I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 107 Entanglement

At night, in a room on the second floor of an inn in Xinze County, Gu Nian'an sat cross-legged on the bed, with a trace of electric current flashing in his left hand.

At this time, his entire palm had obviously grown larger, and even the skin of his palm had turned blood red, and from time to time there was a light blue light flashing under the skin of his palm.

This lasted for half a moment, and suddenly Gu Nian'an groaned, suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He slowly raised his swollen left hand, and saw a very weak electric current jumping on his index finger.

Sure enough, the idea of ​​drawing lightning into the body is feasible. Although the current at the fingertips is very weak, it is controllable and can be gradually strengthened later.

Raising his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and then looking at his completely deformed left hand, Gu Nian'an couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The idea is feasible, but it will probably be a pain in the ass.

Every time the thunder is drawn into the body, it is equivalent to destroying all the internal meridians and capillaries, which is almost the same as Lingchi.

It's only thanks to my strong recovery ability that I dare to play like this. If it were someone else, this palm would be almost useless.

That’s all we can do today. I’ll go buy some medicinal herbs tomorrow to speed up my recovery and try to open up the meridians in my left hand as soon as possible.

After blowing out the candle and taking off his clothes, Gu Nian'an lay on the bed, closed his eyes and began to rest.

The pain in my left hand is too severe. It is not suitable for me to meditate now. I should rest for a night first.

"Ding, ding, ding"

The sky is dry and things are dry, so be careful about the fire.

"Ding, ding, ding"

The sky is dry and things are dry, so be careful about the fire.

……~

The intermittent sounds of night watchmen could be heard from afar.

At this time, the lights in the study of the Jiang Mansion were on, and a woman was sitting at the desk writing furiously.

"squeak"

The door opened and Jiang Xiao walked in wearing a loose coat and holding a bowl of chicken soup in his hand.

Seeing that his wife was busy, he did not go forward to disturb her, but sat at a guest table nearby and waited quietly.

After a while, Ye Jinxiu put the written letter into the bamboo tube and sealed it, then slowly walked behind Jiang Xiao and gently massaged his shoulders.

"Husband, you have worked hard today."

He raised his remaining left hand and gently patted the bare hand on his shoulder.

"Madam, that's not true. Your Yanyue Sect and our border troops are of the same blood. If something happens to one of your disciples, I must go there, not to mention that Qiuxue is involved."

"Come and drink the chicken soup first."

"Ah."

Stopping what she was doing and sitting next to Jiang Xiao, Ye Jinxiu carefully picked up the chicken soup on the table and drank it in small sips.

"My husband, your cooking skills are still the best. After all these years, I still like the chicken soup you make the best."

Jiang Xiao gently held his wife's waist and said nothing.

Ye Jinxiu slowly leaned on his shoulder, speaking softly, "Husband, in two years, when Wei'er is older, I will go back to the border with you, okay?"

Jiang Xiao's arms around his wife froze, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes, but he became firm in an instant.

"No, I will stay with you and Wei'er from now on. We are a family of three and we don't care about anything or ask anything. It's good to live like this for the rest of our lives."

"Well, it all depends on your husband."

Ye Jinxiu rubbed Jiang Xiao's shoulder comfortably, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Her husband was a ferocious beast, a killing god that roamed the battlefield, but now she had him imprisoned in a cage, and she had no idea whether this was right or wrong.

Ye Jinxiu was walking alone in the busy street in the early morning, followed by three people, two adults and one child.

Li Hongyu looked around at the various shops with stars twinkling in her eyes.

Few women would refuse to go shopping, and she was in a good mood today. Although there was no progress on the killer's side, the poison of her master and sisters had been cured, and they would recover in a few days. This made her feel relieved.

Shen Qiuxue was not in a very good mood. She followed Ye Jinxiu closely, and from time to time she would secretly glance at the figure in front of her with a resentful look.

After traveling for several days and the incident the night before, she was really tired. Who knew that her master was in such a good mood and dragged her out shopping early in the morning? Now she really wanted to go back and rest.

The little boy sandwiched between two beauties had a firm gaze and said nothing, looking a bit like a little adult.

