It's late at night, and the streets are lit up with neon red lights.

Gu Jiu shuttled through the figures, trying to find the figure in his memory.

Strange, how is the door closed?

The ox cart that returned to the village couldn't reach the city today, but the person who could leave the cart at any time was closed at the moment, and Gu Cheng had already been sent away?

Gu Jiu ran to the gate of the city with his hope in his arms, and inquired with silver that no horse (ox) cart had left Cloud City in the past three hours.

"Okay, there's work."

On the way back, Gu Jiu planned to check the inn along the street. If you can find someone, it will be a great joy, and if you can't find it, you should think about the next step in advance.

After a lap, it was already six hours later.

"Xiao Jiu, have you found Gu Cheng?" Seeing Gu Jiu coming back, Ye Qingyi stepped forward and asked.

Gu Jiu waved her hand, she had just come back from the magistrate, she was tired and ruthless, she had no desire to communicate at all, she just wanted to sleep directly from noon to the starry sky.

"Xiao Jing just told me that he knew he was wrong, Xiao Jiu, do you want to ......"

"I'll talk about it when I wake up, I'm tired now."

ran back and forth all night, and when it was almost dawn, he went to the magistrate again, and fought back and forth with the old fox for more than three hours. She talked so much that the corners of her mouth felt stiff when she opened her mouth now.

In the next two days, Gu Jiu and Lingyang continued to operate the two shops step by step, Gu Jing stayed in the inn when he couldn't go to the academy for the time being, and the people from Zhixian and Lao Bustard continued to look for Gu Cheng's traces in the open and dark.

As for Shao Baisi's side, judging from the information released, he had already told the Xie family about it. Come to think of it, it will spread among the people in a few days.

……

Shi Yuechun came, which Gu Jiu didn't expect.

"Sister, the decoration of this shop is really unique, and it makes people happy when they look at it." Shi Yuechun entered the door, looked around at Yang Wenzhai, and said with joy in his eyes.

Ling Yang looked at Gu Jiu, and the two made eye contact with each other.

"Sister Chun, do you have a book you like?"

Hearing this, Shi Yuechun's eyebrows were dyed with sorrow, and she stepped forward to hold Gu Jiu's hand, and said in a low voice: "You know me best, sister, I am the most reluctant to trouble others." You're busy here, too, if it weren't for the last resort, my sister wouldn't have bothered you. ”

"Since the last time you left, Yushu has begun to lose his soul, he doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight visibly! My sister is such a younger brother, she is so anxious that she doesn't think about tea and dinner, and the doctor said that he has lovesickness, and he has to prescribe the right medicine. My sister doesn't want to force you, I hope you can go back and persuade Yushu, he is still so young, he can't be finished like this for the rest of his life! ”

In just a few words, Shi Yuechun didn't know how many sighs.

"Is he pleasing to me?"

Shi Yuechun nodded.

"After seeing each other, you get lovesickness?"

"Yes."

"He didn't think he'd come to me himself?"

Hearing this, Shi Yuechun was lonely again: "My younger brother has grown so big, the first time he likes someone else, and you are so good, I'm afraid he won't be worthy of you!" ”

Gu Jiuao sighed, and in Shi Yuechun's expectant gaze, he shook his head with a little disgust: "No wonder you are sick, I am afraid that this ability to resist pressure can't even catch up with a seven-year-old child." ”

Shi Yuechun's face froze, and while she was unhappy, she vaguely noticed that things were going off the track: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It means that I already have someone I like, and I won't like him, let alone go back with my sister."

"You really like that short-lived ghost of the Xie family?" As he spoke, Shi Yuechun clenched Gu Jiu's hand vigorously, and his regret reached the bottom of his eyes: "Sister, you are confused!" How old are you, if you marry in the past, this life will be over! ”

"I've never talked to anyone about the person I like, why does my sister think it's the little son of the Xie family?"

Gu Jiu thought at first that Shi Yuechun wanted to win her over and came up with such a ridiculous idea, but now it seems that there is a high probability that Shi Qiusheng received the news and sent her to explore the truth.

Hearing this, Shi Yuechun's face stiffened, and after reacting, he immediately said: "My sister has a very good relationship with Miss Xie of the Xie family, so I only knew." ”

"That's right." Gu Jiu nodded thoughtfully: "But it's not him that I like, I'm afraid that Miss Cousin has misunderstood something." ”

Gu Jiu looked at the attraction burning in Shi Yuechun's eyes, and before he could say a word of send-off, a woman in her forties stumbled into Yangwenzhai.

"Miss Chun, it's not good. Tree Boy He ......"

"What's wrong with Yushu?"

"Childe, Childe fainted again, and the doctor said that if you can't wake up, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it's ......"

Before the words fell, Shi Yuechun collapsed directly.

The customers around stopped their movements with Shi Yuechun's movements, and some of the guests who were about to come in turned their heads and left, while others stood far away and looked lively.

Looking at Shi Yuechun, whose tears were about to fall and waiting for others to help, Gu Jiu only felt that his temples jumped suddenly.

I won't talk about you no matter how fake the drama is, but if it affects my business and delays me from making money, then I have to do it separately.

