Chapter 22

The simple man showed embarrassment, as if seeing something, Gu Xi swallowed what he was about to say, she didn't answer the topic, but looked at the weather, and explained the meeting time tomorrow, and said goodbye to Zhou Han.

Until she walked away, Zhou Han was still looking straight at her figure, with a serious but funny look!
Gu Xi went to the corner to take off his disguise first, and went to the pharmacy with money, and when he came out, he was already short of five hundred coins!
Thinking about today's results, she gradually showed a smile on her face. A total of 55 pills of the two types of elixirs were sold today, totaling 520 yuan. It took [-] yuan to eat steamed buns at noon. I just bought the medicine for the dermatitis patient After spending a hundred wen, I bought several kinds of herbs that I needed and spent another four hundred wen, leaving a total of [-] wen.

She also asked at the pharmacy just now that a set of silver needles cost only [-] renminbi, so she almost bought a set, but thinking about her own predicament, she gritted her teeth and dismissed the idea!Now she's better off selling the elixir temporarily, and when the funds are sufficient and the family is settled, she will treat the disease with acupuncture and moxibustion!
After thinking about it, she went to the street market to buy some food, including steamed stuffed buns, rice noodles, and a few kinds of vegetables and meat by the way. Afterwards, it only cost [-] Wen, and Gu Xi thought to save these for later. The cost of medical treatment for parents!

Putting the bought bags into the space, Gu Xi covered the black cloth again and returned empty-handed, because the smile on her face never fell when she thought that her family would have enough to eat, but at this moment she could not have imagined that the When I am no longer, my family is in dire straits!

Feeling better, even the footsteps are much lighter. Originally, it only took three quarters of an hour to come, but this time the return journey was a little earlier.

Gu Xi was in a good mood thinking about how she would tell her parents about the source of her pair of things later, but when she looked up at the door of the house, she saw a scene that made her instantly nervous!I don’t know when the door of my house was surrounded by people. From the appearance of their clothes, they should all be from this village, and the people from the Gu family were surrounded in the middle. Just as Guxi was about to further observe what happened, they saw a scene The scene that made her face instantly turn cold!

A man in his forties suddenly pushed Gu's father hard, and Gu's mother, who was already frail, was pushed back five or six steps like a disabled old man, and finally fell heavily to the ground, even though there was still a certain distance between them. In the distance, the small "click" sound still reached her ears, and her complexion changed in an instant, and she rushed away the next moment.

The ground irradiated by the sun was as hard as a rock, how could Father Gu's body accept such strong contact?
When Gu Xi pushed away the group of people and came forward to check, Father Gu had already fainted from the pain, and Mother Gu was so anxious that she burst into tears!Suddenly seeing her daughter coming to her side, she didn't bother to ask her when she would come back...but when she remembered something, her complexion suddenly changed, and she tightly grabbed her daughter's arm!
"Xi'er, hurry... go find your sister-in-law, she ran away in anger, mother is worried..."

When Gu Xi looked up, what she saw was Gu Mu's slightly panicked expression. Judging from her nervousness, it was not that simple for Lu Xiang to 'run away'!
Suppressing the worries in her heart, she glanced at the people with unkind faces around her, and asked Gu Mu in a low voice, "Mother, who are they?"

"They..." Just as Gu Mu spoke, she was interrupted by a sharp voice.

"Boss, this is the baby girl you picked up. The girl who came out every year for a few years is actually fair!" The speaker was a woman in her 40s, her head was wrapped in a cloth towel, revealing a pie-like face. Looking at Gu Xi's fair face with those small eyes, those eyes with ulterior motives do not need to be guessed to know that they are paying attention to something bad!

However, Gu Xi noticed that this woman was standing with the man who just pushed Father Gu, and when the woman spoke, the man looked at Gu Xi very cooperatively. Seeing this scene, Gu Xi lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes!

