Blissful Days After Widowhood

    Since there are more people in the kitchen, Gu Yin feels a lot more comfortable - the people around the little emperor are too pampered, the firewood and water in the water tank in the Wen family's big kitchen are less and less every day. Although someone would bring some every day, but it was only enough for her to cook for the little emperor. She also eats and drinks here, and she has to rely on herself to chop wood and carry water, which has become more and more inconvenient.

      Take it away—I really think it's too shabby to put such a person in the emperor's pantry.

    But later saw that the young man could really work, Gu Yin also stuffed a few pumpkin seeds to help him intercede, and the **** Shang Shan left him again.

    Although an "inmate" has been added, the life in prison has not changed. Gu Yin's heart is really hard to hide.

    The expression of her anxiety is that she becomes more talkative.

    "Bench, don't chop wood, it's enough for several days."

    "Bench, why are you going out to fetch water again? There is enough water, you can rest."

    Fortunately, the young man was inaudible, and he was still busy in and out, as if he had no time to spare. Moreover, the other party would not be impatient when she saw Gu Yin's mouth opening and closing.

    Gu Yin didn't really want to tell him anything, of course, she was just looking for something to say. So most of the time she hurriedly waved her hand and asked him to do her own thing, and when he turned around, she continued to meditate.

    Sometimes she would laugh while thinking of Gu Yin, when did she talk so much? Usually, she occasionally feels that her mother-in-law is a little nagging, but now she is ten times more nagging than her mother-in-law.

    The bench is also inaudible. It is estimated that changing someone will make her talk crazy.

    Of course, the most comforting thing for her is the eating of the youth.

    It's not that he will gobble it so badly, but that the food that Gu Yin cooks is really delicious.

    It is no worse than the later generations of food and broadcast bloggers. Every time I take a bite, there will be an expression of unpretentious, admiration and enjoyment on my face.

    And Gu Yin also found that his appetite was not small, and he could eat three bowls of hand-made noodles in one go. She likes what she can eat, and cooking for such people is her original intention as a cook!

    Three days later, the atmosphere of the Wen family changed.

    Both the eunuchs and the guards loosened up from the state of high tension.

      They didn't leave after eating, they gathered in this small yard to drink and gamble.

    Gu Yin can occasionally hear some outside things from their mouths.

     "That is, when we fight back to the capital someday, I will cut off the heads of that servant and the anti-king, and hang them on the city wall!"

    "Alas, when will I be able to return to the capital? This town is so small, and if I stay in the nest, I will waste all my martial arts!"

    "I want so much! Come, I'm drunk now!"

    Accompanied by the voice, the sound of rolling dice and pushing Pai Gow is very loud.

    Gu Yin was cooking food for these uncles in the kitchen and couldn't help but snort.

    These people still despise the town, so wouldn't they beg these people to come? But let's go, Hanshan Town cannot tolerate these great Bodhisattvas!

    "Bench, do you know what generals they are talking about?"

    The young man is sitting in front of the stove and making a fire, naturally he can't give any reaction.

    Gu Yin was standing by the pot cooking vegetables, and without looking at him, she muttered softly to herself: "I heard that he is so powerful that he can tear up living people. Chicken, how do you tear this living person?"

    The young man suddenly turned his face and his body trembled slightly.

    Just as Gu Yin cooked a plate of hot dishes, seeing him ask him why?

    He turned his head and made a coughing mouth.

    "Then be careful." After Gu Yin finished speaking, she went out with the dishes.

    The man's face was red and he was drunk, obviously drunk.

    The people around him laughed, "Is Brother Rong drunk? This is the black cook in the kitchen, not the charming little lady in the brothel Chu Pavilion."

    The guard Rong narrowed his eyes with difficulty, and finally saw that standing in front of him was a black-faced, pot-lid bang-covered face, and deliberately made herself greasy, Gu Yin, immediately He spread his hands and spat: "Unfortunate!"

    Other people burst into laughter, and I don't know who started to say: "Come on, come on, in a new game, just use this black cook as a bet, and the loser will kiss her, Dare you all?"

    They are all young and vigorous young men, who would say no at the wine table and gambling table?

    Gu Yin was about to run away, but someone grabbed her arm. The dice was shaken again, and several people quickly threw them one after another, and the one with the smallest number was the guard Rong.

    "Haha Rong brother is really 'good luck' today!"

    "I'm willing to admit defeat, Brother Rong is not a shame!"

    Everyone laughed and pushed the losing guard Rong to stand up.

    Gu Yin hurriedly retreated and said, "Sir, please forgive the woman, the woman has an ugly face and is married to a woman!"

