Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 14 Chapter Family

Gu Huai lowered his eyes thoughtfully, then looked at Lan Yuyan again, and said with a pious and solemn expression: "I swear, I will never treat Er Qing like that again."

Seeing Gu Huai's serious look, Lan Yuyan choked back her laughter until her face almost cramped.He turned his face away and said: "It's not enough, you still have to swear, and you still have to say that in the future, no matter whether you are old, sick or dead, rich or poor, you will never leave it."

Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, thinking what the hell kind of vows this is, full of the déjà vu of wedding vows.

"Why, you don't want your snake to come back?" Seeing Gu Huai hesitated, Lan Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little bit of displeasure in her heart, and her tone cooled down a bit.

"I swear, regardless of life, old age, sickness or death, poverty or wealth, I will never abandon it," Gu Huai paused, and continued, "If I break my promise, I will be punished by God..."

Before he finished speaking, his lips were pressed by a slender and strong finger.

Lan Yuyan pressed Gu Huai's lips, as if enjoying the soft touch.He leaned closer to Gu Huai, and the tip of their nose almost touched the tip of their nose.

Gu Huai's pupils dilated unconsciously. For some reason, he felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if it was going to jump out of his chest in the next second.He had never felt this kind of feeling before, and he couldn't help but feel a little breathless, and his eyes turned black because of suffocation.

"Don't talk about God's punishment, no one can punish you." Lan Yuyan said softly.The mellow voice was like a pot of old wine, accompanied by the intoxicating aroma, it made Gu Huai dizzy again.

Seeing Gu Huai's dizzy look, Lan Yuyan felt as if a flame was ignited in her heart, burning her internal organs one after another.He uncontrollably reached out and wrapped his arms around Gu Huai's waist.

Gu Huai trembled all over, and suddenly pushed Lan Yuyan away, he hurriedly turned around, panting heavily, and the roots of his ears were red.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely weird.

After a long time, Lan Yuyan said leisurely: "It's getting late, I should go back too. As for your snake, you don't have to worry, since you have done what I said, it will definitely come back to you. "

Gu Huai came back to his senses, and before he could say anything, Lan Yuyan turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared in front of him.

Gu Huai stared blankly at the green smoke that hadn't completely dissipated, feeling confused.He picked up a glass of water casually and poured it down for himself.

He put the empty glass on the table with a "boom", and wiped the water droplets hanging on his chin with his sleeve vigorously, leaving a red mark on his white and tender skin.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "squeak".

Gu Huai followed the sound and found that there was no one outside the house.Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, wondering if he was haunted again?

Just when his heart was in his throat, he saw a green snake appearing on the ground, and it crawled in from the door leisurely.

Overjoyed, Gu Huai picked up the snake. The snake's body drooped lazily and wrapped around his arm loosely.

"Er Qing, where have you been? I have been looking for you for a long time, but I thought you... thought you would never come back."

Erqing was wet and slippery all over, dripping a drop of water on the ground from time to time.Gu Huai rubbed his skin and asked: "Where did you get so wet, did you also fall into the river?"

After all, as if thinking of something interesting, "puchi" laughed out loud.

Er Qing raised his head, his two round dark eyes stared straight at him.Gu Huai's laughter gradually stopped. He looked at Er Qing, and Lan Yuyan's face gradually appeared in front of his eyes. He actually had a vague feeling that Er Qing and Lan Yuyan looked... very similar.

Gu Huai shook his head, as if he wanted to get this absurd idea out of his mind.He felt that he might have been too leisurely recently, and all kinds of messy thoughts came out.

After staying in Lanruo Temple for another day, Gu Huai continued on the road.

Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian had to stay in this temple for a few more days, so Gu Huai and Yan Chixia joined forces on their way.The two of them parted ways in Anhui, Gu Huai had to go back to his home in Shanxi by water, and Yan Chixia had to continue by land to Xijing.

After a few days of getting along, Gu Huai discovered that Yan Chixia was not only powerful in force, but also a righteous person, and she took great care of Gu Huai along the way.When it came to parting, he couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant. It turned out that he had already regarded Yan Chixia as an older brother.

By the riverside, the wind blew the hair scarves of several people fluttering. Yan Chixia looked at Gu Huai, sighed, and said with a little melancholy: "I'm leaving today, I don't know when we will see you again, my brother Take care."

"Brother Yan is too."

"Fu'an, you have to take good care of your young master, and don't let him be captured by some monster again." Yan Chixia said with a teasing smile.

"Come on, I will protect the young master well," Fu An replied with a smile, "But... the young master is stronger than me, if there are monsters coming to harm him, I am afraid that the young one will not be able to resist..."

"Then you will protect him with your life."

"Hey, what are you talking about, can't I protect myself?" Gu Huai shook his head with a smile.

"My dear brother, I will go to Shanxi to find you after I have dealt with the matter at hand."

"Brother Yan must come, I will treat you well."

