After leaving the Songhe Hall, Shu Huan and Gu Xiran glanced at each other, seeing each other's slightly red and swollen eyes, and their exhausted and haggard faces that had not slept all night, they both smiled helplessly.
Gu Da's words are actually irrelevant to them. After all, they have only met strangers once or twice. What he says, they don't take it seriously at all. Besides, they have always been insignificant existences in the Gu family. After a few days, I've gotten used to it, but the Gu family provided them with food and clothing, which is considered kind to them after all, and the Fang family has always been kind to them, so even though they didn't have the heart to take care of things, they were also kind to Gu Xitian's funeral. There is no thought of completely sitting on the sidelines.
It's just that they can't help much, and they can do it with small help.
Shu Huan called Jingmei to invite Ji Danqing, and asked Aunt Yun to pick out the precious tonics that the old lady gave her last time, and send some suitable ones to Fang's side.
After the assignment was over, the two of them were planning to take a few steps in the garden to take a break, relax their tired bodies from the carriage, and then go back to close the door to catch up on sleep, when they heard someone calling and chasing after them.
Shu Huan looked back, as expected, there was no one else except Gu Xihe.
As soon as Gu Xihe caught up with him, he gasped and said, "You guys are finally back. These days, I'm so bored."
"Bored?" Gu Xiran glanced at him: "Aren't you sad at all when elder brother passed away?"
"Don't be funny, I'll be sad if you die. Eldest brother doesn't kiss us, so I'll be a little sad..." In the middle of talking, Gu Xihe saw that Gu Xiran was looking at him with some unkind eyes, so he quickly changed his mouth and said, "I'm not Curse you intentionally, you can treat me as a fart."
Gu Xiran remained silent.
"Are you sad?" Gu Xihe scratched his head in wonder, and suddenly said: "That's right, you two were born of the same mother...you should still treat me as farting. Actually, I am also very sad. Is he My elder brother, Qiu was eating together that night, and he gave me half a moon cake, and advised me not to tease those old men all the time, but to study hard, although it sounded a bit annoying, I even made a face at him and ran away , but now that I think about it..."
He suddenly stopped talking, just turned his face away and sniffled, before saying after a long while: "I knew it would happen, so I'll be patient and listen to him finish his sentence that day."
really still a child
Gu Xiran was silent when he heard the words, he didn't say what he wanted to say, he just reached out and stroked his head gently.
Just let him continue to live with such a true temperament. All the sorrows and joys are naturally expressed in the heart. Don't learn from him, don't learn from the majority of the Gu family. They are obviously not very sad, but they have to wear it. Put on a false mask to avoid all kinds of trouble and gossip.
Shu Huan also felt something in his heart, but he was more or less happy for Gu Xihe. At least under the pampering of his elders, he could continue to live a pure and straightforward life for a few more years. He didn't have to leave the original world like her. After being separated from the loved ones who doted on him, and after suffering a few losses, he gradually became like a hedgehog, always on guard whenever something happened.
If this is the only way to grow up, she would rather never grow up, and continue to enjoy that heartless, carefree happiness.
"Hey, why don't you talk?" Gu Xihe's distress came and went quickly, after all, he and Gu Xitian were not very close, and he was very dissatisfied with Gu Da doting on him and always teaching himself a lesson, Lin, the takeaway, also often complained, which made him feel vaguely jealous and hostile towards the deceased brother.
"I'm thinking about something." Gu Xiran looked at him, and suddenly asked casually, "What kind of horse did elder brother ride when he went out yesterday?"
Gu Xihe scratched his head: "What other horse can he ride, isn't it the Jueying he raised himself? It's a pity to say that, I've wanted to ride that horse for a long time, but I won't have the chance again in the future. I heard After the elder brother fell off the horse, Jueying also fell to the ground, maybe he could be saved, but the master immediately asked someone to kill it, probably because he hated it for killing the elder brother."
Gu Xiran was still pondering, and he continued, "There is something very strange."
Shu Huan was wondering why Gu Xiran asked about Ma, and when he heard this, he casually said, "What's the matter?"
Gu Xihe frowned and said: "Jueying's sex is very gentle. When my eldest brother raised it, people often let people beat gongs and set off cannons. Even if someone suddenly yelled in its ear, it would not be frightened and run away. , so when I heard that my elder brother fell off his horse and died because of Jueying's fright, I felt a little strange. Later, I asked the young man present to ask him, and he swore that before Jueying suddenly lost control and ran wildly, there was no People startled it, and nothing unusual happened, so I thought it was even more strange."
This matter sounds a bit interesting, Shu Huan hurriedly asked: "Didn't other people notice this strange thing?"
"I don't know." Gu Xihe shook his head and said: "Anyway, the master doesn't like to raise horses, and he only takes a car when he goes out. Besides, the death of his eldest brother has hit him hard. How can he care about these things? The rest is to go out with him." The accountant and the boy are gone, but I haven't heard them mention this strange thing."
When he said this, there was a bit of mystery in this seemingly accidental incident.
Shu Huan and Gu Xiran looked at each other, their expressions became a little serious.
Gu Xiran asked: "Have you ever told others about this?"
"No." Gu Xihe said angrily: "Didn't you just remember this when you asked, who can I tell, the whole house is busy with the funeral of elder brother, everyone has a stinky face crying like hell, Even if I couldn't cry, I was scolded by the old lady and scolded several times by the master, and if I brought up this unimportant matter again, wouldn't it be just asking for a beating?"
inconsequential
If the reason why the horse was frightened could not be found, or if there was a human factor, then Gu Xitian's fall from the horse was not an accident, and this clue was very important, not an insignificant matter.
It's just that someone wanted to harm Gu Xitian
This inference seems a bit outrageous.
Shu Huan asked, "Does your elder brother have any enemies outside?"
Gu Xihe looked at her contemptuously: "You should ask the master or sister-in-law about this kind of thing, how would I know?"
After finishing speaking, he was suddenly a little stunned. He looked at Shu Huan, and then at Gu Xiran who was silent: "Hey, what are you thinking? Why are you asking Big Brother if he has any enemies? Could it be..."
He frowned and thought hard.
Gu Xiran glanced at him: "We didn't think about anything, but we suddenly wanted to know more about eldest brother, so we asked a question casually."
For such a complicated and uncertain matter, don't drag the little kid to worry about it together. Besides, even if Gu Xitian has some enemies, it seems that it is not easy to move some subtle tricks on the horse. .
Well, it's worth a closer look.
Children are not necessarily easy to deceive sometimes.
Seeing him pondering, Gu Xihe glanced at him suspiciously, as if he didn't quite believe the explanation he gave.
