Chapter 542 I’m late

Gu Zhian opened her eyes, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, as she expected.

Jing'er also opened her eyes and said to Gu Zhian: "Mom, I heard the shopkeeper's uncle and the old man Zhang who worked in the kitchen said not to deliver food today, and asked the old man Zhang to go to Huangxing Street to find a man named Li.

, saying that someone came to the inn to ask about the He family, so they should be more alert."

Gu Zhian's eyes lit up, he hugged Jing'er and kissed her fiercely, "Mom, little Jing'er is so awesome."

Just as Gu Zhian expected, the person who set up this situation could not easily kill his uncle and cousin Mingshan. As long as they were spared their lives, that person would always have a way out.

With these clues, Gu Zhian followed the clues and of course used some extraordinary means to find the place where his uncle and cousin Mingshan were being held that night.

It was a large house with three entrances. My uncle and cousin were locked in a cellar in the backyard of the big house. Not to mention the cold and damp environment inside, they were tied up with ropes. There were two bowls beside them, one filled with leftovers.

Vegetable rotten rice, one filled with water mixed with sediment.

The father and son had lost all their energy and spirit after being tortured, and there was no trace of their former high-spirited appearance, which made Gu Zhian feel very sad.

He Mingshan thought he was delivering food, so he didn't even raise his eyelids and leaned against the cold stone wall with his head hanging motionless.

Gu Zhian's eyes turned red and he called softly, "Uncle, cousin Mingshan."

He Mingshan's lowered head suddenly lifted up. In the dim light, he saw a familiar figure. He asked with a trembling voice: "Zhi'an?"

Gu Zhian nodded, tears streaming down his face, "It's me, I'm late." She put Jing'er down, squatted down, cut the rope around He Mingshan's body with a dagger, and went to untie her unconscious uncle.

"Uncle, are you crying?" Jing'er stood next to He Mingshan and saw He Mingshan's shaking shoulders, "My father said that men don't shed tears lightly, they want revenge, and they repay injustice. There's no point in crying.

.”

He Mingshan wiped away his tears and said, "Jing'er is right." In the darkness, He Mingshan's eyes were burning with fire. He would definitely avenge this.

Gu Zhian had already carried his unconscious uncle on his back, "Cousin Mingshan, can you go by yourself?"

He Mingshan moved his legs. He had injuries on his legs, but no bones. There was no problem in walking. "I can."

"Then let's go. I've already taken care of the people outside. Don't worry."

They left the house smoothly and went to a private house that Gu Zhian had rented a long time ago.

The He family's father and son had many injuries on their bodies, but none of them were fatal. They would recover after taking medicine and resting for a period of time. This also made Gu Zhian feel relieved.

He Mingshan had already taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. He limped to his father's room. Seeing Gu Zhian giving his father an injection, he hurried forward and asked, "Zhian, how is my father?"

Gu Zhian said softly: "It's okay, I'll wake up soon." She quickly put away the needle, stood up and said to He Mingshan: "I'll go to the kitchen to make some rice porridge, you stay with uncle first."

He Mingshan nodded, and when he saw Gu Zhian turning to leave, he called her back, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

Gu Zhian knew what he wanted to ask and told him simply, "If I arrived in Qianzhou one day later, my grandmother would have died in your mother's hands. And sister Mingyue was promised to the third son of the Ye family by your mother. Now I'm here

After arriving here, Sister Mingyue doesn’t know what to do now.”

He Mingshan heard the answer he least wanted to hear, and felt angry and hurt. His mother had always been a little confused. Under the control of her grandmother, she had never made any big mistakes, but she didn't expect that——

Gu Zhian didn't want to say too much, but the pain that his grandmother suffered could not be in vain. This was her attitude, and I believe He Mingshan could also see it.

As soon as Gu Zhian left, He Mingshan turned around and saw that his father on the bed had opened his eyes at some point.
