The leader's strong man

The carriage with a low-key appearance and a luxurious interior was still parked on the dirt road not far from Shuigou Village, and the woman in red who was waiting on the shaft saw a white figure flying towards this side, and hurriedly jumped off and stood up: "Master! "

Gu Jiuyuan nodded slightly and got into the car.

The guardian in black reported: "The house has been set up, and an honest and hardworking woman has been hired to clean and cook. Will the leader want to move in tonight?"

"Yeah." Gu Jiuyuan replied, leaning on the bed and closing his eyes for a nap.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Elder Liu and Yi Hufa looked at each other and then drove the carriage quietly to the newly purchased residence - a second-entry house that was left unused by a wealthy family.The place is small, but the environment is quiet.

It was already evening, and the woman had already made dinner according to Elder Liu's instructions. It was a very common farm dish, including roasted potatoes, fried chicken with mushrooms, fried pork, scallion and egg drop soup.

Gu Jiuyuan stopped chopping chopsticks after eating a bowl of rice.

It's not that the woman's cooking is unpalatable, but Gu Jiuyuan feels that his sense of smell is still stuck on Guan Yan's braised rabbit meat.

Elder Liu muttered in his heart that the leader has never been unable to eat because of one thing. It seems that the leader's trip today was not smooth, but as one of the culprits, she dared not ask.

She didn't ask, and the guardian remained silent, but Gu Jiuyuan glanced at the two of them and said, "Elder Liu."

"Subordinates are here."

"Do you know a... disease?" Gu Jiuyuan tapped the table with a slender finger, carefully choosing the words, "It can cause a person to attack within a certain period of time. Seizures are different, it does not have to meet with human yin and yang, there is no fear of life, and it can be endured by people with great willpower..."

Elder Liu pinched her jaw and thought. The leader's description was closer to a certain kind of poison, so she asked: "Is this person showing any signs of poisoning? My subordinates dare not speak nonsense, and must be checked in person."

Guan Yan was not poisoned, this was diagnosed by Elder Liu himself.But this kind of disease is too general, it is really difficult to judge...

Gu Jiuyuan frowned in thought, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Besides, when the disease occurs, strange flower patterns will appear on the back of the patient, and there will be a strange fragrance floating on the body..."

Will it grow flowers in estrus?Also has its own fragrance?Elder Liu's apricot eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. After carefully asking Gu Jiuyuan's patient if there were any other abnormalities, he said seriously: "This kind of disease has never been heard of by my subordinates! I will report back to the leader after my subordinates have checked the classics!"

At the end, Elder Liu rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "Master, who is suffering from this strange disease?"

What answered her was Gu Jiuyuan's icy gaze.

Elder Liu's heart shuddered, and he laughed dryly: "I have no other intentions, I just want to give someone a pulse..."

Gu Jiuyuan got up without listening to her explanation.

Watching the leader leave, Elder Liu elbowed the black-clothed guardian standing beside him: "What did the leader do all day? Have you talked to Mr. Guan Yan? It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, you said the leader Do you want to celebrate the festival with Mr. Guan Yan?"

The guardian in black took a step back, Elder Liu couldn't stab anyone, looked back, the expressionless guardian met her teasing eyes, and said coldly: "Don't try to guess the mind of the leader, do what the leader tells you That’s it, don’t do unnecessary things.”

"It's boring! Don't you think the leader has changed a lot recently? He doesn't practice martial arts anymore, and he just talks about Mr. Guan Yan?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Elder Liu rolled his eyes in an extremely speechless manner, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, I'll go flip the book!"

Gu Jiuyuan didn't go anywhere else after leaving the house, but turned and went into the kitchen.

The woman was tidying up the kitchen, when she saw such a formidable figure coming in, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak properly.

Gu Jiuyuan scanned around and saw that there were fresh vegetables picked from the field in the vegetable basket, and asked, "What are these vegetables?"

The woman was taken aback, thinking that this nobleman came here specially to experience people's livelihood?Only by rubbing his hands restrainedly did he introduce to Gu Jiuyuan in detail.

Gu Jiuyuan nodded, and raised the kitchen knife in the woman's shocked eyes...

When he came out of the kitchen, the woman looked at the sliced ​​meat on the chopping board and the cleaned pots and pans, and almost suspected that what she had just seen was a hallucination.

This gentleman is really amazing!Dude did a better job than her!