    Otherwise, she would be bitten by a dog, Gu Yin had nowhere to hide and could only think so helplessly.

    Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind her and clasped the hand of the guard Rong accurately.

    "Who?" The guard Rong was already angry, and when he was stopped, he became more and more annoyed, and when he saw that it was the deaf and dumb lame young man who stopped him, he was furious: "You bastard. Dare to stop me?"

    Others didn't come to help, they just hurriedly said: "Don't be this trash and this black cook for a few days, and they have become a couple? Brother Rong has become The person who wins everyone's favor! Hahahaha..."

    The hostility in the young man's eyes disappeared for a moment, but then he let go of his hand and flattered a plate of peanuts in his hand, indicating that he was here to deliver snacks.

    He limped and put the appetizers on the table, suddenly slumped and threw himself on the small table. The small table was pressed by his tall body and immediately fell apart. , Pai Gow, dice, wine jars, and dishes on the table are scattered all over the place.

    It's not just that Rong's bodyguard, everyone else is also angry.

    "You can't walk the path of the lame, right?!"

    Everyone's fists fell like raindrops, and the beating young man hugged his head and begged for mercy.

    And Gu Yin had already seen the right time to go out and invited the **** Shangshan who was also in the yard.

      Persuaded: "Masters, don't make trouble at this juncture! After all, these are all people who feed the saint!"

    The character of the little emperor is not easy to be with.

    Especially at this stall now, if he beats people out in Wen's house, he will be the first to let them go!

    The guards were also afraid of this, stopped their hands angrily, and spat: "The trash matches the ugly, just right!"

    When the **** Shangshan coaxed the uncles away, Gu Yin immediately stepped forward to help the young man up.

    "How is it? Does it hurt?" She tried to mouth shape to him.

    The young man shook his head and waved his hand to indicate that he did not need her to help him, and stood up by himself.

    The two returned to the stove, Gu Yin asked him to sit next to him, while she boiled eggs.

    The young man waved his hands again and again, indicating that he would come.

    Gu Yin insisted: "Let me come, let me do something for you anyway."

    After coming into contact with her these days, she knew that the young man in front of her was lame, but whether he was chopping firewood or carrying water, he walked very steadily. The fall he just fell, naturally, deliberately made a relief for her.

    Only then did the young man roll up his sleeves to his wrists, and Gu Yin realized that he still had some bruises on his hands. It was not caused by just now, and there were still several days of injuries. Not only did he get bruised, he also had old wounds on his arms caused by other sharp tools. Although the scars had fallen off, it was still shocking to look at.

    A deaf and mute person can live to such an age, and he has no idea how much he suffered.

    Gu Yin's eyes were sore, she could only force herself not to look more, and gently rolled a boiled egg on his bruises, "There is no medicine now, so I can only disperse it like this. When we go out, I'll buy you some medicine for wounds, the best kind... Then don't go anywhere else, just eat it back with me, and be my buddy. I'll pay you to work, if you don't Let you be bullied."

    The man let her roll over the bruise on her arm, and Gu Yin asked him to roll up another sleeve, but he refused.

    Gu Yin no longer forced him, let him do it himself, while she supported her chin and watched.

    The young man took care of the bruise on the other arm again. When he raised his eyes again, he gave a slight pause and pointed to his chin.

    Gu Yin immediately understood, took out the small mirror she carried with her and took a look - the pot ashes on her chin were wiped off, revealing her originally fair complexion.

    But fortunately, the pot ash she uses is often smeared, and she just needs to smear it.

    Pot ash is not resistant to water and rubbing. These days, Gu Yin has "taken off her makeup" more than once. But fortunately, this young man reminds her every time, and has never expressed any curiosity or inquiry about her intentionally smearing her face, let alone any behavior that goes beyond the norm, that's why Gu Yin wants to send him away in Shangshan Eunuch Pray for him while you're out doing other chores.

    Now she feels even more that she did the right thing, she helped him, and the other party helped her today.

     Later, Gu Yin boiled a pot of eggs for him and asked him to take it back and slowly roll it at night.

      Revealed.

    …

    Late spring and early summer are the only rainy seasons in Hanshan Town.

    The young man helped bring hot water into the room, Gu Yin washed and washed her hair, and then wiped a handful of pot ashes while pouring the water.

    This damned time in prison, one can't relax for a moment, and I have to smear the ashes before going to bed.

    After wiping, she lay down on the bed.

    Because of something in her heart, she has been sleeping restlessly these days.

    Listening to the sound of rain this day, it is rare to have a good sleep.

