My vest is not human [comprehensive martial arts]

After finishing the mission and freed from the influence of Painted Skin Ghost, Gu Anning finally had time to think about the information obtained during the mission, and his mood suddenly became heavy.

He vaguely realized that he was involved in the death of his parents back then, but Gu Anning couldn't tell what was abnormal about him, and he didn't understand whether the difference between him and ordinary people was there from the beginning or was brought about by the system.

Before opening her eyes, Gu Anning felt her body being gently lifted up and fell into a warm and generous embrace.

The person holding him was stiff for a moment, but soon relaxed.

"are you awake?"

A familiar voice sounded from above, and Gu Anning felt the slight vibration of the chest on which he was resting, wondering what his elder brother did secretly while he was asleep.

After doing missions for a few days and lying in bed for so many days, Gu Anning's cold didn't get better before leaving, and now she feels even more uncomfortable.He took some effort to open his eyes, and happened to see Mr. Gu straightening his pillow with one hand.

What's under the pillow?

Gu An Ning was confused, and pulled Mr. Gu's arm.His strength was too weak, Eldest Young Master Gu obediently followed Gu Anning's strength to take back his arm, his palm was empty.

Gu Anning blinked, but she didn't seem to be awake.

"Do you want to change?" Young Master Gu asked him.

Changing is a euphemism for going to the toilet.

Gu Anning understood that Young Master Gu probably wanted to take him to solve his physical problems, so the two of them were in the current posture, and their cheeks blushed suddenly.

She was in a coma for a long time before, but Gu Anning was lucky and never woke up at such an embarrassing time.He knew that Qiutang would knock his mouth open and pour some soup and porridge after he was unconscious, but he never asked how other physical problems were solved.

Gu Anning was so thin-skinned that she couldn't ask any questions at all.

When Mr. Gu saw his expression, he couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh, but for the sake of his younger brother's face, he immediately suppressed the laugh.

"I, I'll do it myself..." Gu Anning felt his body was burning hot, and it was a bit difficult for him to sit up straight with his arms propped up, but finally finished it with the help of his brother.

Back on the bed again, Gu Anning was fully awake.

Eldest Young Master Gu sat with him for a while and then left. Gu Anning fished out from under the pillow and took out a kit.

——It was the bag that Daoist Min left for him, containing the talisman paper.

Gu Anning was a little flustered, the talisman paper was converted into real yuan by the system as soon as he got it, he put the kit under his pillow, and occasionally carried it on his body just to pretend, there was nothing in it.

Why did the eldest brother suddenly come over to look through the kit?

Gu Anning recalled Young Master Gu's face just now, but couldn't think of anything wrong.He couldn't help but sighed for his elder brother who couldn't express his emotions. Thinking of this mission going back a few months, Gu Anning became more and more uncertain.

He went there more than ten years ago as a fox ghost, and now he has returned to two months ago. If he is not sure, the next mission will be back to seven years ago, when his parents died.

Both Ye Xue and Eldest Master Gu once said that there were only four of them there, there was no fifth person, their parents died, and only he and Ye Xue survived.When Gu Anning was a painted skin ghost, she didn't fully trust Ye Xue's words. After returning to her body, she thought of wearing Ye Xue's skin to find Mr. Gu, and the information she got from both sides was almost exactly the same.

So the murderer was most likely himself.

Gu Anning was scared.

He is afraid that this is something he has done before, and he is also afraid that it will happen in future missions.

Qiutang was the first to notice Gu Anning's depression. She thought that Gu Anning was in a bad mood after being ill for a long time, so she thought of ways to make desserts for him, and occasionally brought some novelties from the market. Lack of interest, still no energy.

He would always be distracted, and then think of Lu Xiaofeng asking him, "Is that you?" At that time, he didn't know anything, and gave a decisive negative answer.

He lied to his friends, if Lu Xiaofeng finds out some clues later, he will know that he "lied".Gu Anning felt uncomfortable, he was sorry for Lu Xiaofeng's trust.I also don't know how to deal with Lu Xiaofeng when he finds out the answer to the mystery.

Two days later, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou came to Gujiazhuang to visit him.

Gu Anning's illness was not cured at first, but her heart was weighed down again, and her illness became more serious.When two good friends arrived, Gu Anning did not get up.

Qiutang opened the window to ventilate the room, and diffused the smell of the medicine. Afraid that Gu Anning would catch cold, she moved a screen to block the bed.

Gu Anning felt ashamed, she didn't dare to look at Lu Xiaofeng, so she turned her attention to Hua Manlou.

Huamanlou is as gentle as before, nothing has changed.After seeing his eyes, Gu Anning remembered that there was still one thing that had not been resolved.

Huamanlou couldn't see Gu Anning's pale face and tangled expression, and couldn't see Lu Xiaofeng's concerned look and thought. He spoke first, breaking the silence of the room.

"I'm really sorry for not being able to come over to celebrate your birthday." Hua Manlou's face was full of sincere apology and concern. He still remembered that Gu Anning was seriously ill that day in Huafu, and now that Gu Anning is ill again, it's okay to say that he doesn't feel guilty. possible.

Things like illness cannot be controlled by manpower, but the exhaustion of traveling all the way can indeed wear down the body.Although it has been a long time since he went to Hua's house, he has also heard that Mr. Gu took Gu An Ning outside to relax not long ago.