The woman obviously hasn't been addicted yet, she paused for a while, and looked at Gu Mu with small eyes, "I said sister-in-law, I heard that the Li family wants you, their adopted daughter, to be their third son-in-law." , Didn’t you just claim that you have no money to pay back the rice? Isn’t this money right in front of you! If you can trust me, I’ll go tell the Li family to ask for more money, and when you pay back the money, there will be extra money to subsidize the family, isn’t it the best of both worlds? ?”

Gu Xi was stunned to hear her call Gu Mu as 'sister-in-law'. This woman who brought people from the house to collect debts turned out to be her nominal aunt and his father's sister-in-law?

Now looking at the man who just pushed Father Gu, no matter how you look at it, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Father Gu's, Gu Xi's heart suddenly freezes, he thought it was the same village who had nothing to do with him, but now it seems that his family took the lead!

She turned her head to look at Gu Mu, because Gu Mu was angry at what the woman said, but it was true that she owed money and rice, so she couldn't refute it!

As if feeling her daughter's gaze, Mother Gu showed a trace of guilt towards her, Gu Xi suddenly felt a pain in her heart, "Mother..."

"Mother is here to deal with it, Xi'er, hurry up and find your sister-in-law, it's been a while..." Mother Gu smiled at her daughter, urging her to leave quickly.

Gu Xi looked down at Father Gu who was still in a coma, and finally nodded with difficulty.She flattened Father Gu's injured arm, carefully told Mother Gu not to move Father Gu's arm until she came back, and finally looked at dozens of people around, and left quickly!Shili Village is a place with a relatively open plan. The layered hillside bends like a beautiful landscape, and the neat houses located at the foot of the mountain show the quaint atmosphere of the village to the fullest.Located at the entrance of the jungle on the west side of the main road, the winding path leads down to a clear deep pool. On weekdays, almost all the villagers wash their clothes in this deep pool. The water in the pool is as clear and deep as ever!
In order to reassure her mother, Gu Xi walked onto the main road and looked around to find her sister-in-law. However, under the bright sun, there was no one at all except the weeds standing quietly by the roadside. Khan, I want to give up and worry about my sister-in-law's safety, so I have to persevere!
Going down the main road is the center of Shili Village. Gu Xi finds it ironic that she hasn't set foot here these days, but now she is forced to come here to find her family.

Just as Gu Xi was looking around, a scream came from the west side, and the extremely frightening scream ran through the entire village in an instant. Gu Xi only heard a female voice at the tip of his ear, but a faint thought in his heart was urging Follow her, go!go!
She didn't know why, she pressed down her heart that was beating fiercely, and she was already running away the next moment.

The scream was not far from where Guxi was, and she ran over sweating profusely. The first thing she saw was a deep, calm pool. Turning her gaze to the side, she saw a woman who had fallen to the ground. , she didn't know about Gu Xi's arrival, she just stared at the pool in a daze, as if she just saw something terrible, her eyes widened!

Gu Xi then looked towards the deep pool, but didn't see anything. Just as he was wondering, he heard the woman who was standing there suddenly screaming again like a nightmare, "Help! Come on! Someone is diving, help..."

diving! ?
Gu Xi's complexion paled instantly!The woman's screams shook her heart like a drum. Facing the incoherent woman, she didn't have time to appease her, and the next moment she ran straight to the deep pool...

There was a loud 'plop', and a slender figure entered the calm water, causing big waves. The panicked woman clearly saw this scene, as if she was frightened, and forgot to scream. shout...

When the water calmed down again, the woman suddenly yelled and left, as if she could still hear the frightened cry from a distance, "He's dead! Come on!..."

Gu Xi was thankful that she had learned to swim, and she gradually got used to the darkness that filled the pool when she just got out of the pool. She closed her lips tightly to hold her breath, and opened her eyes to search around.The water in the deep pool is very clear, it looks light green with some light blue from the outside, but it is pitch black underwater, and as time goes by, the underwater pressure is getting bigger and bigger!

