Face Blind Self Help Guide

Chapter 5

Gu Changyi pounded glutinous rice into a paste, cut a little hair, and carefully made a big beard. He also found a set of ordinary men's clothing hidden deep in the original owner's cabinet.

On the day of drilling the dog hole, the wind was sunny, and he listened with his ear against the wall for a while to make sure that there were no footsteps approaching. Then he got out of the dog hole, covered the hole with a branch, and rushed to the city gate.

Two hidden guards jumped into the courtyard, helped Gu Changyi clean up the dog hole, and followed.

"Miss Gu's men's clothes are also decent."

"really."

Gu Changyi wanted to take the waterway to do business in a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, so he went to the wharf at the south gate.

It may be that he came at an unlucky time. It was almost dusk, and there were almost no passenger ships at the pier, and they all docked for supplies overnight.

The hidden guards were worried for him, and after discussing it, they assigned a person to manage the passenger ship, and spent money to persuade the boatman to set off immediately.

Gu Changyi paced back and forth. He couldn't stay for too long to avoid attracting attention. Since the waterway is impassable, he should go by land.

He headed up the slope of the pier, and suddenly two young men walked up to him, dressed as a master and a servant, both of them carrying baggage.

Gu Changyi stopped in his tracks, and the passenger ship didn't leave. Do these two people have other ideas?

He squinted his eyes and saw a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat got up from a small wonton stand, walked to the water's edge in two steps, untied an empty boat, and called the two people to board: "Come on!"

It turned out to be a privately chartered boat with a small canopy and could only accommodate three or four people.

Gu Changyi followed in a rustle, and discussed with the one with the stronger aura among the three, "My lord, can we fight for a boat?"

He made up a story on the spot: "At noon, my mother wrote a letter, saying that my father was running out of time, and I was in a hurry to go back, just as the passenger ship was closed. If I hadn't been so anxious, I would never have offended you like this..."

The young man was taken aback when he heard the sound, and stepped down from the boat, taking a step closer: "Long clothes?"

"..."

Gu Changyi suddenly stopped selling miserably, what the fuck is this guy?

He squinted his eyes, trying to align himself with the faces in his memory.

In the end, I felt vaguely, like one of the spare tires.

He is face-blind and really can't recognize which spare tire.

Youth: "Aren't you going to marry into the Marquis Mansion?"

Gu Changyi's marriage has already spread in the capital. Some people bet on when he will die, and some people comment on whether a fool can find out that he is cuckolded, saying that they are a perfect match.

Gu Changyi squeezed out two tears: "My father forced me, I don't want to."

"You really don't want to?"

"Ah."

Assisting women to escape from marriage is easily labeled as elopement, and young people have just started their official careers, so there is really no need to take risks.But the young man thought of those days when Gu Changyi talked with him, if such a free and unrestrained woman married a fool and wasted the rest of her life, the young man couldn't bear it, and said: "I am going to Jiangzhou to take up a post, and I will take you along."

As soon as he mentioned going to office, Gu Changyi immediately picked up the number in his mind.

Spare tire No. [-], Mu Xingwen, a young official.The original owner's personality in front of him was "hate not being a man, take part in the imperial examination, and plead for the people".

When the imperial examinations were released, the original owner caught a spare tire at the bottom of the list.Mu Xingwen has ideals and ambitions, and has no power to resist people like the original owner, so he is regarded as a confidant.

Gu Changyi: "Thank you, Brother Mu!"

The young man waved his hand: "Officials plead for the people, and women are also people."

Gu Changyi got into the canopy and sat down, drew the straw curtains, thinking that the people the original owner hooked up with were not bad, no wonder the car wouldn't overturn.

Mu Xingwen was going to Jiangzhou, so he simply went to Jiangzhou to help him improve his political performance in return for saving his life.

Seeing Gu Changyi sitting inside, Mu Xingwen sat on the bow of the boat to avoid suspicion. The boatman shook it away, and the boat left the shore and disappeared from sight.

Two dark guards: "..."

"Do you still need to follow?"

"...No need."

The two of them gave up completely, the second lady and the master really had no fate.

The Gu family in the city discovered that the second lady was missing, and immediately reported it to the master, and sent people to search for it with all their strength.

The hidden guard was inside to mess up the holiday news, saying that he saw a horseman running to the west, and arranged for a female hidden guard to pretend to be Gu Changyi, and lead the guards of Gu's family to run around the city.

Gu Weichang went mad with anger, and scolded Luo Fengying for not being able to manage the rear house, ashamed of his trust in him all these years.

