The leader's strong man

When the two went out the next day, the sky had just turned pale.

Shuigou Village was not too close to the county seat, and Gu Jiuyuan was too weak to travel long distances, so the two of them entered the city in a villager's ox cart.

Today is the market day, and there are many villagers entering the city, and an ox cart is full of people.

Gu Jiuyuan sat on the side of the rear of the car near the fender, and Guan Yan sat beside him. Even so, they couldn't stop the curious eyes of the villagers.

The villagers were curious and did not dare to look at it presumptuously.

The young man sat there quietly, dignified and distant, quite different from them, the whole car was afraid of disturbing him, so he consciously lowered his voice when speaking.

Guan Yan let go of his heart a little bit.

He has seen the scene of the nobles going out, surrounded by BMW cars and servants, but now they are walking slowly on the dirt road in an ox cart, and the uncles and aunts in the same car bring chickens and ducks raised by their own grain to sell in the city. The smell lingered around, he was afraid that Gu Jiuyuan would not get used to it.

Fortunately, Gu Jiuyuan's face was calm, his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to mind.

Sensing Guan Yan's gaze, Gu Jiuyuan turned to look at him.

Facing his dark eyes, Guan Yan coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "If you're still sleepy, squint next to me for a while, and I'll call you when you arrive."

In the early morning, the slightly cool wind blew across the treetops, brushed over the green leaves, and blew slowly, mixed with the smell of grass dew, which made people feel refreshed. He didn't feel sleepy at all, but Guan Yan even opened his mouth...

Gu Jiuyuan took off the bamboo hat, approached Guan Yan as he said, and put half of his body weight on it.

Guan Yan also said casually.Because of his physical problems, he wasn't used to getting too close to people, so when Gu Jiuyuan came close to him, his muscles immediately tensed up, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Sensing the stiffness of the man's body, Gu Jiuyuan lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the morning glories slowly blooming on both sides of the dirt road facing the morning sun, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Amidst the rattling and shaking of the bullock cart, Gu Jiuyuan, who was still weak, relaxed his whole body, his mind became more and more blurred, and he squinted his eyes and fell asleep.

The young man shook his head, suddenly tilted his body, and fell forward, Guan Yan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly reached out his hand to grab him over.

Falling into an embrace full of masculinity, Gu Jiuyuan woke up in a flash, but found that he was next to Guan Yan's solid chest. He closed his eyes and rubbed it fascinatedly, moved his body, adjusted his posture, and buried himself in Guan Yan's arms middle.

The familiar breath was reassuring, Gu Jiuyuan continued to sleep, leaving only Guan Yan whose eyes were flickering with a tense face, his arms were weak to protect him from falling.

Seeing the two of them like this, the villagers exchanged a "good relationship" look.

The bullock cart walked slowly for more than half an hour, and when he could see the gate of the city from a distance, Guan Yan couldn't wait to pat Gu Jiuyuan on the shoulder to wake him up.

Gu Jiuyuan smiled sleepily at him, that soft and pure smile, and the unrestrained attachment in his eyes made Guan Yan palpitate.

Guan Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he wanted to distance himself from Gu Jiuyuan indiscriminately, but the bullock cart was full of people, and there was nowhere to move.

Gu Jiuyuan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and sat up straight.Guan Yan let out a sigh of relief and reminded him to put on his hat.The inconspicuous blush on Guan Yan's face slowly faded away after the overly outstanding face in his sight was blocked.

Gu Jiuyuan raised his eyes and looked around.

Before coming here, Guan Yan had told him that he was going to the county town of Hongtong County, which governs Shuigou Village. Moss mottled.

Two yamen servants in purple robes arrogantly stopped the passers-by entering the city. It seemed that they were doing a routine inspection, but they took advantage of the inspection to charge for entering the city.

The bamboo hat was gently pressed down, and Guan Yan's slightly serious voice sounded next to his ear: "Don't look up later."

Gu Jiuyuan didn't understand why, but he still lowered his head obediently.

When it was their turn to enter the city, the yamen servant shouted, "Where did you come from? What are you doing in the city?"

This obviously asked the question knowingly, but everyone dared not speak up, and Uncle Zhang, who was driving the car, smiled and handed over the fee for going to the city: "My lord, we are all from Shuigou Village, and we are going to the city to go to the market!"

While checking the amount of copper coins, the yamen servant said casually: "Recently, there have been a lot of people from the rivers and lakes causing disturbances in the surrounding area, and my lord ordered me to pay attention. Have you seen any suspicious people with swords?"

The villagers looked at each other in blank dismay.They have only heard about the deeds of those knights in the rivers and lakes from the storytellers. They know that most of the people in the rivers and lakes are unrestrained and have great skills.But their area in Hongdong County is not rich, and they can't get into the eyes of those high-level people. There are no people from the world to hang around here, and they have no chance to see the demeanor of the high-level people!

Uncle Zhang laughed dryly: "My lord, we are all honest farmers who deal with soil and crops all day long, why..."

Satisfied with putting the copper coins in his pocket, the yamen servant interrupted him: "Okay, you look like quails and can't ask a fart, let's go!"

