The little maid and the maid brought back the ashes after burning with a handkerchief and brought them to Gu Jinyu.
A little handwriting could be seen on the paper ashes that had just been burned, but it was only a little bit, just enough for Gu Jinyu to recognize that it was her problem, but she couldn't spell out the complete problem-solving process.
Of course, Gu Jinyu would not have guessed that Xiao Jingkong had burned it all out with a fire, and thought that she had accidentally dropped the question paper into the paper money, causing it to be burned together with the paper money.
Thinking of this, her heart ached, she could not wait to vomit blood, and passed out on the spot! —
It was still early after dinner, and Gu Jiao planned to go for a walk on the hill she bought.
She has been going up the mountain recently when she has nothing to do. In addition to picking herbs and mushrooms, she also wrote down the topography of the entire mountain. Now she can construct a topographic map of the entire mountain with only the last bit left.
When Xiao Jingkong heard that she was going up the mountain, she tilted her head and asked her, "Can I go with Jiaojiao?"
Gu Jiao thought for a while: "Do you want to go back and see your master and brothers?"
Mainly just want to be with you, but that's okay.
Xiao Jingkong jumped off the stool and said to Gu Jiao, "Then I'll go see them."
This time, the place I went to is very close to the temple, which is actually quite the way.
Gu Jiao carried a small backpack on her own, and Xiao Jingkong looked envious, so Gu Jiao also made a small backpack for him.
The little backpack contained the gifts he brought to his friends.
There are vegetarian meatballs, fried by Gu Jiao.
There is sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which Gu Jiao bought.
There are wild fruits, which Gu Jiao picked.
Xiao Jingkong carried Gu Jiao's same small backpack on her back. She was so arrogant that she went to the old lady's house to show it off, and then ran to the next door to show it off in front of Xue Ningxiang and Gouwa.
Then the siblings set off.
Regardless of his young age and stature, Xiaojingkong can endure hardships better than most children, and he still insisted on walking down the road so far from the other side of the mountain.
When he went up the mountain, he ran forward, Gu Jiao followed him unhurriedly, and when he was halfway up the mountain, he finally exhausted his energy and collapsed on the steps, becoming a little salted fish.
Gu Jiao carried Xiao Xianyu Jingkong up the mountain.
At the entrance of the temple, Xiao Jingkong, who had recovered his strength, waved to Gu Jiao: "Jiaojiao, go and do it, I'll find Jingfan, Jingxin and Jingshan myself!"
"Yeah." Gu Jiao watched Xiao Jingkong enter the temple, greeted a monk eagerly, and called out Senior Brother Jingchen, and then she went to measure her mountain with confidence.
It cost a lot of money to buy this mountain, but the more I walked, the more Gu Jiao felt that it was worth it. I don't know how many wild medicinal herbs and beasts are scattered all over the mountains and all of them are hers.
Probably because she was lucky today, she dug up two ginseng plants on the way, neither of them were very big, and the chicken soup was enough.
For some reason, Gu Jiao suddenly remembered the trap she laid in the woods, but no one should be so unlucky this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the thought flashed, there was movement in the woods, as if something really fell.
There is the trap she once set.
"It's not so coincidental..."
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows.
Maybe a big bug
A wolf will do.
Gu Jiao went to harvest her prey with great anticipation, but went there to take a look.
Uh... This time it's a person again.
Gu Jiao was a little confused.
What she made is a trap to catch wild beasts, why is it always people who get caught
But this time it seems that it is not an ordinary person, but a monk.
He was wearing a gray-white monk's robe, and he was tall and tall. He didn't know what he was holding in his arms, and the part of the wrist that was exposed outside the cuff was as white as jade.
Xu Shi heard the movement on the ground, he raised his head, and a face that was not worldly broke into Gu Jiao's line of sight.
This monk has a pair of long and narrow peach blossom eyes, and there is a tear mole under his right eye. He can't tell how old he is, but he is very young.
Gu Jiao secretly sighed, this world... is even a monk so beautiful? Wouldn't it be that the monsters in the woods had become spirits, who made a special trip to seduce them, these young women from good families
Gu Jiao looked at him vigilantly.
