131 Things Achieved (Second Update)

The night sky is cold and gloomy, and the sparkling snowflakes twinkle in the light. The girl leaning against the tree seems to be surrounded by a soft glow when she smiles, lighting up the surroundings.
楚翊的目光落在顾燕飞发髻上的那支白玉梅花簪，簪尾的两朵红梅红艳欲滴。
他的面庞泛起浅浅的笑意，低声问道：“很喜欢吗？”一直戴着。
This sentence is incomprehensible.
"I like it!" Gu Yanfei understood what he was asking, and laughed loudly, nodding calmly.
That flawless and beautiful face always exudes a vibrant vitality, freely soaring and with bright eyes like the most brilliant stars in the night sky, illuminating his heart.
She likes it, that's good! Chu Yi looked at her with a deeper smile on his face, like a spring breeze blowing over the snow-covered earth, warming the air.
Gu Yanfei raised her hand and touched the hairpin in her hair bun, with a gentle movement. She thought to herself, of course, I like it. Thanks to this hairpin, otherwise we would have been in big trouble today!
She still needs to find some more antiques. Gu Yanfei pondered in her heart.
Leaning against the tree trunk for a while, and blowing the cold wind for a while, Gu Yanfei felt more comfortable on her body, but the cold wind kept blowing into her collar, making her feel chilly.
Tonight's confrontation with Xiahou Qing almost drained her of all her spiritual and physical energy, she needs to "recover".
"I'm feeling better now, let's go." Gu Yanfei supported herself with one hand on the tree trunk, trying to stand up straight, "Don't wait for me."
Seeing her struggling to stand, Chu Yi instinctively reached out his left hand, wanting to help her, but Gu Yanfei had already turned around, leaving his hand empty.
Even though her feet were drifting, Gu Yanfei continued to move forward slowly, step by step.
The evening breeze blew up her cloak, making it flutter and her steps seemed even more ethereal, as if floating forward.
Chu Yi's lips curled slightly as he saw that she didn't mean to let him hold her hand at all, so he withdrew his hand.
He walked beside her, holding an umbrella for her silently, and looked at her soft and delicate side face, watching the corners of her lips always slightly curved like a crescent moon, thinking to himself: She seems to be very used to relying on herself.
The two of them walked side by side, leisurely and slowly.
Chu Yi's attention was almost completely focused on the girl beside him.
They were very close to each other, occasionally their arms brushed against each other, their shoulders pressed against each other while walking.
He could smell the faint scent of bamboo on her, mixed with the surrounding snowflakes, refreshing and invigorating.
When they passed by the inn, Gu Yanfei suddenly stopped and reached out to grab a sleeve of Chu Yi, gently shaking it.
Another hand pointed forward, she tiptoed and whispered to him, "Look over there."
"Huh?" Chu Yi blinked, his gaze falling on her two fingers gripping his sleeve, and he smiled mischievously.
In the light, his uplifted eyes and corners of the lips radiated a warm smile.
Gu Yanfei smiled mischievously at him, her bright smile as warm as winter sunlight. She raised one finger on her left hand and began counting:
"One, two, three."
As she counted to "three", there was a loud noise in front, and one of the buildings in the guesthouse collapsed.
The roof, covered in thick accumulated snow, instantly collapsed and the ground below trembled slightly. Inside the house, there were several consecutive screams of shock.
Countless snowflakes and dust are flying in the air, forming a hazy and vast fog!
A large patch of gray snow and broken tiles have fallen on the ground inside the courtyard, creating a mess.
"..." Chu Yi raised an eyebrow without changing his expression.
He remembered that Xia Houqing had walked towards this courtyard.
"One arrow through the clouds, a thousand troops come to meet!" Gu Yanfei laughed happily and patted Chu Yi on the shoulder vigorously.
The sound of a girl's happy laughter echoed in the night breeze.
She couldn't possibly carry any Cloud-Piercing Arrows with her. The red light was the effect of a talisman, which was drawn on the paper crane that she had asked Juanci to give to Xiahou Qing.
This symbol has little effect, it's just a red firework.
However, since the origami crane is indoors, the impact of the red light rising to the sky will inevitably damage the roof.
先前刚下过暴雪，破损的屋顶上压着厚厚的积雪，显然是承受不了多久的……
当年师尊总说她喜欢琢磨一些乱七八糟的符。
If she has the chance to go back, she must have a good chat with her master.
Gu Yanfei raised her hand and touched the several marks on her neck, feeling a lingering pain. She tilted her chin proudly.
Humph! Xiahouqing deserves some bad luck!
Anyway, this Zhuangzi "has been in disrepair for a long time," so a collapsed roof is nothing unusual... right?
Seeing her happy, Chu Yi also smiled, his eyes softened. As long as she is happy!
The two of them continued to move forward slowly and leisurely. From the inn behind them, there were occasional sounds of falling pebbles and debris. In the distance, the cawing of crows, filled with schadenfreude, echoed once again...
When Gu Yanfei returned to the main courtyard, he saw Huang, the steward, poking his head around near the gate.
