at the accommodation here, this girl's situation is not very good, a bowl of lily porridge is enough.

Seeing him like this, Gu Tingcheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It's just some ordinary food in the village, and it's not a big deal. Although our life here is not very good, this bowl of lily porridge is still available, you wait for a while, and I will go and bring you a bowl. ”

Without waiting for him to speak, Gu Qingcheng walked out again, and came back after a while, along with Mother Wang.

"Miss, let's feed it as a slave." Gu Tingcheng is a noble lady in Wang's mother's heart, and it is better to let her do this kind of work of serving people.

Gu Tingcheng didn't think about it so much, Mother Wang said to let her come, and Gu Tingcheng handed her the lily porridge in his hand.

Ji Duanli was eating fragrant lily porridge, thinking about the conversation between Gu Tingcheng and Wang's mother. Miss Slave should be called a big family, why do you hear it in a farmer's house? Could it be that these two benefactors have other identities?

After eating the lily porridge, Ji Duan left his mouth and thanked them. "In Xia Ji Break Off, I don't know the names of the two benefactors, and he will come to repay the benefactor for saving his life."

Mother Wang put the bowl aside and replied kindly: "It's okay to call me Mother Wang, it's my young lady who found you fainting by the stream and saved you." If you want to thank my young lady, thank me. ”

"I care about the city, Xie doesn't need it. In other words, others would not be able to see death without help. Where are you from, you don't look like you're here. ”

Looking at Ji Jieli's clothes, you can know that he is not a person from Da Chu, and he still has arrow wounds on his body. Gu Tingcheng asked tentatively.

"I am a person from the Jin Kingdom, because I ran into an enemy when I went out, so I was so embarrassed. If it weren't for Miss Gu, I was afraid that it would be more than lucky. ”

The surname Gu will be the Gu family he knows? Ji Duan left his hand to touch the wound on his chest, and estimated the time it would take for the injury to heal. He couldn't stay here for too long, and he had to rush back to the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible.

Gu Qingcheng saw his contemplative movements, and opened his mouth to comfort her, "Don't worry, I have already used healing herbs for this injury." At the latest, the day after tomorrow, you will be able to walk on the ground. If there's anything you need to do, I can do it for you. ”

"Then there is Miss Lao Gu, please hang this silk cloth on the tree for me. My family should be nearby, and they know I'm here when they see the silk. ”

Ji Jieli had no choice but to let Gu Tingcheng do it for him, hoping that his subordinates could find this place soon.

"Okay, then you can recuperate here with peace of mind, and I'll hang this silk cloth for you."

After Gu Qingcheng took his silk cloth, he and Wang's mother walked out. There was a big tree next to their small courtyard, and Gu Qingcheng took a chair and folded it and hung the silk cloth on the branches.

Mother Wang came over and helped her jump down: "Miss, this Ji Gongzi is probably not an ordinary person, will we cause big trouble if we take him in?" ”

Wang's mother's concerns can be understood, but now they have no other way, they can't help it, so their conscience can't get over. "It doesn't matter, Mother Wang, let's just pay attention to it these days. He won't be here for long. Did you take all those embroideries to Uncle Li? ”

Seeing Gu Tingcheng talking about those embroideries, Mother Wang's expression became happy, she turned her head to Gu Tingcheng and said, "Miss, don't worry, the slave maid took it early in the morning." Brother Li has helped us many times, and he knows how to say those things.

Yesterday's embroidery sold for a good price, and this time is enough for us to live for a few days. ”

"That's good, Mother Wang, you go get busy first. Here's what I can look at. ”

Uncle Li helped them a lot, and the small courtyard on the edge of the village was built with Uncle Li's help, and Gu Qingcheng was very relieved of him.

Ji Jieli listened to the conversation between Gu Qingcheng and Wang's mother in the house, and knew that they were not living very well. After Gu Qingcheng came in, he took out the jade pendant on his body:

"This is the jade pendant that my mother left me, I know that you are not in a very good situation, so I should take it as a reward for you to take me in."

Gu Tingcheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the jade pendant she handed over, stretched out his hand and pushed it back and said, "Since it was left to you by your mother, don't give it away easily, I think this is also your most precious thing."

You can live in peace, we don't lack this silver tael. For me and Wang's mother, living a life in peace and stability is the happiest thing. ”

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng refused, Ji Jieli had no choice but to put it back in his arms, thinking that he would wait for his subordinates to come over and give them the actual silver taels.

"Miss Gu shouldn't be an ordinary person, how could she be willing to stay here."

"Ji Gongzi is not an ordinary person, isn't he lying here the same. Not everyone in this world can choose their origins, and for me, it's more comfortable here than anywhere else.

Ji Gongzi's injury is not light, so let's rest assured. Just call me if there's anything, don't feel inconvenient. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for the trouble Miss Gu."

After Gu Qingcheng went out, Ji Jieli took out the jade pendant again, and stroked it lightly with his hand. If he could, he also hoped to be like Gu Tingcheng and live peacefully in this small village.

But this is just an extravagant hope, he has no revenge, and he must return alive.
