Next to a soft couch with a red brocade mat, there is a round wooden basin. There was a girl with wet red eyes and a heartache on her forehead, washing her handkerchief in the hot water, and her hands were burned red, and she still didn't know it. On the couch slew, a young man with handsome eyebrows, his face was already very pale, and his hands and feet were even colder, almost like a new corpse that had just cooled. There are many people behind the "brother ......" girl, including Su Bailing, the housewife of the Gu family, Yucui, the personal maid who has been with the young man since childhood, the housekeeper and bookkeeper in a black robe, the younger brother Gu Mingshui, the old bald doctor who has not closed his eyes all night, and the subordinates of the family, long-term and short-term workers...... Anyway, everybody's here.

Only the true head of the Gu family, Gu Shupang, the official of the Wupin River of Jiangzhou Baoyun River, is not here at the moment.

"The water is cold again, heat up the water!"

There was a sound of water. The heat is steaming.

It turned out that the handsome young man lying on the couch was the second son of Gu Shu, Gu Xin, a dignified Jiangzhou Wupin River Road. The girl who washed the handkerchief with hot water next to him and warmed his hands and feet was his sister-in-law Gu Yanyan for many years.

Nine days ago, a sudden heavy rain fell in the southeast direction of Jiangzhou, and the rain curtain was connected into the sea, so the Baoyun River burst into a big flood, and the water broke the embankment, flooding the river bank for tens of nearly 100 miles in one fell swoop, causing a major flood. The river demons in the river were excited by the great flood, and they took the opportunity to rush out of the river to bring disaster to the county. The small courtyard along the river where the second son, Gu Xin, lived alone, was attacked by a big river demon at night, and almost all the living people in the entire courtyard were slaughtered by the river demon!

That night, Gu Xin's two personal maids Yucui and Hua Hong, who accompanied him from childhood to adulthood, among which Yucui stayed up late to make soup for Gu Xin in the back kitchen, and escaped death, but Hua Hong suffered and died on the spot. And Gu Xin himself was also attacked by the river demon, and when the officers and soldiers in the county rushed to repel the river demon, he was completely dying.

The river embankment collapsed and flooded nine days ago, and the small courtyard where Gu Xin lived alone was attacked by the river demon two days ago. Now Gu Xin has been rescued and is lying in a coma in the Gu family's mansion.

The old pharmacist with sparse hair and bald head saw the injury and shook his head again and again: "This flesh and skin does not hurt, but it hurts the internal organs, which is more difficult to treat than the flesh and skin!" There is no way to return to the sky, even if you enter the imperial capital, it will be difficult to get back the life of the second young master if you find an imperial doctor! ”

The old pharmacist said it blindly, it was rumored that the imperial doctor in the imperial capital had a magic skill that reached the sky, and the dead could be saved even if they were afraid, so why couldn't they save Gu Xin? But the true meaning of the old pharmacist's words was understood by everyone around him, how could the imperial doctor used by the emperor come to save Gu Xin. In other words, Gu Xin is hopeless!

The family didn't close their eyes for two days and two nights, Gu Xin's mother-in-law and the housemother of the Gu family also went to ask for a big Bao Dan, and barely hung Gu Xin's life for two days.

Gu Xin's sister-in-law Gu Yanyan bit her red lip secretly. No one knew that she had already made up her mind in her heart, if Brother Yi Gu Xin died today, she would simply not live! She kept warming Gu Xin's hands and feet with hot water, and the water temperature was very hot, completely scalding her hands. It can be a little painful to be scalded...... Where can compare to the sourness in her heart.

"Smoke! The water is not cold yet, you don't need to add boiling water! ”

Gu Yanyan didn't listen, she looked at Gu Xin on the bed with stupid eyes, her skin was dead, and tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes. She had a thousand words hidden in her heart, and they all suddenly burst into foam. Gu Yanyan's body was trembling, she was waiting, waiting for Brother Yi's last breath to fall, so she rushed out of the room crying, and jumped herself in a pool.

Gu Xin's mother, Su Bailing, stepped forward and gently stroked Gu Xin's face, "Son." Your Daddy...... Your dad has no conscience! I'm going to build the house by the river, and it's all right! My son is gone, how will you let my mother live in the future! He didn't come back to see you on a goddamn day, there are still people outside waiting for him to save him, and he can save such a big water with a five-grade sesame point river! ”

Su Bailing held back her tears, but she didn't cry on the spot, she knew that as soon as she cried, other people such as Gu Yanyan, maid Yucui and the like, the tears in their eyes really couldn't be held back. When she didn't want her son to leave, she only heard a crying voice around her.

