Chapter 171: I Have Something to Tell You
"Ah Li, you've been bitten!"
Yue Yan said and pinched Chu Gua's cheek, forcing him to open his mouth to free Su Li's fingers.
"Ahhh~"
Chu Gua snorted dissatisfiedly, his teeth only had a little tip, Su Li's fingertips were bitten a little, and there was no blood after a little droplet, but Yue Yan still smeared some medicine on Su Li.
Su Li was very quiet during the whole process of taking the medicine, and it was not until Yue Yan wanted to help Su Li wrap the gauze that she muttered in a low voice: "Sister, can't you see?" ”
"See what?"
Yue Yan raised her head and asked, but saw that Su Li had been looking to the side, Yue Yan followed her line of sight, there was only a pot of golden cinnamon there, and nothing else.
The autumn afternoon sun was still a little hot, but Yue Yan suddenly felt a chill in his back.
"Ah Li, what do you see?"
"A man."
Su Li said calmly, her eyes colliding with the man's.
The man was dressed in white, exactly the same as she had seen in several dreams, his face was handsome, his eyebrows were light, revealing the indifference and tranquility of a hidden master, his face was very kind, but his face had no expression, which invisibly gave people a feeling that he was not very easy to get along with.
When Su Li looked at him, he was also looking at Su Li.
They had met several times, but this time was very different, Su Li was awake, she could clearly feel Yue Yan grasping her hand, and there was a slight trembling, Su Li knew that Yue Yan was scared and worried about herself.
Su Li gently held Yue Yan's hand back, using this to give herself strength to calm down, and then she saw the man walk in front of her.
The man was actually very tall, but when he stood in front of Su Li, he didn't let Su Li feel oppressed.
"Can you see me?"
The man asked, surprised that Su Li could see him.
"Who are you?"
Su Li was talking to him, she was a little nervous, and her voice was a little dry compared to usual.
The man didn't answer, and raised his right hand, and at the same time, Su Li felt a faint heat in his eyebrows, as if there was some kind of secret connection with his fingertips.
"Who are you?"
Su Li continued to ask, her voice slightly raised, and the man's fingertips were gently pressed against the center of her eyebrows.
The center of his eyebrows burned suddenly, Su Li frowned, but fortunately, the man quickly withdrew his hand, and Su Li heard his confused whisper: "Strange." ”
Strange what?
Su Li wanted to ask, but when she looked up, the man was gone, Su Li couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her eyes, the garden was still the garden just now, but there was no trace of the man.
"Ah Li, are you alright?"
Yue Yan asked worriedly by pulling Su Li, Su Li shook her head and rubbed her eyebrows, the burning sensation had disappeared.
"That man...... Is it still here? ”
Yue Yan asked, her scalp tingled for a while, just now she heard Su Li ask that person a question, but her eyes were sour, and she didn't see the man Su Li said.
Yue Yan didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but this series of recent events made her suspicious.
"It's gone."
Su Li rubbed her eyebrows and replied, as if she had spent a lot of energy, Yue Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something but didn't know where to start.
These things are too mysterious, and with what she has learned in her life, she can't help Su Li anything.
Yue Yan simply didn't ask any more, and squatted on the side to untie the gauze on Chu Gua's feet to help him change the dressing, but after opening it, Yue Yan was dumbfounded.
"A-Li!"
Yue Yan shouted, his voice trembling slightly, Su Li turned her head and saw Yue Yan grabbing Chu Gua's foot with six fingers.
The fingers, which had been swollen and cracked yesterday, were now smooth and soft, as if they had not been hurt at all.
"His feet ......"
"That's it!"
Yue Yan replied, grabbing Chu Gua's little finger to let Su Li see more clearly.
Chu Gua's injury was so strange that Su Li and Yue Yan didn't feel happy because of this, but their hearts lifted slightly.
Is it because this child has a special constitution and has a self-healing function? Will anyone do anything terrible to him because of his constitution?
Su Li diverged her thoughts, and was thinking wildly, when she saw Yue Yan looking at her hand with a strange expression.
"What's wrong......
Su Li lost her voice halfway through the question, and the finger she had been bitten by Chu Gua could no longer see the traces.
It seems that Chugua didn't bite her hand at all.
