The two eyelids were like the deep sea, and the Jingwei bird in mythology kept dropping stones in its mouth. Gu Ningxi tried hard to open his eyes, but felt that the eyelids were numb, itchy and heavy, just preventing him from seeing the sky.

The body is hot and cold, are your hands and feet wobbling? Gu Ningxi was not sure if she could still direct her limbs. Do you hunched over or twitched yourself?

The heart is dull and painful, and it seems to be constantly pouring in the wind. It is so cold that the beating is weak, and the blood is stagnant. There seemed to be river water remaining in the internal organs, which was bitter, astringent and choking, which somehow added a burning sensation, making the whole person extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Ningxi ordered herself to wake up quickly! He knew that he didn't return to the underworld, so he had to tell He Niang about Gu Ningran's dirty thoughts as soon as possible, and let her be on guard.

By the way, he didn't die, what about Gu Ningran who he dragged into the water? Is it dead or alive? If he died, did he kill someone? Are you ashamed of your grandparents, uncles and aunts? Are you going to kneel down and plead guilty?

What if this person is alive? Just for the fact that he bullied Qiniang, he can be sent to Yousi to prosecute him. Once Heniang's future troubles are eliminated, and his own hidden worries go with him, can he recover his wife more wholeheartedly?

Gu Ningxi's mind didn't stop, and he couldn't feel the passage of time until the sun was high, and the scorching sun at noon danced hotly on his eyelids, as if melting a stubborn stone, making his eyelids lighten suddenly.

Gu Ningxi tried her best to open her eyes, and the sunlight pierced in unceremoniously. He unconsciously shed hot tears, and his eyelids closed again on his own initiative, as if he must protect the beautiful and bright pupils of his master.

In the third case, Gu Ningxi finally gritted his teeth and opened his eyes. His vision gradually became clear. Turning his head and neck was as laborious as moving Mount Tai. He heard his own "huhu" breathing hard, and quickly held his breath and let out another breath, suppressing the indecent The sound, quietly looked around.

This room is completely unfamiliar, and the layout is full of preciousness. I am lying on the hard high bed, and my nose is full of the smell of medicine.

Standing or sitting at the foot of the bed were two thin young men dressed in the clothes of servants from an unknown mansion, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands.

A little farther away, there are two women standing side by side by the window, chatting vaguely about something. They had their backs to Gu Ningxi, they were similar in height, one was wearing the clothes of their maid in Gu's residence, and the other was actually wearing a yellow dress!

lady!

Gu Ningxi was about to blurt out a call.

He opened his lips, hesitated for a moment and swallowed back his voice, fixed his gaze on the woman in yellow, and even unconsciously and tremblingly moved his upper body on his elbows, trying to see more clearly.

Even a very slight shaking like shaking involved the chest wound, and the pain of broken bones and veins swept over without any politeness, and Gu Ningxi made a soft "hiss".

All four people in the room heard it, and they all moved closer, chattering: "Master, are you awake?"

Before the woman turned around, Gu Ningxi realized that this was not He Niang.

Different bodies, different bones, different stances.

As for the color of the yellow clothes, it is an earthy yellow that is two points darker than turmeric. It loses the dignity and stability of turmeric, and looks stale and stuffy. The pattern can't be seen carefully at the moment, but it is definitely not the pattern of butterfly wearing flowers that the lady used to wear before.

When the four men and women approached, Gu Ningxi scanned the three flat, fuzzy faces and the unique face with clear eyebrows and eyes one by one, and matched them. The one in yellow was Mo who should be staying in the new Gu's residence in the capital. seven seven.

Could it be that he returned to the mansion? But houses are not like that.

Facing the only person whose name and surname he had confirmed, Gu Ningxi asked weakly: "Qiniang, where is this?"

Mo Qiqi's expression of joy was so lively, as if she had set the hot sun on her facial features, Gu Ningxi looked at this lively mirror-like girl, and was driven to loosen the frown between her brows unconsciously.

I heard her answer with her lips curled up: "Great, brother Xi, you have been in a coma for two whole days, and you finally woke up, otherwise we will have to ask the doctor again. You are asking here, it is Jichang Uncle is in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing."

