Back Off, Let Me Come

Gu Chi did not respond for a long time.

He thought he had a deep understanding of Kang Shi's title of Plague God, but he did not expect that the other party could break the record. He rubbed his forehead with a headache: "In other words, Wei Heng has a narrow escape from death?"

Kang Shi moved his lips: "Maybe he has no chance of survival."

The teacup in his hand could no longer support it and broke with a snap.

The clear water in the cup flowed through his fingers and wet the hem of his clothes.

Blood beads oozed from the wound and were diluted into light pink by the clear water.

Although Kang Shi's expression did not change much and his heart was in chaos, Gu Chi could keenly perceive the melancholy and regret that overflowed from his body. If Yu Zi really died because of this, it would not be as simple as the death of a colleague or half a student for Kang Shi.

"Kang Jishou!"

Gu Chi grabbed Kang Shi's wrist, which was shaking uncontrollably.

A low shout made his mind clear instantly.

Kang Shi looked at his bloody palm and reacted slightly out of control. He urged the literary energy to stop the wound and then took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the blood clean. Again and again, the wound was pulled outwards, revealing the flesh and blood inside. Gu Chi could not help but frowned secretly, and whispered: "You also said that this is not what you want--"

In the past, Kang Shi was always a numb to the master.

After so many years, the master is still alive and kicking.

Gu Chi was frightened at first, but after so many times, he became numb. Occasionally, he would watch the master jumping up and down and cursing Kang Shi, forgetting that Kang Shi could really kill people. The person whose life was hanging by a thread was Yu Weiheng, a colleague.

If Yu Zi really died, Kang Shi's future would also be in jeopardy.

Kang Shi crumpled the bloody handkerchief into a crumpled ball and covered his face with his hands, trying to prevent others from noticing his true emotions.

"Kang Jishou, are you--"

Gu Chi had a bold guess in his mind.

Seeing Kang Shi's back obviously stiffen, as if to confirm his guess, his face also became a little ugly: "But you-"

Kang Shi gritted his teeth and said: "She will be fine!"

He put down his hands and revealed his eyes full of tired red threads.

It seemed that he was talking to Gu Chi, and it seemed that he was also warning himself: "I will not let the old things happen again, and I will not let her be like my father and second brother... No matter how much it costs..."

Gu Chi was stunned: "What father and second brother?"

How did this matter also involve Kang Jishou's father and brother?

Obviously, this question is taboo.

Kang Shi's eyes were sharp, forcing Gu Chi to retreat from the remaining questions he wanted to ask. Realizing that Kang Shi's breath had changed, Gu Chi tactfully changed the topic just now: "We are colleagues with her. If possible, we naturally don't want to see her get into trouble. However, in her situation, she cannot be intervened by external forces. Even if we can, it is likely to be more of a hindrance..."

If other people help, it may be of positive benefit.

Change to Kang Shi to help?

Yu Zi will most likely die faster.

Kang Shi said, "There must be a way."

It just depends on whether you are willing to pay the price.

If Yu Zi can successfully pass the perfect ceremony, everyone will be happy. If not, he can only prepare for the worst.

After one stick of incense, Yu Zi fell forward exhausted.

The voice was vague: "Untie me."

Kang Shi tried the word spirit, and remembered that all the imprisoned word spirits he had imposed were destroyed. Now these few were replaced by Gu Chi. Gu Chi pinched the spell to untie the word spirit, squatted forward, handed Yu Zi water, and helped her up.

"How do you feel now?"

"Hehe, I'm still alive." Forcibly breaking through [Speech Banning and Voice Seizing] hurts the throat very much. Yu Zi's voice is rough and unpleasant at this moment, and it is difficult to speak. The whole person seems to have just been fished out of the water, sweating all over. She greedily drank the tea cup and said, "Two more times, I won't be awake for much time. If you can't wake up, Kang, this future is for you!"

Gu Chi keenly heard that this sentence contained a huge amount of information.

"What do you mean?"

"Why, he didn't tell you?" Gu Chi was about to answer, but Yu Zi waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's better if he doesn't say it."

Gu Chi: "..."

Yu Zi covered her neck and coughed twice.

"Where is my great-uncle?"

No matter what, I have to let the old man see me.

Kang Shi said, "It's not too late."

Yu Zi sneered, "You'd better not say it."

The God of Plague said something, and maybe those who could have caught up would not be able to catch up. Hearing Yu Zi's voice-over, Kang Shi didn't show it on his face. His hands hanging in his sleeves had already clenched into fists, and his knuckles were white.

Yu Zi glanced at him and said to Gu Chi, "Gu Yushi, if Kang Jishou said something about paying a price to save my life... he can just say it. If he really does it impulsively, remember to knock him unconscious and let his mind calm down."

Gu Chi said, "Don't say such discouraging words for now."

No matter how difficult it is to complete the perfect ceremony, it is possible to complete it.

If you destroy your prestige now and lose your morale, you can't pass it even if you can. Gu Chi didn't understand the situation, so he could only look for help, such as the master. As soon as he walked out of the tent, Gu Chi remembered that it was the master who told him about this matter. She was obviously an insider. If she had a way, she would have taken action long ago. Gu Chi had no choice but to go back home.