Su Li hooked her fingertips and glanced at Yue Yan, both of whom saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Chu Gua's body didn't show any abnormalities before, if it wasn't his problem, it was Su Li's problem!
"Back to the main house!"
Su Li said that Yue Yan took the initiative to carry Chu Gua back to the main courtyard with her, there was no one else in the courtyard, Qibao was also driven out, Su Li took a dagger and aimed it at his hand.
"Sister believes I'm not a youkai?"
"You're not!"
Yue Yan replied categorically, Su Li waved his hand violently, the dagger slashed on the white fingertips, an inch-long hole appeared on the fingertips, and the red blood rushed out, a drop of blood fell to the ground, and then under the witness of the two of them, the scar quickly disappeared and returned to normal.
"Alright."
Su Li looked at her fingertips and announced, twisted her two fingers, there was no pain at all, if it weren't for the blood stains left on the dagger, even she would have thought it was a dream.
She has a self-healing function, and her blood can also heal other people's injuries very quickly.
This...... It's horrible!
Su Li thought in her heart, Yue Yan had come back to her senses, snatched the dagger from Su Li's hand, wiped it clean with a silk handkerchief, and said calmly: "Don't let others know about this matter, we will think of countermeasures together when Hou Ye comes back in a while, Ah Li, you must not be injured in front of others in the future!" ”
Yue Yan's speech was very fast, and as he spoke, he inserted the dagger into the scabbard and stuffed it into Su Li's hand.
Su Li's hands were a little cold, she held Su Li's with both hands, and looked at Su Li's eyes fixedly: "Ah Li, we will protect you, you will live a hundred years, you know?" ”
She said these words to Su Li, and it seemed to be for herself.
Su Li finally came back to her senses from the shock, hooked her lips and smiled: "I know." ”
She had just married Chu Huai'an, and she hadn't had time to give birth to him yet, how could she allow herself to have an accident?
Seeing Su Li's promise, Yue Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu Gua giggled on the bed, and the laughter was pure and clean, breaking the dull atmosphere in the room.
Su Li cheered up: "It's actually a good thing to think about it, if something happens to you in the future, maybe my blood can save you." ”
"Ah Li, don't think like that!"
Yue Yan hugged Su Li and whispered seriously in her ear: "You deserve to be cherished, not to be used to casually bleed to save people!" ”
She can restore Chu Gua with a drop of blood now, and maybe a bowl of blood can bring people back to life in the future.
There are thousands of people in the world, who would want to die?
If everyone had to put a little blood out of her, wouldn't she live in purgatory on earth every day?
In that kind of scene, just thinking about it, Yue Yan felt creepy.
No matter what others thought, Yue Yan felt that no matter what happened in the future, she didn't want Su Li to use her own blood to save people.
Although Su Li's injuries will heal quickly, it doesn't mean that she won't be in pain.
Yue Yan remembered that Su Li was a person who was afraid of pain.
Under Yue Yan's repeated requests, Su Li agreed that she would not use her own blood to save people in the future.
With the guarantee, Yue Yan was a little more relieved, and seeing that it was going to be noon, Su Li asked the kitchen to prepare some more meals.
The two of them were much more silent than usual because of what happened today, Su Li remembered what Wen Ling said before, and took the initiative to provoke the topic to divert Yue Yan's attention.
"How is Gu Jiong doing?"
Since returning to Beijing, Yue Yan and Gu Ji have hardly seen each other again, and when asked by Su Li at this time, Yue Yan's expression froze: "It should be the same as before." ”
"I heard that Miss Zhang from the Quartet seems to be getting a little close to him."
Su Li used more euphemistic rhetoric, not only to save Zhang Zhizhi's face, but also not to make Yue Yan feel too disgusted.
Yue Yan's eyelashes trembled, and she avoided Su Li's gaze by pouring tea: "Ah Li is talking about Miss Zhizhi, she is very good, she knows kung fu, she is also lively, full of enthusiasm and justice, in the more than a year that you have been away, she has also helped catch two murderers!" ”
After Yue Yan finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank tea, and his tone revealed a bit of envy.
