Chapter 1085

....
1085 He disappeared
Just like Xue Qianyu, Gu Nian also fainted when she saw Gu shouxin and the others. Xue Qianyu fell forward while Gu Nian had a soft cushion.
Gu shouxin was the first to arrive. He picked Gu Nian up and laid her flat on the ground while he held her head. He could tell that she was dehydrated from her pale face and cracked lips.
He removed the bamboo tube from his body and fed Gu Nian some water.
After Gu Xin arrived, she took Gu Nian’s pulse and began to do the same with her left hand.
She had been studying medicine with grandma Xiao for three years. Although she was extremely talented, she still could not reach grandma Xiao’s level.
“How is it?” Gu shouxin asked in a deep voice.
“Father, sister must have not eaten for a few days, and her body is very weak. I’m fine in other areas.” Gu Xin replied.
“Second uncle, look.” Gu Hui happened to be standing beside Gu Nian’s feet. When she saw the blood on Gu Nian’s ankle, she reached out to open it. There was a purplish-black patch around the snake bite.
“But sister isn’t poisoned!” Gu Xin was puzzled.
second miss Gu is not poisoned. Our general is poisoned! Xue Qianyu’s Deputy general had also arrived. The Gu family had come to check on Gu Nian, but their general was lying on the ground and no one cared. How pitiful!
The Gu family members looked over. Uh, alright, Xue Qianyu’s lips were already dark, and he did not look too good. There were no other obvious wounds.
Even a fool could tell what was going on.
Gu shouxin asked Gu Hui to carry Gu Nian as he stood up and looked around.
There was no one around. Other than a few bloodstains on the edge of the cliff, there was no sign of a fight.
There was a rope on the tree, and there was a place where the branch had broken.
……
Xue Qianyu woke up before Gu Nian. When he woke up, he found himself in the tent and a familiar voice standing by his bed.
“Second uncle!” Xue Qianyu sat up and called out.
Gu shouxin turned around and looked at him. His lips had already recovered their rosy color, and his face was no longer as dead as before.”Do you feel better?”
Xue Qianyu nodded,”I’m fine.” How was Gu Nian’s condition? Did second uncle bring back the masked man’s corpse?”
Gu shouxin raised his eyebrows and said,”niannian is fine.” There’s no one else there other than you and niannian.”
Xue Qianyu first heaved a sigh of relief, then he was shocked. “Impossible! When I found the rope on him, I sighed at his breath. He was already dead. Could it be that he’s trained in the breath control technique?”
The breath holding technique was a cultivation technique that controlled one’s breath and made one think that the person was already dead.
Xue Qianyu had seen Gu Nian shoot the bracelet at the masked man. He had also seen the hidden weapon in the bracelet go through the masked man’s body. How could he still be alive?
Gu shouxin sat by the bed and asked carefully about the incident.
Xue Qianyu only knew what happened after that. He didn’t know anything about what happened in the beginning.
He had been poisoned by the snake’s venom when he sucked out Gu Nian’s blood. He had just fainted from the poison. Gu Xin fed him a Jade bead and he recovered completely. He got up and followed Gu shouxin to Gu Nian’s place so that the two of them could talk together.
At that moment, Gu Nian had just finished a bowl of porridge. Gu Hui, Gu Xin, and Princess Jing He were all around her.
Gu shouxin didn’t enter the tent directly. He called out from outside and waited for the inside to finish before bringing Xue Qianyu in.
Gu Nian was only relieved when she saw Xue Qianyu again and that he was back to normal.
After starving for a few days, she had become thinner. In addition, she had not washed up for a few days, so she looked a little disheveled now.
God knows why she would still think about her own appearance in this situation. She was puzzled herself.
