Chapter 668: Abandoned Son - Hegemony (32)
Seeing that Gu Yuxi didn't say anything, Wu Chengyin could only resign himself to picking up the two parrots on the ground and changing the subject: "I'll help you, don't dirty your hands."
"No need, you just coughed up blood, your body..."
"Xier, are you concerned about me?" the man said expectantly, throwing the parrot casually on the side of the table.
"No! Don't be so conceited." Gu Yuxi refused, but the man took the pill and stuffed it into the black cat's mouth.
He laughed at himself: "Even if it's just wishful thinking, I admit it."
"You...whatever you want!"
Gu Yuxi turned over the black dog that had been given medicine, and began to prick the acupuncture points with a silver needle. After a few simple injections, he switched to the parrot and continued.
In less than a moment, all three animals woke up. The black cat wagged its tail frantically at Gu Yuxi, and when it saw a stranger, it yelled at the other person.
"You're making so much noise just after waking up. I guess you don't want to wake up anymore?"
woo woo woo...
The black cat hid at Gu Yuxi's feet, looking at the man warily. A familiar wave made it run over excitedly and wag its tail.
The sober parrot sang: Ran away again!
Ran!
There were two annoying onlookers nearby, so Gu Yuxi said, "I'll continue to fetch water today, and you follow me. If you have a day off, you two will go out and beg for food for the rest of your lives."
Seeing the two children holding the buckets resigned to their fate, Wu Chengyin tried to plead: "Xi'er, these children are naughty..."
"You also know that children are naughty. I am teaching my son a lesson, why do you, an outsider, butt in on the subject? Do you want to accompany them to fetch water?"
"I……"
"That's enough. After saying so much, you're still disliked." The woman said in an annoyed tone.
The man holding the black cat said aggrievedly: "I want to go down the mountain to find medicine. My neck and shoulders hurt."
Gu Yuxi looked at the man's neck, which was covered with purple and red marks. Her ears turned red because she could vaguely see the bite marks on the man's shoulder through his clothes.
"Is it okay? I know you don't like me, but I still say what I said six years ago. As long as you ask, I will be responsible to the end."
"Whatever you want, don't bother me after we get down the mountain, Black Cat, show me off."
"Xi'er, I'm not leaving, I'm..."
boom--
The door was closed, and Wu Chengyin could only stare at the door in a daze. He said to the room, "I'll be back soon. I won't disturb you."
The black cat led the way, and when Wu Chengyin was about to leave the courtyard, he looked back and left reluctantly.
Looking out from the courtyard gate, the mountains are brilliant, and the balsams and eight-immortals on the roadside are in full bloom.
Wu Chengyin was cautious and followed the black cat patiently, but he didn't expect that there was something fishy going on. This step was similar to the Void Formation and was unpredictable.
Just when he reached the middle of the road, two small figures carrying water came flying up the stone steps. He made way and was almost hit by a three-leaf dart.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Wu Chengyin saw his subordinates standing by the river, at a loss.
"Master, you are back. The young masters were just fetching water from the river. No matter how I questioned them, they didn't say a word. It was frustrating."
"Luckily you're back, otherwise we were going to send soldiers to clean up this place."
"My Lord, what happened to your neck? Did you get bitten by a poisonous insect in the mountains? It's all black."
Wu Chengyin subconsciously touched his neck and said, "Prepare some clean clothes for me right away."
Hei Yi said: "Master, these are the wild fruits I just picked. We have run out of dry food, and the people who bought the food have not returned yet."
"But are there more?"
"Oh, Master, you must want to bring some for the young masters. I will go pick them right away."
Wu Chengyin, who was sitting nearby, applied some ointment on his neck, and frequently looked towards the yard hidden behind the mountain flowers.
Seeing his master in a daze, a follower asked: "Master, is there anyone else inside, old people or children, children or..."
"That's enough! I don't have much time. You guys continue to build a small yard here, and you guys go catch some game for me."
"Yes!" Seeing Wu Chengyin so anxious, everyone immediately took action, some packed their clothes, some started hunting.
After Gu Renyuan and Gu Hongdao went down the mountain seven or eight times, Wu Chengyin's things were finally ready. He followed the two brothers up the mountain, carrying large and small bags of things.
"Xier, I'm back." Wu Chengyin said to the woman who was embroidering under the shade of the tree, but she didn't respond. He didn't get angry and took the things into the kitchen.
"Would you like to eat something?"
The cloth was covered by a black shadow. The woman with the lotus embroidered on her head raised her head with a pair of puppy eyes full of expectation. The man in the backlight had silver hair shining and looked radiant.
At that moment, Gu Yuxi felt as if a stone had fallen into the calm lake of her heart. She looked at the egg in the man's hand, unmoved.
"I'll keep Yuan'er and Dao'er. They are at the age of growing up. You can't let the two children be punished on an empty stomach."
Seeing that the woman was still unmoved, Wu Chengyin took out another egg from his arms: "Is it enough?"
After Wu Chengyin finished speaking, he boldly took the woman's hand, placed the egg in her hand, and then walked over to pick up the rabbit on the ground that was waiting to be slaughtered.
The egg in Gu Yuxi's hand was still a little hot. The man had just taken it out of his arms. Didn't he feel it was hot?
Realizing that she cared about the man, Gu Yuxi immediately shook her head and continued embroidering.
When the aroma of sizzling barbecue wafted in, Gu Yuxi could no longer sit still. He walked over and said, "You just coughed up blood this morning. Now you're eating this kind of greasy and spicy food. Do you think your life is too long?"
"Hiss!" Wu Chengyin snorted coldly, and the three middle fingers of his right hand were burned. He raised his head and said aggrievedly: "Because you and the children like the food I cook, I thought if my cooking skills can please you, then I don't have to leave?"
Seeing the man being so cautious, Gu Yuxi could no longer say anything harsh. She could only say, "I'll burn you to death." After saying that, she walked to the pharmacy and quickly took out the medicine powder and patch.
Seeing the man in a daze, Gu Yuxi picked up his wrist and began to rub the medicated wine. Noticing that the man was gritting his teeth and persisting, she said in a calmer tone: "If it hurts, just say it. There is nothing to hide."
"Xi'er, you are so nice to me!"
The woman's hand that was applying the patch became numb for a moment. She looked up and seemed to see the man with his head down. In a trance, a pair of pink rabbit ears grew on his head. The woman reached out to touch them out of habit, but the rabbit ears disappeared.
Wu Chengyin was also startled by the woman's sudden action, but he quickly calmed down and intercepted the woman's hand in mid-air when she was about to take it back.
"Xi'er, do you dislike my silver hair?"
Gu Yuxi didn't despise him, instead she felt like he was a banished immortal from a comic book. She took her hand back and said insincerely, "No, I'm not good to you at all. I've been using you from the beginning to the end."
"That's still good for me. Why didn't you choose to use so many people, but chose me? It's because I am different in your heart, right?"
"Because you are stupid, rich, and simple-minded." The woman said as she applied the last patch and went to the pharmacy. The man behind her raised his lips slightly.
