After drinking, Shen Bai slept until dawn the next day.

When I opened my eyes, my head was still a little dizzy, and I looked at the bed tent for a while before I fully woke up.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, Shen Bai felt that her lips were a little swollen, and then a little numb, there was no mirror in the room, she didn't know if it was swollen.

Thinking about it carefully, she just ate a few extra elbows last night, and didn't do anything else, how could her lips be swollen.

After washing her face and going out to blow the cold wind, Shen Bai realized that she couldn't remember much after eating elbows last night, she seemed to ...... Eating elbows and getting yourself drunk.

If he hadn't experienced this matter personally, Shen Bai himself would not have believed such a statement.

How can you still get drunk while eating elbows?

Today I was going to leave and continue to Hanjing, the guards had already packed up their things and gathered outside the post station, Shen Bai turned around and didn't see Gu Hengzhou, ate steamed buns and drank porridge, walked out of the post station and stood at the gate, and after a while, Gu Hengzhou came over on a jujube red horse.

Today he wore a azure embroidered bamboo brocade robe, his back was still straight, his instrument was lofty, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.

"Brother Gu, it's early."

Shen Bai greeted with a smile, but Gu Hengzhou didn't respond, tilted his head, and motioned for her to get on the horse.

Shen Bai walked over, grabbed the saddle and got on the horse, still the same as before, only grabbed a little bit of the hem of his clothes to stabilize his body.

"Let's go!"

Gu Hengzhou ordered in a deep voice, and the team slowly moved forward, doubts arose in Shen Bai's mind, when she just got on the horse, she seemed to see Gu Hengzhou's lip injured.

It's like she was bitten on the first day of her rebirth, when she woke up in Tai Academy.

Could it be that she elbowed him last night after getting drunk?

This...... No, I can't.

Shen Bai felt that he didn't have that much ability, Gu Hengzhou was still angry with her now, even if she had a thief's heart, she could only be strangled to death in the cradle, how dare she put it into practice?

Shen Bai pondered in his mind, the team soon arrived at the gate of the city, and when he was about to leave the city, Xuanyin rode a horse to see him off, and prepared a heavy burden for Shen Bai, in addition to special snacks, there were also a few silver tickets.

He was like a big brother, for fear that they would be cold and hungry on the road.

Shen Bai thanked him again and again before leaving the city and continuing forward.

The weather is cold, there are no special circumstances, it is generally necessary to try to rest at the post station, the distance from Mozhou to the next place is a little far, out of the city, Gu Hengzhou ordered everyone to speed up.

Rao was like this, when it was dark, they still couldn't get to Zhouxian, and stopped at a small village more than ten miles away from Zhouxian.

This Zhuangzi is quite big, the pro-soldiers went to Zhuangzi first, turned around, found that there was a family outside the Zhuangzi, knocked on the door of the staff to identify themselves, and the staff readily agreed to let them borrow for one night.

The staff lives in a two-entry courtyard, which is already the largest in the Zhuangzi, but it is too crowded to suddenly live in about 20 more people.

The staff never thought that his family would one day be able to let the commander live in it, so he quickly let his subordinates vacate three rooms for the twenty elites to live in, and took Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou to the West Chamber, and took two rooms for them.

When they arrived, it was already a little late, and the staff had to let people prepare a dinner party, Gu Hengzhou directly refused, he had never allowed his subordinates to disturb the people, if he hadn't been able to catch up with Zhou County today, he would not have borrowed it at the outsider's house.

Gu Hengzhou refused very resolutely, but he didn't dare to insist, and said a few words diligently, and then left.

The courtyard was quiet, Shen Bai took out the food prepared by Xuanyin and ate it with Gu Hengzhou, but his eyes always unconsciously looked at the wound on the corner of his lips.

After watching it many times, Gu Hengzhou raised his eyes and looked at her and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Shen Bai swallowed what was in his mouth and asked the question that he had been holding back for a day: "Brother Gu, where are you...... How did it hurt? ”

Shen Bai said and pointed to the corners of his lips, Gu Hengzhou's eyebrows were cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”

I don't think I was bitten.

Shen Bai secretly said in his heart, he couldn't tell what Gu Hengzhou meant now, and he was about to vaguely mix it up when there was a sudden knock on the door.

