69. New hatred and old hatred (6)

Tao Mo's condition was a little recurring, and the fever subsided, and it took about three times to stabilize.

Everyone in the county government office was so busy that they were overwhelmed. There were even rumors among the servants that this county magistrate could not survive this year.

At that time, Lao Tao and Hao Guozi were circling around Tao Mo. They had heard these rumors at that time, but they had no time to worry about them. When Tao Mo's condition stabilized, Hao Guozi immediately took the list and started to settle the accounts after autumn.

The county government was in chaos again. However, such panic diluted a little bit of illness and added a little bit of excitement.

Although Tao Mo's fever subsided, the disease came like a mountain of fallen, and the disease was like a thread being pulled. If the foundation collapsed, it would not be repaired in a short while. I could only temporarily tilt my body on the bed and let Lao Tao and Hao Guozi take turns to bring the tonic and nourishing soup.

Tao Mo was disgusted with eating, but couldn't bear to let down the good intentions of the two of them, so he could only pinch his nose and pour it down.

After five or six days like this, one day, he couldn't help but ask, "Gu She, haven't you been here?"

Hao Guozi, who was facing the spoon and helping him cool the tonic, looked up angry and said, "Who knows. It's been a few days, and Cheng or Bucheng has nothing to say."

Tao Mo's face turned dark, and then he said with a glimmer of hope: "Then he knows I'm back?"

"Of course I know." Hao Guozi said, "I sent the carriage back as soon as I came back."

Tao Mo was silent for a while before whispering: "Oh."

"However," Hao Guozi paused, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards the window.

Seeing that he looked nervous, Tao Mo also became nervous, "What happened?"

Hao Guozi said, "Although Gu She didn't come, Gu Xiaojia came two or three times, and brought some medicinal materials, saying that it was given by Mr. Gu. But Lao Tao was sent back."

"Ah? I've sent it back? How did I send it?" Tao Mo grabbed his hand nervously.

Hao Guozi shook his hand, and the soup from the spoon spilled out, and it just fell back into the bowl. He was startled and hurriedly said, "Young Master, don't worry. Although Lao Tao was rejected by him, he still had a sense of responsibility. He said that he was not rewarded without any merit, but he did not hurt the other party's decency."

Tao Mo silently retracted his hand and sighed: "He is so arrogant and arrogant, he must feel very uncomfortable." Gu Xiaojia has been here for two or three times, which means he hits the nail and then hits it again. This is extremely rare for Gu She, right?

He gently grabbed the sheet with his fingers and scratched three shallow scratches.

"Young Master?" Hao Guozi reached out and shook his hand in front of him.

Tao Mo grabbed his hand and said, "Help me prepare the carriage!"

"Now?" Hao Guozi frowned.

Tao Mo said: "He sent so many medicinal materials, and it is reasonable that I should come to thank you."

Hao Guozi said: "But the young master has not recovered from his serious illness, so it is not advisable to get out of bed."

Tao Mo said: "It's just a minor illness, but you have developed a serious illness." As he said, he was about to lift the quilt out of bed.

"Then take the medicine first." Hao Guozi sent the tonic forward, but thought about ways to stop him.

Tao Mo took the medicine and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls without looking at it.

"Ah, I have other things to do later, so why not let Lao Tao send the young master." Hao Guozi had an idea and immediately threw the hot potato out.

But Tao Mo's wishful thinking was that Wu let Lao Tao know how to let him destroy it. He grabbed him with his back hand and said, "If you have something to do, just say I'm sure. Go and prepare the carriage first." He paused and specifically reminded him, "Don't let Lao Tao know."

Hao Guozi's scalp was numb when she heard this, so she had to go out to prepare a carriage, but she secretly regretted that she was talking too much.

Tao Mo got up and wore a coat.

He lay in the bed for a few days, and suddenly got out of bed, and felt a heavy and light feet. His feet seemed to be stepping on the clouds, and he couldn't use any strength. He finally stood firm against the bed post and saw Hao Guozi coming back.

"The carriage is ready so soon?" Tao Mo was stunned.

Hao Guozi shook his head and said, "Someone is here to visit the young master."

Tao Mo's eyes lit up, "Is Gu ejaculated?"

"No." Hao Guozi sighed lightly, "It's Mr. Yiyu. Pengxiang has been here several times before, and I said that the young master was sick and sent him away. I didn't expect that he would come here in person this time."

"Ah." Tao Mo hesitated for a while, groped back to the bed, and whispered, "Please come in."

"Young Master won't go to Gu's Mansion?" After escaping another disaster, Hao Guozi couldn't tell what it felt like.

