Two years ago -

In July, on the night of thunderstorms, lightning and thunder roared, and the rain was pouring down.

In the middle of the night, the second master of the ancient family, who has always been addicted to alcohol and drunk dreams, suddenly howled outside the door of the mansion, "Open the door, come and open the door!" ”

"Snort" There was a thunderclap, and the lightning as bright as day pierced the dark night sky, reflecting the miserable white face of the second master outside the door.

At this moment, he was still holding a person in his hand, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Open the door!" There was no movement for a long time, and the short and fat Gu Second Master stepped forward angrily and kicked on the vermilion carved door.

Accompanied by a rumbling thunder, the rain fell on the body, and the beating hurt.

The gate of the ancient family, in this thunderstorm, squeaked open, and the eyes of the people wearing the robes could not be opened, the wind and rain were too great to carry the lantern, so they had to vaguely identify the appearance of the second master of the ancient from the lightning that was occasionally laid.

"Second master, this is ......" The subordinate who opened the door was startled and hurriedly got out of the way.

Gu Erye hugged the person, and immediately stepped in, his footsteps rushed around the shadow screen, and stepped into the corridor that could shelter him from the rain.

The subordinates didn't have time to stop them, so they had to watch the old woman come in at the same time.

At this moment, another bolt of lightning slipped through the sky, tearing through the darkness and lighting up the entire night sky.

The subordinate was about to bow his head and close the door, but when he glanced at it, his pupils suddenly shrank like the tip of a needle, just because the rain accumulated under his feet was all scarlet like blood.

Looking along the blood-stained rain, the red spread to the back of the screen, and the sight was blocked before the source was cut off.

The subordinate who guarded the door was excited, his face turned pale instantly, he didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly closed the vermilion gate.

The second master of the Gu family, who returned to the second room of the ancient family, changed into dry clothes, and his hair was still dripping, and a small servant came to report that someone from the big room had come.

He took a deep breath, the shy general's belly swelled, the bean's big eyes flashed, waved his hand at the little guy, thought about it with an unpredictable expression, and then took off his robe and went to the flower hall.

"Second brother, I heard that you brought someone back?" In the flower hall, there was Gu Zhong, the tall and thin uncle of the Gu family, who cut his hands behind his back, staring at the second master Gu sharply like an eagle.

Second Master Gu nodded solemnly, let people brew ginger tea, took a sip of it, drove away the chill on his body, and then said slowly, "Big brother, I brought someone back, and there are still injuries on my body, I need a doctor and good medicinal materials to keep it, and I ask my eldest brother to make it convenient." ”

Hearing this, Uncle Gu Zhong's eyebrows with fine lines wrinkled even deeper, and he waved his sleeves, looking annoyed, "Decades of drunkenness and dreaming of death, it's just a matter of drinking like life, why do you still do such a bastard thing more and more, if you are injured, you will be injured, why do you bring people back?" ”

Second Master Gu knew that Gu Zhong had most misunderstood something, and he didn't bother to explain so much, so he only shook his head and said, "Big brother misunderstood, what I brought back was not someone else, it was my daughter, an illegitimate daughter who had been exiled for fifteen years. ”

Bastard daughter!

The power of these three words was comparable to the thunder outside, and it rang in the ears of Uncle Gu Zhong at first glance, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his face was full of incredible expressions.

The nature of his second brother, he always knows, sixteen years ago, his younger sister died of dystocia, since then, the second brother, who is not very talented, has become more and more greedy, and when he is not awake all day, he doesn't even care about the daughter he just gave birth.

For so many years, if he hadn't been taking care of the big house, I was afraid that the child would not have been able to support him.

Now, he told him that fifteen years ago, a year after the death of his younger siblings, he had an illegitimate daughter.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, countless thoughts have flashed through Uncle Gu Zhong's mind, and then he said more sharply, "Throw it out!" Can't keep it! ”

This is a stain, a shame that will bring shame on the entire Gu family.

It is rare for the second master Gu General to be so sober, he drank a cup of ginger tea, his body felt warm, and then he looked at Gu Zhongdao, "That child has his legs abolished, and he is not good in this life, big brother, I can't ignore her anymore." ”

After he said this, he flicked off the folds of his shirt, got up, and looked at the wind and rain outside, "Big brother, I haven't asked you for anything, for so many years, I have allowed my sister-in-law to suppress the second room, but this is the only one thing ......"

Speaking of this, he paused, turned to look at Uncle Gu Zhong, and let him understand the firmness in his eyes, "She has been living abroad for fifteen years, and she will be a waste person in the future. ”

Then there was a long silence between the two, the uncle Gu Zhong pursed his lips, the tip of his nose like an eagle hook has the decisiveness of a businessman, his eyes stared at the second master Gu General for a moment, as if he had only known him for the first time, and finally spoke after a long time, "That's up to you." ”

The second master Gu General seemed to be waiting for this sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you, big brother, I am grateful for the kindness of big brother on behalf of Ah Fei." ”

Uncle Gu Zhong wanted to turn around and leave, but when he heard this, his steps froze, and he turned his head sideways and asked, "Her name is Ah Fei?" Gu Fei? ”

"Yes." The second master Gu general nodded.

Gu Zhong's beard trembled under his chin, and with a seriousness that did not smile, his robe swayed and turned away.

Until he couldn't see Gu Zhong's figure anymore, the smile on the face of the second master Gu Jiang turned cold in an instant, and the thunderstorm outside the hall was mottled, and when it came into his eyes, it turned into a dark and unknown color, floating and sinking like the wind and rain outside.

At this time, in a remote courtyard in the second room of the ancient family, the thunder and lightning outside were not transparent at all, and the yellow light of the bean-sized oil lamp was shaky and extinguished.

On the old shelf bed, the azure mosquito net, the whitening brocade quilt, and the embroidery of the rich peony can be vaguely seen.

The silver-haired old woman had changed into a coarse blue dress at this moment, she twisted a hot and humid square scarf, approached the edge of the bed, tucked the corners of the quilt, and followed the dense circle of light, only to see a woman about thirteen or fourteen years old lying on the bed, the woman's face was pale and bloodless, her pink lips were blue, cold sweat slipped down her forehead, and she was obviously unstable in sleep.

"Girl, girl......" The old woman wiped her sweat with a square towel and whispered.

The woman was still unconscious, the old woman sighed, threw away the square towel in her hand, and unwrapped the small package she carried with her, revealing bottles and cans of different sizes.

She moved extremely skillfully, twisted a breathable gauze cotton cloth, and then poured out the medicinal powder in the bottle and can, mixed them one by one, and then carefully uncovered the brocade quilt on the woman's body.

Immediately, a smell of blood permeated, and the old woman's face did not change, and she pulled up the woman's trousers, revealing her calves with double scars and blood oozing.

There was no good meat on the calf at all, it was originally a smooth and white calf, and at this moment a large piece of flesh and blood was shaved off, and the cotton cloth that was applied before had been wet by the rain, mixed with pus and blood at the moment, which was miserable.
