The night sky was cold and gloomy, and the crystal snowflakes flickered in the lights. When the girl leaning on the tree smiled, it seemed that a layer of soft light lingered on her body, lighting up the surroundings.

Chu Yi's eyes fell on the white jade plum hairpin on Gu Yanfei's bun, and the two red plum blossoms at the end of the hairpin were so red.

A slight smile appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you like it very much?" He kept wearing it.

This question is endless.

"I like it!" Gu Yanfei understood what he was asking, laughed loudly, and nodded calmly.

That clear and flawless face was always full of vitality, flying freely, and his eyes were as bright as the brightest stars in the night sky, brightening his heart.

As long as she likes it! Chu Yi looked at her, with a deeper smile on his face, as if the spring breeze had blown across the snow-covered earth, warming the air.

Gu Yanfei raised his hand to touch the hairpin on the bun, with a gentle movement, thinking: Of course I like it. Thanks to this hairpin, otherwise I would be in big trouble today!

She still had to try to find some more antiquities. Gu Yanfei pondered in her heart.

After resting against the tree trunk for a while, Gu Yanfei felt a bit more comfortable when the cold wind blew, but the cold wind went straight to the neckline, making it chilly.

The confrontation with Xia Houqing tonight almost exhausted her spiritual power and energy, and she needs to "recover blood".

"I'm better, let's go." Gu Yanfei supported the tree trunk with one hand, trying to straighten up, "I won't wait."

Seeing that she was struggling to stand, Chu Yi subconsciously stretched out his left hand, trying to help her, but Gu Yanfei had already turned around, leaving his hand empty.

Even though his feet were fluttering, Gu Yanfei still walked forward slowly, one step after another.

The evening wind blew the cloak on her body, and the cloak fluttered, making her steps look more vain, as if she was floating forward.

The corners of Chu Yi's lips pursed slightly, seeing that she didn't intend to ask him to help her at all, so she withdrew her hand.

He walked beside her step by step, silently held an umbrella for her, looked at her soft and delicate profile, looked at the corners of her lips that were always slightly curved like a crescent moon, and thought: She seems to be very used to relying on herself.

The two walked side by side, leisurely.

Chu Yi's attention was almost entirely focused on the girl beside him.

The two stayed very close, occasionally arm brushing and shoulder to shoulder as they walked.

He could smell the quiet bamboo fragrance from her body, sandwiched with the surrounding snowflakes, it was light and refreshing.

When they passed near the guest house, Gu Yanfei stopped suddenly, stretched out his hand to grab one of Chu Yi's sleeves, and shook it lightly.

With the other finger pointing forward, she tiptoed and whispered to him, "Look over there."

"Huh?" Chu Yi was taken aback for a moment, looked down at her two fingers pinching her cuff, and smiled.

In the light, there was a warm smile on the corners of his flying eyes and lips.

Gu Yanfei smiled slyly at him, the bright smile was as warm as the winter sun, and she held a finger with her left hand while counting:

"one two three."

When she counted to "three", she only heard a sound on the ground in front of her, and a house in the guest courtyard collapsed.

The roof collapsed in an instant with the thick snow above it, and the ground below shook slightly, and there were several screams in the house one after another.

Countless snowflakes and dust are flying in the air, forming a gray fog!

A large amount of gray snow and broken tiles fell on the ground inside the courtyard wall, making the ground a mess.

"..." Chu Yi raised his eyebrows without changing his expression.

He certainly remembered that Xia Houqing had gone to this courtyard just now.

"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will come to meet you!" Gu Yanfei smiled happily, and patted Chu Yi's shoulder vigorously.

The girl's hearty laughter echoed in the night wind.

Naturally, she couldn't carry any cloud-piercing arrows with her. The red light was the effect of a talisman, and it was painted on the paper crane that she asked Juanbi to give to Xia Houqing.

This talisman doesn't do much, it's just a red firework.

It's just that the paper crane is indoors, and when the red light soars into the sky, the roof will inevitably be impacted and damaged.

There had just been a blizzard before, and the damaged roof was covered with thick snow, obviously it couldn't bear it for long...

Back then, Master always said that she liked to ponder some messy talismans.

If there is a chance to go back, she must talk to Master about it.

Gu Yanfei raised his hand to touch it, the pinch marks on his neck still felt a little painful, and his chin lifted proudly.

snort! Xia Houqing should be unlucky!

Anyway, this Zhuangzi is "in disrepair for a long time", and it is common for a roof to collapse... right?

Seeing her being silly and happy, Chu Yi also smiled, his brows soft. As long as she is happy!

The two continued to walk slowly, and the sound of falling stones and debris could be heard from the guest courtyard behind, and crows gleefully chirped in the distance again...

When Gu Yanfei returned to the main courtyard, he saw Guanshi Huang looking around near the entrance of the courtyard.

Of course he also heard the news of the collapse of the guest courtyard, but Gu Yanfei had already ordered him, so he didn't dare to step out of the courtyard door at will.

