Chapter 69 The Wife Disguised as a Woman

Lunar New Year's eve.

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

Outside the courtyard wall, there were children's giggling nursery rhymes: "Evil box, playing with walnuts, and two cannons.

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

Lin Xiaodong stumbled over in the duvet, lying on the bed and really didn't want to get up. The servants couldn't call him, so they had to run to find Gu Xingzhai. As a result, the man did not come out since he entered the bedroom, causing a group of people to stare outside.

After the butler fell, Gu Xingzhai dismissed most of the servants in the Gu residence, leaving only a few old people who had been staying here since their father first arrived in Qingxie Town. Anyway, there are not many people in the house who really want to serve, and there is no need to support so many people.

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

"I'm about to get up! You are Bai Rixuan & ￥%#..." The young man who wanted to continue to sleep back to sleep made a solemn protest. He grabbed it with a big hand and tucked it back into the quilt.

"Good," Gu Xingzhai leaned on his back, his dark eyes were deep and fiery, and a kiss with hot breathing gently landed on the pair of 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, he still didn't fall asleep.

By the time the two left the bedroom, it was already afternoon. Lin Xiaodong leaned on the soft couch with an expressionless face, smashing the melon seeds in his hands, watching Gu Xingzhai, who was kicked out of bed by him, perform today's 100th piece of broken boulders with his bare hands. The grievances of sleeping well were finally relieved. He clapped the residue 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, just stay in the house and spend it together. By the way, everyone will be paid twice as much this month. Go to the cashier to collect it yourself."

Several people, look at me and I look at you, cheering at the same time:

"Happy Miss!"

Seeing this, Gu Xingzhai, who was busy picking up stones with his head down, also breathed 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 banquet was very rich. As the head of the house, Gu Xingzhai 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 it for a long time, he only squeezed out the words "eat and drink well", which made everyone at the table laugh.

"Later, let's go set off fireworks together." After the young man sat down, Gu Xingzhai said to him, "What shape do you want to put on?"

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

Gu Xingzhai: ?

I'm afraid the dog could never have imagined that one day, its handsome and handsome head will appear in the New Year's Eve night sky in another world.

Seeing Lin Xiaodong beside him with a crooked smile, although Gu Xingzhai, who was unaware and felt that the dog's head was really ugly, sighed helplessly and raised his head to reveal a faint smile.

He didn't ask for much.

May the loved one be safe, every year has today, every year has today.

After the New Year, the snow and ice melted and the weather warmed up a little. Lin Xiaodong, who had been staying at home for almost a winter, was so bored that he was about to grow hair, so he thought about it, going to the town to open a free clinic at some time.

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

"No," the man said decisively, "it's too cold now, and your feet have just been healed. Are you going out now to get frostbite?"

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

"If I say no, it won't work." Gu Xingzhai's face darkened when he saw that he didn't listen to his persuasion, "Don't go, do you hear me?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Xiaodong to answer, he turned his head and instructed the servant at the gate, "Let the young lady stay in the house during this time, and don't allow him to go out, otherwise I will only ask you!"

"Gu Xingzhai, what are you doing?" Lin Xiaodong frowned, but the man just glanced at him silently, 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?"

"Everything seems to be normal at the moment," said the system, "but it seems that some unfavorable rumors are spreading quietly. Gu Xingzhai probably wants to let the rumors dissipate by cold treatment, so he grounds you."

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

"Well, maybe it's because I'm afraid you're worried?" But the system thought about Gu Xingzhai's character, and changed his words, "Maybe it's because you don't believe that he can protect you, so you can run away overnight in a hurry."

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

Is this the brain circuit that a normal person should have! ?

However, it was not the first day that Gu Xingzhai lacked a sense of security. Lin Xiaodong sighed, thinking that he wouldn't go out if he didn't go out. Anyway, the faces of those people in the town are not good-looking, and staying at home for a few more days is no big deal. .

This stay is another month.

The turmoil in the town gradually subsided, and Gu Xingzhai also acquiesced to Lin Xiaodong to go to the street again for free clinics, but only required him to be accompanied by at least one servant every time he went out.

Lin Xiaodong agreed.

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

"All right."

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

Although the old man on the bed was still in a coma, anyone with discernment could see that his face was as pale as the wall paint just now. The old man's sons and daughters stood by, overjoyed and thankful, but Lin Xiaodong just waved his hands pale, and stood up slowly with the edge of the bed, looking like he was exhausted.

"Miss, are you alright?"

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

"It's okay, I'm just tired." Lin Xiaodong settled down.

