Su Xiaoxi had just washed the sheets and pillow towels, and when she came back, she saw Gu Tingxi who remained the same.
She sat next to Gu Tingxi and saw that the corners of Gu Tingxi's pale lips were dry. She took a cotton swab and dipped it in water to moisten the corners of his lips.
The corners of the lips are moisturized, and the whole face looks gentler.
Su Xiaoxi held her head up and looked at Gu Tingxi. Suddenly she smelled a strange fragrance. She immediately realized something was wrong and covered her mouth and nose in time. She immediately felt much clearer.
There was an unusual smell in this room. If she identified it correctly, it should be a kind of spice that can make people hallucinate.
Su Xiaoxi searched around and finally found the burning incense in the corner.
After extinguishing the incense, Su Xiaoxi opened the window, worried that Gu Tingxi would be cold, so she hurriedly covered Gu Tingxi with an extra layer of blankets.
When the scent dissipated, she closed the window and removed the blanket from Gu Tingxi. She accidentally noticed that Gu Tingxi moved her hands. Could it be that Gu Tingxi woke up?
Or did you just inhale the scent of aromatherapy and hallucinate?
It stands to reason that she discovered it in time and should not have hallucinated. She believed in her intuition that Gu Tingxi must have really moved.
The master had said that the heartbeat would fluctuate due to external factors, so she walked to Gu Tingxi and took his pulse.
Gu Tingxi's pulse didn't even move at all, so she was right. Not only was Gu Tingxi not dazed by the incense, she was probably pretending to be in a vegetative state.
Just as she was about to test Gu Tingxi, Xiaoyun's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Young lady, what happened? I heard a noise inside. Please open the door and let me see if I can help you."
"Your young master...well..." Before Su Xiaoxi could finish speaking, a pair of strong hands pressed her mouth. She glanced back and immediately saw Gu Tingxi covering her mouth. She opened her eyes wide in panic and felt the back of her head.
There was a sudden pain, and everything went dark.
When Su Xiaoxi woke up, she was sitting next to Gu Tingxi.
In front of her, Gu Tingxi was lying on the bed, as obedient as a sleeping baby.
Her neck hurt whenever she moved. Yesterday, Gu Tingxi took advantage of her and suddenly sat up and covered her mouth, knocking her unconscious.
And yesterday I saw incense in the corner that could make people hallucinate.
She turned on the lamp in the corner.
Strange!
There was nothing.
Was it a dream yesterday?
Su Xiaoxi was thinking about the way out when she saw the burnt incense ashes on the ground.
She twisted the incense ash with her hands and smelled the fragrance. The fragrance was mixed with this strange smell, which was the smell of dragon grass and golden leaves.
Golden leaves of dragon grass usually grow along the river. The vines grow with the water. They are golden in color and have only two big golden leaves that look like dragon horns, hence the name. Its big leaves have the effect of treating ventilation and were used in medicine a few years ago.
.Golden vines are made into incense, which has the effect of controlling hallucinations. It may become addictive over time, so it has been abandoned.
This herb is not common. The river bank of Yucheng is also in the suburbs. It is remote and difficult to find. In addition, due to the clearing of river channels over the years, the golden leaves of dragon grass have been almost uprooted and almost extinct.
Although she didn't know how she found the grass, when she saw the incense ashes, she knew that what she experienced yesterday was not a hallucination, and that the vegetative person named Gu was just faking it.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
This person named Gu is definitely not a good person.
Pretending to be a vegetative state and pretending to be a ghost, the master said that there are no good people in the mountains, now she can see the truth!
Unconvinced by the teasing, Su Xiaoxi picked up the water glass on the table and poured the water directly on Gu Tingxi. Seeing that Gu Tingxi didn't react, she opened the mineral water and poured it on Gu Tingxi's face.
Before she could take action, her hand was tightly restrained.
