Chapter 58: Reconciliation

I and Dugu Hao are the same kind of snake venom, poisoned people are not suitable for frequent movement, it is because the little monk who received us that day is very "interesting" to place Dugu Hao in my room, I lie on (bed chuáng), he sleeps on the low couch, each other is safe. I basically had the remaining poison cleared, drank two large bowls of medicine to detoxify, and soon jumped alive. Dugu Hao was not so lucky, his face was blue, and he was sick and lay down for a few days before he finally recovered completely.

Seeing the quiet appearance of him when he fell asleep always reminded me of the silly things he said intermittently on the way down the mountain on his back to me. I forgot a lot of details, but he still remembered that it was really good to remember (sex xìng).

"Qin Xi, do you remember when I first met you? On that day, you wore a light pink skirt, like a peach blossom that had just bloomed, standing out in the crowd. The people in the house surrounded you firmly, and the stars hugged you, and I have only been home for less than a month, and I have not heard of you, thinking that you are the little sister of relatives. ”

Yes, that year, Dugu Shibo had a birthday and sent an invitation to his father, and my father took me to Dugu Mansion to celebrate his birthday. The first time I went to Dugu Mansion, there was more than a novelty, the people of the Dugu family had already heard that the Lord of Qin City had an only daughter, but they didn't have the opportunity to see it, and when they learned that I would come, they flocked to the gate to greet them. Maybe I inherited my father's good looks, I am indeed outstanding, and my temperament is not like an ordinary little girl, everyone surrounded me and said a lot of kind words, nothing more than praising my beauty and saying that my father was blessed to have a good daughter.

Outside the crowd, only a young man in white stood far under the pillars, watching this scene coldly. I noticed him through the cracks, and intuitively felt that he was not so approachable, and that children like to listen to good things freshly, and I quickly left this eccentric teenager behind.

After more than half a year, approaching the cold winter season, Dugu Hao came to Qin Mansion as a guest.

"That six months were the most memorable and difficult time of my life. My father only gave me half a year to become a qualified child of a family, and I slept almost two hours a day, reading and writing, and practicing martial arts riding (shooting shè), and for many nights I thought I would not be able to hold on. Seeing the sun rise, I told myself I had survived another day. ”

I lay on his back, my head drowsy: "You won't be unable to hold on, haven't you always prided yourself on being smart?" ”

"No matter how smart a person is, it is impossible to catch up with the accumulation of seven or eight years of others in half a year, but my mother firmly believes that I will return to Dugu's house sooner or later and teach me to read and write since I was a child. I won this fight with my father, and he won. We all got what we wanted. ”

"Hmm." I'm about to lose consciousness, no, I'll have to sleep for a while, and when I wake up again, we should be back safely at Qinglu Temple.

Dugu Hao's voice was buzzing like a fly: "Qin Xi, don't sleep, hold on for a while, it will be here soon." ”

"Qin Xi, if you dare to fall asleep, I'll throw you on the ground now, regardless of your life or death."

"Qin Xi, did you hear that? If you sleep again, I will tell Murong Ying about the silk handkerchief. ”

really convinced him, he knew how to make me angry: "Dugu Hao! You're not annoyed! ”

His piercing mockery was stuffed into his ears: "For Murong Ying, you care a lot." ”

"That's natural, I'm just such a sister as Sister Ying." I didn't have many friends since I was a child, and because Sister Ying is a woman, I'm very close to her.

"Then what do you care about Murong Ying?"

I tried not to let my consciousness fly away, and said slowly: "My father often said that my mother is a talented girl, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I have never seen my mother, I can't imagine it." She knows what I'm not good at, Sister Ying, even knitting female red, she doesn't have a single one that she can't handle. In my heart, she is as beautiful as my mother. If my mother were still alive, she would definitely treat me as gently as Sister Ying. ”

This will naturally reveal the weakness in my heart, and my sticky voice has a hint of crying, in fact, I am a very fragile person: "If my mother is still alive, she will definitely be very good to me, very good." ”

Dugu Hao's back also seems to be wide and stable: "You are no worse than Murong Ying." You are who you are, and you don't need to be compared to anyone. ”

"How else can you be called hypocritical? Obviously, every time we get together, I praise Sister Ying and step on my head, but now that she is not here, you change your face and praise me, Dugu Hao, you are true or false, satisfied with nonsense, a lot of words don't know that sentence is true. ”

He chuckled: "You have your good, you don't need to change because of others." ”

After chatting for a while, my instincts became more tired, and I urged, "Is it almost there?" ”

"A few more words, it's time to arrive."

My eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't open them, and I lost my temper and said, "Are you lying to me again?" You've been playing tricks on me, maybe you're deliberately leading me up the mountain to harm me. Didn't I have a deep enmity with you, why did you have to harm my life? My dad treats you well, how can you treat his precious daughter like this? ”

Dugu Hao teased me with tears and laughter: "Actually, if you die, you won't lose, at least I will accompany you." With me on the Huangquan Road, you won't feel bored. ”

"Crow's mouth, I don't want to die with you. I want to live a long time, I have to eat all over the world, and I have to be happy with Li Xuan——"

"What do you say? With whom? ”

"Dugu Hao, I'm really going to sleep, I'm so sleepy-"

I was lying straight on the bed like a corpse, staring at the carved flowers on the lattice in a daze, sick like *drawing* silk, (body shēn) body was still very weak, everything I had experienced in the past few days was like a dream, not real at all. Dugu Hao was still asleep on the low couch, reminding me that I had just gone to the Ghost Gate Pass. The ten-year mode of getting along was broken, and he went from competing to shaking hands, and suddenly he didn't know how to face him.

"Water—water—" His sleeping voice broke the silence of the room.

There was no third person in the room, and I didn't have the strength to call a little monk for help, so I had to struggle to get up, go to the table and pour a cup of tea, and was about to help him up and pour it for him, but he had opened his eyes, and his eyes were a little embarrassed, so I put the tea down awkwardly: "You just said you want to drink water." ”

He propped up the upper half (body shēn) and sat up straight, took a teacup and drank a few sips of water to moisten it, and his bewitching face turned pale: "How do you feel?" ”

If he hadn't come to my rescue, I wouldn't have sat here upright, my cold face was relatively unreasonable, and I said softly: "(quite tǐng) Okay, wait for a good meal, and I will recover completely." ”

"Hmm. Eating is the strength to strength. Let Ah Xun go and get a delicious meal, I can't eat the vegetarian food in the temple, I don't have any oil and water, I want to eat (meat ròu) soup. ”

This man is really embarrassed to break the vows in the land of Buddhism: "I can't move him." Where do you go to get meat ròu in the deep mountains and old forests? Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you? ”

For the first time, he laughed less hatefully: "I have done a good deed, and the Buddha will forgive me." You just have to send a message to Ah Xun, and he can handle it. Not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he can't make a small (meat ròu) soup, so he doesn't have to follow me. ”

"According to what you mean, he's a big man, can he do laundry and cook?"

He urged: "I forgot to tell you that when Ah Xun was in the countryside, he was a cook. He's a good cook, you can tell it when you taste it. The ingredients were in the carriage when I came, otherwise why do you think I am not as good as your retinue with a fist and foot kung fu? ”

I snorted: "How do I know that he didn't deliberately hide his strength to test me?" ”

"With my (身shēn) hands, there is no need for anyone to protect me in the territory of Qinzhou. But it can be painful to not eat well when you go out. I like to make my life more comfortable. ”

I despise him: "Arrogant." Don't you believe that there is anyone outside of men? It's really dangerous, and it's too late for you to cry. ”

"Qin Xi, have you forgotten what the Dugu family started for? The whole world's first-hand (love qíng) report is all in Dugu Mansion, and there is a master in Qinzhou, will I not know? ”

Thinking about it this way, he made a lot of sense. As the young owner of Dugu Mansion, he should be inherently vigilant against any possible danger.

"Isn't there a mistake in the Dugu family?"

"No, I didn't."

When he said these two words, his eyes had a determination and perseverance that he had never seen before, and he could be selected by Dugu Shibo and his father, he should be the one who could lead the Dugu family to a higher level.

"The net of heaven and earth laid by the Dugu family in the land of Kyushu, you can't imagine it without (身shēn) in it. What I have in my hands is only a small part of the distribution of those core (情qíng) newspapers, which only when the family is qualified to know. But for me, it's only a matter of time before I know this. In the secret room of my father's study, there is the lifeblood of the entire Dugu family. Even if they are not attached to the Qin family, the Dugu family can still have a place in Kyushu. ”

"So you're threatening me?"

He smiled extremely wickedly: "I am kind enough to remind you of the strength of the Dugu family, don't underestimate the Dugu family, the three-legged situation can be maintained for so many years, and this alliance cannot be changed by your own strength." ”

"How did you know I had a similar thought?"