Cheng Shicheng? Gu Ningxi didn't expect that under his roof, she instantly remembered the scene of him talking with He Niang in his memory, they were so close together, so why? He frowned again.

"Two days? Is it twenty-two now? Why am I in his village?" Gu Ningxi asked anxiously, speaking a little too fast without paying attention, coughing, and red mist appeared in the corners of her eyes.

While quickly revealing their identities, the two young men turned him sideways and patted his back lightly.

He also guessed from the voice that these two were his boys who could read and paint, but they were not dressed in black. Gu Ningxi heard another maid from her family say that she was Liu Guang, and knowing that she was surrounded by close people, she inexplicably relaxed a little.

Knowing books and paintings told Gu Ningxi what happened in the past two days, and when it came to the end, the two young men choked up. Who knew how much they were afraid that the master would not be able to survive and would never open his eyes again!

The two took turns to take care of Gu Ningxi at twelve o'clock, and they were more sincere and diligent than when he was sober, holding the kindness to please the master. At this time, seeing Gu Ningxi's voice was weak but his eyes were clear, they all let go of their hearts and just wanted to fall asleep on the spot.

Careful Liu Guang brought warm water, asked Gu Ningxi if she wanted to moisten her lips, and also said if she could eat other things, she had to wait for the doctor to come and listen to the doctor's orders.

"Don't worry, Lord, this time it's warm boiled water, not Kuding tea, it's just right for your taste." Liu Guang was hiding tears in the corners of his eyes, trying to tease Gu Ningxi to smile. It is at least the blessing of the servants of Manfu that the master survived the catastrophe.

Mo Qiqi had already quickly left the room and came back for a moment. She dragged the round stool and sat on the head of the bed, staring at Gu Ningxi without blinking, as if she was afraid that he would faint again, like looking at a baby that would disappear at any time . He muttered, "I went out and told Aunt Zhang, and she called the doctor over right away, how does Brother Xi feel?"

Gu Ningxi felt very embarrassed, turned her head sideways to avoid the girl's sight, tried her best to sit up half-recumbent and half-recumbent with the help of the servant, when her body was cold, she realized that she was in a messy appearance with her clothes open and her arms open.

In fact, it only exposed the skin from the neck to the collarbone, a large area of ​​cold white and delicate, and the collarbone socket was deep enough to hide a small hummingbird. About from the first rib down, there are layers of bandages that make him feel stiff and cramped, all the way to the abdomen, wrapping him like a silkworm chrysalis, Gu Ningxi is still deeply embarrassed.

He turned his whole body towards the wall, shifted his center of gravity to the inside, raised his veined hand and gathered the skirt of his shirt, which was unfamiliar to him, held the fabric between his chest and abdomen, and looked down at himself. I closed my eyes, as if covering my upper body, and felt a bit more comfortable.

After two days without food or water, Gu Ningxi didn't feel hungry, but there was Venus spinning in front of her eyes, sometimes dark and sometimes bright. He held back his dizziness, held his clothes in one hand, and took two sips of warm tea with the other. The chapped lips were relieved, but the water I drank went somewhere, and I didn't feel anything in my body, which was strange.

Gu Ningxi maintained the awkward posture of turning her body inward and her head and neck outward. After taking a breath, she thought of Gu Ningran, and quickly asked, "Has he been rescued? Is he also in Zhuangzi?" Clearer, less hoarse and vague.

"Tao Jushi sent someone to send him back to Beijing that day."

Gu Ningxi nodded instinctively to express her understanding, but then felt a buzzing in her head, so she stopped her movements abruptly, and replied "Got it."

Following his thoughts during his illness, he said to himself: "Fortunately, he didn't succeed. I guess I arrived in time. I don't know if He Niang was frightened. Gu Ningran, you need to be punished severely. I can't be soft, the big deal is to ask the elders for forgiveness later."

As for the crime that Gu Ningran will be punished for, Gu Ningxi raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Mo Qiqi who brought over the half-foot-tall beauty's shoulder-embracing vase.

Mo Qiqi showed the wild flowers they had just picked to Xi Zizi, who had just woken up. There were clusters of small petals, four or five unknown spring flowers such as soft pink, light white, tender yellow, and lavender. Being stuffed to the brim, there is no elegance to appreciate, but it looks full of vitality, maybe, just like Mo Qiqi.

