Chapter 249: The Journey of the Nine Peaks (3)
Gu Xiyan didn't want to stay here for a moment.
When she returned to the house, she immediately instructed Liu Mei'er: "Quick, go and call the little girl named Julan, and we will rush back to Biyuan." ”
Liu Mei'er said strangely: "What's wrong with you......"
"Nothing!" Gu Xiyan said seemingly relaxedly, "We have also drunk the holy water, and the little girl has also helped, what are you staying here for?" ”
Liu Mei'er always felt that Gu Xiyan's attitude was a little strange, but she couldn't say why, and her eloquence had always been not as good as Gu Xiyan's, so she naturally nodded obediently.
Duan Yingluo quietly asked her, "Could it be an acquaintance?" ”
Gu Xiyan naturally had nothing to hide from her, and nodded lightly.
Duan Yingluo groaned: "Do you want to inform Grandpa Guo......"
"No, no, no......" Gu Xiyan subconsciously refused.
Such a young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heroic posture, and generous, but he is Gu Baozhang's prostitute, see you today, handsome and more handsome, hearty than before, and heroic than before, that is after how much experience to polish...... Why bother to let these humble struggles become phantoms in an instant because of your own words.
"No, no, no, don't tell Qi Maosheng...... I have my own ideas! Gu Xiyan emphasized again with a serious expression.
Duan Yingluo nodded, and Liu Mei'er, who went out and lost the incense money, listened to the end of the note and said with a smile: "Don't tell Grandpa Guo about something?" ”
Gu Xiyan glanced at Duan Yingluo. smiled: "It's today...... lest he be made to laugh. ”
Liu Mei'er nodded seriously and said, "Exactly...... I didn't tell the prime minister either...... I'm afraid he'll blame me for bringing you here......"
Gu Xiyan saw that Liu Mei'er was no longer pursuing it, put on a hat, and said with a smile: "Let's go!" ”
"Hmm!"
Liu Mei'er and Duan Yingluo also wore hats, and everyone went out in a row. Gu Xiyan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and before Liu Mei'er could retract his feet, his body hit Gu Xiyan's back, and Gu Xiyan stumbled. He said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?" ”
"You stopped suddenly...... Liu Mei muttered dissatisfiedly, but found that Gu Xiyan was looking straight in front of him, not talking to her at all.
Liu Mei'er followed Gu Xiyan's gaze and looked over. I saw that the handsome little priest I had seen at Priest Bai was looking at Gu Xiyan with flickering eyes.
The little priest's gaze was a little wrong...... What a faux pas...... Liu Mei'er thought in a daze, but Duan Yingluo vigilantly took a few steps forward to block in front of Gu Xiyan.
Guiguan looked at Duan Yingluo, who was like a great enemy, smiled bitterly, and said softly, "Mrs. Qi." I have a few words to tell you, I don't know if it's convenient for you! ”
Gu Xiyan stood behind Duan Yingluo. He didn't plan to come forward: "Priest Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it here." ”
Gui Guan looked at the cautious expression on Gu Xiyan's face and couldn't help laughing.
She was still the same as many years ago, and she would run away when she encountered something dangerous.
Thinking of this, his handsome face suddenly glowed with a brilliance as bright as the sun.
Gu Xiyan was stunned.
The night that changed the fate of both of them suddenly came back to her mind.
She remembers that night, she was holding a small blue cloth bag full of fine and soft cloth. Cautiously approach the second door. was ready to take advantage of the opportunity of the princess's sleeping to quietly leave the Gu Mansion. But when she arrived at the second gate, she found that the door was wide open. A handsome young man, standing by the door with a sinking face, saw her and complained, "Why did you come at this time?" ”
She looked at Guiguan's cold expression in the moonlight, and couldn't help but secretly cry bitter in her heart.
Although she helped Gui Guan, Gui Guan also used the news he knew in exchange for this reward, she had no intention of leaving with Gui Guan, and she did not tell anyone that she would leave Gu Mansion tonight...... It seems that his whereabouts during this period of time have fallen into the eyes of this young man named Guiguan.
Guiguan seemed to be unaware of her hesitation, and urged her: "Hurry up, I set up a carriage at Ermen, be careful that the horse was startled and was discovered." ”
There are carriages...... With speed as a guarantee, this time the plan to leave home has more chances to win.
Gu Xiyan decided not to insist on her opinion anymore, and she hurriedly walked towards Guiguan.
At this moment, someone suddenly came out of the shadows under the eaves on the side, and suddenly hugged Gu Xiyan's waist: "Let's go, let's go together......"
Gu Xiyan didn't look back, and stepped on the man's instep fiercely.
Guiguan shouted: "A hundred years, you ......"
Holding Gu Xiyan's hundred years trembling in pain, but he didn't mean to let go of his arm at all, he said in a fierce voice: "...... Take me with you, or I'll scream......"
Gui Guan only hesitated slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "Okay, let's go together!" ”
Bai Bai let go of his arm, Gu Xiyan turned around, and saw that he was also carrying a small cloth bag in his hand.
