Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 247 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (37)

Just before Gu Xiao arrived, Jiang Qiuchen opened his eyes in a daze.

After realizing that she had accidentally fallen asleep, she smiled apologetically at Wen Rushi.

Before I could say a word, I heard noise outside the house.

With a creak, the door of the woodshed opened.

Gu Xiao stood outside the door with his hands on his hips and raised his chin to look into the house.

I thought I would see two pitiful unlucky guys, but unexpectedly I saw two cool guys lying there.

"What's going on?! Who untied the hemp ropes between these two people?"

Gu Xiao felt that he was being mocked by their attitude, and asked with a frown in displeasure.

Hearing their master's scolding, the guards all lowered their heads in fear. The leading guard also looked surprised and hurried forward to explain.

"Sir, after these two were locked up in the woodshed, the guards only stood guard outside the room and never went in. I think they must have been alone..."

What he meant was that the hemp rope was untied by the two of them themselves and had nothing to do with the people outside.

Gu Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him. Neither of them looked like martial artists with such ability.

What's even more strange is that since the two men had untied the hemp ropes and were able to move freely, why didn't they leave but instead stayed in the woodshed waiting for him?
Could it be an ambush? !
Gu Xiao shuddered and raised his hands across his chest to guard against sudden attacks.

His eyes looked around, afraid of missing something.

Jiang Qiuchen couldn't help laughing when he saw his paranoid look.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Gu, Young Master Gu, you are a little too timid."

"This is your place. There are only two of us. You have a huge group of guards behind you. What are you afraid of?"

After being reminded by Jiang Qiucheng, Gu Xiao reacted quickly and talked to himself.

“Yes, this is my home.”

Then he put his hands down, put them behind his back, and coughed twice awkwardly.

"Bring these two people out to me. I want to teach them a lesson!"

As if he was angry after being exposed, Gu Xiao snorted coldly, then waved his hand to signal his men to move Jiang Qiuchen and Wen Rushi out of the woodshed.

Wen Rushi looked at Jiang Qiuchen with some concern, not knowing what Gu Xiao wanted to do to them.

After sensing Wen Rushi's uneasiness, Jiang Qiuchen gave her a soothing look in return.

"It's okay, I'm here."

The words were brief, and although they were not spoken aloud, they could still be understood from the shape of the mouth.

Then, Jiang Qiuchen turned to face Gu Xiao, raised his chin slightly, and spoke softly.

"Don't bother your people to do it. We have legs and can walk."

Without waiting for the guards to come in, Jiang Qiuchen stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly and walked out of the house.

Wen Rushi's heart quickly calmed down and he followed closely.

When passing by Gu Xiao, Jiang Qiuchen didn't even look at him for a second. Naturally, this attitude made Gu Xiao look at him differently.

"Hey! You are such a hot-tempered girl!"

"I want to see if you can still remain so calm and ignore it later!"

I thought I would be taken to some dark place, but unexpectedly after many twists and turns I ended up in an elegant house.

Jiang Qiucheng stepped on the soft carpet with both feet, looking at Gu Xiao who was sitting down leisurely with his robe lifted, with a puzzled look on his face. "I dare to ask, Master Gu brought us here, what are you going to do with us?"

"It's impossible that they're going to give us a good meal before sending us on our way, right?"

"If that's the case, you're a pretty nice person."

While Jiang Qiuchen was questioning, delicious dishes were brought in like a stream.

After everything was arranged properly, Gu Xiao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender meat and put it into his mouth, then said after savoring it carefully.

"You're half right, but these dishes are not for you, they're for me."

"You can only watch."

"This is my punishment for you. How is it? Is it very uncomfortable?"

"Such delicious food is right in front of you, but you can only look at it and not eat it. I guess your stomach must be itching for food."

Jiang Qiuchen was just about to snort coldly, saying that this trick didn't work on her, but unexpectedly, Wen Rushi's stomach, who was standing next to her, made a small protest.

"Gululu——"

The noise wasn't really that loud. The only thing to blame was that it was too quiet. Apart from the voices of people talking, there was no other noise.

Jiang Qiuchen was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had forgotten about Wen Rushi.

Except for her who doesn't follow the beaten path, everyone here needs to eat every day to maintain their vital signs.

The two of them were arrested this morning and haven't had two meals. It would be strange if they weren't hungry.

If Gu Xiao hadn't deliberately used this matter to make trouble for them, Wen Rushi would probably have planned to keep silent.

Jiang Qiuchen smiled at Wen Rushi apologetically. It was her negligence.

Such a commotion suddenly happened, and Wen Rushi, as the person involved, was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

He could only blush, lower his head, and avoid looking at the curious looks from others.

"Hehe, you still want to be stubborn? The guy next to you has confessed his stomach."

"But you, a skinny and weak girl who hasn't eaten for two meals, are still so energetic, with a very loud voice, and the volume has not even decreased at all. Are you made of iron?"

Jiang Qiuchen crossed her arms in front of her chest with some pride and nodded slightly. Apart from anything else, if Gu Xiao wanted to use this to control her, then he was really going in the wrong direction.

"I am willing to be punished alone. You can starve me as long as you want. Please give my friend a hot meal first."

"If you have any complaints, just come to me, don't make it difficult for her."

Gu Xiao looked at Jiang Qiuchen's righteous appearance and glanced at Wen Rushi with some suspicion.

"Hey, my friend standing over there, you have been standing alone in the corner since you came in, not even saying a single extra word. It's not good to ask a girl like this to charge into battle for you, right?"

Wen Rushi, who was called, stood in place and shook his body slightly before he realized that someone had just mentioned him.

In fact, she didn't mean it. Apart from today, she hadn't had a decent meal yesterday or the day before, and she was already a little confused due to hunger.

It's just that I had been secretly pinching my leg flesh just now to remind myself not to mess up here.

"Miss Jiang, there is no need to do this. Wen is willing to stand by you."

Wen Rushi bowed slightly to express his attitude.

Seeing her unhappy complexion, a trace of worry flashed across Jiang Qiuchen's face.

Looking at this couple who seemed like star-crossed lovers, Gu Xiao actually felt a little guilty, as if he was a bad guy who instigated this.
