Friends, after much deliberation, the only person who can send this letter is you.I said you belonged to Lu Shaodong's family in Zhonghan, and those bandits immediately gave us meat buns after they sent the letter. "

Gu Xi slapped his thigh, laughed out loud, couldn't help himself, then watched Lu Xingliu's serious expression gradually restrain his smile, coughed lightly, and sat upright.

"I borrowed your name to delay the time. Anyway, my elder brother will definitely come to save me. My elder brother did not live up to my hope. He really came to save me before I was torn apart. He let the brother Sneak into the group of loan lenders, follow the clues, find out the gang and the bandits, and catch them all."

Lu Xingliu looked cold, and asked seemingly casually: "Then you never had any hope that I would come to rescue you from the beginning?"

"That's not true. The two of us who grew up wearing a pair of pants are closer than brothers." Gu Xi said, "I know that after you read the letter, you will definitely rush to rescue me without stopping. But Well, I don't know if this letter will reach you in time, and if you will arrive in time, so I don't dare to hope too much. Wow, you don't know, when I saw you today, I was really touched in my heart.”

Lu Xingliu put down his chopsticks: "Gu Xi, you must be short-hearted. Sooner or later, you will be punished."

Said it was Gu Xi's treat, but Gu Xi didn't have any money on him.Relying on his acquaintance with the shopkeeper, he planned to pay on credit for a few days, but Lu Xingliu couldn't stand it, so in the end it was Lu Xingliu who paid.

Lu Xingliu said: "I'll go back to Zhonghan tomorrow, and this meal will count as my treat for you."

Gu Xi has never been polite to Lu Xingliu since he was a child, so he agreed cheekily, and asked him why he didn't stay for a few more days after leaving the tavern.Gu Xidao: "You don't come to Yinzhou too often. You must have never been to many interesting places. I still want to take you for a stroll. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"I still have family business to take care of, and I have to go to Li's house to get a job in a few days." Lu Xingliu paid attention to his expression.

Gu Xi seemed ignorant, and said with crooked eyebrows: "So, your good news is coming soon? Congratulations. I don't think you can catch up with your marriage. When my old man recovers from his illness, the sister-in-law will give birth to another baby." Fat boy, I'll come to Zhonghan to see you again."

Lu Xing smiled bluntly and said "Thank you for your kindness", and walked straight forward.Gu Xi followed closely behind him and asked him why he walked so fast.

Summer time makes the sky moody, Gu Xi took Lu Xingliu on the way back to the inn, when suddenly it rained heavily.

Gu Xi's house is not far from here, so Gu Xi took him to his house first to avoid the rain.

Gu Xi's house is just a dilapidated small courtyard with white walls and black tiles.There are several fish tanks in the yard, which are full of fresh fish.

Gu Xi went to the old man's room first, opened a crack in the door, saw that the old man was already sleeping peacefully on the bed, and then went to the room of his younger siblings.His twin siblings were lying on the table playing chess, when they saw Gu Xi coming back, they hurriedly called "Brother" and ran to him, asking where he had been these few days.

Gu Xi didn't say anything, and after being vague, he asked them how they were going these few days.

Lu Xingliu thought that the family would be turned upside down after Gu Xi left for a few days, but he didn't expect his younger siblings to know nothing about his kidnapping.

Younger brother Gu Yi said: "Brother Zhao comes here every day, bringing us delicious food and medicine for grandpa."

The little girl Gu Ying continued: "We asked him where you had been, and he said that you had an urgent business and it would take you a few days to come back, so we have been waiting for you. Brother, where have you been these few days?"

Gu Xi pulled Lu Xingliu as a shield, and said, "Brother Lu wanted to come to Yinzhou to see us, but he was a road idiot and didn't know the way at all, so I went to pick him up in person. I was in a hurry, so I forgot to tell you guys That's it. This is your big brother Lu, he used to come to our house often, do you remember?"

The twin siblings looked at Lu Xingliu strangely, put their heads together and whispered something.Gu Ying raised her head and asked, "Is it the elder brother who often bought us candy when we were young?"

Gu Yi was confused: "Which one?"

Gu Ying leaned against him with her elbow, turned her face and said softly: "My brother was locked in the room to study before, and Auntie asked us to guard the door and report to her whenever there was any movement. Every time he came to find him quietly Brother is playing, so give us candy."

Gu Xi deliberately coughed: "It's him."

The younger brother suddenly realized and nodded: "It's Brother Lu who my brother often mentions."

Lu Xingliu's eyes softened: "Does your brother often mention me?"

"I often mention it, he always misses you. He said that before he got into trouble, it was you who cleaned up the mess for him. This is the brother. Now we keep getting into trouble, and it's him who wipes our ass, saying that this day can't be passed. ..." The younger brother said a lot in one go, but Gu Xi covered his mouth.

Gu Xi said, "You talk too much." Then he pretended to hold a knife in his hand, and stabbed his younger brother in the chest a few times, with the sound of "hissing——" blood spurting out of his mouth.The younger sister laughed "giggling" aside.

