He Ming snorted coldly and glared at Gu Xi in dissatisfaction, his copper bell-like eyes almost glared out of fire.

Gu Xi screamed inwardly, slapped himself twice with a bitter face, and cursed: "It's really not good. You can't even do a small thing. You can't do it well. You can't make a quick char siu better than you."

He Ming originally wanted to scare Gu Xi, to make her realize her mistake and learn from her lessons, but Gu Xi actually slapped herself twice. The two slaps on Gu Xi's face made him feel aching.

He quickly stopped Gu Xi's hand that was about to slap, and stopped him, "Enough, no matter how disappointed you are, you can't slap yourself. Your face was given by your parents. If you slap yourself in the face, aren't you saying that you are dissatisfied with your parents?" If it is broken, what will he think in the future?

This is not to say that He Ming is just a person who looks at his face. He just pity Gu Xi and does not want Gu Xi to hurt him.

But Gu Xi didn't listen to He Ming, so he simply hit the car wall with his head and blamed himself.

He Ming could no longer pretend, so he had to tell Gu Xi the truth: "Don't worry, Ying Chenghuan's bastard has agreed to help us. When we set off, his people have already taken action, don't worry."

Even so, Gu Xi still blamed herself. It was a fact that she failed to accomplish anything and was almost kidnapped. She still lacked the consideration and lost the alertness of her previous life.

Maybe she underestimated the ancients, or maybe she was actually so inadequate that she died.

Seeing that she was still biting her lip and hitting her head, He Ming thought she was angry and was angry that she didn't tell the truth, so he had to admit his mistake.

"Don't be angry, we are following your parents now. If something really happens, we can take action immediately, don't worry."

No matter what He Ming said, Gu Xi asked: "Did you always follow me? Just to see me be ugly?"

Gu Xi can reflect on herself and make mistakes, but she cannot tolerate others fooling her. She feels that being bullied is the same as being betrayed.

He Ming felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that they were worried about Gu Xi, so they would follow her secretly. If they hadn't followed her, they wouldn't be able to snatch her back from Ying Chenghuan in time.

But I can't say this directly. After all, they had said it before, and everything was listened to Gu Xi. I believe that she could accomplish anything by herself.

He asked Gu Xi: "If we don't follow you and you are taken away by Ying Chenghuan and the others, what should we do?"

At that time, let alone having a negotiation with Ying Chenghuan, he would not be able to be strong with Ying Chenghuan. He would have to go crazy first, and maybe he would destroy Ying Chenghuan.

Gu Xi also knew that she had not made it clear to He Ming and others at the beginning, which was very unfair to make them worried. But she knew that if she had said everything, Xi Xinyan would not agree to it first.

If Xi Xinyan didn't agree, Wen Teng had to stop her. He Ming naturally didn't need to say anything, and he would definitely strongly support Xi Xinyan. As for the reason, Gu Xi was unwilling to think deeply.

However, even if she said that, she could not change any results. She said, "I was ready to be taken away at the beginning, and also thought about what I should do after being taken away. I thought that if they did not cooperate, I would leave them all in Nanlingguan as the Zhenguan Banner."

After she was rescued from Minghualou, she asked Mr. Chang for a lot of antidote pills, and at the same time she also had a lot of poisons on her body. As long as she could still talk, she had the ability to kill people.

Even though he believed in Gu Xi's ability, He Ming was still unwilling to take risks, so he said tactfully: "No matter how capable you are, we will not allow you to take risks. As for us, there is no better way to sacrifice ourselves for justice?"

Gu Xi was not convinced and his tone was also tough: "After all, you don't have a surname. Is there no one in our Gu family? When will we rely on you? Our Gu family's affairs can be solved in the future, so we won't bother you. We will always cause trouble for you. We can't repay this favor with our Gu family."

Gu Xi had long had this idea. He would do the things that his family could solve. The more favors he owed, the more trouble it would be.

Let’s not talk about whether you can pay it back. If someone asks for help but you cannot help against morality, should you help or refuse?

So, this favor is good if you don’t owe it.

Wen Teng is the son-in-law of the Xi family and one of the relatives of the Gu family. It is natural for him to help.

He Ming, Zheng Ting and others shouldn't bother them too much, so as not to be ashamed when others have something to do but can't help.