It was the first time Luo Fengying was pointed at the nose by Gu Weichang, and she wanted to strangle Gu Changyi to death in her heart, but she had to smile apologetically: "The most urgent thing is how to explain to the Hou Mansion, Gu Changyi is a white-eyed wolf..."

"Master! Master, the Hou Mansion has sent someone!"

"What——" Gu Weichang's face turned pale, it's over, his official career may stop here.

Lord Hou came as a butler, but his attitude was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Your Majesty knows about Miss Gu. Our Master Hou is kind-hearted and likes this daughter-in-law very much. He specially sent me to discuss it with you—in this way, we will say that Miss Er is seriously ill and postpone the marriage. Miss, we will get married soon."

The housekeeper smiled and said: "In the capital, no one dares to play with the Marquis of Taiping like this."

The implication is that if Gu Weichang can't find his daughter, the whole family will get out of the capital together.

Gu Weichang touched the sweat on his forehead: "I will definitely find it, please rest assured, Lord Hou."

The butler clapped his hands, and the boy came in leading a wolf dog, "General Sirius of the city defense battalion, he can recognize smell and chase thousands of miles, I hope it can help Mr. Gu."

Stared at by its dark green eyes, Luo Fengying was so frightened that she hid behind Gu Weichang.

Butler: "Master Gu, please take a piece of Miss Er's clothes and give it to General Sirius to smell it."

Gu Weichang hesitated: "Uh..."

The housekeeper's expression changed: "What?"

Luo Fengying explained in a low voice: "The long clothes took all the clothes away."

None left.

The housekeeper secretly scolded the unscrupulous couple, if they were replaced by daughters of any family, they might not be able to take away a tenth of the clothes in the closet.

Gu Weichang noticed the housekeeper's contempt, and immediately transferred his anger to Luo Fengying: "Look at what you've done!"

Luo Fengying: "..."

Butler: "That's all, that's all, take General Sirius to the second lady's boudoir."

After the butler left, Gu Weichang was a little depressed: "Why do you think the Hou's mansion is so fond of long clothes?"

Logically speaking, after the gossip and escaped marriage scandal, Marquis Taiping should not be willing to accept Gu Changyi anymore.

Luo Fengying gritted her silver teeth: "Look at her fate."

She really hates Si Gu Changyi, she looks better than her two daughters, she has red lips and white teeth, and she grew up eating something secretly.

Luo Fengying wanted to show Gu Changyi's face a few times, but he ran away.

Now he still seduces Taiping Hou with this face!

In Luo Fengying's heart, all "fate" was casually said, and she was sure that Marquis Taiping used his son's name to take a concubine for herself.

After all, what would a fool know.

Otherwise, she couldn't figure out why Taiping Hou insisted on marrying Gu Changyi.

Of course, she never mentioned this idea to Gu Weichang, she didn't know if Gu Weichang could think of it, but all this is not important anymore, Gu Changyi has to marry anyway.

Luo Fengying summoned a servant and whispered something to him, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

……

Gu Changyi followed Mu Xingwen all the way to Jiangzhou. The journey took eight days, and when they arrived at the pier, Gu Changyi parted ways with Mu Xingwen.

Mu Xingwen failed to persuade him to stay, so he gave him some money: "Take good care of yourself, and come to me if you have anything."

Gu Changyi thought about it, and he was really short of money at the beginning of his business, so he didn't refuse: "Just treat it as I borrowed it, and I will definitely pay it back in the future."

Mu Xingwen: "No, no, you haven't paid it back before."

Gu Changyi: "..."

Mu Xingwen: I accidentally told the truth.

Gu Changyi scratched his head, remembering something about the original owner.The original owner complained to Mu Xingwen that as a woman, she had no ambitions and had no chance to receive a man's education. Mu Xingwen was very sympathetic and gave the original owner a lot of money to buy books.

Ancient books are not cheap.

The original owner did not refuse the money from the spare tires, and the book was not bought, and it was quickly spent.

The memory left by the original owner is incomplete, only some important events, like how much money he took from each spare tire, are all trivialities blown away by the wind.

Gu Changyi couldn't tell how much it was, so he ground his toes in embarrassment: "I will pay it back."

Mu Xingwen smiled without saying a word.

"I am leaving."

Gu Changyi didn't want to get too close to Mu Xingwen, so as not to implicate him, so he hurried to another place along the official road.

An hour later.

Gu Changyi was drenched in water.

There was heavy rain, lightning and thunder, and he happened to be in a forest. Afraid of being struck by lightning, he looked around for ruined temples on the mountain.

