Gu Yizheng grabbed the dagger and sheathed it.""You don't know what's good for you."
Su Su smiled coldly and tilted her head to look at Gu Yizheng, her cold gaze sweeping over.""Why don't I break your legs too? Let's see if you can still be polite to me.”
"Your leg won't recover for half a month. Stay by my side for this half a month. Don't think about scheming.”Gu Yizheng looked up at Su Su and took out a cloth to wipe the cold knife she carried with her. The cold blade light reflected his equally cold, pitch-black pupils, leaving only the loneliness of thin snow.
Su Su pursed her lips and was about to lift her skirt when a pair of cold hands stopped her. She glanced at Gu Yizheng, who looked at her hand coldly. Suddenly, he turned his head and said,""As expected, you have no manners. You casually lift your skirt in front of a man.”
Feudal!
Su Su frowned and said unhappily," Do you know shame just because your hand is on mine?"”
After a pause, Gu Yizheng threw Su Su's hand aside like a hot potato.""Do not touch."
Su Su suddenly laughed and tilted her head to look at Gu Yizheng.""You're really strange. After coming out of Thunder Castle, you were kind to me. Why are you so cold now? It's said that a woman's heart is a needle in the sea. Could it be that you also have a glazed woman's heart?”
Su Su looked up at Gu Yizheng, who had suddenly stood up. She shrugged and lifted her skirt without minding. When he touched the black cloth tied to his leg, he smiled."I was wondering why you didn't let me lift my dress. So, the shameless thing is just an excuse for you to be shy.”
"Shut up. I'm just afraid that if you die, you'll attract some wild beasts in the wilderness.”He paused when he reached the entrance of the cave and tilted his head slightly. His cold voice revealed his awkward state of mind. Su Su was too lazy to talk to him. She carefully put down her pants and stood there alone in a daze.
She had long left a backup plan for the Dragon Scale in Thunder Castle, just in case. Now that the 'what if' had appeared, it was time for Tan Mo to show his usefulness. Lü Nong had told him to find Long Lin. This person was from the Xuanxu Left Cult. The Xuanxu Left Cult was proficient in assassination intelligence, while the Right Cult was from the Punishment Hall and the Jianghu. It could be said that one was the Dark Sect and the other was the Ming Sect. This was very similar to the Misty Shadow Mountain Manor, but the whereabouts of the hidden manor of the Misty Shadow Mountain Manor were unknown.
She sent Leng Fei away because of her own selfish motives, but she lied to Tan Mo because of the dragon scales. Tan Mo had the Great Ravager in his hands, and the dragon scale and the Great Ravager were both made from the same meteorite. Therefore, Tan Mo could be considered to have some connection with the dragon scale. He might have a better chance of finding it.
"If it hurts, shout." Gu Yizheng's sudden appearance startled Su Su, but before she could say anything, she felt a sharp pain in her left leg. Biting her lower lip, Su Su tugged at the hem of her clothes and watched as Gu Yizheng held two wooden sticks to stabilize her injured calf.
"Can't you be gentler?!"
Su Su finally regained her strength and shouted in a rough voice. Her forehead was covered in sweat from the pain. Gu Yizheng slapped away the wood shavings and said lightly,""You don't know what's good for you."
"You were the one who broke my legs, and now you dare to say that I don't know what's good for me?”Su Su tried to stand up, but the pain in her calf was even more excruciating. He sucked in a cold breath and looked at Gu Yizheng, but the culprit turned around and set up a fire.
"If you love yourself, why would I break your legs?”
Self-love…Su Su placed one hand on the stone wall and picked up the sword beside her to support herself. He looked at the entrance of the cave that had already been sprinkled with the morning light. The leaves were plated with a faint golden color by the morning sun, and it was very beautiful. Su Su lifted her hand from the stone wall and tucked the hair on her face behind her ear.""What is self-love? If Young Master Gu knew that I had intimate contact with General Pei once, wouldn't I be in a pig cage?”
"What did you say?"
He looked at her back. The fire rack that he had just set up had been destroyed by his mistake, and the wooden sticks scattered all over the ground. His pale, thin back was indifferent, unlike his indifference. Gu Yizheng walked to her side and tilted her head to look at her fair and beautiful side profile. Her voice was cold and sinister."Say it again."
Supporting herself with her sword, Su Su leaned over and smiled. An indifferent and gentle smile spread across the corners of his lips, and a cold voice sounded in his ear,""I said that I had intimate contact with Pei Siyuan. Wasn't this even more disrespectful? Is Young Master Gu going to kill me?"
Gu Yizheng suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes."What does it have to do with me whether you have anything to do with anyone? As long as you think that you can gain anything by scheming, I won't get involved even if you end up as a brothel girl.”
"Looks like I was overthinking it.”Su Su looked into Gu Yizheng's eyes and said lightly.
The conversation between the two ended there. Gu Yizheng did not say a word to Su Su from morning until sunset, until Su Su's body became hotter and hotter, but she kept shivering.