He certainly heard the commotion of the guest house collapsing, but Gu Yanfei had given orders earlier that he was not allowed to step out of the gate.
"Go and tidy up two more rooms, and if everyone else has nothing to do, rest early," said Gu Yanfei as she instructed Manager Huang while continuing to walk inside.
Her calm and composed demeanor instantly put Manager Huang's restless heart at ease for the remainder of the night.
"Yes, yes, I will do it right away," Huang Steward nodded and said, rubbing his hands.
As they spoke, they arrived at the corridor in front of the main hall. Gu Yanfei chose a chair nearby and sat down, while Si Hai and the other guards stood outside the main yard.
Gu Yuan only arrived two steps later than them, and quickly strode into the house. On his handsome face, his sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"There is no sedan chair in this mansion," he coldly instructed the butler Wang, "It won't do if there is no sedan chair in the mansion, make sure to prepare one in the future."
Huang, the steward, nodded and agreed, but secretly thought to himself: "The masters haven't been to the estate in over a decade, and the sedan chair broke a long time ago."
Gu Yuan paid no attention to Huang and quickly walked over to Gu Yanfei. He spoke softly and asked, "Sister, are you feeling better? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
Gu Yanfei waved her hand, wanting to say that she was the best doctor, but before she could speak, she heard a weak and elderly female voice from outside the room:
"Miss... Young Master..."
Outside the hall, a short and chubby figure in black hurriedly ran over.
The person who came was Mrs. Pang.
Mrs. Pang was wearing a semi-new and old black cape, with a white cloth tied around her forehead, and her gray hair was a bit messy in the wind.
Huang's daughter carefully supported Pan Mama's arm, and the little girl explained hesitantly, "Pan Mama heard that Young Master also came, so she insisted on coming over to pay respects to Young Master."
"Young Master!" Even after so many years, Granny Pang still recognized Gu Yanfei at a glance, with tears filling her swollen eyes once again.
When she left, Gu Yanfei was only a six-year-old child, and now he has grown into a handsome young man.
Grandmother Pang's complexion is still poor, but her mood is obviously good. Her cloudy old eyes brighten a little when she looks at Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yuan's eyes widened slightly, also recognizing Grandma Pang who he hasn't seen for many years.
Ten years of time have transformed an ignorant child into a spirited young adult, while cruelly leaving countless wrinkles and strands of silver hair on the plump face of Auntie Pang.
"Granny," Gu Yuan was first shocked to see Granny Pang here in this mansion, and then he realized that she was injured, his voice tinged with hoarseness, "What happened to you...?"
"On the way here to seek shelter from the snow with Jiaoniang and the others, I found Pang Mama," explained Gu Yanfei on behalf of Pang Mama, lazily leaning against the high-backed chair. "At the time, Pang Mama was injured on the head and lying by the roadside."
"Granny said she went to the government office today, but was turned away by someone."
"Gu Yanfei was concise and didn't say much, but fatigue was evident in her brows."
"Gu Yuantong's pupils dilated, his thin lips pursed, and his right hand instinctively grasped the armrest of the chair."
"Mama... " His gaze turned to the white bandage wrapped around Pang Mama's forehead, and a barely noticeable tremor could be heard in his normally cold and steady voice.
He was not stupid. With just a few words from Gu Yanfei, he immediately understood that Pang Mama had been killed to silence her.
But why?!
Gu Yuan's eyes were cold and dark, like they were hiding ancient ice.
The figures of his blood relatives crossed his mind.
Gu Yuan's thin lips tightened, feeling a suppressed sense of an approaching storm...
Junbi quickly served tea to everyone, except for Gu Yanfei, whose cup was personally handed to her by Junbi.
There was nothing special about the tea in this villa, so Junbi used the flower tea she carried with her, and the faint scent of plum blossoms spread in the air with the steam of the tea.
After drinking a few sips of hot tea, Gu Yanfei's face became slightly flushed from the steam, but he still felt weak and his lips were slightly pale.
Gu Yanfei examined Gu Yuan's complicated expression, his gaze deep and profound, and slowly asked, "Brother, have you ever had smallpox?"
Because of exhaustion, her voice was not as clear as usual, with a hint of world-weariness against the backdrop of wind and snow outside the house.
Pang Mama's lips turned pale and trembled involuntarily as she heard the words, clutching the handkerchief tightly.
Hearing the word "smallpox", Chu Yi, who was silently drinking tea on the side, also reacted and glanced at Gu Yuan.
"..." Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow in confusion, not knowing why his sister would ask such a question.
After a moment of recollection, he honestly said, "I remember when I was three or four years old, I got very sick, with a high fever, and I was in a daze... my grandmother said it was smallpox."
"Is it really smallpox?" Gu Yanfei stared intently into Gu Yuan's eyes, trying hard to gather her spirits, and asked again, "Big brother, you never doubted it?"
Her complexion slightly paled, and her gaze towards Gu Yuan became deeper and more complicated.
Guyuan: "..."
Guyuan's eyes narrowed, and his expression gradually became serious. Of course, his sister wouldn't act without a purpose...
