Chapter 147: Can't understand
Chapter 147 I can’t figure it out
Shi Niang didn’t take Gu Huayu’s words to heart at first. It was obvious that she was able to diagnose Liu Zhi’s man’s illness based on Liu Zhi’s story, which really shocked her.
Having been wandering around for many years, Shi Niang has met countless people.
Intuitively, she knew that the little girl in front of her was not simple.
The excuse that someone in the village has the same disease is just as good as lying to Willow Branch. How to fool her?
Gu Huayu raised her hand and patted Shi Niang's hand, saying, "It's too heavy, get up and drive!"
Shi Niang removed her hand, walked in side by side with Gu Huayu, and asked casually: "Xiaoyu, do you know medical skills?"
Gu Huayu turned to look at Shi Niang and said without hiding anything, "I know a little bit about it."
Shi Niang smiled and said: "You will know the cause of Willow Branch Man's disease just by listening to it. You only understand the superficial knowledge? Are you lying to children?"
Gu Huayu stopped and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Shi Niang had never seen such a sensitive person before. She was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's nothing! I just feel that you are becoming more and more invisible to me. It makes me more and more curious about you."
Gu Huayu lowered the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, put your curiosity aside, I'm not a man's stinky foot."
Shi Niang raised her hand to pat Gu Huayu, but Gu Huayu avoided her.
“You are not allowed to use your hands when it comes to talking!” Gu Huayu said with a smile.
Shi Niang saw that one palm missed, and then took action again.
Gu Huayu raised her hand to stop her, dodged and shouted: "Stinky feet fairy, you don't want the ointment anymore?"
Shi Niang wanted to take the opportunity to try Gu Huayu's skills, but when she heard the word ointment, she decisively stopped.
He pretended to be angry and said with a straight face: "Don't call me by this name from now on!"
Gu Huayu stuck out her tongue at Shi Niang and said provocatively: "That depends on my mood."
“You…” Shi Niang still wanted to speak.
Gu Huayu spoke first: "You don't want the ointment anymore?"
Shi Niang waved her hand and said helplessly: "It's up to you. Who asked me to ask for anything from you?"
Gu Huayu said with a smile: "That's right! Just wait here and I'll get the ointment for you."
Shi Niang said to Gu Huayu's back: "Girl, I'm already at the door. If you don't welcome me in for a cup of tea, is this how you treat guests?"
"Miss, there is no one here to serve you, and there is no tea. If you want something, just wait here." Gu Huayu replied in a loud voice without looking back.
Shi Niang watched Gu Huayu enter the room and raised her hand to see that the palm she just struck was not slow, and the little girl was able to avoid it calmly. "interesting."
After a while, Gu Huayu came out with the ointment and handed it to Shi Niang, "Here, use it once in the morning and evening every day and see the effect. It's best not to go out during the days when you apply the ointment."
Shi Niang asked in confusion: "Why don't you go out?"
Gu Huayu replied: "It's very dusty outside, which is not good for your skin. Besides, forget it, I'll lend you this for a few days, and you'll know after you apply the medicine on it."
Shi Niang took the mirror, held it in her hand and said with a smile: "Just give it to me, why should I borrow it? You gave it to me, I won't pay it back."
Gu Huayu didn't expect that Shi Niang had a rogue side, and it seemed that she was still too naive. He gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, you..."
Shi Niang smiled in a good mood and said, "What's wrong with me? What do you want to say?"
Gu Huayu waved her hand, "I don't want to say anything. Take it and get out of here before I get angry. I don't want to see you!"
Shi Niang smiled happily and said, "Gu Xiaoyu, thank you, I'll get out immediately, I'm the best at getting out."
Gu Huayu watched Shi Niang leave the courtyard for a long time and said, "This is also a weirdo!"
“It’s quite strange, girl, don’t you really want to check it out?” Qingzhu jumped down from the camphor tree.
Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, she will do it when she wants to."
"But…"
Gu Huayu explained patiently: "She has not stood against us, and there is no conflict of interest with us. We should respect her and give her some space."
Qingzhu seemed to understand. Longyingwei started his career by inquiring and collecting various information. He grew up in Longyingwei. No one had ever told him that respecting the other person meant that there was no need to investigate the other person.
He didn't understand the conflict between respect and investigation, but he still leaned forward and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the girl."
Gu Huayu didn't understand Qingzhu's worries, so she just said: "I've been tired for the past two days, go and rest."
Qingzhu bowed and stepped back.
Shi Niang returned to the house and couldn’t wait to apply the medicine in front of the mirror.
Looking at the ink-black face, Shi Niang understood why Gu Huayu asked her to stay and not go anywhere...
On the other side, on the way to the capital, Deng Jiayu was lying in the carriage. After listening to the servant's report, he didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Liang looked at Deng Jiayu, who was frowning, and waved to his subordinates: "Step back first!"
The servant bowed and stepped back.
Chen Liang said with relief: "Brother Deng, don't worry, we just haven't found him yet. Let's send more people to check, and we will definitely find him.
