Shadow Guard, he's a bit good

Gu Xiao wants to fight quickly

The well water in winter is not cold at all, but still slightly steaming.

Gu Xiao wanted to make a quick decision and wash the dishes quickly before the well water cooled down.

Nineteen came out of the kitchen and couldn't help laughing when he saw his posture as if he was going to war.

"I'll come." Nineteen squatted down

"No, I'll clean it up"

Nineteen's hand had already reached into the basin, which was full of floating vegetables, so Gu Xiao accurately grasped Nineteen's hand, and quickly squeezed it.

Then Gu Xiao immediately let go as if he had been electrocuted, and said with shame on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

No, I did it on purpose.

"It's ok"

There was really no need to apologize for the two big men accidentally touching hands, and Shiji didn't take it to heart at all.

Gu Xiao was very happy in his heart, even if he could only be clever and touch Nineteen's hand, he would be happy now.

But soon Gu Xiao couldn't be happy anymore.

Gu Xiao put the washed dishes into the kitchen, and when he came out, he heard Nineteen call out "Brother Huo"

A man wearing a navy blue short jacket and a fur cover was greeting Nineteen enthusiastically.

Brother Huo, who was called by Nineteen, should be Zhang Huo, Nineteen’s savior. He has good facial features and is particularly strong. He is half a head taller than Gu Xiao. If he didn’t know that he was a bodyguard, he would have thought he was a bandit leader. .

"This brother is..." Zhang Huo looked at Gu Xiao

"His name is Ah Qi. He passed out at the door of my house a few days ago, so I took him in."

"So it's Brother Ah Qi"

Zhang Huo bowed his fists to Gu Xiao, and then said to Shijiu: "This is your salary for this month."

Zhang Huo handed a purse to Nineteen, Nineteen took it upside down and said, "It's too much."

"The Chief Escort also appreciates your martial arts, you deserve the extra points, take them all."

"But I don't think I did anything"

It is a shame to only go to guide three times a month to pay according to the money, how can I get more.

Shijiu felt ashamed and wanted to return the extra to Zhang Huo, but Zhang Huo reached out to stop him.

"Why do you and I see each other like this? We don't have much money in the first place."

Gu Xiao stared at Zhang Huo holding Shijiu's hand, no matter how he looked at it, he felt it was an eyesore.

Nineteen didn't make any more excuses and accepted the money.

People came to give away money when it was time for dinner, so it was natural to keep people for dinner.

Nineteen went to cook, Zhang Huo volunteered to help, making Gu Xiao look like a superfluous person.

The two were in the kitchen, one was cutting vegetables and the other was helping to deliver things. They talked and laughed and cooperated very tacitly. I feel that the two of them should often do this in the past five years.

Gu Xiao: ...

I don't know if it's because Gu Xiao was too sensitive and thought too much. I always felt that Zhang Huo's treatment of Shijiu was extraordinary, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shijiu was also unusual. Gu Xiao immediately felt a sense of crisis.

"let me come"

Gu Xiao took the kitchen knife from Shijiu's hands in the past, and they can't let them go on like this.

"Do you know"

"Yes, I used to cook at home often"

Gu Xiao didn't lie about this, before he lived alone, he cooked for himself, of course, whether it tastes good or not is another matter.

Nineteen nodded and handed the kitchen knife to Gu Xiao and went out by himself.

Zhang Huo withdrew his smile and stared at Gu Xiao, as if Gu Xiao had disturbed him with something good, Gu Xiaoquan acted as if he didn't see anything and cut his own vegetables as if nothing had happened.

Today's dishes include sweet and sour pork ribs, potato stew, vegetarian meatballs and a plate of refreshing fried vegetables.

It was too cold in the yard, so the three gathered around the dining table in the house to eat.

Zhang Huo smiled and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Shijiu's bowl.

Gu Xiao was like five thunders hitting the top, but it wasn't the thunder that came down, but the green hat.

As soon as Gu Xiao rolled his eyes, he went to pick up vegetarian meatballs.

It failed the first time, failed the second time, and still failed the third time. Su Wanzi dodged left and right under the attack of Gu Xiao's chopsticks as if alive, but couldn't pick it up.

Then the vegetarian meatball that Gu Xiao took a fancy to was picked up and put into his own bowl, it was safe and secure.

Nineteen smiled at him, Gu Xiao also grinned with big white teeth.

"Thank you bro"

After finishing speaking, he still did not forget to cast a provocative glance at Zhang Huo next to him, what is it to serve Shijiu with food, but to ask Shijiu to serve himself food is considered a real skill.

