She looked at her eldest grandson standing in front of her, then looked down at the thing bulging in her wide sleeves, thought for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "You really don't want me to do a part?"
Gui Bu said, "No need, Grandma."
Old Lady Wei smacked her lips with some regret. She was not well prepared to "subdue" Lao Liu last time, and she thought she didn't perform well. This time, she asked Baili Chen to prepare carefully for a whole night, and she strictly selected the fonts for the big words "Crane's Beak Red" and "Intestinal Poison"! To ensure that everything is covered -
But suddenly it’s of no use?
Old Lady Wei coughed lightly and rubbed her hands: "Well, actually, grandma can do a segment."
"That's really not necessary." Gui Bu refused mercilessly.
Old Lady Wei opened her mouth and said, "Well, okay, I'll listen to you."
Wei family.
Several sisters-in-law sat in the pavilion to enjoy the cool air.
The Li family received news this morning that Madam Li was unwell, so Mrs. Li took Wei Xiyue back to her parents' home to visit relatives and is not at home at the moment.
The third sister-in-law Chen, the fourth sister-in-law Lan and the fifth sister-in-law Jiang were eating fruits leisurely, while Su Xiaoxiao, who was walking up the stairs slowly, was almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Not only am I tired, but I'm also in pain. It hurts everywhere.
She held her waist with one hand and the pillar of the pavilion with the other, panting and saying with a look of despair, "You promised to teach me Qinggong... why are you still letting me be a sandbag?"
Jiang peeled a lotus pod and said, "This is how you practice Qinggong. We chase you and beat you. When you can outrun us, your Qinggong will be perfected!"
No, no, no, she doesn't believe a word of what the fifth sister-in-law said! Su Xiaoxiao looked at Chen with grievance.
The third sister-in-law is the worst at lying, and she only trusts her.
Chen nodded slowly: "That's true. We only used 10% of our strength today. We need to use 20% tomorrow. You have to work harder too."
Su Xiaoxiao's body swayed.
With one level of power, she is already so miserable, what will happen with two levels of power?
She shouldn't have sent Su Mo away just now...
She is so stupid, really!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three people with tears in her eyes: "Is there no inner strength method?"
The three of them stopped eating lotus pods at the same time.
Well……
I forgot to give my seventh brother and sister the Qinggong technique...
Su Xiaoxiao, who was badly cheated on the first day of learning Qinggong, said that she would never fall in love again.
"Hey, Seventh Sister-in-law, please sit down. Come over and rest for a while. Fifth Sister-in-law will peel lotus seeds for you!" Jiang smiled and used her soothing method to help Su Xiaoxiao sit down on the stool.
Lan and Chen also contributed their freshly peeled lotus seeds.
The three of them felt a little embarrassed and immediately changed the subject, talking about Old Lady Wei's trip to look for Gui Bu.
"Do you think grandma will succeed?" asked Lan.
Jiang peeled a lotus seed and said, "No! My eldest brother is very stubborn. He won't come back with grandma!"
Lan sighed, "That's right. He has become a dead soldier. He definitely doesn't want to come back and make us sad."
Su Xiaoxiao expressed her doubts: "Why would people feel sad when someone becomes a dead soldier? Is it because the dead soldier has forgotten his past? But if he has forgotten, why would he be afraid of everyone being sad?"
"It has nothing to do with memory." Jiang whispered, "The dead soldiers used extreme techniques to improve their martial arts. Their lifespans are very short."
Being strong comes at a price. They became more powerful masters in a shorter period of time, and their bodies were severely overdrawn, so they often could not die like normal people.
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the brief period of weakness that Xiu Nu would experience after each attack. Perhaps after one of these attacks, the assassin would die of exhaustion.
I don’t know if the pharmacy has any medicine that can help the dead people prolong their lives.
As they were talking, a servant suddenly came to report that Old Lady Wei had returned home.
Jiang was stunned. "So soon? How thoroughly did big brother reject grandma? It's over, it's over. Grandma must be very sad! I'll go to Master Ling to pick up Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu! With them accompanying grandma, grandma will be happier..."
Lan also said, "I'll go see when Xiyue will be back."
At this time, the only way the little ones can do is to use their cuteness to divert their grandmother's attention.
Su Xiaoxiao looked into the distance and said hesitantly, "I think... you guys may not be busy anymore."
Several people followed her gaze and were stunned for a moment.
What's going on? Grandmother and eldest brother...returned home together?
That man in black robe is the eldest brother, right?
We fought last night, so it wouldn't be hard to recognize him even if he was wearing a new mask.
Jiang grabbed the sleeves of several people and said, "Let's go! Let's go and take a look!"
Old Lady Wei walked with Gui Bu on the path full of gardenias in high spirits.
"The mansion has changed a lot in the past few years. A lot of flowers and plants have been planted. Will you be uncomfortable with it?" asked Old Lady Wei with a smile.
"No." Gui Bu said.
"Do you remember the pear tree planted here?" Old Lady Wei pointed to a large pit and asked, "It was hit by heavy rains in the capital some time ago, and it was broken. I had it moved to the back."
Gui Bu said nothing.
"Grandma!" Jiang and Su Xiaoxiao and their group came over.
She came to Grandmother and Gui Bu first. She looked Gui Bu up and down and asked, "Are you...really my eldest brother?"
Gui Bu nodded: "Fifth brother's wife."
