On weekdays, the little lady Qiao, who is most afraid of small insects and even sees such a beautiful creature as a butterfly, screams and covers her head and scurries around, today for her brother, she broke into Bao's insect room with great dignity.
Seeing her appear at a glance, Ah Bao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Are you in a hurry?"
"That's right!" Standing in the encirclement of insects, although she hadn't seen a single little insect now, Little Lady Qiao couldn't help but start trembling. She quickly took a deep breath and quickly explained what had happened. Then, she pulled up Ah Bao's sleeve again, "County Lord, that person is really ill-intentioned, he wants to kill my brother! Please, you should hurry up and drive him away, otherwise my brother will really die! Otherwise, you can drive Brother out of the country, I can take him home, and I can save his life, right?"
Unexpectedly, when he heard this, the corners of Ah Bao's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled shallowly.
"You've been lied to by him. She said.
"Huh?" Miss Qiao didn't know why, "Who lied to me?"
"No, it's Chu Wenzheng. Ah Bao said, "Those insects were raised by me and him, how can I not know what the insects are? If he wants to kill Qiao Yan, he has to ask me first if I agree." ”
"Ahh
Little Lady Qiao reacted. "I'll just say! How can he be so arrogant, it's obvious that he is a fox and a fake tiger! This is still the county lord's territory, what qualifications does he have to point fingers at my brother's comings and goings? No, I'll go to him to settle accounts!"
However, as soon as she turned around, she remembered something more important: "However, it is a fact that my brother vomited blood yesterday. County Lord, tell me, if this continues, will my brother really worry about his life?"
Po glanced at her faintly.
This glance made Little Lady Qiao tremble.
"Forget it, you still don't say it! I haven't been here today, and you haven't seen me, so I'll knock my brother unconscious and drag me back tonight, I just beg the county lord not to stop me!"
"If you really want to do this, I won't stop you. But that's not what I'm going to tell you. "Bao Dao.
"What's that?" asked the little lady Qiao.
In fact, he has experienced this kind of thing more than once. Po opened his face.
Little Lady Qiao was stunned.
"Didn't he tell you about it?" Bao said lightly, "I took him away from you because I wasn't sure if I could save him." If you live, it will naturally be a good thing, but if you can't save it, it's just a matter of conforming to the will of God. In fact, if he had died at that time, he might have been happy. Over the years, I've been trying out Gu with his body rather than saving him. If it is a test Gu, it is the same as when Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, you know what it feels like. ”
"So, in fact, Brother is very likely to lose his life not only this time, but he has almost lost his life many times before, is that what you mean?" asked Little Lady Qiao in a low voice.
"Yes. Po nodded.
Therefore, Brother He rejected Chu Wenzheng's intimidation. Little Lady Qiao nodded, "I understand." In that case, if Brother wants to stay, let him stay, and I'll accompany him!"
Po raised his eyebrows again. "Why did you change your mind again?"
"Because I believe in Brother, I also believe in you!" Little Lady Qiao said loudly, "I believe that Brother Brother's life is good, since he has overcome so many difficulties before, then this time he will not be an exception! I also believe in you, since you can rescue him from the ghost gate again and again, and make his body better than once before, you will definitely do your best to save him this time." In this way, there is still a great chance that he will be well, so let's stay! It is better to bring back a complete brother than to bring back a brother who can't have children!"
"However, it is very likely that you will bring back his corpse. "Bao Dao.
Little Lady Qiao's face turned pale: "County Lord, can't you say two good words? Even if you deliberately say it to deceive me and make me happy!"
"Well, he's fifty percent sure he's going to get him back to normal. Bao said.
"That's it!" Little Lady Qiao finally smiled, "County Lord, you are so good! I believe in you, I am waiting for you to completely cure my brother, and then we will go home together!"
With that, he turned around and went out.
Ah Bao watched her fly out happily like a bird, and was stunned for a long time.
"Is this the girl's mind?" she said to herself, "and the jump is bizarre, I don't understand." ”
And when she got out of the insect room, Little Lady Qiao finally let out a sigh.
"Stay away from those bugs!" she muttered to herself happily, and walked back with cheerful steps.
But it wasn't until she reached the gate of the courtyard that she realized that she hadn't told her the most important thing yet—"I haven't told her the most important thing yet!"
Since Brother Ah is not leaving, then she should persuade the county lord to drive Chu Wenzheng's bastard away! That guy has already taken the initiative to reveal his malicious intent to Brother A, so when he treats Brother Ah in the future, God knows what kind of moth he will give birth to? She is not worried about the county lord, but she is worried that the guy will play tricks in private! That kind of insidious and cunning person, she will not be curious about what he does!
However, they have already come out, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for her to kill them again? Moreover, she had just rushed into the insect room in one go, and now that she had come out, the little courage that she had easily accumulated had been almost dissipated. Now tell her to go around the worm room again...... She didn't even have the courage to push the door in.
