Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Strange Old Woman
When Gu Xiaowen woke up, the sunlight was so dazzling, a string of halos was strung in the air like colorful copper coins, Gu Xiaowen still retained the last memory of fainting, and felt that Yan Ping was still holding him, but no, it was just a handful of sand in his hand, and a handful of sand gradually turned into a beach. Gu Wanwen sat up suddenly, his whole body seemed to fall apart, and with a bang, Gu Wanwen fell on the beach again, there was no Yan Ping on the white and bright sand, Gu Wanwen was startled, and he was covered in cold sweat.
Yan Ping, Brother Yan, Gu Xiaowen shouted like this, and there was a crying tone in his voice. Brother Yan, Yan Ping.
There was a waterfall on his head, and Gu Xiaowen rushed down from this waterfall, and there was a deep pool under the waterfall. Gu Xiaowen rested for a while, accumulated some strength, and went down to the deep pool again, she hoped to find Yan Ping, but she was afraid to find him under this deep pool.
If Yan Ping can be found, Gu Xiaowen is willing to exchange everything he has for him. Gu Xiaowen struggled and climbed onto the beach again. Is Yan Ping really so heavy? Gu Xiaowen suddenly asked himself, he had only known him for more than ten days. It's just that every moment of the past ten days, the two have been together as long as a year, or longer, as if they had known each other in their previous lives. What a past life, this life is difficult to see again. Gu Xiaowen smiled. It's just that this smile is a little bleak.
Perhaps Yan Ping has not been washed under this waterfall, but has already washed to the shore. Or was arrested again by the people from the Poison Tomb Gate, Gu Xiaowen remembered that those evil sect members who chased them along the two sides of the strait seemed to see his father running and laughing on the shore, in fact, it was impossible to see clearly, but Gu Wanwen couldn't get rid of his father's smile in his heart, and that smile changed. Gu Xiaowen walked out of Tsing Yi City, and some hazy questions in her heart, in fact, she had been avoiding them, but now they are beginning to become clear.
Yan Ping did not die. Gu Xiaowen felt for no reason that he couldn't die, wasn't it just a big river full of dark rocks and turbulent water? Isn't it this treacherous rivers and lakes?
Gu Xiaowen suddenly felt that her body was bleeding, her left arm was bleeding, and her back was also bleeding, if it was said that her whole body was full of wounds, although it was a little exaggerated, it was only slightly exaggerated.
The fact is that in the Mudong River, she was bruised by those dark stones. Fortunately, there was no fatal wound, Gu Wanwen bandaged a few places indiscriminately, looked at the living corpse Yuan Dan, it was still there, Gu Wanwen was close to his body, this Yuan Dan is not afraid of water, Gu Wanwen suddenly wanted to eat these thirteen Yuan Dan together, if he ate it, he really like what Senior Kong said, like Daddy said, he can reach the infinite realm of legends, travel between ancient and modern times, or have peerless martial arts, maybe he can find Yan Ping.
Or, okay, if I can't find Brother Yan, I'll eat all of these Inner Dans and see what happens?
Gu Xiaowen walked along this small river, this is obviously a branch of the Mudong River, the scenery on both sides of the river is very good, it is so good that it is shocking and dazzling, it is better to have no scenery, it is a river flowing in the void.
In the scenery in front of her, an old woman was picking flowers, holding a bouquet of bright flowers in her hand, the bouquet of flowers was more gorgeous than the gorgeous scenery on both sides of the strait, when Gu Xiaowen only had the color of the bouquet left in his eyes, he beckoned to the old woman, the old woman saw it and walked over, Gu Xiaowen couldn't hold it anymore, and fell in this wild landscape.
When Gu Xiaowen woke up again, the old woman said, you have been in a coma for five days. Horseshoe flowers.
Gu Xiaowen asked, have you ever seen a young man? He was also washed by the river, about twenty years old, his eyes were a little big, but they were not very big Gu Xiaowen found that he couldn't depict Yan Ping's appearance, the appearance of an unforgettable person is actually the most difficult to describe, but there are some people who are related to one side, and they can also tell his appearance in detail. This became one of Gu Xiaowen's later life experiences.
The old woman said, "I don't see it, horseshoe flowers." The old woman laughed in a daze.
Gu Xiaowen turned his head and saw a bouquet of flowers in a broken vase of round-footed and thin-necked broken branches on the palm-sized window, which was the last bouquet he saw before he fainted, and the flowers had withered, indicating that he had really been in a coma for five days.
Why don't you add some water to the bottle? Gu Xiaowen asked, he didn't know why he asked like this, like Yan Ping, just said something inconsequential.
There is a big hole underneath the bottle. Horseshoe flowers.
Why did the old woman say 'horseshoe flower' after she finished speaking? Gu Xiaowen thought, as if the horseshoe flower was her name.
I don't call it a horseshoe flower, mother-in-law. Gu Xiaowen said.