Elder Liu plunged into the classics, but Gu Jiuyuan went to Shuigou Village early the next day and hid in the sweet-scented osmanthus tree to watch Guan Yan.

The man was the same as yesterday. After getting up early in the morning, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast, then went to water the vegetable garden, and went out with a basket on his back after breakfast.

Guan Yan went to the ground today.

The village chief asked someone to help him harvest the rice, and helped him prepare the land. When he came back, all the villagers who had surplus rice seedlings were sent to him. Many young guys in the village offered to help him plant rice seedlings. It took two days Several acres of rice have been planted.

The newly planted seedlings had to be taken care of carefully, and Guan Yan would go down to the ground almost every day to observe the growth of the seedlings.

The field was flat and there was no shelter to hide in. Gu Jiuyuan could only follow him from a distance.

Amidst the greetings along the way, he walked to his own field, just as Guan Yan was about to put down the basket, when he heard a woman's joyful voice.

"Brother Guan!"

Guan Yan turned his head, and there was a woman with a pale complexion and a slender waist standing opposite her in a water-green skirt.The woman's brows and eyes are gentle, and the apricot eyes that look at him are full of light.

The moment he saw the woman, a sentence popped into Gu Jiuyuan's mind - she looks at you with such fiery eyes, she must like you!

The young man's tone was a little aggressive, with the obvious displeasure of being coveted by others, Gu Jiuyuan's face instantly sank.

The distance was too far, and he couldn't hear what the two were saying, but Guan Yan's expression did not change after seeing the woman, and the zhenqi in his body that was raging with swords returned to calm.

Guan Yan lowered his eyes and nodded slightly: "Miss Luo."

"I heard about Erniu's family just after I came back from my grandfather's house yesterday," the woman sighed, "Thanks to Brother Guan for your generosity!"

"Ah."

The person in front of me was still as quiet as before, the woman smiled and said softly: "I am going to my grandfather's house this time, and my aunt wants to tell me about a marriage. The other party is the son of an innkeeper in the city. , said that he wanted to find a woman who could be diligent and thrifty in managing the house and was smart and witty, and the dowry was extremely generous..."

In this regard, Guan Yan does not express any opinions.

The woman didn't mind his silence, and continued: "I refused. I've heard of this man. He is a young man who loves to seek flowers and ask willows.

"I told my aunt that the ideal husband in my mind is a man with a calm and generous personality who can live a down-to-earth life, not a slutty man who takes care of his parents."

The woman looked at Guan Yan with naked and straightforward eyes, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Guan Yan pursed his lips, but still didn't answer.

The woman clenched her fingers tightly and said with burning eyes: "I have already found such a man, but he doesn't like to talk to me. Brother Guan, tell me, if I express my feelings to him, will he think I'm too abrupt and a bitch? A frivolous woman?"

Having said that, it is almost the same as piercing the window paper.

Guan Yan raised his eyes and looked directly at the woman, and said sincerely: "The girl's character has been praised by the elders in the village. No one will question the girl's misconduct. It's just that the person you said has no intention of marrying a wife and cannot respond to the girl. mind."

"Is it because he has a sweetheart?" The woman's eyes were stubborn, "I don't believe rumors unless he tells me personally!"

Dang Duan kept being disturbed by it, Guan Yan couldn't bear to let the woman waste her thoughts on him, so he said: "The rumors are true."

"I don't believe it!" The woman's eyes sparkled, "Brother Guan, you are not a person who values ​​skin, so why would you be tempted by a face?"

Guan Yan frowned: "I'm tempted by him not only because of his good looks. Besides, Xiao Jiu is not a person with empty skins!"

The skin is also part of a person, why should appearance be excluded?He doesn't think it's wrong to like a beautiful face.

The woman is dumb.

The man confessed his preferences openly and plainly, saying the name Xiaojiu clearly made his attitude clearer than saying some scene words.

"Brother Guan..."

The woman's nose was a little sore. Although she had predicted that a man would reject her, it still made people feel sad to hear the person she liked admit that she liked another person in person.

"Guan Yan is really not a good match, Miss, please find another spouse." After finishing speaking, Guan Yan turned and went to inspect the fields.

The woman blinked, suppressed the enthusiasm in her eyes, and asked: "You can't be with the person you like, Brother Guan, is he planning to be alone for the rest of his life?"

Guan Yan was silent.It never occurred to him that he would live with a certain person.

