The moment he entered the door, Gu Xingzhai subconsciously caught Lin Xiaodong who was rushing towards him.
But the next second he regretted it.
Hearing the sound of gasping for air coming from the courtyard behind him, Gu Xingzhai dragged the young man's wrist into the study without expression, turned around and closed the door forcefully.
I believe that within two days, all the men, women and children in the town will know that his former "concubine" traveled thousands of miles for love, and finally the lovers finally got married... shit.
"What the hell are you doing?" The man sat on the chair and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Lin Xiaodong was lying on the soft couch in front of him with a smile on his face, still not serious as before, but when Gu Xingzhai looked at him now, he would always unconsciously think of the intimacy of last night.He changed his sitting position uncomfortably to cover up: "Have you had breakfast?"
"Eat." Lin Xiaodong took the opportunity to tell the story of the butler coming to him, Gu Xingzhai was silent for a moment, then took out a thick old account book from the locked cabinet in the study and handed it to him: "Look at this. "
Lin Xiaodong took it and glanced at it briefly, and found that it was a detailed account book recording the expenditure of the family for the past ten years. He didn't bother to read it, so he simply let the system scan it directly, and found that the discrepancy in it was so large that the bookkeeper He didn't even bother to cover up—an egg costs three taels of silver, does he think he is the Empress Dowager Cixi! ?
"Where did you get this ledger?"
He didn't think the housekeeper would casually hand over such an important thing to Gu Xingzhai.
"Although my father has been bedridden for many years, he is not old-fashioned," Gu Xingzhai said calmly, "That Zhao man cheated, and he saw everything he did. I will deal with it when I come back, unfortunately..."
When mentioning Master Gu's death, the man couldn't help showing a sad and remorseful expression on his face.
"For so many years, you have been traveling abroad, and Master didn't let you come back to have a look?" Lin Xiaodong was also quite strange, it stands to reason that Gu Xingzhai shouldn't be such a person. You can't contact your family before?"
"You have read too many stories." Gu Xingzhai sighed, "There is no sect or faction that would have such inhuman rules. It's just that three years ago I went to Beijing with my master to do something for a certain high-ranking official, saying it was to get rid of evil. , but no one expected that it would take three years to get rid of demons. After hundreds of demon slayers left the customs, ten of them were still alive, and my master and I were also seriously injured. letter, hurried back to Qingxie Town, unexpectedly, in the end it was still a step late."
"……No wonder."
Lin Xiaodong thought in his heart that it was no wonder that when he saw Gu Xingzhai for the first time in the mourning hall, the man's complexion was not much better than that of Master Gu who was lying in the coffin, and it was only recently that he looked like a man.
However, what kind of powerful evil barrier can trap hundreds of demon exorcists for three full years, and even damage more than half of them?
Gu Xingzhai knew what Lin Xiaodong was thinking just by glancing at him.
But what happened in those three years was too bizarre, even if he told it, no one would believe it.
In this vast world, human beings are the primates of all things after all, just like the succubus, who clearly lives on the yang energy of human beings, but is always hunted and hunted by demon exorcisers to survive. The top demon slayers of all major sects are hardened by one's own strength.
However, in the first year, Gu Xingzhai witnessed the fall of countless demon slayers, which completely broke the worldview he had established for more than ten years;
In the second year, his heart had long been numb to this, and he was even ready to sacrifice at any time;
In the third year, when he was on the verge of death, Gu Xingzhai finally discovered the truth about the "crime" they had been dealing with—
It wasn't an evil at all, but a dying dragon vein.
The official from Kyoto invited them demon slayers here because he wanted to use their lives to make up for the precarious fate of the dynasty!
How many capable people and strangers have found it difficult to continue the matter of changing fate against the sky?
Changes of dynasties and changes of dragon veins have existed since ancient times. The predecessors have known the truth for a long time, but because they are concerned about the lives of tens of millions of Li people behind them, they dare not retreat easily, and finally sacrificed on this meaningless matter.
Gu Xingzhai thought of the tragic scene at that time, and his clenched fists trembled uncontrollably.
In the last year, although he and his master were lucky enough to survive, but the master was seriously injured due to old age, and his skills were exhausted. It is estimated that he would not be able to last for a few years; Almost all of them were killed in battle, and only the younger generation who were ordered to stay behind to support them remained.
Even if Master Shishu and the others left without any worries, saying that the Huaxia inheritance is not extinct, and that there will be endless life in the future, Gu Xingzhai can't swallow this breath no matter what.
If it wasn't for that official in Kyoto, if it wasn't for him... those seniors wouldn't have died either!
"Are you ok?"
Gu Xingzhai suddenly came back to his senses.
The young man bent down and looked at him with concern on his face, his warm palm gently covering his fist, like some kind of silent relief.
Although Lin Xiaodong didn't know what happened, but when he saw Gu Xingzhai showing such a forbearing expression, he must have recalled some not-so-good memories, and when he thought about the current situation of life in this era, he basically understood everything. .