"Oh, horseshoe flower, you're dizzy, you're my youngest daughter, the youngest daughter, once," the old woman's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Gu Xiaowen in horror, "Once, we were going to kill a monk from Youfang, and the monk didn't know when he broke free from the chain, so you went to chase him, but he fell into the river and was injured by the monk with a sword, you see, your injuries are not healed today." ”
I'm not your daughter, mother-in-law. Gu Xiaowen's eyes widened. I haven't killed any monks from the wandering side.
The old woman pointed to the flower, what kind of flower is this?
I do not know. Gu Xiaowen said.
The old woman laughed, the louder she laughed, and sure enough, it was not my daughter, alas, I was confused, my daughter had already died.
Gu Xiaowen was relieved at this time, and said You call me Gu Ping. By the way, why did you kill that monk, is he a bad person?
Very bad. The old woman bit her lip and frowned. I don't know why, from seeing this mother-in-law picking flowers to looking at her expression at this time, I always feel like a little girl's expression. It's just that she is so old and dirty, and in order to learn from the little girl, her expression is often exaggerated.
Do you know how bad he is? The mother-in-law tilted her head, squinted at Gu Xiaowen, put her finger on her lips, and said, That monk came here to spend the night, and he actually dropped the bottom of our vase. The old woman raised a finger and pointed to the filthy vase on the windowsill.
Are you going to kill him in this way?" Gu Xiaowen was taken aback. It's a ridiculous story. It's like the plot of a three-year-old child pretending to be a family. There is no doubt that this mother-in-law has a problem with her head.
Gu Xiaowen stopped talking and took a closer look at the layout in the room. The body hurts a lot, only two feet don't hurt, but numb. Gu Xiaowen tried to move his feet, as if something was holding his ankles.
Gu Qiaowen looked sideways at the gloomy room, it was not so much a layout as a stack, there were many filthy things piled up in the room, these things were no longer things, but became a diffuse smell, a musty smell. Gu Xiaowen looked at these pungent smells, thought about the weird little story just now, and tried to move her feet again, she finally understood that there were two iron chains on her feet, like Kong Jiusi, but Kong Jiusi's were four.
Gu Xiaowen hates the name horseshoe flower, it is cheesy and gray, and it is a little weird.
Horseshoe flower, I'll still call you horseshoe flower, but you're not my daughter, that's good, you can marry my son. Hee-hee, my family is going to have a happy event, hee-hee.
Gu Xiaowen wanted to try whether the chain on his feet was tightly tied and whether he could break free. Hopefully it's all just a prank.
Marry whom?
The chain on the foot is not a prank, there is no prank in this Jianghu, only real evil.
and my son.
Do you also have a son?
Hehe, my son is also called Horseshoe Flower.
What about him?
Who?
Your son?
I'm looking for something to eat, and I'm supposed to be back. The mother-in-law said, in the dark room, she built a pergola with her hands and looked out, as if the sun was piercing her eyes.
Mother-in-law, Gu Xiaowen said, my feet seem to be chained.
The horseshoe flower tied to you, and he said that you are not the horseshoe flower, and he wants to marry you. The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, as if she had finally solved a big problem.
Gu Xiaowen's problem is big. Married to a man named Horseshoe Flower in this weird dark room?
Gu Xiaowen began to try hard to break free from the chain, but her mother-in-law didn't stop her, just watched. Unable to break free, Gu Xiaowen propped himself up and looked at the two rusty chains, biting his pale ankles and many rusty times in the dark room. Naturally, it is impossible to break free.
Mother-in-law, I'm about to marry your son, I want to change my clothes and look beautiful when I visit the church.
When the mother-in-law heard this, her face lit up, she clapped her hands and laughed, "Okay, okay, I can see the bride wearing new clothes and visiting the church." The mother-in-law tiptoed to get the clothes.
Isn't it pretty? This is what I wore when I got married. Hey, there's a mouse bitten in a hole here. The mother-in-law has some regrets.
There is also time, and time has also left many tears on this garment, a strange garment. Gu Qiaowen took it very happily, and wanted to untie the chain so that he could change into the bridal clothes, Gu Xiaowen said, If your son Horseshoe Flower comes back and sees me wearing such beautiful clothes, he will be very happy.
The mother-in-law was also very happy. But she wouldn't untie the chain anyway. She said that she once unchained a passer-by who was staying overnight, but the man ran away and the horseshoe came back and hit her in the mouth. Gu Xiaowen was shocked when he heard this, it seemed that they had killed a lot of people.
I can't run, I'm going to marry the horseshoe flower. Gu Xiaowen said happily that he seemed to want to get married.
The mother-in-law suddenly changed her face and said angrily: "You little slut, do you think I don't know, if you want to change into new clothes, you want to trick me into untying the chain for you, you can kill me, you can run away, I have seen a lot of people like you." Suddenly, the old woman seemed to be a different person, speaking in an old-fashioned manner, and her coherence was clear.
