Chapter 23 Deliberately Finding Fault
Originally, the Gu family planned to leave Shanghai and return to Meilong Town in these two days, but now because of Crowle's death, the whole of Shanghai is under martial law, and it may not be easy to leave now.
Yesterday the wind was beautiful and the sun was shining, but the sky had changed since yesterday evening, and it was raining heavily in the middle of the night, Gu Ying had a rare lazy sleep, looking out the window and thinking about what Mu Yun said.
There was an accident two years ago, my grandfather was seriously injured, although the Taoist master cured his injury, but since then he has fallen to the root of the disease, the body is not as good as a day, and now the cottage things are being looked at by Uncle Dao, no one knows what Uncle Dao's surname is, because he has a long scar on his face, extending from the left forehead to the right corner of his mouth, which looks very scary, so everyone calls him Uncle Dao.
Uncle Dao seemed to have committed something when he was young, he fled all the way to the mountain, was found by the people of the cottage and brought back, after his grandfather had a long talk with him, he felt that he was a man of great affection and righteousness, so he left him as his deputy, when he was not usually in the cottage, Uncle Dao took care of everything in the cottage.
In fact, the cottage is handed over to Uncle Dao, he will definitely be able to take care of the cottage, but Uncle Dao doesn't know martial arts, and he has only practiced his fists and feet with the brothers of the cottage over the years, and if something really happens, it is difficult for him to even protect himself, let alone protect the entire cottage, so my grandfather wants to let himself take over the cottage, but ~~~
Gu Ying was very hesitant, with her physical condition, she didn't know how long she would live, if one day she suddenly disappeared, what should she do then? Who will the cottage be handed over?
Gu Ying was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound outside, it seemed that someone was coming, and there were quite a few.
The door was knocked a few times, and a figure probed in, Gu Meng asked, "Sister, can I come in?" ”
"Come on!" Gu Ying moved into the bed and patted his side: "It's cold, come up!" ”
Gu Meng came in, closed the door, and quickly climbed into bed: "There are a lot of people patrolling the room outside. ”
Gu Ying subconsciously glanced out of the window and sighed.
"Now that the whole of Shanghai is under martial law, I have to be interrogated for a long time when I go out, I originally wanted to go to Liu's house to see Xiaofei today, but now I can't get out." Gu Meng complained.
Of course, Gu Ying couldn't tell her that Liu Xufei and her mother had been kicked out of the house by the Liu family, and that her mother was dead and killed by Claure's men.
"After a few days, they won't be able to catch anyone, so they will naturally withdraw, and then we will go to see her!" Gu Ying said.
"Sister, how are you so sure they can't catch anyone?" Gu Meng was a little curious, and listened to her sister's tone as if she was very sure.
Gu Ying thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, it's probably an intuition, since that person has the ability to kill people and escape quietly, it is impossible for them to be caught so easily." ”
Gu Meng nodded: "You're right!" After thinking about it, he said, "Then do you agree with his way?" ”
Gu Ying looked at her and didn't speak.
Gu Meng continued: "Actually, emotionally speaking, I quite agree with her, whether it is Smith or Crowle, what they do is really hateful, and they really deserve to die, but is it right to kill people in this way?" “
Gu Ying said: "Xiaomeng, you have been well protected by your parents since you were a child, and you went to Japan to study, you have never seen many things, do you know that there are many people in this world who have no food, no clothes to wear, and no place to shelter from the wind and rain?" Their lives are already so miserable, but those powerful people still exploit and oppress them, and there are even more people like Smith and Crowle, who should they go to for those girls who use their identities to do mischief, who are trafficked by them, and those girls who have their tongues cut out? And your good friend, that Miss Liu, why would she suffer such a thing? Because of the status of those people, they will not be punished even if they do something wrong, so who will those who have been hurt by them go to redress their grievances? Do they all deserve it? “
Gu Meng looked at her sister in a daze, this is the first time that her sister has said so many things since they met, yes, she has been pampered and protected by her parents and brother since she was a child, and she really didn't know that there were so many suffering people in this world, but the education she received made her unable to accept such a way no matter what.
Gu Ying looked at Gu Meng, knowing that she couldn't understand it, so she didn't explain anymore, but said: "Xiaomeng, in this troubled world, you have to learn to protect yourself, don't trust anyone too easily, you know?" ”
Gu Meng nodded as if he didn't understand: "Sister, why do I think that you are a little different from before?" "I can't say what is different, but I feel that the sister in front of me is different from what she remembered before, including what she had after this meeting.
Gu Ying smiled and touched her head: "What's the difference?" I've always been your sister! ”
Gu Meng smiled, listened to the outside, and there seemed to be no movement: "Those people seem to be gone." ”
Gu Ying nodded: "Well, let's go down!" ”
The two of them washed up, cleaned up and went downstairs.
Perhaps because of the rain, the parents of the two families did not go downstairs to eat, but asked them to send the food to the room to eat. There were only Tang Yifeng and Fujiwara Mo in the restaurant, and it seemed that they had just come down.
Seeing the two of them coming down, Fujiwara Mo nodded and said hello, Tang Yifeng glanced up, and continued to eat, he just dealt with those patrols, and he was angry at this moment, if it was in Fengcheng, where could those British people be arrogant here, but now on other people's territory, not only can they not be bombarded out, but they also have to deal with it with a good voice.
Gu Ying and Gu Meng sat down, Gu Meng looked at Tang Yifeng, whose face was not very good-looking, and asked Fujiwara Mo silently, Fujiwara Mo shook his head at her.
"Miss Gu can still eat?" Tang Yifeng suddenly spoke, and the object was Gu Ying, who was eating breakfast by himself and did not say a word.
Gu Ying looked up at him when she heard this, she was very sure that Tang Yifeng was deliberately finding fault and making her angry.
Tang Yifeng was even more angry, what did her eyes mean? It was as if he were a vexatious child: "What do you see?"
Gu Ying looked at him: "You're not talking to me?" Of course I'm going to look at you! ”
"Good, good, good!" Tang Yifeng nodded: "Miss Gu has a really big heart, since the day of the engagement, so many things have happened in just a few days, can you really eat it?" ”
Gu Ying listened to his words and looked at the porridge in his bowl that was almost bottoming out: "Young Master Tang, the porridge in your bowl is almost finished, do you still want it?" Would you like me to serve you another bowl? ”
"Poof!" Gu Meng couldn't hold back, almost squirted out the rice in his mouth, and immediately took a tissue to wipe his mouth: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold back." ”
Fujiwara Mo hooked the corners of his mouth and said to Gu Ying: "Young Master Tang's second bowl is almost finished, so there should be no more serving." ”
Gu Ying smiled slightly: "Okay!" ”
Tang Yifeng was so angry that he kicked Fujiwara Mo under the table, what kind of brother is this, is he specially dismantling his platform?
Fujiwara Mo said to Gu Ying casually: "Shanghai has not been peaceful these days, if you don't have anything important, it's better not to go out." ”
"Good!" Gu Ying nodded: "Thank you!" ”
"Bump!" With a bang, Tang Yi angrily pushed the bowl aside, patted the table, got up and left, walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and came back, and pulled up Gu Ying, who was eating: "Follow me!" “