She has a weak body, and her life experience can be regarded as miserable, because of her medical skills, when she was at the border, Lu Ji and the rough old men in the barracks took special care of her, Gu Li didn't know martial arts at the beginning, and she didn't feel anything with Gu Li by her side.
Later, Gu Li suffered a catastrophe, she lost the news of Gu Jiong, and suddenly resented herself.
Why doesn't she know martial arts? If she knew martial arts and had the ability to protect herself, wouldn't Gu Ji have been killed by Ku Keduo because she was looking for her? If she knew martial arts, would she be able to help Gu Ji and Lu Ji do something?
But she has no talent for martial arts, and she is not as able to endure hardships as Su Li.
At that time, Su Li had just arrived at the border, and she was also a weak woman, but Su Li had a lot of strength in her body, she could not eat, drink, sleep, grit her teeth and practice hard, and she would not shout if her body was broken, and she could endure it even if her bones were broken.
Su Li is smarter than her, obviously the two of them were determined to learn martial arts together, but in just a few months, Su Li dumped her a lot.
And everyone persuaded her not to hold on, practicing medicine is also very important, others are so tired from marching and fighting, and they have to give her psychological counseling with all their hearts, why should she be so hypocritical?
So she gave up learning martial arts and worked hard to study medical skills, not wanting to be a drag on others, but this scar had already been dug deep into her heart, in a corner that no one knew, making her inferior to the point of self-esteem.
Yue Yan knew that Zhang Zhizhi and her were completely opposite personalities, Zhang Zhizhi was very straightforward and hearty, Yue Yan had seen her wearing a riding costume and wielding a whip, she was really heroic and beautiful.
Gu Zhi's temperament is indifferent now, and he is not close to women, but Yue Yan knows that he appreciates Zhang Zhizhi.
Otherwise, he would not have acquiesced to Zhang Zhizhi's pestering of him, let alone allowed Zhang Zhizhi to follow him repeatedly to participate in the investigation of the murder.
In fact, it's okay, if he can't let go of the past and hate her, she will be hated by him, and someone who cares about him is better than him being lonely.
What Yue Yan was thinking was clearly written on his face, and Su Li was stunned, but he didn't know what to say.
Just like Lu Ji to Su Li, Lu Ji can't forget Gu Li, can't accept Su Li, Su Li is hard attached to him, and he is just imprisoning himself.
If Gu Yan had been unable to let go of the past, Su Li didn't want Yue Yan to be trapped in the past by him.
But there are some things that still need to be worked on.
"I heard that Gu Zhi carried a hairpin with him, and Zhizhi felt that it was the private property of Gu Zhi's crusher, and my sister could see the hairpin?"
"Gu Li stayed."
Yue Yan said lightly, without any idea of inquiry.
Su Li didn't give up, but she didn't give her the wrong guidance, she nodded in agreement, but she thought in her heart that she still had to send someone to Gu Ji to investigate.
Even if Gu Zhi still had a little friendship with Yue Yan in his heart, Su Li would firmly interrupt Zhang Zhizhi's thoughts, lest Gu Zhi delay Zhang Zhizhi's life.
Chu Huai'an didn't go home for lunch, Su Li and Yue Yan took Chu Gua to eat, took a nap, and Chu Huai'an came back from outside in the evening.
He didn't know what he was doing outside, his face was cold, and he looked at the cold air exuding from his body from a distance, as if he was going to kill someone, and when he got closer, Su Li smelled the smell of incense on his body.
He doesn't usually like to use this.
Su Li sniffed, a little unhappy.
As soon as he saw Su Li, Chu Huai'an's face softened, and regardless of Yue Yan's presence, he stretched out his hand to cover her lower abdomen: "How do you feel today?" Does it still hurt? ”
“……”
Su Li blushed, and the depression that just came up disappeared without a trace, and slapped his hand down: "It doesn't hurt." ”
Chu Huai'an scooped her into his arms and asked her carefully what she had eaten today, whether she had drunk uterine warming medicine, like taking care of a child who had no ability to take care of herself, Su Li replied patiently, and seeing that he seemed to have endless questions, he took the initiative to interrupt: "I have something to tell you." ”
Chu Huai'an was silent, and seeing that Yue Yan was still beside him and hadn't left, he knew what should have happened today, and motioned to Su Li to speak with his eyes.
