Gu Chao, the reborn little brother

When Chu Ming said that he gave 100 taels of silver, everyone looked in disbelief. This is a whole 100 taels of silver, and he is just an ordinary hunter. Can he give so much money?

Others don't believe it, but Gu Chao believes in Chu Ming. Since this man can say this, there must be his way to get the money.

Supporting his weak body, Chu Ming asked Gu Cheng to take him to the Fujia Bank in Wenshui Town. The servants in the bank are all sharp-eyed and shrewd people. Although Chu Ming didn't come here many times, the servants still recognized him. It's the brawny man who saves money with a pile of broken silver every time.

Chu Ming successfully took 100 taels of silver, and immediately went back to Huichun Hall.

"Treasurer, this is one hundred silver, you count it, if it is correct, let Doctor Lin take medicine."

Here, Chu Ming put a heavy bag of silver into the hands of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, while the shopkeeper of the pharmacy over there asked the boy to take wild ginseng and send it to Dr. Lin.

Dr. Lin took out the utensils, cut four thin slices from the root of wild ginseng, pinched Gu Huai's mouth open, and pressed one thin slice under his tongue.

During this period, Gu Chao has been holding onto Gu Huai's hand tightly, never letting go.

"This ginseng piece, change one piece every two hours." Dr. Lin instructed Gu Chaodao, he stroked his beard, was silent for a while, and then said to Gu Chao: "Do your best and obey the destiny. Do you understand?"

Gu Chao nodded with red eyes.

How could he not understand? I have used all available methods, Xiao Huai, you have to work hard and wake up quickly.

What happened in Gu's Village today, Gu Cheng still needs to rush back overnight to deal with the aftermath, so he can only entrust the injured Chu Ming, the unconscious Gu Huai, and Gu Chao who stayed behind to take care of them all to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy let them into the backyard of Huichun Hall and arranged a clean room for them to rest.

Gu Huai's small body was covered with a thick quilt, lying flat, breathing shallowly, very lightly, just like when he was usually asleep.

Gu Chao reached out and stroked his pale cheeks, "When my brother slept with Xiao Huai before, he would hug Xiao Huai tightly, because Xiao Huai's body is so hot, when my brother hugged you, he hugged you tightly. Like a warm stove, my brother won’t feel cold even in winter.”

Gu Huai's body temperature has always been higher than that of ordinary people, but right now, he doesn't even have the temperature of ordinary people.

Gu Chao rubbed his hands to warm them up, reached into the quilt, and rubbed Gu Huai's hands, legs, and stomach one by one...

"Xiao Huai likes to eat the food made by my brother the most. As long as Xiao Huai can wake up, my brother will make a lot of delicious food for Xiao Huai to eat."

Chu Ming was lying on another bed in the room, his body was still weak, his eyelids were drooping heavily, and Gu Chao was muttering to himself, his hands under the quilt couldn't help but be pulled tightly.

If he could protect Gu Huai better, Gu Chao wouldn't be so sad.

In the dark night, both of them had their own thoughts and prayed that when the sun rose tomorrow, they hoped to bring good news.

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

Gu Chao only felt his shoulders sink, and his whole body trembled, as if he had fallen to the bottom of the valley in the dark, and he hurriedly opened his eyes in horror.

His eyes were dry, astringent, and swollen badly. When he first opened his eyes, his vision was a little blurry, and Chu Ming's resolute facial features were reflected in the haze.

As he got up, the quilt on his shoulders slipped off, was he covering him?

It turned out that at some point, Gu Chao just fell asleep beside Gu Huai's bed.

"Woke you up?" Chu Ming asked softly.

"No." Gu Chao shook his head. It was because he was worried about Gu Huai, and he had been sleeping lightly. He looked out the window, and there was already a faint light outside. A new day had begun, and he looked carefully again. After looking at Gu Huai again, it was still the same as last night, with very slight breathing sound, slightly cooler body temperature, sleeping very peacefully, motionless.

Gu Chao's heart was mixed with joy and sorrow. Compared with yesterday, his heart seemed to be much more stable today. His throat was very dry. Before he got out of bed to pour water, Chu Ming had already handed the teacup to him.

Chu Ming was wearing clothes temporarily lent to him by the boy in the pharmacy. The clothes seemed too small for the tall Chu Ming. He hadn't buttoned up his clothes, and the front of his clothes was open. Gu Chao could see his exposed white bandages at a glance. .

