This summer is hot.
Since May, for two months, the entire north has not had a drop of rain.
The extremely hot weather made Gu Zhili's body heavier and heavier.
Originally, I could get out of bed and walk a few steps, but when I was upset, I just yelled at a son.
By July, he had trouble getting out of bed.
The lower limbs are weak, and even if someone supports him, he cannot take a step.
He has a big temper and can't bear to be wronged. When he gets angry, he feels dizzy.
Both Gu Teng and Gu Hun followed him as much as possible.
Even so, Gu Zhili still had three meals a day. By the end of July, my originally puffy body quickly lost weight in a short period of time.
The two legs, which looked fairly strong before, were so thin that they became numb.
The skin is attached to the bone, and the blood vessels are clearly visible.
Misfortunes never come singly, Gu Zhili suffered a stroke.
The left side of the body was paralyzed, and his speech was also slurred.
Eating, drinking, and lassing require people to serve them.
Gu Cheng couldn't bear it, and decided to take Gu Zhili out for a trip.
Gu Hun stopped him, "Third Brother, you should think about it clearly, the Empress Empress will blame you..."
"If the empress is to blame, I will bear it all."
After a pause, Gu Teng said again: "He's already like this, no matter how much resentment there is, after so many years, he should calm down. And if I don't take him out, I'm afraid that he will die in peace, and the whole family will not be at peace."
When Gu Hui heard this, his whole body trembled three times.
Scary!
He sneaked a glance at the bedroom door, one day the old man died, would his soul linger? Just because he didn't take him out and didn't fulfill his wish
Gu Hun rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, "Then, then you take him out, go and come back quickly."
Gu Teng nodded heavily, "Thank you, fourth brother."
He walked into the bedroom, came to the bed, and said solemnly: "I will take you out of the house."
Gu Zhili's eyes burst out with scorching light, full of anticipation, and tears gradually filled in his eyes.
Gu Teng couldn't bear to watch, so he asked his servants to pack it up, carried it to the second door in a soft sedan, and changed the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove out of the Gu residence.
After leaving Baiyi Lane, boom... the noisy street, the hustle and bustle of people's voices hit the eardrums.
Long time no see, fireworks!
It's been a long time, Dajingcheng!
It's been a long time, and the flowers are blooming.
With the car window open, Gu Zhili greedily breathed the air in the well of the capital, and greedily looked at the world outside the car window, which was colorful and beautiful.
how beautiful!
This is real life.
He should be happy and unrestrained, even if he is not an official, he will be sought after by countless people with his status as the head of the country, and he will live a life of luxury and luxury.
However, everything is ruined!
It was destroyed in Xie's hands.
Gu Zhili gritted his teeth, wishing he could dig out Xie's corpse.
With all his strength, his right hand grasped the edge of the window.
"Father, are you okay?"
Gu Teng saw his strangeness.
Gu Zhili laughed, the lips around his mouth could not move, and saliva fell down.
The housekeeper, Gu Quan, quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it to make sure that Gu Zhili's whole body was clean.
Regardless of his old man's smell and the paralyzed half of his body, he is still a decent person.
hehe!
The only decent thing he has now is only half of his face.
Seeing his abnormal expression, Gu Cheng said, "Father, it's time for us to go home."
Gu Zhili used all his strength to firmly grasp the sleeve of the butler Gu Quan, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The butler Gu Quan bit the bullet and said to Gu Cheng: "Third Master, the old man still wants to visit Xinmin County."
Gu Cheng frowned, "What's worth seeing in Xinmin County, they are all common people."
The butler Gu Quan secretly glanced at Gu Zhili, and continued: "This is the old man's wish, please make it come true, Third Master."
Gu Ting was not too happy.
He said: "Father, let's go home! The son is worried that his father's health will not be able to bear it."
Gu Zhili turned his head abruptly, his eyes, with more white benevolence and less black benevolence, looked very strange.
"The old man is going!"
He spoke with difficulty.
Gu Cheng frowned, "It's getting late, let's go home."
After speaking, he tapped on the wall of the carriage.
The coachman turned around and prepared to go back to the mansion.
"what… "
Gu Zhili let out a loud roar, and slammed his head against the wall of the car.
boom!
bang bang!
Gu Cheng was terrified.
"Father, what are you doing?"
He hugged Gu Zhili, "Are you trying to force your son to death? Your son has the guts to take you out of the mansion, and he has offended the empress. If you take you to Xinmin County again, are you trying to make the whole family unhappy?"
Gu Zhili roared, "She is the old man's daughter, how dare she!"
He struggled to speak a complete sentence.
Gu Teng gritted his teeth, "Why didn't she dare! These years, she has come here like this. Father, don't bother, okay? There is nothing to see in Xinmin County, it is still the same, nothing more than more people. We go home, okay?"
Gu Zhili shook his head with a look of sadness and despair.
The housekeeper, Gu Quan, said cautiously: "Third Master, the old man actually wants to go to the Weishui River. You can help him! I will kowtow to you."
boom boom boom...
Gu Quan knelt down and kowtowed, the carriage seemed to be shaking.
Soon, the skin on his forehead was broken, and blood oozed out.
Gu Teng stopped him, "That's all, all that, let's go to the Weishui River. It's just this one time, it's not an example."
