Chapter 83: Seeing the Old Man

Gu Wensheng seemed to have waited for a long time, and rushed towards Gu Jiu without the slightest hesitation after coming out of the crowd.

"Xiao Jiu!"

Suzu's voice rang suddenly. Looking at the people who ran over halfway, Gu Jiu panicked.

"Sister, don't go near him!"

Ling Yang and Gu Wensheng collided together, and Gu Jiu was stopped in place by Shi Xuyao.

Gu Wensheng didn't get up immediately after being knocked down, and he didn't continue to run towards Gu Jiu's side, but ...... Confronted Suzuki.

Something is wrong, Ling Yang's unrestrained power can be seen by his eyes, and Gu Wensheng can't dare to step forward because of fear. Unless...... Unless there are people in the family around here, Gu Wensheng is looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Get on board."

Shi Xuyao's voice was sharp, with an indescribable meaning. His eyes motioned for Gu Jiu to look at Ling Yang, as if to say: That girl is so protective of you, are you going to give her up like Gu Cheng?

"Okay."

Gu Jiu nodded in agreement, and when he heard a satisfactory answer, Shi Xuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

And just when Shi Xuyao's nerves had just relaxed a little, Gu Jiu turned around and rushed directly into the crowd - ran.

Shi Xuyao was stunned, but Gu Wensheng reacted first and chased after him.

Rushing into the bustling crowd, the Shi family's secretly ambushed manpower was useless.

After running into the crowd, Gu Wensheng chased forward again in style, and after making sure that he was shaken off, he turned around and ran into the alley on the side, and after twisting and turning, he began to find a way to leave Cloud City and return to Gujia Village.

On the other side, Gu Jiu changed into a pure black coat after turning a corner.

There were many people on the street and Gu Jiu changed his clothes, and Shi Xuyao soon lost his goal.

After getting rid of the people, Gu Jiu turned back again, found Lingyang who was rushing back, and took her in the direction of Hongxiang Pavilion.

"Xiao Jiu, what happened just now?"

"I don't know very well now, you go back to Hongxiang Pavilion first, I have to go back."

"Where are you going?"

"I've got to pick up Shaobaiji."

Suzu opened her mouth and struggled several times, but finally chose to be silent.

"I'm leaving." Gu Jiu said.

"Hmm!"

……

On the painting boat, Shi Qiusheng was drinking wine, and the rhythm of his fingertips tapping on the table gradually became chaotic.

"Yushu." Shi Qiusheng raised his hand towards Shi Yushu, who was waiting on the side, and the latter immediately came to his side.

"You go and see what's going on over there with Xu Yao? Why haven't people brought it yet? ”

"Yes, father."

In the Shijia Mansion, they are all called masters, and when they leave the Shifu, they are all called fathers. This is the face that Shi Qiusheng rewarded them.

In order to ensure adequate safety just in case, there are no boats in the vicinity of the boat. Everyone left when the time came, and each family sent a boat to pick them up.

So, right now, the only way for Yushu to complete his order is to swim over.

Gu Jiu hid in the tree, his eyes fixed on the lake. Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared on the lake, I was overjoyed, Gu Cheng escaped?

No, it's not Gu Cheng. Not to mention Gu Cheng's body bones, if he can swim so far in one breath, shouldn't he, a person who escaped secretly, cautiously lean from the water to the lake? This has been swaggering on the water, and the guards are blind?

Shi Yushu, what is he doing here?

Gu Jiu sat on the tree, twisting his eyebrows and looking at the person who had climbed ashore shivering.

After going ashore, Shi Yushu didn't have time to wring out the water on his clothes, and looked around for Shi Xuyao's traces under the inquiring eyes of passers-by.

Picking up the broken wood pulp and looking at the roads in all directions, Shi Yushu was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Old man, do you know what happened here just now?" Shi Yushu picked up the wood pulp and gestured.

Gu Jiu looked at the bulging big bag behind the old man, thinking that the other party should have picked it up and came back.

Hearing Shi Yushu's words, I saw the old man step forward and carefully gather the other party's clothes, and then dragged the bag away without saying a word.

"Old man, I'm in a hurry now, if you ......"

"I don't know." The old man interrupted angrily: "What can a little ordinary person like me know? ”

After speaking, he kept walking forward, Gu Jiu sat on the tree, and vaguely heard the other party muttering: "This god is also blind, why do you have to be so warm at night!" It's cold, it's good to be cold! ”

After the old man left, Shi Yushu asked a few people one after another, but he also didn't get any useful news.

Feeling the time passing minute by minute, Shi Yushu became more and more anxious.

It's impossible to go back, Shi Qiusheng has no shortage of people around him to play for, he finally has a chance to show himself, and he can't just fail.

But now there are roads in all directions, and he doesn't know where Shi Xuyao has gone or when he will come back.

If Xu Yao came back at the stage of his departure and went back one step ahead of him, then he would be even more finished.

On this side, Shi Yushu was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and on the other side, Shi Xuyao had already finished Yangwenzhai and "Jiuyang Bookstore".

"If you go to my inn, I don't believe she won't come back at night!"

……

By the lake, Shi Yushu thought about it several times, and finally decided to swim back first, it was better to be reactive than to be wrong.