It only rang once, not like it was knocked by hand, but like someone threw a stone at it and smashed it.

Shen Bai immediately looked at the door, Gu Hengzhou signaled Shen Bai not to speak, sat there and didn't move, and two more cat meows sounded outside, but it was obviously a cat meow in human pretend.

Shen Bai asked, "Brother Gu, the person outside may be trying to lead us out, do you want to go out and have a look?" ”

The courtyard outside this one is not big, and the news that they have moved in should have spread all over the place, and there must be something strange about it when someone knocks on the door in this way.

After being paralyzed for three years, Shen Bai is now quite interested in these eccentricities.

Shen Bai looked forward to it, Gu Hengzhou sat for a while, and took her out, the courtyard was empty, and there was no one in sight, but Gu Hengzhou's current insight was by no means ordinary, and he knew where the person was hiding with a casual sweep, picked up the stones outside the door and threw them over, a cry of pain sounded, and the person fell off the courtyard wall.

Shen Bai followed the sound and ran out of the yard to press the man to the ground.

The person was not tall, and after being held down, he struggled desperately, and Shen Bai almost couldn't hold it down alone, but fortunately, Gu Hengzhou arrived in time and lifted the person up directly.

The three of them returned to the house together, and the man was a head shorter than Shen Bai, just a teenager and a half-year-old.

The child's clothes were a little tattered, and his face was dirty, like a little beggar, but his eyes were very bright, and he was strange when he stared at people.

Shen Bai patted him on the head and asked, "What are you trying to do to lure us out and run?" ”

The child looked at Shen Bai and then at Gu Hengzhou, puffing out his cheeks and not speaking, Gu Hengzhou pressed him aside and sat down, looked at Shen Bai with sharp eyes, and asked, "What did you just run?" ”

Shen Bai was a little confused when asked, obviously he was interrogating this child at this moment, why did the spearhead suddenly point at her?

Gu Hengzhou's expression was very serious, waiting for Shen Bai to answer, Shen Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard the voice, I was afraid that he would run away, so I wanted to help." ”

"Who can you beat now?" Gu Hengzhou continued to question, Shen Bai was weak-hearted, and weakly lowered his head to apologize: "I didn't think about it so much just now, I will pay attention to it in the future, Brother Gu, don't be angry." ”

Speaking of the back, Shen Bai's voice became smaller and smaller, unconsciously carrying a little coquettishness.

Gu Hengzhou let her go, and then looked at the child.

The child didn't know Gu Hengzhou's temperament, and was afraid of him, so he hurriedly said: "Commander Gu, please save my mother, my father is going to kill her!" ”

"Who is your father?"

Shen Bai couldn't help asking, the child's eyes drooped, and he said sullenly: "My father is Zhang Dahai." ”

Zhang Dahai, the staff who received them tonight.

If this kid is really Zhang Dahai's son, how could he be like this?

Shen Bai looked suspicious, and asked the most critical question: "Where is your mother now?" ”

"I didn't know that she was carried out in the evening." The child said with a crying voice, pinning all his hopes on Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai was very strange, and continued to ask the child: "Your mother is fine, why was she carried out, is she sick?" ”

"She's caught a cold, just take some medicine." The child whispered, his eyes dodging and he didn't dare to look at Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou.

Shen Bai made a judgment in his heart, this child's mother is probably not as simple as being infected with wind and cold.

There should be a lot of things hidden in the Yuanwai Mansion.

Since he borrowed to live here, after hearing these things, Gu Hengzhou didn't plan to sit idly by, but fortunately, Zhuangzi was not particularly big, Gu Hengzhou picked five people from the twenty elites and asked them to search everywhere in Zhuangzi.

Shen Bai asked the kid slowly, knowing that his name was Zhang Jun, the eldest son of Zhang Dahai's wife Li, Zhang Dahai was lucky to be a middle-aged worker, and he lived a poor life before, and Li lived a hard life with him.

However, he was a member of the staff for less than two years, Li suddenly got hysteria for some reason, and went crazy and injured Zhang Dahai, Li was crazy for two years, and was finally found to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well, Zhang Dahai soon married a step-room and entered the door, worried that Li's disease would be inherited, Zhang Dahai carried three more aunts into the door to spread the branches.

