Gu Jiu felt that it was great to meet them.
These women made his originally extremely dull life suddenly become much richer.
Just like a grilled fish suddenly added with seasoning, the taste naturally becomes extraordinary.
But there is still one regret, and that is Gu Xiaoxiao.
……
Late at night, the crowded Gu Mansion was very quiet. Except for two servants who were busy working, most people had fallen asleep.
Old Man Gu tossed and turned several times in bed, but still couldn't fall asleep.
At this time, Gu Xinyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why, haven't you had enough fun yet?"
Old Man Gu's face changed drastically, and he said, "No more playing, no more playing. We are an old couple, not young anymore, so take it easy."
Although Old Man Gu has the word "old" in his name, he doesn't look old at all. He has a well-proportioned figure and is elegant and well-mannered. Otherwise, how could he have given birth to a son like Gu Jiu?
Gu Xinyue snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you sleep?"
Old Man Gu sighed and said, "Xinyue, why do you think Xiaoxiao wants to go so far away?"
What Gu Xiaoxiao had expressed before was that she wanted to go out and gain experience for several years and would not return home during these years.
Originally, the whole family moved to the Yunshan Sword Sect's territory, which should have been a happy thing, after all, it would make it easier for family reunions.
Who would have thought that the most beloved youngest daughter in the family would not only become a genius in the sect, but also have to go far away for several years.
Gu Xinyue said, "My daughter is grown up and has her own ideas. Xiaoxiao is like me, with a strong competitive spirit. Besides, mortals like us should not consider the affairs of the cultivation world."
Old Man Gu wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep, but he couldn't help but say, "I went to the town to ask around. The fairy lady Xiaoxiao followed is a 'World Traveler,' a person who goes to explore various taboos. Xiaoxiao's experience is not as simple as she said. It is very dangerous."
After hearing this, Gu Xinyue couldn't sleep and asked, "Really?"
Father Gu sighed and said, "Ningshuang must be afraid that we would worry, so she didn't tell the truth."
At this time, it was Gu Xinyue's turn to be puzzled and asked, "Why?"
What she wanted to ask was why Gu Xiaoxiao made such a worrying decision?
Old Man Gu was silent for a while, then said, "Because of Ah Jiu."
Gu Xinyue sat up, looked at Old Man Gu coldly, and said, "What do you mean?"
Father Gu sat up and said, "Even if you glare at me, I'll tell you something. The relationship between these two siblings was too good a few days ago, even you and I felt it was too close. But don't you think Xiaoxiao has been acting a little strangely towards Gu Jiu these days?"
Hearing this, Gu Xinyue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "You mean Xiaojiu hurt Xiaoxiao's heart, so Xiaoxiao was disheartened and made this decision?"
Old Man Gu sighed and said, "I was just imagining this. Xinyue, how about..."
Gu Xinyue's face darkened and she said, "Don't talk nonsense. Xiaoxiao was born after four months of pregnancy."
Yes, in this world, women only need four months to be pregnant and give birth, and because of the vitality of heaven and earth, the risk of childbirth is not high. This is also one of the reasons that determine their status.
Old Man Gu got anxious and said, "But your four-month pregnancy is fake."
Chapter 6 Are you also interested in your sister?
"What's fake?" Gu Xinyue immediately covered her husband's mouth and glared at him.
Old Man Gu, in a rare display of firmness, proudly took his wife's hand away and said seriously, "It must have been hard for you to carry the baby on your belly for several months, but Xiaoxiao is definitely not our child."
Looking at Old Man Gu's determined face in the dark, Gu Xinyue finally sighed and turned to sleep.
The room returned to silence until Old Man Gu hugged his wife and said gently, "It's all my fault. He said he would have another daughter to inherit the family business, but in the end, he had four sons in a row."
Gu Xinyue turned around and glared at Old Man Gu, saying, "And the first three are ugly!"
Faced with this statement, Old Man Gu was speechless.
Yes, apart from Gu Xiaoxiao, among these children, only Gu Jiu and Gu Ningshuang are good-looking, and Gu Jiu is even better.
