Chapter 106: A Bitter Meat Ploy
Although we helped solve some problems last time, it seems that it is also a symptom rather than a cure, and besides, Gu Xiaoxiao's parents were also in Xishan back then, and now, Grandpa Gu is gone there again, I faintly feel that the Gu family and the West Mountain have an inextricable relationship.
I couldn't help but start worrying that Gu Xiaoxiao was coming, and I was afraid that it would be her turn next.
This matter involves Xishan, and I can almost be sure that the matter of Jiangcheng is definitely related to Lu Zhao.
Even I suspect that Yun Sheng might be with Lu Zhao now, in Xishan!
I asked Gu Xiaoxiao: "What happened to Grandpa Gu's death?" β
Gu Xiaoxiao turned to look at Lu Mingchuan who was standing on the side, and said: "Everything, the Lu family helped me take care of everything, grandpa's body can't be cremated, and I don't dare to put it in the morgue of the crematorium, for fear that someone will do something, and finally go down to the ice cellar, and wait for the disaster in Jiangcheng to pass, and then find a master to overcome." β
Gu Xiaoxiao said, suddenly looked at me and said, "By the way, Ah Li, since you have returned to Jiangcheng, then Master Mo should also come back, can you ask Master Mo to help?" I don't want to do anything now, I just want my grandfather to be buried as soon as possible. β
"Can you take me to see Grandpa Gu?" I asked.
Lu Mingchuan immediately responded: "I'll take you over." β
For a big family like the Lu family, it is normal to have an ice cellar in the house, Lu Mingchuan took us all the way to the back of the old house, the ice cellar is not far from the rockery in the back garden, open the ice cellar mouth, go down the stairs, and feel the cold inside.
The ice cellar is quite large, divided into two rooms, the outer area is relatively large, equivalent to a cold storage, the inside is relatively small, it should have been stacked with items, and now there is an ice coffin quietly inside.
Grandpa Gu lay peacefully in the ice coffin, judging from his facial expression, he didn't seem to be in pain, he lay upright, changed into a shroud, and clenched his two hands into fists and placed them on his chest.
I looked at it and asked Gu Xiaoxiao, "When you found Grandpa Gu, was he in this position?" β
"yes, that's the pose." Gu Xiaoxiao said, "It should be that after grandpa died, someone helped him to be buried, the shroud on his body, the lying posture, etc., were all intact, we just carried grandpa out of the coffin and put it in the ice coffin for preservation." β
The coffin, placed on the inside of the ice coffin, from the appearance, there is nothing special, but just imagine, falling from the cliff, it was unscathed, the material of this coffin is not ordinarily good.
When I opened the lid of the coffin, I saw that the bottom of the coffin was covered with thick paper money ingots, and everything behaved normally.
Looking at it, my eyes were fixed on the clenched hands on Grandpa Gu's chest, and I asked Gu Xiaoxiao, "Have you opened your fist?" β
Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's already stiff, no matter how you get it, you can't open it." β
I groaned, Grandpa Gu's death was too strange, and coupled with the accidents of Gu Xiaoxiao's parents back then, this matter could not be easily passed.
I stood up, looked at Lu Mingchuan, and asked, "Are you really together?" β
Lu Mingchuan nodded: "Hmm." β
Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and didn't speak, the atmosphere between the two of them was a little delicate.
It should be the night before, they had a relationship with each other, Lu Mingchuan is a responsible person, Gu Xiaoxiao is not a casual girl, the two were tied together.
Although this is an accident, if Gu Xiaoxiao marries Lu Mingchuan, it will really be a high branch, and Lu Mingchuan is also quite safe, after a long time, it can be regarded as a good destination to run in feelings.
"Jiangcheng is very unstable now, don't act rashly for the time being, I will find someone to deal with this matter." I explained, and then looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, my current situation is a little complicated, I may have to leave Jiangcheng again soon, I can't take care of you, you have to be good." β
"Ah Li, I'm alone now, and after my grandfather settles into the ground, I don't want to stay in this sad place in Jiangcheng, where are you going, can you take me? I just want to be with you. Gu Xiaoxiao took my hand and said with a stammer.
I also want to be with Gu Xiaoxiao, but thinking about the Longtan Tiger's Den in Changbai Mountain, I still dispelled this idea.
Before I could speak, Lu Mingchuan protested: "Xiaoxiao, how can you be alone? So what am I? β
"You...... It's my friend. Gu Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course, "Oh, I may become my boss in the future." β
I'm full of black lines, these two people are not together? What kind of plane?
Lu Mingchuan's brows twisted into a pimple: "That's all?" β
"And what else?" Gu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Landlord? β
I understand now, in Gu Xiaoxiao's heart, she lives here with Lu Mingchuan, in fact, she is just sending people under the fence, they have not really determined the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, Lu Mingchuan may also promise to let Gu Xiaoxiao go to his company for an internship, that's all.
