Chapter 5: The night is cold as water
After a long time, Pomegranate heard the girl ask her to go in. When she entered the door, she was a little afraid to approach her before. Seeing that the girl's eyes were red, she knew that she had just cried.
"They're leaving."
Pomegranate nodded: "I know."
"Come here."
Seeing the pomegranate approaching, Gu Xiangyi looked at her carefully, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to inform her of the truth.
After all, she has already missed her words, and if she doesn't tell her everything, she will cause trouble. If Pomegranate is an unfaithful person, or does not want to serve Ning Chu's soul Gu Xiangyi's body, then she will definitely tell others about Jiang Si and Gu Xiangyi's words tonight. If she is a loyal person, it's nothing if Gu Xiangyi tells her everything.
"Girl, are you really from the Ning family...?" After trembling for a long time, Pomegranate asked.
Gu Xiangyi smiled wryly and said, "Indeed, I am from General Ning'an's Mansion. My father is Ning Yuanjiang, the general Ning'an, and his brother is Ning Su."
"Then are you Ning Chu?"
"good."
Pomegranate opened his eyes wide and looked left and right. This skin was obviously exactly the same as Gu Xiangyi, so how could it be Ning Chu?
But then I thought about it again, my mind changed a lot since the girl woke up. First, I lost my memory for no reason, and then asked about the general's mansion, and I dared to fight with the eldest lady in the Luoxiangyuan. If it were the former girl, how could she dare?
Guessing that Pomegranate must have a lot of questions to ask, Gu Xiangyi said directly: "Actually, I don't know why I woke up and became Gu Xiangyi. It may be because God felt that I was wronged to die. The Ning family was not a rebellion, but accompanied the king as a tiger. My father and brother, who had great military achievements, caused a fight between courtiers and princes. The emperor was also very afraid of our Ning family, so he made up a false reason. On my wedding night, he washed our Ning family. Naturally, I couldn't survive if I married into the Yewang Mansion. Do you understand?"
Pomegranate knew nothing about the things in the court, but listening to her face flat and tearing open the unscabbed wounds, Pomegranate actually felt that she understood, understood the difficulties of the Ning family, and even felt sorry and angry for the Ning family.
"I understand."
Gu Xiangyi also said: "Tell you this matter, of course I hope you keep it confidential, but I am not your real master. I will continue to use this identity. If you are unwilling to serve me, Ning Chu, then I can help you find a way to send you out of this tiger and wolf den, but you have to promise that you will not mention this matter again in this life."
As if I knew what the girl was going to say next, Pomegranate knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed twice and said, "I won't leave my maid! My maid's life was picked up by Miss Song. No matter who you are at this moment, I will not leave you. Many people in this deep courtyard said that they are staring at He Yinju. Girl, you are a place where you must have a need, please don't send me away!"
It seems that this girl has misunderstood and thinks that Gu Xiangyi is afraid that she will leak the secret, so she wants to drive her away.
"You misunderstood. If you want to stay, stay. I will definitely protect you in the future. Our master and servant are united and not afraid of those jackals, tigers and leopards."
The pomegranate raised his head with crystal clear eyes: "Yes, girl!"
On a dark and windy night, Gu Xiangyi changed into a lighter set of clothes, blew the candles and sat on a chair, waiting for the night to become thicker. Only in this way can she return to the general's mansion be safe.
By the way, she also learned about Xiao Jingyao and Gu Xiangyi.
Gu Xiangyi's mother Song Rongyan was not only the savior of pomegranate, but also saved Xiao Jingyao when she was young. Therefore, Xiao Jingyao was particularly kind to Gu Xiangyi and was considered to be grateful to him.
Over time, Xiao Jingyao often came to Bo's mansion. Gu Hengjun, Fu Zhirong and others were very angry and explicitly prohibited him from coming again. Even if he was doing his best for his life, he would not do anything. After that, he could only climb over the wall at night just to see how Gu Xiangyi lived.
"I'll go out first, don't light the lights, I'll be back soon."
