Chapter 72 The Wife Disguised as a Woman

Gu Xingzhai never dreamed of it.

In the middle of the night, the arrow was on the string, and when the atmosphere was just right, there was a sudden shout of tension, excitement and righteousness outside the door--

"Senior brother, let's go to the water!!!"

But when Gu Xingzhai and the other sleeping guests put on their coats and hurried out the door, they looked around at a loss, only to see a coke mark on the floor of the corridor that was not much bigger than a cigarette butt.

The man saw that the little spark was stepped on, and there was only a wisp of slender and long blue smoke left, and almost didn't make his nose crooked: "Qi Xiaoliu! You don't sleep in the middle of the night. , What are you howling blindly? This is also called running water?"

"I, I'm not taking precautions before it happens." Xiao Liu scratched his head, hehe laughed, and kept looking into the room behind him with a pair of tricks.

Seeing him like this, what else does Gu Xingzhai not understand?

He was speechless to Yue, and after a long sigh, he wiped his face vigorously, then picked up Xiao Liu's collar with one hand, and threw the stinky boy back to his room.

"Senior brother, you can't bully Young Master Lin anymore!" Qi Xiaoliu shouted in a panic behind him.

Gu Xingzhai paused in footsteps, and couldn't bear to turn his head and asked, "You are fourteen this year, and you are not at an age where you don't understand anything. Didn't Master take you to the kiln to hunt monsters? The arrow is on the string and you have to send it, you really know everything. do not know?"

"What's the matter with Yaozi and Jian?" Xiao Liu wondered, but looking at the expression on Gu Xingzhai's face, he finally realized, "Oh, brother, so you were just..." He coughed and blushed. Only then did he realize what stupid thing he had done, but he still asked Gu Xingzhai in a low voice, "Then, senior brother, did your arrow fire or not?"

Gu Xingzhai took a deep breath.

After a while, the sound of Qi Xiaoliu's ghost crying and wolf howling came from the room.

After beating up the disobedient little boy, Gu Xingzhai clapped his hands and returned to the room with a cold face.

A sullen laughter came from the big bed, Lin Xiaodong stuck his head out of the bed, looked at the man's face that was almost blackened, and raised his eyebrows: "You won't really do it, will you?"

"He owes a beating." Gu Xingzhai said sternly.

But his eyes involuntarily fell on the young man's red face. The dilation of the capillaries caused by the vigorous exercise made the young man look like a ripe, juicy fruit. There was soft heat from the top and bottom, and the dark kisses/marks he left when he moved/moved were vaguely visible on the white neck... Gu Xingzhai's breathing gradually became faster, he sat on the edge of the bed, and ignored Lin Xiaodong's complaints. The man fished out of the warm quilt and held it tightly in his arms.

"What's wrong?"

Feeling that the man's emotions were not right, Lin Xiaodong also stopped struggling. He was quiet for a while and asked softly.

"It's nothing," Gu Xingzhai replied in a low voice with a bit of depression, "Don't move, just let me hold it for a while."

Lin Xiaodong sighed.

After all, Gu Xingzhai in this world is just a twenty-five-year-old young man.

After three years of turmoil, he went home for the funeral, and now the burden of revitalizing his division is on him again... It's no wonder that he often can't sleep in the middle of the night recently, secretly holding himself in his arms.

"Don't worry," he said, "I'll always be here with you."

"......real?"

"Really," Lin Xiaodong paused and added, "In short, I can't be the one who misses the appointment first."

The system silently listened to their conversation in the void, and suddenly understood why Lin Xiaodong said that. Because in his thinking, leaving this world is equivalent to death, and death is a force majeure, so it can't be considered a missed appointment.

It's just that not everyone in this world thinks the same as him. Perhaps in Gu Xingzhai's heart, this promise means forever.

The man stepped back a little distance, and suddenly looked into Lin Xiaodong's eyes, and said, "When the junior brothers and the others come, let's have a wedding."

"wedding?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaodong was really stunned.

Although Gu Xi had proposed to him in the first world, it was a proposal after all, and it was different from a real wedding. I don't know why, but when Lin Xiaodong thinks of this word, Lin Xiaodong is inexplicably repelled: "What kind of wedding are two men having... they will be laughed at."

"We only invite our own people. As for the opinions of others, it's up to them." The more Gu Xingzhai said, the more he felt that his idea was a good one. , "Do you have any relatives or friends? It doesn't matter if it's a monster, or we can have one in each of the two places..."

"I don't have any relatives or friends, so you think too much." Lin Xiaodong broke free from his embrace and turned to avoid the man's gaze, "I just don't want to get married. Isn't that bad? There are no restraints."

Seeing him like this, Gu Xingzhai's fiery heart gradually cooled down.

"Don't you want to," he murmured, his eyes lowered, "well then."

Seeing the man's inexplicably pitiful look, Lin Xiaodong sighed and softened a bit: "No, it's just not the time. Look, my wanted order is still hanging on the city wall. Not wanted by the government, but they must have been eyeing you too."

"Then when the limelight is over, we'll get married!" Gu Xingzhai's eyes lit up and he immediately said.

Lin Xiaodong: "..."