The three of them were silent and silently walked along the zigzag eaves of the Gu family to the second gate, Gu Xiyan and Bainian sat in the car, Guiguan sat on the wheel and shook the reins, and the group slowly walked towards the Chunming Gate.
At that time, the city gate was already under curfew, and they rested in a secluded inn next to the Chunming Gate.
The innkeeper looked at them with a puzzled look on his face and asked for directions.
Guiguan trembled and led the way, and the boss watched for a long time in the dim light.
Guiguan pointed to the hundred years and explained: "This is my little guy!" ”
The boss looked at them a few more times, and then called a young man to arrange two houses for them.
This is Gu Xiyan's first time staying at the guest house.
The smelly futon and the flickering candlelight. The shadows of the trees made her feel a little frightened, and she cowered in the quilt, looking around with her big eyes open, not daring to close her eyes.
But after a long time, she also felt a little confused.
It's a time when you seem to be asleep. She suddenly heard Gui Guan's cry for help from next door: "Second girl, second girl, quick, quick, ......" and then there was the sound of crackling and fighting.
In this silent night. All these sounds made Gu Xiyan feel frightened.
If you alarm the innkeeper at this time, will you be sent to the mansion......
Gu Xiyan thought of this and immediately jumped up. I ran next door with my shoes on.
The door was locked, but the window was half open, Gu Xiyan pushed the fan open, and saw that a hundred years were riding on Guiguan's body. Holding a brick in his hand, he smashed it towards Guiguan, who turned his head. The bricks slapped on the green brick floor on the side, making a dull "bang" sound.
By the moonlight outside the window, Gui Guan had already seen Gu Xiyan's face as white as jade, and he grabbed the hand holding the brick for Bai Nian and confronted Bai Bai, and shouted at Gu Xiyan: "...... He's going to kill me...... He wants to lead the way......"
When Gu Xiyan heard this, he was shocked.
She immediately climbed in through the window.
Hearing the movement, Centennial turned around, and Guiguan had already taken advantage of his distraction to hold Centenni's hand holding the brick and waved it towards Centenni.
The brick slapped on the side of Centenni's face, and Centennial let out a dull "um" sound. It fell softly on Guiguan's body.
Guiguan took the opportunity to turn over and sit up...... Gu Xiyan asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" How are you? ”
Guiguan gasped and shook his head. He said unsteadily: "No, it's okay." Look, a hundred years, what's going on? ”
Gu Xiyan ran over and kicked Hundred Years with his foot: "Hey, how are you?" ”
With Gu Xiyan's strength, he lay on his back on the ground as if he had lost weight for a hundred years.
Under the quiet moonlight, Gu Xiyan saw a mess next to the temples of the hundred years......
Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan only felt chills all over his body.
The panicked feeling seemed to return to her body, and she leaned towards Duan Yingluo.
The two of them put Bainian on the bed of the inn with all their strength, and then sat quietly and waited for the faint sound of the hinges of the Chunming Gate to sound.
They didn't dare to alarm the innkeepers, so they packed up their things in a panic and hurried out of the city.
Gu Xiyan wants to break up with Guiguan: "You now have a new identity and can start your new life." Let's say goodbye here! ”
Guiguan was stunned and said, "Aren't you with me...... I don't have anywhere to go, so I'll follow you! ”
Gu Xiyan's hands were sweaty.
For a guide, he lost his life...... In this seemingly ordinary blue cloth bag in her hand, she was wrapped in gold and silver jewelry worth thousands of taels...... This is enough to make Guiguan live for a lifetime!
She took a deep breath, albeit to look calm and confident.
"I'm religious, I'm going to church, are you going to go!"
Guiguan's eyes widened: "Girl, do you believe in Christianity?" That's a cult...... He said he would be burned to ashes when he died......"
Gu Xiyan was silent and smiled at Gui Guan.
Guiguan pursed his lips, and a resolute determination appeared between his eyebrows: "I'll go too!" As the saying goes, there is no place to live...... I don't believe it, my luck is so bad! ”
They followed the path to Fuchun County and soon found the dilapidated church.
They were received by the priest of the church, who provided them with food and rooms.
Gu Xiyan did the trick again, and secretly ran back to Shengjing the next day when the sky was pale.
Walking on the street, a man with a lewd face pulled her...... She scurried through the crowd and then applied a balm to her face in the corner of an alley, making a birthmark out of rouge.
I bought a small box, sealed all the jewelry inside, and used it as a pawnshop.
She stood on the threshold of the pawnshop, looking at the sea of people, but there was nowhere to go.
Turning around, she returned to the Gu Mansion...... Then she heard the words of Ding Yiming and his personal servant, and in desperation, she knocked on Aunt Qin's door. I just don't want to have any more contact with myself!
Guiguan's eyes sank, and he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Gu Xiyan: "...... At that time, I was in a hurry, and later I realized that there was a burden that was a hundred years old...... I know that this book is the handwriting of your ancestors, the only one in the previous dynasty, and it is extremely precious...... I was going to burn it...... But in the past few years, I have seen too much life and death, but I have taken the past lightly...... It was originally yours' and I'll give it back to you now...... I can also let go of my old grievances...... From now on, you and I will see you again, and there will only be Father Gu and Mrs. Qi......"