To be honest, he doesn't know how to comfort this kind of thing, so he can only try to find another topic to divert the man's attention: "By the way, I just thought of a good way, we can beat that surnamed Zhao by stealing money." One caught off guard!"
Gu Xingzhai exhaled slowly, wrapped his arms around his waist, hugged Lin Xiaodong to his lap, and quietly listened to his babbling, babbling, holding back his bad ideas, and felt the depression in his heart slowly dissipate, replaced by a faint sense of fulfillment warmth.And this feeling seems to be somewhat familiar...
A sense of disobedience passed through his heart.
Has he ever hugged someone in this posture before?
Gu Xingzhai frowned tightly, wanting to delve deeper into this inexplicable idea, but was quickly attracted by Lin Xiaodong's words.
"Switch?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, how do you change?"
Lin Xiaodong showed a smirk, he listened to him, and said in a low voice, "It's just..."
After a while, Gu Xingzhai understood.
"That's a good idea," he nodded affirmatively, "Okay, I'll do as you said."
the next day.
Lin Xiaodong was still eating lunch, and the butler had been waiting by the side early on. Although he didn't speak, just looking at his sweaty and anxious appearance, he looked like a father who loves his son very much.
"Okay." Seeing this, Lin Xiaodong didn't have any appetite to continue eating. He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Don't wipe your sweat, just go."
"Miss, I'll lead the way!" the housekeeper hurriedly said.
His home is not too far from Gu's residence, but Lin Xiaodong still didn't expect it to be so luxurious. Just looking at the decoration of the door, it is not far from the appearance of Gu's residence.Walking through the vestibule to the backyard, he noticed that almost all the rooms were tightly closed, and the whole courtyard was unnaturally quiet—it stands to reason that for such a large home, at least one or two servants should be hired to clean it, right?
"Miss," the butler saw that he was distracted, coughed and raised his voice, as if deliberately trying to divert Lin Xiaodong's attention, "We're here."
Lin Xiaodong glanced at him indifferently until he saw the smile on the butler's face stiffened, then said "um" inexplicably, and stepped into the room.
This room is very large, and the furniture inside can be seen to be of great value, but the taste is really unflattering.The little fat man who had met once was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and he had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. There was also a woman in gold and silver sitting on the bed and wiping tears.From the looks of it, it's really not an act of being sick.
"Miss, my son has been bedridden for several days." Seeing his son's sickly appearance, the butler's tone couldn't help becoming anxious, "I've seen the doctors in the town, but it didn't help. Eat it. I also vomited up all the medicine I took! Take a look, what should I do?"
The woman even took Lin Xiaodong's hand and choked with sobs: "Miss, please save our ball! Just show kindness, for the sake of Lao Zhao's dedication to the Gu family, it's pitiful." Our family..."
Lin Xiaodong pulled out his hand calmly, and smiled softly on the surface: "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best."
He walked up to the little fat man, pretended to feel his pulse, and asked the system to write some prescriptions on paper.The housekeeper held the piece of paper as if he had found a treasure, and immediately winked at his wife: "Hurry up and grab the medicine as the lady said!"
"I, I'm going right away!" The woman exchanged a tacit look with him, pretending to be flustered, and before Lin Xiaodong finished speaking, she hurried out the door with her skirt in her hands.
"What are you doing so fast? I haven't finished yet." Lin Xiaodong frowned.
"Say it, tell me, I'll listen to it," the housekeeper smiled apologetically, rolled his eyeballs, and asked casually, "Miss, let's sit in another room, so that the children don't have to worry about it." If you get sick, otherwise, if your delicate body also gets sick, then I, Old Zhao, will be guilty of a serious crime."
"Parasitic diseases won't be so easily contagious... Forget it." Lin Xiaodong stood up helplessly, as if he was persuaded by the housekeeper, "Where is the other room you mentioned?"
"It's next door!"
Seeing that he was so eloquent, the housekeeper was immediately overjoyed.But when he brought Lin Xiaodong into the house, without saying a word, he went out again under the banner of pouring tea, and never returned.
The old god Lin Xiaodong sat in the room on the ground, and looked around in a calm manner.
This is a very dark room, and a landscape screen divides the space into two parts, inside and outside.He sat in the inner cubicle, with only one small window on the wall near the north, facing a small deserted pond.There is an Eight Immortals table, two stools, and a very abrupt soft couch in the room—a blanket and a pillow are spread messily on it.
If the ladies were sitting here normally, they would definitely abide by the rules and not casually browse, and wait quietly for the butler to come back, but Lin Xiaodong didn't bother to care about this, so he got up and walked to the side of the soft couch, and lifted the blanket——
Sure enough, he found a series of indescribable small toys below.
"It's really up to you to fight for inheritance by ruining a woman's reputation." Lin Xiaodong laughed, and put the blanket back to its original place.If he guessed correctly, the person who will come in later should be...
"Little Dong?"
Hearing Gu Xingzhai's low voice with a hint of doubt, Lin Xiaodong, who was lying on the soft couch playing with beads, smiled.
Look, the fun has begun.
