Gu Xiqiao blinked slightly in surprise, clearly not expecting to see him that quickly, and the frost on his face turned into a warm smile as he walked down the stairs. Brother Mei.
“It's a pleasure to have you back!” Li Yanmei smiled before holding onto Gu Xiqiao's arm naturally and bringing her to the entrance of the house. “Come away, I'll cook noodles for you at my place!”
Those clean eyes were filled with worry, and Gu Xiqiao complied with her silent request to leave so as not to make her worry.
After the two girls left, the two remaining people on the second floor finally reacted. The girl broke away from the man's hands, still furious. “What are you doing, Su Wen? That woman is a threat! Who is he, driving us away like that ?! ”
“Bao Xinyi, please calm down.” Su Wen rubbed his head, his brows united. “Didn't you hear? This is his house, and we moved here without his permission. We're wrong here. “
We wrong? Bao Xinyi snorted. “Are you really planning to move? What a laugh! “
Su Wen was also quite frustrated with the current situation. It was impossible for them to leave because Tang Qinghong would be the first to disagree after settling down in this place, but at the same time, it was impossible for them to leave, it is difficult to find a compromise with the owner of this house because they have given him a bad punishment. First impressions.
Just from a few words, it was clear that he was not the type to pull back his words easily.
“What are you doing?” When he came to his senses from his thoughts, he saw Bao Xinyi stomping on the door with her foot, and he held her head again due to the headache that had befallen him.
Bao Xinyi looked at him with a disdainful expression. “What to surprise? Now that he's back, wouldn't it be natural for him to give me this room? You really are a fool, don't you know that a girl from this remote place will be able to be dismissed with cash on her face? “
After he spoke, he stepped on the door again, and this time, the force from his step was reflected on him by an invisible force, and he fell to the ground in great discomfort.
Su Wen helped her with a frown. “Are you okay? Don't bother, let's wait for Young Master Tang. “
She had thought Bao Xinyi would definitely refute her words, but she was surprised how she did not reply after she suggested to wait for Tang Qinghong, making her glance at him again in bewilderment. It was then that he realized that his face had turned pale like sheets as if he had just seen a ghost.
***
Li Yanmei was Gu Xiqiao's neighbor, so they got to the former house with just a few steps.
After they exited Gu Xiqiao's house, Li Yanmei's expression became solemn. “Thank God I got there in time, or you might get the bad side of some big punch ..”
Big shot? Gu Xiqiao did not even need to think about knowing that he was talking about two people who had moved into his house like a bunch of cuckoo birds.
“Three who live in your house now, I mean.” Li Yanmei spoke cautiously, his voice becoming a whisper as he did as if he was afraid of anyone listening. “Mayors brought them here themselves, and it seems that the people of this Imperial Capital are with high officials in their families. The village chief could not resist, and the only room he could hide from them was your room. You are acting too rashly now! These people can crush us like ants with one finger, so you better not make trouble with them. You can stay at my place until they move in, okay? ”
Three guys? And they chose their home?
Gu Xiqiao rubbed his forehead slightly. “Alright, I know what to do.”
Li Yanmei opened his mouth slightly but did not speak anymore. Gu Xiqiao had always had his own ideas and had always been smart since he was a child, so he would not do anything stupid.
“Wah, is Little Gu back?” A worried voice sounded from inside the house. “Come, let Aunt see you!”
Gu Xiqiao had grown up with Li Yanmei since they were little, and Aunt Li had always treated her like her own daughter, sharing food with her at all times.
“Auntie, I ..” Gu Xiqiao just spoke before he stopped in his step as he stepped into the room, the smile on his face frozen in place.
Inside, Aunt Li was lying weakly on the bed, her expression as gentle as usual, but all Gu Xiqiao saw was Aunt Liu's feet.
“What.... happened to your foot?” His voice was somewhat dry as he clenched his trembling hands in an attempt to suppress his emotions from getting out of control.
Aunt Li waved and sat her down on the bed, before grabbing and stroking her head lovingly. “It's okay, I just fell on a mountain road on a rainy day. I'll be better in a few days! ”
Meanwhile, Li Yanmei walked into the kitchen.
“Have you seen a doctor?” Gu Xiqiao sobbed slightly. Aunt Li's legs were injured to such a great extent, and judging from her appearance, they definitely did not stay in the hospital for long. This would definitely leave a lingering pain in the future, and if left like that for too long, he would become paralyzed. This kind of development would definitely destroy the Li family.
This level of injury was not much Gu Xiqiao could handle, but all he could think about was whether Aunt Li had suffered the same injury in his previous life. Did he get her treated? Where did their family finally move?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.
“Nak, I'm fine, okay?” Aunt Li sighed softly, before speaking as she watched Li Yanmei enter with a bowl of noodles. “You're hungry, aren't you? Swallow!”
After he ate, Gu Xiqiao took out a range into his pocket and took out a set of gold needles from the inventory. Both Li Yanmei and Aunt Li knew that Gu Xiqiao had a basic understanding of medicine at least because ordinary people asked for his help for minor illnesses when Yu Man was not there to help.
Aunt Li let Gu Xiqiao apply the needle as she wished. He had seen the doctor when he went to the hospital in the city and said that the doctor had told him that his leg could not be saved, so he did not have much hope for Gu Xiqiao.