Pomegranate nodded repeatedly: "That girl, be careful."
Everything was silent, the entire capital was peaceful and quiet, and there was no light everywhere. Gu Xiangyi cleverly climbed up the wall, walked quickly under the moon and starry sky, crossed a street, and walked around the side door of the General's Mansion.
The side door has been destroyed, the single iron door is not locked, and it is opened with a light push.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar yard under the moonlight, her thin shoulders trembled slightly due to her sobs. Before she could even walk into the yard, she felt her legs weak and she sat on the ground in a quiet voice, tears flowing unstoppable.
The remains of the fire burning were terrifying. Gu Xiangyi stood up with the wall and staggered forward, seeing his father's usual training ground, to the east was the yard where his father lived.
It turns out that there is no living person. The Ning family has about one hundred people, as if they have been here since, and there is no trace left behind.
Sitting in the spacious training ground, surrounded by ruined courtyards. Before getting married yesterday, the family was still fine, with the word "happy" everywhere. Gu Xiangyi hugged his trembling shoulders and looked straight ahead. The swords, guns, swords and halberds around him were moved away, leaving only a few red platforms for weapons to be placed.
The man in black was at the place where Gu Xiangyi could not see him, secretly staring at the girl in front of him, watching her wipe her tears again and again. Then he turned around, put down the unburned paper money in his hand, turned around and climbed over the wall to leave. He moved very quickly under the moonlight, his feet fell lightly to the ground, without any sound.
I don’t know how long I waited, but Pomegranate was drowsy in the room and suddenly heard a creaking sound from the door.
"Girl, you're..."
At this time, Gu Xiangyi seemed to have been seriously ill and sat down in a daze, without saying a word.
Pomegranate had lost her family since she was a child, and Song Rongyan gave her a bite of food, which was considered to have saved her life. She had also felt the pain of losing a relative, but she was too young at that time. She could not remember when she was in her old age. She sympathized with what her girl had encountered, but she could not empathize with it.
"Girl drink some water, everything will be fine."
"It won't be done." Gu Xiangyi held the cup handed over by the pomegranate and said in a daze: "In addition to taking revenge, killing all those people, you must take revenge."
The tone was dull and there was no slight turbulence, but Pomegranate was shocked.
In the second half of the night, Gu Xiangyi, who was drowsy, had a dream. There was a father, an elder brother, and Jiang Si. She dreamed of Jiang Si's childhood. She chased her and said that she was older than her. Finally, she was punched by Ning Chuyi on the head and turned around to find his mother.
The beautiful scene blinked by, and a fire swallowed Gu Xiangyi's entire dream. She clearly saw the beam collapse and smashed the person below. Countless arrows fell from the heights. Many arrows in her father fell into the fire, leaving the flames to gnaw him motionless.
She wanted to run to her family and save them, but she seemed to be standing in the distant horizon and could not move forward.
He opened his eyes suddenly and it was already dawn. Gu Xiangyi sat up, his forehead covered with sweat.
"Miss is having a nightmare, isn't it?" asked Pomegranate.
Gu Xiangyi nodded, turned over and got out of bed and walked to the table with barefoot, poured a glass of water and drank it in two or three sips, feeling a little more at ease.
What is rare today is that there are stalls starting on the street next to the corner gate. Because of the Ning family affairs, there are only a few stalls, but they still feel lively just by listening to the sound.
I shouted on the street and could hear it in the yard.
"The newly slaughtered cow in the morning, the first knife this month! I picked up a good place to keep it. Look, how fresh the tendon meat is!"
A clear voice came to Gu Xiangyi's ears. She suddenly remembered that although her father was a general, he was also a chef with excellent cooking skills. He was very good at making beef tendon meat. When she thought of Gu Xiangyi's belly, she screamed uncontrollably.
The sound was heard by pomegranate, and she remembered that she had not delivered food to the kitchen all day yesterday.
"I went to the big kitchen to take a look. Maybe the kitchen people forgot it for a while."
If you say this, Pomegranate himself doesn't believe it.
