Pretty CEO's Soldier Son-in-law

C352 Farewell to Water



C352 Farewell to Water

After recognizing the person sitting on his door, he turned out to be the guy that saved the lady. Not only did Old Gossa not warmly invite him home, but there was also vigilance in his eyes. He took a step back: "Why are you in front of my house?"    

    

After Gao Fei saved Shui'er, he suspected that the little girl had impure intentions towards him. He didn't even give her a chance to thank him before he turned around and left.    

    

After he left, Old Gossa immediately helped Shui'er into the carriage, afraid that they would meet the little prince and the others if they entered through West City gate. Thus, he intentionally made a detour to enter the city from the north gate.    

    

Shui'er went back home to rest because she was scared, so she fell asleep for a long time. It wasn't until nightfall that Old Gossa woke her up.    

    

After seeing that his mistress was not in a good mood and had a sickly look, Old Gossa felt that he should go to a restaurant to buy some good food. The moment he got out of the restaurant, he saw Gao Fei.    

    

Old Gossa thought Gao Fei had followed them here.    

    

To be honest, Old Gossa was very grateful to Gao Fei for saving his mistress. Otherwise, Shui'er might have been spoiled by the little prince long ago.    

    

But then again, he was even more afraid of the little prince, afraid that the little prince would blame the loss he had suffered on Gao Fei on his master and his servants.    

    

Therefore, when he saw Gao Fei, his first reaction was to be vigilant, afraid that he would be implicated.    

    

It was normal for Old Gossa to have this kind of thought. It was a mischief in the hearts of the lower class citizens: as long as they could survive, they had to discard something as' dignified 'and' grateful 'as their pride.    

    

Seeing the rejection and vigilance in Old Gossa's eyes, Gao Fei frowned and then said lightly, "I also don't know that this is your home. I'm just sitting here to rest."    

    

If it was in the past, Gao Fei would have kicked him into the sky long ago when he met someone who could repay such a 'kindness with enmity'. Then, Gao Fei would spit on his face.    

    

However, in this strange place, Gao Fei didn't have the mood to argue with Old Gossa. After saying that, he turned around and left.    

    

He had just taken a few steps when he heard Old Gossa whisper: "Miss, why did you come out?"    

    

Then, Gao Fei heard Shui'er's timid voice, "Please wait a moment, this warrior!"    

    

Gao Fei turned around and saw Shui'er, who had changed into a set of white linen clothes, standing at the door with her left hand against the door frame. Surprise flashed across her eyes in the dark.    

    

Gao Fei had hurt Shui'er's heart before he had saved her.    

    

It was because of his ruthlessness that Shui'er had been depressed ever since she had returned home.    

    

Now, seeing Gao Fei suddenly appear in front of her house, Shui'er was overjoyed.    

    

After seeing that Shui'er was really happy, Gao Fei felt a warm feeling in his heart. He chuckled and said, "Miss, what do you need me for?"    

    

Shui'er took a step forward and stood on the steps of the gate. "Thank you for your help during the day," she said in a low voice. Because of this, the little girl felt extremely hesitant in her heart … I never thought that I would be able to see a warrior again, so I invited him to come home and drink some tea to express my gratitude. "    

    

Before Gao Fei could say anything, Old Gossa said anxiously in a low voice, "Miss, he was killed by Little Wang …"    

    

"Old Gossa, don't say anymore, I know what I'm doing."    

    

Shui'er raised her hand and cut off Old Gossa's words. She placed both of her hands on her waist and bent down. Following the example of an ancient woman from the Central Plains, she gave Wu Tie a blessings, "Brave warrior, please."    

    

Gao Fei was in a place no one knew, so he didn't know where to go. Therefore, even though Old Gossa was very unhappy, he still pretended to be silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, then I'll be troubling you."    

    

"Brave one, please!"    

    

Seeing that Gao Fei finally agreed to go home, Shui'er was overjoyed. She then urged Old Gossa: "Old Gossa, hurry up and get some food and wine. Everything must be fine!"    

    

Shui'er then took out a shiny silver item (about 2 taels of silver, according to Gao Fei's guess) and stuffed it into Old Gossa's hand. She then quietly told him not to be stingy with his money and that he must have good food and wine.    

    

Old Gossa felt helpless and sighed. He could only take the lantern and leave.    

    

Under Shui'er's warm invitation, Gao Fei walked into the yard.    

    

The yard was not big, about 20-30 square meters. Facing the door were three houses made of black stone. On the right side was a slightly smaller house. It seemed to be where Old Gossa lived.    

    

Looking around the yard, Gao Fei chuckled and said, "Hehe, looks like Old Gossa doesn't really welcome me here."    

    

Shui'er said apologetically, "I'm sorry, warrior. It's not that Old Gossa doesn't welcome you, it's just that he's worried … "    

    

Gao Fei continued, "Are you worried that you'll be implicated by me?"    

    

Shui'er did not say anything, but her silence was tantamount to admitting it.    

    

Gao Fei said faintly: "Actually, you don't have to worry about that. I've been wandering around the city ever since I beat up that little prince, and I've been admiring your palace for a while, but I still haven't seen him bring anyone to arrest me. "    

    

Shui'er was stunned. "What?" "You, where did you run off to?"    

    

Gao Fei casually said, "That's right, your palace is very majestic and very impressive. If it was developed to be a scenic spot, it would definitely be rated as one of the top 4 scenic spots in the Holy Dynasty."    

    

Shui'er did not know what it meant to develop a top-tier scenic spot. When she heard that Gao Fei had come back unharmed after strolling around the palace, she was shocked.    

