Chapter 21: Late at Night, Please

Everyone returned to the ancient village, and Zhu Teng was waiting in front of the Zuo Qi Gate. Seeing that Zhu Yougu and Zuo Chu came back one after another, he breathed a long sigh of relief and stepped forward: "I'm still worried about whether my beloved daughter will cause Mr. Chu's trouble, it seems that I am too worried." ”

Zhu Teng was still a spirited person yesterday, and after this day, the vicissitudes of life were obvious. Zuo Chu didn't speak, he followed and stepped forward, "We didn't use coaxing her, she couldn't see you, so she kept trembling." I'll take care of your daughter when I rest tonight, and I'll send someone to pick her up when my beloved daughter falls asleep, okay?" ”

Zuo Chu suppressed the nameless fire, flicked his sleeves with the hand slightly in front of him, stopped, and said coldly: "Saving your daughter a while ago was just a gesture, and other things have nothing to do with Zuo. Eucalyptus, send people away! ”

Xu Yu Ying quickly sent someone to take Zhu Yougu away, who cares if she is weak at the moment.

"Zuo promised you to pay half a year's rent to Guzhai for free, and also said that it was three times the amount of silver taels you levied." He didn't want Zhu Teng to follow up the room, so he stopped at the door and finished speaking: "If Zuo is not mistaken, the main price of the village that day is four taels of silver for a month's rent for a room." Zuo has a total of 319 people, and there are 68 shared rooms, and I will give you 500 taels of gold for half a year. I hope that after the owner of the village accepts it, don't be entangled afterwards. After saying that, I thanked the guest and went back to my room.

Zhu Teng digested the five hundred taels of gold on the spot. His beard trembled with excitement.

Here Zuo Qi entered the room, and Shi Qiao came in with Fengxue and a Gu medicine in his hand.

"The owner of the village, my subordinates have found out, this is a sleeping killing Gu, which is urging people to sleep. The medicinal juice that Lu Mai brought in the morning was this kind of Gu medicine. Plus, that's still ...... Poison Gu. ”

"What does Poison Gu mean?"

"Sleep Killing Gu, as the name suggests, can strongly induce people to sleep. is also, it is also a murderous Gu. ”

Lumai couldn't wait to kick it up: "When did you grind and chirp?" Let's make it clear! Shi Qiao didn't care about Lu Mai's actions, and continued: "I asked some people, and they all said that their ancient village is now infertile. After this Gu is ingested, it forcibly invades the skull, making people feel tired immediately and fall asleep quickly. It is said that it is falling asleep, but it is better to say that it is fainting people. Long-term use will greatly reduce a person's life. Those who took it in previous years were three or four years fast, and seven or eight years at slower, and they would die. ”

Zuo Yu took the Gu medicine and looked at it, "Soon, three or four years?" ”

It's been almost a year and a half since she's been back.

He was in a trance, and suddenly he felt a noise in his ears: the sound of wind, fire, exclamations, laughter......

and the person in his arms who was lost and recovered, but he heard Huan Qi stumbling and shouting: "Jinyuan fire, Miss Zhu was burned to the bones......"

She also laughed and scolded wildly, and also told him obediently that she "can stand up". In the end, he chose to end everything in the lie of the fire.

His world was noisy at the moment, and the past was churning in his mind, making him frantic. After a long time, he got up and hurried to the southwest corner. Xu Yuying didn't know where he was going for a while, so he had to keep up.

Zuo Chu went straight to Qiu Shui's house. At that time, Qiu Shui had not yet returned, only Qiu Mu was there.

The first time I knocked on the door without respecting the number of courtesies, the movement of pushing the door into the house startled the mother who was sitting on the bed.

After the mother was frightened, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she saw the person coming.

He walked around the boiler, walked straight over, his eyes clear, and knelt down in the surprise of his mother. Qiu's mother wanted to get up and help, but there was nothing she could do.

