"Who is Gu Youying? How did she get involved with Bai Shu?" Yu Ge didn't know the ins and outs of this matter.
Qiao Qiu told him everything that had happened.
Only after hearing the fisherman's song did he understand.
"In short, Gu Youying likes Bai Shu to the point of being humble. If you go, finding them won't be difficult, but how will you deal with them?" Qiao Qiu asked.
Yu Ge thought for a moment, then walked to the window, put his little finger to his lips, and blew a sound.
Suddenly, a small eagle flew in from the sky.
Yu Ge walked to the table, wrote a note, rolled it up, put it in the bamboo tube on the eagle's leg, and released it.
Seeing that he had already made arrangements, Qiao Qiu got up and left.
Yu Ge watched her retreating figure and said, "In a couple of days, I will buy a piece of land with a mountain behind it. What do you think?"
“Very good.” Qiao Qiu said without turning her head, her tone indicating that she agreed with him.
Yu Ge felt that being near the mountains would make it easier for him to develop other things.
After Qiao Qiu went out, she learned about the current situation of the two people from the ring.
Bai Shu's injuries had not fully healed, and he still did not fancy Gu Youying. However, he needed her now, so he did not openly reject her.
Qiao Qiu sighed. "If you have a beautiful woman by your side, cherish her. You two are an official couple, why do you have to be so love-hate relationship? It's not good."
...
Several groups of villagers went out and searched all day, even turning up rat holes, but they still couldn't find any trace of Gu Youying.
Aunt Gu cried bitterly, and after returning home, she prepared for her funeral.
Qiao Qiu remained silent. She was the one who knew the most about this matter, but she couldn't say anything.
Judging from Aunt Gu's appearance, it's hard to tell how sincere she is. It's true that these are her own children, but they are also the children she dislikes the most.
They waited so long to start looking for her; if they didn't want her to die out there, they probably would have searched every corner of the village.
Although Qiao Qiu thought this way, she didn't want to get involved and put it out of her mind, since it had nothing to do with him after all.
Even if there are connections, leave it to Yuge to handle.
Two days later, Yu Ge's injuries had healed considerably. He kept his word and found a spot that seemed unsuitable for growing crops but was excellent for building houses.
They approached the village chief and the landowner to discuss buying the land.
When the owner of the land heard that he was going to build a new house to prepare for his marriage to Qiao Qiu, he sold it without saying a word.
The villagers initially thought Qiao Qiu was promiscuous, but upon closer reflection, they realized she hadn't done anything inappropriate with Bai Shu. She had only helped him deliver medicine to them, and they hadn't even held hands.
Qiao Qiu has been helping the village, resulting in fewer illnesses among them this year.
In previous years, I would have had to go to town around this time and spend a lot of money, but this year I don't need to at all.
How much did Qiao Qiu help them? They misunderstood her so much, but she wasn't angry. She even helped them get medical treatment. Where can you find such a good person?
She's getting married, so I have to give her a gift.
The owner of the land originally wanted to give it to Yuge, but Yuge refused no matter what and insisted on giving him twenty taels of silver.
Actually, the land here isn't worth that much money, but Yuge values this place highly, so he spends the money very carefully.
Seeing that he was unwilling to take advantage, the landowner secretly asked the village chief to allocate more land to him.
Yu Ge didn't understand much about it, so he didn't ask any questions and directly called his men to help build the house.
The villagers weren't surprised; everyone came to help.
Seeing how generous Yu Ge was, Qiao's father pulled him aside to ask him more questions.
Yu Ge told him that he was a disciple of a sect who had come out to travel around, but after returning home he found that his master had died, so he came here.
Qiao's father asked Bai Shu what had happened. Yu Ge said that Bai Shu was his senior brother, and they had some personal grudges. They accidentally ended up fighting here. He promised to compensate everyone for their losses.
Mr. Qiao found his straightforwardness amusing. It was just that some ridges had collapsed, and the crops had already been harvested by everyone else. What loss could there be?
After he told Yuge, Yuge just grinned foolishly.
A month later, the new house was completed, and Yuge brought betrothal gifts to the Qiao family to propose marriage.
When Qiao's father saw the betrothal gifts, he found that they were all very valuable.
He was somewhat worried about Yuge, but his daughter's reputation was ultimately tied to him, and he had no choice but to keep an eye on her.
Mr. Qiao agreed, and since they weren't in a hurry to move into the new house, they agreed to get married three months later.
Qiao Qiu had been waiting patiently for Yu Ge to come and marry her, but then she received a message.
Bai Shu escaped, taking Gu Youying with him.
No one on Yuge's side knew their whereabouts, but Qiao Qiu knew that Gu Youying would definitely return here, and Bai Shu would definitely come here as well.
Fortunately, Qiao Qiu had the ring to help her find out their whereabouts, but she still took a stroll in the woods every day.
To avoid attracting attention, she specifically brought Xiao Hui with her.
A few days later, Qiao Qiu and Xiao Hui were in the woods when they suddenly sensed something unusual.
Her eyes flickered, and she sent Xiao Hui away.
She was the only one left in the woods when Qiao Qiu said, "You deliberately exposed yourself just so you could see me alone? Serve the food."
A dark shadow flashed and landed in front of her.
As always, Bai Shu still faced her with the same inclination.
Qiao Qiu chuckled, "As expected, it's the two of you."
"So you knew we were coming all along." Bai Shu turned around, her delicate face still the same as always, but her expression was much colder.
"Of course I know, but I don't know when you'll be coming, so I wander around here for a while every day, just to wait for her." Qiao Qiu looked at Gu Youying with deep eyes.
Gu Youying was startled and hid behind Bai Shu. "Qiao Qiu, why are you waiting for me?"
“I’m waiting for you because you’re already ‘dead’,” Qiao Qiu said.
"You want to kill her?" Bai Shu raised an eyebrow.
"Why would I kill her?" Qiao Qiu said with a laugh. "Her mother has already held a funeral for her because she couldn't find her. If she goes back, how will she face her mother? And all the villagers? Let's not talk about that. Gu Youying, how do you explain where you've been all these days? And being with a man."
Looking at Qiao Qiu's sneer, Gu Youying really hated her, but she was right.
If we just go back like this, how do we explain it?
"You're being so kind as to tell me this?"
"Of course not." Qiao Qiu smiled.
"So what is your purpose?" Gu Youying asked.
"That's none of your business. In short, as long as you don't go in, everyone's fine." Qiao Qiu said slowly, then turned and walked into the village.
Bai Shu watched her retreating figure, recalling the new house he had seen in the village...
"Is it because you're getting married?"
