Chapter 97 Eccentric (two more)
The conversation between the two brothers and sisters sounded like a thorn in Gu Jian's ears. Gu Jian's face was a little ugly, and his eyes wandered.
Gu Yuan looked down at Gu Jian condescendingly, taking in the subtle changes in his expression.
Even if he didn’t understand it at first, he understands it now.
Gu Yuan's deep black phoenix eyes flashed a sharp light like a sword's edge, cold and serene.
"Come on, the stretcher is here!" I don't know who shouted, and I saw two guards from the Hou residence hurriedly carrying an empty stretcher not far away.
They didn't care to salute their masters, and carefully lifted Gu Jian on the ground onto the stretcher. Gu Jian let out a low moan, and the cold sweat almost soaked his temples, as if he had been fished out of water. fish like.
The following people babbled and said:
"You guys be careful."
"Don't run into Lord Hou."
"Master Hou, please be patient for a while, the doctor will be here soon."
“…”
In the midst of the noise, Gu Jian was carried away just like that. A group of servants crowded around the stretcher. Even the broken rhino horn bow was picked up from the ground by the servant.
Brothers and sisters Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei also followed, walking slowly at the end.
"Have the bowstring been used by hands and feet?" Gu Yuan asked Gu Yanfei softly, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear them.
Gu Yanfei gently stroked his sleeves, nodded his head indiscernibly, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
Gu Yuan pointed at himself, then at Gu Yanfei, then at Gu Jian. He didn't say anything, and he seemed to have asked everything and guessed everything.
Gu Yanfei gently pressed a forefinger on the cherry lips and made a "shush" gesture, the corner of his lips smiling faintly.
Gu Yuan understood and made the same "shush" gesture, a feeling of warmth flowed through his heart.
As if they had a little secret in common, the brother and sister smiled at each other, and their eyes were slightly curved.
The setting sun has dropped a little more, and the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month has become more and more gloomy, blowing their robes, hairbands and broken bowstrings flying.
Gu Yanfei looked at the rhino horn bow in the hands of the blue-clothed servant, touched the bowstring of her own ox horn bow, and flicked it lightly, the bowstring hummed softly like the strings of a piano.
When the servant brought this rhino horn bow, she could see that there was a faint dark air lingering on the bow, but in this small world, she had limited means.
Fortunately, the jade pendant she got last time gave her some spiritual power, so she used her spiritual power to draw an amulet on Gu Yuan's forehead to keep him safe.
At the critical moment, the amulet sensed danger and protected the bowstring.
However, after all, she has limited spiritual power, and this bowstring will eventually be broken... You just need to grasp the timing.
The result is great!
Gu Yanfei smiled slightly and walked casually.
Gu Jian has been carried to Mingyi Courtyard, the main courtyard of Hou's mansion, and Mrs. Hou's wife, Wang's, has already prepared soft bed, hot water, new clothes and so on.
Gu Jian and the others just arrived, and Mrs. Gu also arrived on the back.
In the main courtyard, chickens and dogs jumped.
Seeing Gu Jian's painful expression and the twisted and weird right arm, Mrs. Gu Tai gasped, her feet were soft, and her figure staggered.
"Mrs. Tai!" Bai Lu and other maids next to her quickly supported Mrs. Gu Tai and helped her to sit down on a chair beside the soft couch.
"A Jian, what do you think...?" Mrs. Gu Tai looked at Gu Jian, her voice trembling.
The pain is in the child's body, and the pain in the mother's heart.
She couldn't help but think that Gu Jian had just injured his leg a few days ago, and the injury was just healed, and then he broke his arm again. Why is the second son so unlucky? !
"..." Gu Jian's lips turned pale, the cold sweat from before was dried by the cold wind long ago, and now more sweat drips continue to ooze out, and the pain is so painful that he can't even say a polite word, and it hurts so much that his body is covered in pain. Trembling slightly.
Mrs. Gu Tai looked at such a son, and felt extremely distressed, her red eyes filled with tears.
While wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she comforted: "Ajian, you can bear it, mother knows that you hurt."
"It's alright, it's alright. When the doctor comes, I'll fix your broken bones and it'll be alright."
"If it hurts so bad, grab your mother's hand..."
Gu Yanfei looked on with no concern, put another candy in his mouth, and stuffed one for Gu Yuan as well.
In the last life, she knew that Mrs. Tai was obviously better to her second son, Gu Jian, than her father, Gu Ce, whom she had never met.
It's so good that you can dig your heart out.
"Doctor Li, this way."
The female voice from outside made everyone in the house refreshed.
An old lady eagerly led a gray-haired old doctor into the biscuit closet.
After some simple greetings, Old Doctor Li sent all the other irrelevant people out of the Bisha Cabinet, saying that he was going to fix the bones for Lord Hou, and only Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Wang stayed inside.
Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei's brothers and sisters were all waiting in the left room outside the Bisha closet.
"Click."
The terrifying sound of bone-breaking and Gu Jian's sharp screams sounded at the same time.
This is just the beginning, after that, screams came one after another, as if the roof was about to be overturned, and it was as if thousands of needles had stabbed into Mrs. Gu Tai's heart.
