It's a pity that Yuan Rui was still a step late, and the wooden bowl that fell to the ground was empty, and he couldn't find even a drop of water. He Gu smiled: "The old slave is hiding here, just to prevent the queen mother from embarrassing, since the queen mother has gone immortal, what is the point of the old slave's move?" Another mouthful of black blood spilled out, "A person is about to die, his words are also good, the old slave is all here, believe it or not, His Highness decides for himself." After insisting on saying this, he finally couldn't catch it in one breath, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up again.

Yuan Rui couldn't accept that Aunt He died at this time, and shook her body like crazy: "Wake up! Aunt He, wake up! He still had too many questions to ask in his heart, but He Gu suddenly committed suicide at this time, telling him how to be willing.

"If you don't die early, you won't die later, but when you talk about key places, you die! Even if the people of the Night Wolf Alliance die, it is not worrying! Yuan Ye hated and hated.

"Everyone is dead, why don't His Royal Highness the King of Puyang accumulate some virtue!" Shangguan Qian turned his head and glared at Yuan Ye, so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, took two steps back, and didn't dare to say another word. Fortunately, Shangguan Qian's attention at this moment immediately shifted to Yuan Rui, and Yuan Ye relieved himself and returned to normal.

Seeing that Yuan Rui was still trying to wake up He Gu, Shangguan Qian picked him up vigorously, letting the weight of his whole person hang on his arm, and persuaded: "Your Highness! She's dead! ”

Yuan Ye couldn't help but whisper again: "Yes, Your Highness, it's better to have fewer corpses in the Night Wolf Alliance!" ”

After a long time, Yuan Rui finally calmed down, sighed and looked at Shangguan Qian and Yuan Ye: "Come on!" Bury the man! ”

Yuan Ye pointed to himself in disbelief and pointed at He Gu's corpse: "Isn't it? We? Bury her? ”

Yuan Rui: "Any questions?" ”

Looking at Yuan Rui and Shangguan Qian, who had already begun to look for tools and were busy, Yuan Ye had to whisper reluctantly: "No...... No problem......" But he also knew that his answer didn't matter at the moment, because no one cared whether he wanted to or not.

Because it took a lot of time to bury He Gu, when the three of them went down the mountain and saw people again, it was already a colorful sunset, and the remnant sun was like blood. Yuan Rui proposed to find a private house to spend the night, and Yuan Ye looked incredulous when he heard this: "Isn't it, Your Highness?" With such an identity, we actually have to spend the night in people's homes? ”

Yuan Rui didn't refute, but said lightly: "If the king of Puyang doesn't want to, please take care of yourself, but this king kindly reminded the king of Puyang, it is not early at the moment, and when the king of Puyang rushes to the town, I am afraid that the sky will be almost dawn!" ”

Shangguan Qian also couldn't get used to Yuanye's superior style, and said sarcastically: "Fang is just going up the mountain, and he proposed to stay in He Gu's thatched hut for one night, and then leave early tomorrow morning, it is His Royal Highness the King of Puyang, you strongly oppose it, and now Your Royal Highness, you don't want to stay in the house, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Puyang is much more expensive than our Royal Highness!" ”

Yuan Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart, how could the house of the Night Wolf League be inhabited? In that case, it's better to have a private house! Hum! If it weren't for the fact that there was nowhere else to go, if it weren't for Yuan Rui who hadn't made up his mind to do something, if it weren't for the fact that this Shangguan was ridiculously strong...... After silently counting countless "if not" in his heart, he finally put on a smile: "The house is very good!" Pretty good! Isn't it the right thing for us and others in high positions to experience the sufferings of the people? ”

Shangguan Qian's face showed disdain, he snorted lightly from his nostrils, turned around and knocked on the door of a courtyard that seemed to be barely passable.

The door was opened by an old woman with a thin figure, a withered face, and a slightly rickety body. Maybe it was because he hadn't seen outsiders in the village for a long time, and the old man's expression was slightly surprised.

Yuan Rui was worried that Shangguan Qian's rude words would scare the old man, so he hurriedly stepped forward and put on a smiling face: "Old man, we are passers-by from your village, and it is not early, I wonder if you can ask the old man to make it convenient and stay with us for a night?" ”

The old man nodded slightly: "The three of you haven't eaten yet, have you?" My daughter-in-law is preparing dinner, so let's eat some together if you don't dislike it! ”

Yuan Rui: "Then what's embarrassing?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, just add three more pairs of chopsticks!" I'm afraid that the vulgar food in the mountains and wilderness can't get into the eyes of the three sons! ”

The three of them followed the old man into the courtyard, the house was not big, but strangely it was artificially divided into two relatively independent areas on the left and right, two stove rooms, two firewood rooms, and even the lobby in the middle was forcibly divided into two rooms. The old man led the three of them to the left, and on the right side of the lobby, a mother and son were enjoying dinner.