I stretched out my hand and pushed Lu Mingchuan, and asked him very seriously, "What do you think?" β
"Xiaoxiao can live in my house forever." Lu Mingchuan said.
"What else?" I was a little upset, "If that's the case, then I'll have to take Xiaoxiao away." β
Lu Mingchuan scratched his hair a little irritably: "You have to give us a little time to run in, Xiaoxiao is in a bad mood now, and I can't talk about anything else, but I will take the responsibility." β
"I don't have to be responsible for you, I'm grateful that you can help me in this matter, we ...... Not all the way. Gu Xiaoxiao bluntly refused.
Lu Mingchuan spread his hands, looked at me innocently, and said: "Bai Li, you see, she is this attitude, which makes me very helpless, in fact, for me, I have already reached the age when I should talk about marriage, it is no problem to marry her immediately, I have the ability to give what she needs, but she is not in my heart, I can't help it." β
"I've said it all, we're not suitable." Gu Xiaoxiao was very persistent, "Let's put aside whether we have an emotional foundation or not, can't you see my family situation?" Except for the old house left by my grandfather, I have nothing, the door is not the right one, and none of my family members are dead normal, how much trouble you will cause if you are with me, who can say? With your status, can I drag you into the water? β
Gu Xiaoxiao's words were sincere.
What she said is reasonable, if Lu Mingchuan didn't carry the burden of the Lu Group on his shoulders, he could do anything, but after all, he is the heir of the Lu family, and it is not a good thing to get too close to our group.
"I'm sure I can protect you." Lu Mingchuan said.
Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's not a matter of believing each other, you don't understand the affairs of our circle, I can't bother you, and when grandpa's posthumous affairs are done, I will leave." β
The topic is frozen here, it is useless to talk more, Gu Xiaoxiao has to think clearly about it.
β¦β¦
When Mo Kun drove me back, I kept thinking about Grandpa Gu's remains, analyzing the current situation, and halfway through, I suddenly said: "Mo Kun, just leave me here." β
"I don't want to die." Mo Kun was unwilling, he was afraid that something would happen to me, and Mo Xianye blamed him.
I pinched my eyebrows, thought about it again and again, and finally insisted: "Mo Kun, put me down, I can't go with you." β
"Why?" Mo Kun looked back in the rearview mirror and asked me.
"Because I'm Yun Sheng's fiancΓ©e, not Mo Xianye's, I ran to Jiangcheng and went straight to Mo Xianye, instead of going to Yun Sheng, you say, is it normal?" I explained.
Chirping......
The sharp sound of brakes suddenly sounded, and Mo Kun turned his head and stared at me deadly, eager to kill me: "Bai Li, are you sick in the brain?" Where is Yunsheng good? And one thousandth of the big brother? β
"Whether he is good or not, he is my future husband, I don't care about my future husband, but I mess with his cousin, what kind of system?" I have a lot of words.
Mo Kun raised his fist and was about to smash it at me, I raised my head to meet it, his fist stopped only a few centimeters away from my nose, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, why did my eldest brother plant you like this...... in hand. β
If you scolded me, you didn't dare to scold me in the end.
Then he opened the door, put me down, and the car drove away.
I didn't even think about what to do next, because I suddenly realized that I was on the wrong path.
From the time Grandpa Bai asked me if I wanted to come to Jiangcheng, I made a wrong decision, I should come, but it shouldn't be with Mo Xianzhen and them.
Because the identity I play now is not Bai Li, but Huang Wanting! Huang Wanting came to Jiangcheng, it must be for Yunsheng.
Now that I've come to this point, it's impossible to turn back, and what's even more terrifying is that I find that I can't play the role of Huang Wanting at all.
Huang Wanting only loves Yunsheng, everything about her is in Changbai Mountain, and everything in Jiangcheng belongs to Baili, so when she comes to Jiangcheng, she will not deal with such and such things, she will only go to Yunsheng.
I suffocated myself into a dead end, and now how to get out of this dead end is stumped for me.
It's impossible for me to tear my face with Yun Sheng at this time, I haven't fully utilized Huang Wanting's identity, what should I do next?
The rain was falling in bursts, and I squatted on the street shrouded in black fog, very confused.
I have a feeling that there are a pair of eyes staring at me right now, looking at me not far away.
When I leave Changbai Mountain, Mo Yanping and they will definitely notify Yun Sheng as soon as possible, and Yun Sheng will return to Jiangcheng this time, on the one hand, for 2.0, on the other hand, it is likely to be for the Yin Soldier Talisman, we will find the ancient street as soon as possible, and Yun Sheng will too.
