Chapter 2: , puppy
Gu Miru waited for the pain on her knees to pass, then reached out her hand and stroked the messy hair of the task target.
It was as dirty as a mud monkey, and could not be seen as a human being.
This time he didn't hide, he was too cold.
Gu Miru's body temperature brought him up instinctively. He hugged her tightly, wishing to get into her flesh and blood to keep warm.
"Give me... food!" he shouted again, his voice trembling and hoarse.
In a situation where he was hungry and cold, and each of them reached the limit, he could kill him at any time, and he obviously had no reason to speak.
Because he was holding the enemy he wanted to eat.
Gu Miru was a little out of breath, she stretched out her hand to hold the head of the man who was digging into her arms, looked down at him and said, "If you want to eat, just let me go. I will take you to a warm place and let me You're full."
He was stunned for a moment.
But soon he looked up as if he had seen some terrifying evil spirit, and looked at Gu Miru's eyes widening.
His pupil color was originally light blue due to the mutation of the disease. But under this not-so-bright light, there is a grayish white.
It does not look like a person, like a monster.
He woke up like a dream, only to realize that the person he was holding was an "evil ghost".
He recovered from the sweet dream that was clinging to the source of warmth, quickly loosened Gu Miru's waist - turned around and used his hands and feet, and dragged the chain to the dark place.
Gu Miru tilted her head slightly to look at him, and when he was about to crawl back into the tattered straw and rotten cotton, she pulled the chain.
"Ah-ah-"
He began to scream hoarsely, as if he had suffered the most cruel abuse in the world.
Gu Miru mobilized the original character's memory a little and found that he really should run.
The original role is to abuse him.
Not only did they lock him up, they beat him, stabbed him with needles, gave him boiled water, and forced him to die.
Gu Miru frowned.
Some characters in the world of novels, in order to highlight the misery, will indeed write some supporting characters who have no reason but are insane.
This makes it easier to move the story forward.
Suffering such inhuman treatment, it is no wonder that the target of this task will explode his soul.
Gu Miru released her hand.
He hurriedly crawled back into the rotten grass, the only place he could hide in the house.
Because the original character felt that the rotten grass was too dirty, he didn't even want to get close to him...
Gu Miru didn't try to get close to him anymore, but approached him to stimulate him.
After she stood up from the ground, she first patted the dirt on her body. And then I don't plan to untie the chain myself.
She simply turned around and went out of the house to call for help.
Going out of this broken yard, Gu Miru passed through two small doors according to her original memory. Only then did he come to a brightly lit house in front of him.
Gu Miru walked to the door and pushed the door into the house without hesitation.
In the main hall, several servants and maids were getting together and playing cards.
When they heard the door open, they turned their heads and saw Gu Miru coming in.
Several people were stunned, first subconsciously wanted to ask "who are you". They quickly remembered that Gu Miru was the master of this family because of the role of the role replacement in the plot.
Gu Miru traveled to the node of this novel world just after the New Year.
It's the fourth day of the first lunar month.
It is reasonable to say that in a large family, the servants must keep watch until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Gu Miru, the original character, had to be kept until fifteen.
There is not much money to give to the servants, but he still wants to invite several servants.
After I asked, I couldn't hold back the servant. So that the master is not the master and the servant is not the servant.
Because there is no reward, even the monthly payment is in arrears. When these servants saw her, the young grandmother, they were not at all afraid.
Although they all put down the cards they were playing and got up, they were all reluctant.
A thinner maid stepped forward, bowed to Gu Miru not very respectfully, and said, "What's your order?"
The maid said, and looked behind Gu Miru. The contempt is beyond words.
She was looking for Gu Mi to be with a good master tonight. Why didn't you roll on the bed at this point, why did you come to the main hall?
Gu Miru didn't speak, her face was calm.
Gu Miru's appearance is not the best, not a stunning beauty. But definitely not a person who looks weak and deceitful.
Gu Miru gave birth to a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, and the long eyebrows were slightly raised on the temples.
The corners of her eyebrows are not that kitschy. Her jawline is very soft, but her raised eyebrows are full of heroism.