After running wildly for a quarter of an hour, Gu Changyi finally saw an earthen house with dilapidated doors and windows, which looked like an abandoned house of a forester.

Gu Changyi pushed open the door and entered, took a branch to roll away the cobwebs in the house, and took a set of clean clothes from Boundless Realm to change into.

Only women's clothing, hey.

He wiped the kang with his wet clothes as a rag, threw the rag into Wuyajie, touched a meat bag and came out.

When will this rain stop?

In the barren hills and old forests, Gu Changyi was a little scared, especially when looking out of the small window, it was facing a lonely grave.

Looking back with difficulty, Gu Changyi took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun.

Gu Changyi began to reflect, he should stay in the state capital, earn some money first, and recruit two young men to go on the road together.

I miss the capital a little bit, a place with strong dragon spirit is better than lonely graves and wild ghosts.

A black shadow suddenly rushed in, the speed was so fast that only the afterimage was left, wrapped in a cold yin energy.

"Ah!" Gu Changyi was so frightened that the buns dropped!

Really ghosts!

Young people in the 21st century must not be defeated by ghosts and gods. Gu Changyi closed his eyes, grabbed a branch beside him, and stabbed at the shadow.

I've already died once, so I'm afraid of you!

Shen Hom dodged for a moment, snatched the branch from Gu Changyi's hand, and threw it outside.

Gu Changyi suddenly touched the warm back of the opponent's hand, and instantly woke up from the frightened state, and subconsciously held his hand, it was really a living person.

Shen Hom wanted to pull out his hand, but was held tightly.

frivolous!

Shen Hom thought to himself, it took him three days to learn that his father had sent a wolf dog to chase after Gu Changyi. Shen Hom had fought against it. The dog had a sharp nose and a fierce nature. When it found its prey in a bad mood, it would pounce on it and choke its throat.

After all, Gu Changyi escaped because of his marriage. He was afraid that Gu Changyi would not be able to handle it, so he came to escort him himself.It was too easy to find Gu Changyi. The dark guard said that she followed Mu Xingwen to leave by boat, and then got Gu Changyi's direction out of Mu Xingwen's mouth, and found it in no time.

Shen Hom made a disguise on his face, not afraid of being recognized: "Let go."

Gu Changyi put down the branch, "I'm sorry, I thought you were a ghost."

He bent down to pick up half of the bun on the ground, blew it, and threw it into Wuyajie by putting it in his pocket, so he could feed it to the dog after he couldn't eat it.

Shen Hom sat on the other side without saying a word.

Gu Changyi noticed that this person was very indifferent, and he didn't want to embarrass himself, so he sat cross-legged on the kang quietly.

There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and Gu Changyi was bitten several times when he was changing clothes, and he couldn't scratch the itchy spots through the clothes.

He simply rolled up his trouser legs and scratched the side of his knee unbearably, wishing he could bleed.

Shen Hom on the side: "..."

The slender and well-proportioned ankles are like shining pearls in the dim earthen house.

Gu Changyi happened to be wearing the red dress by the lake, and a familiar scene suddenly appeared in front of Shen Hom.

Shen Hom folded his arms and looked out of the window, mercilessly threatening: "There was someone running away from the marriage in the capital, and the family brought nineteen wolf dogs to chase them, and they salivated when they smelled meat along the way. , eat the meat bun, or throw it away, don’t take it with you.”

"Nineteen, nine...?"

"Ah."

Gu Changyi didn't care to scratch anymore, put down his skirt, sat holding his ankles, his face was serious.

Shen Hom: "Just don't bring meat buns with you when you go out."

Shen Hom is not a lie, in the wilderness, Gu Changyi left this meat bun alone, the smell might attract some kind of beast.

Gu Changyi wants to cry but has no tears, is that about the meat buns!

I'm the fucking meat bun!

With such a sharp nose, can he still escape?No, he has to go far away immediately.

Gu Changyi hurriedly remembered the ghostly figure of this person. Could this be the legendary super lightness skill?

"He reminded me not to bring meat buns just now. He shouldn't be a bad person. If he is willing to help take a ride..." Gu Changyi's mind was spinning, and he looked at Shen Hom like a living Bodhisattva.

"Brother, what's your name?"

Shen Hom: "Li."

Gu Changyi immediately burst into tears, hugging Shen Hom's thigh and weeping: "My fiancé, who is also surnamed Li, has been away to earn a living for two years. The day before yesterday, my partner wrote to say that he was bitten by a dog and developed rabies. If I can't make it to Hangzhou, I won't see you for the last time..."

Shen Hom: "..."