"Your father, this brute, he hurt you! In fact, he cares about you, that day he said that he was going to save the water, he went with a red face and cried, your father is too timid to come and see you off! He didn't dare to send it! I have to accompany you for my mother! When you get down there, tell me in your dreams, and I'll burn it for you! ”

Gu Yanyan, who had been touching Gu Xin, suddenly fell into the basin of water with the handkerchief in his hand, and then hugged Su Bailing with tears in his eyes, and cried out desolately, "Mother, brother, he's gone!" ”

Gu Yanyan was the first to find that Gu Xin's last breath fell.

"Young master, don't die." Yucui trembled all over, softened again, and sat on the ground.

"My son! Yes...... Yes! Yes! Gu Xin left completely, Su Bailing finally stopped crying and cried, crying until she waved her hand, cried until her crying was not clear, and the rest was a dry shout.

"Second brother!" The younger brother Gu Mingshui stared at him with a thick neck and clenched his two fists. His brother is gone, and there will be no more affectionate figures in the family in the future.

At this time, Gu Yanyan, who was crying with Su Bailing in her arms, stood up suddenly, and before everyone could react, she turned around and rushed out of the door.

As the saying goes, a knowing daughter is better than a mother, even if she is not her own, Su Bailing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly guessed Gu Yanyan's thoughts.

Not good! Gu Yanyan wants to die!

Su Bailing hurriedly got up and wanted to chase after her, but when she moved, she found that she was sad and her feet were crying. Su Bailing hurriedly beckoned to the old horse in the accounting room next to her: "Quick, old horse, stop her quickly!" She's afraid she's going to die! ”

The black-robed butler Lao Ma also had a sad face on his face, and when he heard this, he was shocked and chased out in a hurry. On the other hand, he also shouted Gu Yanyan: "Miss, Miss! You're back! Don't do anything stupid! ”

Su Bailing is worthy of being the mother of the Gu family, she has been running such a big family all the year round, and she is extremely smart in her heart. She didn't have the strength to chase Gu Yanyan on her feet, but she had an idea on her lips, and called out to the bookkeeper who ran out of the door: "Lie to her!" Lie to her! Old horse, you lie to her! ”

Lie to her?! When the housekeeper Lao Ma heard Su Bailing's words, he immediately understood.

He brewed his voice, his tone changed to sadness, and he shouted in surprise, "Ah! Second Young Master, why did you wake up?! While shouting, the butler stopped chasing Gu Yanyan, turned around, and went back to the house. Su Bailing in the house also held back her sadness at this time, forced her voice to be joyful, and shouted with Lao Ma's words: "Son! You're really awake! Hurry up, go get me thick clothes!" ”

On the other side, Gu Yanyan, who had just run to the gate of the yard, immediately stopped and turned around hesitantly. Of course, she heard the words of the bookkeeper behind her, and guessed in her heart that nine times out of ten, she was lying to herself to go back. can guess that Gu Yanyan's feet can't move for a while.

Even if! There is really a 1 in 10,000 chance, brother Gu Xin really woke up? Even if Brother Yi just has a breath left unfinished...... Gu Yanyan refused to leave now!

"Even if I return to the light, I will stay by my brother's side." Gu Yanyan twisted his temperament, and immediately turned around and ran back.

At this time, Lao Ma and Su Bailing, the housekeepers who shouted in the house to trick Gu Yanyan back, had just shouted two words, and suddenly there was no sound. Something seemed to have happened in the room, and it suddenly became silent.

Gu Yanyan ran back with tears in her eyes, the corners of her clothes were still dripping with droplets of heavy rain outside the house, she helped the door frame into the house, and immediately looked at Gu Xin on the couch with a tense heart. She only glanced at it, and Gu Yanyan's whole body tightened, as if she had been electrocuted.

Her heart throbbed violently, and her face instantly burst into a smile—

"Brother!"

Gu Xin, did he really wake up?!

Sitting on the couch, Gu Xin, who happened to wake up, looked past everyone, looked at Gu Yanyan at the threshold, thought about it, and showed a weak smile, "Hmm." I woke up. ”