Gu Xiao ate the vegetarian meatball in one bite, it was so delicious.

After dinner, Nineteen went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Gu Xiao and Zhang Huo wanted to help, but Nineteen refused.

So Zhang Huo found a place in the courtyard to sit in the sun, and Gu Xiao fed the rabbit with dried green vegetable leaves.

This rabbit was caught on the day Nineteen rescued the county magistrate, and it was considered to have shared adversity with Nineteen, so it was raised by Nineteen, and since Gu Xiao came, the job of feeding the rabbit has been handed over to him.

Ai Wu and Wu Gu Xiao took care of the rabbit very attentively, which reminded him of the milk cat that Shijiu once begged to help Qing to send him off, but the milk cat disappeared after the catastrophe in King Yan's Mansion, and he didn't know whether it died or fled. up.

Gu Xiao looked at the cute snow-white ball wriggling and eating vegetable leaves with a benevolent face.

Suddenly the shadows covered, a big hand caught off guard and grabbed the rabbit's two ears, and lifted the rabbit up, the snow-white ball still had vegetable leaves in its mouth, and kicked its hind legs non-stop, as if protesting.

"Such a fat and tender rabbit, the meat must be delicious"

Holding the rabbit, Zhang Huo looked at Gu Xiao with malicious intentions, defiantly calling for a beating.

"I also think it's delicious. If you don't ask Nineteen, just say Brother Huo, you want to eat rabbit meat."

Gu Xiao suddenly revealed a mouthful of white teeth, which was different from the toothy grin that Chong Shijiu had just shown. This smile was a superficial smile, like a stiff grin of a thousand-year-old corpse, with a bit of eerie , as if the other party would pounce on him and bite his neck in the next second, dripping blood from his bite.

A thunderstorm suddenly exploded in the sky, and the weather that was fine just now seemed to be about to rain.

Zhang Huo stepped back a few steps with a frightened face, not knowing whether he was frightened by the thunder or Gu Xiao, maybe both.

"Oh, it seems to be raining soon. I can't talk to you anymore. I'm going to collect the clothes. Otherwise, Nineteen will blame me."

Gu Xiao rescued the rabbit from Zhang Huo, put the rabbit back into the cage and carried the cage into the house, then began to collect the dry clothes, humming a song while collecting them, ignoring the startled Zhang Huo at all.

Zhang Huo, who came back to his senses, looked at Gu Xiao's back and clenched his fists angrily, his veins bulging.

At night, the room was warmed by a charcoal fire, but Gu Xiao didn't want to sleep alone. Today, because of Zhang Huo's appearance, Gu Xiao felt that he should declare his sovereignty.

So Gu Xiaoqi started the mode of selling miserables and selling poor ones.

"Brother, the thunder outside is so scary. I'm so scared. It reminds me of a stormy night. The scene where my dad was drunk and beat my mother was really scary."

Dare I ask who can refuse a pure little white flower that looks pitiful and weak with its big eyes fluttering and glistening tears in them.

The answer is no, my heart would be broken just by looking at it, and I was hit [-] times without covering my heart with my strong determination. Ordinary people without concentration would have gone up and beat them... No, ouch up.

"So brother, can I sleep with you today?"

"Can"

Nineteen, who was very determined, couldn't refuse Gu Xiao's request, because it was really no big deal, Ah Qi must have never felt the warmth of a family before, so he wanted to sleep with him.

What Gu Xiao thinks is that once is impossible, this kind of thing happens once and is familiar with twice, once the first time, there will be the second time and there will be countless times in the future, as long as Nineteen follows his way, he will Can stay on the nineteenth bed forever.

Satisfied, Gu Xiao lay down on Nineteen's side. He wanted to hug Nineteen but didn't dare. He hesitated for a long time, so long that he couldn't fall asleep.

He missed Nineteen too much, and he wanted to hug him tightly in his arms.

Nineteen had already fallen asleep in the middle of the night, Nineteen seemed to be sleeping very well, and could maintain a flat sleeping position all night, Gu Xiao hesitated again and again, and finally retreated to the next best thing, hugging Nineteen's arm, and closed his eyes in peace.

Nineteen in the dark night opened his eyes and turned his head to Gu Xiao's direction and smiled slightly.

The author has something to say: Tomorrow is still not updated~

Chapter 65 Every time there is a competition for the first time, there will be a second time. In the countless times since then, Gu Xiao has been lying on Nineteen's bed and hugging him

For the first time, there will be the second time. In the countless times since then, Gu Xiao has slept on Nineteen's bed with his arm in his arms. He thought he was doing it secretly, but he didn't know that Nineteen had already noticed his small movements. .

