Gu Zhen cleaned up and left the newspaper.
She didn't have much left in the newspaper, so she took it home immediately.
She found out the phone number Si yuzao left her last time, said it was from Zhang Xinmei's office, and asked her to find it when she had something to do.
Half a morning, Zhang Xinmei must not be at home.
Gu Zhen hesitated and called.
Over there is the secretary. She got through and asked her a few questions. Then she asked her to wait.
She was really waiting by the phone booth.
After waiting for more than an hour, Zhang Xinmei called her back.
"Sorry, I didn't know it was you." Zhang Xinmei's voice is lazy, not really embarrassed, and even a little impatient.
Gu is afraid of adding trouble. He quickly said his own words: "the newspaper office is scattered today, and I'm going home. Last time the ninth Master said, if I want to go home, then..."
She paused and said, "another thing is that I still need someone to help collect the landlord's keys and rent. I don't know if the people around the ninth master can help?"
Zhang Xinmei said, "go back and pack up. I'll send someone to find you tomorrow morning."
Thank you.
She went to the bank that day, took out all her little money, and sold two kinds of jewelry that were slightly valuable.
When she returns to the countryside, nothing is more practical than cash.
She can pack the rest of the luggage in one box.
She soon packed it up.
Suddenly decided to go, I was very disappointed. People stay in an environment for a long time, they will be reluctant to give up, even if it is worse.
Gu gave his kitchen things, including oil and rice, to his neighbors.
She informed all the tenants who rented the same landlord.
"In the future, someone will collect the rent every month. It's my relatives. Don't be afraid." Gu Chen said.
The residents are still very upset.
Early in the morning the next day, Gu was combing his hair. There was a gentle knock on the door outside.
"Here we are." She answered.
Open the door, but you need to look up to see the face clearly - it's Bai Xian.
She was slightly surprised.
Bai Xian's eyes did not fall on her.
It was autumn and he wore a thin windbreaker, leather shoes and trousers outside his shirt.
A man depends on his clothes. As soon as his clothes change, he can't see the rudeness of the past.
Of course, he looks very fierce now. He is a bully with a little attention.
"The ninth Master said, you're going back to the countryside." When Bai Xian spoke, he only looked at her and immediately avoided, "your hometown is far away. It takes a day or two to drive. The ninth Master said to send others to be afraid of you.
We are old acquaintances. I'll take someone to see you off, either you or the ninth master. If you don't want to, I'll tell the ninth master to come back again. "
He said so much in one breath.
Gu is really hard to refuse: "thank you, Ninth master, and thank you. Don't change it."
She pointed to the corner again. "That's my luggage."
She went into the trunk of her car and put her things in the trunk.
The trunk is full of things, including rice, oil, cans and snacks.
Gu Jue stretched out his head and looked.
Bai Xian explained, "this is from the ninth master. You have to live when you go back to the countryside."
Gu Chen didn't think much, nor did he see the panic on Bai Xian's face.
Not only Bai Xian, but also his two entourages sent Gu Chen.
Four people in a car, the driver and entourage are still in the front row, and Gu Kun and Bai Xian sit in the back.
This time it's not that luxury car, but an old car that doesn't stand out.
When the car started, Gu was prone to sleepiness as soon as she was bumped. She reminded herself not to fall asleep.
But when she became conscious, she was leaning on Bai Xian's shoulder.
She was startled and hurried to sit upright.
I looked at my watch. I've been walking for more than three hours.
"Sorry." She said to Bai Xian.
Bai Xian said, "it doesn't matter. You sleep on your bed and don't need you to drive."
The entourage looked in the rearview mirror.
He just saw that Gu's head fell asleep against the door. Bai Xian moved her over and let her lean against him.
It's really not peaceful along the way.
Bai Xian has a pass from Xin Mei and cash in his hand.
With these two, their cars are unobstructed.
After a long journey of 40 hours, we finally arrived at the town near Gu's hometown.
When they arrived, it was more than 4 a.m. on the third day.
