Chapter Thirty-Six: The Man May Know Her Identity
After Gu Zijiu summoned Jiang Jiuyuan, he wanted to go back to rest under the pretext of being tired, while Jiang Jiuyuan was busy preparing to mine cold mines and secretly recruit excellent blacksmiths according to what she said, and he also agreed to her clumsy excuse at first glance.
As a star who was full of energy from morning to night, how could Gu Zijiu get tired so quickly.
Sure enough, after leaving the Twelve Divisions, Gu Zijiu pretended to walk the same way for a while and then suddenly changed direction and walked towards the open space where he had just stayed.
They hadn't been gone for too long, and the man had fallen into the backwater again, and under normal circumstances, she should have been able to catch him red-handed.
The time I was here was not long, except for Jiang Jiuyuan's group of people, I didn't know anyone, but this strange man, when he saw her, he showed such a frightened look, he didn't have to think about it, he knew who she was.
Maybe the original owner didn't work out, and that was a good thing that the man did.
Gu Zijiu thought about it and ran faster.
But when she got to the place, where was there still someone in the backwater, if it weren't for the black water splashing that stained the nearby land, she wouldn't have seen that a man was almost scared to death when he saw her just now.
Gu Zijiu squatted by the backwater, frowned and looked at it for a while, then suddenly stunted and looked towards the mass grave behind him.
They came to the clearing for the experiment of the short crossbow, so what about this man.
Is it for mass graves?
Gu Zijiu raised her eyebrows and walked towards the mass grave, and in order to be able to walk freely in it, she also picked up a branch from the ground.
There are hundreds of corpses piled up in the mass grave, most of them are discarded at will, as the years go by, the faces are naturally very hideous, some of them are ugly, and they are even staring at Gu Zijiu with a pair of protruding eyes, looking very infiltrating.
In particular, the atmosphere in the mass grave is different from other places, and even when the wind blows, it looks very gloomy.
Gu Zijiu stepped on a white bone, brushed aside the corpse on the ground with a branch, and looked around with a natural expression.
There are hundreds of corpses here, and if you want to find some clues about the man's coming, I'm afraid you will be looking for a needle in a haystack.
Gu Zijiu pursed his lips, and felt a little bored after looking for a long time, so he stepped on the back of one of the corpses and looked up.
Black pressed in one piece, nothing special.
It's just that if his purpose is a mass grave, maybe something special happened that makes him have to take the risk to come and check.
Since she was so sneaky, what she was looking for definitely wouldn't be on the outermost level. For the purpose of disguise, in order to disguise the identity, it will definitely be thrown in the innermost.
Gu Zijiu shook the branch and thought about it for a while, pouted in disgust, and then walked over the corpse towards the innermost dark place.
There are corpses and insects all over the place, making a "zizi" sound, such a desolate place, and in a mass grave, it is no wonder that Gu Zijiu is impatient.
"Huh."
I don't know how long I walked, but it was so long that Gu Zijiu had already broken the branches in half as a toy for fun, and only then did he tear a bright line from the darkness.
This bright line is hidden in the dark and it is not obvious, if it hadn't been in the dark for so long, I'm afraid that a sensitive Gu Zijiu might not have found it.
Gu Zijiu's eyes stared directly at the bright line, afraid that the line would suddenly disappear.
"Jade?"
Pulling apart the piles of corpses, enduring the unpleasant smell, Gu Zijiu took out a jade plaque with sludge from a large pile of mud, and took it in front of him with some confusion to take a closer look.
The jade is a good jade, and the big characters on it are engraved with a small seal with the word "Gu".
Gu Zijiu frowned, stroked the lines of the jade plate, and only felt that his head seemed to hurt a little.
She has no memory of her original owner since she woke up, and she has never studied it in detail, and if it weren't for the fact that the man today is too strange, she wouldn't have the intention of exploring her identity.
