Chapter 48 This is forcing him to go into the mountains
At midnight, Chen Qijun suddenly stood up and banged his head against the wall, and several people couldn't stop him.
Realizing that this was not a normal situation, they hurried over to seek Gu Xiaoxi's help.
After understanding the cause of the illness, Gu Xiaoxi gave some instructions to her third brother and got on the Chen family's carriage.
Chen Qinian met Gu Nanming. He took out the gift he had prepared and handed it to Gu Nanming: "Third Brother Gu, this is a gift from me to my uncle and aunt. Please accept it."
"This..." Gu Nanming couldn't make the decision.
Gu Xiaoxi heard the voice, lifted the car curtain and said, "Take it!"
She also didn't want to alarm the weirdos next door because of this matter, so she agreed.
Hearing his sister's agreement, Gu Nanming took Chen Qinian's gift, turned into the yard and closed the door.
Chen Qinian got on the carriage and it left quickly.
As soon as the carriage left, the doors of the two neighboring houses opened, and both families were curious about who this person was.
However, they did not see Gu Xiaoxi get on the carriage. They all thought that he came to the village to look for someone, so they did not take it seriously.
After Chen Qinian and his companions' carriage left the village, it began to gallop. They rushed into the city and returned home as quickly as possible.
Gu Xiaoxi entered the Chen family's house and soon saw Chen Qijun tied up.
Although Chen Qijun was tied up, his eyes were still dull and his head looked like it was banging forward.
"This is forcing him to go into the mountains." Gu Xiaoxi saw the intention at a glance.
"That woman is so hateful!" Chen Qinian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't respond, but walked forward and gave Chen Qijun two injections.
Chen Qijun fainted, and Chen Yuanwai hurriedly ordered someone to come up and treat his wounds.
"You don't even give us any time at all?" Mr. Chen said with a worried look on his face.
"If that's the case, it's probably because her wedding is approaching and she can't sit still anymore." Gu Xiaoxi said.
"Do we still need to go into the mountains to look for it?" asked Mr. Chen.
"Yes. If it was just an ordinary marriage, the girl's family would have called off the engagement. There must be a reason why they couldn't cancel the marriage normally." Gu Xiaoxi speculated.
Mr. Chen nodded in agreement and looked at Xiaoxi with appreciation.
"Second uncle, have you found your people?" Chen Qinian asked anxiously.
"I've found it. We'll set off at dawn." Mr. Chen replied.
"Give them more silver and let them leave now. I'm worried that the woman won't be able to wait and will come looking for me." Gu Xiaoxi said.
"Okay, okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon." After saying that, Mr. Chen ran out of the yard.
Chen Qinian asked his servants to pour water and serve cakes. Everyone was feeling sleepy at this time, so they drank some tea and ate some cakes to refresh themselves.
Gu Xiaoxi did not sit down immediately. She went to check Chen Qijun's physical condition first.
The blood seemed to awaken, and the pulse was much faster than before.
She asked Chen Qinian to find cinnabar and yellow paper, and she drew a few talismans and asked Chen Qinian to stick them in the house.
"From now on, anyone who comes in must close the door and the windows cannot be opened. At midnight, fumigate the house with mugwort. The smell is a bit pungent, so the person doing it can cover their nose." She handed the talisman to Chen Qinian and gave a few more instructions.
Unfortunately, her current skills are not good enough, otherwise she could just draw the talisman with her bare hands, which would not be so troublesome and she could also hide her skills.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxi. I'll remember it." Chen Qinian nodded.
Chen Yu picked up a pen and paper and wrote down what Xiaoxi girl said.
After giving the instructions, Gu Xiaoxi and Chen Qinian walked out of the room and came to the main hall.
Not long after, Mr. Chen came back from outside. After listening to what Lao Yu had said, he hurried into the room.
"I have no choice but to disturb Miss Xiaoxi so late. Please forgive me!" He bowed politely to Gu Xiaoxi.
"Mr. Chen is too polite. I am also friends with him." Gu Xiaoxi felt that Mr. Chen was too polite, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, yes. There's nothing to do now. You'd better take a rest first." Mr. Chen was worried that the girl would appear suddenly and they would not be her match.
"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi was indeed a little sleepy.
Chen Yu took Gu Xiaoxi into a guest room next door, which they had specially cleaned up.
After closing the door, Gu Xiaoxi lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
I was indeed very sleepy. I had been busy all day and went to bed late at night. I hadn't slept for more than two hours, so it would be strange if I wasn't sleepy.
Chen Qijun slept until almost noon the next day. He was fine, so Mr. Chen asked everyone not to disturb Gu Xiaoxi.
Chen Qinian didn't go to the academy today. He spent his time practicing boxing in the yard.
Seeing that it was almost noon and Sister Xiaoxi had not yet gotten up, he looked in that direction several times.
"Oh no, there's a woman outside, circling around here. I wonder if it's her?" Suddenly the doorman ran in anxiously to report to the third young master.
When Chen Qinian heard this, he was about to go and find out what was going on, but he heard the door open.
"Don't go, just pretend you didn't see it." Gu Xiaoxi warned.
"Yes!" After hearing this, the doorman turned around and ran out. He was also ordered to come here to ask Miss Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi asked Chen Qinian to get some more cinnabar and yellow paper, and she drew two other talismans to intensify the effect.
After finishing, she sat in the room and looked at Chen Qijun, asked Chen Qinian to go out and read, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Chen Qinian went out obediently, leaving Gu Xiaoxi and a servant in the room.
Phew!
Chen Qijun suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Gu Xiaoxi went forward to check and found that Chen Qinian's pulse was beating faster and faster. She realized that the woman had not left and was still trying to find the whereabouts of Chen Qijun.
"Is there a rooster in the backyard?" she asked the servant next to her.
"I don't know about this. I'll go and take a look." The servant said and went out.
At this time, a woman dressed as a servant had climbed over the wall in the backyard.
She moved her nose and seemed to smell a familiar scent.
"Chen Lang, I'm here to find you. Don't worry, as long as I can cure you, your family will agree that we can be together." Her face was full of joy, and even though she was wearing men's clothes, she still couldn't hide her charm.
It turned out that the woman wandering outside the yard was not the woman who had put the curse on Chen Qijun, but was just the sister of the woman who had put the curse on him.
The woman carefully passed through two courtyards and finally found the strongest smell. She quickened her pace and walked to the door of Chen Qijun's room.
"Stop, what are you going in for?" Chen Qinian, who was practicing boxing in the yard, suddenly saw a strange face appear at the door of his second brother's room and shouted cautiously.
The woman twitched her nose, confirming that the person she was looking for was inside. She ignored what Chen Qinian said, pushed open the door and rushed in.
When she entered the room, she saw a woman sitting by the bed, and her lover was lying on the bed. Seeing this scene, she roared in anger: "You vixen, how dare you seduce my man? I will kill you!"
Gu Xiaoxi felt the danger coming and dodged it. When she saw the person in front of her, she immediately realized that this was the woman who had cast a curse on Chen Qijun.
"You're still quite capable! I'll tear you to pieces!" The woman was very ferocious. She took out a dagger from her waist and stabbed it towards Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi felt a little uneasy. This woman had a very strong aura, and she might not be able to match her with her current strength.