"Woo woo, why am I so stupid!" Qiao Xiaoniang stomped her feet, and hurriedly rushed into her room, even having no face on her brother's side.
In the following days, it was natural that Chu Wenzheng continued to stay in the palace with a cheeky face, and he still pestered Lord Ah Bao every day, which gradually made everyone think that Ah Bao was interested in him. Even Princess Huayang quietly asked someone about it. Fortunately, Cui's family gave her a clear negative answer.
And Qiao Yan has also changed from a guinea pig for Ah Bao to a guinea pig for Ah Bao and Chu Wenzheng. His days were repeated by being planted Gu - his body fell down abnormally - he was rescued by Ah Bao - recuperated - and then he was planted Gu, and so on, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past six months, Qiao Yan's body has improved a little, but the improvement is not too great.
Little Lady Qiao watched her brother fall down again and again, and was fished up again and again, and gradually she felt that she seemed to be used to it. So when Qiao Yan fell down again for the last time, she didn't feel nervous and scared, but waited peacefully for Ah Bao to save his life again.
"County Lord, it can't go on like this!" When Qiao Yan was out of danger, Chu Wenzheng said to Ah Bao, "My ability is limited, and I haven't seen much useful progress for so long, but it has caused him to suffer again and again." If he continues like this, I'm afraid that he will vomit blood and die before he can wait for Hequan. Otherwise, let's go to my hometown once, let my father help take a look, my father will definitely have a way!"
"Now it seems that there is only one way to go. Po said in a low voice.
Chu Wenzheng was overjoyed: "County Lord, have you agreed?"
Po nodded.
"Okay, I'll write a letter to my father, let's pack up when we go back, let's hurry over! Presumably my father will be very happy to see you, he likes the child who studies hard!" Chu Wenzheng hurriedly said, and then turned to leave.
Little Lady Qiao scrubbed Qiao Yan's body inside, and by the way, she also pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside, and took the conversation between Ah Bao and Chu Wenzheng into her ears. She couldn't help but sink her heart, wiped Qiao Yan's face clean, and ran out to stop Ah Bao, who was about to leave.
"County Lord, do you really want to go to Guizhou with him? This person has been mentioning this matter for the past few months, and I always feel that he must be planning something big again. Moreover, Guizhou is remote, and there are mountains everywhere, and it is said that the people in the mountains are cunning and savage, and how many people have never come out after entering. If you go, don't you worry that they won't let you out?"
Moreover, with Chu Wenzheng's ability, she deeply believes that this kind of thing can be done!
"If you don't let me out, I'll stay there. Miao Jiang has many Gu masters, and it is not a bad thing to learn more from them. Po didn't care.
She knew it would be the answer.
Little lady Qiao flattened her mouth. "Alright then, remember to take one with me when you go. ”
"You?" Bao was slightly stunned.
"Yes, if you go, my brother will definitely go with you. I was originally here to take care of my brother and him, so naturally I will follow him wherever he goes. Otherwise, how can I go back to Wuzhou to explain to Daddy and Auntie?" said Mrs. Qiao.
So, the people who went to Guizhou were decided: Chu Wenzheng, A Bao, Qiao Yan, Qiao Xiaoniang, as well as the people and horses prepared for A Bao by the king of Hejian County and Cui Pu and his wife.
Originally, the king of Hejian County, Cui Pu and others all strongly disagreed with Ah Bao going to Guizhou. After all, there are many mountains in Miaodi, and there are countless Miao cottages there, and most of them are within the scope of the imperial court. Once they're in, it's even more difficult to figure out if there is no one to lead them. It's just that Ah Bao's only wish in this life is to improve her Gu skills, and now in Chang'an City, she has long had no goal to catch up, Chu Wenzheng's appearance just opened the door to a new world for her, making her realize that in the distant Miao Jiang of Guizhou, there are still many people who have raised Gu for generations, and there are many things she can learn!
It doesn't matter if Chu Wenzheng has ill intentions, or that he has other plans, but I have to admit that the news he brought is definitely very attractive to Bao. Especially now, when the transformation of Qiao Yan's body has repeatedly failed to make deeper progress, it makes people's yearning for that place even deeper.
Cui Pumu also knew that she couldn't stop Ah Bao, so she could only be equipped with enough manpower before reluctantly letting her go.
The group walked for two months to reach Guizhou, and then traveled through the mountains for a whole month before finally arriving at Chu Wenzheng's tribe.
Chu Wenzheng grew up in a cottage called Qiuyun Village, there were only four or five hundred people in the village, but almost every family raised Gu. As soon as he stepped into the gate of the village and heard the familiar sound of insects, Ah Bao couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath, with a happy smile on his face.
