Rain.

An autumn rain and a cold.

Late in the day, the sky wants to rain.

It's not big, but you can really feel that the temperature has dropped a lot.

Night.

Bleak and lonely.

Three oil-paper umbrellas suddenly appeared on the street that had long been empty, and stopped unhurriedly in front of a house deep in the pyloric door.

There was no light inside, and the lantern hanging in front of the door was also dark and lifeless.

From a distance, it looks like a monster that has been lurking in the dark night for a long time, opening its abyssal mouth, waiting for people to obediently come to the door, so as to devour it in one bite.

Qiao Jinxin put away the umbrella, lifted his robe, carefully stepped into the puddle, and together with Gu Weijun, went to the eaves, stretched out his hand to pull it up, and forcefully buttoned the knocker on one side.

The sound of metal knocking was much more penetrating than that of a slap, and it didn't take much effort, and the door suddenly opened, and it was Guifu with a haggard face who poked his head out.

"Lord, grandfather, grandfather? Young lady? ”

Guifu thought he was dazzled, stammered, and a spirit woke up completely.

"Guifu, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you will return the elders of your family's young shopkeeper?"

Qiao Jinxin smiled and teased, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and one foot had completely stepped in.

Guifu was so excited that he even began to drop golden beans, and cried to the two masters aggrievedly about what happened to him.

"During the period when the two of you are away, the entire mansion, up and down, will show the face of our hospital, and even the people who pour the bucket will not come for a few days, I just think that you two are in the den of mountain bandits and will never come back."

Crying and crying, following all the way, Guifu was not idle, and rushed to carry the luggage and baggage on the three of them.

"If you don't give a gong bucket, it's too much, then we won't stink to death in the room!"

"Young lady, don't worry, Xiuyun is not here, all the men in our yard are men, it is easy to go out and relieve yourself, and the house is very clean."

"Get out? Where can I get out? Shouldn't you be around the corner of the rockery in the back...... Ahem"

"Uh, occasionally, occasionally."

was guessed, Guifu was a little embarrassed, and his face flushed with suspicion.

Qiao Jin was speechless.

Thinking that he used to hide in the rockery and steal the snacks that Xiuyun brought back from the street, and now this place, which was once his "secret base" and hid many of his good memories, is estimated to have long become a pickled "filthy place", Qiao Jinxin was sad and angry in his heart.

"Ahem, Guifu, why did you start guarding the porter too?"

Gu Weijun felt that the topic being discussed now was not appropriate, so he hurriedly started again and changed it.

"Oh, your uncle is taking care of the master, it seems that the master has been worried recently, and he can't sleep well all night."

"Master, why don't you go and see the master, seeing that you have returned safely, maybe it will be better."

"Heh, he's worried that he's not out of money, right?"

Qiao Jinxin was not polite, and directly ridiculed each other.

"Let's go and see, I'm going to be safe."

Gu Weijun pulled Qiao Jinxin's sleeves, and there was a request in his eyes.

"Okay, if you have to let me go, I can't guarantee that I will be disrespectful in a while, and I will make him angry again."

"You're so good, you can also collect some points, it's not interesting to be hard to hard."

Qiao Jinxin didn't say anything to refute it, but agreed tacitly.

"Eh, uh, cough, ......cough,

The rain suddenly fell a lot heavier, and it was sloppy, covering up a lot of sounds between heaven and earth, except for the old man's heavy string of coughs.

In the shadow of the window, a rickety body was sitting in a strange posture, with a protruding mandible, as if the whole soul was greedy, absorbing a wisp of "fairy qi" in front of him.

The rain was like a curtain, obscuring all view.

The four of them did not notice anything unusual, and when they came to the front, they only knew that the light was still on and had not been turned off, indicating that the person had not fallen asleep.

"Sir!"

Chang Gui cautiously opened his voice, but the people inside did not respond.

"Sir?"

I raised the volume slightly to call, and it was still the same.

Gu Weijun pushed Chang Gui aside and went into battle in person.

"Dad, my son is back, open the door."

It's not yelling, it's measured and the volume is moderate, if it's not the back of the ears of the people in the room, you can definitely listen to it.

The answer to him was still the sound of rain falling more and more rapidly.

"Daddy? Father! ”

Gu Weijun was close to his ears, he could hear the occasional human voice in the room coughing lightly, and when he was sure that someone was there, he immediately knocked on the door vigorously, "Peng Pengpeng", and it was fruitless for a while, and the door was inserted from the inside in, so he had to bang on the door.

"Knock what?"

Just as he was trying to rush in, the door finally squeaked and opened by itself.

"Daddy?"

It was Old Man Gu who opened the door.

"Coming back?"

Seeing that it was his son, Old Man Gu didn't show any surprise and excitement, everything was very calm.

After opening the door, he sat back down at the table, as if in a trance.

"Dad, your legs don't matter, do you? What about your uncle? ”

Gu Weijun asked tentatively, and had to glance around, only the old man was alone in the house.

"Oh, I'm fine, it's fine, I've used Mr. Xu's miracle medicine, and my legs are much better."

In order to verify his words, Old Man Gu also deliberately stood up happily and took two steps, which was true.

"Then Dad, my son will retreat, it's cold, and you can rest early."

"Ahhh

Old Man Gu's eyes were slightly confused when he looked at everyone, where was the shrewd calculation on weekdays.

Qiao Jinxin was about to say anything more, but at this time, Gu Weijun had pushed out the door by pressing her shoulder, and her eyes were fixed on Old Man Gu, who had been sitting at the table and was still in a daze.

That demeanor, like a marionette whose soul has been hooked, is lifeless.

Gu Weijun also noticed Qiao Jinxin's gaze, but he was more attentive and sharp-eyed, and saw a small handful of paper ashes on the table that had not been completely burned.