The area of ​​the simply deep pool is not big, and Guxi went back and forth several times to breathe, and finally saw a figure at the bottom of the pool, she swam over immediately, stretched out her hand to lift him up, but found that the other party's hands and feet were stiff, and she dared not delay any longer , Immediately encircle the whole person and forcefully go upstream...

During this period, even Gu Xi herself didn't realize that a comatose adult was dragged to the edge of the deep pool effortlessly by her, wiped off the remaining water drops on her face, and glanced at Lu Lu, whose complexion was already as white as paper. Xiang, hurry up and take first aid measures!

After several times of pressing, Lu Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the bulging stomach was gradually spit out from his mouth under the regular pressure of Gu Xi's fingers. Perhaps the suffocation was gone, and Lu Xiang became conscious and opened his eyes. Open your eyes, and when you see the sister-in-law covered in water, you suddenly burst into tears!Gu Xi was relieved. Based on her experience, if the person who wanted to die was rescued and did not seek death again, it meant that she had given up the idea of ​​seeking death. Now let her cry and cry out all her grievances. Maybe she can see it for herself. opened!
Lu Xiang's cry came from the heart, full of despair and pain, Gu Xi let her cry until her eyes turned red and her voice changed, before she patted her on the shoulder and helped her up!
It may be that she just "died" once, and the sister-in-law beside her became Lu Xiang's most trusted person for the time being. She stood by the water in a wet shirt, staring blankly at Gu Xi, as if she didn't know what to do. The eyes that always smiled at Gu Xi also became out of focus!

Gu Xi sighed, stepped forward to hold her hand without saying anything!
There was a sound of messy footsteps, and a group of people came back and forth in the distance. Gu Xi heard the sound and looked, and saw that the woman walking in front was the woman who ran away screaming just now. The woman led the crowd to this side While walking, he pointed to the deep pool and said something, but when he saw the two figures standing by the pool, he immediately screamed and hid in the crowd!Apparently she saw Gu Xi and the two, but thought they were already dead!
Gu Xi thought that these should be the woman who called to save people. Thinking about it, there are still some kind-hearted people in Shili Village who were about to step forward to speak, but a sharp voice from the other party seemed to speak first!

"Lu Xiang, you don't care about your chastity and have an affair with others, and you have lost your womanhood. The village hasn't discussed how to deal with you. Now you are looking for death, but you still care about the reputation of Shili Village?"

The grey-haired old man strode over to criticize Lu Xiang righteously, and when he approached and saw Lu Xiang's clothes were soaked, he turned his eyes away and said in a cold voice, "...you are a woman, you are disheveled, look The rumors are indeed true, we dare not tolerate people like you in Shili Village!"

It took the other party sharp to say these words in an instant, so that Gu Xi hadn't digested what he meant by "losing a woman's virtue" in his words!The vulnerable sister-in-law beside her almost fell down!
She quickly raised her sister-in-law's arm and looked at the group of people with a frown. Even though there were some things she didn't know for the time being, she could be sure that the group of people didn't come to save people with good intentions. She could see from the old man's eyes that he wished Lu Lu Xiang didn't seem to be rescued!
As soon as this idea appeared, Gu Xi became angry!

"Who are you?" Gu Xi looked up at the old man, and instead of waiting for an answer, he said sharply, "Since they are all rumors, without any evidence, you have had an affair one by one, and lost a wife one by one. De, is my sister-in-law disregarding her reputation, or are you arbitrarily making decisions?"

The clanging sound stunned everyone. After Gu Xi said something, everyone seemed to see her. The old man stared at her for a few seconds, and then frowned with displeasure on his face, "You call Lu Xiang a sister-in-law. She is also a member of the Gu family! Lu Xiang’s affair with outsiders was witnessed by other people, I said it was a rumor just to save her some face, if your child doesn’t understand these things, don’t intervene with everyone!”

The implication is to accuse Gu Xi of not knowing the rules and interrupting randomly!