Raising his head to look at her, Zuo Chu resolutely said: "The younger generation is not a person who deceives the world and steals fame, but the fact of pretending to be blind is true. I haven't seen you facelessly, but I have to pass you after all. Zhu Yi calls you 'A-Niang', and the younger generation should also call you 'A-Niang'. I hope you will forgive me for the juniors who deceived everyone to be blind, and the juniors," he said very quickly, as if he was afraid of being interrupted and not recognized: "The juniors will accompany her in the future!" It doesn't matter who stops it. I can't talk to you for a long time today, so I'll ask for guilt another day. ”

After saying that, he bowed and got up and went out.

Before the mother had time to speak, she only felt that people were coming and going like the wind.

Leave her alone to digest Fang Cai's words.

Zuo Chu went back to the room and fetched the big bag, and instructed his men to wait for dawn to start carrying their bags.

Qiu Shui stayed at the clothes for another hour, and only returned to the ancient village when she fell asleep. When I got home, I saw my mother at a loss.

Qiu Shui thought that Zhu Lanyu and his party had come to find trouble with their mother, but their mother said that Zuo Chu had made a call to her. A-Niang did not disclose Zuo Qi's "regaining vision", for no reason, she only felt that she should not disclose it.

Qiu Shui felt disgusted and wanted to go to Zuo Chu to settle accounts. Ah Niang grabbed him and said, "In the past, you rarely mentioned the whole story to my mother, but today I saw him and found that he was not what I thought." He wants to take care of the bamboo, I don't agree with it, but there is no reason to refute it either. Why don't you give them a chance? What's more, it wasn't his fault in the first place. ”

"Why wasn't it his fault? If he doesn't give Bamboo hope in the end, and Bamboo comes back before the accident, how can he ...... later" Qiu Shui's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the fire. Ah Niang looked at him like this, and shook her head helplessly: "I'm afraid that bamboo doesn't hate him as much as you do." Qiu Shui said fiercely: "Yes, Zhuzi can't bear to hate him, but I hate him!" Why? He thought that the bamboo was going to follow his wishes? What is he? ”

Ah Niang sighed: "Niang doesn't know the past few years. The bamboo is injured, and I feel very distressed, but this left ...... Mother can't make a decision like you. Let's take a look at the meaning of bamboo. ”

"Bamboo doesn't have any affection for him now, so I can't ...... anything."

"Ah Shui, do you really want bamboo to be free from others for the rest of your life?" Ah Niang interrupted him.

Qiu Shui's original righteous rebuttal was suddenly speechless.

Zhu Yi was asleep in the hut, and when everything was quiet, the door was gently pulled open from the wooden window.

Huan Qi opened the door and did not dare to enter. It was already very fatal to come out on a cold night in the depths of winter, so they couldn't spend the night outside the house anyway, so Zuo Chu ordered them to go back to the village.

He knew where the candle flame in the hut was, and reflected the faint light of the fire that was about to be extinguished, so he raised the candle wrapped in several layers of wax and lighted it, and added a lot of firewood to the stove, and then walked to the small bed of Zhu Yi.

She didn't wake up.

The cold night here was too cold, so he rubbed his hands vigorously, and when he had recovered a little, he gently stroked his hand over her cold little face.

Zhu Yi slept inward, and the position on the edge of the bed was acceptable, so he brushed his clothes and sat gently.

She looked so well-behaved when she slept. The candlelight fluttered, reflected in his star-like eyes, reflected in her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, and the tip of her delicate nose, everything was as quiet as a frame painting.

It seems that there are thousands of emotions flowing silently in this quiet night.

I don't know when it started, and it was snowing quietly outside the window. From time to time, Zuo Chu added firewood to the stove, and when the hut heated up, he lifted the heavy quilt a little for Zhu Yi. At the beginning of the year, Xu Huanying came to invite him back to the village to rest.

The snow wolf incident made Qiu Shui and A-Niang dare not sleep soundly. A-Niang woke up in the middle of the night and asked Qiu Shui to take care of Zhu Yi. When Qiu Shui arrived at the hut, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he saw the embers of the charcoal fire that had just been extinguished.
