Chapter 398 The last wishes of the unlucky father and daughter in the control group 13
He Yisu ignored Old Man Xu and strode into the yard of the village head's house.
He now felt uncomfortable when he saw the Xu family. Although what the voice said might not be true, he had a hunch that he should listen to the voice, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
Old man Xu didn't care about his attitude. He sent the man to the headman's house and left.
Maybe all nobles have this kind of temper. What his family did was clear in their conscience, and he never thought about asking for any reward from Mr. Su.
Of course, this is just what he thought. Who knows how many twists and turns Xu Nanyue and Xu Jingnian’s thoughts have gone through?
They waited until Old Man Xu came back, and Xu Nanyan couldn't wait to ask, "Grandpa, where did the head of the village arrange for Master Su to live?"
"I don't know. I'll be back soon after I drop the person off. Everyone go back to your rooms and have a good night's sleep. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow," Old Man Xu waved his hand calmly. He could see clearly what his granddaughter was thinking.
Before entering the house, he specifically said, "Don't think about things that you shouldn't think about. People should know themselves."
"I understand, Grandpa," Xu Nanyue lowered her eyes slightly, and no one saw the gloomy look in her eyes.
It was too dark at night and few people knew what happened in the Xu family. The neighbors didn't dare to show up when they heard the sound of fighting. They only knew that something seemed to have happened to the Xu family.
Early the next morning, Xu's neighbors got up and ran to Xu's house to inquire about the news.
No one had extra food at home, and it was difficult to have two meals a day. If it weren't for the need to work in the fields, they would want to have one meal a day.
Perhaps the Xu family and the head of the village were the only ones in the village who had breakfast in the morning, which made all the neighbors envious.
"Mrs. Xu, are you making breakfast?"
Mrs. Zhang stretched her neck to look into the Xu family's kitchen. When she saw the black wild vegetable porridge, there was disappointment and envy in her eyes. Her family didn't even have wild vegetable porridge to eat in the morning.
Xu Chen just responded indifferently, "Yeah."
"Was there a thief breaking into your house last night?" Mrs. Zhang spoke in a lower voice, but her tone was a little excited, as if she was hoping that the Xu family would be robbed.
"No, the child was disobedient and made a fuss at night, so my father-in-law gave him a good scolding," Xu Chen didn't care whether she believed it or not. Seeing that breakfast was almost ready, she looked straight at Madam Zhang Er.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he kept looking into the pot.
Xu Chen picked up the lid of the pot and covered it, then pulled Zhang Erniang out and said, "I heard that your family picked up pheasant eggs yesterday. Can you lend me two? My Yan'er hasn't been in good spirits these days, and I want to give her some nourishment."
When Mrs. Zhang Er heard that Xu Chen wanted to borrow pheasant eggs, she immediately waved away her hand and said, "No, no, we don't have any pheasant eggs at home. I have work to do at home. Let's talk about it another day when we have time."
As if there was a dog chasing her, Mrs. Zhang ran back home and closed the gate to the yard, fearing that Xu Chen would chase after her.
Gu Laoliu paid special attention to He Yisu and his group who rented an empty house in the south of the village. They were discussing the assassination of He Yisu.
"Master, I have found out that there are three groups of assassins chasing you. The eldest prince, the third prince and the sixth prince have all hired killers to assassinate you."
He Yisu looked as if he was kidding, "They have their own people, why would they need to find a killer?"
Instead of using their own assassins, they hired assassins? Are they crazy?
As long as the killers in the underworld pay more, they will do things for whoever they are. If you are not careful, you will get yourself into trouble. Of course, there are people who keep their promises, but they will choose the tasks, not all tasks they will accept.
One of them is that those people will not accept missions involving the royal family because the risk is not proportional to the benefits and they don’t want to take the risk.
As for those who can be hired, it is impossible for them to keep their promises. If something happens, the first person they will betray is the client. As long as it can save their own lives, they will even tie up the client.
Gu Laoliu really wanted to answer his question, because you are the male protagonist and have the function of lowering intelligence.
He felt that the issues discussed by He Yisu and the others were too boring, so he stopped paying attention to them.
However, the Gu family, who had been forgotten by them for several months, came out again.
Gu Kangyuan offended a nobleman in the academy, and during his rest period, the nobleman arranged for someone to break one of his legs, leaving him permanently disabled and completely out of the question for the imperial examination.
Since her youngest son would not become a high-ranking official in the future, her hope of becoming an official's wife was shattered. Then Mrs. Gu thought of her second and third sons and wanted to find her two sons to make peace.
She was not doing it for herself, but for her beloved youngest son. She knew that she was old and could not take care of her youngest son for his whole life, so she wanted to entrust him to her other three sons.
Gu Er is now married into the Jiang family, so she doesn't dare to provoke the Jiang family. She thinks of looking for Gu San who has no one to rely on first.
Gu Laoliu was really annoyed when he knew they were coming. He wanted to kill the Gu family right away, but the original owner had not made such a wish. If they killed the Gu family, the original owner would be angry and refuse to give them merit, and their mission would be in vain.
He complained to Chang'an, "My girl, I don't want to take on missions like this with terrible family members anymore. It's so annoying."
Chang'an felt the same way. They encountered such awful family members in basically every dimension, but they couldn't kill them. It really disgusted her.
"I'll add one more thing for the wish-maker: if your original family is too bad, you can either make all your wishes come true or find other task-givers."
She has such a bad temper that she feels unhappy no matter how she thinks about it.
He threw a small spell directly at the Gu family, and a tornado swept past, and all the Gu family members were swept into the air.
"Ah! Help!"
Chang'an waved his hand with a cold face, and the seven or eight people in the Gu family were thrown far away by the tornado and all left the village.
They fell heavily to the ground, breaking their arms and legs, and it would take them three or four months to recover. Gu Kangyuan's situation was even worse, as the leg that had just been reconnected was broken again.
The villagers gasped, "Isn't this too unlucky?"
"Last time we encountered a ghost wall, this time we encountered a tornado. What does this mean? It means that we can't go to the back mountain."
"Could it be that there are some ghosts protecting Gu San and the others?"
The villagers became more and more worried as they talked about it, and they began to fear the mysterious mountain behind. Those who wanted to enter the mountain from the back subconsciously avoided it and continued to walk to the east end of the village.
However, He Yisu had heard a lot of the villagers' discussions and was very interested in the people living in the back mountain.
However, even if he was interested, he had to finish another thing first. He always felt that if he didn't get rid of Xu Nanyue, his life would be derailed.
When Xu Nanyue came to see him for the fifth time, he asked his subordinates to pass on a message, asking Xu Nanyue to go up the mountain, saying that he wanted to see if her good luck was real?
Xu Nanyue was a little panicked. Her good luck was gone. She was worried that He Yisu would accuse her of lying to him, but she was unwilling to give up this fat sheep.
He Yisu was very generous and gave the Xu family 300 kilograms of new rice, 300 kilograms of flour, and 3,000 taels of silver as a reward.
Xu Jingnian encouraged Xu Nanyan, "Sister, don't be afraid. You are his savior. How can he repay his kindness with hatred?"
Xu Nanyue gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and agreed to let He Yisu go up the mountain, but she also brought Xu Jingnian with her.
