After Tao Mo returned to the county government office, he was full of worries.
Hao Guozi took the medicine, her face was smeared black, and she was not in a good mood. After he finished grinding the ink, seeing Tao Mo still holding the pen motionless for a long time, he couldn't help but said: "Master is still thinking about that Yi Yu?" He felt very uncomfortable. I received a slap like this, but I didn't expect that the young master not only didn't stand up for him, but also always missed him.
Tao Mo hesitated and asked, "What do you think of Yiyu?"
Hao Guozi was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "What? How sad was it at that time? It was just ordinary! Now it’s fake compassion, fake or not?”
Tao Mo was silent. He felt that what Yiyu said while lying on the bed was not hypocritical, perhaps because he had seen his past scenery, so seeing his fields today, he could not help feeling pity.
"Young Master, you won't be able to let him go, will you?"
Tao Mo shook his head slowly, and said, "Even a stranger would be moved by seeing this situation...not to mention that I am the magistrate of this county."
"Compassion?" Hao Guozi said angrily, "Master, you are not worried that he will seek death, are you? Don't worry, a person like him dares to do anything, but he dare not seek death. Young Master, you should worry about him." .”
Tao Mo sighed.
Hao Guozi said: "Master, if you have time to think about him, you might as well think about how to explain to Mr. Gu when you go back."
Tao Mo's hand holding the pen froze, and the ink finally fell down the pen tip and dripped onto the paper. He watched the bit of ink slowly fade away, and suddenly said: "I think we should move back to the county government."
Hao Guozi frowned and said, "It's fine, how could the young master think of moving out?"
Tao Mo said: "I'm always bothering him, I feel really bad." The matter of Yiyu had nothing to do with Gu She, so he shouldn't be involved. "What's more, I am the magistrate of a county after all, so it's not appropriate to live in other people's mansion all the time."
"Young master, are you willing?" Hao Guozi hit him with one blow.
Tao Mo was indeed reluctant. Thinking of not being able to eat and play chess with Gu She at the same table every night in the future, my heart feels like being pricked by countless small needles. But from the moment Wan Feng's body appeared, he had a faint feeling that the old things that once involved him were about to gather again, and if he stayed like this, he might implicate Gu She. Yiyu and Pengxiang are not a big deal, but they are like a primer, bringing out the past grievances and resentments.
Thinking of Huang Guangde's method, he held the pen holder and hesitated for a while, then wrote down with a ruthless heart, and drew a long horizontal line, "Move it out."
Hearing that he was going to move back to the county government, the happiest person was Lao Tao.
He immediately said: "The roof has been repaired. I will have someone clean it again immediately."
Hao Guozi said: "The young master's luggage is still in the Gu residence, should I send someone to pick it up, or..."
Tao Mo hurriedly said, "I'll get it myself." He secretly imagined Gu She's reaction after hearing this, maybe angry, maybe indifferent, or maybe trying to persuade him to stay
… He quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. Should it be indifference? Gu She seldom gets angry. But, why does he secretly hope that Gu She is angry
With such anxiety and anxiety, Tao Mo contacted repeatedly on the road to talk. After finally arriving at Gu's residence, it happened that Gu She was not around.
Tao Mo's uneasy heart instantly relaxed, but the next moment he couldn't help worrying. Could it be because he went to Qiyu today and annoyed him, so he avoided seeing him
Seeing Tao Mo standing at the door, Hao Guozi's face changed again and again, like a revolving lantern, and said, "Master, shall we go in and pack our luggage? Or wait for Mr. Gu to come back?"
"Wait for him to come back." Tao Mo replied without thinking.
Hao Guozi thought the same, so he walked in, and after walking for a long time, he found that Tao Mo not only didn't come in, but sat down on the stone steps at the door, and hurried back, "What are you doing sitting here, master?"
"Wait for him to come back." Tao Mo took it for granted.
Hao Guozi said: "Here, it's the same as going inside and waiting."
Tao Mo said, "I want to wait here."
"..." At first, he was worried whether Tao Mo left the Gu's residence because he was moved by Yi Yu, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all. He sighed and sat down.
"You don't have to wait here with me." Tao Mo said.