Gu Zhen said to Bai Xian, "let's have a rest for a long time. The next is the path. It's easy to have an accident if you stay up late."
Bai Xian said yes.
This town is too remote, but it has not been baptized by gunfire. Although sparrows are small and have five internal organs, they have places to eat and stay.
They knocked on the door of the small hotel.
Gu Zhen finally slept in bed and rolled several times in a row.
They slept until noon, then got up, went to the largest restaurant in the town, had a very rich lunch, and then drove back to Gu's Chuang Tzu.
The road is really hard to walk, but it hasn't rained much recently. The road is not muddy and difficult to walk.
Two hours later, the car stopped at the gate of Gu's old house.
The old house is a small yard with black bricks and tiles.
Different from the fenced courtyard of rural people, this old house has green brick courtyard walls and wooden gates, which is richer than ordinary people.
This was built by Gu's mother, using the gold bars given by Gu Qingzhou.
The door of the courtyard was padlocked. Gu Lei told them to wait a moment. He ran to a shabby small dirt house not far away. It seemed that he was looking for someone.
Bai Xian took the opportunity to look into the yard.
He is so tall that the courtyard wall can't block his sight.
He saw four big houses with a bluestone path in the middle of the yard, with trees and some vegetables on both sides.
Two old farmers and women followed Gu Zhen. They were startled by Bai Xian and others. They carefully opened the door and handed the key to Gu Zhen.
Gu Juan also could see that rural people didn't like to see strangers and said, "fourth uncle and fourth aunt, go back first and invite you when I'm ready."
The fourth uncle answered, turned around and left first with the fourth aunt.
Bai Xian and his entourage moved everything in the carriage into Gu Chen's main room.
The house of Gu's family is very clean without a trace of mildew.
The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt clean the yard every two days.
Although there are a lot of things, the three strong men are nimble, and they can move them in ten minutes.
After being busy, the driver and his entourage said to Gu: "Miss Gu, let's go first. We may settle down in the town in the evening and rush back to Shanghai tomorrow."
Gu Chen nodded and looked at Bai Xian again. "Thank you very much. Have a safe trip."
After that, she ran into the inner room, took out cash from her luggage and paid them for their hard work.
The two quickly waved their hands: "we are all Bai Ye's people, we should."
Then they went out.
When the car started, Gu Zhen found that Bai Xian had been standing behind her and didn't follow her.
Surprised, she hurried to stop the car: "wait a minute! There's someone else!"
The car sped away.
Gu is stunned and looks at Bai Xian.
Bai Xian's eyes still didn't fall on her and said, "after the ninth Master said, let me take you home for at least ten days and a half months to make sure you're safe."
Gu Zhen didn't feel quite right at this time.
Zhang Jiuye did his utmost to Gu Chen, but he was not such a trivial character.
Now that it's delivered, why do you have to stay a few more days?
Gu has just returned. Indeed, he may encounter difficulties or unimaginable problems. It's best to have a personal help.
But she still didn't think it was quite like Zhang Jiuye's style.
She looked at Bai Xian.
Bai Xian didn't look at her, but frowned, as if he was suffering something again.
His expression made Gu feel that he was impatient, just like the days after climbing the wall.
Perhaps, people can't wait to go back and run for his beautiful future in Shanghai instead of staying here?
"Or you'd better go." Gu Zhen said, "I'll send someone to take you to the town in an ox cart. Anyway, they won't leave until tomorrow. The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt will take care of me. Tell the ninth master to reassure him and yuzao."
Bai Xian didn't answer and frowned deeper.
Gu que said again: "besides, the country gossip is too powerful, lonely men and few women..."
Bai Xian said, "when I entered the village, I saw a dilapidated earth temple. I lived there at night. I dare not obey the orders of the ninth master."
Then he raised his feet and left.
Gu Chen was in a panic and hurriedly pulled him.
She wanted to hold his arm, but because she overestimated her height, the palm had touched his palm when she raised her hand.
He seemed frightened and grabbed the palm of her hand.
Gu was stunned and said, "don't..." The words behind her were interrupted by his holding her hand.
