Chapter 4 Dressed in Lust
An Su was anxious, and pulled Liu Le to follow Changjun to the Qingshui River. When I got there, I saw that the villagers gathered in a circle, and many of them were neighbors who were familiar with each other on weekdays.
"Shangguan girl is here, come and see your father!" Second Aunt Lin, who takes a lot of care of their family on weekdays, took the lead in beckoning. The expressions of the people present were not very good-looking, and An Su had a vague bad premonition in his heart, and his steps towards the river seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"Poor place! The three children are still young, and Qingfeng is gone, what can I do if I leave them behind! ”
"Yes! The family was already having a hard time, and the children had nothing to rely on. ”
Ansu walked all the way, and the discussion of the villagers entered her ears, and she already understood that her father really died in the Qingshui River that he loved the most. She crouched down and gently stroked her father's soaked hair, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes. My father's body was right in front of me, but I always felt that none of this was real. When he went out this morning, he was still in high spirits, laughing and saying that he was going to catch a king fish, and in a blink of an eye, he was already like this.
After a while, An Su raised his head and looked at his younger brother Changjun who was standing not far away. Her father passed away suddenly, and as the eldest daughter in the family, she had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother even though she was saddened.
An Su wiped a handful of tears and asked the villagers present to help before sending his father's body home.
The funeral was very simple, firstly, there was really no one to entrust, so he could only be hastily buried with the help of the villagers, and secondly, Ansu did not have enough money to give his father a grand funeral. The little money in his hand had to be left behind, so that his younger brothers could get a bite to eat in this sudden sorrow.
"Ansu, what are you going to do in the future?" Liu Le accompanied An Su for a night, and when the sky was clear, she finally took the time to sit next to her and ask.
An Su took a deep breath: "There is no way to do it. ”
"Why don't you go back with me!" Liu Le took An Su's hand, "I can let you and your younger brothers eat and wear without worry." ”
"Eldest sister." A hazy call came from the back room, and Shangguan Changjun walked out rubbing his sleepy eyes. He fell asleep yesterday after crying tiredly, and he had just woken up.
"Changjun, where is my brother?" Previously, Liu Le mentioned his younger brother, and An Su realized that he didn't seem to have seen the third brother Shangguan Shaojun. Yesterday, when he was left at home, he thought he was asleep in the room, and An Su didn't know how to tell him about his father's death, so he simply let him sleep well. But at this point, it's time to wake up.
"Isn't my brother with my eldest sister?" Changjun was also puzzled.
Only then did An Su really realize that something was wrong, and they searched the entire house in a hurry, but they never saw Shangguan Shaojun. Yesterday, my father's death happened suddenly, and I didn't pay attention to my younger brother all of a sudden, and I actually caused him to lose it. An Su propped up on the wall with regret, Shaojun is still so young, where should he go in one night!
"Ansu, don't worry, let's look around first, maybe it's just a child who gets lost."
"Yes, look around first." An Su came to his senses, "Shaojun is wearing black clothes today, and he has a cracked jade pendant around his neck. Ah Le, you can also help find it! ”
Liu Le listened to these characteristics, and a subtle sense of familiarity came to her heart, and she remembered the thatched house that was captured by Wu Lao Er, and there seemed to be a little boy dressed in black in the inner room. It's just that I was too scared at the time, and I couldn't care about anything other than fleeing quickly.
"Ah Le, what's wrong with you? Have you seen my brother somewhere? An Su felt that Liu Le's expression was a little wrong.
“...... No, no, I haven't seen it. Liu Le denied it in fear.
An Su didn't pay much attention to her unusual look, she was all about finding her brother, and after assigning directions, the three of them went their separate ways to find her. The morning passed in a panic, but he never saw Shangguan Shaojun's figure, but Liu Le's servants came to find him.
"Ansu, I'm going back." Liu Le reluctantly handed An Su a handkerchief, "You take this handkerchief, if you have the opportunity to come to Chang'an to find me in the future, this handkerchief can be used as a token." ”
An Su nodded, there is no feast in the world, she has understood this truth since she was a child.
After sending Liu Le away, An Su took Changjun to continue the search, and when she passed by the Huiyue Teahouse, she suddenly remembered the woman's words yesterday, saying that Gu Xiangshi's hexagram was all true. If you can ask him to make a divination for his younger brother and find out where he is now, you can easily find people back.
"Changjun, you go to Aunt Lin's house first, and the eldest sister will go back when she goes." An Su instructed Changjun, and then went to Huiyue Teahouse to inquire about Gu Wenzhou's whereabouts.
According to the proprietress of the teahouse, Gu Wenzhou has stayed in Qinghe County in recent days, and he loves the Lingbiao tea of this Huiyue teahouse, and he will come here every day to drink it, but I don't know when he will come. Although An Su was in a hurry, he had no choice but to squat in the corner of the teahouse and catch Gu Wenzhou's figure in the crowd.
Five or six hours passed, and An Su was already hungry, but he didn't even see Gu Wenzhou's shadow. The proprietress of Huiyue Teahouse was a kind person, and when she learned the news of her father's death, she felt pity and took two steamed buns to satisfy her hunger.
Gu Wenzhou has always traveled all over the world, and even if he has a preference for tea here, he will not stay for too long. The proprietress understood in her heart, but she didn't know how to talk to An Su. She is so persistent, I am afraid that she will not be easily persuaded.
