My vest is not human [comprehensive martial arts]
Chapter 57: The Plague Ghost
The stockade on the mountain is not as good as the robbers said.
The huts made of bamboo and thatch can barely protect people from the wind and rain after soaking in the wet rain for many days.
The broken holes at the corners are dripping with water, and there are too many damaged places, which are repaired and repaired endlessly.The thieves gave up on repairs and directly placed a wooden barrel underneath to stop the rainwater from dripping around.
After returning home, they took off their bamboo hats and coir raincoats, revealing rough faces that were completely different from Gu Anning's.
It was only then that someone noticed something was wrong.
"Dry? Why didn't you get wet?"
Gu Anning looked at him with a smile.
The bandits went down the mountain to rob, and when they returned, they met Gu Anning and brought him back by the way.At this time, most of the people were sorting out the food and money they brought back from the mountain, except for Wang Siye who had been absent-mindedly glanced this way, no one noticed Gu Anning.
Wang Siye put something on the brother next to him, "I'll go over and have a look."
He ignored the playfulness and clamor of his brothers, came to Gu Anning, grabbed the little bandit by the neck, and pulled him aside, "What's wrong?"
"Fourth brother, I really didn't care about her. I just saw that she was drenched in the rain all the way, and I wanted to ask if I wanted to change clothes." The little bandit said, and he leaned up to Wang Sino, and whispered, "But the clothes on her Not a drop of water, even the hair is dry!"
Wang Siye was also shocked.
Could it be that this girl is not a lady of every family, but a master of internal skills who walks the rivers and lakes?
Generally speaking, the higher the martial arts, the weirder the temper.If she is really a member of the Jianghu, it is easy to understand her different reactions from ordinary people, and she will definitely not be a fool!
"Miss Yi..." This weird name is also very likely not her real name.Wang Shine paused, his attitude improved a lot, and he stopped calling her "little lady", "Where does the girl come from?"
Gu Anning tilted his head, as if he was very puzzled, he smiled and said, "Why do you always ask me these things?"
"curious."
Gu Anning had a good temper, he said, "I came from Fujian."
It rained not only in this one place, but the severity varies from place to place, and the plague ghosts did not leave plague seeds in all the towns along the way.It will only select some of the hardest hit places.
"The girl's accent is not like that." He said, "It's raining, why did the girl appear alone in the mountains?"
Gu Anning said sincerely, "I'm going to Yong'an County."
Yong'an County is at the foot of the mountain, and this group of bandits just came back from the mountain.
What else did he want to ask, after the rest of the people had divided up the loot, they finally remembered the beautiful woman he had brought with him on the way back.
A group of men have been holding back for a long time. It's not that they haven't encountered good-looking people when they robbed houses. It's just that there are too many monks and too little food, and too many wolves and too little meat, so they can't enjoy themselves at all.Although Gu Anning is the only one now, but he is good-looking, with delicate skin and tender flesh, which is not at all the same as the village women at the bottom of the mountain, so it is easier to arouse interest.
"Fourth brother, don't hang around her!" The leader said, "No matter how hard you try to coax a fart! It's better to have real swords and guns, let her see how powerful the brothers are!"
"Brother!" Wang Shine's expression changed.
"Go out if you don't want to do it, don't spoil the elegance of the brothers." Another person said, "Little girl looks good, we can't even support ourselves, and still have the interest to talk about love? It's business as usual, we can't Breaking the rules for you kid!"
Wang Siye still disagreed, "She is not an ordinary person! You can't treat her like this, it will bring disaster!"
"Cover his mouth and throw him out!" The eldest brother gave the order, and several men cheered happily, and threw Wang Sixe out.
The eldest brother took off his shirt, showing his strong chest, and walked towards Gu Anning. The others went out tactfully, but they didn't go far, and a few hid outside the door, listening with their ears pressed against the crack of the door.
He held Gu Anning's hand, "You're so good."
"If you have been so obedient, it is not impossible to save your life."
Gu Anning shook her head, "That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
"I've been dead for hundreds of years, how are you going to keep me alive?" Gu Anning was still gentle, his voice was not loud, and the smile on his face didn't change a bit, but what he said made the bandit's face change drastically.
"What did you say!" He let go of his hand, only to find that Gu An Ning's hand was firmly attached, as if the skin and flesh had grown together and could not be separated.
If the bandit boss thought that Gu Anning was playing tricks just now, he really believed it now.
He thought of what Wang Shine said just now, and only then realized that Wang Shine's words were not about defense, but deep fear.He wanted to yell and let the brothers outside the door come in.
Seeing his intention, Gu Anning stretched out her hand to touch his lips, and then he couldn't make a sound.
The bandit boss looked at him in horror.
He felt Gu Anning's hand, although it was still soft, it was as cold as ice.
It's not the temperature that a living person should have!
