Correct Posture For Redemption - Chapter 19
After Gu Miru was hugged by Si Xianchun, she was stunned for a moment.
Si Xianchun has always avoided physical contact with others. Even for training walking, he always holds hands with Gu Miru, just because he can’t stand up.
In addition, the only time Si Xianchun took the initiative to physically contact with Gu Miru was yesterday afternoon, when Si Xianchun took the initiative to pat Gu Miru on the shoulder and discussed with her about letting his sister come.
Are you frightened by being so proactive at this moment?
Gu Miru couldn’t tell for a while whether Si Xianchun was frightened by the nightmare or the sound of firecrackers outside.
She patted Si Xianchun on the back, and said softly, “Why did you come out without wearing shoes? Hurry up to the bed with me.”
Gu Miru took Si Xianchun to the edge of the bed and asked him to sit down on the edge of the bed. Then she found a cloth towel and passed it in the water, ready to wipe Si Xianchun’s feet.
But Si Xianchun didn’t let her do it, he was already awake for a while. Recalling what he did just now, even his neck was pink. Fortunately, there was only a dim light in the room, and it was still a little far from the bedside, so he couldn’t see any change in his complexion.
Si Xianchun took the towel from Gu Miru’s hand, lowered his head and wiped his feet, then grabbed the towel and raised his head to look at Gu Miru.
He put himself into a dilemma, and now if he goes back, he has to go back barefoot again.
He threw the crutches at the door, and Si Xianchun realized that the ground was too cold, cold to the bone marrow, and he was really afraid of the cold.
And if he wants to go back, he can’t go back by himself. He can walk a few steps without a cane now, but falls easily.
If Gu Miru was to support him… Si Xianchun couldn’t say it.
He came here in the middle of the night to confirm that Gu Miru was still normal.
Now that it’s confirmed… what is he going to do? What else to say?
Si Xianchun didn’t even know what he was doing, and why did he do it.
Fortunately, Gu Miru didn’t expect him to be able to explain clearly what she was doing, so she took the foot towel, wetted another towel, and handed it to him to wipe his hands.
After finishing it, he pushed Si Xianchun’s shoulder directly and said, “Have a nightmare, go inside.”
“…where to?”
Gu Miru chuckled lightly, pointed to the inside of the bed and said, “Go there.”
“Today is the New Year’s Day, and the firecrackers will be set off for a while to celebrate the good weather for a year.” After Gu Miru woke up, she found the reason why the firecrackers were suddenly set off today from her memory.
She said to Si Xianchun, “You may not know that because you don’t farm, you grew up in the back house, and you haven’t been exposed to this.”
“Let’s sleep together today, you go to sleep inside, and I’ll go to your house and bring the quilt over.”
It was rare for Si Xianchun to be brave once, and took the initiative to come to her, and so actively “fell in his arms”.
This was a very big breakthrough. Although Gu Miru couldn’t understand Si Xianchun’s psychological barrier, it was obviously not easy to ask the abuser for help. He was cold all over, his lips were blue, and he didn’t know how long he had been wandering at the door just now.
However, after Gu Mi made the following decision, she did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, she watched Si Xianchun pursed her lips and asked him slightly, “What do you think?”
She threw her choice back to Si Xianchun: “Did you come to me simply to take a look at me, or do you plan to sleep with me?”
Gu Miru asked Si Xianchun in a calm voice. On such a night, her voice was especially low and pleasant, which made people feel at ease.
Si Xianchun didn’t speak right away, he was still not used to making choices.
Gu Miru often threw him this kind of selective question, and every time he thought about it for a long time, he would only answer it carefully and cautiously.
He didn’t answer, Gu Miru held his calf and slipped him into the bed, and then covered his feet with the quilt.
Only then did Si Xianchun feel that he was cold. Wearing this thin suit of clothes, he tossed around from the outside, and he was barefoot again. As soon as he covered the quilt, he bumped into Mrs. Tang inside the quilt, and he hugged the quilt and beat him. A chill.