Seeing the guests coming, the mother got up and asked the old man, "Mother, who are these distinguished guests?" ”

Yuan Rui gave a slight salute: "We are from Luoyang, and we have delayed our trip due to some things on the way back to Beijing, so we want to take advantage of this place to deal with it for one night, rest assured, we can give silver!" Speaking of this, his face showed doubt, "Just now the old man said that you haven't eaten yet......"

The old man coughed lightly: "I'm afraid it's going to make the guests laugh, and our old Qu family doesn't know if they did too much evil in their previous life, the two daughters-in-law Zhu and Kong married by this brother are like enemies, and they don't even want to sit together for a meal!" I'm an old woman who has to live in the East House with the eldest Zhu family for a month, and the second Kong family in the West House for a month......"

Zhu's expression was slightly embarrassed: "Mother! What to do in front of the guests, if it weren't for the second family's care, always taking advantage of us, we wouldn't be in this position today! ”

The old man glanced at her: "You're no better!" ”

Yuan Rui was secretly amused in his heart, it turned out that this kind of thing was not only in the royal family, but also so common among the people, and asked the old man: "What about your two sons?" Don't you come out and do something? ”

mentioned his sons, and the old man's resentment deepened: "Don't mention these two things who are afraid of their wives, aren't they being recruited by the imperial court to be soldiers in the war now!" But even if they're at home, it's not going to be of any use! The guests sat down for a while, and the old man went to inform the Westinghouse to prepare more meals. He shook his head and sighed and went out.

When the meal came up later, Zhu, who had been talking happily with Yuan Rui, immediately got up and said that he was taking his son out for a walk after dinner. Yuan Rui couldn't help but secretly marvel, these two concubines obviously live under the same roof, but the depth of the gap has reached a breathtaking point, why live so hard!

As if he deliberately avoided Yuan Ye and did not give him the opportunity to continue lobbying him, Yuan Rui had been chatting with Kong Shi after the meal. In fact, the two daughters-in-law of this Qu family are the kind of people who are very cute, maybe because their personalities are very strong, and they always feel that the other party has got more benefits at home, so they are dissatisfied, and they will form such an incompatible situation today.

While the conversation was rising, the old family's child suddenly burst in in with a panicked look, shouting as he ran: "Grandma! Grandmother! Mother was bitten by a poisonous snake! ”

Hearing this, Kong stood up and took the child's hand: "Ah Gua! Where's your mother? Bring your aunt over and have a look! ”

Yuan Rui also felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly greeted Shangguan Qian: "Senior, let's go and have a look together!" ”

On the side of the avenue not far from Qu's house, Zhu was lying on the ground, looking at Kong Shi, who was sucking on her calf wound, with tears on his face: "Second family, you don't care about me!" Ah Gua is still young, his father is on the battlefield and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and I have to trouble you to take good care of him for me in the future, I didn't do it right before, you must not be angry with the child......"

Kong spat out a mouthful of blood sucked from Zhu's wound: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have time to take care of the children for your family!" Bring your own! ”

Yuan Rui on the side nudged Kong's shoulder in a very unreasonable manner: "Second sister-in-law Qu, the blood color of the wound is bright red, the snake that bit Sister-in-law Qu should not be poisonous......

"What?" Both women shouted at the same time. Kong pushed Zhu away: "It's not poisonous, pretending to be pitiful here!" ”

Zhu Shi also seemed to regain his strength all of a sudden, tried to stand up, kicked and injured his leg: "It seems that there is no big problem...... blushing and holding back for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say to Kong: "The second one, thank you...... Thank...... Thank you! ”

"Who is rare and thank you!" Kong Shi turned to leave, but she didn't notice it herself, and like Zhu, her face was also flushed.

Early the next morning, Yuan Rui and his entourage bid farewell to the Qu family and continued to hurry, and when parting, the old lady politely said: "The greeting is not good!" Poor greetings! ”

Yuan Rui: "Where?" It's our pleasure to stay with you again! Then he came to Kong's side, "Second sister-in-law Qu, I don't know if I can ask you a question?" Yesterday, when you heard that Sister-in-law Qu was bitten by a poisonous snake, why did you not hesitate to rush to suck the wound for her, isn't your relationship bad? ”

Kong Shi thought for a while: "It's all a family, do you want to watch her die?" ”

A satisfied smile appeared on Yuan Rui's face: "Thank you!" He led Shangguan Qian, who also smiled heartily, and Yuan Ye, who looked impatient, to leave.

Kong Shi looked at the three Yuan Rui who had turned into three black spots in the distance in the dust, frowned and said to himself, "Thank me for what? ”