"What do you want to do with me? Let me guess." The plague ghost didn't even know his own gender, and he didn't know anything about men and women. He thought about the bandit's actions just now, "You want to hug me? ...I remembered, and then took me to the bed and put me on top of me?"
That's how his disease spread.
Gu Anning's speech was very slow, coupled with his beautifully blurred gender face, it gave people a fatal tenderness.
Knowing that ghosts and ghosts will bring disaster, but still can't help but be moved.
"Let's try?" Gu Anning said, walking side by side to the bed.
He said, "I have never tried to leave the vaccine in this way."
He lay down on the wet bed, his black hair covered half of the bed, then he pulled the bandit suddenly, bit him, and sent the plague over.
The door was kicked open from the outside, and two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the room.
They saw the shirtless Bandit Boss and the neatly dressed Gu An Ning at a glance.
Although nothing can be seen from the clothes, the posture of the two is indeed indecent.
The girl put the broken lantern into Young Master Jinyi's arms, used lightness kung fu to come to Gu Anning's side, grabbed the bandit boss by the neck, and threw him to the ground.
"Are you okay?" she asked concerned.
Gu Anning looked at her blankly and shook her head.
After planting the plague, he suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, looking expressionless and indifferent.
The girl didn't feel that he was indifferent, she was careless on the surface, but she was actually a sentimental girl.Gu Anning was taken away by bandits and experienced this kind of thing again, no matter how indifferent he was, he could not conceal the confusion and anxiety in his heart.
"Are you injured?"
Gu Anning shook her head, "No."
The bandit who was thrown to the ground felt the bondage on his body disappear the moment he was touched by Gu Anning.Before he could resist, he was thrown down by another girl.
Still in a state of shock, he now looks like a ghost to everyone, but the newcomers, both male and female, are of good looks, and at first glance, he is with the female ghost in red!
His hands and feet were so frightened that he scrambled on the ground and wanted to run outside.The girl who came later suddenly gave a sharp look, cursed in Cantonese Mandarin, and finally said, "It's better to kill it!"
The bandit boss kowtowed in fright, "I know I was wrong, please forgive the young one, I really know I was wrong, I don't dare to do it again..."
"For the sake of your sincere repentance, I will spare your lives." Young Master Jinyi walked over slowly with a dripping oil-paper umbrella. Walking among the flowers, the corners of his mouth were naturally smiling, but his eyes were extremely serious, "Take your brother and surrender to the government."
Saved a life, the bandit boss heaved a sigh of relief.
There are bandits on several nearby mountains, and the government can't control them at all.Even if he surrendered himself, he would just spend a few days in a prison, and there would be no danger of his life.
He kowtowed repeatedly and was about to leave when Gu Anning said, "You can't go to the government."
"How does Miss want to deal with him?" Mr. Jinyi thought she had been humiliated, and felt unhappy in his heart.
Gu Anning's answer was beyond their expectations, "Don't go to the government, other than that, it can be the same as before."
He has the disease on his body, and in a few days he will get the disease, and everyone who lives with him will be infected.As long as they continue to go down the mountain to rob, Yongan County at the foot of the mountain will also be covered by the plague.
But if you go to the government, you will be in big trouble.
The floods have already killed the farmland. If the people in the government are infected with the plague first, no one will be able to help the villagers.They can only beg and become refugees like other less affected villages.
The spread of the disease will not stop, and people in Yong'an County will be infected with the disease wherever they go.At that time, no one would dare to take them in, so they could only starve to death.
If the population is brought under control after the outbreak of the epidemic, coupled with the help of the imperial court, there is still a possibility of a cure.
Gu Anning thought for a while and threatened, "If I see you go to the government, it won't be as simple as it is now."
The two men and one woman in the room couldn't understand Gu Anning's words.
Gu Anning got off the bed, walked to Mr. Jinyi, looked at the lantern in his hand, "My lantern."
Young Master Jin Yi handed the lamp in front of him, sighed, "Tian'er said she would bring it for the girl, but it's a pity that it has been soaked in water."
Gu Anning felt that he looked a little familiar, maybe the plague ghost had met him when he was wandering in the world.
Without changing his face, he took the lantern calmly, "Thank you."
He held the red lantern in his hand and fiddled with it for a while, as if by a magic trick, it returned to its original shape.Even the candles inside were lit.
Song Tian'er jumped over and said in surprise, "It's amazing! How did you do this?"
Gu Anning smiled at her, but did not answer.
The bandit was a mortal, and he didn't dare to get involved with ghosts and gods. He tried his best to minimize his sense of existence, and didn't make a sound.
"I should go." Gu Anning held the lantern in his hand again, and the red clothes on his body became brighter and redder.
The plague ghost and the lantern should have been one.
