At the nest of the mountain, Ning Qi looked at He Ming, who was facing the sunset and facing the sunset, and asked, "What's that matter?"

He Ming shrugged, thinking that he didn't know what was going on. But he refused to admit it and joked: "I'm afraid it's a pledge like joining hands with old hands."

Ning Qi blinked his narrow eyes slightly, glanced at He Ming, and said, "You forgot what Gu Xi just said? She just distanced us from him."

He Ming turned to the trenches and castle that were destroyed by Gu Xi and said aloud: "Do you really listen to her and ignore her in the future? Even if this place is destroyed, will it really break the friendship between me and her in the past?"

Ning Qi raised his hands behind his back, looked up at the clouds like burning in the sky, and smiled, saying, "We have had a disagreement for a long time, but the elders have never stopped us from getting along in private. It was like that in the past, and it will definitely be like that in the future."

"You are different. Don't forget that your surname is Ning." He Ming poured Ning Qi a basin of cold water on his head.

Ning Qi pursed his lips tightly, looked at He Ming who was restoring the castle, and said firmly: "Same, as long as the Gu family makes a comeback, our two families can still get along with each other."

These words seemed to be persuading He Ming, but in fact they were more like persuading him.

He Ming laughed and shook his head, not paying attention to Ning Qi anymore. He thought about the original appearance of the castle and found that he had no impression of him at all.

Let’s talk about Gu Xi who rushed down the mountain and returned to Mr. Chang’s yard, he was taken back to the hustle and fierce Gu Xu.

The grass house is located in the northeast corner of the academy, and is separated from the dormitory of the academy gentlemen.

This grapefruit forest was originally the Gu family's industry, and all the grapefruit trees were planted by the Gu family's people from generation to generation.

But now this grapefruit forest belongs to the academy.

Gu Xi was carried through the grapefruit forest by Gu Xu, thinking that this family method would be heavier than ever before. She regretted it a little, but was not afraid.

She regretted not considering Gu You, which made Gu You frightened and sick. So there was no objection to the subsequent punishment.

Gu Xu didn't say a word along the way, and did not explain his youngest son and grandparents' inquiries. He threw Gu Xi into the house where the ancestral tablets were placed, picked up the rattan on the spiritual platform and sucked it.

This vine is changed every two years, which is tough enough. This time Gu Xu really showed no mercy. He whipped Gu Xishi with ten whips and drew blood marks on her back before he stopped.

After stopping, he ordered Gu Xi to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet to admit his mistake.

"Think about your identity, think about the situation of the Gu family, and think about the stupid things you did today. After you figure it out, just beg for mercy with your ancestors." Gu Xu finally spoke.

The two ancestors of the Gu family who were waiting outside the door, as well as Gu Xu's youngest son Gu Sheng, were determined to plead for Gu Xi, but looking at Gu Xu's dark face, they couldn't speak.

The old man of the Gu family asked Gu Xu with a crutch: "What trouble did that girl cause again? Could it be that he pulled out all the rice in the five acres of fields?"

Gu Xu was lucky, softened his face, and then walked forward and helped the two old men walk into the main hall. As he walked, he said, "She beat the eldest son of Governor Chang's family today, which caused You'er to get sick. She is still unconscious."

The old lady of the Gu family quickly asked what was going on.

"The grandson didn't have time to inquire. He only heard the scholars say that it was all caused by Gu Xi's girl who beat Mr. Chang." Gu Xu then realized that he had never asked the reason for the matter. "Grandfather and grandmother also knew that Gu Xi's girl was not smart enough to do things. Even if she asked the reason clearly, it must be her fault."

The old lady felt sorry for the younger generation after all, and sighed and asked Gu Xu to check it out first.

"Although we Gu Xi was a little impulsive, we would not beat people for no reason. Although we are now low-minded, we cannot let others be wronged and bullied." The old lady advised.

The old man glared at Gu Xu and said, "She is still a child, she has been like that since she was a child, and she has no bad intentions. I think you should ask first what happened. We will punish the child after we figure it out."

The old man felt so sad. He had no choice but to lose money to his descendants when the Gu family ended up in this situation.

But Gu Xu insisted that Gu Xi kneel down and said, "I punished her because she is the eldest sister, but she cannot take good care of her younger brother, and she almost died. Grandpa and grandmother should not talk to her. Don't worry, grandson will ask clearly what's going on."

After Gu Xu finished speaking, he turned around and left. Gu Sheng chased Gu Xu to the door, and saw Gu Xu disappearing into the grapefruit forest before he went to Gu Xi's place happily.

His short body was tightly pressed against the door frame, and he poked his head out to look at Gu Xi who was kneeling straight, and whispered: "Sister, do you feel pain? I'll go to my ancestors to ask for medicine now, wait."

Gu Xi did not look back, but smiled comfortably and explained to Gu Sheng loudly: "Sister is very good. You should take good care of the two ancestors. Don't forget that this is a task assigned to you by your parents, so that you can take good care of the two ancestors."

When Gu Sheng heard this, he felt that the burden on him was a little heavy, so he immediately asked Gu Xi to endure it first. However, he went back to take care of the two old men with great responsibility.

In the evening, everyone from the Gu family came back and found out the causes and consequences of the matter, and even said nothing about Gu Xi.

The Gu family's grandmother loved Gu You the most. Without thinking, she stopped Gu Xi's supper. She also stubbornly rejected the two old men's pleading and asked Gu Xi to kneel all night.

Gu Xi has experienced this family law countless times since childhood, and nine out of ten times were caused by Gu You. However, he had almost never been beaten by Jingtiao before, and the longest kneeling time was less than two hours, but he still knelt on the mat.

But this time, Gu Xi knelt on the cold and hard ground, touching his belly that had been empty for a day, enduring the scorching pain behind him, and always felt that the room was full of wind and torment.

At some point, Gu Xi felt that her knees were no longer hers, and there were suddenly more people in the room.

With that person, there was also the fragrance of fresh wheat steamed buns and roast chicken.

"I knew you would be here." He Ming threw a futon wrapped in a layer of cotton mat to Gu Xi, took out a fire note and lit the candle on the spiritual platform.

Gu Xi always felt like he had a dream in a trance, dreaming that He Ming, the annoying ghost, actually touched the Gu family's ancestral hall in the middle of the night.

"It's really a ghost, I won't even let go of my dreams. He Ming, get out of our Gu family's ancestral hall. You dare to come in without looking at what place it is." Gu Xi muttered in confusion.

He Ming felt something was wrong, so he squatted down and reached out to explore Gu Xi's forehead. Then he found that Gu Xi was just sleepy and confused.

He asked softly, "How long have you been kneeling?" He always felt heartbroken and a little weird.
