95 Monk (2nd Watch)
The little maid and the grandmother brought back the ashes after burning with a handkerchief and brought them to Gu Jinyu.
The freshly burned paper ash could see a little handwriting, but it was only a little, just enough for Gu Jinyu to identify that it was her question, but she couldn't spell out the complete solution process.
Of course, Gu Jinyu would not guess that it was Xiao Jingkong who burned it all out, and thought that he accidentally left the question paper in the paper money, causing it to be burned along with the paper money.
Thinking of this, her heart hurt, and she wanted to vomit blood and faint on the spot!
--
After eating, it was still early, and Gu Jiao planned to go to the mountain she bought for a walk.
She had been walking around the mountain lately, and in addition to picking herbs and mushrooms, she also wrote down the topography of the entire mountain, and now she was able to construct a topographic map of the entire mountain with only one last bit left.
When Xiao Jingkong heard that she was going up the mountain, he tilted his head and asked her, "Can I go with Jiaojiao?" ”
Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Do you want to go back and see your master and brothers?" ”
Mostly want to stay with you, but it's okay too.
Xiao Jingkong jumped down from the stool and said to Gu Jiao: "Then I'll go and see them." ”
This time I went to a place quite close to the temple, which was actually quite a ride.
Gu Jiao carried a small back basket by herself, and Xiao Jingkong looked envious, so Gu Jiao made him a small back basket as well.
The small basket contained the gifts he brought to his friends.
There are vegetarian meatballs, fried by Gu Jiao.
There is osmanthus cake, which Gu Jiao bought.
There are wild fruits, picked by Gu Jiao.
The small basket of the same style as Gu Jiao was on the back of the small clearance, and he was very angry, so he went to the old lady's house to show off, and then ran next door to show off in front of Xue Ningxiang and the dog baby.
Then the siblings went up the mountain.
Don't look at Xiao Qingkong's young age and small size, but he can endure hardships than most children, and he insisted on walking down the road so far as to the other side of the mountain.
When he went up the mountain, he ran forward, Gu Jiao followed him unhurriedly, and when he was halfway up the mountain, he finally ran out of strength, collapsed on the steps, and became a small salted fish
Gu Jiao hugged the little salted fish and the clear space up the mountain.
At the gate of the temple, Xiao Jingkong, who had recovered his strength, waved at Gu Jiao: "Jiaojiao, go get busy, I'll go find Jingfan, Jingxin and Jingshan by myself!" ”
"Hmm." Gu Jiao watched Xiao Jingkong enter the temple, greeted a monk eagerly, and called Senior Brother Jingchen, so she went to measure her mountain with confidence.
It cost a lot of money to buy this mountain, but the more Gu Jiao walked a few times, the more she felt that it was worth buying, I don't know how many wild medicinal herbs and beasts were all over the mountain, all of them were hers.
Probably today's luck is really good, she dug up two ginseng plants on the way, both of which are not very big ginseng, and the stewed chicken soup is enough.
Somehow, Gu Jiao suddenly remembered the trap she had laid in the forest, but no one should be so unlucky this time.
As soon as the thought flashed, there was movement in the woods, as if something had really fallen.
There was a trap she had set.
"It's not that coincidental......"
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows.
Maybe it's a big bug?
A wolf will do.
Gu Jiao was full of anticipation to harvest her prey, and walked there to take a look.
Belch...... This time it's a person again.
Gu Jiao was a little confused.
What she made was a trap used to catch beasts, why was it always a human being who was tricked?
But this time it seems that it is not an ordinary person, but a monk.
He was wearing a gray-white monk's robe, his figure was long, he didn't know what he was holding in his arms, and the wrist bone exposed outside the cuffs was as white as jade.
Xu heard the movement on the ground, he raised his head, and a face that did not fall into the world broke into Gu Jiao's sight.
This monk has a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes, and there is a tear mole under his right eye, I can't tell how old he is, in short, he is very young.
Gu Jiao secretly sighed, this world is ...... Is even a monk so beautiful? Could it be that the monsters in the forest have become spirits and have come to charm them, the little women of good families?
Gu Jiao looked at him vigilantly.
He hooked his thin red lips and smiled slightly: "This little benefactor, can you pull the poor monk up?" ”
The sound is also very good!