After all, Su Jie was seriously injured. In addition to Su Jie, they had seven or eight seriously injured people.
Hua Zhe is taking a group of wounded people with him. Where can he escape to? We don’t believe it, can Hua Zhe still go to heaven and earth?
Let's go back to Beijing first and find a doctor to detoxify the poison. "
Deng Jiayu's hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't even lift the bowl. He said feebly: "It's easier said than done. We have been searching for him for ten years. If we hadn't followed Mr. Zhu here, how would we have known that he was hiding in Shicheng? Don't underestimate Hua Zhe. This man has a deep mind. ”
Chen Liang said disapprovingly: "One moment and the other. Ten years ago, your Excellency just took over Long Shadow Guard and had too many things to do and no time to look for him. How can it be the same now? It's only a matter of time for Your Excellency to get rid of him sooner or later."
Deng Jiayu didn’t want to argue, so he asked instead: “What kind of poison is Wang Qin’s poison?”
Chen Liang shook his head, "I don't know why, this poison looks like cartilage powder, but why the antidote is not only ineffective, but also fatal."
Last night, the group returned to the inn. Chen Liang immediately asked for a doctor. The doctor diagnosed that everyone had been infected with cartilage powder and prepared an antidote for them.
The first person to take the antidote died on the spot. Chen Liang was so angry that he cursed the quack doctor and stabbed the doctor to death with a sword.
After this, no one dared to take the antidote.
Chen Liang led people back to Huang Ji, hoping to force Hua Zhe to hand over the antidote, but he arrived a step too late, and Huang Ji also left the building empty.
Deng Jiayu fell into deep thought and said after a long time: "When did Wang Qin understand poison? I have never heard anyone mention it!"
Chen Liang was also puzzled, "Maybe it's Hua Zhe's strategy to protect us. Wang Qin's qinggong is good, so it's best for her to poison us. With Hua Zhe and Mi Chen restraining us, it's best for Wang Qin to take action."
Deng Jiayu nodded, "Well, this explanation makes sense, but where does this poison come from? Hua Zhe and Su Jie are not good at this."
A thought flashed through Chen Liang's mind and he asked: "Su Jie was only ten years old when he left. Could it be that he learned this?"
Deng Jiayu shook his head, "No, if Su Jie knew this, he would have taken action yesterday."
Chen Liangming nodded, "Yes."
Deng Jiayu shook his head with a headache, "I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go back to Beijing first."
Chen Liang nodded and said: "Well, let's set off. Let's go on and drive back day and night."
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the four brothers and sister Gu Huayu returned to Shangtai Village together. When they arrived home, it was already noon.
Brother Sui was playing with a few little guys at the gate of the courtyard. He saw a carriage approaching. He stared blankly for a while. When he saw that the driver was Gu Chengdong, he dropped what he was holding and ran over. "Daddy is back! Dad is back!"
Gu Chengdong stopped the car, jumped out of the car, and reminded: "Brother Sui, please slow down!"
Gu Huayu was the last to get out of the car. Brother Sui turned around to see her, got off Gu Chengdong, and turned towards Gu Huayu.
He was so scared that Gu Chengdong hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother Su, you can't rush like this, let's let the little aunt fall."
Brother Sui was stopped and looked at Gu Huayu aggrievedly. "Brother Sui misses my sister-in-law!"
Gu Huayu smiled and said: "Brother, there is no need to stop Brother Sui. The child is happy, just let him!"
Brother Sui got Gu Huayu's permission, shook off Gu Chengdong's hand, and rushed towards Gu Huayu.
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Brother Sui misses his sister-in-law.” He threw himself into Gu Hua’s arms.
Gu Huayu caught Brother Sui, smiled and touched his forehead with her forehead, and asked softly: "Really?"
Gu Chengjuan came over, reached out and poked Brother Sui's face hard, and said: "You are a heartless little kid. My second aunt treats you very well. You only have your eyes for your younger aunt. Huh?"
Brother Sui was in pain and pouted: "Second aunt is bad!" After saying that, he glanced at Gu Chengjuan secretly, fearing that Gu Chengjuan would pinch him again, so he lowered his head and hid in Gu Huayu's arms.
Gu Huayu smiled and protected Brother Sui's head, preventing Gu Chengjuan from poking him again.
“Second sister, okay, don’t pinch Brother Sui’s breasts. What should I do if the fleshy flesh that has finally grown is removed?”
Gu Chengjiao was watching their frenzy from the side.
Gu Chengdong unloaded his luggage from the carriage, took a wooden horse and said to Brother Sui: "Brother Sui, here, your sister-in-law bought it for you."
When Brother Sui saw the toy, he immediately let go of Gu Huayu and turned around to pick up the toy.
"Hey, who do I think you are? It turns out that a powerful person from our family is back." Wang Xiu'e said with a bulging belly and angrily at the door.
The laughter outside the house suddenly stopped.
Gu Huayu looked at Mr. Wang and said secretly, some people are really the terminator of aura.
Seeing the awkward situation, Gu Chengjiao smiled and smoothed things over, "Hello Xiu'e, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your belly is so big, will you give birth soon?"
