Chapter 101 The Official Position Obtained by Killing His Wife and Abandoning His Son to Climb to a Famous Family
He Meixiong was gearing up and was overjoyed. He took a day off from Guo Shanchuan and went into the mountains with He Yao.

It was early winter, the mountains were quiet, and countless old trees had lost their dead leaves. The two of them walked in the woods with bows and arrows on their backs. Occasionally, they could hear strange animal calls from the depths of the mountains.

He Yao took a long knife and cut open the thorn bushes in front of him, "I don't know where everyone else went hunting, why don't we even have a hare here?"

He Meixiong looked up at the sky.

It was clearly morning, but the sky was gloomy.

She worried: "Second cousin, I'm afraid there will be heavy rain today."

He Yao followed Wangtian, "Can't you? At least stay until dusk, let's hunt some prey before it rains!"

However, the sky did not fulfill the wishes of the people. Just after noon, as the dark clouds rolled over and the thunder rolled, the heavy rain poured down instantly.

The weather was cold, and the mountains were wet. The raindrops of beans pierced through the woods and poured on people's bodies, exuding a biting chill, but in an instant, He Yao and He Meixiong were drowned.

The two hurried towards the camp, He Meixiong wiped the rain from his face, "Damn it, damn it! Hunting every year has never been so outrageous. Second cousin, we haven't caught a rabbit yet! Give it to my brother!" You know, I went hunting in the mountains and found nothing, you will definitely laugh at me!"

"Don't say a few words!" He Yao shouted, "At least we picked up some mushrooms, and it would be good to cook mushroom soup at night!"

The rain was too fierce, and there was a strong wind in all directions. When I opened my mouth to speak, the cold rain could be blown into my mouth by the wind.

The two hurried back to the camp, and as soon as they approached the foot of the mountain, they heard overwhelming shouts from a distance.

They walked through the dense forest and couldn't help being stunned by the scene in front of them.

The original camp was set up at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, this autumn rain came suddenly, the rocks rolled, and the high mountain on which it was backed slipped, almost destroying most of the tents!

The sky was gray, the rain was still heavy, and there were rocks and mud everywhere.

The female relatives who were resting in the tents were forced to escape from the tents and stood on the open ground holding umbrellas. Their luxurious skirts were splashed with mud, and their delicately made-up faces were also dirty. He stared at the tents with concern.

He Yao listened to the discussion of the people next to her, and realized that the landslide happened suddenly, and some people didn't even have time to escape.

She was still watching the fun, when He Meixiong suddenly dropped the mushroom she was holding in her arms, shouted "Guo Shanchuan", and quickly ran towards a half-collapsed tent in the distance.

He Yao reached out to pull her, but couldn't hold her back.

She thought of Guo Yingying again, looked around, but did not see her among the escaped female relatives.

Those guards are also watching people order food. The Guo family is not prominent, so they naturally want to save others first.

He Yao frowned and had no choice but to bite the bullet and find someone.

He Meixiong pushed away a huge rock and tore open a corner of the tent with brute force, "Guo Shanchuan?"

The tent was messy and messy, and the sick and weak boy was curled up in a corner, with blood oozing from his body, staining the Yuebai hipless robe red, half of his face was stained with mud, and it looked like he was alive or dead.

"Guo Shanchuan!"

He Meixiong ran over and shook him, and felt relieved when he saw that he was still breathing, and carried him out of the tent on his back.

The mountain rain is pouring, and it is bitingly cold.

Guo Shanchuan opened his eyes weakly, and seeing that the girl carrying him was He Meixiong, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, "You...have you hunted a rabbit yet?"

He Meixiong gritted his teeth, "When is it, I'm almost dying, and you still ask me if I have hunted a rabbit?"

Guo Shanchuan just laughed.

Smiling and laughing, he coughed violently again, and the blood he coughed up stained He Meixiong's clothes red.

He raised his sleeve with difficulty, trying to wipe off the blood on her back, but he couldn't wipe it off.

After a while, he exhaled lightly and fainted on He Meixiong's back.

He Yao also found the surviving Guo Yingying.

Guo Yingying held her hand tightly and cried out in fear, "I was buried below, no matter how much I shouted, no one came to save me...One year old, I am so scared, so scared, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !"

Her knees were weak and she could barely walk.

He Yao had to be forced to hug her, "What's so scary, human life is cheap, but it's not easy to die. People are always stronger than they think."

Guo Yingying lay in her arms, clutching her lapel tightly, still sobbing uncontrollably.

When the rain stopped, it was dusk.

The emperor was furious, no longer in the mood to hunt, and wanted to go back to the palace directly, but the way out of the mountain was blocked by rocks, and it would not be cleaned up until early tomorrow morning, so everyone had to stay in the mountain overnight.

After the heavy rain, the night sky is clear.

He Meixiong found a cave and specially lit a fire for Guo Shanchuan to keep warm.

Guo Shanchuan had a high fever, and he leaned on her shoulder in a daze. His breathing was so weak that He Meixiong doubted whether he could survive the night.

She took out a ginseng pill from her purse and stuffed it into Guo Shanchuan's mouth.

Ginseng pills are made from hundreds of years old wild ginseng that my grandfather personally collected in the mountains. They are very precious and can be used to extend your life at critical moments. You can’t buy them even if you have money outside.

When Guo Shanchuan's breathing became more stable, she lightly leaned him against the wall, got up and walked out of the cave.

Most of the aristocrats who came to participate in the hunting chose to spend the night in the carriage tonight. The guards were still dealing with the gravel and soil, planning to dig out the people who were crushed to death at the foot of the mountain. The moonlight fell silently, and the whole mountain range glowed Silvery white luster.

He Meixiong blew the wind for a while, and saw a person standing in the distance.

It's Guo Duanping.

A huge ravine formed at the foot of the mountain. He stood alone by the ravine holding a lantern, not knowing what he was thinking.

He Meixiong saw that no one was paying attention here, so he walked forward slowly, "I say hello to you, sir. Why are you standing here if you don't want to rest?"

Guo Duanping was holding the lantern, but the light and shadow of the lantern was so weak that it couldn't illuminate the situation below the ravine.

He said slowly: "Today, thank you for risking your life to save Shanchuan."

"Individual matter."

Guo Duanping didn't seem to regard her as an outsider, and seemed to be talking to himself, "I wanted to take advantage of the hunting to present a white deer to the Queen, so as to improve my official position to a higher level, but I didn't expect that the winter hunting would be so bad." , even the white deer couldn’t be sent out.”

He Meixiong looked at his back, but said nothing.

Guo Duanping continued: "I was able to recite poems at the age of three and compose poems at the age of seven. I was very smart in reading, which gave me ambition and lofty ambitions. Although I came from a poor family, I wanted to make the Guo family shine again on my own. Let the Guo family be among the great families. However, more than 20 years later, I am already over [-] years old, but I am still only the least popular official in Luojing City. Even when my children are in danger, I am not the first among the guards. A person who chooses to save. In front of those high-ranking families, the Guo family is as low as dust. I often think, I have worked so hard, I have given so much, I even lost a son, but why, why I still can't follow Are those aristocratic families comparable?"

His voice seemed very old tonight.

The light of the lantern danced, illuminating his grayer hair.

He Meixiong was silent for a long time, and said indifferently: "How can your efforts alone be worth the management of several generations of other families? What's more, the official position you got by killing your wife and abandoning your son to cling to a famous family is not really hard work, right? "
