Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"...We were not sent by your wife. Just tell the truth. We just want to ask some questions." Gu Yue was speechless.

"If I don't want to go, I won't go!" Old Huang became more determined.

Gu Yue sneered, stood up, and threw the knife accurately at Lao Huang's face.

"Shi San, dig out one of his eyes." Gu Yue said in a cold tone.

Shi San picked up the knife and stabbed it into Lao Huang's eyes.

"I said!!!! I said!!!!!!!" Old Huang roared miserably.

Shi San was not stupid. He knew that it was just a scare, so he stopped.

"I, I often go to Xiaomanlou in Sushui County. It's close to my home and there's cheap fun there." Lao Huang cried, "Don't tell my wife, please, wuwuwu..."

Gu Yue asked again: "What are the origins of those girls?"

"I don't know...Oh! Oh, a girl said that she was sold to a brothel by her family." Old Huang choked.

That's right. No problem.

Gu Yue signaled Shi San to let Lao Huang go.

Lao Huang ran away crawling away.

The roar seemed to attract the attention of the gamblers in the backyard, but these guys were so addicted that no one came out to watch.

The three of them returned to the river.

"What are you doubting?" Gu Xu asked.

"I'm wondering if Li Taohua is Qin Zhaoyue's person." Gu Yue said truthfully.

"..."Gu Xu was silent.

In fact, when Gu Yue said this, Gu Xu's suspicion of him was basically overturned.

But Gu Xu's caution still reminded him that he needed more evidence.

"Why do you think so, Dad?" Gu Xu sat down next to Gu Yue, facing the gurgling stream.

Shi San leaned against the willow tree by the river.

With him around, no one could get close to eavesdropping on their conversation.

Gu Yue was stuck.

He wanted to explain, but the plot in the original text was that Gu Xu was sold to a brothel and then rescued by the prince. In this world, it did not happen due to his intervention.

When Gu Dashi was about to sell Gu Xu, he happened to meet Li Taohua, who ran a brothel in Liuli Town.

Being a prostitute was such a dark and terrifying experience, and the prince who saved him in time, the good friends who used to have a lot in common, and the life-saving grace they returned to each other...

Could everything be such a coincidence?

Why did Qin Zhaoyue appear in the brothel? He was not into homosexuality, and no one knew about his relationship with Gu Xu.

In the original text, there is no detailed description of the scene when Gu Xu was rescued by Qin Zhaoyue.

Gu Xu resisted and escaped from the brothel. Who knows, he might be discovered by Qin Zhaoyue on the way?

Unfortunately, the regent in the original text is not here, so he has no way to verify it.

Everything in this life has changed.

"Why?" Gu Xu grabbed his hand.

Gu Yue looked at him, and saw a hint of urgency on his face, which usually had a calm expression.

"...I just suddenly felt it was a coincidence." Gu Yue said, "I needed money at the beginning, so I met Li Taohua. When we contacted the person who looked like you, Li Taohua also appeared immediately. Today we want to hire a helper, and Li Taohua just happened to have someone."

"Isn't it a coincidence?" Gu Yue held Gu Xu's hand.

"…Then why do you suspect he is related to the Crown Prince and not someone else?"

Gu Xu asked.

He hoped to get an answer that would put him at ease, but...

But perhaps the poison of doubt was deeply rooted in his heart from the beginning and is something that is difficult to eradicate.

Therefore, Gu Xu hoped that Gu Yue would give him an answer that would allow him to completely trust him.

What would the answer be?

Gu Xu didn't know.

Gu Yue looked up and thought for a while.

"...Let me ask you something, Xiao Xu." Gu Yue said.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xu asked.

Gu Yue didn't speak immediately.

He suddenly realized something.

The reason why he conceals some things is essentially because of his fear.

He was afraid of death, afraid of Gu Xu's hatred, afraid of everything in the future that he could not control, and afraid of the unknown.

The male lead is really too scary.

The protagonist has an extremely high IQ, is ruthless and cruel, and has a bond that is filled with no room for cannon fodder to interfere.

Gu Xu was like a cold snake, watching from the dark. Gu Yue seemed to never understand what was going on in this child's mind. Those temptations and those hidden confrontations made him feel that this person was not as docile as he seemed, and that he essentially did not trust him.

So Gu Yue has been acting, pretending to be a kind father, maintaining the warmth and harmony on the surface, and not letting the cold core of the problem be exposed.

He is running away.

Escaping is the most useless behavior.

"Gu Xu." Gu Yue said.

He looked into Gu Xu's eyes quietly: "If I did something wrong in the past, would you forgive me?"

Gu Xu was silent.

"What kind of wrong?" he asked.

Gu Yue didn't hear any affirmative answer, and his heart sank.

"I don't know, but I have this feeling." Gu Yue tried again, "I... I did something wrong that hurt you, but I don't remember what it was."

"I just think those things are very serious, and I'm worried that you will..." Gu Yue was stuck, what would happen?

What will happen to Gu Xu?

Gu Xu just looked into his eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes filled with tension and expectation, and the emotions were so clear that one could see through them at a glance. Gu Xu could hardly see any calculating look in those eyes, even though they belonged to a person with many doubts.

…If a person lurks so deeply and so realistically, it is reasonable that he would fall for it.

Gu Xu thought.

A breeze blew across the river.

"If it were you now," Gu Xu said, "I can forgive you."

But Gu Dashi can't do that.

Gu Yue grinned almost immediately.

So happy!

But is it true or false?

No, the male protagonist has already expressed his trust, he can't make such random guesses.

"So, why do you suspect Li Taohua?" Gu Xu didn't forget the main topic. The main reason was that the oversized silly smile on this person's face was really unbearable to look at.

"That's it." Gu Yue said, "That day in Sushui County, I went to the county government office to ask Zhou Zonggui for money, but the prince met with me alone."

Gu Xu's expression suddenly changed.

He wrote to my brothers and sisters to ask about this matter, but they were not present at the time, so he didn't know what they said.

"What did you say?" Gu Xu asked.

"He asked me how you were." Gu Yue stared at Gu Xu's expression.

Gu Xu's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't look very surprised.

"Then?"

"I didn't answer him directly. I didn't dare to say too much. The prince and I have probably met before." Gu Yue said, "He saw that I was talking about something else and didn't say much. He just said that he had been attacked, let alone me."

"You know each other, but you don't know?" Gu Xu just felt that this was a mess.

He had two guesses about Gu Dashi's current situation: first, he was possessed by a demon, and second, he was in disguise.

But both of these speculations have loopholes, and he really can't be sure.

"Maybe it was because you hit me with a hoe at that time. After I woke up, I forgot a lot of things." Gu Yue blamed everything on his injury.

Otherwise, how could he explain to Gu Xu that he was a character in a book?

"...Who are you?" Gu Xu looked at him and asked.