The pain gradually spread. Su Xiaoxi looked at Gu Tingxi, who was very close to her. She had been lying obediently before. Now she opened her eyes, and her eyes were like bottomless black pools, as if they were about to swallow her up at any time. She couldn't lift her up inexplicably.
There was a numbness behind me, and the feeling of suffocation gradually deepened.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Young mistress, breakfast is ready, let me bring it in for you!" Xiaoyun's voice rang.
"Don't let others in." Gu Tingxi held a sharp weapon between his index and middle fingers and threatened her in a low voice, "Or I'll kill you!"
Su Xiaoxi saw the sharp weapon in front of her neck and guessed that it was a shining silver blade. It was very scary and saving her life was important. She nodded and shouted to the door: "No, just put it down and leave!"
There was no movement outside, so it was obvious that Xiaoyun had not left.
Su Xiaoxi felt that the knife in front of her neck was close to her neck. She said fiercely: "I am your young mistress, don't you listen to what I say? I said I will get it by myself, I will get it by myself, you go!"
Xiaoyun was frightened for a long time and immediately retreated.
Su Xiaoxi heard the footsteps moving away and looked down at the blade that had not been moved away. "Okay, everyone is gone. Take the things in your hands away."
Gu Tingxi did not move, "Are you Su Xiaoxi?"
Su Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes."
"Did you meet Gu Botang before you came to the Gu family? What did he want from you?"
"I don't know who you are talking about." Su Xiaoxi was so scared that she felt that the blade was about to cut her neck. She lowered her head in fear, and then she realized that there were teeth on the blade. After taking a closer look, she understood clearly.
This is not a blade, it is clearly a silver key. She immediately held down Gu Tingxi's wrist, raised her right leg and hooked her foot upward, "I have never heard of anyone who can kill someone with a key!"
Gu Tingxi didn't expect that the seemingly thin Su Xiaoxi still had some strength, so she simply fell backwards. Su Xiaoxi thought she had hurt Gu Tingxi and wanted to hold him back, but he fell with him.
Bang!
The two people immediately fell to the ground, next to them were the jingling silver keys.
Su Xiaoxi was about to get up when footsteps sounded outside the door. She immediately recognized that it was Xiaoyun who had just left and returned. Just as she was about to speak, her mouth was immediately blocked by Gu Tingxi, "Stop talking!"
"Um……"
"Do as I say, or I will let you be buried with me!" Gu Tingxi simply locked Su Xiaoxi's neck and came close to her ear. Suddenly he smelled the faint fragrance of grass and trees on her body. He was not tired of this smell, and his hands felt natural
He relaxed a little and said in her ear: "Listen to me, I won't hurt you."
Su Xiaoxi didn't want to die yet, so she had no choice but to nod immediately.
A few minutes later, the door was opened by Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun saw his young master lying on the bed as before, and the new young mistress was sitting next to him, feeding him water, and it seemed like nothing had happened.
"I didn't ask you to come in, why did you come in?" Su Xiaoxi put down the water glass in her hand, looked at Xiaoyun and scolded, "You clearly don't take me seriously? But after all, I am the young mistress that your young master has justifiably married you! Letter
If you don’t believe me, I’ll kick you out immediately?”
Xiaoyun was really frightened. He said sorry in panic, bowed his head and left immediately.
After Xiaoyun left, Su Xiaoxi collapsed on the side, looking at the man acting peacefully on the bed, thinking to herself, he is used to acting!
It’s already this time, and it’s amazing that you can still continue to perform!
Su Xiaoxi dialed Gu Tingxi and looked at him unhappily, "Gu Tingxi, stop pretending, Xiaoyun is gone, you'd better explain clearly what's going on, or I'll tell your story!"
The man on the bed opened his eyes, and his cold gaze fell on Su Xiaoxi's eyes.
Their eyes met, Su Xiaoxi felt suffocated by the sight, and she pulled her clothes with both hands. This man's eyes seemed to have magic, and he looked frightened.
Gu Tingxi saw Su Xiaoxi scratching and tearing the corners of her clothes nervously, and snorted disdainfully, "Look, I scared you!"
