After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 252 Extra - Gu Yuer 2

It was a dark and windy night, with dark clouds blocking out the stars and moonlight, and the earth was shrouded in a thick darkness.

The dead branches swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, like the whispers of ghosts.

Occasionally, the cries of one or two night birds break the silence, making the scene even more desolate.

In the narrow alley, only a few dim oil lamps swayed, casting mottled shadows.

The wind grew stronger, picking up the dead leaves on the ground and swirling them in the air, like countless dead souls searching for their way home.

On a night like this, even the air seems to freeze, revealing an indescribable tension and uneasiness.

Gu Yuer left the inn alone and went to a restaurant, intending to buy a pot of wine.

On the way to the restaurant, she actually heard someone following her, but she still tried to remain calm.

She went all the way to the front of the restaurant, and the waiter saw her and warmly invited her in.

"Is this girl here for a quickie or to buy some drinks?"

Gu Yuer told the waiter the name of the wine she wanted: "Pack me a pot of hot rejuvenation wine."

When the waiter heard this, he immediately responded with a smile: "Okay!"

When the waiter turned around to get the wine, Gu Yuer would look outside from time to time. It was already very late, around three o'clock in the morning.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, only one or two night watchmen would pass by occasionally, and there were few other pedestrians.

Gu Yuer calmed her racing heart and suppressed the fear in her heart.

At this time, the waiter had already wrapped the rejuvenation wine, and brought it to her with both hands, smiling and said to her: "Girl, your rejuvenation wine is ready."

Gu Yuer quickly took the Rejuvenating Wine, thanked the waiter, and left the restaurant.

As soon as she went out, she felt the evening breeze was particularly strong and she couldn't help shivering.

While walking back, Gu Yuer glanced to the side and saw a figure flash by. Her heart suddenly beat faster. She immediately looked away and swallowed.

She hugged the wine jug tightly in her arms and quickened her pace towards the alley, hoping to take a shortcut back to the inn.

But just after she entered the alley and took a few steps, a figure blocked her way.

Gu Yuer was slightly stunned when she saw the person coming. The light was too dim and she couldn't see the person's face clearly. She hugged the wine pot tightly and asked softly, "Who is it? Why are you blocking my way?"

That person didn't say anything, but someone suddenly appeared behind her and let out a sickening laugh.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. We're not bad people. We didn't mean to block your way. We just wanted to ask you some questions. Or rather, we want your cooperation."

As soon as Gu Yuer heard this person's voice, she immediately remembered that this was the voice of one of the people she had overheard talking at night the night before.

Trying hard to calm herself down, Gu Yuer mustered up her courage, quickly turned around, and faced the wall at the alley entrance. She was surrounded by the two men on both sides.

"What's the problem? What's the cooperation?"

The other person seemed to have a rather short temper and lacked patience. He looked at her and asked in a gruff voice, "Just answer the question! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The fierce voice frightened Gu Yuer so much that she trembled all over.

The shorter man blushed and pretended to appease the irritable man: "Brother Wu, don't be anxious. You still need to be gentle and patient when dealing with a little girl, don't you?"

The man called Brother Wu snorted coldly and fell silent.

The short man smiled in an especially cunning and disgusting way. He looked at Gu Yuer and touched his chin: "Little girl, if you are scared, just ask a few questions. If you cooperate, we will give you some benefits."

"Tell us about the man who protected you. Do you know his name?"

Gu Yuer knew that they wanted to find out about Brother Shi. She lowered her head and her voice trembled with fear.

"I, I don't know who you are talking about. Please let me go."

When the man surnamed Wu heard what Gu Yu'er said, his temper immediately flared up, and he shouted fiercely: "You stupid girl, I advise you to be more sensible, otherwise you will be in trouble!"

Gu Yuer trembled all over at this roar, but in order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, she had to keep calming herself down in her heart.

She hugged the wine jug tightly in her arms and said bravely, "He is a knight my sister-in-law hired to escort me to the capital. His name is Brother Shi, that's all I know."

