Chapter 62: Gu Hantang's Memories

"Let's talk about this girl is still shy, you are a few of our grandfathers who grew up, and when you get married, a few of us are going to drink wedding wine!", several old people smiled even more, as if they couldn't wait.

"Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Luo, Grandpa Zhang, I'm still early, and I don't have that plan yet. Although Gu Tassel's face was slightly red, she still politely greeted several old men one by one, but she didn't lie, she and Yun Xiao had only known each other for a few days, and it was indeed early.

A few old neighbors don't know the inside story, Gu Hantang is very clear, Yun Xiao is a martial arts cultivator, maybe he is a genius of the head of the hidden family, in front of Yun Xiao, he still tries to maintain respect, "A few old brothers, guests from the house, let's talk about it another day, Old Tang, you lost a pot of Longjing last time you played chess, I haven't forgotten this!"

Gu Hantang said casually and changed the topic.

"Lao Gu, I haven't forgotten this, I have prepared all the tea, today I think you have a guest, otherwise I have to pull you to drink tea while killing a few plates!", the old man surnamed Tang was in high spirits when he talked about playing chess, but he knew that the old neighbor had guests coming, so he didn't keep it.

"Okay, then another day, I'll entertain the guests first today!", Gu Hantang and Gu Tasui waved their hands at a few old people, and went upstairs.

Gu Hantang's house is not very luxurious, but it is very well-behaved, there are a few flowers and plants on the balcony, growing in the sun, and the early spring brings a little greenery to the house.

"Sir, you're back!", a middle-aged woman was watering the flowers, watching Gu Hantang come back unharmed, a little overjoyed.

These days, Gu Hantang is not there, and the nanny Aunt Mei has been cleaning the house, and taking good care of the old man's flowers and plants, without any slackness.

Seeing that the begonias that he had transplanted by himself had bloomed into bright flowers, the knot in the old man's heart seemed to bloom like a flower bone, with a slight smile on his face, "Xiaomei, this flower is well raised in your hands, more careful than my bad old man!"

"What did you say, old man, I naturally have to take care of everything when you are not at home!", Aunt Mei, the nanny, looks like a simple rural person, dressed a little plainly, but Gu Hantang treats her very well, like a family member.

"Aunt Mei, my grandfather has guests coming, do you still have dishes at home, grandpa hasn't tasted my cooking skills for a long time!", Gu Tassel has lived with her grandfather since she was a child, and her relationship with Aunt Mei is also very good, and she knows that her grandfather has something to say to Yun Xiao, so she can't bother.

Aunt Mei was also overjoyed, and said happily: "There are vegetables at home, fresh, I know that the old gentleman may not come back, but the meat is insufficient, and I can't eat much by myself!"

"Okay, then let's go grocery shopping together, wait for me to change my clothes!", Gu Tassel was still wearing professional clothes, which was a little inconvenient, she simply walked into her room, ready to change into casual clothes, and then ran to the market.

Gu Hantang felt a little bit of homely warmth, his face smiled like a blooming begonia, he waved his hand to Yun Xiao and said, "Mr. Yun, let's go to the study for a while!"

"Okay!" Yun Xiao nodded and followed Gu Hantang into the study.

The study is also a simple style, there are four picture scrolls of plum bamboo and orchid chrysanthemum on the left, four big characters of "heaven rewards diligence" on the right, there is a four-person tea table in the middle, and there is a large ancient wooden bookshelf behind it, there are no expensive decorations, not like the furnishings that a person with a very high value has.

"Mr. Yun, please take a seat!", Gu Hantang personally boiled water and made tea, and his movements looked very skillful.

Yun Xiao had always had questions as soon as he walked over, but now only the two of them were naturally left without any scruples, "Old Gu, take the liberty of asking, do you old neighbors not know your identity at all?"

"Yes, I've been an old neighbor for decades, and I get along very well, so why bother raising my value to make myself unhappy, it's good. Gu Hantang didn't feel anything wrong, looked at Yun Xiao and continued: "I believe Mr. Yun has long had questions, why would I, the head of the five major families of Jinghai, live in this kind of place, the house is not simple, but I can't see the wealth, right?"