Zhang Dahai got another son and a daughter, and Zhang Jun's status in the house became lower and lower, but this stepmother was very good to him, and what he wanted Gu Hengzhou to save was him, the stepmother.

Shen Bai didn't like Sun very much, Shen Bai was surprised to see Zhang Jun like this stepmother so much, she could understand Zhang Jun's feelings, if it wasn't for this stepmother being particularly good to him, he would definitely not be like this.

Zhang Jun is very wary, he refuses to say what illness his stepmother has, Shen Bai can't ask, forget it, just think that this child is young, his mind is quite mature, and his courage is quite big.

Gu Hengzhou asked people to fetch water to clean Zhang Jun briefly, took a set of his own clothes for him to change into, guarded him to sleep in this house, and drove Shen Bai to the next room.

There was no movement in the second half of the night, thinking about things, Shen Bai woke up early the next day, but he didn't expect that Gu Hengzhou and Zhang Jun were already in the yard, and Gu Hengzhou was guiding Zhang Jun to take a horse.

Shen Bai walked over and asked suspiciously, "Brother Gu, why did you get up so early to practice, are you planning to take this child as an apprentice?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's expression was quite cold, he pinched his eyebrows and said, "He is too energetic, he needs to hone it well." "I love eBooks

This sounds like he was tossed by Zhang Jun last night and didn't sleep at all.

Shen Bai admired Zhang Jun a little, she was not afraid of heaven and earth in Tai Academy at that time, and she didn't dare to make trouble with Gu Hengzhou.

Gu Hengzhou's clothes are too wide for Zhang Jun, and it is a bit funny to wear on him, but his face can be seen more clearly during the day, and his appearance is quite handsome.

I don't know what Gu Hengzhou said to Zhang Jun, the child was standing there, he was very well-behaved when he was zama, and he didn't have any rebellious mentality.

After a while, Zhang Dahai personally came to the West Chamber, and asked Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou to go to the front hall for breakfast, and when he saw Zhang Jun here, Zhang Dahai's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he scolded Zhang Jun: "Who asked you to come here?" Do you know who these two are, you can't cut off ten heads if you collide with them! ”

Zhang Jun took care of himself, but he didn't hear what Zhang Dahai was saying.

Zhang Dahai is the head of the family, he was so neglected, he couldn't control his temper, the elite sent out by Gu Hengzhou came back last night, glanced at Zhang Dahai and said to Gu Hengzhou: "Great Commander, the person has been found." ”

Zhang Dahai was shocked, looked at Zhang Jun and then at Gu Hengzhou, not sure who they were looking for.

As soon as Zhang Jun heard that someone had found him, he immediately rushed over and asked eagerly, "Where is my mother?" ”

Zhang Dahai was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, it exploded all of a sudden, and he was about to hit Zhang Jun when he raised his hand, Gu Hengzhou grabbed Zhang Jun's shoulder and pulled it back, and Zhang Dahai's slap fell short.

The guard said, "Commander, people are in the hall." ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't let Zhang Jun run around, and said in a deep voice: "Then go to the front hall and have a look." ”

The group came to the front hall, the front hall was already crowded with people, presumably the people Zhang Dahai had summoned before, and wanted them to see what the commander Gu Da who was guarding the border was like.

"Commander Gu and Master are here!"

The little guy guarding the door shouted, everyone immediately got out of the way, Shen Bai followed Gu Hengzhou to the front, and at a glance saw a stretcher on the ground in the front hall, and there was a person lying on the stretcher, the person was in rags, and there were many ulcers on his body that emitted a foul smell, and the onlookers all raised their hands to cover their noses.

The hair was scattered all over the face, and it was difficult to see the face.

"Let go of me, I want to see my mother!" Zhang Jun struggled even more, Gu Hengzhou didn't let go, Shen Bai took two steps forward and squatted in front of the man.

The closer you crouched, the stench got stronger, and the rotting wounds looked more and more hideous.

Shen Bai's eyebrows furrowed, in her previous life, she was rolling in the beauty township, and she had seen similar symptoms from many girls in Lanyue Pavilion.

It's willow disease.

It can't be cured.

The onlookers were all disgusted, and they didn't understand how the person who should have appeared in the mass grave was carried back again.