"It's nothing, I'm not a sensible child. Mid-Autumn Festival is the time to reunite with my family, thank you for still thinking of me." Gu Anning said in a low voice, "But the lines on your eyes, I can only recognize a formation, But there is no way to solve it... The Taoist priest of Maoling in Sanqing Mountain once helped me see a doctor, he has real skills, you might as well ask him to see."

Hua Manlou frowned, feeling that something was wrong with Gu Anning, "I remember."

Lu Xiaofeng was also worried about his friend who was sick, there were flowers all over the building, so it was not his turn to comfort others.Lu Xiaofeng picked up some interesting things and told Gu Anning, and it took a lot of effort to make Gu Anning laugh, and the atmosphere finally stopped being dull.

After a pause, Gu Anning asked, "Did Brother invite you here?"

"That's true," Lu Xiaofeng said, "Otherwise, if I want to see you, I have to sneak here in the middle of the night, lest Mr. Gu catch me and say that I have led you to ruin."

Thinking of what Lu Xiaofeng came to ask that day, the smile on the corner of Gu Anning's mouth faded a little.He was not ready to face Lu Xiaofeng, so he changed the subject, "How is the investigation of Ye Gucheng going?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "Ye Gucheng has come to the Central Plains, and he is currently visiting Wanmei Villa. I'm afraid it won't be long before Ximen will challenge him."

Ye Gucheng has seen Gu Anning's face.

Lu Xiaofeng observed Gu Anning's expression, and as Gu Anning's suspicions increased, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He investigated many cases. In the case of the Jinpeng Dynasty, he was deceived by his trusted Shangguan Danfeng, and in the case of the Embroidered Thief, he was deceived by his friend Jin Jiuling.Apart from these two people, Lu Xiaofeng had other experiences of being deceived by trusted people, even after so many times, he still felt uncomfortable.

Because of this, Hua Manlou has always been the only person he trusts the most, because Hua Manlou is a true gentleman and a good friend of his who knows everything.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou looked at each other, and said nonchalantly, "The duel between two peerless swordsmen in this world must be a wonderful scene not to be missed. An Ning, you must get better soon, don't miss it."

Gu Anning responded with a smile, her voice was weak, "I don't know martial arts, so I don't know how to do it."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's always okay to watch the excitement, and I really like to watch the excitement."

The three of them chatted about other things, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou saw that Gu Anning was sleepy, and left wisely.

Gu Anning slept alone for a long time, and lay down on the bed for a long time. Qiutang came in when the sun was setting, holding a rabbit in her arms.

"Second Young Master hasn't visited it for a long time, and this servant has the courage to bring it here to accompany you to relieve boredom."

Gu Anning sat up and saw Qiutang spread a thin layer of cushions on his lap before putting the rabbit on it.

He touched the rabbit's fur and saw the little rabbit shaking its ears.

Gu Anning lowered her head, "This isn't the one I brought back from outside."

"Second Young Master..." Qiutang stood aside, wanting to comfort her but didn't know what to say.

Gu Anning asked: "Is it dead?"

"Yes..." Qiutang answered with some difficulty. When she heard the word "death" from Gu Anning's mouth, an unspeakable sadness arose spontaneously.

Gu Anning has been ill for a long time, and has never been so depressed as now.

His face was always pale, no different from when he was sick before, the expression on his face became less, he seldom saw a smile, and the look in his eyes dimmed.

Gu Anning poked the rabbit's head with his fingertips, "Unfortunately, I couldn't eat its meat."

Qiutang hurriedly said, "If you want to eat, the servant will do it right away. If the eldest son is not here, we can eat secretly."

Gu Anning was amused by her words, "No need, take it away, I want to sleep for a while."

Qiutang picked up the rabbit and took away the mat, and handed it to Hou Zai's servants, while she stayed in the house to tidy up the room.

After she finished her work, Gu Anning closed her eyes peacefully, as if falling asleep.Qiu Tang is sensitive, she knows that Gu An Ning's breathing has not changed from the beginning to the end, he is awake.

Qiutang lay beside Gu Anning's bed, and asked him in a low voice, "Why is Second Young Master so unhappy these days? Can you tell Qiutang?"

Gu Anning opened his eyes, "What do you want to hear?"

After speaking, he froze for a moment.Gu Anning had never spoken to Qiutang in this tone before, it was indifferent and impatient.

His mind was indeed in a mess. After speaking, Gu Anning thought that this might not be a good idea...

He didn't want to be attached to Gujiazhuang anymore.

Gu Anning slowly sat up from the bed, "I know you guys are hiding something from me, but... are you sure, I really don't know what you're hiding?"

"Second Young Master, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Anning has always been a half-grown child in front of Qiutang, she treats Gu Anning like a younger brother.Even if she considers herself a servant, she can't put Gu Anning in the same position as Young Master Gu.

This is the first time Qiutang saw Gu Anning like this, with a little cynical in his indifference, very strange.

"The eldest son is only worried about your body, and has no other meaning. The eldest son will protect you well. After everything is over, if you want to know the truth, the eldest son will definitely not refuse."

"The truth?" Gu Anning raised the corner of her mouth, "The truth is not important."

He sat up, slowly put on the shoes for himself, stood up, looked condescendingly at Qiutang who was kneeling beside the bed, and said flatly, "I've had enough."