Su Li was afraid of frightening Chu Huai'an, so she first hugged the sleeping Chugua in front of him and pointed the Chugua intact little finger to him.
With just one glance, Chu Huai'an's eyes became dark and dark, and Su Li pointed to his nose again, pretending to laugh easily: "My credit, amazing, right?" ”
Chu Huai'an's face was gloomy, and he grabbed Su Li's hand for a while and looked carefully: "Where did you cut it?" ”
“……”
Master Hou, what eyeliner did you put in the house? Actually know what's going on??
"No ......" Su Li wanted to deny it, but Chu Huaian directly raised his eyes and looked at Yue Yan: "You say!" ”
His eyes were murderous, and he was shocked to see it, Yue Yan subconsciously took a step back: "The index finger of his left hand was cut." ”
"It doesn't hurt?"
Chu Huai'an glared at Su Li and asked, his eyes were a little blamed, Su Li was inexplicably weak-hearted, and replied honestly: "I just think it's amazing, I want to test it." ”
"If you find that your blood can bring people back to life, do you have to stab yourself in the chest to test?" Chu Huai'an asked rhetorically, and his tone was also very heavy, which made Su Li even more weak-hearted, and he could only admit his mistake in a sneering manner: "I'm sorry, I'm worried about you again." ”
Where is he blaming Su Li, he is obviously very worried.
Afraid that the two of them would be in chaos if they cared, Yue Yan hurriedly came out and said the right thing: "The matter that Ah Li's blood has a miraculous effect, we must hide it well, and we can't let others know, so as not to have people with bad intentions ......"
"Someone already knows."
"What?"
Yue Yan and Su Li were both stunned, Chu Huai'an took Chu Gua into his arms, and his movements were a little rude, disturbing Chu Gua, who was sleeping soundly.
Chu Huai'an pinched his face and replied casually: "Before, the news that you used the deceased flower to heal the scar on Ah Li's face was released, and in the past two days, someone has passed on the rebirth flower to take the medicine, and a flower will grow in the center of the eyebrow of the person who uses the medicine, and its blood blends with the deceased flower, which has a miraculous effect on curing diseases." ”
"Who's spreading the rumors?"
Yue Yan asked, his heart tugging, because his angry voice couldn't help but rise.
This rumor is clearly aimed at Su Li, the flower between Su Li's eyebrows only fully bloomed after marriage, she didn't go out at all in the past few days after marriage, and the people who have seen the flower in the center of her eyebrows can count it in a slap, who would spread this kind of words?
"The people who spread the rumors can't open their mouths anymore, and the rumors will fade away in a few days."
Chu Huai'an said calmly, Su Li looked at him in surprise, and suddenly understood that the incense on his body was used to cover up the smell of blood on his body.
He went out today and killed the rumor-monger!
But can this leisurely crowd really be blocked? If someone is cornered, in order to survive, will they really not risk coming to take Su Li's blood?
Su Li felt as if she had smelled a bloody storm that was about to sweep in.
Yue Yan had the same worries as Su Li.
Once this matter is known to the world, Su Li's situation will be very dangerous.
Chu Huai'an grabbed Su Li's hand and tightened it: "Don't worry, if someone who is not afraid of death dares to break into the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, I will make him regret coming to this world!" ”
"Master Hou, you are so fierce, what do I have to be afraid of."
Su Li tilted her head in response, not showing the slightest fear or uneasiness.
For dinner, Su Li still took Chu Gua and Chu Huai'an to accompany Chu Liu's to eat, and Chu Huai'an specially instructed his subordinates to light a lot of candles to illuminate the room very brightly, so that the fluorescence of the flower in Su Li's eyebrows was not obvious.
Chu Liu was very happy, and he kept helping Su Li with vegetables, and he couldn't help but mention the old words, asking Chu Huai'an to toss Su Li less, and Chu Huai'an responded seriously.
Chu Huai'an hadn't been so 'obedient' for too long that Chu Liu glanced at him more, and saw him carefully pick out the fish bones and give a piece of fish meat to Su Li, and his heart was full of emotion.
Yes, this rabbit cub who is made in heaven and earth has been killed in the end.