He was staring at me, waiting for my every move.
2.0 was taken away by the yin, it will inevitably cause some suspicions, these people are human spirits, any clues will be caught by them, follow the vine, figure out everything.
Soon, my body was damp and shivering, and I don't know how long I squatted in the street until a car stopped not far away.
Immediately after, someone walked down from above, and when I looked sideways, I saw Mo Xianye holding a black umbrella in his hand, standing by the car door, looking at me from a distance.
The moment I saw him, something crossed my mind, but then I was startled by my own thoughts.
Mo Xianye didn't come over directly, I don't know what he was thinking, maybe what he was thinking was exactly what I was struggling with now.
The next moment, he threw away the black umbrella in his hand and walked towards me step by step, step by step, each step seemed to be on the tip of my heart.
I saw that in his right hand, I don't know when there was an extra sharp knife, the cold light was cold, and the rain fell down the tip of the knife, drop by drop.
I was stunned for three or five seconds, then jumped up and ran.
The footsteps behind me immediately became faster, getting closer and closer, and at the last moment, some memories of Huang Wanting suddenly appeared in my mind, and as soon as I turned my head, I blew at Mo Xianye in my mouth.
He stretched out his hand to cover his nose and held his breath, and I took advantage of this gap to shake out a pale yellow bead from my sleeve and slam it on the ground, the bead burst open, and for a while the pale yellow powder spread, enveloping me and Mo Xianye.
In that piece of powder, Mo Xianye and I finally came face to face, and after a few moves, Mo Xianye suddenly took my hand and stabbed the sharp knife into his left arm.
My heart was like a knife, but the next moment, he slapped my right shoulder, the bloody knife in my hand, and my body slammed into the wall of the house behind me like a kite with a broken string.
The force was so great that it made me feel like my bones were going to fall apart.
I heard Mo Xianye's violent coughing, and Mo Kun's voice running up and yelling: "Big brother, why are you injured?" β
"The smoke is poisonous and hallucinating, hold your breath." Mo Xianye said as he pushed Mo Kun away and ran towards me again, I struggled to get up, but Mo Xianye's speed was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he raised his palm, condensed his true qi in his palm, and slapped his head towards me.
From the moment Mo Xianye walked towards me with a knife, in fact, I already understood, he understood me best, and from my request to get off Mo Kun's car, he had already guessed what kind of predicament I was facing.
So, he's giving me a chance right now, pushing me to Yunsheng.
Even if this opportunity was to be maintained with blood, or even a misunderstanding between us, he did it with determination.
I still remember the day he left Changbai Mountain and came to Jiangcheng, I told him: Don't demolish me.
Now that 2.0 was unexpectedly taken away by Yincha, I lost that body, there was no way out, Mo Xianye knew this, so he decided to fulfill me and let me face this mess with him.
Both of us are actually gambling, betting that Yunsheng is around, and betting that Yunsheng will make a move.
Seeing that Mo Xianye's palm was about to slap me, there was no movement around, and I could only roll to the side, Mo Xianye's palm was off, and the wall behind me was shot out of a big hole.
And I took this opportunity to stab the knife in my hand towards Mo Xianye again, and Mo Xianye slashed my knife with a backhand, which shook my wrist and turned purple.
The two of us are real, and I am defeated by Mo Xianye after all, and when he pressed against me, I closed my eyes in resignation.
What I was thinking in my head was, am I guessing wrong? Didn't Yun Sheng come?
Did we lose the bet?
What's next?
But then, finally, a white figure rushed out of the black mist, blocking Mo Xianye's palm and protecting me behind me.
Mo Xianye retreated to Mo Kun's side, and the two sides looked at each other across half a street, and no one made another move.
Finally, Mo Xianye turned around, got in the car, and left.
Seeing the car disappear, I pushed Yun Sheng away, turned around and left in a huff.
Yun Sheng chased after him and said, "What kind of temper are you making?" β
"What am I messing about? I almost died just now, and you dare to say that you weren't watching from a short distance around at the time? Why do you want to come out, let me die at his hands! I yelled at Yun Sheng, tears streaming out of my eyes.
Then he reached out and groped his jaw, and tore it hard, tearing off the dough, revealing Huang Wanting's face.
This face was disguised by Huang Wanting little by little, I inherited her memory, of course I know how to tear it off, and even let me change it again, it is as easy as a snap, so I can be so open-minded.
I want Yun Sheng to feel my anger, I want to make him feel a sense of crisis, I have to make him understand that even if Huang Wanting has loved him for so many years, in the face of life and death, she will despair of him after all.
In the final analysis, Yun Sheng would not easily lose the auxiliary force of the Yellow Immortal Clan, and he would restrain for this power.
