Chapter 263 Xiao Hui's guess
The next day, the sky was as dull as usual, and only the rising sun hidden in the clouds in the east appeared and disappeared.
Gu Shun, who was still sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a commotion. He hurriedly stood up and watched Xiaobai scratching his arm with his claws.
As a shoveler, Gu Shun knew that this guy wanted to go to the bathroom.
When Gu Shun was sleeping, the door was closed for safety. Xiaobai was still too young to open the door.
Gu Shun still remembers the last time Xiaobai’s experience of wetting the bed last time.
Gu Shun quickly got up, held Xiaobai's two short legs from his armpits, picked him up directly, and came outside the yard.
As soon as he left the door, Gu Shun discovered that Xiao Hui had already gotten up early and started practicing in the yard.
It was drizzling outside the house. Xiao Hui, dressed in coarse cloth, was stairing in the yard, and his hands were gathering his strength according to the method of Gu Shun's teaching.
The little rain fell on him, and slight white steam swelled up.
This is a manifestation of the energy of energy vaporizing rainwater during transpiration.
It can be seen that after Gu Shun's tip last night, the violent red forces in his strength are gradually being emitted. After all his previous strength has dissipated, they will be sublimated with their strength.
Gu Shun put Xiaobai in his hand on the ground. Xiaobai immediately kicked his legs and rushed into the garden in the yard to facilitate it. Gu Shun looked up at the sun that was still looming beside the skyline, and slowly walked to Xiao Hui and said:
"Why did you get up so early to practice martial arts? You must pay attention to rest. Practicing martial arts requires a long flow of water and you cannot rush for a moment."
"Young Master Gu, don't worry. When I was working in Junze pawnshop, I had to get up to clean the house every day at this point. The young master said yesterday that I still lacked a lot of basic martial arts. I wanted to practice more while I have plenty of time now. After all, I have passed the golden age of martial arts practice.
If Mr. Gu trusts me so much, I must practice martial arts well, be Mr. Gu's right-hand man, and share the troubles and problems as soon as possible."
"It's great, but you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest when practicing martial arts. If you keep squeezing your body, you will be unbearable."
"I will do what I can." Xiao Hui pointed his head heavily, then closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Because at this time, a string of footsteps of Xi Suo came from the yard, and the servant who was responsible for cleaning in the morning came in from outside.
Gu Shun didn't expect that Xiao Hui could detect such a small voice. It seems that in recent years, in order to hide his identity, he had already developed superb and keen senses, which was exactly what Gu Shun needed most.
Gu Shun knew this servant, who was a country aunt in her fifties, and was a simple and honest country lady, but in fact, she was the helm leader of the ancient gods who specially arranged it to come in by her mother, and her status in the ancient gods can be as good as Tang Cong.
She was the replacement of the black and white evil spirits lurking beside Gu Shun, serving as the person to protect Gu Shun's safety, and monitor Gu Shun's movements by the way to prevent him from causing trouble, so that Chu Xiuru can grasp his movements in real time.
In fact, any person in Gu Shun's yard is a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, and it will never happen that Dao Ren Wei broke into his yard again.
"Good morning, young manager." The old servant bowed slightly.
"It's been a hard time to come here early in the morning to clean up."
"This is what the old slave should do. But the young shopkeeper, why did you get up so early today? Didn't you have a good rest last night?"
Gu Shun yawned and stared at the flower bed next to him with some resentment. Soon a little white tiger with a few grass leaves on his body rushed out of the flower bed with grinning, and hissing at the old servant and Xiao Hui.
"It's all this tiger. I woke me up so early to urinate." As he said that, Gu Shun clapped Xiaobai's forehead and asked him to shut up.
The old servant immediately said, "This is easy. I will talk to those who have tidyed up the room later and put a convenient potty for the young manager in the house so that the tiger can pee in the house."
"I'm working hard, I'm just about to prepare one for this guy."
The old servant turned his head curiously again and looked at Xiao Hui who was standing behind Gu Shun with his eyes closed and asked, "Young shopkeeper, who is this young man? Could it be the young shopkeeper's friend?"
"It's my disciple. I decided to teach him the martial arts. He will always be with me from now on."
Gu Shun's words surprised the old servant. His young leader was only six years old this year and had an apprentice. And seeing this, the young leader treated him as a close servant like Chunhua Qiushi.
It is necessary to inform the leader of this matter as soon as possible, and check the identity and background of the person to prevent the young leader from being exploited.
The old servant smiled and said with great concern: "So that's the case. I wonder what the name of the young shopkeeper, the master, is from where he is?"
"Yao, you practice hard first, I'll go in and make up for the sleep." Gu Shun deliberately did not answer the old servant's question, but gave Xiao Hui a few instructions, then got up and went back to the house.
Gu Shun knew that his mother would definitely send someone to investigate Xiao Hui's origin, so those who investigated secretly would inevitably enter the pawnshop. If he could take the opportunity to fire all those who might be undercover or leak secrets to the ancient gods, Gu Shun just reversed his mother's army.
After Gu Shun left, the old servant indeed asked Xiao Hui a few questions tentatively, but Xiao Hui had already received Gu Shun's orders that he could not believe anyone close to the Gu family except him. At this moment, he pointed at his voice and said nothing.
The old servant looked at him with a suspicious face, "You can't speak?"
Xiao Hui nodded.
"Oh, poor child," the old servant patted Xiao Hui's shoulder, touched her body, and took out a piece of cake, "You haven't eaten yet, let's have a few bites first."
Xiao Hui waved his hand to express his refusal and continued to stance. He always remembered Gu Shun's instructions and deliberately kept a distance.
Seeing that Xiao Hui was not very grateful for his kindness, the old servant stopped persuading him. He put away the cake in disappointment and continued to sweep the yard with a broom.
While Xiao Hui connected the strength of his legs, he quickly thought about the current situation of the Gu family.
The Gu family reasonably said that there is no possibility of heirs fighting for, because Gu family only has Gu Shun, the legitimate son, and there is no difference between legitimate and illegitimate son. Therefore, because of the struggle for inheritance rights, Gu Shun had to establish his own power outside and win over the power to support himself. This motivation should not make sense.
Gu Shun's defenses towards the Gu family and the temptations of the old servant to him that he could clearly feel are all proved that the Gu family is not a monolithic, but is guarding against each other.
Could it be that there are other factions who want to secretly control the Gu family and undermine the power of the shopkeeper, or the battle between the commercial banks and the escort agencies for the Gu family's dominance?
These situations may occur, but no matter what the truth is, his reliance and support in the Gu family is Gu Shun. All he has to do is to execute according to the orders of the young shopkeeper, and it is enough to become Gu Shun's sword.
Gu Shun, who was observing secretly in the room, with a gaze retracted his gaze. The old servant just gave Xiao Hui a pot of worms.