Seeing him bowing her head and not speaking, Gu Miru asked again, “Or did you just come over to arrest me or go out to sleep with someone else?”
One of Si Xianchun’s ears moved, and it looked more like a rabbit. Although it wasn’t as long as a rabbit, Gu Miru could see that it was pink.
Gu Miru said, “Now you see it.”
Gu Miru asked Si Xianchun in another way: “So are you going to stay and watch me, or go back and wait until the next time to raid and catch me?”
“Look or go back?” Gu Miru tugged at Si Xianchun’s quilt.
Si Xianchun answered Gu Miru with action, he got into Gu Miru’s quilt directly, then rolled himself up, and quickly turned into the bed, turning into a slender strip.
Gu Miru’s quilt in this room was a dark quilt, and Si Xianchun wrapped herself so tightly that a bunch of white hair was left out, which looked like a fine brush.
Gu Miru hooked her lips and smiled, but she was actually surprised that he wanted to stay.
What kind of nightmare did he have that scared him like this? Or is Si Xianchun afraid of the sound of firecrackers?
Gu Miru turned around and went to Si Xianchun’s room to get the quilt, shook it off, put it on the bed, and went to the stove to set the charcoal fire.
She has been moving back and forth in the house, drinking water for a while, and cutting the wick with scissors.
Gu Miru did it very slowly, time seemed to freeze in her hands, the hourglass on the table was flowing slowly, and there was an indescribable rustling sound.
After Gu Miru tossed about the trivial matters in the room, she went back to the bed and sat down, and heard Si Xianchun’s gentle breathing.
He fell asleep.
He was used to Gu Miru tossing in the house every night, just like he was used to the cold in that broken room.
It’s just that compared to the months it took Si Xianchun to endure the pain and cold, it took Si Xianchun less than a month to get used to being in a comfortable environment with another person’s voice accompanying him to sleep. .
So he really came to sleep with him?
The system said in Gu Miru’s head: [The proper fishing system has not run away. 】
Gu Miru also took off her shoes and went to bed, and the quilt she took from Si Xianchun had already been warmed by Mrs. Tang.
After Gu Miru lay down, the sound of firecrackers outside was still very lively. The cold wind of the twelfth lunar month was blowing against the window sash, but he couldn’t get into this room, which was shrouded in charcoal fire.
The two people who slept side by side on the bed all turned their heads inward. They had nothing to do with love, and they didn’t appear to be very close, but they were very harmonious.
Like two fine brushes.
The next morning, Gu Miru still got up very early. She liked the feeling of getting up early and didn’t have the habit of staying in bed.
On the first day of February, when the sky was still bright in the morning, firecrackers sparsely sounded in the distance.
This time, Si Xianchun was not woken up. He slept very deeply. Because the quilt was so tightly rolled, he even slept in a sweat.
After Gu Miru got up, she added a little more charcoal fire. After she had washed up, she went outside and punched under the plum blossom tree.
It’s not a well-known boxing, Gu Miru has forgotten which world he learned it in, anyway, the moves are very wide-ranging.
Chenfeng took the petals on the plum tree like a pair of ambiguous hands, and kept stroking towards Gu Miru’s body. Gu Miru was wearing a white dress and long hair, and she flew between moves, like a fairy falling into the world.
The people had just woken up in the early morning. Gu Miru finished before they came out. After a set of punches in the morning of this cold winter and twelfth lunar month, Gu Miru’s body was sweating a little.
Gu Miru was thinking about changing where she lived, and when the weather was a little warmer, she would have to buy herself a few more sets of weapons and get a small martial arts arena.
Find another suitable opportunity, find a master who teaches martial arts to hide people’s eyes and ears, and then you can justifiably get up in the morning and dance with guns.
