Chapter 634 The Cunning Beauty Xiao (Second Update)
Little Jingkong paused, opened her eyes wide, turned around, and stared blankly at the other person.
"Jiaojiao?"
Xiao Jingkong, who had been searching all the way, suddenly felt a surge of immense grievance and burst into tears, crying out, "Jiaojiao!"
"It really is you." Gu Jiao walked over, squatted down, and hugged the little guy into her arms.
Gu Jiao didn't dare to recognize him just now because the child's gait and figure were similar, but his appearance was too dark. Her Jingkong was a fair-skinned and tender little cutie, how did he suddenly become a little dark-skinned child?
When he's alone, Xiao Jingkong doesn't feel wronged, but when someone cares for him, he feels wronged. He cries loudly and successfully turns himself into a little rain spirit.
Gu Jiao never expected to run into Xiao Jingkong here, or more precisely, she never expected Xiao Jingkong to come to Yan State.
Xiao Jingkong looked extremely disheveled, and his whole body reeked of a strong sulfur smell.
At the same time, Gu Jiao also noticed that Xiao Jingkong had been holding someone else's hand just now.
Now I'm sure she's a person; I just thought she was a big sack.
Gu Jiao had too many questions on her mind, but this wasn't the place to talk about them. She decided to take Xiao Jingkong back, but before that, she needed to determine whether it was also necessary for him to be taken back.
"Who is he?" Gu Jiao asked.
Mr. Meng's face had been blown to a pulp, so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
Little Jingkong hadn't stopped crying yet, and sobbed as he said, "He was a kind old man... He brought me... brought me to find Jiaojiao... and then he was accidentally knocked unconscious by the explosion..."
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Jiao took both of them back.
It's not far from where they live; you can get there by walking through the alley.
Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan had already rested. Master Lu was practicing boxing in the courtyard, while Madam Nan was concocting poison on the side.
creak—
The courtyard gate was pushed open.
Nan Shi's wife hurriedly put down the medicinal herbs in her hand: "Jiaojiao is back."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a small, dark head poked its way in.
Nan Shi Niang was taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, she saw a little black boy leading Gu Jiao in, with someone else on Gu Jiao's shoulder.
Nan Shi Niang stood there dumbfounded.
What's going on?
How did Jiaojiao end up bringing two people home after going out?
Nan Shi Niang opened her mouth: "Jiao Jiao..."
"Call someone," Gu Jiao said to Xiao Jingkong.
Little Jingkong obediently called out, "Master Nan!" Then he turned in another direction, "Master Lu!"
"Ouch!" Master Lu punched himself in the face, making his nose bleed.
Where did this little black baby come from?
Why do you speak exactly the same way as Xiao Jingkong?
Isn't Xiao Jingkong in Zhao Kingdom? He must have seen a ghost in the middle of the night!
Nan Shi Niang was no less shocked than her husband. Luckily, she had put down the poison in her hand, otherwise she would have definitely fed it into her mouth by now.
She looked at the little black child in front of her, who seemed to blend into the night: "This is... Jingkong?"
Little Jingkong put his hands behind his back and tilted his head: "Master Nan!"
That familiar little gesture, that familiar little tone of voice, it's definitely Jingkong.
"Why are you so dark?" Nan Shi's wife finally couldn't help but ask the most profound question.
Gu Jiao was also curious.
Xiao Jingkong said aggrievedly, "That's because of the sun."
It was exposed by my bad brother-in-law.
Following my wicked brother-in-law all the way has been incredibly tough.
Nan Shi Niang then asked, "Who brought you to Yan?" A five-year-old child couldn't have run away on his own.
Little Nine flapped its wings and landed on the fence in the yard.
Xiao Jingkong's eyes darted around, and he pointed, "Xiao Jiu brought me here!"
Everyone: "..."
Gu Jiao had asked this question on the way. Xiao Jingkong had even explained that he had encountered robbers, but he wouldn't tell her who he had come to Yan with.