The jade card in front of her opened the gap in memory, and the memories poured out like a tide, and she had a headache and couldn't stand steadily, so she simply sat on the ground, covering her head with both hands, and there was no way to face the headache, so she could only let the memory invade.
How she has grown up over the years, how she has been killed, how she has become a beggar, memories keep flashing like a player, and her head is about to explode.
After a while, the memory finally stopped flooding, she sat where she was and rested for a while, and suddenly rolled up the sleeve of her left hand to her shoulder, and sure enough, there was a simple pattern on it that occupied most of her arm.
Gu Zijiu pinched the jade plate, stared at the dirty ground in front of him, and was silent for a long time.
"Gu family."
Gu Zijiu laughed mockingly, squinting at the high sun, and the broken aperture of light circled again and again, but it couldn't illuminate the mass grave.
It was such a dark breeding place that cost the life of this sixteen-year-old girl.
Gu Zijiu rested for a while, took the jade pendant back into his sleeve, glanced at the place where the jade pendant fell for the last time, and snorted lightly.
The other side.
Successfully escaped, the man who escaped by the backwater came to a compound in a panic, this compound is simple and huge, although it is in the capital, but it seems to be separated from the capital, a large number of people come and go, the man passes through the gate, and runs through the front hall, turns the corner, rolls over the long corridor that seems to have no end in sight, I don't know how long I run, and then I see the person I want to see.
The man had his back to the man and was offering incense to his ancestors, and the man did not dare to disturb at this time, so he could only wait outside in fear.
After waiting for a long time, when the man's legs were shaking and he could hardly stand, the man spoke, "Why are you so flustered?" ”
As soon as the man heard his question, he immediately knelt outside, trembling his body, and said in horror: "Big brother, she is still alive, she is still alive!" ”
When the man heard this, he turned his head in surprise, a long scar on his face stretched from his forehead to his chin, and he looked extremely terrible, but he was dressed elegantly, wearing a green shirt, not a brocade dress that was suitable for this mansion.
This person's temperament is like a weak scholar, except for the terrible scar, it is still quite clear, but the disgust when he speaks still greatly reduces his image.
"Impossible! How can there be any chance of survival after drinking the poison for more than three years. The man's face was cold, and he didn't believe the man's words at all, "My body was thrown into the mass grave by my own hands, but you said she was still alive?" ”
"But I really saw her!" The more the man spoke, the more frightened he became, and his words were already a little stumbling, "I wanted to get that thing as you told me, but ...... Can ......"
"To be dead is to be dead, and even if you see it, you must have been a lonely ghost for a long time." The man walked out of the ancestral hall and came into the sun, covering his eyes with his hands in disgust, "Even if it is a lonely ghost, if she rushes back, I can kill her again, as long as she still has a little brain, she will not appear again!" ”
The man looked at the ground, his hands were full of sweat, and with a light grab, he scratched out wet marks on the ground: "But I saw that she was not only alive, but also ...... Also ......"
"What else!"
The man was frightened by this impatient question, and immediately blurted out: "And with King Jin!" ”
"What!" That person didn't believe the man's words originally, but if it involved King Jin, then he couldn't slack off so easily.
The man stood in place and thought for a while, the two walnuts in his hand rolled quickly, and after a while, he said: "No matter whether that bastard is still alive or not, whether she really climbed the Jin Wangye, I can't let her come back to our Gu family alive!" ”
The man was tightened by the murderous aura in his tone, and hurriedly asked, "Then big brother, what do you mean......"
The man snorted coldly, turned his head and looked at the tablets in the ancestral hall again, one by one, representing the most powerful and capable people in their Gu family.
After a while, he commanded, "Figure out where she is now, and then ...... Kill her! ”
The man trembled and said in fear: "What if...... She's ......."
"No in case! When have the people of my Gu family ever been afraid of gods and ghosts! The man snorted disdainfully, "Even if it is, it's still so useless!"
The man didn't dare to resist his intentions at all, and when he saw that he didn't stop until he reached his goal, he wailed in his heart, so he had to respond.
