"What about you, where will you sleep tonight?" Li Yu asked

Gu San pointed to the pillar behind Li Yu, "There"

"In that case, let's go to sleep." After speaking, Li Yu closed his clothes and lay down, covering his body with the coat that Gu San gave him. At this moment, the wound on his arm started to hurt, but he didn't make a sound. With his eyes closed, the moonlight shone in through the broken windows and just fell on Gu San's face. This person's facial features seemed to look better when viewed statically, giving people a sense of tranquility

"Brother Gu San, are you asleep?"

Seeing that Gu San didn't respond to him, Li Yu got up and walked in front of Gu San, lightly put the coat on Gu San's body and walked out alone. He wanted to see if there was any lake nearby. He needs to clean the wound, otherwise the wound on his arm will be easily infected overnight. He is not the kind of person who drags his weak body to death and bites his teeth hard. People who do that are extremely stupid. other people

Walking outside, the woods here are quite dense. It seems that there is not a single family on the way just now, but there is a temple in this place. It seems that the age of this temple may be quite long.

After not walking far, Li Yu saw a lake in front of him. He hurried forward to take off his outer shirt, took off the clothes on his left shoulder, pulled out his arm, and squatted by the lake to carefully wash his clothes. The wound came. After cleaning, he suddenly saw fish in the water by the moonlight. He couldn't help but feel a little hungry, so he rolled up his trouser legs and went into the water to catch fish. He has a lot of kung fu, so catching fish with bare hands is a must for him. It was as easy as flipping one's palm, and he caught two fish in a short while, the wound was cleaned, and the fish was caught, so he was ready to go back to roast and eat with satisfaction.

Walking on the road with the two fish in his hand, he thought of what happened along the way. Li Yu felt that the assassination this time was not that simple. He is making trouble, but Gu San is obviously not simple, he is not an ordinary son, he laughed when he thought about it, but he wants to see what these people want to do

Li Yu, who returned to the ruined temple, started to light a fire and grill the fish. He was grilling the fish to himself, completely oblivious to the fact that Gu San was already awake at this time.

"What are you doing?" Gu San stood behind him at some point

"Grilled fish!" Li Yu turned the fish over. "It happened that you woke up. I woke up hungry just now, so I went outside to find if there was anything to eat. I saw a lake in front of me, and I caught fish in it. Two, let's eat together."

Hearing that Gu San was not polite, he lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down

"Let me help you" as he said, he wanted to take the stick with the fish stuck in it from Li Yu's hand

"No, you just sit and wait to eat." Li Yu refused, "Thank you for saving me today and for taking me with you. Grill a piece of fish for you."

Gu San glanced at Li Yu, "How is your injury?"

"Small problem, it's nothing for people like us who walk the rivers and lakes to get stabbed." Li Yu began to talk nonsense in a serious manner

"Really? Brother Zihuan, you don't look like a person who walks the rivers and lakes, but rather like a son of a family."

"Young masters of the family can also walk the rivers and lakes, there is no way, who made me not be favored by my father since I was a child, so I had to come out early to make a living."

Gu San didn't know which of his words were true and which was not, so he simply stopped talking.

After a while, the fish will be grilled. "Here, the fish is ready, here." After Li Yu handed the grilled fish to Gu San, he gnawed it on his own.

The two finished the grilled fish silently, and after they were full, they planned to go to rest separately. There was no communication during this time. In fact, Li Yu wanted to say a few more words. He wanted to see him for a serious person like Gu San. When I couldn't stretch myself, I had no choice but to toss and toss for so long, and I was injured, I was really sleepy, so I went to bed early

The next morning, Li Yu was woken up by the smoke. When he opened his eyes, he saw Gu San fiddling with something. There was smoke all around him. Li Yu thought he was drowning and immediately jumped up to put out the fire.

"You're up!" Gu San ran into the temple, and when he saw Li Yu was about to go out, he stopped him, "Don't go"

"Third brother, what are you doing?" Li Yu asked in confusion.

"I got up in the morning and looked for some wild vegetables. I was going to cook and eat them, but I didn't expect the fire to make such a big smoke."

Hey, Li Yu began to suspect that he had heard it wrong, "Let me do it, you wait" and ran out to check the situation. This man lit the wet wood on fire, no wonder there was such a big smoke. After the root of wet wood was drawn out, the smoke was obviously smaller, and the pot of wild vegetables was also burnt

"You still have a way, Brother Zihuan." Gu San scratched his head, cooking is really not suitable for him, "Otherwise, let's go on our way first, it should be not far from the market, we will go to eat when we arrive at the market."

Looking at the burnt pot of wild vegetables, Li Yu nodded, "Third brother is right. It seems that third brother, you are more suitable for fighting, not for cooking. I will take care of the kitchen from now on."