"Are you feeling better?" Gu Chao held a teacup, filled with warm tea. He didn't know when Chu Ming got the hot water. He took a sip, moistened his throat, and whispered to Chu Ming.

"After sleeping, I feel much better." Chu Ming's complexion was still not good, but it was indeed much better than yesterday when he even spoke softly.

"Yesterday, thank you." Gu Chao raised his delicate face. He was already fair-skinned, but he fell down unexpectedly all day yesterday. Today, his complexion is even worse than that of the patient Chu Ming.

Gu Chao didn't deliberately remember how many times he had said thank you to Chu Ming, but no matter which time, it was not as heavy as this time. What Chu Ming saved was not only Gu Huai's life, but also his life.

But what Chu Ming wanted to hear was never thank you. Seeing the sad look on Gu Chao's face, his heart was heavy.

Gu Chao suddenly felt a black shadow flash in front of his eyes, and a force pushed him forward from behind his shoulders, his face was pressed against Chu Ming's chest, the warm body temperature, the heaving and falling of his chest, he can be clearly felt.

"Brother Chao, it's okay, everything will be fine." Following Chu Ming's words, his chest hummed and vibrated.

Chu Ming's voice was low and steady, and it hit Gu Chao's heart heavily, his heart tightened, and his eyes felt sour.

Gu Chao put his arms around Chu Ming's waist, buried his face completely in his chest, and couldn't see a gleam of light outside. He seemed to have found a complete safe haven, as if sadness and tears had found an exit from a broken embankment. , gushing out at once.

Gu Chao just whimpered softly at first, and then wept slightly and turned into howls. He also cried yesterday, but that kind of crying was quiet and silent. Today, he is crying like a child who doesn’t understand the world. It's a backlog for too long, and I have to vent everything.

Chu Ming also wrapped his arms around Gu Chao's shoulders and hugged him firmly in front of him. His tears and cries must all be hidden in his chest.

Gu Chao cried for a long time, so that the tears disappeared, his voice became hoarse, his nose was red, he was hiccupping, his thin shoulders shrugged, Chu Ming looked distressed, and poured a cup Give him water and keep patting him on the back.

After a long delay, Gu Chao regained his composure and asked Chu Ming about the one hundred silver.

The 100 taels of silver were Chu Ming's entire savings in recent years.

Gu Chao was surprised, he couldn't see that Chu Ming's income was so rich.Chu Ming said that he sold the tiger he hunted down the mountain for 50 taels of silver, and usually gave game to various restaurants, and the income was quite good. Buy something, and other than that, there's no cost.

After a few years, I have saved so much without knowing it. It is really unexpected that Chu Ming is still an invisible rich man.

"The 100 taels of silver, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible." Gu Chaohong said with eyes wide open.

Chu Ming didn't say a word, but just listened quietly. In his heart, he naturally didn't want Gu Chao to pay back the money. Compared to paying back the money, he wanted to...

"elder brother……"

A faint voice came from behind the two of them, Gu Chao's pupils opened slightly, and a bright light flashed in his dark eyes, with surprise and joy, even his pale face became radiant.

"Chu Ming, I wasn't hallucinating just now, right?" Gu Chao was jumping with joy, but he was also afraid that this was just an illusory bubble.

Chu Ming was equally excited, but he really heard the call of brother.

"elder brother……"

Gu Huai, who was in a coma, murmured again as if to confirm that the two of them did not experience auditory hallucinations.

On this day, instead of yesterday's gloom and depression, it was unexpectedly good weather with bright sunshine.The rising sun hung high in the morning, and the warm light slanted into the house from the outside, making it bright.

Gu Huai fell into a deep sleep after the two weak "brothers". Dr. Lin checked him inside and out. His body has begun to return to normal, and his body temperature has gradually risen.

But Gu Huai hadn't woken up yet, and the stone hanging in Gu Chao's heart still couldn't be put down. He still stuffed ginseng slices into Gu Huai's mouth after a while, and stayed by Gu Huai's side for a moment, waiting for him. Wake up early.

One evening two days later, near sunset, each family lit a stove, prepared meals, and waited for the time for people who returned home to eat together.

Gu Huai slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother... I'm hungry." Gu Huai's voice was very soft, his slightly chapped lips opened and closed slowly.

"Okay, brother, I'll cook something delicious for you."

Gu Chao grasped Gu Huai's hand, his eyes were reddish and moist with moisture.

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

After Gu Huai woke up, Gu Chao was still worried and stayed in Huichun Hall for another five days.