Lu Xingliu felt that until now, Gu Xi still acted like a child when he was fighting with his younger siblings.

Lu Xingliu said that he came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts, so he gave the twin siblings a red envelope of 1000 taels of silver, which shocked the siblings into a daze.

Gu Xi took back the banknote and stuffed it into his arms: "What are you doing, they are still children. This is not good, it is easy to teach them badly."

Lu Xingliu thought for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, I was negligent, and I should change it to a smaller amount." Then, under Gu Xi's gratified gaze, he gave 100 taels to each of his siblings.

Gu Xi's expression froze. Just as he patted Lu Xingliu on the shoulder and called out "Boss", he was thinking about how to speak politely, when a girl hurriedly ran over from the next room. As soon as she stepped in, she said, "Gu Xi In the past, I knew that you died and came back. Where have you been fooling around these days? Those who didn’t know thought you were going to leave your family behind and run away. My house is leaking again, so hurry up and fix it for me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

The girl approached, looked at Lu Xingliu and said, "Hey, there are guests at home."

"This is my little Lu Xingliu." Gu Xi knew that she was not as easy to fool as his younger siblings, so he leaned closer to her and whispered, "I went to raise money for the old man to rescue the soldiers. This is the young master of the Zhonghan Lu family. .”

Gu Xi blinked at Lu Xingliu, then moved to his side, pointed at the girl and said, "This is the one I mentioned to you just now, Big Brother Sun's younger sister, Sun Yu."

The big brother Sun that Gu Xi mentioned was Sun Zhiheng, the admonishing doctor back then. He was once a student of Gu Xi's father, and his ancestral home is Yinzhou.After Gu Xi's father was involved in the court struggle, he was framed and beheaded and ransacked his home. Sun Zhiheng was also implicated in pleading for Mr. Gu, was dismissed from office and exiled together, and finally died in a foreign country.

The Holy Majesty is still kind, and Gu's father's crime did not implicate the two descendants.Gu Xi brought a pair of young siblings to Yinzhou to take care of Sun Zhiheng's old father, that is what he called the old man, and Sun Yu, the little sister of the Sun family in front of him.

Sun Yu sharp-eyed saw the shining bank notes in the hands of her younger siblings, and when she saw Lu Xingtong's pomp, she knew that he was a distinguished guest, so she hurriedly asked him to sit down, very eagerly.She asked why Gu Xi didn't tell him that he had such a friend earlier, turned his face and told him to repair the roof quickly, and went to the stove to boil water and make tea by himself.

Gu Xi went to the next room and saw a few water jets leaking from the roof, and a few wooden basins below to catch the rainwater, so he knew that the roof could not be repaired.

Gu Xi asked Lu Xingliu to sit in the room, and he hurried to the next room to find a coir raincoat and bamboo hat to put on, and went out carrying the toolbox and wooden ladder.

Lu Xingliu asked his siblings for umbrellas, and followed Gu Xi out.The rainy day was slippery. Lu Xingliu looked at Gu Xi who was carrying a box and climbed the wooden ladder to the roof. He stabilized the wooden ladder underneath and said, "Be careful, don't fall. Do you need my help?"

Gu Xi climbed up to the roof and smiled at him: "Don't worry, I've repaired it several times."

As Gu Xi said, he took out the tools and squatted on the roof to repair it. It took a long time to repair it, from the rain dripping to the rain gradually easing up.He finally wiped the mixed sweat and rain on his face, stood up on the roof, and was about to get off, but then his feet slipped and he accidentally fell off the roof.

Before Lu Xingliu had time to react, Gu Xi had already fallen into the muddy ground, splashing dirty water all over his body.Lu Xingliu hurried over to help him up, he held his ankle in pain and said he twisted his foot.

The commotion was so loud that even Sun Yu, who was boiling water in the kitchen, heard it.When she came out and saw Gu Xi who fell down, she was also startled.

Lu Xingliu threw the umbrella aside, picked up Gu Xi and asked him which room he slept in.Before Gu Xi could speak, the two siblings standing on the edge of the corridor pointed to a room opposite.

Lu Xingliu asked Sun Yu, who came to help, to boil more hot water, and took him back to the house. He asked him to take off all the wet raincoats and bamboo hats, and threw them at the door of the house.

Lu Xingliu went to the kitchen to bring the kettle back and mixed it with warm bath water for him.After serving the limping Gu Xi, Lu Xingliu took a bath, changed his clothes, gave him medicine, and then helped him to lie down and sleep.

Gu Xi was a little embarrassed, saying that he had caused him a lot of trouble.

Lu Xingliu said unhappily: "You have caused me so little trouble since I was a child? Not bad this time. Go to sleep, I'm going back to the inn."

Gu Xi held his arm and asked, "Hey, do you know the way? How about I see you off?"

"Your feet are like this, how can you send me off? I will ask the way if you don't know the way, you can sleep at ease." Lu Xingliu held his arm instead, stuffed his hand into the bed, and tucked the corner of the quilt.

Only then did Lu Xingliu realize that Gu Xi was really skinny, his arms were like sticks of firewood.he was born before
