Lunar New Year's eve.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiaodong was awakened by crackling firecrackers.

Outside the courtyard wall, there were children's nursery rhymes laughing and joking: "The box to ward off evil spirits, play with walnuts, dot the cannon twice; when the five sons enter the imperial examination, there is a ping-pong sound, and the fire rises higher than the sky..."

The fiery firecrackers dispelled the chill of the ice and snow, and every household was busy from early morning, steaming steamed buns, cooking New Year's Eve dinner, cleaning the house... Even the Gu family, who had just experienced a major change, was no exception.

Lin Xiaodong turned over in the bed in a daze, and really didn't want to get up while lying on the bed.The servants couldn't call him, so they had to run to Gu Xingzhai.As a result, the man didn't come out after entering the bedroom, causing a group of people to stare blankly outside.

After the butler's downfall, Gu Xingzhai dismissed most of the servants in Gu's mansion, leaving only a few old people who had stayed here since his father first arrived in Qingxie Town.Anyway, there are not many people who really have to serve in the house, and there is no need to support so many people.

Therefore, Lin Xiaodong no longer concealed the relationship between him and Gu Xingzhai.In broad daylight, he dared to pull the other party into the quilt to stay in bed, but he still miscalculated in the end——

"I'm going to get up! This is Bairi Xuanwu&¥%#..." The young man who wanted to continue sleeping in the cage made a serious protest. He struggled to get out of bed, but his outstretched white wrist was caught by the person behind him. He grabbed it with his big hand and stuffed it back under the quilt.

"Good boy," Gu Xingzhai leaned on his back, his dark eyes were deep and hot, and the kiss with hot breath fell gently on those shoulder blades like butterfly wings, "You can sleep for a while."

Lin Xiaodong: How can I sleep when you are like this!

In the end, I still didn't sleep.

By the time the two left the bedroom, it was already afternoon.Lin Xiaodong leaned on the soft couch expressionlessly, knocking on the melon seeds in his hands, watching Gu Xingzhai, who was kicked out of bed by him, performing today's 1 pieces of boulders with his bare hands, without getting enough sleep Jue's resentment was finally relieved.He patted the dregs on his hands, stood up and said to the servants who were watching secretly: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, if there is no one at home, let's stay at the house and spend it together. By the way, everyone will be paid double salary this month, Go to the cashier to get it yourself."

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and cheered at the same time:

"Miss Wanfu!"

Seeing this, Gu Xingzhai, who was busy picking up stones with his head down, also heaved a sigh of relief.Noticing Lin Xiaodong's gaze, the man rubbed his nose and smiled, "Very good, let's have a reunion dinner together."

The dinner was sumptuous, Gu Xingzhai, as the head of the family, stood up and said a few words of blessing, and then it was Lin Xiaodong's turn.But he has always been impatient with this, and after holding back for a long time, he only uttered four words "eat and drink well", which made everyone at the table laugh.

"Stay for a while, let's set off fireworks together." After the young man sat down, Gu Xingzhai said to him, "What shape do you want to set off?"

Lin Xiaodong thought for a while, and said seriously: "I want to put a dog's head."

Gu Xingzhai:?

Lin Puppy would never have dreamed that one day, his handsome big head would appear in the New Year's Eve sky in a different world.

Seeing Lin Xiaodong beside him laughing unsteadily, Gu Xingzhai sighed helplessly, even though he didn't know why and felt that the dog's head was really ugly, and turned his head up to show a faint smile.

He didn't ask for much.

I only wish the one I love is safe, every year has today, and every year has today.

After the new year, the ice and snow melted and the weather warmed up slightly.Lin Xiaodong, who stayed at home for almost a winter, was so bored that his hair was about to grow, so he thought about it, and planned to find a time to go to the town for another free clinic.

But unexpectedly, his decision was firmly opposed by Gu Xingzhai.

"No," the man said firmly, "It's too cold now, and your feet have just healed. If you go out now, do you want to get frostbite?"

"It's okay, I think it's much warmer than the previous few days." Lin Xiaodong didn't take his words to heart, "Don't worry, I'll wear more clothes this time."