"It's better not to have any. Otherwise, neither Murong Ying nor I will let you go. Remember my words, there are no eternal friends in the family, only eternal interests. Don't believe me too much, and don't trust Murong Ying too much. The concepts she has been instilled in since childhood are similar to mine. ”

I also laughed incomprehensibly: "I'll take your words seriously." ”

can say so much in one breath, it seems that his vitality has almost recovered, I found Ah Xun according to what he said, and as he expected, within half an hour, Ah Xun arranged a whole table of dishes, Dugu Hao and I bathed and freshened up one after another, changed (body shēn) clean clothes, and sat down The two of them were already hungry.

He said that he was not afraid of the Buddha's blame, but he still restrained himself, and he didn't really make up chicken, duck and fish (meat ròu) in one meal, and the real meat was only one (meat ròu) soup. For the sake of his (body shēn) physical weakness, I will not bother with him about these things for the sake of this, but plan to copy a Buddhist scripture later and go to the Buddha to repent, hoping that the Buddha will forgive.

I picked up the bowl in front of Dugu Hao and gave him half a bowl of soup (meat ròu), he was obviously flattered: "What are you doing here?" Dedication? ”

Before he got better, he looked like a scoundrel, I thought of him saving my life, and teased me for not worrying about it, and I was not so stingy: "You are very lucky, my father has never enjoyed such treatment, just a bowl of soup, I should thank you for bothering to save me." ”

"Oh-I'm not afraid I'm tricking you and deliberately deceiving your trust?"

I also served myself a bowl, (肉ròu) soup is tender and delicious, I slowly drank a small half bowl, Tan ((swing dàng) dàng) looked directly at him: "Whether there is a calculation in this, it is true that you saved me with your life, and it is true that you almost died. I don't like to owe to others, this time I owe you, this person (情qíng) I will pay you back. ”

He took a bite of the soup and smiled harmlessly: "A joke, don't be serious, I have written down your promise." He (日rì) is in need, and I will look for you. ”

I have to admit that Ah Xun's cooking skills are great, I am satisfied after eating a meal, although it is not as exquisite and gorgeous as Shanhailou, but it has the infinite aftertaste of rural game. It's hard to imagine that such a cold and ordinary person can make such delicious dishes, and the more ordinary Ah Xun looks, the more I doubt his strength.

I asked Dugu Hao bluntly: "Ah Xun is not an ordinary cook, what means did you use to buy him?" ”

"To each his own takes what he needs, so why should it be said that it is such a bad thing to buy?"

I know a little bit about Dugu Hao's style of doing things, but everyone always has something to ask for, and there is a weakness when he asks for something, he is a hunter with excellent patience (sex xìng), and he can use some possible methods to explore the prey**, and then prescribe the right medicine, this trick is very effective. It is because all of his henchmen are very loyal and reliable, and he is a master of using people (sex xìng).

"Sell less, say it quickly." My eyes were already shining, waiting for him to tell a story.

"It's actually quite simple. About half a year ago, I found the murderer of his parents and sent him a message on the condition that he would follow me for the rest of his life. He agreed for revenge. ”

It doesn't sound complicated, but I always feel that something is wrong: "There are so many excellent cooks in the world, why do you choose him?" ”

"Where else do you think he's going to go if he's killed? All it takes is a notice for the government to post a wanted person in the city. Who else but me can give him a brand new (身shēn) share and shelter him to live? ”

I don't understand what he means anymore, it's in vain that I've lived in the Qin Mansion for so many years, Dugu Hao's mind is too terrible: "What you fancy is that Ah Xun has no way out, and can only rely on you alone, such a person stays by your side, and you will be completely assured that he will not betray you." ”

He said something that scared me even more: "You're only half right. I had sent someone to target him before his parents were killed, for the simple reason that no bond could be closer than blood, and that the loyalty he could give me was stronger than anyone else's. I don't take it lightly, and once I do, I will definitely get what I want. ”

This is the first time I've watched Dugu Hao, who has been with each other for ten years, and I didn't even notice his true strength. What's even more ironic is that if he hadn't volunteered to let me see this side, I would have been kept in the dark and continued to be confused by his game of the world.

I became wary of him: "Why are you telling me this? ”

"I'm letting you know this, and it's my sincerity. Qin Xi, I will prove to you that the Dugu family will be the best help for the Qin family. ”