"Go and tidy up the two guest rooms. If the others have nothing to do, they should go to bed early." Gu Yanfei continued to walk in while instructing Manager Huang.

Her calm demeanor made Guanshi Huang feel at ease after being anxious for a long time.

"Yes, yes, this villain is going to do it." Manager Huang rubbed his hands again and again.

While talking, they came to the veranda in front of the main room, Gu Yanfei picked a chair nearby and sat down, while Sihai and other guards stood guard outside the main courtyard.

Gu Yuan was only two steps behind them, and quickly strode into the room, with a slight frown on his handsome face.

"There are no sedan chairs in this Zhuangzi." He told Steward Wang coldly, "It's okay if there are no sedan chairs in the Zhuangzi. We need to prepare one in the future."

Guanshi Huang kept his promise for a while, slandering in his heart: The masters haven't come to Zhuangzi for more than ten years, and the sedan chairs used to be broken down long ago.

Gu Yuan didn't care about Guan Shi, walked quickly to Gu Yanfei's side, and asked in a soft voice: "Sister, are you feeling better? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look at you?"

Gu Yanfei waved his hands, wanting to say that she is the best doctor, but before he could say anything, he heard an old female voice with low spirits coming from outside the room:

"Girl... Eldest Young Master..."

Outside the main room, a chunky black figure staggered towards us.

It was Nanny Pang who came.

Nanny Pang was wearing a half-new black cloak, and the white strips from before were still tied on her forehead, her gray hair was a little disheveled in the wind.

Guanshi Huang's daughter held Nanny Pang's arm carefully, and the little girl explained in a nonchalant way: "Nurse Pang heard that the young master is coming, so she insisted on coming over to say hello to the young master."

"Young Master!" Even though she hadn't seen him for so many years, Nanny Pang still recognized Gu Yuan beside Gu Yanfei at a glance, her swollen eye sockets filled with tears again.

When she left, Gu Yuan was only a six-year-old child, but now he has grown into a gentleman with outstanding manners.

Nanny Pang's complexion was still not good, but she was obviously in a good mood. When she looked at Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei, her old cloudy eyes brightened a little.

Gu Yuan's eyes opened slightly, and he also recognized Nanny Pang who hadn't seen him for many years.

Ten years have allowed an ignorant child to grow into a heroic youth, and at the same time cruelly carved countless wrinkles and silver threads on Nanny Pang's round face.

"Mommy," Gu Yuan was first shocked at how Nanny Pang was also in this village, and then he realized that she was injured, his voice was hoarse, "Why do you..."

"Jiaoniang and I picked up Nanny Pang on the way here to hide from the snow," Gu Yanfei explained on behalf of Nanny Pang, leaning lazily on the high-backed chair, "At that time, Nanny Pang was injured , fell on the side of the road."

"The nanny said that she went to the mansion today, but was sent away."

Gu Yanfei's words were concise and to the point, without saying too much, the look of fatigue could not be concealed between his brows.

Gu Yuan's pupils fluttered, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his right hand subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the chair.

"Nurse..." His eyes turned on Nanny Pang's forehead wrapped in white cloth again, and there was an indistinct tremor in his usually cold and steady voice.

He wasn't stupid, and from Gu Yanfei's few words, he immediately figured out that Nanny Pang had been murdered and silenced.

But why? !

Gu Yuan's eyes were cold and dark, as if ice had been hidden for thousands of years.

The figures of those blood relatives emerged in my mind alternately.

Gu Yuan pursed his thin lips tightly, faintly feeling a kind of depression about to come...

Juan Bi served tea to everyone one by one with agility, but only Gu Yanfei brought the cup to her hand by Juan Bi.

There was no good tea in this village, so Juanbi used the scented tea that she brought with her, and a faint scent of plum blossom tea wafted into the air with the heat of the tea.

After drinking a few sips of hot tea, Gu Yanfei's face turned red from the heat, but his body was still weak, and his lips were a little pale.

Gu Yanfei examined Gu Yuan's complex expression, his eyes were deep, and he asked slowly: "Brother, have you ever had smallpox?"

Because of her exhaustion, her voice was not as crisp as usual, and against the backdrop of the wind and snow outside, there was a hint of vicissitudes of life.

When Nanny Pang heard the words, she couldn't help but clenched her veil tightly, her dry and pale lips trembling slightly.

When he heard "Smallpox", even Chu Yi, who was silently drinking tea at the side, reacted a bit, and gave Gu Yuan a sidelong glance.

"..." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows suspiciously, not knowing why his sister would ask such a question.

After thinking about it for a while, he said honestly: "I remember one time when I was three or four years old, I was very ill, had a fever all the time, and was groggy... Grandma said it was smallpox."

"Is it really smallpox?" Gu Yanfei stared closely at Gu Yuan's eyes, tried to cheer up, and asked again, "Didn't Big Brother doubt it?"

Her face turned slightly pale, and her gaze towards Gu Yuan became deeper and more complicated.

Gu Yuan: "..."

Gu Yuan stared, his expression gradually becoming serious. Of course my sister won't be aimless...
