I Am the Youngest Son of the Gu King Who Cannot Cast a Spell [Through the Book] - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

After eating and drinking, it was getting late. Gu Xiaobao said goodnight to Qian Long at the corner of the corridor.

Then, he remembered the purpose of his going out – to find Shen Que.

After such a long time, Shen Que should have finished his meal. Gu Xiaobao knocked on Shen Que’s door again.

Fortunately, it was opened quickly this time. The other party was wearing a loose-fitting sweater and had changed into home pants. It seemed that he had been back for a while.

Before he could speak, the other party asked directly, “Is there a problem with the room facilities?”

“Yes,” Gu Xiaobao followed him and said, “The light in my room is sometimes bright and sometimes dim, which is a bit scary.”

After speaking, he realized that there was a flaw in his logic. With Shen Que’s personality, he would definitely ask the front desk to send someone to repair it, and it would be impossible for him to step into his territory even a step.

He opened his mouth, intending to find some reason the other party could not refuse.

But he saw Shen Que turn sideways, which meant to let him in.

Gu Xiaobao couldn’t believe it: “You…”

“Are you going in or not? If not, the door is closing.”

“Of course!” Gu Xiaobao rushed into the room at lightning speed, “Thank you, Brother Que, for taking me in, hehe.”

After a pause, he complimented again: “You are so kind.”

“…” Shen Que suddenly regretted his previous decision.

This time they were out for a short period, so they didn’t bring much luggage. Each of them had a bag, which was thrown in the car without being taken down, so the room was very tidy.

“You sleep on the inside,” Shen Que arranged.

Gu Xiaobao sleeps deeply and rarely gets up at night. It didn’t matter whether it was inside or outside. He said he had no objection, then took out a charger from his pocket and charged his mobile phone.

As a result, when he plugged in the power, he looked up again and found that the other party was already naked from the waist up, and it seemed he was ready to take off his pants!

Damn, what is this guy doing? He didn’t think he was offering his ass on his own initiative, did he?

No, it’s not offering his ass. Shen Que and the original owner were legally married, with a certificate, and they could do whatever they wanted.

But… but he is not the original owner!

Gu Xiaobao took a step back in fear: “What do you want to do?”

“It’s dark, do what you should do,” Shen Que’s tone was very matter-of-fact.

Afraid of being kicked out, Gu Xiaobao didn’t dare to resist too radically and laughed dryly, “I’ve been traveling all day today. I’m very tired. You should have a good rest first, and then you can do it when you have time…”

“What else?” Shen Que walked around from the outside of the bed to the inside.

Gu Xiaobao took another step back in fear, and his whole body was firmly pressed against the wall.

“Again… again…” He really couldn’t say that kind of word.

“It’s because I’m tired from traveling that I need to relax.”

The more Shen Que said, the more ferocious Gu Xiaobao’s expression became, and he even had a tendency to lean towards the window.

He would rather jump out of the window to maintain his straight male self-esteem.

“I’m going to take a hot shower to relax,” Shen Que took out the bath towel that he had placed on the inner bedside table and turned into the bathroom.

Gu Xiaobao: “?”

After a while, Gu Xiaobao realized that Shen Que was teasing him.

That’s right, he reviewed it again and was absolutely sure that Shen Que was teasing him.

Damn it!

The more he reviewed it, the angrier he got. Gu Xiaobao even wanted to have another quarrel. At this time, Shen Que had finished his shower, turned off the lights, and lay on the other side.

In just one day, he had lost face in front of Shen Que twice, and just now he was teased again. If he didn’t get rid of this anger, he really couldn’t sleep.

Gu Xiaobao pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the other person’s breathing. When the breathing became even and long, he tried to communicate with the animals around him.

Don’t say it, the Gu King is the Gu King. Once you enter the territory of Guizhou and Hunan, there are little slaves in his family everywhere!

Gu Xiaobao picked and chose and picked out a brown and yellow moth.

“Shake the scale powder into his mouth,” he raised his head towards Shen Que and ordered in his mind.

There is a layer of scales on the wings of butterflies and moths, and the surface is covered with scale powder. When I was a child, the old people always said that this powder was poisonous. If it entered the ears, you would become deaf, and if you ate it in your mouth, you would become dumb.

In fact, the scale powder only has a very small amount of toxicity and does not cause harm to the human body. At most, it can cause skin redness, swelling, itching, respiratory allergies, and other reactions.

“Isn’t it immoral?” The moth looked at Shen Que, who had a strong sense of morality.

