Chapter 53: Falling Ill

"The Mu family is top-notch and wealthy in Nancang County, and the Song family has in-laws with them, and they are always more reliable than others in business, so don't they have their help?" The apprentice boy standing on the side asked boldly.

"The Mu family has a century-old foundation in Nancang County, the marriage of the Mu and Song families, the Song family can be regarded as a high climb, the old man of the Mu family was not very happy at first, but the third aunt and grandmother played a small and smart person, the most advocated, in the year of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, I met Song Ruihong, I fell in love, the old lady of the Mu family loved her daughter the most, and she grew up in the palm of her hand like eyeballs for more than ten years.

If they are long-lasting, the piano is harmonious, and the business of the two families will naturally be like a fish in water, but within two years of marriage, the person who is like a flower and jade is suddenly gone, which makes the old lady how to stand it, so she blames the Song family every day, the eldest master of the Mu family is a big filial son, how can he make the old lady unhappy, so he almost cut off contact with the Song family, let alone business. The shopkeeper pulled the abacus and shook his head.

"Then what are the cousins and brothers meeting for, look, they seem to be unhappy?" The tall and thin guy asked curiously.

"When I delivered tea and snacks, I heard a little star, saying that it was the tea and horse division this year, regardless of the next family, just don't want the tea of the Song family, saying that his tea cakes are expensive and not good, all of them have been returned, Song Gongzi got the news after noon, and hurriedly sent a message to make an appointment, wanting Miss Mu Jiabiao to help say a few good words in the Mu family, and take their tea to fill the Mu family tea and deliver it together, so as to reduce some losses." The older guy whispered in a low voice.

"The Mu family has always adhered to the integrity of management, don't say that they don't interact, even if the third aunt and grandmother are there, they won't agree, besides, this is really embarrassing, Miss Biao is all under the fence, how to open this mouth for the unpopular Song family, it's not easy to put anyone in this embarrassing situation, not to mention a girl, the cousin is so inconsiderate, it's really sad." The tall and thin guy sighed.

The shopkeeper caught a glimpse of the guests coming in, so he knocked on the counter with a straight face, and warned: "Okay, okay, what to do, let's open an inn, don't spread the gossip of others, save trouble from the mouth!" ”

Hearing this, the guys dispersed in a hurry, wiped the table, and mopped the floor.

The meal that Qian invited was eaten until the afternoon, Ding Yongdao was already drunk, the corners of his eyes were slightly narrowed, but his feet were not chaotic, and Yu Jindou behind him had a long box in his hand, holding it, which was quite weighty.

"Thank you for Uncle Qian's hospitality, the braised chicken is really a must!" Ding Yongdao pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a hint of a smile.

"Yes, yes, if Brother Ding has any good food to eat in the future, think about brother, let's go together, have meat to eat together, and drink wine together!" Qian is full of red faces, and he is already very drunk.

He put his arm around Ding Yongdao's shoulders and called him a brother, even at this time, he could still say a pun.

Ding Youdao didn't like his style very much, he took his hand away with two fingers, twisted his eyebrows and said: "The person I want needs to know how to be proportionate, know how to advance and retreat, so, when something good happens, I will naturally call you!" ”

"I know, I know." Qian Shang withdrew his hand awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

Ding Youdao walked away, and the drunken money rose back to his home, only to find that the two men in black had not brought people back until now, so he hurriedly sent someone out to look for them, but as a result, one of them was out of breath, and the other probably hit his head, woke up, and only said one word Mu, and then fainted again.

Listening to Bai Ye, these two people were not injured by swords, but were smashed by brute force, Qian was very surprised when he heard it, and even half of the wine woke up, when did the Mu family have such a person who has the strength to cover the world?

According to Qian Chang's knowledge, the eldest master of the Mu family doesn't ask much about things now, most of the time he goes out for a walk with his entourage Qingfeng in the morning, and he will go back early, and if there is nothing big in the afternoon, he will not go out at all.

And usually with the second master Mu Mingcheng, there is only one silent entourage named Changning, he is capable and strong, and his kung fu is not weak, but he doesn't look like a person who fights by brute force, as for the little guy Bao Ying next to the third master Mu Jincheng, he is the same as his master, except for a sharp mouth, he can't do anything, and he thinks his arms are extra when he is in a hurry, let alone beat people.

Qian Shang couldn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head, but he wouldn't swallow this evil breath in vain, he didn't come forward well, so he instigated the relatives of the dead and injured families to go to the county government to sue the Mu family for hurting people and killing people.

The county commander Su Jin is Mu Shaotang's son-in-law, but he is still a good official and a clean official, and his life is at stake, he specially sent Mu Mingcheng to the court to confront him, and the injured man was still speechless, Mu Mingcheng naturally had a way to leave this matter clean.

It's so foolish outside, when he returned home, Mu Mingcheng called Baoying and Baoxing to him, and interrogated him very seriously, Baoying told him how to save people, and handed him the sack printed with Changlong Goods Store.

"Since you said you saved a country girl, where is that girl now?" Mu Mingcheng asked anxiously, if this girl testified, the Mu family would naturally be able to clear their injustice.

"I don't know, we saved her, she was scared, so she ran away." Bao Ying panicked when he said it, and he didn't blink his eyes.