Yun Xiao didn't interrupt and nodded slightly, he really thought so.

"Because I wasn't a rich person before, I just made a fortune twenty years ago, and I've lived in this place for more than 30 years, and people don't want to move their nests when they're old!", Gu Hantang explained slowly, his eyes swept over the simple furniture, and everything was very intimate.

Yun Xiao roughly calculated the time, thought of something and asked, "Twenty years ago, wasn't it when the tassel was just born, I remember that she was a year older than me!"

"Yes, it was indeed the tassel that was just born at that time, you should have heard what my second brother said, the tassel is not my biological granddaughter!", Gu Hantang sighed, as if remembering a very distant but very clear memory.

Yun Xiao remembered what Gu Jianbin said in the conference room, and agreed, "Yes, he did swear that way, and his expression doesn't look like he is lying!"

Gu Hantang nodded slightly, and slowly began to recall, "Things have to start from twenty years ago, when I was just a businessman making medicinal materials, buying medicinal materials from all over the country and sending them to different regions. The eldest and second son are not optimistic about my business, and they run a restaurant in other places, and only my third son and his wife follow me to run the medicinal herb business. ”

"I always wanted to build my own brand, but I needed too much money, and it was really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but that year I went to Jinling alone to buy medicinal herbs, and met a couple who fled for their lives, which completely changed my fate. ”

"I remember that day, when there was thunder and lightning and heavy rain, I made an appointment with a medicine farmer to inspect the goods that day, so I went to go despite the bad weather and put on a raincoat to withstand the heavy rain. ”

"The medicine farmer's house is at the bottom of the mountain, there are mountain roads over there, the heavy rain is pouring down, the mountain roads are muddy and slippery and difficult to walk, and by the time I got to his house, the sun had already set. Fortunately, the medicinal materials of the medicine farmer are good, so I am very satisfied, I paid a part of the deposit on the spot, and I am ready to come to pick it up again the next day when the rain is clear. ”

"When I was about to leave, it was already half dark, not to mention people on the entire mountain road, not even a car, I walked out of the medicine farmer's house under the heavy rain, who knew that at this time two people suddenly slipped down the mountain!"

I hurriedly ran over, and looked closely at a man and a woman, the woman was still holding a baby in her hand, the child was wrapped in the quilt, without any damage, but I faintly felt that there was a layer of white light outside the quilt, very faint, protecting the child. ”

Looking at Gu Hantang's eyes that were trying to recall, Yun Xiao reached out and tapped the teacup, and suddenly the teacup was surrounded by a circle of white light, like a protective cover, Yun Xiao pointed to the teacup and asked, "Is this the case?"

"Yes, yes, it's exactly the same, but at the time I didn't know what it was, I thought I was dazzled, I didn't care about this detail, I couldn't help but go up and ask about the situation, at that time they were seriously injured, their white clothes cut the hole, full of mud and blood, they only said that they were chased and killed by the enemy, and they had no choice but to jump off the cliff to fight for a way out, I don't think they are bad people, so I had to temporarily take them to the medicine farmer's house. ”

As soon as he saw that the couple was seriously injured, he temporarily placed them, and he himself braved the heavy rain to go up the mountain to collect medicinal materials for the treatment of external injuries. ”

However, there was a noise outside the door without a cup of tea, I quietly lay on the door and eavesdropped, judging from their conversation, the person who came was likely to be the couple's enemy, and in desperation, I dragged the couple to hide in the cellar in the backyard of the medicine farmer's house, which was very hidden and the smell of medicine was very great, which could perfectly cover the smell of blood on their bodies, so the three of us did not dare to come out all night. ”

"However, after I sneaked out the next day, I found that the medicine farmer had not returned, and I searched for half of the mountain only to find out that he had been killed by someone on the mountain, and he was still holding a medicinal herb in his hand!"
