Chapter 187 Are you sure there are no enemies outside?
Gu Xiaoxi dismounted at the city gate and knocked on the gate.
Bang bang bang!
Yingyi wanted to open the door, but was stopped by the soldier next to him.
"Brother, are you sure there are no enemies outside?" asked the soldier.
Ying Yi said clearly: "Code!"
Gu Xiaoxi imitated the call of a magpie.
After the secret code matched, Yingyi felt at ease to open the city gate.
Seeing that the girl was wearing a mask, he understood that it was to hide her identity, and he just bowed respectfully.
Gu Xiaoxi imitated the man's tone and said, "This is the person you want, you can do whatever you want with him! Your master only has superficial injuries, just take good care of him.
I have things to do and must get back as soon as possible."
She handed General Qin and Lieutenant General Lin to Yingyi, mounted her horse and left.
There was a patient at home, so she didn't dare leave for too long. She rode her horse back as quickly as possible.
When she got home, she went to check on the patient first. Seeing that the patient was well taken care of by the two maids, she took a shower, changed her clothes, and lay down to sleep without even eating.
"Mom, you fell asleep without eating anything?" Gu Bingxue tilted her little head and looked at the closed door.
Gu Ruixue also tilted her head, but didn't say anything.
Gu Feng thought for a moment and said, "It seems that my mother went to treat a patient this time. She was probably worried that my two sisters would be too busy to handle the patients at home, so she hurried back."
After hearing what their brother said, they took him to study there.
Gu Xiaoxi slept for a whole day and night. Chai went to check on her several times, but seeing how comfortably she slept, she couldn't bear to wake her up.
After a day and a night, Gu Xiaoxi woke up, feeling energetic, but her stomach felt terribly empty.
After getting up and washing up, she went to the kitchen.
At this moment, it was already afternoon and everyone had already finished lunch and was helping Gu Nanming in the backyard.
When the maid Xia Yu saw the young lady go to the kitchen, she called Qiu Shuang over and went to help in the kitchen.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw Xia Yu coming, she sat down on the stool and was too lazy to move.
Xia Yu made some egg fried rice for Gu Xiaoxi. The aroma was so fragrant that Gu Xiaoxi ate the whole plate clean.
After lunch, she went out and came to the tree in the woods, intending to see if there was any news.
"Girl!" Ying Si walked out from the darkness.
Seeing Ying Si appear, Gu Xiaoxi led him forward.
The two of them came under a big tree, and Ying Si knelt on the ground with his hands clasped in his hands: "Thank you, young lady, for saving our master."
"Get up, get up, I received one thousand taels of silver." Gu Xiaoxi said with a giggle.
"No matter what, you are our benefactor. If anything happens to our master, our future will not be easy." Ying Si was still very grateful when he heard this.
"Okay, we are old friends now, so there is no need to be so polite." Gu Xiaoxi really didn't like receiving such a big gift.
Ying Si asked the girl to wait here. He went to the woods and took out a backpack and gave it to the girl.
"Miss, this is a small gift from me, please accept it." He respectfully handed the backpack to the girl.
Gu Xiaoxi originally didn't plan to take it. After all, Ying Si was just an errand boy, and running errands was not easy.
However, seeing the other person's sincere look, she finally took the backpack away.
"Since I've accepted your things, I'll treat you to barbecue." She felt that this would make her feel better.
Ying Si's eyes lit up when he heard this. The last time he followed his master, he smelled the aroma of barbecue from a distance, which was much more fragrant than the one they grilled.
Therefore, he and Ying San had long wanted to try the barbecue grilled by the girl.
"Let's go!" Gu Xiaoxi saw Ying Si's eyes and walked ahead.
The two went to the forest halfway up the mountain and hunted a few rabbits. Gu Xiaoxi patiently taught him how to marinate the rabbit meat so that it would taste good when grilled.
Ying Si studied very hard, not only because he and Ying San wanted to try it, but also because the master liked it. He planned to learn it well so that he could make it for the master when the girl was not around.
In order to help Ying Si learn this method of grilling, Gu Xiaoxi moved very slowly.
After marinating, she told him how to control the heat to make the barbecue taste better.
Smelling the aroma of barbecue, Ying Si was as happy as a child.
"Girl, you are so amazing. I didn't expect there are so many seasonings that I don't know. No wonder the meat I grilled is not as delicious as yours." He said as he ate the meat in big mouthfuls.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled back, "I'm a foodie, and so is my master. They both love to delve into these things, so that's why they know so many."
She made up an excuse to avoid Ye Lixuan asking too many questions. After all, in this day and age, most people don't know so many seasonings.
"By the way, where do you usually live?" She suddenly remembered that since they showed up so quickly, they must not be too far from where she lived.
Ying Si chuckled and said, "If it doesn't rain on the trees, then find a cave."
After hearing Ying Si say this, Gu Xiaoxi felt that they were really working hard.
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you build a wooden house near us? The land belongs to me, and then you can say you're a tenant. You've all changed your appearances anyway."
"Thank you, young lady!" Ying Si thanked excitedly.
After thanking him, he continued, "Will this bother the young lady? By then, I'm afraid the master..."
"When the time comes, just tell him that this is my intention. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it will snow if it gets colder. We can't live on the road." Gu Xiaoxi thought that since it can be convenient, then do it.
To put it bluntly, he is just a poor worker!
After eating the meat, Gu Xiaoxi carried the basket and walked home with Ying Si.
When they returned home, Xue opened the door. Seeing her sister-in-law bringing back a young man, she looked at him curiously.
Ying Si blushed in embarrassment when he was stared at, and Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing.
“Sister-in-law, this is a friend of mine. She wants to stay in the village for a while and wait for her brother to come.
I asked him to build a wooden house next to it, and he will pay us the rent when the time comes." Gu Xiaoxi said casually.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xue muttered, "I thought you had found a brother-in-law!"
Gu Xiaoxi...
Why does the elder sister-in-law want to marry her off so much?
She has three children now. Which man is so stupid as to accept such a thing?
She pretended not to hear anything, took Ying Si to the guest room, and handed Ying Si over to Afeng.
Gu Feng took Ying Si to familiarize himself with the room, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.
Ying Si was finally able to wash himself properly. His body was so smelly that he was afraid of disturbing the girl's family.
That’s right!
They all call her girl, but they don’t know her name?
It seems that their master calls her Cuihua?
"Afeng, what does Miss Cuihua usually need to do? Is there anything I can help with?" Ying Si thought Afeng was the girl's servant, so he wanted to ask Afeng.
"Cui, who is Cuihua?" Gu Feng looked at Ying Si curiously.