Mu Jincheng didn't want others to know, he mistook Gu Qingzhu for Gu Huang, and was beaten by her and bled out, so he repeatedly told Bao Ying not to say her name to the outside world, and Bao Ying naturally listened to him.

Although Mu Mingcheng knew that Qian was playing tricks, it was not appropriate to tear his face directly, he took Bao Ying and handed over the sack to the county office, only saying that these two black-clothed people were the black sheep of the Qian family, bullying the good and ruining the reputation of Changlong.

As a result, the rise in money was pushed to the forefront, and he had to go to the county government to clear up the relationship, but the two dead and injured family members were not human insides and outs.

For three or five days, this confused account couldn't be calculated, but Gu Qingzhuzi fell ill all of a sudden after being robbed that day.

On that day, although she was forced to leave the Chunfeng Inn, she barely walked out of Nancang County, and she felt dizzy, and she had to take an ox cart back to Cuiping Town by the way.

On weekdays, the mountain road can be completed in half an hour, but she walked for an hour in a drowsy way to climb the Cockscomb Mountain, and if she met a villain at this time, she really didn't have the strength to resist at all.

Fortunately, this is the time when the fresh leaves of the bird's tongue are picked in large quantities, and from time to time you will meet tea sellers on the mountain road, although they are in a hurry, it is better than the silence.

Gu Qingzhu drank the last drop of water, the sun sank into the West Mountain, she shook her head as heavy as a big bucket, and took advantage of the sky to slowly walk down the ridge, her head was light, her legs were not as soft as hers, and only walking such a section of the mountain road had already made her sweat profusely.

The further he walked, the more blurred his eyes became, and the surrounding mountains and bamboo forests all shook involuntarily, no matter how Gu Qingzhu rubbed his eyes, everything began to spin around, flying around!

Gu Qingzhu leaned on the rocks, closed her eyes, and gasped for breath, she secretly warned herself, she must persevere, she must persevere, she must persist until she arrives at home, the little sister is still waiting for her!

After slowing down, she continued to walk, and after a while stopped and closed her eyes to rest, so that the mountain road not far away, she walked extremely hard, covered in cold sweat, soaked her underwear.

"Wow......" Gu Qingzhu finally couldn't help the nausea rolling in his stomach, and he lay on the mountain rock and vomited.

Although she is not a serious healer, she also knows that everything she is doing now is the result of the knife at noon, and she had better lie down and rest, but she can't stop!

The night is vast, and the mountains and forests will soon be flooded, Gu Qingzhu is still moving step by step, what she is even more anxious about at this time is that it is dark, Qingying can't see her, she must be crying.

"Green Bamboo!" A fire lit up in front of him, and Liang Mancang's anxious voice came.

The sound of "full ......" seemed to be redemption, Gu Qingzhu's heart was relieved, and his body immediately softened.

"Sister!" It was Qingying's crying voice.

"Green Bamboo!" Qin let out an exclamation.

Liang Mancang stepped forward and hugged Gu Qingzhu, Qin pinched her people, and after a while, she woke up.

"How are you?" Qin Shi touched her forehead, which was covered with sweat, and asked with concern.

"It's not a big deal, let's go home." Gu Qingzhu tried to squeeze out a little smile on Su Bai's face, and held Qingying's hand tightly.

"Your face is too ugly, let Mancang carry you." Qin took her back basket and led Qing Yingdao.

Gu Qingzhu's symptoms of dizziness and nausea have not changed at all, it is really not the time to be hypocritical, so she did not refuse, she was as light as a leaf lying on Liang Mancang's thick back, and she was sick at this time, and she had lost all the energy to work hard for life in the past.

Liang Mancang strode forward, and returned to Gujiaao after a while, at this point, everyone was having dinner, and no one saw them, Liang Mancang was a man in the end, so he had to avoid it, and since the Qin family helped take care of it, he went back first.

"You look like this, do you want to call Qingsong back?" The Qin family helped Gu Qingzhu, who was sleeping on the bed, wipe his face and wash his hands.

"Thank you, auntie, I'm fine, just get some sleep." Gu Qingzhu shook her hand.

"Wait, I'll give you a bowl of porridge, drink it and then go to sleep." Qin turned around and left.

"Sister, I'm very well-behaved, don't leave me!" Qingying pitifully picked up her arms and said.

"It's all my sister's bad, my sister only sells fresh leaves behind her, and accompanies Qingying more." Gu Qingzhu touched his sister's soft hair.

"Let's pull the hook, don't let Laipi!" Qingying hooked Gu Qingzhu's little finger and burst into laughter.

Gu Qingzhu drank half a bowl of porridge and fell asleep, the Qin family was afraid that she would have something to do at night, so she brought the iron egg and let her son sleep in the green pine house, and she took care of it all night.

On the second day, Gu Qingzhu felt nausea better, but he was still dizzy and couldn't get out of bed.

"You were fine when you left yesterday, why did you suddenly do this?" Qin originally thought that she was just tired, but she didn't expect it to be so serious, so she had to ask.

Gu Qingzhu lifted the hair on the back of his head, revealing traces of bruising, and told her what happened in Nancang County, but he didn't say anything about being alone with that inexplicable man in the inn.