Especially now that she was pursing her lips with a sullen face. When people see it, they don't want to provoke them.
According to the memory of the original character, she recognized the crooked servants one by one.
The room was silent because of her sullen face and silence. Moreover, her eyes swept slowly, and it was clear that there was nothing harsh, but everyone instinctively stood up straight.
Gu Miru picked out the people who were usually obedient in her memory, and instructed: "Zhang Qian, Xu Si, follow me and get the young master to my side room."
"Cuilian, boil hot water. Prepare hot porridge."
After Gu Miru gave a brief command, she turned around and left.
A bunch of servants looked at each other in dismay, but soon Gu Miru clicked on the name, and they all took action.
Zhang Qian and Xu Si followed behind Gu Miru and left the courtyard. Although he is full of doubts, his legs are still agile.
As Gu Miru walked slowly, she instructed without looking back, "Look for something that can pry the chain out of the wall."
Zhang Qian and Xu Si are not too young, both of them are from this village.
I know very well about the young master of the Si family. Although he knew that the young master of the Si family was wronged, after all, when the young master of the Si family was chained up, he had no ability to resist.
Which goblin would be slaughtered?
Moreover, from the eight townships in ten miles, I have never heard that the young master of this family has harmed anyone.
But the appearance of the young master of the Si family is really scary. And these little villagers can't screw the thighs of the rich.
I don't have the idle heart to take care of "monsters" in other people's homes.
At this moment, I heard that the young grandmother of the Si family was going to get the young master over, thinking that she was going to abuse others again.
Zhang Qian and Xu Si are not very happy to do it. But they entered the door of this company's house just to get a salary easily.
They are not harming the heavens and the truth, at most they are helping the tyrants.
The two silently glanced at each other from behind, and soon went to find a tool that could pry the chain.
All the world is the same, there are many people with kind hearts, but not everywhere.
Most of them are sweeping the snow in front of their own door, regardless of the frost on other people's tiles.
Therefore, the two of them took the tools and quickly followed behind Gu Miru and walked to the front of the broken house.
When Gu Miru was about to go in, she heard the voice of a little girl inside.
"Brother, eat slower... Brother, what do you think I should do?"
"Uuuuu... I was bullied by the third sister again today. She said that my mother wanted to marry me to Prince Ning."
"I heard that Prince Ning has disabled legs since he was a child. He has a very sinister personality and often kills the people who serve him."
The little girl's voice was pitiful, like a cat without milk, "I also heard that he can tear people alive with his bare hands... woo woo woo, how can I live when I marry him?"
The system prompts: [The heroine Si Jingrou is here. 】
Xu Si, who was behind Gu Miru, also said, "It should be the lady of the Si family... Why is she here again?"
"The last time I got in through the dog hole, the dog hole has already been blocked." Zhang Qian answered.
But in fact, Zhang Qian and Xu Si simply turned a blind eye to the matter of Miss Si's coming.
If it weren't for the fact that Miss Si's family brought some food from time to time, the young master of the Si family would have starved to death long ago.
Gu Miru just paused for a while and continued walking in.
The heroine is crying hard.
She came secretly, but was wearing a white padded jacket, which was more dazzling than the snowdrifts outside.
Crouching not far from the task object, there is a food box on the ground with some cakes in it.
After Gu Miru brought people in, Si Jingrou suddenly widened her eyes. Like a squirrel who was found to have stolen something, he suddenly stood up from the ground.
The hair on the tail is ripped up.
She looked at Gu Miru with the same fearful eyes as the previous task object.
After a while, he raised his hand, pointed at Gu Miru, and said, "You vicious woman! You don't even feed my brother!"
[The task object is Si Xianchun. 】The system knows her host very well, and doesn't remember people's names at all, they use code names. This is the special sound reminder.
Si Xianchun, the target of this world's strategy, was curling up on the pile of rotten grass and cotton, holding a cake in his hand.
He was eating very hard, biting with his neck shaking, staring and swallowing. His eyes were dull, as if he couldn't hear his sister's cry at all.
Gu Miru glanced at the heroine Si Jingrou, and immediately pinpointed her.
Gu Miru has never met a hundred or eighty female protagonists of a novel world like this one.
