32 Hugs
Gu Jiao had never shared a bed with anyone in her previous life, not even her female roommate, so she thought she would be a little unable to sleep, but she fell asleep in that reassuring breath after a while.
She went to see Zhou Gong, but Xiao Liulang didn't fall asleep so quickly.
He looked at Gu Jiao lying beside him, the thin snow light fell on her face through the window paper, she was lying on her side, and the half of her face with the birthmark was pressed underneath.
She is probably really afraid of the cold, her little face is red from the cold, her eyelashes are very long, her facial features are exquisite, if there is no birthmark, this should be a beautiful little girl.
Inexplicably, a trace of regret flashed in Xiao Liulang's heart.
But soon, he frowned again, erasing this emotion from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Liulang slept very well, almost motionless all night.
Gu Jiao is also quite well-behaved, except for leaning on Xiao Liulang to get closer and closer, hugging Xiao Liulang with his hands and feet, and his little head resting on Xiao Liulang's shoulder, there is really nothing else.
Gu Jiao slept until dawn, and when she woke up, Xiao Liulang had already gotten up and was sitting by the window reading a book.
The sky light shines through the window paper, reflecting his handsome face like jade, I don't know if it is Gu Jiao's illusion, I feel that he seems to be a little blushing.
"You're awake." Xiao Liulang greeted Gu Jiao seriously, but his eyes did not look at Gu Jiao on the bed.
"Well, wake up, early." Gu Jiao rubbed her eyes and yawned, she had just woken up, and she was still in a daze, unconsciously with a lazy little milk sound.
Early in the morning, who can stand this for a normal man?
Xiao Liulang only felt that his chest was rising, and he almost stood up: "I'll go buy breakfast!" ”
After that, he opened the door and went out, leaving Gu Jiao scratching her little head in a daze.
The snow stopped in the middle of the night, and the sun was particularly good today.
Because the academy was closed today, after breakfast, the two hired a mule cart to return to the village.
When passing by the entrance of the village, I heard the villagers who were fetching water by the ancient well discuss: Yesterday it snowed suddenly, and several people who returned to the village at night fell and were injured, and there were mule carts in the next village that overturned into the ditch, and I heard that people had lost half their lives.
Xiao Liulang thought of the fact that he had to hire a car to go back to the village last night, and if she hadn't offered to stay at the inn for one night, they might have suffered an accident.
Xiao Liulang didn't know what to say.
After all...... This is the third time she has avoided it.
The two went home.
The old lady got up and was sitting in the hall sulking.
Yesterday, Gu Jiao thought that the matter would end early, and she and Xiao Liulang would be able to rush back before the snow, so they only left a lunch in the pot, but they didn't expect the masters of the academy to come to the trouble so much, pestering Xiao Liulang to ask about the heavy snowfall.
In order to avoid the bad luck in her dream, she could only drag Xiao Liulang to stay in the town.
The old lady doesn't know how to burn the fire, she nibbled on cold steamed buns last night, and she nibbled on cold steamed buns this morning, and her teeth are almost gone!
Gu Jiao was quite puzzled, you said that you are a poor old lady, why don't you burn a fire? Are you an old lady from a big family, or a queen mother?
Gu Jiao silently took out a packet of candied fruit and a box of osmanthus cakes: "You are allowed to eat two more today." ”
Old Lady: "No! Five! ”
Gu Jiao: "Three." ”
Old lady: "Deal!" ”
The old lady held the candied fruit and osmanthus cake, turned her back, and began to eat it with a sigh.
The news of Gu Dashun and Zhou's Liu's arrest had already spread in the village, and even the next village had come to see the excitement, and they didn't know what this matter had to do with Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao for the time being, so they all went to the Gu family's old house to inquire about the news.
At noon, the two catchers came to the door, they were looking for Gu Jiao.
It turned out that after Zhou and Liu were arrested and taken to the yamen, they honestly confessed the origin of the silver under severe interrogation: it fell from the person who fought with the little fool, and they became greedy for a while, so they returned to the village with the silver before the little fool came back.
"Ah, I see, I said why I didn't see the two aunts when I went back." Gu Jiao said with a sudden realization.
Catch quickly looked at him: "Why are you fighting?" ”
Gu Jiao said coldly: "He hit me!" Bully me! And scold me! ”
I was hit and scolded, so I chased people with a sickle and cut down a few streets, girl, you are a hero.
If someone else does this, the catchers are only afraid that they will be suspicious, but they have learned from the Zhou family and the Liu family that Gu Jiao is a fool, and the fool's behavior cannot be judged by common sense.
Therefore, even if she arrived here, no one suspected that Gu Jiao deliberately squatted there and waited for the rabbit, and deliberately drove the thieves away, leaving the silver for the Zhou family and the two to covet. Even Zhou and Liu thought it was just an accident.
Only Xiao Liulang faintly felt that everything was really too coincidental.
"That person could be the thief, what happened to him?" Catch the fast track.
"He ran away." Gu Jiao spread her hands.
"Do you remember what he looked like?" Caught quickly and asked again.
"He's ...... Hmm......" Gu Jiao reminisced while gesturing, and the other catcher was a painter from the Yamen, who drew the appearance of a thief, "Is that so?" ”
"Well...... this" Gu Jiao frowned.
At this time, Xiao Liulang walked out with a portrait.
Gu Jiao's eyes lit up: "That's right!" That's the man! ”
Catch Kuai exchanged an embarrassing little look with the painter, and the dignified yamen painter suddenly couldn't draw a student, and the feeling of being smashed was wooden?
After getting the portrait, Yamen quickly solved the case.
However, Zhou and Liu were not immediately released by the Yamen, because when the Yamen came to the Gu family and asked them where the money came from, they swore that they sold mountain goods themselves.
The huge amount, coupled with the lying and refusal to pay, properly constituted the crime of embezzlement, and one person was fined 20 taels of silver and beaten 30 boards.
As for Gu Dashun, his mother and second aunt did such ugly things, and the family style was not right, and he was also nailed to the pillar of shame.