Like the sunshine after the haze, Gu Huai recovered very quickly, she could get out of bed on the third day, and she was back to her freedom of movement on the fifth day.

After paying off the medical bills, Gu Chao took Gu Huai with him, and the two finally returned to their home in Gu's Village.

Although it's only been five days, but seeing the familiar doors, familiar tables and chairs again, I feel very kind in my heart.

Following Gu Chao's return to Gu's Village, the two families on the other side of the village also set their eyes on Gu Chao's family.Those two families were Chu Ming's uncles, Gu Dashan and Gu Dachuan.

A few days ago, the story of Chu Ming spending hundreds of taels of silver to buy medicine for Gu Huai in the Huichun Hall had already spread back to Gujia Village. Gu Dashan and Gu Dachuan had always been greedy for money, even embezzling their nephew's house and property If you can do it all, what else can you not do.

Who would have thought that Chu Ming, whom none of them wanted to adopt ten years ago, would be so rich that he could afford 100 taels, no wonder he couldn’t starve to death, no wonder that cunning old man Gu Ning would be willing to adopt him, it seems that the kid’s A lot of money.

Gu Dashan and Gu Dachuan had dark thoughts in their hearts for a long time.

100 taels of silver is enough to keep the little boy's first card for a month, and he can play whatever he wants.

Seeing Qian's eyes open, the two hit it off.

Not long after Gu Chao returned to Gujia Village, Gu Dashan and Gu Dachuan approached the door.

"The young master of Gu An's family is called Gu Chao, right?" Gu Dashan has a fat body, and his face is like this. The fat on his face squeezes his eyes into a thin slit.

"Yes." Gu Chao pushed Gu Huai behind him, and told him to go back to the house. He felt the unkindness of Gu Dashan and Gu Dachuan.

"I heard that our family, Chu Ming, lent you 100 taels?" Gu Dashan asked again.

Although Gu Chao didn't know when Chu Ming became a member of Gu Dashan's family, he still nodded honestly.

"Hmph, it's good to admit it. It's only natural to pay back the debt." Gu Dashan squinted at Gu Chao contemptuously.

"That's right, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Of course you have to pay back the money you owe." Gu Dachuan on the side also helped.

"Chu Ming promised me that I can pay it back in installments."

"Hehe, in installments, how many installments, how to calculate the interest? Baby, this is a whole 100 taels of silver."

"How much silver do you earn in a month? You probably won't be able to exchange 100 taels for the rest of your life! How much silver do you have in your family? Give us all of it first."

"Our family, Chu Ming, hasn't married a husband yet. As an uncle, of course I will help him secure the money and save it for him. It will be used when he marries a husband in the future."

"That's right! Chu Ming has lost his parents since he was a child. If we uncles don't help him, who else will help him?"

Gu Dashan and Gu Dachuan sang together, so blocked that Gu Chao couldn't even find a chance to intervene.

Gu Chao naturally understood that what these two people said was not what Chu Ming meant. If Chu Ming was really reluctant to part with the 100 taels of silver, he would not have given it out so generously back then.

But these two are still Chu Ming's uncles in name after all, so they can't directly break the skin with them.

Gu Chao was thinking about how to deal with it when a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the fence.

"Chu Ming, you are here. The uncles are asking for money for you. When the uncles get the money for you, they will definitely save it for you and save it for you to marry a husband in the future." Gu Dashan's face He smiled flatteringly, as if he was very satisfied with the excuse he had found.

Chu Ming walked into the small courtyard of Gu Chao's house, stood between Gu Chao and Gu Dashan, and separated the people on both sides, "Uncle, I don't need you to worry about my husband's marriage."

Chu Ming was no longer the helpless child who hadn't grown up ten years ago. He stood in front of Gu Dashan, half a head taller than him, with his face slumped tightly.

"Chu Ming, why did you talk to my uncle? Marrying a husband is a big deal, how can I do it without my uncle's help?" Gu Dashan was a little startled with Chu Ming's cold face, but he kept a smile on his face.

"Chu Ming, the uncles are all for your own good. Why are you so disobedient?" Seeing that the situation was not right, Gu Dachuan also said, as if Chu Ming was a close child raised by them alone.

"I've already made up my mind about marrying my husband." Chu Ming said, turned around, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Gu Chao with burning eyes.

Gu Chao was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him, and felt a burst of warmth on his face.

"Are you willing to accept the 100 taels as my betrothal gift for you?" Chu Ming finally uttered the words that had been hidden in his heart all this time.