She could guess what she was going to say and how she would treat herself.
Gu Miru didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she directed Zhang Qian and Xu Si, and said, "Go get the chain out of the wall."
Then he walked straight to Si Xianchun who was about to choke to death.
He walked up to him and squatted down, grabbed the cake and threw it out.
Si Xianchun's hands were empty, and he gave Gu Miru a slow reaction. Then the first reaction was to drill into the rotten haystack.
At the same time, a groaning scream came out of his mouth.
But this time his back collar was directly grabbed by Gu Miru. Didn't let him dig into that pile of grass.
Si Xianchun struggled violently.
Si Jingrou stepped forward immediately, but did not dare to touch Gu Miru.
He had to stamp his feet not far from her and shouted, "What are you doing?! Let go of my brother! Isn't it enough for you to make him like this?!"
Si Jingrou's voice was full of tears, without any momentum.
She ran over mountains and rivers in the middle of the night, almost running out of courage in her life.
Gu Miru held down Si Xianchun and looked back at Si Jingrou. After thinking about it, he said, "Where did you come from and where did you go."
"I'm not leaving! Let go of my brother, what are you going to do with him?" Si Jingrou stepped forward again and complained with tears in his eyes, "My brother...he's not a monster! He just has a strange disease!"
Gu Miru didn't want to hear the heroine whispering in her ear.
Dealing with the heroine is not within her mandate.
Gu Miru thought about it for a while, then she frightened her in a deep voice and said, "If you don't leave, call here, and I'll have someone sell you to the kiln in a while."
Si Jingrou suddenly looked like a hen strangled by the neck. , In addition to staring and kicking his legs, he couldn't even make a sound.
She couldn't believe it. How can there be such vicious people in this world? !
"you you…"
"I'll check three numbers. If you don't disappear from my house, you won't have to get married again." Gu Miru added another sentence.
Although Si Jingrou wanted to support her brother, if she really had that ability, she wouldn't even be sneaking in to deliver some food.
"one two Three."
After Gu Miru finished counting quickly, before Si Jingrou could react, she said to Xu Si and Zhang Qian over there, "Tie me up this thief who broke into the house at night. Carry it to the mass grave for burial later! "
Si Jingrou was so frightened that she turned around and ran away, not daring to say a word.
She carried her skirt and ran all the way out in one breath, terrified in a cold sweat. Then tremblingly crawled out of a dog hole in the house.
While crying, she ran and ran towards the dark road without looking back.
There was a servant of the Si family waiting for her. He sent her here, and he sent her every time. Otherwise, Si Jingrou would not dare to come at all.
After sending the heroine away, Gu Miru looked down at Si Xianchun.
Gu Miru raised her hand into a knife, and slashed at Si Xianchun's side neck with the strength.
Si Xianchun glared at him, then slowly closed his eyes and passed out.
"The vitality is quite tenacious." After tossing like this, he can still flick his tail like a fish.
No wonder the self-destruction of the soul can affect the world.
Except for the main characters in the novel world, most of the supporting characters have very thin souls.
Like a piece of paper, it breaks when you poke it. It exists to fill the background of the world, although it is self-conscious, it is also unconsciously manipulated by the plot.
But the person under Gu Miru's palm is obviously different. He has such a tenacious desire to survive, and his soul must be very full.
"Young mistress, the chain is out." Xu Si and Zhang Qian walked towards Gu Miru with the chain in hand.
Gu Miru stood up, pointed to Si Xianchun, who had passed out, and said, "Take him."
Then he walked over and picked up the chain, like walking a dog, and slipped the task object into the yard where she lived.
The servants who were not assigned tasks did not wait in the front hall, but spontaneously gathered at the door of Gu Miru's room.
They didn't know what Gu Miru was doing, and looked around curiously.
Cuilian has prepared hot water and hot porridge. Seeing that Gu Miru led someone to bring the young master of the Si family to this courtyard, she was also frightened.
How are you going to toss this time?
The young master of this family is also pitiful... It would be better to die if he continues to toss like this.
Gu Miru asked Si Xianchun to be sent to her side room, and then began to prepare water for bathing.