Song Tian'er said, "But it's getting dark, and it's still raining outside, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Even if you have a lantern, it can only light up a little bit of the road, which is very dangerous. Why don't you spend the night here, with me and Chu Big brother is here, no one will bully you!"
Gu An Ning shook his head, and walked out of the house with a lantern.
"What should I do?" Song Tian'er asked.
Chu Liuxiang touched her nose, "It looks like she knows the way."
Song Tian'er said, "Then let's go down the mountain with her!"
They chased it out, but after going out, they didn't see the red figure.
Chu Liuxiang caught a bandit and asked, "Which way did the girl in red go out just now?"
Before he entered the house to rescue Gu An Ning, he knocked out the bandits outside, so the people outside did not respond at all when he rescued them.
The bandit was terrified when he saw him, and he replied honestly, "Hero, spare your life! No one comes out of the house, and every little sentence is true, and I dare not tell half a lie!"
Song Tian'er snorted coldly, "Things who bully the weak and fear the strong, we saw her come out with our own eyes, and dare to lie?"
Chu Liuxiang pondered for a moment, and stopped Song Tian'er from hitting someone, "He really has no reason to lie. And don't you think that the reaction of the bandits in the room just now is not right?"
"Brother Chu is saying... that girl is actually very good at martial arts?"
Chu Liuxiang looked at her with a smile and did not refute.
His observation skills are good, and of course he found that there was no sand on the soles of Gu Anning's shoes, and he... After lighting the candles in the lantern, there was no shadow.
"It's getting dark." Chu Liuxiang sighed.
· Gu Anning left the mission and went home.
He has already left the epidemic seed, and the next thing to do is to go back and check on time to determine the spread of the epidemic.
It was afternoon before he went to bed, and it was midnight now.
Gu Anning lay in a daze for a while, and only woke up after the discomfort caused by Yin Qi passed and she got used to it again.
The man I met just now is Chu Liuxiang!
No wonder it looked so familiar, it turned out that it was not the person in the plague ghost's memory, but someone he met when he was doing the mission before.
Gu Anning got off the bed and touched the small kitchen, but unexpectedly saw Qiutang standing by the stove in a daze.
"Second Young Master, you're awake!" Hearing his footsteps, Qiutang suddenly came back to her senses, "Are you hungry? It's enough to call the servants, why did you come here by yourself?"
Gu Anning still felt that her tone was coaxing a child.
"Is there any more mooncakes?" Qiutang must have poured medicine into his mouth again when he was doing the task, so that after waking up, his mouth was full of bitter taste, and his mouth was dry and astringent, but not the dryness of thirst. feeling bad.
"There's red bean soup, would Second Young Master want to drink it?"
"Have a bowl."
Qiutang should be cooking soup in the kitchen.
When the lid is opened, a strong bean aroma wafts out from inside.
Qiutang took out a small white porcelain bowl, filled it slowly, and sprinkled a fine layer of brown sugar on it.
The beans are boiled to bloom, and the portion is very generous, which is perfect for a late night snack.
It's just that there aren't many places to sit in the kitchen, so Qiutang brought the soup bowl back to the room with Gu Anning, and the food in the bowl wasn't hot at this time, just enough to eat.
Gu Anning ate half a bowl of red beans, and took another sip of soup, "Have Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue left?"
"Simen Chuuxue left after Young Master fell asleep. Lu Xiaofeng waited for a while and left after dinner at home." Qiutang said, "When he left, he also brought two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine."
Gu Anning smiled, "He did say that the sweet-scented osmanthus wine you make is delicious."
Qiu Tang said again, "Lord Gu is also on his way back to Beijing. His big day will be in a few days, and Eldest Young Master has agreed to attend the wedding banquet."
"what about me?"
Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, Qiutang couldn't help laughing, "Although Yanbei is not far from the capital, they are two places. If your health is not good, naturally you have to stay at home and rest. There is nowhere else." Go."
Gu Anning said helplessly, "Qiutang...you're teasing me again."
"How dare a servant." Qiutang restrained her smile, pretending to be innocent.
After a while, she suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Gu Anning asked.
"Lu Xiaofeng and Master Gu both mentioned Ye Gucheng when they came this time. The two of them, one represents the troubles in Jianghu, and the other represents the troubles in the court. Neither is a good thing."
Gu Anning: "Are you worried that I will be involved?"
"The maidservant is not worried about the Second Young Master," Qiutang shook her head, "but worried about herself, and hurting the Gu Family Village."
She realized that she had said something wrong, and stopped quickly, "The servant got confused for a while and said some nonsense, the second son doesn't need to take it to heart."
"What do you mean that you are implicating the Gu family village? What does that mean?" Gu Anning just has little knowledge and simple thinking, but he is not stupid.Now that Qiutang has let it out, don't even think about fooling it.