     She slept until midnight when she was disturbed by the sound of footsteps in the yard.

    "Search here, go there!"

    The guards filed in with torches, Gu Yin immediately put on clothes and went out when she heard the sound.

    The **** Shangshan also came out, and when he saw the battle, he immediately asked what happened.

    This team of guards is headed by Narong Guards, his face is ashen, and he said: "Catch the assassins, everyone comes out!"

    "Oh my God!" Eunuch Shangshan exclaimed, caressing his chest and said, "Is there nothing wrong with the sage?"

    "The holy bow is safe." Rong guard suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood.

    Before the late emperor went, he left a hundred dark guards for Emperor Longqing. These dark guards are loyal and strong in martial arts. Although more than half of it has been damaged along the way, there are also twenty or thirty middle-level players who take turns to protect Emperor Longqing.

    Generally not to mention assassins, even flies and mosquitoes can't escape the eyes of these people.

    But it was raining heavily today, and there was an assassin wearing a mask to escape the eyes and ears of these people, all the way to the bedroom of Emperor Longqing.

    If Emperor Longqing hadn't been wearing the most precious soft hedgehog armor, and the opponent was defenseless, he only attacked with fists, I'm afraid...

    However, this is the case, Emperor Longqing still suffered serious injuries, but only those close to him knew about it and did not dare to publicize it at this stall.

    After they heard the noise, they naturally rushed in to **** them.

    Of course, it was mainly the helpless dark guard who pushed the assassin back. These guards, who came from noble backgrounds, did not dare to fight with others, but just drew their knives and rushed in to pretend.

    But I don't know what happened, and the assassin came at them.

    Although he was unarmed, his fist was like a dark cloud, and it was wrapped in a ten thousand force. Guard Rong was punched by him, and the pain in his internal organs was like a fire. The guards who played well with him were even more cunning than him, hiding as much as they could, but they were also injured more or less.

    In the end, a few dark guards followed the assassin into the guards, which forced them back.

    A mouthful of blood coughed up, he couldn't hold back the pain in his lungs, his face was wrinkled in pain.

    Gu Yin resisted the urge to laugh and pretended to be worried.

    Gu Yin immediately explained: "He couldn't hear the sound, maybe he was still asleep."

    But soon, a guard came out of the house where the young man lived, saying that he was not there.

    "Quickly search for me! Be sure to find that assassin!"

    Guard Rong pushed aside the **** Gu Yin and Shangshan, held the wound in one hand, held a knife in the other, and kicked open the door of the **** Shangshan.

    The last lap was searched, and the young man was still missing. At this time, only Gu Yin's house was not searched.

    Guardian Rong kicked open the door of Gu Yin's house again, and a group of people rushed in.

    Gu Yin hurriedly followed, only to see a very conspicuous bulge on the bed in the unobstructed room.

    Gu Yin covered the surprise in her eyes and watched Guard Rong lift the quilt.

    The deaf-mute young man was wearing only a middle coat at this time, and was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. It was not until the quilt was lifted that he sat up and saw so many people in the room. Man, his dark face also showed embarrassing red, and he quickly got out of bed with a limp and handed over to beg for mercy.

    Everyone in the house focused their attention on Gu Yin's face again. She bit her lip and said, "Your Excellency knows, the woman didn't have the nerve to say it. He...he has been in my house."

    The guards even looked at the **** Shangshan with disdain and contempt.

      .

      thing."

    Gu Yin lowered her eyes and apologized repeatedly, and promised that there would be no next time, so she sent Eunuch Shangshan away.

    Finally everyone left, Gu Yin removed the embarrassed look on her face, closed the door with a sullen face, and lit the oil lamp on the table.

    The two looked at each other, and finally the young man said, "Thank you."

    His voice was deep and deep, giving a very reassuring feeling in this rainy night.

    Gu Yin didn't care about her appreciation, she just said: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. I've worked with you these days, and if you're an assassin, I can't escape. "

    This man can attack the little emperor in the well-guarded Wen family, and he can pretend to be a deaf, mute, and lame disabled person these days, and hide the person she is facing every day, whether it is martial arts It's this kind of heart that's shocking.

    If you really betrayed him, he will probably be able to fight it out. She has no martial arts skills, but is likely to be regarded as an assassin and a scapegoat.

    Moreover, Gu Yin didn't have the slightest affection for the party that abolished the emperor, and felt a little pity for him. If he was successfully assassinated today, the little emperor would be gone, and the predicament in front of him would naturally be dissolved.

    The more you know, the quicker you die. Suppressing her curiosity, Gu Yin closed her mouth and stopped talking.