Today is the day when Nineteen is going to teach at Longwei Escort, Gu Xiao is worried that Nineteen will get along with Zhang Huo and begs Nineteen to bring him along.

Seeing Gu Xiao and Zhang Huo who came together greeted him politely on the surface, but his teeth itched with hatred in his heart.

Everyone was already waiting at the martial arts training ground, Gu Xiao was sitting by the side drinking tea and eating snacks, while watching his precious son teach others martial arts, the serious and serious Nineteen who was concentrating on it was really handsome.

The nympho Gu Xiao also focused on looking at Shijiu, completely ignoring the malicious gaze cast from the side.

After the round was over, everyone rested at the same place. Nineteen walked towards Gu Xiao. Gu Xiao hurriedly brought a cup of tea to Nineteen.

"Brother, drink tea quickly, if you are tired, I will squeeze it for you"

Nineteen took the tea and drank it, "It's okay, I'm not tired."

Gu Xiao didn't listen to Nineteen either, he pushed him into a chair and beat his back and rubbed his shoulders straight away, it was outrageously courteous.

Zhang Huo looked in his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't know if Brother Ah Qi can shoot arrows."

Gu Xiao and Shijiu looked at Zhang Huo at the same time without knowing why.

"Why don't you have a competition with Brother Ah Qi?"

After Zhang Huo finished speaking, he asked people to prepare bows and arrows.

Gu Xiao: ...

What kind of gangsters' practice of buying and selling by force is this? Did he agree?

"Brother Huo, Ah Qi doesn't know martial arts"

Nineteen hurriedly got up to explain, but Zhang Huo said with a disapproving expression: "Knowing martial arts doesn't mean not knowing how to shoot arrows."

"Ah Qi really won't"

"But I think he's very shrewd, maybe he's hiding something deep."

Gu Xiao: You really have the eyes to see the torch, I admire you

"If Brother Huo wants to find someone to compete with, I can accompany you. Ah Qi really doesn't know how to shoot arrows."

"Nineteen, your arrow skills are amazing. Brother Huo has seen it before, and now I only want Brother Ah Qi to compare."

Gu Xiao: Don't be ashamed anymore, since you want to humiliate yourself, then this king will help you.

"Okay, I also want to compete with the second head of the bodyguard agency who is famous all over the world."

"Ah Seven..."

Nineteen looked at Gu Xiao worriedly, Gu Xiao smiled at him and comforted him, "Don't worry brother, I've shot arrows before."

Shijiu was still worried, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Ah Qi didn't seem like someone who could shoot arrows. Even if he could, compared with Zhang Huo, he was still a toddler, not at the same level at all.

"Brother Ah Qi is really refreshing, so let's start, but we don't shoot targets"

Gu Xiao wondered: "If you don't shoot the target, then what?"

Zhang Huo signaled them to look into the field, and saw a person standing in the distance with an apple on his head.

At this time, someone brought a horse. Zhang Huo turned on the horse and walked back and forth in the field for a few times. After that, the horse's belly was caught suddenly, and the horse started to gallop. The man began to let go.

Hearing a "swish", the off-string arrow accurately hit the apple on the top of the man's head, and the audience immediately burst into applause and cheers, and Zhang Huo dismounted triumphantly and handed the bow and arrow to Gu Xiao.

"It's your turn, Seventh Brother"

Hitting the target while constantly moving undoubtedly added to the difficulty of archery, and the target was still a person, and if he missed, the person would not die or be seriously injured.

Zhang Huo decided that he did not know how to shoot arrows, so he dared to provoke him. Now he deliberately took someone as a target, thinking that he would hurt someone by mistake so that he could blackmail him.

Gu Xiao didn't go to pick up the bow and arrow for a long time, Zhang Huo felt even more proud, and even more determined that Gu Xiao was afraid.

"What? Brother Ah Qi is afraid? Even if you are afraid, it's okay. After all, brother Ah Qi is not from our Jianghu, so naturally he doesn't have the courage of our Jianghu people. What do you think? Nineteen"

"Who said I was scared?" Gu Xiao snatched the bow and arrow

In fact, he can also refuse, and there is no loss anyway, but he just can't understand Zhang Huo's arrogant appearance, let alone he doesn't want Nineteen to underestimate him.

Zhang Huo thought he was an idiot who had never seen the world and knew nothing, but he didn't know that although he was not the real king of Yan, he could penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, but the basics of horseback riding and archery were not a problem. Others underestimated him, especially during the five years since Nineteen disappeared. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would go to the martial arts field to practice riding and shooting to vent his emotions.