    

At the same time, there was a bit of joy from the fluke: The little prince didn't even catch the strong ones, how could he possibly come looking for trouble with us. Seems like Old Gossa is overthinking.    

    

Following that, he lifted the curtain made of reeds and walked into the main house. The first thing Gao Fei saw was an incense table.    

    

Two spirit tablets were placed on the incense burner facing the main house. Underneath the spirit tablet was a bronze censer with three joss sticks stuck in it. It seemed that it had just been lit.    

    

On the ground in front of the incense table was a praying mat.    

    

Seeing Gao Fei notice the memorial tablet, Shui'er lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "This is my parents' memorial tablet. Father passed away due to illness more than a month ago, today is the fifth or seventh year. Old Gossa and I went to the grave to bury him and met a warrior."    

    

Shui'er raised her head and smiled sweetly at Gao Fei. "Brave warrior, please follow me."    

    

"Don't call me Brave Warrior, it sounds a bit awkward. You should call me by my name. My surname is Gao, my name is Gao Fei."    

    

"Gao Fei, that's not good. Let me call you Gao Xianggong."    

    

Gao Xianggong, you better call me Gao Ya, Gao Fei thought to himself as he nodded noncommittally and followed Shui'er into the east room on the right side of the main house.    

    

The interior of the room was simple and unadorned. There was a desk (there were a few bottles on it; it seemed like they were for drinking water), two prayer mats, and a low wooden couch.    

    

Beside the wooden bed, there was a rectangular wooden box with an oil lamp placed on top of it.    

    

On the wall, there was a scabbard with a curved blade.    

    

There was nothing else.    

    

"Gao Xianggong, please sit."    

    

Shui'er let Gao Fei sit on a futon, her right hand holding the lapel as she leisurely sat opposite to him, explaining, "This is the house my father lived in before he died. Although it is a little simple, it is very clean and Gao Xianggong, if you don't mind, you can rest here for the night."    

    

Right now, Gao Fei's biggest worry was not knowing where to go, so when he heard Shui'er's words, his eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, okay …" But, will I disturb you? "    

    

Shui'er pursed her lips and chuckled, "How could that be? Shui'er would be happy to have Gao Xianggong stay in a poor house. "    

    

Gao Fei heaved a sigh of relief and quickly changed the topic. "Lady, is your name Shui'er?"    

    

Shui'er nodded. "Yes, my name is Shui'er." My name was given to me by my deceased mother, who said that she hoped I could be like water and be gentle and clean forever. "    

    

"Good, good name! Lotus out of the mud without any pollution, water to clean and fish free, turbid can wash feet, clean can wipe the end of the face is a first-class good name! "    

    

Gao Fei attacked with his palms and praised repeatedly while talking nonsense. In his heart, he thought: "Why hasn't that Old Gossa returned yet?"    

    

Shui'er didn't understand what Gao Fei was talking about, but she could tell that he was praising her. She was very happy. She opened the box behind her and took out a paper bag before carefully putting it on the table.    

    

Gao Fei stared at the paper bag and guessed what treasure it was.    

    

Shui'er opened the package. It was still wrapped in paper, and when she opened it again, it was still inside …    

    

"Don't tell me this woman wants to give me her ancestral treasure in return for my help?"    

    

Gao Fei stared at the layers of paper and guessed: Is it the Night Pearl or the Agate?    

    

Finally, after Shui'er peeled off seven or eight layers of paper bags, Gao Fei smelled a familiar scent. It was pinched, so the tea leaves were inside the bread!    

    

Sure enough, after Shui'er opened the last layer of paper, a small cluster of dark-green tea leaves was revealed.    

    

Using just his sense of smell, Gao Fei was able to determine that if these tea leaves were placed in his world, they would only be worth at most 30 yuan per catty of low-grade goods. They were commonly known as low grade food and were only 'blessed' to drink them in a small restaurant in the countryside, but Shui'er treated them like treasures.    

    

"When my father was still alive, he was rewarded by his superior for his meritorious service. All these years, he hadn't been willing to drink it."    

    

He carefully picked up a handful of tea leaves and put them into a teacup (just like a teacup): "Gao Xianggong, you don't know, when father obtained these tea leaves, he was so envious that the eyes of his colleagues turned red."    

    

Watching Shui'er carry the larger ceramic pot and pour the hot water from it into the pot, Gao Fei nodded repeatedly in shock, "Oh, oh, I didn't expect that I would have the honor of tasting this top-grade tea leaves today, it's my fortune, my fortune in three lives!"    

    

"I naturally have to leave good things for the most respected ones. This is something that my father has always taught me."    

    

Shui'er held the teacup with both hands and whispered, "Gao Xianggong, please have some tea."    

    

Gao Fei took the cup: "You don't want a bowl?"    

    

Shui'er smiled gently but didn't say anything. It seemed like she was reluctant to drink it.    

    

Lightly taking a sip of 'tea' that no one in the outside world would even bother to look at, Gao Fei smacked his lips, closed his eyes, and sighed while shaking his head: "Good tea, good tea indeed!"    

    

Shui'er said happily, "Then let's drink a few more cups."    

    

"Good items are not to be coveted."    

    

Gao Fei shook his head and put down his teacup. "Shui'er, I have a few things I want to ask you. I hope you can tell me the truth."    

    

Seeing the serious expression on Gao Fei's face, Shui'er stopped smiling and said, "Gao Xianggong, please speak."    

    

Gao Fei stared at Shui'er's clear eyes and asked softly, "What year is it now? "What dynasty is it now?"
