Chapter 17 The man who fell from the sky

"Ah!" The leading man's face was suddenly hit by a stone, and he let out a cry of pain, followed by a few inexplicable blows to his stomach and knees, the man clutched his stomach and backed away, cursing and shouting to the surroundings, "Who! Pretending to be a ghost, come out for me!"

As soon as the words fell, a man in black clothes descended from the sky like a god, and stood in front of Qiu Yeli, staring at them fiercely, "Hand over your purse."

Qiu Yeli opened her eyes slightly, Gu Jingyao?Why is he here?
"What are you! You don't inquire about it, sir, I... ah... it hurts." Before the man finished speaking, Gu Jingyao had already grasped the man's arm and pressed it back firmly, causing the man to continue to hurt Huh, the people behind me want to help but dare not move
"Here you are" the man couldn't take it anymore, he took out his purse and handed it to Gu Jingyao, begging him to let him go.

Qiu Yeli stood behind her with her arms crossed and watched this scene. The man took advantage of Gu Jingyao's purse and wanted to escape, but Gu Jingyao dragged him back by his collar and sent him to the yamen before leaving.

"Here." Gu Jingyao handed over the purse and asked her to check if there was any money missing. Qiu Yeli shook her head and looked at him in a strange way, "I made spices and sold them to Tianxiangju."

Hearing that she was explaining to himself, Gu Jingyao was slightly stunned, then nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Why are you here?" Qiu Yeli opened his mouth and said.

"You didn't go back all this time, so I came to take a look." Gu Jingyao's face flushed slightly, and he didn't know why he cared so much about Qiu Yeli.

"Well, thank you just now." Qiu Yeli nodded knowingly, and thanked politely.

"It should be, I am your husband, so naturally I should protect you." Gu Jingyao couldn't help frowning at her polite and alienated appearance. Although the two knew it well, it was just a contract marriage, but Gu Jingyao was a little unhappy.

Arrived home before the sun set, Qiu Yeli bought a lot of new year's goods, Li Xiaozhu was very happy, but Li Xiaoyue was not at home.

"Where's sister?" Gu Jingyao frowned slightly, this Li Xiaoyue was always a headache, even more naughty than a little boy.

Li Xiaozhu shook his head, holding the candy man bought by Qiuye Li, and smashed his mouth happily, wishing that Li Xiaoyue would not be at home, so that she could enjoy these delicious food to herself.

Mu Se was drooping, the winter night came earlier than before, Gu Jingyao was worried, and after talking to Qiu Yeli, he was ready to go out to look for Li Xiaoyue.

Qiu Yeli responded, and took back the spices that had been drying in the daytime, and the house was almost repaired, and it should be able to have a good year.

Outside the small courtyard of the Gu family.

Gu Jingyao stepped on the snow and made creaking noises. Suddenly there was a strange noise in the nearby forest. Gu Jingyao stopped and stared at him vigilantly. A man in black came out from behind the tree and bowed his head respectfully. Said, "Master, you have suffered!"

Gu Jingyao waved his hand and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong in the palace?"

The man shook his head and said hastily, "There is nothing unusual in the palace, the subordinate was ordered to come to suppress the bandits, so I came to see you."

"You need to be careful in everything right now, let's go, don't come." Gu Jingyao glanced at the man in disapproval, and said firmly.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" The man was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Gu Jingyao.

"Hey, do you have silver taels on you?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and hurriedly took out all the money on his body, "Master, there are only five taels of silver left, tomorrow."

Gu Jingyao stayed in this little-known small village by accident. In order to avoid the eyeliner in the palace, he has been a hunter in peace and order. He has never accepted the aid of these former subordinates and brothers from them. What is it now? What kind of grievance has he suffered, but he doesn't hesitate to speak.

"That's enough, don't come again, let's go!" Gu Jingyao has a bit of a scumbag potential, turning his face and refusing to recognize anyone, his subordinates looked at the man hurriedly leaving in aggrieved way, maybe there will be eyeliner in such a remote place, after all, Jun Xin Unpredictable.

Gu Jingyao walked a few more steps, seeing Li Xiaoyue walking towards the house step by step.

"Why did you come back so late? Do you know it's not safe?" Gu Jingyao seldom spoke so harshly, and the little girl was scolded all over her face, feeling very unconvinced.

"What's not safe, I'm just going to find Sister Qiulian." Li Xiaoyue flattened her lips and said back.

"Don't go in the future, if you don't obey me, don't recognize me as a father!" Gu Jingyao looked at the little girl angrily, neither hitting nor not hitting!

"Hmph! If you don't recognize it, you don't recognize it! Anyway, you are not my biological father!" The little girl was also annoyed, she shook off Gu Jingyao's hand and walked home.

Qiu Yeli was making dinner, when she saw the father and daughter walking in angrily one after the other, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What's going on here?"

"Don't worry about it! Fake woman!" Li Xiaoyue yelled at Qiu Yeli, turned around and buried her face in the quilt.

Gu Jingyao squinted his eyes and was about to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Qiu Yeli. Li Xiaoyue was very rebellious, and the more he confronted him, the more rebellious he became.

Qiu Yeli cooked a table full of dishes, all of which Li Xiaozhu had never seen before. The little girl surrounded the table happily eating, but Li Xiaoyue buried her head and sulked, swallowing secretly at the smell of the rice.

After the meal, Gu Jingyao awkwardly handed over the money in his arms to Qiu Yeli. The woman was a little stunned, looking at the white money, she said, "Did you go to rob?"

Gu Jingyao coughed lightly, and said unnaturally, "No, I saved it."

"Then what are you going to do for me?" Qiu Yeli still didn't understand why he gave her money to herself.

"All other people's money is handed over to the wife. You can keep the money, so you don't have to work so hard." Gu Jingyao knew that she got up early to grind the spices, and didn't want her to be too tired.

"Okay, then I'll keep it for you first." Qiu Yeli didn't hesitate anymore, and took the money, thinking that he would just discuss with him about sending Li Xiaoyue and Li Xiaozhu to a private school.As a new and independent woman in the 21st century, she naturally does not believe in the sour saying that a woman is virtuous without talent, and these two little sisters really should receive the influence of knowledge.

On the other side, Li Xiaozhu sneaked into the back room and stood by the bed.

"Sister, don't you really want to eat? The braised pork cooked by mother is delicious!" Li Xiaozhu walked over with the food and said in a low voice, "Although Daddy said I don't care about you, but I'm your sister, why don't you eat it?" I have the heart to see you go hungry, this is what I secretly saved for you!"

"Don't eat! Take it away!" Li Xiaoyue's muffled voice came from under the quilt, Gu Jingyao's words kept ringing in his mind, since he doesn't want to care about himself, then what is she still doing here!She's leaving now!

At night, while the family was sound asleep, a small figure tiptoed out of the house and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