He raised his blushing thin lips and smiled slightly: "This little benefactor, can you pull the poor monk up?"
The sound is also very nice!
There is a godlike ethereal spirit.
After thinking for a while, Gu Jiao took out the rope from the basket and dragged him up.
Only then did Gu Jiao discover a white and tender little hare in his arms, and in the trap he had been in just now, there was the corpse of a poisonous snake.
Gu Jiao looked at the poisonous snake, then at the little rabbit in his arms, and said, "Did you fall into the trap to save this little rabbit?"
"Hmm." He nodded with a smile.
He smiled very tenderly, but it was not the kind of maternal tenderness of Yao's, but the tenderness that made people dizzy and blushed.
It's a pity that Gu Jiao is not shy by nature.
Because he was good-looking, Gu Jiao took a second look, but Gu Jiao's heart was actually very calm.
When Gu Jiao heard him say that, she mumbled, "You're quite kind..."
Before the good words were finished, the other party drew out a dagger and killed the hare with one knife.
Gu Jiao: "..."
After the monk killed the hare, he asked Gu Jiao for some water, washed the rabbit, and started a bonfire on the spot to grill the rabbit meat.
Gu Jiao was a little stunned.
Killing and eating meat, is this not a fake monk
"Do you want it?" He cut off the fattest piece of rabbit meat and handed it to Gu Jiao, stringing it with a dagger, "Whoever sees it has a share."
Gu Jiao: I shouldn't have saved you, so are you thanking me properly
Gu Jiao didn't eat much for lunch, she was really hungry at the moment, she took the rabbit and took a bite.
Not bad, not tasty, a bit of a waste of ingredients.
"Ah, I forgot to put salt." The monk patted his head, took out a small bamboo tube from his wide sleeve, removed the lid, and sprinkled salt on the rabbit meat.
"It should be more delicious now." He cut another piece and handed it to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao took the rabbit meat, and it tasted a lot more delicious with salt. She asked, "You saved it just to eat it?"
The monk said of course: "Otherwise?"
The corner of Gu Jiao's mouth twitched, thinking which monk in the temple is this? Why haven't you seen it yourself
The monk pointed to the trap on the side: "Do you eat snake meat? If you want to eat it, go and fish it up."
Gu Jiao said, "Why don't you fish it yourself?"
The monk sighed, "I'm afraid."
Gu Jiao said strangely, "I'm afraid you will kill it."
"It wasn't killed." The monk paused and corrected her, "It was killed by bite."
Gu Jiao: "..."
"Why are you biting it?"
"It bit me first!" The monk said righteously and sternly, pulling up his left trouser leg to reveal his calf that was swollen like a pig's trotter.
Gu Jiao was simply stunned.
A snake bites you, you bite a snake, what exactly is this operation
It is estimated that the snake did not expect that one day he would be bitten to death by someone!
And you have been bitten by snakes like this, so you are still in the mood to eat roasted rabbits? Don't you know you're going to die soon
The monk seemed to see Gu Jiao's thoughts and sighed, "I know."
After speaking, he fell to the ground with a bang, vomited black blood, and was unconscious!
Gu Jiao: "..."
What kind of weird monk is this? !
It was a highly venomous silver ring snake that bit him. Fortunately, Gu Jiao had silver ring snake antivenom in her small medicine cabinet.
Antivenom is a horse serum preparation, which contains foreign proteins, which can easily lead to allergies.
As time was running out, Gu Jiao gave up the desensitization injection and gave him two anti-allergic shots.
When the monk woke up, he was no longer on the original lawn. He found himself sitting under a big tree, and the sky was raining.
He glanced at Gu Jiao beside him, and said in a hoarse voice, "In spring, Ledo, you can't shelter from the rain under a tree, don't you know?"
Gu Jiao looked at him nonchalantly, and said, "If you are bitten by a snake and can calmly roast a rabbit, I think you are not afraid of death."
The monk choked and coughed softly: "Didn't I think I couldn't live, why should I be a full-fledged ghost? In other words... You saved me?"
He opened his trouser legs and took a look. The wound was bandaged with medicine, the pain had basically disappeared, and the edema had disappeared.
"You can even cure snake venom, are you an expert outside the world?" he asked strangely.