He Ming was not happy that Gu Xi could distinguish him so clearly, and said angrily: "Our two families are family friends, and they are no different from a family. Do you think of us as outsiders if you say that?"

Gu Xi's unfamiliarity made He Ming angry. He was afraid that Gu Xi would be polite to him now, making it seem like there was an insurmountable gap between the two.

Gu Xi insisted: "Even if it is a family family, they are two families who do not want to be closed. We may be able to rely on your He family now. However, one day our two families cannot contact us, and then we will be able to count on your He family. If we can't solve the problem ourselves, we must ask you all for help."

He Ming felt that this was very reasonable, and he could not refute it for the time being. If it were him, he would definitely have said to Gu Xi and would first find a way to solve it.

But he just didn't want Gu Xi to see him like this.

"But you can't solve your family's affairs now?" He pretended to ignore the meaning of Gu Xi's dialect.

But Gu Xi didn't care, just glanced at He Ming and asked him to understand it by himself, then turned his head to look at the scenery along the way without saying a word.

Seeing this, He Ming knew that Gu Xi was angry.

He thought for a long time, but decided to speak up and coax people. As a result, Gu Xi didn't even bird him, so he got into the carriage and went to sleep with Gu You brothers.

In the following days, Gu Xi never paid attention to He Ming. Once she woke up and confirmed her family's safety, she was full of attention to the charm along the way.

The folk customs of New South are actually no different from ancient China. Different hells, different traditions, and food and customs are also far from each other.

Among them, Gu Xi’s favorite is passing by a place called Buxian, where the food is as pleasant as the scenery.

Gu Xi likes their crispy beef patties the most, and they use a thick soup made with mutton offal and mutton bones. The soup has a medicinal flavor, but there are no Chinese herbal ingredients in it, but they are just some plant spices that remove the smell of mutton.

In addition to regular food, Gu Xi also likes the milk tea here.

Rather than milk tea, it is actually goat's milk. It's just to remove the mutton smell of goat's milk and add some fragrant flower tea to cook milk.

Chapter 107 Finally arrived

Before leaving, Gu Xi brought a lot of beef jerky and almonds. As for goat milk, she only took the amount for two days.

Beef in this era is definitely a rare thing. Even beef cattle specially raised outside the pass is particularly rare because of its inconvenience in transportation.

Gu Xi has been traveling through time for more than three months and has not been able to eat a fresh beef.

While drinking milk tea and taking the almond crisps produced here, Gu Xi felt that there was no better enjoyment in the world than this.

"If you grind the almonds, add them to the milk and cook them, and add some honey, the taste will be amazing." Gu Xi recalled the almond milk from his previous life and savored it very much.

He Ming was the most unacceptable to the taste of almonds and could not agree with Gu Xi's statement. However, he would not attack Gu Xi, and only asked her: "Brother You and the others also like to drink almond milk?"

Gu Xi ignored He Ming and only promoted the benefits of eating almonds and the effects of almond milk on their bodies with his two younger brothers. He did not mention the taste of raw ground almond powder.

In fact, people in this era rarely consumed almonds. Almonds are generally used as medicine, and very few are actually used as food.

The reason why people in Bu County eat almonds is because they are rich in almonds. People are used to eating them, so they have developed many ways to eat them.

The Gu You brothers naturally couldn't get used to the smell of almonds. But they didn't want to see Gu Xi disappointed and sad, so they kept cooperating with Gu Xi and endured the unpleasant smell and ate.

Now that Gu Xi has talked about so many benefits of eating almonds, Gu Sheng needs to say that Gu You, who has always been sick, has consciously started eating almonds.

Gu Xi knew that her two younger brothers would listen to her. When she was still in Bu County, she asked the store to help fry a lot of dried almonds and pack them in a jar.

Gu Sheng grabbed a handful of almonds in his hand, and asked while eating them: "Sister, can I eat almonds every day be like you and have great strength?"

Gu Xi nodded and said, "My second brother will definitely be more successful than his sister in the future and will be stronger than his sister." Gu Sheng is already stronger than his children of the same age.

But Gu You didn't speak much. He thought to himself that if his broken body could be better at recuperation, his family would not need to worry about him.

