"Bang ——!"

The horses rushed into the mud, unable to move their limbs, and the coachman, with his eyes closed, fell straight into the mud, unconscious.

Only then did there be a scream from the carriage.

Gu Dongqing and Mu Yao looked at each other.

Such carriages are generally only owned by rich and noble families, and the screams coming from inside are women's voices, and they dare not step forward, for fear of abruptly bringing trouble to the rich daughter.

The direction that the carriage rushed over happened to be the deepest part of the water, and Gu Dongqing walked along another shallow place, seeing that the wheels were still sinking, and the mud was almost to the wheels.

Gu Nansang suddenly got up, ran over in a few steps, jumped into the carriage briskly, lifted the curtain, and said, "Don't panic, follow me!" ”

The two girls in the car, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, were raised in the deep boudoir, where had they seen such a battle, and they were frightened for a while, and they only knew screaming.

At this time, I saw someone rescue, although it was a girl younger than them, but this situation was a hundred times better than before.

"Wanyue, you go first!" One of the girls spoke, she helped the other girl, grabbed Gu Nansang's outstretched hand tightly, and jumped out with her strength.

As soon as the carriage was loosened, the sinking speed slowed down.

Gu Nansang jumped into the carriage again and brought the other girl down.

It wasn't until the two of them stood together that Gu Nansang realized that this was actually a pair of twin sisters.

The two looked very similar, except for the girl who came down first, there was a tear mole under her right eye, and the others were exactly the same.

Gu Dongqing and Mu Yao worked together to catch the coachman who fell into the mud.

The carriage was running too fast before, and Gu Nansang didn't have time to see it clearly, but only now did he see that the abdomen that the coachman had been holding was actually a piece of bright red blood.

"Thank you, girl, for saving your life." The two girls saluted in unison.

Gu Nansang came back to his senses, helped them out, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." But you, the coachman, I'm afraid you need to be treated quickly. ”

"We are the Meng family in Linfeng City, my brother is here to do business, and we are playing in other courtyards." One of the girls whispered, "My name is Meng Wanqing, and this is my sister Meng Wanyue. ”

Gu Nansang looked at Meng Wanyue, and could only rely on the tear moles in the corners of her eyes to tell that she was her sister.

Meng Wanqing said: "Today we originally went to the Half Moon Nunnery to offer incense, but we met a thief on the way, and the entourage was scattered in a panic, and the coachman tried his best to protect it, so we escaped." ”

It is already remarkable that she can be so calm in such a situation, Gu Nansang looked at her and her eyes were already red, but she still had to comfort her sister and tell herself the truth, and sighed in her heart.

"Two Meng girls, we are from Lotus Village, my surname is Gu, and these two are my elder brothers." Gu Nansang helped her sit down on the stone beside her, and said with relief: "Don't worry, we are good people, if you don't dislike it, I can send you back to Anping City." ”

"No need, thank you Miss Gu." Meng Wanqing shook her head slightly and said, "My personal maid has already gone to report the news, and soon my brother will find him, and the coachman will be saved." It's just that we have no power to tie the chicken, and I implore the girl to accompany us and wait for our brother, and there will be a lot of thanks at that time! ”

Gu Nansang looked at Gu Dongqing, who was standing not far away.

Because the sisters of the Meng family are women, plus their hair is scattered, their faces are haggard, and they have men and women who are guarded, Gu Dongqing and Mu Yao can only stand far away and do not come.

Receiving Gu Nansang's eyes, Gu Dongqing understood and nodded.

"Miss Meng is polite, it's just a trivial matter, it doesn't hurt if we wait." Gu Nansang stood in front of them, just blocking the sight of Gu Dongqing and the two, and they also turned around tacitly and stood under the tree, without throwing a glance at this side.

Meng Wanqing smiled gratefully at Gu Nansang.

Meng Wanyue was still crying quietly, lying in her sister's arms, her shoulders trembling.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from far and near.

Gu Nansang raised his eyes and saw that the man with a serious face was the head, with handsome and masculine facial features, although he was a businessman, he was not a weak person.

"Big brother!" Meng Wanqing called out in surprise.

Meng Wanyue also stood up, two lines of tears slid down, and she was crying.

The man grabbed the reins and leaped off his horse, his piercing gaze sweeping the ground to understand most of the situation.

The attendants in the back followed with great discernment, and carried away the coachman who had lost too much blood and had passed out.

"It's okay, the eldest brother is here, and he will definitely catch the thief, so you won't be afraid."

After briefly comforting his two younger sisters, he turned to Gu Nansang and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, girl." ”

Gu Nansang waved his hand: "It's just a gesture, since they are fine, we will go home." ”

She waved at Gu Dongqing.

Gu Dongqing and Mu Yao walked over.

The man said: "My name is Meng Kansong, a person from Linfeng City, and I have come here to do business. Today, the three of them took action to save my two younger sisters, and I should be grateful. ”

Mu Yao was not good at words, he just shook his head and said no, Gu Dongqing also returned the salute with a fist, and said: "Brother Meng is polite, we are just a hand, when we go out, we should only make friends." The two young ladies were frightened and needed to be placed as soon as possible, and the coachman also needed to be treated by a doctor, so we didn't bother much. ”

He turned to look at Gu Nansang: "Sister, it's not early, let's go back, my mother should be in a hurry at home." ”

Gu Nansang nodded obediently and hugged the white man on the ground to the cart.

Seeing this, Meng Kansong didn't want to say anything more, there were indeed more urgent things to do at the moment, so he thanked the three of them, said thank you again in the future, and went back to Anping City with the people.

