Chapter 11: A Closer Look

"I'll beat you up if I cry again."

Gu Rin's only few patiences had been exhausted, and his face was unhappy.

Pei Yungui wiped away the tears on his face.

The eyes didn't seem to obey the call, and there was always a steady stream of tears pouring out of the eyes, as if they wanted to vent all the grievances they had suffered in the past few days.

She clasped her arms tightly and said nothing, only sobbing quietly.

It looks a little pitiful.

Gu Rin hurriedly expelled these sudden thoughts from his mind.

What is there to be pitiful.

She wasn't so pitiful when she was digging for honeycombs in the plum garden.

After Pei Yungui wiped the tears from his face for the second time, Gu Rin suddenly threw over a robe.

She hurriedly caught it and looked at Gu Rin at a loss.

Gu Rin said sullenly: "Just wrap it in the cold, you are out of danger, but the residual poison on your body has not been cleared, and when all the poison is discharged, you will naturally not be afraid of cold." ”

Pei Yungui sniffed and said, "Thank you." ”

"There's no need to thank me." Gu Rin's eyes fell on Pei Yungui, and there was no expression on his face, "You and I are just trading relationships, don't forget your promises." Otherwise......" Gu Rin's eyes darkened, and a trace of poison flashed in his eyes.

Pei Yungui wrapped his robe around himself, pursed his lips, and replied, "Don't worry, I won't make promises." ”

After a night of torrential rain, daylight finally ushered in.

There were several holes in the hut, and the torrential rain left a few puddles of water in the house, reflecting a little colorful.

Pei Yungui hugged the wide robe and stared at the beating halo in a daze.

Gu Rin found some dry firewood out of nowhere, set up a fire in the house, came over for a while, and came back from outside the house to catch some pheasants.

"It rained too much last night, and the road down the mountain was full of mud, so it was not easy to walk, so I waited for the sun to bask for a while before setting off."

"Oh."

Gu Rin skillfully picked up the chicken feathers, and when he finished plucking a whole chicken, his hand suddenly paused, as if he had reacted to something, and he looked at Pei Yungui, who had changed to a more comfortable sitting position, with a dark face.

"Why me?"

Pei Yungui blinked and replied with an innocent face: "I won't." ”

Gu Rin directly skewered a whole chicken and stuffed it into Pei Yungui's hand.

"You bake it."

In his dictionary, there is no such thing as "serving others."

Pei Yungui took it silently, and then consciously walked to the fire.

Gu Rin went back to sleep with peace of mind.

"Call me when it's baked."

"Oh." Pei Yungui naturally responded, and after thinking about it, she asked again: "Aren't you afraid that I will be poisoned?" ”

After all, they were enemies two days ago, and they both wanted to kill each other.

Gu Rin sneered, "I'm invincible, you can try." ”

Seeing him say this, Pei Yungui didn't say anything more, and roasted the pheasant seriously.

[Host, I didn't expect you to barbecue, it's hidden.] 】

4322 suddenly sighed.

"I won't." Pei Yungui brought the pheasant closer and replied, "I can only cook wild vegetables." ”

[Huh? 4322 opened his mouth, a little surprised, [Then you are still baking? 】

"It's just a chicken, it's easy."

Pei Yungui was quite confident, staring at the roast chicken that had begun to sip out with fighting spirits.

This is meat, as long as she can eat meat, she can do anything!

Even if you can't do it, you have to do it.

An hour has passed......

Gu Rin looked at the black unidentified object in Pei Yungui's hand, and for the first time fell into doubts about life.

"What is this?"

Gu Rin wished he was dreaming.

"Pheasant."

Pei Yungui ruthlessly shattered Gu Rin's hopes.

"It's just that it doesn't look like it's what I thought it would be." Pei Yungui handed it to Gu Rin seriously.

He shot the pheasant, so it was reasonable to give him food first.

[Be confident and remove the like.] 】

Gu Rin looked at the charred black lump that was close at hand, and felt scared for the first time.

"I don't eat it."

He refused very simply.

As soon as the words fell, Pei Yungui's eyes lit up, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

"No repentance."

The corners of Gu Rin's mouth twitched, and his face was full of disgust.

"Whoever loves to eat eats."

Without the sentimentality of being rejected, Pei Yungui seemed to have picked up a big bargain, and happily accepted this gift.

Isn't it better to eat meat once, even if it is unpalatable, than wild vegetables?

So, under Gu Rin's strange gaze, Pei Yungui swallowed the whole chicken.

Life is fulfilled.

Pei Yungui was very satisfied.

Pei Yungui burped without any image, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Rin saw that Pei Yungui was in a good state, so he immediately reminded: "Eat and drink enough, it's time for Miss Pei to fulfill her promise." ”

Pei Yungui also knew that what should come would always come, she didn't push back, and went straight to the point.

She put the charred bamboo stick into the fire and said slowly.

"Actually, I have something to hide from the background provided by General Gu."

After Pei Yungui finished speaking, he quickly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Rin's face.

After all, he is a madman by nature, and he can't do anything terrible to her.

The last Gu Mansion First Brigade had already left a deep shadow on Pei Yungui.

Gu Rin raised his chin and motioned for her to continue.