And everything Mo Xianye did to me was actually for this moment, in order to make Yun Sheng pay attention to and trust me again.
After I tore off my mask, I threw it at Yun Sheng's feet, and shouted with red eyes: "I rushed from Changbai Mountain to this unfamiliar Jiangcheng in order to make sure of your safety, but I was worried about you, but you didn't care about me at all, Yun Sheng, I, Huang Wanting, in my life, I loved you by mistake!" β
After I finished speaking, I brushed the rain from my face, turned around and left.
Yun Sheng grabbed my hand, I shook it off hard, he caught up and grabbed it, I still shook it......
Finally, he grabbed my shoulder, broke me over, and said, "Huang Wanting, don't make trouble, I just rushed over." β
"Are you still going to lie? I'm not a three-year-old, so I'm so easy to deceive in your eyes? I continued to get angry, "Yun Sheng, you use me, I am willing to be used by you, I don't ask you to love me, I just ask you to pity me and respect me, but unfortunately you don't, since this is the case, then why should I insist!" β
I pushed him again, and he hugged me in his arms and hugged me very tightly: "I'm sorry Wan Ting, I neglected your feelings, I have encountered too many things recently, and I am more irritable, I will change, I will change for you, can you give me another chance?" β
"You're busy, what are you busy with? You're busy with your white moonshine! I still didn't let go, "You haven't looked at me for so many years, isn't it just for that white glass?" Bai Li escaped in Changbai Mountain and returned to Jiangcheng, you immediately chased to Jiangcheng, Yunsheng, I will fulfill you. β
"Wan Ting, I promise you, from now on, I only have you in my heart, and there is no such person as Bai Li!" Yun Sheng was busy currying favor, "She only has Mo Xianye in her heart, I flattered her in every way, but didn't she end up being betrayed?" I know too well the pain of loving someone and not being able to, and I can understand your heart for me too well, although it is thousands of years late, but I still want to say, Wan Ting, we start again from now on, everything is not too late. β
I have to say that Yun Sheng knows too much how to disguise himself with affection, this trick of 'empathy' is really tear-jerking, although I feel ironic in my heart, but on the surface I still pretend to be moved, I don't say anything, just lie on his shoulder, twitch his shoulder, and sob.
Yun Sheng patted me on the back and whispered in my ear: "Although Mo Xianye already knows that you are a fake now, but if he doesn't break it, we still have to disguise it, and before we take the real power, we still have to hide it from the Changbai Mountain." β
I wiped my eyes and said reluctantly: "I don't want to live in other people's faces anymore, Yun Sheng, I want to be with you openly." β
"However, the time is not yet ripe, Wan Ting, believe me, that day will come soon." Yun Sheng spared no effort to brainwash me.
I shook my head and wondered, "I just don't understand, Mo Xianye already knows that I'm a fake, why didn't he expose me?" β
I asked this question after careful consideration, because this question is too sensitive, and even a bit of a thief shouting to catch a thief, if it is not good, it will arouse Yun Sheng's suspicions.
But this question is a double-edged sword, after all, I dare to ask it, which shows that I am honest in my heart, and I really stand on the united front with Yun Sheng, and I can also capture some of his innermost thoughts through Yun Sheng's answer.
I looked at Yun Sheng, my eyes were full of incomprehension, and it took a while for Yun Sheng to say, "He doesn't dare!" β
I sneered and shook my head: "With your old man Mo supporting him, what would he not dare?" β
"Because his current mana is not the most explosive and powerful time." Yun Sheng said, "After the Heavenly Tribulation that year, his mana was sealed by ninety percent, even if he has been cultivating for tens of thousands of years, and the cultivation results are remarkable, but in the end, it is less than half of what he was ten thousand years ago, and he has fatal injuries. β
"If he exposes you now, it will lead to a big blow to the entire Yellow Immortal Clan against the Fox Clan, and he can't afford it."
"In less than a year, it's not long, it's short, it's really short, Wan Ting, as long as it's not a last resort, we don't need to make a big move, we can spend this year, we will win."
Yun Sheng said, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, it can be seen that these words really came from the bottom of his heart.
His analysis is also very correct, Mo Xianye really can't afford it.
"Yun Sheng, after that year, will you still recognize our marriage contract?" I looked at him apprehensively, showing that he was suffering from gains and losses.
Yun Sheng smiled: "Why do you ask that? Aren't you already my wife a year later? β
I immediately laughed, then lowered my head and made a shy gesture, and he took me into his arms at the right time, so that we could relax and be ourselves in a place where we could not see each other's expressions.
In the dark fog of the sky, I listened to Yun Sheng with my heart: "Wan Ting, don't worry about giving yourself to me, I won't let you down." β