"Second Young Master..." Qiutang smiled wryly, "Your servant is wrong, I should not have told you this, if the Eldest Young Master finds out, I will definitely punish you. Second Young Master, please stop asking."
"Then I'll ask Brother." Gu Anning stood up.
He moved a little fast, and his eyes instantly became dark, and a coolness swept from his heart.
Gu Anning loosened his hand, and the red bean soup bowl fell to the ground and broke into two halves.
Qiu Tang was not in the mood to take care of the soup bowl, so she quickly supported Gu An Ning to prevent him from falling.
Gu Anning fell many times.
There have been two times in recent months. One time, in the middle of the night, he fell off the bed and didn't even have the strength to stand up. He was half-supported and half-carried back to the bed by the servants, waking up half of the Gu family village.There was another time during the day, when Qiu Tang was not around, Gu Anning fainted in the grass, until now, there was still a shallow wound on his face, it might take a few days for it to heal.
"Second Young Master!" Qiu Tang exclaimed, almost dragging Gu An Ning back to the bed.
Gu Anning slowed down for a while, then said weakly, "I'm fine."
"Tough mouth." Qiutang touched his forehead, "Why does Second Young Master feel unwell?"
"It's really fine, I'll just take it easy." Gu Anning opened his eyes, his vision was clear again, and he smiled, "If you want to make me feel better, explain what you just said, I Make sure you don't let your brother know."
"My servant has really convinced you, and I'm still thinking about what I've said to you at this time." Qiutang smiled helplessly, let Gu Anning lie down, and covered him with a thin quilt, "The servant did not follow the eldest son from the beginning. At that time, I was in... Feixian Island in the South China Sea."
She looked at Gu Anning, "I think Lu Xiaofeng has already told you about the Ghost Villa."
Gu Anning nodded.
"Have you ever thought that Ye Lingfeng has been dead for so many years in the eyes of everyone, but the master and wife still made a marriage contract for Miss Ye Xue and the eldest son?"
Gu Anning froze for a moment, he really hadn't thought of this.
Qiutang said, "The servant is the owner of Ye City. Ye Lingfeng begged the servant to go, pretending to be Miss Ye Ling's maid, secretly protecting the two ladies and Mr. Ye Guhong. Later, the old knife announced that Ye Lingfeng was dead. , the servant girl was not too surprised. Ye Lingfeng still made a marriage contract for her "before he was alive", promising to marry her to the eldest son, and Gu Jiazhuang would marry the Ye family.
"On the surface of the Ye family, Ye Gucheng is the only one who has a prominent status in the world, but in fact he is the descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. The ancestors of Ye City Lord have been planning one thing for generations, and they ran Baiyun City for that. All the burdens were handed over to City Lord Ye. But he felt ashamed of City Lord Ye, and knew that there would be no good results, so he involved Miss Ye Xue and found Gujiazhuang for City Lord Ye as a helper."
Gu Anning was thoughtful.
Lu Xiaofeng told him that Ye Xue was actually not Ye Lingfeng's biological daughter.Ye Lingfeng chose to sacrifice her for a reason.
Qiu Tang said, "He has a very good plan, but it's a pity that Gu Family Village is not something he can plan."
"What happened next?"
Qiu Tang said, "Miss Ye Ling has a bad temper and occasionally offends people. The servants naturally have to protect the master, and when they come and go, they are discovered by the old swordsman. Seeing that the slaves are not weak in martial arts, he took Miss Ye Ling's life as proof." Coercion, asking the servant to do things for the ghost villa. Ye Lingfeng saw an opportunity, so he ordered the servant to pretend to be loyal, gain the trust of the old swordsman, and then kill him to avenge his hatred. Unfortunately, the servant is not comparable to the old swordsman's martial arts, nor can it be compared He's ruthless."
Qiu Tang smiled wryly, and it was not difficult for Gu Aning to imagine what kind of life she had lived in the past.
And at that time Qiutang was not very old.
"He fed poison to the servant and asked the servant to kill Ye Xue or Miss Ye Ling. If the servant didn't do it, he would ask the housekeeper to do it. None of Ye Lingfeng's three children would survive."
Gu Anning thought of something, couldn't help but hold his breath, "You chose Ye Xue?"
Qiutang nodded, "At that time, Ye Xue lived in Gujiazhuang."
"My parents' death has something to do with you?" Gu Anning was dazed, his hands trembling unceasingly, a suffocation feeling stronger than Yin Qi made the few blood on his face dissipate.
If it wasn't for lying on the bed, Gu Anning would probably pass out immediately.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, don't worry, the death of Master and Madam has nothing to do with this servant, please listen to this servant to continue to tell you." Qiu Tang kept giving him comfort, almost crying in anxiety.
Looking at her familiar face and the concern in her eyes, Gu Anning felt that he shouldn't think so much before she told her.
But he couldn't help it.
