Poor Lady

Qi Surong slowly opened her eyes, her injuries had been dealt with, and looking at the humble house in front of her, she felt as if she was in a different world.

"Little lady, are you awake?" The door of the house was opened, and a plainly dressed old man walked in, with white beard fluttering and standing in the backlight, like a Buddha in the world.

When Qi Surong saw the person coming, tears welled up in his eyes.

It's a master, really a master.

"Aiya, why are you crying?" Yun Youzi touched his wrinkled face and asked in doubt, "Could it be that this old man accidentally showed his true form and scared you?"

Qi Surong chuckled, but the master was still unreliable as always.

"Crying and laughing, stupid." Yunyouzi muttered, "Isn't it a stupid aunt that this old man brought back?"

"Master." Qi Surong struggled to sit up and bowed, "Surong thanked you for saving your life."

Yun Youzi waved his hand and said, "Okay, this old man is not happy to see others come and go."

"Okay, listen to the master." Qi Surong straightened up and smiled at Yunyouzi.

Yunyouzi put down the bamboo basket on his back: "You little woman is so weird, you don't care about your body when you wake up?"

"I think as long as the master is there, there is nothing to worry about." The moment she saw the master, she really felt an unprecedented peace of mind.

"You know the old man?" Yun Youzi gave her a puzzled look.

Qi Surong smiled and said, "I think I have a relationship with the master, maybe we have known each other in our previous life."

"Haha, isn't it?" Yun Youzi said with great interest, "This old man must have been a good person in his last life, otherwise how would he have met a girl like you?"

"Yes, the master is the kindest."

"Don't be shabby, old man." Yun Youzi quickly waved his hand, "Old man tell you, your physical condition is not very good, you are weak and weak, and you have old diseases. Although you usually pay attention to conditioning, you are too worried and difficult to eradicate. ."

"Can master help me heal?"

"The old man is busy. I will write a recipe for you when I come back. You can do it yourself."

"Okay." Qi Surong nodded obediently.

"Well, not bad." Yunyouzi packed the things in the bamboo basket one by one, turned around and walked out of the house.

Qi Surong hurriedly followed, walked out of the door, and found that it was a vast expanse of white outside the door, and overnight, the ground was covered with a layer of white snow. The cold wind was blowing, and she couldn't help shivering.

Seeing Yunyouzi pick up the broom and prepare to sweep the snow, Qi Surong stepped forward and said, "Master, let me come."

Yunyouzi glanced at her: "Let you come? What can you do with your hands?"

Qi Surong looked at her bandaged fingers and laughed at herself, almost forgetting that her hand was hurt.

"Master, can you do me a favor?"

"What are you busy with?"

"Save my husband, he was poisoned and his life is at stake."

"Don't save, don't save." Yunyouzi dropped his broom, turned around and left.

Qi Surong didn't chase after him, just shouted at his back, "If you don't save me, I'll stay here and not leave."

Yunyouzi disappeared at the head of the village without looking back.

Qi Surong inquired about it nearby. This is Yanwei Village, about fifty miles away from Luocheng. Yunyouzi only settled here from Linshan two days ago, and happened to meet Qi Surong who fainted on the way.

She wrote a letter and asked the villagers to go to the inn where Gu Jinyun was. Even if he has left, someone should be arranged to stay behind. I hope Jinyun is all right...

A day ago, Gu Jinyun watched Qi Surong being kidnapped, almost going mad. After repelling the two masked men, he immediately rushed out of the inn, but when he chased out, they had already disappeared. He returned to the inn, leaving one person to wait for news, and then took the others to follow.

The masked man who kidnapped Qi Surong ran in a hurry, leaving many traces along the way. Gu Jinyun and his party chased all the way, and finally caught up with a remote ancient house at dawn. However, the ancient mansion was empty, and only a blood-stained room was found.

Gu Jinyun picked up a rag of clothes on the ground, his face was terrifyingly gloomy. When Su Rong was taken away, he was wearing only a thin coat, the texture of which was exactly the same as the rags on his hands. The bed was messy, the fragments of the vase were scattered all over the place, and the blood stains did not last more than three hours. It was difficult for him to comfort himself, and he was safe and sound.

Holding the rag in his hand tightly, Gu Jinyun couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, his muscles spasmed, and he suddenly fell to the ground.

"Master!" Sixth son rushed forward and hurriedly supported him.

Gu Jinyun closed his eyes, took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to the six sons, and instructed: "Go to the nearest Gu family shop, let them secretly find the trace of his wife, and send someone to pay attention to Feng Zhan's movements, don't make any trouble. Let go."

After saying this, Gu Jinyun fell straight to the ground and fell into a daze.

Gu Jinyun, who was in a coma, had constant nightmares. He heard Su Rong asking for help again and again, but he could only search around in the dark like a headless fly. He couldn't breathe thinking of the hurt and insult she might have received.

For the first time, he clearly realized that he was too weak to protect the woman he loved. He is not afraid of losses and troubles in business, as long as the foundation remains, he can make a comeback. The house is the house, he will not hesitate at all. But he forgot that his enemy was not the common people, but a party of powerful people. No matter how he retreated or prepared, it would be difficult to contend against it.

Su Rong was kidnapped, even if he knew who did it, could he openly rob someone without any evidence? can not.

