Chapter 66: Falling into the Water or Jumping into the Lake?
readx; "I didn't insult her, where did I get the spiritual compensation?"
Mu Ba responded to Li Xiaobei's jumping feet as a matter of course: "You have been married for a long time, so naturally it is not indecent." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info If you don't marry, it will naturally be rude. β
Li Xiaobei roared angrily: "You are quite unreasonable! β
"Unreasonable? It's obvious. Mu Ba chuckled, looking like he was stunned by Li Xiaobei.
"Fifty thousand taels, you can sell yourself." A low laugh came out, and after entering the house, Zhong Yueyun could finally leave the gourd and come out to breathe.
Li Xiaobei didn't have time to take care of her teasing, his brain was running rapidly, how much is 50,000 taels? A steamed bun costs a penny, how much is one or two? How much is 50,000 taels?
"Let me think about it for a few days." Li Xiaobei replied after pondering.
Who knew that Mu Ba decisively rejected him: "No, I will get married in ten days." β
"Ten days?" Li Xiaobei stood up and almost knocked over the teacup on the table, but fortunately he was quick and caught the porcelain cup jumping around the edge of the table, he looked up and said incredulously, "Uncle, this is too urgent, this is a marriage event." "Fifty thousand taels in ten days, no matter how he has no concept, he knows that this is impossible!
"It's only ten days, and it's not negotiable. Little Boy. Mu Ba said undoubtedly, as the saying goes, people don't kill for themselves, boy, these 50,000 taels is an impossible task, and there is only one way I have prepared for you. The day after tomorrow is the day when Wang Qijiang's kid marries Gu Ling, and my family will naturally marry her husband on this day for a long time, and I will dress Jiujiu as the most beautiful bride, so that Old Man Wang will regret his death. Mu Ba thought secretly, and added: "By the way, it's not to marry, it's to marry, you marry into our Mu family." β
"Whatβ" The cup fell to the floor with a thud, and the door suddenly opened.
"Sir, sir!"
A servant hurriedly pushed the door in, Mu Ba glanced at it, and his face suddenly became solemn: "What is so panicked?" β
"Miss Gu jumped into the lake!"
"What!"
"What! How are people? Li Xiaobei and Mu Ba exclaimed at the same time.
Mu Ba and Li Xiaobei glanced at each other and frowned displeased.
"People have been saved." The servant said hurriedly before he had time to catch his breath.
Mu Ba breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still in his throat. Although he competes with the ancient head every day for a long-term marriage, after all, the ancient girl was grown up by him, and now that she has an accident, he is really anxious, not to mention that the ancient family has guarded Biyue Lake for generations, and now this ancient girl jumps into the lake, could it be that something happened in the lake......
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
As soon as Mu Ba's body moved, Li Xiaobei followed closely. Did Miss Gu fall overboard? Was it pulled into the water by that water ghost? No, that water ghost didn't have any ill intentions...... After all, it is a water ghost, and where there are water ghosts, there is a matter of catching alternately. This is also something that the Heavenly Dao cannot interfere with, in order to be free and liberated, what can't those souls do...... It was he who was negligent. Li Xiaobei secretly blamed himself and desperately wanted to see the situation.
Mu Ba stopped suddenly, Li Xiaobei almost hit his back, and he reached out to stop Li Xiaobei. Li Xiaobei was interrupted from his thoughts, and looked up at Mu Ba suspiciously.
"Why are you in such a hurry, what's your business, you can stay here for me, and don't go anywhere." It is one thing for him to care about Gu Ling, and it is another thing for this out-of-town man to care about Gu Ling. Now this Li Xiaobei is the only savior for a long time, and he will never allow Li Xiaobei to be twilight with other women!
"Uncle! Eh...... Don't close the door! β
Mu Ba flicked his sleeves and left, and immediately a servant stepped forward and locked the door.
Li Xiaobei's vision was blocked by the door, he sat on the chair stupidly, and Zhong Yueyun floated to his side: "The windows are locked, it seems that I have been prepared early in the morning." β
"Can these little locks lock me? If it weren't for ......," Li Xiaobei snorted coldly.
"If you hadn't been misbehaved and stolen other people's money, how could you have been deducted from your merits, and you wouldn't even have any skills now." Zhong Yueyun took Li Xiaobei's words.
"It's not the first time I've seen stealing money...... No, the money was not deducted. And last time, that house was also a house of virtue, and I just used their silver taels to help me, a poor man. Li Xiaobei replied disdainfully.
"You're just hard-mouthed, what now?"
"This place is a bit weird, it's out of the world, I saw a water ghost on a lake before. Then this Miss Gu fell into the water. β
"Did the water ghost do it?"
"Common sense to infer that it is. But I don't feel like so. Li Xiaobei looked up at the dim twilight through the bright tile, and said lightly, "The person has been rescued, so there is no hurry." Wait, wait until evening, you go and see how it goes. β
β¦β¦
In the Peony Garden, accompanied by Mu Jiujiu's words full of happiness, Wang Qijiang's smile cracked for a moment, and even the laughter was a little dry: "Mu Jiujiu, don't be hungry." "Ten days later, ten days later will be the big day for him and Gu Ling, is he really engaged to that man for a long time, and the marriage is scheduled on the same day as his marriage...... Is he to blame for a long time? "You are not familiar with him at all, you don't know what kind of person he is, how can you be so hasty, hehe, you must be joking for a long time, even if you decide like this, Uncle Mu can't be so hasty to engage you with a family affair."
"My dad? You're wrong, my dad dreamed of marrying me off, and he didn't know how happy he was to have such a person. And he is handsome and dashing, how can it be said that the engagement with him is hasty? As for you saying familiar, we have known each other for all these years, and I haven't figured out what kind of person you are, so why do you need to understand in advance, besides, after we get married, we have a lifetime to get acquainted, isn't it enough? Mu Jiujiu looked at Wang Qijiang who was a little anxious with a smile, her gaze fell on his cheek, which was a little pale, and the kind of white stinged her eyes, she didn't look over. The words were said happily, but her heart hurt a little, what did her heart ache?
"For a long time...... Actually, I-"
"Young master, young master! The master told you to hurry back! β
"What's the matter?" Wang Qijiang's mind was on Mu Jiujiu, and being suddenly interrupted made him a little unhappy.
The servant who came over in a hurry was very anxious and sad: "Miss Gu jumped into the lake." I'm still unconscious, so go check it out! β
"What!" Wang Qijiang turned around eagerly, took a step and stopped, he looked back at Mu Jiujiu, and finally left quickly.
Mu Jiujiu tried not to look at him for a long time, but the hand hidden in the long sleeve couldn't stop trembling. Did you choose her after all?
"Let's go!"
"Miss, where are we going?"
"Gu Ling has fallen into the water, let's go take a look."