Looking at Su Su, who was curled up into a ball, Gu Yizheng placed her hand on her forehead, which was frighteningly hot.""You have internal injuries, a cold, and a broken leg. It would be strange if you don't have a fever.”Gu Yizheng muttered to herself as she looked at Su Su, whose face was burning red. She sighed helplessly and hugged her by the waist.
The sound of porcelain shattering stopped Gu Yizheng in her tracks. He turned to look at the white jade hairpin that had been broken into two halves on the ground. The first half was carved with a lifelike white lily of the valley. It looked like a young girl who was about to bloom. She bent down and put away the hairpin that had been broken in half. She looked at Su Su in her arms and said,""I'm just helping you keep it. I'll return it to you when you wake up.”
After carrying Su Su for a few miles, he saw her face getting redder and redder, and her cheeks were frighteningly hot. After frowning for a long time, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and saw a flickering flame.
He knocked on the wooden door three times out of habit. A woman's careful voice came from inside,"Who is it?"
"I'm staying here…I'm…My wife is infected with typhoid fever. This place is too far from the town and I'm afraid that my wife can't take it.”
The sound of the old door opening revealed a woman with an ordinary face. She was dressed in coarse linen clothes and held a lampstand in her hand. The woman looked Gu Yizheng up and down for a while and saw a weak woman in white in his arms. Her face was unnaturally red from typhoid fever. The woman immediately opened the door and said with a smile,"It's fine, it's fine. Young Master's wife is seriously ill, come in quickly!”
Gu Yizheng looked down at Su Su. Old Man Xu raised his head and followed the woman into the courtyard.""Sorry for disturbing you. When my wife recovers, I will definitely thank sister-in-law.”
When the woman heard Gu Yizheng's words, she tilted her head and smiled.""Look at what you're saying. I'm just giving young noble a place to stay. I don't know how to take care of people. When young noble called me young miss just now, this old woman was very happy.”
Gu Yizheng didn't respond to the woman's nagging and just looked around. It could be said that the courtyard house was a little poor. On the left was a small but animal-like chicken coop, and on the right was a small vegetable field with some home-cooked radishes.
"Why did it take so long to open the door? I heard you nagging about what came…?”A dark-skinned middle-aged man walked out of the thatched cottage. Halfway through his sentence, he met Gu Yizheng's gaze and paused. After a long while, he used the pipe to cover his back and said with a silly smile,""So there really is a guest, and it's a young master and young miss of your family.”
The woman smiled and led Gu Yizheng into the inner hall. She said somewhat embarrassedly,""It's a little vulgar. You people who are used to living in big houses might not be used to it. That was my husband just now. He doesn't have much knowledge. Don't mind if his words aren't pleasant to the ear!”、
"It's fine. We're the ones who disturbed you.”Gu Yizheng followed the woman into a side room. The woman used the candlestick in her hand to light the oil lamp in the room."This room was originally for my son to live in. A few days ago, the government recruited him to be a able-bodied man. Now that it's empty, you guys can make do with it. The bedding and everything else were newly bought by us at the end of the year, so it's still quite warm.”
"Thank you." After gently laying Su Su flat on the bed, Gu Yizheng nodded at the woman, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, and handed it to the woman.
"Ai, I naturally won't refuse this silver. If you have anything you want to eat, feel free to call me.”The woman smiled and held the silver ingot in her hand. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were filled with peace and happiness.
" I'll have to trouble Mrs. Zhang to boil some hot water. I want to…wipe Madam's body…" She turned her head away unnaturally. The dim candlelight flickered from time to time, hiding the awkwardness on Gu Yizheng's face. Mrs. Zhang agreed and went out. Before she left, she closed the door reasonably, as if she was tacitly agreeing to Gu Yizheng's shyness.
"You…you sure know how to talk…who's your wife?”
A weak and unsteady voice came from the bed. Su Su struggled to open her eyes and look at the man standing not far from the bed. Because of the high fever, she could only see blurry shadows in her eyes, and her temples were also in pain.
"It's fine if you don't say that. I'm just afraid that you'll lose your reputation and blame it on me.”Gu Yizheng glanced at the woman on the bed and her pupils constricted slightly when she felt the cold sweat on her forehead.
Looking down at her, Gu Yizheng frowned and placed the back of her hand on her forehead. She asked in confusion,""Why is it so cold?"
Su Su looked up at the man in front of her. He had a handsome and tough face and dark, cold eyes. Her consciousness gradually faded. When she regained consciousness, she seemed to see a man in white. His thin lips were curled into a casual smile, and his eyes were always flashing with frivolity and scheming.
"Pei Siyuan."
"What…"
Her doubts were buried in her lingering emotions. She clung to his neck, her pale and slightly cool lips twirling against his tightly pursed pale lips. He couldn't resist her stubbornness and let go of her mouth slightly. What he got was her presumptuous invasion. He looked at the woman who was immersed in the illusion with a calm and dead gaze. He raised his hand and stroked the back of her head without batting an eyelid. After deepening this unknown intimacy, he moved his hand to her neck before she sank into it and pressed it gently…
Looking at the woman in her arms, her white and black robes tangled together, Gu Yizheng lightly caressed her pale face. Her voice did not soften as if everything that had just happened was really just an illusion."Trapped by love, it's hard to achieve great things."
