Chapter 168 Down

Gu Hai looked at his mother and sister, who were tired from the long journey, and felt happy and self-blamed, while Cao looked at his son, who had not seen his tall and thin son for more than half a year and was slightly haggard due to hard work, he was relieved and heartbroken.

The Nanzhang County Ya is slightly dilapidated, and the courtyard used for family living is small but obviously carefully cleaned up.

The servants were busy laying out, and the mother and son sat around the table in the front hall and ate and talked.

Although there are not many dishes, the color and flavor are good.

"Mother, this is made by the best restaurant in the county, it is a feature here, can you taste it?" Gu Hai kept getting up to make dishes, "Eighteen Niang, this is fried quail, you like to eat it the most...."

Cao Shi ate a few bites, looked at his son and daughter sitting opposite, and sighed with full feelings, "We sit together as a family, and the coarse tea and light rice are better than the gods." ”

"Come, mother, please take a sip of fairy wine." Gu Bainiang smiled, raised her wine glass at her, and raised her hand to drink first.

"Eighteen Niang, you are not allowed to eat and drink, and your body is still ...."Cao Shi said immediately.

Gu Hai's expression froze and looked at Gu Bainiang.

"What's wrong with my sister?" His gaze roamed over Gu Bainiang's face.

"Oh, it's okay," Gu Banniang smiled and put down the wine glass according to her words, "The previous paragraph was too tiring, and Peng Yizhu's guy said something to scare his mother...."

Gu Bainiang's poisoning was concealed from the Cao family.

There is no solution to this poison, but if you don't touch oil refining, it won't induce injury, as long as you avenge your master, even if you don't have a corner of your skills, Gu Bainiang doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that Cao's will not care if she hears it, if she knows, I'm afraid that she will have to worry about her heart and lungs for the rest of her life.

Sometimes, not knowing is a kind of happiness.

In the past six months, their brother and sister have exchanged letters frequently, but they have the same habit, that is, to report good news but not bad news, not to mention that their sister's temperament Gu Hai also knows, so they don't believe her understatement at all.

But he didn't ask again, if his sister didn't say it, she had a reason not to say it, she was never a willful person, and it was because of this that he felt even more distressed.

The atmosphere at the wine table suddenly became a little gloomy.

Gu Bainiang noticed it, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Our family is finally reunited, isn't this how the fairy is happy? ”

Cao Shi and Gu Hai both laughed.

"The conditions here are not good, my mother and sister are wronged...."Gu Hai said with a little apology.

"Isn't it worse than when we were in Immortal County?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Cao said, glancing at his son with disgust.

What's more, the future was still unknown at the beginning, and that state of mind was heaven and earth compared to this time.

In just two years, their lives have changed so much, the mother and son thought of this at the same time, and looked up at each other.

"I said that when we are together as a family, life will get better and better." Gu Banniang said, drinking tea instead of wine.

Cao Shi and Gu Hai also ate wine.

"The most important thing is that we are together as a family." Cao Shi said softly, his voice trembled slightly, and the impact of his daughter's words never disappeared.

"Yes," Gu Banniang sniffed lightly, her eyes were slightly red, and she repeated again, "Yes, this is the most important thing, I almost forgot..."

Her voice faded down, and the last word was inaudible.

"The New Year, let's celebrate the New Year together as a family, this is a great joy." Gu Hai smiled, patted the table, poured himself wine, and poured it for Cao's again, "Come, for another year, for this second year, let's drink together." ”

The word second year shocked both Cao and Gu Bainiang, but he didn't expect that the matter that had been deliberately avoided by everyone all avoided, he said it so easily.

"No matter what tomorrow brings, we live in the present." Gu Hai's expression was bright, he said with a smile, and raised his wine glass, "Live happily and happily, live happily without regrets, this is worth it, it doesn't matter if it is born tomorrow or ....."

He finally swallowed the dead word, and it was better not to say it during the New Year.

"Yes." Gu Bainiang raised the teacup, "Brother is right. ”

Cao Shi looked at his daughter and then at his son, his eyes glistening with tears, and he also raised his wine glass.

The three of them touched each other and drank it up.

Nanzhang's days are slowly passing like this, here is smaller than Xianren County, coupled with the ravages of the golden soldiers' iron hooves for many years, sparsely populated, since the two sides stopped fighting, and once again drew the boundary and system, this more than half a year of cultivation, gradually has a little vitality.

Cao's son is satisfied, every day at home with the servants to arrange three meals, or with the visiting squire women, the life is leisurely and contented, compared to the Cao family who does not go out, Gu Bainiang prefers to go out for a stroll, and does not want to be accompanied by Gu Hai, who is busy with official business, but only takes a maid, driven by Ah Si, and walks at will.

"Miss is going to do it?" Gu Hai was a little curious, and one day he took advantage of his free time to call Ah Si and ask.

Gu Bainiang and the Cao family went to a squire's house for a banquet.

"Didn't do it either." Ah Si scratched his head.

"Didn't do it?" Gu Hai said with a smile.

Shopping? Gu Banniang has never had this habit, and there is nothing to visit in this small place, "Where have you been?" ”

"Go anywhere." Ah Si said, frowning and recalling bitterly, "At the foot of the mountain, by the river, outside the city gate..."

Gu Hai frowned, this is not right, my sister is not right like this....

"Do you want to take medicine?" No mistakes, no word skipping. He asked.

Ah Si shook his head, "No, I just don't do it...."

"Huh?" Gu Hai asked.

"Just sit down, don't do it, look...."Ah Si stammered as he described.

"See? See? Gu Hai frowned.

"Look at the sky, look at the mountains, and sometimes look at the withered grass..."Ah Si said, pointing to the sky and the earth.

