Chapter 25 The Highest Price
"Tch...please?" Li Chunxiang didn't take Gu Xi's kind reminder seriously, instead she looked at the family with her hands on her hips as if hearing some joke, "When you leave Shili Village, you will be one of the refugees. Members, are you begging me or I begging you in the future? It’s ridiculous!"

The sharp and piercing laughter made Gu Xi frowned, but she was unmoved but looked at the figure at the door, "What does the village chief think about this?"

I won’t say any more about the rest, but everyone can understand the meaning of those words. To put it bluntly, this house belongs to other people.

Gu Mu is a very simple woman, and now she is going to be checked by someone in front of a group of people, she feels a little unbearable, her fingers clasped the package tightly, and she couldn't help coughing when she got anxious!

Gu Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help her smooth her back, but the face with her back to everyone was dark, she leaned close to Gu Mu's ear, and whispered softly, "Mother, don't worry, let them be arrogant for a while, just wait and see." day……"

Mother Gu only heard the first sentence, but she didn't know if the voice behind was too low. She just felt like a cold wind was blowing by her ears, but when she looked up, she saw her daughter's heartwarming smile.

Simply because Li Chunxiang moved very quickly, the whole family was rudely dragged away when they let go of the package, and the folded clothes were scattered all over the floor. !
"Mother, I'll help Dad!" When the family members were tidying up the messed up clothes, Gu Xi took the initiative to support Gu's father's body and let him lean on her.

Gu Xi's body was already thin and bony due to hunger, but at this moment it was supporting Gu's father who was much heavier than himself. Seeing that his daughter was still holding on and smiling at him, Gu's mother lowered her head and dared not look any more. tears.

Father Gu who was in a coma didn't feel nothing at all. On the contrary, the injury on his arm made him feel nothing. Gu Xi felt the trembling of the person beside him, and he could only comfort him in a low voice, "Father, bear with it first, it's very late." It won't hurt soon!"

I don't know if it's because of Gu Xi's soothing effect, Gu's father's trembling body has calmed down a lot, Gu Xi looked back at the family who had packed up, nodded and smiled at a few people, "Sister-in-law, mother, brother, let's go !"

The slap-sized face is so skinny that there is not much flesh left. He is smiling so tenderly and so beautifully that the whole family is almost distracted. The soft voice seems to be bewitching. The few people watching can't help but nod their heads, waiting for their reactions. , only to realize that he had subconsciously walked a few steps, and they were all surprised!

Before leaving, Gu Xi did not forget to glance at the people around her, her still smiling eyes seemed to remember these people deeply, the expression hidden in her eyes was mysterious, and soon she looked back, and while supporting Father Gu, she did not forget Take a hand and grab the mother of grain!
Seen from a distance, the whole family is closely dependent on each other, and the rays of the setting sun shine on them to form an overlapping figure. This scene seems miserable, but it is full of indescribable warmth!

"Xi'er, are we going to the neighboring village?"

It has been several miles away from Shili Village, and Gu Mu finally couldn't help asking what was in her heart!

Gu Mu originally wanted to spend the night near Shili Village, but she found that her daughter seemed to have an idea and led everyone forward. She remembered that this road could only go into the town other than leading to the neighboring village. Will the family settle in other towns in the future?
Lu Xiang also looked curiously, with a worried look on his face. Gu Qian had been crying for a long time and was tired, but fortunately he was attracted by the surrounding scenery so he didn't make any noise. Although Gu Che was still asleep, he hugged him for a long time. It is inevitable that his arm will be sore after touching him, and she can hardly hold him anymore!

Father Gu has already opened his eyes, he was a little dazed when he saw the unfamiliar scene around him, he wanted to say something but before he could say anything, his throat was itchy, so he covered his mouth and coughed, "Ahem..."

The cough was worse than before, as if he was going to cough up his entire lungs, until a burst of blood filled his throat, he took his wet hand and put it in front of him in a daze, but saw that his palm covered with thick calluses suddenly appeared Bright red!
"Old man!"

"father!"

The whole family exclaimed in unison!That touch of bright red instantly stung the hearts of the whole family, and Gu Mu's eyes went dark, and she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Xi reacted very quickly and hugged her just before she fainted, so that Gu Mu could not fall to the ground. Then he quickly pinched Gu Mu among the people, and Gu Mu woke up faintly!
Gu Mu woke up without saying anything, and kept touching her tears. Lu Xiang wanted to step forward but didn't know how to comfort her. She just hugged the child and bowed her head sadly. Gu Qian stood beside the lady quietly, obediently. The motionless!
Father Gu was able to speak after spitting blood, but there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his lips, which made him look even more haggard, he waved his hand at Mother Gu, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet! "

He said he was about to stand up, but he forgot his injured arm. This movement made him sweat profusely from the pain. Gu Xi hurriedly went over to straighten his hands, and helped him to stand up!
From Gu's mother fainting to helping Gu's father's injured arm, Gu Xi is all subconscious reactions and actions of practicing medicine for many years!Everyone else was immersed in grief and didn't realize this, but Gu's father saw it clearly, he was surprised by his daughter's abnormal state, and he couldn't help saying, "I think Xi'er's pinching gesture is better than that of a wandering doctor in the village." It's even better, and my hand, it really hurt just now, but it doesn't hurt so much after being played by Xi'er!"

