Chapter 12: The Enemy Meets Each Other
Shisu thought as she walked, and in order to verify her guess, she asked, "How do you know that this is the tomb built by my aunt and uncle, my uncle, and my cousin?" Who is taking their graves? If you know, please tell me, I have a chance to repay his great kindness. ”
Gu Junyi smiled faintly: "I don't hide it from the cow, I helped them build the grave, after the death of this family of three, they were thrown into the mass grave, in order to investigate the truth, I came to the mass grave to see if they have relatives to help bury them, maybe they can find out their identities through their relatives." I found out that they had been buried for a day, and I found a few people to help you bury them, so that their relatives could distinguish who was buried in the grave, so that I made a distinction between the size of the mound. ”
Zi Su couldn't help but be moved, although Gu Junyi also had his own purpose, but he was at least a kind-hearted person in doing so.
She knelt lightly on the ground and bowed to Gu Junyi.
Gu Junyi hurriedly pulled her up, "This is what I should do, the dead are great, it is human nature to let the dead go to the ground for peace, and it is the purpose of our "Jinling Daily" to seek justice for them." ”
These words are said easily, and Shiso knows that it is not so easy to do.
Ah Xian said that the power of the Zhou Mansion in Jinling City is almost single-handed, and burying his parents and younger brother is to risk offending the Zhou Mansion, and if he is found by the Zhou Mansion to be immortal, he will have to shed his skin.
"Mr. Gu, aren't you afraid of the people of the Zhou Mansion?"
Gu Junyi smiled: "Of course I'm afraid, but I'm the one who buried it in the dead of night, and they won't find it, and besides, people are dead, and the dead can't speak, they won't pay attention to who helps bury them, but unfortunately I don't even know their names, and I can't erect a tombstone for them." ”
"Mr. Gu, you have done too much for my aunt's family, if I have the ability to do it in the future, I will personally erect a tombstone for each of them."
Shiso's eyes were unusually firm, as if he was confident.
Gu Junyi nodded, "I'm sure you can do it." ”
Zi Su's eyes rolled, and he thought of another question, "You said that you are afraid of the people of the Zhou Mansion, but why do you want to investigate the affairs of the Zhou Mansion again, aren't you obviously looking for trouble for yourself?" ”
"It is precisely because I am a person who is afraid of the Zhou Mansion that I want to find evidence of the evil done by the Zhou Mansion, so that the Zhou Mansion will also be afraid of me. "Jinling Daily" is a newspaper supported by the governor, and the people of the Zhou Mansion are dominating one side, and he still has to give the governor's face. ”
"You are the bravest and most worthy person I have ever met." Shiso is a person who admires Gu Junyi from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Junyi smiled: "I'm just doing my duty, Miss Zisu, what are you going to do in the future?" ”
"I don't know, maybe stay in Jinling, I don't have any relatives at home."
Zisu suddenly thought of Ah Xian, maybe she was her only relative in Jinling, but the old woman said that Ah Xian was not a person, what kind of identity was Ah Xian? Why didn't she say goodbye?
After returning to Jinling City, Gu Junyi saw that Zi Su was penniless, so he found a hotel for her to live in, and bought her some food before leaving.
At night, the autumn wind outside the window is tight, and the sound of leaves rubbing against the tiles comes to Shiso's ears from time to time.
The smiles of her parents and younger brother kept flashing in her mind, and the three graves without tombstones, no one burned paper money, her parents and younger brothers, who died in a foreign land, died so unjustly, there was not even a tombstone, and there were also lonely ghosts and wild ghosts on Huangquan Road, and in the silent night, two lines of tears kept rolling down her cheeks.
In the deep night, the endless pain in Shisu's heart made her really unable to sleep, so she secretly went out of the hotel, went to the street offering shop to buy incense, candles, and paper, braved the cool breeze, stumbled to the mass grave, knelt in front of the grave of her parents and brother, and wept bitterly.
In the cold wind, she swore to the graves of her parents and brother with grief, "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter swears to avenge our family and get justice for you." ”
It wasn't until Shisu's cold teeth rattled that she dragged her tired body back to Jinling City.
Early the next morning, Gu Junyi came to find her and brought breakfast.
Last night, the wind was cold and the dew was heavy, Shisu went back and forth to the mass grave and tossed, and when she returned to the hotel, it was already dark, and she wrapped the quilt tightly around her body with cold.
At dawn, she felt that her head was hot, her whole body was weak, her eyelids were sour and heavy and she couldn't open them at all, and the sound of Gu Junyi knocking on the door came into her ears, and she didn't have the strength to respond.
When Gu Junyi heard that no one responded, he felt that the situation was not good, and slammed the door of the room hard.
Seeing the shrunken and groggy Shisu, Gu Junyi asked with some concern, "Zisu, are you sick?" ”
Shisu moved his eyelids and didn't seem to have the strength to speak.
Gu Junyi hurriedly called the shopkeeper, "Please ask a Lang Zhong to treat this girl." ”
The shopkeeper looked unhappy on his face, "On such a cold day, a big girl's family, ran out in the middle of the night, and came back soon, frozen all night, can you not get sick?" Luckily, I'm just sick, and if something happens, I'm going to be out of luck. ”
Gu Junyi didn't seem interested in listening to the boss's muttering, and asked rhetorically, "Boss, are you cursing this girl?" ”
"I didn't mean that, but I didn't think this girl was sneaky like a good person. I said, this gentleman, you look like a scholar, how can you mix with such a girl? ”
Gu Junyi frowned: "Boss, didn't you understand what I said?" Hurry up and help find me a Langzhong, the errand fee is included in the room price. ”
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a man with white hair, and after a pulse diagnosis, he couldn't help frowning.