    "Thank you again." After saying this, the man first took out his clothes from the bottom of the bed. It was a night clothes, but when he shook it in reverse, it immediately changed into his usual clothes. brown bunt. Then he picked up the Taishi chair in the room with one hand and put it in the corner, sat down with eyes closed, and stopped talking.

    Gu Yin sat with him silently for half the night, locked the doors and windows as soon as he left and lay down to catch up with sleep.

    When she slept until dawn, Gu Yin was still the ugly and shriveled cook, and the man was still the ugly, deaf, dumb, and lame cook.

    Both of them acted as if nothing had happened, but Gu Yin would never talk to him again.

    After a day, someone around Emperor Longqing said that he was leaving Hanshan Town - he encountered an assassination, and the assassin has not been arrested, so the place is naturally no longer safe.

    Gu Yin couldn't help but sighed in relief when she heard the news, but before she was happy, the **** Shangshan actually asked Gu Yin to pack up and go with her!

    This dog emperor almost died, and now he has to run for his life all night, don't you forget to eat and drink? !

    Gu Yin gritted her teeth with hatred, and did not dare to show anything on her face.

    The young man was already a member of the kitchen, so when Gu Yin moved, he followed.

    Just before departure, when the young man passed by Gu Yin, he said in an inaudible voice, "I'll help you escape later."

    It was just these few words, Gu Yin suddenly felt relieved.

    Thousands of Guards evacuated overnight, but they didn't go far. After walking for about a day, the large army climbed a mountain and arrived at a bandit village.

    After the bandits were wiped out, the Janissaries were stationed here.

    The environment here is simple, so naturally Gu Yin and the others are no longer as scattered as before. And after observing for such a period of time, several of them are also honest.

    So Gu Yin stayed with the shopkeeper Zhou and Master Yuan. Only when they were cooking, would someone come in to supervise and test the poison.

    Although it's only been less than a month, but seeing each other again, everyone has a sense of a different year.

     Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but red eyes, and asked Gu Yin how are you doing these days? Did you suffer?

    Gu Yin also had a sour nose, and said, "I'm fine, I just cook every day, and then I'm just being watched. How about you all? Do you know what's going on outside?"

    Master Yuan is treated the same as her, so she doesn't know what's going on outside.

    But the shopkeeper Zhou is responsible for making a big pot of rice for the soldiers. In addition, he is a person who speaks and does everything.

    Before this meeting, shopkeeper Zhou had inquired about Gu Yin's news. Although she was not detailed, she knew that the food she made was very in line with the taste of the little emperor, and she was not scolded. . But in the end, he heard her say it himself, and he felt at ease.

    During this time, the shopkeeper Zhou not only cooked for them, but also took the errands out of the shopping on himself.

    Of course, there are people watching over him, not letting him have contact with outsiders, just using his knowledge of Hanshan Town to act cheaply.

    But if he can go out, he knows something.

    The situation outside was better than they thought. Except for the Wen family and a few cooks who were involved, the lives of other ordinary people were not affected. This time, the little emperor took people away, and only took away Mr. Wen and their group, and the rest of the people were not affected.

      stand alone.

    He was afraid that Gu Ye would act rashly, so he hurriedly gestured to him and told him not to move.

    "I met again later, Ono pretended to be ignorant and bumped into us. I took the opportunity to shove the cloth strip with writing on him. Everyone in the house knew that we were all safe and sound. Shouldn't be too anxious."

    Gu Yin can keep calm when she is alone, when she heard the news about Gu Ye, she couldn't help clenching her fists worriedly, "This child has a big idea, I can manage it when I'm at home One or two. My mother can't control him. Now that we have left Hanshan Town, I am afraid that the child will follow."

    If someone is caught as a spy... Gu Yin can't imagine such a result.

    After hesitating, Gu Yin still found the young man. The mountain they are now on is huge, and the guards have to patrol from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, and there are not enough people to do the rough work. He has not only helped in the kitchen, but spent most of his time outside doing other chores.

    "I'll help you stay ahead. You helped me solve the dilemma. This is a draw. But on the rainy night, I will help you again. I hope you will pay me back." The person who seeks retribution, but for Gu Ye, she can only be cheeky.

    Seeing the pleading in her eyes, the young man did not show any impatience, but simply said: "You say."

    "My son may come with me." Gu Yin endured a heart-wrenching feeling, and said with difficulty: "He is more than five years old and runs very fast. Ordinary martial arts practitioners can't outrun him. Met…"

    She has a five-year-old son. The young man's eyes couldn't help falling on her woman's bun, and he quickly moved his eyes away and said, "I understand."