After the water was ready, Gu Miru drove the servants who were watching the fun to sleep.
Not knowing Si Xianchun's frostbite condition, Gu Miru and Cuilian did not dare to put Si Xianchun directly into the tub. He put him on a long and wide stool.
Take off the rags he's hanging on, then wet the towel with hot water and give him a little scrub.
Gu Miru rolled up her sleeves and tied her hair casually. Doing these things of serving people is not skilled enough, but very serious.
Cuilian kept looking after Gu Miru, she almost didn't know this woman who always called her a young mistress.
Could it be that she brought back this young master, really not for torture?
Although Cuilian is very obedient, she is not a maid trained by a really big family.
She is a country girl.
Therefore, when Si Xianchun was left with the last piece of rotten cloth, Gu Miru said to her very understandingly, "Go to rest too, and I can do the rest."
There is no reason for Cuilian to refuse, she is still a big girl, and she is not suitable for reading any further.
Cuilian also went out, and as soon as she went out, she was pulled by other maids who did not rest at all, asking questions.
And Gu Miru closed the door, expressionless in the sweltering heat, scrubbing Si Xianchun like a butcher removing a pig's hair.
He was covered in all kinds of frostbite scars. Bone and bony, there is no beauty at all.
With the mentality of experiencing the work of the mortuary, Gu Miru scrubbed him well.
Then I wrapped it in a dry towel, wrapped it in a layer of quilt to keep warm, and tied it twice on the outside of the quilt.
To prevent him from waking up in the middle and running around again, it would be a waste.
Then Gu Miru started to wash his hair.
The thing that washes hair in this world is a dark potion made from traditional Chinese medicine.
Although it does not foam, but the decontamination ability is very good.
Gu Miru first combed his hair bit by bit, and found the scissors and cut it directly where it couldn't be combed.
The gray-black hair under the palm of his hand turned into white hair after a few passes of water.
Thin and soft, like fine silk in the hand. There is not much left, and it should barely be able to tie a bun.
When Gu Miru cleaned his face, it was probably because he had not been so warm and comfortable for a long time, and he actually woke up.
Si Xianchun had a very beautiful dream. In the dream, his mother did not die and was still young and beautiful.
Although he was ill, although he could not go anywhere, he could not even see the sun.
But his mother loved him very much. Always accompany him, his mother's palm is always warm.
Si Xianchun was lying on his mother's lap, listening to his mother whispering, that his father did not love him at all. It's just that people don't come to see him because they always say he's a freak and feel ashamed.
Si Xianchun dazedly opened his eyes, feeling as comfortable as in the clouds.
But when he saw clearly where he was and who was in front of him. There was deep fear in his eyes.
Gu Miru was half-squatting beside the bench, holding a wet towel in her hand, facing his gaze.
Then, unsurprisingly, he struggled again. Crazy, screaming.
If Gu Miru had not heard what he wanted to eat, she would have thought he was dumb.
However, he was wrapped in the quilt, and he couldn't struggle except for the chains on his ankles that still couldn't be taken off.
"Don't move." Gu Miru held him down, like frightening the little white rabbit heroine, frightened him and said, "If you move again, I will sell your sister to the black coal mine."
"She just gave you food, do you remember? I had her **** and she's outside the door now."
In addition to fear, Si Xianchun's eyes were covered with a gloomy despair.
"What the **** are you... going to do?"
Si Xianchun raised his head and met Gu Miru's eyes.
The tip of his nose moved, and the light blue eyes under the candlelight were filled with water mist. Like the shallow sea that Gu Miru saw in a certain world.
The blue is quiet and crystal clear.
"You think..." Si Xianchun's voice was hoarse, apparently he hadn't spoken for a long time. Or the kind of hoarse that broke his voice.
Tears overflowed from his eyes, and he asked Gu Miru, "How do you want me to die?"
"Let go of my sister... I'll die."
He closed his eyes, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.
Then he was intercepted by the cloth towel in Gu Miru's hand.
Tears were quickly drawn into the towel.
Gu Miru continued to wipe his face, wiped his sweat and said, "If you don't want your sister to be sold, just be obedient and don't move."