With this incident, it was not early, Gu Nansang was so hungry that his stomach was flattened, and the three of them got into the car and rushed back to Lotus Village.

Gu Beihuai was already looking forward to it at the door, Xu Shi cooked at noon, and went to the field after eating in a hurry, and couldn't wait for them to come back, so he just kept the meal.

It's Zhou Qingxiao, he chopped wood in the courtyard, and studied with Gu Dongqing for a few days, he was already presentable, before Gu Nansang said in front of Wang Juanzi that he was powerless, but it was a lie.

"Cousin, cousin, you're back, and there's hot food on the stove." He waved his hand at Gu Nansang with a smile, his expression was natural and not pretentious.

This man really thinks this is his own home.

Gu Nansang has not dispelled his suspicions about him so far, but if he can't find any evidence, he is at home all day, helping with work, or tutoring Gu Beihuai in writing, and he can't find the slightest mistake.

The two went to the kitchen to eat, Gu Beihuai followed up, hugged Gu Nansang's arm with a smile, and said, "Sister, are you back, are you tired, are you thirsty?" ”

"I'm tired and thirsty, so don't stop me from eating." Gu Nansang held the bowl, picked up the vegetable leaves with his chopsticks, and pulled the rice quickly.

"......" Gu Beihuai let go of his hand, poured a glass of water, and stared at his sister eagerly.

Gu Dongqing looked funny, in the past, Gu Beihuai was always making trouble, Gu Nansang was a sister who relied on him and was used to him, but now it's good, this naughty guy also knows how to please his sister, it's really strange.

"Nansang, from tomorrow onwards, I won't go to Anping City with you." He quickly finished eating and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Gu Nansang thought for a moment and nodded: "I heard from my mother that the seedlings in the field are growing very well, and they will be planted in the next few days." I'm also familiar with Anping City, brother, don't worry about helping my mother. ”

My sister is so sensible, Gu Dongqing is also pleased, he smiled, stretched out his hand to push the dish in front of him a little, and said, "With Mu Yao here, I am very relieved." Although he is a little silent, he is very steady, and if you encounter something outside, you should rely on him more. ”

"Okay." Gu Nansang nodded obediently.

Gu Dongqing thought for a while, and then said: "Although you have an idea, but in the end, you are a girl, and it is still difficult to do heavy work." Tomorrow you go to set up a stall, and call it Shangfeng Bamboo together. ”

"Cousin? Forget it, he has amnesia, follow me out, maybe something, and I want to take care of him......"

"Don't always have prejudices about wind bamboo." Gu Dongqing was helpless, and gently touched Gu Nansang's hair, his eyes were gentle and soft: "Although it is indispensable to guard against others, I can also see it when we get along these days." Fengzhu is not a bad person, even if he really has an ulterior purpose, but if he wants to do it to us, why bother so much? What's more, our family is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing else to do, and he helps with a lot of work every day. ”

Gu Nansang couldn't refute it, and he knew that the eldest brother was right, but he always had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, and he couldn't say why.

Hearing Gu Dongqing say this, he had to nod his head and agree.

After the two finished talking, Gu Nansang's meal was finished, Gu Beihuai didn't interject, and he didn't even make a fuss when he said that he would go to Anping City. Seeing that my sister finished eating, she hurriedly served a bowl of tea.

Gu Nansang and Gu Dongqing glanced at each other, and they both felt a little funny.

"You naughty man, what's your idea?" Gu Dongqing patted Gu Beihuai's head lightly.

Gu Beihuai rubbed his forehead and flattened his mouth and said, "You guys haven't finished talking......"

He blinked, hugged Gu Nansang's arm again, and said with a smile: "Sister, the beginning of next month is the day of the Half Moon Mountain Temple Fair, you can take me to take a look!" ”

Half Moon Mountain is a mountain south of Anping City, there is a nunnery on the mountain, called Half Moon Temple, and there is a Buddhist temple, called Hakugetsu Temple. The Meng family sisters rescued by Gu Nansang today are returning from the Half Moon Nunnery.

There are festivals all the time, but the ones that are held at Mt. Banwol are only held twice a year, and not only are there vendors, but also the temples and temples send out processions. Many good men and women will go to pray for blessings, and it is very lively.

"I've heard that there will be dragon dances and lions at that time!" Gu Beihuai's eyebrows danced: "Also, the Half Moon Nunnery will choose a little girl to play Guanyin Bodhisattva!" ”

Gu Nansang smiled: "Really? Whose little girl is it? ”

"......" Gu Beihuai felt that his sister always liked to bully him now.

"Okay, go for the endorsement." Gu Dongqing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "You have been very well-behaved recently, I can let you go, but don't waste your studies." After the autumn harvest, you will go to the school to study with the master, and if you are angry next year, you will try to take the children's examination. ”

Gu Beihuai cheered and ran out.

Gu Nansang looked at his back as he ran away, thoughtful.

There are five people in the family, and it costs money to eat and dress, these are secondary, and the key is that Gu Beihuai wants to study. People in the village who have a little extra money will choose to let their children go to school, but they only recognize a few words, and there are few who really want to take the exam.

The Gu family is different, and with Gu Congzhi's teachings in front, it is natural to try it. Gu Dong is young and old, and he has no intention of studying, only Gu Beihuai is left as a man, although his family is poor, he really can't waste his studies.

Gu Nansang opened his hand, looked at his tiny fingers, and felt that the road ahead was long.
