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

It seems that there is a nobleman named Su in the original text.

The old patriarch of the Su family was the emperor's tutor, but he had resigned from the position long ago due to his advanced age. However, his descendants were very promising, and both the first and second wives were high-ranking officials who could attend the court. The family had a large population, and many of their descendants served as officials in various places.

The old master had many students all over the world, and the private schools he founded were all over the country. His reputation was very loud. Many officials in the court were his students.

Such a family firmly followed the prince from the beginning, but in a certain incident later, the first wife was assassinated and his wife hanged herself; the second wife seemed to be involved in some rebellion of the prince, and the entire Su family was implicated and exterminated. When the family was confiscated, the third wife resisted most fiercely and burned down the entire backyard of the Su family.

The third wife had a son who fled and did not appear again until the end of the book.

In the original text, of course the prince quickly found out who was behind the Su family incident, and he also made a big fuss about the Su family's affairs, paving the way for his future ascent to the pinnacle of power.

But the original text did not explain what the relationship between Gu Xu and the Su family was until the end.

Is there any foreshadowing?

What kind of hidden plot is there in this kind of exciting story?

"Let's go back and investigate this Su family. If they are reliable, Xiao Xu, you just..." Gu Yue stopped halfway through his words.

So what? Go back?

It was clear in the original text that this family had no good ending, so why did he ask Gu Xu to go back?

Really, how could my IQ suddenly disappear?

"No, that won't work. We have to investigate first." Gu Yue said.

"I won't go back with them." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue put his hands on his shoulders and said, "Let's talk about it after we check it out! You should make good use of everything around you. The Su family values ​​you so much, you can get a lot of things that I can't give you."

"Impossible." Gu Xu frowned irritably. What was this person talking about?

She was crying on the way because she was leaving, and now she was thinking about pushing him away.

Is power so important to him?

"It's okay, let's not talk about this now." Gu Yue sensed his dissatisfaction and immediately ended the topic, "Let's explore Tongshan first."

The three of them walked along the woods by the lake towards the village on the other side.

From a distance, Tongshan Village is small and looks very cozy. Unlike Gujia Village, the houses there are old and there is not a single tiled house.

As he got closer, Gu Yue saw some children playing on the path in the village. There was a wooden pier next to the lake, with a wooden house on it and dried fish hanging on the wall.

The villagers he saw seemed to be in good spirits, but Gu Yue always felt something was wrong.

"Do you feel something is wrong?" Gu Yue asked Shi San and Gu Xu. After all, his observation skills were not as good as those of these experienced ones.

They both shook their heads.

Gu Yue couldn't tell anything was wrong.

As they got closer, the three were first spotted by a child who ran to the edge of the woods.

"Who are you!" The little boy wearing only a straw bag was very alert. He pointed at Gu Yue and shouted, and was about to run towards the village, but was grabbed by Gu Yue and his mouth was covered.

The child was so scared that he was about to cry!

Gu Yue signaled with his eyes, and Shi San put the fruits he had picked on the road to satisfy the hunger of the father and son into the child's hands.

The child didn't care at all, but after relaxing a little, Gu Yue also let go of his hand: "Don't scream!"

"What do you do?" the child was very scared.

"We got the news that a group of bad guys were coming to the village to rob, so we came to take a look." Gu Yue lied to the child and said, "Have there been any strangers coming and going in the village these days?"

Children these days are naive and easily deceived. The child believed it immediately: "Then tell the village chief right away!"

"Don't do it yet." Gu Yue said, "What if there are bad guys in the village?"

"No one has come here these days, except the brother who sells candies," said the child.

"Are you sure?" Gu Yue asked.

"I'm sure!" The child patted his chest, "We patrol the forest every day and won't let the bad guys go."

Gu Yue felt something unusual.

In such a quiet and peaceful village, the first reaction of these children when they saw them was to be wary. I wonder what the adults had instilled in them?

He then asked, "Do you often play this kind of patrol game?"

"What game? We are really on patrol." The child said seriously, "I am still the captain of the team."

"You're so awesome! But why do we have to patrol? There are often bad guys coming to the village?" Gu Yue flattered.

The child looked very happy: "The village chief said so. He said that we must inform him immediately if anyone comes, otherwise the village will be in danger."

Gu Yue was in deep thought.

This is very strange. If there is any real danger, why do we need to let the children patrol? What if the bad guys are so vicious that they kill the children?

It is also very dangerous to let children run around in the woods, what if there are wild animals?

That is to say... there is no danger that could endanger life in the woods, and the village chief needs to know what happens in the woods every day, so he lets the children who don't have to work act as spies.

"So what results did you get from your patrol?" Gu Yue asked with a smile.

"There are people in the woods occasionally...but nothing serious happens," said the child.

"When was the last time you saw someone?" Gu Yue asked.

"Almost half a year ago, there was a group of people doing something in the woods, and they were holding knives. I told the village chief." The child answered every question.

Gu Yue thought for a while, considering whether to meet with the village chief.

What would they talk about when they met? Came for the treasure? But the people in this village should not know what the treasure is, otherwise they would have dug it up long ago.

But if they didn't go to meet, it would not work for the three of them to wander around in such a big mountain.

"Can you take me to see the village chief? I need to tell him about the bad guys." Gu Yue asked the child.

The child nodded. The child, whose vanity was greatly satisfied, led the way, and Gu Yue and the other two followed closely behind.

After entering the village, the sense of disharmony became more obvious. But everything seemed normal, and Gu Yue couldn't find the source for a while.

Arriving at a thatched house near the lake at the end of the village, the child opened the door and ran inside, shouting, "Uncle Village Chief! Someone's looking for you!"

"Who is it?" an old voice came out.

The child bumped into the straw door curtain, and after a while, ran out happily holding something.

The straw curtain was lifted, and an old man with white hair and eyebrows walked out of the house.

"You must be the village chief, we..." Gu Yue opened his mouth to explain his purpose, but saw that the old man's eyes were always on Gu Xu.

"Old man?" Gu Yue asked.

Gu Xu glanced at Gu Yue with a puzzled look on his face.

"Wait, wait a minute, let me take a look..." The old village chief's hands were shaking a little.

He turned and went back into the house, and there was a sound of someone rummaging through something.
