At this time, Gu Xiaoyu's hidden secrets were mostly revealed, except for which family he was from and who his surname was, Gu Huanxi faintly had the direction of his guess, but he didn't ask him to confess all of them at the moment, but he just asked puzzledly, "Since your father sent you away in the first place, he must have found a proper family to settle down, why did you sneak out by yourself again?" ”

When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, hatred crossed his lowered eyes, "My father originally entrusted me to my uncle, and let my uncle raise me, who wants the news to leak, my stepmother sent someone to chase and kill all the way, and my uncle's people went to most of them in order to protect me, Rao is like this, those killers are still endless, in desperation, my uncle handed me over to a family in Tongxian County to raise me temporarily, and he led the killer away......"

"And then?"

"My uncle said that he would come to pick me up if he solved those killers, at most seven or eight days, but half a month later, I still couldn't wait for him, and the family who adopted me was just greedy for the silver given by my uncle, which was not good to me.

This link can be connected one after another, Gu Huanxi nodded, but a new question came again, "You ran away, won't your uncle not find you when he goes back?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu thought of the picture in the dream, and shook his head bitterly, "Perhaps, he won't go back to me." ”

Gu Huanxi chuckled in his heart, "Are you suspicious of your uncle......"

Gu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, "I don't know what he is doing now, but I know that if I didn't sneak away at that time, I still wouldn't be able to wait for him to come back to pick me up, and the end must be very miserable, so I can't just hope for my safety, I have to save myself." ”

After hearing this, Gu Huanxi's heart was heavy, and he couldn't help but get up and go over, hugged him into his arms, and said softly, "You did a good job." ”

A child who is only five years old, even if the ancients are precocious, it is very remarkable to be able to do it to his level, and some adults may not have that determination and courage.

Gu Xiaoyu buried his face in her arms and said in a muffled voice, "I was lucky to meet my father on the road, brought me home, met you again, and gave me a place to stay, but I ...... But selfishly concealed you, and involved you in trouble, if my stepmother knew in the future, I am afraid that she will be angry and hurt you, and there will really be a day when my son will be to blame! ”

Gu Huanxi patted him on the back softly, and said with a calm expression, "We can become a family, it is our fate for each other, and there is no one who affects anyone." ”

Gu Xiaoyu raised his face, his eyes were red, with a little emotion, a little disbelief, "You know everything now, and you are still willing to accept me?" Really not afraid of my stepmother's revenge? ”

Gu Huanxi smiled lightly, "If we first met, we knew that you were carrying so much, I might choose to protect ourselves, but now, we are already a family, if you call me mother, then I have the obligation to protect you, and I will not abandon you for fear of retaliation, I told you before that family cannot be abandoned, no matter when and under what circumstances, family should be the first choice." ”

"Mother!"

He blurted out this, and tears burst out of his eyes instantly, but he didn't cry, and let the tears flow freely, as if he was venting those grievances and resentments that had been hidden for a long time, unwilling and angry.

Gu Huanxi didn't persuade him, but only accompanied him quietly until he calmed down, rubbed in her arms with some embarrassment, and was embarrassed to look up at her again.

Gu Huanxi took care of his self-esteem, and did not tease him, so he asked a serious topic at the right time, "If you appear in the capital, what is the chance of being recognized?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu thought for a while, "It should be very small." After speaking, he added, "I rarely went out before, and I was rarely seen outside, but at home...... In fact, there are not many, because my mother is sick all the year round, in addition to reading every day, I am by her side, and the most I see are the little maids who serve and the housekeepers, those people are either driven to the Zhuangzi or sold after my mother dies and my stepmother is in charge, not deliberately looking for them, and they will not have the opportunity to meet. ”

"What about your stepmother and father, and the rest of your relatives?"

"They won't walk outside at will, and when they may appear, our family won't go, so it's hard to intersect."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi laughed and poked his head, "Just say it, our family is still far from the circle they are in." ”

Gu Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "That circle is not good at all. ”

Gu Huanxi raised his eyebrows, half serious and half jokingly asked, "Really?" High power, slaves and maids, silk and satin, delicacies from the mountains and seas, these are not good? How many people have spent their whole lives pursuing it, and you can't say it's good? ”

Gu Xiaoyu repeated, "It's really not good. ”

Gu Huanxi asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu said with a serious face, "Being in it, not happy at all, unhappy, it's just not good, now with you, even if it is ordinary people, coarse tea and light meals all day long, and even sleeping in the open all the way to escape the famine, I feel happy, there is no intrigue, there is no hypocrisy and wrongdoing, there is no need to be afraid of being assassinated by calculations all the time, every day is very safe and steadfast, I no longer have to be afraid that I will never wake up again if I close my eyes at night......"

Gu Huanxi's heart became sad when he heard this, and he hurriedly touched his head and comforted, "It's all over, don't worry about living that kind of life in the future, our family is a small family, just these few people, you just want to intrigue, no one plays with you, as for the calculation and framing, it doesn't exist, as far as your father's temperament, if you don't like it, he will directly beat him, he is too lazy to spend that brain." ”

When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, he curled the corners of his mouth and laughed silently.

After the mother and son communicated deeply, the biggest change was that they became more intimate and comfortable with each other.

When Xu Huaiyi came back drunk, what he felt was such a qualitative change in the mother-son relationship, and he wondered for a while, what happened when he was not there?

Gu Huanxi didn't explain to him, but asked about the topic they talked about when they were drinking.

Xu Huaiyi said a few things in general, "Master Liao said, I don't know what kind of resettlement policy the capital has for the victims now, he suggested, we had better send someone to inquire first, and we should prepare early, after all, we have a lot of people, it is unlikely that we will all go to a village, if we are separated, then how to divide it has to be thought out in advance......"

"If you don't want to separate, then you have to rent a miscellaneous courtyard to live, I think it's unreliable, I refuse, Village Chief Xu They don't want to, when they arrive in the capital, they still have to settle down first, so that they can talk with peace of mind, Master Liao also has a shop in the capital to make a living, but he mentioned that he can arrange a few villagers to work in the past, but it is very difficult to choose who to use and who not to use, and Village Chief Xu did not respond to it, it should be worried that he will not suffer from widowhood and unevenness."

"Master Liao also asked me about my plans, I said I wanted to study, and I bluffed him, hahaha, even Village Chief Xu was scared, and the uncle was quite in favor, especially when he heard that I wanted to take the martial arts exam, he supported it, and even said that if the silver was not enough, he could find a way to make it up."
