Chapter 15 Xu Family Xu Jue
The lights were a little dim, and no one noticed this corner.

"Amitabha."

"Stop this trip, is your temple working or not? If it doesn't work, don't blame me for demolishing this ruined temple!"

How dare this man speak so boldly?

"It's a sin, my son, but it doesn't matter."

Gu Mingzhu approached slowly.

The man pondered for a while, and said: "I won't bully you either. I have someone I want to see. If you can make her appear by my side, I won't demolish this temple."

"Amitabha..." The old monk shook his head: "My son's request is too simple."

Simple?
The man's eyes dimmed, and he was about to speak.

"Xu Jue." Gu Mingzhu called softly.

The man turned around.

He was dressed in a blue and white robe, his figure was as tall and straight as a pine jade, his brows were clear and handsome, and there was a hint of surprise. He should have seen her here. He had the high spirits of a young man, and he looked young, but a year of weak crown.

Xu Jue was startled, as if he didn't expect Gu Mingzhu to appear in Licheng, or because of the two words she just named: "Gu Mingzhu?"

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "I've seen Mr. Xu."

Xu Jue said, "Why are you in Licheng?"

"Something happened to my family's business, so I came to Licheng."

Xu Jue said, "Why are you alone? Are you not afraid of danger?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "The Qingyong army is stationed outside the city, who dares to cause trouble in Licheng."

Xu Jue chuckled, turned to the old monk and said, "Let's forget about it today, and next time, don't blame me for smashing your ruined temple!"

The old monk Amitabha said, and went to find the abbot of the temple.

"Where do you live? I'll take you back." Xu Jue asked.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Tongfu Inn."

The two walked out of the temple gate.

Xu Jue said, "Why don't you stay at your own inn?"

"As soon as I live, other shops in Licheng will know that I'm here, so keep a low profile."

Xu Jue nodded clearly, and the two were speechless for a while.

Xu Jue walked slowly with his hands behind his back, walking in the busy city. He had an extraordinary handsome appearance, and he wore a simple robe that abruptly wore the spirit of a young man, attracting the attention of others frequently.

Gu Mingzhu sighed in his heart, and was about to ask him not to see him off, when he suddenly heard someone beside him ask, "Do you want to eat noodles?"

Gu Mingzhu looked at him in surprise.

Xu Jue said: "I just came back from the military camp and haven't eaten yet."

The hand behind her tightened slightly.

Gu Mingzhu paused for a while, and said, "It's just right, I didn't eat either."

Xu Jue took her to a relatively remote noodle stall, ordered two bowls of beef noodles, and soon the boss brought them out: "You two guests, your noodles are ready."

Gu Mingzhu was taken aback.

The bowl of beef noodles in front of me is attractive in color and fragrance, and just smelling the taste will make your index finger move. The beef in the bowl is very large, but there is no green onion. In Xu Jue's bowl, a handful of emerald green onions are sprinkled on the noodle soup. chopped green onion.

Xu Jue handed her the chopsticks that had been rolled in hot water, and said, "Eat."

Gu Mingzhu took the pair of clean chopsticks, but her heart was full of mixed feelings.

Xu Jue really pretended to be very good. If she hadn't known about it a long time ago, maybe she would have just regarded it as such a small act, but the boss forgot.

She remembered that she vaguely heard him tell the boss that he didn't want anything, so he told the boss not to put green onions!

Gu Mingzhu stirred the noodles, took a bite, and said, "It's delicious."

She actually had dinner before going out, but she couldn't say anything if she refused.

The person in front of him seemed to be really hungry, eating noodles with his head down.

Gu Mingzhu held the chopsticks in her hands, feeling sore in her heart.

The friendship between the Gu family and the Xu family is very shallow, and the gifts sent to the Xu family during the festivals are all given in the name of the elder brother. The elder brother met Xu Jue, and this is the root of the friendship between the two families.