Old Man Gu and Gu Xinyue were both a little confused. They were both good-looking, so why did they give birth to so many ugly sons?
Old Man Gu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Xiaoxiao, whom I brought home, still didn't live up to your expectations and couldn't inherit the family business."
Hearing this, Gu Xinyue also laughed and said, "Who told me I'm good at picking? I can tell it's a natural born spirit seed."
That year, there was a famine in the north and many refugees came.
Many refugees were starving to death, and there were many abandoned babies.
Gu Xiaoxiao floated down the river outside the town. She was in a bamboo basket with about ten other baskets. It was estimated that these abandoned babies were from the same village.
A kind old woman in the town saw this and couldn't bear it, so she brought the children back, hoping that some kind-hearted person would take them in.
When Gu Xinyue saw Gu Xiaoxiao for the first time, she felt that her bright eyes were smiling at her, so she made this decision despite being in a low mood.
After that, Gu Xinyue's belly became "big", and she gave birth soon. From then on, there was a little girl in the family.
This matter was carried out in secret. Apart from the couple, the only person who knew about it was an elderly widow who had passed away a few years ago. This secret should have been kept secret.
The reason why Gu Xinyue chose to adopt Gu Xiaoxiao at that time was because she was really disheartened.
Gu Xinyue doesn't like having children, but she has to for the sake of the family business.
As a result, she gave birth to four sons in a row and no daughter, which was also acceptable.
After much difficulty, I adopted a daughter. Who would have thought that she was a natural genius and even more promising than my eldest daughter.
As a result, there was no one to inherit the Gu family's small business.
Old Man Gu hugged his wife and sighed, "With three cultivators in our family, our ancestors' graves are about to burst into flames. Let's just leave this small family business to him. Gu Xing probably won't be able to get married in her condition, so it's not impossible for her to stay at home and help manage the family business. Look, Xiaojiu is already so promising, why bother about whether it's your son or your daughter who inherits the family business?"
Gu Xinyue was silent for a moment, then said, "I can listen to you on this, but you absolutely cannot let anything slip about Xiaojiu and Xiaoxiao's relationship!"
"Why? Since the two of them are interested in each other, isn't it just perfect?" Old Man Gu questioned.
"Stop talking nonsense. You, a man, don't know shit! You only act on your emotions! If this really happens, where will our Gu family put their face? Xiaoxiao, Ningshuang and the others will be criticized in the sect! Besides, what will happen to Xiaojiu and Xiaoxiao then? Is Gu Jiu my son or son-in-law? People's words are scary, so you better take it easy!" Gu Xinyue spoke such a long speech in one breath, which made Old Man Gu stunned.
In this regard, she is indeed a little more indifferent and not as emotional as men.
Old Man Gu retorted, "We live as a family, why should we care about what others think? Just explain..."
At this moment, Old Man Gu suddenly shut his mouth because he saw Gu Xinyue's angry eyes.
"Tell me, are you interested in your sister? I remember the day you got married, your sister cried like a tearful person. For a woman to cry like that, it seems that it is not just a simple brotherly love." Gu Xinyue said meaningfully.
Father Gu looked confused and said, "What's the connection? My sister and I have been close since we were young."
Gu Xinyue said with an indifferent expression, "Gu Jiu and Xiao Xiao have been close since childhood."
"Xiaojiu and Xiaoxiao are not related by blood!"
"Now they don't know about this and think they are siblings. So why is Xiaoxiao so heartbroken by Xiaojiu?"
Old Man Gu opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word in defense.
He always felt that this pit was a bit complicated, and he somehow ended up falling into it after going around in circles.
"Good for you!"
Immediately afterwards, Old Man Gu’s voice of begging for mercy was heard, followed by some noises that were not suitable for children.
Neither Gu Xinyue nor Old Man Gu noticed that Gu Xing, who was probably going to inherit the family business because he was too ugly, was lying on the ground next to the window of their room, his whole body trembling.
If he heard this secret and was discovered, would he be silenced?
Mom, I really was just passing by on my way to the toilet!