For breakfast, Gu Mi was still in the kitchen. After the servants got up, they prepared firewood and even prepared the ingredients for today. Just waiting for Gu Miru’s wonderful hands to put the ingredients into the pot herself, and there is no extra material, the taste will always be very good.
When eating breakfast in the early morning, Gu Miru moved things to Si Xianchun’s room, and when she returned to her room, she found that Si Xianchun had already got up.
And he didn’t know when he went to the door and picked up the crutches.
Gu Miru glanced at him and began to wonder, did he climb again?
But now he only has a middle coat on his body, and he looks quite clean…
“It’s cold outside. I’ve already brought the food to your house. Otherwise, you’ll have to put on a quilt. Anyway, it’s just a few steps away…”
“Si Xianchun had some hesitation on his face, Gu Miru couldn’t help but wrap him with a quilt, then supported him with one hand and dragged him up.”
The two returned to Si Xianchun’s house, and then Si Xianchun slowly went to wash with a cane.
Gu Miru set up the bowls and chopsticks and waited for him. The food on the table was fastened together with large bowls to keep the temperature.
Gu Miru stood by the window and pushed the window a little to look outside. The sun today is particularly good.
Today, she has to go around the shop in the east of the city, and it will be the time to hand over the house soon. It is estimated that if she doesn’t show up again, Gu Yuniang and Xu Lincheng may make some trouble.
Si Xianchun washed up, and the two sat at the table to have breakfast. Gu Miru said to Si Xianchun, “I have already asked Zhang Qian and Xu Si to rent a carriage to Xunzhou City, and it is estimated that they will meet at noon. Come back from buying medicine, if your sister happens to be at home, she should come together by car.”
Si Xianchun stopped eating and looked at Gu Miru with undisguised joy in his eyes.
As soon as he gets excited, the circles around his eyes are red, and only a little red, it is hard to find if you don’t look carefully.
Gu Miru smiled and said, “You can have a good chat with your sister, I won’t be back this afternoon.”
She hides away from the two of them so that they can chat, and it is estimated that she will have to speak ill of herself.
Gu Miru felt that she was really wronged. The main system assigned her to this redemption group and let her start like this, isn’t it just to make her wrong to the end.
Although she now makes Si Xianchun live like a person, Gu Miru, who is replaced by the original role, is the root cause of Si Xianchun’s tragedy.
There is no need for the two brothers and sisters to thank her, the “gangster” because the “gangster suddenly gave up killing people”. Gu Miru was not at all curious about what they would talk about.
So it’s best for her to hide.
When Si Xianchun heard Gu Miru say this, she really relaxed a little bit, nodded slowly, and responded to Gu Miru, “Yes.”
This “um” is not easy.
Gu Miru raised her eyebrows.
Most of the time her communication with Si Xianchun was semi-compulsive, either she was talking to herself, or she was guiding her in various ways.
There is only today when we can actively communicate like this and respond.
Today, Si Xianchun wanted to see his sister, and was in a particularly good mood, so he rewarded her with an “um” as a response to the fact that she would not come back in the afternoon.
Gee.
Under this situation, he will definitely recover faster after seeing his sister.
Because of this, Gu Miru is also in a very good mood.
After eating, Gu Miru took out a contract, a contract for renting a house, and handed it to Si Xianchun.
Then he brought the pen and ink and pad, and said to Si Xianchun, “The shop at the east end of the city is yours. Sign it and put your handprint. This contract will be useful to me.”
Si Xianchun was just stunned for a moment, took the contract and glanced at it, signed it without asking anything, and pressed his fingerprints.
Gu Miru couldn’t help teasing him: “Sign it when you see it clearly? What if I asked you to sign a contract of prostitution?”
Si Xianchun’s hands trembled when he heard the words, and he looked down quickly.
However, Gu Miru folded the paper directly and stuffed it into her arms.
He patted the front of the contract and said, “I’ll take the contract first, if you don’t obey in the future…”
Si Xianchun’s expression was very real panic.