The muscles at the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and it was not a smile, indifferent and ruthless.

"Don't you think there's a problem?"

Returning to his yard and changing into dry clothes, Qiao Jinxin mentioned the confusion in his heart.

"What?"

Gu Weijun deliberately added another futon, the rainy night was wet and cold, afraid of the invasion of the cold.

"The old stubbornness is wrong, you see the way he just looked at people, the way he spoke, the whole thing has changed, and it is the same when I see you who haven't come back for a long time, the whole person is wooden."

"He is old, his health is not good, he can't sleep all night at night, his spirit is not good, and his brain is wooden, and his slow reaction is understandable."

"Besides, there have been too many big and small things happening in the house recently, and we haven't been here for a long time, so ah, I said I was coming back a long time ago."

"No, no, no."

Qiao Jinxin bit her lower lip hard, and her intuition told her that there was a big clue to this matter.

"What's wrong, you don't analyze blindly, keep your mind and think about how to deal with it tomorrow, Lord Wise Shenwu Tong."

"Why, so fast? I'm going to the government tomorrow? ”

"Yes, if you don't go to the first seven days, my sister-in-law's ghost won't be able to live in peace on the road."

"I want to bring Qiao'er back first and take her to pick up her mother with me."

"Okay, you can't keep her out of the house."

"But the old stubbornness is there......"

Qiao Jinxin was still afraid that this old man Gu would go through the old accounts again, so Qiao'er might as well continue to stay with Mrs. Mu's safety.

"Don't worry, things are over, Dad is also very angry for a while, and he can't wipe his face, so it's like this, now that everything has calmed down, who would think of this? After all, it's her own granddaughter, what can you really do with her? ”

"That's not necessarily, it was a real fight at the beginning, and I didn't necessarily read it in front of my granddaughter, so I started lightly."

"With me to protect you, don't worry."

Gu Weijun grabbed Qiao Jinxin's little hand and wrapped it between his palms, feeling the cold, and rubbing it for her to keep warm.

"So cold again?"

"It doesn't matter, it's not early, let's go to bed quickly."

In the face of Gu Weijun's gentleness, Qiao Jinxin is still not very accustomed to it, although during this period of suffering, the distance between the two has actually been reduced a lot, and it is not as awkward as before.

"Okay."

The corners of Gu Weijun's mouth were raised, and his eyes were crooked with a smile, and when Qiao Jin lay down in a panic, he extinguished the candle, drove lightly, hugged her waist from behind, and pressed against her back with a satisfied face.

"You, what are you doing? If you want to sleep, sleep well! ”

Of course, Qiao Jinxin was not used to stabbing him in the chest with his elbow again.

"I can't sleep without hugging me."

It's a scoundrel again, and the same cheeky person who doesn't give a chance to refute it, and suddenly falls asleep without knowing whether it's true or not.

With his even exhalation and inhalation, Qiao Jinxin had to sleep, at least he didn't make a fuss tonight.

The two of them were woken up in the morning to the sound of whirring wind outside the window.

The heavy rain overnight, the biting clammy and cold everywhere, or the gray sky, made people feel depressed.

Qiao Jin wanted to get up early and get dressed, as soon as he took off the quilt, he felt the wind, opened the quilt several times, came in and went out, and finally thought about wearing a coat and pants in the quilt.

"You lifted it like this, and the heat ran away."

Gu Weijun, who was still asleep in the bed, was woken up by Qiao Jinxin very early, he didn't get up, just turned sideways, supported his head with one hand, suspended in the air, and looked at what Qiao Jinxin was doing.

"But it's cold, the clothes are cold, I don't want to go down and wear them."

"Then you lie down and stay warm first, and I'll come."

"Huh?"

Qiao Jinxin didn't know what it meant.

couldn't help but say, Gu Weijun pressed Qiao Jinxin's shoulder again, let her lie down, tuck the quilt for her, sit up by herself, and hold all the things that Qiao Jinxin brought on the quilt in his arms at once.

"Eh, what are you doing with my underwear, you rascal!"

Seeing Gu Weijun's movements, Qiao Jinxin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he sat up straight all of a sudden, slashing his hand to grab it.

"Don't you think you're dressed cold? I'll give you warmth! ”

Gu Weijun hugged him tighter, dodged with a hippie smile, turned his back, and just didn't give it.

"Gu Weijun, don't go too far, hurry up and give it back to me!"

Qiao Jinxin coldly pointed at Gu Weijun, who was looking at her, and warned.

"What's the hurry, I'll give it to you as soon as it's covered!"

Gu Weijun suddenly found the fun of teasing Qiao Jinxin, but he didn't give it.

In a fit of anger, Qiao Jinxin didn't care whether it was cold or not, he directly lifted the futon, kicked under the bed with his feet, and grabbed it.

So, for some reason, Xiuyun, who pushed open the door and brought toiletry water, saw her well-informed young lady riding like this early in the morning, straddle the young shopkeeper, and the bedding had already been kicked out, both of them were disheveled, their hair was messy, and their chests were undulating.

As soon as he saw this posture, Xiuyun immediately withdrew, almost stepped on it, and then was about to send Chang Gui for breakfast.

"Can't get in!"

Xiuyun raised her arms and flushed with a serious flush.

"Huh? Why? ”

"The young lady and the young shopkeeper are doing business!"

"What's the matter?"

Chang Gui looked confused.

"Listen to it yourself."

Xiuyun blushed and stepped aside.

Inside, Qiao Jinxin and Gu Weijun continued to fight.

She had already grasped a lot of the initiative, and she pinched Gu Weijun's earlobe in her hand.

"Gu Weijun! Hurry up! ”

"Ahh

Chang Gui is a thief, with a clear look.

"The young lady is really amazing!"
