Chapter 17: Blue-faced men are the root of trouble.
Xiao Cui looked at her wife with a look of regret as
she frightened the young master. She really didn't have any idea about her wife. Gu Changsheng was now in a good mood and enjoyed the tofu pudding. While watching his precious son eating happily, he looked around with great interest. The customers at the tofu pudding stand were frightened by her. When they saw her looking at them, they lowered their heads and turned away as if they were afraid of being charged.
"Tsk!" Gu Changsheng snorted disdainfully. You want to hook up with a handsome man with this little talent? Without a strong heart and a face thicker than a city wall, you are destined to have no chance with a handsome man. He ignored them and continued to glance around.
This glance made her feel happy. She pulled Xiao Cui's sleeve with great interest and pointed to the other side of the road, "Xiao Cui, look at the prostitute across the road. Doesn't she look like you back then?"
Xiao Cui mentioned that this was how she was saved by Old Master Gu.
Xiao Cui stretched her neck to take a look, shook her head, and replied honestly, "No, she sold herself to bury her father, and I buried my mother."
Gu Changsheng was embarrassed for a moment. He didn't expect that Xiao Cui, the housekeeper, had some potential for cold humor.
"Just wait and see, this momentum will definitely attract one or two street bullies or something." Gu Changsheng continued to wait and see, and said very confidently, it was written in the script, and a one-man show was the least likely to happen.
Her words caused Zhou Mu to glance over there, and then lowered his head to continue eating tofu pudding.
"Look, look, the bullies are coming." Gu Changsheng pulled his son over, gave everyone a look that said, "I guess I can predict everything." He pointed to the opposite side and said excitedly, "The show is about to begin."
Sure enough, two scoundrels came to the side of the road, approaching the little figure who sold herself to bury her father with a bad look on their faces.
Xiao Cui looked at him worriedly, and felt sad for the man for a while. She turned to Gu Changsheng and said, "Madam, aren't we going to help?"
"No, no, it's not time yet. The hero is always the last to appear. Only when a hero saves a beautiful girl is it precious." It would be a pity not to watch the live show to the end.
Zhou Mu paused with his hand holding the teacup. He didn't know what he thought of. The corner of his mouth twitched and he lowered his head again.
Gu Changsheng ignored him and was enjoying the show. He even dragged a table of people to watch it together.
Unfortunately, Gu Changsheng only guessed the beginning, not the ending.
It was true that the two ruffians walked over with a bad look on their faces. They stood there for a while and then angrily kicked the corpse on the ground and left!
The ruffians blocked Gu Changsheng's view, so she didn't see the specific situation, but the result was unexpected. What about robbing a woman? What about a hero saving a beautiful girl? Why didn't this hateful ruffian follow the script? It made her feel so embarrassed.
"Let's go and take a look." Gu Changsheng was puzzled, so he stood up and walked across the road.
Xiao Cui hurriedly threw down a few copper coins and followed.
The group came to the poor man who sold himself to bury his father on the opposite side. The little man who felt the shadow raised his head.
"No need to ask, I know why even the ruffians are willing to rob you." Gu Changsheng shook his head and said with a look of regret, "Your appearance is too bad."
Everyone: "..."
Appearance? You think you are selling vegetables!
The person on the ground was as thin as a bean sprout, without a pound of meat on his body, but his eyes were surprisingly big, looking at the person in front of him with hope, "Are you going to buy me back?"
The voice was very nice, light and crisp, but it was obviously lacking in confidence.
"Forget it, just treat it as a good deed, Xiao Cui, give her some money." Gu Changsheng shook his head. She didn't want to raise another little girl. This girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and was severely malnourished. She was not a saint and could not support so many people.
"Yes." Xiao Cui stepped forward and put some silver coins into her arms.
"Forget it, Han Qiu, go to the alley where we just passed by and hire two people to help her bury the body." It was estimated that if she gave her the silver directly, it would be robbed in a blink of an eye. Han Qiu
obeyed the order and ran away. After a while, he led two strong and powerful laborers.
Watching the two laborers carrying the body on the ground and walking out of the city, Gu Changsheng led a group of people to the carriage parked on the side of the road.
"Let's go, it's time to find an inn to stay overnight, Han Qiu and Xiao Cui, we will continue our journey tomorrow. In this long day, you must prepare some dry food for me. The biscuits I brought last time were dry and too hard to eat." Gu Changsheng was very particular about food. Although she could make do with it during special periods, as long as she had the conditions, she would not swallow a single bite of unpalatable food.
In this regard, her views were very similar to Zhou Mu's, but when Zhou Mu was picky about food, she was less confident in scolding him.
"I know, ma'am." Xiao Cui responded and helped Han Mo get on the carriage.
Heyan City is not big, but it is not small either. However, after walking two streets, Gu Changsheng and his party chose a relatively clean inn to stay. They had a comfortable meal. Although it was not very delicious, it was hot after all. Gu Changsheng sent Han Qiu to pack the luggage, and asked Xiao Cui to go to the kitchen to see if there was any delicious and easy-to-store food. He ignored Zhou Mu who stayed in her room for fear that she would sneak away, and lay on the bed to test the homework of the two children.