Mrs. Gu Tai was so distressed, she craned her neck worriedly and glanced at the Bisha cabinet several times, and hurriedly sent Mammy Li in to see how Gu Jian was doing, with a motherly heart.
She was almost restless, and when she glanced at Gu Yuan, who was a few steps away, there was a bit of anger in her worried eyes, and she asked angrily, "Brother Yuan, what the **** is going on? "
"Didn't your second uncle go to the martial arts field to test your martial arts? How could he be injured?!"
She almost asked directly, did Gu Yuan hurt Gu Jian by mistake? !
"..." Gu Yuan seemed to be poured into a bucket of cold water, his heart was a little cold and a little heavy.
Some pictures from the past flashed by his eyes like a marquee.
He is the eldest grandson, and his grandmother has loved him very much since he was a child.
After his mother passed away, he lived in the capital for several years, and his grandmother personally opened the door for him.
In the next few years, he and Gu Yunchang traveled between the capital and Yangzhou. They lived in the capital for three or four months every year, and their grandmother always treated them warmly.
However, since my father passed away eight years ago, everything has changed.
My grandmother was a lot less sympathetic to him all of a sudden, always polite, like she was separated by a layer, and she seemed to be wary of him.
Five years ago, he wanted to enter the military camp, but his grandmother was furious, and reprimanded him to use the imperial examinations to enter the official career, and he had to learn from his father!
He also knew that his grandmother was blaming his father for making the Houfu almost lose his title.
In a blink of an eye, eight years have passed.
Gu Yuan's eyes were dark and turbulent, and then he returned to calm, indifferent, cold and deep.
"Madam Tai, you can't say that." Gu Yanfei raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly, looking at ease, "I said last time that Lord Hou has had a disaster recently."
Mrs. Gu Tai frowned lightly, and the words of Gu Yanfei from last month rang in her ears again: "You are killing indiscriminately, it seems that you are going to punish your children and grandchildren."
Thinking of her son being injured twice in less than a month, Mrs. Gu Tai's heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat, and she said, "But didn't you resolve it last time?"
Meeting Mrs. Gu Tai's frightened eyes, Gu Yanfei asked back with a smile: "Mrs. Tai, think about it carefully, how many murders have you done?"
"As the saying goes, one yard is one yard, and this retribution has to be reported slowly one by one."
Gu Yanfei's little face was always smiling and joking, making Mrs. Gu Tai speechless.
Mrs. Gu Tai nervously pinched the string of Buddha beads, but she couldn't be sure whether Gu Yanfei was pretending to scare herself.
This girl is so wild!
"what!"
There was another heart-piercing scream in the Bisha closet.
Mrs. Gu Tai's face paled a little, feeling that all three souls and seven souls were hit hard, she almost jumped up in shock, panicked, frightened, and uneasy, as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at a dark corner. She wants her to pay for her life.
Bai Lu saw that Mrs. Gu Tai looked bad, so she quickly served tea to her, but she waved it away impatiently, Bai Lu shook her hand, and the hot tea overflowed from the mouth of the cup and splashed on the back of her hand, her face turned pale.
But Mrs. Gu Tai was unaware.
"As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the common people love the youngest son. There is some truth to these sayings, doesn't Mrs. Tai say that?" Gu Yanfei's faint voice resounded in the room again, and against the background of the screams in the green gauze cabinet, the more Appears cool.
Mrs. Gu Tai's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Gu Yanfei blankly, with a bit of embarrassment in her eyes.
What is this girl implying? ! Are you accusing yourself of favoring the second son and disliking the eldest son? !
Meeting the other's sharp and turbid old eyes, Gu Yanfei remained unmoved, and said slowly: "Master Hou just cut off his hand, and Madam Tai was almost crying. Eight years ago, my father died in Yangzhou, and his head was killed by the enemy. Hang up high, is Mrs. Tai the same?
Mrs. Gu Tai's pale complexion sank a little, faintly turning blue.
Gu Yanfei didn't need her to answer at all, so he said to himself, "I heard that Mrs. Tai didn't even shed a single tear, right?"
Gu Yuan's lips pursed into a straight line, his fists clenched tightly, and his whole body was as cold as frost.
"..." Mrs. Gu Tai seemed to be slapped by Gu Yanfei, her anger was surging, and it was cold. This girl really dares to say that a junior dares to condemn the elder for being biased? !
Gu Yanfei chuckled lightly, tilted his head, and sighed slowly: "If this is someone who doesn't know, would you think that Mrs. Tai has only one son?"
Gu Yuan's body trembled slightly.
Gu Yanfei's words lingered in his ears repeatedly: "If this person doesn't know this, would he think that Mrs. Tai has only an only son?"
This is also the question he once asked his grandmother when he was dreaming at midnight, and he has never been humane to the outside world.
His body was stretched like a full bow.
Gu Yanfei noticed Gu Yuan's abnormality, and quietly reached out his hand, pinched his cuff, and shook it gently.
Gu Yanfei knew that this had always been a knot in the depths of the elder brother's heart.