Father Gu said these words subconsciously, but his words awakened the dreamer, causing the whole family to look at Gu Xi!

Mother Gu and Lu Xiang had the most obvious reactions, because just today they discovered the difference in their daughter's sister-in-law, such as her calm temperament, her eloquent speech, and her calmness in dealing with things, including the one just shown. Skilled practice of medicine...

Gu Xi also stiffened her body when she heard this sentence, she secretly contemplated for a while so as not to lose her composure, but the expression on her face was a little unnatural!
Feeling the gazes from her body, she paused and finally said, "Father, mother, sister-in-law, I know you have a lot of doubts, but please believe me, I just hope you have a good life! So I When I can prove myself one day, I will tell you whatever you want to know!"

It's not intentional to hide anything, it's just that the family hasn't settled down yet, she doesn't want to say too many flashy words, and another reason is that she believes they will give her trust!
Silent guarantees are floating in the air. At this moment, the surroundings are silent. The silent gaze cast on Gu Xi makes Gu Xi a little nervous. Finally, there is a sigh in the air. Father Gu looks at his daughter with a smile, followed by Mother Gu's eyes full of love !
The silent answer made Gu Xi feel relieved instantly, and a smile appeared on his face!
It's strange to say that she didn't feel the slightest bit of tiredness when she helped Father Gu to walk all the way. Now that she is so light, she feels as if she is going to fly. Although she really wants to see if it is her illusion, but She still held back in front of her family!

Looking back, she wanted to help her sister-in-law to hold her nephew instead, but Lu Xiang felt sorry for her because she was tired and said nothing all the way. In the end, Gu Xi repeatedly showed that she was full of strength, so she let go and let Gu Xi hold the child!

The family had been walking for about half an hour, and seeing another small road leading to the neighboring village being ignored by Gu Xi, the family looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not make a sound in tacit understanding. They had said before that they should trust their daughter, so they ignored her. They will follow wherever they go!

However, this persistence stunned me when I saw the arched building not far away!

A plaque engraved with 'Anyue Town' was hung on the five-meter-wide arched door. The family never thought that the place Guxi took them to was actually the town!

In fact, they had doubts when they walked this road early in the morning, but the cost of the town was too high for poor people like them to imagine, so they ignored it and didn't dare to think about it.

The whole family stopped at the entrance of the town, and only Gu Xi walked forward without looking sideways. Father Gu was about to call to stop her, but Gu Xi's voice came from the front, "Don't worry, just follow me." !"

Even when he was talking, Gu Xi didn't stop, and he walked to the front after a while. Father and mother of Gu only knew that he had never taken his daughter to the town, so she didn't know how she knew this place, for fear that she would leave Wrong place, didn't dare to think too much and hesitated, and then followed, while Lu Xiang looked longingly at the majestic town, and after a few more glances, he pulled Gu Qian, who was also looking left and right, to follow!

This is the first time that Father Gu and Mother Gu have stepped into the town after a long time. Even though the sun has set, there are still many people on the street. Although they are all coming and going in a hurry, they are all neatly dressed. When they appear on the street, there will always be people passing by who will give them a few extra glances!
Although there was no malice in that look, the whole family felt uncomfortable, except that Gu Xi was still walking straight ahead!
Gu Xi can understand the low self-esteem of her parents, but there are some things that cannot be solved in a few words, so she doesn't know what to do!
Gu Xi took her family through a street at the entrance of the town, turned a few more directions, and finally stopped in front of an inn. This was an inn she found when she was wandering around the town after selling Dan in the morning. It seemed that the price was quite cheap. The shape looks good too.

Gu's father and Gu's mother were surprised when they shuttled through the streets of Guxi, and saw her come to the door of an inn and wanted to go in. The impatient Gu's mother immediately stopped her, with an embarrassed look on her face. , "Xi'er, you may not know that this is an inn and you need to collect money, but at home..."

"Mother, don't worry, I have money!" Gu Xi didn't wait for Gu Mu to finish speaking, and took her hand and walked inside.

Father Gu obviously also heard the phrase "I have money" from her, and seeing his daughter and wife had gone in, he followed suit, while Lu Xiang looked at the inn curiously, the curiosity of a girl was undoubtedly exposed!
"...This is two hundred Wen, open those two rooms for me!"

There are always people coming and going in Anyue Town, and there are a lot of vendors coming from all directions. Gu Xi's family was unlucky to catch up, and it happened that there were only the last two rooms left in the inn.

After the shopkeeper reported the house price, Gu Xi handed over two slings of money. The shopkeeper Huan Huanxi was just about to take it, but at this moment a person came out obliquely, and that person blocked Gu Xi arrogantly, shouting Said, "Shopkeeper, I want the last two rooms you mentioned!" The 12-year-old Gu Xi is not tall or even much shorter than the same age. Her gaze left Gu Xi with her broad backs and the smell of sweat!
Gu Xi frowned and took a step back, successfully keeping a distance from the man, but at this moment the position was a little further away from the counter.

The shopkeeper was also stunned by the man who rushed out suddenly. Thinking about giving the room to the family just now, he was about to refuse, but the man didn't give him a chance to speak, and directly threw a silver coin on the counter.
