Chapter 186: Willing to be hostage
The fact that the unknown Gu on Xiao Hong's body did not go away but added to the new pain, did not hide it from his eldest brother Xiao Ze, and he couldn't hide it.
Because in the middle of that night, the first Gu poison phase attack frantically attacked about the time that Man Yun expected.
Laughing alone is cold, laughing alone sleeps, forcing people to indulge in seeking joy and warmth, otherwise the cold from the ends of the limbs will crawl up the whole body along the fingertips little by little, cold to the bone. However, the Gu in Xiao Hong's previous position was a dry and obscene Gu, and the pain of the confrontation between the two was very bearable.
In the past, when he was dispensing poison, Man Yun tried to laugh and sleep alone, although it was only for a moment, but he was quite impressed, with a deep sense of palpitation.
Therefore, as soon as Man Yun saw Xiao Hong closing his eyes and falling on the bed in cold sweat, the remorse in his heart swept in. On the other hand, Xiao Hong, who had been enduring the pain, gritted his teeth and emphasized again that he didn't need her.
No, you don't! I don't need Zhou Manyun, and I don't need any other woman! After waking up and telling the truth to each other, the young man who was hurt to the bottom was determined to maintain his dignity.
Man Yun sat silently by the bed.
Only Xiao Ze was pacing around the room with a hideous face, and his eyes swept to his younger brother squeezing Zhou Manyun's hand, and he was even more angry.
It's useless to say anything more. The current situation looks like Xiao Hong wants to crush Man Yun's bones to make her empathize, but in fact, it is just his pure little brother who was pinched to death by the vicious woman in front of him, that is, he was caught by Gu.
Suddenly thinking of this, Xiao Ze suddenly stood in front of Zhou Manyun and asked sharply, "Zhou Manyun!" You tell you the truth, Xiao Ze is like this now because the two poisons are against each other, or because you have given him Gu. Nanzhao's 'living and dying together'? ”
"Living and dying together?" , Zhou Manyun replied softly in his mouth and shook his head.
As the head of the five love Gu of Nanzhao. Living and dying together in the territory of the Chen Dynasty has also been widely known. Men and women who are in love with each other, women will plant Zi Gu for men, no matter how far he goes, he can only be loyal to her alone, lovesick, and will be in pain when lust moves, but if it is to relieve the pain and intercourse with other women. The man who betrayed will turn the long pain into the short pain, and simply die neatly.
It's just that when a man dies, the woman with the Gu mother will also die at the same time on the other side of the world.
Grabbing Man Yun's big hand tightly, although his body was in pain but Xiao Hong, who was conscious, thought of the request he had made to Man Yun to let her plant Gu, turned his head sideways and put his cold sweaty forehead on the back of Man Yun's hand, looked at Man Yun's eyes with pain, and said, "If we live and die together, it would be good!" ”
He wanted to be entangled with her for the rest of his life, living and dying together. But she was even more ruthless.
"No, it's not." , Man Yun took out a handkerchief with his other hand to wipe Xiao Hong's sweat, and explained to Xiao Ze as well: "I won't use that kind of Gu." ”
"Because Zhou Manyun spares his life! Whether there is a man or not, she will live well, so she will not die with me! Pulling out a hoarse complaint from his throat, Xiao Hong felt that the pain in his body had been alleviated a lot.
Xiao Ze's eyes widened angrily, staring at Zhou Manyun in front of him who was acquiescing like a clay sculpture. stared at the younger brother who was full of hatred in his mouth, but still like a vine wrapped around a tree, and rested on Man Yun's lap by scolding.
"Incorrigible!" , Xiao Shizi turned around angrily. Roll the curtain out.
He made up his mind, even if Xiao Hong hurt and hurt, their brother would not stay in Qingyuan any longer. Go, go now! When he arrived in the north, he went to find the Qi Divine Doctor, and he helped relieve the Gu poison on Xiao Hong's body. Find a woman again, find a well-behaved virtuous lady, and serve Xiaoliu. Zhou Manyun is not the only one in the world who can use medicine, and she is not the only one who can be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family!
"Zhou Manyun! I hate you so much now...... I hate ...... to death", leaving the two of them alone in the room. Only Xiao Hong's cursing sounded intermittently.
"I know! When you persist until the end, the toxicity should be stable. Zhou Manyun lowered his head in response, and his slender fingers combed the man's sweaty hair over and over again.
"When the poison is attacked, every day from Xu to Hai, it is best to have someone around to guard it. According to what your eldest brother said just now, the river will be crossed about the day after tomorrow. When you get to the north, you should be careful yourself, and if the pain is so bad, it's okay to scold it like this, but it's not good to endure it......"
The scolding became more and more ruthless, mixed with the woman's whispers, little by little to endure the long night.
Is it right or wrong? Or perhaps, it's because you still can't take care of yourself as a sacrifice for Aiqing? Zhou Manyun, who was confused all night, was no better than Xiao Hong, the man on her lap was in pain, and she also sat motionless all night.
As the hour passed, the sun slowly rose.
Seeing that Xiao Hong, who was in a little less pain, dozed off groggyly, Zhou Manyun whispered in his ear where to go, and then tiptoed out of the room.
Pull your hair, change your clothes, and reapply your makeup.
The little fish girl who covered her tired face with lead powder rouge stood behind the prince of Jingguo.
In any case, Yuhualin is still the territory of the Guo family, even if he occupies the nest and detains the young animals, he has to prevent the old guy from suddenly showing his fangs and hurting people.