The moment Shi Yuechun fell, Ling Yang walked out from behind the counter, and was now squatting beside the other party, trying to help him up.

"This girl, for the time being, you better go back quickly."

Hearing this, Shi Yuechun pushed away Ling Yang and burst into tears in the direction of Gu Jiu: "Sister, even if my sister begs you, you can't see death without help!" Yushu is only fifteen years old, even if he has a big mistake, it shouldn't be this result! ”

"As a woman, has my sister ever considered me?" Gu Jiu's voice was heavy, and the words were clear: "I am only fourteen years old, and I have not yet reached the end of my life." If I do go to the man's room, what innocent white man will marry me in the future? ”

"Besides, I have long been in love with my sweetheart, and when he returns, it will be the day of my wedding. At the moment, no matter what, I won't go with you, sister, don't waste time. ”

Shi Yuechun didn't know how to leave when he heard this, but asked further: "Regardless of saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if that son knows that he killed someone indirectly, I'm afraid he will blame himself without thinking about it, and my sister must not want to see such a situation!" ”

"What he thinks is his business, and whether I can protect myself for him is my own business."

"You really don't think about our sisterhood?"

Listening to Shi Yuechun's absurd remarks, Gu Jiu couldn't help frowning: "You and I can't see each other twice, I have already called you sister out of respect." But in fact, we don't know each other, you can't force me to marry your brother because of this! ”

When the words fell, the people around them were obviously a lot excited, and their eyes widened a lot, for fear of missing something.

"This girl, our rent is very expensive, if there is nothing wrong, I hope you will not continue to affect the business." There was silence all around, and Suzun's voice was exceptionally clear.

In the end, it finally ended with Shi Yuechun's departure.

"Hey, why do I think I've seen that guy?"

After Shi Yuechun left, everyone's gossip was more serious than the other.

"You don't know, it's the Shi family. Miss Yet, Master Shi didn't give her the title of mother, what kind of lady is she. ”

"That's it, in my opinion, her younger brother has some unspeakable illness, otherwise how can she cry and make trouble when she sees two sides, and let the little girl marry her brother."

“……”

Listening to the remarks around him, Gu Jiu did not refute or support it, and let everyone spread it.

In the evening, Shi Xuyao came, but put down a letter and left.

"'Meet at Jingxin Lake today, and he will also be in the autumn of time.' What does that mean? ”

After the others left, Suzuo leaned in and asked.

"He kidnapped one of my fellow countrymen and used it as a threat to meet me."

Ling Yang nodded: "I'll go with you, tonight is the annual celebration of the new life in Cloud City, and it is very lively." ”

"Freshmen?"

"Yes, more than 30 years ago, our city had a great epidemic, and just when everyone thought that they were not going to die, a doctor from Shangjing saved the whole city, so since that year, people will celebrate the new life on this day every year."

Gu Jiu nodded, she thought that it was the last time she told Shi Qiusheng that she was not good at water, so he planned to find a time when there were few people to drown himself.

"Let's go now, and we'll be done at eight o'clock to meet the man."

"Okay. Wait a minute, I'll find someone to tell my mother and Xiaojing about the news, and they are also willing to participate. ”

"Hmm."

……

"Little sister, do you want to buy a lantern, I have the latest goods here this year, you look at this crab and this wild goose, but they are not available elsewhere!" While speaking, the stall owner also demonstrated to Gu Jiu, and when the rope pulled, the crab seemed to really come to life.

"How's that, it's pretty."

Gu Jiu nodded, it was indeed good-looking and vivid.

"How did you sell it?"

"One of ten copper plates, no bargaining for the time being."

"Two of them."

"Okay, you put it away!"

Gu Jiu and Ling Yang took their respective lanterns, and just after taking two steps, they met Shaobaisi.

"I didn't expect you to be here."

"I went to the bookstore to look for you and didn't find it, so I guessed that you came here. The news came from the bustard's side, and Gu Cheng found it. ”

Gu Jiu was stunned, found it? Who was he at that time?

"Where?"

"Painting the boat."

As he spoke, Shao Baisi pointed to the seven or eight boats on the lake and said, "But I don't know which boat it is." ”

Gu Jiu looked in the direction of the other party's finger and said, "Shi Qiusheng invited me to see you at Jingxin Lake tonight." ”

"I think it's some kind of threatening drama."

"More than that." Gu Jiu glanced at Ling Yang's position, and in the shouting of the hawker, he whispered, "He probably has the idea of eradicating me." ”

"How do you tell?"

"Intuition."

"Are you still going?"

"Well, no matter what, Gu Cheng is innocent."

Shao Baiji answered softly, indicating that he knew.

"I still have something to prepare, you two take your time." While speaking, Shao Baisi took out a small bag of silver from his pocket and handed it to Ling Yang: "It should be an apology for missing the company." ”

Ling Yang subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, looked at the silver in his hand, and then looked at Shaobaisi, who turned around and left, and was a little at a loss for a while.

"Xiao Jiu, this ......"

"If you give it, it's ours."

Ready, yes, she can go and see it in advance!

"Sister, you take a slow stroll first, I suddenly remembered something and left first. If you don't have enough money, spend it. As he spoke, he took out a small purse from his bosom and handed it over.

"Play slowly, I'll go first."