Suddenly, a finger tapped Shen Qiuxue's forehead.

"Girl, Master brought you out shopping with good intentions, but you don't look happy at all."

Gently patting Ye Jinxiu's hand away, Shen Qiuxue puffed up her cheeks and said, "Uncle Master, I'm so tired. Let's go back and rest, okay?"

"Are you sure?" Ye Jinxiu looked at Shen Qiuxue with a teasing look.

"I'm sure and sure."

Shen Qiuxue hugged Ye Jinxiu's arm and shook it slowly, "Master, let's go back, okay?"

Ye Jinxiu pulled out her hand and touched her head

"I'm fine, but I'm a little hungry now. Why don't we go to the inn ahead and eat something before going back."

"Ah, Uncle Master, didn't we eat before we came out?"

"Why can't I eat again after I've already eaten? Isn't it okay for Master Uncle to be hungry?"

"Oh." Shen Qiuxue pursed her lips and followed Ye Jinxiu into the inn with helplessness on her face.

Seeing the two people in front joking like children, Li Hongyu had no choice but to pull the little boy and quickly follow them.

The four of them entered the inn and found a corner to sit down. After a moment, a fat man with a plump figure ran over and stood beside Ye Jinxiu with a respectful look on his face.

"Madam, why are you here? You didn't even tell me in advance. I...～"

Ye Jinxiu waved her hand and said, "Just do what you need to do. Bring us some snacks and don't worry about us."

"Okay, okay, okay, ma'am, I'll make arrangements right away. Please let me know if you need anything."

He lowered his head and trotted all the way to the kitchen before the shopkeeper dared to raise his head. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly ordered the kitchen to make some of his signature snacks, which he delivered personally.

Returning to the counter, he looked nervously at the four people in the corner, and was a little confused for a moment. What day was today? How could the lady and the young master have time to dine in his inconspicuous little shop?

Shen Qiuxue picked up the chopsticks and ordered some of the exquisite pastries on the table. She had already had breakfast and didn't have much of an appetite.

Looking at the uncle who hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, she asked in confusion, "Uncle, didn't you say you were hungry? Why haven't you picked up your chopsticks yet?"

Ye Jinxiu looked at the girl in front of her with a smile on her face, and her smile was somewhat malicious. "Why are you in such a hurry? Everyone hasn't arrived yet. It's so rude to pick up your chopsticks first."

The child's hand, which was about to pick up a piece of cake, stopped in mid-air.

Ye Jinxiu picked up a piece of cake from the table and handed it to the child, then gently touched his head.

"Eat more, Xiao Wei. Your father will teach you martial arts when you return later. You must eat more."

"Well, mother, I will definitely learn martial arts well."

"Yeah, our Xiao Wei is the best behaved."

Shen Qiuxue blinked her watery eyes and stared at the mother and son who were interacting. She always felt that her master's smile seemed a little weird.

"Uncle Master, are you here to wait for someone?"

Gently wiping away the cake residue from the corner of her son's mouth, Ye Jinxiu answered:

"yes"

Suddenly Ye Jinxiu pointed towards the door and said, "Look, the person I'm waiting for is here."

Hearing this, the three of them looked towards the door together. When they saw the figure at the door clearly, Shen Qiuxue opened her mouth in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

Gu Nian'an walked into the inn carrying a huge package in one hand. As soon as he entered, he frowned. Trouble had come again.

He had no intention of having anything to do with the people from the Yanyue Sect. Carrying the package, Gu Nian'an continued to walk to the second floor. The medicinal materials were almost ready. He should pack up and leave as soon as possible. If he couldn't afford to provoke him, could he not hide from him?

But before he took a few steps, a gentle voice came from the corner: "Mr. Gu, don't you want to sit down and eat something together?"

Gu Nian'an stopped and thought for a while, then slowly walked to the corner.

The child who was sitting upright stood up quickly when he saw Gu Nian'an coming and gave him his seat.

Seeing this, Gu Nian'an looked at the child in surprise, then nodded slightly.

"Thank you."

"Um"

The child simply responded and stood beside Ye Jinxiu.