Gu Junyi asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with this girl?" ”
"This girl has a fever, and she will be fine after taking two doses of anti-epithetical medicine."
"But your old expression just now doesn't seem to be as simple as not wanting to catch a cold?"
"Sir, you and this girl are not a little couple, are you?"
Gu Junyi smiled slightly embarrassed: "We are relatives. ”
"There was nothing wrong with the girl's health, but she showed signs of taking medicine containing musk, which is why the cold symptoms were so bad. I saw that the girl was not dressed like she had ever been married, and if she continued to take musk, I was afraid that it would affect her fertility, and when the girl woke up, Mr. Trouble advised her not to continue taking musk drugs. Recently, the weather has changed abruptly, so don't let him go out at the end. ”
After Lang Zhong left, Gu Junyi was puzzled, and couldn't help but look up at the branches behind the inn that were swaying by the wind.
The weather in Jinling City this year is a little weird, autumn has just arrived, an autumn wind is blowing, the weather is as cold as winter, the cicadas were heard a few days ago, and after a day of strong winds, it seems that all the animals are hiding.
The shopkeeper helped to make the decoction, and Gu Junyi carefully poured the perilla into it one by one.
After two hours, Zi Su woke up, drenched in sweat, and there was still the bitter taste of medicine in her mouth, and she raised her eyes to see Gu Junyi sitting in front of the table in the room and writing.
"What's wrong with me? Mr. Gu, why are you here? ”
Gu Junyi got up and came over and told her about her illness.
Zi Su wanted to get up, she didn't have any strength at all, she stared at Gu Junyi and asked, "Is it Lang Zhong you found for me to feed me medicine?" ”
Gu Junyi nodded, Zi Su couldn't help but feel slightly hot, it was the first time in her life that she was fed medicine by a man, fortunately she was in a coma, and it was embarrassing to deny it.
"I heard the shopkeeper say that you went out in the middle of the night, what are you going to do in such a cold weather?"
Zi Su's heart tightened, and he lied and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk, but I got lost and came back late." ”
Gu Junyi didn't seem to have any doubts about her explanation, and said, "That Lang Zhong asked me to give you a word just now, don't let you take too much medicine containing musk, it's not good for your health." ”
There was a little splash in Zi Su's eyes, Gu Junyi took care of her so much, and there was a trace of emotion in her heart.
In order to take revenge, in order to save this face, why didn't she take Dragon Musk Pills? The moment she decided, she never regretted it.
Gu Junyi looked at her silently, and didn't ask too much, but said that the newspaper was busy, and since Zisu was safe, he was relieved to return to the work of the newspaper.
These words made Zi Su feel that Gu Junyi seemed to have something in mind about herself.
It must not be like this, Zi Su understands that her face is fake, and she will not have children in this life, she is no longer qualified to have emotional entanglements with anyone, and she will only hurt others and hurt herself.
Zi Su stopped him, "Mr. Gu, thank you, I want to know why you are doing this to me?" ”
It's not just about rejecting emotions, since encountering the cruelty of those people in the Zhou Mansion, Zisu's perception of people has also changed, and there is no gratuitous favor in this world.
Even if Gu Junyi is a kind and good person, he will not take such intimate care of him.
Gu Junyi seemed to see Zisu's thoughts, "You are the only person who knows the identity of the family that died in the tragedy of the three members of the broken temple in Vermilion Bird Lane, I hope that through you can get more clues and seek justice for that family of three." ”
"That's all?"
"Of course, what do you think?"
Shisu couldn't help but laugh in her heart that she was thinking too much, how could she think so much about a man who had just met for less than a day?
She was silent for a moment, thinking to herself that if she wanted to take revenge, she would enter the Zhou family to find out everything about the Zhou Mansion before she could wait for the opportunity, which was also what Ah Xian taught her.
At the moment, she is not familiar with life, and she can't enter the Zhou Mansion at all, this Gu Junyi seems to be a good person, maybe he will help her.
"You said you're a journalist, do you know a lot of people? Is there anyone who knows Zhou? ”
Gu Junyi didn't understand what she meant, but she saw a hint of danger in her eyes, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Would you like to do me a favor too?"
"See if I can do it?"
"I want to enter the Zhou family, even if I am a maid?"
"You want to inquire about what happened to your cousin in the Zhou Mansion?"
"Yes, don't you also want to know what happened to my cousin in the Zhou Mansion? You've done so much for my aunt's family, and you've taken such good care of me, so I want to help you too. ”
"You're not afraid of danger?"
"If I had been afraid, I would not have begged you. If you can help me enter the Zhou Mansion, I can also solve my food and accommodation, and I can also help you inquire about some news by the way, I really want to repay you. ”
"But I don't want to use a girl's house to take a risk in order to investigate the affairs of the Zhou Mansion?"
"No, it's not exploitation, I'm for the hatred of my relatives, you also want to get justice for them, we are all the way, we are cooperating with each other."
Gu Junyi thought for a moment, looked at Zi Su's firm eyes, and nodded.
"If you can serve in Aunt Song's room, there should be no danger. I know that Aunt Song of the Zhou Mansion has a preference, I can arrange it for you, whether Aunt Song can let you enter the Zhou Mansion depends on your creation. ”