Qiao Yan followed behind her, and said with a smile when she saw this: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a place on the territory of my New Tang Dynasty." When you arrive at this place, you will return to the water like a swimming fish, and you must have improved your Gu skills a lot. ”
"Well, I'm going to take care of you thoroughly. Po nodded.
Qiao Yan smiled even more happily. "I'll wait!"
Little Lady Qiao grabbed Qiao Yan's sleeve from the moment she entered the door and refused to let go. "Brother, I'm afraid!" she whispered.
As long as she thought that there were little bugs everywhere that scared her, she was so scared that she wanted to cry. Now her whole body shrunk into a small ball, and she followed behind Qiao Yan step by step, like a little tail.
Qiao Yan couldn't cry or laugh: "I told you a long time ago, this place is like this, if you are really afraid, don't come with me, but you don't listen." Now that I'm here and now, why don't I call someone to send me back now?"
"I don't want to! I'm going to take care of you with me!"
"Are you taking care of me, are you taking care of me now?" Qiao Yan was helpless.
"Then I don't care, anyway, I just want to be by your side. I won't go anywhere until you're good!"
Qiao Yan was powerless. "Since you have decided to follow me, then you should behave boldly, you see, the county lord, she is younger than you, and she turned out to be so down-and-out and generous, aren't you ashamed to look at her like this?"
"I'm ashamed of myself! I've been ashamed of myself these days, and I'm used to it. Little Lady Qiao said.
Qiao Yan couldn't afford to roll her eyes, she had nothing to say to her.
He found that after getting along with Ah Xuan and Ah Ping's little ladies for a long time, his Ah Mei's mouth has become more and more sharp, and he can barely talk about her. I knew that I should have sent her back to Wuzhou.
Chu Wenzheng led the way. Hearing the conversation between the Qiao brothers and sisters in the back, he turned around and smiled at Ah Bao: "This brother and sister have a really good relationship. If I had a sister, she would be so cute and cute...... Hey!"
Po bowed. "Little lady Joe is very cute. ”
"Yes, I can't bear to think that such a little lady is about to be frightened!" Chu Wenzheng sighed regretfully.
Po immediately twisted his eyebrows. "What do you mean by that?"
"You'll know in a moment. Chu Wenzheng smiled mysteriously, and immediately turned his head and pointed forward, "That's my house! Let's go, I'll be there soon!"
Chu Wenzheng's father is the Great Gu Master of Qiuyun Village, and he is also the lord of Qiuyun Village. In Miao Village, the lord of a village has always been the person with the strongest Gu art. As lords, their dwellings are naturally the most majestic and elaborate in the stockade.
The architectural style and clothing of Miao Village are different from those of the Central Plains, and after the little lady Qiao came in, she couldn't help but look around, and her heart was amazed. Ah Bao and Qiao Yan were better, but their eyes were also obviously full of surprise.
With Chu Wenzheng's guidance, they entered a spacious courtyard and were taken to a small two-story bamboo building at the back. On the second floor of the bamboo building, you can see countless small boxes containing small insects everywhere, and surrounded by these small boxes, an elderly man wearing Miao costumes sits in the center, facing an open box and chanting.
"Ah, bugs! so many bugs! Brother, help!"
Seeing this scene, Little Lady Qiao immediately screamed in fright, and went into Qiao Yan's arms.
Her scream woke up the old man, he opened his eyes suddenly, and two eye knives flew over, which made the little lady Qiao shrink her neck and hide directly behind her brother.
Qiao Yan hurriedly bowed and apologized.
Chu Wenzheng also stepped forward and said, "Daddy, I'm back." He also brought back the Qingyang County Lord and his human Gu together. ”
Chu Xiong restrained his anger at this time, but his face was still not very good-looking. He swept his gaze and was the first to see Qiao Yan, with a satisfied chin, and then at Ah Bao, and then to look at Bao, and to bow again. But when he found the little lady Qiao who was hiding behind Qiao Yan and only showed one head, his face sank again: "What is this person here for?"
"Daddy is angry, she is the sister of this person's Gu, come and take a look this time. Chu Wenzheng said busily.
Chu Xiong lowered his face: "Qiuyun Village never shelters useless people!"
"Daddy rest assured, she will stay here for a few days. When the business was done, she left. Chu Wenzheng hurriedly explained.
Only then did Chu Xiong bow his head: "That's it, let's take people down first! ”
When Little Lady Qiao heard this, she hurriedly grabbed Qiao Yan's arm and didn't let go. When Bao heard this, he also said, "He will go with us." ”
Chu Xiong glared: "Do you know what will happen if you disobey my orders in Qiuyun Village?"
Po casually flicked it, and saw a white and chubby little bug struggling and writhing between her index and middle fingers. "Is this what you're talking about?"