“It won’t kill anyone, so what’s there to be afraid of?”

“Okay, but his mouth is so tightly closed that I can’t shake it in.”

“I’ll open it for you.”

Gu Xiaobao climbed up and crawled to Shen Que’s side, trying to pinch his mouth open.

Before he could do anything, he suddenly met a pair of amber eyes.

Then, his eyes went black, and his cheeks were clamped hard from below, his chin raised high, and he had to open his mouth because of the pinch!

Because he was thin, Gu Xiaobao’s chin was short and pointed, and he didn’t know. The other party’s muscles and bones were evenly long, and if his index finger went a little deeper, it would almost reach his mouth.

Pain and suffocation swept over him. Of course, compared to these, there was more of a strong sense of humiliation.

Gu Xiaobao had no doubt that the other party really wanted to kill him at this moment. There is no doubt that Shen Que would never let him die quickly!

But this body is too weak. In the face of death, humiliation is nothing. He knew that he had no chance of winning with force, so he simply gave up struggling and was pinched obediently, saying vaguely: “You didn’t sleep?”

Shen Que supported the bed with his left elbow, half sitting opposite him. He squinted his eyes. In the dark, Gu Xiaobao couldn’t see his expression clearly.

Because he opened his mouth for too long, saliva flowed out of the corners of his mouth uncontrollably. Gu Xiaobao continued to explain: “A moth landed on your face, and I wanted to drive it away for you. Here, look, it’s there.”

He pointed at the moth, then waved his hand guiltily to fan it away.

“Ah, it hurts–” The moth flew away sadly with tears in its eyes.

Gu Xiaobao said sorry in his heart.

Shen Que still didn’t answer, and Gu Xiaobao was afraid of angering the other party, so he remained silent.

After about ten seconds, his cheeks relaxed. Perhaps because his saliva was disgusting, Shen Que finally let him go, took out his handkerchief, and carefully wiped his fingers wet with saliva.

Finally out of danger, Gu Xiaobao rubbed his cheeks and moved left and right. Fortunately, except for the severe pain, there was no problem with the bones and they were not dislocated.

When he finally recovered, Shen Que had closed his eyes again as if nothing had happened.

Thinking back to just now, Gu Xiaobao was very frightened. Shen Que’s speed of fighting back was definitely a conditioned reflex. He didn’t know why Shen Que had formed this conditioned reflex; he was obviously just a prince of a wealthy family.

Maybe he thought too simply of the protagonist.

Gu Xiaobao was a little confused, and he also lay down with his back to Shen Que.

He lay crookedly, with the muscles of his back and arms relaxed, which was a posture that exposed all his weaknesses to the enemy.

Shen Que looked at him for a while, slowly retracted his hands from the interlayer of the mattress, and closed his eyes.

Before going to bed, Gu Xiaobao thought, a gentleman’s revenge is never too late. One day he will find a chance to let the moth shake powder into this guy’s mouth!

No, not powder, shit into his mouth!

Yes!

Gu Xiaobao had a dream. In the dream, he took revenge on Shen Que fiercely, which made the simple breakfast in the guesthouse taste delicious.

After eating, the two continued on their way. Before leaving, Gu Xiaobao glanced at the single room.

The room was empty, the cleaning lady was tidying up, and Qian Long had checked out and left.

It was a pity that he couldn’t say goodbye in person, but they had exchanged contact information, so the ends of the earth are not far away.

The weather was good today. With the lesson of yesterday, Gu Xiaobao gave up making trouble and hurried on his way honestly.

After driving for about two hours, the road ahead gradually turned into a bumpy dirt road and an unobstructed winding mountain road. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to Wengna Village.

Wengna is located deep in the mountains and is rich in products, but because the mountain road is really difficult to walk, it has never developed. The village still has no internet access, and the signal was just built a few years ago.

It is said that the Gu King once paid money and took all the men in the village to repair the road. But the mountain road stretching for hundreds of miles is really beyond human power. The final result is that it is only more convenient for the locals to enter and exit, and there are still no outsiders or vehicles.

Before entering the village, Gu Xiaobao called his sister in advance. When she heard that her brother would be back soon, his sister was very surprised and shouted that she would take the tribesmen to the village gate to pick him up in advance.

When he drove the car into the village gate, the two sacred trees that had guarded the village for hundreds of years were wrapped with red silk. Aunts and uncles in traditional costumes stood in a row to welcome them. Even the dogs in the village wore red collars.

… This is not necessary, right?