He closed his mouth and thought to himself, forget it, let him go.

Anyway, by then, he should have left this world long ago.

"I don't understand," said the system, "why are you so resistant to such a ceremony that has no contractual effect? ​​You agreed very readily when Gu Xi proposed to you."

"Proposal and marriage are different." Lin Xiaodong just said lightly.

But in fact, he was also a little surprised, obviously the thought system in his head should know, but it asked this question as if he didn't notice it.

It seems that the system's detection of the host's thoughts is still limited, he thought.

Otherwise, the system should have understood long ago why it rejected marriage so much.

Lin Xiaodong has often had a dream intermittently since he had not yet crossed over. In the dream, he not only married a man whose face could not be seen clearly, but even became a family and adopted a dog named Lin Puppy together. Pets - yes, Erha, the same breed as Lin Puppy in the first world.

It stands to reason that for Lin Xiaodong, who has long known that he likes men, this should be a sweet dream.

But the dream is always intermittent, and under these warm appearances, the only thing he can feel is boundless despair. This feeling of suffocation like drowning even made Lin Xiaodong wonder if he had some kind of psychological problem, but before he could figure out the truth, the system came and took him to the first world .

And after meeting Gu Xi, Lin Xiaodong never had that dream again.

"Anyway," he pulled his thoughts out of his memories and said to the system in a positive tone, "I probably won't marry anyone in this life. Even if he has eight pack abs...emmm, Neither."

The system is silent.

"Then it seems that your determination is indeed very strong." It said sincerely.

After all, the only thing that can make Lin Xiaodong give up the temptation of eight-pack abs is probably only the yellow sponge cube with dozens of holes.

The next evening.

"Senior Brother Gu!" "Senior Brother!"

Hearing the sound coming from the door of the inn, Gu Xingzhai, who was talking to Lin Xiaodong in the lobby, was stunned for a moment. Hearing the sound, he saw the four junior brothers standing neatly at the door, looking at him excitedly.

"You guys..." Gu Xingzhai blinked, suppressing his inner excitement, walked over and hugged them hard, "It's fine!"

"Senior brother, we all miss you," an older boy with freckles on his cheeks sniffed and looked at Gu Xingzhai with red eyes, he was the third in the division, "If it weren't for the second Persuade me to discuss after you come back, I will kill that dog now %¥#..."

"What are you talking about!" Gu Xingzhai covered his mouth and frowned, "At the foot of the Imperial City, you need to be smarter."

The freckled youth responded reluctantly, "I know, Senior Brother."

"By the way, where is Xiaoliu?" asked the second child standing next to him. He is the oldest here besides Gu Xingzhai, he looks to be in his early twenties, he wears a simple linen gown, his facial features are straight, and when he speaks, he seems to have a dignified and righteousness.

"This stinky boy left a note and ran out of the house without saying a word. We have been looking for him for almost half a month, and we haven't even slept well!" The fourth child said angrily, and the fifth nodded immediately, "That's right, This time, we must take care of him well!"

The two of them are twins, and they look almost exactly the same. No one can tell them apart except Gu Xingzhai, so they are also very convinced of Gu Xingzhai, even more respectful than their master.

"Upstairs, I guess I didn't dare to come down when I heard your voice." Gu Xingzhai said with his lips hooked.

There are so many people here, it's hard to talk about things. A few people went back to the room on the second floor together, but they were surprised to find that in addition to their brothers and sisters, a handsome young man with phoenix eyes also walked in.

The second child frowned, looked at Lin Xiaodong, and then at Gu Xingzhai, who had an indifferent expression, and was the first to ask, "Senior brother, is he...?"

Gu Xingzhai took the young man's hand and said to the four disciples with different expressions in front of him, "This is the person I have identified in my life, Lin Xiaodong."

The third child with a smart head was the first to react: "Is he the succubus who was offered a reward of fifty gold by the government?"

"Yes." Gu Xingzhai nodded.

Several people looked at each other.

Although I am very happy that the senior brothers can find the other half, their prejudice against the bewitching in this profession is indeed very large, and it is impossible to say that there is no pimple in my heart.

But they are all grown ups after all. Unlike the sixth child who is still a child, they can speak straight, so in the end, the second child is the representative to say: "Congratulations. But senior brother, are you sure he can be trusted?"

Gu Xingzhai: "I can guarantee it with my life."

The second child sighed: "Okay, then since that's the case, we won't say anything as junior brother, senior brother, you can know what you have in mind."

The third child pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

He just glanced at Lin Xiaodong with cold eyes, but got a gentle smile from the young man, and couldn't help but look slightly startled.

In fact, from the moment he entered the inn, he spotted Lin Xiaodong sitting in the lobby at a glance. Without him, the young man's appearance is really too eye-catching, maybe he doesn't know it, but whether it is upstairs or downstairs, everyone is watching him intentionally or not. The third one thought he was a succubus caught by Gu Xingzhai, but he didn't expect that they had such a relationship.

"But Senior Brother, can humans and demons be together?" The fourth child couldn't help asking.