There is a kind of ethereal spirit like a god.
Gu Jiao thought about it, but still took out the rope in the back basket and dragged him up.
Then Gu Jiao found a white and tender little hare in his arms, and in the trap where he had just stayed, there was still the corpse of a poisonous snake.
Gu Jiao looked at the poisonous snake, then at the little rabbit in his arms, and said, "Did you fall into the trap to save this little rabbit?" ”
"Hmm." He smiled and nodded.
He smiled very gently, but it was not Yao's maternal gentleness, but the gentleness that made people dizzy and blushing.
It's a pity that Gu Jiao is not shy by nature.
Because he was good-looking, Gu Jiao looked at it twice, but Gu Jiao's heart was actually very calm.
When Gu Jiao heard him say this, she sighed: "You are quite good......
Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party pull out his dagger and kill the hare with one sword.
Gu Jiao: "......"
After the monk killed the hare, he asked Gu Jiao for some water, washed the rabbit, and raised a bonfire on the spot to start grilling the rabbit meat.
Gu Jiao was a little confused.
Killing and eating meat, isn't this a fake monk?
"Do you want it?" He cut off the fattest piece of rabbit meat, skewered it with a dagger and handed it to Gu Jiao, "Those who see it have a share." ”
Gu Jiao: Shouldn't I have saved you, so are you thanking me well?
Gu Jiao didn't eat much for lunch, and she was really a little hungry at this time, so she took the rabbit meat and took a bite.
It's not unpleasant, it's not delicious, it's a bit of a waste of ingredients.
"Ah, I forgot to put salt." The monk patted his head, took out a small bamboo tube from his wide sleeve, pulled off the lid, and sprinkled salt on the rabbit meat.
"It should be much better now." He cut another piece and handed it to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao took the rabbit meat, and after the salt, it tasted a lot more delicious, and she asked, "You saved it just to eat it?" ”
The monk said as a matter of course: "Otherwise? ”
The corners of Gu Jiao's mouth twitched, and she said in her heart, which monk in the temple is this? Why have you never seen it yourself?
The monk pointed to the trap on the side: "Do you eat snake meat?" If you want to eat it, go and pick it up. ”
Gu Jiao said: "Why don't you fish yourself?" ”
The monk sighed, "I'm afraid. ”
Gu Jiao said strangely: "I'm afraid you will beat it to death." ”
"Not killed." The monk paused and corrected her, "It's bitten." ”
Gu Jiao: "......"
"Why are you biting it?"
"It bites me first!" After the monk finished speaking solemnly, he pulled up his trouser leg on the left side, revealing his calf, which was already swollen like a pig's trotters.
Gu Jiao was simply dumbfounded.
If the snake bites you, you bite the snake, what kind of operation is this?
The snake estimated that he never expected to be bitten to death by someone one day!
And you've been bitten like this by a snake, and you're still in the mood to eat roast rabbits? Don't you know you're about to die?
The monk seemed to see Gu Jiao's thoughts, and sighed: "I know." ”
After that, he fell to the ground with a bang, spitting black blood in his mouth, unconscious!
Gu Jiao: "......"
What kind of strange monk is this?!
What bit him was a highly venomous silver krait, and fortunately, Gu Jiao's small medicine box contained the silver snake's antivenom.
Antivenom is a horse serum preparation that contains allogeneic proteins that can easily cause allergies.
Time was pressing, Gu Jiao gave up the desensitization injection, and gave him two injections of anti-allergy drugs painfully.
When the monk woke up, he was no longer on the lawn, and he found himself sitting under a large tree, and the sky was dacking and raining.
He glanced at Gu Jiao beside him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Spring Ledo, don't you know if you can't take shelter from the rain under the tree?" ”
Gu Jiao glanced at him casually and said, "People who can calmly roast rabbits after being bitten by a snake, I am not afraid of death." ”
The monk choked and coughed lightly: "Didn't I think I couldn't live, so I had to be a full ghost?" Saying...... You saved me? ”
He pulled open his trouser leg and looked at it, the wound was bandaged and medicated, the pain was basically gone, and the edema was gone.
"You can even cure snake venom, are you a master of the world?" He said quirkily.