At this time, the boatman's urging voice sounded behind him.

Gu Huai glanced at Yan Chixia, clasped his fists and said, "It's time for me to go on the road too, let's leave now."

"Take care of yourself."

Gu Huai smiled, turned around and walked towards the boat, but just as he took a step, Yan Chixia grabbed her hand.He turned around and asked suspiciously, "Brother Yan?"

"Brother, you must take good care of yourself." Yan Chixia's face was full of concern and worry.

Gu Huai's heart was moved, his nose was a little sour, and he said to Yan Chixia: "Farewell." Then he got into the boat.

Yan Chixia stood by the river, watching the boat carrying Gu Huai drift away and disappear into the sky.The concern on his face disappeared completely, and one corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile without a trace of warmth, and muttered: "Gu Huai, Lan Yuyan, Bone Whip... Interesting, very interesting..."

***

Gu Huai and the others stayed in this swaying boat for five days before arriving in Taiyuan City.

When he came home, he saw his father standing at the door to welcome him from a distance.

Gu Huai's father, Gu Xianrong, was wearing a black satin robe with Fang Sheng pattern, and the hair on the top of his head had turned gray.He looked towards Gu Huai with tears in his eyes, stretched out a wrinkled hand tremblingly, but stopped by Gu Huai's cheek.

Gu Huai's heart ached, and he said, "Father, the baby is back."

The hand turned to press on Gu Huai's shoulder, and patted his shoulder hard twice.

"Good boy, it's good that you can come back safely, it's good that you can come back..."

After Gu Xianrong finished speaking, he lowered his head, his eyes were already flushed.

Gu Huai followed Gu Xianrong into the house, silently observing his father's generous and slightly stooped back.

"I received the letter you sent from home. The matter of your cousin's house... Alas, what a crime this is!" Gu Xianrong walked in front, saying with grief and indignation.

"But it's okay, you're fine. Dad is just your brother and your two sons. If anything happens to you, how will dad live!"

"The child's unfilial piety makes daddy worry."

Gu Huai followed Gu Xianrong to the hall step by step, and sat down at the dining table.

The dining table is filled with all kinds of delicious delicacies.The father and son had a meal and chatted about some family matters.

A long green figure squeezed through the crack of the door, crawled silently on the ground, crawled to Gu Huai's feet under the table, and wrapped his tail lightly around Gu Huai's ankle.

Gu Huai felt his feet being pushed by something, and looked down curiously, only to meet a pair of black round eyes and a scarlet letter.

Gu Huai was startled, quickly stepped on Erqing's tail lightly, and moved him inward.No matter how smart and human Erqing is, he is still a snake. Gu Huai himself is not afraid of snakes, but it would be terrible if he frightened his father.

Erqing's smooth and clean skin rubbed on the ground for a while, and was covered with another layer of dust.It was dissatisfied and struggled desperately.

Gu Huai felt the thing wriggling desperately under his feet, but he didn't dare to step on it.For a moment, his face was flushed with anxiety, and a layer of sweat beads appeared on his forehead.

Seeing his son's abnormal behavior, Gu Xianrong was puzzled and asked, "Huai'er, what are you doing?"

"No... nothing."

"Is there something under the table? I saw you keep looking down." Gu Xianrong also looked under the table as he said.

Gu Huai panicked, and the soles of his feet loosened, causing the green snake to break free.Erqing struggled too violently just now, he didn't stop the car, and flew out directly, hit Gu Xianrong's leg, and fell to the ground again.

Knowing that it was in trouble, it voluntarily coiled itself into a ball and hid its head.

Gu Xianrong looked at the green ball that just smashed himself, thinking what is it?

Gu Huai quickly picked up the snake ball and hugged it in his arms, saying: "This is the cuju I brought back from the south... um...the cuju they have is all green."

Gu Xianrong stared suspiciously at the "cuju" in Gu Huai's arms.

Gu Huai was frightened by his father's stare, and hurriedly said: "The child is a little tired, so go back to the room and rest."

Gu Xianrong narrowed his eyes and nodded, Gu Huai quickly left the hall holding "Cuju" as if fleeing.

Er Qing poked his head out from the snake ball, raised his head to stare at Gu Huai, and opened his mouth to spit out a message.

Gu Huai exchanged glances with him, couldn't help being furious, threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you that you can easily scare others with your appearance, if you run out like this, What if I scare my dad?"

Er Qingxin said that I am too lazy to care so much.But seeing Gu Huai's angry look, he knew that it was not worthwhile to be angry with him at this time.So he pretended to be docile, obedient and guilty, crawled towards Gu Huai little by little, raised his upper body, rubbed his head against his trousers, and looked at Gu Huai with a pair of round eyes as if guilty.

Gu Huai's heart softened, he bent down to pick up the green snake, and said softly, "That's all... Sigh, I really can't do anything about you."

At this moment, an exclamation sounded from behind: "Huai'er, what are you holding in your hand!"