"A person's life is so long, the happy life is the same, and the sad life is the same. Instead of living the life in unspeakable misery, it is better to live every day happily..."

Guan Yan turned his head and said softly, "Thank you, miss."

The woman rubbed her eyes, smiled at him and turned to leave.

Gu Jiuyuan couldn't hear the conversation between the two, so he only guessed based on their facial expressions.The woman's expression changed again and again, and finally her eyes were red, which gave him an extremely bad premonition, and also made him feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

What he likes is naturally the best, which means that Guan Yan is also outstanding in the eyes of others. His kindness is recognized by everyone, and it also attracts men and women other than him who has lost his memory!

This realization made Gu Jiuyuan blush.

A sad and sharp suona attracted everyone's attention.

The procession full of plains was walking on the dirt road, the cries of women and children were loud, it turned out that Er Niu was going to the funeral today.

The white flags are surging, and the yellow paper is sprinkled all over the sky. It looks especially bleak in this wilderness with withered autumn leaves.

Guan Yan watched the funeral procession go away, only to feel that there was another heavy stone in his heart.

After inspecting the fields, there was no abnormality, Guan Yan felt depressed, so he simply went up the mountain to relax.

Seeing him walking in the direction of Xiaoliangshan, Gu Jiuyuan's face turned pale, and there was a faint light in his dark eyes.

The road up and down the mountain has been familiarized for thousands of times, and the scenery on the mountain is not much different every day, but Guan Yan's footsteps always go to those places subconsciously.

The first place he passed was naturally the cave whose entrance was blocked by falling rocks, but when he stood in front of the cave and saw the rough and uneven stone walls inside, he was completely stunned.

Who moved the big rock away?

Guan Yan's heart tightened, and he hurried into the cave.

nothing left!

The cave is empty, everything has been cleaned up!

who is it?

Guan Yan was in a mess, he walked out of the cave and looked around, only to find that the shadows of those big, unsightly rocks had disappeared!

Everyone in the village knew that this was the place where Xiaojiu had been, and they all tacitly agreed that he had unusual feelings for Xiaojiu. No one would deliberately poke his wound and disturb the things in the cave. Besides, the falling rocks blocking the entrance of the cave were not ordinary people Can move!

Who did it, and who has the strength?

The fist hanging by his side tightened suddenly, Guan Yan straightened his back, feeling full of anger.

The sad suona sound was still echoing in my ears, and the most sad tune that could arouse people's hearts lingered, and the man with dull eyes walked towards the stream with heavy steps.

The stream runs quietly among the withered and yellowed vegetation, and the yellow leaves that fall on the water are whirling and trembling. This side of the world is so quiet that it makes people panic.

Suddenly, with a "pop", a fish jumped from the stream to Guan Yan, and the man stopped suddenly.

Guan Yan didn't look at the fish, his eyes fell on a pile of ashes left after the burning of branches and the leftover fish bones that had been eaten by people, he was puzzled.

When he stayed here yesterday, he didn't see these things. It is likely that someone came here to light a fire and grill fish after he left.

A child has drowned here, and the villagers think it is bad luck, and few people come here, let alone eat the fish here...

Who is that eating fish?

...Could it be the same person who cleaned the cave?

"Crack!" Another fish jumped out of the stream for no apparent reason.

Guan Yan stared at the fish that died without much struggle, and suddenly thought of the rabbit that crashed into a tree and committed suicide yesterday, and the snake that fell to its death, and an unbelievable guess emerged in his mind.

His breathing became more and more rapid, and his heart beat uncontrollably, but this guess was too absurd, so he had to try his best to convince himself that these might just be coincidences.

A voice retorted from the bottom of my heart: No!It is he who is back!It's Xiao Jiu!Xiao Jiu must be back!

Guan Yan's heart trembled, and his fingers couldn't help curling up.

A gust of wind blew past, and there was a trace of cold fragrance in the wind, which he had smelled on someone's neck before!

Guan Yan instantly stiffened his body.

"Does Ah Yan hate me? You don't even want to look at me?"

An unfamiliar voice came from behind, Guan Yan turned his head abruptly, and suddenly met a pair of bright and fiery black eyes with countless cold stars shining in them.

The owner of the black eyes is dressed in white clothes Shengxue, tall and tall, with a beautiful and handsome appearance, and his eyebrows and eyes are clearly Xiaojiu's appearance when he grows up!