He Ming felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the three siblings who were in love with each other, and he looked like an outsider.

In order to get into the topic, he teased Gu Sheng: "Gu Sheng, you must be like your elder brother. You think the almond smells particularly bad and don't want to eat it at all, right?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Sheng didn't buy his account and said directly: "Brother He Ming, I think the almonds are delicious. My sister asked someone to add licorice and fennel to stir-fry it. It tastes very salty and fragrant. It's sweet after eating it. It's very good. Brother He Ming can try it too." Gu Sheng generously divided half of the almonds in He Ming.

He Ming's face collapsed immediately. He really didn't like the smell of almonds, and he didn't even want to see it. But he couldn't refuse Gu Sheng's cute little one now.

Because Gu Xi was watching from the side with a fierce look.

He felt that if he showed a slight reluctance, Gu Xi might really ignore him.

"Okay, brother, believe us Xiao Sheng'er." He Ming laughed even worse than crying. He took the almond handed over by Gu Sheng, stuffed his mouth and screamed hard.

He had thought about it, and as long as he had to swallow it directly, there would be no problem at all.

He thought it well, but Gu Sheng didn't have such considerate thoughts and directly retorted: "Brother He Ming can't call me Xiao Sheng'er, where are I left? My sister said, either call me Gu Sheng or call me A Sheng. Sheng'er's Sheng'er sounds like a dog Sheng'er."

He Ming couldn't hold it in his arms, and he choked hard by the chewed almonds, and his throat was filled with the smell of almonds. He almost fainted from choking.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that some almond powder fell in his climate, and the smell of almonds was stuck there. It didn't dissipate for three days, becoming the shadow of his life.

Seeing He Ming being choked and feeling unlost, Gu Xi's anger finally faded a lot.

After leaving Bu County, it is even half the journey.

It was calm all the way, and Gu Xi always felt something was wrong. Isn’t anyone really trying to stop the Gu family from entering Beijing?

In fact, those people were really restless and had a lot of trouble, but they didn't succeed at once.

Some of them were ruthlessly strangled in the cradle before they even started. Some people could do it smoothly and could give the Gu family a shot, but they were shot horizontally and the flag that had just been raised fell.

As for those who ruined those people, they were all people, and they couldn't figure out who they themselves were.

Gu Xi didn't know either. She had gone smoothly along the way and had never heard any news that was unfavorable to the Gu family.

At first, Gu Xi thought it was because He Ming deliberately told someone to say this, but after she inquired it herself, she realized that He Ming did not hide it from her.

It was not until she left Bu County that Gu Xi realized something was wrong. Why did she feel like she was walking around the road and spend a lot of time around the country.

"Is this really a must-pass way to enter Beijing?" Gu Xi finally asked his doubts.

Gu Xi was finally willing to talk to him. He Ming was very happy and quickly replied: "No, this is the northwest of New South. You can go to the place where my father is stationed in another half a month. But I see, those people should have taken this road to bypass Jiangnan."

"Why do they take a detour?" Gu Xi became even more confused.

The prosperous era of Jiangnan must be more interesting than these remote areas. Isn’t it more convenient to walk the road in Jiangnan to escort the Gu family?

He Ming didn't know how to explain to Gu Xi, but said, "I'm afraid it's to cover up people's eyes and don't want to cause more trouble."

Covering people's eyes?

"Does our Gu family have other forces in Jiangnan?" Gu Xi asked in a mistaken opinion.

He Ming didn't answer, but just shook his head.

In the following days, He Ming became more and more serious, no longer drove the carriage himself, and often left the team and disappeared.

Gu Xi didn't think anything was wrong at first, but later he felt something was wrong. He Ming seemed to be doing something big, and he came back exhausted every time and stopped making trouble with the three siblings.

Or rather, He Ming began to hide from the three siblings.

Gu Xi was really uneasy, so he found an opportunity to ask He Ming.

He Ming didn't tell her the serious business, and always talked about him. He asked Gu Xi where the money he spent along the way came from, and then told her about the situation of Gu's family.

Gu Xi couldn't ask the answer, so he could only think of his own way.

She took advantage of the loophole, disguised herself and mingled in He Ming's team. After running with He Ming, she finally knew what He Ming had done.