Speaking of the child, Wang Xiu'e showed a rare smile, touched her belly and said, "It's almost the end of the first lunar month."
Gu Chengjuan whispered to Gu Huayu: "I will be upset when I see this person when I come back."
Gu Huayu replied softly: "Just ignore it."
"Is it okay? Can you be okay if you are upset?" Gu Chengjuan asked.
Gu Huayu said in a low voice: "Pretend not to see her, pretend she doesn't exist."
"Oh, you are indifferent. Okay, indifferent." Gu Chengjuan nodded.
"I heard Xiaoyu's voice. Are Xiaoyu, Xiaojuan and the others back?" Mrs. Fang came out of the courtyard.
Seeing Gu Huayu and others, Fang happily shouted into the yard, "Xiaoyu and the others are back."
Gu Huayu stepped forward to greet Fang.
When people in the courtyard heard that Gu Huayu was back, they all came out to welcome her and pushed Wang aside.
"Xiu'e is heavy, so don't stand at the door. Be careful of people squeezing you." Ms. Qin reminded from the side.
Wang Xiu'e glared at Gu Huayu resentfully, and bumped into Gu Huayu who was stepping forward to greet Qin.
Gu Huayu was stared at in confusion and stepped forward to greet Qin.
Gu Chengliang came over and took the baggage from Gu Huayu's hand, held her hand with one hand and asked: "Dad said you would return to Shicheng at nineteen. If I had known you would come back at nineteen, I should have waited two more days. By the way. , I returned to Shicheng at the age of nineteen, why didn’t I come back earlier?”
Gu Huayu let Gu Chengliang hold her hand and replied: "I'll wait for the eldest brother, eldest sister, and second sister to go back together."
“Yes, it’s the end of the New Year, and the business in the shop is good. You can’t bear to close the shop, right?
Grandfather, his second uncle, and his third uncle are in the main room. You go over there to greet the elders first, and then come to the east wing for dinner. I will serve you food. "Gu Chengliang led Gu Huayu into the yard and reminded him in a low voice.
Gu Huayu nodded and went to the main room with Gu Chengjiao and Gu Chengjuan.
It is the custom of Shangtai Village that if a family has any big or small matter, every family in the village will come to help with tables and benches one day in advance. The whole family will go to the host's house to eat on the running water mat for two days.
The master of the house kills pigs and sheep, buys wine and vegetables, and does his best to entertain everyone.
The helpers are led by one person, who arranges those who buy, write couplets, pound rice, grind tofu, carry water, wash vegetables, cook, hold ladles, serve and pass around dishes, and collect and wash dishes. The division of labor is extremely detailed, complex but not chaotic, and everything is in order.
Gu Huayu followed Gu Chengjiao and Gu Chengjuan. When she saw them calling people to greet them, she followed them and called them to greet them.
After greeting the elders, Gu Huayu took Gu Chengjiao and Gu Chengjuan to the east wing for dinner.
After dinner, Gu Chengjuan was taken away by the little sisters in the village.
Gu Huayu got up and was about to go back to her house. When she went out, she saw Zhang Wu's mother-in-law, Wu Shi, squatting with several women washing vegetables.
“Xiaoyu, come here.” Seeing Gu Huayu coming out, Gu Chengliang waved and called.
Gu Huayu looked over and saw her father lowering his head to write a couplet, while Gu Chengliang was helping to grind the ink beside him.
When Gu Huayu approached, Gu Chengliang asked: "Dad, let Xiaoyu write a few words. You have been standing for a long time."
Gu Dechang nodded in agreement, looked at Gu Huayu and said, "How about Xiaoyu writing the couplets for the doors in the backyard?"
Gu Chengliang was afraid that Gu Huayu would refuse, so he first said: "My father's legs cannot stand for a long time. Xiaoyu will help my father write a few lines."
Gu Huayu looked at Gu Dechang's legs and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll write it in the backyard."
Gu Chengliang hurriedly cleared the table next to him, put pen, ink, paper and inkstones on it, and said, "That's good. I'll grind the ink for Dad and Xiaoyu, and my second uncle and the others will be responsible for pasting the couplets."
Gu Dezhi nodded and said yes.
When Gu Huayu lowered her head to write, she asked in a low voice: "Brother, I saw the Wu family but not Zhang Wu. Didn't Zhang Wu come over?"
Gu Chengliang turned to look at Wu who was not far away, and said in a low voice: "Isn't Zhang Wu in the county? You have been in the county for the past few days, but you haven't seen him?"
Gu Huayu looked up at Gu Chengliang and asked in surprise: "He's not back?"
No, Qingzhu is eyeing Weishi Ridge. Of course, Gu Huayu will not say this.
Gu Chengliang shook his head and explained: "I haven't come back. I went to various houses yesterday to invite people. I went with my second uncle. I didn't see Zhang Wu at Zhang's house. Wu said that Zhang Wu had entered the city. What? Zhang Wu went there again. Did you ask someone to beat him up? Qingzhu is so good, will Zhang Wu be beaten stupidly?"