Gu Miru said, “If you dare not eat well at night, if you don’t eat enough at night, and if the meat grows too slowly, I will sell you.”
As soon as these words were said, Si Xianchun quickly pursed his lips and glanced at Gu Miru, not looking straight, but with the end of his eyes.
There was a little bit of blame for her playing with him.
Gu Miru is really fresh, such vivid emotions rarely appear on Si Xianchun’s face, which is another big improvement.
Seeing his reaction to this kind of thing, Gu Miru deliberately teased him back and forth for a long time.
After making Si Xianchun’s good-natured temper a bit irritated, he finally couldn’t bear to ask Gu Miru, “Why don’t you leave?”
Only then did Gu Miru achieve her goal. Looking at his vivid brows, she reached out and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, rubbing the center of his wrinkled brows.
Then he smiled and said, “Let’s go.”
After leaving home, he first went to Xu Lancui to meet her, and then gave Xu Lancui the lease signed by Si Xianchun. After Xu Lancui took it, she insisted on giving Gu Miru a lot of money, and said that she didn’t have to pay back what she borrowed before, and it was all a lease.
It was Xu Lancui who must have asked Gu Miru to get it. Originally, Gu Miru planned to give Xu Lancui half of the shop after returning the shop, and keep the half for herself to maintain a livelihood temporarily, and then think of other ways later.
As a result, Xu Lancui was very willing at first, and the longer the two people contacted, the more Xu Lancui liked Gu Miru.
She felt that Gu Miru was down-to-earth and capable, and she was not a frivolous and lewd person at all.
Although Xu Lancui couldn’t figure out how Gu Miru’s bad deeds came from before, but after getting along with her during this period of time, Xu Lancui had completely recognized Gu Miru as a girl.
All her sisters died in those years of fleeing the famine. Now that she has Gu Miru, not only can she help her kill pigs, but they can talk about many things together. Xu Lancui can’t wait to dig out her true heart.
Naturally, he refused to ask Gu Miru’s shop for nothing, and finally decided that Xu Lancui rented half of the shop. If they want to do that kind of formal procedures, they must have Si Xianchun’s signature.
That’s how it came out this morning.
The two sisters got together and went to inspect the shop on the east side of the street.
In the past few days, they have been forced to renovate almost, and those jade and other things have also been moved to the back yard and piled up, and the shop in the front yard has been completely empty.
Because Xu Lincheng failed to see Gu Miru successfully that night, all of his moves could not be used. So for the past two days, I have been struggling with all kinds of solutions.
He actually wanted to be a rogue, and a rotten boat has three pounds of nails. The friends he had made in the casino before can also find out and support the scene when it is critical.
But if only Gu Miru wants the shop alone, that’s fine, find a group of people to scare her, even if the shop goes to her, she won’t be able to do business, and she will be returned sooner or later.
But the pork woman was involved in this matter. The pork woman has a big business, and even the mayor ordered pork at their house. This woman is ruthless and poisonous, and few dare to provoke them. Hu friends and dog friends can’t be bothered.
Pork mother-in-law insisted that Gu Miru had already rented the shop to her, and urged Xu Lincheng to quickly dump the house, saying that she would show him the serious procedures today.
Xu Lincheng held on to the last bit of hope, hoping that Gu Miru would not rent the shop to the pork mother-in-law. Xu Lincheng knew what was going on at Gu Miru’s house. The young master of the Si family might have been tortured to death. How could he sign the contract for renting the house?
As long as the contract was not signed by the young master of the Si family, it would be the same as their previous procedures for transferring the shop and it would be ineffective.
There is still room for relaxation.
But as soon as we met today, Mrs. Pork took out the contract for the leased house. It was written in black and white and actually had the signature of the young master of the Si family.
“Your signature is forged!” Xu Lincheng told Gu Yuniang everything, so after they reviewed the procedures for renting a house, Gu Yuniang pointed directly at Si Xianchun’s signature and said, “This is the name of the young master of the Si family. It must be fake!”
