Chapter 179 The lackey arrives
Gu Xixi followed Shitou to the front yard and asked, "Where is Master Liu?"
Stone pointed forward and said, "Just wait outside the gate."
"Grandma Zhang invited him in for some tea, but he said he had to go back to prepare for class, so we didn't bother him. He just met with Sister Xixi to let her know and then left."
In the front yard, He Jinglan was tired from playing, and she and An Qinghe looked out the door curiously.
Seeing Gu Xixi coming over, An Qinghe said admiringly, "Xixi, you have a very high reputation in this village."
"Even the new teacher has to greet you first."
"I hope I can be like you one day at the Seedling Chamber of Commerce."
Gu Xixi broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, someone just sent his lackeys to come to my house, what is there to admire? !
She came out from the old doctor, regained her composure, and had roughly figured out something.
Today's Northwest has been turned into an iron barrel by Huo Jiang and Mu Nanzhao.
He was able to enter Huachidu Village in a high-profile manner with "Chen Fang's handwriting", become a teacher in a high-profile manner, and still live to this day.
It can only be someone who has a close relationship with Mu Nanzhao.
He came to the house in the evening, and specifically called himself "Mr. Chen", perhaps to convey something.
Gu Xixi glanced at He Jinglan.
He Jinglan immediately understood, "Shi Tou, didn't you say there was a kaleidoscope that was particularly beautiful?"
"Can you lend it to me to play with?"
Shitou nodded blankly, "Sister Jinglan wants to play, of course we can."
He Jinglan took Shitou's hand and walked towards the main room, "Then teach me how to play."
She also dragged An Qinghe away, "You come too."
An Qinghe tried to protest, "Hey, it's too dark, and I still have to accompany Xixi!"
He Jinglan said as she walked, "There's no danger at the door of my house."
She glared at An Qinghe again and threatened in a low voice, "Xixi doesn't like men who are too clingy."
"Especially when we're talking about serious matters, it has nothing to do with you. It's so annoying to have you around."
An Qinghe was stunned. It seemed to make sense.
He let He Jinglan drag him away thoughtfully...
Gu Xixi stepped out of the door.
The man holding the lantern outside the door was facing her yard, looking thoughtfully at something.
The man was wearing a half-new indigo robe. Although his facial features were ordinary, his elegant temperament could not be ignored.
There was a hint of weathering between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked not young anymore, at least around forty years old.
Gu Xixi also turned around and looked at her home. "Master Liu? What are you looking at? You look so engrossed."
Master Liu turned his eyes to Gu Xixi and smiled gently, "Boss Gu has many relatives and friends at home, it's so lively, it's enviable."
Gu Xixi smiled.
Knowing that Master Liu was Mu Nanzhao's man, even the title of Master Liu was fake.
Naturally, she wouldn't have a very good attitude.
"When the village school was first built, our family did contribute to it. It's reasonable for you to say hello to me."
"You have seen me, and there is no one else around. If he wants you to tell him something, just tell him."
Master Liu was slightly stunned, and then his smile deepened.
"It is just as Mr. Chen said. Boss Gu is a heroine."
Gu Xixi said, "I'm just a farmer in the village, don't flatter me."
She spoke bluntly, and Master Liu looked somewhat helpless.
He looked around cautiously and said, "In a month at most, the war with Beili will be over."
"It might be chaotic outside for a while soon after this."
"Specifically... I'm sorry, I don't know the details, so I can't elaborate."
Gu Xixi nodded, "Then what else do you know? What does he want me to do?"
Master Liu said, "Stock up more food and supplies for the family before the end of the month. After the border war is over, the whole family should try to reduce travel."
"Although the northwest will be the safest place in the future. Things outside are unlikely to affect our village."
"But there is no guarantee that there will be loopholes after the chaos."
"But you don't have to worry too much. I brought some people with me when I entered the village just in case."
Gu Xixi immediately looked around.
Master Liu smiled and said, "They are all scattered and hidden. Some are in other villages nearby. You can't see them now."
Gu Xixi was really puzzled by the existence of ancient shadow guards and didn't want to waste her brainpower on it.
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Master Liu fiercely.
"Then he will stand out in the open and let the world, and those who harmed him in the first place, know that he is not dead and he is coming back, right?"
Master Liu's eyes flickered. "As far as I know, if everything goes well..."
Gu Xixi laughed in anger, "Okay, I was wondering why he sent someone to protect me."
"His enemies know that he is not dead, so it should be easy for them to find out where he has been hiding for the past year."
"Those people couldn't catch him, and they didn't dare to touch the people of the Mu family."
"Then I, a poor tool who spent a penny, will inevitably be mistaken for having a close relationship with him."
She raised her red lips and smiled like a flower, "Master Liu, do you think that my whole family will be captured as hostages, or will I be killed directly to vent my anger?"
Master Liu didn't dare to look directly at Gu Xixi, "Boss Gu, this is the situation."
"Please believe that if anything unexpected happens, we will do our best to protect your entire family and leave."
Gu Xixi controlled her voice and said, "Leave? So everything I did here is in vain just because of his simple words? Why?!"
She was filled with anger and powerlessness.
It was like this when Mu Nanzhao left her the banknote before, and it is still like this now.
Here, the circumstances of ordinary people can be manipulated at will by the upper-class powerful people at the flick of a finger.
Gu Xixi's own destiny has not yet escaped Mu Nanzhao's control.
Gu Xixi gradually calmed down. She looked at Master Liu and said, "I know you are just delivering a message. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me."
Master Liu sighed, "I understand."
"But Boss Gu is so smart. He should understand that the world today needs great chaos before it can be governed."
Gu Xixi said, "I never said that the path he chose was wrong."
"I just hate that I can't be independent all the time."
Before leaving, Gu Xixi asked one more question, "If I became a hostage, would he save me at all costs?"
Master Liu looked embarrassed, "I can't really say for sure."
Gu Xixi smiled, "You are a good and honest person."
Gu Xixi planned not to tell anyone else about this heavy news for the time being.
Anyway, think optimistically. The sky may fall, but it may not actually fall.
Gu Xixi returned to the backyard.
The old doctor had already made the pills and filled a full box.
"I'll give it to them when I get a chance."
Gu Xixi responded, walked over and said, "Master, calm down. Don't hold back if I have to hit you or scold you."
The old doctor sighed and said, "Forget it. Human life is at stake. We have to make decisions based on urgency."
"Tell me what happened first."