Jiang was surprised: "Brother, do you still remember me?"
Gui Bu did not answer, but looked at the three people behind her: "Third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law..."
When his eyes fell on Su Xiaoxiao, he paused for a moment and said, "Seventh brother's sister, grandma introduced you to me on the road. I hope I'll forgive you for any offense I caused you yesterday."
Everyone was a little uncomfortable, but when they thought about his experience, they felt that as long as he came back alive, it would be okay even if he lived a cold life for the rest of his life.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled calmly: "Oh, it was my bird that was ignorant and disturbed Big Brother."
"Can I go back to the yard first?" Gui Bu asked Old Lady Wei.
Old Lady Wei looked at Su Xiaoxiao and her group, then looked at Gui Bu and said with a smile, "Don't you still need to go see your mother?"
The ghost said in fear, "I'll see her later."
Old Lady Wei was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "Okay, you must be exhausted after traveling all the way from the Western Jin Dynasty. We can talk another day."
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Jiang scratched her head: "Third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, do you think that big brother is weird? Does he really remember us? Why does he look like he doesn't want to pay attention to us?"
Chen is not sensitive to these interpersonal interactions.
Lan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he has gone through too much and is feeling bitter. Isn't Liu Lang different now?"
Jiang murmured, "But Liu Lang is still very close to us."
Su Xiaoxiao looked suspiciously at the ghost who disappeared at the end of the path.
She believed that Old Lady Wei would not mistake her grandson, but was Gui Bu really still the eldest son of the Wei family? Old Lady Wei placed Gui Bu in Haitang Courtyard, which was very close to her courtyard and next door to Baili Chen's residence.
"Grandmother wants to ask for your opinion. Should I hide my identity first, or make it public? The situation in the capital is a bit complicated now. The people from Northern Yan are coming. I am afraid they will harm you and Liu Lang. I hope to wait until the envoys from Northern Yan leave before announcing to the public that you are still alive."
The ghost said in fear: "I will obey grandma in everything."
"Well, you stay here for a few days first, and then move back to your and...your own courtyard after your status is restored." Old Lady Wei stopped talking in time and did not mention Chu.
Gui Bu said, "Grandma, I don't remember some things clearly, and I may not remember them in the future."
"It doesn't matter." Old Lady Wei said, "It's God's mercy that you can come back alive."
Gui Bu nodded indifferently.
Old Lady Wei sat for a while and then left.
Not long after, Wei Liulang came over.
He had just come back from outside and heard from his sisters-in-law that his eldest brother had returned home. He was as happy as a child and couldn't wait to find him.
“Brother! Brother!”
Gui Bu sat on the chair and raised his hand to take off the mask, but stopped.
Wei Liulang came to the door, he swung his hand back and used his inner strength to insert the bolt.
Wei Liulang was blocked when he pushed the door open, so he shook it and said, "Brother! I am Xiao Liu! Do you still remember me? Open the door! I want to talk to you! My voice has changed, but that's because my throat is ruined. I really am Xiao Liu!"
The ghost didn't move.
Wei Liulang knocked on the door for a while and said disappointedly: "Brother, are you tired? Then you should take a rest first. I will come to see you later."
After saying this, he walked away, looking back every few steps.
Gui Bu took off the mask on his face.
I thought I could finally have some peace and quiet, but unexpectedly the door was knocked again.
Gui Bu still ignored him.
clang!
The door was kicked open! A murderous look flashed across Gui Bu's eyes. He drew out the long sword on the table, and quickly flashed in front of the opponent, placing the sword on his neck.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly.
"Is it you?" Gui Bu put away his sword and sat back in his chair.
Su Xiaoxiao brushed off the shoulder that was pressed by his sword energy with her silver-gloved hand and walked in leisurely.
"Drink it."
Su Xiaoxiao handed her a cup of tea, "It's not poisonous."
Gui Bu said calmly: "I'm not thirsty."
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her other hand to him: "Then give me a strand of your hair."
Gui Bu asked: "What do you want to do?"
Su Xiaoxiao said frankly: "I want to verify your identity and see if you are the real Wei Dalang."
The ghost said in terror: "I am."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter whether you are or not, what matters is that I say whether you are or not."
Gui Bu looked at her strangely, not understanding what she said for a moment.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "You haven't recovered your memory, right? You just investigated us and have a certain understanding of us."
Gui Bu said coldly: "Even if you say I am not, no one will believe it."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Old Lady Wei should have told you that the body tests I conducted on you and your second brother were wrong. So, as long as I say you are a fake, you will definitely be kicked out of the Wei family!"
Gui Bu looked at her coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao put the teacup on the table calmly: "I don't really care whether you have recovered your memory or not. I just want to know what is your purpose of coming back? Don't try to deceive me. I can see that you are pretending. You are not someone who can be easily deceived."
Gui Bu and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes met, and a silent fight spread in the air.
Su Xiaoxiao's martial arts skills were indeed not as good as Gui Bu's, but Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid.
Gui Bu said: "I can only tell you that I will not touch the Wei family."
Cover your face, today is only the 31st, so I will harass you all for one more day. The current monthly votes have exceeded 16,000, which is a number I never dared to imagine before.
There are only a dozen hours left. Let's make one last effort and vote for the monthly tickets in our hands to see how high "General" can go! (End of this chapter)