Han Mo recited haltingly and sometimes forgot something, but the little meat bun recited it by heart.
"Little Mozi, I can see that you don't have this nerve." Gu Changsheng looked at Han Mo who lowered his head in grievance, and hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. There is a saying that a scholar is useless. Just follow me to practice kung fu."
Han Mo raised his head with relief and nodded fiercely. But there was a discordant voice, a sneer that was neither loud nor soft.
Gu Changsheng turned his face away, "What, are you dissatisfied?"
"You call that Kung Fu?" Zhou Mu sneered with disdain on her face, thinking of the scene of her killing that day. There was no set moves or routines to speak of. It was clearly a random fight that hurt the enemy 10 points and herself 5 points.
"Mu boy, I wonder if you have heard of this saying." Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Mu glanced at her coldly and said nothing.
"It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!" Gu Changsheng snorted, what's the point of my kung fu, I can kill people, escape and survive, do you know close combat? Do you know judo and taekwondo? You are really ignorant.
She did kill more than ten people and got away with it. Zhou Mu nodded, rarely agreeing, "You are indeed, a good cat."
Gu Changsheng was about to lose his temper before he could catch his breath, but the door slammed. He paused with his hands on his waist, and heard the voice of the waiter outside the door, "Sir, there is a little girl outside, and they said you just bought her."
When did she buy a girl? Intuitively, she remembered the bean sprouts on the roadside just now, and her eyebrows raised unconsciously, "Go and let her go, I don't plan to add a girl."
The waiter at the door responded and went downstairs "dead dead".
Gu Changsheng sighed. She just happened to encounter all kinds of sufferings in the world and helped as much as she could. But if she really had to take care of everything, could she help?
She was not a god after all!
"Mother, is that the dead sister just now?" The little meat bun raised his head and asked.
Gu Changsheng immediately put away his strange thoughts of compassion for the world, and slapped him with a face full of anger, "How many times have I told you to be specific when you speak, what dead sister, it's the sister next to the dead, she's alive!"
The little meat bun Gu Ze touched the back of his head that was slapped, with a face full of learning, "Oh, mother, is that the sister next to the dead just now?"
Gu Changsheng was helpless with such a well-behaved and obedient son, pinched his chubby little face, and said kindly, "It should be, but my meat bun is getting more and more round, when we get to Liuzhou, mother will perform surgery on you, you will definitely grow into a handsome young man in the future."
No more having to endure the strange eyes of others, no more being regarded as a demon and a scourge.
Although Zhou Mu didn't understand what the surgery meant, but thinking of the scenes he had seen before, it was probably to cut off the extra meat on Gu Ze's neck, but could this kind of anomaly that was born with it really be cut off directly?
Gu Changsheng didn't know what he was thinking. In her eyes, Zhou Mu was a dog-skin plaster and a prison boss. He stared at her closely to prevent her from running away again, and he would find fault with her from time to time.
The key point was that although she always mocked him, she still thought he was pleasing to the eye. This was really unreasonable!
Loving beauty is natural. But if this beauty is the life of a living person, then you have to give it up!
Gu Changsheng glanced at Zhou Mu who was sitting aside reading a book with hatred. The ordinary navy blue silk shirt made him look romantic and suave. Think about the slender figure under the silk shirt, the neat tofu blocks, and the sexy long legs. Is it time to change the medicine for his injury again?
Zhou Mu felt awkward being stared at by her, and raised his eyes from the page of the book. It was really because her eyes were too hot that he couldn't ignore it.
Seeing him look up, Gu Changsheng instantly regained consciousness, raised his hand and gave himself a small slap in the face, I let you be crazy! It would be fine if he was just a simple iceberg handsome man, but he is a complete depth bomb!
"Mother?" The little meat bun raised his head while holding the pen, and looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion. Why does mother always hit herself? Doesn't it hurt?
Zhou Mu also twitched the corner of his mouth, and the coldness on his face almost cracked.
"It's okay." Gu Changsheng patted the little meat bun comfortingly, "Mother's face just cramps intermittently, and she needs to be patted to recover."
Little meat bun Gu Ze nodded with a look of enlightenment, but he didn't know what he realized. Before Gu Changsheng asked, he continued in a positive tone: "Every time mother looks at Uncle Mu, her face will cramp."
Gu Changsheng was embarrassed, and cold sweat ran down...
Son, do we have to expose your mother's old secrets like this? If you do this, how can I, your mother, feel embarrassed?
Of course, the little meat bun didn't know his mother's internal injuries. He lowered his head and continued to practice writing his own name.
Gu Changsheng lowered her head as low as she could, she really didn't dare to look at Zhou Mu, it was so embarrassing! She was caught by her son in the act of desecrating a handsome man, and she said it so directly after being caught. She was too ashamed to face anyone. It was all Zhou Mu's fault, that evildoer, a male beauty who brought disaster upon herself!
Zhou Mu didn't even look at her, his cold eyes drooped, and no one knew what he was thinking.
A weird atmosphere began to spread, making Gu Changsheng wish he could find a hole to crawl into.
"My wife, my wife..." Xiao Cui's anxious voice came from outside the door, making Gu Changsheng feel as if he had been pardoned.
Beauty is like dry bones in the tomb of heroes...