"Brother Zihuan is right"

The two of them had no luggage, so they packed up casually and set off.

It's spring now, and the road along the way is in line with the image of the revival of all things. The flowers and grass are very dense. When I get up early in the morning and smell the fragrance of flowers, I feel refreshed.

Soon the two came to the market, but before they had time to find a restaurant, they suddenly found that as soon as they entered the city, the common people cast strange glances at them

"Could it be that we look so good-looking?" Li Yu asked in confusion

"I see, we have to buy a horse first when we get to the market."

"Why? Third brother doesn't want to ride a horse with me?"

Asked knowingly, but Gu San didn't say that

"Brother Zihuan, you don't need to think too much, but I think the eyes of the people in this city should come from us two big men riding the same horse and acting like..." Gu San hesitated to speak.

The current situation is really a bit delicate. Along the way, Li Yu said that his wound started to hurt again in order to deceive Gu San's sympathy. Seeing that Gu San was indifferent, he simply leaned back on Gu San's body and couldn't get up. The back is only so big, Gu San really has no way to hide, no way to avoid

"How are you doing? Are you too close? Oh! The third brother is afraid that they will gossip." Li Yu still had a look of sudden realization.

Hearing this, Gu San wished he could be thrown off the horse. He clearly knew that he was ashamed to speak out, but he still said it outright. Although Bianliang was prevalent in Longyang, he had never had any contact with him. Looking at it from the eyes of animals, it is really uncomfortable, so no matter what, this horse must be bought

Although the city is not considered prosperous, there are quite a few peddlers hawking everywhere. Gu San didn't have time to find something to eat, so he got off his horse and saw a puppet mask seller, so he asked where the horses were sold.

"Brother, it looks like you are from other places." The little trader brother looked very knowledgeable, "We did have horse traders before, but because we are close to Mao'an, there have been few outsiders since the outbreak of the plague. , those horse dealers have already moved to other places, otherwise, even the people with the horses will starve to death.”

"Then does any of you have a horse at home?" Gu San asked unwillingly

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help laughing, "Third brother, don't make things difficult for my little brother. If you don't want to ride a horse with me, then Zihuan will hold the reins for you."

The peddler brother thought for a while and said, "There are horses, but it's hard to say whether they will be willing to give them to you."

"Appreciate further details"

"You go 500 meters and there is a Xiao's house. Their family is in the cloth and silk business, and they go to other places to buy goods every year, so they always have horses and carriages at home. It's just that their family is not short of money, so you are not rich. I will definitely be willing to sell it to you."

"Okay, thank you." After saying that, Gu San took the rein and was about to leave

"Brother Gu San, why don't you go to find that Xiao's mansion right now?" Li Yu touched his growling stomach and said, "We haven't had breakfast yet, can you show some sympathy for me, a patient, and enjoy my meal?" "

Gu San was so anxious to find the horse that he forgot about it, thinking that Li Yu was still injured, he nodded, "Then find a restaurant nearby to eat, and then go find the horse after eating."

Walking into a restaurant named Yue Lai Xiang, the two found a seat and sat down. After greeting Xiao Er and ordering food, Li Yu looked around. Although this restaurant is small, the business is good. It seems The taste is not bad either. At this time, the conversation of the people at the next table attracted his attention.

"Hey, have you heard? I heard that the wife of Xiao's mansion seems to be suffering from some kind of illness. Didn't she bring her maids to buy all the big and small things in their mansion before, but recently? There is no sign of her. I have a little friendship with Ade, the servant in their house. Last time I asked him, he told me that Mrs. Xiao has been locked in her room recently, and that everyone in the house is like Mr. Xiao. Keeping people away from her bedroom, he sneaked a peek once and found that Mrs. Xiao was tied up on the bed, and her mouth was gagged with a cotton cloth. That scene was terrifying."

Hearing someone say that, someone at the next table immediately spoke up.

"Don't tell me, I heard people say that Mrs. Xiao might have been infected by that plague too."

Hearing someone say that, others immediately exploded, "Nonsense, this plague is in Changsu and Mao'an, and there is no case on our side. How could Mrs. Xiao be infected?"

"Hey, who knows, isn't Mrs. Xiao's mother's home in Mao'an? Who knows, did he get the infection when he went back to visit his mother?"

"Impossible. If she was really infected with those officers and soldiers, she would be allowed to leave the city. She would have been arrested a long time ago."

Hearing this, Li Yu probably understood something. At this time, Xiao Er happened to be serving food, and this Xiao Er was also a master who couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Guest officer, you look like foreigners, what are you doing here?"

"Visiting relatives" Li Yu wanted to find out something from Xiao Er's mouth, so he took his words, "By the way, Xiao Er, what happened to that Mrs. Xiao they just talked about over there?"