The weather was fine, the afternoon sun was warm in the small courtyard, and the servants next door were washing the bedding and clothes, and there were bursts of laughter.

Gu Bainiang was lying on the rocking chair, wrapped in a thick cloak, squinting at the blue sky, her body swaying lightly with the rocking chair, her face was a little lazy.

With such a look, it was the first time Gu Hai had seen it on Gu Bainiang's face.

She had been in this posture for nearly an hour, really looking at the sky and the clouds, Gu Hai couldn't help but raise her head again, and also looked at the sky.

"Eighteen Niang." He walked over slowly, pulled over a bench, and sat down opposite Gu Bainiang.

Gu Banniang raised her eyes and smiled at him, and called out to her brother.

"Let's talk about it." Gu Hai looked at her and whispered.

Let's talk about it, why did you suddenly decide to come here, why did you suddenly change your whole person, and what is going on with your body?

Gu Bainiang had a faint smile on her face, but a line of tears slowly flowed from her eyes.

Gu Hai's heart sank, but he didn't ask, just stared at her like that.

"This is already much better," Gu Bainiang smiled and raised her hand to wipe away her tears with her cuffs, "Brother, don't be afraid, I don't cry often anymore." ”

"It's not a shame to cry, it's not a shame to cry, it's good to cry and laugh." Gu Hai said, reaching out to help her wipe away the tears on the other side.

Gu Banniang took a deep breath, pondered for a moment to avoid the poisoning of her body, and slowly said Shen Anlin's matter.

When he heard the unknown dark tide in Shen Anlin's house, Gu Hai's face changed.

Those are all close relatives, and they are fighting each other with their lives, and under the laughter of glory and wealth, mothers, sons, filial piety, brothers, friends, and brothers, it is a life and death fight.

"It turns out that everything is a joke...."Gu Bainiang muttered to herself, "It's ridiculous, it's sad, it's sad, it's sad, I, Gu Bainiang, I used to live a lifetime blindly....No wonder the old monk wanted me to put it down, and asked me to open my eyes and take a closer look...."

For his own uncle, Shen Anlin can not hesitate to kill him, and he can not hesitate to persecute his own nephew Zhao, these people are so determined that they are chilling, absolutely inhumane, such people believe that death ends everything, in the eyes of such people, there is no innocent at all, only friend and foe, and there is no mercy in cutting grass and roots.

"Just for such a person, I also had the idea of dying together...."Gu Bainiang laughed at herself, "For such a person, I didn't hesitate to give up my life again, and I gave up my mother and brother who were easy to get, I was full of hatred, life is better than death, but I found that everything I hated was out of reach, it turned out to be just torturing myself..."

Gu Hai looked at his sister, his eyes were full of pity, and he suddenly smiled.

"Eighteen Niang, you put it down, isn't this very good?" He said with a smile, "What's more, it's not too late, it's only the second year, and we still have to go through the third, fourth, and fifth years..."

Gu Bainiang also smiled, and nodded with the swing of the rocking chair, "Yes, I put it down, from now on I want to live well, eat and have fun..."

"Oh...."Gu Hai stretched his voice and smiled narrowly, "So you go to bed early and get up late now, bring wine to watch the scenery and enjoy the wind and wild cranes..."

Gu Banniang laughed, she knew that her brother must have seen the changes in herself.

"Yes," she smiled, squinting at the rocking chair, "I've decided to enjoy life, eat, drink, and spend money like dirt, earn one and spend two, so brother, it's up to you to support your family in the future." ”

"Enjoying life doesn't conflict with earning money to support your family, sister, don't say that...."Gu Hai pretended to be serious, "Hurry up, there are four or five letters from Dayousheng Urging Medicine, I have collected all the money, you can't pick a child...."

The laughter sounded in the courtyard and reached the ears of the Cao family next door, and she glanced at this side with a satisfied look as she sat picking fabrics.

The days passed like flowing water, the snow melted in a blink of an eye, the earth warmed up, and it seemed that overnight people changed out of thick cotton robes and put on jackets.

"Am I gaining weight?" Gu Bainiang looked left and right in the mirror.

The little maid helped her tie her sideburns, and replied, "Where is the fat?" That's what I'm called fat. ”

As she spoke, she pinched her round cheeks.

Gu Banniang's smile in the mirror spread.

"Miss, where are we going to play today?" The little maid asked, her face excited.

"Say it." Gu Bainiang smiled and stood up.

Another maid came over with her coat in her hand, untied her shoulders, and put it on her.

"Tell Ah Si and they will go to the river to spearfish together," the maid said in a hurry.

"That's boring, I've been there many times...."The maid who combed her hair waved her hand, looked up at the spring breeze outside, her eyes lit up, "It's better to fly a kite"

It's time to fly a kite again, Gu Bainiang looked out the window thoughtfully.

"Miss, your letter." A maid walked in with two letters.

Gu Bainiang glanced at her hand, and recognized one of them at a glance as Xin Chaoyang's handwriting. The other is a bit raw.

She reached out and picked up the letter that believed in Chaoyang, opened it and saw that a dried petal was falling.

This is? She couldn't help pinching it, and then looked at the letter, in addition to listing the medicine to be concocted simply and clearly as always, and another sentence that the gardenia had bloomed, and sent it to Gu Niangzi to appreciate.

A smile appeared at the corner of Gu Bainiang's mouth, and then took another letter to see that the handwriting seemed to have been written in a hurry, or the writer was so excited that he held the pen unsteadily, and he swept it at a glance, and couldn't help but change color slightly.

Hong Bin, the king of Baohetang, was the first to ask for help, and the words first broke into his eyes.