Xu Lincheng did find a few friends today, and those friends were standing behind Gu Yuniang and Xu Lincheng for the sake of cheating him of a lot of money.
Seeing this, he echoed: “That’s right, who doesn’t know that the young master of the Si family is a monster, and he has never learned Chinese characters at all!”
“Whose are the two of you who are farting along? Report the name to my mother and listen to it, and I won’t sell pork to you in the future!”
The Zhang family’s pork shop in Xinyang Town is almost a monopoly. If they don’t sell meat for them to eat… This matter is really big.
They can’t eat a little meat and go to other towns to buy it, right?
Those few people didn’t dare to say a word.
Gu Miru couldn’t hold back her laughter.
She felt that the move to find Xu Lancui was really the right one. Xu Lancui was really able to crush these people from all aspects, and it saved too much trouble.
But this matter can’t be solved by scare, Gu Miru said, “It doesn’t matter, if you don’t believe me, you can come to my house with me. My husband is in good health now, so don’t startle him far away. Look, I can help him out for a spin.”
“As for whether my husband can write… He grew up in the back house, but his mother taught him to write.”
“And it doesn’t matter whether he can write or not. With his handprint on it, the procedure is effective.”
At this point, all the friends that Xu Lincheng brought with him retreated.
But Gu Yuniang gathered her hair, pointed at Gu Miru like a life-saving straw, and said, “Don’t lie to us. After you got married to the young master of the Si family, because you couldn’t marry us, Lin Cheng, With resentment in his heart, he abused the young master of the Si family in every possible way, whether he is still alive or not is the question!”
“Didn’t you say you want to take us to see it, let’s go! I want to see, the young master of the Si family is a human or a ghost!”
Xu Lancui immediately stepped forward to tell Gu Yuniang apart, Gu Miru patted Xu Lancui to reassure her, and said, “It’s okay to let you guys see, but it can only be seen outside the hospital. His temperament I’m shy and don’t like meeting people.”
“You can see it outside the hospital!” Gu Yuniang said, “As long as he is alive, he can sign and sign by himself, and today we will let the shop go!”
She patted her chest and said that, because her son had given her a promise.
Xu Lincheng had seen how miserable Si Xianchun was before. He was already like a dog. It was a miracle that he could breathe in this winter.
It is absolutely impossible for him to consciously sign and fingerprint by himself, and then the pork wife will not be right, so she will not want them to move out.
Everyone followed Gu Miru back, and Xu Lancui was a little worried, pulling Gu Miru to the side and speaking in a low voice.
“Your husband… is he still there?”
Xu Lancui had never seen Si Xianchun. Even most of the people in Xinyang Town only glanced at the young master of the Si family from a distance at the wedding that the Si family sent someone to hold.
At that time, the young master of the Si family wore a mask and had only snow-white hair. After everyone saw it, it was rumored that he was a monster.
How can anyone have a face that is not old yet weak and full of hair?
Isn’t it a monster?
And Xu Lancui had indeed heard that the daughter-in-law of the Si family abused the young master of the Si family. Xu Lancui usually persuaded Gu Miru, but if it didn’t work, she would leave with the young master of the Si family and find a good family again.
So Xu Lancui was very worried, so she grabbed Gu Miru’s hand and kept asking.
Gu Miru smiled at Xu Lancui and said, “I should have introduced my husband to Sister Cuicui long ago. He is really shy, so he has been delayed.”
“But we’re going to move into the shop soon. Sister Cui Cui will be able to see it sooner or later. Let’s take a look from a distance today.”
Everyone came to the door of Gu Miru’s house happily, and Gu Miru opened the door and went in alone.
At this time, there was only Cui Lian in the family, picking up the plum blossoms from the trees in the yard.
