Chapter 233: Dangyu
I didn't expect Lin Qingyan to report her surname, she is a girl's family, and it is understandable not to say her name.
The old man was silent for a few seconds before he said slowly: "Old man, my surname is Gu, you can call me Uncle Gu," he said, turning his head to look at the boy, "Call my grandson Xiao Gu." β
"Uncle Gu, although there are some things, I asked, you may not be very happy, just like just now, but I still have to ask," Lin Qingyan looked serious, and did not wait for Uncle Gu to answer, and then said: "Uncle Gu, since you are from Liucheng, how can you be homeless, is something happening, can you tell me?"
Lin Qingyan asked so directly, the old man thought for a while, and then he said what happened to him.
Gu Bo was originally a villager named Gujia Village in the west of Liucheng, when he was young, Gu Bo and his wife had no children for three years, under the kind advice of the neighbor, adopted a baby boy whose parents were unknown, and after adopting the baby boy for a year, Gu Bo's wife became pregnant, and then gave birth to his own son, and had his own child, Gu Bo and his wife are also very good for the adopted son, but after the adopted son grew up, in the idle words of others, when he learned that he was not Gu Bo's biological son, the heart slowly became estranged, and when the two children grew up, after each married a wife and had children, the family contradictions became bigger and bigger, and the daughter-in-law of the adopted son was a tricky and pungent master, and the wind blowing on the pillow made the adopted son and the Gu family more and more centrifugal, Gu Bo's wife was even more angry with a series of big and small things, the old lady really couldn't stand the toss of the adopted son's family, and came up with a split family, let the adopted son's family go out alone to live their own days, but the family has not been divided, the sunny day thunderbolt, his own son and daughter-in-law both fell into the river and drowned on the way home, Gu Bo's wife couldn't stand the blow, and then died of illness, the son and daughter-in-law died strangely, Gu Bo Huaiying adopted the son, but because there was no evidence, I wanted to drive the adopted son out of the house, but I didn't want to be driven out by the adopted son, and the leg was injured by the adopted son, and finally ended up in this broken house and his own grandson depended on each otherγ
Uncle Gu's experience Lin Qingyan is very sympathetic, he is like this, he can't help them for the time being, and it is even more unrealistic to go to Gu Bo's adopted son theory, he can do such a righteous thing to his adoptive father, and his character is extremely poor, Uncle Gu was kicked out, no one in the village helped, and he was indifferent to him, the only way was for her to return to Hengcheng as soon as possible and ask Qi Ruochen for help, she believed that Ruochen would definitely be able to help Uncle Gu.
"Uncle Gu, you can go back to Hengcheng with me. After thinking about the matter, Lin Qingyan spoke, looking at Gu Bo seriously with his eyes.
"Girl!" Gu Bo looked surprised.
Uncle Gu's reaction, Lin Qingyan could understand, she smiled and said: "Although I can't help Uncle Gu now, but when I go back to Hengcheng, I can find someone who can help, it will take time for me to return to Hengcheng, and I don't worry about your ancestors and grandchildren here, it is better to go back with me and take care of it." β
"The girl can't help it," the old man's eyes were slightly wet, his left hand waved in front of him, and the whole person said excitedly, "If the girl is really as you said, I can help the old man and me, I am already grateful, how can I go back with you and drag you down on the road." β
"Uncle Gu, are you really afraid of dragging me down, or are you afraid that I will lie to you by saying big things", Lin Qingyan said and looked at the boy.
The boy glanced at Lin Qingyan a little confused, and then turned his gaze to look at the old man, expecting the old man to speak.
"What can the girl deceive us, we don't have anything now, are we still afraid of being deceived by the girl?" the old man lowered his voice, "It's just that the girl herself is injured, and it's inconvenient for the old man and me to hurt my foot, how can the girl take us away with us, many things, easier said than done." β
Unexpectedly, the old man thought of this, since Lin Qingyan dared to let go and take them away, he naturally had already thought of a way, he couldn't help but smile, raised his hand and smoothed the broken hair on his forehead behind his ears, "Uncle Gu is fine as long as you are not afraid that I will lie to you, and I will prepare for other things tomorrow." β
Lin Qingyan chatted with Uncle Gu for a while, and finally after hard work, he asked Uncle Gu to change his mouth and call her Xiao Lin, and when Xiao Gu saw that his grandfather changed his mouth, he also changed his name to call her Sister Lin. Since the three of them changed their words, the atmosphere has changed a lot, and there is no longer the detached politeness at the beginning.
In the evening, Xiao Gu took out some dry food and distributed it to Lin Qingyan, and after everyone ate the hot water, they chatted for a while, and then rested.
Early the next morning, Lin Qingyan went to the river under the guidance of Xiao Gu, washed and tidied herself up, using water as a mirror, she found that the disfigured ointment on her face was long gone, and she was secretly glad that when she was unconscious, she met a good person like Gu Bo and them, if she met some bad people, seeing her current appearance, it was possible to sell her.
After returning to the house, Lin Qingyan greeted Uncle Gu, and then asked the address of the lively street market in Liucheng before slowly going out.
If she wants to go back to Hengcheng, she has to need money, and now the only valuable thing on her body is the warm jade that she has been wearing close to her neck, when she was in the river, when she hit the reef, her right shoulder was injured and the warm jade was still there, it was a great luck, the warm jade was given to her by Qi Ruochen, she cherished it very much, she kept wearing it, and never left her body, but now she can exchange money, it can only be it, things are urgent, and when she returns to Hengcheng, she will find a way to redeem the warm jade. Nuan Yu Li Hui Jue Master gave her a soul fixing spell for her to wear it for forty-nine days, but since she came back from the temple, too many things have happened, counting the days, there is still some time before forty-nine days, but now I can't take care of these, and when Nuan Yu redeems it and wears it again for a full time, there will be no problem in thinking about it.
Walking all the way and asking, Lin Qingyan finally arrived at the lively street market that Gu Bo said, only to see the shops on both sides of the street, all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, so lively, shouting, shouting, bargaining, diners chatting, the whole street is noisy and noisy, Lin Qingyan walked expressionlessly, while looking for a pawnshop, after walking a street, her feet were already sore, the whole street down, she was about to walk to the end of the street before she found a pawnshop, only two middle-aged women in the pawnshop were doing things, Lin Qingyan stood outside the door and looked inside, listened to the conversation inside, not in a hurry to go in, she was in a pawnshop This is the first time she has come, she wants to make more money, you have to learn the skill of speaking, just like buying clothes, learn to bargain. After waiting for the person who was inside to come out, Lin Qingyan stepped in.
Behind the pawnshop counter sat a middle-aged man with a fortune, wearing a blue-brown brocade robe with a very good texture, his skin was smooth and oily, his face was round, like a white fat steamed bun with a face, his eyes were small and round, but shrewd and shiny, since Lin Qingyan entered the room, his eyes seemed to be a scanning machine, and he scanned Lin Qingyan from beginning to end.
