It was night, under the big tree in the courtyard, Bai Rong sat under the tree, and only a dim lantern reflected her pretty face.

Some old doors were opened, and Gu Ziyuan straightened his clothes and walked out.

Hearing the voice, Bai Rong turned his head and saw that it was him, so he asked, "How is the wound healing?" ”

Gu Ziyuan smiled and responded truthfully: "It's already much better, and it will be cured in a few days." ”

Hearing this, Bai Rong also breathed a sigh of relief, only when his body and martial arts recovered, could he have the best state to face the next difficulties, otherwise even the most basic escape would be a problem, and the enemy's strength might always get stronger.

Just as he wanted to discuss with Gu Ziyuan about how to continue to avoid the eyes of the city gate and leave here, Bai Rong was interrupted by his words first: "If their daughter refuses to "wake up", how are you going to end up?"

"She'll come out." Bai Rong was determined, and patted the fallen leaf tidbits on her skirt, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" Gu Ziyuan didn't know why.

Bai Rong pursed the corners of his mouth, and had a way in his heart that could promote the faster ending of this scene: "I'll invite you out for some wine, can't you?" ”

After a slight pause in his footsteps, Gu Ziyuan then smiled slightly, and bowed to her seriously: "Of course, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

He didn't ask her why she suddenly said that she wanted to invite him to drink, just because it was her invitation, he couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and he couldn't refuse at all.

Bai Rong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth because of his amusement, and nodded pretending to be calm, mumbled, turned around and led him out of the door.

In the past few days, she has not only stayed in the yard, but occasionally goes out in disguise to observe the movements.

Although the night market in the small county town is not as good as the big city, it is also a little simple and peaceful, warm and lively, picked a food stall in the corner of the alley, ordered a pot or two of sake and a plate of roast meat, and Xiao Er soon came up with fresh wine and meat.

"Two guest officers, your wine is here, and there is a good delicious roast meat, I guarantee that you will never forget it!"

The shopkeeper smiled enthusiastically and put down the wine, and after serving Bai Rong's table, he turned his head to wipe the table next door.

"Hey, have you heard, there is a family in the Hutong courtyard that does a handicraft business, and I heard that their owner is seriously ill and will die in a few days, really

It's a pity. With that, Bai Rong secretly cast a glance at Gu Ziyuan to show cooperation.

After understanding, Gu Ziyuan coughed and quickly picked up: "Yes, I didn't expect that a good person would suddenly get such a serious illness, how should he live with his wife and daughter in the future?" ”

The voices of the two were not small, and the people around them could hear it clearly, but they didn't want to listen to it, and the shopkeeper wiped the table slowly, and soon cleaned it up as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't heard anything.

After a few drinks, Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan quickly left there to avoid the danger of staying outside for a long time.

On the way back, Gu Ziyuan asked her, "It turns out that you want to spread the word." ”

"We'll know tomorrow how it works." Bai Rong was full of confidence when he said this.

The smaller the place, whether it is a rumor or a family matter, as long as it spreads, hundreds of people will always know about it, and when the matter is really "serious", it can make people sober.

Sure enough, overnight, almost half of the people in the small city knew that something had happened to the eldest brother and sister's family, and the one who was in charge of the house fell ill, and the wife was even more heartbroken, and even the daughter was infected with her father and was bedridden.

Bai Rong was a little speechless, and there were many outrageous and tragic versions that came out, but they were all to the effect that this family was going to collapse soon.

Even if she stayed in the house, the eldest brother's daughter could hear the chatter coming from outside the wall, only to find out that her father was actually seriously ill like that, and she hadn't ignored it for so long, and she really couldn't lie down now.

Hurriedly ran to her father's room, only to see that her mother was tired of crying and fainted on the side of the bed, while her father was bedridden, his face was so pale that he had no trace of blood, as if he was about to die, and his daughter knelt on the ground in fright.

She held her father's hand and began to shed tears: "Father, what's wrong with you, father, wake up, your daughter won't pretend to be sick anymore, don't leave me and my mother behind." ”

At this time, outside the window not far away, Bai Rong could see the scene inside clearly through the gap.

"It looks like it's working pretty well." She nodded with satisfaction, and the powder on her eldest brother's face was not wiped in vain.

Gu Ziyuan on the side was a little helpless, he didn't expect Bai Rong to think of so many ghost ideas.

I was furrowed by the noisy cries in my ears

, The eldest brother woke up slowly, looked at his wife and daughter beside him in a daze, and instantly woke up again: "Daughter, you, you." ”

He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while, and then the eldest sister also woke up, and when she saw that her daughter was finally willing to come out of the room, she was also very happy, and hugged her daughter and burst into tears.

The three of them hugged for a while, and the daughter remembered her father's illness and hurriedly asked what was going on. The eldest brother no longer concealed it, and told his plan to deliberately pretend to be sick from beginning to end.

"Daughter, my father knows that it's wrong to lie to you and your mother, but we can't bear to watch you tea and dinner every day!" The eldest brother explained earnestly.

The eldest sister took her daughter's hand, and her tone was almost pleading: "Just look at your father and mother who have suffered so much in the past few days, don't you grieve yourself anymore?" ”

"Dad, mother, you." Knowing that she had been deceived, her daughter was annoyed at first, but looking at her haggard parents, her heart couldn't help but soften.

In the face of her loved ones, she was still defeated.

"You see, my daughter has always had us in her heart!" His father was moved, and his daughter still cared about them, which made him happy and relieved.

The daughter wet her eyes: "You are my father, how can I ignore you?" ”

"Promise my mother, I can't be willful in the future." The eldest sister wiped the moist corners of her eyes.

But the daughter didn't know what to think, so she suddenly sank her face and shook her head and turned away: "I know what you think, but no matter what you say, I only recognize him in my life, and I won't marry anyone else!" ”

"You, you're going to be angry with your mother and me!" The eldest sister clutched her chest in misery, thinking that the family would untie the knot in this way, but she didn't want her daughter's obsession to never change.

The husband and wife thought that she was just dizzy by the poor scholar, and she was still unconscious and couldn't see reality clearly.

But her heart is as clear as a mirror, she knows what she is talking about, and she also knows how worthwhile the person she has to wait for, that is the person she misses, how can she be willing to let go?

The eldest brother supported his sad wife and said bluntly: "No, daughter, you and that scholar are not all the way at all, and your father and mother will not agree to you being together!" ”