Feng Zhan can completely imprison Su Rong, unless he disregards the safety of his family, he can only swallow it temporarily, let him possess his own woman, and then wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

It would be a long process, but Gu Jinyun couldn't bear it for even a moment. Su Rong belongs to him alone, and he does not allow anyone to defile it!

He opened his eyes suddenly, soaked in sweat. Gu Jinyun felt a little bumpy under him and found himself on the carriage.

"Six sons." He sat up and called out of the car.

"Master, are you finally awake?" Liu Zi lifted the curtain of the car and jumped into the carriage swiftly.

"Where is this going?"

"Yanwei Village." Sixth Son replied with a smile.

"Yanwei Village?" Gu Jinyun looked at him suspiciously.

Liu Zi took out a letter from his arms and explained, "We received a letter from Madam yesterday. She is in Yanwei Village at the moment, and she has also found Yun Youzi, so we can rush to meet her."

Gu Jinyun's eyes lit up, but after a few quick glances at the letter, a big stone finally fell in his heart.

Great, she's fine. Although I don't know why she appeared in Yanwei Village, as long as she is safe, he has nothing else to ask for.

Gu Jinyun ordered the driver to speed up and get to Yanwei Village as soon as possible.

On the other side, Qi Surong was very happy when she received the news that Gu Jinyun was coming to Yanwei Village. She stood outside the door and couldn't stop looking around, waiting eagerly.

However, one day passed, and Gu Jinyun did not arrive as scheduled.

Qi Surong thought to herself, maybe she was delayed on the road, and she should arrive tomorrow.

However, another day passed, and Gu Jinyun still disappeared.

Qi Surong was a little uneasy, and ran to the entrance of the village with her injuries, waiting bitterly in the cold wind.

After another three or four days, Qi Surong finally determined that something had happened to Gu Jinyun. She asked someone to go to the inn again to inquire about the news, but learned that the person who had stayed behind had left, and it was when she received the news that Gu Jinyun was leaving for Yanwei Village. Obviously, they should have an accident on the way to Yanwei Village.

Could it be Feng Zhan's hands and feet again? Qi Surong was flustered and didn't know what to do. The master is afraid that he will not stay in Yanwei Village for a long time. Once he leaves, it will be difficult to find someone again. She couldn't ask the master, so she could only follow him. But in this case, how should she inquire about Jinyun's news?

For now, it seems that they can only confess everything to their father-in-law and let them send someone to find Jin Yun's whereabouts.

"I hope you are safe, Jin Yun." Qi Surong put her hands together and prayed to the sky, then went to find her master.

As soon as Yunyouzi saw her, he immediately ran away. Qi Surong quickly grabbed him and pleaded, "Master, life is at stake, you must save me."

"Your life is still long, don't you need the old man to save you?"

"My husband's whereabouts are unknown now. I have to go home to find someone for help. Can you come back with me?"

"Why are you going back, old man?"

"I'm penniless, and I have to trouble the master to help me pay for the journey."

Yunyouzi looked at her tangled: "Does this old man look like a rich man?"

"Although I'm not rich, a small toll should not be difficult for your old man."

"Don't come." Yun Youzi waved his hand, "This old man is not taking advantage of him, and he will never give you a toll."

Qi Surong looked at him and said, "Master, did you say that you are a great person before? It's not helpful at all."

"No matter what you say, this old man won't help." Yun Youzi straightened his clothes and strode out.

Qi Surong followed step by step: "Master, if you don't help, I will go to the ends of the earth with you, eat and drink yours, use yours, and read the Three Character Classic for you every day."

"My heart is like a snake and scorpion." Yun Youzi tutted his tongue, but his footsteps did not slow down at all.

"Master—" Qi Surong shouted in a long voice.

Yunyouzi covered his forehead and said weakly: "Okay, the old man will give you a few taels of silver, will you hurry back?"

"Master, do you rest assured that I am a woman alone?" Qi Surong continued, "If something goes wrong on my way, won't you feel guilty?"

"Looking at your vicious appearance, what can go wrong?"

"Master, I don't have the power to tie the chicken, how can I be vicious?" Qi Surong continued his verbal offensive, "Besides, if you borrowed my travel expenses, I have to pay? You go with me, and I will take care of you on the way, and I will eat well when I go back. I'll give you a drink."

"Hmph, the old man is not uncommon."

"You are not rare, I am rare!" Qi Surong smiled, "Anyway, you like to travel around, why not make your next stop in the capital?"

"The old man only likes to put his love in the mountains and rivers, and he doesn't like the noisy marketplace."

"Master, the capital is not noisy at all."

"Humph, the capital is about to be turned upside down, isn't it noisy?"

Qi Surong's heart moved, could it be that the master had already noticed the situation in the capital? Several princes fought fiercely, and it is estimated that in a year or two, the throne will change hands.

It may not be a good thing for her to go back now. Not only that, but it is best for the Gu family to temporarily hide. It's a pity that her father was banned by the emperor from leaving the capital, otherwise she should stay away from right and wrong in time.

Qi Surong thought about it, and decided to send someone to send a letter to Gu Yufeng, and let him secretly find Jin Yun's whereabouts. In due course, tell the father-in-law about this.

She rubbed her forehead, trying to keep herself calm, firmly believing that Jin Yun must still be alive. She couldn't be in a mess, dragging the entire Gu family into danger.

But she had to hurry, because Jin Yun only had one month left.

Jin Yun, where are you now?

The author has something to say: finally a turning point...