Because he didn't have that memory, and Mr. Gu said that he lost that memory only after being stimulated.
What Gu An Ning is most afraid of, and also the last thing he dares to think about... the parents who love him, actually died at the hands of Gu An Ning.
The more Young Master Gu hides it, the easier it is for Gu Anning to think too much.
Qiu Tang said, "Miss Ye Xue has a gentle temperament and is much easier to get along with than Miss Ye Ling. She has always been very good to the servants, but the servants really don't want to let go. The servants reminded Miss Ye Xue."
Qiutang omitted many things. At a young age, she was tortured by the petulant and willful Ye Ling to the point where she was left with half her life. Countless people were killed by the old knife. She missed her life in Feixian Island, but she couldn't go back. went.Ye Lingfeng will not let her go back, and Ye Gucheng will not take her in again.
Her hands were already stained with blood, and she was no longer the innocent little girl she was at first.
She told Ye Xue what the old knife had threatened her to do, and then planned to commit suicide, but was saved by Mr. Gu.
It can be said that Mr. Gu gave Qiutang hope.
The huts made of bamboo and thatch can barely protect people from the wind and rain after soaking in the wet rain for many days.
The broken holes at the corners are dripping with water, and there are too many damaged places, which are repaired and repaired endlessly.The thieves gave up on repairs and directly placed a wooden barrel underneath to stop the rainwater from dripping around.
After returning home, they took off their bamboo hats and coir raincoats, revealing rough faces that were completely different from Gu Anning's.
It was only then that someone noticed something was wrong.
"Dry? Why didn't you get wet?"
Gu Anning looked at him with a smile.
The bandits went down the mountain to rob, and when they returned, they met Gu Anning and brought him back by the way.At this time, most of the people were sorting out the food and money they brought back from the mountain, except for Wang Siye who had been absent-mindedly glanced this way, no one noticed Gu Anning.
Wang Siye put something on the brother next to him, "I'll go over and have a look."
He ignored the playfulness and clamor of his brothers, came to Gu Anning, grabbed the little bandit by the neck, and pulled him aside, "What's wrong?"
"Fourth brother, I really didn't care about her. I just saw that she was drenched in the rain all the way, and I wanted to ask if I wanted to change clothes." The little bandit said, and he leaned up to Wang Sino, and whispered, "But the clothes on her Not a drop of water, even the hair is dry!"
Wang Siye was also shocked.
Could it be that this girl is not a lady of every family, but a master of internal skills who walks the rivers and lakes?
Generally speaking, the higher the martial arts, the weirder the temper.If she is really a member of the Jianghu, it is easy to understand her different reactions from ordinary people, and she will definitely not be a fool!
"Miss Yi..." This weird name is also very likely not her real name.Wang Shine paused, his attitude improved a lot, and he stopped calling her "little lady", "Where does the girl come from?"
Gu Anning tilted his head, as if he was very puzzled, he smiled and said, "Why do you always ask me these things?"
"curious."
Gu Anning had a good temper, he said, "I came from Fujian."
It rained not only in this one place, but the severity varies from place to place, and the plague ghosts did not leave plague seeds in all the towns along the way.It will only select some of the hardest hit places.
"The girl's accent is not like that." He said, "It's raining, why did the girl appear alone in the mountains?"
Gu Anning said sincerely, "I'm going to Yong'an County."
Yong'an County is at the foot of the mountain, and this group of bandits just came back from the mountain.
What else did he want to ask, after the rest of the people had divided up the loot, they finally remembered the beautiful woman he had brought with him on the way back.
A group of men have been holding back for a long time. It's not that they haven't encountered good-looking people when they robbed houses. It's just that there are too many monks and too little food, and too many wolves and too little meat, so they can't enjoy themselves at all.Although Gu Anning is the only one now, but he is good-looking, with delicate skin and tender flesh, which is not at all the same as the village women at the bottom of the mountain, so it is easier to arouse interest.
"Fourth brother, don't hang around her!" The leader said, "No matter how hard you try to coax a fart! It's better to have real swords and guns, let her see how powerful the brothers are!"
"Brother!" Wang Shine's expression changed.
"Go out if you don't want to do it, don't spoil the elegance of the brothers." Another person said, "Little girl looks good, we can't even support ourselves, and still have the interest to talk about love? It's business as usual, we can't Breaking the rules for you kid!"
Wang Siye still disagreed, "She is not an ordinary person! You can't treat her like this, it will bring disaster!"
"Cover his mouth and throw him out!" The eldest brother gave the order, and several men cheered happily, and threw Wang Sixe out.
The eldest brother took off his shirt, showing his strong chest, and walked towards Gu Anning. The others went out tactfully, but they didn't go far, and a few hid outside the door, listening with their ears pressed against the crack of the door.
He held Gu Anning's hand, "You're so good."
