Tangled

123 Threat
Although his tone was the same as usual, but his face was gloomy, obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with pulling his cousin out to watch the fun.

Mu Chengze touched himself, laughed dryly, and pushed Shen Qiqi aside.

"Cousin, it's getting late, I'm going to rest first, you should go back to the room earlier."

He was afraid that Gu Tingshu would beat him up too, so he hurried into the room after speaking, not daring to take a second look.

His tone was as if he insisted on coming out.

Shen Qiqi blinked blankly, and suddenly felt that she didn't know what to say.

In fifteen long years, she had never seen such a brazen person.

"Shen Qi, go back."

Seeing her standing still, Gu Tingshu spoke in a cold voice.

Shen Qiqi regained her senses, stood up and bowed her knees to salute before slowly entering the room.

Seeing that he and Gu Tingshu were the only ones left in the yard, Amang, whose arm had been removed, held his arm, stubbornly refusing to ask for help.

Knowing that this pain was nothing to him, Gu Tingshu didn't give him a look, and found a place to sit down and rest by himself.

Amang waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the other party to return his arm for him. He bit his lip and shrank under the window of Shen Qiqi's room very aggrieved.

The wind blew up at night, and the temperature in the mountains dropped a lot. Without a blanket, I always felt a little cold.

The fire in the yard went out at some point, Shen Qiqi opened her eyes, but she could only see darkness.

She lay down for a while with her eyes open, and got used to the darkness in the room before getting up slowly.

"cousin."

She groped for the door and yelled before opening it.

When she got up, the bed board made a creaking sound, and Gu Tingshu was not far away, almost waking up when she made a movement.

"Ah."

"I'm a bit cold and can't sleep."

His voice was at the door, Shen Qiqi opened the door, his back was facing the stars, she could only see a long black shadow.

This family is extremely poor, the only thing in the house is the bedding made by their son and daughter-in-law, Shen Qiqi is not willing to cover it.

Gu Tingshu glanced into the house, went to light the lamp first, then turned around and went to the carriage to unpack the quilt, and brought back a thin quilt.

"Go and rest, I'll watch over here."

From her moist eyes, Gu Tingshu couldn't see a trace of sleepiness, so he knew that she slept too much in the afternoon.

He was sitting in the room, wiping the long sword in his hand, not looking at her.

Shen Qiqi came over and sat beside him, put her hands on the table, pressed her face to the side, and stared at him silently.

It feels like time has not passed, why does it feel like he has changed so much?
But if she wanted to ask him exactly what changed, she couldn't tell.

"Have something to say?"

Shen Qiqi shook her head, realizing that her movements were too small, she said again: "No."

"I just can't sleep, I want to see my cousin."

These days are opposite each other, what else is there to see.

Gu Tingshu raised his eyes to look at her, and saw that she didn't blink for a long time, so he put down his sword and came closer.

Because of his movements, the distance between the two of them was drawn extremely close, breathing intertwined with each other.

All that could be smelled in her nostrils was his body, Shen Qiqi blinked her eyes, her face was a little hot, and she stuck to it with the back of her hand in this position.

"After a few days in the sun, you seem to be much healthier."

"There is a little more blood on the face, and the feeling of weakness is much less." He looked again before nodding his head affirmatively.

Shen Qiqi straightened her waist, opened the distance between the two of them, and covered her face with her hands lightly, with joy in her eyes.

"really?"

Her eyes are too clear, and the flickering flames are all contained in her eyes.

Stared at by her bright eyes, Gu Tingshu suddenly felt his throat a little dry and itchy, his Adam's apple moved, and he said "hmm" in a hoarse voice.

Unexpectedly, this trip would have such an unexpected harvest, Shen Qiqi was overjoyed.

She also feels that her physical strength has improved a lot recently. She used to be out of breath after walking for a long time, but now she can last for more than half an hour.

If things go on like this, when she returns to the mansion, she might be even more powerful than Jinbao and Yinbao.

"Okay, you go to rest, you have to hurry tomorrow."

She wanted to say more, Gu Tingshu got up and lifted him directly to the bed.

"Go to sleep."

He put his index finger on her lips, signaling her not to speak.

The soft touch spread from the index finger to the body, Gu Tingshu's pupils shrank slightly, and Ruo Ruo unintentionally crushed it when he retracted.

Shen Qiqi didn't think much about it, it's just that she hadn't said a lot, and she didn't want to sleep much.

But he just stood by the bed, and gave him one or two orders not to speak anymore. Even if she still had a thousand words, they could only turn them into the word "good".

He just stood upright in front of the bed, although he could feel that his eyes did not fall on him, Shen Qiqi still felt embarrassed.

She thought that she would not be able to fall asleep in this situation, but she never thought that she would lose her senses not long after she closed her eyes.

When she fell asleep, Gu Tingshu looked down at his hands, then moved his eyes to her lips.

How could the girl's lips be so soft.

His eyes were heavy, and when he was about to make a move, he suddenly looked towards the door.

Aman didn't know dirty at all, he was lying outside the door right now, leaning his chin on the threshold and looking in.

Seeing Gu Tingshu looking over, he remembered that his arm hadn't been connected yet, so he muttered again.

"Bad man."

He was full of anger, looking like he was going to bite someone, and he didn't mean to beg for mercy at all.

Gu Tingshu looked at him for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into an arc.

Amang was terrified by this expression, and just about to speak, a small stone flew over and hit his neck. He opened his mouth to shout, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

He has become mute.

Realizing this possibility, he was anxious in an instant.

It's okay, if there is no sound, what if he wants to be hungry in the future?What should I do if I can't roar to deter prey?
He bared his teeth in anxiety, and even with only one intact arm left, he assumed the posture of a ferocious beast hunting for prey.

Gu Tingshu played with the jade token on his waist, and glanced at him lightly, "If you dare to wake her up, I'll take off your other arm as well."

This threat was so useful, after the words fell, Amon immediately shrank back.

He can't speak now, and he has only one arm left, so he can't fight anymore.

A manly man, isn't he just admitting cowardice? It's not like he doesn't know how to do it. At worst, he will be laughed at for two days.

He went back under the window again, Gu Tingshu went over and closed the door, and then came back and sat by the bed to continue watching.

When they left early in the morning, neither the old couple nor their grandson had woken up.

Shen Qiqi hid two ingots of silver by the bed, adding up to about 20 taels.

With this money, even if they can't find their son, they can bring up their grandson.

The group of four retreated silently, walked a long way, Mu Chengze walked to the window, and tapped lightly with a fan.

"Cousin, how many taels of silver did you steal?"