After ordering the coachman, the carriage slowly drove towards the city gate.
Gu Zhili finally stopped fussing, and quietly leaned against the car window, watching the scenery outside.
Gu Quan takes good care of him.
Gu Teng put his head in his hands, he felt that he had made a wrong decision.
He shouldn't be softhearted.
It's too late to regret now.
But looking at Gu Zhili's face, Gu Cheng couldn't help it.
Among the brothers, he is the softest.
Others say that he has a conscience, which is actually another way of saying it is easy to handle.
The other brothers are more cruel than him.
Gu Teng laughed at himself, he couldn't be as cruel as other brothers after all.
The carriage left the city gate and walked along the concrete official road towards the banks of the Weishui River.
The sound of water can already be heard.
You can also hear the laughter of children playing in the water.
In such hot weather, soaking in the river water must be refreshing.
The carriage was parked by the river.
Gu Zhili asked to get off the carriage.
Gu Quan hurriedly said: "The little one will carry the old man on his back and go to the river to have a look, the third master doesn't have to worry about it."
Gu Teng waved his hand, let's go.
Already here, it's good to have a look.
Gu Quan carried Gu Zhili on his back, "Old man, hold me tight. I'm going to see the mountains and rivers behind your back."
Gu Zhili let out a "hmm", and there was a gleam in his eyes, he couldn't wait any longer.
The sky was blue and white, and the weather was so hot that even standing still, one would sweat a lot.
Gu Cheng held a folding fan, stood under the shade of a tree, and watched Gu Zhili, Gu Quan, master and servant sitting by the river from afar, looking at the mountains and water.
How can they not be hot in such hot weather.
Gudong...
The movement of falling into the water.
Gu Zhili was gone!
Gu Teng was so frightened that his blood froze.
Throwing down the folding fan, he ran to the river in one breath.
Lifting Gu Quan's collar, he slapped him across the face, "Where's the old man? Where's the man?"
Gu Quan cried with a mournful face, "The old man is too tired to live, too tired! He doesn't want to live anymore, he really doesn't want to live anymore! He just wants to come out and have a look, die outside..."
"Shut up, shut up! Is he trying to kill the whole family? Hurry up and follow me into the water to save people."
Gu Cheng took off his shoes and socks, and his outer robe, and plunged into the rolling Wei River.
He regrets it!
I am extremely sorry!
His feelings were right, and he shouldn't be softhearted. He should be as hard-hearted as his brothers.
Old man, old man, you are trying to kill the whole family.
You are relieved by this jump, but the Gu family will suffer.
A word of forcing the old man to death, forcing the father-in-law to death, let the face of the Gu family and the queen's empress go.
You don't want to live anymore, you clearly want to use your own death to take revenge on everyone.
Gu Cheng's heart is cold!
The river water, scorched by the sun, could not warm him up.
The boy and the coachman jumped into the rolling river one after another.
Find people along the river.
The butler Gu Quan knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Old man, you go away! After the future generations are taken care of, the younger one will go down to find you."
He wept bitterly and convulsed.
The children playing in the water in the distance seemed to find someone falling into the water, and they also joined the search team.
The nearby villagers were alarmed and jumped into the river one after another to look for people.
Maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour...
Gu Zhili was found by Shanshui villagers and dragged back to the shore.
Gu Teng was dripping wet, climbed up in embarrassment, panting. He was almost swept away by the river too.
After two months of drought, the Wei River did not stop flowing, and the river was as fast as ever.
"Hurry up and save people!" Gu Cheng was out of breath.
"Third Master, the old man is out of breath." The boy cried with a sad face.
Gu Ting also wanted to cry.
He staggered to Gu Zhili's side, stretched out his hands, and squeezed the water in his chest.
a long time, a long time...
"Hopeless!"
"give up!"
"Take it home quickly and prepare for the funeral."
The villagers chattered.
Gu Cheng wailed loudly.
What should he do
How would he do business for the brothers, and how would he do business for the empress
He beat Gu Zhili's chest, how vicious you are!
You want to die, but you don't forget to drag the whole family to support you, you have such a vicious heart.
You are happy to die, what about the whole family
Falling into the water and dying, how do you let people outside view the Gu family
"Third Master, there are many people here, let's go back first!"
"That's right! Let people see it. If it gets out, I'm afraid it will be..."
Gu Teng wiped away tears, gritted his teeth, "Put him into the carriage, and send someone to notify the family to prepare for the funeral."
He wants to enter the palace to plead guilty.
The body was loaded into the carriage.
Only then did Gu Teng realize that Gu Quan was still kneeling by the river and kowtowing.
He rushed forward and kicked the opponent.
"If you want to die, don't drag the big guy. I treat you well, why do you want to kill us? Tell me!"
"This is the old man's wish. The young one has been serving the old man since he was a child, and has been serving him all his life. The young one cannot go against the old man's wish. Don't worry, the third master. I will go down to follow the old man after the funeral is done."
Boom!
Gu Teng punched Gu Quan in the face.
"Do you think this is so simple? You just wait to be punished by the Nine Clans!"
Gu Quan's lips moved, "Thank you, Third Master, for reminding me."
Gu Teng lifted his collar, dragged him into the carriage, and threw him to the boy.
"Tie him up, don't let him die!"
