The journey was bumpy, but Tao Mo slept surprisingly peacefully. When the carriage stopped, Gu She could even hear a slight snore.
"Master." The door was pushed open heavily.
Gu She frowned, Tao Mo sat up in shock, his eyes were full of confusion, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "Ah, are you here?"
Hao Guozi said: "It is said that it is here."
Tao Mo shrank his body and went out, stretching his feet out of the carriage, then suddenly turned his head to look at Gu She and said, "Am I just dreaming or..."
Gu She looked back at him calmly.
Tao Mo laughed a few times in disappointment, and said, "It really is a dream." He stretched his legs and was about to jump down, when he heard a leisurely voice behind him, "I'll help you."
One foot had already gone down, but the other foot was still lingering in the carriage because of these words, and the strangeness of the two feet caused Tao Mo to fall weightlessly. Fortunately, Hao Guozi was standing next to him and hurriedly supported him with his hands, saving him from falling and eating shit. Even so, it was quite embarrassing.
Tao Mo hopped on one foot several times before he landed on both feet and stood firmly. When he looked up, he saw Gu She got off the car with an elegant and comfortable posture, which was completely different from his own embarrassment. Before the joy that popped out had time to warm up, it was frozen again by the gap between the day and the place, and it didn't slow down for a long time.
Fortunately, Gu Xiaojia wasn't there, so no one made fun of him, so he finally got over there calmly.
A group of three walked downstream along the river.
Sang Xiaotu drove the carriage and followed behind them.
Hao Guozi said: "It's in the wilderness here, there are no mosquitoes, where are the passers-by? Not to mention the witnesses."
Tao Mo said: "Maybe someone is passing by, or..."
Gu She said: "When did the incident happen?"
Tao Mo had an excellent memory, and immediately recalled: "The county master mentioned it when he tried the case, it was Zishi."
Hao Guozi said: "Ha. In the middle of the night, there is no one else!"
Gu She said: "Since there is no one in the middle of the night, how could the woodcutter ambushe on the road?"
Hao Guozi was startled, and then said, "Because he's not the real murderer, he's just a scapegoat."
Gu She glanced at him lightly.
Tao Mo suddenly said: "This is a suspicious point in the case."
Hao Guozi cheered up and said, "Why don't you use it to force the county magistrate to retrial?"
Gu She said: "Not enough."
Hao Guozi sighed and said, "Who will come back to the wilderness in the middle of the night? Even if they come, I'm afraid there is something ulterior, how can they admit it?"
Tao Mo said in a daze, "Don't tell anyone? Why don't you be superior?"
Hao Guozi's ears turned red, and he said dully: "It's not often written in novels that there is no one in the middle of the night, the green grass is deep, and the white waves roll under the cold moon."
Tao Mo asked in a daze, "What does this have to do with the ulterior motives?"
Hao Guozi hesitated and couldn't handle it, so he had to look at Gu She.
Gu Shedao: "The woodcutter will be found as a scapegoat, of course there is a reason for him to be the scapegoat. He most likely lives nearby."
Hao Guozi turned his head and looked around, "If it's a woodcutter, he should live on the mountain. But what's the use of finding his residence? In this kind of place, several families won't live together, right?"
Tao Mo said: "Since you're here, why don't you take a look around, maybe there might be some clue left."
Hearing what he said, Hao Guozi had no choice but to call Sang Xiaotu down and run up the mountain together.
Tao Mo secretly looked at Gu She.
Gu She stood by the river, looking at the long river, wondering what he was thinking.
"It's a bit cold today." Tao Mo said without words.
Gu She glanced at him from the side, and responded casually.
Tao Mo's heart throbbed a little, and he was about to say something more, when he saw Gu She's expression suddenly changed, and he pushed him away suddenly.
A silver light flashed.
Tao Mo watched helplessly as blood spattered from Gu She's arm!
It's an arrow!
Tao Mo's whole body was cold, and he rushed towards Gu She without even thinking about it.
Gu She didn't seem to have thought that he would rush over without hesitation, subconsciously caught him with both hands, and then both of them fell down at the same time.
