Where Huang Guizhi had gone to during the few days she was missing, Jin Xiaolou had actually always had her doubts.
Especially when he saw that she was wearing a new pair of embroidered cloth shoes when she returned.
It was just that, all of his doubts had been dispelled by Gui Zhi's safe return, the result was extremely joyous. As for the process, Jin Xiaolou understood, if Gui Zhi wanted to tell him, he would naturally ask for it.
Thus, when Gui Zhi asked in a soft voice, Jin Xiaolou turned her head over and tilted her face to look at Huang Guizhi.
Huang Guizhi's face was flushed red, her expression somewhat strange.
She lowered her eyes and chuckled, revealing two faint dimples. "I met someone."
"Alone?" Jin Xiaolou stretched out his arm and put it on Gui Qi's shoulder, supporting his chin with his palm, he waited for Huang Guizhi to continue speaking.
Unexpectedly, Gui Zhi smiled, raised his hand and tapped Lou Cheng's nose, teasing, "You look like you're curious about a little cat. I won't say any more!"
After Jin Xiaolou heard this, and looked at Huang Guizhi's expression, she completely understood what was going on.
However, like this, Jin Xiaolou found it even more strange.
"But how can it be like this? The one who started off was you, and the one who stopped halfway through her words was also you!" Jin Xiaolou wrinkled her nose, she really was like a cat.
Huang Guizhi restrained her smile: "That day, when I saw how Gao Lang's fever was great, I couldn't get rid of you. After I finished cooking, when I went to the stream to wash my clothes, I thought of going to the forest to look for that herb."
Gui Qi began to talk.
As Jin Xiaolou listened, she took out a piece of clothes of her own and put it on Gui Qi.
"I didn't know that when you mentioned going into the woods to find something, it seemed so easy, but once I went in, I was like a headless fly, wandering around until the sky gradually darkened. Not only was I unable to find any herbs, I could not even find the way back."
Huang Guizhi continued: "The moment the forest is dark, I panicked. I kept having the feeling that green eyes were surrounding me from all sides, extremely scared, and urgently rushing forward. I didn't know why, but my feet were empty and I actually fell on the edge of a cliff."
Although Huang Guizhi was already sitting in front of him, perfectly fine.
But hearing that, Jin Xiaolou still clenched her teeth, because she had seen the sharp stone at the bottom of the cliff.
"I hastily pulled on a nearby vine. Just as I was struggling to fall, a person saved me."
"At that time, the sky was very dark and I could not see his face clearly. He brought me to a valley deep in the forest, and they set up camp there. They told me not to tell anyone about this and to treat it as a dream."
Jin Xiaolou nodded, that's right, no wonder that day, no matter how much Jin Dacheng beat Gui Zhi up, he was unwilling to explain.
Gui Zhi was someone who kept his word.
Only, Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth and said: "But … "You told me now …"
Huang Guizhi nodded his head: "Because I treat you as me, I don't want to hide anything from you."
In her previous life, Jin Xiaolou was born at the right time for family planning. Jin Xiaolou was an only child, she did not have any siblings.
When she was in university, she saw that some of her roommates had sisters in their family. When it came to the topic of intimacy between sisters, Jin Xiaolou was really envious from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, facing Huang Guizhi, Jin Xiaolou suddenly felt a close intimacy between sisters.
"Merely, I do not even know the name of the person who saved my life." Huang Guizhi's gaze shifted to the window, looking at the drifting clouds in the sky above Lan Xin. She sighed lightly, "We may not meet again for the rest of our lives."
Outside the window, Gao Lang was seated on the stone stove behind the thatched cottage.
The flame licked the bottom of the pot. The water was already boiling hot as steam rose from the pot and rushed upwards.
"Is it them?" Gao Lang threw a piece of firewood in.
There was no one around him. The sound of his mouth opening and closing was mixed with the gurgling sound of water.
"Yes." Chang An's voice came out.
However, when he swept his gaze over them, he could not see where he was. If he looked carefully, he would be able to vaguely see that he was hiding in the shadows of the trees.
"Who's that?" Gao Lang stopped moving and the look in his eyes became murderous.
"Ol 'Five."
Gao Lang smirked, as if he was smiling, but he was not sincere at all. "Ol 'Five, you really were the first to lose your cool."
That night, Jin Xiaolou slept under the same bed as Huang Guizhi.
The next morning, while Gui Zhi was still sleeping soundly, Jin Xiaolou got up from the bed and pulled the warm Gao Lang out from under the other bed. Pulling the drowsy Gao Lang, he walked towards the entrance of the village with light footsteps.
"My wife, where are we going this early?" Gao Lang yawned, scratched his head, looking like he had not slept soundly.
Jin Xiaolou looked at Mo Hei's road: "Enter the city, we will go to the shop today."
Gao Lang's figure was huge, and as he walked, he coincidentally blocked Jin Xiaolou's path, completely blocking the morning breeze that was blowing from the left.
Maybe the boy naturally emitted a warm feeling. Jin Xiaolou felt that the autumn morning, which had yet to light up, had also become warm.