"If you have been so obedient, it is not impossible to save your life."
Gu Anning shook her head, "That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
"I've been dead for hundreds of years, how are you going to keep me alive?" Gu Anning was still gentle, his voice was not loud, and the smile on his face didn't change a bit, but what he said made the bandit's face change drastically.
"What did you say!" He let go of his hand, only to find that Gu An Ning's hand was firmly attached, as if the skin and flesh had grown together and could not be separated.

That's how his disease spread.
Gu Anning's speech was very slow, coupled with his beautifully blurred gender face, it gave people a fatal tenderness.
Knowing that ghosts and ghosts will bring disaster, but still can't help but be moved.
"Let's try?" Gu Anning said, walking side by side to the bed.
He said, "I have never tried to leave the vaccine in this way."
He lay down on the wet bed, his black hair covered half of the bed, then he pulled the bandit suddenly, bit him, and sent the plague over.
The door was kicked open from the outside, and two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the room.
They saw the shirtless Bandit Boss and the neatly dressed Gu An Ning at a glance.

Gu Anning shook her head, "No."
The bandit who was thrown to the ground felt the bondage on his body disappear the moment he was touched by Gu Anning.Before he could resist, he was thrown down by another girl.

The bandit boss kowtowed in fright, "I know I was wrong, please forgive the young one, I really know I was wrong, I don't dare to do it again..."
"For the sake of your sincere repentance, I will spare your lives." Young Master Jinyi walked over slowly with a dripping oil-paper umbrella. Walking among the flowers, the corners of his mouth were naturally smiling, but his eyes were extremely serious, "Take your brother and surrender to the government."
Saved a life, the bandit boss heaved a sigh of relief.
There are bandits on several nearby mountains, and the government can't control them at all.Even if he surrendered himself, he would just spend a few days in a prison, and there would be no danger of his life.

He has the disease on his body, and in a few days he will get the disease, and everyone who lives with him will be infected.As long as they continue to go down the mountain to rob, Yongan County at the foot of the mountain will also be covered by the plague.
But if you go to the government, you will be in big trouble.
The floods have already killed the farmland. If the people in the government are infected with the plague first, no one will be able to help the villagers.They can only beg and become refugees like other less affected villages.
The spread of the disease will not stop, and people in Yong'an County will be infected with the disease wherever they go.At that time, no one would dare to take them in, so they could only starve to death.
If the population is brought under control after the outbreak of the epidemic, coupled with the help of the imperial court, there is still a possibility of a cure.
Gu Anning thought for a while and threatened, "If I see you go to the government, it won't be as simple as it is now."
The two men and one woman in the room couldn't understand Gu Anning's words.
Gu Anning got off the bed, walked to Mr. Jinyi, looked at the lantern in his hand, "My lantern."
Young Master Jin Yi handed the lamp in front of him, sighed, "Tian'er said she would bring it for the girl, but it's a pity that it has been soaked in water."
Gu Anning felt that he looked a little familiar, maybe the plague ghost had met him when he was wandering in the world.
Without changing his face, he took the lantern calmly, "Thank you."
He held the red lantern in his hand and fiddled with it for a while, as if by a magic trick, it returned to its original shape.Even the candles inside were lit.
Song Tian'er jumped over and said in surprise, "It's amazing! How did you do this?"
Gu Anning smiled at her, but did not answer.
The bandit was a mortal, and he didn't dare to get involved with ghosts and gods. He tried his best to minimize his sense of existence, and didn't make a sound.
"I should go." Gu Anning held the lantern in his hand again, and the red clothes on his body became brighter and redder.
The plague ghost and the lantern should have been one.
Song Tian'er said, "But it's getting dark, and it's still raining outside, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Even if you have a lantern, it can only light up a little bit of the road, which is very dangerous. Why don't you spend the night here, with me and Chu Big brother is here, no one will bully you!"
Gu An Ning shook his head, and walked out of the house with a lantern.
"What should I do?" Song Tian'er asked.
Chu Liuxiang touched her nose, "It looks like she knows the way."
Song Tian'er said, "Then let's go down the mountain with her!"
They chased it out, but after going out, they didn't see the red figure.
Chu Liuxiang caught a bandit and asked, "Which way did the girl in red go out just now?"
Before he entered the house to rescue Gu An Ning, he knocked out the bandits outside, so the people outside did not respond at all when he rescued them.
The bandit was terrified when he saw him, and he replied honestly, "Hero, spare your life! No one comes out of the house, and every little sentence is true, and I dare not tell half a lie!"
Song Tian'er snorted coldly, "Things who bully the weak and fear the strong, we saw her come out with our own eyes, and dare to lie?"
Chu Liuxiang pondered for a moment, and stopped Song Tian'er from hitting someone, "He really has no reason to lie. And don't you think that the reaction of the bandits in the room just now is not right?"