He also guessed that the thorough investigation of Pei Yungui's life experience was too smooth, from time to confession, it was so normal that there was nothing to doubt it.

However, Ji Yanqian is full of suspicions.

In the past 20 years, his study career has been clean, and although he has been in the imperial examination for 25 years, he has stayed in Beijing as an official since then.

In the imperial examination, thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, how could a person who had never attended a private school be on the list in one fell swoop?

Unless someone deliberately helps.

Moreover, eleven years ago, natural and man-made disasters fell sharply, and the imperial court almost emptied the treasury in order to provide disaster relief.

Ji Yanqian couldn't even fill his stomach, so why did he suddenly go to a poor land to adopt a child?

Gu Rin once checked down this line and found that Pei Yungui's childhood was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and he had never intersected with Ji Yanqian.

The only connection may be her father's brother-in-brother relationship.

According to Ji Yanqian's temperament, he should not adopt a child who has not seen each other for many years because of the relationship between senior brothers and sisters.

After receiving the instructions, Pei Yungui continued: "I have never been to Luotong County, nor have I ever been adopted by any woodcutter. ”

Gu Rinfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze fell on Pei Yungui's face.

As he expected.

"I grew up traveling with my parents, and my father was a healer, and sometimes when we went to a place to treat diseases, we would settle there for a while, and we would stop and go, and we spent a lot of spring, summer, autumn and winter. I thought I would grow up with them carefree. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Yungui's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was a little choked.

"It wasn't until eleven years ago that we arrived in a new place, just in time for an epidemic."

"The epidemic is very serious, my father can't cure it, no one can cure it. They said that the place was under spell by the ghosts, and everyone fell under the spell, so more and more people ran out. ”

Pei Yungui carefully pulled out the nightmare that had been hidden deep in his heart.

There was a faint pain in her head, and she frowned and gently covered her forehead.

In a trance, she seemed to see the collapsed crowd again, scrambling to crowd out of the city, the depressed streets were lit with beacon fires, and the horses' hooves trampled the streets and alleys of Luotong.

"Run! Run, you can't get caught by them! "It was as if someone had yelled at her like that.

Who is that man?

Why wasn't she a little impressed?

Sumi wrinkled tightly, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a palpitation.

A thin back was gradually outlined in front of him.

That back was strange and familiar, as if I had seen it countless times, as if I had never seen it before.

Before she could see it clearly, her back suddenly disappeared.

This fleeting feeling couldn't help but make Pei Yungui a little flustered.

"And then?"

A deep voice pulled her back to reality.

The crowd, the beacon, and the back were all gone.

The blazing fire was imprinted in Pei Yungui's eyes.

Pei Yungui forcibly suppressed his palpitations.

She continued, "Then, there were people in the county who rebelled, and they killed and plundered in the city, and my parents ......" She paused, swallowed her sobs, and clenched her fists tightly on her dress, "They killed them." ”

"Then, I was found by Ji Yanqian, and he took me out of Luotong County."

"Ji Yanqian said, those people are murderous, and they can't leave a single mouth alive, if they know that I escaped, they will definitely come to me with a knife."

"So he helped me fabricate a new identity and told me that when someone asks about it in the future, I will use the new identity to deal with it."

Pei Yungui spoke, and looked at Gu Rin again, his eyes were already full of tears.

"That's all I know."

-------------------------------------

After the road down the mountain was sunburned, it was no longer muddy and difficult to walk.

Gu Rin and Pei Yungui quickly went down the mountain.

At the foot of Mochizuki Mountain, the two are about to separate.

Pei Yungui suddenly stopped Gu Rin.

Gu Rin looked sideways, her eyes were impatient, urging her to say something quickly and fart quickly.

Pei Yun finally expressed the doubts that had puzzled her for a day.

"The beggar has escaped, why don't you chase it."

Gu Rin reacted for a moment before she realized who the beggar in her mouth was.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you say that you didn't put it yourself?" ”

Pei Yungui's eyes widened suddenly, and a pair of fawn-like eyes flashed with panic.

How does he know? Is it so obvious that you did it yourself?!!!

For some reason, Gu Rin felt that the appearance of the woman in front of him was a lot more interesting, and he deliberately made fun of it.

"Miss Pei remember to wait in front of the gate of Ji's Mansion tonight, and the prince and I will definitely come on time to ask for someone."

Pei Yungui stiffened, and his face was pale.

Seeing this, Gu Rin got his wish and left with a smile.

After a long time, Pei Yun reacted.

Gu Rin, a big-tailed wolf, actually scared her.

Isn't it revenge for pheasants!

By the time Gu Rin arrived at Gu's Mansion, it was already the middle of the moon.

The shadow of the tree behind him swayed, and suddenly, it shook a few times, and a black shadow jumped out lightly and knelt beside Gu Rin's tall figure.

"Have you done everything I told you?"

Gu Rin's face was expressionless, and the moonlight hit his sharp face, showing a cold feeling.

"The prince has swam along the moat to the Lijiang River, and the prince's people and subordinates have all solved it."

Gu Rin bowed his head and ordered: "Find a few more people to keep an eye on him secretly, if he wants to go to Beijing, tie up people and fish on the beams of the house for seven days and seven nights." ”

"Subordinates obey."