Before he came to this world, he knew nothing of medical skills, and he couldn't even tell the difference between hot and cold cold medicines. Although with the help of the system, it was not a problem to diagnose and prescribe medicines, but traditional acupuncture still needed his own treatment. Learn little by little. This is all real work, and there is no way to let the system help cheat.

He rejected the gift money and red envelope prepared by the patient's family, and walked out of the door under the watchful eyes of everyone, but what came on was a pot of black dog blood. Fortunately, Lin Xiaodong reacted quickly, and turned sideways to dodge in time, so that he didn't get poured on his face.

But Rao was so, half of his body was also splashed with dirt, and his already drowsy head was smoked by the irritating smell, and his head became even more dizzy.

Lin Xiaodong retched on the spot, and the servant rushed out from behind and said sternly, "Who did it!? Get out of here!"

No one dared to admit it.

But in the crowd, someone shouted loudly: "The demon is too good to die!" It immediately caused an uproar.

The townspeople present have more or less heard the rumor that was circulated some time ago, and looking at Lin Xiaodong's current reaction to the black dog's blood, they all doubted in their hearts--

Are the rumors true?

Even the family members of the patient who had just been cured just stood in the back and watched from a distance, not stepping forward to say a single word for him. When the servants saw that they were weak and weak, and they were pointed at them for doing good deeds, their face was flushed with anger, but Lin Xiaodong grabbed him.

"Miss, I..."

"Go home first." The young man interrupted him, his voice weak.

"......Yes."

The servant helped him reluctantly to get on the rickshaw, and glared at the crowd behind him: "The wolf-like thing! Sooner or later, he will be punished!" Then he quickly left the town with Lin Xiaodong. superior.

Since that day, the gate of Gu's residence has been closed, and no one has ever interacted with him again.

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

"Mr. Gu, Miss Lin, I came to remind the two of you at the order of my master."

On this day, it was rare for a guest to come to the long-closed Gu Mansion.

But his expression was serious, and what he brought was not some long-lost good news, but a warning: "Now that the situation has evolved to an uncontrollable level, in addition to those idiots, there are also people above. If you have relatives from other provinces, Mr. Gu should leave this place as soon as possible."

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

"A little courtesy, even if my master practiced it for the two of you." He said, "Master said, the two men are talented and beautiful, and they should be a good story. From now on, there will be a 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 is waived. Give me a message to Mr. Huang, and I will say today's favor, and Gu has written it down."

After seeing off the guests, Gu Xingzhai dismissed the servants and paid them three years' salaries. Then, he packed up the valuables at home and prepared to leave Qingxie Town with Lin Xiaodong early tomorrow morning.

However, just in the dead of night, a team of hundreds of people set out from Qingxie Town, holding torches, 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 the demon!"

Before leaving, the cloth shop owner drank a bowl of wine in order to strengthen his courage, and now the wine was rushing over his head. He shouted angrily and slammed the door: "Come out! -"

With only a "squeak" sound, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

The cloth shop owner's fist accidentally smashed into the air, and he almost stumbled to his knees at the foot of the person who came.

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

The man faced a group of menacing townspeople with torches in their hands, and asked in a calm and indifferent voice, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

"You-" The cloth shop owner hated his teeth, but then remembered how many people they were, and suddenly became proud, "Didn't you just say, let you hand over the monster hidden at home! Look at Master Gu For the sake of it, as long as you obediently obey the arrangement, everyone won't take anything against you. If you don't listen..."

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

The cloth shop owner shuddered subconsciously: "Yes... then even if you deliberately hide the demon charm, the government will not spare you lightly! The light will be raiding the house, and the heavy will be beheading!"

"Really," Gu Xingzhai said indifferently, "Then please come back, there is no demon in my house."

"If you don't have it, then there's nothing?" The cloth shop owner narrowed his eyes. He thought of the treasures that the Gu family had saved over the years, and his heart was itching. "I don't believe it, unless you let us go in and have a look!"

"Yes!" "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 while, Gu Xingzhai couldn't tell whether he was facing a human or a demon.

He sighed, knowing that he couldn't be kinder today.

"Xiaodong," the man suddenly turned his head and asked, "Would you like to come with me? Even if you've been to those days when you lived all over the world and lived in no fixed place?"

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

Under the unbelievable gaze of the cloth shop owner, the young man wearing a cloud-blue robe calmly walked to Gu Xingzhai's side and stood side by side with him. The youth's brows and eyes are curved, without fear, as if they are not facing a group of thugs with bad intentions, but the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

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