Chapter 4 The fickleness of people's hearts

Everyone put their minds on the old man Wu who had just woken up, and the old lady Wu personally served the old man Wu and ate a bowl of noodles.

Mrs. Wu is naturally extremely grateful to Gu Jin, she is usually very generous, and directly took out a piece of broken silver weighing three taels and gave it to Gu Jin for consultation.

When Gu Jin left the Gu family, it was already dusk, the sky was half bright and not dark, and there was still the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon, but the sun had disappeared behind the towering walls of the heavy houses, with a lilac glow like a fairy's shawl, covering the end of the sky, making the beauty of this ancient capital dizzying.

It's just that such a beautiful scenery often appears, so that busy people in the streets and alleys don't bother to take a look at it.

The smoke of every household began to rise, the smell of food wafted in the alleys, there were men carrying water chatting by the well, and children running around with their own simple windmills, as if all the smell of fireworks in the world was condensed at this moment, which made people's hearts warm and sad.

Gu Jin just walked forward with the medicine box, the medicine box was a little pressing, he wanted to carry the medicine box on his back, who knew that at this time, a child suddenly ran from behind him, and suddenly hit Gu Jin, the child fell to the ground, and cried.

Gu Jin was startled, he didn't expect such a change, he hurriedly turned around, and saw a five or six-year-old girl sitting on the ground, wearing a somewhat old water-red dress, with a fat and round face, the little girl was crying with her eyes closed, and her face was snot and tears.

"Oops, I'm so sorry! Where did the fall hurt? Gu Jin said hurriedly, and then squatted down to see if the little girl was injured.

The little girl was actually not injured, although she sat on a buttocks, but it just hurt a little.

After checking up and down, Gu Jin was relieved to see that the little girl was fine, and seeing that the little girl was crying non-stop, Gu Jin took out a purse in his sleeve, opened the purse, and a few pine nuts were poured into Gu Jin's hands.

"If you don't cry, I'll give you candy, okay?" Gu Jin took the pine nut candy and shook it in front of the little girl's eyes, laughing and coaxing.

Hearing that there is candy to eat the little girl really stopped crying, a pair of big eyes still stained with tears moved with the pine nut candy, sugar is a good thing in the eyes of children, usually only during the New Year and the festival will the family buy a little food Thinking of the sweet taste, the little girl's mouth also smashed a few times.

Gu Jin smiled again when he saw this, he stuffed a piece of candy into the little girl's mouth, and reached out to take out a handkerchief to wipe the little girl's crying little face clean. He didn't dislike being dirty, and teased the little girl with candy while wiping it, and the little girl smiled after a while.

"What are you doing? Let go of my sister! A seven or eight-year-old boy rushed over from the mouth of the alley, and when he saw Gu Jin holding the little girl, he shouted at Gu Jin viciously.

"Brother, sugar," the little girl smiled in Gu Jin's arms, and when she saw her brother, she spread out her little hand, and there were a few pine nuts in her little hand that Gu Jin gave her just now, and she said to the little boy like a treasure, her voice was soft and very well-behaved.

Some of the sugar melted, and some of it stuck to the little girl's hand, but the little girl was like offering a treasure.

"Xing'er, didn't you come here for me, didn't you let you not talk to people you don't know? Why are you not obedient at all! The little boy didn't have a happy expression at all after seeing the candy, he glared at Gu Jin again vigilantly, and reprimanded the little girl fiercely.

The little girl pouted, but she still struggled to get out of Gu Jin's arms, Gu Jin took advantage of the situation to put her on the ground, and the little girl ran to the boy's side.

"Fool, one day you were abducted by a kidnapper, and there is a time for you to cry!" The little boy poked the little girl's head hard, glared at Gu Jin again, and saw that Gu Jin didn't mean to come, so he led the aggrieved little girl home.

Gu Jin kept watching the two children walk into the door of the house, and he stood in a daze for a moment before he sighed.

Once her brother also protected her like this, she was still young at that time, her brother and her were twins, the two were the same age, but every time she went out, her brother held her hand, for fear that she would be abducted and sold by a kidnapper.

Yes, he was actually her at that time, her brother's name was Gu Jin at that time, and she was called Gu Ying, her brother was a boy, and she was a daughter.

My brother always screamed at Ying'er, saying that he was going to take the top prize when he grew up, and he would help Ying'er find a good husband to marry in the future, and if the married husband dared to treat her badly, my brother would beat her husband-in-law hard.

At that time, she didn't know what it was to marry, and she didn't know what a husband was, but she knew what a champion was.

The mother said that my brother is smart, and he will definitely be able to take the top prize in the future, glorify his ancestors, and earn a fortune for his mother.

When she said this, her mother's eyes sparkled and her eyes were full of expectation.

Gu Ying was very envious, she also wanted to be a very big official, so she pestered her father and said that she also wanted to take the top prize, and her father laughed after hearing it.

"My family's shadow is also smart, but my daughter's family can't get the champion, it's a pity that you have such a smart little brain, otherwise there must be two champions in our family."

Yes, Gu Ying is really smart, when she was a child, she often read with her brother, and her brother memorized articles that were still difficult, she could retell them vividly after listening to them once, and her brother was very surprised at first, but after a long time, her brother began to be unhappy, and then her brother would pout disdainfully after reciting the article.

"Hmph, what if you can memorize it? It's not a money-losing girl, and in the future, it's going to be around the pot! The elder brother sneered.

At that time, my brother had already passed the Tongsheng exam, and was about to take the next test, everyone praised my brother as a prodigy, the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and his mother was even more spoiled by his brother.

Her brother is no longer the brother who protects her, Gu Ying can even feel that her brother is disgusted with her, disgusted with her intelligence and disgusted with her unforgettable, and gradually Gu Ying also understands her brother's intentions, since then she has only secretly read books, and has never shown a single inch in front of her brother.

People's hearts are fickle, this is the first time Gu Jin understands this word.