The reason she had pulled Gao Lang along was because she saw his strength.
Today, other than going to a shop in the city, Jin Xiaolou also planned to buy some satin clothes that would help Huang Guizhi and Gao Lang buy a new set of clothes.
It's only a few months away from New Year's, Jin Xiaolou thought, and it's been a long time since Gui Zhi wore a new set of clothes.
On the way back, he would need Gao Lang to carry all of these new clothes.
Jin Xiaolou finally understood why her friends would always ask their boyfriends to go shopping in the modern world. It would be much easier for a man to go with them as well.
Since Gao Lang took advantage of him every day by calling him his wife, then let him do what his husband should do!
The two of them got on the horse carriage at the entrance of the village. It was only after noon that they arrived at the county city.
Once she got out of the car, Jin Xiaolou headed towards the busiest and most bustling street in the Xin Ning city, Soundwave Street.
He Zhixian's house was on the same street, directly opposite the city gate.
On both sides of the well, there was a line of shops of various colors. Pawnshops, inns, restaurants, noodle shops, silks and silks, rouge and cosmetics shops.
There was a constant stream of shouting and shouting from the pedestrians. In the empty space not far away, there were some acrobats waving their sabers and guns around as they surrounded the spectators in a circle, constantly cheering them on.
It was an excellent location with a huge amount of passenger traffic.
To open a shop in such a place, as long as one's business wasn't too poor, there would be no loss.
Jin Xiaolou walked around the place twice, but she did not find a single store that she wanted to rent. The only two story house that had its door tightly shut was recently prepared by someone and looked like it was in the process of repair.
Thinking about it, this place was good. If one could earn money here, who would close their shop for no reason?
Jin Xiaolou was planning to go to the adjacent Golden Cloth Lane. Although Golden Clothing Lane was not as lively as Clear Water Street, it was still not bad.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from Gao Lang's stomach.
Immediately after, a hand pinched the corner of Jin Xiaolou's clothes: "My wife, your stomach is hungry."
Gao Lang said, his eyes turning to look at the not too distant autumn moon wine house's red wooden signboard.
Jin Xiaolou sighed as she pulled Gao Lang into the autumn moon wine house. She chose a table by the window and sat down, ordering two bowls of Eel Burst Noodles.
Jin Xiaolou didn't eat the eel segment, thus she gave all of them to Gao Lang.
En, with a husband and this good point, the food won't be wasted.
Chang An, who was seated next to her, took a sip of his tea and held onto his chest tightly.
His own seventh grandfather actually ate the food brought over from someone else's bowl, and he even ate it so happily … It really was an iron tree blooming with a long horn! It was a wonder of the world!
Jin Xiaolou didn't notice that Chang An, who was sitting on the next table, had his ear attracted to the two people who were chatting on the other side.
"Has there really been a fight at South Yi?" A middle-aged man stroked his beard with a shocked expression on his face.
The other man sitting at the same table looked like a constable of the yamen. He had a saber at his waist and had a serious expression on his face. I heard that they are right next to the Wuli River, and that the South Yi has repeatedly attacked them, causing the old Emperor to be unhappy. "
The middle-aged man frowned: "Aiyo, what's wrong with that. We're so close to the Wuli River, I'm afraid we'll be affected."
"Didn't you see that old man Zhang?" The constable sighed, "To the west. Old Zhang San, who had just bought a tea house on the second floor, is about to open it. Isn't his son a hundred years old? I heard a few days ago, when the South Yi invaded, he fell into the river and disappeared without a trace. Even now, we can't find his corpse.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was shocked.
The policeman quickly put the teacup down before he could say anything, "That old man got so angry that he had a lung disease. Seeing that he won't be able to get through the winter, that good shop won't open. Didn't Zhang's wife ask him to buy the shop out? She said she wanted to change the coffin for Old Zhang."
"Sigh, but at this age, who would be able to take out five hundred silver taels to take over that shop?"
Five hundred silver taels …
Jin Xiaolou's heart tensed up, the silver in her hands was not even a tenth of the five hundred liang.
However, such a shop still had two floors. The rent was fifty-one years, and selling it for five hundred silver taels was really a waste of money.
Jin Xiaolou felt that Gao Lang was truly a lucky star. If not for him, he wouldn't have come to eat this bowl of Eel Smash, and wouldn't have been able to hear the news of the two story house.
Compared to the shops in the gold-clad alley, Jin Xiaolou was naturally more fond of the two story house on the street.
However, where would he go to earn such a large sum of money …
For the farmers in the Wellhead Village, in their entire lives, they would never see this much money.
Jin Xiaolou raised her eyes and looked out the window. There were many people on the street and a fodder wagon coincidentally was passing by the window.
Jin Xiaolou's eyes lit up as a light suddenly flashed in her mind.
She suddenly stood up and started to walk out.
"My wife, where are you going?" Gao Lang hurriedly swallowed the noodles in his mouth, threw the bowl down and followed along.
Jin Xiaolou winked at him: "My wife wants to go and buy big ones!"