“This... Little Gu...” He has given up on his life since the day he was diagnosed, and the last thing he expected was Gu Xiqiao carrying his hopes once again.
“My mom always told me that those doctors can't be trusted. Take a break and don't get up first, I'll come and apply a needle for you every day. Stay calm and be positive, you will recover! ” Gu Xiqiao kept his needle before looking towards Li Yanmei. “Close with me, let's buy the potion my mother left behind.”
The two walked out, and Li Yanmei could only ask in wonder, Little “Gu, will my mother really recover?”
Yes, I'm sure. Gu Xiqiao stuffed his hand into his pocket and looked up at the sky. “The rest depends on how much I have learned..”.
Li Yanmei immediately giggled and replied, “I believe you! You've always been a smart pickle, what can't you learn? Even the hard old man in the past has always been gentle with you because you are a genius! “
“What, it's just because you guys don't want to learn calligraphy from him.” Gu Xiqiao replied, her expression becoming gentle as she recalled her cheerful childhood.
As soon as the topic of their childhood came up, their moods got better, and when they returned to Gu Xiqiao's house, they met Su Wen and Bao Xinyi. The four gazes locked onto each other, none of the owners uttered a word before Gu Xiqiao led Li Yanmei up the stairs.
When Yu Man was alive, he always climbed mountains to pick medicinal herbs. Some of the plants were used to care for the villagers, while the rest were dried in the sun and collected as a hobby.
Li Yanmei was no longer afraid of the people outside due to Gu Xiqiao's confidence, but as soon as he saw Gu Xiqiao taking the dried herbs, his eyes began to tear up. “Aunt Yu always likes to collect plants. My parents always brought potions for her when they went to the mountain because they knew she liked it, but the last time they did, they met a locked gate.
Many villagers had the same habit because they knew that Yu Man liked to collect plants, and they always tried their best to avenge Yu Man who had taken care of him without asking for any compensation.
The sudden death of Yu Man had a huge impact on all the villagers, and Gu Xiqiao left after that, and this house was locked down.
When three people from the town came, the village chief was urged to unlock it for them.
“It's okay, we all have to look forward, yes?” Gu Xiqiao drank the required potion and gave it to Li Yanmei as he found it hard to breathe from this room filled with memories of Yu Man. Now home.
“Are you really not going to stay tonight?” Li Yanmei was still very worried.
“Ya, it's okay.” Gu Xiqiao walked out the gate with him as he pushed the hair out of his face, his hooded eyelashes showing no emotion. “Trust me, okay?”
His strange state made Li Yanmei look at him anxiously, but he still left with Gu Xiqiao's persistence before the latter re-entered the house.
Bao Xinyi's gaze shifted as if she didn't dare to look Gu Xiqiao in the eyes, but then again, she thought of how she was a rich girl from the city, so why should he be afraid of the villagers? So, he walked over to Gu Xiqiao with a pile of money in his hand. “We don't need you to move, but you have to let me stay in that room on the second floor. If You agree, this money is Yours. Otherwise, I'll make my way to get you to agree, and when that happens, you won't even be able to get this money! ”
As he spoke, the guilty expression on his face diminished, and he became even more confident.
These guys probably haven't seen that kind of money in their entire lives, have they?
Xiny! Su Wen had not even had time to stop Bao Xinyi before the girl took the money, and now she could only hope that this girl could take the money and let it go, or else things would become very troublesome.
It was true that she thought that this was just a secluded place like Bao Xinyi did, but she was afraid that she would anger Tang Qinghong if they got into trouble.
If it was anyone else, they would have been intimidated by the money, but the person in question was Gu Xiqiao.
When he saw the money, a strange smile appeared on his face as he grabbed the money and picked it up, and before Bao Xinyi could react to this, Gu Xiqiao slapped a wad of money into his face!
Money slid on her face and onto the floor, and Gu Xiqiao's smile was as perfect and graceful as ever, her aura was like a blooming lily. “You better leave before I get angry, or you'll meet a sad ending!”
The person in front of him was as perfect as a piece of jade and smiled because of it, but Bao Xinyi stepped back as her expression was replaced with one of fear. He felt a pulse of energy pressing down on his brain as if he would go insane if the others used up a strength of an ounce more!
This guy is not lying!
Before Su Wen had time to react, she saw Bao Xinyi stumble and walk out the door as if she was the main character in a thriller. What the hell's been going on?
As Bao Xinyi escaped, she met Tang Qinghong who had just returned. If it had been ten minutes earlier, he would have been excited because he thought that Tang Qinghong would only need to move a finger to face Gu Xiqiao, but at that moment, it was, he knew that the girl was also quite strong. He might be dealt with in a moment, and Tang Qinghong might not even help him!
“What happened?” Tang Qinghong asked with raised eyebrows.
She was wearing casual clothes, her hands were stuck in her pockets as she smiled, her arched eyebrows framing her star-like eyes that seemed hard to see in person.
It was difficult for any woman to resist her charm, and Bao Xinyi calmed herself down as she looked back at the house. Young Master Tang, the owner of this house is back.
Tang Qinghong simply chuckled. “So... You'll just leave?”