When the two heard this, they looked at each other, as if they were weighing its credibility.

Afterwards, the short man said to Gu Yu'er with a smile, "Little girl, as long as you cooperate with us two brothers, we will definitely not let you down. Here, take this package, just find a chance to put it into the knight's wine or food, and after you're done, we'll give you a hundred taels, how about that?"

The temptation of money is indeed a great temptation. If it were someone else, they might really be bewitched by the one hundred taels.

Gu Yuer would definitely not betray Brother Shi. She pretended to take the package and then whispered, "If I let you go, will you stop bothering me?"

The short man smiled wickedly, "Of course, of course! Just leave the things there before this time tomorrow night, and we'll pick you up. Little girl, here's fifty taels. If you succeed, the other fifty taels will go into your pocket."

Gu Yuer was inexplicably stuffed with a bag of silver by the man. She was stunned and was about to refuse when the two men had already left from the alley.

She blinked, stared at the bag of silver in her hand, and weighed it gently. It was quite heavy.

"Brother Shi, do you think these two people are honest? They actually gave me money." Gu Yuer looked at the figure approaching at the alley entrance and said with a smile.

Brother Shi didn't say anything and pointed outside to her.

After spending a few days with him, Gu Yuer had gradually become familiar with the way he interacted with her, and also understood the meaning of his occasional gestures.

"Okay. Let's go back first. Everything will be settled tomorrow night. We can solve this matter quickly."

-

Second night.

After Gu Yuer put the package down, Brother Shi finished eating and fell on the table, not moving at all. She clasped her hands together nervously and kept apologizing to Brother Shi.

"I'm sorry, Brother Shi, I didn't mean to do that. If I didn't do that, I might be in danger. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

After that, I heard footsteps outside the door, and then there was movement at the window.

It turned out that the two men did not trust Gu Yuer very much, and they came in from two different places.

The man surnamed Wu glanced at Brother Shi, who was lying on the table, and chuckled, "I thought Xie Ying was so powerful, but it turns out he's just a facade. He was knocked unconscious by a little knockout drug."

The short man shrugged and smiled: "Brother Wu, you are really joking. That is not a small knockout drug. It is a knockout drug that can knock out a giant elephant for a whole day and night."

After saying that, the short man turned around and looked at Gu Yuer with a sly smile.

"Thank you so much, little girl. Here, here's the rest of the reward."

Gu Yuer saw the short man walking towards her with a bag of silver in his hand and a smile on his face. The look in his eyes was particularly disgusting. She was a little scared and stepped back repeatedly.

She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, big brother, I don't want the money. I've already done the job for you. Can I go now?"

The short man's eyes flashed slightly, he touched his chin, and smiled at the man named Wu beside him.

The man immediately understood what he meant and instantly flashed to the door, blocking Gu Yuer's only way to leave.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuer nervously pinched the hem of her skirt and looked at them in panic: "You, what do you want to do? I have already helped you, you can't go back on your word!"

The short man chuckled softly, his tone somewhat mocking. "Little girl, I never said you could leave after you were done. I only said you helped us, so I'm giving you a benefit. I'll leave it here, if you want it, take it. But after all, you did something like this for us, how could we let you go so easily?"

He paused, and then his eyes instantly became terrifying and cruel.

Gu Yuer backed away in fear, and when she reached the corner she realized there was no way to retreat. Her heart was beating nervously, and she clutched the hem of her skirt tightly.

Seeing the man approaching and reaching out to her, Gu Yuer screamed and raised her hands to cover her head.

The next second, a scream was heard in front of him.

"what!"

Immediately afterwards, just as the man surnamed Wu reacted, a bloody knife instantly cut a sharp gash in his neck!

"You! You... haven't fallen yet..."

The man surnamed Wu and the short man had already died. One had a sword in his throat and the other had a hole in his chest. They died in a tragic way.

Gu Yuer's face turned pale when she saw such a horrifying scene.