"Ah!" As soon as she saw this kind of bug, Little Lady Qiao screamed again, and Qiao Yan hurriedly covered her mouth.
When Chu Xiong saw this picture, he immediately stared at him, and sat up directly. "How did you catch my bugs?"
"When I saw it flying over, I grabbed it. Po said indifferently.
Chu Xiong's eyes were slowly clouded, his hands were also on the table, and the person slowly sat back down.
"I see, you seem to be a little more powerful than I said in my letter. In that case, today I will give you a face. Let's go down together!"
The tone of this charity made Bao's eyebrows twist again. Chu Wenzheng hurriedly stepped forward: "County Lord, please come here, come with me, let's take a short rest first, and I'll take you around this house in a while." There are a lot of treasures here, you're going to love it!"
"Hmm. Po nodded, and then turned around and walked with him.
Until she got out of this two-story small bamboo building, Little Lady Qiao still felt chills all over, she couldn't help but grab Qiao Yan with one hand, and grab Ah Bao with the other: "Brother, county lord, I think this place is so evil, let's not stay! I want to go home!"
"Siniang, it's okay. Qiao Yan still persuaded her softly, but where could Little Lady Qiao still listen?
It's just that since Brother Ah and the county lord refused to leave, she couldn't leave, so she could only follow them step by step. At night, she still stayed by Qiao Yan's side and refused to leave.
"Brother, I'm afraid. She said pitifully, "Do you think there will be worms crawling into my mouth while I'm sleeping?"
"With me, even if a worm does crawl in, I can't save you. Qiao Yan said.
Little Lady Qiao was immediately stunned. "So what to do?"
This silly appearance made Qiao Yan laugh.
"That's it, come with me!" he took Ah Mei's hand and took her to Ah Bao.
Ah Bao was changing his clothes and planning to rest, when he saw their brother and sister coming, he showed a slight surprise on his face: "It's so late, but what's the matter?"
"County Lord, my sister has just arrived, and she is scared to sleep alone, or you can help me take care of her for a few nights!" Qiao Yan said.
"Brother!" Little Lady Qiao never thought that he would speak so helpfully, so she quickly grabbed his hand in turn.
"Okay!" Unexpectedly, hearing him say this, Ah Bao immediately agreed.
Little Lady Qiao was stunned again.
She actually said yes? She originally thought Po would refuse!
Qiao Yan pushed her over with a smile: "I'll just say it, the county master is very good." ”
After handing the man over to Po, he turned and left. Little Lady Qiao stood in place, only to feel very uncomfortable with her hands and feet, but Ah Bao quickly lay down: "You won't come to sleep, right?"
"Ah, here, here!" the little lady Qiao hurriedly trotted all the way over.
Although she is also very afraid of the little bugs on Bao's body, but thinking about this place, the two people she is most familiar with are only Bao and her own brother. But men and women don't kiss, it's not appropriate to spend the night with my brother, and now only Ah Bao can give her a little sense of security. So, she gritted her teeth and stepped on the steps of the strong man who would never return.
This night...... Of course nothing happened. The next few nights were uneventful.
The next day, Chu Wenzheng brought Ah Bao and Qiao Yan to Chu Xiong again, this person's attitude was still as high as the day before, but his eyes were obviously a little more enthusiastic when he looked at Ah Bao. And once they talked about Gu worms, and then talked about Qiao Yan, a Gu person, everyone became more and more convinced.
With Chu Xiong's help, they really made a new Gu worm, and after using it for Qiao Yan, the effect was greatly improved!
Seeing this, Little Lady Qiao finally felt a lot more relieved.
In a blink of an eye, they stayed in Miao Village for more than a month.
Here, Ah Bao seemed to have arrived in heaven, in addition to studying Qiao Yan's situation with Brother Chu every day, he also went out to visit everywhere with Chu Wenzheng, studying various local Gu techniques, and gained a lot. Qiao Yan was left by Chu Xiong's side, observing his state day and night, and was very curious about him.
Only Little Lady Qiao, she was nervous to take precautions around at first, but then she also let go, and she also began to walk around in a small area.
On this day, she went out for a stroll again, but found that a few young ladies of the Miao nationality were dyeing cloth by the waterside to make new silver jewelry, and several people were chattering and laughing in Miao language. Although Qiao Xiaoniang doesn't understand Miao language, but after coming for so long, she has also learned a few words, from these people's mouths, she vaguely heard the words "bride" and "foreign", and her heart suddenly shrank!
Hurriedly walked forward, who knew that when those little ladies saw her coming, they immediately shut up and talked about other things. Seeing this, Little Lady Qiao felt more and more strange in her heart.
In the evening, she hurriedly said to Ah Bao: "County Lord, I found out that something is wrong, they seem to want to keep you as the bride of their little lord!"
