Chapter 63 Worry (1st update)
Wu Chen lifted Gu Shiming to the ground with one hand, and Gu You was dumbfounded.
Wu Chen handed the torch in his hand to Gu You, threw Gu Shiming to the ground, and said, "Let's do this for today. I'll go back and report to the Secretary to see how to continue tomorrow. This is not the way. What's next? There are a few who have fainted, please order people to carry them up."
Gu You sighed repeatedly.
Wu Chen glanced at Gu Shiming, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and asked: "How is Zhang Yuan's official business?"
"I have been sent back by order. Someone will take care of me. There should be no worries about my life." Gu You said.
Wu Chen said: "Soldiers come from the countryside. You should never see them, but you have seen them more or less. They can be frightened and faint when they go down, let alone those who are pampered? This matter is not considered."< br>
Gu You asked in confusion: "Is it so scary down there? Is it scarier than the mountain col?"
Wu Chen snorted coldly and said :
“For you, the mountain col is a cannibal, but for me it is scary! Sir, you are the most trustworthy and caring person. Whenever there is danger, you will always be there. There’s no need to risk your life. You and your brother really shouldn’t have other ideas. You said I’m going to die, but you have to fight with me. Are you a bit ignorant?”
Gu You lowered his head and said nothing.
"Is the carriage ready?" Wu Chen asked.
Gu You nodded and said, "Outside the mountain col."
Wu Chen picked up Gu Shiming with one hand, put it down again, and said, "Find two people to lift him onto the carriage, I will Carrying it would be detrimental to his reputation."
After Wu Chen said this, he walked out of the col with his hands behind his back. Gu You suddenly shouted from behind: "Thank you!"
Wu Chen didn't look back, he raised his arm and waved his hand gracefully.
......
It was already dark at this time, and the carriage wandered into the city and wandered to the door of the house.
Wu Chen opened the curtain and before getting out of the carriage, he saw Datou and Aunt Ping standing at the entrance of the courtyard with a worried look on his face.
Wu Chen jumped off the carriage, walked towards the two of them and said, "If you don't take good care of the sophomore and Xu Da, why are you running out?"
Datou anxiously stepped forward and touched Wu Chen's face. Then he looked back and forth before saying, "The old man named Zhang was carried back. He saw that there was not much air in and out. He said it was time to run errands." I'm scared. We both know you're running errands with them, so don't you worry? "
Aunt Ping said: "I know my benefactor is brave, but no matter how brave he is..."
Before Aunt Ping finished speaking, she saw the driver helping the pale-faced Gu Shiming down. , Gu Shiming followed the driver towards the courtyard with a dull expression.
“He, he’s scared too?” Pinggu asked in surprise.
Da Touzhen said: "It must be scary. I have seen this before. I couldn't survive the whole night and died before dawn."
Pinggu hurriedly said to Wu Chen: "Please Sir, please change my benefactor's job."
Wu Chen smiled and asked: "What do you think can scare me?"
Pingguwai After thinking about it for a while, thinking of Wu Chen's performance that night at the graveyard, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm also wondering, what could scare people like that?"
"Have you had dinner?" Wu Chen walked towards the courtyard.
Da TouBu said: "I wanted to eat just now, but Aunt Ping insisted on dragging me out to meet you. Now it's time for us to eat together."
"You guys eat first, I want to see the Secretary Zun first."
......
Chen Zhong sat on the cave with a solemn expression. He didn't expect that the underground was so terrifying. Zhang Yuan was okay. , if something really happened to Gu Shiming , he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain when he returned to Kyoto, but Chen Zhong was not afraid, but there was no need to make enemies for himself. He thought of what Wu Chen said: You have the power now, but when that day comes...
Just thought of it Wu Chen, Wu Chen came.
Chen Zhong motioned for Wu Chen to sit wherever he wanted.
After Wu Chen sat down, he said: "Although Gu Shiming is a little frightened, he should be fine. Take some time and take some soothing medicine. He will recover in a few days. I just don't know what happened to Zhang Yuan?"
Chen Zhong failed to control his expression this time. He looked at Wu Chen in surprise. How could Wu Chen know what he was worried about at the moment?
Wu Chen thought that Chen Zhong misunderstood that he knew medicine, and hurriedly explained: "I don't know medical skills. It's just that when he was underground, Gu Shiming had obviously gained some energy. If he was really frightened, what he said It was also nonsense, and what he said was normal, so I concluded that he was not in trouble."
Chen Zhongshu. He took a breath and said, "I have already ordered someone to treat me. Don't worry! But, what can I do tomorrow to find the treasure as soon as possible?"
Wu Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Underground The murals are really weird and terrifying, and it’s hard for most people to stand it, but it’s useless for me to see it alone.”
Chen Zhong immediately asked: "Didn't you say that the group of people who built the mountain col and the people who hid the treasure were not the same group of people? That mural must have nothing to do with the people Qi Xuan sent to hide the treasure..."
"Yes, but no matter whether the treasure is hidden in the south wall or the north wall, the wall must be carved, right? Where to start? Will there be murals? What's the other meaning? If it's destroyed improperly, will it lead to trouble? The Secretary must have thought of this before he asked me to take Gu Shiming and Zhang Yuan underground, but he didn't know..."
"You go down first, I'll think about it again, and come back tomorrow morning."
Wu Chen stood up and left.
……
Back in the front yard, Wu Chen first visited the sophomore and Xu Da before going back to the house to have dinner.
Da Tou was already full and lying on the bed. What Wu Chen didn’t expect was that Aunt Ping was also there.
"Why didn't you go back to your house to eat?" Wu Chen asked after washing his hands in the copper basin.
Ping Gu mustered up the courage and said: "I thought about it again and again, and I feel that there is probably no one who can go on errands with you tomorrow. It's better for me to go with you than to go by yourself. What if...at least there is still me."
Wu Chen was stunned for a moment.
Datou hurriedly sat up and said: "Then I will go too. Although I am timid, but... there is no but. If Pinggu can go, I will go. It's not like I haven't gone out with you at night."
"What did you see when you went out at night?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.
The big head pointed at Pinggu.
Wu Chen said: "Ping Gu is indeed braver, but you can't do it. You can really see weird things underground. You will be scared. If you are really frightened, you will not be able to appreciate the delicious food. By then You may not even know whether you are full or hungry."
When Da Tou heard this, he immediately lied and sat down at the table and asked, "What should I do?"
Wu Chen sat down, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat, and said, "Just don't go. It's not like you don't know my courage. Those things can't scare me. If you go, it will hinder me from protecting you."
He tilted his head and thought about it, and advised Aunt Ping: "Don't go either, otherwise my brother will be involved in protecting you. , delaying the errand."
"I'm not like you!" Aunt Ping said unhappily: "If I was afraid of those things, how could I stay alone in the graveyard for two nights? Do you dare to stay alone in the graveyard at night? "
Datou shook his head quickly.
Ping Gu raised her head, looked at Wu Chen and said firmly: "I can do it!"
Wu Chen smiled and said: "I believe you can do it, but it's not a matter of fear. What we need now is someone who can understand paintings. Oh, don't worry about it. I'll be fine. Have you eaten? ? If you haven’t eaten, let’s eat together.”
