Chapter 318: Witch
When Gu Yuchuan woke up, it was already the next morning.
He saw Gu Jiayue dozing off on the table beside him with her head propped up, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
This unexpected disaster was caused by him.
Zhu Dachang?
Thinking of this person, the anger that Gu Yuchuan had managed to control in his heart suddenly burst out.
I originally wanted to keep him for a while to see if there was someone behind him, but he actually dared to hurt him and his family.
Well, don't blame him for being rude.
“Cough cough cough…”
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I couldn't control myself and coughed.
Gu Jiayue was awakened.
"Second brother, are you awake?" Then he quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"Yes, thank you." He took the water and drank two sips, feeling much better. "Have those men in black been caught?"
Gu Jiayue looked out the window, speechless. "They're all dead."
Gu Yuchuan followed her gaze. Wherever there was a big tree, that was where the secret guards usually hid.
This hidden blade is quite ruthless.
But it’s better this way. Without help, it’s easier for Zhu Dachang to clean up.
"Did you not sleep all night? I'm fine now, go back to your room and get some rest."
Gu Jiayue nodded. "Okay, I'll go see if Auntie Lin's chicken soup is ready."
Aunt Lin and her family of three were hired by Gu Jiayue to help look after the yard. Aunt Lin was in charge of the kitchen, their son was in charge of yard maintenance, and her husband was in charge of guarding the door.
After Gu Jiayue left, Gu Yuchuan slowly got up from the bed and walked to the window, looking at the big tree not far away.
"Nightblade."
After a few breaths, one of the branches swayed slightly. A moment later, Night Blade, dressed in dark green, appeared before Gu Yuchuan.
"Do me a favor."
Night Blade's face was expressionless. "Why?"
"I have some news here. You can tell your master. I think he will be very interested."
Gu Yuchuan took out a note and handed it to Ye Ren.
This was prepared before leaving the county. He is still in the development stage and has no one to use. If he wants to accomplish anything, he can only rely on the power of others.
At the beginning, he wanted to use Zheng Qinghe's hand to get rid of the Zhu family. After all, on the day when he had a dispute with Zhu Dachang, he realized that Zheng Qinghe's patience with the Zhu family had reached its limit.
But the appearance of Ye Ren made him change his mind. In this world, besides the current emperor, who else could be more powerful than Jiang Luli?
If they could use his power, the Zhu family would surely be doomed.
Ye Ren took the note and put it in his arms without even looking at it. "What do you want to do?"
Gu Yuchuan lowered his head and whispered something to Ye Ren.
After an incense stick of time passed, Gu Yuchuan finally stopped talking.
And the look Ye Ren gave him changed from disdain at the beginning to vigilance now.
The man in front of me doesn't look like a good person!
Fortunately, this man is Miss Gu's brother, otherwise he would have to suggest to the master to get rid of this man.
It’s so dangerous!
He can even think of such a mean trick!
ox!
There was a sound of footsteps, and Ye Ren turned around and jumped away.
He didn't say whether this thing could be done, but Gu Yuchuan knew that Ye Ren took it.
After waiting for a while, Gu Jiayue came in with chicken soup. "Brother, drink a bowl of chicken soup first. Lunch will take a while."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, it's okay." Gu Jiayue sat across from him. "After drinking the chicken soup, just lie down and rest for a while. Zheng Qinghe said he'll definitely get to the bottom of the killer's case. Don't worry. I'll get a doctor to check you out later."
Gu Yuchuan didn't say anything, just drank the chicken soup quietly and listened to Gu Jiayue.
Gu Jiayue finished speaking, and Gu Yuchuan put down his bowl. "Let's go back to Taohua Village tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Isn't that too hasty? Your injury..."
Gu Yuchuan waved his hand. "Nothing." How could he escape suspicion if he didn't leave? Although his plan was foolproof, he still had to avoid some possible risks.
"Okay. As you say."
Early the next morning, the Gu siblings boarded the carriage back to the village again.
However, Gu Jiayue was afraid of encountering someone blocking her way again, so she spent a lot of money to hire Zheng Qinghe's guards to escort her.
Zheng Qinghe didn't want to take the money, but Gu Jiayue insisted, saying that if he didn't take it, she wouldn't bother him anymore.
How could he feel at ease without someone to see him off, so he had no choice but to accept it.
However, this time the journey was peaceful, and nothing bad happened until we entered Taohua Village.
When she saw the gate of the Gu family, Gu Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a surge of emotion rose in her heart.
This emotion is a bit inexplicable, just like a traveler who has been away from home for a long time suddenly seeing an old friend, sour and swollen.
But she had only been away from home for a few days.
As she was thinking, she started laughing. She didn't expect that she was such a sentimental person.
Mrs. Li, who was cleaning the yard, heard the sound and looked up to see her two children standing on the road.
He ran out excitedly, "You guys are back? Did everything go smoothly along the way?"
Gu Jiayue glanced at Gu Yuchuan and said nothing.
Gu Yuchuan could only say: "There was a little accident, but it's not a big problem and has been dealt with."
Only then did Li realize that Gu Yuchuan's face was a little pale, and he was leaning on Gu Jiayue.
She exclaimed and quickly reached out to help Gu Yuchuan.
Gu Yuchuan did not refuse and returned to the room with the help of the mother and daughter.
Along the way, Gu Jiayue briefly and half-truthfully recounted what had happened the day before.
Even so, Li was still frightened. "Oh, how can these bad guys be so rampant? Have you reported it to the police?"
"Mother, don't worry. The county magistrate is investigating and will inform us as soon as she has any news."
Li was still uneasy, and she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Gu Yuchuan's weak appearance.
Why has this child been so miserable since childhood?
It seems that my life will be in danger as soon as I touch upon reading.
Is it possible that he has a bad relationship with studying in this life?
No, she will go to the temple to pray tomorrow. If that doesn’t work, she will ask Wang Po to tell Yuchuan if he is causing any problems.
"You lie down, mother will make you some nourishing food." Li thought as she walked out of Gu Yuchuan's room.
Gu Yuchuan wanted to refuse, but then he thought, forget it, let his mother do it if she wants.
Little did she know that as soon as Li turned around, tears started to fall.
What a poor son he is. God is jealous of his talent and he has had a miserable fate since childhood.
No! Hurry up and find Wang Po to help him!
So, a little later, Gu Yuchuan not only received his mother's brand of loving chicken soup, but also received a weird old lady.
"Mom, what is this?"
Li quickly stopped him, "Be quiet, Wang Po is reading your fortune."