Gu Chao's eyes trembled slightly, with Chu Ming's sincere eyebrows imprinted in them, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

He nodded vigorously.

┄┅┄┅┄┅┄┅┄

Thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen's house.

Inside the deep house built with carved railings and jade, you enter along the nine-curved corridor, with rockery and flowing water in early spring on both sides, full of greenery and beautiful scenery.But those who walked quickly on the corridor had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Lu Jiuzhi walked in the front, followed by four or five servants wearing the same dark blue gown.A rare panic appeared on Lu Jiuzhi's clear face.

"Why did you tell me such a big thing now!" Lu Jiuzhi looked stern, his temples were covered with the wind and frost of the night, and he never stopped. He walked forward quickly and scolded the servants behind him.

"Lu...Young Master Lu, the Eldest Young Master won't let the younger one inform you." One of the older servants replied timidly.

"You bastard, what did I tell you when I left? If there is anything unusual about your young master, you must notify me immediately!" Lu Jiuzhi's cold eyes stared at the group of servants, his face that was originally jade like spring breeze There was a layer of frost on the ground, and everyone was so frightened that they dared not speak. They could only lower their heads and follow behind Lu Jiuzhi, walking forward non-stop.

Walk through the corridor, pass through an arch, and pass through a bamboo forest before arriving at a small building.

Lu Jiuzhi stopped in front of the door, tidied up his messy clothes because he was full of progress, and then raised his head, the anger just now was hidden on his face, and gently pushed open the door.

When you open the door and enter, you will be greeted by three large bookcases filled with all kinds of books, which are carefully collected by the owner.

As soon as he opened the door, Lu Jiuzhi smelled a strong smell of medicine, and his black eyebrows tightened involuntarily.He strode into the side hall of the study, and on a soft couch, lay a young boy with a handsome face, unhealthy pale complexion, and no rosy lips.

Looking at the young man with a sick face, Lu Jiuzhi frowned even tighter.

"I've only been out for ten days, how did you fall into the tricks of those villains!" Lu Jiuzhi stood in front of the soft couch, looking up and down at the young man, worried that there was some injury that he couldn't see from the surface.

When the young man on the couch saw him, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he put down the book in his hand, "Jiuzhi, did you enjoy going out this time? Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"How could it be all right! The one you hit this time can be fatal. If it weren't for the Resurrection Pill I gave you, your little life might have been taken back by Yama King long ago." Lu Jiuzhi threw it away angrily. Pushing his sleeves, he lowered his angry voice, even if he got angry again, he couldn't bear to vent his anger on this young man.

"Over the years, have I been poisoned less often? This time is the same, it's okay." The young man comforted the distraught Lu Jiuzhi in a young voice, as if thinking of something, the smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter, "I am more powerful than King Yama." The mighty Jiu Zhizai, he won't be able to take my life away."

That smile, like wintersweet in the cold wind, is the treasure that Lu Jiuzhi wants to take care of but can't keep.

"You can still laugh." Lu Jiuzhi's anger gradually dissipated under the young man's joke.

"Jiuzhi, I received your letter." Lu Jiuzhi received the news of the boy's poisoning in the middle of his return, so he abandoned the water route and changed to the land route. The letter he wrote obviously arrived earlier than him.

"En." Lu Jiuzhi responded, and glanced at the coffee table next to the young man. There was a dark concoction on it. He picked it up, and it was still warm.

"Jiuzhi, I really want to meet the person you mentioned, to see that place."

"With your body, you still want to go out, don't dream, take good care of your body first."

"Jiuzhi, I will take care of myself. You have to trust me."

Looking at the sick and pale young man on the soft couch, Lu Jiuzhi pursed his lips, "You never said that, but you always slipped your tongue."

"I won't do it this time. I will definitely chop, weed, weed, and root." The young man's white face flashed a killing intent that had never been seen before, and it was a hostility that did not match his age.

However, Lu Jiuzhi was not surprised by the boy's face change. Holding the medicine bowl, he fed the black medicine juice into the boy's mouth spoon by spoon, and said in a low voice, "I told you to do this a long time ago."

"Jiuzhi, the medicine is so bitter."

"That must be drunk, too."

"Jiuzhi, it's great to know you."

……

"Jiuzhi, when I get better, I want to meet that person. Can you take me there? I want to see if that person is really exactly like me."

"When you recover, no matter what you want to do, I will always be with you."