Hao Guozi said: "You are the young master. Where is the reason for the young man to sit inside when the young master is at the door?"
Sitting here alone, Tao Mo also felt a little lonely, so he acquiesced.
After sitting for a while, Hao Guozi felt the chilly air on the ground coming in from below. In addition, the road in front of Gu's house was blown by wind from time to time, which made her feel even more chilly, and her straight spine became more and more cold. The more it bends, the whole person is almost hugged into a ball.
Tao Mo couldn't bear to see it, and said, "You go in first."
Hao Guozi rubbed her hands, "Young Master, isn't it cold?"
Tao Mo shook his head and said, "It's not cold." He felt that he was already stiff.
Hao Guozi reached out and touched his hand, and was startled by the cold, "Master, you should go inside and wait."
Tao Mo shook his head stubbornly.
Hao Guozi sighed, turned and went back to the room to get the stove.
Tao Mo patted his leg lightly.
The sound of hooves approached. Gu She's carriage slowly approached from a distance.
Tao Mo wanted to stand up immediately, but he couldn't control his feet. He tried twice before he stood up tremblingly.
The carriage stopped in front of him, and when Gu Xiaojia saw him, his anger was still lingering, he snorted coldly, got out of the car and opened the door.
Gu She got down from the car calmly, as if it made no difference whether he was there or not.
Tao Mo's body froze, and he said with a smile, "Young Master Gu."
Gu She said, "Are you here to pack your luggage?"
Although he was indeed here to pack his luggage, Tao Mo felt as if ice water had been poured on his heart when he heard Gu She's straightforward order to evict him, making him want to shiver.
Gu Xiaojia is so clever. Seeing his pale face, he immediately guessed the reason, and said with a chuckle, "Your house manager said that the county government office has been repaired. Is it possible that you still want to continue to rely on it?"
Tao Mo said in a daze, "When did you meet Lao Tao? Ah, could it be..." He realized that Gu She didn't issue an order to evict guests, but went to the county government office and heard Lao Tao said that he was here to pack his luggage, so he asked this question. The blood on his face gradually returned.
Gu Xiaojia didn't want her sarcasm to help him, so she stared at him unwillingly.
Tao Mo said to Gu She: "I've been bothering you these few days, I..." His body trembled slightly.
"Come in." Gu She interrupted him and walked inside.
Gu Xiaojia made a face at Tao Mo, and immediately chased after him.
Tao Mo let out a deep breath, and subconsciously wiped away the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.
There was a stove in the study, and as soon as he entered, the frost on Tao Mo's body began to thaw slowly.
Gu Xiaojia saw that Gu She didn't intend to get angry, so he went to make tea wisely.
Tao Mo watched Gu She sit down on his own, and looked at his face uneasily.
"What did you want to say just now?" Gu She raised his eyes.
Seeing that he was finally willing to look at him, Tao Mo felt relieved a little, and said calmly, "I've been bothering you in Gu's residence for so long, it's time to go back to the county government office." He sneaked a glance at him.
Gu She was noncommittal.
"And Yiyu..." Tao Mo stopped, as if he was considering his words.
Gu She was not in a hurry, and let him think slowly.
"He, he is also a poor man." Tao Mo desperately recalled the words he had thought up on the carriage, but he couldn't remember anything at the moment, so he could only think while talking, "But what happened in the past, did he live in Tanyang County? , I am always responsible to him."
Gu She raised his eyebrows and said, "Responsibility?"
With just such a glance, Tao Mo strangely understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "It's the county magistrate's responsibility. Besides, Wanfeng's death is full of strangeness. I have to take care of it until the matter is clearly investigated." Him a little."
Gu She said: "What does this have to do with leaving the Gu residence?"
Tao Mo said, "I know you don't like him."
Gu She was silent.
Tao Mo said in a low voice: "If I'm not here, he won't come."
"Then who will I play chess with in the future?" Gu She asked.
Tao Mo was taken aback, his heart jumped wildly, and he looked at Gu She without blinking. He couldn't see himself, so he didn't know how bright his eyes were at this moment, which was enough to dispel all the gloom.
Gu She faced the light directly, "Huh?"