Gu Mingzhu and Xu Jue met for the first time when she was 14 years old. Her brother took her to Yangzhou to play. In April, Yangzhou had a few days of heavy rain. Gu Mingzhu was trapped in a small courtyard for a few days, and she was very unhappy. At night, the door was knocked hastily.

"Wanwan... Wanwan..." It was my brother's voice.

Gu Mingzhu opened the door in a daze, and in the dark, her brother carried a person on his back, carrying the cold raindrops inside.

Gu Mingzhu lit the lamp and saw the appearance of the two clearly, but her face turned pale with fright.

The clothes on the elder brother's chest seemed to have been cut by a sharp knife, but there was no trace of blood, while the boy on his back was dressed in black, lifeless, with bright red blood dripping down the ground along his hanging arms.

Gu Xiurong carried the half-dead man onto the bed, and said anxiously: "Wanwan, try to save him!"

When Gu Mingzhu was ten years old, she had studied medicine with Dr. Liu at home for several years, and she had a little knowledge of medicine, but she had never seen such a bloody battle. She was pressed to the bedside by Gu Xiurong. Looking at the seriously injured boy, she hesitated and untied her. his clothes.

The elder brother went to distract the pursuers, and she had to let this man survive.

It was only later that Gu Mingzhu found out that the young man who was seriously injured in the night was Xu Jue, who was well-known in the Li country.

Xu Jue was so angry that she lost too much blood and became weak all over, but she sensed her nervousness, so she forced herself to joke and said, "... Wanwan, right? Don't be afraid, it's not your fault if you die."

Gu Mingzhu was checking his wounds. There were already many old scars on the young man's body, and two new wounds were added. The wounds were deep in the abdomen, and the flesh and blood turned out ferociously looked terrifying.

She forced herself to calm down and said, "I won't let you die."

The whole treatment process lasted for more than an hour. After she was bandaged, she was already sweating from exhaustion.

Gu Xiurong never came back.

Gu Mingzhu didn't dare to relax, because she knew that it was easy to get sick when seriously injured, and then the boy developed a high fever in the middle of the night, Gu Mingzhu poured him the medicine prepared early in the morning, and he woke up once on the way, insisting on getting up , so frightened that Gu Mingzhu hurried to help him: "What are you doing? You are seriously injured and cannot move around."

Xu Jue grabbed her with one hand, wanted to ask something, but his mind was confused, and suddenly felt a warm touch on his lips, and then he was pushed heavily on the bed.

Gu Mingzhu covered her mouth and stared angrily at the person on the bed, a fire rose from the bottom of her feet.

That's abominable!

No one knew, even Xu Jue himself didn't know what happened.

……

A finger dangled in front of her face.

Gu Mingzhu suddenly came back to her senses.

At the noodle stall, Xu Jue looked at her with doubts: "Why are you so preoccupied?"

Gu Mingzhu put away her old thoughts and said with a smile, "I think about some things from the past."

"what's up?"

Gu Mingzhu didn't want to tell him what happened that night in Yangzhou, so she said: "When I thought of the time when I was playing with Wu Yue in Gusu, I was away from home for a few days, so I can't help but miss him."

Xu Jue smiled: "You and Wu Yue are childhood sweethearts and have a deep friendship. I really envy you."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Xu Shizi envies Wu Yue and me, but Wu Yue admires you very much. When he came, he even asked me to pay a visit to the residence."

Xu Jue said, "When?"

kindness?
Gu Mingzhu asked in surprise, "What?"

Xu Jue said, "When did you come to Xu Mansion?"

Gu Mingzhu never thought that he would take it seriously, and when she was thinking about how to evade it, Xu Jue said again: "My mother has heard about you, and has always wanted to see you."

Not suitable.

Gu Mingzhu shook her head inwardly. She came to Kyushu this time in a hurry, and the [-]th of next month will be her father's [-]th birthday. According to the memory of her previous life, the result of Chun Wei will be next month, and she still has a lot to do.