"I'm shocked. I'll go back first to calm down the shock!" Su Xiaoxi didn't even look at Gu Tingxi. From what she saw, the Gu family was full of thunder, so it would be best to leave without stepping on it.
"You'd better stand still, otherwise I will take back all the money you gave to the Su family."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Su Xiaoxi thought, her cheating father didn't regard her as a family member at all, so how much money Su Tian asked for or how much money the Gu family wanted to get back had nothing to do with her.
"Are you from Gu Botang? Gu Botang gave the Su family money, so you are not afraid of me?"
"Let me clarify it for you first. I don't know Gu Botang. I married here because I wanted to know the whereabouts of my mother. Su Tian's collection of money is his own business. I don't know anything about it. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out. I just met him the day before yesterday.
Before Su Tian, I lived in a temple in Taiping Mountain. As for your affairs, I swear I will not tell anyone, otherwise my name will be written backwards."
"I'm not stupid, will I believe your lies?"
"Then what do you want? The Gu family is full of minefields. I'm afraid that if I step on one, my life will depend on it."
"Stay and be Mrs. Gu, otherwise even if I let you go, Gu Botang won't let you go. When I get the right to look back at home, I want the money back to Su Tian, and then let him pay a sum of money. Let's see what Su Tian does.
Let you go!"
Su Xiaoxi's face turned dark. This person named Gu has been in a vegetative state for such a long time, so he knows everything!
It seemed that if she refused to agree to Gu Tingxi today, she would have no place to stay even if she left the Gu family. The thought of living on the street made her wilt.
Seeing Su Xiaoxi curling her lips, Gu Tingxi sneered disdainfully, "Aren't you leaving now?"
"It's getting dark today, and I'm not leaving yet!" Su Xiaoxi smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness and flattery on her face.
"I knew you were reluctant to leave me." Gu Tingxi said with a proud face, "Punch me on the back!"
"Hit you big-headed devil!" Su Xiaoxi clenched her fist and punched Gu Tingxi, but he moved out of the way very quickly. She took his pulse and confirmed that his pulse was strong and strong, not the same as before.
"Can you take the pulse?" Seeing Su Xiaoxi's calm look, and her performance yesterday, Gu Tingxi was sure that he knew some medical skills.
"I am studying at Yucheng Medical University. I just graduated this year and have only scratched the surface." Su Xiaoxi glanced at Gu Tingxi and said, "Your pulse is strong and strong, which is different from yesterday's. How did you do it?"
Su Xiaoxi was not willing to do such a thing as wading in muddy water, but since she couldn't leave, she had to find out the whole story.
"I'm allergic to chocolate. I eat a little before the doctor's check-up every day, and when he checks my pulse, he can feel that my pulse is very messy."
"Where's the chocolate?"
"It's in the drawer."
When Su Xiaoxi heard this, she opened the drawer and saw chocolate. This was definitely an unexpected bonus. She tore open the package and ate the chocolate.
Gu Tingxi saw Su Xiaoxi eating chocolate with her mouth full of chocolate, and she was full of disgust, "Have you never eaten chocolate?"
"I had it once. On my thirteenth birthday, a grandma came to the temple to pray for blessings and donated money for incense. I handed the incense to grandma. She saw that I was sensible and gave me a piece of chocolate in her pocket. That was my first
The first time I ate chocolate, I remember it was more delicious than your chocolate, well... your chocolate contains cocoa powder, sugar, and milk."
"What an ignorant mountain village woman, isn't that what's in the chocolate!"
"Yes! I, a village woman from the mountains, became your young master Gu Tingxi's wife. It just so happened that you, a dandy, insisted on keeping me, a village woman. I don't know who is more ignorant! I'm sorry, Gu Tingxi, he was so greedy that he ate it all.
I’ll take your chocolate and someone will check your pulse in a moment, I’m afraid you’ll get in trouble!”