At this moment, a broad, warm hand gently covered her eyes, blocking the cruel and bloody scene from her vision.

Gu Yuer understood that Brother Shi didn't want her to see such a scene, and he was probably afraid that she couldn't accept it.

She said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Shi. I think I can handle a scene of this magnitude. After all, I'm going to enter the martial arts world in the future."

After she finished speaking, she stepped back, turned around and walked out, smiling at Brother Shi.

This smile is particularly peaceful, beautiful, shining and charming under the silver light.

After Brother Shi simply dealt with the two people, he found that Gu Yuer had been sitting in the chair without moving. After thinking about it, he went out for a while.

When he came back again, he had a pot of tea in his hand.

He took the teacup, poured a cup of hot tea for Gu Yuer and pushed it to her.

Gu Yuer slowly came back to her senses, saw the cup of hot tea, understood what Brother Shi meant, smiled and thanked him, then took it.

At this time, it was already the second half of the night and the surroundings were very quiet.

After a long silence, Brother Shi suddenly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Gu Yuer. It said: "Why do you want to join the martial arts world? Don't you know how dangerous it is?"

When Gu Yuer saw the two questions above, she pursed her lips and smiled, took a sip of hot tea, and held the teacup in both hands to warm her palms.

"Because of one person. I want to see the world he has seen. I also want to make a difference in the world. Maybe then, he will be able to get to know me again and understand that I am no longer that naive little girl, but a girl who is good enough to stand by his side!"

Brother Shi looked deeply at Gu Yuer through his hat, was silent for a moment, and then continued writing: Who is he to you?

After reading this question, Gu Yuer was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly.

"It doesn't matter at all. In my opinion, I like him, but in his eyes, maybe I'm just a little sister."

After saying this, Gu Yuer showed a bitter expression.

A slight cold breeze came in from outside the window, bringing with it a whistling sound.

Seeing Gu Yuer shivering slightly, Brother Shi hurried to the window frame and gently closed the window to block the invasion of cold wind.

"Thank you." Gu Yuer saw Brother Shi's actions, looked at him and thanked him.

Brother Shi shook his head slightly, took out another piece of paper, and wrote on it: "Miss Gu, you are very good. Some people are actually not worth the risk you take. Although it may not be nice for me to say this, I have seen many women give everything for some so-called sweethearts, but in the end the price is very high."

After seeing this, Gu Yuer lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at him with a firm and serious look.

"The fact that I like him is my own business. I don't care about the consequences. As long as I've tried my best and done my best, I can at least live up to my love for him. In this way, even if the result is not perfect in the end, at least I haven't let down my heart that loves him."

The decisive words were like nails driven into the silent and dark night.

Later, Brother Shi didn't say anything more. He just turned around and left the room in silence.

However, after Brother Shi left, Gu Yuer immediately covered her face and felt her face blushing and her heart beating.

"I actually said I liked him in front of a man. How embarrassing!"

She smiled and talked to herself, her face flushed, marveling at her own courage and regretting that Shi Tou was not there.

On the other side, Brother Shi leaned against the wall, raised his head and looked up at the sky. In this quiet night, he actually uttered the first words in his life.

"How silly."

--

After solving a big problem, Brother Shi continued to escort Gu Yuer to Wuling Mountain.

I thought the trouble was over, but who knew that there would be new troubles hidden behind the trouble.

When they arrived at the border of Wujie Mountain, they were suddenly blocked by a group of people.

The leader was a burly man, and actually looked somewhat similar to the man named Wu.

The man raised his big knife and shouted at Brother Shi, "Are you the ones who killed my brother?"

Brother Shi held the sword to protect Gu Yuer, staring at the person who was coming at him aggressively.

Gu Yuer stuck her head out and saw the fierce-looking man, her heart trembling with fear.

"Is this person the helper of those two villains?" she asked Brother Shi in a low voice.

Brother Shi was wary of those people and nodded seriously in response to Gu Yuer's words.
