Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 108 9 Shun

The air fell into a suffocating silence. Gu Huai and Wang Huacheng were in a stalemate, and there was an atmosphere of tension between them.

Wang Huacheng stared at Gu Huai, clenched his fists tightly, and creaked his back molars, as if he was ready to pounce on him and tear him to pieces at any moment.

Gu Huai glanced at him, with a disdainful smile on his lips, as if he didn't pay attention to him at all, which made Wang Huacheng even more furious.

A second before he was about to punch Gu Huai, Nian He rushed forward, hugged Wang Huacheng's arm, shrank beside him, and called softly, "Young Master Wang."

Wang Huacheng's heart instantly turned into a puddle of water, and the raging anger that had been ignited before was also extinguished, turning into pink bubbles all over the sky.

At the same time, the door of the bedroom was opened, Jiu Shun walked in gently, and called out to Gu Huai, "Master."

"See off." Gu Huai repeated what he said just now.

Jiu Shun respectfully stood aside, lowered his body slightly and said, "Please, both of you."

Wang Huacheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Huai for a few seconds, then snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left angrily.

After Wang Huacheng left, Gu Huai yawned, got into the bed again, and prepared to sleep well.

He had been drowsy these days, and after being tortured by Wang Huacheng, he was even more tired.

Although his heart is cold and hard, but he didn't help Wang Huacheng this time, not because he didn't intend to control his life or death.

He just felt that this matter would not end so easily. That guy Huang Jiulang had achieved his goal, and he still stayed by Wang Huacheng's side. up.

Secondly, even if Huang Jiulang is sincerely planning to befriend Wang Huacheng, both of them are middle-aged men with hands and feet, and they can save money by doing odd jobs along the way to avoid starvation.And Wang Huacheng asked him for 1000 taels at once, and if there was no conspiracy, he was going to take the silver taels and eat the mountain.If I really lent it to them, it would be of no benefit to them.

What's more, they have done disgraceful things in the first place, and what they sow will reap the consequences. They are obliged to bear the consequences, but there is no need to rescue them.If the government finds out about him and accuses him of covering up fugitives, it will be a big trouble.

After thinking about it, Gu Huai fell asleep in a daze.

After Jiu Shun sent Wang Huacheng and the two away, he returned to Gu Huai's bedroom and found that Gu Huai was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.The quilt was kicked aside, and Gu Huai only had a back corner on his body.

He squatted beside Gu Huai and observed for a while, making sure that he would not wake up for a while, so he gently pulled the quilt for him, and tiptoed out.

The sky was getting bright now, Jiu Shun walked briskly all the way to the gate of Gu's house, looked back to make sure no one found him, and then walked out of the gate.

It was already noon when Gu Huai woke up.When he was having lunch, he proposed to Gu Xianrong that he wanted to travel far away again. Although Gu Xianrong had 1 worries, he couldn't help his son's plea, so he reluctantly agreed.

In the afternoon of that day, Gu Huai started to pack his luggage, preparing to embark on a journey with Yan Chixia tomorrow.

Jiu Shun helped Gu Huai stuff the clothes into his bag, and asked, "Master, are you going to take the little one with you when you go out?"

Gu Huai paused for a moment, he had never considered this issue before.He is an engineering college student who has traveled through the modern society. Even without servants, he can still live well.

What's more, he still doesn't know Yan Chixia's real purpose. He knows that this journey is extremely dangerous, and he is prepared to die there.Jiu Shun is just a teenager, no matter how indifferent and ruthless he is, he will not sacrifice a young child for nothing.

So, Gu Huai shook his head and said, "No, you just stay at home."

After hearing this, Jiu Shun opened his eyes wide in panic.He suddenly knelt down at Gu Huai's feet and shook his head desperately.

"Master, I beg you, take me on the road. I don't want to stay at home, I want to serve you by your side!"

Gu Huai was a little surprised by his behavior, so he asked, "Why? Could it be that father and elder brother have abused you, so you don't want to stay here to serve them?"

"No," Jiu Shun shook his head like a rattle, tears welled up in his slender eyes, "Master and Eldest Young Master are very kind to the younger one...but, the younger one just wants to follow the Young Master."

"why?"

"Because..." Jiu Shun's slender face turned red, "Because the young master treats the younger ones better!"

Hearing these words, Gu Huai immediately felt a creepy feeling.Fu'an's face appeared in front of his eyes again, and all kinds of horrible memories flooded his heart again...

He felt that the blood vessels all over his body were about to burst, and before he could react, he kicked Jiushun's shoulder fiercely, and roared angrily: "I'm not treating you well! Don't be too affectionate to me, you You are just a servant, a slave, I have never looked at you in the eye!"