After a few more hours, it was time for the sun to set, and there were many fewer customers in the teahouse. At this hour, Hualiu Lane, which is adjacent to the street, is the most noisy, and the guests who were originally sitting in the teahouse also rushed to the adjacent street, and An Su, who was sitting in the corner, seemed to be even more alone. Her gaze looked faintly into the distance, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on her face, illuminating her furrowed eyebrows.
With two blinks of her eyes, the sunlight on her face was blocked by more than half, An Su raised her head, and Gu Wenzhou stood in front of her. He is still dressed in white, standing against the light, like a god and Buddha who came down to save the common people, but at this moment he only came for An Su alone.
"Miss Shangguan is looking for Gu?" Gu Wenzhou's face was full of smiles, and his curved eyebrows and eyes looked like a fox at the foot of the mountain.
An Su hurriedly stood up: "Gu Xiangshi, yesterday's uncertain hexagram may be made up today?" ”
Gu Wenzhou invited her to sit on the edge of the railing, and then asked the proprietress for a pot of his favorite Lingbiao tea, before raising his eyes to look at the eager Ansu.
"Gu has always been a hexagram of the day, and after the end of the day, Miss Shangguan had given up the opportunity to ask for hexagrams yesterday, so naturally she could not be kept to this day."
"What about today? Can Gu Xiangshi divinate me today? An Su was apprehensive, and his hands unconsciously covered the table.
Gu Wenzhou seemed to be a little interested: "Miss Shangguan said yesterday that divination is a glimpse of the destiny of heaven, why did she come to ask for a hexagram today?" ”
"It's not a secret, the younger brother Shaojun is lost, and today I want to get Gu Xiangshi's hexagram to find the trace of the younger brother." An Su remembered his words yesterday and said seriously, "Gu Xiangshi said that divination only looks at the edge of the eye, I don't know how this eye edge looks?" ”
Gu Wenzhou shook his head thoughtfully: "The eye edge is only one of them, if the Shangguan girl can help Gu solve a problem, Gu can also help the girl to make a hexagram." ”
Ansu almost did not hesitate: "What's the problem?" ”
"Yesterday, Gu was boating on the lake, and saw a man obsessed with a woman, and came forward to inquire and learned that the man and the woman had been together for several years, and it was really beautiful to spend the moon before and after. But the woman had married someone else not long ago, and the man was entangled day by day, hoping that the woman would change her mind. Gu Wenzhou paused for a moment after speaking, and then continued, "I don't know how Miss Shangguan judges this matter, is it the man's obsession and unreasonableness, or the woman's fault for choosing someone else?" ”
"Nothing wrong. When I was a child, I used to love the sugar cakes of the pastry shop at the entrance of Jundong Lane, but when I grew up, I gradually lost them. I'm not wrong, there's nothing wrong with sugar cakes, and there's nothing wrong with the pastry shop. An Su thought for a while and said lightly, "Heaven and earth can't last long, but what about people?" The world is changing, and it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, it's great to be okay. ”
Gu Wenzhou took a sip of tea and looked at An Su again: "What Miss Shangguan said makes sense, can you reveal where the teacher is?" ”
An Su shook his head and replied truthfully: "My family is poor, and I have never studied with a teacher, but I occasionally heard someone in the teahouse say a few words, and I remembered it when I thought it made sense." ”
Seeing that Gu Wenzhou was quite satisfied with her answer, An Su unabashedly looked at her expectantly: "The problem can be solved?" Can Gu Xiangshi make a divination for me? ”
Gu Wenzhou has always been true to his word, and at this time he finally put down the tea cup in his hand and began to concentrate on calculating.
"If Gu Xiangshi needs copper coins to make a hexagram, I will immediately go and borrow it from the proprietress." The Xiangshi that Ansu saw in the past were all divined with three copper coins.
Gu Wenzhou shook his head lightly: "The strategy of Qimen, three odds and eight doors, all depend on the number of hours, and there is no need for copper coins." ”
His eyes were closed and his expression was serious, so An Su sat quietly on the side, just watching carefully, and did not make a sound to disturb. Her heartbeat quickened a lot, and she didn't know if it was because she saw Gu Wenzhou's concentrated appearance, or because she was worried about her younger brother's safety.
After a while, Gu Wenzhou finally opened his eyes, but his gaze at An Su changed a lot. His brow furrowed slightly, and the inquiring meaning in his eyes became more and more obvious. This is the first time that he has been uncontrolled in the divination, and the original intention was to explore the whereabouts of Shangguan Shaojun, but in Fang Cai's hexagram, An Su's future fate was revealed. And all the signs in the hexagram show that the seemingly ordinary peasant girl in front of her is actually the fate of the phoenix.
"Gu Xiangshi, Gu Xiangshi?" An Su called a few times before pulling Gu Wenzhou back from his contemplation. She asked worriedly, "Can Gu Xiangshi figure out where his younger brother is now?" ”
Gu Wenzhou's heart was in a mess, it stands to reason that the Mandate of Heaven is like this, and he should do it to promote the Mandate of Heaven, but at this time, he has not calculated the whereabouts of the young monarch, how can a cultivator lie?
When he was struggling, the voice of the proprietress of the teahouse came from downstairs, and at the same time, there were many people sitting indoors.
"Gu Xiangshi, a group of officers and soldiers came downstairs, saying that they came to you on a special trip."