"Wait a moment"

Just as Gu Xiao took the bow and arrow and was about to mount the horse, Nineteen said, "Just let me do the apple."

"elder brother!"

"Nineteen! This is too dangerous, just let others come"

This time Gu Xiao rarely agreed with Zhang Huo's point of view, no matter how confident he was in himself, he would not dare to joke about Nineteen's life.

"Don't worry, even if you miss me, you can escape"

Gu Xiao still shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous, just watch from the side."

"I trust you, don't you trust yourself?"

Gu Xiao said anxiously: "This has nothing to do with trust or not, I can't make fun of your life, bro."

"It's okay, I believe you"

Nineteen did not listen to persuasion, and went straight to the field after speaking, took the handed apple and put it on his head.

Gu Xiao shouted in the distance at nineteen: "Come on!"

Zhang Huo didn't expect that he deliberately made things difficult for Ah Qi but picked up Shijiu. At this time, he was annoyed and worried.

Gu Xiao clenched the bow in his hand and resolutely got on the horse.

Since Nineteen trusted him so much, how could he live up to Nineteen's trust.

Like Zhang Huo, Gu Xiao rode back and forth on horseback to observe the best position, but it took him significantly longer than Zhang Huo, because the person opposite was his beloved Shijiu, so he couldn't be sloppy, even ten minutes later. He didn't want to see Jiu receive even the slightest threat to his life.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, so long that other people began to whisper, doubting whether Gu Xiao could shoot arrows, what if he was injured by Shijiu, and if he couldn't, he might as well just admit defeat, why bother playing this hero.

Gu Xiao turned a blind eye to the discussion. He clamped the horse's belly and let the horse run. The big brown horse carried him around a circle. After passing the measured position, Gu Xiao let go of his hand. The Wind of Daybreak flew to Nineteenth and firmly inserted it into the apple.

I don't know who took the lead and shouted "Yes", and then the applause and cheers sounded again, which was a bit more enthusiastic than when Zhang Huo shot the apple.

Zhang Huo is the second head of the Escort, so his ability is naturally not weak. It is not surprising that he hit an apple while riding a horse. On the contrary, Gu Xiao, who seems weak, can also do it, which makes them feel wonderful and surprised.

While Zhang Huo breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was full of resentment. Seeing the two people who had hugged each other in celebration/their fists were tightly clenched, at the same time a vicious thought also emerged in his mind.

Due to Gu Xiao's good performance, he bought a lot of vegetables for extra meals for the two at noon.

Originally Zhang Huo wanted to keep them for dinner, but Gu Xiao refused on the grounds that he wanted to eat the braised fish made by Nineteen.

Back home Gu Xiao was unhappy, Nineteen put down the things in his hands and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Brother Huo doesn't seem to like me"

It's very sad.

Nineteen can naturally see this point, but one is his savior, and the other is the poor little Seventh, and he doesn't want the two to have conflicts.

"Brother Huo is like this. Don't take it to heart. Although he looks difficult to get along with, he is very righteous."

Is it just for you, you are a fool, you still can't see that the other party has something wrong with you.

"I know Brother Huo is my savior, I shouldn't say that, but Brother Huo is really hostile to me, brother, can you stop teaching at Longwei Escort, I'm afraid that Brother Huo will embarrass me again next time"

Nineteen is also in a dilemma, Zhang Huo has been kind to him and has saved his life before, so he has already agreed to the matter, so it is good to go back on his promise.

"I promise you no, or you will stay at home and wait for me next time and don't go"

It's even worse to stay at home and wait for that, Gu Xiao is very unhappy.

"Brother, do you want money, I can earn money for you, really"

Nineteen frowned and said, "Ah Qi, it's not about money."

"Anyway, you just don't want to, right, and you are indifferent when you see him bullying me"

Gu Xiao pretended to be angry, turned around and ran back to the house but could not come out.

Nineteen sighed helplessly.

When eating, Gu Xiao just buried his head in his meal and didn't say a word to Nineteen. Even if Nineteen brought him his favorite dish, he would just snort and turn his head away.

They still slept together at night, but Gu Xiao turned his face to the wall and turned his back to Shijiu, and fell asleep without holding Shijiu's arms.

Nineteen turned the person over while Gu Xiao was asleep, and stuffed his arm into the opponent's arms. Gu Xiao, who was sleeping, felt something in his arms and hugged him tightly. At the same time, he held his face on Nineteen's arms. rubbed on.

Nineteen couldn't help laughing.