"Brother Chu is saying... that girl is actually very good at martial arts?"
Chu Liuxiang looked at her with a smile and did not refute.
His observation skills are good, and of course he found that there was no sand on the soles of Gu Anning's shoes, and he... After lighting the candles in the lantern, there was no shadow.
"It's getting dark." Chu Liuxiang sighed.
· Gu Anning left the mission and went home.
He has already left the epidemic seed, and the next thing to do is to go back and check on time to determine the spread of the epidemic.
It was afternoon before he went to bed, and it was midnight now.
Gu Anning lay in a daze for a while, and only woke up after the discomfort caused by Yin Qi passed and she got used to it again.
The man I met just now is Chu Liuxiang!
No wonder it looked so familiar, it turned out that it was not the person in the plague ghost's memory, but someone he met when he was doing the mission before.
Gu Anning got off the bed and touched the small kitchen, but unexpectedly saw Qiutang standing by the stove in a daze.
"Second Young Master, you're awake!" Hearing his footsteps, Qiutang suddenly came back to her senses, "Are you hungry? It's enough to call the servants, why did you come here by yourself?"
Gu Anning still felt that her tone was coaxing a child.
"Is there any more mooncakes?" Qiutang must have poured medicine into his mouth again when he was doing the task, so that after waking up, his mouth was full of bitter taste, and his mouth was dry and astringent, but not the dryness of thirst. feeling bad.
"There's red bean soup, would Second Young Master want to drink it?"
"Have a bowl."
Qiutang should be cooking soup in the kitchen.
When the lid is opened, a strong bean aroma wafts out from inside.
Qiutang took out a small white porcelain bowl, filled it slowly, and sprinkled a fine layer of brown sugar on it.
The beans are boiled to bloom, and the portion is very generous, which is perfect for a late night snack.
It's just that there aren't many places to sit in the kitchen, so Qiutang brought the soup bowl back to the room with Gu Anning, and the food in the bowl wasn't hot at this time, just enough to eat.
Gu Anning ate half a bowl of red beans, and took another sip of soup, "Have Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue left?"
"Simen Chuuxue left after Young Master fell asleep. Lu Xiaofeng waited for a while and left after dinner at home." Qiutang said, "When he left, he also brought two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine."
Gu Anning smiled, "He did say that the sweet-scented osmanthus wine you make is delicious."
Qiu Tang said again, "Lord Gu is also on his way back to Beijing. His big day will be in a few days, and Eldest Young Master has agreed to attend the wedding banquet."
"what about me?"
Seeing the anticipation in his eyes, Qiutang couldn't help laughing, "Although Yanbei is not far from the capital, they are two places. If your health is not good, naturally you have to stay at home and rest. There is nowhere else." Go."
Gu Anning said helplessly, "Qiutang...you're teasing me again."
"How dare a servant." Qiutang restrained her smile, pretending to be innocent.
After a while, she suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Gu Anning asked.
"Lu Xiaofeng and Master Gu both mentioned Ye Gucheng when they came this time. The two of them, one represents the troubles in Jianghu, and the other represents the troubles in the court. Neither is a good thing."
Gu Anning: "Are you worried that I will be involved?"
"The maidservant is not worried about the Second Young Master," Qiutang shook her head, "but worried about herself, and hurting the Gu Family Village."
She realized that she had said something wrong, and stopped quickly, "The servant got confused for a while and said some nonsense, the second son doesn't need to take it to heart."
"What do you mean that you are implicating the Gu family village? What does that mean?" Gu Anning just has little knowledge and simple thinking, but he is not stupid.Now that Qiutang has let it out, don't even think about fooling it.
"Second Young Master..." Qiutang smiled wryly, "Your servant is wrong, I should not have told you this, if the Eldest Young Master finds out, I will definitely punish you. Second Young Master, please stop asking."
"Then I'll ask Brother." Gu Anning stood up.
He moved a little fast, and his eyes instantly became dark, and a coolness swept from his heart.
Gu Anning loosened his hand, and the red bean soup bowl fell to the ground and broke into two halves.
Qiu Tang was not in the mood to take care of the soup bowl, so she quickly supported Gu An Ning to prevent him from falling.
Gu Anning fell many times.
There have been two times in recent months. One time, in the middle of the night, he fell off the bed and didn't even have the strength to stand up. He was half-supported and half-carried back to the bed by the servants, waking up half of the Gu family village.There was another time during the day, when Qiu Tang was not around, Gu Anning fainted in the grass, until now, there was still a shallow wound on his face, it might take a few days for it to heal.
"Second Young Master!" Qiu Tang exclaimed, almost dragging Gu An Ning back to the bed.
Gu Anning slowed down for a while, then said weakly, "I'm fine."