Mo Qiqi murmured, "Brother Xi, seeing that you haven't woken up, we're going to die of anxiety. The scenery outside is so beautiful, so I thought, bring some minutes back, and smell the fragrance of flowers, can I wake you up quickly?" Come on. Look, these are the bouquets we picked out from the most beautiful and outstanding stems, do you think of spring when you look at them?"

"It's ridiculous. Brother Xi can't laugh at me after hearing this. It was raining here yesterday, and I didn't pay attention when picking flowers. I stepped on the edge of my skirt, fell on my back, and fell into a mud puddle. I was ashamed to death. Quickly I came back and changed my clothes, luckily my hair wasn’t wet, otherwise it would be troublesome to wash my hair.”

Gu Ningxi wanted to say something else to her, and interrupted what Mo Qiqi continued to say, "This is a new dress, made of fabric that the housekeeper in your house said was outdated, I made it myself, Brother Xi, Does it look good?" He ordered Shishu to wait for the three of them to wait outside the house for a while.

The four of them looked at each other, puzzled, even murmured, "Isn't the master avoiding Miss Mo?" Mo Qiqi stared at her and quickly stopped talking.

The three quickly saluted and then withdrew. Mo Qiqi asked lightly with half curiosity and half hesitation: "Brother Xi, what do you want to whisper to me alone?"

**

Outside, Shihua tapped his younger brother's forehead, lightly reprimanded him to keep his mouth shut, Shishu grabbed his brother's hand, the two brothers fought silently, they were actually relaxing.

Liu Guang looked ahead with his hands behind his back, paying more attention to waiting for the summons from the master in the house, and his mood was somewhat more relaxed.

However, before half a cup of tea, she suddenly shuddered, squatted down and saluted, and her voice was deliberately amplified: "Slaves send greetings to Uncle, Master Tao, and Layman Tao!"

It was Cheng Shicheng, the owner of the place, who brought the Tao family father and daughter over to visit the old acquaintances of the wounded and injured.

Cheng Shicheng was introducing softly with his head sideways: "Gu Sicheng relied on his good health to survive the dangerous high fever. He heard the doctor's report in the morning, and now he has a low-grade fever. It's not a problem. He will have to struggle for a few more days. It may not be until the wound scabs over. As for being awake, it may be just a while."

Tao Cheng consciously saw through Cheng Shicheng's plan. He came to see Gu Ningxi last night, and he described her in a state of embarrassment, with a yellow face and bony bones. This injury has made her look ugly. In his eyes, she no longer has the demeanor of a gentleman.

Tao Cheng thought, a moment ago, their father and daughter came to bid farewell and said they would leave tomorrow, Cheng Shicheng teased He Niang in every possible way but didn't get any response beyond politeness, so he offered to accompany them to visit Gu Ningxi, and after He Niang said that he didn't care, he returned Persistence, maybe it is to let He Niang see the ugly appearance of the wounded patient, and lose some affection?

Because Tao Cheng thought of his first wife, He Niang's own mother, when she was alive, he was not allowed to see her if she was seriously ill, saying that it was detrimental to her appearance and not suitable for women's morals. After growing up, He Niang explained to her father from the perspective of a woman's mind that no one wants to leave an unattractive impression in front of the one they love, and they want to hide when they are sick or injured.

Tao Xinhe walked slowly, followed behind the two men, keeping her head down. She was very conflicted about meeting Gu Ningxi, who was unconscious or awake.

It was so easy to convince myself that I just took a look at it and ignored other right and wrong, so that I would not sleep well all the time, as if I was worried about him.

Tao Xinhe walked all the way, entered the courtyard where Gu Ningxi was located, and saw the servants sent by the housekeeper of Gu's house to lead Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang and others called "Madam" to salute her, she nodded in response, but did not stop.

Uncle Zhang is a trustworthy and loyal servant, he is calmer than Liu Guang and Kong Wu who can read books and paintings better than Liu Guang, Zhuyue Kongwu. The handover of the strong servants of Gu's mansion is considered to be a matter of settlement before leaving, and it's all about waiting for Gu Ningxi to deal with these people by himself.

Until Liu Guang's voice called her back to her eyes.