Tao Mo said: "It will be the same if you go there later. Please ask Yiyu to come in first."

Hao Guozi went out.

Tao Mo leaned on the bed for a while, his eyelids were a little heavy, and he heard the sound of fine footsteps slowly approaching from a distance. He opened his eyes in a daze, and a figure wearing a white brocade robe and a green gauze robe stepped in.

Tao Mo opened his eyes wide.

The pearl jade hairpin on Yiyu's bun flashed, shining brightly. He put on makeup today, which was a bit brighter, but made his outstanding facial features look more and more outstanding. "You are sick, I'll see you."

Pengxiang stood behind him, gently holding his waist as before, and holding him down on the chair in front of the bed.

"Sorry, I'm not welcome." Tao Mo tried hard to sit up.

Yiyu's mouth raised slightly and said, "Look, you and I are so unfortunate. Either I see you in bed or you see me in bed."

Tao Mo smiled bitterly.

Yiyu sighed softly: "What a pity, we never had the chance to lie on the same bed."

He spoke so nakedly and expressed so without any room for anything, leaving Tao Mo nowhere to hide, so he could only bow his head and say nothing.

Even though he was obsessed with Yiyu, their contact was only the inadvertent touch when he raised a cup and clinked. It was not that he did not know that Yiyu was not innocent, nor that Yiyu was just a means of seduction. It was just that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him at that time, so he did not want to be close to his skin in the fireworks place, and became a happy guest who played the show in his heart.

But at that time, he never expected that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse later.

Huang Guangde suddenly attacked him because of the beautiful rain, and his father even died in the prefect's office to save him!

When he was extremely painful and hated, he also hated Yiyu. He hated him for watching coldly, hated him for not sincerely committing himself to Huang Guangde than to burn his boat with him! But hated him for a moment. After all the emotions slowly settled down, he suddenly realized that those pains and hatred were just to protect himself. Because from beginning to end, the person he really hated was himself!

If you weren't addicted to alcohol and sex, if you weren't accomplished anything, if you weren't doing anything...

His father would not leave so desolately and unwilling to be so regretful!

"Dance." Yiyu called out lightly.

Tao Mo looked up and realized that tears had blurred his eyes at some point, only a twisted haze could be seen.

A chill on the lips.

He retreated in shock and wiped his eyes in a hurry, just as he saw Yiyu slowly retreating.

"You..." Tao Mo stared at him with wide eyes.

Yiyu turned to Pengxiang and said, "Leave the things behind, you go out first."

Pengxiang frowned, with a little unwillingness on her face, but in the end she put the yellow cloth bag in her hand on Yiyu's knees and exited the door.

Yiyu's hand touched the bag like nostalgia and whispered: "You are right. I know that Huang Guangde wanted to harm you back then."

Tao Mo's heart tightened.

Yiyu said: "But he was not for me, nor for you. He was for your father's rice shop. I still remember that famine that year, most rice shops raised prices, but your father insisted on doing it alone. Not only did he not raise the price, but he sold rice at a low price?"

Tao Mo said: "Remember. I still remember that Huang Guangde specially gave my father a plaque with 'Journal of Ji Shan' to praise it."

"Praise? Hey." Yiyu sneered, "He praised it because your father did good deeds and won the hearts of the people. Do you know that among those rice merchants who raised prices, many of them were Huang Guangde's people."

Tao Mo looked at him in shock.

Yiyu said: "Since then, your father has been a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. He has been deliberately trying to hit your father, and your business is just an excuse for him."

Tao Mo's heartbeat suddenly and asked after a while: "When did you know?"

"I knew it from the beginning." Yiyu said, "He has always been my regular visitor. But he is an official and cannot come blatantly, so he often secretly sent a sedan chair to pick me up in the middle of the night. At that time, he still wanted to be famous and wanted to be promoted to a high-ranking official, so he was extremely cautious in his work. But in the next few years, somehow, he gradually became unscrupulous." He paused, looking at Tao Mo, who was so shocked by a series of facts that he could not speak, and said softly, "So, you should blame me and hate me."

"No. I don't blame you." Tao Mo pressed the corner of the quilt with his palm, letting tears hit the quilt one by one. The pain from his heart made him tremble in his words, "It's all me, I'm responsible for it, and I can't blame anyone." Even though Huang Guangde just used him to hit his father, he gave Huang Guangde an excuse after all. Otherwise, perhaps his father's prudence might not give him a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, he regretted ten thousand times why he didn't make any decision! If so, at least his father would survive...

It should have been his father who survived!