Jiu Shun was stunned by Gu Huai's reaction.Although Gu Huai almost used all his strength in that kick just now, it didn't hurt at all when he kicked Jiushun.

Jiu Shun had never seen such a Gu Huai, such an out-of-control Gu Huai.

Panting heavily, Gu Huai gradually calmed down, and staggered down on the chair.Jiu Shun also came back to his senses, kneeled to Gu Huai's feet, raised his head and called out: "Master."

Gu Huai looked at his shoulder, which was covered with a small piece of gray dust.

"Does it hurt?"

Jiu Shun shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."

"lie."

Jiu Shun just looked up at Gu Huai and stopped talking.

Gu Huai said leisurely, "You might die if you go out this time, are you still willing to follow?"

Jiu Shun looked directly at Gu Huai, and replied firmly without any hesitation: "Yes."

Gu Huai looked into his eyes suspiciously, hoping to see a trace of fear and hesitation in them, but he only saw a fiery sincerity.

After a long time, Gu Huai sighed and said, "Forget it, since you're willing to follow me, I'll take you with me."

Hearing this, Jiu Shun smiled and kowtowed happily, "Thank you, young master!"

In the middle of the night, Gu Huai was lying on the bed with a splitting headache.

He realized that not only was there a problem with his emotional mechanism, but also with his body, and now even his spirit... seemed to be out of his control.

Before, he never lost his temper with those around him.Even though he has lost his emotional mechanism, his brain can control himself not to hurt those around him.

But during the day, because of Jiu Shun's words, he lost control and became like that.

If you just let it develop like this, regardless of it, what will happen to you?

Thinking of this, Gu Huai felt a kind of fear like falling into an ice cave, and a kind of cold loneliness.It was the first time in a while that he felt fear.

Therefore, he became more determined to go with Yan Chixia.No matter what is waiting for him on the other side of the road, he has to take that step to change.

The worst outcome is death.

The next day, Gu Huai brought Jiu Shun to the inn where Yan Chixia was staying.

Yan Chixia looked like she had been waiting for them for a long time, and she was not surprised to see the two of them coming.

I saw him standing up leisurely after flicking his elastic clothes, and said with a smile: "My dear brother, you are finally here."

"When does Brother Yan plan to leave?"

"Since my virtuous brother is here, of course we can leave immediately."

Gu Huai nodded.

The three of them set off like this.On the way, Yan Chixia said to Gu Huai: "My dear brother, I wonder what level your magic power has reached?"

Gu Huai replied in a voice without warmth: "I haven't practiced."

Jiu Shun, who was carrying the luggage on the side, wiped his sweat with some embarrassment.

Yan Chixia smiled, and said, "That's fine, you are born with rare bones, so you don't need to work hard to practice spells. When you meet Master, you will definitely be able to improve by leaps and bounds and reach a higher level."

Gu Huai: "..."

"By the way, we can do some ghost hunting and exorcism business along the way. Not only can we earn some money, but also let you gain experience. I just happen to be by your side, and I can also teach you a thing or two."

Gu Huai didn't feel very at ease about the inexplicably powerful mana that appeared on his body, so Yan Chixia's words were not attractive to him.

At this time, Jiu Shun, who had been walking quietly by his side, suddenly interjected, "Master...you know magic?"

Gu Huai immediately reprimanded: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, there are some things you don't need to know."

Jiu Shun immediately lowered his head resentfully, and said, "I made a mistake, please forgive me, young master."

Yan Chixia smiled and embraced Jiushun's shoulder.Now that Gu Huai has turned into such a boring look, he can't help feeling desperate for the boringness of the journey.However, fortunately, there was someone who could communicate with him.

Thus, Yan Chixia held Jiu Shun's shoulders and told Jiu Shun everything that had happened during this period.

After hearing this, Jiu Shun opened his mouth wide in surprise.He leaned close to Yan Chixia's ear and asked softly, "You mean, what kind of relationship is the young master and Mr. Lan...?"

Yan Chixia was amused, she obviously didn't expect Jiu Shun to focus on emotional gossip.He teased and asked, "Hey, why do you care so much about this thing? Why, do you know Young Master Lan?"

Jiu Shun shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I don't know... But, I heard that the young master has always had a good fairy friend, although I have never met that young master... But... But both of them It's a man, so how could it be such a relationship?"

Yan Chixia laughed loudly and said, "Why can't men and men have this kind of relationship? Look at Wang Huacheng and Nian He, isn't it the same?"

"This...it's different," Jiu Shun's face turned red like a persimmon in an instant, "Let's just say it, that Mr. Nian He has a vicious air all over his body. If you want to say that he is a woman I believe both of them. But...but the young master and that Mr. Lan...neither one is like him."

Gu Huai was disturbed by their voices talking behind him, so he turned his head and shouted angrily, "Can you stop talking about it?"