"Tough mouth." Qiutang touched his forehead, "Why does Second Young Master feel unwell?"
"It's really fine, I'll just take it easy." Gu Anning opened his eyes, his vision was clear again, and he smiled, "If you want to make me feel better, explain what you just said, I Make sure you don't let your brother know."
"My servant has really convinced you, and I'm still thinking about what I've said to you at this time." Qiutang smiled helplessly, let Gu Anning lie down, and covered him with a thin quilt, "The servant did not follow the eldest son from the beginning. At that time, I was in... Feixian Island in the South China Sea."
She looked at Gu Anning, "I think Lu Xiaofeng has already told you about the Ghost Villa."
Gu Anning nodded.
"Have you ever thought that Ye Lingfeng has been dead for so many years in the eyes of everyone, but the master and wife still made a marriage contract for Miss Ye Xue and the eldest son?"
Gu Anning froze for a moment, he really hadn't thought of this.
Qiutang said, "The servant is the owner of Ye City. Ye Lingfeng begged the servant to go, pretending to be Miss Ye Ling's maid, secretly protecting the two ladies and Mr. Ye Guhong. Later, the old knife announced that Ye Lingfeng was dead. , the servant girl was not too surprised. Ye Lingfeng still made a marriage contract for her "before he was alive", promising to marry her to the eldest son, and Gu Jiazhuang would marry the Ye family.
"On the surface of the Ye family, Ye Gucheng is the only one who has a prominent status in the world, but in fact he is the descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. The ancestors of Ye City Lord have been planning one thing for generations, and they ran Baiyun City for that. All the burdens were handed over to City Lord Ye. But he felt ashamed of City Lord Ye, and knew that there would be no good results, so he involved Miss Ye Xue and found Gujiazhuang for City Lord Ye as a helper."
Gu Anning was thoughtful.
Lu Xiaofeng told him that Ye Xue was actually not Ye Lingfeng's biological daughter.Ye Lingfeng chose to sacrifice her for a reason.
Qiu Tang said, "He has a very good plan, but it's a pity that Gu Family Village is not something he can plan."
"What happened next?"
Qiu Tang said, "Miss Ye Ling has a bad temper and occasionally offends people. The servants naturally have to protect the master, and when they come and go, they are discovered by the old swordsman. Seeing that the slaves are not weak in martial arts, he took Miss Ye Ling's life as proof." Coercion, asking the servant to do things for the ghost villa. Ye Lingfeng saw an opportunity, so he ordered the servant to pretend to be loyal, gain the trust of the old swordsman, and then kill him to avenge his hatred. Unfortunately, the servant is not comparable to the old swordsman's martial arts, nor can it be compared He's ruthless."
Qiu Tang smiled wryly, and it was not difficult for Gu Aning to imagine what kind of life she had lived in the past.
And at that time Qiutang was not very old.
"He fed poison to the servant and asked the servant to kill Ye Xue or Miss Ye Ling. If the servant didn't do it, he would ask the housekeeper to do it. None of Ye Lingfeng's three children would survive."
Gu Anning thought of something, couldn't help but hold his breath, "You chose Ye Xue?"
Qiutang nodded, "At that time, Ye Xue lived in Gujiazhuang."
"My parents' death has something to do with you?" Gu Anning was dazed, his hands trembling unceasingly, a suffocation feeling stronger than Yin Qi made the few blood on his face dissipate.
If it wasn't for lying on the bed, Gu Anning would probably pass out immediately.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, don't worry, the death of Master and Madam has nothing to do with this servant, please listen to this servant to continue to tell you." Qiu Tang kept giving him comfort, almost crying in anxiety.
Looking at her familiar face and the concern in her eyes, Gu Anning felt that he shouldn't think so much before she told her.
But he couldn't help it.
Because he didn't have that memory, and Mr. Gu said that he lost that memory only after being stimulated.
What Gu An Ning is most afraid of, and also the last thing he dares to think about... the parents who love him, actually died at the hands of Gu An Ning.
The more Young Master Gu hides it, the easier it is for Gu Anning to think too much.
Qiu Tang said, "Miss Ye Xue has a gentle temperament and is much easier to get along with than Miss Ye Ling. She has always been very good to the servants, but the servants really don't want to let go. The servants reminded Miss Ye Xue."
Qiutang omitted many things. At a young age, she was tortured by the petulant and willful Ye Ling to the point where she was left with half her life. Countless people were killed by the old knife. She missed her life in Feixian Island, but she couldn't go back. went.Ye Lingfeng will not let her go back, and Ye Gucheng will not take her in again.
Her hands were already stained with blood, and she was no longer the innocent little girl she was at first.
She told Ye Xue what the old knife had threatened her to do, and then planned to commit suicide, but was saved by Mr. Gu.
It can be said that Mr. Gu gave Qiutang hope.
