Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 40 On the Road
Three days on the road was Gu Jinli's limit, he would only wait for at most three days, after all, his life was his own, he was his, there was no reason to put himself in it just to wait for someone else.
Gu Dafu did not want to leave, he looked at the grave next to him and said, "There are still villagers still alive in the village, they will definitely return, let's wait." He said: "
Uncle, look at yourself, how many people are left at the foot of this mountain? The survivors are running out, so what are you waiting for? We have to wait for you, anyway we won't wait.”
Third grandfather said, “True, third uncle."
Madam Chen was smart, and directly drew third grandfather to him, obviously to isolate Gu Dafu alone.
Gu Dagui also disapproved of Gu Dafu continuing to die and wait, and persuaded: "Brother, let's go. If the villagers returned, they would have long since returned. If they hadn't been back for three days, they would've been gone." What happened that night was terrible
. How many surviving villagers would dare to return?
Gu Dafu did not speak, he felt that the village chief killed the villagers, and as the successor of the village chief, he had to stay and wait for the villagers.
Seeing Gu Dafu speechless, Madam Chen jumped up anxiously, pulled Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei, and said to Gu Dafu, "Uncle, you should think about Big Brother Xing and Big Brother Mei, respectively, don't you want them to accompany you? when are you hungry?" Die of thirst here? If they die, do you deserve to be my sister-in-law?"
Gu Dafu's daughter-in-law was also killed that night.
Gu Dexing and Gu Yumei broke away from Chen's pull and stepped aside, neither wanting nor daring to force Gu Dafu to make a decision.
Madam Chen glared at them angrily: "You two are heartless, I did it for your own good, don't you really want to stay here with your father and accompany the dead?" Gu Dexing and Gu
Yumei went to Gu's house after hearing the word "dead". The village grave glanced at him, and his body trembled.
Seeing this, Madam Chen let out a cold snort, knowing that she was scared, so she forced Gu Dafu along.
The third grandfather looked at Gu Dafu, and persuaded him, "Dafu, don't wait, let's go, we still have more than 30 lives here, we can't pay for everything here." "Third Uncle
... " Gu Dafu He finally lifted his head and looked at the third grandfather with tears in his eyes.
The third grandfather said: "Let's go, quite a number of people in the village died, we can't die anymore in this group."
Hearing this, Gu Dafu looked at the family at the resting place, paused for a moment, and finally nodded his Promise: "Let's go!"
After hearing Gu Dafu's words, some family members felt relieved.
Madam Chen started packing her things with a smile on her face. She wanted to get some food, but was stopped by the third granny: "Mr Chen, you only need to take care of your two children. Our three families will take these things.
" The water belongs to three families, and the salt belongs to Xiaoyu herself. To be able to bring these things out for everyone to eat is already the best of humanity, and it is the dream of Mrs. Chen to want it. to bring these items to his own home.
Gu Jinli looked at Chen's every move and did not make a sound.
He carried a bag of cloth containing coarse salt on his body the entire time, and only took a small amount for the third granny every day, and asked the third granny to share it with everyone to add salt.
Escaping hunger was not easy, he could only try to take care of his family.
He told the Luo family and the third grandfather family about this, and asked each of them to tie a small bag of food to their bodies, just in case.
When Madam Chen heard what the third granny said, she had no shame on her face, while walking around the third granny, she thought about how to find an opportunity to steal food.
After deciding to leave, Gu Dafu took out the household registration papers, land deeds, and money recovered from the corpses of the villagers, and said anxiously: "Sanbo, you know, "Sanbo, what should we do with this stuff? . If we get rid of these items, what if some villagers come back to look for them?"
Madam Chen was a greedy person, and she had long thought about the deed of the land, so she hurriedly said: "Of course I brought it. Uncle, you're a boy, and you're not soft enough. Let me see these things." As he said this, he rushed to snatch it
. The land deed in Gu Dafu's hands was taken by Gu Dagui.
Gu Dagui wished he could slap her: "You mother-in-law are crazy about money? That's dead man money. If you take it, you won't be afraid that the dead villagers will come to you at night?" afraid of ghosts Hearing this, he was terrified
His face turned pale, and he did not dare to think of the deed of the land.
The third grandfather thought for a moment, and said, "Bury them one by one in front of the grave."
Since ancient times, there has been a habit of living people burying some items in front of ancestral graves, and everyone in the village knows that If there is a small pouch of soil in front of you, You know there's something in it, and you'll dig it up to see it.
After hearing this, Gu Dafu agreed, and along with Father Luo, Gu Dashan, Uncle Tian, Damu and Gu Dalin, he collected household registration papers, land deeds, and so on, and the wallets of each family, and digging a small row of holes in front of the graves.
According to the rank of each household in the village, small stones of equal number with rank were found surrounding small pockets of soil as a differentiator, so that the returning villagers will not take things from other people's homes accidentally.
The third grandfather called out to those big men, and finally kowtowed to the graveyard of the land where the villagers were buried. After waking up, he said to everyone: "Let's go." Everyone felt extremely heavy and panicked when they heard these two words
. the road ahead is still long, and they don't know what else they will encounter.
Gu Jinli tied up the cloth bag, took out a dagger and wooden stick, held tightly onto Gu Jinxiu and Cui's hands, and walked behind Gu Dashan who was holding Cheng Ge'er, led by Luo and Qin Lao's father and son, in the direction the Yongtai House left.
Master Qin said: "When we arrive at Yongtai Mansion, we can go south along Chi Dao."
There were four Da Chi Dao in the Chu Dynasty, alternating east, west, north, south, and four directions, and the intersection of the four Da Chi Roads was at the Yongtai Mansion, turning south.
Transportation was uncomfortable in ancient times. Among them, only Elder Qin and Father Luo traveled far. Compared to Father Luo, Elder Qin was more familiar with this route, so they could only trust what Elder Qin said.
"Thank you, brother." The third grandfather said with gratitude. Master Qin said with a smile,
“What's the problem? But after what happened that night, the victims were as frightened as birds, even if they met familiar faces, they would not take the initiative to say hello, and just rushed along with the people closest to them. Third grandfather and the others were also afraid that these victims would do something drastic. They nod most when meeting acquaintances, and they don't go up to say hello. Everyone split up, everyone just in case. The group walked for four days towards the Yongtai Mansion, fortunately finding the mountain springs half dry, and finally not dying of thirst. As they were about to enter the Yongtai Mansion area, they suddenly saw a large group of survivors running back frantically, some of them still covered in blood. Gu Jinli was stunned, knowing something was wrong, and immediately said to everyone: "Let's quickly find a place to hide, and don't go into the Yongtai House!" Elder Qin's expression darkened, and he hurriedly said: "There must be something wrong with the Yongtai Mansion, everyone is hiding quickly." Then he said to Qin Sanlang: "Sanlang, arrest the disaster victims and ask what happened to them?"
