After finishing the bowl of hot tea, Gu Xuan let out a sigh of relief, suddenly pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and spoke slowly: "I remember clearly that the people who run this tea house are definitely not you and me."

The young man in gray clothes fastened his horse's rope and was walking from the side. He couldn't help but stopped and shouted: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, please don't use your sword."

The middle-aged man looked stern, but did not panic. His eyes became sharp and his muscles tightened. He calmly asked: "Is it possible that the guest knows Gu Ren?"

Gu Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party knew his father. He immediately took back his right hand and picked up the pot to pour tea.

The young man in gray breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood beside the middle-aged man, staring at Gu Xuan warily.

Gu Xuan put down the teapot, looked at the middle-aged man, and said expressionlessly: "Gu Ren is my cousin-in-law."

The middle-aged man was no longer wary and smiled slightly: "It turns out that the guest guest is a distant relative of Gu Ren. I am in Xia Guping. This is Quanzi Gu'an. They were all Gu Ren's neighbors in Gujia Village in his early years."

Gu Ren's parents died young and he had no brothers or sisters. Although Gu Xuan knew about Gujia Village, he had never been there, let alone Gu Ping and his son.

Gu Xuan could tell that Gu Ping was proficient in fists and feet, and was powerful in martial arts. The momentum he just displayed was indeed like that of a hunter.

After taking a sip of tea, Gu Xuan asked knowingly: "Brother, do you know the current situation of Gu Ren and his son?"

Gu Ping sighed softly: "I was originally here to visit Gu Ren, but I didn't see anyone. Various traces show that Gu Ren may be no longer alive."

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "In the past few years, I have been practicing martial arts. I wonder when will brother come to the tea house?"

Gu Ping secretly calculated: "Nearly half a year ago, the tea house was not locked at that time, the food had already become moldy, and there were hoes and tea sets on Gumu Cliff. Gu Ren might have fallen off the cliff, or...been harmed by someone."

"How can I see it?"

Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Gu Ping mentioned Gumu Cliff. He wondered if he had been to the wall cave.

Then I thought, if Gu Ping got Wang Mang's storage bag, he probably wouldn't and wouldn't dare to stay here.

Gu Ping explained: "The hoe and tea set were placed on the edge of the cliff. The cliff was too steep, so we only descended a short distance and saw traces of sharp blades on the stone wall."

Gu Xuan's eyes flashed, showing a bit of sadness: "It seems that my cousin did encounter something unexpected."

Gu Ping further explained: "Six months ago, a plague broke out in Gujia Village, and most of the villagers died. Those who survived abandoned the village one after another. I thought about it again and again, and simply came to seek refuge.

Ben Guren.”

Gu Xuan chuckled: "Brother, don't worry. I came here today just to drink the dust-cleansing tea. Since my cousin is no longer alive, I hope that brother can continue to run the tea house."

Gu Ping smiled bitterly: "Besides hunting ordinary wild beasts, I don't know how to do anything else. It's a blessing to be able to live here. What do you call me, brother?"

"My surname is Huang and my name is Ye."

Gu Xuan's name is related to his father's feud and cannot be revealed yet.

"It turns out to be Brother Huang." Gu Ping cupped his hand, "I was lucky enough to save your cousin's life back then."

"Oh?" Gu Xuan's expression changed, and he was very interested, "Brother Gu, can you explain it in detail?"

"Of course. An'er, go get another pot of dust-cleaning tea."

Gu Ping gave an order, and when he saw Gu An turning around and leaving, he started to tell.

"I and Gu Ren were in their prime of life when they were hunting. They happened upon a group of thugs who attempted to invade Xiaoli, so they became angry and took action. They eventually killed the thugs. I was stabbed twice in the arm, and Gu Ren's right hamstring was severed."

Gu Xuan didn't know much about his mother's past, so he listened very carefully and refused to miss a word.

Seeing Gu Ping pause, Gu Xuan nodded and said: "My cousin is indeed lame. It turns out that it was caused by the hero saving the beauty."

"Xiao Li claims to be a maid of a rich family's daughter. Because the dandy young master offended the samurai, the rich master dismissed all his servants because he was worried about being exterminated."

Gu Anti came to wash the dust and tea, and simply sat aside and listened.

"My stab wound is not serious, but Gu Ren is walking abnormally. Out of gratitude and guilt, Xiaoli is willing to marry Gu Ren, provided that Gu Ren goes to settle down in Guzhou with her."

Gu Xuan didn't know whether Kuangzhou was his mother's hometown, so he didn't reply hastily and just asked: "What happened next?"

"Gu Ren has difficulty walking, and Xiao Li is a weak woman. We escorted them all the way to Kuangzhou. Xiao Li brought a lot of valuables with him and bought a house in Fufeng City."

Seeing Gu Xuan's dissatisfied look, Gu Ping smiled.

"Gu Ren later found a job in a teahouse and gave birth to a son. However, his health became increasingly weak. He spent all his savings and even sold his house, but he was still unable to recover."

Gu Xuan looked sad: "Since my cousin was buried in Pingshan, my cousin built a tea house here."

Gu Ping's voice was complex: "Take care of Xiaoli's funeral, build a teahouse, and stay in Xiadu

Be present.”

Gu Xuan had doubts in his heart and found a temporary excuse: "Due to the decline of my family, I lost contact with my relatives. Ever since I met my cousin's tombstone and learned about Gu Ren's existence, I often come to the tea house. Why have I never seen Brother Gu?

?”

When Gu Ping heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. After a long while, he said: "Gujia Village is in Luzhou, and it's a long way away..."

Gu An looked strange and quickly exposed the truth: "Nonsense, it was obviously my father who liked Xiaoli back then and thought Gu Ren was not good enough for Xiaoli. He always regarded Pingshan as a sad place."

Gu Ping's face was slightly red, and he couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Asshole, when adults are talking, why are children interrupting!"

Gu Xuan looked amused and said with a smile: "Everyone has a love for beauty. If Brother Gu likes my cousin, it's too late for me to be happy."

"I did have a love for beauty back then, but I never had any negative thoughts."

Gu Ping then returned to his normal state and glared at Gu An fiercely.

"You bastard, how do you know what I was thinking back then?"

Gu An's eyes darkened: "On the night of my mother's burial, my father and third uncle got very drunk and talked a lot of nonsense. The child heard them all."

Gu Ping took a long breath and touched Gu An's head: "Your mother is not here, but your father is here. Our father and son depend on each other, and the sky will not fall."

Wang Mang suddenly suggested: "As far as refining the heart is concerned, Gu Ping saved your mother, and this kindness must be repaid. The tea house adds to the sadness, so it might as well be destroyed. As for the hometown of my parents, a tomb is enough."

Gu Xuan thought for a while, took out three gold leaves and placed them on the table.

Gu Ping was slightly startled: "Brother Huang, this..."

Gu Xuan said solemnly: "To be honest, I have many enemies. The accident that happened to my cousin-in-law was mostly caused by my enemies. If Brother Gu is put in danger, how can I feel at ease?"

Gu Ping knew that Gu Xuan was repaying his kindness, and when he saw the shining golden leaves, he would be deceiving himself if he said he was not moved.

Gu Xuan continued: "I have been to Fufeng City before. The teahouse where my cousin was employed was intended to be transferred. If Brother Gu has no place to go, he can take over this teahouse and I will destroy the teahouse."

Gu Ping opened his mouth, and finally smiled bitterly: "Even if you buy a teahouse, you don't need three gold leaves."

Gu Xuandao: "I have a lot of gold leaves, and I'm not short of money. Please don't refuse, Brother Gu."
