Chapter 20: Catching Scorpions

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty adhered to the Tang style, the defense between men and women was not so harsh, but such close contact between young men and women was still very criticized.

Cai Wen frowned, and when Gu Hai opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, Gu Bainiang had already raised her right hand to probe at Cai Wen's neck.

"Ahh Gu Hai saw the thing in her hand clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Eighteen Niang, throw it away..."

Gu Bainiang was holding a big scorpion in her hand, and at this time, the scorpion's feet moved around, and the scorpion's tail trembled.

A trace of anger flashed on Cai Wen's face, and he subconsciously glanced around.

"Eighteen mothers.." Gu Hai watched Eighteen Niang pinching the scorpion and not moving, and raised her hand to open the scorpion, but she was afraid of stinging her hand and being stung by the scorpion, it was not an ordinary pain, and it could even kill someone, not to mention that Gu Eighteen Niang was already cowardly, and she was recovering from a serious illness, Gu Hai raised her hand and was in a dilemma, almost crying.

"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Bainiang came back to her senses a little, and felt that her heart was pounding.

Fang Cai saw a scorpion crawling on Cai Wen's collar, she held her breath, her mind was blank, but she only remembered that in her previous life in the Shen family's pharmacy, a few ill-intentioned young men used scorpions to scare her, and the kind old master comforted her.

"Don't be afraid, scorpions rely on scorpion tails, you do this, pinch the scorpion tail, they are not scary at all." The master smiled and demonstrated to her.

At this moment, Gu Bainiang's mind clearly appeared in the master's hand, and she did what she did, but she didn't expect it to really happen.

Looking at the scorpion swaying in her hand, Gu Bainiang was also frightened, and pinched the scorpion with her hand, not because she was bold, but because she didn't know how to throw it for a while.

"Eighteen Niang..."Gu Hai looked at her with a pale face, and gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the scorpion tail.

If a scorpion stings itself, it won't sting its sister.

"Don't touch it!" Cai Wen snorted.

Gu Bainiang was also startled, took a step back, and dodged Gu Hai's hand.

Cai Wen's face was gloomy, he looked at the scorpion, and once again instructed: "Don't let go and throw it, it will sting." ”

Gu Bainiang pinched the scorpion tail at this time, and if she let go at will, she was afraid that she would not move as fast as the scorpion tail.

What can I do? Gu Hai's face turned red, and he raised his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, just sting me..."

Cai Wen raised his hand to stop him.

"That's my sister!" Gu Hai's stubborn temper came up, and he glared and shouted, fortunately, he didn't say that it was all you who caused trouble with the unlucky ghost, but the meaning on his face was similar.

Cai Wen glanced at him, didn't speak, reached out and untied a sachet hanging from his waist, and before the two brothers and sisters could react, he quickly covered the scorpion tail with the mouth of the bag, "Let go." ”

With his voice, Gu Bainiang instantly let go of her hand, and the scorpion fell into the sachet, squirming again and again, helplessly blocked by the cloth bag.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Put it on the ground, I'll trample it to death." Gu Hai said.

Cai Wen shook his head and did not move.

"You keep this thing..."Gu Hai said puzzled, pointing to the sachet he was carrying.

Gu Bainiang pulled his sleeve at this time, preventing him from speaking again.

"Scorpions are also medicinal herbs, and they are very valuable." She said with a grin.

Gu Hai couldn't cry or laugh, looking at his sister's pale little face, worried and afraid, he threw away Cai Wen's scorpion and ignored it.

"Thank you." Cai Wen said to Gu Eighteen Niang.

"With a show of hands, Cai Gongzi doesn't need to be polite." Gu Bainiang was busy returning the gift.

This is really a gesture, Cai Wen couldn't help but have a smile on his lips when he heard this, the smile dissipated in an instant, and he raised his head and was expressionless.

"Senior Brother Cai, there are many snakes and insects here, so don't stay here for a long time." Gu Hai reminded with palpitations.

Cai Wen nodded and said thank you, but did not walk away.

After making this scene, Gu Hai was not in the mood to talk to him anymore, so he pulled Eighteen Niang to say goodbye.

Watching the brother and sister walk away, a trace of anger appeared on Cai Wen's expressionless face.

"Who is it?" He spoke suddenly.

"The subordinates are incompetent..."A voice suddenly appeared in the air, and with this voice, a person flashed out of the bamboo bushes.

Cai Wen looked at the person in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed on his gloomy face.

So, he didn't see who did it? To send such a master?