"What about people?" Shi Qiusheng raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Yushu, as if he didn't see the other party's trembling appearance.

"Gone, gone."

"Huh?"

Shi Yushu gritted his teeth, his eyes closed slightly, and he said in desperation: "When Yushu arrives at the shore, there is nothing on the shore except for a broken piece of wood pulp. After several inquiries, the whereabouts of the guards were not found, and they ...... Came back first. ”

Shi Qiusheng pushed away the beauty in his arms, and after pondering for a few seconds, he quickly got up and walked out of the painting boat and went straight to the painting boat where Zhixian was located.

"Didn't I let you go back?"

On the other side of the painting boat, Shao Baisi asked in a low voice.

"I'm not at ease." Gu Jiu replied while twisting the water droplets on her clothes, not long after Shi Yushu went into the water, she quietly followed, and when she arrived, she happened to see Shi Qiusheng hurriedly walking into another painting boat.

"I suspect that Gu Cheng was locked up in this painting boat by Shi Qiusheng."

"This one is from the county." Shao Baisi said as he looked at Gu Jiu and chuckled, "Now believe what I said before." You and the magistrate are not all the way at all, and that person has already become sleek in the market. ”

Gu Jiu lowered his eyes and did not say anything.

"I've ordered, no one will come to this small piece for the time being, you wait here first, I'll go in and have a look."

Gu Jiu nodded and watched Shao Bai Si leave, and after a while, Shao Bai Si's voice and ...... faintly came from the painting boat The voice of the county.

"Lord Zhixian, I will introduce you well, this is the little son of Xie Mansion - Xie Yunyan."

"Junior Xie Yunyan has seen Lord Zhixian."

"Okay, good, it's really a talent, come and sit down." The magistrate patted the position next to him while recruiting Shao Baisi.

After Shaobai Si sat down, Zhixian stared at Shaobai Sizi and looked at it carefully for a long time: "You look very similar to an old man of mine, but your temperament is not the same, that person is a good gun at your age." ”

"Haha Yunyan, this child is frail and sickly, and he has been lying in bed for more than ten years, and he has only come out in the past two months. If you want him to play with the gun, Old Man Xie can't die of distress! ”

The chatter and laughter in the painting boat came and went, and outside the painting boat, Gu Jiu hid in the shadows and his eyes were deep. If this is the real magistrate, then who was talking to her about her ambitions in the first place? Or is it that he doesn't care about the life and death of the people here, doesn't care about everything here, and just wants to leave.

Can...... Didn't the bustard say that he had provoked the superior by petitioning for the people? So what is it now, is it a big lie or has you forgotten your original intention?

Gu Jiu looked at the painting boat and suddenly felt irritable in her heart, this feeling of being deceived by teasing made her have a delusion of rushing in and taking Gu Cheng away without hesitation, and never contact them again.

But it can only be delusional.

There was a lot of conversation inside, and Shao Baisi was dealing with Shi Qiusheng and Zhixian while judging where there were places in the house where people could be hidden. Outside, Gu Jiu went into the water again, swam to the bottom of the painting boat where Zhixian was located, and groped inch by inch with the faint light, trying to judge the layout inside from the external structure.

Ten minutes later, Shi Qiusheng got up.

"Yunyan, I just have time today, and my uncle will take you to meet someone. Dong'er, do you remember, you two had a good time when you were a child! This little girl is clamoring to see you every day, and she has secretly followed her here, and now she is locking me in the house! ”

As soon as Shi Qiusheng's words fell, the magistrate followed and said, "Oh, you young people, it's really enviable." Go ahead, don't let down the little girl. ”

"But the younger generation already has someone who pleases him."

In the heart-to-heart smile of Shi Qiusheng and Zhixian County, Shaobaisi's words are clear and upright.

"Yunyan, are the rumors true?" Shi Qiusheng put away his smile and asked seriously.

"The younger generation sincerely asks for it, how can it be a rumor!"

"The two of you are not in the right household, and if you spread it, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of your Xie family."

"The reputation of the Xie family has long been dispersed in Miss Yu Yan's short-lived ghosts." In Shi Qiusheng's cold gaze, Shao Baisi continued: "At that time, although the marriage contract was right, there were many people in the city who said that I Xie Yunyan was delusional, oppressed people with power, and wanted to mistake Miss Yu Yan for life with a dying body. ”

"And right now, although Miss Gu Jiu has not promised my love, she has never said anything about my body. She is the only person she has met so far who hates her juniors, but never talks about her juniors' lives. ”

"Therefore, the younger generation also recognized her, and she will not marry in this life!"

Shaobaisi's words made Zhixian and Shi Qiusheng stunned, they had received the relevant news, and they also guessed that Xie Yunyan would be a little sincere to that Gu Jiu, but they didn't expect it to be this step.

"Yunyan, you are still young, and you used to stay in the Xie family, and you met too few girls to have such thoughts. Uncle tells you, this woman ......."

"Lord Prefectural Order." Shao Baisi interrupted: "The younger generation knows that he will not live for a few years, and he does not want to have the energy to think about what other girls are like, but he hopes to marry his beloved girl before he dies." That's all! ”
