Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 38 Debate
"Go south?" The third grandfather frowned deeply, picked up the letter paper from Gu Jinli, and called Gu Jinan: "Sister An, come and see." Third grandfather doesn't know many words, see No
knowing what was written on it, Gu Jinan pointed to the words on the letter paper and told him word by word.After Gu Jinan finished speaking, the third grandfather frowned deeper.
Gu Dafu also frowned and said: "Why do you want to go south? The ancestors of our Gu family village are from Yangji Prefecture in the east. This time we fled from hunger to return to our ancestral lands. If we went south, we would get further and further away from our ancestral land.Before the village started to flee from hunger, his father had discussed with the villagers that he was
wanting to return to Yangji's ancestral home, and the villagers agreed, so they continued heading east.
"In addition, all disaster victims go east, so let's go south, isn't this separate from everyone? What should we do if something happens?" Gu Dafu was a relatively rigid person. After half of the villagers were killed After the calamity, he tended to be more conservative, i.e., honestly following the route set by Village Chief Gu.
After fleeing the famine for several months, he was already familiar with the survivors who had fled together, and he would feel perplexed if suddenly separated from the victims.
Madam Chen also did not want to go south. Hearing Gu Dafu's words, he elbowed Gu Dagui. Seeing Gu Dagui ignoring him, he simply said to himself, "Sanbo, we can't go south. I heard the people in the south are deceiving people. If we go If you go south, you will definitely be bullied to death by the southerners."
Gu Dagui scolded: "What do you know, ******? Silence me. The southerners bully you, but the people in Yangji House don't bully you? As long as you leave your hometown, you will be bullied if you build a family there."
Hearing Gu Dagui's words, Chen frowned, and did not speak anymore.
The third grandfather looked at Gu Jinli and asked, "Xiaoyu, tell me, why did the young master of the Qi family let us go south?"
Then he looked to the several families present, especially the brothers Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui, and said, "Young master of the Qi family is Juren, he is well-informed, he is well-informed, he could hand over this letter to Xiaoyu, it looks that he sincerely wants to remind us."
The third grandfather said this because he wanted to defend Gu Jinli. After all, he was a ten-year-old child, it was better not to bring anything for him.
Some adults nodded and said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, tell us, why did the young master of the Qi Mansion remind us to go south?"
Gu Jinli said: "The east is too cold. I heard that the Yangji Mansion in the east will be cold in autumn. When it snows, when it is coldest, there is ice everywhere, which can freeze a person to death. Now early autumn, if we go further east, we will freeze to death before reaching Yangji House." Hearing this, some adults said
, Surprised. Luo father walked through the arrows and got complete information. He heard about the coldness in the east, and said: "Xiaoyu is right. There is a place in the east that snows in autumn. It's chilly. "Qin Lao also said
: "When I was young, I went to the Yangji Mansion several times, the place was very cold, very cold in winter, people didn't dare to go out, they all stayed at home." He saw some clothes
family , and said to the third grandfather: "Sister Gu, we don't have any winter clothes to withstand the cold now. If we go east, we will freeze to death before reaching Yangji House. "When Master Qin said this, the family's face was pale because
terrified.
The third grandmother looked at the clothes on everyone, and said with fear: "Then we can't go to Yangji House, we will freeze to death in the street." Madam Chen looked at the clothes
at the four members of their family, thinking of them going east I might be frozen to death, and I was afraid, too afraid to speak again.
Gu Dafu was also hesitant.
Gu Jinli took the opportunity to say: "Not only is it cold in the east, but there are also many casualties. The victims from seven prefectures in the northwest went east in groups and ate all the food they could eat. There were only leaves and grass roots left. If we go further east, what will we eat? We will freeze to death or starve to death.”
Master Qin seemed to have no desire to go east, so he took Gu Jinli's words and said, "The disaster victims are likely to have accidents. When everyone is hungry, the victims of the disaster will begin to take food. Most of the criminals a few days ago The victims who escaped from hunger were so hungry that they took hoes and shovels to kill people and rob things."
Qin Lao stopped, then continued: "The bad guys are also going east, right in front of us, if we go further east, Maybe we will meet them."
Everyone was still afraid of the criminal a few days ago, and when they heard what Elder Qin said, their faces turned pale with fear.
Madam Chen was the first to say: "Then why should we go east? Don't go, it's too dangerous, let's go south. "Even if southerners bully people, they won't kill people with hoes like those criminals.
When Qin Erlang heard Master Qin's words, he glanced at him anxiously, and held back when he wanted to say something.
Gu Jinli continued: "There is nothing wrong with the south. It's warm in there. I heard there was a lot of rain and very little drought. If we go south, we'll have a good life. At least we don't have to worry about drinking water." Father Luo nodded in agreement:
"South is indeed warmer than the north, and there is a lot of rain. I heard that the people there did not plant sorghum or wheat, but the rice was filled with water in the fields." "Fill the fields with water ?!" Chen was surprised
. Water grows in dry soil. He had lived half his life, but he had never heard that the soil could be filled with water.
“Then what are you waiting for, let's go south.” When Madam Chen heard that the south was full of water and not dry, she was very envious, and wished she could go south to settle down now.
The third grandfather looked at Gu Dafu and asked, "Dafu, what are you talking about? Do you want to go east or south? "
The possibility of going east to freeze to death and starve to death was too high Half of the villagers in Gu Village had died. Gu Dafu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said with tears in his eyes, "Let's go south."
When they have a future in the south, they will return to the ancestral land of Yangji House, and his father's wishes are fulfilled.
The third grandfather asked Gu Dashan and Father Luo what they meant, and seeing that they both agreed, he said, "In that case, let's go south, let's go south, but this is a decision made by our family together, and it has nothing to do with Xiaoyu. If we go South is not fine, and none of you can blame Xiaoyu. "
Gu Dafu, as the son of the village chief, had considered himself the village chief of the Gu family village. Hearing this, he was the first to express his opinion: "Don't worry, Sanbo. We will not blame Xiaoyu. "
After listening to the third grandfather, he nodded in satisfaction, the family said a few words, and after arranging the manpower for the night watch, they spread the weeds on the ground and began to rest.
In the middle of the night, Gu Jinli and Luo Huiniang woke up at night, and as they walked into the withered grass, they heard a small quarrel.
"We agreed to go to Yangji House to find Liu Shishu. Why did we go south? We don't have a foundation in the south, so what's the point of going south?!" This was Qin Erlang's voice. He was very excited, and his voice was full of anger and fury.
"Second Brother, Grandpa was right. We don't know what happened to Uncle Liu. We don't know what's going on. If we go there rashly, it's easy to get into trouble. Why don't we go south first, and send a letter to Uncle Liu after we settle down south.
" Silence, I'm not your second brother." Qin Erlang almost roared: "It's not your family that died, of course you're not in a hurry to get revenge!" "
Erlang, shut up." This was the sound of old Qin's nagging.