"If I say no, I just can't." Gu Xingzhai's face darkened when he saw that he didn't listen to the persuasion, "You are not allowed to go, do you hear me?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Xiaodong to answer, he turned his head and ordered the servant at the gate: "Let the young lady stay at the house for a while, and don't let him go out, otherwise I will only ask you!"

"Gu Xingzhai, what are you doing?" Lin Xiaodong frowned, but the man just gave him a silent look, then turned and left in a hurry.

Gu Xingzhai's attitude made Lin Xiaodong think of the situation in the previous world. He asked the system: "Did something happen in the town?"

"At present, everything is normal," the system said, "but it seems that some unfavorable rumors are spreading quietly. Gu Xingzhai probably wants to let the rumors dissipate by cold treatment, so he grounded you."

"Then why can't he just tell me?"

"Well, maybe it's because you're worried?" But thinking of Gu Xingzhai's character, the system changed its tune again, "Maybe it's because you don't believe that he can protect you, so run away overnight in a hurry."

Lin Xiaodong: "...I really want to open a big hole in his forehead and see what's inside."

Is this the brain circuit that normal people should have! ?

However, it wasn't the first day that Gu Xingzhai knew about Gu Xingzhai's lack of security. Lin Xiaodong sighed, thinking that he would not go out unless he had to go out. Anyway, the faces of those people in the town are not good-looking, and it's no big deal to stay at home for a few more days. .

This stay lasted for another month.

As the turmoil in the town subsided, Gu Xingzhai also acquiesced in Lin Xiaodong's free clinic again, but he was required to be accompanied by at least one servant every time he went out.

Lin Xiaodong agreed.

On this day, he went to the east of the town to give acupuncture to an old man who had been bedridden for half a year. Although this old man had been poor all his life, he was quite prestigious in the town. When Lin Xiaodong performed the acupuncture, there were hundreds of spectators standing outside the house.But how many of them came to see him to practice medicine, and how many of them came to join in the fun just to "see his beauty", only they themselves know.

"All right."

After working for more than two hours, Lin Xiaodong wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened up and said.

Although the old man on the bed was still in a coma, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his complexion was completely different from the paleness of the wall paint just now.The old man's son and daughter stood aside, overjoyed and thanked repeatedly, but Lin Xiaodong just waved his hands with a pale face, and slowly stood up while leaning on the edge of the bed, seemingly exhausted.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The servant who came with him next to him hurriedly said with concern.

"It's okay, I'm just tired." Lin Xiaodong said calmly.

Before he came to this world, he knew nothing about medical skills, and he couldn't even tell which medicine to take for a hot cold and a cold cold. Although with the help of the system, it is easy to diagnose and prescribe medicine, but traditional acupuncture still needs his own help. Learn little by little.This is all real work, and there is no way to let the system help you cheat.

He rejected the gift red envelope prepared by the patient's family, and walked out of the gate under the watchful eyes of everyone, but what he met was a pot of extremely stinky black dog blood.Fortunately, Lin Xiaodong reacted quickly and dodged sideways in time, so he didn't get doused all over his face.

But even so, half of his body was splashed with dirt, and his dizzy head became even more dizzy after being smoked by the stimulating smell.

Lin Xiaodong retched on the spot, and a servant rushed out from behind, sternly saying, "Who did it!? Get out if you want to!"

No one dared to admit it.

But in the crowd, someone took advantage of the chaos and yelled loudly: "Yaomei must die!" It immediately caused an uproar.

The townspeople present had more or less heard the rumors that circulated some time ago, and seeing Lin Xiaodong's reaction to the black dog blood now, they all doubted in their hearts——

Could it be that the rumors were actually true?

Even the family members of the patient who had just been cured just stood behind and watched from a distance, and did not step forward to say even a few words for him.The servants saw that they were single and weak, and they were pointing fingers at them even though they had done good deeds, their faces flushed red with anger, but Lin Xiaodong grabbed him.

"Miss, I..."

"Go home first." The young man interrupted him with a weak voice.

"……Yes."

Reluctantly, the servant helped him into the rickshaw, and gave the crowd following behind him a hard look: "A wolf-like thing! Sooner or later, he will be punished!" Then he quickly left the town with Lin Xiaodong. superior.

From that day on, the gate of Gu's residence was closed tightly, and he never interacted with anyone again.