Gu Jiao didn't answer him, she just sat on the side to avoid the rain.
Yuemo felt that he owed two people's favors in a row. The monk was embarrassed, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "What is your surname of the female benefactor?"
"Gu." Gu Jiao said, not looking at him, but looking at the continuous heavy rain.
The monk smiled and said, "The poor monk knows a little about physiognomy, so I can read a palmistry for Master Gu."
"No need." Gu Jiao refused lightly.
No woman could refuse such a handsome monk, and Gu Jiao was the first.
The monk couldn't help but became curious and looked at her more. Gu Jiao had already put on a bamboo hat, so she couldn't see her face clearly, leaving only a delicate chin.
The monk hooked his lips, intending to withdraw his gaze, but suddenly saw a bronze medal playing in Gu Jiao's hand.
He raised his eyebrows in confusion and said, "The girl turned out to be from Xuanping Hou's mansion."
"What?" Gu Jiao turned around.
The monk's gaze swept across the birthmark on her left face, without showing any strangeness, and said, "The token in your hand."
Gu Jiao looked at the token, then looked at him: "Do you know?"
The monk hooked his lips into a smile, stretched out a pair of slender legs, raised an arm to rest on the back of his head, leaned against the big tree behind him, looked at the fine rain and said, "Yes, the poor monk knows."
"Tell me about it." Gu Jiao said.
The monk glanced at Gu Jiao playfully: "So you don't know each other? Then how did you get this token?"
"I picked it up." Gu Jiao said.
"Huh." The monk's expression became more and more playful, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, as if full of spring water and autumn waves, full of charm, "Then you are lucky to be able to pick up such precious things."
He said, withdrew the gaze that fell on Gu Jiao, and continued to look at the heavy rain that did not know when it would stop: "The Marquis of Xuanping, a family of hairpins for hundreds of years, royal relatives, a tyrant in the capital, and a veteran of two dynasties. , after leaving the queen, what exactly does the patron of Gu want to hear?"
Gu Jiao didn't ask him why a monk in the mountains could understand the situation in the capital, but said, "It's fine."
The monk smiled and said, "That's all I want to hear, but unfortunately I can't finish the story of Xuanping Hou's mansion for three days and three nights. Does Patron Gu want to inquire about people, or do you want to inquire about interesting things?"
Gu Jiao thought for a while: "People."
"Master or servant?"
"what ever."
The monk smiled even deeper: "It's obviously you who asked about the news, why do you tell me? Well, I don't know if you really asked about the next person, so let's start with the Marquis of Xuanping. This marquis is inherited from the old marquis. Yes, Xuanping Marquis is the eldest son in the family, and he is also the direct son, inheriting the family business is logical, there is nothing to say."
"He has a direct sister, a younger brother, the younger sister is the current queen, and the younger brother is General Weiyuan. Ah, forgot to mention, he also married Princess Xinyang as his wife. He and Princess Xinyang have a son, which is really amazing A child, unfortunately died young."
"Is it just that many people?" Gu Jiao asked.
"There are still a few scumbags, it's not worth it." The monk said, and once again looked at Gu Jiao with a smile, but this time, there was a hint of warning in his smile, "Girl, you can pick up this token. If you pick it up, don’t take it out and show it around, it will easily lead to death. Also, don’t get involved with the people of Xuanping Hou’s mansion, it will also cause death.”
When he became serious, he even changed his name.
Gu Jiao didn't pay attention to his warning, she was never a person who left the risk to others to judge.
However, this Xuanping Marquis Mansion sounds very powerful, how could Xiao Liulang have the token of Xuanping Marquis Mansion on his body? What is his relationship with Xuanping Houfu
"Then what if..." Gu Jiao suddenly realized something in the middle of her words, and when she turned her head to look, she found that the monk who was still chatting beside her suddenly disappeared.
What's even more bizarre is that Gu Jiao didn't know when he left.
Gu Jiao has been in another world for so long, and this time she really met a master.
Gu Jiao looked at the place where the monk had just sat, and there was a word written with her finger: Xiao.
Gu Jiao pondered, "The Marquis of Xuanping's mansion... surnamed Xiao?"
Xiao Liulang is also surnamed Xiao, how is it such a coincidence