Saying that he is alive now is a greater threat to others.....

A slight smile appeared on the young man's face, and his gaze cast into the distance, where the brother and sister were looking back.

This time it was a blessing!

"There you go." He threw the sack with the scorpion in his hand.

"Yes." The person in front of him didn't raise his head and stretched out his hand to catch the sachet accurately, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Gu Hai and Gu Bainiang walked a long way before they started talking.

"Eighteen Niang, don't be like this next time!" After walking a few steps away, he said with a bit of reproach.

Gu Bainiang had already regained her composure and responded with a smile.

"Hey, by the way, how did you have the good luck to catch it, the scorpion didn't sting you?" Gu Hai was a boy after all, and he was very interested in this kind of adventurous game, so he asked curiously.

Gu Bainiang smiled and stretched out her hand to demonstrate to him.

"From the book again?" Gu Hai learned from her a few times, and said with a smile, "You read a lot of weird books." ”

"I don't have to take exams, so I naturally have to read more weird books to be interesting." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

As the brother and sister spoke, they looked back again and saw that Cai Wen was still standing under the bamboo, but there was one more person next to him talking.

How could a scorpion climb on him?

The brother and sister couldn't help but glance at each other, but they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Brother..."Gu Bainiang said.

"It's okay," Gu Hai interrupted her and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Cai is a person....en... It is... He has offended a lot of people, and it must have been those naughty tricks on him..."

Gu Bainiang remembered that in her previous life, when her brother went to the clan study, he was often brought back with a turtle's note pasted on his back, compared to that, the trick that Cai Wen encountered was really more powerful, if he stung, he would have to suffer.

I don't know how to offend people, people want to fix him like this, Gu Bainiang couldn't help but look back again, Cai Wen and that person had already walked away and disappeared, and there were only bamboo bushes swaying in the wind in the open space.

"Brother, where is this Senior Brother Cai from?" She asked curiously.

Looking at his demeanor, he wouldn't be like them in his previous life, right?

"I don't know if it's from Wanquan County." Gu Hai replied casually, ".. He is very knowledgeable and has a good temper..."

He grinned, as a scholar, he shouldn't talk about right and wrong behind his back.

"....A well-educated person always has a little temper." Gu Hai smiled and stuck out his tongue with a bit of playfulness.

Good learning? It seems that there is no champion named Cai Wen in ten years.

"Brother will learn well in the future, it's better not to have a temper, sister, I don't want to follow you all day long to help you catch scorpions.." Gu Banniang covered her mouth and smiled, and threw it away and didn't think about it anymore.

Gu Hai also laughed and scratched her nose, no matter what, today is really worth being happy about.

When he returned home and heard him enter the Ming Hall, Cao cried with joy and pulled Gu Hai to offer incense in front of his father's tablet.

"Mother, it's not worth anything, there will be more happy things in the future." Gu Hai said, kowtowing in front of his father's tablet.

"Well, yes, you're all good boys." Cao Shi pulled a child in one hand, choked up, and smiled as he spoke, "Mother made you lotus meatloaf, let's be happy today..."

"Mother, what else is there to be happy?" Gu Hai asked curiously.

Cao Shi told Gu Baniang about Gu Ba Niang, Zhou Shopkeeper and Peng Yizhen, "Your sister's medicine has a market, and her hard work these days is not in vain." ”

Gu Hai was silent for a moment when he heard this, and looked at his mother and Gu Bainiang and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Gu Bainiang saw his strange appearance and hurriedly asked.

"I'm wondering, does this Peng Yizhen have a holiday with Shopkeeper Zhou?" Gu Hai said.

Gu Bainiang looked at him with some surprise, although his brother had read a lot of books, but his inner temperament was a stunned young man, otherwise in his previous life, he would not have angrily stopped studying because of the ridicule of several clan children, and he would not have crashed into the trap set by others regardless of his mother's insults, not only did he not take revenge, but he put himself in.

"How could he be so kind to take his sister's medicine?" Gu Hai continued, his thick brows furrowed.

"Your sister's medicine is good, besides, he was originally sold...."Cao Shi smiled, stroking his son's brow, "You think too much, we orphans and widows have nothing, and people don't have to calculate our ....."

"Sister's medicine.." Gu Hai frowned and said, how can it be so good? It's only been a few days, so it's worth risking the consequences of offending Shopkeeper Zhou?

"Mother, now it's just that we are orphans and widows, and we have no relatives to protect us, so we have to beware of people calculating us." He said solemnly.