Gu Jiao didn't answer his words, just sat aside and quietly avoided the rain.
Probably feeling that he owed two favors to others in a row, the monk was embarrassed, smiled curtly, and said, "Your surname? ”
"Gu." Gu Jiao said, her eyes didn't look at him, and she kept looking at the heavy rain that kept falling.
The monk smiled: "The poor monk knows a little physiognomy, and he can see a palm for Gu Shizhu." ”
"No, you don't." Gu Jiao lightly refused.
A monk who looks so handsome is generally something that no woman can refuse, and Gu Jiao is the first.
The monk couldn't help but be curious, and looked at her twice, Gu Jiao had already put on a hat, and she couldn't see her face clearly, leaving only a delicate chin.
The monk hooked his lips and was about to withdraw his gaze, but suddenly saw a bronze card playing with Gu Jiao's hand.
He raised his eyebrows in confusion and said, "The girl turned out to be from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." ”
"What?" Gu Jiao turned her face.
The monk's gaze swept over the birthmark on the left side of her face, and without showing the slightest abnormality, he said, "The token in your hand." ”
Gu Jiao looked at the token, and then looked at him: "Do you know?" ”
The monk hooked his lips and smiled, stretched out a pair of slender legs, raised one arm to pill behind his head, leaned against the big tree behind him, looked at the dense rain and said, "Yes, the poor monk knows." ”
"Tell me about it." Gu Jiao said.
The monk glanced at Gu Jiao playfully: "So you don't know each other?" So how did you get this token? ”
"Picked it up." Gu Jiao said.
"Whew." The monk's expression became more and more playful, and the good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed into two crescents, like full of spring water and autumn waves, full of charm, "Then you are really lucky, you can also pick up such a valuable thing." ”
As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze from Gu Jiao, and continued to look at the heavy rain that would stop at some point: "Xuanping Marquis Mansion, hundreds of years of hairpin family, relatives of the emperor, a tyrant in the capital, a veteran of the three dynasties, a queen, what do Gu Shizhu want to hear?" ”
Gu Jiao didn't ask him why a monk in the deep mountains could understand the situation in the capital, but said, "It's okay." ”
The monk smiled and said: "That is, I want to hear it, but unfortunately I can't finish talking about the affairs of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion for three days and three nights. ”
Gu Jiao thought for a while: "People." ”
"Master or subordinate?"
"Whatever you want."
The monk smiled even deeper: "It's obvious that you are inquiring about the news, why do you follow me?" Anyway, I don't know if you really inquire about the next person, so let's start with Xuanping Hou. This marquis position is hereditary from the old marquis, Xuanping Marquis is the eldest son in the family, and he is also the son-in-law, and it is logical to inherit the family business, there is nothing to say. ”
"He has a sister-in-law, a younger brother, the younger sister is the current queen, and the younger brother is the general Weiyuan. Ah, I forgot to mention that he also married Princess Xinyang. He had a son with Princess Xinyang, which was really an amazing son, but unfortunately died young. ”
"Is that all there are?" Gu Jiao asked.
"There are a few concubines, which is not enough." The monk said, looking at Gu Jiao with a smile again, and this time, there was a hint of warning in his smile, "Girl, you can pick up this token as soon as you pick it up, don't take it out and show it around, it's easy to attract death." Also, don't get involved with the people of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, you will also get killed. ”
He became solemn, and even changed his title.
Gu Jiao didn't pay attention to his warning, she was never a person who left the risk to others to judge.
It's just that this Xuanping Marquis Mansion sounds very powerful, how can Xiao Liulang have the token of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion on his body? What is his relationship with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion?
"Then what if it......" Gu Jiao was halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something, turned her head to look, and found that the monk who was still chattering beside her suddenly disappeared.
What's even more bizarre is that Gu Jiao didn't know when he left.
Gu Jiao has been in the other world for so long, and this time she really met a master.
Gu Jiao looked at the place where the monk had just sit, and there was a word written with his finger there: Xiao.
Gu Jiao pondered: "Xuanping Marquis Mansion...... Surname Xiao? ”
Xiao Liulang is also surnamed Xiao, why is it so coincidental?