"Thank you, sir!" Uncle Zhang hurriedly thanked him, and with a flick of his whip, he drove the ox cart into the city.

The bullock cart stopped beside an old banyan tree near the gate of the city, and the villagers who got off the cart picked up their things and hurried to the West Market.

Gu Jiuyuan turned his head and looked at the city gate from afar, the two yamen servants were still charging.

Seeing the doubts in his eyes, Guan Yan explained in a low voice: "The magistrate of the county does not do anything, and the servants below are corrupt. There are servants guarding the gate of the city every day, and everyone who enters the city has to pay three Wen, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter. .”

Gu Jiuyuan understood.Seeing Guan Yan's complexion, the man frowned and his eyes were a little cold, obviously dissatisfied with the yamen servants' oppression of the people.

Think about it, three pennies are not too much, even if the people have complaints, they can bear it.But one person has three coins, ten people thirty, and one hundred people is three hundred. Today is the market day, and people from nearby villages have entered the city one after another, at least hundreds or even thousands of people!

Pulling Guan Yan's sleeves, Gu Jiuyuan pointed to the villagers who had gone away. Guan Yan softened his expression and said, "They went to the West Market to set up a stall."

The county seat is divided into east and west cities.Ordinary people live in West Market, and they would drag their families to the streets every market day.Villagers from all over the country gathered on the street to sell vegetables and grains, chickens and ducks, pickled vegetables and duck eggs, and fish and shrimps caught in the river.In addition, there are food sellers, rouge gouache sellers, and performers. The whole street is full of shouts for shopping, bargaining, and children's laughter. It is very lively.

Guan Yan pulled Gu Jiuyuan to walk in the opposite direction.He is going to Dongshi to sell medicinal materials.

Compared with the west market, most of the people living in the east market are wealthy households, and restaurants, inns, silver houses, bookstores, etc. are all concentrated in the east market.

A medical clinic that Guan Yan often goes to is called Cixin Medical Clinic. The doctors and staff of the medical clinic are all familiar with Guan Yan.Guan Yan has been selling the medicinal herbs dug in the mountains to

In the Compassionate Medical Center, the herbal medicines he dried are very good, and the shopkeeper is willing to accept his goods, and the price he gives is also very fair.After going back and forth, both buyers and sellers are very satisfied, and the transaction has been maintained.

After paying the bill, Dr. Liu of the medical center patted Guan Yan on the shoulder: "Guan Yan, what did you think about what I told you last time? The Li family doesn't say they are rich.

She can be regarded as a rich and noble family. Although his daughter is stupid, her appearance is pretty good, and she seems to be very fertile!If you agree to marry, this Li family will be yours in the future! "

Marriage?Gu Jiuyuan, who was standing silently beside Guan Yan wearing a bamboo hat, suddenly raised his head.

Just now when Gu Jiuyuan and Guan Yan came in together, Dr. Liu thought he was from the same village as Guan Yan, so he didn't pay attention to him.At this moment, Gu Jiuyuan raised his head abruptly, and Dr. Liu glanced at him. This glance made his pupils shrink suddenly, and he couldn't say what he wanted to continue persuading Guan Yan.

Although this young man has not fully grown, he already has an excellent complexion. It is not difficult to imagine how he will be the best in the world when he grows up.

He can be regarded as someone who has seen the world, but he has never seen such a soul-stirringly beautiful person.

Dr. Liu swallowed, and swallowed the words back to his stomach: "Guan Yan, who is this?"

"My cousin, Xiao Jiu."

"Hehe..." Doctor Liu laughed dryly, looking at Guan Yan with complicated eyes.

He knew about Guan Yan's family background. Those who moved to Shuigou Village from other places had no relatives and no relatives. Both parents died. Where did they get a cousin?

After a while, Dr. Liu sighed, lowered his voice and said to Guan Yan earnestly: "Guan Yan, the combination of yin and yang is the right way. You are not too young, you should marry a wife and have children. The master and wife of the Li family are kind and kind. Daughter, I am afraid that my daughter will have nothing to rely on when I get old, so I want to find a steady, down-to-earth son-in-law. You happen to be away from your parents, and you have good conduct, so I told you about this. Don't be misled by male sex... "

Before Gu Jiuyuan could figure out what was going on, he saw a suspicious blush on Guan Yan's handsome face, and he hurriedly interrupted the doctor's words: "Doctor Liu, he and I are not what you think! This child is just staying here temporarily." my home!"

The man was too excited and his voice was a little higher, Gu Jiuyuan listened to it.

He looked straight at Guan Yan, his red lips pursed into a straight line.

To Guan Yan, he was just a child living in his house temporarily?

... This is indeed the case, but Gu Jiuyuan felt very uncomfortable when these words came out of Guan Yan's mouth.

He didn't want to draw a line with Guan Yan.

Guan Yan's embarrassment did not seem to be a lie, Doctor Liu's expression softened, and he said: "There are many people who are greedy for the Li family, you might as well think about it again, after this village, there will be no such shop!"