The guard in charge of finding people said: "When the subordinates found her, the subordinates of the Yuanwai Mansion were planning to bury her alive, and those two subordinates were outside, so the commander wanted to summon them in for questioning?" ”

"Not yet." Gu Hengzhou said, turned his head to look at Zhang Dahai, and asked, "This should be Zhang Yuanwai's stepfamily, why did you bury her alive?" ”

Murder is to go to prison, Zhang Dahai looked nervous, and hurriedly said: "The commander doesn't know, this slut doesn't abide by women's morals, and has this unsightly disease, I have raised her to the end of her benevolence and righteousness, and the doctor said that her time is short, and I also want her to be freed as soon as possible, so as not to suffer more pain." ”

It was as if he were doing a good deed.

"You fart!"

Zhang Jun scolded, kicked his legs and wanted to kick Zhang Haihai, but was caught by Gu Hengzhou by the collar and couldn't move.

The onlookers were shocked by Zhang Jun's actions, and they all said that it was the opposite, and the kid dared to argue with Lao Tzu, and some said that he was really the same as the dead Li, he had hysteria, and his brain was not clear.

These words are very harsh, and they are really vicious when applied to a child.

Shen Bai couldn't get used to hearing it, coughed twice and said faintly: "This is the step-room that Zhang Yuanwai carried into the Yuanwai Mansion, that is the person from the Yuanwai Mansion, and she is not the kind of girl who makes a living in the dust, even if she is sick, she has the right to live before she breathes, Zhang Yuanwai let her be buried alive, according to the law, it is also murder, and she will be imprisoned." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, the hall was quiet for a moment, and then several aunts and the old lady of the Zhang family all cried, and they all counted down the step-room, and they deserved to die.

Zhang Jun couldn't hear this, and scolded them with his throat, which was very lively for a while.

The person lying on the ground was woken up, coughed weakly twice, Shen Bai had been squatting in front of her, hearing it clearly, seeing that she seemed to want to speak, he leaned closer, reached out to brush the hair on her face, and then was stunned.

This person was so thin that he was almost out of shape, his eye sockets were sunken, his cheekbones were prominent, he looked a little hideous, her eyes were confused, and after seeing Shen Bai's face clearly, her eyes suddenly widened, and she grabbed Shen Bai's wrist.

She used all her strength, like a drowning person, to grasp the life-saving straw.

Shen Bai originally only thought that she looked a little familiar, but after being caught, he chuckled in his heart and called hesitantly: "Chabai? ”

When the words fell, two lines of tears immediately flowed from the corners of the man's eyes, his mouth opened and closed for a long time, and he said hoarsely: "Please Miss help Jun'er!" ”

It's really her.

Shen Bai's heart sank to the bottom, when she left, she left a lot of silver for Cha Bai and Lu Jian, they could buy a house in Hanjing and settle down, not to mention anything else, it is always possible to have no worries about food and clothing, how could Cha Bai appear here, and become like this?

The originally noisy crowd slowly quieted down, Zhang Dahai looked at Shen Bai in disbelief, and asked sneeringly, "This girl...... Know the? ”

Cha Bai's health is too poor, and it's too noisy here, so it's really not the place to ask.

Shen Bai looked up at Zhang Dahai, suppressed his temper and said, "Please prepare a carriage for Zhang Yuanwai, her health is too bad, I will take her to the county town to see a doctor." ”

A group of people looked at each other, and suddenly didn't know what to say, Gu Hengzhou asked the guards to help carry Chabai out, and then asked Zhang Jun: "Do you want to stay here, or go to Hanjing with us?" ”

"I'll go with you!" Zhang Jun didn't want to answer directly, Gu Hengzhou said coldly: "I will never come back this time, have you thought clearly?" ”

Zhang Jun nodded without hesitation, and Gu Hengzhou left with him.

With Gu Hengzhou here, the people of the Zhang family did not dare to stop it, the carriage was quickly prepared, and the group set off for Zhou County.

After noon, the group arrived in Zhouxian County and went directly to the largest hospital in the city.

Cha Bai's physical condition was too bad, and carrying it to the hospital attracted a lot of people's side eyes.

The person who helped her diagnose and treat her was a fifty-year-old Lang Zhong, who had been diagnosing his pulse for a long time, and secretly shook his head at Shen Bai, what Zhang Dahai said was true, Cha Bai was already terminally ill, and there was not much time left.