Lin Xiaodong never left the mansion again, and the townspeople who lost the opportunity to see a doctor for free began to grow more and more resentful towards Lin Xiaodong and Gu Xingzhai.In the end, under the secret instigation of those with a heart, it turned into a vigorous crusade.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Lin, I am here to remind you two by order of my master."

On this day, it was rare for a guest to come to the Gu Mansion, which had been closed for a long time.

But his expression was serious, and what he brought was not some long-lost good news, but a warning: "Now the situation has evolved to an uncontrollable level. In addition to those foolish people, there are people from higher levels who are also eyeing If Mr. Gu has relatives from other provinces, he should leave here as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he also put a small package on the table, which contained a bank note and a few taels of silver.

"A little courtesy, even if my master has practiced it for the two of you." He said, "The master said that the two men are talented and beautiful, and they are a natural pair. They should have made a good story. From now on, the mountains and rivers will last forever, and there will be a period in the future."

Gu Xingzhai sat on the main seat, looking at the sincere expression of the messenger below, his tense face finally loosened.

He walked down, cupped his hands at the man and said: "The gift will be waived, take a message for me to Mr. Huang, just say today's kindness, Gu will write it down."

After seeing off the guests, Gu Xingzhai dismissed the servants in the house, gave them three years' salary, then packed up the valuables at home, and prepared to leave Qingxie Town with Lin Xiaodong early tomorrow morning.

However, in the dead of night, a team of hundreds of people set off from Qingxie Town, holding torches, and came all the way to the gate of Gu Mansion.The leader was the cloth shop owner who overheard the conversation between the gray-robed Taoist priest and his apprentice.

"Gu Xingzhai, hand over Yaomei!"

Before leaving, the proprietor of the cloth shop specially drank a bowl of wine to build up his courage. Now that he was drunk, he yelled angrily and slammed on the door: "Come out! If you don't come out, we will set it on fire." -"

Just hearing a "squeak", the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

The cloth shop owner accidentally smashed his fist, and almost staggered and fell to his knees at the feet of the visitor.

Gu Xingzhai stood at the gate of Gu's Mansion, and glanced at him condescendingly, as if he was looking at a speck of dust accidentally stained on the shoe surface.

Facing a group of menacing townspeople holding torches, the man asked in a calm and indifferent voice: "It's midnight, what's your business here?"

"You—" the owner of the cloth shop gritted his teeth with hatred, but then remembered how many of them they had, and immediately became proud again, "Didn't you just say that I asked you to hand over the monster hidden at home! Seeing as Master Gu For the sake of this, as long as you obediently obey the arrangement, no one will do anything to you. If you don't listen..."

"If you don't listen," Gu Xingzhai interrupted him, Gujing Wubo's eyes stared at the cloth shop owner without blinking, "what will happen?"

The owner of the cloth shop shuddered subconsciously: "Yes... Then even if you deliberately hide the demon, the government will not let you off lightly at that time! At least it will ransack your home, and at worst it will behead you!"

"Really," Gu Xingzhai said indifferently, "Then everyone, please go back, there are no monsters in my house."

"If you say there is no, then there is none?" The cloth store owner narrowed his eyes. He thought of the wealth savings that the Gu family had accumulated for so many years, and his heart was itchy. "I don't believe it, unless you let us go in and have a look!"

"Exactly!" "That's right!"

His words were immediately echoed by the people, and the firelight illuminated the excited and greedy expressions on their faces. For a moment, Gu Xingzhai couldn't tell whether he was facing a human or a demon.

He sighed, knowing that today would not be a good day.

"Xiao Dong," the man suddenly tilted his head and asked, "Are you willing to come with me? Even if it's the days when the world was your home and you didn't have a fixed place to live?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, only a chuckle came from the courtyard wall.

Under the unbelievable gaze of the cloth shop owner, the young man in a cloud blue gown calmly walked to Gu Xingzhai's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.The young man's eyebrows were curved, and he was fearless, as if what they were facing was not a group of thugs with malicious intentions, but the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

"I'm not easy to take care of," Lin Xiaodong said with a smile, "However, if Young Master Gu can afford it, then I will naturally accompany you to the end."