Halfway, he met a man who looked a bit like Kang Shi. He was the head of the Kang family, Kang Shi's brother, Kang Bo Sui.

Why did Kang Nian appear here?

The Kang family has been cautious in recent years and has a weak presence.

Although he and Kang Shi were biological brothers, they only interacted with each other politely during New Years and holidays. Kang Nian focused on the family business - this was the news found by the Yushitai. As for whether the brothers met in private, Gu Chi didn't know. He was keenly aware that Kang Nian was in a hurry and was full of travels. He must have just arrived.

Why so urgent?

Gu Chi subconsciously thought about Yu Zi.

He called out to the other party: "Brother Bo Sui."

Kangnian paused and saluted Gu Chi.

He was about to say a few perfunctory words and leave, but Gu Chi pulled his sleeves and walked to the side. The smile on Kang Nian's face was so stiff that he couldn't hold on, and he couldn't shake Gu Chi away and left, so he could only ask patiently: "What advice does Gu Yushi have to ask Kang?"

Gu Chi said: "I'm coming from Ji Shou."

Kangnian's expression changed and he asked quickly, "Is Ji Shou okay?"

Gu Chi felt that Kang Nian's issue was a bit subtle.

It seemed that the person whose life was hanging by a thread was Yu Zi, but Kang Nian's first question was to ask Kang Shi. Thinking of what Yu Zi said again, Gu Chi's curiosity became even more intense. He said: "Ji Shou is fine, but something happened to his student and deputy, and he is very distressed."

Kangnian sighed: "I have expected this day for a long time."

He said it very softly, but Gu Chi heard it clearly.

Asked: "Brother Bo Sui, what do you mean by this?"

Kang Nian remained silent, unwilling to answer.

But who is Gu Chi?

His way of being a scribe allows him to listen to the other party's heart honestly, and combined with the clues revealed in his heart, he can control Kang Nian to death: "Speaking of which, Ji Shou said something very strange just now. I take the liberty to ask, Ji Shou Why are my father and brother missing?”

Kang Nian's face darkened.

It's as ugly as swallowing a fly alive.

Even if he didn't say anything, Gu Chi could follow the clues and piece together a complete picture based on the other person's fragmentary thoughts. It was these things that made Gu Chi understand why Kang Shi's reaction was so wrong.

because--

Kang Nian did not hide anything.

He has seen what Yushitai is capable of.

Even if he didn't tell, Gu Wangchao still had the means to find out. When the truth comes out, some things can no longer be hidden.

"The death of father and Erlang is related to Ji Shou."

Gu Chi thought to himself: [As expected. 】

In Kangshi, he awakened to the ways of the scribes and killed many people.

His father and second brother.

The old head of the Kang family passed away suddenly, and Kang Nian was unprepared to take on the important responsibilities of the family. Before he could recover from the pain of losing his father, his second brother also died of his illness, his third brother was sick all year round, and his fourth brother left for a long time. The four brothers of the Kang family are separated by year, month, day and hour. Kang Nian looked at the decline of the Kang family's lintel and the family members, old and young, helplessly.

Even in the most painful moments, I also hated Kang Shi.

I would rather he be a useless person and a playboy.

But he is not, he is quite good, the smartest and most talented among the four brothers, and the child whose father has placed a lot of expectations on him. Even on the night of his death, when his consciousness was in chaos, he did not forget to vaguely whisper that they were united as brothers.

Reason told Kangnian that Ji Shou was innocent.

Yes, he is innocent.

Kangnian took a deep breath and explained: "Although it has something to do with Ji Shou, it is not his fault. The incident back then was complicated... Children of aristocratic families all get engaged early, and Ji Shou is no exception. The relationship between the two families is good, and the agreement was made The wedding can be held when the children come of age. The queen was born sick from her mother's womb and died at the age of seven."

Now that the woman is gone, Kang Shi will naturally have to propose another marriage.

"...Oh, the marriage proposal didn't go well either."

With Kang Shi's family background, talents and education, it was not difficult to leave the bachelor, and he was also a hot young talent in the local area. It's just that he couldn't stand up to Kang Shi, he was unlucky, he had bad luck, he awakened to the way of the scribe too early, and he still had such bad attributes! Defeat five people in a row!

The engaged woman either elopes with her lover or suffers from serious illness or minor disasters, including fires, thefts, and conflicts with the elders of the clan. The six rites of acceptance, name asking, acceptance, acceptance, date request, and personal greeting are the most difficult of fates. I only persisted until the "request period".

Think this is the end?

No, just at the beginning.

The corner of Gu Chi's mouth twitched: "It's really unlucky."

Kangnian sneered: "I thought so at the time."

The first one was sick and died young. Ordinary people might not be able to survive the cold, let alone a girl who was born with a weak heart.

How old was Kang Shi at that time?

There was no way her death could be Kang Shike's.

