Chapter 72
Seeing the pretty figure with a hint of wind and frost on his face, Mr. Gu was obviously stunned, and there was a little more reminiscence in his expression.

"Jiuer?"

This name, I don’t know why, just blurted out.

Hearing the other party call that title directly, Su Jiuyue's face showed a little surprise:
"You...remember this? Do you recognize me?"

"Ah."

Mr. Gu nodded.

"Some time ago, that memory appeared in my mind inexplicably. I went to that deserted temple when I was a child. It has been abandoned for more than 100 years. And the abbot of that temple, my grandfather said, is exactly the same person. The monk’s name is Gu, so I’m sure it’s not a figment, but a person’s memory.”

Quite smart?

Now that Su Jiuyue understood everything, she didn't have to go through all the twists and turns, so she smiled at him.

"That would save a lot of trouble. You don't have to explain anything extra."

"That doesn't save much trouble... Let me introduce you again. I am not the Gu Xia you remember."

Mr. Gu met Su Jiuyue's twinkling beautiful eyes:
"My name is Gu Dong, just an ordinary teacher."

"Gu... Dong?"

She lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and then smiled at the teacher:
"I don't know whether I should say it's been a long time, or it's the first time we've met. Anyway, as you know, I'm Su Jiuyue~"

It had obviously been more than a hundred years, but the other party's appearance had not changed at all. That pretty girlish appearance left Gu Dong speechless for a moment.

He turned his head and looked into the courtyard. The children had already finished eating and ran home.

"It's not good to talk here all the time. If you don't mind, Jiu'er... can you come and sit in my humble residence?"

"Okay~ I'm already tired~"

……

Near the school, there is a very simple small bamboo house, which is Gu Dong's residence.

Gently pushing open the bamboo door, Gu Dong led Su Jiuyue into the front yard surrounded by a low fence, and then he bent down and caught a native chicken.

Holding the old hen that was still flapping its wings in his hand, Gu Dong turned to Su Jiuyue and smiled: "We have distinguished guests coming, so we have to make arrangements for them."

Su Jiuyue stared at the chicken in the other person's hand with a complicated expression.

"You seem... really different from him."

Gu Dong naturally knew who the "him" the other party was talking about was.

"He is a monk who does not eat meat, and I am a normal scholar. It is definitely different."

He picked up the poor old hen and walked towards the kitchen without looking back.

Su Jiuyue sighed, looked at his back, was stunned for a while, and then said:
"Feel sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I'm sorry that I couldn't go back and save you who was all for me that year."

Hearing this, Gu Dong stopped and glanced back at Su Jiuyue. He just shook his head and said slowly:
"you are wrong."

Su Jiuyue tilted her head, with a trace of confusion in her eyes: "What's wrong?"

"You made a mistake. Although Gu Xia and I are the same person in a sense. But in my opinion, I am just Gu Dong. He is the one you want to apologize to, not me."

Su Jiuyue thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "You are right."

"But, in my opinion, you can be regarded as an old friend, and I haven't had guests in this shabby house for a long time. It's better to entertain guests, otherwise it will always feel a little weird..."

"Huh, so you're so familiar with me this time?"

"What do you mean by me this time? I am me, I just have a little more of Gu Xia's memory."

Gu Dong protested as he walked into the kitchen, and soon there was the sound of chicken being killed.

Really different.

Hearing the sound coming from the kitchen, Su Jiuyue's expression was very strange. After standing blankly for a while, she casually walked to the well, took a spoonful of water to wash her hands and face, and then walked to the courtyard. He sat down at the small stone table and waited for dinner.

After Gu Dong brought the hot sliced ​​chicken to the table, Su Jiuyue, who was sitting at the table, picked up her chopsticks and tapped the edge of the bowl, urging: "Hurry up and serve the food. I have been traveling all day today." , I'm almost starving to death. Speaking of which, your ghost place is really remote. I walked for a long time and couldn't even see anyone." Gu Dong didn't pay much attention to what the other party said at first, but when he heard that After a day's journey, he couldn't help but be startled: "Hurrying? Do you know I'm here?"

"yes……"

Su Jiuyue picked up a chicken leg and ate it without any elegance: "Whenever I find out about a family named Gu, I will investigate. When I heard your name from a nearby town, I That one kept coming and rushed over."

"It's non-stop..."

Gu Dong rolled his eyes at the other party, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken, and asked curiously:
"You came here this time... just to say sorry to Gu Xia? Because of this apology, you have been looking for his reincarnation for so long?"

"Yes, or not."

Su Jiuyue's words were a little unclear, and she didn't know whether it was because she was busy eating the chicken drumsticks, or because she wanted to hide something.

When Gu Dong was about to take off his chopsticks again, he paused and sighed inexplicably:

"It's a pity that at this time, there is no wine."

"You drink? But why is there no alcohol here?"

Su Jiuyue muttered while gnawing on the chicken legs.

"When someone comes to visit, they should drink some wine. There is no wine because we are relatively poor here. The only food we have is not enough, and it is impossible to use it to make wine casually. It is too wasteful."

While Gu Dong was explaining, he suddenly noticed that Su Jiuyue's expression was a little strange. He thought the other party was choking, so he couldn't help but ask:
"what happened?"

"Hey, when you said that, I remembered that I had wine on me!"

After saying that, Su Jiuyue casually wiped her hands on the table, wiped off some oil, and then untied a wine gourd hanging from her waist.

Gu Dong glanced at the wine gourd and asked:
"This is……"

"It's a good thing. I borrowed it from the warehouse of a wealthy family in a big city!"

"borrow?"

Thinking of Su Jiuyue's identity, the corners of Gu Dong's mouth twitched:

"Are you really borrowing? Not stealing?"

"Don't say it so harshly~ I borrowed it~"

"You have borrowed and repaid, so how are you going to pay it back?"

This sentence blocked Su Jiuyue's mouth.

She was silent for a long time, really not knowing how to answer. In the end, she could only say haha ​​and handed the wine gourd to Gu Dong's hand:
"Don't worry about so many small details~ Come on, come and try it."

"This……"

Looking at the bottle mouth of the wine gourd, Gu Dong hesitated, not knowing whether the other party had ever used this wine gourd before, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should take a drink.

Seeing him hesitating, Su Jiuyue seemed to realize something. Her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly pulled a stone cup from the table over and filled him with wine——

"You, try it quickly."

Seeing that he was using the tea cup on the table, Gu Dong took it up with confidence and drank it in one gulp.

"It's really a good wine!" he exclaimed.

thump—

The next second, Gu Dong was lying on the table, motionless.

"..."

Su Jiuyue was stunned.

She smelled her wine gourd, then looked at Gu Dong, who was pouring a gulp of wine in front of her, and muttered:

"What kind of wine is this... Although I have never drunk it... why did I pour it in one sip?"

"This... is not wine... it is Ma Fei powder..."

After Gu Dong said this, he fell completely unconscious.