"Why not?" Before Gu Xingzhai could answer, Lin Xiaodong asked back. This stopped the fourth question, he was dumbfounded for a moment, and a little embarrassed, he said: "I'm not asking you! Besides, the person asking the question is me, okay?"

"Fourth!"

The second and the fifth looked at him disapprovingly at the same time, but Lin Xiaodong was not angry at his offense, just smiled and said to Gu Xingzhai: "I'll go to Xiaoliu's room for a while, you two can talk slowly. ."

Looking at the back of him leaving, Gu Xingzhai's eyes sank slightly.

Although he didn't say anything, the fourth child felt a little uneasy in his heart. He bravely didn't admit his mistake, but when the second brother and the others discussed with Gu Xingzhai, the young man clenched the teacup in his hand and didn't say a word the whole time.

After dinner in the evening, he "passed" Lin Xiaodong's side, hummed and said a quick sentence, and then ran away quickly. Lin Xiaodong blinked and stood there thoughtfully. Gu Xingzhai thought that the fourth child was rude to him again, so he walked over and asked, "What did this stinky boy say to you again?"

"It's nothing," Lin Xiaodong came back to his senses and smiled, "He said, although he hates monsters, but for your sake, if there is danger, he will give his life to protect me."

"...this stinky boy."

This time, Gu Xingzhai's voice contained a bit of helplessness and pride. Lin Xiaodong knew when he looked at him like that, why did he take care of these boys as juniors? Apparently he was an apprentice!

"All of you are good at kung fu. If you stay in the inn for a long time, you will inevitably be targeted by people who care," he advised. "If there is nothing else, you should leave Beijing as soon as possible."

Gu Xingzhai nodded solemnly.

Taking advantage of this period of time, he has traveled all over the capital, not only inquired about the ins and outs of Master's visit to the forbidden area, but also took back all the relics he left with his friends. Counting the days, it's time to leave this place.

"I went to the blacksmith to ask before, the sword for Xiaoliu is almost ready, and it is estimated that it will be available tomorrow morning." He said, "When we go back to the suburbs of Beijing to visit Master's grave, we will get married."

Seeing the man so obsessed, Lin Xiaodong was powerless to refuse.

He also couldn't understand why Gu Xingzhai was so obsessed with getting married?

"It's up to you." In the end, that was all he could say.

However, the night before they left, they saw two familiar faces near the inn - the gray-robed Taoist priest, and his disciple who finally put on new clothes.

"Hey, don't go!" Seeing that Gu Xingzhai was pulling Lin Xiaodong away from them, the gray-robed Taoist immediately ran over, shouting, "I'm not a beast, nor am I here to arrest your officers and soldiers, what are you running for? "

Because meeting you must be bad, Lin Xiaodong secretly said.

Obviously, Gu Xingzhai agreed with him, but out of respect for his senior, he still stopped and asked politely, "I wonder what your senior is doing?"

"It's nothing expensive," the gray-robed Taoist rubbed his nose embarrassedly, "Actually, I just want to apologize to you."

"......Oh?"

"Hey, isn't this when I and Tu'er were out there talking quickly for a while, so that the news leaked, and you can't stay in Qingxie Town." The gray-robed Taoist said, "I don't like to owe others favors. , and will not take the initiative to harm others, this is the principle of my life. But it is also a fact that we have hurt you indirectly because of our master and apprentice, so I want to come and say sorry to you. "

Gu Xingzhai frowned, "Then how did you find us?"

He knew that there was a spell in Xuanmen called tracing a thousand miles, so he deliberately set the Gu family's mansion on fire before leaving, just to prevent someone from locating Lin Xiaodong's belongings to where they were. But Qingxie Town is thousands of miles away from the capital. If the gray-robed Taoist priests didn't use spells, how did they know they were here?

"It's a coincidence that when our master and apprentice were resting in the wilderness, they suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. Following the smell, they found a few drops of dried blood." The gray-robed Taoist spoke eloquently. "At that time, I immediately reacted, this thing should be Meixiang, I tried to use the tracking technique to explore, and found that the place it pointed was in the capital, so I followed the blind cat and killed the mouse, and I found it here. you."

Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Gu Xingzhai with a dignified expression: "Could it be the arrow from Xiaoliu..."

Gu Xingzhai nodded: "I'm afraid yes."

He was a little annoyed. At that time, he was only worried about Lin Xiaodong's injury, but he forgot to deal with the blood.

"Don't worry, just in case, I have already burned the tree." The gray-robed Taoist said proudly, "But if anyone has found bloodstains before this, then I don't know."

"Anyway, thank you so much, senior." Gu Xingzhai threw his hands at him, and the gray-robed Taoist waved his hands again and again, "If you can't do it, you can't do it, don't thank me, it's just that we are even!"

After sending the master and apprentice away, Lin Xiaodong said, "It seems that our whereabouts have been discovered."

Gu Xingzhai didn't say anything, but he thought so too.

Otherwise, the world is so big that it is impossible for them to leave Qingxie Town. Nothing happened along the way, but when they reached the capital, they were offered a reward - the person who offered the reward probably didn't know their exact location, but they must know that they are here. near the capital.

"Let's leave the city tomorrow." Gu Xingzhai said immediately.