Madam Nan could only give up for now and ask again later. She then looked at the person Gu Jiao had carried in and asked, "Who is this person—"
Gu Jiao said, "A kind old man brought Jingkong out of the inner city. I'll take him to get medical treatment first."
Master Lu came over after treating the nosebleed: "I'll do it."
Master Lu carried the person into the main room and placed him on a chair.
Gu Jiao went to get the small medicine box, and Xiao Jingkong followed her like a little tail, going wherever Gu Jiao went.
"Are you hungry?" Mrs. Nan asked with a smile as she entered the house. "I'll go cook a bowl of noodles."
Xiao Jingkong fiddled with his fingers and said, "I want to eat the steamed egg custard that Jiaojiao makes."
Gu Jiao turned to look at the little tail behind her and smiled, "I'll make it for you in a bit."
Mrs. Nan smiled and said, "I'll go and light the firewood first."
She went to the kitchen, where Gu Jiao continued to treat the old man.
He was mostly unharmed, except for some minor scrapes he sustained on the way back when Xiao Jingkong dragged him back, and the fact that he had inhaled the sleeping potion from the Black Fire Pearl.
He will wake up once the effects of the drug wear off.
Gu Jiao suddenly thought of a question: Xiao Jingkong was also blown up by the black fire pearl, so he should have been drugged. Why was Xiao Jingkong unharmed?
Furthermore, where did he get the strength to drag the person back all the way?
You've only been learning boxing from Gu Changqing for a few days and you're already this good? Did you awaken some hidden talent?
Gu Jiao voiced her doubts, and Xiao Jingkong thought about it seriously for a moment, then decided to answer honestly: "The little chicken monkey also taught me martial arts!"
"Little, chicken, monkey?" Gu Jiao was dumbfounded.
...
After treating Mr. Meng's injuries, Gu Jiao settled him in the small study.
Then she went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of vegetarian foie gras steamed egg for Xiao Jingkong, and also made him a bowl of vegetable noodles, which Xiao Jingkong ate with great relish.
"Jiaojiao's cooking is so delicious!"
Unlike my awful brother-in-law, who found the food terribly unpalatable!
It's really not easy for him to survive with his wicked brother-in-law, sob sob.
I'm such a poor little thing!
After Xiao Jingkong had eaten and drunk his fill, Master Lu took him to take a fragrant hot bath.
During this time, Master Lu tried to get information out of him by asking how he came to the State of Yan, but the clever man didn't say a word.
After taking a bath, he hugged his small pillow and lay down on Gu Jiao's bed with a satisfied look on his face. He rolled around and around until he kicked his legs on the third roll and fell asleep.
He was exhausted that night, and he was snoring loudly.
It wasn't the hottest time of day in Shengdu, and there was still a slight chill in the air at night. Gu Jiao went inside and draped a thin blanket over Xiao Jingkong's stomach.
"Who brought you here?" Gu Jiao muttered.
"Jiaojiao." Madam Nan called out softly to Gu Jiao from the doorway.
Gu Jiao lowered the curtain, walked over quietly, and asked, "Master Nan, what's wrong?"
Nan Shi Niang handed a small, damp brocade pouch to Gu Jiao: "I found this when I was washing Xiao Jing Kong's clothes. It was sewn into a lining. You can't see it at first glance, but once you put it in water, the dye inside the pouch spread out."
Gu Jiao took the brocade pouch, which was dyed in various colors, squeezed it, and said, "There's something inside."
She opened the brocade pouch, and a folded piece of kraft paper fell out.
The parchment was then unfolded to reveal a note, on which was clearly written in the Yan script—
“My young page has gone missing. Whoever finds him, please take him to Linglong Pavilion of Canglan Women’s Academy. A generous reward will be given.”
The devil is always one step ahead of the saint. 23333
Your brother-in-law is still your brother-in-law!