Shen Bai asked Lang Zhong to prepare a room to help Cha Baizai clean up carefully, boiled a pair of medicines to feed her, slept for a while, and drank two bowls of rice porridge, and in the evening, Cha Bai finally woke up.

Shen Bai has been staying by her side, she woke up and saw Shen Bai, her eyes immediately turned red, tears fell down as if she didn't want money, Shen Bai comforted her for a while, and her emotions calmed down.

Three years ago, Shen Bai disappeared for no reason, Cha Bai and Lu Jian were very worried but there was no way to find someone, so they could only dispose of the batch of wood according to Shen Bai's previous explanation, and gave heavy gifts when Wu Shouxin and Zhou Jue got married, and most of the rest of the money was handed over to Shen Ruxiu for safekeeping.

The two originally planned to buy a house in Beijing according to Shen Bai's instructions and wait for Shen Bai to come back, but because the two of them were born in the dust, there was no way to transfer the house, so Cha Bai went to find Zhou Jue, for Shen Bai's sake, Zhou Jue generously said that he would help, but he was busy with official business, and Jiang Qinse later helped deal with this matter.

In the process of purchasing the house, Cha Bai met Zhang Dahai, Zhang Dahai was very good to Cha Bai as soon as they met, and gave her a lot of things, although he was much older than Cha Bai and was not a native of Hanjing, but Cha Bai took a fancy to him and was honest and honest, so he followed Zhang Dahai to marry here despite the dissuasion of Lu Jian

After entering the door, Zhang Dahai changed into a person, leaving Zhang Jun to take care of her, and he was quite ungentle in the matter of the bed, and later he carried three aunts into the door, and Chabai was even more neglected.

Knowing that his time is short, he has no resentment at all when he talks about these old things, but he feels that he is blind and mistrusts people, and he should not be greedy for a moment of tenderness, if he has been with Lujian in Hanjing, he will not fall to this point.

"From Muzhou to Hanjing, the slave maid has seen the wealth and glory that she has never seen in this life, and there are no regrets in this life, but Jun'er is a good child, and he should never be buried here, the slave and maid beg the young lady to take care of him, and the slave and maid will definitely repay the young lady as a cow and a horse in the next life."

Cha Bai took Shen Bai's hand and said, his words were stained with sadness.

She has a troubled life, and she is alone when she comes, but fortunately, Zhang Jun treats her as her own mother and never abandons her, and the only one she can't let go of is him.

Shen Bai can be regarded as a mother in Lingmeng, and he can understand Chabai's feelings, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I will take you back to Hanjing, you can recuperate well, and you can watch him marry a wife and have children in the future." ”

Chabai choked up, unable to speak, only nodded vigorously.

Gu Hengzhou asked Zhang Jun to buy clothes that fit, and only after cleaning up did he let him come over to accompany Chabai, Shen Bai didn't disturb them to talk, and walked out of the room, feeling a little heavy.

If she was in Hanjing three years ago, she probably wouldn't have let Cha Bai follow Zhang Dahai to such a far place.

Zhang Dahai was still not at ease, and soon chased to Zhouxian, and heard that Shen Bai was in the medical hall, and after rushing to the medical hall, he paid the medical expenses first, and then came to Shen Bai to apologize, saying that he realized his mistake, and he had indeed mistreated Chabai in the past two years, and he would definitely take good care of Chabai these days to make up for his mistakes in the past two years.

Shen Bai didn't believe what Zhang Dahai said at all, and didn't let him see Chabai and Zhang Jun, and only asked him a question.

She wanted to know how Zhang Dahai met Chabai back then.

Maybe it's because she's narrow-minded, maybe it's because she lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and when she heard Jiang Qinse's name from Chabai's mouth, Shen Bai always felt that this matter was not simple.

Zhang Dahai doesn't remember much about the meeting between the two back then, and his answer was very sloppy, and there was nothing of value.

When the county magistrate heard that Gu Hengzhou was coming, he came to visit in person, and happened to meet Zhang Dahai who was also there, so Gu Hengzhou directly asked the county magistrate to arrest Zhang Dahai and put him in prison.

It is a fact that Zhang Dahai wants to bury Chabai alive, and according to the law, he must be disposed of as he should be.