A woman like Zhou Manyun shouldn't marry at all, just like the national teacher enshrined in the Nanzhao Holy Star Temple, give honor and wealth, and let her do things by the side! Xiao Ze glanced at Zhou Manyun without a trace, and then continued to bargain with Guo Wei.
Let the poisoned Guo Jingcheng follow the proposal to come back to Yunzhou in the north, Guo Wei was reluctant to accept it, and swore that even if the Xiao family brothers were on their own, he would do his best to help each other and would not make trouble behind his back.
But the last thing in the world to believe in oaths is politicians.
Xiao Ze listened with a smile, and swore in the name of his father and ancestor to protect Guo Jingcheng's thoughtfulness. He will not deal with a talented person who only loves to paint spring/palace, and Xiao Hong will also watch that he will not let his dirty hands tarnish his reputation. It's just that it is the ancestors of the Xiao family who swear it, and the Zhou daughters who have not yet married into the Xiao family and may no longer be able to marry into the Xiao family will not do their brother's business.
"Why don't you let the dog send the son back to Yunzhou first, and the sixth prince has a slight illness, so he might as well spend a few more days in Qingyuan?" , Guo Wei's loyal face smiled innocently, showing sincerity.
"Lord Guo doesn't know, the father is the most painful among the sons, the sixth brother, even I, the eldest son, have to step aside!" , Xiao Ze exaggerated a wry smile, shook his head and said, "If you can't take him back." Daddy would have whipped people. ”
Young men in their twenties put on a timid posture in front of others, selling small things.
Man Yun's head lowered slightly, a little sleepy, and some wanted to simply raise his voice to recommend himself to stay in the Guo Mansion as a hostage. Anyway, as long as the Xiao family brothers cross the river, she has her own way to leave Qingyuan. It's just that she is now being deducted from her head by Xiao Ze as a handmaiden, and she wants to stay, but the weight is not enough.
"Lord Guo, Brother Jimin! Siyuan's trip to Jiangnan is not yet enjoyable, but he wants to stay in Qingyuan for a few more days, I don't know if it is convenient? ”
Suddenly, a word interjected made everyone's eyes in the hall focus on He Ming, who had been involved in chaos for the past two days but had not said a word.
The grandson of the He family in Luzhou, the He family has always been good friends with the Xiao family, and Xiao Ze was introduced to the Guo Mansion by He Ming, a young friend. As a Chinese person who watched all the way when the conflict between Xiao Guo's two families occurred, there is really no more suitable person than him.
Whether the Xiao family is a person or a name, they will put back an intact Guo Jingcheng according to the agreement, and as long as the Guo family doesn't want to offend the Xiao and He families at the same time, they have to treat He Ming as a guest.
The gentleman is as gentle as jade, and he looks really a humble and polite reader. Zhou Manyun couldn't help but glance at He Ming a few times, she had knelt down with He Minglan in her previous life, but she really didn't have the slightest impression of this He family brother.
He Ming's sudden automatic request suddenly made Xiao Ze and Guo Wei find a step of cooperation and mutual understanding.
"Siyuan! Sorry for you! After finalizing the shipping schedule for crossing the river tomorrow with Guo Wei, Xiao Ze gave his young friend a sturdy bear hug.
"Brother Jimin, why be polite to me! However, my two sisters have to bother my brother to help send them back to Luzhou! He Ming smiled heartily, and he didn't have the slightest unhappiness of being squeezed and having to come out as a hostage.
"That's natural, your sister is my Xiao Ze's own sister!" , Xiao Ze patted his chest and hit the guarantee. Compared with He Ming's righteousness in staying in Qingyuan, sending two girls to Luzhou by the way is simply a trivial matter.
Since Xiao Hong's accident in Yuhualin, He Ming, like Guo Jingcheng, has been dragged into living in the same courtyard as the Xiao brothers. The residence of the two sisters of the He family only sent people to say hello, Xiao Zejia transferred a few old guards, and now he wants to leave his brother in Qingyuan, so he naturally feels ashamed of the two girls, and even refers to his personal henchmen to spread the news.
As soon as the guards who informed the He sisters of the departure time came back and finished the report, they sincerely praised He Minglan to Xiao Ze for his good manners.
Sixteen-year-old He Minglan had already comforted his sister on the day his brother did not return, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to pack up and wait for him. And when they heard that their brother was staying in Qingyuan, the sisters wanted to follow the Xiao family, and they didn't ask a word more, their eyebrows were gentle, and they happily arranged for the He family to prepare.
A muffled sigh wrapped around Xiao Ze's chest.
If it weren't for the fact that the younger brother Xiao Hong kept writing letters to refuse to marry him at the north family, and always praised Zhou Manyun to the sky, Xiao Ze originally wanted to push He Minglan to his father as his brother-in-law.
Zhou Manyun saw He Minglan again at the Qingyuan ferry in the early morning of the next day.
Willow bank, the breeze is clear.
Qingyuandu, which has been closed for a long time, slowly opened the gate, because there is only one hour of the river opening time every day, and the haode fleet is lined up early in the direction of the gate.
Unlike Guo Wei, who was reluctant to give up but still only sent his son on the boat and returned home with He Ming, Zhou Manyun sent someone to the ship.
Standing quietly opposite Xiao Hong, even though there were constant reminders in his heart, whether this farewell was really going to be seen for many years or forever, Zhou Manyun's eyes still drifted uncontrollably to a half-open pane behind him.
By the window, half of a girl's face is exposed, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like water, bright and fresh. (To be continued......)