The second and third terms were just a coincidence. Kang Shi could not control his scholarly ways at that time. The fourth term already had his heart set on him, but her confidant was of low status and could not stay with her forever. She had to accept it due to family pressure.

Kang Shi also heard about this.

He has a free and easy-going personality and doesn't like to force things.

This young couple has already made trouble in front of him. There is no point in forcing this marriage, but there are still some things that need to be said.

[The female monarch does not want to marry into the Kang family and would rather run away from the marriage. Her courage is commendable. Have you ever thought about the fickleness of people's hearts? The one who betroths you is your wife, and the one who runs away is your concubine. If he changes his mind one day, she won't be able to go back. 】

No one cares about having a close friend before marriage.

But no family would tolerate talking about marriage and elopement.

The woman gritted her teeth and said: [My lover will never change his heart. 】

Kang Shi nodded and generously provided the two with escape tools.

Such a big scandal has spread in the woman's family, which has greatly affected the marriages of other women in other clans, so naturally they are not willing to let it go.

Ever since, the problem was framed on Kang Shi.

It was because Kang Jishou was unlucky that he killed his daughter, causing her to suddenly go crazy and elope with someone.

Kang suffered a loss and asked for the fifth marriage.

This person was "hard-working" and insisted on the "appointment period".

There were no twists and turns during the period.

The two families seemed destined to become in-laws, and Kang's cooperation with them increased. Unexpectedly, this was a trap.

Gu Chi asked: "Trap?"

Kang Nian's eyes were sad: "Yes."

The other party dragged Kang into the water, and all the money invested was wasted, disappearing overnight, and even causing a death. Kang's side was in a mess. If they wanted to investigate the other party, the other family would hang up a white banner, and the engaged woman would die.

The old head of the Kang family had a sullen face and had to endure it.

He could not hold the other party accountable, but was blamed by the other party.

Kang's vitality was damaged, and the family was in chaos.

The eldest son of that family was an uneducated playboy who liked to hang out in places of fireworks. Kang Shi's biggest hobby was to look at beauties and he had some connections there. The playboy's drunken words reached Kang Shi's ears - the engagement was fake, but he was just using the name of the engagement to deliberately set a trap for the Kang family, destroy their foundation, and get something for nothing. The female monarch was real, but she was seriously ill and was determined by the medical expert to have only one year to live.

The old patriarch of the Kang family was worried about his son's marriage.

After four failed engagements, he could only lower the conditions again and again.

Knowing that this family was willing to marry and the female monarch had a good reputation, he was naturally happy to accept it. It turned out to be a scam!

Kang Nian's lips curled up in sarcasm.

"Why do you think the female monarch died so coincidentally?"

Gu Chi was well versed in people's hearts and guessed it right.

"Stop her medicine? Or let her go on the road early?"

Kang Nian said: "Poison."

Kang Shi almost exploded when he knew the truth.

However, he did not act rashly.

But he forgot that the people around him were arranged by his parents.

How could this news be concealed?

The old patriarch of the Kang family was furious, but he also knew that it was most important to deal with the mess at the moment. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. The dude let the cat out of the bag and was trembling at first, but when he saw that Kang Shi did not react, he became more arrogant. He deliberately humiliated a singing girl who was saved by Kang Shi, and spread the news that his sister was killed by Kang Shi.

Kang's father, who loved his son dearly, naturally couldn't stand it.

He brought people to the door to ask for an explanation.

[Do you dare to open the coffin for an autopsy? ] Kang's father was in poor health, and he was very angry this time. [Let's see whether your daughter was killed by my son, or was she poisoned by your vicious heart? Considering that there is a funeral in your house and I don't want to settle the score now, you are so arrogant that you humiliate my son! It's too much! ]

The family would naturally not admit it.

It is even more impossible to open the coffin for an autopsy.

The two sides clashed.

Kang Shi didn't bring many people with him, so he couldn't watch his own people being bullied, so he took action. They suffered because they didn't bring a few decent warriors to protect them, but the family had already taken precautions. Kang Shi used the way of the scholar for the first time, and an accident happened - Erlang, who stood up to protect his father, was stabbed in the vitals in the chaos. He was an ordinary person, and this knife could really take his life.

Kang's father was also injured in anger.

"He could have survived that time, but -"

Kang Nian couldn't say the rest.

(*￣︶￣)

After hesitating for two days, I finally bought 4080S, looking forward to the sea view room.

PS: Yu Zi and Kang Shi's way of the scholar are both related to luck, one evil purple takes Zhu, and the other loses every time he gambles. The two people's consummation ceremonies collided, Yu Zi was "Zhu", Kang Shi was "evil purple" in her consummation ceremony; and in Kang Shi's consummation ceremony, Yu Zi was the gambler across the gambling table. The rituals of two people are conflicting on the surface, and only one person can survive. It is another form of prisoner's dilemma, which mainly tests human nature and heart.

Yu Zi admitted that she would do anything to achieve her goal, and Kang Shi has always been a gambler, and he can't stop gambling.

I don't know if this can be understood.

The essence of the perfect ritual is to perfect the heart of Tao, and the deep essence is to fight against oneself.