So late at night, Gu Xing crawled through that section of road like a caterpillar.
……
It was also late at night and everything was quiet.
There is a lake in Qingliu Academy now, but there are no toads in the lake because the toad killer Xiaoqi is the temporary owner of the lake.
There are no stars or moon tonight, and the sky and the earth are extremely dark. Only the lake behind the courtyard of Qingliu Academy is emitting a faint light.
At this moment, a slight ripple appeared in the water, and then a flash of red flashed across the lotus pond, as if it had never appeared before.
The Buddha statue standing in the courtyard late at night looked a little eerie because of the cracks on its face.
Waves in the river appear from time to time, very slight, like ripples caused by the wind.
The lake owner, Xiaoqi, didn't notice that after these slight ripples, all the fish she raised were gone.
Beneath the red robe that looks extremely mysterious, there are big mouths that look very hungry.
The fish in the pond were swallowed by these mouths without even a splash of water.
When all the fish in the lake were eaten, the heads under the red robes were still bubbling with their mouths, as if they were arguing about who had eaten more and who had eaten less.
Then, the red robe moved slightly, and those mouths stopped moving, like the mouths of fish dying of thirst on the shore.
The red robe slowly and silently approached the lake shore, and just when it was about to go ashore, it suddenly stopped moving.
Because it felt a vague murderous intent.
Many big heads under the red robes showed a smile at this moment, which looked very sinister in the dark water.
There's something wrong with this place. Will I fall for it?
Hongpao did not choose to go ashore, but turned around and went upstream along the ditch that brought the water, and disappeared into the night.
No one knows where it will go.
(PS: Today's event was really scary. I dropped more than ten places on the list. I'll update four times tomorrow to calm down.)
Chapter 7 The Disappearing Man (First Update)
Early in the morning, Li Siniang was awakened by the crowing of a rooster.
Thinking about harvesting two acres of corn today, chopping two baskets of firewood, and going to Xinghua Town to buy some cloth for the children, she felt so full of energy that she wanted to die.
The sky was still gray at this time. Li Siniang woke up sleepily and found that her husband was missing.
She once thought that the other party had gone to the toilet, but when the sun came out, she still didn't see him.
She couldn't help but wonder, where had her man gone?
Even if you want to steal someone, you can't do it so openly, right?
Li Siniang searched the whole house but found nothing. Instead, her daughter cried and said she was hungry.
Since her husband didn't cook, Li Siniang could only make something for her daughter to eat, and then continue to look for a man.
She lived in a small village by the water, called "Sishu Village", not far from Xinghua Town.
The village is not big, with only about two hundred households in total. Over the years, the neighbors have known each other well and have a harmonious relationship.
So at first Li Siniang did not suspect that her husband was having an affair, but instead wondered if he was going to buy groceries or something.
But it's a little too early.
The village was not big, and Li Siniang asked many people, but no one had seen her husband.
After some questioning, Li Siniang suddenly panicked. She only knew that her man was by her side after they had sex last night, but he was gone when she woke up. Where did he go?
runaway?
Li Siniang couldn't think of a reason why the other party ran away from home. After all, they were having a big fight last night and were having a lot of fun. She was afraid that the child would find out, so they covered each other's mouths with smiles on their faces.
Li Siniang walked all over the small village, went to the fields outside the village, and even went to Xinghua Town, but still could not find the whereabouts of her man.
It felt like her man had disappeared into thin air.
Even if she went to the authorities to report the case now, the people there would probably just give a perfunctory response, after all, it had only been less than a day since she disappeared.
Li Siniang returned home in a daze and asked her daughter if she had seen her father. The little girl, who was less than ten years old, just shook her head.
On this day, Li Siniang couldn't even do her work and was in a daze.
She thought of many possibilities, but couldn't figure out any of them.
Time flies, and before she knew it, it was already evening. Li Siniang was like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles.
Her man was really gone.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her, leaving only a dim silhouette.
It was difficult for Li Siniang to describe this feeling. She always felt that her life, which was originally hard but peaceful, seemed to have been swallowed by a monster in an instant, making her unable to sleep or eat.
