Chapter 17 The Truth Reveals
Young Master Jiu saw Gong Meier falling down in the room and hurriedly ran out. He roared at the two servants holding whips: "Stop! Did I tell you to stop? If Gong Meier has a long and short, I will ask you to bury him with me!" The two servants were really shocked. They had never seen Young Master Jiu, who had always been gentle and elegant, get so angry. Even when his three houses died, they had never seen him get so angry. Young Master Jiu rushed over and knelt on the ground and hugged Gong Meier. The person in his arms no longer had the arrogant and domineering arrogance. The two eyebrows were locked in deep eyes, and they looked very haggard.
"Yu'er! What are you doing!" The wife's questioning came from the house.
Young Master Ninth didn't care about that much at this moment. He picked up Gong Meier and shouted: "Mother! I'll be an unfilial child today! I'm sorry!" After that, he strode to the star and carried Gong Meier back to Xie Luozhai. On the way, he did not forget to instruct the girl beside him: "Go and invite the doctor!"
Gong Meier curled up in the arms of Master Jiu, like a wounded kitten, crying silently. Master Jiu walked very quickly all the way, fearing that the sun would cause discomfort to Gong Meier. Until he returned to Xie Luozhai and entered his room, he put Gong Meier on his bed, helped her to lie on her side, and tried not to touch the wound on his back. Master Jiu then heard Gong Meier open his mouth slightly, and seemed to be saying something in his mouth, and the voice was very weak. Master Jiu put his ear close to her, and then he heard clearly that she was saying: "Senior Brother... take me away... Senior Brother... take me away..."
"Who is Senior Brother?" Young Master Jiu said to himself.
Just as he was thinking, the doctor came. Master Jiu quickly asked the doctor to treat Gong Meier's wound. Perhaps because the doctor's action was a little heavy, Gong Meier fainted in pain. Master Jiu saw that Gong Meier was speechless, immediately grabbed the doctor's collar, stared at the eyes and shouted sternly: "What's wrong with Gong Meier? Why didn't she frowned and didn't say anything?"
"Junior Master Jiu, don't be anxious... The girl just fainted for the time being." The doctor seemed to be startled. He once heard that the young master Jiu of General Xiao's family was a gentle young man. When he saw him today, he was so rude.
Only then did the Ninth Master let go of his hand, "Remember! Do your best! Use the best medicinal materials! This Master does not allow Gong Meier to make any mistakes!"
"Okay, okay, I must do my best." The doctor responded, feeling very stressed.
After about half an hour of busy work, the doctor prescribed medicine for Master Jiu, settled a few words, and left like a runaway.
The sky gradually darkened, but Gong Mei'er still did not wake up. Young Master Jiu kept guarding her like this. Several girls came in to persuade him to have a meal, but they were scolded. He gently grabbed Gong Mei'er's cold hand and put it on his face. For the first time, he felt scared, afraid that she would never wake up again, afraid that she would never stand in front of him again, and called him Young Master Jiu.
"Senior Brother..." Gong Meier opened her mouth slightly and spitted out these three words. A smile appeared on Young Master Ninth's face. He shouted outside the door: "Come here! Meier is awake! Come here!"
Gong Meier slowly opened her eyes, but she saw the face of Master Jiu. Her nose felt sore and shed tears again. Master Jiu gently wiped away her tears and asked softly: "Meier, what's wrong? Where is it uncomfortable?"
"I... am I still alive?" Gong Mei'er actually wanted to get closer to him, but she didn't dare. She couldn't help but consider the huge gap in their identities.
"Follower, of course you're alive."
The girl behind her came in for a while before she could just mutter, "Young Master Jiu, what are you asking?"
Young Master Jiu replied without looking back: "Cook a bowl of ginseng soup." The girl had just walked for a few steps, Young Master Jiu added another sentence as if he had remembered something: "Slow down, remember to add honey to the ginseng soup." Young Master Jiu remembered that Gong Meier liked to eat sweets.
"Mei'er, do you feel uncomfortable?" Master Jiu sat up with Gong Mei'er and asked considerately.
Gong Meier shook her head but didn't say anything. Her mouth was white, her face was pale, and she looked bloodless. Master Jiu poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Drink this to moisten your throat." Gong Meier took the teacup, raised her head and drank it in one sip, and then handed the empty teacup to Master Jiu. In fact, Gong Meier felt a little ashamed. As Master Jiu's slave, she had not served Master Jiu like this, but now she wanted Master Jiu to serve her.
Young Master Jiu put down the teacup and suddenly remembered something, "Meier, who is Senior Brother?"
After so many years, I heard the eldest brother from the mouth of Master Jiu. Gong Meier panicked and moved her back, which happened to hit the wound. "Ouch!" she couldn't help but scream.
"Is it okay Mei'er? Why are you so careless?"
Gong Meier shook her head. She felt that she had called the eldest brother inadvertently when she was unconsciously unconsciously, so Young Master Ninth asked this. So she began to answer Young Master Ninth’s question: “Big Brother, I am the eldest brother when I was learning kung fu.”
"I should have thought that you are so skilled, you must have learned some kung fu, but when did you learn it? Aren't you sold here as a slave?"
"I was a neighbor of my childhood. He knew some skills and took the children around him as disciples." Gong Meier didn't know if she made up this lie, but it seemed that Young Master Nine believed it.
Young Master Nine touched his chin and asked thoughtfully: "You called out to Senior Brother when you were unconscious, do you know?"
"I don't know." Although Gong Mei'er said he didn't know, it was not difficult to imagine that when she was Zhang Zhihang, the most beautiful memory in her life was probably the only childhood time she spent with her senior brother. So this memory, whether she was Zhang Zhihang or Gong Mei'er, was extremely important.
"Do you like him?"
Gong Meier suddenly said in a daze. Does she like the eldest brother? She didn't know either. Maybe she liked it. But no matter whether she liked it or not, she would give Master Jiu a positive answer, because only in this way can she stay away from Master Jiu and a little further away. So she nodded.
"Why do you like him?" Young Master Jiu was calm when he asked these questions. He seemed to just listen to this matter as a story.
Gong Meier thought about it and replied seriously: "Because, the eldest brother is only kind to me, he is willing to give me the best. When I was young, when I was wronged and hid, he could find me no matter where I was." In fact, what Gong Meier wanted to say the most was that, you, the Ninth Master, would never be able to do these things.
"Do you like me?"