Gu Xiaobao was stunned.

There were two men and one woman standing in front of the aunts and uncles. The man in the lead was older, the man on the left was about the same age as Shen Que, and the girl on the right was younger.

Before he got out of the car, the girl had already run over.

She was wearing a blue traditional costume, and she wore intricate silver ornaments on her head and body. When running, the silverware clashed, jingling, and the spring breeze hit the clear spring.

Her laughter became even clearer and more hearty, and she spoke fluent Chinese: “You finally came back to see us! Stop the car here, we can’t get into the village.”

She was the original owner’s sister, and her Chinese name was Gu Chengyue. Seeing her eyes, Gu Xiaobao suddenly turned to Shen Que, “Can I ask you for a favor?”

“What?”

“Be a little closer to me in front of my family.”

He was afraid that his family would be sad if they saw that they were not on good terms.

“Yes.” Shen Que responded quite readily.

Gu Chengyue waited patiently outside the door. After thanking Shen Que, Gu Xiaobao opened the door and got out of the car. The girl immediately put her arm around him and looked him up and down: “You’ve lost weight.”

After saying that, she pulled him towards the middle-aged man.

Gu Xiaobao was a little nervous.

If his guess was correct, the middle-aged man should be the original owner’s biological father, the legendary Gu King.

Gu Qingchang was tall and burly, with a majestic square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a resolute face. He did not look like a Guizhou or Hunan person, but rather a boy on the grassland.

Gu Xiaobao thought he would be a strict father, but when he got closer, the other party stretched out his long arms and hugged him.

“My little treasure, you are finally back. I missed you so much!” The voice trembled with obvious sobs.

The mysterious and powerful Gu King in the legend… turned out to be a crying monster!

But after only two cries, the Gu King let go of his son, patted Shen Que on the shoulder, and said in a serious and friendly way: “A Que, is your grandfather in good health recently?”

Shen Que nodded and began to tell him about the recent situation of the Shen family. The two talked and laughed, just like a good father-in-law and son-in-law.

While they were talking, the elder brother silently hugged Gu Xiaobao and then led everyone to the village.

This was Gu Xiaobao’s first time to the ethnic minority settlement, and he looked around curiously. He found that red lanterns were hung in front of each stilt house in the village, and several large pots were set up in the small square in the east.

Next to the stove, the slaughtered livestock piled up like a small mountain, and young men were adding firewood to boil water and scald the livestock.

At first, he thought that the red silk was tied to welcome him, but now it seemed that he thought too much.

He asked Gu Chengyue curiously: “Sister, is there any happy event in the village?”

He called the word “sister” so smoothly that he was stunned.

“Yes, it’s a double happiness. One is your return, and the other is the wedding of the river god.”

“The wedding of the river god?” Gu Xiaobao was curious.

“Dad took us to see it when we were young. But you were just born at that time, so you probably don’t have any impression.”

The younger brother was introverted and rarely communicated with his family. Maybe it was his married life that changed him. Seeing his younger brother willing to chat with him, Gu Chengyue was very happy. She smiled and explained:

“The terrain here is low, and during the rainy season, the farmland is always flooded, making life miserable for the people. About a hundred years ago, the river god appeared in a dream to the back village and said that if he was sent a bride, he would ensure good weather and good harvests for us.”

“At that time, almost all the crops in the surrounding area were ruined, and the villagers could only dig wild vegetables to eat. A girl heard the rumor, bravely stood up, put on a wedding dress, and rowed a boat into the river god cave alone. The rain stopped that day, and for the next twenty years, the weather was good and the harvests were plentiful as the river god said.”

“After that time, the custom has continued. To be fair, the four major villages around take turns to hold weddings. This year it is our turn in Wengna.”

Hearing his sister’s words, Gu Xiaobao came up with an idea: “When will the wedding be held?”

“Tomorrow, it’s a coincidence that you came back.”

It was indeed a coincidence. There were four large villages nearby, plus countless small villages, and there would definitely be a lot of people coming to watch the ceremony.

On such a grand and mysterious day, if Shen Que “accidentally” got into trouble, the Shen family would not suspect anything.

Even if they did, they would not suspect him.

“Brother Que,” Gu Xiaobao trotted a few steps, smiled sweetly and pulled the back of Shen Que’s coat, “The river god is getting married tomorrow, a big day that only happens once every twenty years, how about we go to watch the ceremony together?”

Thinking of what the other party said, “act a little more intimate,” Shen Que nodded: “Okay.”