Zhang Qian and Xu Si both went to Xunzhou City, and it was only at noon that they had not returned.
Si Xianchun stayed in the house by himself. As soon as Gu Miru entered the yard, Cuilian stopped what she was doing and asked in surprise, “Why did the master come back so early today?”
“I have to go in a while…” After Gu Miru said quickly, she walked into the room.
Si Xianchun was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, and he was a little uneasy. He was waiting for his sister to come.
In his mind, he repeated over and over again what he was going to say when he saw his sister.
In the end, he didn’t wait for his sister, but when Gu Miru came back.
As soon as Gu Miru entered the room, after seeing her, Si Xianchun asked subconsciously, “Didn’t you say…you won’t be back this afternoon?”
Gu Miru smiled at him gently, “I have to go in a while, but now I remember that I haven’t helped you out today, so I will help you to go down the corridor for a walk.”
Si Xianchun didn’t want to go out for a walk, and it wasn’t at this time every day, and he wanted to save his energy to see his sister today.
As a result, Gu Miru couldn’t help but put on a fox fur cloak for him, and then put on shoes for him, but Si Xianchun refused.
Seeing that there was no other way, Si Xianchun had to put on his shoes, grabbed a cane and was supported by Gu Miru, and walked out of the room.
His white hair has always been braided for him by Gu Miru. Yesterday, he braided half of the top of his head, and the rest was scattered on his shoulders. It hasn’t been braided again today, but it doesn’t look messy.
Some of Si Xianchun was helped out reluctantly by Gu Miru. Gu Miru helped him walk down the porch twice, and looked in the direction of the door – she saw Xu Lancui poking her head towards Gu Miru. He waved his hand, indicating that it’s ok.
Gu Miru was about to help Si Xianchun into the house when suddenly Xu Lincheng got in through the corner door on the main gate, and ran towards the yard when he came in.
Xu Lancui chased after him and pulled him, but Xu Lincheng’s footsteps were so fast that he had already reached the center of the hospital in a blink of an eye.
“Cousin, is this your monster husband?” Xu Lincheng’s eyes were full of malice, and Gu Miru’s movements were also stiff.
Si Xianchun’s reaction was the biggest, he turned his head suddenly to look at Xu Lincheng, then opened his eyes wide and filled with panic.
On the night of their wedding, Xu Lincheng said such a sentence, and since then Si Xianchun’s life has been reduced to hell.
Gu Miru could already feel that Si Xianchun was trembling all over.
Gu Miru looked at Xu Lincheng with a stern look, and the system in her mind was also raising the alarm, because Si Xianchun’s self-destruction value began to rise again.
At this time, Xu Lancui had chased behind Xu Lincheng, grabbed his hair, and slapped Xu Lincheng to the ground.
At this time, Gu Miru couldn’t tell how Xu Lincheng was beaten. She clenched Si Xianchun’s stiff hand and didn’t bring him into the house quickly.
But at this critical moment, I thought that this game might be unbreakable.
Si Xianchun was so afraid that the nightmare would repeat itself, that she might as well break his nightmare directly because of Xu Lincheng’s change to the way she was before.
So Gu Miru held Si Xianchun and looked at Xu Lincheng’s blue-white face like a hanged ghost, pulled him towards her, and started to look sloppy again when she met him.
Shen Sheng said with an order: “Look at me! You just watch me choose him or you.”
Gu Miru still didn’t say nonsense like “I won’t hit you”, and simply let him see her choice.
Gu Miru patted his face, forcing him to return to his senses, then held his face and kissed his profile lightly in front of so many people.
Si Xianchun’s trembling stopped.
The alarm in my head also stopped.
He opened his eyes wide and his ears buzzed.
Even Xu Lancui’s slap at Xu Lincheng stopped.
Cuilian “ouch” and covered her face.
The petals she had just picked scattered into the wind, and fell to the ground with a rustling, like Si Xianchun’s scattered heartbeat freed from fear.