Two more arrows were shot, but they were intercepted halfway.
Gu She endured the pain and glanced to the side.
A man who came out of nowhere was attacking the archer, and the two fought inextricably.
"How are you?" Tao Mo's voice changed, trembling unreasonably.
Gu She pursed her lips, trying to calm her breath, "You... get up."
It was only then that Tao Mo noticed that he was pressing down on the other party, and hurriedly stood up, and then went to help Gu She.
Gu She was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He has always been used to being pampered, and this kind of skin trauma was the first time in his life, and he was speechless for a while.
With his expression, Tao Mo was even more nervous. He swallowed desperately, and said, "I'll take you to see a doctor."
Gu She glanced at the entangled assassin and knight, and nodded slowly.
Tao Mo immediately rushed over to catch the carriage.
In fact, he was driving a carriage for the first time since he was born. After sitting on it, he imagined the appearance of Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi, waving the reins vigorously, but the horse did not move at all. He had never hated his incompetence so much as at this moment.
"Grab the reins." Gu She frowned and came to the shaft of the carriage, and got on the carriage with one arm.
Tao Mo looked at Gu She who was close at hand, his anxiety suddenly subsided, he shook the reins, and shouted, "Drive."
The horse drove the cart forward slowly.
Although Tao Mo had an amazing memory, he fell asleep all the way here, so he quickly lost his way. Fortunately, Gu She was sitting beside him, always pointing out the direction when he was at a loss. Even so, he still took a lot of wrong roads because of poor driving.
When I arrived in neighboring counties, the streets were full of aromas of food, heavy traffic, and people coming and going.
Tao Mo became more restrained, not daring to let go of the horse's hoof. Fortunately, the medical center is not far away, Gu She didn't wait for him to stop his horse, and jumped off, which startled him into a cold sweat. After finally setting up the carriage with the help of others, Gu She's wound has been bandaged. The doctor was holding the prescription and taking the medicine. He turned around and saw him coming in. He was shocked, put down the medicine and ran over to take the pulse.
Tao Mo was taken aback by him, "What's wrong?"
The doctor said: "I see that your complexion is not good, and you are sweating profusely. You thought you had a serious illness, but it turned out to be a false alarm." He turned around and continued to grab the medicine, but was caught by Tao Mo, "How is he? Is the injury serious?"
Following his gaze, the doctor saw that Gu She was sitting calmly on a chair with his eyes closed, and said, "It's just a superficial injury, it's okay."
"But he bled a lot." Tao Mo was still worried.
Doctor Shi Shiran said: "What kind of blood is this? It can't kill people."
Tao Mo was relieved to see that his expression was relaxed and not fake.
After the doctor took the medicine and paid the money, he walked to Gu She's side, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to take a rest? Do you want to rest for a while, or go back first?"
Gu She slowly opened his eyes, stood up while pressing the armrest, and said, "Let's go."
Tao Mo saw that he was shaking, and hurriedly supported him.
Gu She shrank her arms slightly, but did not push him away after all.
Tao Mo sent him to the carriage, and carefully drove the carriage back to the inn.
Master Jin and Lao Tao had already returned, and they were shocked to see Gu She walking in with his arms wrapped.
Master Jin said: "How could this be?"
Gu She said: "Attacked."
Master Jin and Lao Tao looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Old Tao anxiously asked: "What about the young master and Hao Guozi?" In case something happened to Tao Mo, how would he explain to Master Tao in the future? Thinking of this, he only felt a rush of blood in his chest, and the bloodthirsty impulse that had been suppressed for a long time was churning like a stormy sea again.
He was feeling ruthless in his heart when he saw Tao Mo coming in from outside with a tired face.
"Master." Old Tao took a step forward, and after confirming that he was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that he came in alone. "Where is Hao Guozi?"
Tao Mo was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that Hao Guozi and Sang Xiaotu were still on the mountain, and ran out after yelling "Oops".
Lao Tao immediately chased him out.
Master Jin looked at the pale Gu She, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Gu, let's go back to the room and rest."
Gu She nodded. Even if Master Jin wants to ask something at this moment, he is too lazy to answer.