After sighing with emotion, Chu Liu felt that he should be content again, and he almost broke off the mother-son relationship with his son, and now he can sit and eat with He Meimei, and there is an eldest grandson next to him, although the eldest grandson is different from others, it is also cute in the end, and when Su Li has another child, she can be regarded as a child and grandchild who can enjoy the joy of family around her knees.
After eating, Chu Huaian hugged Chu Gua with one hand and Su Li's waist with the other and walked back.
Chu Gua was sleepy when he was full, and he yawned vigorously on Chu Huai'an's shoulder, which was very cute, Su Li softened his heart and whispered: "The child's name is too casual, and it doesn't sound good when he grows up, so it's better to call him Guagua, and the big name will be another one." ”
Su Li really can't imagine the scene of a teenager who grows into a seven-foot boy being called 'Chugua' in the future, it's too distracting, as the child's mother, she must stop it.
"What do you want to call him?"
"How is Chu Qian? The word followed, hoping that he would have a modest personality and live as he pleased. ”
Su Li's eyes sparkled and asked, this is the first time she has named a child, and she has some different expectations.
After so many ups and downs, her eyes are still pure as before, although this is the flesh and blood left by Su Bangyue, she has no prejudice against this child, but sincerely thinks about this child, hoping that he can live well.
She has a sincere heart, polished for a long time, shining as bright.
is so precious, how can he not be tempted to cherish it?
Chu Huai'an leaned over and kissed her on the lips, and overflowed in a tossing and turning: "Okay, depending on you." ”
He said these three words very gently, which made Su Li's heart curl up, and the corners of her lips rose uncontrollably.
The two returned to the room Chu Gua was already asleep, and the next person placed the small bed he slept on before next to Su Li's bed, and the two were already emotional because of the previous kiss, and they were about to do something like this, when footsteps came hurriedly, and then a deep voice: "Master Hou, Wen Ling, the young lady of the Zhang family, asks to see you!" ”
What is Wen Ling doing so late?
Su Li's eyelids jumped when she thought about it, helped Chu Huai'an tidy up her clothes, and the two went to the side hall together, and as soon as they walked in, Wen Ling ran over and grabbed Su Li's hand with a panicked face: "Ah Li, Su Heng is gone!" ”
"What's going on, you say slowly."
Su Li held Wen Ling's hand to calm her down, and gave Qibao another look and asked her to serve hot tea.
Wen Ling took a sip and calmed down a lot: "After I went back today, I went out of the city to Zhuangzi, and when I came back, it was almost evening, and the people below brought me the paint recipe written by Su Hengxin, I felt that there was a raw material that was a little inappropriate, and I asked someone to find him to discuss, but the people below did not find anyone, and he did not come back until the evening, and I asked people to go to various branches to ask, but there was still no one." ”
"Does he have any friends in Beijing?"
"Nope!" Wen Ling shook his head: "He rarely interacts with people, and besides, half an hour ago, someone handed a letter from him to the house. ”
Wen Ling took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Su Li, Su Li opened it and checked it with Chu Huai'an, Su Heng said in the letter that he suddenly remembered that there was something at home, and he wanted to go to Lizhou to check it, and he would come back in ten days.
He hasn't returned to Lizhou since he regained his memory, why does he suddenly want to go back to Lizhou now?
Su Li was puzzled, Chu Huai'an pursed his lips when he read the letter and didn't speak, and only sent someone to the city guard to ask Su Heng if he had left the city today.
The questioner quickly returned, and the answer was no.
Su Li's brows suddenly twisted, faintly uneasy, when Su Heng left the Hou Mansion today, he said that the pattern of Su Li's eyebrows was very similar to the pattern on the mask of the elder in Lizhou, and at that time his expression was thoughtful, as if he thought of something from this flower, and something happened when he went back, and Su Li had to connect the two things.
Just thinking about it, Su Xun came in from outside, and after getting Chu Huai'an's acquiescence, he said loudly: "Master Hou, Sister, that Miss Lin has been grounded by Jing Zhaoyin for the past few days, and she has never been out of her boudoir. ”
Su Li raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect Chu Huai'an to directly send someone to monitor Lin Yueshuang.
Su Li didn't ask Chu Huai'an about his intentions, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Lin Yueshuang didn't go out, so did the nurse beside her go out?" ”
