Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 348

The shopkeeper waved his hands again and again, but in the middle of speaking, he looked at the proprietress next to him with surprise in his eyes, "Ma'am, are we on the second floor today?"

Hearing this, the proprietress raised her head and looked at him in surprise. Before she could speak, she shook her head spontaneously, "No, I thought you invited me up. There are very few visitors in the restaurant today. The seats are not enough, how could it be possible to open the second floor, besides, until now, except for the four nobles, there has never been any famous family come to open the private room, why..."

The proprietress was full of doubts in the middle of speaking, turned to look at Xiao Zhuang, and asked him awkwardly, "Zhuang Zhuang, have you ever led any old lady to the private room on the second floor today?"

Xiao Zhuang shook his head in confusion, "No, Xiao Zhuang has been sitting at the door all day, and he hasn't seen any old ladies or old men, only young brothers and sisters."

Hearing this, Lin Yan rolled her eyes and looked around.

It is true that there are only four or five people sitting here and there. Judging from the business situation, there are no distinguished guests coming. It is indeed impossible for anyone to enter the second floor. Moreover, the guests look young. After all, they can climb Old people on the cliff are indeed rare.

Besides, the proprietress of the shopkeeper has said so, there must be no fakes, even if there are customers who walk up to the second floor by themselves, they always have to order, right?
"Sister Xiaobai, do you remember wrongly?"

Lin Yan looked at it, then turned to ask her suspiciously.

"……how is this possible?"

Gu Erbai listened to their ironclad words, and his face was a little funny, but the corners of his mouth were a little stiff.

Impossible, she clearly saw the old woman upstairs at that time, and smiled at her.

The most important thing is... They also made a bet outside, the conversation from beginning to end was more real than Pearl, and she saw her walk into the tavern with her own eyes, this is the only tavern nearby, right?How could there be no such person now?
Seeing her serious face, Lin Yan didn't seem to be joking, so she turned around and asked the common people, "Have any of you seen an old lady come in?"

Gu Erbai added again and again, "She walks with a limp, and she moves very loudly, without a cane."

When everyone heard the words, they fell into inexplicable discussion and silence for a while, and finally shook their heads, expressing in confusion that no one had seen it.

"No, no, I see it clearly."

When Gu Erbai was stammering, he raised his head and looked at the second floor, imagining the scene when the old lady lowered her head and smiled at her.

The old man is haggard, over eighty years old, her hair is not gray, but slightly brownish-yellow, but her skin is almost twisted together, like... a tree that is on the verge of falling.

Thinking of this, suddenly a gust of cold air flowed from the soles of her feet, making her little hands cold and her chest panic-stricken.

Gu Yiqing felt the trembling of the small hand in the palm, and the color of his deep eyes changed instantly.

Chu Weiyu quickly stepped forward, pointing to forcefully seal Gu Erbai's acupuncture points.

Gu Erbai was frozen in place, the panic on his face was frozen vividly, the heart in his chest was beating wildly, as if he was about to fly out.

It was a kind of panic, a kind of powerlessness like losing something so important, even she herself didn't know why she had this emotion.

There is also inexplicable anger, this kind of anger is actually due to the person around him - Uncle Qing.

Gu Yiqing let go of her hand, and stretched out his hand to probe her forehead, temples, chin, neck veins, and underarms, but she didn't feel any abnormalities, except for a fast heartbeat.

The two men looked at each other, and began to suspect that something had gone wrong.

Chu Weiyu quickly untied her acupoints, Gu Erbai was taken aback for a moment, took a long breath, and before he could speak, Gu Yiqing firmly pressed her shoulders with both hands, pulling her with his deep eyes, The voice was deep and powerful, as if deliberately focusing her attention, "Xiaobai, look at me, is there anything else you didn't tell me just now?"

"I……"

Gu Erbai looked at him in some confusion, and an inexplicable feeling of disgust arose in her heart, which made her feel unbelievable.

No one controlled her thoughts, she was normal, but for some reason, she really wanted to push him away and let him get away.

"Lin Yan..."

Gu Erbai took a step back, trying to hide behind Lin Yan, but Gu Yiqing's grip was too tight for her to escape.

Lin Yan was stunned, this was the first time that little sister Xiaobai called her name.

"Don't make too much fuss. Sister Xiaobai said that she saw it, and it must be true. Maybe...a thief has entered."

Lin Yan guessed, Xiao Zhuang raised his head and said in a milky voice, "But Sister Bai said it was an old lady, how could it be a thief?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, "Maybe...you don't know that thieves are very smart now, and they may turn into old ladies, making people lower their guard and vigilance."

Chu Weiyu nodded, "My concubine Ai's words are reasonable, Brother Qing might as well go up and have a look."

"it is good."

After a while, Gu Yiqing replied in a low voice, he knew that it was no longer the old lady's business.

He saw avoidance, fear, and even disgust in Xiaobai's eyes just now.

The man held Gu Erbai tightly in his arms, and let her dodge tremblingly. His pressing force would only be stronger, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Gu Erbai couldn't break free, and a cold feeling spread from the bottom of her heart. She knew that she was shaking not because of fear, but because of sadness, but she couldn't figure out why she was sad.

It seems to be sad... I am now in this man's arms.

Self-blame, guilt, endless shame, madness hit her, hitting her heart like waves, and at the peak, she heard her own voice, "Things that admit a thief as a husband..."

Gu Erbai's scalp was numb and her whole body was trembling. She stopped and could hardly walk.

"Xiaobai, don't be afraid, I'm here."

The man hugged her tightly with his long arms, pressed his hot thin lips against the tip of her hair, kissed her lightly one after another, and slapped her trembling body tightly, his emotions sank to the extreme.

Ten thousand zhang waves rose to the sky, the clouds cleared and the fog scattered and flattened the ground.

Just this sentence, in an instant, all the emotions welling up in Gu Erbai's chest disappeared.

Like nothing ever happened.

"Don't panic, nobleman. Maybe it's just like what your lady said. Maybe someone wants to go to the private room on the second floor to rest. It didn't alarm everyone. Don't panic. Take the nobleman up to have a look."
